Ten unknown things about me

1. My greatest ambition is to become an underworld DON. 2. I have this marvelous ability to screw up things.. this is very much true. 3.

I can listen to the same music (which i love) for hours. 7. There are a lot of people whom I adore, worship, respect and love. These people can influence my thoughts easily. (Is that bad?) 8.

I hate to be the topper

Last time I came first in class was when I was in first standard. In fact i was not too bothered (aware) about rank those days that i always knew that i was first when they call out my name in assembly to present the first ranker’s medal. And from second standard my mother stopped teaching me and I started learning it all(:P) by myself. And as an end result i lost my rank. I have never been first again and never had the medals. I waited for about 4 years restlessly to have the rank again but was in vain. And at the end I wanted to discover what the real trick was behind the rank thing. The only one i found who could help me solve the puzzle was ‘Anita’. She had the reputation of all time first ranker in the class those days. But the problem was I was a back bencher, the problem kid, a terrific headache to teachers. And she was the most obedient, teachers pet, nerdy girl of the class. And those were the days when we thought ‘Girls are germs’ (it ...

Macri-cket

Bucknor out, Bhajji in… BCCI has shown its power in world cricket. Steve Bucknor is removed from the rest of the India-Australia series and Harbhajan Singh is playing the third test. Like most other Indians I am happy about that but this post is not to criticize or support any team or decision. All this drama reminded me of another cricket match happened almost 15 years back. The ground and players were different, ball and bat were different and even the game was different. A long six was considered as ‘out’ those days. The ball was of rubber and the bat was of wax. And I was one among the proud players. This guy, let us call him Raju, was batting and made a terrific shot on a short pitched ball which flew up and up and crossed the upper limit of the boundary and fell into the convent complex and that was called out. Now, Rajumon came up with the argument that the ball caressed the wall and hence he is not out. That was a pointless argument that not even his teammate...

007

The year 2007 is over, leaving a 2000 and 7 memories.  I had two main roles in the year 2007. The first half of the year witnessed me as a final year engineering student and the second half as a newbie engineer.  The first half was really fabulous. I didn’t learned/did anything technical in this period. It was complete masti except for the main project (I may put up another entry on that. Doing College Projects – the easy way ). There were friends of mine in college who started crying from the 1 st of January thinking about the farewell. I thought I would never feel sad but eventually I too felt so. These last six months in college were so happening for me and I am happy about that. Tried a lot of new things. I even tried writing a poem on ‘college days’, but terribly failed and had to agree that I can never write poems (but one day, I will my dear friends). The best thing that happened was that I had my B-Tech degree!! And the second part started...
