A f f i N I T I E ...!

43 distinguished years.. 3 serene lakes (still don't know which is the third one ).. 3 months spent here.. 3 tough papers in the module exams.. and 3 seconds before i end this worthless paragraph.. :O

Its been almost 100 days since I've come to this place and as some of you might be wondering why i haven't written what i do or have been doing all these days.. things really have moved at the pace of a 20-20 match and had my first sore finger in years cos of 1 week of physical torture called module exams.. :( The invigilator kept offering me additionals... but then everyone who wears spects and looks studious does not take 2 additionals :D

Apart from watching a zillion episodes of many series... i also tried my hand at playing football.. and playing in the rain was always a sure shot happening :) but as the ground was not maintained (thankfully it is now) there was waist high grass and for onlookers it looked like we were a herd of wild buffaloes migrating across the Serengeti.. i.e, while we chased the ball on the ground in the thick grass..

There were 2 freshers parties.. the second one was a return one.. but in both case Pareto's law worked brilliantly.. 20% of the ppl consumed 80% of the alcohol..! and ya in both cases the DJ was 4 degrees below pathetic :( .food vanished by the time the 3rd song finished.. :O

Talking of food... well there are 2 types of ppl in NITIE.. ppl who feel the mess food is bad.. and ppl who feel the food is very bad.. needless to say, the day food is good, people are generally in a good mood.. even if India lost a match due to bad umpiring decisions..

Few of the best moments at my stay in NITIE have come in front of the TV.. the T20 worldcup. the entire viewing lounge (that means 4 beds with mattresses gifted by Tipu sultan and that have not been dusted since..) would be filled with ppl irrespective of exams.. interviews. watever .. and we would collectively cheer,abuse.. celebrate, sulk... and destroy.!! we broke 2 beds in the anxiety to celebrate India's victory... thankfully we have an inventory of beds at our floor.. :)

It finally stopped raining here.. and after numerous "i lost my umbrella complaints" it feels nice to have the sun on your back.. although it means that the hankie will always be wet from sweat :O.Haven't seen much of mumbai yet.. except the most frequently used word in NITIE "Hiranandani"... well actually the most frequently used word here is the 4 lettered 'F' word...

Relax ppl... u judge me too fast... i meant "FART".. :P anyways, that was a leaf outta the book titled "My stay at NITIE". Will keep you posted with latest happenings in and around this place.. but the bottom line, its been fun to be a part of this commuNITIE.. :)




PS: NITIE has one of the most deadly roads leading to it.. and you might encounter roughly 23 cattle of different sizes,colours on the way... Holy cow! this place rocks.. :D

The Reluctant lyricist - chronicles of the Insane..

After a self imposed hiatus due to my inability to maintain a work life balance , i am back to doing wat i really like.. writing crap and spamming ppl's mailboxes to read it :) So here i am being a reluctant lyricist to satisfy the gulzar in me... Apart from a few aberrations like himesh reshamiyya, altaf raja, anu malik (non-filmi) and their kin.. hindi music has been pretty enjoyable over the last few decades.. well that just made me sound like someone who has been listening to hindi music since the 1970's .. but my knowledge is limited to as i said the blips in the last 10 years or so. I was just thinking if i can dwell on some hindi songs with a twist .. the twist being the added knowledge about good old hyderabadi lingo :) as navjot sidhu would say, u can remove anup from hyderabad.. but u can't remove hyderabad from anup ..! (sigh) Following is a refresher course on commonly used/abused words in hyderabad and their marriage with some chart busters wherever i can.

Mera Bharat MyHorn..!!

Just when you thought i disappeared from the face of the most populous city of the second most populous country of the most populated planet... here i am.. back to college after a 2 month ' weight loss ' program called summer internship! ( 4hrs of traveling in the sweltering heat and you d agree with me) Being one of the lucky ones to have been to 5 of the 6 metros (Somehow never got a chance to go to BANDHladesh ... Kolkata for the uninitiated) i thought it would be fun to compare the road manners across the ones ive have lived in sufficiently and have had the privilege to experience : Hyderabad, Bengalooru and Mumbai . Congestion on roads is a common thread that connects all these cities.. but all the misery is to end soon .. what with the Bengalooru,Hyderabad and Mumbai metros coming up within no time.. just another 11-13 yrs ! But you never know.. the mumbai metro with a super charged Anil Ambani could be completed a few days before schedule and may be we can have

The Curious Case of Indian Graffiti....

The thing with Indian graffiti is that in most cases only the guy who writes it can make out what it is and have a good laugh about it.. cos either his handwriting would be a graphologist's nightmare or it would give the creators of spell check a massive heart attack.. over the years ive seen things written on,in,below,between,along,above.. using up every possible centimeter available of various canvasses from restrooms,to trees.. to UNESCO world heritage sites! and the all time favorite Indian graffiti muse.. " the public transport ". But the thing that struck me most was the passion with which they do it, so much effort.. chiseling on sandstone or concrete is not easy... Although you would have seen a thousand examples of this dying art.. some of them just stay with you, either for their stupidity or uniqueness.. below are some of them that most of you might have seen.. but lets revisit to see if they were Write or wrong ! Fast fact : Most of the graffiti is bas
