2005-11-03T05:03:00.000-08:00

yes!!
this might not sound nice!!!
but we r a nation of insensitive ppl!!

quakes in kashmir!!!india ignores it!!!!

blasts in delhi!!!!

india celebrates diwali a couple of days later w/o caring tht the victims of this incident deserved greater respect!!!

2 top it all, a certain useless actor(sorry, movie star) turns 40 nd tht makes headlines!!!!

wow!!our priorities say so much abt our mentalities!!!!

2005-10-23T03:42:00.000-07:00

i dont think it was such a good idea makin a blog on indiatimes!!!mayb i'll try rediff this time!!!(han han!! go on!!!i wont blame if u think i'm really vella!!! kya kare yar!!)

virginity isnt dignity

2005-10-19T05:49:00.000-07:00

read this on a frnd's tee!!

"virginity ain't dignity!
it's just lack of opportunity!!!"

tht was meant 2 b funny!!!
but 2 a 21(almost 22) yr old virgin, it wasnt!!!!

ya!!!i'm 21(almost 22) nd still virgin!!!!
nd i'm frustrated!!so much tht i get the feeling tht "civil engg." is an abbreviation 4 "Condemned 2 Infinite Virginity In Life"!!!!but tht's obviously not true, as most other civil engineers'll tell u!!!!

but i'm not one of 'em nd i dont c myself breaking in2 tht elite club of achievers in the near future!!!!

i'm back!!!!

2005-10-19T05:43:00.000-07:00

ya!!was home 4 dussehra the last week!!!!
came back last saturday!!!!!!

sat 4 Mock-7!!!!thoroughly screwed it up!!!!! 30 days 2 go 4 the real CAT nd i manage 2 goof-up big time!!which makes a serious dent in my confidence!!!

dunno if i'll manage 2 pull it off???????

2005-10-06T04:49:00.000-07:00

the first game's over!!!!
nd the world XI was comprehensively beaten!!

it's only the first game nd already ppl've started pointing fingers!!
one newspaper felt tht none of the players gelled 2gether nd so u couldn't spot a single threatening partnership (both in the batting or the bowling deptts.)!!

the show tht they put up yesterday was really disappointing!! but isnt it a li'l 2 early 2 write 'em off!!!! mayb not!!!

howevr, as i wrote earlier, this series might turn out 2 b a no-contest which'ld b a real disappointment after the highly engrossing ashes!!!

lets hope the World XI does a better job in the nxt game!!!!

will they beat 'em???

2005-10-04T05:41:00.000-07:00

well!!!
it's finally gonna start!!
the battle b/w the greatest team nd the team of the gr8est players(atleast gavaskar nd co.'ld like us 2 think so) is all set 2 begin!!!

pollock nd smith's choice as skipper nd inzi's ommission have been hotly debated!!!
but inspite of whtevr one might say, the team's a formidable one!!!
i dont think this aussie side's evr been up against better opposition!!!!

but the problem with these high-profile events is tht they often turn out 2 b disappointingly one-sided!!! i hope tht doesn't happen this time!!!

nd being an indian, i do hope tht dravid d sehwag turn out 2 b the star performers 4 the world XI !!!!

Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Mara

2005-10-03T06:44:00.000-07:00

i usually dont make 2 different posts on the same day!! but i just happened 2 notice wht the date was nd it reminded me of 2nd october which in turn reminded me of this article on Gandhi tht i came across in HT or TOI a couple of days back!!!

it made a very good suggestion tht mayb the fact tht our political establishment tried potraying Gandhi as a God which ppl naturally question, leading 2 a situation where ppl talk derisively abt n individual whose contribution 2 indian nd international history cannot b questioned (though tht's precisely wht's happening 2day)

the solution 2 this situation offered by the guy who wrote this article was 2 portray Gandhi as more of a human( a very important one without a doubt) rather than trying 2 idolize him!!!!!
nd 2 begin with, mayb we should'nt have a national holiday on his b'day!!!(i know a lot of ppl'ld kill me 4 suggestin this!!!)

angels nd demons

2005-10-03T06:20:00.000-07:00

dont worry!!
i'm not gonna deliver a sermon!!!!

it's just the name of this novel by Dan Brown tht i read last week!!!
the novel reminded me of da Vinci Code , fast-paced, exciting 4 most part, but a disappointing end!!

i also read 5 Point Someone!!!!!
now Dan Brown might b an international best-seller, but very frankly speaking, i liked the other one better!!!!! mayb b'coz i'm also n engineer nd the novel did remind me a lot of the last 3 years tht i spent in the hostel!!!!(but i was 4tunate b'coz i was nevr asked by a senior 2 take tht coke bottle up "u know where"!!!!)

ganguly v/s chappell

2005-09-27T05:31:00.000-07:00

wow!!!
seems like it doesn't matter wht the indian team does on or off the field, it still makes the headlines!!mostly 4 the wrong reasons(but tht's smthing i'm not gonna discuss right now)!!

even as i write this (or type this 2 b more precise), there's news on cricinfo.com tht the board's asked the 2 of 'em (chappell nd ganguly) 2 work out sm kinda compromise!! nd ya, the entire team has been told 2 avoid ny interaction with the media frm now on!!!

now after tht decision, i wonder how'll indian cricket nd cricketters stay in the news!!
'coz their performances on the field r defnitely not worth writing much abt!!

nd can we really xpect ganguly nd chappell 2 work things out after wht has happened in these past few days????

crap!!!!!

2005-09-25T03:47:00.000-07:00

i finally thought tht sm'un read my blog when i found tht there was a comment on one of my posts!!

but it turned out 2 b sm kinda promotion 4 sm site!!!(mother-fuckers)

nyways!!it's another sunday gone nd i'm still unable 2 find a way of crack the CAT(tht's n MBA enterance xam)!!!! my scores r stagnant!!nd so is my percentile!!!

but tht's OK!!!
'coz i've loads of free time on my hands!!!can u blv it!! no wakin up early morning 2 attend college!!! wht else could a guy ask 4????

P.S: i had 2 write this 'coz i noticed tht all my posts ended with question marks!!! dunno y???
oops!!!

Religion,the opium of the masses

2005-09-24T03:35:00.000-07:00

my family gave me a lotta freedom when i was growin up!!
i was encouraged 2 question nything nd everything!!! which meant tht i was always confused as 2 whether i was an atheist or a believer!! no matter how liberal my father might have been, he finally belongs 2 the category of ppl who r theists!!!

when i was in complete control of my life, i would question His existence, but i'ld go 2 the Gurudwara the day i had xams!!!

but over the years, i've begun feeling tht religion is smthin tht takes advantage of an individual's insecurities 2 assert it's control over the person's life!!
remember those famous words,"religion is the opium of the masses" (or whtevr it was)!!

if the mind, when in complete control of the situation (nd also completely free of ny biases) questions the validity of God's existence, shouldn't we give up our respective religions nd become atheists????????

finally!!!!sm good news!!!

2005-09-16T03:21:00.000-07:00

yes!!!
the results r out!!
i've finally been placed!!!!
the L&T results arrived by fax nd i was one of only 3 candidates frm our college 2 make it!!!
tht was a huge relief!!!
nxt were the obvious demands 4 treats by my frnds!!!!
but boy!!m i happy!!

whiling away my time!!!

2005-09-15T05:50:00.000-07:00

i've been sittin here thinkin of wht 2 do!!!!
havin nothin 2 do might sound lik a blessin, but frm my personal xperience,i can tell u tht, it can turn out 2 b one hell of a pain in the ass!!!

the free time tht i have on my hands means tht i'm stayin up l8 in2 the night nd wakin up only when it's time 4 lunch!!!

nxt on my schedule is a couple of hours of net-surfing!!! which is actually turnin out 2 b really borin!!!tht's precisely y i'm writin this bull-shit!!!

nd wht do i plan 2 do nxt???
well!! i'll check out this site where u can play "sudoku"!!

in case u dunno wht sudoku is(i really doubt if tht's possible), then......
wht's google 4 man!!!!

schizophrenia

2005-09-14T04:45:00.000-07:00

i dunno if i got tht spellin right or not!!!
but i hope u've got wht i'm tryin 2 talk abt!!!
i came across this article on schizophrenia tht gave a list of symptoms of this disease!!!!!

nd one of 'em was "talkin aloud 2 urself"!!!
now tht's a habit i've had 4 quite sm time now!!specially if i'm sittin all alone readin smthin, i'll start talkin non-sense 2 myself!!!!

i wonder if this is smthin a lotta ppl do!!!!or mayb, i'm a schizophrenic!!!!i hope not!!
the word itself is very scary!!i wonder how bad the disease might b??????

2005-09-13T05:43:00.000-07:00

it's been more thn a week since we went 4 the L&T placement interviews!!!
the results r not yet out!!!
nd b'coz i'm the kinda guy who blvs tht "if smthin can go wrong, it will", i get the feelin tht things will probably go wrong in the comin days nd i'll have blown the one chance tht i had 2 get placed on-campus!!!!

i could tell 100's of other reasons y i feel doomed right now!!!!
but i'm way 2 lazy 2 do so!!!!

wonder if nythin's evr gonna turn out right 4 me!!!
wonder if i'll evr get rid of this stupidly pessimistic attitude of mine!!!

2005-09-12T05:25:00.000-07:00

it's 12th sept,papers've been carryin on nd on abt tht "fateful day" 4 years back!!
i couldn't help but mention 9/11 here!!!simply b'coz it seems 2 b everywhere!!! in fact the events of tht day have dominated almost every discussion on political affairs in every corner of the world!!!

but i wonder if it has really changed nything in reality????
my life has definitely not changed (neither 4 better nor 4 worse)!!nd i think most kashmiris 2 would b of tht very opinion!!

2005-09-11T03:38:00.000-07:00

i wanted 2 c wht my blog'll look like!!
nd i needed 2 make a post 4 doin tht!!
so here's my first post!!!
entirely useless!!
much like my entire life!!!
