Aati kya khandala......(Nah!)
Well day 3 . I'm in pune right now . Drove from mumbai . The drive was pretty nice. We have rented an innova so pretty comfortable . One interesting thing i noted is the car sounds like a whale at high speeds . Its weird . The whole ride there was like whales talking each other all the way . There were some very cool tunnels on the way . Right through the hills . Nice too see . We passed through Khandala and lonavala . Its been raining every few hours . It rains like its being controlled by some switch . Comes sudden and hard and goes when on its own in a flash . In that way its nice cos the weather is managable . If it was summer then it would have been much more of a pain . Pune is not that big of a place . Even the roads are smallish . Kinda boring as of now . But we came here cos of bro who is doing his MBA in SIBM. Celebrated his birthday and met some other cousins as well so that was nice . Went and saw SIBM campus . Its on top of a hill so the view is awesome . Nice and cool. One funny thing is to see people in formals looking like professionals riding cycles , cos thats the way to get to classes since its some distance from the hostel area . Other than that nothing much .One thing i noticed is that there is no compulsory helmet rule here which is weird to see since the condition of bangalore . Anyway time to go . Will be going to Shirdi on monday , then back to mumbai . Cya . Bangalore must be nice and cool these days.

Mumbai meri jan....(mat le)
Well i'm this jobless that i'm blogging from mumbai .
So far its been interesting in a lot of ways . The plane ride was a big cliche with a crying kid and everything. The plane shook worse than some of the bus rides i've had (well to be fair it was a no frills spice jet plane so its understandable). As soon as i got out of the plane i expected some cool weather since it had rained twice already but all i got was sticky air which is very uncomfortable coming from the bangalore cool air. One thing i always like is going to a place where hindi is the common language which always makes me feel more comfortable. The route to my relatives place was like one long slum. I dont mean to sound like a firang but it was surprising to me. And it wasnt that clean either. Didnt find one clean spot over the whole car ride. Finally we reach . The pleasantries out of the way. Nothing much happened . Then casually went out with dad and his brother to the two malls on each side of the apartment complex. One had a 3D theatre aand all . I want one in Bangalore. Anywho. Walked into the nicer one and there is a huge crowd and photo flashes going of at regular intervals. Well the curious person i am i went upstairs to get a better look from top . And look who it was Imran Khan . On the first day! Not bad eh? He was with some female called Shruti who is apparently the daughter of Kamal Hassan and they were promoting LUCK their new film . Anyway there were three photographers next to me screaming his name out trying to get him to look up so that they can get the best pic all the while cursing under their breath that he isnt listening to their persistent annoying shouting every single second. He looked white as hell . Must have slobbered a ton of powder on his face or maybe he is just that fair. Well thats all for today . Now its time to go . Have to figure out how 10 people are going to sleep in a small apartment . Cya . Will try to post somemore when i can.

..and I get a free tata sky connection!!
Well to understand this statement let me take you back to where it all began...
It was the 17th of july, 2009, the second day of our placement activities. A few of my co-zombies and i were standing outside the placement office, waiting for the technical round results of netapps. Tension was building up by the second, heartbeats pumping, blood pressure rising, when suddenly the news arrived!! The results were out. We all raced in to read the list of names, and there it was staring us in the eye.
Suddenly we realised the the implication of this announcement, SOWMYA P, our friend had been placed in NDS!! Happiness, thrill, excitement, all these feelings and many more had just rushed in. We were all too happy for her, all of us jumping as if we had got placed ourselves. Congratulations and hugs were being shared, joy expressed and calls being made. Being placed in a company like NDS was an achievement of sorts, the job was good and the package was handsome.
That is when Karan called. Initially she uttered the "thank you's" and "definitely's" (regarding our demands for a grand treat). Then i heard her joyfully exclaim "..and I get a free tata sky connection!!", which made me realise that Sowmya still is and would always be the cutest and sweetest kid around!!
Congatulations Sowmya..

Being funky? Not really..
To quote a very famous person, "Joblessness leads to all creation of collages". No points on guessing who the famous person is.
This is what the last few hours of my time has amounted to.

P.S. : Reading this article, cows in diapers dont seem so ridiculous any more.
P.P.S. : I hadn't written a P.S. in a long time.
P.P.P.S : Credit for the pics go to befunky.com. Nice site.

Wordplay

He WED
his WIFE,
who he met at a RAVE party,
TODAY.
He went ZOOMing
to the wedding, on the way he saw PIGS
with WINGs.
He NODded
RUEfully
with HOPES
that TONER
would SAVE him.
"BUT
i AM
KINDER",
he thought, RUBbing
his ZITs.

Well, other than the last part, it fits nicely.
Anyway, the pic is of the game of scrabble we played the first time in Rio. And referring to the scrabble game we played today, wikipedia says "ok or o.k. is the abbreviation for okay". Whereas some other site says OK originated first and okay was derived later. So is okay, ok? Or is ok okayed? Either way, I win, okay?
P.S. : Thanks Nyah for the wonderful pic.

The Truth and Jhooth of Life (you can help with a better title)
Life is full of ups and downs,
But we always have the urge to move on!
Sometimes we wish to fly like a bird so freeee,
No resumes, unix, data structures or C;
Just the thought of being a carefree zombie
with which comes the package of laughter,
insults and stupidity!;)
But all this can be dreamt while sleeping;)
The wake up call to reality is a slap on the face which is freaky!:P
But we can make our own future,we can believe in our zombie-selves.
And no matter whats ahead,we always know that FRIENDS are there,
Through thick and thin,through words unsaid :).
This comes from the heart,my first time sonnet ;).
And right now i jus feel like going to bed (YAWN!) :).
