Strangers.....

Strangers......
Sometime u need more space than ppl close to you can provide....
Sometimes u need to speak to someone who you know wouldn't be hurt
by wht u say....

guess what? under circumstances like these strangers are the best bet....
I met one gal online a week back......
told her things which have never said to anyone before....
it was fun .....
I hope i can talk to her often.....

Poetic Aspirations

Immortal.....

Now I know,

I know now,

That I will not, I cannot

That I will never.......Die

O! How great is Love

and How little am I!

Words when used creatively can be magical. Blessed are those who can play with it.I always wanted to be one of the poets and write something that would last long after I am gone. After trying for several years I have finally given up. I accept that my poetry would only find place in my blog and that too reluctantly.

What is it about these people that they can make shallow words sound so deep?I guess I can never figure out.

About holidays and its futility..............

I always believed god has a great sense of humor. And when I see things around me, the way they are it makes my belief stronger.

Me getting philosophical ? Yeah sure why not? I ain't got anything else to do. We all waited for spring break with great zest. Little did we realize that we would spend it sitting idle and doing nothing. Thats why I say that god has got gr8 sense of humor. To have a rocking holiday u gotta have your finances in order and to achieve that you should be working. But, ironically when you start working you don’t get any kinda spring break.

Well, thats life and gotta take it all in your stride. I would have loved to fly out to my sister's place and spend couple of days with her but like i said for doing that you gotta have your finances in order.

Even though holidays are boring I at least got time to chill and relax. Also there is good news chinmayee's health is getting better and better by the day. I hope the gal pulls it off. I try and call her up every week, just to cheer her up. Meanwhile, sachin is going through rigors of Job training at banglore. When I think of both of them together, i always think what could have possibly come up had Chinmayee not been a bit stubborn. I have seen sachin really caring for her .They would have made a lovely couple but that was not to be.

As I said god has a strange sense of humor. Or may be I am too naive to understand complexities of life.

Nehal's Bday and Telegu Onslaught

It was nehals bday and the day began with home cleaning drive .Had we known that all our efforts would be in vain we would not have invested so much time in it.We decided to do away with pizzas this time and have some "bhajias " instead. It was physical exhausting to make bhajias for so many people and Khemkaji by having couple of beers made our task all the more difficult.

At quarter to 12 the telugu party arrived and seeing so many of them on nehals bday did surprise me a bit.At the stroke of midnight we asked the bday boy to cut the cake .All it took was few seconds before telugu party swung in action.Most of the cake could be seen on nehals face and still more was to come.Had he known about the amount of bday bums he is gonna receive nehal would not have returned home.

Initially, we joined them in beating him but as we realized that couple of guys are in inebriated state we had to become Nehal's "saviors" so to speak.We got opportunity to lay hands on Laxman and we did exactly that,not once but twice .After all we could not lat these guys away with what they had done.

Little jam and dance session at the end of party was rejuvenating. But all of us knew that most part of our sunday is gonna be spent cleaning the house.All in all it was good fun and we were happy that we got chance to get even with atleast one of the telugu boys. After all we could not let our roommate get beaten by guys who probably would not recognize him in campus.

Can't wait to go to bday party of one of the telugu boys.............

About being Single and Indian Coffee hour......

Year 2006 seems to be a year of love ........well not exactly for everyone :(

Everyone seems of to be have suddenly found their soul mate.It all started with jayesh.

I always seemed to wonder why this guy spends hours and hours in front of a computer chatting with somebody from India .It never occurred to me that charms of a girl were behind it. So finally,Mr. Jayesh is not single anymore.What difference does it make ? Well now I have one less person to talk to .That also explains why this guy suddenly bought a laptop.....well anything for love.

Same story back in india too. Two of my college buddies aren't single anymore.Shouldn't that make me happy ? It surely does ... but I hate it when after being out of touch for month or so when i go online and try and have chat with them they start talking about their respective GF's.I had love to talk to them like we did in old times.Talking about everything and anything under the sun and gossiping with each others for hours.But now its all about their girlfriends.

Anyways,talking about good things in life,we organized our first coffee hour today.It was lot of fun and I had blast.We decorated the whole ISC and firangs were quite excited to see all that.A night before it was all chaos, we had to cook the food for 100 people.Well all thanx to Vipul we saw through it.That guy is a master chef.At the end of luncheon we had a little jam session where desis and firangs danced together.It was all too much fun and I would love to be part of another such event.

Ironically, some of the firangs knew a lot more about the indian food than I do.They also suggested me couple of places where i can find better "Samosas".Can u believe it?

Life moving at a fast pace and next few weeks are gonna be hectic with my midterms coming up.I hope that i do well in them although prospects of that are looking bleak right now.

Running After Jobs

February 8 2006.

Morning was hectic as usual.Getting up early and going to work is always pain in neck.

But today my apartment was buzzing with activity..........Reason there was a Career Fair in university.Everybody was up by 8 AM in the morning.

And boy, with 5 guys living in an apartment, the bathroom becomes the hot place.Everybody wants to occupy it in the morning.Anyways it was my first experience in a career fair.With lots of prospective employers accepting resumes there were people all over the campus.

It took me an hour get through it.Later on ,i bunked one my of classes and headed back home.Early morning today i got the news that sachin got a good job in banglore....Hopefully i will have one soon.Its a mixed feeling of being scared and excited .. Scary becoz a lot depends on me getting a summer internship and excited bcoz if i do get one it will be my first off campus job.

While writing this , i am alone in the appartment.Right now,i am finding this lack of comapany peaceful however there times when i get up in the morning and find nobody else in the appartment.Those times i feel utterly lonely and yearn to go back to india.But cant do anything abt it.
