ROCK OR RUCKUS???

AMITY UNIVERSITY SPORTS COMPLEX,
18th February 2009,
Time: around 8.30 p.m.
Occasion: UROOJ ' 09.

SCENE 1:
 Students were enjoying the jamboree in their anomalous behavior. They seemed to be bibulous too. Is it the "HALLOWEEN DAY" today? I asked one of my friends. Of course not. It can't be, as it is celebrated on October 31st. Oh oh I got it. Its the ROCK NITE of UROOJ '09. I wonder how can anyone be so engrossed in rock music or even rejoice to the slightest bit of this bombastic indomitable music. Or is it music at all??

SCENE 2:

I tried  to make my move towards the bedlam with my friends. What I saw was unbelievable. Can u believe it, there wasn't any rock band as it was yet to arrive and the crowd was already in their dancing shoes. GOSH, that's really crazy!!! After some time the first band arrived named PRESTORIKA and the other one was APHASIA. I was getting nauseated with the first performance only so i did not wait for the second one. Ne ways... never mind. 

SCENE 3:

"Oh my God!!!", somewhere near me a girl uttered or rather i should say screeched in my ear (actually i was unable to make out her cadence). Now where the hell does God came in between. She said it the way you would if you had just discovered a body hanging from the chandelier. Again "Oh......my....God.....!!!", a bit more emphatically. I peeked in over her shoulder and everything seemed normal to me. Me and my friends were like some character in Ekta Kapoor's soap has died for the forty-fourth time. We were totally apathetic.

SCENE 4:

I don't remember whether the band members, with their knee-length hair and weird t-shirts with skull and bones printed on them, were singing or berating the crowd or may be they were trying to communicate with dead people. Whatever they said..ohh sorry...sang..was all neologism to us. But one thing I did understand was (don't blame me for this) when they addressed the crowd as..."HEY u fucking people out there!!!.....this is a fucking cool university." I would not say I did not enjoy the ROCK NITE. The most interesting part was when the lead singer asked "you want more????" and everyone shouted a big NOOOOOO......but they ended up saying "then lets go for it."

             B.   Joe went to bed every night at the same time and woke up at the same time every morning. Joe slept in the same room in the same bed every night.

I'm a Typology Omnivore....apparently.

I first spotted a link to this quiz in my google alerts for technology.
The quiz takes a look at how you fit in a series of groups based on your interactions with technology. Apparently I fall in the Omnivore group who, according to the website are people who: "use their extenxive suite of technology to do an enormous range of things online, on the go, and with their cell phones. Omnivores are highly engaged with video online and digital content. Between blogging, maintaining their Web pages, remixing digital content, or posting their creations to their websites, they are creative participants in cyberspace".
This is pretty accurate.
One interesting characteristic is that the notes on this group, only 8% of the general population, is the use of mobile technologies and video content. These aren’t areas where I’m particularly involved. To me a mobile phone is just that, a phone. I don’t take photos with it, I don’t have music on it, and I rarely use it for text messages.
All in all, an interesting little exercise. I did like the positive reinforcement about being creative.
What category do you belong in?

TGIF

"TGIF", these were the letters which came out from my soul after completing an arduous and sudorific week of my Summer Training. TGIF? Ahhhh....it stands for THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY. I was so thankful to God for creating a Friday. How many of you actually thankGod for creating a friday? Can't think of any reason? Let me help you out. Actually there are many reasons for exclaiming TGIF. For example:
  1. Like I did.
  2. When I was in school I used to thank God for making a Friday kyunki Saturday n Sunday no school.
  3. In college we thank God for friday for the same reason that we did in school.
  4. Some people say TGIF as its the day for a new movie release and finally they have got somthing nice to do.
  5. One of the most awkward reasons is that, many men love t say TGIF, kyunki no SAAS-BAHU sagas will be seen flashing on their technology tools. As the K-Pariwaar is probably not working on Fridays.

So as you see there are many reasons to thank God on fridays , dont forget to thank HIM next time and me too ;).

Survival of the coolest!!!!!

The race to be the coolest,hippest and the trendiest among young peers is on a high rise,especially among adolescents.Not trying alcohol,not having girlfriends/boyfriends etc. is termed as "uncool" and sometimes as jerky.
Survival of the coolest is fully dependent on his/her milieu.When in the company of like-minded people,peer pressure propels one to perform well. It is your friend circle which decides your performance,it can make it either better or sometimes even creates a miasma around you.The peer pressure effect can be seen in things like hairstyle and fashion and to more serious things like smoking and drinking.Some of them are used to it,but those who are not try to copy others to show that they are 'cool' and that 'they belong'. Children should understand that having the hippest look,branded clothes and a miltiutility cell phone or trying the sutta, does not make them cool.What makes them cool is their 'FRIENDSHIP'.
They should realize that its not necessary for friends to like the same things. If that were the case, people would just be clones of each other.
Sometimes things may go worse and instead of understanding and realizing the needs of their fellow friend,he/she is OSTRACIZED. Children walk a tight rope to show that they are cool and trendy and not rebelling against their parents.They pay high price to show that they belong. If they don't they are often cruel teased,as I already said "ostracism".
Parents also play a major role in this competition of being the coolest.They should spend time with their young ones and can help their children to decide when to conform(comply with the rules) and when to not.
The youth should realize taht a good friendship allows one,the freedom of expression and the space to follow one's pursuits.It is arsinine to hear that every youngster today wants to be a 'HIP-HOPPER' rather than a 'TOPPER'. They find it boring and arduous to pay attention to their academics.To conclude, nobody wants to know the meaning of 'CAMARADERIE'.
"All children face peer pressure,while some combat it,most succumb to it."

Waah llife ho to aisi!!!!

"Hey wait for me,I m left with two more clothes to wash".This is what I shouted to my friends at 1.00 a.m. But shouting at 1 doesnt makes any sense.As everybody must be sleeping by that time.but this is not the scene. It is hostel life my dear frends where day begins at one.And i was shouting at them becaus they were goin to start a movie without me.and that really not fair....so...u know wat i mean. being a hosteller was a Hobson's choice for me.It was like "fait accompli".Now things are different,I fain that I m a hosteller.There are some general trends which hostellers follow.Here they go one by one. We have two canteens or what is generally called as the campus mess,in AMITY.But the E-block canteen seems that it does not have enough ration for every hosteller so they wind up the mess at around 9 p.m. I and my friends are late-goers so we have to keep ourselves satisfied with the D-block canteen. As soon as you enter the canteen you can make out what is there for dinner with its 'effluvia'.The first person met is always asked a compulsory question,and that is,"whats there for dinner?".Albiet you know it,but still as I said earlier its tradition to ask such stupid questions.After making funny remarks,though they sometimes dont seem to be funny at all, and cursing the canteen chef we be a part of the queue. Now thats all for dinner.While coming out of the canteen you face the same situation i.e., you are asked the same question. And as the traditon says the answer goes like this...."its bakwaas yaar..yuck!!". You say all the bullshit about the menu that you can, although you had it. AMITY CAMPUS,SECTOR-125,is really a big one,as in,200 acres! You can imagine how big it is.It feels really good when you go for a walk after dinner.Taking an after dinner walk in AMITY campus can be fun sometimes.Not getting it? Dont worry I will explain it to you.As I said earlier its a big area so..there are many corners. Sometimes while walking you step into somebody's tete-a-tete or may be sometimes you hear voices coming from nowhere as if some group is planning conspiracies.After dinner we hardly get half an hour for the walk as girls are allowed in the plaza only till 10.After that the plaza is surrendered to boys and we watch them playing football and cricket from our hostel windows as if we were the "PRISONER OF AZKABAN". If you try to break the hostel rules the dementors(hostel warden)are ready to suck all the feelings of happiness from your soul.Coming back to hostel room.It is the place sometimes square- shaped,sometimes l-shaped or sometimes any possible shape which you cant imagine. The best part of the hostel is that you can filch things..eeerrr...borrow things,without informing it to the owner,or you can inform her later if you remember.Borrow books and tell her that you will return it in an hour and you never return that back to her,instead wait till she comes to take it back from you(even better,hihihi).Or you can try the second option,further give that book to somebody else and ask her that she is free to give that book to any of her friends if she wants to. Now that what a genius does,you started a chain reaction.The result is that the original book owner runs from room to room to get her book.One of the iteresting situation is when you land up in somebody's room without prior information especillay when she is studying.Now here your work starts.Start jabbering all the bull shit that you can,discuss all the hokum, and as it is said "the more the merrier",you call up other friends too and establish a gang of girls of almost around 8-10 on 3 beds.The owner of the room is too polite to shout at you and ask you straight to leave the room,so enjoy the opportunity.One of my favourites situations in hostel is,when there is a powercut. If you are a good whistler this is the best time to show your quality.As i already said,for the sake of the DOGMA it is compulsory to make sound like "whhhooooooooooo",as loud as you can so that people within 200 miles radius are aware that there is no light.It is a belief of hostellers that if you make this "whooooooooo" the light will be back soon,but if you dont it will never. Now this is the perfect time to study but"kya karein koi padhne hi nahi deta". "Are yaar I had to make an assignment on biochemistry","oho just now I started studying and this light...." are the perfect dialogues for the situation. Atlast when the light is back its already time to go to bed.And you are off to sleep aleast one hour after you avowed. After all engineers dont work untill their tail is on fire.Last but not the least these are the best days of my life and I am really gonna miss them.
