Got bored for a few seconds while working....

Make a wild guess and tell me how many modes of transport we used!

Today, George, Tirthankar and I went to a distant city!

We started off really late in the morning at 10:15am. The trip began with a short walk a few hundred metres, and found itself inside a tempo.

A little auto like entity with a lot more padding, an excuse for seats. It fits approximately 10 to 12 people at a time - and its just a wee bit bigger than an auto. Travelling across the oceans (as mentioned by captain po in another one of our wild adventures ) we reached a place renowed for its taxi services.
But then again, instead of taking a taxi, we rode a bus to the Global Business Park, which I recently found out is the workplace of a well known Tawakley!
I work right infront of that place, and needed funds to.. well.. fund myself.. :-)

After a little walk I was taken toward a money spiller, which, as is its nature, gave me some money! and I was rich again...
In a car we drove over to the resting place of captain po and thankar shersingh rathod or just neil... I was in a hurry since we were already very late, and were supposed to be in college by 10am! I informed the two about my woes, but alas. george had ordered a muffin. the reason why we were late was settled.

We set out after the very short bite towards the bus stand, and ironicaly again, ended up taking a cab to "maadikal"
Reaching there we hired an auto (the normal types) and asked him to take us to college. on the way we saw a strange thing popping out of the ground, reading the label on it we realised it was the metro at the central secretariat! we stopped the auto immediately and neil jumped out! po followed and so did I.. it was raining, so we got drenched and then we sat in the metro all the way to delhi university.. A rick from there to college was employed, but we still got a little wet in the rain..

We met barua on the way towards to the college office walking with a girl. They taking their lunch break together from CMS, where they both work. hmm..

We conspired to embarass him by totally ignoring his existence and not acknowledging the fact that we even remotely know the guy! we tried, we failed - we just couldnt stop laughing!!! haha... neil received the best actors award for his side-profile which he presented barua.

[ I cant take it anymore! I’ll add the rest of the pics and links later and post a message about it, this one has had its share of work from me... at least for now! phew! ]

The college office people are just amazingly nice! It was 12:40 and 1pm was the deadline to apply for the Operational Research Course in DU. I walked in and asked for the certificates, I got them in less than 5 minutes!! I got them photocopied and attested, and by 12:50 I was headed towards DU! I got there by 1pm exactly but the office people there had begun their lunch break and I felt I was late. before going back I told them where I came from and surprisingly they said, come at 2pm we'll do it...

went Holistic to have lunch and was stunned to see such good food!! I had a dosa, idli, mango shake and fuit chaat! (live in a flat for a month, you'll like all kinds of food!) met ragupathy! sadly we could not keep him entertained.. he left us at 4 claiming he had to see a movie... but before that we took a rick to kamla nagar and sat in reliance for a while, and even in barista! it was fun. ragupathy was trying to decide which is better hourly, weekly or monthly wages.. sat and discussed the pros and cons of each and helped him come up with a concept.. felt good to have a brain (and just for the heck of it, here is a female brain!) George called up a friend of his and went off for an hour or two and left neil and me at reliance.. we made the best use of our time and well.. surfed the net.

I had to make another trip to DU, and ragupathy had to go home - so he dropped me there. He told me something I had wanted, not expected;hoped, not wished; and left me stumped.

anyways.. coming back to the trip, I went over to reliance to get neil and po. They were there, but we decided we would play some games before we left!

Need for Speed Underground! the game that simply kicks ass! We tried playing with the steering wheel, but george sucked at it. His best lap was almost 2 minutes for the first race! we played and played and played, and the reliance guy came over and said - "gautam, this is a trial computer, you arent really allowed to play on this machine.." thats when we ended the day and pushed back towards gurgaon - but wait! there still are many vehicles left to go!

We took a rickshaw to the metro station and went back to the central secreteriat, took an auto to hauz khas to pick up some stuff for my office from one of our clients, went over to andheria mod to catch a bus or a cab to gurgaon. Luckily we found one waiting right there. That dropped us to my office, where we got drenched again! Po and neil sat at cafe coffee day and had some hot coffee and tea, whilst I walked the waters towards my office and handed over the clients stuff that I picked up.

Went over to ccd and ordered a nice hot chocolate! and I cannot explain what a feeling it was!!

we walked a bit and got water splashed all over us, but we were drenched already so it didnt make too much of a difference.

We found a tempo, whcih dropped us closer to our place, but just not close enough... we found another cab there which thankfully dropped us off where we had first taken our morning tempo.

we were back. wet and pissed off. i now understand the pleasantness of complaining! (as long as you dont go into specifics)

The Game

three things:
1. Its a little big, so if u are on a dial up, it will take a few seconds to load.
2. I know all the bugs in the game, so please dont send me bug reports!!
3. Its not the full version! (and I'm not making it either.. ) so whatever you think is incomplete or wrong , was supposed to be made in the full version, but I dont feel like making it... hehe..

I was hoping to have a lot of comments being screamed at you.. but didnt feel like recording too much.. watch out for "Have you ever pissed off a rickshaw?"

so you think you know how to drive?

4 hours of vela... so bored I made this..

I know the game says full verion coming soon.. but I doubt I'll make it..

to stop the sound press the stop button on the right bottom corner..

there is no score or anything, and if u dont have speakers dont bother playing the game..

Check this out!

An old song, but its good!

Song: BOMB IRAQ

Sung to the tune of "If You're Happy And You Know It Clap Your Hands"

If we cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.

If the markets hurt your Mama, bomb Iraq.

If the terrorists are Saudi

And the bank takes back your Audi

And the TV shows are bawdy,

Bomb Iraq.

If the corporate scandals growin', bomb Iraq.

And your ties to them are showin', bomb Iraq.

If the smoking gun ain't smokin'

We don't care, and we're not jokin'.

That Saddam will soon be croakin',

Bomb Iraq.

Even if we have no allies, bomb Iraq.

From the sand dunes to the valleys, bomb Iraq.

So to hell with the inspections;

Let's look tough for the elections,

Close your mind and take directions,

Bomb Iraq.

While the globe is slowly warming, bomb Iraq.

Yay! the clouds of war are storming, bomb Iraq.

If the ozone hole is growing,

Some things we prefer not knowing.

(Though our ignorance is showing),

Bomb Iraq.

So here's one for dear old daddy, bomb Iraq,

From his favorite little laddy, bomb Iraq.

Saying no would look like treason.

It's the Hussein hunting season.

Even if we have no reason,

Bomb Iraq.

The most academic joke I have ever been forwarded!

Once all the scientists die and go to heaven. They decide to play hide-n-seek.Unfortunately Einstein is has to seek and is supposed to count upto 100 and then start searching.

Everyone starts hiding except Newton - he just draws a square of 1 meter and stands in it rite in front of Einstein.

Einstein keeps counting......97,98,99.....100........

He opens his eyes and finds Newton standing in front.

Einstein says "newton's out..newton's....out....." Newton denies and says i am not out. He claims that he is not Newton!!

All the scientists come out and he proves tht he is not newton..........


how???????







Scroll Down














Proof:

Newton says:
I am standing in a square of area 1m square.
That means i am Newton per meter square.
Hence i am Pascal....since newton per meter square = Pascal,
Pascal is OUT.

He works accross the road!!

Early this evening, an incident stunned two people who have known each other for a very long time. I cant say how long, but lets just emphasize on the fact that it was very long.

Blogging being the craze of the days, everyone was upto antics of giving people cloues to find out who they were, to see if they could guess correctly.

turned out he works accross the street

hehe

cya!

What does it mean if someone sends you this : ??

one of those days again...

This blog is getting seriously boring, what with all the comments and 200 people reading this everyday...
it just gets more and more difficult everyday..

haha... maybe someone will read this post next year and tell me about it...

what can one do to a blog to make it more lively?

I think I'll add some stuff to it.

Another small trip

I have now decided to return to my old form of writing... metaphorical!

Early one morning, around 10am Chinoor, the lead character (back in form!) wakes up and realizes he is late. Not dead… just late for a meeting he had scheduled. A foldable mechanism was his humble abode at the moment, which he got off and figured looking good would be a nice option for the day. A new device to help ease the soles of his foot, was bought a couple of days back which helped him walk long miles, longer than they usually are. Seriously, physics is very relative – you make walk a mile and think it was a minute long, not to mention thinking that you just broke the Olympic record for speed walking; but nonetheless it would seem quite short.
Anyways, returning to the initial story, morning ablutions were done in style and ready was he to move on to dangerous territories and travel through various different states. Two to be exact.
He left his home, his joy to face a world of greed, selfishness, anger, hurry and ofcourse very loud horns! He found himself in a cab after walking for an eternity (at which point it would seem that he was either walking really slow – to spend an eternity walking and still not get there; or he was walking the wrong way)
The cab guy shouted at chinoor before he got in it a weird word –“maaddikal”
Only later did he realize that it was just a polite gesture which meant – “Good morning Sir, I am headed towards the bus stand called ‘Medical’ in Delhi. If you would like I could give you a lift till there for a meager sum of Rs. 15/- only”
Who could refuse such a polite request! In fact Chinoor let the driver know that he would be getting off a little before “maaddikal” and the driver obligingly offered him a five rupees discount!
Isn’t it amazing how a little bit of politeness can get you so far in life – 16 kilometres to be exact.

really busy, but had to write something for the day..

come here
go there
done here
whats next?
Do I add some more
to this text?

this time
that time
which time
what time
glitch time
why time
what the hell am I doing
with
my time

shocking.. but not effective.

temporary.. but not changeable.
unconcerned.. but not indifferent.



Feeling the rise in arbitrary conversations and relying on what you heard 'just the other day', I thought I'd write something more than just arbit. Something more, a little difficult to define what it should be.

What is one expected to do, when its not choices that u have to make
Living on and on, existence speaks for itself
The choices u made were'nt yours to start with, your notion of life u need to shake
Forget the things that u kept on the shelf.

hmmm... sounds like I'm not in a good mood.. but I am!?

lets try this.. have u ever heard Frank Sinatra?

not heard OF him.. have u heard HIM sing?

go ahead.. sing it like he would, the following is a happy song

---------------------

Let's talk about you... What you havent really shown
The world would like to know, What you plan to do now...

Living on this earth, we all seem to be full of sorrow.
What is it that we desire, what is it that we follow

Why dont you ask yourself, living how you are,
Do you think that the grapes are sour?

Lets not believe, in the world today.
Lets just think on our own today.
Making it seem all too true
Let see what you and I do

----------------
lets get a bit more technical.. change the voice to someone hip hop..

------------------

I just want to feel, safe in my own skin.
Is there a world out there, one that I can find in a tin.
Bound we are from the places we want to see
but do you think we should flee?

Learn to live and live it right,
Why do it when you feel like a fight.
Jump at the chance, do u think u'll get another
dont be so sure - u make it seem all unreal

Lets not believe what we see today,
Lets try and hear today,
making it seem all too true,
lets see what you and I do

------------------
anyone for an arbit rhyming song?

-------------------

Left or right with the world today,
Lets make a leap to the sky,
what part of the world do we foray
Lets just say goodbye

What is it that we still have to learn
What may I do to clean up this act
For the answers to my questions, I yearn
atleast what I need to know, is intact

Lets not believe in what you said before,
Lets try and make it seem better than before.

its time again...

yup.. its time for me to write another bit supposedly interesting and enthusiastic stuff for my blog, but how!! am not feeling interested in anything and am not at all enthusiastic about it!!!!
this is the pits! college finished, friends all over the place - but toooooo far to hang out with!!!!!!!! (all over India... hehe.. )
i was waaaiitting for this day soo desparately!!! well, actually I was waiting for the evening of the day that my exams finished.. and it just came and whoossheed by!!!! I didnt even get to say bye!!!!

I cant believe how rude I am! Would any of you jobles people reading this belive that a guy who is sooo jobless to even write this, just wasnt jobless EXACTLY WHEN HE wanted to be!!!!!!!! amazing is the world and ironic is life, put the two together and you have an amazingly ironic life!
now I understand why so many people write about the ironies of the world! my god ITS FULL OF'EM!
just the other day for instance - I was waiting for a friend in Barista and I see this reaaally nice girl! who noticed me too by the way.. (stop laughing all of those who know me!.. and for those of you who dont, ignore that note. ;-)
It was so sad.. I would have so loved to just sit there and think of the possibilities that, in most obvious situations NEVER happen! but then I didnt even get time to do that!

before I sign off.. I have to say this, "If you want to confuse an idiot try saying 'watch out for the bulldozer-its it may get a dent!'"

hehe..

aloha!!

here's a joke my dad just told us all at dinner...

A guy walks into a store and asks, "hey, whats that!!"
the shopkeeper looks very amused, finding it funny that someone actually doesn't know what that device was..
he replies, "thats a thermus"
the wierd guy doesnt have a clue! he feels he was better off not knowing what that thing was,instead of now not
knowing what that thing is and also the wierd name the shopkeeper just gave it...
"what does it do?" he asks
The shopkeeper replies, "It keeps cool things cool and hot things hot!"
that line helps make the shopkeeper an instant sale, here we find that the wierd guy was also rich!

The next day we find this guy walk into his office very enthusiastically with his new thermus!!
his boss, knowing he didn't hire this guy for his brains asks "do u even know what that is???"
he replies, "YES I do!! Its a thermus. it keeps cool things cool and hot things hot!"

his boss goes on to ask, "what did u get in it??"

he replies, " Two coffees and one scoop chocolate ice cream."

Patheticism

It's a word that doesn't exist, it's an expression that explains itself.
It's a world that belongs to a few, it's just your own ideals placed on a shelf.

You stand up for what its worth, You claim whats not yours.
The world would die a meaningful death, if us, it adored.

A feeling you might possess, for yourself or someone else.
A thought, it so excels, your eyes look down to where even the rock melts.

Enough is enough!

Who ever thought one could say this with confidence,
Who ever realized that it actually is so true!
There wasn’t much I’d learnt in the past that I did today,
I feel like a man, a bigger one than before, but the idea sure sticks like glue!

There isn’t to say, is there? There isn’t much to do, I hope.
For the answer I was supposed to just look, but where?
Everything everyone told me to understand, I just said nope.

Feeling stupid, feeling glum.
I could just hide my face and face reality from behind a mask.
Could I stand, when I know I can’t show my face.
Would I hide, when someone calls out my name?

I think its time, time to smell the flowers,
Butterflies wander the lawns, birds sing their songs,
They don’t really ask whether they are good enough.

I think I should too, just stop asking around,
Time I think I should be what no one else wants to be.
Does it matter that I was pushed around before,
Does it matter that I get easily convinced?

I might as well jump in a well and never come out,
Should I be the one to whom, when u drop the bucket, you shout?
Call me when you need me, is what people did.
I feel deprived of the aftermath; I feel I give it away.

I believe in God and I hope I was blessed,
For I really wish to ask myself, if he did bless
Have I had enough?
For a question so simple all I can say, is yes.

Thanks

Never knew falling would hurt so much,
I’ve fallen before but only on my knees.
This time I don’t need a crutch,
But I need a lot more help, please.

The night is beautiful, its dressed up like a bride.
The stars make it so elegant, yet away from me it takes a stride.
This one that I fell for, I had fallen before.
Thought it wasn’t possible, so let the wind blow it towards the shore.

We, may or may not be here tomorrow,
These moments, I will remember tomorrow.
The feelings, I have are of love,
But it seems they have flown away like a dove.

Why is the sky and the land seeming all new,
When I asked, the crazy wind replied,
You fell in love, unknowingly,
What have you done, unknowingly?

Love is crazy, it’s just too much fun,
It’s unaware of pain or happiness.
Forgive the crazy man, he will soon set,
He too is unaware, want a bet?

Who was that devil in the green dress over there!
Do you know her? I might just need the number to her lair!
Her soft, blue eyes seem like heaven to me
In a second I feel like Bruce Lee!

12 o’clock! 3 o’clock! 2 o’clock! Jump!
The time has come to make the music pump!

The crazy man certainly went crazy,
His life sure did feel a bit hazy.
But you were there to keep my eyes from becoming soggy,
Turns out my specs were a bit foggy.

I trust God to keep us all happy,
I trust him with all my might,
And this time if I do may say so myself, God sent you, right?
