As good as it gets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Excuse me for the long absence from the blogging world.... The primary reasons for it are...

1) Since IBM postponed my date of joining i started doing internship(which was a stupid mistake as i neither work nor sleep....So this break is being wasted)

2)Nothing interesting happening in my life( don't wanna bore you people with regular stuff)



Now lets start off with some interesting news....firstly i got a SWIFT( as usual red colour)....

The day i got the car will be etched in my memory forever because of two reasons...



Firstly i got a faulty car which stopped after 5kms and i had to push the car( which was embarrassing considering that it stopped on airport road at the signal. How annoying.... The passer by must have thought that i didn't know how to drive the car). The mechanic turned up and changed the battery and the car took off again.... Unfortunately the car stopped yet again and this time in Cambridge layout( how embarrassing can it get?????) I thought this would be enough to carve the incident in my memory...Poor me!!!!! there were some more memorable incidents that followed.....



After a great deal of fighting, the sales manager agreed to replace the car..... It took a week to get the car, this time when i took the car everything went smoothly until i reached the TRAFFIC GANAPATHI temple( it's the temple on kasturba road, even i didn't know that the temple was known by this name)... I left my shoes at the entrance under my mom's surveillance to call the pujari( who was an angry old man)...It took some time to convince the pujari to do the puja since he got very pissed with my attitude( dunno what i did to offend him).... Coming out of the temple there was a lot of commotion near the entrance and i could see my parents in the midst of it...I did realize something went wrong and suddenly a thought struck me saying that my shoes must have gone missing( guess my sixth sense is very strong). there you have it, my shoes went missing right in front of my mom.... I was shell shocked but there was nothing i could do. That moron who stole my shoes left his rubber slippers behind( Guess he left them to console me. Seriously!!!!!!!!!!! Such things happen only with me)... Anyways a very bad outing and these things made sure that i wouldn't forget the day i got my first car......



well you guys must be thinking what's the big deal????? But the movie is not over yet...... Abhi Picture Bhaki hai ( i wanted to tell this dialogue since the day i watched OSO)...

Everyone gets excited when they get a new vehicle and it wasn't any different for me, apart from the fact that i was a little too excited. With a great deal of fighting and shouting at home, i somehow managed to get permission to go on a trip in the new car. So my friends and i took off (vvvvvvvvrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmm). Mysore was the first choice because we wanted to visit the Infosys campus and since our very good friend was still there we decided to hit the road. The trip was mind blowing not only because of the fact that i was driving my car and experienced the high of my life but also due to the fact that we went to Gopalaswamy Betta, an aesthetic place. You should visit that place to know how it felt to be there. Wait a second!!!!!!!!! Didn't i say there is another bad incident??? Then why am i rambling about the trip???? Well lets get to the point. The day i got back from Mysore, two more pair of shoes got stolen from my place (A thousand curses to the guy who stole my shoes). Now isn't this as good as it gets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHAK DE OR SIMPSONS

Last weekend was one of the best in recent times.......

Watched chak de india on Friday(thanks to my frens who are srk fans)and Simpson's on Saturday.

Firstly, lets talk about chak de.
Brilliant movie ( the title song seems to have lifted the spirits of the Indian cricket team, which was on the verge of losing the first test ended up winning the test series)

The movie is different from the other Indian sport movies (notably LAGAAN and IQBAL) since it's not based on cricket....

It clearly portrays how cricket is given so much preference over other sports... It also shows how sportswomen are not encouraged in our country... Another important aspect of the movie that i liked was the way they showed how sportsmen are treated after winning and losing... I hope the movie enlightens at least some of the people and that they should refrain from behaving like hooligans.....
The movie resembles the Hollywood flick "mighty ducks" which is based on ice hockey...

secondly, Simpsons......
wwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(can't think of any other way to describe it )

I didn't want to watch this movie at all... My friends dragged me along to the theatre ( paid 210 for the ticket :( ) In the end, i enjoyed it a lot more than i thought i would.... Two hours of non stop entertainment... A must watch for people who love comedy flicks....


It was very difficult to choose the better movie among the two and since i like comedy flicks a lot more than the serious movies, my vote goes to The Simpsons. Congratulations to the makers of Simpsons (the longest standing show in American history, 20 years and counting)....


Now lets get to some insane things I've done during this week....
i went to Mysore (u must be thinking what's insane in this) alone on my bike(does sound like a foolish thing to do right???). Met with an accident on the highway (had to happen despite my visions about such things i decided to take my bike).

Luckily, my bike and I survived (some people would wish the opposite had happened)... Just a hairline fracture to my ribs and bruises to my knee.. No broken bones (thankfully, otherwise I'd have been grounded forever).....

Anyways apart from this minor glitch the trip was awesome....Met my friends who are working in infy(the campus is one helluva place)... Unfortunately we were not allowed into the campus... went to planet x in Mysore where we bowled and went karting....

The journey back home was the tricky one... Visibility is very poor in the nights, quite a few cars keep darting past you at super high speeds and a lot of people keep running across the roads (dunno if they are playing a game of some kind, every now and then some idiot runs across the road). In spite of all these problems the journey back to Bangalore took less than three hours.... Nonetheless a memorable trip with all the thrills and spills..... Until next time, adios amigos (hope I've got this right).....

Seriously!!!!!!! Tell me this isn't happening..............

I came up with this insanely ridiculous idea of being a blogger (i hope the term is right). Writing my first post is making me think otherwise.

Isn't there anything else that i cud have thought of??????
Why blogging of all the things ( i swear it's a dreadful idea when u know that there are quite a few people waiting for an opportunity like this to go for the kill)????????

It all started on that dreadful evening when i met up with two of closest friends(recipe for disaster I say, they end up suggesting the wrong things all the time).... As usual we were having a good laugh about some of the stupid things we've done..... All of a sudden Mr X said that i should try blogging and Mr Y seconded his opinion... As their suggestions always gets me into trouble i decided against it.... Unfortunately destiny had other plans.... A series of incidents shook my happy world...

Firstly I finished engineering (Yippee!!!!!!! I survived four years of torture dished out by my univ)...
Had to leave college :(. So no more hanging out with friends....
Then my friends joined their respective companies, some left town and the rest are very busy with work....
So everyone is busy except for yours truly.....

why is that?????

Wait a minute..... Isn't it strange....
What am i doing when others are busy with work???
Well!!!! You are right......


I am jobless at the moment..... I will be jobless for another couple of months, cause my company decided that i should be one among the privileged lot to have an extended break (but that doesn't mean i should be doing something which can get me into a lot of trouble).... That is why i thought i should start posting blogs....

Despite being jobless i shouldn't be doing this. The reasons are.....

Firstly, i don't think i am capable of doing this (I'm sure this is a valid reason)......

Secondly, i might end up writing about highly confidential matter(Oh boy that's asking for trouble)...

Thirdly, why do it when other people are doing it and keeping u entertained....

In spite of all these things i decided that i should give it a shot and here i am writing my first blog.....

By now u must be thinking that it was an idiotic idea to read my blogs.... Well I'll not blame u for that...
It is my first blog isn't it?????? It's bound to get better.....

So just lookout for updates(if this one turns out to be reasonably good)..... I promise the ones after this will be entertaining....
