remembrandt

(NOTE:anybody wondering what remembrandt means, it does not mean anything, neither the thing written below does for those who dont figure in it, for those lucky ones, i hope it doesnt do any harm)

i just remembered,

hathi's jokes,
mohit's robe
neha's rants,
dishas taunts
sonakshi thinks shes a teddy
and paarth is never ready
atuls car
mahajan's pyar
girls making saurabh go round
bhumika's increasing count
nitin's wit
& ruchika's lack of it.
nawanshu's mirth
o dont forget, nidhi and prerna's flirts
meghashyam, akshay, yachika, mehakinder, movin,sumant etc al's brains
the rest of us, we wont ever change .D

the year back

dear blog, (cheezy hmm ?)
thou hath served thee well in thine purpose. (ok, enuf british literary reviews, getting to the point)
The year is ending and the blog has given a sense of happenings around myself for the past year, apart from the missing activity of november and december, which i am sorry about, but could do much about because of my attention is more diverted towards the photoblog i regularly update, www.ankitj.co.nr .
The resolution of the last year were to write something everyday which i couldnt do but still i was able to give some sense of direction to my thoughts discussing about random things which had some affect in our lives. i have grown up in the year with newer experiences and newer goals to make for the next year.

for those who liked the blog, i am sad to tell that this is the end of it. its the end of a perfect decade of living a vibrant meaningful life and the start of a new role with more responsibility, more experiences to come and more goals to conquer. i have believed always that there is just one thing that separates you from the rest and that is the brain. no more philosophy, i hope you get the message.

what do i have to tell ? not much actually. some experiences here and there which i would start blogging in the new blog, www.ankitin10.blogspot.com (if the webpage is untaken) . i ask you if you have any things which deserve my views on, anything from lovelife to gravitodynamics (thats geeky, though), from tension in isreal to the serene calm of bora bora (i dont know much about it though).
its good to enter discussions and i ask you if u have something on your mind and want to discuss, gimme a buzz so that we start filling pages of our new found blog.

bye bloggie,
i would return here in the next century 3009 again. (now that sounds like rebirth)

Importantly, THERE ARE NICE CHICKS >> but then, (o its the same) they are already hooked up ... getting it everyday...

2days 3nights

9th, Friday, It was my first London sight. waking up to see the dawn, the perfect greys all throughout and the sun trying to pierce it. then the trees .. lots and lots of trees. yellow ones, green ones and red ones tooo ... more than chandigarh itself. . :)

The place is amazing, go on to http://maps.google.co.uk/ and search " 72 Sterling Pl "
(complete address is 72, sterling place, south ealing, london. thats my home ! ).

The first days my feet felt numb in this cold environment however i've adjusted to the new temperatures. There are lots of people of different nationalities, i've been able to interact with a british, nigerian, mexican and couple of indians. there are lots of chinese too, but they prefer goin in packs. i've met french, german, italian, polish and a mauritian guy as well . plus i just met the most beautiful girl i'd have seen in clayponds, a greek (she did not know what contraceptives are, anyways, that later :D ).

My first reaction of my college was very different. Seeing so many people coming in and out of the college but you knowing not even one of them. The feeling just runs in your mind when you just 3 months ago knew everyone in and out in the college. Trivial. The college has its share of brilliant architecture, alongwith the location of it. There are lots of embassies and other 'posh' stuff outside the college and when you come inside, its nothing less. but 1 frank confession. i've seen IIT campuses and you cannot compare this to the infrastructure i loved in IIT kharagpur. the place was huge ! but then this is smaller. but probably more organized.

Anyways, the london weather is something to fall in love with for a few like me but dull for the rest. it drizzles and becomes cold to make u feel romantic the whole day. the ephemeral januaries and februaries of india is the october i am loving and i hope its the same the whole season.

The next day was more exciting with a trip to kew gardens, wait for pictures of those. its a world heritage site and one of the best botanical gardens i've seen. brilliant way to get a person excited about botany and floral life. a must visit for anyone interested in nature !

I feel sleepy to write nice things in detail. i guess thats enuf. in short, The days have been busy, i hope to have settled in time for my classes to begin tomorrow.

2days 3 nights-prologue

Yes, i have spent the london 'vacation' for 2days and 3 nights. I've unpacked settled in and done most of the things to be done at home. Just the college formalities etc need be done.
Now, then, for those curious ones back home, here's my itinerary.

7th was the day i was born according to Gregorian calendar. The circle was complete after finishing my 22 years, and i am again going to be reborn for a new life, a new place and a new aspiration.
when I was shifted from stomach to a hospital bed or something, i was in a hospital and probably the next day i was transported back to my place in Chandigarh. now, I was transported from my home in chandigarh to Delhi and the next day i would be shipped to London with a 40 Kg necessities i have accumulated for these 22 years.
Relatives came to see me and i received phone calls from everywhere. the difference in the 22 years was that now more people to greet me and i have met new people which know me not because of my parents but because of me. I've made friends, good ones, caring ones and some not-so-caring ones. But, i've grown. there is a difference.. or is it ?

i met my sister for the 1st time after being born (she was 10) now i met her after a long time on 7th and she had a 7 year old toddler. the sad part begins tomorrow as this rebirth is taking things from me, after being born and brought up in a family, which was always thinning out, (as in first a joint one, then only the parents, children and grandparents . and now to only parents and grandparents... the children are gone. it feels sad to say this )

ok.. anyways, the birthday was a random sorts this time. some people telling me happy birthday and then finding out about my plan to go for further study while the rest saying me bye and finding out I had a birthday today. anyways, it was the centre of attraction (But then this karva chauth reducing some of it).

8th and early morning i was supposed to leave at the airport, check in and stuff. The plane started 30 minutes late but then the whole journey was great. the crew at virgin is wonderful and warm and so were the people aboard it. Then came london at 8:00 PM (i landed around 6:20'ish but then health checkup etc took some time too. ) i was anxious about the whole process at heathrow the whole time but then it happened very comfortably and smoothly.
The anxiety was also for the question of how to reach my hostel at clayponds and get a room in it. but then things just happened. heck, i even got milk from a friend's place to help me survive the night for the next morning .
more later ......

Shouting out loud.

what have i been upto ? (well on this blog, nothing actually, but i know that i have made here and there posts which i never had the time to publish it .. so they are drafts only)

the time is ripe to shout out loud.

I am going to london day after tomorrow.
My birthday is going to be in transit in delhi. why ? i'm going to study for masters degree in analogue and digital circuit design. the whole september/august etc were planning, anxiety and nervousness regarding that but now everything seems sorted out. Its like a factory whose land has been bought, the machines all ready and 8th is the day of the mahurat. The game intensifies later when we have to manage it and produce our product, so its not a sigh of relief right now. ok enuf bullshit u get the idea.

Birthday blues .. ahh yes .. this one is the most 'ROCKING' ones of all the birthday's i've ever had.
How does it feel when 50% (or more) of indian women hold a fast for your good health ??
see, people fast for god and tomorrow, its my day .. they are not fasting for the god they want to please .. but ME. with this stupid notion, i urge all the women in the world to fast tomorrow to stand up in the already existing queue of girls wanting to get me.. swayamwar again .. thank god its not on TV. sadly, i dont think i'm interested in seeing up people in the queue anymore.

regarding girls, o yea .. see the philosophy of the lifetime is 'aaj pooja kal koi dooja'. but then what happens if you have seen lots of pooja's and now dont want a dooja ??? well thats the question. ok i am not making any sense. i guess i should stop it now.

PS: u are definately wondering what bullshit is this .. i just wrote that piece of text in like 6 mins. so sorry for the crappy editing.
