Can't Think of Any!

How do u feel when u r pissed off? well thats how am feeling right now!!! Don't ask me why; for I can't tell u... and i have a gut feeling am gonna feel like this a lotta times in the coming few months...well I hop to God am wrong...coz frankly speaking it aint a good feeling...when u r frustrated, but u can't tell anybody; when u want to do something and some mere mortals come up with the most unexpected excuses n hindrances...trust me u wont like being in this position...

Dilemma!

I have to study... should study... rather must study.... but don't feel like it!
any suggestion??? c'mon ppl... someone out there must have felt like me...
Oh God why do exams exist! and if they do why are the subjects so mundane....

Void

Hmmm i don't know how to put it... but ever since NATCONG 07, something has changed... I am not able to pinpoint it but something is definitely not the same... I don't feel that comfortable sitting and doing nothing... the college activities seem even more mundane than they used to be... i want to be constantly subjected to challenging environment, an environment which tests me and my capabilities... there's a void... a void which I somehow do not know how to fill...i guess that's it... I am not sure as to what i want to say more...
adios!

NATCONG 07 Kodaikanal

Ohk... so the days of brainstorming, the nights of partying have finally come to an end. Well trust me it was one helluva of an experience. Imagine... your sirst national conference and on the first day you get to elect the new MCP!!!
The experience was totally different from what i had expected; the MC were also humans, easily approachable, friendly; high fliers from Jaipur were as easy to talk with and the enthusiasm of the new kids of kochi n indore was mind blowing!
Now its all over; the sexy kodai weather, the tasty kodi chocolates, that lovely rxperience of boating on the lake in semi darkness, the uncomparable experience of driving down the hill, with the clouds beneath us, its all over, but not for ever.
Such experiences will come, if not kodaikanal it would be some other place... but it will surely come back! and how can i forget the impact that it has on my personal life! not only it increased my social circle tremendously i made some really close friends in this week. the care that we showed for each other when one of us was sick, really makes my eyes go wet now...
i can go on and on like this... but i guess its time to stop and savour those sweet and bitter memories...

Delhi Trip!!!

Roboze 1.0

Ah...a new day! And that too a Sunday. Sunday marks the beginning of a new week, but this sunday has been really special. For as the clock ticked towards the first day of the week, we (Sobu n me) were busy working on creating something new! Not new as in inventing something but indeed new in the sense we had never done anything like that beofre. What we were actually doing would be accurately described by "assembling the geared motor set for our robot." And since then there was no looking back. When our day ended(when it was about to start for mere mortals, ie around 6 am) Akash, Sobu nd me had created the first model ofour robot, Roboze and I had the homour and privilege of christening as Roboze 1.0!!!(simply coz I was too excited to do anything else at that time!) Well that's it for now....just wanted to share wid u all the joy that one feels at creating something, the joy of one's own hard work!Till Roboze 1.1....

Thoughts

Thoughts...everyone has thoughts and I am no exception. Thoughts keep comin and going, its like an infinite loop; thoughts enter your mind, you muse over them for a while and then they exit, but not without creating some mischief. These swirling thoughts would sometimes leave you full of pleasure, and you'll feel as if you own the world. But more often than not they will leave you in a strange state. Now strange state is itself a a strange term to describe that state and this is the state I am in right now. Would I call it anxiety, perhaps no; worried no again; confused, another no! Its just that kind of a feeling when you don't really understand what's happening to you and if you do know that you have no idea as to why its happening to you!
Lost in this labyrinth of thoughts, one has to search for that guiding beacon which would help us emerge from this swirling mist. And that's exactly what I'm doing now. My present condition is one in which I for the first time am finding it tough to make a decision. For i know that whatever decision I make now will decide the course of my life for the few years at least. It may even define the course of my life but am not sure whether that's the case or not; and one should never make the folly of trying to look into the depths of future.
At this point, I'm truly alone. I have no one to and seek guidance from. My parents have since the beginning left all decisions to me. It was my decision to not to drop an year, it was my decision to choose this college and it has been my decisions that has brought me to this point. So why trouble them unnecessarily and besides I'm sure they won't be able to grasp the true sense of the situation, not that I doubt their ability; its just not their cup of tea. Now you would say what are friends for? Indeed thats what they are for! But whom would I ask; the guy whose opinion I respect the most is himself facing a dillemna, and I have neither the inclination nor the patience to explain my condition to those "wise people".
Under normal circumstances I would have taken up a good book and read myself to sleep and during the sleep a solution would magically appear. (not kiddin! it really works for me!)However as luck would have it I'm out of decent books right now so I did the next best thing: I just poured my heart out.Let's see if it works...

The Afghan by Frederick Frosyth

So the master is back! But is he really the master this time? From a debutant, The Afghan would have been considered a superb effort, but coming from the veteran of The Day of the Jackal and The Fist of God, it doesn’t quite arouse the same feelings! The book it seems swings between extremes, on some points one can detect the Forsyth magic at its work, but at others one can feel the lack of attention on the author’s part.

The storyline is current and in sync with the present world situation. It talks of a terrorist threat to the world that would even make 9/11 look insignificant. As the western intelligence agencies get wind of a possible catastrophe being planned by Al-Qaeda, they are desperate for more information. But who would provide it to them? For they have no moles in Al-Qaeda, and the secret is so well guarded that only the elite amongst the elite of the Al-Qaeda hierarchy actually know about it.

It’s impossible to plant someone in the Al-Qaeda unless they manage to pass of a westerner as an Afghan among the Afghans. Colonel Mike Martin is a 25 year old veteran of war zones, but more importantly is dark, been raised in Iraq and can pass as Izmat Khan, the true Afghan!

Is it possible for the British Colonel to pass of as a former senior commander of the Taliban? Does he have the potential to pass a test, the failure in which would surely guarantee a death ticket, but not before a journey through hell.

Forsyth has made references to the use of latest technology in the book and it seems that the modern thriller is going to have more of technology and less of the old-fashioned thriller stuff. However there are some glaring mistakes, mistakes which I feel a bit more of research and some good technical editing could have easily removed. One more thing which we as Indians would be especially interested in, Kerala has been referred to as providing a fertile place for Islamist extremism to grow!!!

On the whole I would say that The Afghan is surely not up there with The Day of the Jackal, but it does merit one reading.

Rating: 6/10
