It's been a farely good year for me .I passed in "THE EXAM OF MY LIFE" which I gave in the month of May .and of course how can I forget...I started blogging this year.Blogging has been a farely enriching experience for me .Here are a few things that I learned about blogs and blogging as a whole
->Think before you publish a certain post.
->Never try to hurt anyone through your blog.
->Don't stop typing in the middle of the post thinking this would not work ..I have done that several times and regretted it.
->Try not to alter your image or yourself in general through your blogs coz there is a huge danger of doing something like that.
->Type everything properly and clearly coz I have made several grammatical mistakes in the past without really any intentions of making them and at the end of the day It really makes you look a lot silly or rather noobish which you know you are not..... :P
->Get a really good template for your blog ....though I have changed mine ... but am still not happy with it ...coz I feel that other blogs that I visit are much more stylish and presentable than mine is.... :(
->Get some interesting and fun stuff in your blog(which I intend to in 2008)so that other's keep visiting your blog frequently.
->And finally I have also learnt that if you want to get more comments for your blog ...either you just have to leave a comment on somebody else's blog or have Friends and I mean genuine friends who themselves write blogs and get comments from them and you return the "favour" : P...Changing the topic now .....
Movie of the year according to me:
Now I have'nt watched too many movies this year ....funny I should say that coz anyways I don't watch too many movies in a year :P....Now I don't watch too many English Movies and I am not embarrased in admitting that.The reason being that I can't seem to get the U.S accent. And I am also not in the league of those people who sit through a english flick pretending that they are understanding everything coz let's face it ,they are not :P...(I know a lot many ppl like that)....
For me the best movie I saw this year was Johny Gaddar...Now if you are a fan of those "Who dun it"??...kinda books or novels then u sure gonna enjoy this one....I agree that it seemed like a English Flick,but it also seemed like a fresh and vibrant movie unlike those silly hindi "thriller" movies that we hv been bored to death with.....I hope I get to see similar kind of movies next year...
Blogging in this Year stops with this...... Happy new year readers .....Adios 2007.....and welcome 2008 !!!!
P.S:I don't belive in either astrology or numerology coz I feel you write your own destiny and jo hona hain woh ho ke raheta hain but still here's a thing to chew upon :P
2008=2+8=10=1+0= 1
My birthday:16/05/1987=1+6+0+5+1+9+8+7=37=3+7=10=1+0= 1.. :P
Both add Upto 1... :P
*rejoice*...well not exactly .....This does'nt not mean I become Khumbkaran and hibernate for the rest of the year ..does it :D ???

"Incredible Fascination"
When I was coming back home from giving my sem exam yesterday, I decided to call up my friend who was my classmate with whom I had'nt been in touch for the last 5 years .I had only his number stored in my phone but did not call him all this while coz normally I deal only in messages and don't call up anyone as my balance always reads below 10(*Interesting excuse heh*) .I decide to scare him a little bit.Mauja hi Mauja hounded my ears for about 45 seconds when a sleepy voice answered the call(guess he was sleeping).Is that Mr.Samal? I asked in Oriya...Aagyaan he said...I said Huh???.....Then I realised that it meant yes sir..the ploy had worked...He thought I was some elderly person..After bothering him for a minute or two I told him who I was..Abuses and laughs came from the other side.He was in Kolkata doing his mbbs.So another 2 years to go huh..I asked...no dude not 2 .....another 4 and a half years to go ......
The guy had stood 2'nd in our school in the 10'th standard.He was shrewed,arrogant and had a lot of attitude(around 90% of the scholis are like that,are'nt they :P)..bullied me a lot in school and here I was, a good 2 years senior to him(degree wise) though we were of the same age.He had taken a 2 year drop inorder to get into a good medical college.He wanted to become a doctor at any cost.Infact more than 50 % of my classmates of 10'th standard in bhubaneswar are atleast 1 year junior to me(degree wise) as they have taken a drop after their 12'th to "prepare"for either their engg or mostly medical to get into a good college.Compare it with here in mumbai ....the % could be hardly 20.
I remember in one of our pct(communication subject) session practicals in this sem itself we were asked to introduce ourselves in front of the prof and one of the guys in his own introduction told that he had wasted two years to get into a medical college and now finds himself here in this college.The ma'm quickly responded saying don't say you wasted it.you did a learn a lot ...I did'nt bother responding then but..."learn a lot".....what did he learn .....that the hard work of 2 years does not pay off.....I am actually not against people taking a 'n' years of preparation time but the point is that if you want to be a doctor or something that really you want to become, why do something like that.why not work harder during that 10'th-12'th standard period..agreed that luck does not favour you all the time but if you have the determination to do something ,you are bound to acheive it.and if that does not work out,why not go for something else.I really can't think of anything that is to be learnt in that 2 years really except the bio,physics and chemistry fundamentals:P...As one prof had once said you are actually gonna retire one year before your actual retirement age:P
The guy who I was taking about earlier is also a womanizer ...so you can imagine what he did in those 2 years. :P.. He does have a girlfriend in his coll...So well it's actually not gonna be 4 years dude ...it will be another 5 .. :D ..Just kidding ........wish you well all the time :)
Song I am listening to:
"Tera Mujhse" from Aa gale lag jaa (1973 flick)
Tera mujhse hain pehle ka nataa koi
yoon hee nahi dil loobhata koi ~~*Beautiful Lyrics & a Beautiful Song*

Endurance Personified
Read A beautiful Article/Story in Mumbai Mirror yesterday
Hoped that I get it on the net and I did
Here it goes
Students who fail to clear their SSC or HSC exams in the first attempt, or even subsequently, should take heart from the approach of Zohaib Salmani. The 25-year-old did not clear the SSC exams in his first attempt. But he did not give up and tried again. And again. And again... Coming back to the point, Salmani’s perseverance paid off when he passed the exams this year in his 14th attempt.Salmani was a student of Anjuman Islam High School at CST. He loves cricket and plays cricket. When he first appeared for the SSC exams in March 1999, he managed to pass in just one subject, which was Urdu. Soon after, he started assisting his father, Aqueel Kiratpuri, at his hair cutting saloon.In March 2000, he tried again but failed to pass in any subject.Salmani says, “In October 2000, I again sat for all the papers, except Urdu, but still couldn’t clear any. I wanted to leave studies. Since our saloon is at Lokhandwala in Andheri (W), TV stars were regulars and I thought I should stop attempting SSC and concentrate on a career as a hair stylist.“However, my father wanted me to complete my SSC at any cost. Each time I failed, he used to ask me to try the next time.”He took admission in a night school at Malad. His efforts began paying off. In March 2003, he passed his science paper.“It gave me fresh hope and I decided to attempt all the papers in March 2004. But to my dismay, I could clear only Urdu and science papers. failed in all the other subjects,” says Salmani.When he failed in the October 2004 exams too, instead of feeling dejected, he resolved to clear the SSC exams.In March 2005, he managed to clear English but could not pass in the remaining subjects when he appeared for the exams in October 2005. “In March 2006, I cleared the mathematics paper and in October 2006 the Hindi and Marathi papers. Now the only subject that remained to be cleared was social science,” says Salmani.But it took him two more attempts to clear the paper. “I was not successful in March 2007 but cleared it in the October 2007 exams,” says Salmani.The results were released on Friday and Salmani says, “It was the happiest day in my life. I am happy I listened to my father’s advice and persevered.”His father distributed sweets among family and friends to celebrate Salmani’s rather unique success. “The good part is that he kept on trying and did not lose hope. So what if he took 14 attempts? At least, I can proudly say my son tried really hard for his SSC,”
Love the last few lines spoken by his father
quote:"I can proudly say my son tried really hard for his SSC.”
There is no substitute to trying.It just goes on to show what determination can do.The question is not about failing,the question is do we try enough as individuals .Whatever his problem would have been,the guy who passed did "try" .
~kudos~

Time to "Vomit"
In these two and a half years of my engineering life I have realised that mugging can be a great stress buster.I mean it's like a "jap"(pronounced as jp or jaap)...You keep on repeating the things again and again like a sadhu does and if your lucky ...(i.e if your stars are in the right place :P),you even get to understand the concept behind it .....exam time is here again and the irrepairable continues..... *Sigh* ...."Best of luck to all engg aspirants"(Hopefully the "JP" works :P)

And she will be loved
She will be loved
Such a beautifully written song ,not only is it beautifully written but also sung so well especially these particular lines .....and the music is out of this world ....
~Kudos~

Dhoooom :->"Of Another kind" :P
Now I am a very simple and quite a normal kind of a guy ......no kidding ......ask my friends if u will......innocent , sweet and shy are the other likely adjectives that they may use :P.......so if something completely "out of the box","abnormal"and a different from usual thing happens then I get completely taken aback, shocked and surprised .....I question myself then that in which world was I living in ??...world ai'nt a simple place to live in afterall ......there are so many things that I did'nt know .......A similar kind of thing happened on the month of september in 2004 .....
DHOOM....yeah the movie featuring John abraham,Abhishek bachchan had just released.....chal let's go ..my bro said....okies.....let's go ......we got a seat not exactly in the corner of the theater but it was in the right hand side and on the top most row..... two seats on the right hand side of me were empty and I wished it remain so till the end of the movie :P...The movie started...got enough space to sit as the sides seats were empty :D....Twenty minutes had gone by when I saw a couple in their 20's (18-25) of that range walk towards me .....They occupied the seats to the right of me The guy sat next to me whereas the gal sat next to the guy .......I was cool about it....no prob's....well no prob's untill about 5 minutes of them occupying their seats .....I looked at my right I could'nt see the guy's face side on ...could only see the backside of his head...I frankly could not make out what they were actually doing .......Again after about 5 minutes the same thing happened....I was like wtf is happening .....This kept happening every 5 minutes during the film ....On one such occusion I saw the guy just bring the girl's top of the sleeve down so that nobody could see her arms...Geee They are cuddling for sure I thought .......Light's came onn to my releif ....I normally don't go out of the hall so I stayed onn and so did the Twosome.....During this time I heard the two were in a conversation ....Let's give it a ear I thought :P....To my horror I overheard the girl asking the boy that what he did and what were his plans and all ......Now I thought surely the girl must be knowing the boy quite well ,but no she did'nt .....wtf I thought ....After the break It started again .....wtf maan ...let me concentrate on the movie for god sake's :(...It continued every 5 minutes during the movie .....The climax ...I mean of the movie :P was about to approach...and guess what the couple left .....Guess they already had climaxed :D....John abraham died ...."what a waste of life" quoted abhishek bachchan ......I thought what a waste of Time .....I did not see the movie fully or rather properly....I was busy watching another one.....though not properly coz the boy's head covered it .......damn!!....In this while I forgot to mention that my bro also kept peeping into them coz he saw me a little uncomfortable but He enjoyed the film ....dhoom that is :P
After the movie was over and as we were walking I asked my bro ...Dude did u see what the couple next to me was doing ??? now my bro said something which I thought was completely bulls*** at that time ...but now I realise why he said so .......He said ....dude You should have concentrated on the movie .......what others are doing should not be your priority....It should be of no concern to u at all ...You had gone to the theater to see dhoom and not be a Peeping tom ......Yeah right .....I thought at that time ...But now it sounds so true .....You know that day I could'nt sleep at all ....Aisa bhi hota hain ....I thought....Geee which world was I living in then ...The guy who was enjoying himself looked farely decent .....so did the girl for that matter ....but not in the world could I imagine at that time that they would begin doing what they did ....I mean A cinema hall is built to watch a movie ......not a place for kissing and cuddling.....Like the one liners in good ol' american TV shows I wanted to tell them ..."GET A ROOM".....but hell who wants to take pangas ...certainly am not one of those :P....
From that day onwards my prospectives changed.....now a days I make sure that I get a seat straight in the middle of the theater :P....The "cuddlers" can cuddle anywhere they want to but not in a cinema hall.......certainly not anywhere near me for god sake's :D

The "Che" phenomenon !!!!!!
A year back I remember in my tuition class ......A guy asking me....
He:dude who's this guy????
Me:don't know maan........not in my coll .......
He:arre no .....not him .....the face on that guy's t-shirt .........who is he ????
Now call me a noob or an illitrate ...but I too did'nt know who he was ..... :P
Me:I don't know maan .......
A week passed and we two met in the same tuition class .....and believe it or not ......we said the sentence exactly at the same time ......dude that guy was che guevara !!!!!
The face had stayed on our minds for a week .......we both had done some research on it .........such was the impact of the face ......such a cult .......This guy is more popular than Shahrukh Khan in Kolkata ......Died at the age of 39 .......A guy with such a following .....
No where to Run
No where to hide
This is the Time
Let's Do or Die !!!!!
No that's not his saying .....infact a Para frm the Chak De India Title Track .....which kind of epitamizes the guy in the no:4 position of the most influential heros and icons list of the 20'th century in the TIME magazine.....
It's kinda sad we don't have heros like him in India .......but the cult of che will always live onn .........LONG LIVE !!!!!!!

Sonu nigam :The true Indian Rockstar
Blogging after loooong time .......no ...not giving any excuses though they are all genuine......It's been exactly a month ......I want to write a blog everyday u know but sometimes what u want to do may not be possible everytime thanxs to our internet service provider...... :P
I wanted to write this on the 21'st of October but then I saw a red cross at the right bottom screen of my monitor which meant it was'nt possible at that day ..........Hell It was'nt possible that month .......
There is a wave of International Artists performing in India...the latest being MISS "BOOTYLIACIOUS"..Beyonce... They were showing glimpses of her concert on ndtv ......Everybody was shown having a good time .........though I could'nt get a thing........I really thought it was too loud ......Blame it on me not liking her stuff....though her songs like "crazy in love" and "naughty girl" are there in my mp3 player ... :P.... I really thought the people came in to "see" Beyonce rather than to hear her sing frankly ..........I certainly would not pay >2000 to just see her LIVE ...a dekho on the net or in a magazine is enough for me ..... :P
Enough of her......coz I thought the night of 20'th october was a real rocking night .......Sonu nigam had come to vashi to perform .....and what a night it was ......Why do we want international artists to come to india and perform ......though some should ...yes .......but when u have sonu nigam on stage .......there really seems no need of having them......
It began with some average numbers from him but as the night moved on it truly went frm moderate to hardcore ......It was similar to what he did last year but it feels as if he goes a notch higher as a performer everytime .........the "BIJURIA" track seems a very average track while u hear it but when sonu nigam performs it on stage it feels something else .......it's not everytime that a singer sings a particular song twice and the whole 20,000 crowd dance and clap with him on one particular song .......there were more songs to which each and everyone were clapping and dancing to.....it's a pity that a singer of his calibre has to sing emotional songs everytime ..... :(........
He is nothing without his band though ........the band is super rocking .....I noticed one thing though ........Both the band and Sonu nigam himself have a tendency to repeat the same kind of performance ....It felt as if we were watching the last year's show .......The jokes cracked by Sonu were the same and the band repeated the roo-ba-roo song once again at the start ......I hope he and his band bring some thing new in their next outing .......hopefully next year ... :D
There is a great void in the indian stage performances now-a-days but there are some who try and keep that void covered...I know there are rock bands like parikrama and indian ocean etc ........but if there is one guy and his band .....which sets the stage on fire it has to be ........Sonu nigam--- The true Indian Rockstar
P.S: A request to the organiser for next year .......plzz remove all the chairs that are there .........keep the whole ground open ....... :P......let everybody stand and feel free to rock..... :D

Career vs "Party all night"
October 2: Long live the Mahatma !!!!!!!!!
I am 20,A Student currently and "single" as if that mattered .. :p....
I have got friends who just know how to let their hair down .......and party all night..they are least bothered about their future ....some have a year's drop.....some will do in the future .......
Then there are others who just keep studing all the time ........career remains their main priority...Can't say whether they like "partying all night" or not ...but I can safely say that most of them don't .......
Then there are what I call them as "The Aliens"......who do both the things quite simultaneously......they love to party all night but at the same time they maintain a very good level of sincerity in their studies ......get the good grades when it's required ..........
so what's my point ???????.......
My point is what should you do as a student ........which one do you follow ?????......certainly not the first one ......coz then You ruin your carrer .........I mean the first set of people don't even realise that by just neglecting studies ,they are neglecting their future ..........then should it be the second one ......it is the ideal option if u ask any teacher or prof..........but then "fun years of student" life goes away ......There are a lot of chances of becoming a "nerd".......
The person who parties all night and keeps his grades under check mesmerises me ........He/She does it with so much of ease .......but can You as a person follow him ........take lessons .....If you are'nt made that way then I don't think You can ....but atleast give a try ...........that's why actually it should be "carreer and party all night" instead of a "vs" in between ..........
but never forget that if that does'nt work .......coz let's face it won't .........then just
"BE YOURSELF"..........
P.S : "Party all Night" does not mean "partying all night" in that sense....It just simply means to have "fun".......going out with friends and having a great time ..................
I am 20,A Student currently and "single" as if that mattered .. :p....
I have got friends who just know how to let their hair down .......and party all night..they are least bothered about their future ....some have a year's drop.....some will do in the future .......
Then there are others who just keep studing all the time ........career remains their main priority...Can't say whether they like "partying all night" or not ...but I can safely say that most of them don't .......
Then there are what I call them as "The Aliens"......who do both the things quite simultaneously......they love to party all night but at the same time they maintain a very good level of sincerity in their studies ......get the good grades when it's required ..........

I survived it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Sem-2 Results were out this Friday.I had to clear my maths-2, otherwise I would have suffered a year's drop.I was nervous,very nervous.it was too close to call."Passed"it showed on the monitor.had a huge sigh of relief.
I would'nt even let my enemy to go through what I have gone through in the last 4-5 months..or may be I would :p.... knowing that it was DO OR DIE or in my case DO OR "DROP".I can tell you my friends that it's not easy..not at all easy to survive this kind of a situation ....coz not only you have to work harder than the previous sem in that paper...and not only coz u have to give more than 6 papers...but the most important of all is "YOU HAVE TO HAVE IMMENSE MENTAL STRENGTH TO GET OUT OF IT".not that I did ....but u surely need some ...I made very small and suttle changes on how I approached the paper..and I guess that did work ...only just though..got a 40 ......escaped from the skin of my teeth ....but what the hell... "I DID"
but my heart goes out to those who did'nt survive .......ohh I gotta add another thing ......this year the results have come so late ......that my nervousness point went on a "HIGH RISE"....it was getting on my nerves now...I would have sued the university if it had taken another 2 weeks :p.......coming back to who did'nt survive ....not they were not good enough but they may be and just may be ...they could not take it anymore ....engineering was getting to them .....pressure got to them ..It almost got me too .....but I guess the university thought I was not good enough to get a drop :p.....
HOW DID I CELEBRATE: frankly I don't feel elated....even now I am little disillusioned...a little lost....It has'nt sunk in as yet I guess...It's not easy U know to wait ,wait and wait nervously for 3 months after u have given "THE EXAM OF YOUR LIFE"and then being told that u passed .....huh...really :p....but when I heared the news I did jump 3 times :D.....frnds in college said they wanted a party ......gave a party in the canteen as soon as the results came to college..."40 MILA ....ARRE CENTURY MARAA, AB TOH AUR BADAA PARTY" one of the guys said .....LOL......coke was splashed all over me as my 400 bucks went out of the drain ...but what the heck ....400 bucks ai'nt equal too 1 year drop ..is it? :p
If you check my orkut profile now ......the caption or tagline or whatever you call it says it all ......

Magar ye acchanak hua kya ?????
Mohabbat kabhi maine ki to nahin thi
Kisiki nigahon se pi to nahin thi
Magar yeh achanak hua kya, ho ho ho
O jaan-e-jaan yeh sach hain ki
Mein apni mohabbat ka izhaar
Kabhi khul ke na kar saka
Magar meri aankhen
Hamesha meri dil ki haalat batati rahi hain
Aur tu hain ke mujhse bekhabar aaj bhi hain
Mere dil ki har dhadkan sirf tera naam leti hain
Sirf tera naam
Tu saanson mein samaye
Tu dhadkan ko churaye
Kahi deewana ho jaoo na tera
Pehli nazar ka pehla nasha
Dil mein utarta jaaye sanam
Sharmake mujhse milna tera
Jaadoo sa karta jaaye sanam
Yeh beqarari aisi khumari
Pehle kabhi to mujhpe na hui
Kabhi dil pe yoon bekhudi to nahin thi
Kisise mujhe aashiqui to nahin thi
Magar yeh achanak hua kya, ho ho ho
Kitne hi chehre dekhe magar
Maine chuna hain bas ek tujhe
Har pal ho meri baahon mein tu
Mil jaaye aisi kismat mujhe
Dil yeh pukara tera nazara
Karta hi jaoon o jaan-e-jaan
Mujhe pehle itni khushi to nahin thi
Yoon mehki hui zindagi to nahin thi
Magar yeh achanak hua kya, ho ho ho
Tu saanson mein samaye
Tu dhadkan ko churaye
Kahi deewana ho jaoo na tera
Mohabbat kabhi maine ki to nahin thi
Kisiki nigahon se pi to nahin thi
Magar yeh achanak hua kya, ho ho ho
A Great Sonu Nigam song ..........and before You begin to start thinking something .......let me just say I just like this song and nothing else......... :p

I can see the good life,but...........
Ok this is the first time I am writing a poem and so if you don't like it, don't abuse me :p
this is what I came up with !!!!!
I do see him everyday
he does look the same
but to be like him
am I really game ?
Look at him now
he looks so happy
with his good ol' pals
who I feel are all crappy
but are they really crappy
or am I just being mean ?
may be a little jealous ....
which is all to be seen
He does not attend lectures
but is the class topper
and for all the girls out there
he seems a jaw dropper
but moi don't care
or should I really do
coz let's face it
that's a good life too .....
look at him again
has no tension no worry
and when the "P.L" will come
he will all be in a hurry
Do I need to be like him
will it then be all dark
coz to have that recognition
I have to leave that "mark"
I can see the "good life"
it does look good to the " T "
but I guess to be successful
I just have to be "me"..........

Sense of Nostalgia
On a lazy saturday weekend morning I usually stay at my home and with these wicked rains around it's better to stay indoors.And ofcourse my favourite paastime at home is watching The Tele...So as I was surfing through all the channels,I came across the promo of Gandhi-my father and as I was about to change the channel,something stopped me...A song which played in the background of the promo almost shook me up...A sense of nostalgia,pride and past memories filled my heart with sorrow... the song was ......
Raghupati Raghav Rajaram Patit Paavan Sitaram
Sitaram Jai Sitaram Bhaj pyare tu Sitaram
Ishwar Allah Tere Naam Sabko sanmati de Bhagwan.
Raat ko Nindiya Din ko KaamKabhi Bhajoge Prabhu Ka NaamKarte rahiye aapne Kaam Lete Rahiye Prabhu Ka Naam
Raghupati Raghav Rajaram Patit Paavan Sitaram
This song took my 10 years back,The time when I was in school.I used to love social studies .Though my favorite subject was Geography,I did'nt particularly hate History.Infact I enjoyed it.I thought the subject was a complete story book....If somebody comes and tells me that he/she hates history,I would never be able to figure out why?I would definately get an impresion that he/she does not like reading story books,the person definately does not like reading books for that matter.... :p
Coming back to the song,When our 60'th independence day is just around the corner,I heard this song on the tele and felt a bit lost.The song revived in me a certain kind of pride and made me feel so different.It felt as if a certain kind of aura had surrounded me.It's so sad that when we leave our school we forget our history.The songs that we sang in school,glorifying our culture,our heritage and our past .....where is that today ??....as if there's no need for it ....I don't feel patriotic enough now-a-days and I can say the same for my friends..
Our society does celebrate the cultural events though,be it the independence day or the republic day....Atleast by attending those ceremonies some amount of that pride comes into affect...atleast I can stand in attention and salute the national flag when the anthem is being played......I would like to urge all the youngsters to atleast attend that ceremony and feel something....You can go back to your school days and feel a sense of nostalgia yourself........
I would like to end by this beautifully written thing that I found while surfing
Chaaya Hai Dekho Phirse Azaadi Ka Samaan...
Jhoom Raha Hai Dekho Phirse Hindustaan..
Aao Sab Khushiyaan Manaayein...
Azaadi Ko Phirse Dohraayein....
Aao Sab Mil Jhulke Ab...
Is Desh Ko Dulhan Banaayein....
Azaadi Ko Phirse Dohraayein....

Time to Introspect.....May be change thyself ????
Recently one of my good friend wrote this testimonial about me in orkut ......I had written one for him and so he returned the favour .......... The guys reading this may think that what is written here is sweet .......but I thought am I really like that .......if I am then ...well ............
This is what he wrote
Anurag is an old friend I know for some years now.......one of the most "sudhra" and "seedha" bachas i've seen, and it's difficult gettin such friends these days.Very polite and soft-spoken, he's this chubby guy who's got this strange phobia while "Crossing the roads".Had gr8 fun durin our days at Jr. college and were 2 of the very few people who attended lectures.Got his own style of callin my name which i am pretty much now accustomed to....He's in his own world and it's his nature and behaviour that impresses me the most. Overall a gr8 friend to hav and one that u can trust upon.Am very grateful to him for being my good friend.
now I am not glorifying myself or anything ...........but there are few things which had me thinking .......let's go pointwise
POINT 1.One of the sudhra and seedha bachas ...........
now here he meant to say seedha and saadha bacha .......coz to be a sudhra one i have to have a bad past which i actually don't ... :p......
POINT2.it's difficult gettin such friends these days .........
now this thing i have to say is a part of his own fiction.......surely ..and i mean surely he has written this to glorify the testimonial .......and i promise u that i did'nt pay him .. :p.......
on a serious note though i do think he had point.....why not ......he could be true ........i leave it for u to judge ........
POINT3.He's in his own world and it is his nature and behaviour that impresses me the most
well yes this is true .......it shows that this guy has observed me ..allright...I do remain in my own world.....again i did'nt pay him when he said that i have a good nature and good behaviour .......
Now what's there to introspect in this you would ask ????
I want to you to look at point no 1 and 3 ..............do I need to be a seedha and a saadha "baccha" ........will i be able to sustain myself in this competitive world if i remain so seedha and saadha ........In one way it is good ........but in all other ways it's bad .......you might be shaking your head now ......but am telling you it does not work .......
point no.3........I remain in my own world ..........now I don't know really know how to change this .......in one way he is trying to suggest that i don't open up .........Yes may be i need to open up ....need to be more proactive ........need to be more smart ........being alone in that way......does not work you know ......it does'nt ...........
The world is at your feet to conquer ANURAG and always remember sky is the limit .................
P.s ................I saw a very good thing today ........I was not able to find my feet in a crowded nmmt bus when I saw a guy of my age just hold his bag in one hand and take out a book (not a text book mind you)..it looked like a good story book ....and standing in one feet almost falling over in the crowd started reading ..........Now most of them around .....guys sitting or standing were busy listening to music on their cell-phones ........which i agree is a good form of relaxation .......but it was nice to see a good positive thing .........A guy reading a good book and that too standing ..............~KUDOS~

Two Days Of Goan "Salsa"
Goa ....aahaa .......is really paradise on earth ......even if we had just two days in hand ...We did make the most of it.As We landed at the Goa airport we headed straight to the Calangute beach resort..The journey was ohh so tiring .......had just slept 1 hour the other night and sitting in that locked qualis I almost was dazed ......aur kitna ghanta uncle ??? was the cry from the back seat .......bas aur kuch 45 minutes came the reply .......geee I would just have the longest nap of my life once I reach the hotel I thought ......but we did'nt have time though ......finally we were there .....without any nap we headed straight to the Calangute beach .......
Friday -> The most serene and beautiful experience in this world is the wind just gushing your face when you are about to enter a beach.ohh it feels so nice ........No assignments no vivas ....no EXAMS....... we stepped inn ......the water came gushing in and swept the sands out of my feet ......it almost took me with it but I was carefull ......after a few minutes we heard a guy whistle which meant come out of the beach .......then headed staright to the hotel again .....I did see some foreigners riding bikes on the streets while coming back which I thought was interesting......and then I had a long nap ........I even skipped my lunch .....
in the evening it was time for a cruise in the ship .......paradise was it's name .......this I thought was the most boring part of my entire stay ......the ship had three decks the groung deck which had a disco ...the middle deck had the main performances and was totally covered and the upper deck was all open..the performances of the various artists did'nt really have me dancing but it did revive the goan kind of music ........afterwards we did come to know that the side ship by the name of santa monica was a better bet ......... :(
Saturday->The qualis guy was on it's way ........We needed to cover all the beaches.....You know I saw 'n' number of liquor stores in my way .......the qualis guy later told me that there are more liqour stores here than tea stalls :).......did I have liqour ......ummm well if 5 sips of Gin is liqour then I did :)........anyways we covered up the Baga ,Vagador ,Anjuna beaches and all were superb ..........later on we headed south to the best beach I have seen so far ..........
Colva is the name ...........the place had a different kind of atmosphere The beaches were amazing ....serene to the core ......As we entered the beaches .....there were 'n' number of shells struck inside the sand .......You know there's another thing ........every beach that I went to ..... I was approached by a guy who was a tatoo expert ........sahab tatoo chahyiye.......ugh I hate tatoo ..... I need a clear skin maan .....sorry .........
In the evening it was time to go to panjim ....Capital of goa .......it's the main city .....roamed the streets of panjim.....quite a kool city must say .......did some shopping ......and back to the hotel again ............
Sunday->flight was at 5 .pm so we had to reach the airport by 3.......we decided to take all the luggages with us and do the sight seeing simultaneously........Mini goa .......Guys u gotta try this place ........it's a museum cum a architectural marvel ........u will also find India's Longest Sculptural Statue here .........It comes in the southern part of goa and is surely a must visit ..........fort aguda was our next destination ...........well it was good but nothing compared to the Shivagi Forts in maharashtra ........but nice portuegese architecture involved there ......A few visits to the mangeshkar temple and a classic portuegese goan type of a church were the next two spots that we visited........that was it ........it was time to bid adieu ........did'nt wanna go .......but had to .......Two days of goan salsa came to an end :(.......................
P.S: Guys My sem-4 results were declared on friday ....I had got a missed call from my friend on that day itself ..but was too scared to call him up to know my result .......well I did paas .......got a 60 %.......just made my weekend stay in goa an extra special one......ohh another thing .......remember I had written a blog on my p.com viva experience .........
haha........... Well I got a kool 22/25 in that viva ...............
so well being a Bengali does help Sometimes....... :p..........

Life ............A Journey To Be Experienced
When we first begin fighting for our dreams,we have no experience and make many mistakes.......
"THE SECRET OF LIFE THOUGH ,IS TO FALL SEVEN TIMES AND TO GET UP EIGHT TIMES" -------- Paulo Coelho From The Alchemist
Another quote which really inspires me and though this time it comes from a completely different source it still means a lot .......it is .......
"IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GAME ......................AND HOW TO PLAY IT"
---------Hunter Hearst Helmsley(also known as Triple H)
I have Always wanted to do well academically ......who does'nt u might ask .....it's true who does'nt .....but not all of them have the "WILL" that yes this is my goal and I have to achieve it
even i did'nt have that drive ......that's why i never could do well academically in school .......But during my school days I always made sure that the toppers of my class remain good friends of mine ........I wanted to do that coz i wanted to get into the psychic mentality of their heads .......what do they do ......how do they get good marks ........
I have noticed that there were two kinds of scholis during my school days ......
1. Those who had that mentality of ........"WORK HARD AND PARTY HARDER"........
2.And those who always were with their books ......locking themselves in a corner ..........
I was always comfortable with the latter guy but some how i was very intrigued by the "WORK HARD AND PARTY HARDER" guy.......actually the word party should be replaced by the word " HAVE FUN" guy......how did he manage it .........
He always used to do all mastis and yet score such high marks .........if I follow on his foothsteps will I be able to increase my marks .........Now i realise that those guys who follow the first rule the amount of fun that they had helps them in their studies as well .......and another thing with them is ........that these guys are all bloddy noctural animals .........atleast most of them I know are ......they all study well into the nights .......and do all mastis in the day time .........That helped them in their academical life ...........
But till now i have never quite understood the second natured character ......the one who always are with books .......Honestly I have always wanted to be like them.......But some how could not manage it .........they were out and out scholars who just had their brains in the right places I guess .......they too put in a lot of hard work ........but they could could not see eye to eye with the work hard party harder guy........they were'nt noctural as well ........read about 3-4 hours everyday ..........
the best kind of thing to describe them will be .....
parindon ko manzil milengi yakeenan
yeh faile hue unke par bolte hain
wohi log rehte hain khaamosh aksar
zamaane mein jinke hunar bolte hain.............
But for those guys who come in the NO. 3 option like me which is neither like the first guy nor the second guy .........they just have to keep on moving in life .........like paulo ceolho said that's the real secret of life ...........find your true calling .........who would "U" like to be ......................LIFE IS A GAME .......... A REAL AND EXICITING JOURNEY .......U JUST HAVE TO GIVE IT A TRY...................

Ordeals of that P.com Viva !!!!!!!
We waited, waited and waited but he was no where to be seen....Was the viva going to go like yesterdays A.O.A viva ?What was the external going to ask ?Will I be able to answer all the questions ?All sorts of thoughts creeped inside my mind as I continued to mug away the A.M and F.M fundamentals.As the time kept on moving My memory seemed to give away.Geee I was forgetting everything now ..Damn it's 11.30 and where the hell is the external ......... 11.45 ......and as I was mugging up, from the corner of my eye I could see a man in his mid thirties walk in with a helmet in one hand he went straight to the H.O.D'S room and a cry resounded in the third floor arre external aagaya...external aagaya ..soon enough the viva was about to start.
My roll no was 9 and so I thought there are still about thirty minutes before I get in as it was three persons per batch that went in first .I still had time to mug away the first batch came out and another cry went around the room ..kya poocha kya poocha???? the first guy was'nt too happy and then almost in tears he said .wapis aane ko bolaa .I said to myself ..this ai'nt gonna be my day ..surely ..am screwed today maan .I am a gonna ..Soon it was my turn in about 20 minutes ......and I did'nt want myself to be screwed so fast I said ...but anyway let's see what happens .
My partner and a good friend of mine from the first year days sat besides me.the external completed the usual sign here thing and now it was time to ask .Kya padh ke aaye ho was his first question to my partner.. ohh that's pretty simple I thought .He told noise .shit i was about to say the same thing.......But why should i say something else ...so i also said noise . he asked all theoritical questions which was mostly directed towards my partner than me actually and which were all answered in a haphazard manner ofcourse .then the non therotical questions followed which we did not have a clue of.
Then all of a sudden he turned towards me and said .ARE U FROM BENGAL ???????
now here's a guy who's trying to recall all the fundamentals of noise like noise temperature,shot noise and all ......and then some body asks him this ........I was initially startled and then a little amazed but I gathered my composure and went onn ......ye ..ye...yesss sir ........I now thought he would come back to normal now ........but guess what he went on to ask ......What does your father do ???? Gee.........I almost giggled now .........I told him the company where he used to work in a very nervous manner .........surely that's it ..........But naa.... he asked was it a software company .........ye... ye.... yess sir .......i went onn ...........ohhhk he said and turned towards my partner ........after some time the viva was over ..........what did i answer ........well i can tell u except the above answers ......there were very few answers since actually there was little asked to me and more to my good friend........ :p
Another cry followed this time dircted towards me.......arre kya poocha .....kya poocha ........I could not control my giggle but tried hard and said arre kuch nahi yaar ........sab easy tha........I thought ....gee..... this will be the best viva I would ever have in my entire life........
I can tell u guys that the sir was very ......i don't how to describe him ......but he was very regionalistic ......if such a word exists.......Coz in the same p.com viva my another good friend had a similar situation....where before he could answer something the sir read his name and said "SINGH" and he reapeted that about three times..........then went on to ask college kitni baar attend karte ho.........weekends mein bhi aate ho kya ?????? .........I mean that was humiliating ......but as far as I am concerned my case was funny ........He atleast regarded bengalis to be good people........or may be he did'nt ......But that was the best viva I could ever have I thought ..........Let's see how my future vivas turn out to be .........may be i could get external like this in the future .........who knows ........ :p !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those Days .............
Yesterday when i had this free time by myself.......whenever i have such free time ......i do dwell upon my past coz it gives me so much of satisfaction......so as i was into my past days I remembered one of those incidents that happened which still brings a smile to my face whenever i remember this one and it just tells mee how naive and innocent i was....... some may say a zombie or a noob... in those days this one surely ranks up into the "THE MOST FUNNIEST AND EMBARRASSING INCIDENT OF MY LIFE" category and i can tell u there are countless like these .........
I must of been in the 3'rd or 4'th standard then .....I accompanied my brother to someplace and as we were coming back from there ......my bro said that he wanted to take some notes from his friend who lived in a nearby house and so i accompanied him there .......Now I had this thing about going to somebodies house and eating something there .......I could not do the things simultaneously...... As we entered his house Aunty welcomed us and as we sat there my bro did all the talking as usual and I as usual kept quiet and I was just waiting endless that when will he finish his thing and we can leave .......as i was just sitting idle........ from the corner of my eye I saw bhaiyya (my bro's friend) arranging some biscuits in a plate .......ohh no .....my pulse started racing ....."I have to eat here" ?????
Now as he brought the plate towards me I thought what did he want me to do ?
I had to take one or may be two biscuits from the plate right ???? i wonder if you knew that when you were 8 or 9 years old ..............but that is not what i did ......I took the whole plate from his hand as if i thought I had to eat all the biscuits ......I could here bhaiyya giggle and my brother's face now turn red with embarrassment......he was telling mee something i could here as if to say take one take one .....but I was so nervous that time that I began eating ......there must be around 30 biscuits in that plate .......Then the aunty told mee something like .....accha saare khanne hain beta .......khao khao shayad bhuk lagi hogi !!!!!!! As i was eating I glanced At My Brother and He Gave Me the "What the hell are you doing"???? kind of a look.........The 10'th biscuit went in and I was puffed.. My cheeks expanded and aunty sitting opposite me realised my angiush......"accha aur nahi khanna hain beta .....theek hain theek hain rakh do"
My brother did some more chatting and I was just begging him to leave .....but did he listen ........Finally It was Time To Leave .........Phew !!!!!!!
Now As we were going down the staircase something occured to me......hey was i supposed to take one ........so I asked My Brother ......Hey Bro was i supposed to take one ??????.........
My Bro gave mee a glance and said then what u idiot !!!!!!!!!!!
I went err.......ummm .......huh .......OK .........still in a TIZZY ..............
Now whenever somebody offers mee like that .....i mean in one plate everything and u r supposed to take one or two ........I make sure I take one and only one ....... :p
