On Weekends

I was discussing this with my friend yesterday evening how Sundays are real bad. Traditional thinking has it that Sunday is a laze day, so one should like it. But as soon as Sunday comes, person like me and my friend keep dreading the upcoming Monday. At the back of mind, one always knows that the following day is the start of another boring week of life. This really fizzles out any remnant of energy one might have for enjoying it.

For this reason, we have started hating Saturdays as well, for the next day is a Sunday. But there is a an upside effect to it as well….the whole Saturday morning and day, I dread Sundays but on Saturday nights – with going out and stuff, I know that the next day is not Monday…but all in all, Saturday to me doesn’t remain what a Saturday should be.

To that effect, I have started loving Fridays. It’s the end of the week, and the next day is Saturday – which is tolerable. And Monday seems soooo far off !!

PS: might have to work this Saturday L so much so for Friday nights <sigh>

PS2: don’t think I would like to love Mumbai….although begin appreciating it for the female empowerment I see all around (and the cute girls, of course )

PS3: Sreesanth is an ass*%^% for trying to bully hayden….truly he is an overrated, super-sucking appam chu**** (for reference, see fakeiplplayer blog)

PS4: America is an ass*#$% for trying to interfere in Kashmir….let them mind their own middle east bashing ways and keep shut over our internal issues.

 

Self-Congratulatory Hell

I should have been studying….but the sudden idea of a random post on a blog i am sorry to have had almost given up on, inspired me

It goes without any rhyme or logic that this shall be another feather in my cap as far as arbit, random posts go. Not that I really care…..since I stopped thinking…. back when Princess Diana died (yes, she was madly in love with me, and I owe it to her to never think again)

Naah…..sad…….. although I wish that were true – would have explained my loneliness on a valentine’s day eve and my subsequent frustration thereof. But, as they say, nothing plans as happened (or is it the other way round….really those novels on time traveling ain’t helping) and I’m stuck here while P.D. is probably sipping an exotic drink somewhere in heaven or hell

Anyways, I have thought of dedicating this blog to all the valentine-less junta around the world. People who have waited too long for perfection, people who have never settled for mediocrity, people who still think self-improvement is better than self-destruction (for the hidden symbolism, see fight club again) – may your depraved souls enjoy the hells of St. Peters’ (or whoever he was) day and u sit alone in a dusted room punching keys after keys on your laptop trying to inflict your miseries upon the sorry world.

Am sorry, I started thinking aloud there. But a man’s got to think while he’s not eating <sigh>

PS1: am experimenting with different genres of music – black metal, death metal

PS2: surprisingly, i am beggining to really like both of them

PS3: i should have been studying

PS4: i should have been studying

PS5: Mahabharata still rocks…

PS6: dexter is way too coooooool…waiting for another season

PS7: i should have been studying <sigh>

The return of randomness

I have returned from a self-imposed exile of 2 months or so……..(or has it been more, i dont remember )

Lots of things have happened during this period: our neighborhood cat gave birth to two kittens (we are still investigating who the dad is) , cricket being played after oh so many years and personally, a gradual foray into drinking activities (although not that heavily, for fear of puking exists) This is of course apart from the so-so summers process and a not-so-good term 2.

Although I did learn some great things :

a) you can download 4 seasons of just shoot me in 2 weeks but can see them all in 2 days

b) i can watch a max of 7 movies in a single days……although with great degree of discomfort, i can stretch that to 9

c) your desire to watch a movie is inversely proportional to its availability in your immediate envoirnment

d) Flop Show by Jaspal Bhatti still rocks…….

PS: no PSes this time……..i am still overcoming boredom

Questions People Ask

Ever since the day of my joining at IIM Cal, I have been asked a volley of questions – question i have been answering in a diplomatic, far unconnected-to-me manner.
If given the choice, I would like to answer in a slightly more interesting way. following is a sample of my “ideal world” responses

Q. Hey, How have u been ?
A. Not that I was doing great but My disinterest in life has been further increased by ur questioning. Thanks so much

Q. Hows IIM Cal treating u ?
A. How can a place possibly “treat” me. I am not used to taking treats from places or non-living objects of any kind. If I had any such tendency it wd have been characterized as Schizophrenia (not that there’s anything wrong with it)

Q. You must be getting sleepless nights ?
A. Yes, people here are known for their cruelty towards sleep. We can hang you for sleeping (pun intended)

Q. It must be great to study in an IIM ?
A. No, it feels awful…….I know they are the best places to study in India but somehow I hate institutions which are the best in their disciplines.

Q. So, what else ?

A. Apart from your troubling me, nothing much. I had some happiness before the start of this conversation……unable to get access to it anymore.

Then there are others, who despite having gone through the trouble of opening my profile and scrapping something horrendous like “Where r u these days ?”  cannot bother to look into my professional tab.

Inspite of spending about 25 hours a day on orkut, people havent got hold of that feature as yet……..

sometimes, mind just wanders…….but on most occassions, it wonders – what the fu** ?

Things to do

I am sure that there is more to life than making shallow, fairly obvious observations that I have accustomed my life to….

These days, i am thinking of making an A-Z list of all popular people….and also mark out all the schizophrenics. I intend to find out whether all geniuses were schizophrenics to some degree of extent.

Secondly, i am thinking of visiting every nook and corner of delhi and eat up its unbearable heat. I think that would be an excellent tribute to my home town. For the rest of my life, my last impression of this town would be that of the burning heat……..rather gud one to have (have often always wondered why there is not a song “dilli ki garmi”)

thirdly, i also intend to meet up with my old friends…..mostly because i have nothing else worthwhile to do

fourthly, i have to arrange all seasons of seinfeld…….but before that i wd hv to buy a portable HDD (80 gb preferrably)

i can’t think of much else now……

further in my next post

discs, pubs, bars….

yes, been there.done that and hated it…..

people are unquestionably enthu abt visiting any kind of “happening” place…….some of my friends would love to spend the rest of their lifetimes in a pub with hard music blaring into their ears

I have gone to every possible “abode” earlier at bangalore and now at Delhi too…..somehow, i dont share the enthu. It sux bigtime, i end up getting bored and wonder how clean the glasses are? and how much do these guys make per day? and would i be able to arrange this music at a VHP/RSS convention ?

i am normally able to tolerate extreme envoirnments  (I can stay alive on KCN for 0.3 sec more than the national average) and thus actually act like i find the place really cool…..my friends are happy and i wd nt like to destroy their illusion.

which is precisely the reason i blog…..now i will tell my friends to make a point to read this post, they won’t (Its called Anti-suggestion paradox) and i wd happily make more derogatory comments

general bakwaas

I hv succesfully avoided orkut for almost 20 days now (yessss!)  and feeling rather gud with myself….infact, i see no reason y i shd hv joined orkut in the first place

On a more philosophical note, life as usual rocks and sux simultaneously its a blissful feeling when u have been handed a failure bt u know tht this ws the worst possible outcome and u cd nt get any lower…..gives u real perspective :O

One must never lose sight of the goal. As one philosopher aptly remarked-

after each failure….. comes the great sulking

AMEN

And that thing called “ending my life”

I recently heard of someone who had tried to commit suicide. It was a girl/boy issue. As sorry as i feel, i cannot help admiring how people who try commiting suicide and are unable to do so, stop trying??

Why quit trying? Is your life any better? NO, infact now you know that you are failing at one more thing. Does that not make you a bigger loser??

One shouldn’t stop trying…………the satisfication u get at having reached a set target is amazing!!

PS1: hate to discuss this morose topic in a lighter vein.

PS2: otherwise, had a gud day today……coz it was my bday

PS3: leave comments

On Boredom……

and once again, i am bored…….

so turned bck to blogging………its a stress buster. only i don’t have stress or rather i don’t take one

I ws askd this question : u know wht u wanna do if u have a million dollars in hand, coz thts wht u’d really do

Answer: Nothing. I wd just sit on my ass and do nothing.

well, no. i have many professions in mind – a writer perhaps, or as a songwriter or a scientist or a politician.

bt ultimately, i’m gonna sit on my ass one day and realize……i shd hv been lending support to my bum before makin a milion dollors.

PS: i am screwing with my own brains

on chinki movies

There is not a day in my life that I do not thank my stars for having been brought in a world where Kung-fu and better still, Kung-fu movies thrive and multiply.

The rapid hand movements, the fast legs, the unbelievable leaps, the flying swords, the incredulous balancing on sticks and ladders, the possession of skill and strength that even superman couldn’t boast of………where would the world be without these movies ?

typical indian’s reaction – its just fighting!!!!!!

No, Sir/Madam this is nt merely a fight, this is an adrenaline shot for those of us who believe that

a) gravity does not exist

b) All those Laws of physics are trash

c) we can one day fly

d) we would learn how to balance on a single stick someday

People complain its unrealistic…….I wonder what they said when a certain Mr. Bacchan jumped and landed on a parchute which Mr. Roshan was calmly gliding along down a precipituos hill in Dhoom 2  or when Rajnikant does any of his so talked-about stunts.

A large majority of Hindi movies are way too much trash than Chinki movies………not to mention all that sobbing and hysterics.

Atleast, i have fun while watching a Chinki movie!!!!!!!

PS1: not all hindi movies are trash…….

PS2: am confused these days….

PS3: my apping process shd hopefully be over very soon.

PS4: will continue this post

PS5: will talk abt some of my most fav chinki movies

PS6: please don’t mind my repeated use of the word ‘chinki’ If u find it objectionable, please tell me so……..

PS7: two of my friends are doing this parkour thingy….hope it works and they don’t end up with necks broken !!!

PS8: coz its real scary……kinda like a stunt group
