"Stairway to heaven" for LED ZEP FANS!!

LED ZEPPLEIN -a band which has inspired a generation of Guitarists!!A band whose frontman & guitarist Jimmy Page is worshipped as a GOD!! For all the fans of this legendary band ,here's a news which will pull the rug under their feet.The big news is that band is coming back!!Yes!! It's reuniting for Concerts!! My joy knew no bounds when I read this news.Though I,by any chance, wont have any luck of attending it's live shows but the news has already left my spirit drenched with some it's classics!!
To it's 20 million fans across the world diz news would definitely be something like a dream coming true!!Who could have imagined that one day people will again get to see their hereos performing classics like "Stairway to Heaven", "Black Dog", "Kashmir" !!LIVE!!
Taking about "Stairway to Heaven", I think this is a song which which is just unmatched in English music .No wonder time & again it is voted as the best song in English Music.Personally,I m too a die-hard fan of this legendary song although not of all the songs of the band!! But "Stairway.."is in aleague apart of it's own!!It's like u start floating in an another world da moment u put on this song. It's like losing ur senses!It's so hypnotizing!!I simply feel dat my spirit has really left my body while listening to Jimmy Page's voice.
No song can drive me as hysterical & mad as this song espcially the lines below...

"There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
and my spirit is crying for leaving..
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
And it makes me wonder

...If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder".
God! Why isn't LED ZEP coming to India?? Why ? Why ? Why?

I'm back!!

Friends!! I m active on my blog again!!. Sorry!! for not posting anything new from quite a long time.I think u guys would have become sick of seeing the same old post dangling here for da last 3 months .Due to a lil busy schedule here & above all because of Blogger being banned in da office I was unable to post anyhting new!!
Now ,Keep visiting regularly ...COZ I'M BACK!!

A letter to all u people

Hi ppl,
I hope all of u would be enjoying life to the t.
Here's one letter which will give u a peep into the life which u all will also start very soon.

Well, it's been 20 days that I have been here .The experience so far has been better than what I had expected. The only tiring work has been the Flat dealing.Now I realise why do people say that relocation is a big problem . God now I know how difficult it is to get a gud flat within ur budget & then how much a Herculean task it is to arrange everything on your own- right from buying a gas cylinder to keeping a maid for ur work u ve to deal with each & every small or big problem on ur own. To not make this a long article here's some things I really liked about this place & company

The Things I like about this pl

>First & foremost, this is NCR.Yea guys,-the land u used to talk about-the land of hot chicks.Eye-candies are here, there & everywhere.But warning if u are tired & want to relax urself with a dose of eye-tonics don't go to a mall u ll return back even more frustrated on seeing hot hot chicks wasting their time with champu guys.

> New Employee Celebration program: What a welcome it was.Just marvellous!!We were given the kind of welcome the Indian cricket squad gets when it returns victorious.Each one of us was greeted with a bouquets from the HR team were given in Radisson Hotel( wowie!a 7 star hotel) & after that we were led to a conference room.Believe me guys, it was just surreal.No I was not flabbergasted on seeing a 5 star hotel as I had been to a few in the past but what delighted us were the arrangemets.It Was exactly like the kind of arrangements u see in Celebrity nights or like the one u see in Conclaves & the best part was the food.Unlike the 5 star food xperience which I had in the past which was downright horrible,the food was sumptuous.(Bakra halaal karne se pehle use mota karne kaa tradition follow kiya jaa raha hai.)

>Lemme get a lil serious now.After all I am supposed to a professional.U know me better I can no way mend my ways & wild habits but yea professionalism is followed to a T here.Earlier, I used to think all this much hyped word is a mere is just another gud word which like most of the words is limited to mgmt books only .But no, here professionalism is in each & every work.Whether it be reporting exactly on time or taking care of it's employees the company actually cares for its employees.

>No load absolutely. No tension. Contrary to our batcmates who r are slogging their asses off in other companies till 7 in the office, these days I come back before 5 o clock.Free internet the whole day. Blessing in disguise when the lectures gets boring-don't give a damn about what the lecturer is blabbering about ,just start bugging people on gtalk. This is my favourite timepass these days apart from playing billiards & table tennis & finally I'll start going to the gym .


The things I miss-
Well I ve already listed a couple of things I like about this place but frankly speaking now after slogging my ass off in get all the things done for a flat I realise there's nothing better on this earth than ur home. So guys ,especially whose joining seems a zillion years away enjoy & savour ur stay at home .Believe me u r living a far better life at home !!

Seriously, I miss u guys very much & although I remain quite busy these days but not a day passes by when I don't remember u guys & not a day passes by when I don't miss the gachness with which we lived in our great college .

& the last thing straight from the heart:As u know me very well, I get along with people very easily & I find friends & no wonder I've found a lot of new friends here who all are pretty gud but believe me I can say that I don't & probably won't get guys like u in my life .I know I may get better places,better people but I won't get great friends like u.Maybe u'll feel like I'm getting a sentimental but hey no!I can say that no matter how much money I may earn or no matter how lavishly I may live but i can say that I lived life Kingsize only once-dat was in NIT,Jamshedpur. The beautiful season of friendship lasted a short 4 years in the college.
I can say that "I felt true friendship with u guys-Dion,Sam,Rathi,Pragna,Bomber,Gandhi, Shubham,Wasu, Krish & many, many more & I'm sure I won't be able to get such a life & such great guys back."
With love
-Manvender aka ur beloved Meminem

Some rooms,some ppl, some eccentricities!!

Finally, I’m out with a new post. I’m down with fever from the time I’ve left the college & even nostalgic & all the memories of the four years of college life keep flashing through my mind now & then. I wish if I could relive all those moments again.
Well, Before going to this college I’d never seen such a variety of people & never expected that such kinda people actually exist.Sounds weird ,naa? I guess ours was the batch with greatest variation. With Mr. Hero-Anoop Tiwari, Vipul on one side of the spectrum to Gandhi & Meerut on the other.Well,leave these people we ourselves had our own strange ways, weird perceptions & were full of our idiosyncrasies. I thought Dion has already given a farewell post on Rathz's blog so le's give something different.So,Here I'm with some of my big-time idiosyncrasies as well as some eccentric ways of some of the good friends I had there!!

I must confess that I had a lot of prejudices when I landed up in our gr8 college.
I was not only prejudiced but a bit rigid in my thinking.So the first few months was the metamorphosis period for me.
My fight with the STD booth waala was something that had ,at that time, become the talk-of-the-town & I guess it was the starting point of “The Rajput” crappy legends u all had woven around me but the truth is I was damn scared after thrashing that guy. Thankfully, the mattered cooled down only when I had to say “Sorry” to that guy( against my pride & to my utter embarrassment) .Some of my other stupid things for which I became known were my famous plate & spoon which I took to the mess religiously for the first 2 months.Sounds weird & stupid.doesn’t it?.It maks me laugh now.Again my two weird bamboo sticks(for mosquito net) were something everyone used to intentionally play with to piss me off.My list can keep on going but i've to give some much desired space to my friends to.(Knocked!!)
Well, the times we had in 211 were the times that’ll I’ll remember as the “Best days of my life” .It was the room which gave me my best pals -Dion & Sam. Dion –cool, talented, just into everything but hey wait!! u people don’t know him as well as I do bcoz I got the privilege to be his roomie.This dude is a bag full of eccentrities. Fan,lights, windows –he hadn’t spared even a single thing in the room about which he didn’t argue with us. His most crappy habit which used to bug the rest of his unforgiven roomies i.e. Sam, Atri & me- was switching on the fan on cold, chilly winter nights to leave the rest of us shivering like hell!! Not to mention his closing all the room windows in hot freaking summers nights which used to piss us off big-time & his strange explanations for this were something which used to make me feel like hanging myself (or rather him!!) & how can we forget his famous copyrighted dialogue -“I don’t mind doing this but the thing is…”(with a weird & wacky reason filling up the blank). So that was about Dion & his strange ways. About Samik- though gifted with a lot of grey cells yet posterboy of procrastination & laziness who used to fall asleep every now & then .No wonder he flunked an exam(quite unexected from a brainy guy like him!!) bcoz he hadn’t studied even a word before the xam-thanx to his sleeping habit!!
Sometimes, I wonder that inspite of being like three different directions how did we converge on our beautiful road of friendship!! Maybe our case is the same as is the case with Rathz & Chaki (aka Kaka)-two regular visitors of our room .Rathz always bubbling with some or the others of his wacky ideas ,who used to do everything according to his time-table & Chaki (with ever raised eyebrows signifying his permanent Load)who used to laugh at his own silly & humourous tales(while others used to find his tales far from funny & used to laugh at the mere silliness of his tales & jokes) ,who after giving speeches that he won’t cheat in the xam used to get up at 4 am to prepare chutkas.Well, Chaki I hope u are not doing it in Accenture.You’ll spoil our college’s already spoilt name if u get caught there!! Well these were two roomies. How they stuck together & remained good friends is still a mystery but hey wait..were these the two weird friendship stories..No, the strangest story is that of Rudra & Bora.
Only God can answer how they stuck together in one room .Rudra( who used to be gifted by us with a nickname every other month ..longlasting being..”Sleeping Hollow”, ‘Crudralogic” ,” Aatma” “MP” etc.) being as lively as a piece of wood. Who doesn’t know that he actually sat one day for two long hours in the same position without flinching even a bit with a guitar in his hands?? Good God gifted this guy with an unusual aesthetic sense & great music skills otherwise only the Almighty knows how would he have passed his time..I guess Chess is something which Rudra should ve quitted now. After all, who can face the embarrassment of facing defeats after defeats from every tom-dick & harry & dat too when he used to have a “How to win Chess Games” book by his side the whole day.I don’t remember even a single time when I had seen Rudra studying. Perenially gatch n tension free. Just opposite to Rudra was his eccentric roommate Mr. Bora who used to pull his hair out by just seeing Rudra not studying even during the exams.We used to wonder how his 32 streamlined teeth used to come out the moment he used to see a senior. Even when no joke was being cracked or anything. Bors used to go insane laughing & laughing in front of seniors(n guess wat..coz of fear..;) ) & we used to go insane seeing him..

These were some of the weird rooms & some of their equally weird denizens..All these people have been wacky, strange & some like me even insane but wat bound all of us together was the thread of friendship-the friendship which was so beautiful that it fulfilled & enriched our lives & a friendship which can’t be described in words.

I miss u my beloved college. I miss u friends & I miss evry moment of the great time we had together in the college. Hope our friendship remains as strong as it was in the college.
All the Best!! Cheers!!

Recollecting sm panga yaadein!!

Indeed,time flies by very fast.It seems like ystday when I (alongwith Gandhi)was secretly putting up notices in all hostels in the darkness of nite urging "the students’ fraternity to stage a mass protest against the deplorable condition of electricity in the college”(This was one of the lines of the notice that I’d drafted) & how shit scared I was when after having a clash with the Power grid people the police came searching for the person who had instigated this drama & unfortunately, that person was me .I’d never expected that things will take this ugly turn. I remember on the day of the protest I alongwith a coupla other guys went to each & evry room in the down hostels calling people out to join us if they want a solution to this electricity problem.At 9 am ,in front of the AD building,all people from Down hostels were joined by our juniors from the up hostels as well as girls frm the GH(That was the first time when gals became a part of any dharna in this college).
As generally happens in such protests, the college administration bluntly asked students to go back but after realizing that their booming voice is falling on deaf ears ,those poor souls were forced to have a meeting wih our hall representatives. The meeting ended with usual tall promises from the college authorities.
The incidents which took place after that sometimes give me goose bumps.We all went to the power grid & there in anger some ppl severed their office telephone lines & that was enough to bring out the demons in the men & their families who lived in the small huts in the power grid area..The area turned into a battlefield where we were surrounded by tribal men & women with swords,pickets & daggers in their hands .That picture of a tribal women hurling out abuses at us & charging at us with pickets & swords in their hands still sends a shiver down my spine. I still remember the scared faces of Rudra,Samik, Rahul & Rathz,Wasu etc. running for their lives with me & hundreds of others .We all were like people who were trapped in a well with no scope of escape. While I was running to find a safe passage out, I was stunned to see a tribal woman with at least a 2 meter long picket in her hand right in front of me spitting out abuses & with an angry face like that of Maa Kaali & embery eyes .I was thinking jus one thing can leave me dead the very next moment-that is a strike from that woman on my head.That was the only time in my life till date when I felt that surely it’s gonna be my last day on the earth & was saying to God ”Bhagwaan, maine toh abhi tak es duniya main kuch dekha hi nahin hai..Plz mujhe bacha le”. Bhagwaanji listened to our prayers(I’m damn sure that everyone would be praying the same thing )
Somehow, when we came back from the battlefield unscathed & people were happy that they ve just had visions of death, my biggest tension started then.The police was already on the campus & was questioning people about who initiated this. When somebody told me that police is enquiring people about the instigators,believe me, my mind & my face went dead blank. God only knows what all hurricanes were rocking mind that day.I was thinking that ur bright past & a brighter future is gonna be washed away by today’s back-out .What if the police comes & arrests me or even takes me to the police station?What if they inform my parents about this?What will happen to my hard-earned reputation in the college?Everybody would be slepping soundly while I’d be doing the rounds of the police station.
The police didn’t come that evening.But that didn’t give me any relief. That fateful night ,I couldn’t get a wink of sleep.The whole time all my achievements were flasing thru my eyes in the darkness of my room.That was the first time when I woke up at 4 am in the morning..Prayed to God to save me..As they say God’s listens to all so he listened to me too..so next day again the police came but the director didn’t give them permission to talk to any student.The moment I heard this news I felt like a weight as heavy as the earth’s weight is being unburdened from my shoulders.I was feeling relieved.
All this is now a thing of past, but I still wonder is it not right to fight for ur rights?How long can u bear a careless & a corrupt authority?Was I right in instigating all this? What would ve happened if the Police had caught hold of me? There are many ifs & buts but I personally feel that we were not wrong in voicing our opinion thru a dharna but what happened after dharna was st which shouldn't ve happened.But no regrets!!All in all it was a great experience which we'll remember down the memory lane.
Cheers!!

MY "Lose urself" !!

LOSE URSELF-MEMINE...

My humble beginning as a rapper..The song is "Lose yourself"- my fav Eminem song,once rated as the 4th best song in Eng. music.
I dedicate this song to Marshall(Eminem) -my demi-God who has influenced me & my life like no one else ever has .

Yes! We did It!!

THE FREAKY WILD CROWD @ 11 pm


"It’s a total dud.This yr's juke-box sucks.”.This is what was going thru my mind till the evening of the first day of Utkarsh-’07 but soon I was to be proved wrong when by evening the entire court was jam packed with the crowd dancing madly to the blaring music.
This year’s juke-box was something that we as well as our juniors will remember in the years to come. Without a second thought, I can say our juke-box was even better than KGP’s .All our creative endeaveours & endless meetings bloomed fully during these three days.We put so much effort in making those posters of G-stall with the smiling big photo of Gandhi visible around the college..Guys,Gandhi indeed got his 30 secs(oops! 3 days) of long-deserved fame.(pun intended!)
Frankly speaking, when we( Da Juke-box gang-Rathz,Raj,Dion & of course, me) were working on introducing competitions like Sudoku, N-snake, Chirkutting, Blind Date etc. I was pretty skeptical about the response our these new ideas will get from the crowd especially about the success of the ‘Blind Date’ thing . I wasn’t expecting that any gal would be interested in it-only to be proved wrong again.

DA JUKE-BOX GANG (Camera: Flash : oops! my eyes closed !!)

With the start of 2nd day, all those rats started coming out of their rat-holes. I, who himself hasn’t solved a single sudoku till date,was surprised to see people jostling for participation in Sudoku. N-snake also received pretty gud response from all those poor souls who would ‘ve drawn flak from others for wasting their time playing Snake on their Nokias & ya! the thing I was most skeptical about –Blind Date proved to the biggest hit. In the morning, the registrations were just mild but huh ho!! to our utter amazement all the chicks walked in & wat say, after dat the registrations zoomed across the sky crossing the 150 . Overjoyed with the crowd response ,we came up with a Fear-Factor like idea at 10 in the nite but now we were sure that it’s gonna be a huge hit nxt day & we were not wrong !!
& all this wouldn’t have being possible without our planning & also the cooperation of our jrs - Sameer(for DJing),Nandy(for sacrificing his lappy), ,Masca(for slogging hs ass in registrations) ,Golu(for the Fear Factor idea & of course, his bike) & Shankar(for keeping the crowd engaged ). Now that Utkarsh is over ,All I can say is that we were determined to make this Utkarsh a big hit & we did it!! Now we’ve set a benchmark ,I hope our junior batchs take this mark even higher & make the nxt yr’s Utkarsh even a bigger hit.
For those of u who’ve weren’t here try this tongue twister which was the one among many I gave to the crowd but which even a single person couldn’t get perfectly rite(even I’d to practice it countless times to get it perfectly rite):
“Betty bought a bit of butter,but the bit of butter was a bit butter so she bought a bit of better butter to make the bit of bitter butter a bit better”

" Gud times pass very quickly & aft dat wat remains are the memories-sweeter than even those gud times "

My Two sides @2 in the night!!

It's 2 in the night, a lot of fleeting thoughts are doing the rounds of my head .
Just felt like penning down some of these.


As an another day of my life comes to an end,
My heart & mind still fighting, no more they are friends.
For sure, what one wants to say the other understands
Yet they refuse to budge from their own stands

My mind is strong yet so volatile
My heart is like a stone yet so fragile.
My mind turns a deaf ear to what my heart has to say
My mind wants to sail ahead while my heart wants to rest at bay

Sometimes life rips me apart & then I feel
How can this happen with me ,is this for real?
Is it true or is it just my worst fear?

But my mind says you’ve to face it ‘coz this is for real
you live in a world where there’s no mercy for the “dying”,my dear
Even if you fail , you’ve to learn to hide your tears
You have to keep on moving to be right there.

You may get tired , rest u mustn’t ,harder u have to strive
No time to smell the roses if u want to be “someone” in your life.
Till now u had just heard that glory road is tough
Now it’s ur time to tread & feel what this road is like.

But my heart asks me am I sure about what I want from my life?
Are money & fame the only things for which I want to survive?

In this berserk race from dawn to dusk haven’t I forgotten to be really alive?
Yes,I’ve long forgotten the chirping of birds & how that red rising sun looks like
Yes, It seems likes ages when I’ve been alone & felt nostalgic about home
with the sun down on the horizon & those trains passing by.
Yes, It seems like eons when I’ve been to a river & swam my heart out only to get tired

Time is now slipping out of my hands as moments just pass by
Still in a dilemma which of the “two lives” will let me drink the nectare of life
It’s still hazy & it’s still difficult to decide…

50 or Shady?

It's been the toast of discussion for rap fans all over the world who’s better –50 cent (Curtis Jackson) Or Eminem (Marshall Matthers) aka SlimShady aka Rabbit (nickname) . I’ve been following these discussions on communities ,web-mags & other rap sites but these who-rules-the-rap-world debates never end with a clear winner .So here’s my take on the Rap Ruler:.

Talking about 50 ,he himself works under Marshall’s Shady Records label .Although he got better offers from other production houses he chose to work for Shady Records ‘coz he knew that he’d be able to say whatever he wanted under Shady Records .Last year ,50 broke the record of the legendary rock ‘n’ roll band The Beatles for having max no of songs in top 50 at the same time on the Billboard .No doubt,he’s got a formidable fan following but I really feel his music sucks big-time.His rapping style is what I call sleepy-rap where he just keeps on droning without any voice variation with some busty babes giving him a great time. His lyrics is something very difficult to relate to .Even his biggest hits like P.I..M.P ,Candy shop don’t have that cuss which can make me listen to him again & again or even try learning his rapping style..

Now comes the Man-the man whose I’m the biggest fan ,a fan even bigger than Stan-Eminem.The best thing about his rap is it comes straight from his heart & something I can relate to. No wonder, in 2002 ,he was voted the 2nd most powerful celebrity on the earth .In each of his songs & in each of his lines u’ll see a reflection of evry feeling,emotion,thought which are buried inside evryone’s heart & mind . His frustrations, failures, pain,hope, dedication,journey-to-zenith are somethings which u can easily relate to .He has never hesitated to target whatsoever & whomsoever he doesn’t like .No wonder N-sync ,Christina Aug., MJ, Elvis, Tom Green, Mrs. Cheney, George Bush. among others have been at his receiving end .

For me,Shady is the uncrowned ruler of the Rap world & I m not saying that ‘coz I’m his die-hard fan but ‘coz his music & lyrics has something which liberates ur heart,mind & soul. No other rapper would have inspired & changed the lives of so many people (I being one !) around the world. Marshall has done that.

Hail Eminem!!

THINK IT OVER!
“You can do anything u set your mind to ,man”- EMINEM

Call me a So-called Engineer!!

Well , it’s 3 in the night .Now that may seem pretty too-late-to-be-awake to you but seems like everyone in the hostel is wide awake & having a great time. Some rooms are thundering with voices booming outta their 5000 watt speakers(seems like these guys want to blow off this hostel !) ,a few are out on their bikes while some of us are busy misusing the Internet .After all, today our mid-sem exams got over.
As I pass-out from this college,time & again , I ask myself “ Can I really call myself an engineer ?” What an engineer have I become? What have I learnt during these 4 yrs? A little personal background will let u know what does being an engineer means to me . I belong to a family where every other person is in the armed forces..My dad & my own Chacha being in the Para Commandos(Special Forces) .Others are in Artillery regmts ,Garwhal Rifles, NSG, BSF,CRPF, ITBF & God know which all other forces . I don’t know why I wanted to do engineering but as I reached 7 or 8 th std-when one starts knowing about careers options- one thing I was damn sure about was that if I’ll do something that “something” has to be this thing i.e. Engg & that too from a good college .Thanx to Discovery channel, I started over-estimating my future capabilities as an engineer. All those robo wars, microchips,space shuttles used to leave me absolutely fascinated . Fortunately (& unfortunately too!!) I landed up doing engineering .Now, whenever I go home , my dad & my relatives who just have a vague idea about engg. ask me one question - the answer to which I still haven’t figured out in all these four years :”Ok! beta Tell me you are an Electronics engineer, so what can you design, what all things can you make” & I reply with the same I-still-don’t-know expressions on my face “Well, I can design….”..& there I’m ,never able to complete my sentence .Sounds funny? Yea ,it is.After that, from somehow I make up an answer & say “ Actually we learn theory in the college & apply it in the industry.” Whereas the truth is whatever we are learning will go down the drain if we join the software industry-which almost all of us are gonna do. Well , what real knowledge have we gained studying in a premier engg college of India ?
In this sem, I’ve subjects with names which may leave u in awe like Artificial Intelligence, MIS(Mgmt Information Systems) etc. but how much did I study for these exams ?. On an avg just a total of 5-6 hrs for each of the subjects. No , not 5 hrs/day but only 5 hrs before the exam day.Now as my 4 yrs in this college come to an end,I’m still wondering if I can actually make something. Robots & chips have become things I’ve become quite allergic with & the truth is that I don’t know even the basics. of Robotics .Well, all this is coming out from the mouth of a guy who ‘s soon gonna be awarded a prestigious B.Tech(Hons.) degree from one of the top ranking engg. colleges-National Institute of Technology,Jamshedpur ( I wrote the full form to remind myself that I’m studying in a top-ranking engg. college,alas,I’d long forgotton this!!) .We all have made studies a big joke here .Haven't we?
But should I blame myself who could have learnt something but didn’t even try doing that ? Most of we poor souls fall under this category .Don’t we ?
Or the “system” which drifted away the interest of a onetime book-worm(now dat’s embarrassing confession!! )from studies to things which don’t have even remote connection with studies ?
I don’t know whether this college made me a good engineer or not but on the bang of a fist I can say that it has fully prepared me to face any situation in life & now we can live in any type of condition anywhere on the earth. I guess ppl passing out from here wouldn’t have any difficulty coping up with life even in an African country( no pun intended.haha)

Cheers!!

HOWLING HOWLERS

English is a pretty funny language.I know u’ve heard it a thousand times & now it’s just an another cliché.Right. More often than not ,we make it even more funnier. The truth is however hard we may try, whatever be our comfort levels with this language it’s not the mother tongue for a majority of us( my friend ‘firang’ being in that thin minority) & we all(including that ‘firang’ friend of mine) do commit mistakes .Don’t we?Maybe you don’t but I do & whether the other person notices it or not I instantly realize that I’ve made a mistake & that leaves me pretty embarrassed. Yes! it does leave me embarrassed but I try to make sure that next time I don’t goof up the words..

Now , I’ve this spit-it-out-on-your-face attitude for which I’m notorious ( can’t help it anyway).So please guys, if u are reading this write-up & u are the one of those persons who ‘ve made the mistakes mentioned below I apologise(although insincerely ) for making it public.

Recently,I was interviewing my junior folks in the college for selecting them in the Sponsorship committee for our college fest which is now round the corner.I came across one particular guy who,believe me, gave me the laugh of my life.So there we were:

“Do you listen to music? “
“ Yes ,Sir”

“ English or Hindi”
“Both”

“So which all bands do you listen to in English?”

The chap stares at me as though I’ve asked something too personal to feel offended then he replies

“I like Linking PAARAK & BHENGABOYS”

“Wat? I didn’t get you.”
“Sir,Linking PAARAK & BHENGABOYS”

“You mean Linkin Park & Vengaboys”
“Ji, Ji”

“So which all songs of LP do you like?”

Looks up at the ceiling as though he has lost his memory his memory in an accident & is now trying to recall his name.

“Sir, I’m not knowing the names but I’m hearing the songs in the hostel.I like them”

“& wat about your BHENGABOYS”

This time he replies back in a jiffy.

“BRAAJIL”

After the poor soul had gone, I who loves playing the devil’s advocate burst out laughing.

Sometimes I do get to see some equally funny & interesting profiles of people on Orkut, which is spreading faster than a wildfire among Gen-X. See for yourself

About me: I’m a cool,calm & COMPOSING guy.

About me:I’m a 21 yr old guy with a Nice Figure .

About me:I’m still trying to Figuring it out.. .

Perfect match: Hrithik Roshan man he’s Flattering.

Interests:I’m a shooter.I go hunting for friends with my birds.

Ok! The last one would definitely have been an inadvertent mistake but about rest I can’t say the same & the funny thing is that I keep visiting their profiles to check whether they’ve corrected those howlers or not but ,dude, they are still safely hanging on there .

& yea about the howlers I commit.They are ,in fact, so numerous(one being in the last sentence itself!!) that I don’t even remember one.So what I’m trying to say ( to you as well as to myself) is that Ok! If you’ve learnt something new ,use it.but just because you’ve learnt it doesn’t mean that you HAVE to use it ,” Niece figure” instance being a case in point & it’s better to let others know what you really know rather than just pretending to know what you don’t .”Bhengaboys & LP” instance being the case in point.

Yea,I’m sure your razor sharp minds would’ve definitely noticed the howlers in this write-up itself.Drop in your comments if you’ve & also plz feel free to share some other howlers even if they are too embarrassing for you or maybe for me :).

Cheers!!!
