  • >My cousin’s wedding

    >Well, okay I admit, once again i have been too late in posting and this time I m to be blamed for not learning the art of time management well. All these days were so hectic that my poor soul could’n sanction enough time to write anythin’.. Now, what kept me engrossed for so long?? – My cousin’s wedding in JAN( He stays in the opposite appartment, thus making it compulsory for me to be closely involved), trip to IIT Kharagpur( Kshitij’06, their Annual techno management fest), and the usual college grind( which I bunked for most of the month)..

    About my cousin’s wedding. it was on 23rd Jan and we had relatives come all the way from Washington, London, Dubai, and ofcourse Jaipur and some nearby places. So hosting them was no joke. To top it, my brother also took leave and was with us for 4 days( Spent hours chatting to him, and sermonizing him about the importance of Entrance exams). By the way, my brother, Jatin is 3 years younger to me, and would be appearing in his Engg. entrance test. Back to the wedding, It took place at the GURUDWARA, followed up by a reception at Hotel Daspalla. Oops, forgot to mention the engagement ceremony on 22nd. It was a cocktail party with a limited number of people being invited. it was a rockin party, with most of my cousin( Me included) gettin fully drunk, and getting back home in a chauffer driven car.

    The marriage day was rather ceremonious, and i got the chance to be the best man for the wedding. So, I had to remain glued to the bridegroom( My cousin), and wear a plastic smile on my face all evening. After the wedding, I, along with my still bachelor cousins went to the coffee shop at 2AM in the night( or was it early morning). Yes, bachelor life is surely fun!! After the wedding day, the responsibilty of escorting the newly wed couple to the airport, sending them off for honeymoon, was thrust upon me and my cousin Jeetu( 2 years elder to me). In the evening, all of us Youth batch, comprising me, my brother, My 2 male and 2 female cousins, set out for a long drive which had become common those days. We drove till Rushikonda, with the stereo blasting full music and attracting attention of those passing by. We 6, scaled the entire city those 4 days, in Jeetu’s new Hyundai Santro. We went to cafe coffee day and smoked Hookah, tried to go Chrome( the local pub) and 10D but later realised that it was a dry day( Republic day), had regular visits to Fresh Choice for a black Coffe, and had become addicted to midnight coffee. On the whole it was a rockin time.. and everyone gelled well with each other. it was a memorable period of my life.

    After that, it ws the same routine, back to the college, after an extended holiday. and here I was again off, to IIT Kharagpur on 31st. More about it in the next post.

    Adios

  • >Visakha Utsav

    >Hi everyone, and a happy BAKRID to all of u…

    Well, no CAT class so i m here, at an internet cafe, unwillin 2 go home.. U know what?? i think i m addicted to the web!! otherwise what would explain my frequent tendency 2 catch on a computer with a internet connection, anywhere, anytime, wherever i go.. I mean, maybe i would prefer the net 2 a girlfriend( This is surely sn exaggeration)….

    Anyways, enough of my musings of the “WWW”.. Been to the visakha utsav, and 2 say the least it was wonderful.. It was very crowded, and obviously very noisy, but it was worth it. The fireworks, the ppl, the shows, the various events and the ramblings of the whos-who of the city all at one place.. It has become the talk of the town!! Inspite of it being postponed twice, it has not dampened the spirit at all… curious 2 have a peek into the snaps?? TAKE A LOOOK
    If possible, be there and u will, for once, not regret my suggestion…

    Hey, read this... so boozing is afterall not so harmful..hey!! hey!!..

    luv – n – luck

  • >Why a blog??

    >I was wondering why do i blog, after all?? and came up with the follwing reasons…

    -Timepass (as I mentioned before…I am preoccupiedly jobless, or so)
    -Claim to fame (I am hoping that one day my weblog will be published as a book. My suggestion for the title: β€œTHE INCREDIBLE MEMOIRS OF YOU-KNOW-WHO”(no. 1 best seller by the NEWYORK TIMES)
    -Typing practice (much needed)
    -Desire to leave my footprint on the world

    V have 2 weeks of hols( quite borin, i should say.. :-D).
    Bye 4 now, varun is waitin 4 me.. and i need 2 rush off…

    By the way,
    HAPPY NEW YEAR,
    BJ

  • >My life

    >Nope, this post has nothing to do with Bill clinton’s autobiography..

    Okay okay, one more late post and here i m musing around with Clinton!!, but this time the lethargy was intended… Well 4 my own reasons i wanted 2 discontinue my blog πŸ™ but i guess there r somethings which u just can’t b without.. somethins which u can’t b displeased 4 long..and probably the BLOG is one of those…..

    Read this article on the net, v have one xtra second this year, and that, it seems, is reason 2 rejoice!! well 1 sec does matter, probably…

    Lots of things hav happened in this month.. and the best part, or the best news, that i have heard in years is ” I have Passed”.. yes, the sem xams( my last post), which i was sure would let me down, turned out 2 b favourable..I hav scored a decent 8.00 GPA. ofcourse, could manage only a D in the lic xam.. :D. Anyways, this implies that i m still in the run 4 the ensuing campus placements:). one more sem. and inshallah i may land up wid a job( hopefully INFOSYS).. that was on the acads side…

    Done a lot of readin the past month, what with all the time in this world and no substantial work 2 do.. Read
    1. Deception point
    2. one night @ the call center
    3. harry potter – 1( again, this time on the comp)
    and some light ones..
    presently, am engrossed in THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy…

    On the lighter side, it is just a month or so that i m back 4m the tour,and there is already one more in the pipeline… V have planned, or decided to go to IITKGP, 2 participate in KSHITIJ, their annual techn management fest… hope it rocks πŸ™‚

    lastly,on the personal front, my life has been running on a somewhat better note( touchwood).. it has been a rockin time with the opp. gender(pun intended), and even i feel a change in my persone, more confident than ever, more demanding, and more DIGNIFIED…. it feels good πŸ™‚

    Thats all 4 da day, i promise my nxt post will b very soon…
    luv,
    BJ

  • >The damn lab externals

    >Hello guys, and sorry 4 the late post.. I was out on a tour( Called Industrial tour, with only 2 industries in 9 days!!..).. Later about the tour, actually hav tyoed it all on my comp, but as the net connection at home is down.. will hav 2 get it into a memory stick and post it here.. Sorry πŸ™

    This post is about the sucked lab externals v had the past 2 days.. I mean common guys after a fortnight break from studies, and a long trip.. Who the **** remembers the circuits – which capacitor goes where, and the pin diagram of a 555 timer.. It was all blanked out, and one night of prep was not at all sufficient, and with luck against you, u can’t expect anythin’ more worse..

    V had LIC lab on sat, and i got 2 do ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR.. i did not even know the circuit diag.. i struggled hard, and after a few passes, and one hour could finally arrive at the right circuit.. The apparatus( probably been there right from the inception of the coll), were given and even after fiddling with them 4 around tree hrs, the CRO did not show any signs of movement.. It was adamnant to fail me, and lo! it has probably succeeded.. Ma’am after exhausting all her patience, finally asked me 2 giv up, and tere 4 the first time in my life – in a lab xam – i did not get the output( Now i understand how ppl feel when things don’t go their way)..

    The viva after that was equally sick, with me being able 2 answer just around 40% of the questions.. So it all got screwed up, and now i stand at the juncture of failing in the lab :(( Can’t help, my impeccable record, may be broken, and there may b a red star on my certificate…

    Sorry guys, i did’nt exactly want 2 post this, but wanted something 2 rest my sobbing head on.. so this post..

    Amen,
    BJ
