One Rainy Night

It was pouring heavily. It was night. It was dark outside. I was in my living room alone, watching TV. There was thunder and lightning outside. I was safe in the warmth of the house. And then suddenly, there was a huge bolt of lightning, a huge thunder in the sky. There was a flash on the tv screen. And the house went dark. And that's house my TV stopped working. The tripper had tripped, so we got power back pretty soon... except the TV dint work...until the Onida guy came over 3 days later....

Status

"Rang De Basanti..........naam lete hi akha India ko aamir khan ya sharman joshi yaaad ata hai...sala kisi ko bhi Bhagat singh,Sukh dev ya Raj guru yaad nahi ata....bole to kya durgatti ho gayeli hai mamu....." That's the status msg (on gtalk )of a frn of mine today... it seemed so right... after all the patriotism that Rang de Basanti tried to put into us, this is what is left... sad... hmmm... these status msges... they convey so much... i shud have blogged them out during the end sems... some were funny.. some were sad... some were jus blant.... my fav was ( i tried to recollect the exact words.. i might have failed ) " God said let their be light.. i said lite ra mamma..." My status msg should just be "Single" :)

Books Books Books

- it was the BQC title song I guess I used to read a lot of books Started with ( in order ) Nancy Drew : case files Nancy Drew : mystery stories Famous Five The Three Investigators Hardy Boys Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Super mystery Sweet Valley University Series Sydney Sheldon Jeffrey Archer Harry Potter Series And then it ended. I started reading some arbit books. You know, the so called best sellers Some of them were good; like Atlas Shrugged ( hmmm...it’s for women passionate abt success ) The Alchemist ( everyone who believes in magic should read this one ) Wheels ( I call it the mech engg fairytale ) (wow I cant think of anymore) Some of them were boring; like LOTR Five Point Someone One Night @ Call centre Fountain Head Airport ( these are the books I started reading... but couldn’t finish ) May be I couldn’t finish them coz I grew out of them. I mean, I liked some books, and when the same author writes another in the same style, I didn’t like. May be if I read my fav books agai

A Magical Journey to your Dream

A wonderful book. It’s sweet and simple. It’s straight and normal. It’s magical and amazing. It’s the one of the best I’ve read. It’s called The Alchemist It’s about hope. It’s about never giving up. It’s about struggle. But more importantly, it’s about dreams that come true. For me a lot many dreams have come true. Simple as they may be, they’ve come true in a slightly modified way. Little things in life that I have wished for have happened. But I didn’t realize that immediately. I feel that it happens to everyone. The story “The Alchemist” seems to me like it happens to us all the time. All we have to do is look at the world differently. It’s magical alright. Open your eyes and look around. You’ll see magic everywhere. And I mean it when I say “everywhere” !!!

Add on to these Ads

It was late in the night and I was watching TV. But apparently there was nothing good on it and the only notable things was the advertisements. I was watching this Ray-ban ad and it made no sense. Then I came up with this idea to see what I thought about each of the ads I saw next. Here’s a compilation: Ray-ban – doesn’t make sense Vim – concept is too lame; the ad depended on stardom Nivea Men – straight to the point; good ad Dove hair care – I dunno if he’d ever realize ¼ “moisturizing milk” is actually oily Pantene conditioner – duh... ½ ? like 1/4th wasn’t enough Johny Players – again based on stardom alone Sony Ericsson – thump thump thump ;) Nokia N95 – studd... but seriously if I am looking for a comp, wud I go for Nokia ? HCL – good concept but poor portrayal Microsoft – studd ad man!! Ira – trying too hard to impress I’d say Nakshatra – classic camera, but again... sli too much Cornetto – cute ! Bingo – putting psuede Big Bubble – though it makes no sense, it’s the

11 days ago

11 days ago 4th of May (Old Blogger physically dismantled - according to blogger) It was the last day of my end sems. I finished my g slot exam decently well and rolled into my mess. I had to eat fast so i can take a small nap before I go to the lib for my QMS meeting. 1 o'clock I was in lib waiting for everyone else to turn up. The meeting went on and everything was fine. It was about 3 when Supreeta wanted to get all the files lying in her room and give it away to us. I accompanied her. Whom were we kidding? Those files were so heavy so we managed to get them till lib, dropped them outside. I called up one of my co coords and ask them all to come down and we could distribute the files among us. I called them from my cell; my cellphone. Anyway Sup had to run to ganga and off she went, and Dasa wanted to go inside lib so went to the entrace area. I had to run up and get my purse and some other files that were left. We sat down near the entrance and sorted out all the files. Then su

I came I saw I saw more

Yeah... where were we before I was so rudely interrupted by my own joblessness? So we went to watch a movie in a movie house. Now that was a big deal coz we usually don’t. So it’s the family to watch a gult movie (obba). There was this almost a village locality around the next turn on the street. And there was also this theatre which played a good many gult movies. And there was this movie, a typical gult love story being played. So seemed like a good one. Thought we’ll go for the night show Movie: “Aata” Lead Roles: Siddharth and Ileana (hope I spelt that right) 7:30pm – dad and I decide to pick up tickets for the four of us. 7:42pm – dad and I at the ticket counter. The ticket counter is not open yet and the show timings turned out to be 8:00 7:50pm – dad and I return home to pick up sis and leave instructions to join sis and myself at the entrance. 7:56pm – sis and I leave for tickets 7:58pm – sis and I waiting outside the entrance with four tickets. The tickets don’t have seat numb

I came I saw I gaped

So... we, my family, thought we’ll watch a movie!! In a movie theatre!!! For those of you who don’t know me continue reading, for the rest just jump to the next paragraph (which apparently ended up as the next post!). If you’re still reading, you don’t know me or you just want to read and find out what kinda blah I put to people who don’t know me. Let me assume that you belong to the former category, so I can speak any arbit nonsense and convince you that it’s true. Here goes: I love books. I am a bookworm. I am found with my books all the time, especially my course books. I study like mad. I am always in the library, studying. I use my computer only to Google out information about my courses or check my mail that comes from the elite clubs of astrophysics and fluid dynamics. As a result, like it happens with every other nerd in this world, I do not watch movies. I neither like them nor dislike them. I just do not have the time or patience to ponder over a movie story. I would rather s
