>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
BJ

>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: “THE 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

>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 🙁 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 🙂

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 🙂

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

>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 🙁

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

Hi everyone,
Last week i had my mid xams, so could not post 🙁 Even the motherboard of my pc has screwed up, so internet cafe’s are the only respite…
Anyways, the mid xams were good and now i m burning the proverbial midnight oil for the sems( This is the only time of the sem that i study)..and after the sem, i m off 2 the Industrial tour, with my classmates, for 10 days from nov 7th.. wow!! i m so excited..

Abt the ind. tour: v r goin 2 Bangalore, mysore, ooty and Chennai( No, it is not a honemoon package, as mocked by our HOD).. We will be off 2 b’lore on 7th, and visit the places in the above specified order.. wheeela!! I m dying 2 c B’lore, after all those raving reviews that i got 4m my cousins and friends.. I m raring 2 step into the IIM and INFOSYS, 4 the time being, as a visitor only…

You must b wondering abt the misplaced pic at the header.. Well last week( just b4 the mids), i went 2 the DANDIYA NITE, at TAJ residency, on my friends insistence.. It rocked!!.. Initially, i decided 2 go just one day of the 5 days, but eventually got tempted to go one more day.. V here in Vizag are lucky 2 escape 4m any blanket timing( like 10pm in Mumbai).. V partied away( if i m allowed to call it that), late nights.. and returned home only after 3AM??

Inspite of my initial appprehensions,that i would get bored, It was really exciting.. Once you get on to the dance floor, u get addicted( What with so many good looking females out there as partners).. I really enjoyed, more so the second day, when i had made a couple of new friends, and could b in a group…

Even though i tried not making any comments on the ppl there, my instincts did not stop me, so here are a few observations abt the junta:

Main madhuri dikshit banna chahti hoon!!
There are this typical girls who perhaps have spent more than Rs.1,000 to dress up for this five-day festival( The organising society here does it for 5, instead of the customary 9 days). They are armed with all the essential Ingredients: A designer wardrobe, a skin clinic back-rub, lots of hours spent at the beauty parlour and formal dance training a month before the festival starts. All this for that one goal: “Best Dressed Female Dancer”.

Gym-junta
Step1-Step2-Step3 and turn around. This particular type although here to play Dandiya ends up doing some kind of a P.T exercise like the ones you did in school. No smile, no enthusiasm or the excitement of the music. It’s more like the rhythm of the music just moving the body like a robot. I was in this category, a couple of years ago.

Abhi to main jawan hoon..
Age no bar, this old generation is here to dance till their legs hurt and backs break. I have noticed this one particular old lady who dances right from the start to finish of the round( aroud 1 hr) and is present again , rejuvenated for the next round.( Wonder where she gets all the energy from??.. hats off to u ma’am)

Made for each other
Dressed in the most authentic attire for the night, this couple will be dancing like a pair from Bollywood movies. Steps perfect to the T and above all, a wide smile to top it up. Award: “BEST COUPLE FOR THE NIGHT”.

Disco Dandiya
There are some of these boys and girls( most of them from HSBC call center), who know not a thing about Dandiya, but manage to shake a leg or two,albeit in the Disco style.. Can’t blame them, V – the gen X, are more familiar with that kind of dance.. Anyways, their enthu to learn the traditional dance need to be commended…

Then, there is this Garba round- the philosophy of which is still out of my comprehension.. er!!. Everyone gathers to form a large circle, and move their entire body like a drunken person in a circular kind of a chain.. the same thing happens for quite a large number of ciircles, until everyone including the band ppl are exhausted.. aagh!! Yes the steps seem 2 b rythmic to the beat, but i could never get over it.. pooh!!

And of course, then there is this other type which makes up for the huge crowd who has come there with the only intention to “watch” the above mentioned types. “No playing and no dancing – STRICTLY NO.That is for the kids, let them njoi, while i sip my drink…”

That was all about the DANDIYA RAS nite.. I m off 4 now, and would b back soon after these horrid xams( when will our educa’SHUN’ systm shun off its false perceptions??)

ps: thanks 2 all my blog readers, 4 their continued patronge by making the counter reach 200( a new high – Sensex style)..It took less than 2 months to reach this, after surpassing the 100 landmark.. Once again thank you all, I promise to continue with the same zeal…

best of luck,
BJ
