Woooh...i am back from Bombay and nothing can compare the amazing feeling i have right now.As far as title of this blog goes,it means, No More Adventures Please (N.M.A.P).You must be wondering what exactly happened on my Bombay trip.Lots of things actually.
I ll start with the train journey from pune to bombay. I took a ticket for second class and guessed it shall suffice for a reserved seat only to be proved wrong by the TT. Luckily though, the TT was kind enough to provide me and my friend with a seat at a nominal additional price of 30 rupees. Now the thing is our luck seemed to desert us here.
We experienced Mumbai local's rush hour first hand plus the delays cuz of some freak accident. After reaching our destination we searched for an hour,but sadly couldn't find a decent hotel. One place we went to was a 2 room shady apartment managed by a lady who seemed more like a pimp than a hotel manager. And next thing you know we were running out of that place at break neck speeds.
After trying every maneuver in the book to find a place to spend the night, we finally called our trusted senior "joy" who stayed 30 mins away and he was kind enough to invite us to his place. Joy's apartment was small but nice and as soon as i lay down,i dozed off only to be awakened by joy's phone alarm. It was 5 in the morning,time when life of a working guy starts in mumbai. After getting ready we rushed to our exam center. As far as the exam is concerned it went well. The real show started after exam.
The thing about Indian police that puzzles me the most is they trouble harmless people while turning a blind eye to scoundrels and criminals. This time they decided to trouble me and my friend. As we were enquiring about trains to Pune at Dadar station, this policewalla called us and started enquiring about our whereabouts. He checked our id's,our luggage and even our cell phones. When he couldn't find anything against us , he bore an irritated look on his face and asked us to get lost.
Thanking our stars that we weren't carrying any alcohol, we found the first way out of that place,took a bus and left for pune.Only thing that added to our misery was the delay in reaching pune cuz the tyre of our bus punctured and they took an hour to replace it.Still i am safely back home and 2 beers down as i post this blog. All in all it was a great learning experience and 3 cheers to pune.It is indeed the city to live in..:-)

RUDE....awakening
Rudely Dudley Cudley Fiddly Mudley smugly............oh hi u r here....
I was preparing for my exam thats why am practicing adverbs.Anyways now that we are here let's share some thoughts....Random ones to say the least..
Well i am very rude,that's the opinion of a friend of mine.Should i think about it??
Even if i am rude why should it be of any concern to anyone??Why should i even give a f%#@ about it?? But as one of my best friends put it,i am not like that i do give a f%@# about what others think about me,why is a friend pissed with me or why is someone avoiding me??Huh...i sound pretty stupid in here,still....Now i am apparating away to some happy thoughts...Wanna come along??Why not mate?come on it will be fun..you'll enjoy it....
........knock knock knocking on the heaven's door.......Do you recognize the place? its some auditorium. And do u recognize the band?..Well its my band.And the bassist that you see up there...that's me.This was my first ever stage performance and my proudest moment of college life.This performance is dedicated to all the promises that have been kept,in spite of all the hurdles...You know i had promised 2 of my best friends exactly one year ago that i would be performing on that stage in an year's time.I kept my my promise.
I have to go to Bombay tomorrow as i have an exam so see you in two days time.Meanwhile,would you keep your promise and come back to check whats new on my mind?:-)

Food,drinks and ambiance everything was awesome.Had a great time and drove back at a crazy speed to be there for my friend's birthday.After ceremonial cake cutting and birthday bumps we started drinking.After downing a couple of beers here i am blogging to the world my valentine's day.I have to say my day was awesome,still i can feel the void which can only be filled by an angel who ll make my heart sing...again :)

Destiny's Child
8th February,2008 will remain etched in my memory for a long time to come.It was a day that showed both sides of the coin to me .i.e. ecstasy and pain.
Morning started with cold wave whipping across my face,sending the chill to the innermost cell of my bone.An hour later i was sitting in the assembly hall of SCIT with a lot of nervous faces sitting around me waiting for their turn to participate in Group Discussions.Doubts and fear started taking control of me.I didn't know if i was shivering because of cold or it was just nervousness showing its effects...
Any doubts i had regarding my GD evaporated as soon as i started speaking and i knew at that moment i was gonna ace it.As if my new found confidence was not enough,i got a call from someone informing me that i had been selected as a bassist for host performance in my college fest.This acted as a booster and i knew it then and there that come what may,i was going to get through.My interviews went quite good.
Later,while going to my college for band practice i got caught up in traffic for an hour. The frustration of traffic freaked me out so much that i met with an accident.This did act as a dampener and proved the fact that pain keeps us humble.Far away in the horizon sun was setting,taking away the light from my eyes but promising to be back with new hope and opportunities topped with problems in equal measure in 12 hours time.

The disaster called soccer
Sorry for not posting for a long time.Been busy off late what with so many exams all over me.
My results have been pretty decent,still the future remains quite uncertain.This rat race is taking a toll on my creativity.Otherwise also,things haven't been great for me especially after the new years.I got my first backlog in college life,one of my closest friends stopped talking to me, projects got delayed etc.To sum it all up things haven't progressed the way i wanted them to in the new years.My new years resolution was to quit smoking up,but all these incidents have pushed me towards Hash all over again.
Today there was my intra-college soccer competition and we lost 9-0.I just can't help but realize that i am losing everything right now.How can i let go if there isn't any security????I am completely lost today.To the world i am normal and happy right now,but inside i am lonely,sad and hoping for someone to take me out of this shell of darkness while trying myself to find the path to happyness with a y....
