2007 has come to an end. :-|
An year that has thrown up a LOT of stuff...a rollercoaster ride if there ever was one ;-)
There are a lot of year-end reviews on all kinds of stuff ..so i thought of writing a review of my life in 2006 :-)
The year started off with my prep for the JEE in absolute shambles and me having given up totally on it.But as i wasn't desperate to get in anyway,i didn give much of a damn and was jus watin for the god-damn exams to get over and sneak into some college :-D
With a few truely free-spirited like-minded friends around,we seemed to be having more fun,come the exams!But with loads of guilt about the fact we aint studyin,but..that was usual :-)
Well,the exams came and went,and with the help of a JEE paper custom-made to fit what little a studied and a huge slice of luck,i made it through :-).So,me and all of my friends ended up in pretty decent colleges,and after the three-four months of having fun when supposed to study,we finally had 2-3 months of bliss.That happy feeling that only Joblessness can give ya :-)
But i had to choose courses and all that..and i had two choices,Chennai/Kanpur.Now,IITM is like next-door .but i wanted to explore the world you know...go out and move around,interact with new kinds of people,culture..so i chose IITK..;-/
And what a first sem here!A pretty decent time at the cult fest,a lil but of booze n smoke's spread over,a marathon of bunkin classes...and to top it all,i finally failed!An F in math.WoW.Lolz.heheheh.Funny.I aint even ashamed of the fact.Sheesh :-D
Now on to 2008...and what new experiences will it throw up?Will it be any different to all the previous years?I have a feeling its going to be pretty much the same for me...jobless roaming around,average acads..:-D
And the Arsenal "Kids" have finally matured and are showing the world what they are capable of.Go Gunnerzz!
And Again,A very very happy and prosperous new year to you all!

Mail To Sis ;-)
Well,this one of the funnier mails I've written,
For those who don't know(which will be most i guess),My sis is currently doing her M.S in the U.S..and for quite some time,we hadn't chatted.Her name is Janani and yours truly's name is Saketh :~D.
I was bloody bored and decided to write her a mail and also ask her why she hasnt contacted for so long.Then,i thought about pulling her leg~~abusing her for not having contacted...and finally ended up sending this ..
Sub: URGENT : DUID India Requires Confirmation of Identity
This is to Miss M. Janani , Daughter of R.Indira and K.P.N.Murthy
enquiring about a certain sentient being going by the name of Saketh
(sa -as in "saw", keth as in the hindi "keth" for field),who alleges
to be your brother.
On thorough examination of your brother's recent doings,it has been
found that he has been in contact with a number of friends of his
frequently,even face-to-face.And also,less frequently,his room-mate.He
has also been in touch with friends of his old school etc etc. We even
checked back to such extents ,it has been found that he has been in
contact with the grand-grand-grand-grand son of the crow that had pee'
d on him in his erstwhile hometown Kalpakkam (The fourth crow in its
great line had taken part in the great South-North Migration) and also
its companion sidekick pigeon .But nowhere in his contacts does there
appear any "Janani" or any mention of a "sister".
As a consequence of the above, Saketh has filed a petition claiming
that his sister is dead,and since he is the closest surviving
relative,he should get immediate possession of all her material and
intellectual property,especially her I-Pod shuffle and any other
extravagant purchases she might have made in the U.S excluding any
vintage undergarments.
He even went so far as to give complete details,and it was he who
detailed us with this g-mail id saying its his sisters. he arrogantly
said "Mail all you wanna!!a billion mails of your's ain't gonna get no
reply"(before he collapsed into groans as he was then suffering from
acute pain in the ass triggered by his room-mate)
We mail you as we have serious doubts as to whether such a sister
exists(dead or alive).Thorough research even threw up that he had
talked(Take a glass of water.Drink it.Now have copious amounts of
whisky .You are in for a shock) to a few GIRLS in IIT-K.In case you
are ignorant of the fact,the last rare sighting of a female on campus
was when an innocent first-yearite had taken a wrong turn at the
crossings,to find a girl(all people on campus are trained to identify
one when they see one).Total number of sightings have numbered in the
few dozen last year.
If we have dug so deep as to reveal "girl" connections,its impossible
to not have mentioned any sister or "Janani"(nice name,i must say,we
could meet sometime..if u are alive,that is.maybe over a cup of
tea...i am tall,dark,handsome..).ahem..where was i?Ya...impossible as
even great-grandma's made their presence somewhere.
This brings us to have serious doubts about the validity of his statements.
1)If you are Alive,proceed to Step 3
2)If you are dead,proceed to...what the fuck,if u are dead,call your
local undertaker
3)If u are Janani,proceed to step 5
4)If you are not janani,proceed to step 5
5)Are you the sister of the afore-mentioned Saketh?
If u ARE,and you didn't lie and really are alive...please mail back
immediately. Else you could lose your case and be proclaimed dead in your
home country.And also be thusly confiscated of all your
possessions..bare(well,not exactly bare,your undergarments ll be
spared i guess)
You could also correspond regularly with us...it is astonishing how
you have maintained your distance so effectively!!!We would love to
make a case study of you!we also have among our number's people who
would love to distance themselves from their siblings(though majority
of them have a prob with elder sisters,sharp contrast to the case
here).
Here's to great times ahead.
Cheers,
Your Could-Be,
And Chief Resolver Of Utterly Irrational Disputes,
Skinhead Dudderhead
P.S-Think about the cup of tea...

P.S-Think about the cup of tea...
Christmas!
Well,Christmas has come and gone..and all the "Merry X-mas"'s are finally over..i suddenly thought of something.
A dozen friends wished me a merry christmas today and none of them were christian.Ever thought about it?
Does the festival truly transcend religion?Very interesting phenomenom, and one unique to christmas as i cant point any other single religious festival with as much widespread impact..what about the hindu festivals?Nope.Id?Bakrid?Nope.But christmas...and u can find everyone on the street wishing you as they go by!
Well,after much thought,i guess Christmas has come hand-in-hand with english.As we study english in schools and college's we read many many stories and most are set in a christian background..i.e the characters are christian.Whether the fact that they are christian has a role in the story doesn't matter..we find many references to Christianity.Who has not read the Christmas Carol and the very many stories that revolve around the Christmas season.Do we read about bakrid?Id?Rarely if ever.
Do i resent Christianity for it?Why should I?I rather feel sad that we are not exposed to the traditions and culture of other relgions too,many as beautiful and as stirring to their own followers as Christmas is..
I also felt that its so wonderful that we are so receptive of other religions.Its in a way , heartening to see everyone wishing celebrating Christmas...gives hope that the world may yet be free of religious wars and bloodshed.
After all its not just a celebration of Christianity,it is a celebration of Life.
Merry X'mas to you all too.And a hapy new year :-)

My N + 1'th attempt at a blog..
I always start with loads of enthusiasm.On an intellectual High or after having followed some particularly refreshing train of thought..i feel like writing it down somewhere.Give my thoughts Shape.An existence.
But then comes naming the blog.Well,if my blog is going to be one i'm going to regularly post in(as intended),It should be pretty good shodunnit?I named one LifeIsSoComplicatedFuckIt , another IncoherentRamblingsOfAnAddledBrain and yet another ThoughtlessThoughts...
As you can see (especially with the last one),I was definitely getting bugged up..so i said-Whats in a name anyway? and tried THAT out only to find that TOO had been taken,so i added an eh and there i am .Successfully named.Christened.Whatever.
I tried out loads of combinations before that,i tried RequeimForABlog (i loved the movie,Requiem For A Dream),but found out that some smart ass had taken that(now i cant see why i didnt expect it,there s a serious surplus of blogs,even with the unimaginative zillions),tried out IncoherentRamblings(Taken) and a few more,but nope. No success
Then,after all that,i had to give a Title too.Now,i was too bugged by then,and i restrained myself from giving the computer the ol' one-two and so just named it some crap.
And then ,the first post.Well,all the enthusiasm's been definitely taken out by now.So i end up writing a Crappy first post describing a Crappy blog creation.Maybe i should have titled it Crap.Or maybe Crappiest Blog Ever.Maybe i should go dip my head in elephant shit.Maybe you should too.
Ah well.
If you are reading this,at least i aint the most jobless. :-)
Cheers.
