The TriP

I am bored to death today. It is one of my last days at the company i am working right now. Have been reading Calvin and Hobbes for a long long time and that too is getting a little boring, no mood to work and i am feeling really sleepy. its around 4 in the afternoon and i just remembered that i have missed my afternoon tea break today.
OK, now to the real business, we planned and executed successfully a trip. It was planned meticulously in the beginning and even though the planning got a little boring as the trip date neared, nevertheless we did it!!!.
As always there were some things which don't go right and there were somethings which didn't go as "planned" in this trip too.... so here starts the cribbing, or more correctly the whining...
First to start with the "gangsta" with his designer undies decided to play the usual stuff which he is so famously known for, people asked him, pleaded and then even begged him to come along, and finally after a lot of show-off he did agree...
even before this "point-to-be-noted"-- one guy actually had some project release which i am sure he did it well in "Fun- cinemas" in a way which i am sure must have been more fun than what we did. ;-) well we didn't miss anything and i am sure you didn't too... but i hope you have made some progress for all the reasons you gave...
and then the damned TT and its driver. He "supposedly" died in a road accident just on the afternoon of the day in which we were supposed to leave, I don't know whether i should thank "GOD" for taking his life when we were not there with him or whether to feel sorry for ourselves at being made fools by such a stupid lie. I guess we will never know the truth. one sec.. i just did a search, and it does look like we were made fools.. damn that TT and of course streeeeeeee.
anyway after a lot of frantic bike riding and making telephone calls, a tempo traveller(TT) was arranged and by the time these guys started i was already back at home, trying to get some sleep.
After a long long talk with my sister and an even longer wait, i finally got suttu's call and i left home to join the already-drunk and drowsy guys in the TT without a CD-player. It doesn't seem much, i mean not having a CD player, but it was damn irritating after all the discussions that we had about push-back seats, TV, DVD player etc...
it was around 2 AM when we started and when we finally reached shimoga it was around 6 or 7 AM i think. On the way i did show off my DC skills.....
we reached gokarna at around 10 AM. The city has 2 main roads and both were being paved. After taking the wrong road and asking around a bit, we reached the hotel, checked in, had breakfast, met our other member of the party from mangalore.
Next we went to the nearest beach, did all the usual stuff of taking photos and playing in the water and similar crappy things.
Finally having got bored of playing in the beach-without-babes and waves, it was decided to cross a hill and go to another beach-with-babes.
on top of the hill was a "Hill-top restaurant". All we did was drink and eat and drink more, and take more photos... and by the time we were done with all the horsing around and started toward the beach-with-babes, it was already late and babes were out of the beach. As always bhatta with his fucking heavy body and weak legs did some stunt and sprained his knee. More photos. then carrying bhatta up the hill-put him in auto - sent him to hospital - and the others started what they are best at.....
next day was the day to visit the "OM" beach. which we did and guess what i met some bongs playing football in the beach. These things always seem to happen. I meet someone i know from my college no matter where i go.. this time i met people whom i knew at two totally unexpected places and one expected place.
we played inside the upper curve of "OM" and then one guy came along and told us he would take us to another super beach... and it was a super beach, it was secluded and was full of babes.... well i did feel a little awkward, but then again there was one other friend who "finally-had-come-home" here. more drinking and little eating.
I became the photographer here and took some really nice pics of the sunset.
I always did imaging a sunset at a beach and it was not like i thought it would be. I had thought i would be able to see the sun go down into the water and all that, but what i actually saw was the sun disappearing some 5 cms above the water surface. But i saw a real sunset 2 days later while coming back to Bangalore, it was nice.
The boat guy came, took us back to civilization, and we came back to some hotel with a chinki-waiter who said too many sorry's but did little to get us what we ordered.
Next day we decided to get out of gokarna and to visit Yana, ya she stays nearby.
after bhatta's knee massage we started off at 11 with a fire spitting TT.
At around 2 we reached Yana, its a bore. it really was. No excitement.
Reach highway after a bone-crunching ride and then the damn TT breaks down.
The driver decides he should get a tow truck and escapes... 11 innocent guys left alone in the middle of nowhere... and guess what they do, they light up the road. It was fun.
Finally reached sisri, from which we got a bus to bangalore, last seats, jumping-jumping ride back to bangalore. I wake up near checkpost some 5 kms out of tumkur, ask the driver to stop the bus. Walk back 2 kms, get an auto and reached home at around 6:30.
it was a good trip better than the Goa trip.

What i hate

Probably of all things that i hate most is seeing people use "da" instead of "the".
It just drives me crazy... what the fuck is that? i mean how much more trouble does it take to type th instead of D. i hate it when people send messages with da.
i don't know whether it really helps people when they are messaging a lot, i did it(messaging) for a brief part of my life and i didn't really find any big difference. Maybe it is because most of the people use nokia phones, which add a word like b4 and da into the dictionary when u use it a few times.
maybe the reason i hate to see these words in a message is because i didn't have a nokia phone and my mobile refused to remember words which were explicitly added into the dictionary beyond one reboot... and maybe i was pissed subconsciously because of the lost opportunity to decrease the time required to type the word by 0.5 seconds.
Another thing i totally hate is those fake testimonials on orkut. i mean how can any sensible person accept something which expands friends into something stupid. Here is a testimonial...
Ur sooo sweet to be forgottan..(yes) with a whole load of bunnies made up of [*'() and an o] saying one minute, one year etcetera... no matter how long, I'll treasure the times we became friends...
i mean what the fuck does this tell someone who reads the testimonial about the person who received it.....
then again maybe the person accepted it because they didn't want to offend the other person who sent it... but still come on..
another thing i hate is emails which say since u have opened it you have to read it all and then forward it to 10 other jerks like yourself or else the most horrible things imaginable will happen, the horrible things ranging from you losing you job to one of your body parts. and there is another subtler version of these email which say some dying kid somewhere in some corner of the world will get 1 paise if 10 people read some bull shit story. I really don't give a damn about people here, why the hell should anyone care about some unknown child in some unknown city dying of some horrible disease?
I hate to hear people talk in slang Hindi.... maybe it is because i am not used to it. Maybe they also feel exactly the same way i do when they hear someone talking in slang in a language they know but don't really use often(or maybe something used in movies they see), but still i hate it when i see(overhear) girls speaking this way... it irritates me very much. i know i cannot have the whole world my way.. but this is one thing which i would definitely re-write if ever given a chance to recreate this world.
and i hate people who use words like hypocrite and cynic. who am i?

the "C" factor

I don't know whether this is just to make everyone know how twisted my mind is or just to show off, inference is your job.
I have a lot of Chool.
chool[ch-ool] noun
1) the characteristic of a person to think about something esp. humans in vivid imaginative ways which cannot be expressed in words very easily..
not bad?
I don't know why, but it has been like this ever since i can remember. maybe it was "James Hadley Chase's" book's covers which started it or maybe it was just inherent to me with my twisted little mind.
The first thing i do when i see a female is hit on her... i don't actually do anything stupid, like start talking stupid things or cracking jokes or complimenting or anything(Do these qualify as hitting on a girl?), i just kind of get these funny ideas.
I really believe its not bad at all and that it is common, i have talked about this only to a few people i am usually with when i get these ideas and they completely agree with me. Its not insane.
My indiranagar friends...
well most of them are my type.. i guess all are. some admit and some don't.
one guy makes it a point that everybody in ashrama knows about whoever new comes to his company/team. But everybody is the same, in one way or another. It just boils down to adrenaline i guess.
So what do i actually think about when i see someone is something which i can not write but it is not something unspeakable.. it is just plain fantasy. i love it.
But this doesn't keep happening over and over again, when i meet the same person again and again, or when i do understand that person more, it just stops. "That" part of my mind gets bored i guess. But it is fun while it lasts and since there are so many people around its not very boring.

You DON'T have a future.

Hi-ya!
"To my brother, Budd.
The only man I ever loved. Bill."
What's that?
Budd's Hanzo sword.
He said he pawned it.
Guess that makes him
a liar now, don't it?
- Elle?
- Bea.
Somethin' I've always
been curious about.
Just between us girls...
...what did you say to Pai Mei
to make him snatch out your eye?
(screams) Ow!
I called him a miserable old fool.
Ooh. Bad idea.
Know what I did?
I killed that miserable old fool.
(EIle) How do you like the fish head,
you miserable old fool?
I poisoned his fish heads.
Elle, you treacherous dog.
(EIle laughs)
I - give - you - my - word...
(EIle) And I told him,
"To me, the word
of an old fool like you
is worth less than nothing."
(laughs)
That's right.
I killed your master.
And now I'm gonna kill you, too.
With your own sword, no less.
Which, in the very immediate future,
will become my sword.
Bitch...
...you don't have a future.

and after all this comes the best scene of all the movies ever made...
she squishes the eye... man does it make u feel good.. hehehe

Pertaining to current matters

I am beginning this the third time..

I don't really know what to say.... even though there is a lot to say.

Life has become more pleasant in one way now. I have recovered from many accidents... The marks will never go though. But i don't really care.

People who have not read the book " To kill a mockingbird" i think you guys should go ahead and read it.. if u don't have it, let me know i will gladly lend u my book.

This is a haphazard post... more disorderly than the other ones.. but who cares

This week started off with a brilliant mail that i got... it was a nice one.. and even though it made me feel really cold for sometime, it was a nice feeling.. have u ever felt that? when u read something which u know is coming and which u don't want to. But once it comes u don't feel as much as u thought u would feel? Its damn cold though. For sometime. I was sitting, listening to some ppt, i check my mail and there it is.. i read it twice... i was so excited and "COLD" that i couldn't refrain from sending out messages to find out more details... but i think if u expect something to happen and if u wait for it to happen a long long time, when that thing really happens, you never feel what u though you would feel. Its nothingness.

Has your heart ever started beating fast just by the sight or even the thought of something? have u ever felt scared about something which u wait for ever to happen?? i read somewhere that you don't fear something when it really happens but it is the wait for that thing to happen which is fearful. Sometimes this is true.

I sit in my cube running scripts all day long and when i go back to my room i never wonder why i am wasting my time like this. i know this is no means to any end. This sucks. I lack the drive to change things.. wtf?!

The easiest way to happiness is to quit complaining?!

F*** you HSBC

You people are mother fuckers. God damn you people.
I used to feel sorry for the guys who stand outside my company and beg every damn guy who comes out of the gate to apply for a credit card. Now i know why the fuck the bank sends so many ppl. These assholes don't explain us the rules and assholes like me fall for it.
I realised today that why the fuck i have read so many times in so many places that credit cards are a big business for the banks.Every damn thing is fine print... you only realise the truth when u have been stabbed.. no more like gang raped. Fucking banks.
For those ppl who don't know the exact thing here it is...
No one does anything if ur card is stolen... the bank will be in fact happy if some motherfucker goes on a spending spree with ur lost card. And then u go try and give a complaint to the fucking police who don't give a damn, why should they, as if they don't have enough problems to handle already.
Once u have been fucked u will keep getting fucked until say "see you asshole!" for ever.
You are told when u take the card that u will have some 52 days to pay up.. but surprise surprise.. even if u pay up almost the whole amount withing twenty days u will have to pay the interest on the whole, including the amount that you have paid back. Paying interest on my own money to someone else.... fuck this.
I hope the damn bank rots in hell.

Ps: I have cooled down now.

Credit card

I am one unhappy person...
This year has been very bad for me and it is getting worse month by month!
After two successive accidents, just as i was recovering from all the pain, i land up in this credit card problem.
I ask myself, now thinking back on the previous Saturday? how can i be such a fool, so careless. After all the things that i tell my room-mate about how careless he is. shit man. i am in deep shit now.
Some smart ass, i don't know whether he has prior experience in the art of using someone Else's credit card or not, but he will surely get away this time. i really don't know what to do.
I have told myself to keep a pen at hand a thousand times and even as i am writing this i still don't have a pen. It was all because i didn't have a stupid 10rs pen. Now i end up paying 36k to the damn bank who practically don't care who uses the card, all they want is the card to be swiped at as many places as possible, the more the merrier..
If only i had a pen that day i needn't have borrowed one from some unknown guy and then i remembered to return the pen, but forgot to get my card..
here is the story.
I get a few thousand rs for doing crappy work and then i decide to celebrate by b'day by giving a small treat to my room-mates. we go out have a good time and next morning i get up and get this brilliant idea of paying my outstanding credit card bills. I go to the bank, without a pen!, and there i do the borrowing, copying card number onto deposit slip, depositing money and all, but in the end i forget to take my card with me. Some guy, I'm sure he is a customer of the bank where i went flicks the card and has a nice time shopping in all the places he can imagine(its a he, I'm sure of that also) buying all the stuff he wants. I realise this when someone from customer care calls up and asks me "Dude u are spending a lot today! whats up?!", I'm like "WTF!!!" and then "oh!! shit!", god save me.
I really don't' know what to do now and the police are not really helpful, i mean what can they do when the bank is saying they'll let me know when i should pay the money soon. :-(
this month has had a fucked up beginning and i have a notion that it will end that way.
.i.. to the guy who had my card. i know he doesn't care, or wouldn't mind.

Books worth reading

I like reading and i read a considerable number of books.
My favourite books are

The fountainhead
This was the first book that i read written by Ayn Rand and i still consider it to be one of the best books that i have read till now. I know many people have read this book and i still haven't found someone who has told me that this book is worthless. Atlas shrugged is also a good book but once you've read a book by her all the other works seem somewhat the same, nevertheless it is a good book.

The Brother's Karamazov.
The reason i bought this book was because i was fascinated by the author's name. The book is about a guy and his three sons. People say that Dostoevsky is one of the authors who began to write about human psychology. Crime and Punishment is also a very good book. I don't know what to write about these books, i believe these books could be read and enjoyed by anyone.

The adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
These two books by Mark Twain are really good. The adventures of Huck, i think is more funnier than the first part. Jim's rescue was planned and executed with super awesome style....

some other classics
Jane Austin's books are all alike but are fun to read. i don't know whether they are books meant to be read by women more than men, but i have read a few books and i have not got bored with them
Wuthering heights is good,Uncle tom's cabin made me cry!
Oliver twist and great expectations are also good. i had seen the movie of the former when i was in school, but i couldn't remember the story when i started reading the book, and the latter book was pretty ordinary till the last 50 pages or so, i felt like kicking Betty and Joe when pip returned back home... but that was the best part of the whole book.

The godfather and others by Puzo i think most of the people would have read and enjoyed, and i don't know why people consider Hemingway as a great writer. There is certainly i seem to miss whenever I've read his books.. i first started with his short stories, short stories had never interested me, but i didn't really think his short stories were great. if all short stories are like the ones he wrote i am never going to bother reading these stories.... and what was "a farewell to arms" all about? i still don't understand what is implied by the book's name, the ending was certainly touching and all.. but it took a lot of patience to reach the ending.. his writing is so damn irritating, why should those two keep repeating what the other says??? anyone who reads this and has read that please email me. I want to know what the book is all about!

and finally i wanted to mention about the book that i read in college.. its called "area 7" it is a masterpiece of pure action. and Shantaram wasn't really as great as VC told me it was.

i could have written separately about each book but i am not good enough for that yet, I'll try next time..

Life

I had saved a half written article.. but i don't know what happened to it, i can't find it.
Something has to be written about my life, not only because nothing much is happening in my life but it has started to suck a lot.
I am bored. There is nothing exciting happening. I guess most of the people have a pretty boring life. I want to do somethings which will make my life a little bit more exciting and i will start soon. I don't think people would like to read much about this, so i will not discuss this.
but here are two lines about me right now.....
My back is broken.I have a job which has become very routine.
I didn't sign up for this.

Right now i know where i stand, i am not uncommon.
