Let me rewind a bit.....




Hey Guys,
I'm back for those who thought that I was gone and all those who missed my posts. And those who thought otherwise and didn't miss my posts are lying coz, they wouldn't be reading this then.

Gone where?
Boss, I too need to study, and moreover joining MBA coaching is last semester had made life more complicated or does it..? well I'll decide it later.

First Lemme wish y'all a very happy Twenty 10.

So apologies for such a delay after last post, it is not that I didn't tried, it is that I always felt short of ideas, when I was with the Idea, I felt short of words and when I was with idea and words I was short of time. So in short, I was short of something or the other.

This future Engineer has done with 5/8 th of his engineering or simple speaking I've done with my 5th sem and now hoping that results don't drag me into trouble. Papers went okay, this time I dated books along with my two other friends Umi and Ravi , the only similarity between these two idiots is evident here itself which is both names Umi and Ravi rhyme well, apart from this they are like Electrostatic charges "OPPOSITE" but there's a difference here too i.e. they don't attract ......or ideally they should not attract ..........but do they ? well that's out of the scope of this post :P. Ravi is an intelligent guy, makes sharp comments and remarks..I'd say he is Mr. Intel while Umi is like a Intel motherboard works well until undisturbed once disturbed can get difficult to manage, umi is short tempered but one helluva mate always good to share thoughts with him.

Let me tell you how my life turned, in these last 2-3 months .

The past two months have been pretty hectic to say the least, Let me rewind the clock to 15 Nov 2009. If I'm not horribly wrong 15th Nov was the date when our second midsems commenced (I already told earlier that we have best of 3 midsems as if a CB series Final in Australia ).
As the dates came out Mr Cool particularly went livid, the reason was also rigid which was, 17th was the day of his elder brothers marriage. To say that Mr Cool was the only one who went nuts would be understatement, we also went mad coz the faculty rescheduled the exam dates to mid november, earlier it was in 1st week, the situation was out of our hand and everybody came terms with the schedule, though some like us and Mr Cool himself were unhappy.
But Frankly speaking it didn't make helluva difference coz, we still made to the sangeet and Reception without iota of tensions of midsems the next day. Glad we did made to the reception that day..Speaking of 17th ..Mr Cool image flashes in my mind...the image of him meeting us on the eve ....he was surely looking like a groom but thankfully wasn't acting like one. He welcomed us and dragged into the "Baarat"..we got into the crowd and wasted no time to begin with our idiotic moves , don't know whether the camera guy got us on the tape or not, but surely we must have been looking jerks condidering the way we were doinmg our move . The night was great, everybody enjoyed, as the time clocked 2AM in morning we hesitantly decided to leave..we didn't had any options either.Wishing Good Luck to bhaiya and Adios to Mr Cool we left from there, exhausted and burnt.
(Picture)All of us on eve of 17th


The next day (18 nov )was an ordinary day ...what was special was our eyes..in one night it went from Aamir Khan's to Salman Khan's....it was CGM paper today....There were few mistakes in the Question paper, Intel found it and reported it to concerned only to get scolded ...he was furious and more importantly he was right...but authority didn't thought in resonance , Intel thought it was better to leave and so he did. Sometime later I also left the room.
Umi Intel and I met after the paper.Sandeep "Sandy" too joined the conference, Sandy is one guy which gives me hope , he is not like us as he is very sincere when it comes to study. Umi and I knew it was Now or Never scenario for us coz next was Theory of Computation (TOC) and we were in such a condition that even acquiring a minimum positive integer as our marks was a tough job , given our sir pass out of an IIT were setting the paper . Sandy also had his feet in water in TOC so he along with Umi and I urged Intel to teach something about TOC, Intel agreed , it was decided that we will switch to group study and go for a night stay at Umi's den.

It was tough, real tough ...for those like us who hadn't even held a Shivani forget the book in hand till then. Intel did a coaching for the subject and we are glad that he did, otherwise things would've been different. Intel started with the Finite State Automata and explained basics, as always Umi Sandy and I kept saying typically "Are ye to easy hai yaar, main to ise har kitta tough samjhta tha" , this made me realize the fact that problem is not within the problem, it lies within the one who solves it. Every now and then Intel made a point to remind us how happy he was that he joined the coaching and the 1000 bucks were fully meaningful.I also everytime happily reminded my mind that knowledge worth of Rs 1000 is getting free to us . But who can deny our pathetic condition, we were in a hole and the Max Payne thoughts were bingo " The genius of the hole: no matter how much time you spend climbing out, you can still fall back down in an instant. "
We studied till 4 AM, rather we had to, and then when our head could take no more we put an end to it, we completed a good part of 2 units and that
was very pleasing. Sleep can never be more satisfying as it is one which is achieved after such exhaustive study.I dreamt that I topped the TOC paper but dreams have a nasty habit of going bad when you're not looking.
Intel as always, stood up first in the morning and made us awake.

.
.
.
After one day , When the teacher was about to give the Qn paper , my head struck again with a Max Payne quote "Einstein was right. Time is relative to the observer. When you're looking down the question paper, time slows down. Your whole life flashes by, heartbreak and scars. Stay with it, and you could live a lifetime in those few seconds " of course it's a bit moulded but it seemed Max's thought were spot on for an Engineer, TOC paper went okay...at least for us who were nowhere in a position to fill 2 pages a day earlier and now we filled a sheet. All thanks to Intel.

Next few days went unnoticed as it was time of externals and vivas.I love vivas solely due to reason that you everyday see valuable expressions on your classmates faces which otherwise seem to be too monotonous, expressions mind you are in close proximity of names of two Bond movies, some have "Die Another Day" expressions and some have "The world is not enough " expressions, we certainly belong to second category and are never unnerved by these viva stuff....while some belonging to former category always feel more nerves here than in End Sem Exams . Externals too passed us.

Time passed and we were again waiting for out encounters with RGPV papers for 5th time...they were scheduled from 22nd December 09, the exam date came as huge shock as people were expecting to be in January. Rumours regarding change of dates of exam flooded the net, many students were in a fix regarding dates. Rumours are one thing which are a necessity in RGPV , there are rumours of every kind ..just choose yours and propagate, one won't be surprised to know that they propagate fast then most wild fires.I recall my friends from Private Insti's calling me day n night to ask are these dates fixed and permanent ?, they usually go in with the feeling that I being a GEC student will be more trusted source.But the truth is very much evident from the fact that we ourselves are in dilemma let alone clearing doubts of others.Though I very much enjoy doing 'netagiri' when it comes to such a case.

The dates were not changed and we had exams from 22nd.
Again Umi Intel and I decided it was time when we'll have to meet, dates were fixed and we met , this time more seriously as we knew any mistake now, can easily lead to hazardous consequences most dreadful would be the case in which we are going to give exams with our juniors, the thought itself is very intusive let alone the reality of it. Sandy this time decided to study alone as most sincere lads resort to. We divided each subject course in three parts , each did his bit and explained to others, who says school knowledge doesn't help, Divide and Rule British Policy which we studied in Grade 8 in school found implementation in Engineering, not only implementation, we understood the policy much better in Engineering than when we did in 8th grade. This was how we did it rather this was the only way we had to do it. For the 1st time in my life I studied on 31st eve... Intel made it memorable as he bought some Swiss Chocolates which we ate at 12.00am, we took a break and danced a bit or rather moved a bit coz, dance would be too graceful word.Umi's moves were something I can't forget for rest of my life. We celebrated New Year with books and chocolates inside umi's home.
(picture: New year celebrations)



Days of Death, 22nd to 5 Jan passed in a jiffy, on 5th it was all over,the 3 idiots did it, how well we did it hmm ...Time will tell.We decided that we'll have a day's rest and on 6th we'll have a day's trip to Indore and so we did.All went well and we enjoyed the trip certainly the journey in general compartment is well remembered.
(picture: on way to Indore)



Time is passing very quickly, as if God has enhanced the angular speed of our earth, the past months have been a great experience for me, I'd say I will thank exams as they have made me understand friendship better.....and most certainly I've understood my friends better, learned to help each other and most importantly I've spent some valuable moments with my friends which I'll surely cherish, later on in my life and hopefully they'll too.

I'd like to end this post with these lines from Thomas Jefferson

"But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine."




Thanks for reading through.....

unforgettable nineties and me



"kuch khaas hai hum sabhi mein,
kuch baat hai hum sabhi mein,
baat hai....khaas hai,
kuch swaad hai......
kya swaad hai zindagi mein "...


and the flash video ended showing two more thumbnails for another advertisements from that era ...the golden era ...the unforgettable era..lemme
give a name..."the unforgettable nineties".

I just finished watching an Old Cadbury commercial which was aired during the nineties, the one minute odd clip parceled me to the ancient age...yeah it is ancient, even if its not, it seems very much, Youtube videos are now in High Qualuty HD mode...but that ad wasn't such, it had bigger pixel size, which only made viewing a little more ambiguous, but their was something abstract, virtual, unreal feeling associated with it that ignited a nostalgia in my head, and I who was very much happy with my present too thought "Gosh, what a time that was and today is such a chaos ..a blur..... ", suddenly memories came creeping in my head which were long dormant inside my cerebrum, one said how I cried when India Lost to SriLanka in WC semifinal in 1996 and other neutralized it by how happy was I when The God of Cricket scored two back to back tons against mighty Aussies in 98, another one helped me recall how happy was I playing Mario in my neighbors home.

The attack of memories was short lived ..and the string of memories bumping my mind was jolted by the sound of my mom screaming "Shashank, are you gonna waste all your day watching those match clips of Federer..?" I replied in my mind, this time mom it's not Federer ....it was about me and may be millions like me who were brought up during the nineties in India...I shouted "Haan Mummy bas shut down hi karne wala hun....", Mom didn't replied...I glanced through the Video Clips given in the bottom right side of the screen and read the clips ...Amul Commercial,Bajaj Scooter Ad Retro, Coke Commercial with Amir Aish....Lucky Ali O sanam....and so on...'O sanam' Music video had almost had 10lakh views, It was hard to believe, but that showed there are people living in my generation who are still in love with this ...these songs ..Lucky Ali ....Today it's pathetic, you see music videos having one girl leading 10 other similar creatures, dressed in sense, you can't even in the wildest of dreams associate with song.. and singer knows every trick except what he is meant to.


I forgot I pledged to shut Windows minute earlier instead ..what I did was to click On a thumbnail saying Doordarshan Signature Montage..what followed was utter nostalgia, I don't know how I recalled the tune that played in video, it was Shehnai by Late Ustad Bismillah Khan which I haven't heard since ages, as the video played It catapulted me to my childhood ..
My Grandma ..my buaji..my sis... flat apartment...Binatone black n white TV .....doordarshan ..mowgli ...mahabharat...surbhi....tarang.....rangoli ..chitrahaar... the MP state news at 7.00.PM.......


I read comments on the clip, there were many lines which I could relate too but the one's which got my eyes heavy worth a post here -

"Wow....I used to Hate this...because DD1 was the only channel we used to get...and everytime my grandma would hear this music she knew it was news time..now I miss them both......thanks...."


Thoughts and memories charged from everywhere towards my brain, as if my arteries and veins had stopped their job and began bringing memories from every damn possible times in past. My head was invaded by them, I realized nothing would ever match the happiness of those times, and I was happy being in the vicinity of such memories........................

As I regained my thoughts, I heard bhajan song playing through loud speakers in neighbourhood as it was festive season of Ganesh Utsav. I was back in present, but still my mind, my heart,my soul, wished to somehow turn back time ...and relive my childhood in the unforgettable nineties, but I was old enough to realize this wish ain't at all possible and all I could do is dive again in the pool of memories later, and once again virtually relive the unforgettable nineties and can proudly say I lived during 90's in India.

A Day of an Engineer

"subah subah ye kya hua....na jaane kyon ab main hawaaaoon mein chal raha hoon...""

and there it starts... my Mobile freaked at 7.30 A.M in the morning....this very song is set by me as the alarm tone to get up...signifies "A new morning ....refreshing ..fresh as a dew...and all that you can imagine from a "Morning" as referred by our great poets and writers..but believe me nothing feels refreshing and cozy as a sleep ...so whats next ..you're right...I just somehow manage to shut Arjun's mouth and get back to my refreshing ..replenishing ..ssssllllleeeeepppp.....but then ..these creepy gadgets have a SNOOZE alarm feature which makes Arjun again go berserk but after 10 minutes..and every enginner will agree with me that 10 min more sleep is just as good as it gets...
Finally I managed to be on my feet at 8 ....gradually the morning seems to be more like what Arjun was shouting half an hour back.. .and I also came to terms with what our great Poets had said about waking up in the "Brahm kaal" .....needless to mention that my brahm kaal is around 8 AM....thanks to my Raatrikaaleeen Sabhas on Orkut and Yahoo.

So mission kicks-off at 8 ...The foremost thing ..Hold that daemon gadget that had led to all this...and call Abhishek Kumar ...yeah neither akshay nor Dileep ....he's Mr. Cool ..no matter what the situation is he takes no tension....and always makes me land our College after 10.30 (well the classes start at 10)...the reason for calling is whether any of our mates are going to collg ...and then finally we discuss whether are "WE" going or not....it was told by Mr. Cool that today is our midsem test and we have to go in any case ....now this is FIRST POINT TO BE NOTED : I can say some things make our college the best..... one of them is that they conduct three Midsems per sem and that's a blessing in disguise for us "good for nothing" homo-sapiens. The midsem news did'nt came as a shock ... all it managed to do was to make us take a pledge that "Agle mein phod denge"..well this luxury is special and unique ...only in GEC.


So it was not a matter of choice but compulsion to go. Next thing is to tell Mom that whether her son is going or not.......slowly and gradually my mom had also came to terms that her son is not in school now ,..... I still remember on 17 aug 2007 that was my counselling date how she and my sis urged me not to join this insti and go for other collg... some of the reasons were


  • 1. Bohot ragging hoti hain. (too much ragging as its Govt College)
  • 2. Ladayi jhagde .....gunde bante hain wahan.(too much fight and groupism )
  • 3. Sessional nhi milte (No Good sessional Marks)...and many many .....
their mutual choice was I should go for CS in LNCT... but i was determined not to be in school again and rest as they say is history.

So Mom asked whether she should make anything for my lunch....whether I say no or yes ..outcome is same....which is I still carry a tiffin box to collg.And when asked about what to make....my universal answer is "make anything that is done till 9.45".

As I came to know about the Test being today ...I took a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and sighted few qns.. ( the seven spaces is name of a book ...which every Engineer in RGPV has worshipped and u need not to be genius to guess its name.

At around 10. Mr Cool appeared in front of my house on His LML (le mat lena) ADRENO which seems A MASCULINE BIKE ...except for its horn ..its horn is like...a 1980 Modeled bajaj Priya scooter horn.... which is just capable to indulge my neighbour's dog to bark at a ridiculously irritating rate. Well thats the signal for me...that Mr. cool has arrived.....now its time to wonder whose turn is it to take byk...after a while the agreement is made for that.

And here we go off .....just managed to get to turn one of the street ..it bumped in Mr Cool's mind where is the helmet ?...Ah..Sh*t not again....we forgot the head gear ..carrying a helmet was again a compulsion as its not possible to invade Our Collg Campus without it ....I remember once we forgot that head-gear and that made us to walk kms in our campus..yeah its like hell..from the main entrance to the insti its almost 2kms .fortunately we found a byk with familier creatures on it , they took both of us to make 4 on one byk, we surely must have been looking idiots to say the least but we forgot to care after we took admission here. ..We didnt want to witness that scene again ........so we went back home to get the helmet.

Finally we were off .....just to get stuck in the traffic at the Polytechnic Kamla Park road....its terrible...it sucks..being in the condition I always wonder Chauhan Sahab(apna CM) has spent all his money to broaden Link roads .....What about these.?? ...but thats it..I can't do more than to think in that way...rather it occupies my mind till we get clear ..

We pass shani mandir and bow our head almost unknowingly.....its in our head .. we Indians always do that...be it a mandir aur a dargah...smell of incense sticks coming out from the dargah at the Marine Drive....just feels so good that I cant write it out here.

Marine drive is the best part....of our routine journey to colg.....We blaze of the 5 Kms at some speed.........Mr Cool interrupted the silence of the Upper lake to Say "Abe kutte kuch padha de..maine kuch nhi padha"...I said even I hadn't but who listens to me....I opened that seven lettered name BooK..to Shout out ..CMRR ....ccooooommmmooonn Mooode reeeeeeeejection ratiooooooo Mr cool shouted and said "Properly" this got me a little pissed off...how was I supposed to be proper on a vehicle blazing at 70 kmph, I shouted at him..and got into a verbal fight... just as we were busy abusing each other a Maruti Gypsy overtooked us, an uncle sitting inside it gave me a "Retired Brigadier Look" as if he felt petrifying me, I returned the same to him but with a wide grin, I was too strong to be bothered by that looks rather I should say I became a bit shameless after I took admission in this Insti. I gave few more definitions till Mr. Cool thought it was enough for his head to hold.


At 10.30 We landed In the college....Mr cool's byks silencer was so hot that that you could make a chappati on it...I've to mind this Silencer as this LML adreno has no foot rest on the right side which makes lyf difficult for me. Standing their and combing our hair is regular phenomena for us.



After its done, we made into the Premises .....shaking hands with 2-3 dozen of mates, we made it to the front of CS Department. Its the place to hangout ...untill an Alien Creature who wears his trousers till his lungs (Our Director)(I wonder he must be having rash marks around his chest )..comes out and starts with his routine doze of Abusive words "Haramzyade" being his fav..... (other words..... All UITians know it very well).


Chit-chatting with our frnds, we made it to the class.. only to know that Midsem has started.....We made our way to rooms ..Mr cool has his class on the ground floor..and I had to give the test in class at the 1st floor.

30 mins passed, n I went downstairs...60 Percent class was out...before even half hour.. busy abusing the faculty, Mr Cool was one of those....I too joined the party...Lashed out for 10 mins and then ..just was back to normal. In the midst I asked about the next one, and I was not surprised to see ..that nobody had idea for the next. It was decided that Galz would be asked ...and so we did.

Again we were in front of cs dept. ...and here came our alien this time with a few files ...he came to us and did what he does best. For a moment everybody took cover(as if some hazardous gas had leaked in the vicinity) and then we were back at same place as if nobody cared.

I decided to issue books from Library ...and it was not the first ever time I decided to do so...I've tried many times but was unable to do so. This time I had the mind made up and got to Central Lib..some of my frnz accompanied me as if it was historical moment ..to some extent it was ...reason being that I'm in 4 th sem now and I havent issued a single book from the lib. I got to the counter and gave my ID card ..The librarian (who looked like a frustrated Trauma Center guy)said..which yr ? ..I said 2nd , he said...yr of admission..? ..I replied 2007-11 batch sir. He said "library ki yaad kaise aayi"...I said in mind WTF has it to do with you...but smiled to keep things As mr. CoOl would suggest...he then said to my frnz "Inki to foto leni chaiye" . My frns got more crazy (as if they were'nt untill that moment) and started laughing as hell...I patiently waited and got the books...remembering the famous proverb "Every dog has his day"..It was certainly that Trauma center Guy's day. But I was happy to be having books frm Lib....as today is 17 march 09 (I took admission in August 2007)..just as i walked out of Library Mr. Cool appeared with a smile..not very pleasing..and asked me to give him one of the book.. saying he needs it dearly ..this... book I issued just now ...I said no no....but who listens to me. Finally the little pleasure I had moments ago also vanished. I reminded myself it's just matter of days and I'll get it back after sometime as if book was my GF.


We got back to where we belong, the CS dept and chatted for a while...n gradually everybody left one by one.Second POINT TO BE NOTED..Our collg gives us this luxury...... what we refer as in invitation cards for marriages which says "aapke aagman tak"..yes...we can come and move out at will BUT electrical students are not given any luxury what so ever(due to T EFFECT)....ofcourse we've to face consequences related to the third reason which my mom and sis gave for not to join GEC.


So Mr. Cool and I went to the place where he parked his GF (ofcourse byks are boys 1st GFs).


We took off from there, just as we were about to leave the premises, Mr cool took a hault and said "what about coke?" I said no problem, I mean who has it at 2 PM when sun means business. We got to the SANCHI parlour(the significance of this place will be evident from the fact that students spend more time here than their classes), all our seniors were parked there with trademark grins on each face, as we were in 2nd yr it was not much of a problem to get there,had it been 1st we should'nt have landed home with our cheeks with same complexion as it was before getting there. We shook hands say a dozen times more and Mr cool ordered two coke , just as we opened it , we saw a group of guyz 200 mts away staring at us , just when they came closer we realized they were not just guys they were similar to herd of hungry bulls left untied and more for our trouble they were from same stable "CSE", We knew its time to gulp in as much as we can, Mr cool was a specialist in this, he didnt took time to empty his share, I alwayz had problem to drink at such rate, result was expected-- the herd took over and drank the rest left in mine. Again it was Hand shake time....we did it and left from the place.

It was time for both of us to fill ears with headphones and blaze back home with Coldplay and Metallica playing for me and him respectively.

In 20 min we were back at my home courtesy some fast driving. He stayed for a while in front of my home..we chatted little less energetically ...as both were tired, nobody did blast a Pj as it was mutually understood that none had the mood.

Mr cool drove away to his home and I got in my den..rested and had a sleep for an hour before my JAVA classes...I often wonder how long will we be going to classes.....wondering about this stupid thought, sleep caught me.

At 9 PM I came back home......classes were over at 7 :P. It was time for my Raatrikaaleen sabha as Vividh Bharti Anchors would say, and Orkut Yahoo, Gtalk all was going on all guns blazing . It was 11.30 when I left my frnz ...who were still Online.

Just as I was preparing to go down to my refreshing replenishing sleep, Mr Cool called me and said.. the Book has been lost.....I shouted ..till I can and then disconnected it.

I took my Mobile and started a song playing in my ears which coincidently said "EVERYTHING'S NOT LOST" a song by Coldplay.




It was 7.30AM and morning silence was pampered ...



"subah subah ye kya hua....na jaane kyon ab main hawaaaoon mein chal raha hoon..."

Beginning

Finally I'm here at the blogger, the thought of being one has hovered over my mind time and time again. The urge seemed to be bigger and bigger and so finally I've created one blog to feed my ever growing urge.

Now , I'm thinking from where to start, many thoughts are crossing my mind and none has convinced me for its superiority over the other, but I've to start..so lets start with.....huh..... ME ..?
