Testimonial from Orkut..

XXXXXX XXXXXXX ... the name used to spell awe and terror once upon a time. It still does. Seldom before would God have created such a terrific mix of talent, passion, attitude, genius, idiosyncracy and sadism. The guy with an expert opinion and deep knowledge on almost everything under the sun - be it table tennis or be it kurosawa movies, be it freud or be it kafka. This man taught me so much about life. He is a loyal friend but beware of his hacking skills. For 4 years, he hacked the email account of each n every girl in IIT and provided us with unforgettable moments of cheap fun. He is the guy if you want to go to canteen at 3 in the night, or if you want to share your sorrows over whiskey and jagjit singh ghazals, or if you want to rag the freshers. I would still say, I understand hardly 40-50% of him. He continues to be a mystery. We had lots of fun in Inter IIT sports meets - abusing other IITs, eveteasing the girls of other IITs and what not. Is photo mein surprisingly kaafi innocent lag raha hai.lagta hai apne ghar mein papa ke bagal mein baith ke khinchwaayi hai. I cannot forget mentioning his organizational skills. He knows how to get people behind him, how to inspire the masses. I have seen him working like mad in inter-hostel events. Ladkiyaan thoda saawdhaan rahen toh behtar hoga. Waise suna hai ki ab thode sudher gaye hain janaab. Aajkal this dude is busy planning something big in life ... I hope you make it big, mate. And yes, the smell will always remain :)

Could not let this just get deleted... Thanks Dost...

Can life teach?

It actually began, quite reluctantly. Unnecessary as it may seem, life teaches you what you allow it to teach. Even Life cannot teach you what it offers you. One has to let himself dissolve into the experience and let it sink in, and that I might call religion or education. Whatever the other person is willing to accept. Nay. Does it matter? Nay. Life is about teaching oneself. Being a self-thought-taught "person", picking up bits and pieces from various experiences, I tread on a path; I have myself laid out for myself. Never have I asked, in other words, begged for words, from "messiahs". Never did I think myself of having enough virtue, call it patience, to learn from others. So "rich" were my experiences. Things change, dynamically. Responding to an open question, throwing caution to the winds, I immersed myself into a debate, with people who thought, had streamlined their thinking apparatus and abilities. Gradually, they pestered; read "lee...

Can you hear me?

When the last tree has fallen, When the last drops of water are polluted, When the last bird ceases to sing, Will “they” realize that money cannot be eaten. Reading these somewhat crazy lines, I was joyous, at being finally able to have convinced myself, that this human race has faintest of hopes of living out the new century. I had been troubled for a pretty long time at, what seems to me, a race to extinction. I am an educated, liberal and informed individual. Having been educated at the best of the institutions, I developed a deep admiration for Mother Nature and her so “wily” ways. Listening to my Guru and his talks on “biomimetic” methods, I sensed a deep concern in him. Of late, all he talked of was “Green” Chemistry. I connect to people, people my age and people “not” my age, irrespective of who and what they are, thanks to my rootless upbringing. I used to be appalled at how short sighted “genuinely” gifted men can be. Talks of Dollar salaries, Ivy League scholarsh...

The void...

I feel empty. I feel raw. I feel rotten. I feel like not feeling. I have nothing to show, if someone to ask me about what I have achieved in my stay on this planet. Nothing. what is a few flirtations with literature, knowledge, pain and sweat. No blood. No tears. No medallions. No gallantry. Ah! I am disgusted with myself for being so ordinary. I deserve the void for I do not work half as hard as I could. I am wasting my life.
