Rain, Rain .. Come Again..

A lightening here, a thunder there,
Giving little babies a scare.
Clouds gather in a sheep-like huddle,
While the dear ones cuddle.

Dancing down from their heavenly abode,
Running through the foliage,
Hurrying rain-man set up the gauge.
Quenching the parched earth,
Making all children shout in mirth.

A drizzle here, a downpour there,
Rain-gods are present everywhere.
Drizzling and dripping all day,
Just then comes out a little sun-ray,
Leaves flaunt their slivery shine,
Droplets look like diamonds on the vine.
A glimpse of the rainbow makes my day,
In minutes it vanishes away!

They tickle your face with surprises,
And tingle as if you'd been kissed.
Joys of rain come in all sizes,
Cycling,football & long walks on my list.
My new dress is in vain,
But I just love the rain.. ;)

When life's fubar...

In the worst times, in glumness, melancholy, when im blue... booohoohoo :(
one of the most crappy times, like some 1000 dementors hovering above..
yikes!! when life's fucked up royally...

FUBAR [f(ucked) u(p) b(eyond) a(ll) r(ecognition)] rather!!

my dearest friend still stands by me, to give me the much needed support,
nopes... no words would suffice the description,
golden hearts cant be described in words..





"And now I know I'll never be blue
coz I found a true friend in you"

Ganpati Bappa Morya!!

Vakratunda Mahakaaya Suryakoti-sama-prabha Nirvghnam kuru me deva Sarva-karyeshu Sarvada

'Oh, the curved-faced, gigantic Lord Ganesha,
you are like a million suns in brilliance;
always kindly free us from hurdles in all our endeavors.'

To those who dont really find any difference between 'love' and 'lust'


Yes, I agree, there isn't much difference...

Lust is when you love someone for whats on the outside.
Love is when you lust for whats on the inside.

Happy Dreams!!

Its about 3 a.m.
Off to sleep, After a day's work,
or killed time all day,
or maybe its been just another day.

As sleepy head drops on the pillow,
my mind wanders into the past..
Memories, scenes, flash involuntarily,
Some I've been a part of,
some I wish and long for, And
some that just appear and go by..

Of all these, memories are the ones
the best ones, the most valued by me.
Silly jokes, arbit talk, b'day bumps,
tears n' support in life's bumps,
Admist fights, arguments..
Smiles, laughter, hugs saying it all.
No words, just the presence,
the warm caring silence.

Makes me smile again in my deepest slumbers,
Does anyone have such friends, who make you smile,
even after they've gone, drifted apart,
Distances and spaces so large,
today we are poles apart.
But the happy memories,
still as fresh as dew in my heart.
I now realise my friends arent away,
they are still around me,
Just like the wind, which is always around
Can be felt, but cant be seen.

Happy memories make me smile again
and wipe my tears away.
Coz bestest friends are so precious
May these dreams hold me in the pain,
In fear and when I go astray
May I have Happy Dreams tonight!

Dream.....

Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away.

It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.

Finally an Engineer!

All the slogging, turmoil, admission woes, journal-work, file-covering, copy assignments has officially bore a fruit... I AM A COMPUTER ENGINEER now!!

"B.E.(Bachelor of Engineering), Computers
Sardar Patel College of Engineering"

Woaa.. sounds good eh... lemme me see, where did it all began? Was it the BE final exam,.. FE,.. .er.. the admission process, PCM(Physics, Chemistry, Maths)? No, wait... it goes back even further!! The vocational option!

Yess!! The vocational option that I could choose only because I had +5 marks of passing thr Intermediate drawing exam that added to my 10th std. marks... And gave that drawing exam in 9th std!
Oh-my-gosh!! It maybe a cake-walk for some nerds to go past the Mumbai University(MU)'s B.E. course unsacthed, but for me it began from that drawing exam leading to addition of precious 5 marks, which in turn helped me avoid Biology(eeyucky, sorry folks but I just hate it!) and one language!! Life was easier being in vocational, but it turned arduous in 12th std. , PCM seemed like 3 gaints, getting admission into a good engineering college was a must. (good = one of the best colleges in the city). 290/300 wasn't a big deal considering the fact that there were 540+ students above me. Our's was the last batch to have centralised admissions and God! what a day it was!! Though I secured an open merit seat(open implies general category + not the ones reserved for girls; merit means since you have enough merit pay only 10000 as admission fee instead of 40000,that was the admission for a 'paid' seat) seat in one of the best colleges in the city, it was after a long anxious wait..
All hard work paid off, it seemed when I got admission in Sardar Patel College of Engineering, my second option from the list of colleges, one of the best ones in Mumbai.

But perils of engineering in were little known to me and many freshers like me in F.E.(First Year of Engineering). Scrupulously attend lectures, take down notes, go to the library, issue books of reference and meticulously write assignments on my own! Seemed like the studious one, but all this goes down the drain when its time for submission. When we got a taste of MU exams, it was a horror thing put on only-plunge-down-at-different-speeds rollercoaster!! 18.2% passing percentage!!! We never saw a larger massacre in MU thereafter.. Fortunately, I managed to just clear all the papers with a meagre 51%.. It was a failure, for the 290-pcm shine had turned to dust... But, we just realised that there existed a leveller other than death, the MU!!

Second semester onwards we learnt some 'how-to's...
how-to be officially present on the prof's attendance sheet
how-to have a good image in front of the profs
how-to bother about studies rather than lectures(ironical, but true!)
and last but not the least.. how-to enjoy life in engineering!!(SPACE was a revered festival for us!)

Life moved on, semester after semester, who would do PhD type studying for each subject after realising 60% was enough to be eligible for campus placements, so rest of the time just do the usual chores.
Chores:-
1) copying assignments, programs, practicals, etc..
2) photocopying(popularly known as 'Xeroxing') notes, sometimes assignments too; to go home and copy!
3) print the fliched-or-donated-or-co-operative programs, some guys even photocopied printouts and submitted their files
(pssst.... The most important machine in a computer engineer's B.E. life is the Xerox machine... trust me!!!)

T.E., had the best of times making good friends, taking part in extra-curricular, enjoying engineering life. Mini-projects, fliched projects/programs, politics, chat-rooms and paper-balls during lects, highs and lows, friends and foes.... had a taste of it all...

By the time we were into the last year of this then so-called wretched life(the perils still existed, we just learnt to circumvent a bit!) we had actually become used to it!! A closely-knit group of friends, classmates pulling each other's leg, the unforgettable Goa trip, the hours spent in project lab., ... man!! I sure miss all that!

Today, as our BE results are out... oh, let me make it a bit more official...

Results for B.E. ( Sem. VIII ) (Rev.) Computer held on MAY 2006
The result of seat number 6048 is Passed with First Class
Congratulations

... makes me ponder, I have actually made it!! Cleared, passed B.E. with a first class!! All the pains and slogging comes to an end, a well-deserved result. In fact most of us have got a first class, an award to the patience and agony, that each has gone through some time or the other in past four years.

Kudos to us! Engineers, finally! Best Wishes to all those who have sailed with me in the class of 2006, Computers! Have a great future!!

MY OTHER BLOG....

Let the nicer and sweeter thoughts be at www.bloggybelongstocyberfreak.com

and the black cloud of excruciating anguish, resentment (with a silver lining of Mumbai people's undying philanthropic spirit) be on

Holding Mumbai Hostage!!

The statue of SS Head's wife is vandalised, which is condemed by one and all.
But should it amount to Mumbai Bandh or Maharashtra Bandh??

Buses being burnt, rasta roko, stopping the trains!!
Which person's soul would want all that to happen if some miscreant spoil's his/her idol!!?
Sentiments maybe hurt, but people cant go around vandalising Mumbai!!
Shops that shut down voluntarily did that out of fear, not in any anticipation for bandh.
Bandhs have been banned by the court, i guess way back.
Condeming shouldnt be done by closing down the city, holding it at ransom, pelting stones on public property and shops.
Bhandup case, in which policemen were killed is being projected by SS as absence of law and order, but rather its the irk of citizens that spills in some or the other form. And how rightful is a person who claims that 'the government has failed in providing proper law and order. people just do whatever they want"; invoke bandh, burning of buses. Isnt he supposed to shun from violence himself?

And the news keeps pouring in...all afternoon, from different parts of the state. Mumbai just had its share of monsoon woes(instead of enjoying the beautiful rain, people make frantic calls, try reaching home or reaching out to know about their dear ones as soon as they see incessant rains) , calling for a bandh, blocking the western express highway... Mumbai has no relief.

Country's commercial capital pays more than enough taxes, still doesnt have good urban infrastructure. (South Mumbai remains fine, while the 'burbs get flooded in filthy gutter water) To add to it we have these Bandh-planners, which just amounts to mega business loss for that particular day.
Who gives them the right to hold Mumbai hostage?



PS: a point to be noted.. some the protestors were cheerfully smiling on their way, while making all those obstructions whenevr some news channel's camera was on; as if they were out on a sunday morning walk!!! So much for the so-called sentiments that were hurt!!!

PS 2: about a total loss of Rs. 1 crore which doenst cover the business loss of closed shops and markets.
Who pays for this huge loss?
Was this a planned strategy?? just to get focus n limelight on SS??
'No bandh' was declared.. was it because of the 25 lakh fine slapped on SS fro the Aug '03 band?!
Isnt it the party's responsiblility to look after the statues put up by them??
What about the statues of nation's great leaders who have pigeons n doves shitting over them?

PS 3:
A girl in bhandup is hit by the SS miscreants' stone hurrled, jus to disrupt normal routine.
She lies in a hospital , wounded with multiple injuries.
How was she guilty to suffer this if some party-head's wife's statue is being vandalised??!
Who pays for her medical expenses?
