Crash and Tag
March 21, 2008
Update#1: I’m such a restless guy. It’s not been more than 8 hours that this post has been on air, well not exactly air but anyway, here I am already making an update. Shouldn’t make much of a difference though because it’s just a casual suggestion. I realize that this post is painfully and illogically long so there’s a chance that by the time you reach the end of the post, you will have forgotten what you wanted to say and will end up saying something else. Hence, my suggestion is that you comment in Notepad or something like that simultaneously and the when you are done, just paste the entire thing in the comment box. Or else you could read one part of the post, comment, then go back, read the other part and comment. I know it sounds tough and unnecessary, but you can do that much for me na? *does the really cute puppy on the roadside expression to entice you into doing it* Pweeease! :P
Warning: My last post was 20 days ago, in the days between 1st of March and 20th of March, I got tagged by four people. I’m going to do all those tags in this post. And there’s gonna be another rant thanks to whatever has happened in the last 2 days. Therefore this post is going to be really really long. So if you wanna read how I answered your tag, scroll down and read. If you wanna read the rant, it’s coming up next. If you wanna read everything, bless you. Oh, and if by chance I missed anybody’s tag, please remind me. I’ll do it in the next post.

The Rant
As I sit here with my hair washed, which btw are still longer than Undertaker’s hair had been in his glory days, I don’t know whether to be happy that the Board exams are almost over or to be sad thinking about what lies ahead for me in the near future. Whenever I’m sad or down, somehow Taare Zameen Par comes to mind. Here’s an argument that could take place between Aamir Khan’s character in that movie and a student who is preparing for engineering entrance examinations. Aamir’s dialogue is a line from the song Bum Bum Bole from the same movie.
Aamir - Bhala machhliyan bhi kyun udti nahi? Aise bhi socho na.
Student – Sochna? Dude, that’s not even in the syllabus. It was not there in +1, not in +2 and the academy is not covering it in the crash course either! Why should I waste my time in doing something that is out of syllabus? Mere paas aur bhi bahut kaam hain!
Aamir – Huh?!
Sounds funny doesn’t it? But it’s true. How can you expect the student to think why fishes don’t fly when he’s too busy trying to find the apparent depth of the fish from the water level and the amount of oxygen dissolved in the water? That’s an insane thought. Sochna is such a useless thing to do, usse IIT mein admission nahi milti. And it doesn’t even get you a high paying job, fir uska kya fayda? Bekaar hai yaar. Guys who have done engineering, don’t take this seriously okay? I know all of you are very creative and all of you think a lot.
So then, why am I sad and pissed? This shouldn’t be happening because I just had my last major board examinations yesterday. I should be happy right? Probably not. Because now the next step is ready to be taken. It is now time to join the over-hyped crash course at some XYZ academy that will be my last chance at getting into a decent engineering college. When everybody is doing it, I should also right? As in bhed-chaal. I’ve had two or three heated discussions over the issue with my dad who wants me join the course as soon as possible. I, on the other hand don’t want to join one because I’m pretty sure it’s not gonna help. How can you expect the teachers to make me understand all the stuff that I have no clue about, in one month straight? He believes it’ll help, I know it won’t. I don’t want to waste their money but they refuse to understand. I tried explaining to him that I wanted to study on my own and grasp as much as I can, on my own. He believes that is a ridiculous thought and that I can do that side by side with the crash course anyway. After all, it’s just 6 hours everyday. I tried my best to explain my situation to them but they were adamant. Finally, mom ended the discussion by shouting at the top of her voice and reminding me how I’ve ruined the last 2 years and hence , I should not be allowed to take any more decisions for myself. They should decide what’s best for me, and so they will. Mom always does that. Dad also agrees, he told me to do something like he says for once, and I didn’t have any counter-argument. I had to give in, emotional blackmail always works with me. It’s funny how I’ve never done what I wanted. Whenever someone would ask me what I wanted to become when I was young, I immediately replied – “Engineer from IIT!”. And they would be impressed. But was that really what I wanted to be? I don’t know. All I know is that it was my mother’s dream/wish. I was told that I would become an engineer from a very young age, so I started wishing that too. Obviously, I didn’t know this is what it takes to become an engineer. Things were pretty good till my 7th grade. After that, I started falling because I started thinking. Earlier, I used to do what my mother told me to do. When I started doing what I wanted to do, everything came tumbling down. Over the last 2 years, things have been happy and miserable. Happy from the friends point of view and miserable from the parents and studies point of view. It’s amazing how these things have made me not want to live. No, this is not a suicide note, not just yet anyway. But I’ve wanted to just jump into the sea sometimes and drown, and go away. And I wonder if anyone would miss me i.e. the guy who used to be an intelligent student but ruined his life in the years that mattered the most. Chalo, anyways, ab kya fayda, I’ll just move on with the tags.

Movie Quirks from Xylene
1.) I hate multiplexes because they are very expensive. Why would I go to a multiplex and spend double the amount that I would in a regular theatre? When I go to watch a movie in a multiplex, I almost always have to sacrifice the Coke and the Popcorns which is very uncalled for.
2.) I can’t watch violent and gory movies. Watching humans rip each other apart or develop weird infections doesn’t excite me.
3.) I can watch movies over and over again even though they might not be my favorites.
4.) I hate it when people shout/jeer during intimate scenes in a movie hall. They seriously need to grow up.
5.) I’ve never had even one hot chick sit beside me in a cinema hall. Guess that only happens in the music videos. Or maybe I’m jinxed. Either way, it’s sad.
6.) I like comedy movies a lot. But sadly, there’s this thin line between comedy and crap which most movies manage to cross.
7.) I cry when I’m watching an emotional movie. A lot.
8.) I can go to any length to justify my favorite actor/actress. Even if I know they are wrong, there’s a bright chance I won’t accept it.
9.) I have this weird habit of observing Bollywood dance numbers very carefully. I focus on the dancers at the back and try to find familiar faces i.e. the ones which I’ve seen in more than one video. For example, there is this one chick who was I’ve managed to find in the video of “It’s Rocking”, “Mauja Hi Mauja” and “Sohni De Nakhre”. And she’s hot. And there’s this one guy with bad teeth and curly hair who is featured in practically every music video/bollywood song. He’s also featured in a recent advert of Polo.
10.) I like reading the credits in the beginning and at the end to basically see how they do it, as in how they show the Paramount or the Universal Logo and stuff like that. And then I like to check out the real names of the people who have played the characters that I’ve liked in a particular movie. I always want to see what Camera the movie was recorded on, what sound system they had used, names of the songs that were played in the movie, the sponsors, everything.

The only good thing about the day was perhaps the Calvin and Hobbes strip in the morning newspaper. Gotta love ‘em both. Oh, and if anybody is still reading this, please give me you phone number because I wanna personally call and congratulate you. And don’t worry, I won’t do to you what Vasudha did to this MBA guy who was trying to befriend her. :P
March 21, 2008 at 2:30 pm
darn.. why do you write such loooong posts.. i forget what I had to say by the time I finish reading ur posts! :-P
I have this weird habit of observing Bollywood dance numbers very carefully.
ha ha rilly? I have done that once or twice but don’t remember their faces!
March 21, 2008 at 3:23 pm
okay, i have to scan up the page to continue this comment, hold on…. okay, the interviews are hilarious, refering to the 8 things you are passionate about- numbers 1-6 I am in agreement with… also in agreement with 1-3,5,6 of 8 things to do before death… and 1-4 of songs could listen to over and over. sorry if this comment is confusing, but what do you expect after reading that post? :D
March 21, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Whoa! that’s a long post! how long did it take to write it?? It uaully take me like 5 days to get out paragraph outta myself!
your post is making me miss tags..i haven’t done one in ages..I’m so lazy! you know something..after completely reading this post, I’ve noticed that we have quite a few things in common!!
March 21, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Lol, I notice the dancers in the back too. Pretty long post, I guess you had to get out what was boiling in your heart for the last few days…….So all geared up for giving IIt entrace exams?
P.S. did u actually watch any films we recommended in the previous post’s comments?
March 21, 2008 at 5:56 pm
I read your entire post…but if I give you my phone number here it’ll make me sound like the female version of a typical orkut despo. :P :D
And you read all these?
2.) Comprehensive Mathematics.
3.) Comprehensive Chemistry.
4.) Modern’s ABC of Physics.
?? Good yaar..main toh sochti hi reh gayi ki padhna hai..
I totally connect with The Rant…it’s almost the same situation here. I messed it all up. But anyways. ab ho hi kya sakta hai…
Honestly, what is this thing about some people and coke?? It’s just basically only carbon dioxide and water…(whenever I say this to one of my friends, another coke n chipps aficionado , he gets really pissed off and doesn’t talk to me for the next half an hour :D Do we have the same reaction here? :D)
Don’t be so anti-crash course. Ab join kar hi liya hai to take from it what you will…sochna and everything else is alrite..but ab system hi aisa hai toh you can’t change that overnight. Admission ho gaya achchhe course mein toh life bann jaayegi yaar. All you board-exams-achchhe -nahi-huye won’t matter then.
Chal nevermind. ‘Crash’ kar aur Aish kar.
PS: “Aur sab theek andar bahar? ” :P
March 21, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Did you notice? Bakhtiyaar Irani was one of the extras in this song from Kuchh Kuchh Hota Hai, in a shiny yellow vest. Your sidebar says you’ve seen Nach Baliye, so I’m presuming you know who he is. :P
The eight songs, check all. Though Yeh Dil Deewana makes me snort everytime I hear it, because of the guy who sang it at the Indian Idli audition. :P
You wouldn’t want to be Billie Joe, if you heard him sining Time Of Your Life at the MTv New Year’s thingo. So very pissed. :P
Btw. Go easy on the public mortification, okay? :P
March 21, 2008 at 6:48 pm
@Balu: I don’t usually write posts this long man. Okay, they’re always long but not this looong. I had so much pent up emotions inside me..20 days no post man. :P
Yeah, I analyze Bollywood numbers really carefully these days precisely to find that particular chick I’ve talked about in the comment. I wanna see how she looks in different kinds of dresses. Have seen her in three songs, hasn’t disappointed yet and managed to look better than the heroines in all the three songs. :D
@NightWriter: Wow, you seem to be with me on all the points you could have understood. The rest were typically Indian so can’t blame you. Good thing. You want to make a musical band too? How cool is that? Do you wanna play an instrument too or just be the lead singer? And no, the comment wasn’t confusing. I’ve written this confusing post after all, and I can’t expect any better. :P
@Lemonade: Took me 4 days I guess. I had copied down the tag questions in a notepad file and had been answering them in my breaks between the preparations. The first part i.e. the Rant I wrote today only..took me like 15 minutes to think that up. I was so emotional so it came out pretty easily.
And as far as tags go, you have the golden opportunity to do one because I think Sanyukta tagged you to do the same Interview thing which is my first tag. Have fun, I would wanna see you doing a tag too actually. :D
And what points are we similar on? Don’t tell me you notice the Bollywood dancers at the back too. Okay okay, just kidding. :P
@Perx: Actually, I’m not giving the IIT entrance examinations. My parents decided buying the form would be a complete waste of money because I didn’t have a cat in hell’s chance of getting through. I don’t blame them either, 1000 bucks is not a small thing after all. I’m giving an exam for a college called VIT which is in Vellore and then AIEEE. After that, I’ll give the CET for the colleges in the state.
As far as the movies are concerned, I did download some of them after the recommendations but never got around to watching them. I thought I’d watch them after the maths exam but since yesterday the “whether to or not to join the crash course” thing has been going on and I’m way too disturbed and unstable to watch a movie right now.
@Sanyukta: Ah, I knew that lame attempt to get the numbers of the chicks wasn’t gonna work. Ladkyiyan bahut tez hoti hain. :P
Yes, I read all three of those books. But that doesn’t mean I actually read them entirely. A couple of chapters here and there and that’s it. Actually, if you look at them, they’ll look absolutely new. I’m planning to sell them and am hoping they’ll get me good amount of money because they are bound into parts too. And I read them because I had to for the school exams as well. They never followed the NCERT books at school for some strange reason.
It’s probably not the same situation with you man, at least you want to go into medical right? I’ve screwed up and I don’t even want to be an engineer, that’s where the major problem is. If I wanted to become an engineer toh apni zaroorat ko mehnat karta par jab banna hi nahi hai to fir there’s nothing to motivate me. Past 2 years, I’ve completely lost my interest in engineering. I wanna go into Mass Communication or advertising right now.
About coke, it’s not just CO2 and water. It also contains sugar and added flavors. And don’t ever say anything bad about it again. I’m even more touchy about coke than your other friend. He doesn’t talk for half an hour na? I won’t talk for 45 minutes. :P
I don’t have a big problem about the board exams not going fine, you know? Mereko problem yahi hai ki mereko crash course nahi karna hai yaar. Just go there everyday, sit for 6 hours and everything going over your head. Then go there the next day again to give a test, get bad marks, get humiliated. Bas yaar thak gaya main yeh sab kar karke. I’ve asked people, and I know they aren’t exactly gonna teach the basics in the crash course. Bas high level ke questions karwaate rahenge. Mere yahaan pe basics hi clear nahi hain, seedhe question to samajh aate nahi, tedhe waale kaise aayenge? Par chalo, ab karunga hi, option bhi koi nahi hai.
And yeah, sab badhiya andar bahar? Tum sunao, sab theek andar bahar? :P
@Vasudha: Yes yes, I know Bakta-yaar Irani. Tanaaz ka husband na. He’s the reason I downloaded a Himesh Reshammiya song from the Internet. A HIMESH RESHAMMIYA song. It was the song which was played on their first performance which I think was their best performance. The song obviously, was typical Himesh, bakwaas. But I never noticed him in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. But I do remember the funny dresses the chicks in that movie wore. Ab dekhkar to bahut hi weird lagta hai. Rani looked nice in that movie btw. And that Koi Mil Gaya song was pretty cool too. And who can forget that Sardar saying, “Tussi jaa rahe ho? Tussi na jaao”. I was compared with him innumerable times. Yea, even I used to be a cute sardar at one point of time. :/
Yeh Dil Deewana is a special song for me because I used to sing it a lot when I was young. Those days, I actually thought I had singing talent. I’ve sung that song at dad’s college, inside school and even in a market. And funny thing was I was always appreciated. Then one fine day, God decided to put the manly overtones into my voice and sab khatam ho gaya. And I don’t remember anyone singing Yeh Dil Deewana in the Indian Idli auditions either yaar, aajkal TV General Knowledge bahut low ho gaya hai. :/
He sung Time of Your Life badly? That’s a difficult thing to do. Whenever I’ve seen him singing that song, he’s done a good job. Plus I don’t really wanna be him. I just wanna know where the energy comes from when he’s singing St. Jimmy lol. Ekdum waisa lagta hai jaise Hindi filmon mein Bhoot ki aatma aa jaati hai. They should have had him in Bhoot instead of Urmila, aur bhi zyada chalti. :P
March 21, 2008 at 8:53 pm
@Ish: Itna likha tha to alag lag din tag post karna tha. I mean you could have kept backup posts. Yeh such much lamba tha..I could have commented on so many things..now forgotton.
one, there were many similarities in movie quirks meme. I also try to notice back dancers but somehow dont od that in a movie. But I do it for shows like Jhalak Dikhla Ja and Nach Baliye. Movie my rapt attention is on story and main actors I was amused reading the list of books you read recently. :)
March 21, 2008 at 9:59 pm
@Poonam: I know zyada lamba ho gaya. I tried to break it into pages par baat nahi bani. My theme doesn’t support that for some reason. And ab edit karne ka bhi kuch khaas logic nahi dikh raha mereko. Waise bhi I can see another post coming very soon, Sunday ko first day hai crash course ka and I don’t think it’s gonna be love at first sight. So ek aur gusse bhara rant is gonna come up.
Even I don’t notice the back dancers while watching the movies itself. That is more or less later when they show the songs on some music channel or something.

//Ladkyiyan bahut tez hoti hain. :P
Yeah, rite. Satya ka gyaan ho gaya tereko :P
It’s been more than 45 minutes to your reply so I think you are over the not-talking part :D
So if you don’t have any interest at all in engg try convincing ur parents ki nahi chalegi engg tumhaare saath…what’s the point in doing that if you already know you wouldn’t like to?
And I think you would do great in the mass media or advertising or something like that.
(and if you get around to becoming a content director for some news/lifestyle TV channel then remember there’s one very competent travel show anchor waiting for her debut. :P :D)

@ish: yeah, I love music so much thought making a band would be a reasonable thing. Well, I can’t sing even if my life depended on it, but i would really like to play the guitar.
March 22, 2008 at 12:28 pm
wow ! that was long indeed ! :)
i guess i will come back and read it again !! :)
March 22, 2008 at 12:54 pm
EEEEkkksss!!!!
Happy holi first of all. :)
It took me an eternity to read that. I should be given one chocolate atleast for the effort. :)
And the best part came at the end —> Eight things I say often
I liked a few of them. Will try using them.
And even I use “Hadd ho gai yarr” a lot.:)
And my eyes filled with tears when I saw the books you have read recently. Poor boy. :(
March 22, 2008 at 12:58 pm

March 22, 2008 at 3:49 pm
@ish
ha ha.. u continue ur audition buddy.. u can make her the heroine in case u r making a movie any time soon :-D
March 22, 2008 at 7:00 pm
ah i always use notepad…i have it nicely squeezed and word-wrapped. you, btw, type out comments three times before posting them, changing the words each time. no i know the secret behind your grammar…ahahaha…
*pats puppy on head, ties stones to its forepaws, throws in river*
*feels blessed*
*will reply to rant elsewhere*
100th comment was me…i’m the proudest of that!! yipee!
did u mean cold like i meant it?
forward roll???
ok, howsthis? the chicken didnt cross the road. it flu.
who is waldo. exactly.
platinum. i love how it will look on me.
ugh ugh ugh is better.
as many months as 18X12?
leaving comments. sure. we know. *sympathises*
movie quirks–
1)true kid true. yeah yeah! and i hate it when they give cold popcorn at the price of double.
2)me neither. whew.
yeah i’ve noticed the curly haired dude too…
i like to watch credits too but people always drag me off
yeah, me hates nadal too. capri-clad idiot.
lol@books….i’ve still not managed to read them abc’s
won’t give you my phone no. :P :P :P
March 22, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Ah ha! Finalement! Finalement.
I didn’t follow up on your suggestion to use Notepad. So, nothing else to write in this comment.
Except, did you know ‘Seasons in The Sun’ isn’t actually by Westlife?
And I did too want to play in a band. I know though that I’m not good enough to. So that goes.
March 22, 2008 at 9:05 pm
@Sanyukta: Yaar satya ka gyaan to pehle se hi tha, I was only trying my luck. Par ek bhi ladki ne number nahi diya, scheme totally flop ho gayi. Sab kharaab ho gaya andar bahar. :P
I tried convincing my parents, but they are teachers themselves so they manage to somehow convince me instead. Their logic is that I’m shirking away from engineering because it requires effort. According to them, I would have to work doubly hard to prove myself in anything else and hence I should do engineering. And then again, mom comes in, shouts, reminds me how I destroyed the last 2 years and the job is done for them. This is one problem in me, I can’t argue for a very long time. I submit rather easily.
If I become a content director for a channel, pehla show tera, pakka. We will show only ek hi show all day with you going to different places. Tu baat kar sahi.
@Xylene: I don’t blame you mate. Read it whenever you have the kind of time.
@Nids: woman.
@Balu: Not a bad idea, I tell you! I might do that if I go into movies. I don’t know if she can act though. But she doesn’t really need to, she only needs to dance and show skin. :P
@Nids: Haha, no, I never type out my comments in Notepad and I never change my words. That way I’d have to invest a lot more time on every comment and anyway, I’m not somebody who puts in big words or something into the comments. One thing however is that I do depend quiet a lot on Firefox’s spell checker.
How could you do that to a cute puppy? Sadist! :|
How did you mean your cold? My cold meant cold, as in no feelings of warmth inside. Just cold. Which reminds me, it’s getting hotter day by day. :/
Forward Roll. In that you have to basically roll forward..as in you put your head to the ground, then roll over. I couldn’t do that. And the teacher humiliated me big time. And everybody laughed their asses off. :/
A Chicken can’t fly can it? I’ve not seen one flying in the air. :S
Ah, I knew someone would know the curly haired dude too. I wonder how he got so popular. He’s not that great a dancer. It’s fun to watch back dancers also because they dance for their lives. Stars on the other hand don’t put in much of an effort most of the times.
Don’t even try reading them ABC’s. They’re utter crap. And Pradeep’s, and Comprehensive and Dinesh and all the rest of the shit too. Crap crap crap!
And I expected at least you to give me your number. Kya yaar, dhokha. :(
@Espera: Yea, I know Seasons in The Sun isn’t actually by Westlife. Actually I’ve seen many bands sing the song but when I was growing up, the most common version was the Westlife one, hence I associate the song with them. Google tells me it was originally sung by some Terry Jacks. My mum sang that song once in front of me so I asked how she had heard that song because it wasn’t possible that Westlife released it when she was a teenager. That’s when I came to know they’re not the only ones to have sung it.
March 22, 2008 at 9:57 pm
[...] 22, 2008 So, the last post got a little too long. So this one is gonna be shorter, well, comparatively shorter anyway. I [...]
March 22, 2008 at 10:37 pm
You missed me in your replies. :|
How could you??? :(
March 22, 2008 at 10:49 pm
@Amit Anna: OMG OMG DISASTER. Galti se ho gaya yaar, bas slip of the mind ho gaya. Very sorry, mereko maaf kardo please!
Happy Holi to you too, and chocolate pakka jab I meet you. Tab tak ke liye imagine ki maine chocolate diya, woh bhi mehnga waala okay? :P
Which of the things which I say did you like? Mera favorite toh woh “Sab theek andar bahar” waala hai lol. I say a lot of other things also baaki you can’t say them here na, over ho jaata hai.
And about the books, abhi toh kid aur poor hone waala hai. Kal se har roz 5 ghante ka crash course join karwa diya hai gharwaalon ne. Abhi board exams bhi khatam nahi hue..maine kaha tha 31st tak ruk jao par nahi ruke. Ab jaana padega..woh bhi har roz..even on Sundays. Kya yaar, bilkul bekaar baat hai. Mera to engineering se mann hi uth gaya hai in sab cheezon ke kaaran.
March 23, 2008 at 4:25 pm
na, na. someday, i’ll prove my point. leave it for now.
i can do a lot of things to cute puppies. evil things. mean, evil things, sadistic, mean, evil…ok, you get the point.
hey, i was just kidding, right?
i think i explained my cold. it referred to the weather, yeah.
ah. forward roll. i see. i once did it. not purposely. i just fell upside down, know what i mean?
NONONO. you just killed my joke. the chicken flu. flu. flu. flu. FLU!!!!
March 23, 2008 at 7:59 pm
I realised I didn’t say a word about the rant here. Ho hum, I’m too lazy, go read my senselessness on Fb again, if you want. :P
I missed out another vital thing last time. Nadal won! Woohoo! :D
I think it was the Koi Mil Gaya song only. And aww, the little sardar was so adorable! :D
Lol, the guy was freaking awful and hilariously so. He sang it like this -
Yeh dil [HAH!]
[in a flat narrative sorts] Deewana [HAH!]
Deewana [HAH!]
Hai yeh dil [HAH!]
Deewane ne [HAAAAH!]
Mujhko bhi [breathe]
Kar daala, deewana [all judges go HAH!]
He didn’t sing it badly, he was just very drunk. And he stopped midway, and said that too. Everyone cheered, and then he resumed singing. :P
March 24, 2008 at 12:43 am
Oye kya baat hai…itte tall tall promises karr rahe ho jee. :P And I gotta tell you that for entirely selfish reasons, now I don’t want you to become an engineer. :P
Okay, just kidding. Wish you all the best in whatever you decide to do. (except, of course, juvenile delinquency. :P )
March 24, 2008 at 9:50 am
I just noticed that it was @Anna earlier and now its @Amit Anna. Believe me, I was going to ask you to do that. Because “Anna” sounds like “Anna” in “Anna kournikova”. :lol:
And yes, I got the chocolate and maine kha bhi li.
Maine bhi join kiya tha crash course. Believe me, its for those students jo do saal se prepare kar rahe hain and need some revision. Otherwise its a waste of money. But, then you never know…it might work for you. :)
Mere liye to waste tha.
And from the quotes…i liked : Aur sab theek andar bahar?
and Bekaar hai bhai tu, ekdum third class.
Very Classy. ;)
And where is Ruhi nowadays, btw?
March 24, 2008 at 11:47 am
@Nids: Okay, go ahead, prove your point. I’ll be waiting.
You scare me in so many ways, woman. Whoever does evil things to puppies. I hate them but even I won’t do that. If it’s a grown up dog, maybe. And I know tum bachche bana rahi thi..matlab kidding. :P
Nay then, my cold had nothing to do with the weather. The annoying Summer is back now. I hate it hate it hate it.
Yea, I understand that. I’ve done that too a couple of times. Doing it when you fall isn’t a deal because it all happens by itself. But when you are asked to do it and you can’t, it’s bad. Very bad.
I thought there must have been a reason why you had written flu! Chal chodd ab kya fayda, ab to joke mar gaya. :P
@Vasudha: I saw you joining the Nadal group on Facebook the other day. I wanted to kill you for that, but I refrained. And now good news for you, Djokovic beat Nadal and Djokovic beat everyone and won the tournament. How can you like Nadal, how could you? :/
I’ll try to notice Bakhtiyaar next time. I did however notice Karan Johar in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Saala shuru se hi aisa hai. :P And they were showing Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na on TV yesterday. It was such a nice movie..especially that Woh to hai Albela..hazaaron mein akela..sada tumne aib dekha, hunar ko na dekha. I need to make my parents hear that. :P :P
Hahaha, that guy must have been really funny. That Hah comes precisely at two places as far as I remember. I’ve sung it so many times now. Yeh kis season ki baat hai? This season only? Man, agar yeh banda American Idol jaata toh Simon to iska khoon hi kar deta. Our own wannabe Simon Annu Malik doesn’t get anywhere close.
@Sanyukta: Thank you for your wishes Madam, and waise bhi mereko mere engineer banne ke koi khaas bright chances lag bhi nahi rahe. Dekho, lets see.
@Amit: Ah yes, it was Anna before. Then you weren’t replying so I thought you never noticed it because you thought Anna was somebody else. Therefore I made it Amit Anna. Mind reading hai hum dono ke beech mein. :P
Mereko toh pata hai yaar ki crash course ka kya logic hai. Dekha jaye toh mom dad ko bhi pata hi hai bas unko yeh lagta hai ki at least agar din mein 5 ghante jayega aur roz test wagehra dega to kuch na kuch benefit toh hoga hi. I seriously told them ki mat paise waste karo yaar, woh log toh aise hi 10,000 rupye maang lete hain. They say we can afford it but I say I know you can but I don’t want you to waste it.
Ruhi has been updating her tumblelog as usual. Dunno why she’s not replying to comments and all. I sent her an e-mail too yesterday par uska bhi reply nahi kiya abhi tak. Dekhi maybe aaj reply aa jaye. Maybe she’s just busy and all trying to adjust into the new place.
March 24, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Djokovic won? Woohoo-er, if there’s someone I don’t mind defeating Nadal, its Djokovic. Or maybe Safin too, but that would be one overtly imaginative dream.
Oh yeah, KJo was in DDLJ, he was Shah Rukh’s friend, right? I think he was there in one shot in Kuchh Kuchh Hota Hai too, he was being smothered down by everyone in the Bakhtiyaar dance sequence. :P
You have a keyboard too, right? Fancy wearing a tux and giving them an exclusive performance? It’ll end with you holding the last note very high, and very looong, and then their getting up suddenly, lights suddenly switching on, and an emotional – “Nahi beta, tum voh lambe kurte pehannevale patrakaar hi ban jao!” :P
I think it was the last season, yep. And Simon beats Annu Malik hollow. Annu Malik [sp?] is just a wannabe farce.
Oh, I meant it was Billie Joe who was drunk, not the guy who auditioned. :P
March 24, 2008 at 6:00 pm
:P
March 24, 2008 at 6:16 pm
@Vasudha: Yep, Djokovic won. And do you ever get disappointed? I guess not. And Safin, that guy depresses me ’cause even though he’s talented, he never wins. Too temperamental at the end of the day. I saw a hint of Marat in Jo-Wilfred Tsonga and that’s why I liked him. But I can never forget Safin beating Fed and Hewitt at the Australian Open. That was just brilliantness.
Yep, KJo was SRK’s friend. A desperate friend with a weird chashma on top of that. Never noticed him in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Again, will watch it carefully next time.
Yes, I have a keyboard. And LMAO@the performance. No, really, I don’t wanna do that. I don’t wanna make a fool out of myself on National TV. Not everybody is a wannabe Nihal. :P
Annu Malik is really annoying if you ask me. He and Aadesh Srivastava are two guys who think way too highly of themselves. And also the buddha six pack wannabe teen sensation Shekhar Suman as you call him. :P
Oh, Billie Joe was drunk. Isn’t he always? :P If not, then he does a pretty good job of looking it. :P
@Nids: :P? That’s it? Come on, you can do better than that. :P

oh, and your point about safari is?
March 26, 2008 at 1:47 pm
@Nids: Haha, you really loved doing that didn’t you?
And Safari. It is a web browser built by Apple for Mac, not Windows. It’s only now that they decided to release a Windows friendly version hoping to eat further into the Internet Explorer’s market. So I downloaded the Windows version and that’s why I’m showing it. And it’s pretty cool you know, if co.comments worked on Safari, I would have considered taking a break from Firefox.
March 27, 2008 at 4:42 pm
yes i did. don’t make me do it again.
safari doesn’t look all that pretty. try opera.

Interesting take on the education system.It’s similar to what everyone has in mind,only noone does shit about it.And besides dude,you have no clue about the IIT-coaching system in Hyderabad.You’re far,far better off.Trust me.
April 1, 2008 at 7:59 pm
@Kishore: Earlier I used to to think it was just me who thought like that. But now I’ve figured it’s everybody but as you say, nobody does anything about it. And I know things and coaching are the same all over the country. The centre is in Agra where they have these guys called Bansals and stuff. It’s all insane. The IIT’s don’t earn as much as these coaching institutes do in their name.
April 2, 2008 at 12:56 am
Umm.Dude,Bansals is in this place called Kota in Rajasthan.I went to a place called Ramaiah In Hyderabad and we had seven hours of classes everyday with a three hour test on Sunday!This went on for a year!
