My [S]Crap will go on.

The following 'song'/poem was featured in a scrap book requesting for 'Fraanship' and it was dubbed as the Orkut Song.. :O . A small indication of how desperate and innovative these people have become......

Every Time in My Orkut
I See You. I Scrap You.
That is how I know You go on.
Far Across the Scrap Book
And Testimonials Between us
You have come to Show Yourself "Single".
Near, Far, wherever You are
I believe that the Friends list does go on
Once More You logged on
And You're Here in My Scrap Book
And My Scrap Book will go on and on
Testimonials can Touch Us One Time
And Last for Sometime
And Never let go till we're Friends
Love was when I saw Your Friends list
There is Some Amazing Profile that will not
go away
One true time I Hold to
In My Life I'll Surely View Her/His Profile
You're Here, There's so Much to Fear,
And I Know That My Friend will Know I checked her/him out
We'll Stay Forever this way
You are Safe in My Friends List
And My Friends list will goes on and on



Why??? Why??? why this irresistible craving to have random slapdash friends of the opposite sex is beyond the realm of my imagination.

Whatever may be the reason...they are helping me to have a good laugh and provide some respite from boredom....sheesh.......

Blog Noted :D

I was ranting and cribbing about how my blog does not feature in the Blogs of note.But the last few days have been different.I have actually come to know that a lot of people are actually reading my blog and all those profile visits did not include my clicks... :D

A random comment from a unknown person,a friend's call just to say that he had read my blog,a few scraps from other online friends and a couple of anonymous comments...!! who cares if my blog does not feature in the Blogger Blogs of note...I remember Sindhu's comment..."Blog forth.Blog for yourself " :) how true...I realized i have my regulars and i needn't be worried about the hits...(Unless i have ADSENSE in the blog..which i think will feature in some time..sheesh the greedy human mind...)

Thank you all..My Blog has been NOTED :)


P.S About the anonymous comments.....Great..!!! i have had my imagination running wild,i am hoping that it is a sexy and shy girl who has had secret crush on me for a long time and has been following my activities since i was in high school....aaaaaha(with closed eyes and blissful smile)..how i wish that was true...

Trying for Poetic licence..

Poems...self proclaimed poets...!! aaargh....they are everywhere in blogspot.Any desi blog you click and voila..!! Poems and poets screaming about everything from love to politics,war and even inanimate objects.War...that seems to be the "in" theme to write about.Its not that i hate poetry,actually i enjoy poems.Its just that every time i see a blog dedicated to poems it kinda makes me feel bad that i have not tried it..yet... :D


So here goes ..

MY FIRST POEM


With the cursor blinking and my eyes twinkling ,

I stared into the screen actually blinking,

Disgusted that i dont have any inkling

towards writing poetry...


Jesus Christ..i will stop..i am pathetic at this...and my skill level at poetry is on par to that of a retarded chimpanzee.I accept defeat and concede that poets are truly great and it requires lots of skill to write poetry.

Incidentally, a poem by T.S Elliot is what made me start this blog..Probably i will give it a better attempt next time or mooch of a poem from the Web and pass it off as mine ... ;)

Buy Nothing Day---BND

Buy Nothing Day is an informal day of protest against consumerism observed by social activists. In 2007, Buy Nothing Day falls on November 23rd in North America and November 24th internationally. It was founded by Vancouver artist Ted Dave and subsequently promoted by the Canadian Adbusters magazine.

The first Buy Nothing Day was organized in Vancouver in September of 1992 "as a day for society to examine the issue of over-consumption." In 1997, it was moved to the Friday after American Thanksgiving, which is one of the top 10 busiest shopping days in the United States. Outside of North America, Buy Nothing Day is celebrated on the following Saturday. Despite controversies, Adbusters managed to advertise Buy Nothing Day on CNN, but many other major television networks declined to air their ads.Soon, campaigns started appearing in United States, the United Kingdom, Israel, Germany, New Zealand, Japan, the Netherlands, and Norway. Participation now includes more than 65 nations.

While critics of the day charge that Buy Nothing Day simply causes participants to buy the next day, Adbusters states that it "isn't just about changing your habits for one day" but "about starting a lasting lifestyle commitment to consuming less and producing less waste."

Where does India feature in this???(I have no idea,thats why i asked you). I came across this event in of the international blogs.Their main motive is a BUY NOTHING CHRISTMAS. Imagine a BUY NOTHING DIWALI..! India will be in tatters,riots and pickets will be the order of the day.

I have no personal view on the entire issue,its just another day in which i will definitely buy lots of cigarettes and refrain from buying expensive Gucci,Armani apparels,Ray-Ban glares,Rodenstock frames,Hugo Boss perfumes,Lacoste belts,Rolex watches,Calvin Klein underware and Porsche cars which i buy every day.

Talking about consumerism i remember this dialog from FIGHT CLUB(one of my fav movies) where Tyler(Pitt) convinces the Narrator on the evils of consumerism..

Where you are now you can't even imagine what the bottom will be like
Only after disaster can we be resurrected
It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything
Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake
You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else
We are all part of the same compost heap
We are the all singing, all dancing, crap of the world

You are not your bank account
You are not the clothes you wear
You are not the contents of your wallet
You are not your bowel cancer
You are not your grande latte
You are not the car you drive
You are not your fucking khaki's

You have to give up, you have to give up
You have to realize that someday you will die
Until you know that, you are useless

I say let me never be complete
I say may I never be content
I say deliver me from Swedish furniture
I say deliver me from clever arts
I say deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth
I say you have to give up
I say evolve, and let the chips fall where they may

Food for thought????

P.S It was obvious wasn't it? I'd have to sell my vital organs to learn to write like that with all the facts.

Mission -partly accomplished....

Yeah..!!! Success tastes GOOD.... :D. As you may notice i have successfully integrated a HTML chat code into the blog....HA...i did it all by myself ..!! (if you don count Ron from orkut who sent me the link).Well,what ever...i have done something 'innovative' by my standards...and it makes me feel good.....

*sheesh....what all lame stuff i have to do to reassure myself that my Engg Deg is not just a piece of paper*

Quest for the elusive template

i was browsing through the internet and i found a lot of good blogs which were very snazzy,glitzy and simply awesome.I looked at my template and thought i could add a few more stuff to the blog so that it is more attractive to the non existent reader (if you notice this blog has only about 90 views of which 85 are by me, checking for spelling mistakes etc after i post them.So.. i am not pretentious about the blog)There were some with really cool backgrounds and awesome fonts.I couldn't believe the amount of time and energy the bloggers spend.So i decided to add a bit more glitz to the blog by 'adopting' a new template and discarding my good old[?] MINIMA (which by the way sounds like the name of my previous servant maid :D)

Did i succeed??? OBVIOUSLY NO..!! Else you would have been looking at a flashy new template with Monica Belluci in the back ground flaunting her heavenly curves (Seriously..i tried to get this back ground but in vain). It turned out to be a tougher job than i thought it was.First i had to find a nice template(this is the easy part as google helps out :D ). Then comes the part where i have to change the back ground to a picture of my choice.It took a while for me to find out how to do that.In order to change the picture i needed an account in photo bucket,then upload the picture in 17" size,the copy the URL,paste it in the Script,copy the script and paste it in the template after choosing "revert to classic style".

Did i get the desired result??? NO..the picture i chose was of a very small size so the blog became spliched. Half of it in the picture and the rest in a blank background.I started to miss my MINIMA...By the time i realized i couldn't do it, four hours had gone by.

I was a bit hurt by the entire episode,being a IT graduate i couldn't change a simple HTML code to suit my needs.A small voice inside me creaked for the entire night and i couldn't sleep.It hurts when the bubble called ego is burst.But hey what the heck...i am happy with my MINIMA(i meant the template ;) ) and i dont want to cluster my blog with bullshit(incidentally isn't this blog about bullshit??? Ed overrules the argument).If i want to see Monica Belluci she is always there for me in my desktop...why again in the blog..?? Reassuring myself that this is trivial issue to lose faith in myself,i went to bed...then i remembered something i read when i was six years old.....the story of "The Fox and the sour grapes "......

FUCK YOU CONSCIENCE....i am still writing about it....and i will definitely learn how to custom make a template...!

Countdown begins..

I have been through the whole nine yards…been a moderately studious kid with lots of issues…slogged for my UG…worked my ass off for a job and now the long wait is technically over, just ten more days left for me to enter the corporate world and earn MONEY..!!! yeah that is what I have been dreaming for quite sometime now…face it…who doesn’t…I have been fantasizing of all the lavish stuff that I will be buying with first few bucks which will be entirely MINE…!! I can indulge, I can splurge money…(till now I have been able to only use those phrases in the negative form ) I can visualize myself owning an 180cc bike which cuts across traffic like a knife through butter, an awesome phone with all the features available in the market (I know this is not possible because phone companies always hold back some features just to make us buy again..Wretched bastards!) and a must-buy is a lava lamp. I don’t know why but I have always been fascinated by a lava lamp. It may sound stupid but I would definitely frame a life size poster of PINK FLOYD and hang it by my bedside.

While all these things excite me…there is this small disappointment that I have become an adult…well almost..(I still don’t know how to pay the bills, buy groceries etc..Now you know what my definition of an adult is). It is a difficult transition from a dependant kid who gets food when he comes home screaming “MOM I am hungry…!!” to a professional and having to ‘work’ for a livelihood.

It is a challenge that I am willing to take on…not that I have a choice..i am not one of those lucky bastards who get to continue to mooch off dad’s business till they are 40 and finally their kids start telling their tottler friends “my dad is a business man”…(aaah don’t mind me..i am just jealous :D ) It is inevitable, but I am still gonnna miss not paying for my bills henceforth..mooching off cousins who are working… :D Jey and niranjan..hope you are reading this… :D …aaaaaahhh that’s life…! being treated as a kid ,at times it is irritating when they don’t include you for serious talk...but it has its advantages of never opening your wallet… :D

In ten days I am going to be paying taxes, look at potential financial investments ( I never knew what it meant till some time ago..) and actually worry about debts, career choices, work pressure….phew…Scary….I hope I adapt well in to the wilderness called adulthood…

***DAD….!!! I need a new pair of shoes before I report to office..!!!***

Freaky Flesh..

i have been sitting jobless,doing nothing for the past one year now.While in college i was this puny fellow who resembled a big '1'.Well..that was my tag since i was 5 yrs old.I wanted to change that image,using this extended holiday and become "FAT".Yes...mad as it may seem..i wanted to be fat.Not exactly fat...i dint want to look like a shirt hanger when i wear formal shirts in office.So i began on this major lazy routine of eating,sleeping,beer,eating junk and no physical activity for about 8 months.

Fortunately or unfortunately it worked.My waist size has increased from 28 to 32(pushing 34).My body mass has increased from a mere 49kg to about 68kg now.There is a flip side to the entire " i wanna look hefty" idea of mine.I put on weight where i dint want to and i am still 'thin' in other areas.My body is like a developing country,with huge botches of poverty and some patches of wealth.

I started to have this freaky flesh thing under my chin.It is officially called as "chin fat" and is very very unhealthy.FUCK....it freaks the fuckin shit outta me...i cannot bend down and look at my toes without realizing that i have a extra 'bladder' hanging from my chin :( . I tried to do exercises. (errr....i assumed chewing gum is a exercise ) but..it dint work...the flab keeps increasing.Trust me i know..i have started having trouble looking at my toes .i can do it only with considerable effort now.

I think i will look this (left) in a years time..... :( FUCK...i miss being thin....

This is what i found in a medical related website..BASTARDS have a weird sense of humor and they made sure my bouts of insomnia continue.

"

Chin fat responds well to weight loss. Losing down to your doctor-recommended weight may just be the cure for that double or triple chin. If not, and if chin fat is disrupting to the individual, surgery may be a good solution.

The problem with chin fat is that in may instances of weight gain, the skin stretches and loses its elasticity and is unable to go back to its original state. The dieter is left with a wad of unsightly hanging skin which probably is more bothersome to them than to others - but bothersome it is. Nature has a way of doing things to remind us of our mistakes so that we think twice before repeating them. In some instances, we find it necessary to use available means to correct her unwanted presents. "

Have u seen "TAXI DRIVER" ??? De Niro vows to get his body with an awesome and inspiring dialog.
"I gotta get in shape now. Too much sitting has ruined my body.
Too much abuse has gone on for too long.
From now on it'll be pushups each morning.
Fifty pull-ups.
There will be no more pills, no more bad food...
no more destroyers of my body.
From now on it'll be total organization. Every muscle must be tight."

i have put this as my wall paper alongside De Niro's picture(Travis Bickel).i have taken a vow to exercise and lose the freaky flesh,from today the WAR starts between me and my body's destroyers.Freaky flesh may have won the battle..but i will win the war..!!! (did i get it right?? i always mix em up..)

Another one....sheesh....
