Sunny: August 2004

The title says it all. Well, till yesterday, I was wondering what must have gone wrong with Gmail, for the fact that I was not getting invites at all, though I've been one of the heaviest users of the aforestated. But now, I can showcase a big gritty smile, my total invites summed up to 13 and 12 of them flooded my mailbox in a single day. No more detesting Gmail for its policies. As of now, Gmail rules, and it'll take a long time before my opinion switches over to the negative side.

School is just another lovely thought. Thanks to Div's blog, I have those funny memories ringing around the corners of my mind. This December, I'm definitely going to pay a visit to King Koti. It's only four years, but feels like ages since I last had one of those sweet times. I was there with Shiva once, I don't really remember how long it has been. When I was out there on the ground, preparatory school kids were working their feet around in joy. I remember a boy who was crying because his shoelace went loose. He kind of pouted, and that was CUTE. I went to him, tied his lace, and it was like the poor thing was not yet out of the "shock", he still possessed that little frown on his face, but I was glad I relieved him atleast that much. I could guess it from the way he rambled later. School, school, school.

Let me have a proper look at the things I've really stood up to this semester. Schedule - Highly improper (Proof: Its 0236 hrs and I'm composing a blog now.) Lectures - Bunking again, Gaming - Full flow, still unbridled, Food - Now I cannot explain that, Economy check - Utter failure, A-Poem-A-Day - Never happened that way, Sleep - I hate when I have more of it, To Do List - Sounds silly, but really essential for a messy person like me, Software Stuff - Complete loser, Vocabulary - Halted like hell, Room - Sick than ever, Health and Hygenics - Careless... and the list will consume longevity.

Fine.. why rue over the past. Next week, there's a proper time slot table I'll adhere to, so it's gonna change. Yeah, I'll make sure things change, because it's high time they oughtta change.

And now about how so far today's been. Here I am, very glad that I woke up early after only four hours of sleep, and also happy for having sustained my consciousness till now. I am right now bunking a lecture because I do not want to go to it. Attended the first two lectures though. And had some brilliant art compositions flow from my hand. I sketched something in my life for the first time. I guess that was commendable piece of art in the end. Now, in the lab, busy composing these blogs, just read Div's and gave some elite enlightening comments. On second thought, not really elite, daaaarn, neither were they enlightening.

Today's DCP lecture seemed a bit complex at the end of it. Everything just went over my head. I was actually shocked to see people confidently nodding their heads at what I felt was not even palpable to my mind. Now I am a bit troubled, because I roamed around in a mall for about 4 hrs, wearing a Short Kurta, which (I did not realise till today morning) was torn under the armpits. Disgusting. Again, who cares ?? That was yesterday, and I really can't help it any further now. That too considering the fact that such meagre things could be overlooked, specially when you just jollied around all the time ignorant of the fact that you were wearing defective clothes ;) .

Yesterday will be one of those happy times I've had till now.All I wanted was to purchase two items for gifts. And I ended up spending more than a K and one-sixth the day. We first made our way to Raj's mobile phone purchase. He did that in a jiffy, believe me, I would have taken more time on choosing a proper shirt in a mart. Hey, mart, thats exactly what I am talkin about. Too bad I did not take my credit card, I had to compromise on a few things yesterday. Who cares ? I actually had a lot of fun. Moving around from floor to floor. We decided to get into the basketball court, hence ended up buying one, I mean - a basketball. Shed some bucks on 4 cool tees. And I love the one in white. It has a person in blue inverted, and the caption was "Sheeesh... aaasan". Yo, that was catchy. It looked so geeky and properly designed, I couldn't resist buying one of those. Later spend about forty whole minutes on choosing two gifts. And Raj was there giving the most gruesome and tinny suggestions. I was looking at some graceful figurines and he was indicating a skeleton pair for a birthday gift, something I would not acquiesce with. To add salt to the wounds, he made such multiple suggestions. Yeah, one of them was a hooded monster carrying an unconscious lass in his arms. Hey, who would, but perverts, choose that for a birthday gift. I couldn't get that radical as well. Then gnawed on a Walnut Pastry and ate a Chocolate Cheese Cake. We both got each of us, one of those "alternative amulets". As usual, it was 2130 hrs and I did not eat the whole day (the pastry - an exception). So we jumped into Mc Ds and feeded on a Mc Alu Tikki and a Mc Vegg Puff. Boy, tastes you could seriously relish. Big Bazaar rules. So does Mc Donald's. I don't want to sound gay, so I am precisely not making comments about Raj.

Look who's at the center of all trouble. Yes, its this guy who decided to choose User Centered Design for his elective. I wonder whether half way through the course, in my process to inculcate professional attitude, I might as well lose my passion for creative quests. Still wondering, whether bunking lectures today would be unethical or sensible on my part. I was almost about to venture into the book - "Don't make me think" by Steve Krug, then had that real bad untimely dizzy feeling. I need to something. I need to do something.

Just about 4 hrs ago, it was a photo session with my pal's JB007 Stealth Camera. Won't believe ?? I swear !! At least, something that's the size of a matchbox, with a storage capacity of 100 photos, resolution 640 * 480, capacity to take a short video clip, costs less than half ten hundred bucks, could be called a Stealth Camera. And it's something wonderful to possess. I would've uploaded a few pics of mine if this bloggerbot were not denied access by this stupid firewall.

How about turning your attention to my "Second day in this semester" ? First day was common as ever, however I did manage to get my attendance stand still at 100 %. And I did discover the potential risk of being seated in the second row in Baba's period. Very sad, Raj has moved to off-campus. And this idiot, in front of me, in blue tee won't stop blabbering. Look, he's talking about STYLE. Oula Pasha is what I would like to refer to him as.

Certainly on a low.. not really having the time of my life. I don't even get to enter IM convos these days. Feeling the semester pressure already. And to top it all, Vind cheated me :(, and I had to leave my so-coveted second bench. Well, there are things I need to keep track of.

At least I am glad, I am not bunking like the girl I used to talk to, this vacation. She's started off her own blog, with an impressive word morph, I must say. I am but surprised at the new Real Slim Riddhi hysteria that sprang in my circle of mates.

There it is. Indicating the presence of multitudinous entities in this region. Very sad that even JAP connectivity gives me the same feeling. Too much traffic in the college. Wish we had a few acres more. This is the end of it. Maybe, tomorrow is my day, and every tomorrow there after. All the Best.

Swayamkruthaparadham - Yep, a bit complex, but its been a part and parcel of my life. Wonder when I will shed this habit of obfuscating my future. Knock knock !! Does someone have a time machine ??

God extricate them !! Imagine being trapped in a train delayed by 30 hours. Unimaginable huh ?? The situation itself, is so intractable, you wish so desperately to get out of it, I believe even Arvind will not deny a bath after he'll arrive here. And poor Voodoo, he's got issues to manage, and not really the time of the year to be bugged. May their souls R.I.P before the train starts off again. Amen

I dunno, but this one might make a good start. I was chatting with Div today and happened to create this out of nowhere. Let me scribble down this shayari from the blue.

ek din apna bhi kismat phutenga
ek achisi girl friend zaroor milengi
Mc d, 10d , ghoomenga, gayenga, mouj karenga
Piyega, khayega, aur bill woh pay karengi
