I AM HONEST,DONT KNOW IF IT COMES OUT AS ARROGANCE

Lately,life took many shades..It took turns I never anticipated..My blogs being partially responsible for the debacles as well..But I won't get into that shitty story..This is a new beginning to my life,where I have to restrategise my life and think clearly about my priorities........


The doubts over the selection procedure no longer exists.The apparent strong candidates not making it to the second round made it clear ,only the best were required.

It was the second event and its selections that amazed me though.I mean, what do they want,a person with good communication skills or a guy who can lick their asses with perverted acts of nudity and celebration of homosexuality.A guy in my group who spoke not once during the GD was invited for PI,the better guys were shown the door...Go on guys,may your event be successful.....I am still convinced I AM BETTER...


However, I wont say I was perfect in my own way...The first event had people who loved me once.I apologize to them for having disappointed them.I was insecure and perhaps too naive.Anyways,thats past.NO REGRETS..Whatever happens ,it probably has a reason....However ,the way some of them ignore me does hurt me....


I do realise I was arrogant in phases, though.



Asked my leader tonight ,if she thinks I am arrogant....Never expected her to be so honest...She replied ,"UMM...YUP AT TIMES".I mean the sentence could have been better constructed like....NO NOT REALLY,BUT IT DOES RUFFLE SOME FEATHERS.....Anyways,a sugar coated reply would have been of no use....


This post is meant to tell all those people who think/thought/will think that I am arrogant....TRUST me ,I never intend to be rude.Just that,my expressions are never really under my control...My expressions unknowingly do appear rude...AND I am trying my best to do something about it...The day is not far when, my face will reflect the humorous self...MAY be then my loved ones will stop ignoring me....TRUST ME I AM NOT THAT RUDE..

My hobby is.....

In almost all the intros I have given so far in my new hall of residence,the one part I hated the most was "My hobby/hobbies is/are"....Cos the expected answer is something conventional,like say playing cricket ,hockey,etc.....I mean ,yes these are the hobbies which really can help the hall,but can't a loser(ME ME ME!!!) have an hobby that might not be very conventional and something that can't ever help the hall win the general Championships.


So,instead of being a smart ass while giving those intros ,here I am giving a public announcement.MY FAVOURITE HOBBY IS SEEING EMBARRASSED PEOPLE GETTING CAUGHT IN AN EMBARRASSING STANCE.

Wondering how that can be a hobby?

Okay,i'll not waste our time enumerating how interesting this hobby can be.Instead I'll put forward my observations,You decide whether noting that must have been interesting or not.


I'll not go into the details of my thesis.


1.

i-think-i-have-a-good-sense-of-humour-but-my-jokes-never-work man.


Most of my readers are IITians,and lets face it ,every 99 out of 100 IITians have a bad sense of humor.

The rest fake it well.

Now,how does this man react when he has just cracked a joke that smells worse that a bad fart.


My subjects always came up with the same face saving statement,"IT WAS NOT A JOKE IT WAS A FACT".Little did they know,their statement just made their stigma go higher.


2.Oh-I-stumbled-but-It-didn't-hurt man


IIT and cycles are almost synonymous.In our stay here almost all of us have fallen hard from our wheels of fire,our cycles.

All my subjects always showed the same reaction after a big fall.i have classified it into two stages.
(a) Oh!!!It was not my fault stage---This stage is marked by a visible show of disgust over the main stimuli of fall.ASSHOLES!!WHY DO THEY LEAVE THESE SHITHEADS ON THE STREETS,THEY WILL DEFINITELY GET SOME ONE KILLED SOMEDAY WITH THEIR CYCLES ,is the first reaction
(b)Oh!!!It didn't hurt stage---Then comes the stage when the subject realises that he is the center of attraction ,lying flat on the road( NOT a very pleasant experience ,I 'll tell you).Its then that the subject tries his best to get back his honor.While others will try to pick him up,he keeps on glaring at the stimuli,giving that you-bastard-come-back-have-a-piece-of-me look,without giving a thought to the cuts and bruises(so brave,you would think)



While all this drama was underway,my subjects never looked eye to eye with anyone in the crowd,probably to show that they don't care,just because they cared a lot

Even funnier are the ones who miss a step

They glare the stairs as if it just played a silly trick


3.Soft-man-loud-company man

This has surely happened with all bongs.You are in a posh restaurant,trying to put your best foot forward,and suddenly,your noise pollutant mom goes,HEY CHOTU WHY DONT U COME HERE,loud enough for the world to know that you've arrived.

My subjects were of two types

(a) The one who reply ,MUMMY JI NAHIN WAHAAN CHALTE HAI,a few decibels higher,than mummy ji.
I dont study these suckers.They can never be embarrassed
(b)Then there are those who start mumbling something very softly,just to give the impression that something important is being discussed here giving that I-don't-care-if-you-think- otherwise look,while all he was saying was,"Not here mom,and for god sakes softer!!!".Important conversation indeed.


So what do ya say buddies?
Isn't that the most entertaining hobby.

To know more about this ,call me.i'll tell you the tricks of the game...
AASTA LAVISTA!




PS:ALL THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BE4,SO U NOE HOW I CAME TO KNOW THE INTRICATE DETAILS

My mistakes in the past blogs!!!(DONT THINK I DIDNT KNOW THEM,JUST THAT MY FINGERS SLIPPED)

Well !!in my past blogs,I have made a lot of grammatical mistakes.Just in case ,u thought this sucker typing this piece of crap has a terrible grammar problem,i am here to accept my mistakes.

I'll start with probably the most embarrassing mistake of my writings . Second paragraph first line ,"It started as a present surprise"....Guys I know it should be "pleasant" surprise..This is not really a grammar mistake but then its a blunder i committed.

In the "fermentation Lab" thingy ,while writing abt all my labbies i wrote"ME" twice....This was what we call a "silly mistake".

I made some spelling mistakes as well.....


So all in all ,I have been a bad blogger..
I have been receiving some rave reviews though.And I am beginning to think ,I am a good writer.Thank you,Thank you,Thank you...It was not possible without you guys...ummmah.....


And the German girl who contacted me the other day,would like to chat wid ya sumtime..

I tried too Hard AND lost it all

Life is so unpredictable.Just when I thought everything is going well for me,I got the biggest shock of my life.MY only ambition is getting taken away from me,thanks to a senior who thought my enthusiasm was not good for me.

It started as a pleasant surprise and eluded me so suddenly.November last year,when nothing went right for me,this thing suddenly came out of nowhere.As I got to know it,it carried on surprising me.Just the magnitude,the glamour,the environment,the people.I thought ,yes this is where I belong.Eight months,I waited for it.Spending every minute thinking about it.

Now,I am told,its not there for me.

Now ,I am in the middle of nowhere.Nowhere to go,no one to turn to,no one to talk to.Please,if you know me,do not ask me about it.Let me be alone for sometime.

Prejudiced ME!!!

Like almost every self respecting man ever born ,I always think my acts are justified.Recently ,a friend called me a Male chauvinist PIG.My first reaction was ,"Oh yeah!!So are you!BTW What does that mean?".My only fault being ,I said IIT is full of not-so-good looking girls.Poor me!Can't even complain.

I am a prejudiced person.Learnt that from my mom.She says she has keen instincts.And trust me,it really works out for her.Poor me !Had a bad deal in that one too.More often than not ,people whom I rate a "Write off",turn out to be the heroes.

This post is a public apology to all those who faced the brunt of my prejudice.Also,this post is a public announcement and pledge,that in the future ,all my actions would be judged by logic and not by my 'instincts'.


My first apology to my group leader,who ,is leading like a true leader these days(is my prev post responsible??).She is now taking her initiatives and she is doing a great job.Great going!! leader.Her next step should be to divide the work equally to all the members.Some of us are beginning to feel left out(or are happy to be left out!!!).


The next apology to all the girls from Hyderabad in my class.I thought ,you guys were the biggest epitome of nerdism(I coined that term).But as it turned out ,you are cool people to talk to and are loyal friends.My thanks to the girl who worked out the differences and confusions between my leader and I.


My next apology,to Miss Anurima Patra.She was such a nerd in school.But nowadays,she is so cool to chat with.I am sure my friends in kolkata still wont believe ,I took an advice from PATRI on relations.I mean PATRI and I were on a completely different page.She was a wannabe doc ,I a wannabe engg.I mean my friends and I totally looked down upon them(she and her group).And trust me,Patri is a true agony aunt,an intelligent one at that.That she would send me a HAPPY FRIENDSHIP'S DAY SMS was unimaginable in school.Things have changed,for sure.


Well!!!lastly!Apologies to Protik Roychowdhry.Back in Jamshedpur(class 8th) ,I hated him.He was such a bully.But ,trust me that one year with him and his classmates made me such a mature man.I mean,ask Protik and he will tell you what a Rondu I was in class.On my first day,I complained to my class teacher ,when a guy called Dubey ,called our history sir a eunuch.Thanks to the treatment you gave me,today I call everyone around me eunuch and what not.


Thats it!To anyone else who thinks ,he deserves an apology.My sincere apologies to him as well.


And Mr "I'll Try To BE truthful", thanks for your comments.Would like to chat with you some day

IN A COUNTRY OF HIPPOCRITES

I am not very interested in politics,but there is a theory that I have full faith in.The politicians of a country are a reflection of the citizens of that country.After spending 18 summers in this beautiful country ,my faith in this theory has only strengthened.



I am in IIT,a place which makes news in this country every other day for some or the other reason.The one which threatened to affect my life the most was the 27% OBC quota,the subsequent rise in the number of seats and the fear of losing one of the biggest brands in the country,IIT and IITIANS.



The Arjun Singh proposal was made just before the end of my class eleventh.My first reaction was ,"Damn It!!!What if the seats for us go down".Thanks to the vociferous protests
by the medical students and a group called BROTHERS OF EQUALITY,the entire process got delayed by a year.Now ,with no quotas,the number of seats remained the same,and,I luckily made it.Then,the proposal gained momentum again.I remember ,Ankit Shubham ,a good friend of mine ,here in IIT,saying,"Ab to main IIT mein hoon,mujhe kya farak padhta hai".
MUJHE FARAK PADHTA HAI ,Isaid.



Recently ,while discussing world issues,something that is done when one has no bloody other business to do,another friend said SAALE !!POLITICIANS NE DESH BIGAD DIYA.I asked ."TU ISKE BAAD KYA KARNA CHAHTA HAI?He replied, "US mein research".



All students in IIT,whose parents "combined " income is less than Rs 2,00,000,are entitled to a MERIT CUM MEANS scholarship.A friend of mine asked me "KUM INCOME LIKHNE SE PROBABILITY SCHOLARSHIP MILNE KI BADH JAATI HAI ,KYA".I asked ,"Tere pass SONY VAIO LAPTOP HAI,N95 HAI,U BLOODY FLY HOME,YOU DID TWO YEARS COACHING IN KOTA(which means an expenditure of atleast three lakhs),AND YOU ARE ASKING FOR MCM".

Who is at fault for this fucked up state of our beautiful country.Gandhiji said ignorance is the biggest enemy of the country.I say it is GREED.When will WE give One fucking thought for the poor state of things in our country.

WHAT DO I WANNA DO AFTER GRADUATION????

MAY BE MBA AND THEN A JOB IN US.

AT THE FERMENTATION LAB

I am living a dream,may be the hard way,but I am.Right after class 10th,i knew HOTEL MANAGEMENT was the thing for me.My father,a fourth generation army officer ,on knowing this was "SHOCKED",in every sense of the word.I had 94.2% in my 10th boards,I mean I was meant for "bigger things",that was what everyone said.So I decided against "SPOILING" my future.I started my preparations for IITJEE.In my country ,everyone who is good in academics does this.

But thanks to my dad's posting to Kolkata and my lack of knowledge of the good tuition centres there,i started a correspondence course.BUT as luck would have it ,I even cleared IITJEE.My dad was so "HAPPY",though, with a bad rank of 2593.

But due to a confusing system of counselling that incidently started in my batch itself,I was "ALLOTTED'' ,DUAL DEGREE COURSE IN BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOCHEMICAL ENGG.

First year went by without anything to write home about.Like any guy who got something more than he deserves,i spent my first year eating out,partying and bhaat(Baat +Chaat,a KGP term) maaroing .No wonder I could not manage a DEPT C(department change,another KGP term).


In case you are wondering how is this crap I just wrote, anywhere related to Fermentation Lab.Well!!the day starts now.

We were divided in groups of 8.My group had all five year students viz.Kamdar Moullic Rajender
(Ya thats the name of a single guy),Varun,Subhradeep Samaddar,Soumya Poddar(He is a guy,Incase you are wondering),Dushyant,Me and our "group leader" ,a girl .AND of course ME.We had seven members,so we were one down already.

This lab ,on paper, is of 3 hours,but it requires you to be "present" a day pre and post experiment.So for the lab meant to be held on Thursday we all were supposed to come to the lab on Wednesday.Our leader called in sick (Something that i think is debatable).Soumya Podadar
was unaware of the timing ,so he was not there as well .Moullick had a healing broken arm.The experiment was supposedly the lengthiest in the group.Varun,Subhradeep,Dushyant and ME left.We were required to do as many as three tasks at a time.
All these tasks are so much similar to cooking .I mean that was what we were doing,we were preparing food for the microbes,after all.So right from washing the cutlery ,ie .the Petri Dish,making Nutrient Agar for the microbes,prebaking (technically called AUTOCLAVING )the food was ,to making cotton plugs(similar to making Kathi Rolls) was to be done.I was in a gourmet kitchen ,the head chef was absent and somebody had to be the Sous chef,and we were really short of manpower.After 5 hours of work in the gourmet kitchen ,while everyone was cursing the absentees and Moullick's terribly bad sense of humor, I had a nice big smile on my face.Doing engg I worked in a kitchen,ok ,fine it was a lab but ,what difference does it make.

I lived my dream.But the work was not yet over.The next day we were supposed to put the microbes on the dishes.So I got to do the work of a waiter as well.the minor differnce being ,my customer was not placing any order,was not demanding great food and was a little smaller than an average sized customer.It didn't tip me as well,so it pretty evens it out.A dinner service of five hours and we were done.Our leader ,incidentally had to leave early,because she had an appointment with a doctor.

The next day.The colony counting part was done by Varun ,Moullick and (finally!!!!) OUR LEADER.But there is more to it.In any restaurant ,its not just cooking and serving that is required.You gotta wash the dishes as well.Dushyant and I were given this dirty work.

Nice three days.It made me a chef,a sous chef at that,a waiter and a dishwasher as well.

Looking forward to more such experiments.And yes ,would like the leader to LEAD this time.
