I wanna be a rockstar!!! :P

Just returned from d FDFS of Rock On.. d final scene is still on my mind.. d concert. It never lukd for a single while dat I was watchin actors at work. The pure euphoria n electricity generated by dos songs.. for me its one of d best endings in Bolly flicks.. n yes I liked dis ending more dan dat of Jaane Tu :P

The film does hav its cliche moments.. like wen d band breaks up due to a tiff between its main performers.. den dey get back 2gethr, tiffs 4gotten.. d struggles, d losing of self-expression, d cancer stricken band member.. n wen ur watchin ne movie wid frnds.. u tend 2 poke fun at evn d tiniest of flaws.

But still, its a feel good film. The music is breezy, casual.. well i tend 2 like nethin dat begins wid d strumming of a guitar :) .. but still.. im sure ALL d songs i heard today will be playin at rock concerts in d future. At d end of d day.. d movie DOES make u feel like you wanna be a rockstar too. To me dats its biggest achievement.

If not des factors, watch it for Farhan.. d guy aint an actor, nor a director.. he's a rockstar. Bottomline: Rock On rocks!

When i go crazy...

I was at d police station today.
At d passport details verification cell of d police stn.. to be specific. Hehe
Neways.. after 2 gruelling tests in d mornin (each 30 n 10 marks resp.. 2 be reduced to 2.5.. yeah, beat dat) I could hv nodded off to sleep as d officer leisurely went thru d stack o documents. But den my mind started wanderin, as usual. And soon.. I came up wid.. my masterpiece!!! D best, most exceptional piece of writing I hv ever written!!! N dis is dedicated to my close pals coz only dey mite find it hilarious (provided dey spot wats special abt d poem).. othrs wud thnk I've lost it. So widout further delay..

"Oh what a beautiful morning!!
Oh what a glorious day
The sun was bright n blazing!!
But den it started to rain

All my hopes wer shattered
I'd wanted to fly a kite
Now I was totally drenched
My hands felt like ice

I sought refuge in d forest
Slept under a thicket of trees
Dreamt abt flying cats n dogs
N giant dragons n bumblebees

I was a princess in a magical land
Whoever saw me said i lukd nice
Whatever i touched turned to gold
The hue reminded me of fries"

Due to lack of further time n imagination.. dis poem stands incomplete. So feel free to contribute in our exclusive jargon to.. my masterpiece!!!
:P

A not-so-new day

Since its been a week since coll started (or rather since I started attendin) lemme describe a typical day in d life of a VJTIan. Mind you, im talkin abt 3rd or 4th yrs here. 1st n 2nd yrs r busy attendin lectures.. wen dey do take place.

U enter coll at arnd 11 coz nuthin EVER starts at 9.. n ur bound to chance upon a frnd in d quad or d canteen. Soon ppl start joinin in n u end up havin a noisy GD.. wich mostly centers arnd d folllowin topics - d latest movies, d kinda teachers u hav, n how/why ur dept sucks. :P

Sum students (I wana refrain frm takin names of students or branches, so I'l generalize) play notebook-n-paperball cricket in d cls.. durin d lec. While others bunk to play proper cricket at 5 gardens. Wen u do atend a lec, u make sure 2 sit as far behind as poss, to avoid bein caught readin a book or copyin assignments.Labs r a dismal scene as der r hardly ne comps/apparatus dat work. So 10 ppl end up sharin d same table.. n yes, d GD continues.

The only time ppl r ACTUALLY stressed out abt lects, labs n the i-change-till-d-last-minute syllabus is at d time of submissions. Its a hugely grinnable (i knw dat not a word) sight, for sum1 who's out of it. Its also a time wen ur exam pprs get lost, n ur stapler now belongs to d entire class. But more abt submissions in anothr article.

Its considered an achievement if u come 2 college n even attend a lecture.. eithr coz dey hardly occur or bcoz dey're not of much help. So at d end of d day.. attendin college is just for meetin up wid ur frnds. So evn wid d lack of attainment of academic knwledge (did I just say dat?? :P) college has become not only a fun but vital part of r lives. Now time to end dis post else I'l be late for d same routine 2moro.

Cya!

For starters

Let me start by sayin im a skeptic wen it comes to blogging. Cause Im not sure how seriously ppl take dem. U could say u dont care abt others, n dat a blog's just like a personal diary for ya. But d truth is dat u do.. else u wouldnt put up ur thoughts wer everyone can read em. Most blogs des days r either gossip columns (dis aint E!, ppl).. or the daily news. Or stuff u've seen, read or heard b4. Its very hard to maintain ur individuality in dis blogosphere.. n dis is just an attempt at doin dat :)

Im an animal lover.. I feed d strays in my lane wenevr I get d time. It pains me to see stray dogs or cats suffer.. n wat pains me more is d BMC move to kill stray dogs.. n if u feel d same sign dis form asap.

I dont knw how effective it is, but its a start.

Time to talk abt my other passion.. poetry! I write wen im too bored wid d monotony arnd me n yet der r a million thoughts runnin thru my mind. Here's one of d verses I've scribbled in d recent past...

"Unsteady are my feet as they tread
Upon the vanishing path ahead
My mind speeding, my heart sore
Where have I read this before…

Horizon darkened by suspicious cloud
Cheery waves form a firm shroud
Over imprints of a once-cherished tale of yore
When have I seen this before…

Incessant buzzing in my head
Sirens resounding in the air
Deadlines to be met; resolutions to be kept
Fervent prayers galore
Why have I heard this before…

Call it a reverie or a premonition
Or simply a fragment of my imagination
Is time fleeting or standing still?
Will I do as I should or as I will?
Change is presumed as the only constant
Yet life assumes a predictable pattern
Occur, did it now, or ages before
If it happens again, then I’ll be sure…"

P.S: I like writin abstract stuff :P

I also absolutely completely uncontrollably adore music, be it indian, western, classical, rock et all.. wid d exception of metal, I guess. Nothing would please me more than bein cooped up in a recording studio all day, provided der r tea breaks. Im just waitin for d time wen I'l hav all d time in d world.. to sing, to learn a musical instrument.. basically pursue my love for music in a constructive way.

There's so much to do.. n so little time. But if a single issue has been on my mind for way too long, ur bound to read abt dat in here. Until den.. sayonara!
