Back with a barely audible fizzling noise.

I know, it's been a while, but I doubt any of you were holding your breath, if, indeed, this is even being read. Anyway, If you were holding your breath, may ye rest in peace.

After that delightful segway into a new article, allow me to give you some pointless information about the goings- on in my life that you probably don't give a damn about, but will read anyway, assuming of course that the only people reading this are my friends, who're just being polite and/or supportive.

My two- year stay at SIMS, Pune, begins soon, from where I will be doing my MBA. But that is completely irrelevant. SIMS has apparently gained fame, or rather infamy, for it's rigorous student orientation pogrom- sorry, program, organised and conducted by our seniors. The program involves a carefully planned process of physical and mental torment, which will build our respective characters up to the point where we will be able to inflict the same upon our juniors, sans guilt.

Before I go on to crib about it further, take a look at the schedule posted on facebook by one of the student council members:

Ok..Juniors.. as most of you must be wondering what's gonna happen in the ORIENTATION... here's what your normal day will be like...
ORIENTATION TIME TABLE FOR THE DAY:
4:00 AM : Good morning, Wake up time
4:30 AM-5:30 AM: Morning JOG(cannot be missed)
5:30 AM-6:30 AM: Morning Exercise
6:30 AM-7:30 AM: YOGA
7:30 AM-8:OO AM: FRESHEN UP n BREAKFAST
8:00 AM-11:00 AM: SESSION1(Academic Subj)
11:00 AM-2:00 PM: SESSION2(Academic Subj)
2:00 PM-2:15 PM: LUNCH
2:15 PM-4:15 PM: ASSIGNMENT1(Presentation)
4:15 PM-6:15 PM: ASSIGNMENT2(Projects)
6:15 PM-8:15 PM: AUDI SESSION1
8:15 PM-8:30 PM: DINNER
8:30 PM-10:30 PM: AUDI SESSION2(No its no late night movie going on)
10:30 PM-2.30 AM: HW CORRECTION SESSION(toughest of all)
2:30 AM-4:00 AM: SLEEP(or rather finish your next day's assignments if you
want a brighter next day)




Now, I have considered the possibility that this might merely be an attempt to frighten us hapless freshers, but alas, I know a couple of people who've passed out from SIMS, and to hear them tell it, it's pretty accurate.


And i'm more eager than apprehensive about the whole thing. After the last three years of doing absolutely nothing of value, and being a complete and utter waste of space, it thrills me to be presented with a challenge of some sort, more importantly, one that I can't talk my way out of. Hell, I don't even play video games without cheat codes. 


Also, this is the first time I'm going to be staying in a hostel for an extended period of time.


I can't wait!


And I'm sorry if you weren't expecting something like a diary entry. I promise my next post(if there is one) will be something as idiotic and random as befits my nature.


Thanks for reading, people.

Waiting for inspiration

Hey y'all. sorry for the delay, but I'm going to have to keep you waiting for a while longer. You see, i have a writer's block.

Now i know that that's kind of pathetic after only two short posts, but hey, sue me. So since a topic is conspicuous by its absence in this post, let me pick a random one and carry on about it for a while.

So I was in my college the other day, looking at all the people around me who were dressed as if they had come to attend a funeral(not in black, conservatively dressed).

Now, I don't quite see how comfortable clothing can affect someone's academic performance, but who am i to question the powers that be, even if they be making ridiculous dress codes?

As you may have guessed, i'm more of a casual dresser, and this image conveys perfectly my views on formals..

I cannot convey a feeling of revulsion better than this guy.

Well, thats all i can think of for now.. expect another post whenever i feel like it.

Ciao!

The ipod

Hello again, whoever you are. As everyone in my class knows, i lost my ipod a while ago in an accident and i was quite distraught for a while.. somehow the prospect of not being able to watch movies in OMT class was frankly terrifying, since said subject was boring enough to put a hyperactive 7 year old into a coma. But be that as it may, the incident made me realise how indispensable this gadget had become to me. I started wondering what would happen if i ran into a mugger one day with my ipod on and couldn't hear what he was saying..

obviously an exaggeration, but u know what i mean..

Anyway, the ipod's place was recently taken by the lowly t.sonic.850..

So i wondered if ipods convey subliminal messages into the user's minds, resulting in apple's monopoly over portable media..... imagine it.

Lose yourself in the music, the moment you own it(in the background, barely audible.... STEVE JOBS IS GOD!!) you better never let it go...

But demonic CEO aside, the ipod is a pretty nifty gadget.

Anyway a friend recently asked me why i don't watch those romantic bollywood movies..

i didn't give her a satisfactory reply, so here it is..

There is only one script for a bollywood movie and it was written several decades ago..

1. Rebellious youth falls in love with a girl from a rich family
2. Girl's dad is verry rich and powerful and verry evil and narrow minded.
3. Girl's evil dad gets pissed at rebellious youth's advances
4. Girl's evil dad gets his thugs to rough up Rebellious youth
5. Rebellious youth(who turns out to be a master in various forms of martial arts) beats up aforementioned thugs.
6. Girl's evil dad used a particularly underhanded technique( ie kidnapping Rebellious youth's family member) to gain the upper hand
7. Rebellious youth beats Girl's evil dad, saves family member, and gets the girl

Wondering what happened between the 6th and 7th steps? Its a mystery. But i do know that it involves various martial arts maneuvers, cliche' dialogues, and the Girl intervening with a dramatic 'Rukoooo!' at some point of time.

This script is flexible to no end. For example, the Rebellious guy can be extra rebellious. there is no end to how creative the story can be.

For the record, i did borrow the 'same script' idea from Scott Adams. Thanks, Scottie.

As always, constructive criticism is appreciated... No, that's a lie. Say this post is good, or else.. You know the guy from my first post? Enough said.

Later, homies.
