Worst movie going experience

Hi folks,
Belated merry Christmas n Happy New Year in advance (just in case)
Right now I’m at my home town, enjoying the much needed and well deserved break from chatting, eating out, surfing, counterstrike, novels, movie and pretty much all the stuffs a typical soon-to-be-engineer would do.
So on 25th December my school buddies decide to go to this special hall named Asha talkies to watch Aamir’s Ghajini (well logically it was everyone else’s Ghajini too but the only reason I agreed to go after watching a lot of bollywood crap is Aamir’s-a-movie-a-year commitment) Now I had never heard of this cinema hall before, and was surprised that they actually put up Ghajini the day it was released nation wide. Because my hometown is a place where kaho naa pyar hai was released in a hall 24 km away, one month later. Eventually we all ended up at Asha talkie; with 20 bucks a balcony ticket (first day second show, beat that!)

And then as they say “all good things must come to an end.”

We were informed that the movie starts around 3.15 pm. everyone started standing in a single line near the entrance. We joined dutifully. Then the line became lines and by 3.00pm it was more or less a big mob of rustic local people jostling around and packed in the entrance like choc-a-bloc. And to our horror we realized our tickets were not number!! It was rationale of us to get into the mad mob to grab a seat and watch the movie. So did us. One hour (midst a hundred swear words, pan spittle, sweaty and stinky crowd) later the entrance was yet to be opened.

We couldn’t take it any longer. Ghajini be damned!! After all it was just a frame to frame copy of Asin Surya’s Tamil version, which again was a copy of the Hollywood flick memento. Damn Indian directors! Damn Aamir khan!! Damn releasing the movie on a Thursday! And finally damn Asha talkies!!!!

Finally returned back to home after a long drive with friends and watched ghajini (Tamil) and memento again.

Worst movie going experience ever!! Of course it had nothing to do with the movie (2 days later, I firmly agree)

Small towns as they say never grow up!!

Redemption Over!!

Ok folks!!
I'm finally back, well well well, lot of questions huh? wat d heck was i doing for an entire semester, depriving my folks from the sarcasm , the much needed cynicism n the wits?anyway we'll discuss about all that later, i mean we could right now, but honestly does it matter....
C ya around!!

alive and drowsy

Well just a small reminder to everyone out there tat i've not been kidnapped, or hit on the head with a sledgehammer !!

VITEEE (witty??)

Hi folks,
welcome back after that rather long stint of self imposed exile due to various factors such as lab record completion, assignment submission (read shamelessly copying n plagarism) lab exams, re-registration exams n stuffs...
Well a strange stuff happened today...We people went to BHEL Ranipet, Boiler Auxillary Plant for two weeks of inplant training and the security department denied us admission. Reason??
1) we were non-tamilians!!!
2) We were from VIT !!! It seems some of my seniors showed off their cell phones and were less interested in the training.
3)We talked among our selves a lot while waiting at the lobby!!!
4)Already 35 students from VIT had registered so they'd love to give chance to people from other colleges to grab the oppurtunity to register for inplant training at their industry at rs 570 for two weeks !!!
that made me deciede upon two things!! i'm not joining a core job, if at all, certainly not a PSU, if not that certainly not in Tamil nadu.

mean while VIT has it's much awaited VITEEE coming up tomorrow.... till then c ya all

valentine's day

hey people,
Sorry for this late post and belated "happy Valentine's Day" Reminds me of good old naive scool days when i'd wear new dress n romp around in the kindergarden, claiming " aj mera happy birthday hai " As the english teacher would wince at my improper use english.
Anyway all that stuff later.This blog is created to remind folks back home that Valentine's Day is a time to goof around with all those lovely friends and certainly not a time to eat out with a some lame chick you pass off as your girlfriend, or some silly brute you pretend to be your boy friend.Aaand certainly none of those shit the MNCs like hallmark and archies'd like us to believe. Valentine's day as my rediff id spams me is certainly not an occasion to brag about that $900 platinum ear studs ( $ 850 at rediff shopping discount) you gave to your girlfriend. it's about appreciating all those special people who'll stand by you when you've stooped low to bite the dirt, and believe me they can be your parents too. (so are you people convinced or do you need more crap?? i can go on and on about two true hearts celebrating everyday as valentine's day and other mushy shit of the stuff , but it'll be a serious waste of this post though tat comercial exploitations stuff is partly sad but true)

So all those who went into excruciating details to fake an ideal valentine date, pls spare us the pains and all those losers who stick to the RSS and indian cultures , go stick your b**ls in the juice grinder. Here's How i spent my valentine's Day (single's special):

09:08am --> woke up, No mushy phone calls exchanging sweet nothings. No senti messages
10.08am -->brushed, no wastage of time over having a bath or deciding which shade of black t-shirt looks nice with what jeans
10.30am-5.50 pm --> Classes went on. Teachers had no idea what Valentine's day was. though one of them guessed that it has something to do with valentino d. garner the guy who has suggested a change in design of stepper motor to avoid 40% commutation loss.
6.00pm -->returned back to room. decided that now that my not-so-available will be in a cafe or food court happily talking to the fairer sex , must do something interesting.
6.05pm -->arranged all my wall papers in alphabetic order.
6.09pm -->arranged all my playlist according to the number of times i listened to them.
6.15pm -->tried to solve suduko in the comp. failed miserably. they should create a level beyond easy, something where the empty boxes should have hints like even prime number,
6.43pm-->downloaded a movie only to discover that i didn't've the required codec
6. 57pm--> cursed the damned movie , the lousy guy who uploaded, the software that couldn't play it. let all of them never get a valentine in life.
7.02pm -->realized that spending too much time over the computer affects the spinal cord so played snakes on my outdated nokia 1108 cellphone
7.50pm --> snake rocks !!!
8.15pm -->went to mess, the food sucked. couldn't go to dine outside. was lonely and anyway the restaurants, food court and dhabas'd be crowded with the potential lovebirds.

9.53AM--> REALIZED THAT VALENTINE'S DAY SUCKED IF YOU ARE A SINGLE

10.05pm -->
Got a message from friend :

interpretation of the gifts you recieve on valentine's day:
flowers: somebody wants to have sex with you
chocolates: somebody wants to have sex with you
jwellery: somebody wants to have sex with you
shoes: somebody wants to have sex with you

smiled and went back to my old self.


enjoy being single and doing single's stuffs, because we all know it's not something you can be for ever. Happy VAlentine's ADy again.... belated

hi everybody,

Sorry for posting late.. was stuck for a lot of day and i'll tell you why.. Well we people had CAM I for about a week and half, for those of you unaware of VIT's internal examination , or a peculiar picture of any normal engineering college's examination i'll try to potray a humble image:

it goes something like this, CAMs are times when my folks here suddenly realize that they are not here to play warcraft, ages of empire , need for speed, or counterstrike, neither they exist here to watch movies or listen to songs. It suddenly dawns to them that their sole priority here is to mug equations, diagrams, and score marks. CAMs are situations when xerox centres get mysteriously rich, tonnes of maggi cooked the entire night, guys sleep early to wake up post mid-night or rote late night to get marks the next morning. There a quite a few daring ones who opt for a "night out" and manage to score marks sacrificing sleep.Still daring are people who don't study much and rest assured manage to get megre single digits, thanks to the relentless effort by Controller Of examination and his staffs who make it a point to see to it that "rote off" pays.
Still not all is dry and humourless here..
just three days after CAMs we had our much awaited Rivera, though being in third year certainly takes certain amount of fizz out of it, i promptly skipped a part of it and went to Tirupati ( please don't judge me!!) And i'm not trying to be sarcastic here or anything but it was far more fun travelling to Tirupati. the rush of being in a ghat, the view of majestic mountains, a whiff of cool fresh air, the sight of Tirupati at night (it looks as if a dark grey paper is peppered with lots of white and yellow dots, my imagination of our milkyway) is something I would choose over standing in a large crowd of mostly smelly boys and listening to songs from junkyard Grooves. never heard of that band?? Well neither had I until recently.
the shankar mahadevan show was far better, the way he gelled with the crowd, the classical baritone he has been gifted with, the hip-hop and indi-pop songs , all fell in place.

now that rivera is over and so are the exams, it's MARKs time!! but that's a different story and i'm not in a mood to disclose my almost average marks. But someday....and anyway it's still a rat race, even if you win you are still a rat, though i've started falling into the trap of marks , software, and other non-core jobs.

time 2 say good bye, but just to end this post on a thought provoking note, don't you think it's unfair on US's part to conduct an election solely judged by their own citizens when the outcome affects the entire world?? keep thinking
(though i'm convinced you'll be more interested in India srilanka tri series) :)

google view of VIT vellore

Hi people,

welcome back once more... well i was just trying a bit of google Earth and i stumbled upon this photo when i typed in VITU , so here it is in front of you the "top view" of vellore institute of technology. well that reminds me of something interesting:

presenting before you a true story of gender Bias from the hinterlands of Tamil Naidu:

Once upon a time there was a dude called as Thiru(its a form of word used by tamil people for a person as a mark of respect, however certain authors disagree about this).G.Viswa.. he was probably so sincere that kids used to refer him as Thiru.G.Viswa right from his kindergarden... so over the years he grew up like all mortals do and went in for some graduation .to cut the story short he was a smart alec and even got selected as IAS , unsatisfied with the monetary benefits he joined a political party and was kicked out. so there was our protagonist mr thiru partyless, jobless (in India you need to quit IAS to join a political party) and probably with less money than ever.. so this guy thought "Oh what the Fudge?? i can make more money than my tainted counterparts and kick some ass myself by just sitting at home" and no he didn't make a website or invented google. Our hero here had a lovely vision and created a college called VEC ; vellore engineering college, as early in 1984, he thought if the manipal jerks can create a college as early in the fifties then why can't I?

so we had our protagonist and this famous college; since back then people had this craze to save money by joining government engineering college, or joining mundane BSc courses otherwise he tried to give incentives to students by creating a girls hostel nears the "not-so-fair-sex's-den"

imagine our sex-deprived indian male's (" SDIM ") reaction ;

the conversations would've probably been something like this

sdim1: hey dude, i got 34 rank in TNCET, i'm joining VEC :)

sdim2: dude , Wat the Fudge ?? you can get into regional engineering college trichy da, that too into branch like electrical

sdim1: no dude, VEC has the chick's hostel near mine , imagine all the babes i gonna bump into

and so he had a perfect strategy and guys came by in hundreds, and so did a few gals too...

so far so good... our g.vishwa dude was having a great time, nice money, good reputation (he became the chancellor; obviously), popular stud he was , when one day He was listening to pink floyd and got all psycedelic. He realized that running a college was no fun.You never had the chance to kick some ass as frequently as you did back there in politics. He felt he had been duped by fate. it was as if dsetiny was making fun of him. And then in a fit of anger he changed the destiny of thousands of students and screwed them in one single shot. (told ya earlier the was a smart guy) He stole the guys most prized possesion.He built a gal's hostel on the other side of the train line. And people were helpless.By then VEC had become VIT and later as you know it, VITU. People were flocking the college in thousands. Now a days about 1 lakh people sit for VITEEE. So no one protested.or those who did were snubbed bad. Double kickass as he calls it.so that was it. the dude had his cake and ate it too (with sambar and rasam) But even today the rail roads dividing VIT men's hostel and rest of the campus remain a grim remainder of good times back then and to the grave injustice done to the thousands of deprive mortals with XY chromosome.(men)

ok people my story ends here... for more reference and to add credibility to this heart rendering event do check in these websites, and the dark brown line in the above mentioned google snapshot :)

ps: To all those people who are non secular and firmly believe that indian cricket should be made our national religion, don't get too pissed off with symond and buckner, they are just supporting the fact that Gay marriage should be legalized in Australia. hence this mutual display of affection in as public a place as the stadiun

and to bhajji 'chak de"

knocking on exams doors

क्या यार ये चीज़ तो ज़बरदस्त है । बिल्कुल fundoo ..
Hi there people ,
just trying to check into this stuff of writing in hindi..sounds fun n seems so too..Anyway sorry for rambling on... Just checked out "tare zameen par" nice movie there.. Finally Aamir has kept up with his promise for delivering a good movie after 2 year of making "rang de basanti". Like the previous movie I guess most of us find it easy to relate to this one too .While the previous one was so "analogous" to a typical college guy's lifestyle of boozing, fagging ,movies n 'chicks' watching, this is takes me back to the nostalgic school days; where every mark counted for the nerdy ones like me (when i consider my self the nerdy one it's actually past tense) where a single mistake in subjects like maths & science was not spared.

this is probably the place where i'm happily blogging away

Coming back to the present well it's not even one month and VIT has already the dates of our 1st internal exam out (CAM 1 they call it, actually it's an acronym for Continious Acessment Examination which as common sense say should be shortened to CAE, but VIT academic Morons choose otherwise :) jus kidding, don't debarr me pls academic godfathers!! ) Nothing new in it though it just re-confirmed my belief that the academic department people here are die-hard sadists, (which to be really honest is 89% applicable for almost all the staff members ); they just can't tolerate people enjoying.
Ok then enough of writing today people... I just can't think much beyond changing colours n writing crap... Damn i shoud stop smoking any stuff with green leaves in it

Hi there people, well this is my 1st blog so i realy got no clues on what 2 brag about endlessly... just that i love writing,, n let me tell you more about me, i study in VIT (for the greater mortals its vellore institute of technology University) psst: why they named it "technology university" still remains a mystery to me... it's funny just like BITS pilani created a branch out in Hyderabad n found it witty to name it "BITS Pilani-Hyderabad" maybe i guess smart Alecs' in the Administrative department didn't've much 2 do n they decided to hold a interdepartment contest about RENAMING the college with a more moronic name :) anyway so much about being sarcastic about my college .... hey've you ever thought about this?? why are certain things called as "unsolved mystery" ?? I mean if they were solved would they remain mystery after all?? just kidding..... :) sorry 4 that pj.. i love prancing around myself and all that my mind ever thinks of is pranks n porn... just like every other engineering GUY my day starts with playing AOE or conterstrike over the lan, orkutting,sending and receiving SMSs, listening to music, watching pirated movies on sum1's computer n calculating my attendance and ends up sleepin till lunch.. so much 4 the 1st blog... watch out this column 4 more
