Happy New Year

So the New Year has finally come. I guess I am late in writing this blog. Anyways, I was excited about it and was really looking forward to it…the first few months really matters a lot to me. I hope I am able to accomplish what I want this year…..a crucial year for me indeed. And yeah I have some New Year resolutions…

To fulfill resolutions of previous years. Ha ha.

Jokes apart,

I will work so damn hard to get into a reputed B-school as this is the only thing which I require now to achieve what I always dreamt of.

Stop fooling around and wasting my time.

Learn to say “NO” to others…I consider this as my weakness….So I am not gonna succumb to importuning requests of others anymore.

Blunt to some of the people I know….enough being a nice person to them.

Let’s see how many of these I am able to fulfill this year. Hope it turns out to be an awesome year for me and to the rest of the people out there.” HAPPY NEW YEAR” folks.

Merry Christmas

In many countries of the world, the celebration of Christmas on December 25th is a high point of the year. Since about 400 AD, Christians have celebrated the birth of Jesus.



Today in the West, not many people consider the religious meaning to Christmas. It has become a busy race to spend money on presents, and get ready for the Day. Christmas Day is a time for eating and drinking too much and watching television. Well I do this too….well except the drinking part….In fact I passed the day by seeing all the Christmas cheers serials on star world….they were awesome….especially “According to Jim”.

Many people do hope for more than presents at Christmas. We want to somehow return to a time in our childhood (or some other good time in the past), when life was simpler and made more sense, before the troubles of adult life arrived. We feel sure that behind all the fun and decorations, there must somehow be a message, something more, some key to life, hope and happiness.

Colored lights decorate many town centers and shops, along with shiny decorations, and artificial snow painted on shop windows.

In streets and shops, 'Christmas trees' (real or plastic evergreen 'conifer' trees) will also be decorated with lights and Christmas ornaments. Shopping centers become busier as December approaches and often stay open till late. Shopping centre speaker systems will play Christmas 'carols' - the traditional Christmas Christian songs. Most places of work will hold a short Christmas party about a week before Christmas.



'Father Christmas' (or 'Santa Claus') has become the human face of Christmas. Pictures will be seen everywhere of the old man with long white beard, red coat, and bag of toys. Children are taught that he brings them presents the night before Christmas, and many children up to the age of 7 or 8 really believe this is true. In most countries, it is said that he lives near the North Pole, and arrives through the sky on a sledge (snow-cart) pulled by reindeer. He comes into houses down the chimney at midnight and places presents for the children in socks or bags by their beds or in front of the family Christmas tree. In shops or at children's parties, someone will dress up as Father Christmas and give small presents to children, or ask them what gifts they want for Christmas. Christmas can be a time of magic and excitement for children.

As Christmas is here….so New year can’t be far behind…whew….I can’t believe 2008 is about to come to an end.

Tips for grad school success

Yeah I wanna share with you the secrets for success in any goddamn school you are in.

So here we go-

Be attentive in your lectures.

Stop fooling around with others.

Be mediocre and don’t try to go against the system…..this is real life man.

Be persuasive and consistent.

Become a stoic…a bit…not completely.

Don’t be a nerd too.

Have a passion to achieve something.

Try Cajoling…sometimes it helps to get things done too.

And most important of all—“STOP WASTING YOUR TIME READING ALL THE BULLSHIT I HAVE WRITTEN ABOVE”…..HAHA….got ya…. I am not your teacher aur guru bacha!!

Friends

Hey I am talking about friends serial here. I do believe that it’s one of the best serials that could ever come on air. Everything about it is so good…..the concept…the direction….the actors.

I have been watching it for many years now. In fact I don’t miss repeated shows of it too.

Of all the characters-Rachel….Monica….Ross.....Joey....Chandler…..PheeBee. I think the one whom I like the most is of Chandler. His facial expressions are too good man. Though everybody has got some peculiar characteristic like-

Monica playing the role of a crazy gal who wants everything to be very clean. I still remember that episode in which she was cleaning a vacuum cleaner with a hair drier and was wishing that if there could be something to clean that hair drier too.

Ross…Monica’s brother….his expressions when he found out that his wife was a lesbian…and yeah when he caught Rachel and joey kissing each other. He is also possessive about dinosaurs as Monica is about cleaning.

Joey….a struggling actor….his acting would make you laugh for sure. Like others he has also some issues….like he keep on forgetting things…..he can’t share food….likes eating too much…..and understands things a bit later than others…I guess tube light is the word for it.

Chandler…well my favorite character…he’s smart looking guy….who desperately wants a girlfriend after dumping…well you know the person…lemme give u a hint…”OH MY GOD” followed by chuckling sound. I liked earlier episodes of him too much…when he had a habit of smoking…the way he smoked….panache…and the ways he used to find out to smoke so that he won’t get caught.

Pheebee…I think she is the weakest link in all of them….her role is like a sidekick. But she is also good in her own ways. I think the episode in which I liked her most was the one in which her brother came to meet her for the first time and she took her to her massage parlor…those of you who watched that episode know what happened next.

Rachel… the cutest gal in the show. Who could possibly resist her? She has also done more or less well in all the episodes.

I have grown up watching this serial and it’s been quite a long time now. I wish I could have a similar kinda life. Whew…I have written too much today…c ya.

Man about town

This is the name of a picture which I saw few months ago. It’s storyline is just superb. It’s about a self made man (character being played by Ben Affleck). Ben is a member of the board of directors of an advertising agency. Everything was going fine for him. He had a very important client but for the past few days he was not replying to him. So he got worried and went to see him in his office. There the client tried to give him a blind eye. Bedazzled by the situation he came back home. The same night his wife confessed to him that she was having an affair with his client. Listening to it, he got agitated and told his wife to get the hell out of his life. His wife was really guilty for her doings and asked Ben to forgive her, but he didn’t listen to her. He then decided that no matter whatever happens he won’t work with this client anymore no matter how important he was. But the other members of the board were not willing to put the business at stake for his personnel thing. So he had to continue doing work with him. Feeling helpless and lonely, he peeped into his past and remembered of his childhood days. At that point of time he used to love a girl of his class. They used to hang out together but one day when he called her to his home the girl fell for his brother. So Ben had an emotional breakdown and complained to his mother about the situation. The situation got worse and his family members started quarreling everyday. His father blamed Ben for the quarrels in the family. One day when the situation got completely out of the hand his mother decided to take Ben’s brother to the girl’s place to finally decide whom the girl wants to be with. But on their way to the girl’s place they met with an accident and his brother died in the accident. His father left his mother and hated Ben for situation turning out this way. So basically he never had anyone who really loved him. Coming back from the flashback…….in the present, as days passed, he got accustomed to the situation. Also Ben had a habit of going to a group therapy program where he used to discuss his problems. There was a press reporter too in the same group. Somehow he got hold off the Ben’s personnel diary and started blackmailing him that she would publish the story in the paper unless he offers her a job in his advertising agency. Ben tried many times to get his diary back from the reporter but all his efforts went into vain. In the end it was his wife who helped him in resolving his problems. Ben finally forgives her and his client believing that nobody in this world is perfect….whew…one hell of a story….don’t know about others but I really liked it….I would say that this movie is for sensible persons. So people do see it whenever u could find some time….happy watching!!!!

Wedding Fever

Looks like the town is gripped in the above said fever these days. Hell…Is the whole world getting married these days? I think in the past few weeks I attended 5 weddings or so. Earning time for pundits definitely!!! It was great fun attending them. I really enjoyed going to the venues in the bus with family members and friends….it was a very joyful ride indeed. My neighbours daughter also got married…she was like a sister to me.. I have known her from my childhood. I guess she was 7 years older than me but instead of the age gap we were very good friends. Time passed really quickly man….I still can’t believe she is married now. It was just yesterday that she took admission in a college. Now that she has gone….I wonder whether I am gonna see her again or not cause I think they are moving to Boston. Still as she is very happy then so am I. Nearly every dude’s n gals are married in my locality now..what’s the craze man…I donno…god bless u!!!!

In a fix

These days clouds of uncertainty are raining heavily over my bed. My college is gonna be over in few months and now I am in a quandary….What’s Next!!!. Nothing is planned. I donno what I am going to do after graduation. A job or an MBA. I donno where am I am headed. Hell…there are a zillion things I don’t know. I just could not concentrate on anything. Nothing seems to amuse me these days. I think that song of Greenday would fit perfectly on my situation….” I walk a lonely road the only one I have ever known…. don’t know where it goes….still I walk alone…na na”.Well still there is a happy feeling that at least now I am going to have a graduation degree. It looked to me in the past that this college is never gonna end. I don’t think it was worth coming to this college. Finally naam ka engineer ab ban jaunga. Past three and a half years were like hell for me. I am eagerly waiting to get the hell outta my college. Staying in a college for 4 years is too much man. Now I am going to have a chance to do something new. I have always liked going to new places…making new friends. I just can’t stay at a particular place for long period of time. I don’t know how others manages to do so. I wonder how am I gonna to stick to a particular company. Pata nai kis company ko apna diwala nikalna hai mujhe rakh kar. Also I can’t do that bloody 9-5 naukri I don’t want to become a moron like others. I want a job which would take me to different parts of the world. I cherish going to new places and have a feel of different cultures. I wonder whether my desires would get fulfilled or not. Let’s see. I am trying to remain optimistic assuring myself by thinking that God has something in mind for each and every one of us ( If there’s a God ).See how optimistic I am J. Hell I am not the worst person alive on this earth…so waiting for my time to come to seize the opportunity as it comes my way. This world never gives you anything …you have to snatch it from others.

Human Nature

I have a habit of pondering over bizarre things. This is the latest one that I have to offer. Yesterday while I was sitting in my balcony I was trying to figure out why we do not value the things we posses and always crave for the things which are hard to get. Is it due to insatiable yearnings of ours? So, I introspected myself and found out that I was no different from others. I can give you plethora of examples from my life too…I think nearly 5 years ago while I was in 12th I desperately wanted to get into an engineering ( which I am in right now ) college. I think that at that point of time this was the only thing which I cared about. I worked day and night to achieve my aim and then the hard work paid off. But do you want to know what’s my perspective now…I don’t give a damn that I am a student of this college…and can you believe I was dying to get into it. I think this is the best example that I can put in front of you people to support my topic. Just to cite some more examples… I had yearnings to possess cell, lapi, ipod, x-box. Now when I have them I don’t even care about them. So I guess as soon as we are in possession of an item it’s just a matter of days that we stop valuing it. I talked to my friends about it too and I guess we were on the same page. What about you? Are you having any similar views? I bet you are…Well I guess it’s human nature….to chase unfulfilled dreams and to do things which are tabooed. Had there been no such pursuits I think we would have lost the desire to live….What say?

My hit-list ( jerks in my life )

There are many kinds of people I have come across till now. Some were very adorable. N I always get nostalgic when I remember them. On the other side…..some were really a pain in d a**. I curse the day I met them. But then what one can do….society is an amalgam of such kind of personnel.

Here’s a list of some of the persons....without dem my life would have been much better -

1.A professor of my last sem. I hate him more than anyone in this world. Just can’t stand his cocky smile.

2. Two three jerks of my class. They just can’t listen to anybody. Always goes against the wind.

3. A teacher of my school.I hate authoritative bimbo’s like her.

4. All the monkeys who had given me advice in the past….oh u should do this…no no you should not do that….suckers who was asking for your bloody opinions. I just hate advices and opinions. Hell I would do whatever I want to do. I just don’t like anybody interfering in my life..mind your own goddamn business…will u…

5. All the people who tried to discourage me in the past….n refrained me from doing what I am doing now.

6. This is for the people whom I am yet to meet. You certainly don’t wanna be in this list, do you?

Someone amongst you might be thinking that I am cursing everybody…whom I have left..Well it’s not like that….I love more people than I hate.
