Monday Blues

There are times when everything goes bad, everyone starts behaving like everyone else, and you just don't like it! Everything just, burns up inside u, it piles up, n just a spark can make it blast. But u gotta learn how to bring it down n just not make it public, because then it just gets worse!!

Tomorrow, again college.. and i've got the monday blues!! i really really don't wanna go to college!! i don wanna meet anyone, i don't wanna see anyone's face!!!

i wanna go to chandigarh!! its been ages!!! i dont even remember when i last went home. This must be the longest time duration that i havent been home. I'm sick of eatin food on the bed, i want a dining table. i'm sick of lying on this cot like bed. i want a proper matress. I'm sick of doing my laundry!! and am sick of the tiffin wala food!!!!!

Plz plz plz............. help me someone!! make things better!!1 make every1 understand what i feel!

Aint no sunshine when "he's" gone

Aint no sunshine when she's gone
Its not warm when she's away
Aint no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just aint no home
Anytime she goes away

Thats the original soundtrack from Notting Hill, and thats the similar situation me and my roomie, Harry are in at the moment... just a teeny weeny difference is that instead of a "she" its a "he", hold on to your horses everyone... nothing of the sorts you people think at the moment, we both are totally and completely straight!! Its just that "The Gorav" is too fun a guy not to miss!

So lets see, he went away yesterday, and we haven't had a hearty laugh since! Its been a normal day for a change without him. We had nothing to do in college, we had nothing to do after college.. we came, we slept and it was so boring without our neighbour!! Had nothing to do. Dinner, which is usually at Gorav's place amidst loud roars of laughter, was subdued today, even the food wasnt good!

Tomorrow's gonna be a hectic and compromising day, timings have to be perfect for everything to go in order. And most probably Gorav will be back day after!![:)] till then its no sunshine, errr... loads of sunshine though... its bloody hot!! hot as hell!!! where are the rain gods?? when is winter gonna come??????? we're baked in this room!! cant take it no more!

WiFi Hotspot

Finally!! Broadband! our room is finally a WiFi hotspot!!

The day was terrible, got a Punjab Roadways bus to delhi, after 5 hours of bumps n grinds..we get off at ISBT, walk a long way to McD's... the luggage was killing us!! next time around, i'm travelling light! some feeding done at McD's n we're off again with no idea of where to catch a Faridabad bound bus.. We walk all over inside ISBT, just to get to know that busses for faridabad will be available from across the road.. thank god there was a foot over bridge and god bless sheila dixit for installing escalators on them! so across the road, and we are standing like dumbheads, theres a bus for faridabad 50 mtrs away from us and we dont realise it.. finally we get to board a blueline to badarpur border. Dont even ask about the next 1 and a half hour.. it was terrible, it was exhausting, my luggage bag gave way and i had to carry it in both arms, we walked from badhkal flyover to our place, that must be a good 1 km, and with all the luggage thats saying something!! Thank god for the honda city guy who gave us a lift over the badhkal flyover, or surely we wouldnt have made it!
Completely exhausted and we enter our totally messed up room, dump the luggage and flat on our beds.. then its another hour of bathing, cleaning up n tidying everything in the room (mind you, we did a very good job.. the room looks so clean n fabulous now)... we lie down to rest, just 15 mins and theres an airtel guy on the door!!! We welcome him in and treat him like a demi god!! Finally after all those troubles and calls to the customer care centres!! half an hour of setting up everything and we are good to go!!!!!

This is my very first post through my new airtel wifi connection!! the speed is superb, 256 kbps really means 256 kbps! happy happy!! lappy n broadband, finally a reunioin!!!! after all the troubles throughout the day, the airtel guy put everything right and its a happy ending to the day!!

Living out, Two weeks in faridabad

Two weeks in Faridabad! Two weeks of a true bachelor life, two weeks of household chores (usually done with a lot of cribbing)... TWO WEEKS OF FREEDOM!

So, finally i shift base to a rented room in faridabad.. along with harry, my roomie. Both frustrated with living with grandparents, both yearning for bachelorhood, both wanting freedom in the true sense and both wanting a 24 X 7 net connection.. umm... the last thing is the first of the problems we've faced in the town.. the airtel services are at par with BSNL's... 2 weeks on and we're still waiting to be able to go online at our room!

First day in and we settle down, not having any idea of what we'd be requiring or wanting for the days to come. First morning and we realise there's no mirror in the house (not even a glossy reflecting surface), and harry has to tie his turban. So being in the tech age that we are, we innovate. What better use to put the 2mp webcam to than using it as a real time mirror!

After a fortnight, we've kinda settled down. We've fallen into a routine and have a list made out of all the required things..Namely, a mirror, an electric kettle or cooker(to get warm water to gorge on those MTR's ready to eat meals), an almirah (to dump our stuff into and get rid of all the mess scattered everywhere). There's a customary visit to the local departmental store everyday for the stuff required, initially the list consisted of brooms and mops and dish washing liquids and scrubs and detergents and stuff..
Talking of detergents!! Damn, washing clothes is one hell of a job!! i followed the instructions as it is on the back of the pack and ended up all messy and it took me more than an hour to get a few clothes washed (it was the first time in my life that i washed clothes). Plus washing clothes is one problem, there's another tension of letting them dry, the weather hasn't been the best to dry clothes you know!!

Ok, so now we have an unofficial algo to shop at the deptt store, the first stop is the biscuits counter. then we're off browsing stuff... looking at the corner with all those cold drinks and squashes and iced teas longingly.. we manage to extract ourselves from that corner without putting anything in the cart! Then its the milk products, with cheese and breads for breakfast, we're still trying out different cereals and will finally decide on one. Stuff here and stuff there and that's our shopping for the day!

yea, we've finally stuck to a mess guy for delivering dinner to our place. The dominos people now know our house very well, two weeks and two deliveries.. we're still trying our luck to get a free pizza!

Living out on your own has a lot of pros, but only if you can handle the daily chores and routines well!! we're still in beta phase and testing out! will get into a groove very soon!
