bored out of doing nothing-part II

A 24 hours first hand story of a final semester "single" VITian male suffering from "project semester" syndrome

I wake up at 7:00 am, it’s too early according to engineering standards, I agree but after sleeping at nine the previous day even sleeping seems a monotonous task. I have my breakfast amidst the relatively calm atmosphere of north Indian vegetarian mess, which is generally crowded in morning with hungry people with groggy and puffy eyes due to either over sleeping or night outs watching movies or playing DOTA, Counter Strike or FIFA over the LAN. I get back to room and wait patiently for the newspaper guy to deliver the newspaper so that I can while away another hour or so. With no fixed agenda to while away the time between newspaper browsing and lunch I read a few pages of novel or take a short shower. Finally the mess opens again for lunch, I have my lunch and move to the campus then while away some more time before snacks. I surf the net a bit in the lab, frankly there’s not much to browse as orkut and g talk are banned. Finally bored I move to library to read a few more magazines or to pick up a book to kill some more time at my room. After what seems like ages its 5 o’clock. 5 o’clock is a heaven on otherwise dry campus life out here in VIT. It’s a time when classes come to an end and couples and potentially single females roam around in the campus encouraging singles like us to loiter around braving the hot sun. Finally the day comes to an end and I move to mess again to have my last meal of the day. By the time I reach room one of my roommates is smart enough to get a movie or an episode of roadies or big bang theory or even sa-re-ga-ma-pa to while away the time till mid night. Finally another day comes to an end and I think of new ways to kill the next day lying on the bed.

P.S- if it’s Saturday we watch a movie in hall for a change

Believe me friends it’s tougher doing nothing than pretending to be busy doing something

Political rhetorics and cheap gimmicks

Hiya,
Election is just round the corner for a change.(generally it's always exams round the corner!!) So as an average Indian citizen its hilarious to read snippets the daily newspaper, and no I'm not talking about the comic section. Take a look at the recent ignited minds of Indian Political Parties coming up with innovative election manifesto (after probably weeks of brainstorming i guess):

Samajwadi Party vows to do away with Machines, computers and abolish English: (stunned ? read on)


samajwadi party, a party that describes itself as a democratic socialist party claimed that if a new government were to be formed with Samajwadi party's support it'd advocate for the following changes:

1.Abolish use of English in education and schools providing "expensive educations"

2.Scrap use of computer in new projects.

3. Ban the use of mechanized farming, that includes harvesters, tractors.

All the above moves are supposedly done to provide employment to millions of labourers and generate jobs.


And Mulayam Singh Yadav's UP legislative assembly claims he has done his M.A, B.T from Agra University, Agra (Uttar Pradesh) (for credentials check here --> http://uplegassembly.nic.in/mulayamsinghyadav.html)

i don't think this post needs much to comment. But it's hilarious :)

Pictionary

Happy New year folks!!

Ok this post is pretty late but i had thought about it really long back, and i was dying to do some serious goofing up...

Q: So wat do u make out of this picture?

(hint: himesh reshmiya)

hint: latest movie (2008 release actually)

hint: latest craze among rikshawwallah and autowallah

ok ok:

Ans: tandoori knights !!

*super sarcastic mode on*

ok Himesh Reshmiya u deserve a GPL for this, i mean dude (wtf!!) i mean at one point of time i could really empathise with u, not appreciate you, but appreciate the fact that you worked hard for your roti-kapda-makaan-hairstyle. In fact when you shouted superb mindblowing fantastic history day in and day out in Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa, i could still wince through your limited vocabulary.When u started singing your own songs i could still bear with it, but now seriously dude, Tandoori nights, really? (think about it!)And the more important question, what next dude, what next?Are u gonna shell out songs with Catchy lyrics like:

rava dosa days?

masala papad dawn??

sahi paneer afternoon???

dehati chicken dawn?

did u take the "love him or hate him u can't avoid himesh reshmiya" thing too seriously?

i mean why the f*** should i listen to your tandoori nights rather than pritam's shamelessly plagarised songs?

come on man, get over it... make something that makes sense, and happy new year to you too.. (no grudges, just a suggestion !!)

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
