jaan-e-mann...

went for this last evening..(actually supposed to go during diwali time..but somehow never made it..hehe..)..so yesterday..major diwali hangover..almost no classes..dead bored in the evening..hence the movie thing..just for a lark..shavii was supposed to come with me but that got scrapped in the last min (her loss as it turns out now..n boy was she madd last night..oopsie..hehe..)..so pataod shanu bhaiya finally (even tho he was partial to "don"..which id already promised id go with mads n the gang for the treat thing..actually well even i had certan misgivings at first abt this..but as it turned out..)..hehe..anyway it actually turned out to be good..one salman movie i didnt balk or gag at..interestingly made..its obvious that the director went nutts in the first half..hehe..refreshingly n surprisingly not a total lift from some hollywood flick (tho there is a total carbon copy of this one scene from "win a date with tad hamilton"..the six smiles thing..but since most of the population has no idea about the original anyway so guess not many caught on..hehe..)..total time-pass fun movie..second half had the predictable tears n stuff..but then thats indispensible..all in all..wacky crazy but at least not a total waste of time like "kank"..hehe..n thankfully..no srk or big b around.. :D

in other news..classes getting cancelled right, left n centre..hehe..which is gr88 of course..even today had just one class so far..with the prospect that the two left might get either cancelled or at least shortened to a considerable degree..hehe..n with tomorrow as a holiday again..yieeee!!!!!!..hehe..thinking of going for "don"..gotta take some advantage outta the hols right..if not, then sunday is always there..hehe..anyway..outta here now..planning on squeezing in a movie before heading out for the next class..

until then..

unimaginably bored.........

5.30 pm....
extremely bored..mostly coz m supposed to be going out at 6.30..and its just 5.30..which means i have an hour to kill and nothing in particular to kill it with..this must be what is termed as the "diwali slump"..hostels almost empty..n the mess has quit making anything remotely festive to hold me here..city-food beckons n here i come....................

9.00 pm....
still have the slight aftertaste of being bored..hehe..back from my expedition for the quest for good food..now armed with noodles, manchurian, tarts n rum balls..soft drinks as well..(oh yes of course we got it all packed..dont wanna miss the fireworks "show" in the univ now do we..hehe..actually..more like dont wanna get caught in the crossfire..)..well the room is all cleaned..with lil diyas outside the door for fancy stuff..(should see shikhas deco..wow!!)..no candles or diyas in the balcony this time tho :( ..for one, the chiks would have to be removed (no biggie that..)..but more importantly..the family of pigeons currently hanging up "home sweet home" posters in my balcony would rather not be migrated..hehe..

feeling extremely sleepy tho..stayin up 24 boring hours sucks..hehe..maybe il chuck the fireworks n just sleep it through..as it is, not missing much..as is evident from the view from my very convenient balcony..guess will continue when m up next..hehe..

n boy is it annoying to write fifty million zillion gazillion "thnx..wishing u a very happy diwali as well" scraps to what seems like every person on planet earth..with maybe a few martians n krptonians thrown in for good measure!!!!!!

4.40 am....
up again n one rum ball later..still bored..watching "the punisher"..regular pow-wow bang-bang vigilante style action flick..had a kgp dream again..weird how places seem to blend together somehow..school n univ mix-up..hehe..but quite fun..saw shasthri trying to teach physics in school!!!!!!!!!!..n get ragged mercilessly..n him replying with his regualar siddhu-type dialogues..hehe..peppered with a liberal dosage of "calm down shasthri".. :D ..total laugh riot that guy..in the middle of it however jain sir materialised n wanted the class back..n also that other woman who taught us physics in Xth..n for some time before him in XIth..forgot her name..anyway so these three start arguing as to who is better qualified to take the class!!!!!..nothing could be funnier..hehe..pity dont remember the result tho..

anyway..back to the movie for me..lets see if sunday is any better.. :)

dandiya nite!!

the grand finale..a fitting culmination to the cultural week..creations '06..a brilliant week of fun n games..hehe..hats off to the scc!!..n whoever came up with the whole theme idea..pure genius!!..the mess was like entertainment central every night..all those events..singing..dancing..mad-adz..the awwwwsumm mimicry..pola n arnav rocked!!!..truly..n with me having fam law moot the next day..n that too with arnav only as opposing counsel!!..thank god i didnt laugh outright at monos "ok pliz"..hehe..but seriously..guess even zafeer wasnt as funny as those two (n he is funny believe me..a total cartoon..dunno why he didnt go with his trademark shasthri gig tho..)..they brought the house down..really they did..the whole univ was in uproar!!..unbelievable..

anyway..so dandiya nite..held in the mess this time..n surprisingly on a friday..n even more surprisingly..free!!..hehe..guess not many were all that interested tho..n after being up fr 24 hrs making a damn memo, neither was i..as in..who would wanna spend hours getting ready..that too in ethnic!!..n dancing when i was already tired enough to drop dead??..no waaayyy..in fact..till about 8.30 last nite..i was totally sure i wouldnt be going..even mads, ghosty n all were not too keen on it..but then wham bam!!..dunno what hit everyone..n amazingly suddenly i found that i was in fact going!!..really this was the most impromptu party iv ever gone to..the mad rush to get ready!!..n god! the pain of accessorizing!!!!..hehe..n then again half the population doesnt know how to wear a sari..not to forget our dear darling ananya whos affair with the mirror will go down in history most likely..hehe..was nothing short of a miracle that we even reached the mess by 10.00..hehe..but not late tho..not by a loooong shot..the "show" went on till 1.00 am!!..we toh were back by midnight..by which time i really was almost dead..n damned inconvenient dancing in the sari..actually dancing western in the sari..n with a digicam hanging from the wrist no less!! :D ..speaking of cams..yesterday was like a photoshoot out there..god knows how many pics i took..mostly posed..n sum candid shots..it was like click-click-click snap-snap-snap..anyway managed to have loads of fun..n a lott of dancing..hehe..soooo..dandiya was great..tho we didnt really end up dancing much dandiya..managing those dandiya sticks on top of everything else..n protecting fingers from getting amputated as well..hehe..no mean feat..

so well..i had this ridiculous urge to get sloshed last nite..(guess what..turns out deeksha did get totally hammered..hehe)..but i like the good lil girl i am settled for rum balls instead..my current fetish it seems..cant seem to get enough of 'em..taaassttyyyy..well getting late..thinking of catching a movie before "embracing the blessed oblivion of dreamland"..

hokay then!!..tada.. :P

zsa zsa zsu...

zsa zsa zsu..aka that special something that gives you butterflies in the stomach..its supposed to be associated with guys..hot guys actually..as in when u see this really smouldering guy walk by..n u like step on the brakes..inadvertantly causing a multiple car crash..n u still got eyes only for that smoking hot guy??..hehe..but woah woah..why write about that since it wouldnt apply to me anyway..havnt even seen even a remotely hot guy outside of movies or tv..let alone while driving..n since the only place i have driven in is kgp..which hasnt yet seen the advent of even a single hot guy in centuries (not in my lifetime at least..that i can vouch for)..and is not likely to in the near future as well..so guess one can safely rule out any hot guy induced car crashes from my to-do list..hehe..seriously i have no idea why iit guys bemoan the lack of girls on campus..not like there are any great looking guys around either!!

anyway..back to zsa zsa zsu..(i kinda like the sound of that..the alliteration maybe??)..so well..i would more attribute it to the new relationship feeling..when the little things matter..like him holding the door open for u the first time..the accidental brush of fingers while reaching for the bucket of popcorn..that "look across the room"..holding hands for the first time..y'know..cute stuff like that..which somehow take on a special meaning in those first few days..n those who can make that last..well therein lies the true magic..in other words..zsa zsa zsu...............anyway im not the best qualified person to be talking about that either i guess..so on to yet another definition..

hmmmm..well..for me (well at least till the above comes true..highly unlikely though that is..) it would have to be........while mooting..actually not exactly while mooting..just before it begins to be exact..once you've bowed to the judges but havnt yet launched into it..you're just a teensy bit nervous..but this is the zsa zsa zsu of anticipation..you know that once the words start coming out its gonna be alright..15 mins never seems so short..then again..those moments before some result is announced..or when test answer-sheets are distributed..thats the zsa zsa zsu of expectation..then there are those countless cricket match finishes..hehe..also..how can i forget those nailbiting novels..or even movies..plenty of butterflies-in-stomach moments in those..hehe..

anyway..right now just too dog tired to write any more..n have a visit to the forensic lab in the morning..gonna be spending half the day walking around..off to bed i go..so..this is bbye..
ciao..

ps: creations goin on in the univ..cultural week..it rocks..really!!..great events..n the dress codes n themes..niiiicee!!!..n now plans are on for a full fledged law college fest next sem..hope that goes tip-top..now this feels like a real college..woohoo!!!

titleless

sunday again..well so same old story..only significant (?) difference..m getting up early now..(for the ones basking in ignorant bliss..that means m up before noon..hehe..)..but seriously..m waking up at all odd hours of the early (make that verrrry early) morning..which is a huge pain-in-the-a$$ really..coz now i have to feed myself something at like 4.00 am!!..that too when im feeling most particularly laaaazzzzyyy..m steadily getting heartily sick of biscuits n (would u believe it?) chocolates!!..

so anyway..watched "woh lamhe"..good story..kinda the powerful kind..n the girl really can act..n shiney ahuja plays second fiddle most of the time..cant blame him though..the movie is all about kangana..but they make a nice couple onscreen..

well..went out last evening with shanu bhaiya..just for a lark..saturday evening..food n movie trip sorta..hehe..n as usual we dilly-dallied here n there..always end up doing so when m out on a bike..hehe..so we had like 5 mins to get back (ya well OTR always did take too much time in packing food)..we were like really really late..n had like 16 kms to make up in 5 mins..so 8.55 pm n no permi..hehe..i knew i wouldnt get a notice or anything..but then why take the chance..anyway so that return trip was gorgeous..exhileratingly fast!!..oh to feel that cool wind blowing through your hair..i just luuuuuuv fast rides..the faster the better..bikes or cars..especially at nights..dark dark nights..with the moon up (n last nights sight was a beauty..really..especially the full moon over the umed palace..wow!!)..clouds floating around..n to top it off, some nice music if its a car..(if its a bike you pretty much cant hear anything over the screaming wind anyway..hehe..)..so anyway..made it back by 09.07 pm!!!..pretty good eh??..hehe..n that too after being stuck in stupid senseless jodhpur traffic..clear sailing after we hit the highway of course..god i love that stretch..

so in other news..nets been acting up again..connects only during late nights n early mornings n stuff..works for me of course..but anyway..damn pissing off having to reload a page ten times for it to connect..hate that "problem loading page" thing..aaarrrggghhh!!!!!!..n iv got a hectic week of moots n projects staring at me..guess there'll be a lotta muttered curses then..

guess this is it for now..
ciao..

ps: rum balls..one word for them..yummmmmmmm!!!!!

pyar ke side effects

cant believe that i actually sat through an entire mallika sherawat movie without flinching (or visualizing my sisters face if she saw this!!)..i must say i had my reservations about watching it..but it actually surpassed my (albeit extremely low) expectations..of course i was hoping that the presence of rahul bose wouldnt disappoint me..but then any movie which boasts of ms. sherawat in its starcast..well id pretty much rather give it a miss..it was a pleasant surprise hence, when i actually recieved pretty nice reviews of this..its appearence on lan the next day was like a sign..hehe..anyway long story short..it wasnt a total waste of time..so yes its cliched a bit..n the songs could have been done away with..(really what is it with bolly movies n irrelevant songs???)..but it actually was quite funny..and no regular cheapo mallika stuff if u know what i mean..traces of "meet the parents", "notting hill" etc etc dozen other hollywood movies..but it all fell into place nicely..i wouldnt call it a brilliant movie or a must-watch or anything..but nice time-pass kind flick..worth it..

next in line.."woh lamhe"..n this time i have pretty high expectations after "gangster"..lets see if it can live up to it..love the songs already..hope i like the movie..

ciao..

nostalgic..

well m in a weirdly senti mood this nite..hav loads to do..also well-stocked on movies n stuff..but feel like just staring into thin air..hehe..see??..m totally crazy..missing pujas like anything..come to think of it..while i was at home, i wasnt particularly interested in all those pandal hopping sprees..everyone dressed up like they are going to some marriage party in the middle of the day..loudspeakers blaring away some dumb songs at ear-splitting volume..all those traffic jams n one-way roads milling with soo many people the car always got stuck..hehe..detested it all then..n was soo impatient..n now..id give anything to be there..weird eh??..the roads here seem soo empty when i know that the cal roads will have all those huuuge light things..no atmosphere here..the pujo-pujo bhab thats unique to only cal..

but what i miss the most is our own puja at our place..how our whole family used to come together for it..n the house would invariably fall short of space..il be sleeping on the couch (still reserved for me i hear..sweet aint it?)..my bros all packed in like sardines on the floor..all the adults looking for bedding everywhere..all us kids (ya still consider myself that) assigned duties n stuff to help in the puja..making all the prasad n bhog thalis..making the alpana..getting all the flowers..dubba n bel-pata..readying the veranda for the protima..getting the idol..in fact the preparations are much more fun than the puja itself..all us cousins running around all day..me keeping nirjala upwas n my dratted bros n sis (wretches that they are) deliberately taking me out pandal hopping in the evening n making me look at all the food..knowing i cant even think of a drop of water before the puja is over..which will be the middle of the night..hehe..but its all soo much fun..getting everyone to stay up all thru the night..fighting over the dhak-dhol to peetofy..losing breath in between sankh bajaoing n all those weird noises consequently made coz i just couldnt keep from laughing at all the funny faces my dumbo bro would deliberately make..uloo-ing our lungs out..all in different pitches..some not even properly..just wagging the tongue while screeching "uloo-loo-loo" at the top of the voice!!..collapsing in giggles after a sec or two..the exasperated glares from the purut..hehe..

everything so vivid still..as if it just happened yesterday..so many many memories..and to think i still have two more years at least when i wont be home for the pujas!!!..n then god knows where il be working..god how i wish one could remain a child forever..leading careless tension-free lives..school days..only worry being tests n holiday homeworks (oh how i hated that..n put it off till the last min always..classic me..hehe)..all those tiffin periods.."buffet system"..hehe..rainy days when almost noone would come to class..splashing around in the "ganga-yamuna" of the cycle stand..hehe..free periods galore!!..chatting, teasing n joking..getting caught reading a novel in class coz sum dumb guy snitched..making up some wild excuse like it being a "serious book" read as research for a project (well that part was true..i did need anthrax material for my "biowar" project..but that robin cook thriller didnt really give me much material..hehe..but guess what..jain sir actually believed it..n since my notes were top-notch n i read only when the guys asked some dumb question to sidetrack the class..which was like all the time..so he actually gave a telling off to the guy for snitching on me!!..cool or what!!)..hmmm..playing "killer-killer" and some guy winks at u thinking u were winking at him..hehe..all those sessions of "dumb charades" n "spin-the-bottle" during the last few days before exams when almost noone turned up for class..killing time with gay abandon..looking at us noone would think we had our xams in a few days..living life like theres no tomorrow..those really were the best days of my life..unforgettable experiences all..miss it all like hell..

god..all of this is making me feel just too nostalgic..n then m listening to all these senti instrumentals as well..too much "atmosphere" around..well anyway..guess id better get going..this could take forever..
ciao..for now..
