Day 2 : And I am still sleeping!!!!

HC said...

One of my school friends talks to me after a long time...

PSM : Arey!! Tu kitna badal gayaa re!! Hamesha first bench pe baith-ke sotaa tha!!

PK : isme badalne waali baat kya hai?? Aaj kal college mein last bench pe baith-ke sotaa hoon!!

I mean that is the memory of me he had as a friend back in school!! But school was fun!! I used to go to school after exhaustive swimming workouts and be very tired from the first hour itself!! So, what do I do?? Doze off... zzz... zzz

My teachers always understood this and never disturbed me while sleeping. I really appreciate them for that!!

I go to college, I cut down my swimming workouts but still have the hang overs, it kinda became a lifestyle for me. I 'HAVE TO' sleep in the afternoons!! So, I sit on the last bench and doze off... zzz... zzz

But here, things changed a little. A lots, in fact. People don't understand why I sleep and keep disturbing me. So, I can't sleep well while in class. If caught by a lecturer, just like the protocol says, "I'm down with a severe headache/fever". I can always bring that feeling of sickness onto my face. :)

And then there's HC, who's a unique episode all together!! I come with him on the bike... Coming is fine. The trouble starts when we're going back... As I said, I don't get to sleep well at college. So, all of it kicks in on the way back. So?? What's wrong with that?? Well, that in itself, nothing. But I'm the one driving and remember its a two-wheeler. So HC is hitting me (hard) on my back at equal intervals of time and asking me, "Dude, are you sleeping??" and I'm like, "Naah (how did he know!!!)" And luckily, we're both in one piece(each!!) and fine till now!! See, all this because they fail to see the 'cause' of the 'effect'. Whose fault is it?? I need to catch some Z's to be active for the time I'm awake!! Its HUMAN!!

Even till today, all I do in the afternoons is sleep. Friends partying in the afternoon, PK - sleeping. Family chatting in the afternoon, PK - sleeping, examinations in the afternoon, PK - sleeping, and it goes on...

Day 1 : I am NOT a hypcorite!!!

HC said...

Why would I even think of calling myself one, say, even if I am one!!

I don't even like the idea!! Yes, we do a lots of things that are not exactly in tandem with what we say but, that's what we call 'living in the real world'. I call it that.

Seriously, what difference would my 'jumping' a signal on an 'empty road' affect the world!! No, honestly, guess it would only affect the horse waiting on the zebra crossing for the pedestrian signal!! And damn that horse, it doesn't even know red is 'stop' and green is 'go', so, it doesn't even affect that now!!

And yes, my littering on the road 'would' make a difference to the whole world. The butterfly affect. So, I don't litter. No, not even a bus ticket or a mint wrapper.

One thing, which may sound a little contradictory is bribing cops. But, hey, as I said, I 'really don't feel' the need to carry a 'No-Objection Certificate' to drive a vehicle I bought in this country (all taxes paid!!) just because I cross the border to another state. And they Raj is the only one playing divide politics!!

Conclusion : (yelling out loud from the corner of a cliff) "NO, I'M NOT A HYPOCRITE" (echoes)

Blogathon : I'm taking Chopra's call...

He said : "I'll do one each day, for 60 days..."

I said : "Yeah right!! Let's see... How about you not making it, being your first post!! And even if you do, I'll come and break your limbs on the 59th day!! HAHA!!"

And I ended up thinking...
Not a bad idea though!! I can try too, I mean a discussion, your view, my view... agree - disagree... good idea dude!! We can actually fulfill our dream of going 'maa-behen' with each other!! debates... Yeah, lets do it... As you say, 'damn cool' Chopra!!

So, here I go... on Hit's Blogathon...

P.S. I don't really like the idea of 'moving-on' from a really awesome idea that occurs to me without fully enjoying its flavor, I mean post after post after post. But heck, what's life without a little uncertainty and "that's the way the cookie crumbles!! :P"

And oh, I'd say just 'bookmark' the two pages and 'have fun at someone else's expense' (and we both at each others) Yes, this is the kind Dennis Leary calls, you know what...

I'm home... HONEY!!!


I remembered a conversation between a few classmates of mine back in my school days. Was something about golf balls and honey!! So, I asked Guruji about it and look what I found!!

1) There's a patent on this thing that describes the method that involves filling up the core of a golf ball with honey!! United States Patent 4805914

2)Honey is incredibly flexible. You can find honey in everything from car radiators to golf balls. It isn't just a great way to top a biscuit or to make a sauce. You can use it at home in first aid and there are hundreds of ways to make it a part of your daily hygiene or beauty regimen. (www.grandmascraftguides.com)

3)Up until the introduction of a special solid core model in the late 1960s, golf balls usually had a rubber center filled with a liquid. Many of those golf balls contained honey. Honey can keep indefinitely and had all the physical traits necessary to make a great liquid-filled golf ball. Today, most balls have a solid core and the mass-produced liquid-center balls use synthetic materials. However, one can occasionally find an older ball that still has honey in the middle.

And the endless uses of honey go on... Not to forget, the sweet cooing between the lovely couples... "I'm home honey", "What's for dinner honey??", "Honey can we go to my mom's this weekend??" and so the cooing goes on and on... Guess the married folks can add in the tinge of reality about the sweetness of honey in their lives... Listen to 'Honey Honey' by ABBA.... whooo the sounds in the song... so hhhoney!!!

And until later, see you when I see you...

Or, is it, goodbye honey!! :P

Shaked and speared


'What win I, if I gain the thing I seek?
A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy-
Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week?
Or sells eternity to get a toy?
For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy?
Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown,
Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down'


I just loved these lines the most from 'The Rape of Lucrece'

P.S. Of course, I haven't read the whole poem!! yet

haan. to main yeh keh raha tha...

There are two kinds of people in this world my dear friend.
One, those who go for the kill, knowing they can kill.
The other, who go for the kill knowing they can come out 'alive'!!


Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey...oh...

Thought it would be the toughest exam of the semester but, somehow, I pulled it off!! I did most of my reading some 90 minutes before the exam and that's what worked!! haha.

LIFE has never been better...

Three years and one semester down the engineering 'way of life' and I'm glad I am where I am. I've got an exam Monday morning but, still I do not feel it yet!!! Got very used to this culture of examinations and anticipations.

Because I know it now. Doesn't matter what you really write but, write you should. Fill up the pages with the most otiose lines you could come up with and make sure there are a lots of them and you'll be satisfied with what you get in return. I guess most of the girls always knew this and for some reason didn't find it that important to be shared with men (definitely not generalizing here). I couldn't believe until I actually saw a few(most!!) of them go on and on and on during many of the exams I've written, while I find myself just enjoying the beauty of the nature around!! The modern baroqueness they exhibit in their scripts... nothing short of a modern spectacle!! Guess its born-talent for a few!! Sadly my style of writing has always been nothing but laconic.

But today, I am a changed man. I know the tricks of the game too... :) I'm happy that I'm not the only one this time (not that I wouldn't be happy otherwise!! I'm the kind who thinks, 'if not for me, then, not for anyone else either'). In better words, just like my aunt tells me : हम तो डूबे है सनम, तुम्हे भी लेकर डूबेंगे

Some 14 of us were out today to celebrate Arun's birthday and all of us just chilling out (so much that we had the AC turned off!!). At least I know they haven't been studying for the time we were together and no one really looked like they gave a damn about the exam. WAY TO GO GUYS!!!:):):) WOW, FEELS SOOOO GOOD!! And I don't intend to change my plans anytime soon either!! So, I'm back to doing what I do best... JUST CHILL

P.S. Wishing you a Happy Birthday dada!!!
