Childhood Stuff

Woh man,i was having a little talk about ma childhood with ma mum and a lot hilarious stuff came up..

* When i was less than ONE,mind you,ONE,i was OUT playing in the street,and came back home saying a cat had bit me with a cat bite rash on my arm!My mum s like"It was a quite road,no vehicles an all..an i was pretty sure you ll be safe."MAN.

*When i was TWO, i had my first sleepover.i was just having too much fun in the guy next doors house,n i wouldn't come back..i slept over :D

*When i was pretty young,two-three or sumtin~my mom said,i spoke my first English Sentence SELF-Constructed.As in,not repeating someone else or not taught by someone else.its sumtin ma dad keeps buggin me about.I was cuddling up to him one night and wanted him to intertwine his fingers with mine.So, I'm like"Dad,can you please link your hands with mine?".Woh,couldnt i have cum up with sumtin Jazzy :D?

*When i was in fifth standard,we had gone to this party,with all friend uncles and aunts n everythin ,roundabout fifteen-twenty people ,with quite a few kids 'round my age.This one uncle asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?"..Everyone answered Doctor,Cricketer an all that.Then it was my turn...i was known for my notoriety and people kinda expected me to say Engine Driver,Conductor or something.But No,guess what i said.

I nonchalantly proclaimed "Nah,no fixed plans, i would like to take life as it comes".
People were left stunned and impressed.

Ah, i love myself \m/.

*My handwriting used to be and is HORRIBLE.Once,in sixth standard,my teacher asked my mom to read my notebook.She asked him if a second standard kid who was just getting used to writing had written it.:(((

* I used to be this Totally lazy fella.Would never participate in any stuff.But then they said,you must participate in atleast three extracurricular activities !And guess what?Much to my teachers and mum's amusement,I promptly registered myself in two competitions.Hindi and English handwriting.

*I used to suck BAD at Sanskrit.Every time,my mum used to catch me and try to push in as much as she could the day before the exam..and i would just pass .My marks were ALWAYS between 55 and 65(no exception.This happened for the whole of sixth and seventh(i REALLY used to suck bad at it)).Then in eighth,i went to ma friends place,didn't study ANYTHIN,total bulla....and ended up with a 91.Yep,dont ask me how :).I myself totaled it twice again to see if i was making a mistake!

*The third contest i registered myself was Flower Arrangement.On the day of the contest,on the way to the school,i picked a few flowers,a few leaves an all dat,put 'em in my pocket and went to the competition.The guy to my left was Atheendra,smartest,most intelligent,most G.K,Best athlete for five years running,topper for five years running,winner of every fuckin competition he takes part in,and he took part in literally everythin,(He is now in IITM.One of the Coolest guy's i know.)everybody's pet.He had a Huge set-up with two-three hanging pots n stuff.Amazing flowers.To my right,Asha,counterpart of Atheendra in the other section.Similarly breathtaking flowers.In the middle,me,with a bunch of squashed flowers!Intimidated?!No!I called the judge over and proudly showed him my collection.And ran off pleased as he didn't seem to spend much time on mine :).


And loads n loads more of fun stuff.Feels great to remember n write such stuff.I'm sure you guys must have had similar experiences...share them in the comments! :)

A New Beginning...?

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!

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.
