Innocence Lost...

An interesting thing happened on my way to the store today. There was this small really cute stray puppy which was whimpering by the roadside.I looked at it and felt really bad for the poor thing ...And then these two small kids (must be 8 or 9) were going by on their bicycles...and they just stopped in their tracks ..got off the cycles ..and started playing with the puppy and cuddling it. That was a sight to remember...that was innocence at its best...!!

Growing up as we know it, has its share of pros and cons... But the thing I hate the most about growing up is the loss of innocence. Welcome to the real world they say ...welcome to the world of sex , crime , corruption , malice , jealousy..You name it !! And then BANG ..!! ...outta no where ...U witness this awesome pure deed of kindness that really melts your heart , and makes you wish you were a kid all over again.

Why didn't I follow my instincts ...Why didn't I go and meddle around with the little furball ?? If this had happened a few years back..I'm sure even I would have acted like the kids did.Was it the "EGO" that comes with growing up that stopped me?? Was it my mind ridiculing me ,saying "Go ahead, make a fool out of yourself by acting like a kid" and "yeah yeah...Do it for the chicks" !?

Why didnt I.... ??


Everybody will eventually grow up...But only a lucky few remain a child at heart..

Jack of all trades... ??

I love boring lectures....they actually give me the time to sit back and analyze what I've achieved in life...And what I have planned for the future. Today was one such day...Extremely warm weather...and really boring professors..!! As I sat in the classroom gazing out of the window...I started thinking ... What have I really achieved in life till now ?? Only a few months till I graduate and yet I cannot boast of a single major accomplishment? I've always felt that taking up "engineering" was the biggest mistake in my life.I should have been in something more creative ...like advertising or branding , filmmaking etc.. But its too late to switch now. I've resigned to the fate I've chosen...and there's no turning back.The thing that irritates me the most is that I haven't excelled in any field in particular.Almost like being a jack of all trades and master of none.The problem with me is that anything that's new and interesting totally catches my attention.. , so that actually limits the attention span I give to a particular subject. That's probably why I'm well versed in most things in life..But I cant really say that I've mastered any of them.My table is littered with half read novels ...books about languages ..which I've barely flipped through ...books about programming... covered with layers of dust..A brand new guitar lying in the corner of the room , a SLR camera with fungus on the lens...this list could go on and on ..!! They're all witnesses to my problem. This is a major issue and has been in the back of my mind for the past few days.I get distracted too easily... Anything new and interesting comes up ..and i'll find myself trying to figure it out. It's good in a way ...because you are always up to date and know a little of everything ...but not really helpful in practical situations.I really want to get rid of this habit and actually pick up something and complete it in time ..or atleast manage to be the best at what I do.If only life was actually that simple...

Rock On ...JaL !!

Hey...guess what ?! I'm gonna watch The Pakistani band "JAL" live in concert today. They're gonna be performing at Pyramid Lawns @ 6 p.m today. These guys are awesome...and if you've heard their tracks "WOH LAMHEY" and "AADAT" ..you'll know what i'm talking about. More Updates later...

Life Sucks !!

heyo folks !!

really sorry...havnt been able to update my shit for a long long time. Basically was just busy with the business school admissions ...and also busy with some friends who had come down from australia...plus some really depressing news on the "love" front. I mean...u think u really know someone ..and then they really show their hidden colours. Everything goes from all hunky dory to absolutely unbearable. Why does life have to be like this ? why does the person you love the most have to be someone you totally despise ?? Time changes everything ... You think thats its gonna be a great future together .. and then something happens and its all gone in a jiffy...!! I'm so fed up of all this .. I really wanna be alone for some time . Life sucks ...!!

Back 2 da base

Its just one of those days..When ur angry with the world..And everything in it !! You would too..If you were me.I just arrived back in pune today, called up 15
of my friends on their cellphones...And guess what..Not one of them picks up ! Not one of them..! I mean..What are the chances of that happening? Thats worse t
han the probablity of getting hit by an asteroid...! Either all of em are sleepin..Or else somebody's been spreading some no good news about me. I'm so mentally
irritated today..Guess i'll just dunk my head in the deep freeze and chill out for a bit, and i'll deal with those no good punks later. Grrrrrr.....
Its just one of those irritating days..

The chronicles of red-dick...

Ok. Christmas was fun.Went for the midnight mass on 24th night which started exactly at 12..And on till 2:30...(of which half the time i was napping with my eye
s open..).
After mass got over..And after all the traditional greeting and kissing (on the cheeks of course)..Sum friends n i organised an impromptu roadside party.Was a w
ay lot of fun than all those traditional dances they usually have on christmas eve.Really didnt seem to mind the fact that it was an all guy party..Coz where i
stay its still pretty orthodox n girls ar'nt allowed to stay out late.So we were about 30 friends all stone drunk n wailing away till the wee hours of the morni
ng.On the 25th...i.e christmas afternoon, got a call from some old classmates n made a plan to go partying that night.So 4 of ur headed to ugh place called "clu
b cubanas" at baga beach.The entry was a cool "one grand" ! (coz we were all stags of course..).but anyways..The good part was drinks were on the house.And that
s not a very good sign of things to come.Ended up getting totally slooshed..N wasted.Returned home at 6:30 am n had two face some heat from mom.Got another part
y to go to tonight.Gwad..I guess i'm gonna get burned out by the end of this week..
Life is so hectic out here.. LoL ;o)

Its party time..!!

Yes yes ..!! I'm still alive !! I'm finally back in goa..And boy o boy...Is it rocking out here or what ! The only sad thing is that my computer at home stopped
working.Took it to the pc-clinic and those guys tell me that the hard disk has crashed..! My stupid sis must have downloaded a virus or something.But how can i
be mad at her..? It's christmas right? A time for forgiving and forgetting... Bah..! Crap..! I want my internet back..!! Oh well..I kinda found out a way to bl
og from my mobile phone..And thats what i'm doing right now.With all my sailor-friends back from the ship..we've been drinking almost every day.If my calculatio
ns are correct..I've been drinking an average of 3.75 bottles of beer everyday..And yeah..The beer belly does make me look like a pregnant man.Well..Things have
been pretty hectic though.Still gotta decorate the christmas tree n put up the lights.Planning on going for midnight mass n then partying all night long. Whooo
o..Hoooo..!
Merry Christmas Everyone..!!

The Greatest Question Of All Time...

Hmmm...!! Who do you think "came" First ??
The chicken or the egg ?? ;)

Exam fever....

Well...its that time of the year again !! yep,you guessed it ....EXAMS !! Dammit !! I hate exams . How does a 3 hour paper on a subject determine how much knowledge i have about it ?? Its a crappy educational system we have down here. But , Alas...I cant fight it alone , so gotta play along with it for now,Which means i'll be busy till the 18th of this month. And then i'm headed home for xmas. Ooooh boy... !! Goa is a lotta fun during xmas, coz a majority of the people in goa are christians (unlike the rest of India). Plus a few of my friend from australia are coming down too, so its gonna be great fun hanging out with them ...

Arrrrgh !! here I go .. day dreaming again !! Time to get back to the books !!!

FOCUS BOY...FOCUS...!!

I've Never Felt This Lonely.....

Yes...I'm only human. I do feel lonely at times...In fact, I've been feeling this way for quite some time now. It could partly be because of the fact that my roomies have all gone on vacation and I'm all alone in the apartment , or because my girlfriends' out of station too, But the fact remains that I'm going through one of those so called "transition" phases where you feel that its ok to have friends and lovers...But you sometimes need a break from all that jazz.
Oh , how I long to sit by someone unknown and just talk to them , no strings attached..!! How I long to interact with people without that deja vu feeling..
I've been in search for such a person for a long time now , but have never really
gotten close to finding anyone who thinks the same. You might think ...Hey, I've got friends ..I can talk to them ?? But , that's not what it's about.
Friends are more of a social thing. Most of my friends are either people I've known because of my studies , or because of common friends.But the worst part about friends and girlfriends/boyfriends is that you know so much about them or they know so much about you ,that you tend to change your moods, conversations and judgments to suit them . Atleast that's the case with me .
I'm the type of person who loves "discovering" people through the art of conversation. There's nothing like sitting and chatting with an unknown person over a cup of coffee. The very fact that you don't know shit about him/her makes it all the more thrilling. But the trouble starts when you get to know a person too well. Things start getting boring and predictable. You don't feel like hanging around anymore. You long to get to know someone new. Somebody you can start discovering all over again. Someone you can relate to once again , without the fear of knowing what preconditioned response they're going to give you.. ..And then the whole vicious cycle starts all over again..

How I wish I could stop it there !! How I really do wish I could ...

Hic...Hic...Hurray ..!!

Nothing like 5 bottles of chilled beer on a hot sunny day !!

""Ladies of the evening
Drinking booze and mingling
Mashing to the music, I can do anything
Freaky dicky star speckles and pink butterflies
And life is nice, so nice.
I walk into a club and Ive found paradise
Im seeing stars, I cant believe my eyes

Oh my starry eyed surprise.....""

He Aint No Tooth-Fairy ...

Well , I finally decided that its time I did something about my aching tooth before it gets all festered and rotten and starts to stink !! (I'm sorry....Did I gross you out ??)


So anyways...I went dentist hunting today.I visited three of the really good ones and found that the serpentine queues outside their clinics weren't bcoz of autographs !! So impatient ol' me decided to try a little lesser known dentist. Actually this dude was recommended to me by a (soon to be dead) friend of mine. So I step into his clinic and , Whoa...Its empty..!! I get called in by the doc, And guess what , this guy actually looks like Gandalf the wizard, from the lord of the rings trilogy... (minus the staff , of course...)



And before i could say abracadabra , there I was in the dentists chair, wondering what made me get into this mess. It's not that I didn't trust him or anything , it was his equipment...

I mean , this guys equipment looked like a blast from the past. I'm so used to the pristine white leather-coated , hi-tech chairs the other dentists have ,...and this one looked like it was used to fry some heads at the state prison.




I was getting a very negative vibe about the place .It Looked like a classic scene from a Frankenstien movie.The only things missing were the lightning in the sky, and the leather straps to bind me to the chair , which I suspected were stored in a creepy looking black safe in the corner of the room.

And don't you just hate it when the dentists try to start up a conversation with you when you have your mouth wide open ?? How the hell are you supposed to reply back? Stupid irritating quacks !! Still , I was relieved when he told me that he wouldn't be doing anything today ,and said I'll have to get the tooth extracted, and gave me an appointment for tomorrow afternoon .

I'm still in two minds whether to go or not...
For all I know , he'll probably knock it out with a hammer ...



Why do I always have to get all the freaks ??

Operation Gas-em-all ....

Goodness Gracious me !! First it's spiders from my ass ...and today i chipped a bit of my tooth too. Damm...!! Somebody must really hate me up there . I was just chewing on some bubble gum and something went CRUNCH... !! Looked into the gum and saw a peice of my molar snugly nested in there.At this rate ...i'm gonna be looking like this pretty soon ...



Anyways ..so since i figured out that i'm gonna turn into a toothless crooked old bum pretty soon, i thought of celebrating the fact by eating out at a sleazy kebab joint (mostly rumored to be the "bermuda triangle" for stray dogs, they just disappear when they're around the place )...



Well..the kebabs were pretty awesome. I must have finished like six of em.Was bloated to the core , but managed to ride home safely. But the trouble started as soon as i arrived home.My tummy started growling like a wild lioness in heat. After several trips to the loo, and a glass of rehydrating salts ,i'm feeling much better now, and It's safe to say that the loo has been quarantined, and my oh-so-helpful roomies have put "BIOHAZARD" stickers all over it.



Grrrr... !! Those Cretins.. !! I'm gonna get back at them real bad someday.
But to think of it , I probably would have been in great demand during world war II . They sure could have used me in the concentration camps to gas out prisoners.
Silent ...but lethal !! Or instead they could have used my farts to gas out hiroshima . Whoa... !! Get a load of this ...Countries would be building stockpiles of my Stinkers !! How awesome is that ?? To know that the power to make or break a nation vests purely in your hands ....errr....Bowels !! Sure is a comforting thought , aint it.... ??

Sigh.....!!! I'm just born in the wrong era ....

My spidey senses are tingling ...

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO IF YOU FIND A SPIDER UP YOUR ASS??

Believe me or not!! I was cleaning up with sum toilet paper after going to the loo and ...and look who i found...



Now this might not be the exact image ...but yeah, it was almost like it. I don’t know if it was on the paper before i used it.. or it was in my pants..
but YEEEEEOOOOOW !!...finding a spider in my ass gave me the creeps !!
What if I’m turning into a spider spawner or something ?? Have the spider-aliens from arachnidopolis chosen me as their host to breed and infect the world ??
Am i turning into an eight-legged freak ???

Spiderman, Spiderman
shitting spiders down the can
shits em out, any size
these hairy fellas aint so nice
look out here comes the Spiderman...



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGH ... !!!!

Gotta get myself examined !!

Die.... Muthafugger..... Die......!!!

Eeeeeeeeeyyaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!!!

KaBoooooom.... !!!

I know I'm a bit late to comment about the recent blasts in New Delhi ...But I've been having these thoughts in my mind , and I just had to vomit them out to ya. The very fact that these people must have never even imagined that it would be their last day on the face of the earth makes it even more gruesome. Okay ...You're walking down the road, doing some window-shopping.... And then BAMMMMM!! ...Your innards are all over the place!! Sick, Sick, Sick!! Don't these terrorists have a life?? Don't they have families?? How can someone just be so casual about killing others, just in order to make a point?? Psychopaths...!! Raving Lunatics !! But then I guess that's the way this world is supposed to be. We dont live in an utopian society, and the shock value of such gruesome and tragic events makes us realize how lucky we are to be watching the news, instead of being in it. Life goes on, with a silent prayer for those deceased, and hope that there isn't a bomb somewhere with your name written on it.

Happy Halloween.....

Trick or Treat ??? You decide......

The Germans are coming....

The European Commission
has just announced an agreement whereby
English will be the Official Language of
the EU rather than German, which was the
other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's
government has conceded that English
spelling had some room for improvement
and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan
that would be know as "EuroEnglish".

In the first year, "s" will replace the
soft "c". Sertainly this will make the
sivil servants jump for joy.

The hard "C" will be dropped in favor of
the "k". This should klear up konfusion
and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm
in the sekond year, when the troublesome
"ph" will be replased with the "f".

This will make words like "fotograf" 20%
shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the
new spelling kan be expekted to reach the
stage where more komplikated changes are
possible. Governments will enkourage the
removal of double letters, which have
always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also al wil agre that the horible mes of
the silent "e" sin the language is
disraseful and they should go away.

By the 4th year, peopl wil be reseptiv
to steps such as replasing "th" with "z"
and"w" with "v".

During the fifz year, ze unesesary "o"
kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou"
and similar changes vud of kors be aplid
to ozer combinations of leters.

After the fifz yer, ve wil hav a reli
sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor
trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil
find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.

Ze Drem Vil Finali Kum Tru!!
And Zen Ve Vil Take Over Ze Vorld!!

Sleeping in church....

This is a really funny joke i read on one of the humor websites..


A man approached the minister at his church….”Reverend,” he said, “We have a problem. My wife keeps falling asleep during your sermons. It’s very embarrassing, not to mention disrespectful. What can I do?”

“I’ve noticed this and have an idea if you’re up to the task,” said the minister. “Take this hat pin with you. I can see when Mrs. Jones is sleeping, and will motion to you. When I motion, you give her a good Poke in the leg with the hat pin.

He agreed to the plan. In church the following Sunday, Mrs. Jones dozed off. Noticing this, the preacher put his plan to work. “And who made the ultimate sacrifice for you?” he said nodding to Mr. Jones.

“Jesus!” Mrs. Jones cried out as her husband jabbed her in the leg with the sharp hat pin.

“Yes! You are correct, Mrs. Jones!” came the minister’s quick reply.

Mrs. Jones then turned and glared angrily at her husband. Mrs. Jones again nodded off. The minister noticed. “Who is your redeemer?” he asked the congregation, motioning toward Mr. Jones.

“My God!” howled Mrs. Jones as she was stuck again with the pin.

“Right again!” Bellowed the minister, a slight grin on his face.

Mrs. Jones again gave her husband a real hard threatening glare. Before long, though, she again nodded off. This time however, the minister did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of his sermon, he made a few hand gestures that Mr. Jones mistook as signals to sharply poke his wife with the hat pin again.

The minister asked, “And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore him his 99th son?”

Mrs. Jones jumped up and shouted, “You stick that thing in me one more time and I’ll break it in half and shove it up your ass!”

“Amen!” replied all the women in the congregation.
