I am back in Kolkata. As usual, the city sucks big time. Got nothing to do, just sit at home and watch TV for hours, get a headache, have disprin, watch TV some more and then have disprin again. The weather is as humid as 6 months before. It sucks whereas Traffic is worse. Zee cafe is my favorite channel these days. Get lots of TV sitcoms like Friends, Full House(I love you michelle..), Seinfield, Caroline in the city etc. I have discovered that when couples go out in this city and visit some cafe or restaurant, they both sit on the same side of the table. Found that very wierd. Went out only once to watch a movie “Krrish”. Going to the gym in our society 5 times a week. After working out in a gym like Deshpande’s for so many months, I find it strange to workout in our colony gym which is Air Conditioned. Also, the gym has lacs of equipment for cardio but not enough for weight training. Also, the trainer is a creep whose only goal seems to be hitting on the chubby girls who workout for hours. According to him, every free weight exercise is bad for the body and damages the bones and has been banned. Also playing the guitar even though the strings are worn and I am too lazy to go out and search for new ones. The few friends I had here are busy with their girlfriends. Anyways, plan to celebrate Dad’s birthday on 10th and leave by 11th. Got a new motherboard for my PC. Can’t wait to get back to nagpur and get back on my bike. A car is OK but not the same as a bike.

Exam fever
Exams started from 29th. Exams are almost every other day. Under a lot of pressure to study. Don’t have time to do anything much. Going to give exams in this sweltering heat is a nightmare. Waiting for the 19th when they will be over.
How I was swept away
It’s 4.30 and there’s still one hour to gym. But as usual getting bored, I head out towards the hostel on my bike as the weather is very good. Little did I know that it was the calm before the storm. Halfway, the wind starts blowing so fast that one second, the wind behind me, I can’t feel a thing going at 70 kmph, the other second, it’s on my face and I have a hard time keeping my eyes open. I had a hard time keeping the bike straight(that too a bullet!!!) On top of that, all the dust on the road concentrated and blew straight at my face. It was like I was slapped hard or something. Spitting dust from my mouth and shielding my eyes with my hand from the storm, somehow reached the hostel just in time before the rain pours down heavily. Half an hour into the rain, it’s mayhem. Cannot see anything out of the window. The rain drops are moving almost horizontally. Rain blew halfway up the hostel corridor and drenched half of us. After the rain, it’s a scene of devastation. People riding on cylces lying on the road, trees fallen. As we ventured out, we could see roads blocked because of fallen trees. The ICICI atm was devastated from what I heard. Anyways, I hope that the fabulous weather continues and gives us relief from the 50 degrees scorching heat.
Bye Bye Korn…
Before
After
Though I didn’t like you that much, I didn’t mind listening to your music occassionally. But like Linkin Park, you have betrayed the community of rock by teaming up with hip-hop artists like Snoop Dogg and LL Cool J. I refuse to allow your poster to be on my wall from now on. Will donate it to viggi most probably. By the way, I need some good poster to fill up the blank space on the wall. Don’t get any posters in Nagpur so will search for some when I get home.
Pink Floyd+Vodka=Disaster (I am screwed big time…)
Seemed like the perfect evening. Pink Floyd Pulse concert on DVD on my friend’s laptop. Me and my friend were having Fuel Vodka. Pink Floyd music and Vodka really combined have a really interesting effect. Couple with that the spectacular Visual Effects and the Psychedelic nature of the music and your head will surely start reeling. Anyways, We watched the whole concert when “Comfortably Numb” started playing. Eager to show off my guitaring skills, as I could play that song well, I picked up my guitar from the bed and accidentally hit over the vodka glass lying on the table and spilled vodka all over the laptop. Dried it off the best we could at that time but in the morning it won’t turn ON, so we took it to the service centre. Seems that the motherboard is shot to hell and I have to get a new one. A new HP laptop motherboard costs around 35,000 and I have to pay that so I am screwed. Don’t know where to arrange so much money. Meanwhile I am really depressed while I look for ways to arrange the money.. 🙁
Times of India sucks
Times of India used to be one of my favorite newspapers till recently. Now I am beginning to hate it. Why?? The answer is simple. There’s more gossip than news. I don’t want to pay even 140 bucks per month to see the same news headlines everyday: Angelina Jolie sleeping with Brad Pitt, Brad Pitt breaking up with Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie going to Africa, Angelina Jolie popping out her baby in a tub full of water, Angelina Jolie naming her baby Africa. When there’s no news of her, then it’s news of Tom Cruise or Kate Moss or some other B-Rated actor. The editor should understand, that the readers for this newspaper does not solely consist of bored housewives looking for gossip. There are people out there who need some real news too. Meanwhile, I am accepting advice from others as to which newspaper I should subscribe to.

What I have been doing..
Had my sessional examinations whole week. Got free yesterday with high hopes of watching movies to find my motherboard dead. It won’t power ON at all and changing the SMPS didnt help at all. Since most of my next month’s allowance will be gone in paying debts, I don’t think I can get a new one till after my exams. So I am back at reliace shitworld(A cyber cafe with good internet speed and locals playing counter strike and shouting obscenities..) Also, all my hopes of boozing after the exams are crushed as I don’t have any cash left 🙁 and ain’t expecting any till 3rd or 4th. Also, spent up all the fuel in my bike in a drag race with Neeraj. So, now I am just gonna buy some magazines in the next few days and spend time at home reading them. Maybe will also take up membership of a Library to read some novels. Anyways, will blog soon as soon as I fond something to blog about..
My room..
The last post by Grooveguru has prompted me to upload pictures of MY room. The only difference is I don’t plan to clean it up anytime soon(Maybe next semester). In the daytime, I transfer all the junk onto my bed and generally sit on my chair. At night, I transfer all the stuff back to my chair and sleep on the bed. Used to clean it up before but whatever I did, the room swiftly got back to it’s original condition. So now I have given up trying to clean it. After a time period, the room tends to attain a state of equilibrium where the size of the piles remain constant. New stuff is added to the piles but some old stuff keeps getting lost at the same rate thus maintaining the equilibrium. The last picture is of the kitchen(The maid is missing for 2 days now..). The sink is black because of the soot that got deposited when we converted it into a fireplace by burning most of the junk last winter.
Discipline!!
The 6 months are over.. The results are out. And again as usual, I have disgraced my family. Still, my cousins(bloody nerds) are getting good percentages and placements in good companies while I am ruining the family name and cannot get into most interviews because of my percentages not being high enough. I tried analysing why I can’t even respectable grades and came up with the conclusion that my life is terrible disorganized. I don’t study at all, sleep at ungodly hours, wake up mid afternoon, have irregular meals(duh!!! What’s breakfast???), tend to be lazy and skip out on gym, waste oodles of money and watch atleast 2 movies everyday. From now, I am going to make the following ammendments in my life:-
- Will sleep before 1 at night and wake up not after 8.
- Will have a heavy breakfast before 9.
- Will study THOROUGHLY(I tend to sit for hours with the books, just reading through the pages..).
- Will practice the guitar atleast 1 hour daily.
- Will NOT watch movies except very few and that too only if I have studied satisfactorily.
- Will NOT squander money away.
- Will NOT miss gym at any cost.
- Will NOT go out every evening and waste money on junk food.
- Will NOT spend hours on the internet, chatting.
As promised, now I won’t be buying an electric guitar until I get good results. That means more time to spend with ZAP for another 6 months.
