Orgasms of a dial up modem

The noises a dial up modem makes wen establishing a connection, seem to be like the mating calls of birds of some kind.....or may be even screams of ecstasy, as if the modem was having waves of orgasm.


U might feel like askin....y n wat made me think dis way?

Last week, I was disgusted with the IT dept and the their tall claims......they provide us with 24*7 internet "suffering"(no this is not a typo.....this wat the IT dept had used to describe their selfless service in one of their sermonizing mails). I missed my ghar ka conxn....unlimited downloads(ah!! downloads, dats sumthn every MICAn craves for), great speeds n all. In that nostalgic moment, I went back to the late 90's wen I started using Internet at home.


The good old dial up conxn......the whole ritual of getting connected was so enchanting....type in ur username password....wait for the modem to start up.....mate with the ISP and then wen it had had its sweet release....u cld start surfin.

The wait was so gripping, I wld keenly listen to every note the modem crooned and tried to make sense of it. I wondered if it was trying to talk to me? If it was trying to tell me a tale?


Sometimes I wish we dint have so many technological advances and that time could stand still, but then I quickly snap out of it, I need my download speed, want my mp3s and softies in a jiffy.

But then again, I'm at MICA................hafta deal with BLOCKED DOWNLOADS

The dreaded page.

A Month into the 1st term

Alrite.....really long break.....been busy.

As soon as i landed on campus after the break, the first words i heard were "behenchod niche dekh". Dose words brought back memories of first yr of engg, n I knew it was gonna be one helluva time for the next few days; ragging had begun, was fun to a large extent but then ended abruptly. A sad end to an intresting lil period. Dont wanna divulge trade secrets so wont describe the ragging.

Classes had also begun and we were officially in MICA now, assignments,quizes pre-reads etc etc etc. And in the nights were the umpteen committee presentations n elections(I'm part of compcomm btw). Sleepless nights followed by harrowing classes. After the leisurely life at engg, It was a lil hard for me to adjust to this kind of lifestyle, but everything is fine now. After the initial "disturbance", everything has fallen into a nic lil rhythm nw.


One exciting course was the transcreativity workshop it included martial arts, music, dance, fengshui, pottery and was a one of a kind experience. This workshop gives a new direction to ur life and opens up many avenues that u never knew existed.

(Holi after the workshop was ova)

In the meanwhile we put up a cul nite for the seniors, had very lil time to practice, but v did a pretty gud job.


Guitar lessons have begun, I've mastered the E-Major chord, but sadly thats the only chord that I can play rite nw, n there are only so many variations u can do. Hope to pick mre stf up soon.



29/7/2007: Freshers <:-p

(Me n my roomie before the freshers)

The seniors had put up a cul nite for us, it was fab and what followed was an amazing party that went on till 6am.I was one of the few who danced all night.

Every junior was assigned a senior as date. Was gud fun to buy gifts, go pick ur dates up frm their rooms and escort them to the party.

(Me n my date Aditi)

The aftermath: Palaash was completely silent apart frm the snores that came frm every single room. The hostel wore a deserted look for almost 12 hrs. This was the first time, this happened since we got here.





All along we've had tons of assignments to do and right now I have a report to submit :((

Thats it from all of us here, until next time.


P.S. Own composition coming soon.
