oF MachO meN and BraVadO !

hiya ppl....

seeing that the previous post generated quite a storm (cyclone would be more like it)..i decided to embark upon a journey of literary enlightenment.....well..cutting the crap....i decided to notch up another post on my blog.!

as the topic suggests...this particular one is dedicated to all brave souls and their bravado, courage under fire or watever else you may call it....

Coming to the topic, men are of 2 types : the ones who are brave and the ones who show that they are brave...( many of them in our class i might dare add !)

well..many may think that the show down on thursday of this past week inspired me to write this post and i will make no excuses....I WAS INSPIRED BY THE SHOWDOWN....well others may add that i'm trying to justify my stand or trying to show off...well each to his own..! as if i care !!!

so coming to the topic again...(i'm kinda getting to understand what fun meiyappan had when he used to spin all that yarn)...so a certain character in my class inspired me to write about all this....

First, let me explain what happened....the character called Mr.M as we will call him, tried to put some 'vetti scene' in front of his friends by showing he was some great exponent at sports....and then after he was done with all that show, he proceeded to blame others for the loss of a cricket ball..well i entered into the situation here when Mr. M started blaming me for all that had passed ( and all that hadnt !)...the adrenaline kicked in and i ( as i usually am) was ready for a fight ( to the death if he wanted it :P)...Mr. M tried to make a great show of losing control and proceeding with the single aim of bashing my face in ( maybe his GF was watchin..no idea though..! coz even if she was watchin he doesn't quite make a show of being the MAN in front of her !)..

well...as prabu later pointed out...it all turned out for the good and we parted ways with awful words in our mouths....( i luv dissing others u see ! )...Mr. M went on to show off his skills at cricket....( where the ece batch thrashed the living daylights out of them )...and some of us went on to play volleyball where of course we had a lot of fun..!..

so well, that in short was the story u all have been dying to listen...call it an adrenaline rush or an overdose of testosterone....but DUDE....if u wanna pick a fight, FIGHT!...dont make an ass outta urself!..wat a bummer!!!

so ending on this rather depressing note..
Catch ya ppl later!

tHe gAnG !

well..after a much deserved break from the hectic (mundane) college life, which involved me going to college 6 days in that week, 3 movies, 2 coaching classes and 1 test, i was asked by one of THE GANG to write something on, well, THE GANG...(names have been withheld for security reasons)...so well lets kick-start the session with some mirch-masala stuff on THE GANG.....

CRAP ! ALMOST FORGOT !

STATUTORY WARNING :: If you are jealous of THE GANG or want an entry into it, I (WE) suggest that you rather keep your nose out of things that are not meant for you or face a rather gruesome death (well that was a bit over board but well anything could happen!)

Good. done with the warnings. lets start the hot stuff now....

now, THE GANG includes a lot of people...so we'll start in the order of characters that pop into my mind....there is no alphabetic order or ascending or descending priority....so don't get pissed and certainly don't complain if you find your name at a point in the list where you don't like it to be....( actually that could be settled...pay me a bit and ill edit my post !! )..

Firstly, about ME ! :- well, im kinda a really carefree person and i think i have a decent sense of humour, but thats for you ppl to decide n let me know....so well i'm a taurean and sometimes i'm really stubborn and prabu swears that i can never lose a fight ( so much so that he has not argued with me for the past 2 years)...so well thats me in a nutshell....

Next Prabu :- the ultimate mokkai of the group....his mokkai will come at a time when you are least expecting it and will almost always hit you below the belt...Founder of the Hall of Pain....also the roadside romeo of our class...dashing, young and handsome....or so the girls say!

Pradeep :- the brains of the group....quite close and almost on the verge of entering the Hall of Pain himself... i think his brain went fuzzy after he got his braces...coz he was fine before that...well he has nails for hair and keeps disappearing in lunch breaks for some piece of crap magazine called The Phoenix..ive also heard he has a lot of gf's...

Praneet :- the plotter and schemer of the gang....cool and unfazed our hero praneet can be relied on to form a plan even after the timeline for deciding upon something has elapsed.....

Karthik :- the kadalai of our group... he manages the kadalai for everybody and is the ultimate in the management of kadalai and its even distribution to any girl whom he knows....(orey vetti scene! )...has the shitty habit of taking his own photos in god knows what types of poses..!!...put all tat apart he's the dude of the group and is one of the most fashoinable guy around...he's the cool dude!

Prasanna :- the second romeo of our group...also the singer( HORRIBLE VOICE !) and spy behind enemy lines...providing much needed gossip and information...some nasty rumors about something between him and another of the gang are doing the rounds but personally i don't believe them...

Kicha :- the most innocent face of the group...though not so innocent inside....is almost always on the receiving end of some heavy duty pairings in class...and somehow manages to get his id card stolen most of the times...

Coming to the girls :

Lakshmi :- the padips of the group....also the Satyam ticket getter as she lives 100 mts away...a GRE topper....and somehow i find it odd...she's kadalai's cuzin...also the next Maria Sharapova in the making...a tennis champ..on the receiving end of some nasty teasing with boys all around....(everyday some new guy !)

Kavitha :- Ah! what a specimen....the worst artist i have ever seen (actually she's decent but i said there was a lot of mirch masala)....also the easiest scared...she's scared of dogs howling at night....MY GAWD ! GET A GRIP ! ...the biggest gossip monger among the group and teased with one of the most intelligent guyz in class... also the biggest liar when it comes to matters relating to studies..

Kavya :- the sportswoman of the group..( though pradeep suspects that she only goes to sweep the ground and give water to all those playing in the match !...plz dont blame me)...also the equivalent to kavitha when it comes to talkin about studies...LIAR LIAR !...also the slowest eater...ppl go to sleep at treats when kavya starts eatin....has a really cool and caring boyfriend !

Karthika :- hmmm...the silent assassin....(that's my term !!)... knows everything about everyone even when i have never seen anyone tell her about something in front of me...dunno how...also the only one who can drive prasanna nuts....quite an achievement i must say...teased with quite a dashing young man in our class...

Ambika :- Kadalai's counterpart on the girls side..the most teased on the girls side...she always finds herself in the wrong position whenever a gang member passes through...looks really innocent( may be too) , but then who knows !

so well....this in short is the gang....hope i haven't missed anyone...if so plz tell me..ill add ya up....do not blame me for any comments written about you...it's my blog after all...

P.S. i'm ready to change your "descriptions" for a minor fee :P

CHEERS !
TILL NEXT TIME !

Happy 60th Indpendence Day India !


Happy Independence Day India !!....Free India is 60 years old today....so lets celebrate...!!

Sitting at home, doing nothing i suddenly got this inspiration to do something...so i went on an internet hunt for videos..and what i found not only astounded me but also moved me to tears....i never thought that the medium of internet that stores more junk than real information could turn up something as patriotic and close to our hearts as the national anthem of India....

just in case you may be interested here are the links to 3 of my favourite videos....unbeatable all of them.....please do take a look..you will understand by what i meant when i said i was moved to tears....

Link 1 | Video 1
Link 2 | Video 2
Link 3 | Video 3

i felt a tingling all over my body when i started hearing the first of them...and just couldnt resist the urge to break into song( however horrible my voice may be)....but then who cares....today is Independence Day !...i hardly care what others may think of me...they may think i'm a fool...but i'm just being patriotic....a felling i can hardly quash and fold away into my subconscious as yet another normal feeling....

Do not forget, as kids knowingly or unknowingly you have all taken oaths to serve the nation....if not follow it word by word please don't try to make a fool out of yourself by mocking others who are doing something for this nation... the least one could do would be to shut one's mouth in case of a sudden urge to say something terribly stupid.....

People may say im putting on a show of this big patriotism feeling.....i would say, im not compelling you to do anything....in case you don't like it, just don't say anything...

India is my Country ! India is my Pride !

JAI HIND !! VANDE MATARAM !!

the bleedin CAT!

hello ppl ....i welcome you all to my 2nd post in my 1st blog...well enough with the pleasantries...today ill talk about some of the, simply put, shittiest, crappiest and the most stinking part of college life. CLASS TESTS...now well, you may think how is this connected with CAT....let me tell you before you jump to any conclusions...( a precaution worth taking as i know what you ppl would have started thinking...Ashwin will start saying dont let the cat out of the bag....pradeep will start saying dei we have to write CAT exam da.....and prabu will just take out his nailcutter and start whacking people left and right... Kadalai will make an exasperated face and say AYYO AYYO and praneet will just start making weird noises...)...so before all that happens, let me explain to you what cat is......

now there are various meanings to the word CAT....a Cat is a biological entity, a mammal belonging to the feline family....CAT also stands for the dreaded Common Admission Test (which i would be writing soon)....the third meaning for cat is the most interesting of them all...

A college down south, in the state of Tamil nadu in India, called SVCE( Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering) has come up with the best meaning of them all...for them and the poor students at the receiving end of it all...the CAT stands for Continuous Assessment Test...

i clearly remember the first time i came home and told my dad - "hey dad i got 27 in the first CAT"...and i clearly remember him saying-" Dont be a fool, you can only write the CAT in the 4th year of college"...and i was confused like hell....so we sat down for a round of discussion and it was a ice breaker of sorts....we blamed the system, we also blames the colleges, we blamed the helplessness of students, we blamed teachers, we blamed my marks, we blamed the VC....just about everyone we could remember of !..

well....after 3 and a half years of "quality" college education, i sometimes still fail the cat and have never ever managed to touch the 40/40 mark...guess that makes me a real student...the first rule of college life is to rebel....NEVER EVER GET A 40/40.....well it hardly matters....the one time "by accident" i managed to get a 39/40 i was ecstatic....sadly though the teacher still screwed me in my internals....i got a paltry 11/20 for my college end sem marks.

so personally, i have given up hope in the CAT...studying for 2 hours before the exam (sometimes lesser than that too) and becoming Sidney Sheldon or Jeffrey Archer for an hour ensures i scrape through...no pride in it but no harm too...people around me are a bit more concerned about it though...a gang of girls to my right would, if allowed, take the teacher on in a one on one battle of wits( and i suspect come out on top too) and fight for every single mark that the teacher didn't give them.... people to my left in class are of a mixed variety....pradeep says he doesn't study yet manages to get moe than almost everyone in class... ashwin has some fad with getting above 30(no offence but DUDE!)...prabu is happy with anything he gets and the once (now gone) King of CAT'S..gurubharan was content with any mark he got as long as it was more than psyche or gopi....man he was the DUDE....

well...enough of my rambling....by the way i fared real bad in the latest version of THE CAT....but still managed to scrape through...so did everyone else...so then....until next time

Hasta la Vista,
catch ya ppl later.....plz do leave comments!!

WHO AM I ?

Okay people, may sound funny, but this is my first blog entry. You might think, what has this guy been doing for so long? Well that gives you the first clue about me. I'm a guy. Moving on...you see the title of my blog...live life bindaas style.. well that about sums it up...im completely bindaas...normally im not bothered by anything or anyone...but once i am flustered by sumthing, you could expect god's wrath to descend upon your frail little shoulders and the bull's temper to deal with....that gives you another piece of info about me...im a Taurean...the sign of the bull...

Enough done with the hidden clues and the guess work... let me just set things straight... im an ultimately fun loving guy and my jokes are horrible [:P my friends could tell you that]...im incredibly funny and can make you laugh anytime you want.....my class mates stay as far away from me in class lest they get caught for laughing at the latest joke i cracked....and the teacher thinks they are laughin at her...what a waste of brains...who made her a teacher in the first place?..

well leaving all that behind, i love my friends and am as loyal as a lion....i am literally surrounded by the craziest, maddest and the most demented gang of boys that one could ever assemble. Prabu and his tortures, Ashwin and his GRE (and love), Pradeep and his wisecracks and oneliners, Mahesh and his mokkai's, Praneet and his sounds, Prasanna and his songs and names and Karthik and his kadalai...

i also have the coolest gang of guyz and galz of my class.. we are THE ultimate when it comes to having fun....not a care in the world would be an appropriate tagline....of course we stay within limits...one would be amazed to know that ppl who dont go wild can also have fun, and a lot more at that....

Lastly a bit more about me ::-

well as i said im a fun lovin guy.....i really love computer....cannot stay without them...im an avid reader...i can read anything.....i am a professional gamer [well you could call me that after we finally achieved sumthing after qualifying for the World Gamemaster Tournament]....and i love watchin as well as playing cricket and football...im basically a sporty kinda guy.....my build may not suggest that but i can assure you size [ or weight] doesn't matter....in my leisure time i just loll around wasting time or sitting on my comp....or maybe sumtimes i just pick up a book and read it for like the n'th time..

So well, that's about me...Oh crap i forgot the dedications......so here goes..

This Blog is dedicated to :: [trust me , there are a lotta names]

My friends ~ Prabu, Ashwin, Praneet, Karthik, Pradeep, Prasanna, Lakshmi, Kavitha, Kavya, Karthika, Ambika, Poornimma, The SAF turned SKF gang and any others i might have forgotten to put here....

My Parents and my Relatives...

And lastly to my beloved grandfather...you will be sorely missed !
