More Time to kill

I went back home for the weekend.
And when I was in the train, the night got me thinking(as always) about lots of stuff.
Anyway, I wrote some stuff on the train. Will post that here.

[paste]
I miss everyone.
I miss the times we had.
I can't stand work. Will do some more college stuff.
MS, MTech, MBA, MCom, MA, anything. Just have to do something else.
This shit is absolutely pointless.

I miss, most of all, having time for myself.
Time to do whatever the fuck I feel like doing.

Time to go out for no reason, time to play AoC for endless hours without stopping for sleep.
Time to go to Abhi's place and talk about players and games and arbit topics and crib about college.
Time to go to Dhaval's place and hang out in weird places, eat weird things and talk about anything under the sun.
Time to cycle over to Jeet's home and play noob CS, watch dumbass movies and tease each other for no apparent reason.
Time to go to Neeru's house and play with Snoopy, watch crazy videos and laugh like mad for hours (and invariably eat breakfast or lunch or dinner)
Time to cycle super long distances.
Time to stare at people when no one can think of what to talk about.
Time to spend online chatting with ten people at a time, and mixing up conversations often.
Time to play football and basketball on the weekends.
Time to spam on the Indus forums with the gang.
Time to play with Kefa.
Where, oh where has all the time gone.

Pink Floyd's "Time" has such amazing lyrics.


"Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. "

I need to be able to blame someone for all the shit I'm in.
I can't blame myself, you know. :P

So I figure there must be a god, if only to put the blame on!
or as Calvin replies to Hobbes question : "So you think there is a god?"
"Well, someone's out to get me!"

Lover boys

The blog has been inactive for a while now. Thought of posting something but there's nothing much to post apart from me getting bored of studies. So I was bored and was going through the ooty trip pics. I found this one and before i knew it, I was rofl'ing.

Just look at both the faces. So happy in love!

Always with me always with you

I'm not sure what exactly is always with me and always with you, 
but it seemed like a nice Title.
(It is also the name of the song  I am listening to at the moment!)

SSB was last week. Both Dhaval and I didn't make it. So there go the airforce plans.
Back at pune for now. TCS didn't miss me, as expected.
The SSB was a great experience, we had a really nice time there in Mysore.
Loads of really fun tests like group tasks and the obstacle course where both of us surprised ourselves. It was 6 days I won't forget for a long time.

Stayed with Abhi for a couple of days after the SSB. Was nice to relax for a bit and just talk to someone. IISc is a wonderful place.
Like Abhi says, it'll be nice if all of us are able to catch up sometime. This summer maybe, when everyone might be in India.

I guess it is time for me to figure out what I am going to do in the near future. Maybe I'll shift jobs or something. Would like to go back to hyderabad actually. I wonder how things will work out.
I suppose a higher education is inevitable now. I definitely cannot continue on this B-tech we managed to fluke through for much longer.

Let me know if anyone has any ideas, because I seem to be running out of decent ones.
Thinking of game programming at the moment. Lets see how things work out regarding this.

Sadly, apart from all the boring work related stuff, I have nothing to report.
I really miss Kefa!

Oh well, that's the end of this super-boring update. More updates as events warrant.

Getting bored of academics

Really. All this seems so pointless. Donno what the hell I am going to do post M.E.. However, I am really enjoying my stay here at IISc doing almost everything but studying :D. Been playing badminton for a while, will be learning swimming in the next sem., doing some general reading, etc.. Basically enjoying my time here. Our scholarship has been hiked from 5K pm to 8K pm :D

When are the US boys coming home? sometime soon I hope. Hope to have a very nice summer with all the BTech friends meeting up or something. I really hope thats possible.

Keep posting and keep this thing active :P

Money for Nothing

TCS survives without me doing any work at all. What an amazing discovery.

Well, I'm planning to stay here for another month. No more hopefully!
The SSB should be sometime at the end of this month.

Really feel like getting into gaming nowadays.
Gaming is going to explode in India. I'm sure of that.
If I don't make it into the Airforce, I'm first going to take some time off and travel.
And then, find out about what skills a person needs in the game development industry.
Learn them/take courses or something or maybe even a higher education! :$ (Will wonders never cease!) and then do something fun! =)

Life is going on otherwise. Office Monday to Friday. Gymmed for a week and then got bored! :P

Cut my hair finally. Must've lost a couple more Kilos with that.

Going to goa next weekend. For an AoE tourney. More for the fun than for the prize.

Nothing much else going on. Might be taking part in a few sports events here in TCS.

Skipping most of my training sessions here. Haven't gotten into any trouble yet! :P
Apparently that's pretty difficult to do in the Industry.

Spending weekends with the Indus gang here in pune. Quite a bit of fun except for all the marathi.
Weekends rock. I wish we had a four day week or something! Started playing badminton. Abhi, next time we meet, we'll play. I'm still learning though. Only played for two weeks so far.
Getting sort of decent though. =)

Will post sometime later. If anything happens. :P

P.U.L.S.E

I didn't know what else to name this post. I had one of the best nights of my life last night. I was at a concert with "the machine". For those who don't know, the machine is the oldest and best pink floyd cover band. They have been playing since 1988. That's 20 years as a cover band!! 

After the concert last night, I felt like that maybe pink floyd were the cover band and the machine was the real deal. The front man was gilmore and waters put together. The performance was so good that It was pink floyd's PULSE all the way! I was in the very first row with my gang and when the band played songs like high hopes, wish you were here and the wall, there was nothing I could do but sing along with awe. Every floyd effect was covered to the minutest detail. I got to meet them later after the show and they were really nice and gave away signed t-shirts and cd's

I don't know what else to say other than that this was an awesome start to the semester and I really wish that you guys can see these people live some day. It's pretty much the closest anyone can get to pink floyd.

Till then try to catch their videos on the tube!

ciao

Celebrating Work !!

" YEAH RIGHT !! " Those are the words that pop into my mind whenever I hear my company's slogan. They are not entirely wrong though. We are celebrating alright but I am not too sure about the work part. Most of the times its boring with occasional bouts of exasperation.

Unlike Zaphod's case , I am unfortunately not entirely free nor are am I totally involved in projects. We are just given some stupid tasks to complete. Ok. enough about the work part. (there is nothing more to say about it.) There is one clarification I would like to make.

There is no new 'flame' as someone called it. Been trying to keep out of this "love" buisness. Been in it for a while and havent found it in good taste. Once bitten twice shy I guess.

What else...What else...Ahhh !! Beasthu and DD were at my place the other day. we had actually planned for dinner outside but DD, as always delayed and we ended up watching Band of brothers over biriyani at my place. Had a very "good" breakfast the next day. Thanks to DD's
"excellent" recommendation. All in all it was a welcome break in my monotonous weekend schedule of doing absolutely nothing.

Will keep updating in this place often. Untill then Ta.
