I ve always encouraged indian authors ergh..not directly jus by reading their books, that to in delhi paper backs, jai ho 2 piracy.a joker in the pack happens to be one f this kind .inspite of it being a small book, it took me more than ten holiday days to finish it . all thanks to the 13 page ,where i was stranded for more than eight days , thats the page when Mr shekar verma hooks a girl .wat s her name i forgot wait ill google it. yep, anoushka , c mon man i accept every book or film about college life a girlfriend s a mandatory commodity but i thought an IIM pass out would have thought of something different.After eight days of DEEP thought i came to a conclusion that love in college is possible only in films n books(ironically two of my frnds got tagged "commited" after i finished the book..) .
Believe me the book was so guessable . at first i thought Chetan Bhagwats five point someone was worst but sorry chetan u ve lost the spot 2 Neeraj Pahlajani and Ritesh Sharma. after reading it, i thought the book s been binded with the wrong cover , phew, i counldnt pick out even one instance when mr verma donned the costume of "joker in the pack" . then comes the 100th page when poor verma finds another guys pic with caption "my sweet heart " in "her" social networking profile hehe fck orkut & facebook .n the reason behind the break up was attributed to dwindling contact between the two, oh ya tata docomo was not there at their time . verma ji this is wat happens to a "page 13 hook up.." .
"joker in the pack"'s 13 th page hook up

"Black and white"-a short film
Well for the intra college culturals. the only event me n my frnds always watchout for is the short film making event. last time around the movie3218 was about a guy lossing his new cell phone(which is rampant in our hostel) and how the story unfold to find the culprit(thats me).it had many a pitfalls like improper dubbing(so this time v had no dialogues,gr8 alternative),poor picture quality(thanks to my cam) and disgusting location(our hostel..)
k leave the past come 2 present,this year after a brief brain storming it was decided that v do something about 26/11-national integration...see it for youself and comment on it.
the judges gave us the second prize(numerically speakin 1st ,as both the top teams got same scores)
well you cant find me in it as i din act in it.thanks to cup elango, for his special class which stopped me from doin a small role i was given in it.
for ppl who din read the credits properly here s a recap
Director :Anand Kumar
Actors:
Arjun(the guy who changes his suicide plans in beach after saving a guy in beach with flag in hand)
Sri Vishnu(the lanky boy who dies after jumping into the water to fetch the flag taken by the tides)
Ravishankar,Siddharth and Vignesh(the three other guys along with vishnu in the beach celebrating india s victory)

why is rajinikanth..."Rajinikanth"
how can i be tagged a tamilkaran without a single post tagged rajinikanth in my blog...
so here v go....
1.When Rajinikanth does pushup, he isnt lifting himself up, he s pushing the earth down..
2. Rajinikanth is so fast ,he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head..
3.The bermuda triangle was bermuda square before Rajinikanth kicked one of the corners of..
4.There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, Rajinikanth lives in Chennai...
5.Rajinikanth's every step creates a mini whirlwind, huricane Katrina was result of a morning jog..
6.If you google search "Rajinikanth getting kicked" you generate zero result.Its just doesnt happen.
7.Rajinikanth once ate an entire bottle of sleeping pills.They made him blink.
8.Outer space exists beacause its afraid to be on the same planet with Rajinikanth
9.Rajinikanth gave mona lisa that smile.
10.The only thing that runs faster and longer than Rajinikanth are his films...
11. 30 feet wall seperating Rajinikanth and the bad guy. how will he shoot him.. He has two guns? this is wat happens..
PS: ts Plagiarised . Fishes have Trawling ban... Human brain has Summer vacation.

Volvo ocean race...
Before i went 2 the volvo ocean race village in wellington island,Kochi. If u asked me wat that was i would have told u its auto major volvo s some exhibition 2 display its trucks, cars(courtesy:orkut albums of numerous friends). And they bought all these things via ship so ocean race.
Wateva, the truth is that volvo ocean race is
"Harnessing the natural elements of wind and wave power.Using every source of energy to the maximum.Always looking for the perfect sails and course to steer by.In order to push the boat forward more efficiently that the competitors.A good example to live by."
Anecdotes....
-They ve been racin every year since 2000-2001.
-Race spanning for a time period of 9 months.
-7 teams in their yachts battling against the odds to be the best.
-each team with 11 crew members.
-this is the 1st ever Asia stopover...Another feather in the cap of Kochi....
To begin with, the 7 teams started off from
Alicate(flagged of on oct 11'08),then
Capetown
Cochin(flagged of on 13th dec '08 )
Singapore
Quingdo
Ria Di Janiro
Boston
Galway
Gotemburgo
Estocolmo,Stockolm
St Petersburg(chequered flag expected on 25 june'09)
My pictures will speak the rest...




All yacht s lined up in wellington island...
Erricson 4 stood the 1st in leg 2 between Capetown and Kochi..
here are some intresting tag lines or "punch lines" (colloquially) that i clicked in race village...



At last amidst the exhibition of volvo trucks, passenger bus etc etc...
I saw this....
For those who din understand wat this is... These are moped clothes.. also a part of the exhibits.. i guess..
at last...

study holiday n "SOMEONE.."
one hydrogen atom smiling at another hydrogen atom 1 Astonomical unit away from the place u r readin this n then they fuse to form helium ,wow wats that???? nuclear fusion biddu..energy released->sun light s emitted n this takes 8 secs to reach room no 3218,birla hostel,MIT madras.
first rays woke me up, i saw my cellphone twas 6:03 behind that varanam ayirum surya(wall paper) was shouting "...engaluku early morning pathu mani..",then i don wat happened zwwing suddenly all i remember was the alarm ringing like mumbai blast ka gun shots on my ears n then woke up to realize twas 8 :30 . wondering whether getting up at 6 was a dream or reality.. rab janne.Still half asleep i jumped from the top of my double decker bed came out 2 the corridor, the view of the road connecting entrance n college was perfect
first year gals n of coarse some guys(who were invisible 2 me) were happy to be back in college it seems, after three day ordeal at home which would have turned into an island,thanks to Nisha. A German medicals new finding states that watching gals for 10 minutes a day will "reduce" the probability of a guy having heart attack by half...wow.. but poor things, ill bring them to my college they ll change that "reduce" to "increase." phew.. hehe.BUT but someone was an exception ya someone,mauve salwar black bag with a drafter. Suddenly a frnd of mine kept his hands on my shoulder n told "on munjiku idhu overa therlla...?""#^&$%%^",turned back she was outta my horizon.I was back to my senses, 80 hours from now they ll feed me into a Colosseum inside which there will be 10 small cubs after wining them over ill get 2 marks each, then big hungry lions(1 compulsory,others have option) which will fetch me 16 marks.So brushed ma teeth did all things i was ought 2 do, then left for the mess to see empty bowls the clock was reading 9:45 .Headed to canteen in my night pants itself,canteen was almost empty b coz all guys except 1st years had study holidays. Was sitting n having my dosa plaintively,juniors were trickling in for their break n someone was one among 'em yep the same someone,she went to the juice corner n i followed(a sheer coincidence).To heavens despair, all lecturers from my department came in, group was headed by my FA, oh gosh moral policing-never talk to gals-night pants-Hunger thirst everything ran away"Bagho bagho..."dropped the plan of havin the juice ran out,drizzling, n reached hostel.
twas 12 noon..
sat in ma table-took-the syllabus book noted down wat to study n started off, it was raining tigers n lions outside.. suddenly someone started spreading the rumour that the next exam is also postponed b coz all parts of madras s under water,gosh.The whole afternoon followed by the better part of dusk was filled with discussions about mumbai blast-torrential rains- exams rescheduling-NSG etc etc n very few studies.Night came- had my dinner, started studyin- power went off ,f**k it.Back to square one, now i understood the meaning off this message i got last day...
"Mozart made music under night lamp
Abraham Lincoln studied under street light
Picasso painted using lantern.......
what the hell were these guys doing in DAY TIME........?"
any guesses wat they did...
