I am loving it !

What is it about these pics that i love them??

                                          

I guess its the "Biking Spirit"....no more adjectives required

A lil senti...but i can't help :P

New year...New beginnings...New hopes...
This is a new year on which i am the most happiest for which I have countless reasons.The topmost one being that bro cleared the SSB, the medicals and got his name in the All-India merit list....to finally join the Indian Airforce.So today we went to see him off at IGI.It means i won't be able to see him for the next 6 months.And the disappointing part is that...no cellphones are allowed there..so a complete cut-off with him.We have been enjoying at home since he was back after completing his engg last year followed by a 2 month job.
But still...today i felt like talking to you for a lil more time...laughing together...mimicking together...having fun together...for a lil more time.....

Even if i said 'Tu toh chup hi reh' but i looked up to you for all advice-professional and personal...
Even if i always kept shouting at you for various reasons but i liked your amazing fundas for every situation...
Even if i kept fighting with you over the tv remote but i liked to watch espn with you and enjoy your hilarious punjabi commentory...
Even if we always kept arguing but our views always matched in the end,and then we fought over "who started it??"
Even if ever i felt low, listening to your songs cheered up everything...
Even if i never left you a scrap(dint felt the need to), i can't help visiting your profile over and over again...and listening to your song...
Even if i used to get irritated by thousands of names you called me by but now i long to be called those...

I will achieve what you always expected me to...
But I will miss you loads...
6 months are seeming like 6 decades...

There is an unusual silence at home today.but aadat pad jayegi dheere dheere...

I pray...for you to bring out the best in you...

Keep shining !!!

Awaiting you dear :)

college tour to nainital

The news was in the air since a week but..."Bete I'm sorry", the active HOD had told us (Because our HOD who suffers from Acute Indecisiveness and apathy, was on leave, perhaps on a vacation with biwi n kids).But our hardwork n perseverance finally paid...(If i went on to describe the term "hardwork" here, it would take 3-4 blogposts ;) Phew!finally, we were going and the venue decided was Nainital (but there was still that "doubt ka keeda" till we sat in the bus at midnight.)
Then came the night of departure.All set.Unending advice from mom and dad. Happiness on bro's face...shukar hai rab da kuchh din di rahat milegi...
The bus as expected was late but it was late beyond imagination.Scene at home(11:35 p.m.) -
Worried expression on mom's face.Dad was cool.Bro was loosing patience.

Bro: bas bohot ho gya tera...chal ab dafa ho jaa
Those two hours of endless wait...sara balance udd gya do ghanto mein...
me: abe kahan ho yaar?
Friend on phone: bas 15 min mein pohoch rahe hain.
me:2 ghante ho gye, abhi tak tu 15 min mein hi aa raha hai?
Friend:  #*&%^&#
me: ok ok pohochne se 5 min pehle missed maar diyo
Bro: Nikal jaa ghar se


Then late at night, we boarded the bus and headed to the destination.As expected, the journey was far more fun than the destination itself.All that excitement didn't let anyone sleep...everyone cheering, shouting n all...endless sessions of games..n..songs..not for a nanosecond, did silence prevail.

We didn't know when it dawned.The view was breathtaking....the sun painting the sky with strokes of red.(None of us is normally awake so early.)
After having a light breakfast on the way, our energy levels stabilized and then i took a nap.It was then that the length of the journey came to our notice.

By noon we reached bhimtal, all tired by the journey, where we stayed at Seahawk.

After lunch, we went out to have a look at Bhimtal lake.The real spots were due for the next day.

Came the much-awaited next day.Early in the morning we reached Nainital.

In the little time we had, we tried to explore as many places we could...to name a few...Cave Garden, G.B.Pant zoo, Mango lake,Tibetan market, snow view, St. John church,a masjid, a gurudwara, Naina Devi Temple...beautiful

                                                                                                 Tibetan market

                                                                                          Naina Devi Temple

                                                                                                          Naini lake

                                                                         Nainital lake

                                                                                          a pheasant at the zoo

We should do a little research before visiting a place...
A friend had told "Don't dare to miss the Governor House."
So me and 3 of my friends went there walking nearly 5 kms.We were cursing the governor  to have built his residence so far.But we were happy that the hardwork will be worth it.All drained of energy but with loads of excitement still in us, we reached there, to find that the Governor is in for stay! :(  This snatched away all the enthusiasm.On the way, we had asked a dozen people about it.Everyone praised but nobody cared to tell us that visitors are not allowed till a week.
Anyway, we returned to the resort late evening where the DJ was awaiting us.Later, we relaxed at the bonfire with steaming cups of coffee,in the chilly night.
I wrote this all for i wanted to capture every bit of it :)

life these days

i had been planning as hell to write a post (same way as i plan daily to study...kal se pakka!)but time wouldn't let me.reminds me of the lyrics of purani jeans-vo karna planning roz nayi yaar...nice song.

Instead of time i shud have used the term-assignments...engineers ka aadha dimag assignments banane me hi jal jata hai aur baki ka aadha....mba k sapne lene mein...

Anyway,dint go to college today.was not feeling well.so,finally got a chance to post something.yay :) (getting ill was not that bad) Moreover,had a test today,that too my fav subjct IF...ok lets leev this part...(or my bro wud accuse me of takin a leave purposefully ;)

There are more reasons to b happy today...most imp one being that bhai came out as a university topper(now he has a reason to shout at me for not studin...n i may hav to hear that bhai-se-kuchh-seekho stuff) All cheerful scene at home.But we dint have that customary hindi movie scene:

"Maa main first class first pass ho gaya hu"    followed by the jug jug jiyo beta

"Khade khade muh kya dekh rahe ho, jaao, ab to sab ka muh meetha karna hai."
"Parameswar ki kripa hai, masterjee"

here's a dose of typical filmy masala with south-indian chutney....watch till d end

(aaargghhh...uploading here takes lots of time)

Heard that really-breaking news about Giancarlo Fisichella finally givin Force India their first ever points in Formula 1 on their 30th attempt ??

jhatka!!! i know...sabko laga tha..most people dint even know that india had a F1 team!

I wish i had a 'real' money plant in my backyard coz m planning to buy this.again planning:D but things are deceiving sometimes.

i realised very early that putting a calvin-n-hobbes strip in every post is not gonna make it intersting...so m on the hunt for more masala and more audience as the blog is in its formative years rite now...

right now m reading sonal kalra's sunday column in ht...i find her article calming yet amusing...kya likhti hai boss...every1 relates to it.

And 'kite runner' is my nxt target

And today is Gurupurab( Guru granth sahib's ).Wish u all a very happy gurupurab :)

n belated happy Ganesh chaturthi too.
