Arbit post and a stupid survey!!!

Mood:Happy
Music:Tanha Dil-Shaan

Good morning people. So how is life going? Hope its going on smooth and fine:) Ah thanks to all the people who commented on my last post( and slaps to those who dint:p) Really thanks a lot:)

Ok since nothing is happening in my life worth mentioning, this is going to be another stupid post. So hold on to your breath. Make sure you have the oxygen cylinders by your side. Make sure your windows are open*Shut up, CC!!*...

Now I think most of you know that I have been blogging since last August. Over this period of time, I have visited many blogs and honestly speaking, I lost the count..err..ok ok I never counted:p. But still I have visited many blogs and I have seen others attitude towards life. I have read couples breaking up and coming back together. I have read about proposing. I have read about College daysa nd first week in a particular class. I have read about Love. I have read about social issues which needs our attention. Overall it has been a wonderful time.

So I am just trying my best to scribble down some points about different blogs and bloggers. Since I am not so good with stats and dont have the resources either to conduct a survey, so this is just an random unofficial survey of the blogs I have visited till date. If you have free time, please do read and if you dont have free still READ IT!! buhaha

#Most of the bloggers know about the basics of HTML.
#All the bloggers know how to insert Links and Images in their post(Though exceptions are there)
#Few bloggers update on a daily basis.
#The usual frequency of posting in non-regular blogs is usually around 2 per week.
#Some bloggers transit from the 3rd point to the 4th point over a period of time.
#The number of blogs since August'03 had gone up tremendously over the past 8 months.
#Majority of the blogs use Nedstat counters, followed by Sitemeter counters. Bravenet and Haloscan counters are also found.
#Tagboards or Shoutboxes can be found in most of the blogs though the later is found in more larger numbers on blogs
#Most of the bloggers from India prefer to Rediffblogs over Blogdrive or anyother blogging space.
#They are boycotting foreign blogs servers:p
#Most of the present bloggers dint even knew about the existence of blogs.
#They came to know about it through chat friends or through those, who luckily knew about blogs.
#There is a slow but steady increase in young bloggers.
#Previously the blogworld was mainly dominated by people who worked in offices or who had done their post graduation.
#Majority of the bloggers are creative and have an excellent skill of writing.
#Majority of the bloggers can also write superb poems which are out of the world(sometimes out of my head as well..hehe:p)
#I wonder that why are those people who write good poems are blogging instead of publishing the poems??
#Many bloggers write arbit posts rather I should say serious stuff and only intellects who can understand them
#Slowly and slowly IITians, NITians are making out a space for them in this online world.
#Not to forget people from IIM.
#In all the major cities a bloggers meet has been conducted, where it is has been a success.
#Except for Kolkata bloggers meet. I am talking about success in the terms of headcount.I am sure the people who met for CBM had a rocking time!!
#Few bloggers have formed families.. I mean they consider other bloggers as Son, Daughter, Aunt..etc etc..which is a good thing:)
#Few bloggers dont bother to maintain the line between private and public life. For them privacy doesn't exist.
#The concept of adding songs to the blog isnt much in use.
#There are some non-bloggers who dont blog but regularly read other blogs.
#These non-bloggers get inspired and start a blog of their own.
#Some people have great fun about bitching people, criticizing their post, abuse them.
#These people do blog, but just dont have the guts to leave their URL's behind
#Some of the male bloggers think that they are some sort of hunk, and tend to snatch the limelight from the others.
#Same with the female bloggers.
#Some of the bloggers emotionally attach themselves to their blogs, which is the most stupid thing to do.
#Through blogs most of the people make new friends..who go on to be their best friends.
#Few make enemies.
#Bloggers of a particular city SUCK like anything.But exceptions are there:)
#Every 1 of 5 people who read the above points will believe in them.
#The other 4 SHOULD also believe in the above points or I am going beat them black and yellow...lol

Thanks for tolerating me:)!!!!

I wish all my labour and non-labour friends a happy Labour Day.

My selection exams ended last Friday. They went pretty well as compared to my last internal exams. Few of the marks have been declared. Did fairly well as compared to the class highest and my counterparts except in Marketing Management. I agree that my exam wasn't that good but at least, I think, I didn't deserve a measly 22 out of 50. I was expecting something around an odd 30 or so. But never the less, nothing much can be done now.

Saturday was quite terrible and to a great extent I can be blamed for the whole incident. I wouldn't like to go into details of it.

Sunday, though, was quite a relief. Saturday was MA's birthday. Since he couldn't give the birthday treat on Saturday, it was decided unanimously that Sunday will be the treat day.

The day started off fine till the great Schumacher of Kolkata was pinned down by fever. I could easily anticipate an expenditure of more than 100 bucks for the taxi fare. I was supposed to meet SM at the Mullick Bazaar crossing. He told me that he didn't know the way to the restaurant, where MA was supposed to give the treat, as the metro was not running on Sunday. While going towards the restaurant, SM wanted to meet his counterpart. I had no other choice, but to wait. She came after a lot of "across-the-road" calls. He couldn't go to her house because her parents didn't like him much. The counterpart's family is very conservative. That's what I have heard. But she is very cute and both of them are blissfully in love.

After they bid farewell to each other we started walking towards the restaurant. We bought a Cappuccino (forgot the spelling :p) cake for MA. It was quite costly as compared to the size but it was really good.

Initially we had planned to go and have food at Bar-B-Q, but then we settled for Flavours of China, the Chinese counterpart of Bar-B-Q. The food is pretty decent there. We had chilly baby corn for starters, followed by Hakka noodles, Fried rice and Devils chicken. I thought Devils chicken would be flaringly hot, but it tasted quite like sweet and sour chicken.

After settling the bill we started walking towards Forum via Middleton Row. MA made a caustic remark when I refused to have a cigarette. Some people tend to make such remarks when others don't mend their way of living according to their needs. I let the whole matter pass.

On our way SM and I had some juices. MA and SM (another friend who had joined us) went to have some beer. We met at Forum. MA got tickets for Gangster. Both the SM's couldn't join. In the mean time we devoured the yummy cake at the food court. The cake was really good and it surpassed my expectation.

After SM left, MA and I went to Crosswords as we had ample time to waste. I picked up a book called Freakonomics (I presume this was the spelling). I had heard a lot about the book, so was going through it. I was missing NS so I gave her a call and talked to her for sometime. She was at City Centre then and was leaving for her uncle's new place near Kankurgachi (that's how she described it to me).

MA and I then came back to Forum and entered the movie hall. The movie is very good. The female protagonist, Kanga Raunat, did quite a commendable job. Shiney Ahuja and kisser boy Emraan Hashmi didn't have to put in much of hard work.

The movie was over by 8.10 pm or something. I took a bus back home, though mom has insisted on taking a cab. I wasn't really keen on spending another 100 bucks.

I came back home, took my bath, had my dinner. I loved the song Ya Ali from the movie and downloaded it from the net. I have also downloaded the song Bheegi Bheegi from the movie and downloading another song. The songs are quite good except for one song, which I can't recall now.

I called up NS late at night. She was feeling very uncomfortable staying at her parent's place plus I couldn't hear her properly over the phone, maybe because dad's mobile sucked or she wasn't talking properly (maybe how she was holding her phone or something else). She shouted and simply hung up after saying bye. Sometimes I am hurt and offended by her behaviour towards me. I hope she realizes my needs and wants from her.

Someting else also happened..read on...So were just standing outside waiting for her to arrive. She sms-d me telling that she will be there in another few mins and I was standing right outside. Few girls entered and exited. I was really confused. I had a thin memory of Megs face and I had a hard time recalling it. Now a girl in black top did enter but with a guy. Suddenly then Megs called up and inquired about my whereabouts. She told me that she was inside Barista( how did I miss her????????) She was also in a black top. Now I just wondered if she was the same one who entered with a guy. Why did she come with a guy? I came with a friend since I was new to delhi...and other blah blah questions came into my mind. I told her that I am standing outside Barista. Then she came out and this time I did recognise her..thankfully,phew!!! But for the first two minutes, I was bit hesitant in approaching her as this was the 3rd time meeting a girl( First time I met a girl, it was a terrible experience, Second one was far better than the first one). My friend pushed me towards her and I started to walk towards her. I was really really nervous about her reaction. What if she said " OH you are CC..get lost I dont wanna meet u!!" and those types of things:p. I went and stood behind her. After 2-3 seconds she turned back and looked at me. Now what I think was that she was either Shocked to see me or Happy to see me. I think she was shocked( but she dint admit it later also that she was shocked:(( ) So we entered the cafe and sat for about 15 mins. We dint talk much about our personal life's or anything, but she did tell me about her bad experience with a UK guy and I think she learnt from the previous exp and tackled(?) me well:p

She showed me her tattoo, which was as usual stupid:p.

Now about 15 mins of meeting and 7 mins of phone talk, it's not enough for me to know a person in and out. But what I could understand that she was a sensible girl(though she may appear to be out of her brains on her blog:p). After 15 mins she had the U -are-a-bore look on her face:p..so I think of leaving her alone and getting away as she had to meet another friend as well.

PS-- I call her NS sometimes...Though she she should be MS...well N technically comes after M...I know it sounds absurd, but its me then...lol

The month of April is coming to an end. I am sitting in front of my computer and looking at the screen. No, I think I am looking at the computer throught the translucent dust. There is a small patch of something on my screen which doesnt go away, even after washing with the famous COLIN( I think thats how they spell it?). After 7 or 8 months of blogging, I am bored. I dont feel like writing anymore. I am better off reading other blogs.
Few months back, I was on a yet another round of blog-hopping. On a particular blog, whose colour was Green and dark green and probably from Mumbai or Delhi. If memory doesnt fail me, I think it was Elaichi Chai's blog. There was a Bravenet poll.
" You like to read blogs which tell about.."
The options I can recall right now are
1. Day-to-Day life
2. Random thoughts
3. Political Articles
4. Jokes.

I wasn't amused by the highest number of votes or clicks going to "Day-to-day Life". I wont decline from the fact that I dont like reading day-to-days happenings in other people's life as I try to relate myself to those posts. I search solutions for my problems in those posts, if those bloggers found any. But in vain. I never found a satisfactory solution. I know that I should solve my problems by myself.

"Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end"

Just looking at my surroundings, A watch lying around which needs a battery change and I am thinking of changing it from last december. A tower of cd's. Yes, a tower of cd's Must be about 250-300 cds, the mobile phone staring at the ceiling. The book 'tower' stands taller than the CD tower.(CC: Lord of twin tower's). I can see the seconds hand of the Swatch watch,kept on the study table, ticking. While Bryan Adams shouts along with the chorus, :
" The only thing I want,
The only thing I need,
The only thing I chose,
The only thing looks good on me ...is YOU"
while the house maid keeps blabbering about her routine in her ever digusting voice and tone and cursing "Chotto Bhai"(younger brother , thats me) playing the music loud. Hey not my fault. Curse the 6000W system which my bro bought when he was here.
Now the kid molester MJ shouts" Blood on the dance floor!, Blood is on the knife"(Thank god MJ is sitting miles from me, and I will be a proud Adult this July. Hoping to have a bash this 18th birthday.( As far as I can recall, I had a proper birthday party few years back...no..many years back). Since then it has been a quiet affair. Just four of us. But last year my brother wasnt here, so we were three.

Time has changed. I have changed. Dad and mom changed. My brother changed. My address changed. My number changed. Nothing is constant. Only change is constant. Life isnt constant. We have to face different circumstances in life and deal with them.

"Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way."

Ok I think I am talking too much of crap nowadays. As Sonica said its a bore to read me *draws an illegal AK-47 from the cupboard and polishes the gun*
In case you are thinking I am feeling low or something minutely related to that term, sorry to disappoint you but you are wrong.

CC's meaning of some height's of activties:

Height of Laziness:
Feeling cold as the AC is on. But not bothering to switch the AC off even the switch is a hand's stretch away. Instead takes the blanket, and shiver in the cold, waiting for some divine power(Dad or mom) to get up at 3am and help this stupid soul.

Height of Stupidity:
Dialing a wrong number absent mindedly and arguing with the receiver at the other end, over the authencity of the number I dialled.
Calling at X's place, and asking for Y, though X took the call.(Where X & Y are my friends)
Doing 1*1=2 and not 1.
Taking a bath with specs on and not realising until the vision is "soapy"(culdnt find an apt term ) and celebrating with joy as there is no eye irritation even though the foam is "inside" my eyes and thanking god for superhuman capabilities.
Reading last week's newspaper and predicting whats written in an article..predictions become true. Thanking god again for Superhuman capabilities without realising that newspaper is old:|

PS: IF you find me on anyother blog or on this blog abusing or talking shit to someone, dont think that I have a twin brother. Its me only, as my intentions are cruel now;)
