Life!!!

Life changes a lot!!...whether its for better or worse depends on how one thinks about it...wanted to write this post really badly or rather quickly as i have seen numerous ideas and/or topics go down the drain as the enthusiasm to write them decreases exponentially with time....so finally i am back to Hyderabad....! it feels great :) after four long months!!.I was in hyd during the Mid Sem break in October but at that time it was all traveling here and there to various places in Coastal Andhra Pradesh it was awesome (check out orkut album for Proof!! :D ) but it did not let me stay in Hyd for too long and most of that time was spent in taking rest and packing luggages!! Finally after Many years i got up at 5 :45 am!! which was never the case in Roorkee unless you had a Yoga camp where you were literally dragged to give it the finishing touches ;) that too was around 6 30 in the morning when "someone" ( whom you ought to listen to ) calls you....Firstly i was shocked with the number of people on the roads at 6 15 in the morning...there was considerable amount of traffic and many people seemed to be in a hurry......once you entered the gullies then you could see people jogging and at the end of it all i was to attend a class..after the class (which was really disheartening) i had two options one was the quicker option by boarding an auto go quickly or walk about 1.5 kms to the nearest bus stop....i preferred the latter...and boy did i make a right decision!!..the hustle and bustle...small kids at their cutest best in their school dresses and children waiting for their school buses.....the cool winter breeze (which you can enjoy unlike the one in Roorkee),gender equality on the roads and to top it all of 5 radio stations to listen to and if one gets bored of them (which rarely is the case) about 300 of my fav. songs.....to travel in the RTC bus again and the long walk back home...and to realise that you have nothing to do at home apart from lazing around and yes of course delicious food cooked by mom waiting for you!!! Life couldn't get any better!!! :) and as someone said life is about enjoying small things and being satisfied rather than something materialistic....!..most of these things are missed at Roorkee....the food,those walks on the road,the radio stations and the constant feeling that you should not be doing this right now or that would be a better thing to do types of things to name a few....and as i mentioned in the beginning it is how one looks at the things which happen to them....
so an interesting question arises......
What positives do i take from Roorkee ?? :P

P.S.: Thank you Roorkee for making me realise being a Photographer,Radio Jockey,Hair Stylist,Journalist,Cook and even a Teacher are better options than being an Engineer !! :D

P.P.S: Couldn't elaborate on some things as the post was getting a bit too long ...you may contact me for any clarifications :)

A tribute

Yes you read it right this post is a tribute .....a tribute to my laziness...my last post was nearly 13 months ago!!!....this itself is a testimony of my laziness I guess.... :D ....when I first started blogging way back in 2006 august I thought about sooo many things and wanted to write about loads and loads of stuff thoughts, emotions, feelings, etc etc running through my head.....but the dream was short lived....as I have a look at my dash board I see a draft.....which was lying there for over a year....many times I had a look at it and wanted to complete it but............I did not.. :| ... that post was supposed to be on north India and my hatred towards it!!...but times have changed and so have I....that post would be completely irrelevant now....during the past year this place has become from something similar to that of a place where I was forced to live to one where I love living!! :) ..and during the last year or so I've read so many blogs…right from those in which people expressed themselves to those which were meant for advertisements…these days almost everyone has a blog and I was awestruck by their sheer number and varieties….as I am writing this I get the feeling that someone somewhere might have written something similar to this one!!!thats the beauty in blogging!! :D(even if you say its original ppl say that i have read it somewhere or the other...they say its a farzi post... :|...hopefully "isko farzi post nahi kahenge" :) ) ……my dictionary on firefox does not recognize blog and even blogging for that sake as legitimate words….even after blogging is the in thing to do these days…!!!!!... I guess I am richer with the experience of reading all those blogs (of my friends and also the “next blog” ones! ) which will help me publish more frequently and make better posts….( Giving a positive outlook to my laziness ;) )……All the things above I had written in the afternoon and now its past 11pm…..see I am taking so much time to publish an almost completed blog also……..maybe I have to listen to my friends who say “Sudhar ja saale..”……about my laziness……lets hope I continue publishing posts at a normal speed…..or lets hope that I’ll blog as much as I speak :D…..(for those who do not know me I speak a lot!!! ;) )…Hopefully this is a beginning ( 2nd one!:D) to a regular habit of blogging!!!

Aloo.............

After a summer vacation of about 75 days i came back to roorkee...the train journey from hyderabad to delhi was good but from delhi to roorkee the train was crowded and no one cares to check the tickets and people sit where ever they want......and it was also kawad season....so it was even more crowded....after getting down quickly at the roorkee railway station (as the train halts for a couple of minutes only)and taking a rickshaw to rajendra bhawan...i was in deep thought thinking about what they were going to serve today in mess....thinking about the mess the first thing to strike my mind was...ALOO.....before coming to iit roorkee i never though that many varieties can be made out of aloo...whenever i go home my mom asks me what to cook i say "anything but aloo".....i used to like aloo a lot....it was one of my favourite...i used to like aloo fry a lot.....now i realise that i didnt ask my mom to make it that often coz it had aloo in it....the first day when i went to the mess to eat dinner i was hoping against hope that there would be no aloo....but to my utter disappointment there it was......huge aloo pieces in some orangish gravy(refer to pic above)
.....i had no other option but to put it in my plate along with 2 different varieties of dals and there was something special that day too a fried karela.....yes u read it right a fried karela.....
first they put some stuffing into it and then dipped it in some paste(mixture of water and some flour)and then deep fried in oil.....once i had visited the great kitchen of our mess......dat night i could not sleep....everything was so filthy and crude....dey did not hav the cutting edge technology in the messes atleast......they tell they have it in their departments don't know about that but definitely not in the messes....having eatin another meal of aloo n chapati i walk back to my room thinking what will be my situation at the end of four yrs of aloo diet.....???will i ever want to eat aloo again???if the messes in iit roorkee r supposed to be the best among all iits then what is the situation of people in other iits?????....and will i be able to sleep tonite with all these thoughts in my head.......?????T
his is my first blog s ppl plz giv me some advice and after reading it plzzzzz comment and tell me how i can make it better.........

finally...

There r so many thoughts in my mind and i wanted to expresss them in my blog.....created this in jan 2006....but did not do anything productive on this...so now finally i've written something on it....that is why i am happy.....this shows how lazy i am......hope i will keep blogging regularly....
