new year,new things!!

"my first post of the year 2009,has come during a bad time moreover sentimental not merely coz these are the last days of an uneventful college life,but thinking how i wasted four years of my life..still these four years changed me a lot,met many new faces,made some great relations,found out that btech degree is good for nothing and u know nothing more than a school child even worse at times..

this year started off with my cousin bros marriage,i never thought he will ever marry coz we were all never serious,we were all kids until the day i realized he was getting married,the first in our family,enjoyed a lot,huge shoppings,frequent visits to beauty parlours,took a whole two weeks off from college and was there from the beginning to the end..another shock came in the form of the mariages of my two other brothers in the same year which makes me the next eligible candidate..but its too early for me,too dificult for atleast 10 more years which will be a suitable time frame to execute my plans..after that maybe i will marry,have some four or five children depending on*..

*conditions apply,i dont fall into any relation"

the last peg!!

"im a bit boozy now,vodka kicking my head as if the world around has slowed its pace..exams are over and that was enough for the celebration,fed up of omitting things into my paper which i never felt is true..i have kept a last peg after which i wont last any further,that will be into my veins before i sleep..all my friends who deliberately or accidently read my blog have been asking for not posting these days and i thought this was the perfect time for one..and readers please apologise for any offensive language coz im not in my normal self while posting this,maybe this is the true self,as great drunks confess that they are an open book after gulping a few..im not one among them..so what the bloody hell im talking about??and what are you interested to know about me..about my last crush or the new ones im after??enough guys,i had enough..no more in this life..dont know whether its the guilt in me which is playing on,i cant face that girl whom i tried earlier on..i hardly speak to her,maybe she is trying to bring back the old friendship we had..but i had enough,nothing more..

did i tell you about my latest obsession to nothing,but hitler..im spending lot of time researching on his life..a "good for nothing guy" raising to the position where the whole world starts fearing him..really impressed with this guy,a guy of hardly 5 ft or something with nothing but some weird ideology of ruling the world..dont worry guys..im not seriously trying to emulate his life..but he spreads out a message for the world which none recognizes that nothing is impossible if you have the determination,even to rule the world..enough for today,nothing comes to mind,and on the other side im also learning some peace from the 1982 movie "Gandhi"..a great one,once happened to watch a dubbed version on some channel,now i watched the original version..so,time to finish off the last and fall into my bed.."

b'day bash that was then!!!!!!!

"unfortunately im drafting this on my friends laptop instead of my favourite old ageing warhorse which is now virus-laden..its been more than a month or two since my last post,sorry im a bit busy leading my otherwise dull life,a quest to bring more happiness and meaning to it..but there were indeed some green patches on the dark desert..one came in the form of my 21st year of existence in this beautiful world,celebrations went on till midnight,thanks to my great friends who made it memorable which otherwise used to be a quiet one..and another fact brings more happiness,being officially eligible for a marriage in India..sounds pretty cool,but in these last 21 years of failed attempts for having a girlfriend,i lost interest in the whole affair..rather i wish to be a mammas boy marrying someone parents finds for me,so obedient of myself,provided i wont jump onto those fair skinny ones before that..so,lot of things happened through these days,a couple of trips,bangalore,mysore,palani all happened..


then,broke a few rules which i had made for myself..did a mischief which in no way going to be discussed here..and the breaking news,i proposed a gal which i would not have done otherwise for my stupid friend who wanted to know how well i was in it,anyway nothing worked out and im now thankful for things happening the way it did,i never liked that gal(not coz it didnt work out!!),a little foolish that time,being single is the most wonderful thing in life..even though the first attempt happened this way,im not averse to the whole thing,a bit careful from hereon..and back to my life motive,im a veggie once again and will continue so as long as nobody deliberately intends to break my freshatarian routine,and the best part,it put a serious check on my expences..last two months possess some of the most eventful days in my life,getting a job was one of the best experiences,i was on top of the world..then in a few days,everything was back to normal,the boring lectures,the assignments,the same life.."

Coffee @ Coorg.......

"im really tired now,yawning on my chair,sipping my coffee,watching an IPL match..im just back after making the trip of a lifetime,bringing back lots of memories to cherish..this time it was Coorg known as the "Scotland of India",the trip happened all of a sudden,out of nowhere,seriously speaking we had no idea where to go even after reaching a long way from home..then all of a sudden,Coorg came up as it was my first time..its a long 300 plus kms from home taking around 7 hrs to reach this picturesque hill station..its misty hills,lush green valleys,evergreen forests,meandering brooks beckon nature lovers for a tranquil sojourn..mostly,its villages and small townships with coffee plantations all around,orange groves and dense forests..


we stayed at a cottage in the middle of a coffee estate,some 10 kms from Madikeri,the district headquarters of Coorg..a white bearded man in his 60's,a typical malayali owned the whole property,many acres of coffee plantations,pepper,cardamom,literally everything on world grew there..as the saying goes,"whereever you go,you will find a mallu in every corner of the world",most of the business done there are by malayalis,from petty shops to hotels..basically the Coorgs are known for their hospitality and bravery,they have a martial tradition and has many army generals,officers and soldiers..the women there are tall with nice body shapes and are extremely beautiful with a unique way of wearing their sarees..and beware,dont be stunned by their looks,their men are very protective about their women and may even risk your life..




the best thing about Coorg is the unique culture and tradition

supplemented with a cuisine dominated with meat,chicken and

pork..the rice rotti and pork curry was really a nice treat with

bamboo pickles,the foods spicy with masalas and all..





i had a relaxed day,enjoying the misty winds,all green,hills rising at some distance with a sip of coffee outside our cottage.. we started slowly the next day,proceeding to the Tibetan settlements at Kushalnagar,some 40 kms from where we stayed..one could peek into the Buddhist culture,the many monks with those red clothes who stroll through the streets.. the Namdrolling monastery houses three gigantic statues of Lord Buddha and his disciples which is as high as 60 ft from ground..the Golden temple is simply marvellous with paintings on the walls depicting the story of the life of Lord Buddha..there are thousands of monks and another thousand families living here..their prayers were strange in a way,loud chantings which i never understood,beating the large drums and those child monks looking seriously couldnt help,but made me laugh..as we drove through the fields,i could imagine the hardwork and labour put up by these wonderful people to start a new life,when they were forced to leave their country in the 60's..now they have their on land,schools,colleges,business centres,often felt like i was in a different country..on either side of the road,prayer flags of different colours decorated the trees and houses..i was greatly moved by their show of solidarity towards the fellow Tibetans with posters and writings against Chinas brutality and to boycott their items,posters and sayings of their leader,Dalai Lama were all around the streets..as we drove away,i remembered the beautiful smile of the Tibetan girl at one of those shops..


after lunch,we had a scheduled visit to one of our family friends home at Aborghate,a village some 10 kms from Somwarpet,another district near Coorg..the drive through the narrow village roads with large fields on either side,with often no signs of human life made me nostalgic..we could see a rural household once in a while,cattles strolled the roads with children amazed at the motor they see very rarely..after a 2 hr drive,twice losing the way often due to the difficulty in communicating with mainly labourers,we reached the place..there was a 10 minute walk from where we parked through steep,uneven roads where only four-wheel drives and tractors could move,crossing streams and green meadows,we reached the home.. there were fields on all sides,stream flowing along the boundary,large jackfruit trees and we sat under it on the courtyard,a typical rural household with cows,dogs and all.. moreover i was impressed at this guy who is an IIM graduate and threw away his high paid job to start farming at their ancestral home, somewhere its even difficult to reach at a time when even uneducated people migrate to cities for a better living..the drive back through the forests was really a risky affair since it was already late and elephants often strolled on the roads..


unfortunately,we had to rush back home the very next day due to an unexpected call,our earlier plans were to be dropped..our last visit was to the Rajas Seat,perched atop a hill,overlooking a wide valley where the kings spent their evenings,watching the spectacular sunset and mesmerizing view of the valley around,it gives a glimpse of the hilltops rising above the mist-covered valley to kiss the sky..after making some last minute shopping of the typical Coorg specialities of bamboo pickles and honey,we bid farewell to this enchanting beauty with the promise of returning soon.."

livin' on an unknown land.......

"we have a largely globalized world,cities grow by each second more rapidly than you blink your eyes..man always live on his dreams,what you see today as a distant future is tomorrows reality..such is the pace at which this worlds developing,even the very beings often have to struggle to cope with..this never ending growth force many people to leave their native lands and migrate to the brighter side of the world..
but what they end up becoming??

man has been nomadic by heart from generations,never confined to a smaller horizon..even today man is no different,he carries with him the same quest for better things in life..but there is a small twist in the story..people after being over-ambitious about a highly paid luxurious life end up their better part of life toiling in unknown lands creating wealth for the american and european economies..its never that easy to start a life in an unknown land,to start from the very beginning,learn a new language,where you dont have an identity,where you are a complete stranger in the crowd..any place in the world if you are living as a foreigner,you are always considered as a second class citizen which is no better than begging on streets,this fact hardens up more if you are an asian and even more if you are an indian..and after loosing their prime years working,might have earned a bit,but when they realizes about their lost days,it will be late enough having children and grandchildren..nothing brings the same happiness as living in your own land,where you were born,where people know you,where you are one among them,where you speak your language..some people blame it on the lack of opportunities,but opportunity is not something which is already there,its something one himself has to create..what people need is the realization that its not the few extra bucks you make there,but the enjoyment in life you get here..so,guys goin abroad for the dollars,juz make a second thought!!"

when life backfires!!!!!!!

"so its again sunday and its been a little while since i last posted,my blog needs a new lease of life before its premature death..frankly speaking,these days im in no mood to blog,all i do is keep myself confined to the four walls of my hostel room..this weekend is different,i rushed back home,really needed a break from the busy life,bit bored too..all i do after reaching home is keep on talking with mom,help her in kitchen,to tell the truth,i love cooking once in a while,otherwise im only interested in the other part of the business,thats eating..chappattis,veg kurma,noodles are all my specialities and occasionally assist the master cook,my mom..according to her,i make the best tea,i seriously doubt whether thats a complement or just an excuse so that i will make it everytime im home..anyway,i love all the whole tea affair,this is infact a tactic of voicing my cause to prospective girls looking for a suitable boy,they dont need to toil in kitchen,or rather worry about the partner being arrogant..anyone hearing??


and another surprise happened when i made unusual visits to temple,not one,this time three of them..this place is known for its temples,its cultures,its "the land of festivals"..people with simple lives,they celebrate most of the 365 days,be it the "poorams" in temple or an occasion in church..maybe im excited about it coz its my place..its when something goes wrong that you suddenly remember god,make sudden visits to temple and churches,same thing happened to me..what i really wanted is not gods help,but to thank for the few people close to my heart,who always be with me during success and failures..i have a lot of friends around me,but there are some who is always there to celebrate my success and to share my sorrows..others remain silent spectators when i lose and maybe happy too laughing silently..i also lost quite a number of them in the flow of life and there are some who still remain with me..they are the greatest treasure i possess..its for having them that i thank god..i pray,i wish i too be of some help during their needs.."

dare to or not to have a girl!!!!!!!

"feb 14..another valentines day..and still single..who knew when i simply discarded those lovely girls who came to me earlier in life,mostly during my school days that i will face its consequences,result,a boring and dull college life..maybe god had decided then,it was then or never..fate..thats what i love to call it..past is past,now i like to rethink on it,am i a bloody loser??i havent really lost anything,money,time,like some of my heart-broken friends,their girls after romancing for a long time simply dumbed those poor chaps with the ease of plucking a flower..really funny when some guys gift expensive craps from the likes of archies and hallmarks and others send those boring forward messages..having a girlfriend is a risky business,afterall an expensive one too..reasons are quite simple..

reasons:

1.u need to completely transform into her dream man,

2.never talk to other girls,

3.should be punctual at icecream parlours,

4.never forget her birthday,

5.never miss those weekly cinemas,

6.have a good physique,

7.boring late night chats,

8.hear to no one other than her,

9.answerable to the smallest errors in life like she hates your underwear colour..

10.wear what she loves,eat what she loves,love to hate whatever she dislikes..

(free to comment if you have more..)

in total,its a complete mess..still,should i have a girl??right now,i could easily fit my eating menus into budget,never over spending on craps,thanks to my mobile phone,balance never more than a rupee,no petrol bills on bike coz i dont have one..a girl would mean,more frequent recharges,control my food("what you call,forced diet!!"),never hang out with friends,never talk or dare to look on those beautiful girls you meet,need to sacrifice a lot..well,still there are chances,if she is a christian or muslim,its okay coz ours is a secular nation,but not for my mom..finding the perfect match is like counting the stars..or am i just trying to convince myself as somewhere in my mind i know i am never going to get a girl,coz my looks not all impress anyone,nor my character..call it whatever you need..truth is simple,im still single..

(what i think:valentines day are for the young hearts to waste some bucks to let themselves know they are in love..so whats all about anti-valentines..they are just for the other half of the people to self confess that they are no good for a relation!!)"
