Just some Silly questions.. ;-)

I was checking out my facebook when I happeneded to remember this hot friend of mine. I saw one of her post and so thought about checking her pics. As I was checking her pics I got a peculiar doubt. Then one question leading to another I was soon filled with so many unanswered question. So I am thinking about putting these questions here and see if someone is able to answer these. Before I start with the questions let me give you the description of the girl so that it helps you understand my dilemma better.
Ok.. She has to be a hot girl and that was why I had been checking her pics out since the last 20 mins. Just picture the hottest girl that you have ever seen in your life till now and assume this to be her. Her dressing sense is truly impeccable. Anyone will be spellbound on looking at her if she decides it to be that way. She has a perfectly lithe figure of a model and has the height necessary too. So the one word that describes it all will be "PERFECTION".
Now the question that follow are:

1) What will be his boyfriend like? Will he be a dude or will he be an average looking?

2) What does a girl like that look for? Smartness or only looks?

3) I guess she mostly will be the one in control of the relation that she will be in. If that is the case does the guy have to compromise much?

4) Doesn't it make the guy feel insecure when so many other guys are trying to hit on her as well?

5) What will be in the future for such a girl? How much is her life different from a normal looking girl?

6) Last but not the least whom is she going to get married to and how will he be?

It has been a long time again since I blogged last. I have been inconsistent again so I thought this must be a good topic to start again ;)

Bharti Airtel is a Fradulent

There are several ways in which a person can get looted. It is not only the thieves who loot at the gun point but there are others too. Today I feel so cheated. I know I am not the only one. There are so many more who have faced a similar thing but have just turned a blind eye to it. I am angry now but I know I will have to finally succumb.
My mobile network carrier Bharti Airtel is a fraud company. I get a message yesterday saying some service has been activated without my notice and I was charged Rs. 5 for it. That was how its deceit started. This is not the first time that this darn company stole like this. I let it go then thinking it is only a day's issue and I won't be charged any further. I was wrong. I get another message today morning saying that the crap service has been renewed and I have been charged another Rs. 3! WTF!!! I could still keep my calm and I thought that I will discontinue the service once I go back home. They had already screwed my balance by then I couldn't have called even though I wished to. Then the real tipping moment came when I recharged my cell to call up the customer care. I call up the customer care which is not an easy thing to do in Airtel. The IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is another piece of trickery. One has to be a Sherlock Holmes to reach the customer care. After all this hassle when I somehow speak to the customer care he puts me on hold and then disconnects my call. This has tipped me off.
The whole thing provokes me more because I am on roaming and I get charged even to call up the customer care. Now I am in a fix. I am not able to stop the service so they will charge me again tomorrow and trying another call may be foolish. I might be charged more than what I might be charged otherwise with the service active. I still have 4 days to end my roaming. I think I will have to let them steal more money from me. The part which makes me more pathetic now is that I don't know whom to complain to. I want somebody who can make a difference. Someone who can make Airtel cry plead mercy to me.
Bloody Airtel is such a cheat. I am fuming currently. I want to kill the Airtel people if I could. That would satisfy my anger. I feel like taking the head employee of Airtel, the one in charge of billing and torture him to death. I would love to cut his body parts one by one before I kill him. I don't know how to vent my anger. I hope enough people read this blog and stop using Airtel. I wish the fraud company gets doomed. I am sure I am not the only one who is tormented by this company. This has grown to be the India's number 1 telecom company they say. Number one My Ass!!! This company has no concerns for the quality of the service that they provide. They are the number 1 loots that I have ever seen. This anger is not the result of just one event. There are several other instances where I have faced such thing. I am sure thousand others will vow for me. I normally don't use such profane language but I don't mind using this time.

One Insane Moment

Nooo....!!! I should not have done it. It was just one insane moment. I deleted all my contacts in the mobile and I don't even have a backup. Now I have some serious entertainment in my hand. This is going to keep me occupied for some months now. I am not even sure if I am going to get all the contacts back. This was the result of boredom. I was sitting in the bus for one long hour with Mr.Shreekant our escort from DIAT Pune. He was so boring that to distract myself I started fooling around with my cell. I wanted to make some space as I was running low in memory when I accidentally deleted all my contacts. At that second it felt as if my whole world was falling apart. I wanted to yell but I couldn't. I composed myself and reflected back at the loss.
Some of the contacts in it were hard earned. Some were the contacts of the college professors which at first sight seem to be an easy task but I guarantee it was not as mundane a task as it appears. Some of the professors were so unworthy and I had to let go my ego to make them feel important before I could get the numbers. I don't think I can ever achieve that herculean feat again in my life. Another difficult set of contacts that I hope every guy would agree with me is the contact number of the beautiful girl sitting next to you in a journey. It is a real challenge to get their numbers in the short time that you spend with them. It is an altogether different issue whether or not you contact them again ever in your life. There were some trophies of similar achievements in the contact list ;) I have lost those for ever now.
But now after one day I have come to see the positive side of it too. I realize that there is no need to cramp the memory unnecessarily. Now I can be more organized and I will keep only the numbers that I really need. I will now know how many contacts I remember to get the number back. May be finally All is for Well.

Complete Body Overhaul Needed

I want to brood over my body pain and I know no one will be interested to listen to me so I am going to write it down. Those who are reading this have full right to skip this blog without scorning me. I am doing what I want to do. Rest is up to the readers.
I am having a terrible body pain and this all started after my last blog. I had been for shopping and it has made me sick. Well even on the morning of that day I was not feeling all that great but I had decided not to fidget about it. But now the time has come when I need to sulk to feel better. I promise to keep this short.
I have pain in my head. I can feel water in my head when I turn my head. My body also aches terribly. Every morning when I get up I have pain in my throat. My left ear has been paining since last few days and it has increased since the Lonavala trip. I developed pain in my knee in Lonavala too. I slipped several times there. May be one of those times I hurt my knee badly. The pain had subsided last week but Saturday's walk has aggravated it again. Saturday we started walking around 12 pm and kept walking till 9 pm. I wish I had the option of abandoning my body and getting a new one. On top of all this it has been raining continuously since yesterday. This weather is making me more sick. I hope it stops raining for gods sake!!!

Weekend Again!

Ewww... It is eerie. Last few weekends have started giving me a scare. I spend a forturne every weekend and this weekend is going to be no different. I am planning on blowing up some more today. Waiting for my mates. Mathew has already arrived. I hope I have enough time to finish this blog. Still two more to come. Lets continue now.
So where was I.. Yeah, the thing about blowing cash. I am planning to buy some unbranded clothes today. I have deided not to be a sucker for brand. This transformation has happened after last weeks fiasco. I had soaked some clothes to wash along with my new branded jeans.. That blasted jeans painted 3 of my white colored shirts to become its siblings. Now the shirts look like jeans' half brothers. Half white half blue. Since that day I have decided; screw the brands!!
Other than clothes I have to buy some novels to kill time here and I also need a nice hair cut. Hair cut reminds me of Habibs. Last time I had a cut from there.
I will complete that part of the story later. Got to go now. Friends hav already arrived.

Pune at its best...

Let me describe the ambience here in DIAT. It is around quarter past five. I am sitting in my balcony. I have my legs crossed with my one leg on the metal parapet with my back resting comfortably in the chair.
There is mild breeze blowing. It is getting little cold. I sometimes hear the rustling of leaves. There isn't absolutely any noise around. I can hear the tweeting of the birds. There are atleast 5 different varities of birds which I can hear. I hear a dog bark somewhere far away. Some music is playing in somebody's room . It is too soft to understand what is being played. Now and then I can hear a group of people talking. Their voices slowly fade as they walk away from our hostel to probably gole market. Intermittently I also hear a vehicle pass by.
I can see some dark clouds in the sky. There is greenery all around. I can see some trees with dry leaves. There are others with flowers of varying shades of yellow. On the far side behind the trees there is continuous chain of hills.
In totality this place is an absolute treat to the mind. I am loving this place :-)

News paper Trouble...

I am grown up and I still do not read newspapers. I have tried several times to read news papers and be up to date. It simply turned out to be a futile effort. I have realized that these attempts start every time I reach a new place or city. I got the craze of reading news once when I was in IDEA. I read and listened to news for few days but I could not carry on. 2 months back I had given it another try. I bought news papers for a month but I could make myself read only 3 of the 30 subscriptions. That is a really bad ratio.
I have been trying to ponder upon why I am unable to read news papers when I can read novels. Let me list down 5 reasons why:

1) There is too much happening around in this world and it gets very confusing as to where to start from.

2) I am always amazed by the people in India who manage to keep track of the news. There are too many ministers and too many scams. Every time I start reading news papers I get baffled. The minister who supposedly resigned a few days back will still be in the news only that this time he will be holding a different post. When a minister says he is resigning he means only his post. He will soon be taking over another post.

3) The terrorist who is already been given death sentence will again be given death sentence the next time you read news paper. Sometimes I even wonder if they print the same news paper I read 3 months back again!

4) Business section: Oh gosh!!! There is no way anyone can make me read that. There are so many numbers and it makes me go bonkers. I don't mind data ever as god has given me only a small brain. I can't afford to waste my precious memory trying to remember which company has got how much turn out this year.

5) Finally to the sports section. That seems pretty interesting and probably the only section that I can read sometimes. Here again I try not to remember facts and so this information is something that I can't make use of.

I have finally come to peace with the fact that reading news papers is not my cup of tea. I am composed with the ignorance.

The Ten Digit Attachment

I was having a normal day. I was reading my novel lying in the bed when my mobile rang. It was a message. It was from a new number. I read the message and I got a chill.
The message from the new number said it was my dad. This was not the reason for the chill that I felt. The real reason being it read that this is the dad's new number!!! I initially forced myself to believe that it must be a prank. Not that he plays pranks with me but I was still hoping it to be. How can he change our 8 year old mobile number without giving much thought to it and that too for only the thrill of it. I have this mobile number deeply etched in my memory and it will always live with me. The new number does not feel welcomed. There is no symmetry in the new number and there is an added burden of remembering a new number.
This was the first time ever that my dad did anything without telling me before. Now as I am writing this blog I am getting a new feeling. May be I am not as attached to my parents as I was before. They needed me for making every small decision. If only my dad had spoken to me about this I would have talked him out of this idea. How I wish he had kept his old number. I am surprised how even a mobile number is capable of getting attached with my life. May be this is the last time I am quoting my old mobile number. Dedicated to 9890707633.

Down the line...

I always wondered how will I be some 20 years down the line. Yesterday was the alumni meet and I took this opportunity to observe. There are some interesting points that I noted.

• Males shed their hair: Guys who believe in bird watching should soon watch and catch a bird. Only a blessed few have proper hair till after late 30's. Most start showing baldness patterns. So hurry up.
• Diabetes is a common disease:- If you like sweets then you should have as many as possible now. They were discussing proudly about their blood sugar level with their sidekicks. Eating a Rosogolla while having a high sugar level becomes a stunt which they where enjoying.
• Guys never stop commenting: Two men in their 40s were discussing something very serious. One softly said to other pointing towards a good looking lady " उस टाइम की maal थी!!!" This also suggests that there are chances that a good looking girl now will be a good looking girl woman.
  
• Flirting is in the blood: Boys will always be Boys... They can never change. This fact was confirmed when I was pushed to the last in the line during the tea break while two of my classmates, girls, were pushed from last to first!
• People Grow Up: Lastly I saw a woman fighting at the registration counter. Our GS was apologizing to her but it took him a long time to pacify her. She finished the fight with a taunt. I dug in to find the reason for her disappointment. She was asked for the food coupon at the buffet and was denied food without the coupon. Her ego was hurt!!! This meant she had "GROWN UP". Grown ups get hurt easily and they forget the magic mantra of Ignore kar.
  

1024 to 512

About a month back I had a deal with Abhishek. Pankaj had bought a 512 MB RAM for his computer a year back. But luckily for us the RAM was incompatible with his computer. Sorry for being so mean :Pankaj!!! Pankaj benevolently offered us to use the RAM. We two lazy bums, me being more lazy than Abhishek did not get the RAM for many days from him. We found it too difficult to walk to his room and get the RAM.
Finally Abhishek fetched it from his room. I think this was before the last exam of the semester in the month of November. He tried it in his computer. His computer is one antique piece. That computer only functions when the CPU is kept flat on the table. This is not the only problem with the computer. There are more like if the motherboard is ever touched then it starts complaining by making weird sounds. The CPU then refuses to boot. The whole thing looks as if the computer is cursing Abhishek. This makes Abhishek a little worried and angry. He then starts working on the CPU as if trying to pacify his girl friend. Poor Abhishek I pity him!!! lolz... Today he had another problem with his SMPS also. The only good thing about his computer is that he has got 1GB ram which is 512MB more than mine which he keeps bragging about to me. Abhishek if you are reading this then take my advice and sell your computer. You may even give me your RAM :)
So much for now about his computer let me carry on with the deal. It did not initially work with his computer but after several tries his computer accepted the extra memory. I later tried in mine and it worked. Abhishek being such a nice friend of mine allowed me to keep the RAM. He had an agreement that I will be allowed to keep it till the time I get a job.
My computer turned from a Maruthi 800 into a Ferrari with that RAM. It became super fast. It booted up in seconds. I could use themes for my operating system. I no longer had to use the windows classic theme. I know it is embarrassing to use that one. DC became fun too.
Today I had to give the 512 MB RAM back to him. I am experiencing time dilation. It feels like ages before the computer boots up. I am back to my windows classic look :( I miss the 512MB. This blog is dedicated to that 512MB which stayed with me for a month. I miss you...

Kayaking

Internet is a really interesting thing. It can lead you to anywhere! I was reading through the news paper in the morning when I read about a mishap.It happened to some picnickers who had overloaded a boat. This is always a common practice in the cars or scooters of India but people take it too far when they try doing it in a boat too. A boat capable of carrying 19 capsized while carrying 27 people in it!!! I started of with a search for whirlpool which was the cause of the accident and ended up searching videos for kayaking.
Kayaking must really be serene experience. It must be so calming to kayak in a river or sea on a Sunday afternoon alongside with a friend. Away from all worries and seeing the sun set in the sea must be the most peaceful thing I can imagine. I would like to have that experience at least once in my lifetime. Right now I am watching videos on youtube of expertvillage. Though watching these tutorials is far from doing the real thing I am still enjoying and having the thrills as I imagine myself doing it.
I wish someday soon I would be blogging about my Kayaking experience too. For now let me continue with my tutorials....

Cold and Hair

I did not understand the gravity of the relation between Cold and Hair till I depilated my head. This is in the middle of the winter that I decided to go bald. Not for any religious reasons but only for the sake of pure 100% fun and experimentation. It was always my fantasy to do it which I could not do earlier partly because of lack of proper time and partly because of lack of audacity to change my looks.For those of you who want to know how it feels like to be bald in the winter read on...
God has given hair so as to protect excessive heat and cold. If you cut it in the winter and expect it to be comfortable then you are probably a moron. It feels very^10 cold. For sometime it might also feel like the barber has installed a mini Hitachi Ac for just Rs. 15 over the head but later it becomes acclimated. All that acclimatisation will turn out to be useless at night though. Exactly speaking the cold that the head feels without the hair is like the cold that most people feel in the nose on a cold day riding on a bike very fast.
Luckily the intelligent biped have invented the warm woolen cap (Topa in hindi) which becomes indispensable. This acts both as a protection against cold and also helps to conceal the stupidity after the realization of idiocy of cutting the hair.
The B-side of short hair is that going out is excessively quick with no need to worry about the hair. It also feels good to rub hand over the head. The velvet feel is truly awesome. Any boring day can be converted to an interesting one by taking a walk outside without the cap. Somebody is sure to comment and then u can strike a long conversation with the person ;). And lastly but most importantly what can be more engaging than seeing the pattern in which one is loosing hair.

Intuitions of a **Wise man** :P

1. I have searched for words, I have searched for quotes... But I still don't know how to tell you what you know I want to tell you...

A breif recap 2

Let me put in some of the less important things that happened to me last year in this... These are the less boring parts unlike the prior post (missing in this blog!!!).
I think the journey back to the college which was related in the last post needs expansion. It was one of a kind journey that I ever had. Firstly I had to reach college as our placement season was starting and one of the core companies for electronics (Tejas) was supposed to come soon. So I could not afford bunking it. Me and another friend of mine who was supposed to go to Patna had reservations in the same train. We reached the railway station and saw that the train is delayed by 6 hours due to landslide. This was just the beginning of the fun. We took the 1 hr journey back home again. I got a gut feeling that the train is going to get canceled and it did get canceled. I was happy that I will be going to stay at home for another week but then was feeling restless within as I wanted to attend the interview.My friend had no hurry so he booked the next week train.
The next day was just as exciting. I got up and then told parents that I will take unreserved trains and somehow make it to the college. My dad offered his company. I did not want him to come as the journey would be difficult. I went to check the trains at my friends place and when I came back a surprise awaited me. My dad came up with the idea of sending me by flight till Mumbai. Everybody at home was very much excited as no one had flown before. I booked a ticket to Calcutta from Mumbai by train.
I went to the airport first time in my life and then I was a little nervous.The air hostess were good. Specially the Kingfisher ones :) I was traveling in Indigo. They had the worst of the air hostess or may be "The grass on the other side of the fence is always greener". I got into the plane after an hour of wait in the airport. The flight took off. There was initial acceleration which was fun. It was pulling me back to my seat and in some time we where above the clouds. Even the rain bearing clouds look white from top and the sun shines like summer above the clouds.
I reached Mumbai in less than an hour. I then went to the railway station. I had to wait there for 10 hours till the next day morning 6. I went for a movie and when I came back at 12 I discovered that the train in which I was supposed to travel also got canceled. This was the ultimate test of my patience. I luckily got reservation in another train which started at 4 in d evening. This meant 10 hours of more waiting.
In the morning I decided to take a walk around the place. I made friends with a travel agent who was a divorcee and had been treated in the mental asylum for 3 years. After an hour chat with him I walked till the Gateway of India. I also saw the Nariman Point and Trident hotel which gained popularity after the terrorist attack.
Then I finally made it to my college with a travel time of 52 hrs which otherwise would take 38-40 hrs only to discover that the company that I came running all the way is not coming!!!
Among the other things that happened last year was: a spoilt mp4 player (july) , 9 pointer, Drdo interview whose results are still awaited, a job in Idea cellular and lastly I shaved my head (all of that in Dec)
