How late is too late...?

There have been times where i've given up on tasks way before te actual deadline... for instance, last sem I had this project to submit the next morning at 10AM... there was absolutely nothing working and I had almost given up hope.... 17th April to be precise.. I just went to a friend in the next Lab, as my final hope to salvage some pride and guide me in that crucial step that was eluding me all month... after all it could cost me a subject and plunge my self conidence down to great depths... The guy worked on my project thru out the night.... finished it by 8AM while i lay staring at his lappie wondering how he had so much enthu to do somebody elses job .... not for 1 sec in those 11 hours did he give up!!! At the end of it all ... i left his house still awestruck.... wondering why God was so merciful. I couldn't get myself to present it ultimately, but got an extension and presented another piece of work and fortunately the prof was understanding enough. What ultimately came out of it .... i'll know in just over an hour from now!!! All I could say then is "Thank You Saurabh"! Yeah, I did give him a big bar of choc too.... but truly, i promised my self 2 things on that day.... Never to give up until its the end Help anyone if i could .... if i can make the difference then so be it! On the same lines of thinking..... watch this video another friend sent to me..... The moral ofcourse goes just the same way.... I wonder if the calf did survive for too long after.... but yes it sure will give u the a great feeling.... The joy of living a life... Have a good one :-)

Friday... movie again...

All excited about the weekend, I landed at Jade cinemas again ... had a great time last week watchin Life in a Metro, and was hoping to feel just as good this weekend too. Again I went with the same gang, all of us hoping not to find our prof in the movie theater again! Our sem results are gonna be out tomorrow noon and we hoped to find some real cheer before we lamented for the next few days... This time it was Shootout at Lokhandwala. I expected it to be violent, but didn't expect so much blood shed and gore!! Yuck it was ....Sadistic....So sad was the movie that I wished I had never come atleast 50 times within the first hour... n then left...It's probably the first time i've ever walked out of a movie theater before the end.... Just Pathetic!!! I was hoping I could say something nice at least ... but there really was nothing... Wish I could claim my 10 dollars back!!!

Bus... time hai kya...

Walk to a bus stop and u suddenly realise you might just have missed a bus... and the next one doesn't come until 20 more mins... Many a times i have just missed the bus ... and usually its on a day when i'm already late... 2 days ago i found this cool way of knowing when to land at the bus stop to catch the bus right in time.... If u travel using an SBS bus everyday, and dont mind spending a minute to check the net.... then this is the place to visit before you start from home or office... SBS Transit IRIS Nextbus system If you think u still have time left ... play some music, drink another cup of water... or just stroll arnd in ur living room... for all u know u might even have enough time to read another of my posts :-) happy travelling!

Ice Cream P(a)rata

There's this 24 hr Indian restuarant in Bukit Gombak Sgp... practically been having all my meals there for the past 2 months... turns out it'll be one of my fav places for a long time... Here's a delicacy from the place... if u dont know me then that's not me in the pic... FYI: Paratha's are called Prata in the land of the Mer-Lion!

When Life gets Metro-ed....

Life in a metro... the movie... I've been keeping myself highly busy just to divert my tottering mind... Life in a metro would hardly be a movie to watch in the current situation i am in.... but it really turned out to be worth every little bit... If ur a guy u have to watch it with a bunch of like minded junta, hooting all the way to the end... the movie begins in a complicated way, and get too intense mid-way... KK is the usual serious self... then steps in Irrfan Khan and man is it fun!!! i died laughing and if not for him the moovie was typical madhur bhandarkar Page 3 types... Konakan Sen facing a similar role here too... But Shilpa shetty does act a bit too for a change. Dharmandre still cant act and Nafisa Ali is still Graceful! I'm a phd student and went to watch it with 3 other guys (we shud be called geeks i guess :p) from the lab. Man what a surprize to find 3 of you profs sitting right behind u with families n all after all the hungama we had created!!! They didn't think we'ed be this type even in their dreams i guess... but surpirzingly they turned out to be so cool about it all....such fun was it.... i think i would not have had so much fun with any other bunch of ppl.... If ur a girl, i suggest u let ur guy go and enjoy this movie with a bunch of guy friends .... as for u, u can just get a disk and watch it ... coz the sentiments that are expected when ur arnd will totally ruin it for him. The songs are just too good, i've been listening to them since this morn... just the same band all thru and its almost like they arrive from nowhere to suddenly relieve the tense mood in the movie... Don't go there to get emotional... not worth it!! Not everyone in a Metro leads such a life... but yeah u could say 'Life is a B****!' ... But I'd say, Life is what u want it to be! Live it or leave it, U wont get another!!!! Singapore is another Metro so far away from Bangalore (My Home)... but I think Life in all metros is the same... just how u lead it!! Overall.... just watch the movie, realise how different it is, how differently u can see it and move on.....

No Kidding...

Was reading through an orkut profile of an old friend and saw this poem... although it's really all about him i thought it held true for most of us... me included... a tribute to u SNB! For all the years that have passed through I sit to think of time gone by Of love i shared, of things i did i never dared Of things which taught me, which bought me and those that caught me unaware But here is a new day to hear and speak To see and to be me what the future holds God alone knows In every happening his puzzle shows No matter what cards are dealt to me I promise to myself that i will make the best of it for my own sake For happiness and sadness are a part of life I'm no different from people who like to fight ...like to strive To be the masters of their lives The goal I choose The path i use Is what makes me I Know I'm not perfect..as much as i want to be This what i am ..this is what i want to be This is all about me Time to get to work !!
