Hails from Gangtok and studies Architecture in Nagpur.
Dresses up like a hip-hop artist but wields the guitar very well. He is generally nocturnal but sometimes finds it necessary to produce some vitamins and hence exposes himself to sunlight. Eats whenever he feels hungry and spends his allowance within the first 5 days of the month and then lives on borrowed stuff. Bathes whenever fellow hostelites throw him out. Is famous for his wierd haridos and piercings. Disappears for months from the face of the earth, nowhere to be found just to be seen one day in the hostel as if he never left. Overall a friendly and nice person.
Adventure!
Yesterday was a day of adventures. College was cancelled because of some cultural function the night before. Woke up at 12 in the afternoon, summoned Orko to come for lunch, then me, him and Neeraj had south indian lunch. There, we planned to go karting. We asked others but noone was interested. So at around 3, we set off for the place which is around 25 kms from Nagpur. Thumping at a steady 70 at NH 69, we accidently overshot the place by around 25 kms. We turned back and finally arrived at the place. It was deserted. After much bargaining and haggling, the deal came out to be 10 laps each for a total of 900. The cars were flimsy but fast. Halfway through my second lap, turning at a speed of around 50, my kart spun and blew the clutchplate. Anyways, after much interruptions(including dogs running after us at the tracks!!), we all completed our laps. We left just as darkness sunk in towards Nagpur. We arrived at around 7:30, went to Poonam Chambers for rolls. after that, we returned home. I was so tired, I couldn’t wait to lie down on my bed when Tak called and asked me to join him for some nighttime adventure. Even after my constant refusals, he won’t take a NO for an answer. I picked up Orko from the hostel and we went to the orchards to steal Oranges. We were 10 people on 5 bikes, riding along the highway with the headlights off looking for good orange trees. Finally, we found a farm which was loaded with oranges. 3 of us provided a lookout while the others climbed over the wire fence and stole oranges. After filling our bags to the brim, we started our bikes, and shouting and singing, we left the spot when midway, we realised that 2 of the bags were empty. We went back to the same spot and repeated the previous maneuver. This time we also filled our t-shirts and shirts with oranges. Again, we left shouting and after dropping Orko at the hostel, came home and immediately fell asleep.
What I have been doing..
Basically, I am too busy. The weeks sail forth like a blur. It ain’t that I am too busy to blog but there’s nothing new to blog. Go to college every morning, then come back, rush off to gym, then come back, go out and eat something, play Need for Speed Most Wanted, check my mails, surf around checking my friends’ blogs. Have dinner and then read myself to sleep. Several times during the week, I have to replace my pleasure activities with writing practical files(I write my assignments in class which saves time and saves me from the boring drones of the teachers). Also, there’s always the same feeling of having less money than I need. The book I am currently reading is “To kill a mockinbird”. Excellent book. I will be sorry when I reach the end. Was plannign to go to Bengaluru(Bangalore) to meet a friend but turns out he ain’t a friend, just a fiend full of empty promises so will most probably givin Microsoft Certification exams during holi. Hooked to a great song by Sixpence none the richer-Kiss Me. It’s a cute song, sung by a cute girl and with a cute video. And top of that, the chords are really easy
D Dmaj7 D7 Dmaj7 which is really cute….
Here are the cute lyrics.
Will get back if there’s any news.
Jam, Jam and some more Jam..
Today me and Neeraj met up at the Pratap Nagar CCD and decided to jam out. We got his dilapidated GIVSON from his place and headed out to mine. For more than 5 hours, all we did was wear our fingers out. I was on the lead and he was playing the chords. We played numerous Bryan Adams songs, Eagles(Hotel California, Tequila Sunrise), GNR, Metallica (One, Nothing else matters), Pink Floyd(Another Brick in the Wall, Wish you were here), AC/DC(on acoustic!!!), Scorpions, Nirvana and many more. We discovered that my plucking and his strumming perfectly complemented each other. Is this the beginning of a band?? Maybe.. What we need now is someone on the drums, someone on the bass and some singer.. The first 2 are really hard to find and the few of these that we have seen are much more talented to play with us. So next weekend again, we are gonna let the beer and the music flow.(I hope that the avian flu hadn’t arrived as we could also have enjoyed the taste of Tandoori Chicken) Beer, music and chicken are the clues to the secret of having a great evening!!
What genre of Rock am I?
Heavy metal! You rock! It’s mostly about the
music instead of lyrics for you…but you
channel most of the emotion through the
lyrics! Mosh pit for you! Just be careful
you don’t give yourself a concussion with so
much headbanging…
What genre of rock are you?

The amazing traffic of Nagpur..
I heard that there was some information about the traffic sense of the people of Nagpur circulating around the people of Chandigarh and I thought it necessary to dispel the rumours. I am from Chandigarh and have never seen better roads or driving sense anywhere else in India. Anyways, getting back to the people of Nagpur, I would certainly say that they have great driving sense. But it is a little bit different than the rest of the country. I have tabulated the traffic rules modified especially for the high I.Q. people of Nagpur in the following points:-
- Remove any silencers/mufflers from your bikes/cars.
- If you are driving slow, drive on the rightmost lane so that people can overtake you from the left.
- If you are driving on the wrong side of the road, instead of driving by the side, drive straight through the middle. If it is dark, make sure you do not switch on your headlight.
- If you want to turn left, turn the right blinkers ON, start turning right and at the last moment change your mind and turn left thus fooling the ones behind you.
- To save your brake shoes from wear, don’t brake at all at a trafic signal. Use the cushioning effect of the vehicle already standing at the signal to stop you. If you are on the vehicle which has been bumped into, utter a few obsenities in Marathi and then ignore the incident as a daily occurence.
- While crossing the road, stand by the side of the road till you see some traffic. Wait till the vehicle is a few meters from you and then start crossing the road at a run.
- If you are female, disregard everything around you and start crossing the road without straying your eyes from your destination on the opposite side of the road. If you are attentive enough to hear the screeching of vehicles coming to a stop because of you, give them a look as if they deserve death.
- If you have already crossed the road, turn back at the last moment so that at least one of the vehicles(only 2-wheelers) hits you head-on. In the unfortunate incident incident that the driver survives, start shouting about how it was the driver’s fault and allow the surrounding people to beat him into a pulp and break his bike. Also ask for compensation.
- If you see a poor canine somewhere on the road, try to run over him to liberate him from his painful suffering life.
- If you are driving along a road and suddenly see something of interest, brake immediately in the middle of the road. If someone bangs into you from behind, lay all the blame on him.
- If you feel the need to park somewhere, disregard the parking places and park in the middle of the road in a way which would cause the maximum traffic disruption.
- If you are a pedestrian, throw stones and pebbles at the people driving by.
- If some blows his horns at you from behind indicating that he wants to overtake you, move a little to the left to let him come to par with you and then suddenly start moving right slamming into him, testing his reflexes.
- If you are on your vehicle, stationary at the side of the road and want to start moving, throw your vehicle in high gear and drive perpendicular to the road swerving widely so as to go as far as the other side of the road before coming back into your own lane.
- If you are on a cycle, instead of driving straight, drive in a manner so as to make a figure S on the road touching all the lanes.
- If more than one bikes are driving along, drive in echelon formation taking up the whole width of the road and refuse to let people overtake you.
- If you want to prove that you are a true Nagpurian, as soon as you pass by some happening place, throw your bike in high gear, roaring past all others, swerving your bike left and right and then brake suddenly burning rubber on the road.
Had a B’Day Blast
My Birthday is finally over. Now I can breathe a sigh of relief. It didn’t start off too well. After my mom called up, my friends “celebrated” my birthday if celebration is the right word for it. I was beat up mercilessly for around 20 minutes. Repeated pleas that I was sick fell on deaf ears. While the molecules of their feet was fusing with the molecules of my arse, I couldn’t help but think that I deserved it as I had done the same thing(or maybe more) on their birthdays. After that came the time for gifts. I got 3 t-shirts, a GeForce 6200(256 Mb DDR), A bottle of swedish vodka,greeting cards, a pen, a keyring and several burst blood vessels both on my arms and my back(which I didn’t realise till the next morning). Couldn’t party because I was sick and also because of some communal riots in this city. Anyways, this is the last birthday I am going to get beaten up in and am sure to take revenge on the people whose birthdays are yet to come (You are dead Rohit!!!!!!!)
The standard of Nagpur University
It’s almost 4 years I am studying in this shitty university and recently, this fact came to light. I couldn’t understand how no one noticed this for more than 15 years since the existence of the university. It’s the admission card for the exams. Apparently it’s not an admission card but an “ADDMISSION CARD” as you can see in Exhibit A.
Exhibit A
I cannot understand how a university, which holds examinations for all the subjects in english does not know basic spelling skills. As you can see in the next exhibit(Exhibit B), the basic rules for the examinations are in Marathi. How the hell are the students who don’t understand this so called “prestigious language” who make up almost 70% of the college crowd supposed to understand what’s written??
Exhibit B
P.S.: I forgot to mention that girls and boys are alotted separate roll numbers so that they don’t sit together and hence spoil the culture of the great state…
Arrange the following…
One day I got an sms asking me to arrange the following in order of their importance in my life.
God, Friends, Parents, Love, Money, Sex. So here you are:-
- Parents
- Friends
- Love
- Money
- Sex
God ain’t on my list because I refuse to add somethin on the list which doesn’t exist. I would be obliged if you would arrange them according to your choice in the comments section..
Bryan!!! You rock!!!
On the 4th, I had the most fun I ever had in my life. It was my first live concert by an international artist. I was there almost 2 hours before the concert and even then found a long queue. The concert was opened by the Superfuzz Bigmuffs who were excellent but didn’t quite please the crowd because they were playing originals. Anyways, Bryan just ROCKED!!!! He played all the good songs and really sent the crowd into a frenzy. After the concert, my whole body was paining and my throat was sore. Anyways, gotta go now, will post soon..
