Stadium in a room!

Akhtar at the end of his run up. You can see pure aggression on his face. He is coming charging toward the wicket bowling to one of the best batsman in the world… On to the front foot and the ball has disappeared out of the stadium. Sachin is doing what he is best at… whooping the steam out of the bowlers.

The sound is so real that you cannot find the difference between the stadium and our indoor theater!!

Watching a match with someone around is great but with 500 people around you?? It just can’t get any better! It’s the stadium atmosphere. With all the ohhhhs and ahhhhs made when the ball just misses the wicket or fails to take a leading edge, to the whistles and screams when the ball crosses the boundary line… you can find it all.

Yet another feather in my hostel’s hat! Experiencing the thrills and chills... man, I just love it. I love my hostel. You just can’t watch a match like this anywhere else. Surround sound effect with Dolby tech! To add to that, you have more than 500 people screaming and cheering their home team.

Merry Christmas!!!

Some people find it funny when they attend their first christmas mass. Especially when you have no clue of whats happening out there and the language is too complicated for you to understand. You look at people around you praying and you finally decide to follow the crowd. But still, you do feel out of place.

I was one of those!!

No doubt that it was an enlightening experience to know the insights and proceedings of a new religion... but still there is a nagging doubt in your mind... what am i doing here??

The cake was great!

When you travel 8 hrs in a stupid government bus with pre-historic seats... you wish the trouble is worth it.

It was.

Weight Control

I weigh 74kg and my waist size is 32 inches!!

That was my condition 2.5 years back. I now weigh 60 kgs and my waist size is 28 inches. Well, it did not take me so long to reduce. Infact it just took me a month to come to my current weight and i have not put on weight since then. Hostel mess zindabad!!

For a guy who is 5'11 is it that bad??

I remember vodka telling me that i look punny on a pulsar. Bloody hell, who cares!! Its not that i listen to people... more over i am probably gona ride on heavier machineary like the Yamaha R1 which has got 180 horses under its hood. I dont give a damn about how people think i look on a bike. I would go by the pleasure and kick i have riding her.

But then... i dont like the fact that people think i am too thin. I do realize that i have actually shed down really a lot and its high time to put on some weight. I just cant find out ways to put on some weight.

I am at home right now and making a conscious effort to eat more and put on some weight. But, i am sure once i am back to mdu i would loose all that extra weight. And the gym, would actually act as a catalyst!!

I am happy i am not carrying any extra flesh. Makes me more flexible, agile and ready for action 24x7.

LAKSHYA...

A dark tunnel leading into another. Is there light anywhere. Wish I could say let there be light.

This is my conditions as of now. I am stuck in the silence before the war. I have just come out of a tunnel. A tunnel which took me 2.5 years to travel. Though I see tunnels... I see a lot of them. Each of them as dark as the others, as inviting as the others and as attractive as the others. Its time to make those few vital decisions which are going to pave your path to glory. Glory is the destination... But you have to choose how you get there...

This post has been titled lakshya after the movie by the same name. Its one of the movie that has had its impact on me. I must have seen the movie a million times. It just reminds me of myself.

A man, with no possible knowledge of what the future has instore for him, who is happy go lucky type ends up on one of the highest peaks of the country!

Well, It took him 24 years and 18000 feet to realize himself!

What about me?? No idea again. Just when things start to clear up its gets blurred again. Its like watching a trailer.

Back to BASE!!

I have finally reached home. It was a gruesome 3 weeks. This is the first time in 5 sems that I feel I have put in some work towards my acads. I just hope the results show the same.

The trip back home was bad. Reached chennai about 2 hours late. I was actually thankfully that it did not rain that day! My train from chennai started 1.5 hours late and reached hyderabad about 5 hours late!! I thought I would see the rising sun back at home but reached on time for lunch.

Even the company back to hyd was not great. I had 3, ok looking gals in my block. Initially I was excited. Finally I get to see some good looking gals.. Fact that I am deprived of them back at mdu! So I guess I made great plans which eventually crashed harder than a MIG-21.

It turned out that all three of them were from IIT M. A place, a dreamland for many including me. But destiny has its own way! Now this is where I found out the difference between a normal gal and an IIT gal!!

1. All they spoke about was about their courses.
2. Though they had a junior around... NO RAGGING!!
3. They were discussing about how their profs teach.
4. About all the "mugging" that they do.
5. Tips on doing it better.
6. Each of them shouting at the top of their voice just to be heard... Haven't they ever heard.. You need to listen to the other person too.
7. All of them speak at the same time. Do not care about what the other person has to say but all they want is to put their point forward.
8. They do not speak about the guys!!
9. And finally when they DID speak about the guys... They addressed them with their "All India Rank". That guy is AIR-2 and he is AIR-196. Blah..Blah..
10. They started discussing about some theory on how to arrange their wardrobe.. How whites are a big NO-NO and black ZINDABAD. Didn't you know that black is the best colour no matter what!!

Well, I would have spoken, IF I WAS GIVEN A CHANCE. They were busy in their own world that I was not interested in getting them out of it.

Are all gals like this?? Obviously NOT, cause I know a lot who are not! But then.. With gals.. You never know!!

Anyways, I have finally come back to home base and intend on doing something worthwhile for the next 2 weeks. Well, I did have a good start as I slept the whole day.

I’m coming back I will return

And I’ll possess your body and I’ll make you burn

I have the fire I have the force

I have the power to make my evil take it’s course

THE DEVIL IS BACK!!
