A fat loss regimen gone horribly wrong..thats what it is.
Gymming,sports were workin...fat loss beginin to show...n the lazy me discontinues it. Now a bigger paunch. Look like I'm pregnant with twins.
Ok thats enough self depreciation.

Staring into nothing
Have you ever just looked through things? I mean you look at something, your mind recognizes but doesn't register colours,shapes,forms,depth and all that. But nothing more than that....you just continue staring at/into thin air.
A mind devoid of thoughts......I see most people around me with thoughts running in their heads ...worried,happy,stressed,concerned,angry,sad....but when I'm blank like this...nothing...no emotions...no thoughts...just mere processing of information that my eyes pass on to my brain.
N lately,it's been happening to me quite often. It's very fascinating, when i snap out of it ( warning/disclaimer:I AM NOT ON ANY DRUGS....these are not trips or psychic visions). I wonder how this happens to me involuntarily, I guess this is my brain's/mind's way of chilling out...it's as if it says "fuck u I need a break n I'm gonna shutdown... n close myself off from the world around u"
N its very different from the lost in thoughts types stare...here you move around a little, scratch yourself etc but fundamentally its all blank. I dunno if this what happens when you meditate. But I don't think its the same thing.
It also gets me thinking.... if this how comatose people feel or if this how a newborn sees the world.
Do let me know if any of you have experienced anything similar.
P.s. not a 'feeling low' post...no pity or sympathy comments please

Amnesia
Its very funny not having any memories of a few hrs in your life.....its not like I've forgotten just that I absolutely have no memories.
Cause:Alcohol overdose.
Effect: No cognizance/memory of around 2 hrs in my life.
I'm not embarrassed or worried about what I might have done....but It's eerie feeling not knowing anything about those hrs.
What makes it worse is when ppl come up to u and ask u about that night n all u can manage is a sheepish grin. Different ppl have been telling me different things...n I dunno what to say....all I do is 'errrrrrr okkkkk'
Phew!!! Some night that!!!

8x10 की दुनिया
क्या मेरी दुनिया बस चंपा 4 तक ही सिमट कर रहगयी है?
क्या मैं बस लोगों को आते जाते, मेरी खिड़की के सामने से गुज़ृते हुए देखता ही रह जाऊंगा?
क्या मैं अपने आप में इतना खो गया हूँ की मुझे कोई और नज़र अत ही नही या फिर क्या इसीलिए मैं किसी को नज़र अता नही?
It's not just about feeling wanted or liked....its much more than that....it's as if I'm existing for no specific reason. For who,what and why am I? Does anybody need me at all? Do I need anybody? Do they really need to need to me? Does a loner like to be alone or is it that he has no choice but to be one????
At some level I'm to blame for this distance that I seem to have created between everybody else and me(or is it I???...don't really give a fuck about grammar right now). In trying to shield myself from all the things I don't like...I've insulated myself in my own little cocoon. In trying to become self sufficient ,self reliant, independent and happy with myself; I think I've alienated myself from everyone else.
I can't remember the last time I was truly happy or excited....no it's not like I'm leading a morose and stale life but there is definitely a lack of excitement. I mean the only time there is nothing on my mind is probably when I'm playing a sport, where I just focus on doing well and winning.
It's not that all is dark here....I enjoy the company of my girlfriend, think we have a pretty neat thing going........
.......but there is still something that's missing in my life or so I think/feel. Desperately need to know what that elusive something is?(may be it's just a stiff drink :P) I dunno sometimes I feel I'm being too demanding, aiming for perfection even where I don't need it.
Time to post this, shut the lid and stare at the ceiling as I lay down in my '8x10 ki duniya'.

Victim of 'Nek Irade'
How many times have we heard "Is duniya mein bhale/sharif admi ke liye koi jagah nahi"
yeah well that is how i feel right now. Well me with all my altruist n sometimes philanthropic irade go out of my way to make ppl feel comfortable or help them out n in the end i get blamed for causing harm to them. Simple things, innocius albeit unsolicited advice, all with good intentions more often than not backfire.
I'm begining to wonder if i should just shut my trap n let ppl b on their 'halath'....
Arrrrrgggghhhh...fuck it...too shitty...too fucked in the head right now.

clean room,suspension,T,abrupt endings n more
Two weeks into the 2nd yr n a lot has happened.....my first suspension( dont know if ill b this happy when i get my first salary)....the issue is settled though...nothing happened in the end....but quite an interesting phase.
New room,new hassles.....paint/chunna keeps falling off, therz seepage n i was living in a virtual store room,set up room finally yesterday looks quite nice,lets see till when it stays that way.
But the biggest disappointment of my stay at MICA, i missed the "culturization"...I had taken off for the weekend assuming it would last for a week or so, but alas I did only for a day...hence no door banging no yelling no assignments.
N yes T work is starting to bug me now, its not as much fun as it should be, we end up planning for all the things that could go wrong, we try very hard to b politically correct n all that...this sucks...anyways I signed up for it, will do my best.
Quite an eventful start I must say, but unfortunately nothing is moving on the MICANVAS front n i'm slightly worried now, but yeah whatever.... everything has a way of fixing itself.

Lazy afternoons,biryani,beer and drives in the rain
Yes I'm back home(as if the title could be any less direct)......
Speaking of lazy afternoons, the ones spent just lying in Palaash feel quite different from the ones at home...well for one there isn't 10 different kinds of music streaming in.
Hmmm now lets look back to the origin of lazy afternoons....i guess it would be sometime in school that u turn into a sloth from the erstwhile incarnation of a hyper-active kid who cant get enough of running around.....u refuse to wake up in time..like to have ur meals in bed....prefer lying prostrate on the couch and watch cartoons all day and go out to play cricket only very late in the evening....n then puberty hits u n u become an even bigger sloth ball...and along with that comes rebellion and u fight back when ur mom says u havent bathed for 2days now n u r beginning to stink. After a whole lotta years u hit college...spend most of ur sundays sleeping in only to be woken up by a call or msg frm friend/girlfriend which ever the case may be and suddenly all the laziness in u vanishes n u change as quickly as superman in the phonebooth n rush out.
N then post grad happens.....the baaaaap of all laziness u dont shave for weeks, bathe lets see when u feel considerate enough for u neighbours, breakfast lunch dinner....y bother u have a 24 hr canteen...kuch na kuch toh mil hi jayega..... lets sleep in play some fifa n cs....watch some porn...n the day shall pass.
Anyways being home isn't as bad as i thought it would be( what with the mass exodus of engg grads frm snist n the whole of narayan gang)....some chuts have come back so its alrite.
Me sleeps me eats and eats some more.....surf the net for a coupla hrs.....n there u have it another day begins.
Ok... after this pathetic piece of self appraisal i need to go feed myself.

Err whatever
Summer Internship, that great big promise......the one last chance to figure out what u want to do in life.....Phbbbbbbbbt!!!!!
Nah! u discover new levels of vellagiri....watching movies n porn in the office, pretending to b concentrating on a word doc which has been touched for over 2 hrs, ladadeedum....
Well I'm sure quite a few of my batchmates would've had a fruitful experience, but I for one certainly don't feel great about mine.
The expectations that I had n the reality r worlds apart. I did try to "learn" n b open as much as possible but I guess this organization n I aren't quite compatible.
Well anyway fuck that.....the fun things....had cheap ass cold drinks....travelled n saw some inhospitable terrain, had my first real brush with rural India....hmmm whatelse "office politics n culture" (do I hear ODY....no I still think that most of those courses were pure bull or atleast the way they were "facilitated")
N pretty much everything is hunky dory....looking forward to gettin that damn paycheque n gettin outta here now....some good times ahead I guess, first Bombay then Lakshadweep...wooohoo!!! n yeah i guess the trip back home wont be that boring this time.
Until later

Annual report
Yet another year of my student life has come to an end....unless i suddenly decide to pursue a Phd.....this will be the very last yr of my student life...... a very scarry thought that.
The last yr has gone by in a flash......although i slept through most of my time at MICA(proof my last post was in jan...well u can also credit that to lazyness)....i have quite a few fond memories.....n the last term was kinda wierd....i was hardly awake.....n the last few weeks were suddenly hectic......no i wasnt studyn....MICANVAS wrk...Team T stuff etc etc.
The last one yr has been quite "educative" in the academic sense n otherwise too...... my impressions of ppl wen i landed at MICA n by the time the yr ended have been quite different. :D
Some pleasant surprises...some not so.
Someone had told me a few days ago "Its hard to believe tht im not gonna see some of these people ever again"....that got me thinkin.....quite right actly.....there r quite a few ppl frm school i havent seen or heard frm n its just been 7yrs since i left school. Hmmmm just one of those life ke funde thingies. Anyways fuck this heavy shit......its all hunky dory n a lil more ;)
writing this from my workplace (yes yes.....i have eventually been forced to wrk...cruel cruel world)...the internship is on....pretty decent place....wrk is ok...a lil drab desk wrk bt ok.....field wrk shld prbbly b a lil more xcitin. Baroda is quite ok....havin a decent stay here.
Well was on campus for the weekend.....was kinda weird stayin in a barren palaash....no noise...no ppl....ppl that uve grown used to seein evryday...ppl u eat wit..bathe wit....ppl u look at n think to urslf fuck i jus wanna kill that guy/female. yeah well thats how it is......."Batch"

A million little pieces
Had been wanting to read this book for quite some time now. Was gifted this book on my birthday(Thanx)....finished the book within a week flat.
Was a very nice read....could relate to it a lot. Not with addiction part thou....that will take some time...havent found nethn that has me hooked yet :p
But the way he describes his pain, his fight with his own self is simply amazing. Its a very vivid description of how the mind fucks around with you.
"rage need rage need rage need"
"I want to run or die or get fucked up. I want to be blind and dumb and have no heart. I want to crawl in a hole and never come out. I want to wipe my existence straight off the map. Straight off the fucking map. I take a deep breath."
"I want to look beneath the surface of the pale green and see what's inside of me, what's within me, what I'm hiding. I start to look up but I turn away. I try to force myself but I can't"
And his atheist notions strike a chord with mine....like he says believing in god or a higher power and believing that such powers will guide you is something very absurd. Its just another form of denial....its shifting of the blame....its not owning up for yourself...not taking the responsibility for
your actions...it means you dont have faith in yourself .....its a replacement addiction.
All that apart...his style of writing is quite unique and pretty interesting....minimal usage of punctuation.....A continuous lucid and quick narrative makes for a very good read....the book on some level gets you hooked like a drug...once u start u wouldnt wanna stop.
I recommend you read this...even if your life isnt so fucked and you dont have a shit load of problems heaped over you....you might just like it....try it.

My anthem???
"Extreme Ways"
-MOBY
Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn't know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I'd owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know move apart
The colors of my sea
Perfect color me
Extreme ways that that help me
Help me out at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it then
I would stand in line for this
There's always room in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does
Extreme songs that told me
They helped me down every night
I didn't have much to say
I didn't get above the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened
Up to anything
That could get me along
I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things to cover me
Too much can make me blind
I've seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn't even believe
I would stand in line for this
It's always good in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does

MICANVAS the biggest event of the year @ MICA
was a huge success...although i personally...didnt get to enjy it...was workin all round the clock...all in all was gud fun n a nic xperience.
The concert nites were fun...parikrama n zero were kickass.......the crowds liked strings
it was a nic lil xperience....v had to pack up n vacate so dat v cld accommodate the guests.....palassh parijat n kachnar had an overnight transformation.
rooms that had not been cleaned for months...were fumigated cleaned and stacked wit mattresses n pillows.....Mican hospitality is unparalleled. Pretty much every guest appreciated our efforts.....most of em liked da idea of mixed lodging ;) :P :D
we moved into the senior hostel.....3-6 ppl cramped into one room....its anoda thing dat none of us hardly eva slept.
the campus wore a festive look for those 5 days(includin eve)
creatives were mind blowing....be it the paper lamps, the cut outs, the collage, the various other thingies.......events too went on decntly well.....i almost won an event(sigh!).
http://micanvas.mica-india.net
now let the pictures do the talking......
the creatives team @ work..puttin up lampshades...paintin the oat...makin the mosaic
mattresses in the palaash courtyard....served as a jumping point :P
During the collage making competition
me with the micanvas mosaic in the background

END GAME...err...TERM
Tons of ppts....umpteen group meetings.....reports....case studies...classes.......add to that house arrests...magazine releases....movie screenings....plays....PARTIES!!!!and u wouldn't realise that it has been over 3 months. Its been a lotta fun bt its all gonna change soon.
yes its that time of the year(u know its intrestin how the time frame keeps shrinking.....bak in skool it was yearly...in coll...semester wise and now v have 3 terms) wen ppl around me dive into their books, get hyper and freak out. "Whats the portion?" "what all are you doing?" "meri toh phat rahi hai" blah blah..... for me its one of the funniest lil periods....i have good laff at my peers' expense. May be its jus me but its kinda funny...how inconsequential these grades are in the long term.
Hang on...this doesnt mean i dnt prep(only a day before the xam mind u)....or that im some kinda god who doesnt need to try hard to pass....all im sayin is I dont see why ppl make such a big deal outta it.
Newayz....since im a term "wiser" now.....things have changed. Not jus my understanding of life...career thots n all that jazz.....ppl around me and my perceptions about them.
Equations, relations, attitudes have changed, (:D ive finally started gyming :D)
Oh and the nature of this post has changed too...set out to write sumthn funny ended up doin sumthn crappy...
Over n out
yes its that time of the year(u know its intrestin how the time frame keeps shrinking.....bak in skool it was yearly...in coll...semester wise and now v have 3 terms) wen ppl around me dive into their books, get hyper and freak out. "Whats the portion?" "what all are you doing?" "meri toh phat rahi hai" blah blah..... for me its one of the funniest lil periods....i have good laff at my peers' expense. May be its jus me but its kinda funny...how inconsequential these grades are in the long term.

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

A Month into the 1st term
Alrite.....really long break.....been busy.
(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
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.
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.

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.
