Strike 1 ..strike 2 ..strike 3

Strike three was that he was born under the astrological sign of cancer. Strike two was that he didn't play the guitar. But what was strike one? In baseball, you have three strikes and you're out. They wanted to play the game that way, but could never seem to never figure it out.

Now there was this friend of mine who ws telling me abt his luv story sm time back..
He met this girl smtime back..at first sight she looked like a young muslim girl,since she ws wearing a black dress and her head ws covered...she had big ,beautiful eyes..bt as she said out her name in the class, she was a hindu girl..
anyways lots of classes pass by and my friend has probably just said a couple of hellos...then they actually hav a bet about a tennis match (Djokovich vs federer match)..which he loses and she wins..they meet and while chatting up they discover that they both liked a movie of amanda peet..(Sm random movie..I will have to check on him//)
Then begins their romantic tryst of identifying who ws the first to hit on the other..and the funda was called "striking on the other" from the movie..
They guy said it ws the moment they bet..
the girl then said," no".. it ws her since she decided the venue of their date..
then the guy said it ws him since the girl had mentioned tht she liked driving and the my friend just to get her attention said that even he did.(I know how badly he had driven till that day)..
they kept fighting until it ws decided that the girl struck him first with her black dress..
and that is where my friend accepted his defeat ;)..
I thought it ws a pretty cute beginning..newayz if i come across the name of the movie I will put it up here..

Sledgin

Today an article came about the way aussies sledge et al.
i found an interesting link to see..
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/05/16/1052885405496.html
below are the excerpts frm it:
McGrath v Sarwan ... how it happened
". . . if we meet, we shall not 'scape a brawl; for now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring." Benvolio, Romeo and Juliet. The fourth Test between Australia and the West Indies certainly had its share of Shakespearean moments - the drama of a record second-innings run chase, the colour of the Antiguan crowd, the tension of the on-field confrontations.
The fourth day proved most eventful. The West Indian vice-captain, 21-year-old Ramnaresh Sarwan, was steering his side towards a second-innings total of 417; one that would save them from the indignity of a 4-0 Test series whitewash.
At the other end, fast bowler Glenn McGrath was desperately trying to turn the game Australia's way. But having been belted for 21 runs in two overs, McGrath could contain himself no longer, and resorted to an unoriginal, homophobic-themed sledge, with Sarwan replying with an equally cliched retort relating to his rival's wife.
McGrath to Sarwan: "What does Brian Lara's ---- taste like?"
Sarwan replied: "I don't know, ask your wife."
McGrath began to walk away before turning back and heading to within a foot of Sarwan, screaming: "If you ever f------ mention my wife again, I'll f------ rip your f------ throat out."
McGrath complained to umpire David Shepherd that Sarwan had referred to his wife Jane (who is having treatment for cancer).
Sledging folklore
"It's round, it's red and it's got six stitches in it." - English county bowler to West Indian Viv Richards after he had played and missed several times.
"Hey man. You know what it looks like - go fetch it." - Richards in reply, after hitting the next ball to the fence.
"Why are you so fat?" - Glenn McGrath to Zimbabwean Eddo Brandes.
"Because every time I #&$!@ your wife, she gives me a biscuit." - Brandes's reply.
"You don't get a runner for being an overweight, unfit, fat #$&!%." - Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy after Sri Lankan captain Arjuna Ranatunga asked for a runner during a one-day match.
"Can't bowl, can't throw." - Nine network cameraman Joe Previtera after a wayward return by Australian bowler Scott Muller. Originally attributed to Shane Warne.
"We don't want you here, get out of my ground!" - Yorkshire bowler Steve Kirby to Steve Waugh in an English county match.
"No, I won't, this is my favourite pitch. And who are you, the *#@%& mayor?" - Waugh's reply.
"The cheque's in the mail." - An SCG spectator to Pakistan's Salim Malik after he was dismissed in the final Test match of the 1995 series. Malik had made a comeback after being embroiled in a match-fixing scandal.
"These people have not come to watch you bowl. They have come to watch me bat." - England's W. G. Grace, reportedly by way of explanation for his refusal to leave the crease when dismissed.
"No need to sledge me. I've been sledged more times than you've had pisses." - India's Sunil Gavaskar replying to a Simon O'Donnell sledge.

Applicant form for Pakistan PM aspirant


This is taken frm today's Hindu..and I think is relevant (and cliche'd ) to every country's context..

the form asks applicant to chose from a list of reasons for applying :"to escape court trial;to make more money;to grossly misuse power;to serve the people[if u choose this ,attach certificate of sanity from a recognised,very well-known psychiatrist];don't know"


p.s.:more questions are welcome and u will get my vote if u stand for the PM's vote;)

Tata vs Ambanis

A couple of weekz back,CNN pe ppl said tht ambani brothers are the richest family in world...
Are they icons ? Was the question they were asking..
In my opinion.. i never like reliance group, that grp symbolises greed to me.. they've twisted every law to get to top and make money.. and never gave back to the society from which they make money
now in contrast see tatas
dhirubhai will never attain the stature of JRD.. because he never took the social responsibility
and dhirubhai's kids.. will never attain the stature of their father..
tatas.. gave back to the society.. see TIFR, IISc.. and many more instis..
ambani opened one coll where they charge..close to 1lac pa.. so much for social responsibility
newayz another article came in Business World's editorial this week tht reliance is gud .becoz progress cant be made without manipulation and blah blah..bt I still am not convinced abt the fact ..
wat we could say was tht there is a lot of reliance on Tata for social upliftment..
will smbody help me???

Indo-Pak FIX(ed)ture

Now u may call me a sceptic or a non-indian fr saying all this and i will draw a lot of flak frm every1 mayb ...bt i think tht yesterday's match ws pure sensationalization and a mockery of th gentleman's game..it ws to feed the 24-hr channels and the coffers of the cricketers and all those involved in the hoopla of the game..the way it went down the wire to the last ball and the way misbah got out reflects this..actually the way every1 gt out...frm afridi to yuvi to dhoni to younus khan to shoaib malik..even the pakis(including the coach) dint look tht unhappy since a lot of money awaits them for losing to India..Afridi and Yuvraj represent the backbone of the young Pak and Indian teams so it ws necessary to give them also a share..afridi got a man of the series and yuvi got a porsche and lods of money..It ws jst wt ws needed to reinstigate the lost appetite for cricket and in the wake of the upcoming series against australia and Pakistan...I jst rediscovered tht we jst dont hav ne role in the world rite now:)

12:27 AM me: match dyaan nahi tha kya tujhe jo so raha tha???/////!!!!!!
mayank: abe main nahi dekhta match wagerah
12:28 AM me: mein bhi chod chuka tha..bt englans series ese fir dekhan shuru kar diya
mayank: i'm of the opinion that most matches are fixed
me: ye to definitely fixed tha..and even the semis
so tht india and pak mile...bahut paise mile honge...nz aur australia ko haarne ke liye
and then aaj pakis ko haarne ke liye bahut zyada
specially malik and afridi...
mayank: yeah afridi
mera bhi yahi manana hai
aur india aur pak ka bowl out wala match
toh 101% fix tha
me:defintely
yaar wc ke baad viewrshi gt screwed..
to isko waapis upar karne ke liye..kuch karna zaruri tha\
mayank:aaj toh we were talking ki pak ka coach toh security camera ke aage soya hoga..
me: interest doob gaya tha...india ko jeetana zaruri tha....
kyon???
mayank: nahi toh iss sale ko bhi pahle wali ki tarah maar dalenge

Meow 104.8 FM


Now this is not a eilogue to my previous Cat related blog..

an avid radio listener(in patches so to say),I am a big fan of Vandy frm the "just for you" fame on FM rainbow..It used to be a must listen for me every afternoon after coming from school in the heydayz..bt fter comin to coll i hvnt followed it much ..only on holidayz do i get the time to listen to all those familiar pseudonyms on it.

newayzz globalization has hit radio too with a spurt of fm channels coming along..

Recently I happened to hear Meoww..its insanely stupid in its content and asks every new caller to say meow in the strt and in the end..and the person conducting this is (I'm sure) all happy and Gay.Like last night he was asking all the girls 5 things they want in their guyz...and believe me all the girls completely bedazzled me..I wish their wishes are fulfilled as done in Bedazzled by Liz Hurley;) or they will have to marry five guys to get all these qualities like Panchali and get to be called a Sl**..Believe me all the qualities are highly unrealistic and they should realize tht they are not tht perfect to deserve so much..Waise I am thinking of calling them up as a girl and sayin that i need a guy who can wash clothes,make food,clean the home,make money and.....I think I am getting a little to anti-feminist so I will let you judge.Infact I will end with Meow

I see

I read this story (frm Allan Pease's book)about how we donot see wat we can see.
And i thought tht i mst share it with ya.

Two men were walking through the woods when they came
across a big deep hole.
'Wow ... that looks deep,' says one. 'Let's toss a few pebbles
in and see how deep it is.'
They threw in a few pebbles and waited, but there was no
sound.
'Gee - that is a really deep hole. Let's throw one of these
big rocks in. That should make a noise.'
They picked up two football-sized rocks and tossed them
into the hole and waited, but still they heard nothing.
'There's a railway sleeper over here in the weeds,' said one.
'If we toss that in, it's definitely going to make some noise.'
They dragged the heavy sleeper over to the hole and heaved it
in, but not a sound came from the hole.
Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appeared,
running like the wind. It rushed towards the two men and ran
right between them, running as fast as its legs could go. Then
it leaped into the air and disappeared into the hole. The two
men stood there, astonished at what they'd just seen.
Out of the woods came a farmer who said, 'Hey! Did you
guys see my goat?'
'You bet we did! It was the craziest thing we've ever seen! It
came running like the wind out of the woods and jumped
into that hole!'
'Nah,' says the farmer. 'That couldn't have been my goat.
My goat was chained to a railway sleeper!'

Pop Goes My Heart

The pic "Bride "is by Marc Chagall and was shown in "Notting Hill" and it "depicts a yearning for something that's lost"


Now wat it really depicts is difficult to tell.

Does it mean that the bride is remembering that she loved smone else during her wedding..or is it that the guy remembers his love for the girl wen she is getting married??Or could it be that the guy who is playing the violin loves her,while the Bride is thinking about her lost love who is coming in her dreams now.

The picture also depicts the perfect situation when many guys are after the same girl..like in there's something about mary or even its Bollywood version:))I think Paresh Rawal would be the goat(He had a dog like name in the movie).And the girl is dreaming about Shahid Kapoor..while the notorious Suniel shetty have been caught in their own nets like a fish.And Akshay is like a mouse/rabbit at her feet.

The picture actually reminds me how the europeans have a niche for making all artist wrk seem like real art i.e. all the paintings in their museum be it of the slaves or of george 1,2,3,4,5,....which i hav no bloody idea,who the hell are they..it seems like perennial narcissism with themselves and their own civilization.They yearn to immortalize their own culture.But it does hold one lesson for us and that is that we should probably do the same for our monuments..
Now whats it about POP..

I love pop music.It keeps us in good spirits.And is not for frustated ppl who only like rock.You dont hav to do much to be a female popstar .Only a good face/nice curves would do.Else as my friend sayz "Curse of curves ..It follows where the Money is"With nice curves ,you can get all the money.


I love popcorn.It is the best thing to have happened to mankind.The sound and the Taste are awesome.Now those who have tasted Caramel Popcorn would yearn for even more of it.

And then wen u see sm nice chick ,Pop goes ones heart out.

Bt the only place where i donot understand Pop is in the song POP by NSync.You only can like the sort of lip noise made by timberlake.Bt the rest of the song is crap.Infact it figured in the VH1's poll of the songs which make little sense.Its like the song Hello by Lionel richie,which ppl say is romantic..Bt it is more of stalking..and the poor girl is blind so its harsh for her.



p.s.: The title has been taken from the OST's of the movie"Music and Lyrics"

Profiles

Now this is not meant in general to any specific person..But it should be read by all those who practise this or hate this..
I think that ppl shud actually put atleast their real names on orkut profiles and not some thing like what is really going on in your real lives..or even those stupid ones like "album updated ___name"(this 1 i really hate).It really gets bogging when one has to look at every profile in ones friends' list to see the person since the change of name has taken place.
a)I want that atleast the full name or even the first name should be minimum there in one's profile name.
b)Stop telling about the profile/album updates to every1 in the world..go get a life loser..no one wants to check ur profile..
c)Waise to i really am a fan of PDA's(public display of affections)..But i really mean it on the streets and in the subway and in the theatres..and not really on orkut..specially wen ppl put up their names as "I miss ya /i luv ya..blah blah blah.."

Now one thing which has really caught up between me and sm like minded friends(Actually i acquired this frm others and now sm others hav taken a cue frm me)..is to keep your scrap book clean(reduce them in number drastically) or infact clear of all the scraps.It just puts ur private life into public display..Waise it doesnt really matter to me if it gets public and there is nothing which isnt public abt me..bt i still wud like to say that i want my privacy at sm places..

Final Dayzzzz

Well the college has strted again..and I am happy that it finally did..Finally the final year..after the pseudo-final one (For dualites like me this is a nuisance ).Its nice to go to college once in a while..though u dont see many old faces since most who came along with me have left us.But I will get to see some one last time for sure this weekend at the convocation.


Its a lonely place these days since there are very few left amongst my species.And as usual the friends or the old good friends which seems a better word to describe them are the ones to spend the time with.what with all the ego tussles and misunderstandings here and there ..and losing sight of the others who cared either since u got really busy or the sense of direction just changed..or things just change..and nothing concrete is left to talk..And the emptiness in the hostel jst sinks in..As sm1 aptly put it for me "Its like being alone in a crowded room".Everyone talks about smthing bt u cant really relate to it.or any of it really..people smoking/drinking and socializing on the basis of it only.Bt its an adult choice besides it looked cool to me wen i was a child ..so i really cant blame them for picking it up..its just the style associated with it..
But change isnt necessarily bad..it can be good also.we jst resist it for the sake of our comfort and do not think of the endless possibilties it brings along with it.
Waise there is some hope wen u see those bright young freshers coming in..and seeing how their mothers really care for them("hai mera baccha ..kaise rahega yaha ..khana waana theek hai ki nahi..meri aakho ka tara..hostel to dekho kitna ganda hai..room saaf karte hai ..ya khud karne hote hai" and blah blah balh)..and its very awkward wen sm parents jst barge into the rooms withouth even knockin..its even more embarassing if its their mother..in a boyz hostel..give us a break..
5th year does bring its headaches though..bt we have so much time to handle them..that we long fr such headaches..The biggest of them all is we hav to learn how to kill time really..i hope i can meet this guy "Time" like in alice in wonderland the fat queen ordered to kill time..:))..or if it looked like the bodyless guru with only the borders there as in "Samay" of mahabharta..i will hav tough time to kill it..since my knife would go through him.. So i will be killing time in trying to kill time..Huh..
What with just 1 hr of monotonous drousy class everyday.But this mite be the first time that I will be actually awake through my classes for a change since all are late inthe afternoon..With many evictions and classroom embarrassments to my pathetic classroom record..This will be the golden period..
Another lost habit is checkin orkut conversations of other ppl..bt fr past sm time i hav been tryin to put up a show that i hav smthing in my life and i don reallly need orkut and stuff ..and i hav wrtiten also that orkut is a loser activity..so if i do it i will be contradicitng myself...well i hav done reasonably well in reducing my orkut usage and cheking conversations stuff to almost null..bt i still havnt got the hang of wat to do really in the now expanded vella time of mine..
So wat can one really do..prepare for cat..it is tough to study..and now in 5th year ..will be tough to talk me into it..bt as the peer pressure goes.mortals like me give in and screw money in all the coaching classes..
Hope as we know comes in various forms ..just wen u think that there are no girls here in the college(99% of girls are beautiful ..rest are in my coll)..u get the hang of all the babes that land up for the fashion courses(nift) at coaching..and also some for mba..and the only reason u can give for screwing ur mocks is tht ur attention gets diverted by seeing a new wave of girls at the test centres.only the last tiime there was one who ws amazingly cute..jst like "the wonder years" girl..Winnie Cooper..same face..same innocence..same eyes ..and just the same smile..the world stops as she speaks..like flowers flowing out of her mouth..and her hair flowing but a little out of place..and i made the (good) mistake if sitting on the same desk as hers..any guesses if i would like to screw another paper:)

Well this weekend there is a break from the mocks.so wil be seeing her next weekend only.
Besides ther are more things to do:: the final year project ...well well well ther is also our college fest to look forward to .hopefully this being my last time would be a gud one..and the only time wen chicks frm all of india come here to give a heart-flu.

Single and ready to Fumble

Now what do people do when they are single(or get single again)..
They either go to useless parties trying to hit on girls..like friendship day parties being held tomorrow:))
Or they get drunk..
or they just accept the fact tht this really cant be helped...and get really irritated wen ppl keep nagging them to tell how their gfs are and u dont really hav any smart answer to counter them..And the only comfort comes wen sm1 convinces u tht being single is cool and it takes of a lot of headache and heartache..Though we can really recount "shaadi na kare to bhi pachtaye aur kare to bhi"..so in tht sense its gud to be not single..
Then the drunk part can also explain the situations we see in the english movies where the single person goes ..and like a loser vents out his frustration in the bar.And then a girl gets senti ..and they both fumble.(*This incident is directly taken frm the hit series "Friends")

CAT MOCKS


Now I could start of by writing about the cat mocks which I am screwing these dayz. But I will not harp on it
Consider this:Which animal do we least fear or is most close to us?
It is certainly not a dog because we tend to chain it and most of us actually fear its larger mates like the German shepherd or other breeds.Given that it protects us in case of theft to a certain extent and it is also useful in case of many hindi movies where it leaps and saves someone like in MAA.Then it is also useful in milaoing the broken hearts like in Hum Aapke Hai Kaun.Though I do hate its street version and actually think that pet animals look best in the neighbor's house.

Then some people have rats.We generally do not find them in the Indian context but we do find them like in "Home alone "series.We also love its role in Mouse hunt when it enters the restricted areas in the women's clothing;).But we do not like it to see our clothes in tatters because it was bit by some lousy rodent and so we adopt ways like the mouse-trap,cats,poison balls,et al.

But the most harmless of all animal is The Cat.We can leave it where ever it can be in the house.There is no need of a leash and it also cleans the home of the unhealthy rodents.
It is ironic that it is the member of the fearsome lion's family.It only drinks milk.So ,it is not a white elephant for us in terms of expenditure.

So please give me best of luck for CAT.

p.s.-This pic is the symbol of an old time cabaret which was closed out .Is is said you could rub shoulders with the most famous men of that time if you happened to be there when it used to exist.

What I have done


Oh you have to watch the movie "Xformers".I watched a downloaded version and am impressed.I will admit that I had never heard about its animation series So there wasn't any real baggage involved either side of the coin.But this one rocks.The plot moves fast and the way the gadgets change :the speed and the style is simply Awe-wait for it-Some.and it just overwhelmed me and everyone else! There was never a dull moment, the acting was first-rate and the seamlessness of the Computer Generated Imagery and live action was taken to another level.The plot is similar to the terminator series but the effects are much much better.When I first saw its trailor I thought that it would be like t-3 (just plain fight and nothing more),but the real movie has got me addicted.
The coolest one is one in which the fighter plane is going to land and it changes it shapes during the landing which is just so perfect and stylish.
Plus they have plugged in two hot girls and the plot looks so complete.
Lastly the the title is so chosen since the title track of the movie is this Linkin Park single.

James Blunt de-briefed


I could not resist telling you about
http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/James_Blunt
After this please dont form an opinion about me .I have no feelings for Blunt and I do not intend to hurt his feelings too.I still like his music just that this is a different way to see his music.
I just want to tell that please do not go deep into his music,you will drown.See he is jumping in too.

James Blunt


Ok..now why i chose the topc as James blunt is because I've been listening to "you are beautiful" all day..and it describes my mood for the day.In slumber ,waiting for smthing to happen and extremely listless.It also describes the weather these days, of passing by clouds and not raining.It reminds me of the story I read wen i was young"Love across the salt desert" by "Daruwalla".It was about how there was draught in a village and and the guy goes across the desert and gets his love of life frm across the border like the J.P.Dutta movie "Refugee".Daruwalla describes the girl with such finesse like connoisseurs of women with the description of her voice as tinker bells and her hair that of black clouds.Kareena Kapoor doesnt do justice to the description because one sees her more as a sl*t.
Now I also happen to read the story about james blunt and was surprised to know that he was in the peace keeping forces in kosovo.So being in the bloodiest of civil wars there is always which comes out good.In this case it was his music. Infact it is often said that the best art ,music movie or any piece which beats them all comes wen the head is clear.It comes from the places where people witness civil wars,where there is less of technology and people have a lot of time to think by themselves and think blank probably.Day-dreaming is something which can only happen when one is away from television ,pc,cellphone .A time will come when new ideas will be boring but since the level of the intellect with respect to such things will deteriorate so people will find whatever that exists as good.
Mayb when a nuclear attack will happen everything will be alright and everyone will forget technology for good.
I wish to witness that someday..I do not want to see robots all around me and serving me.And me being lethargic to even press the button.

Spooky Mulder or spooky Shivam

There are good dreams and then there are bad dreams..there are sugar dreams and there are not so sugar dreams..there are normal dreams and not so normal(paranormal).

lets strt off with good and bad dreams ..now anything i say will be cliched.so i will shut up on tht

sugar dreams are those in which u dream abt the girl of ur dreams//mayb the school crush ..or the girl u met in those last days of school:)

then there are non sugar dreams..like smtimes i get infact many times smtimes.I had one a recurring one in which my karate sir is chasing me as a werewolf.I am running and scampering for my life.Then I smhow manage to get apst a door in a shop and lock myself up.Bt the scratches by the werewolf on the door keep scaring me.Now I hav this funny habit tht i know what i am dreaming of so i actually try to control them i.e. my dream abt the karate sir always end at this point where i hear the scratches on the door..
similarly its almost like whenever i am going to die in my dreams or hav the sword hanging by my head ,I jump to the next dream.
A few dayz back I ws going frm my hostel to the hostel gate of college at arnd 10 am.Then the skies became dark and the clouds were staring at me in weird shapes of sm kind of faces as if trying to tell me smthing like a omen or smthing.As i was approaching the hostel gate the person who ws going alongside me got scared since he cudnt see the faces bt ws scared of the weather sinceit hd turned really stormy.Then as i reached the gate the wind try to blow me away it ws a real big storm.I smhow held on to a a pole on the grnd.and I ws lying down facing the winds.I was thinking I would be blown away and smashed to pieces bt then I kept holding on.Then though I woke up like my funny habit so I dont know the end.
There are normal dreams then which we dream of regularly and their are paranormal dreams.
I would say tht I hav alsways been scared of ghosts.Even during my childhood wen i used to watch such movies (in broad daylight),it used to scare me off.My siister sititng besides me would keep on laughing .I dont know on me or the ghosts:)Bt nowadayz I am not scared of them since i adopted the approach of laughing at them long time back so the it held back my fear(it used to be more of a show then bt now I dont get scared)Past sm time I hav been hooked to supernatural series and x-Files so I hav developed a good bit of interest in it.I wouldnt mind being called spooky shivam like the x-files protagonist;)
I do get spooky dreams bt they are harmless since they are really manifestations of my mind ,actually manipulations of the supernatural series.So I almost always solve the cases in them.
I really like people who remember their dreams a lot ,becoz it tels a lot abt their subconscious thought.

The Wats Up syndrome

The one thing that dipleases me on orkut and another friend(to-shit) of mine is wen sm lame guy asks you wassup?


I know loads hav been written about it and loads will be writtten time and again.


Its just a race to ask the other person wassup?


wen u use IM then i actually race with the person i am chatting with to write "wassup" or the still shorter version "ssup".It gives me such a feeling of relief that atleast i am one up with the person.


and coming back to the orkut chats,it strts with hi wassup


then the other person replies ..wahi normal life..nothing special..or watching movies ..passing time..or vellying out..and the best thing to say is "yaar papers chal rahe hai .so kinda busyy.."(this onei designed with toshit..we constantly poke fun at the ssup type of ppl)the last one actually persuades the other person to stop bothering you with stupid wassup..and actually come to the point(which is generally not htere..)..
and then the other gives sm other lameduck answers..and then a sweet little bye..

I actually got a brilliant idea wen sunita williams came back and monsoons arrived in Mumbai

u can actually reply"I dont think much is up..bt everything is coming down for sure..sunita williams came down..rain is pouring downn ..and the indian team is forever down:D"

though even i border smtimes on this kinda of personality(my 2000 smthing scraps are a testimony to tht).bt It has dawned upon me tht i shud get a life..(p.s. :no puns intended.there was a lovely article about secondlife.com in MINT this saturday)


Now this one a a lil cliched and everyone knows abt it ..bt i stil hav to mention it .
The picture describes my feelong completely.And many like me hav encountered it;).

St. Valentine's day Massacre

If u want to see how guys are massacred on St. Valentine's day or any other day as a matter of fact,you should try visiting IITDelhi these days..You know you can leave me out..I hav much mnore to do on V-day than jst celebrating it.Like I had to enlighten u on the prospects u hav if u come to iitdelhi..
And every year around 5000 mortals like me are added to this list of massacrees(if that term exist) by an instituion started by Nehru.I think this should be banned because it is lambasting the lives of the brightest student.Its actually a part of a conspiracy by the indian government, so that their intellectual level are not challenged and neither their authority.Its the same as saying that they allow people to make several attempts just so that their youth and their energy are not vent ed against the government but wasted in exams like these.
People keep trying for years together to get into the perfect institute ,like ICS,IAS,CAT,IIT..et al .Given that everyone has the right to choose their life ,but we should also understand the fact how they are ruining our young lives.Infact ,recently IIT authorities have tried to clamp down even more on us by raising the heights of the gate from which we used to enter in late.Its almost as if we are living in Tihar Jail or something.
But continuing on a lighter note ,If you do visit the massacre campus..you will realise the opportunities that exist ...and the perfect guy vich parents seek for ya is here ..Ladka smajhdhar hai .paise kamata hai..aur buri aadtein bhi nahi hai(you can negotiate on the last one)..
But looking at the way the placements go..and how people keep crying after it ..it seems that no one is satisfied vid the money they get in their on job..and get jealous with other people's money minting jobs(The other side greener syndrome)
I think I suffer from this syndrome too..but its actually in the case of how short my blog is unlike my friends who write pretty long one..so I vil hav a go at a longer one next time..
