Got listed to Google!!!
28/04/2002
At last, my site is listed in Google and Yahoo. might be becos of my submission or due to links put up in jai's or deepak's sites. thanks guys, for adding me in ur links... being a sunday, i simply visited few houses just for the heck of it. and i talked and talked for hours, of course, drinking juices, eating their chicken preparations, and what not...

tasted the first mango, which we grow, of the season.

and wrote the poem Turnarounds. 

literary days
27/04/2002
2 novels in 2 days after months of drought. Finished The veteran by Frederick Forsyth and The Guide by R K Narayan. Pretty good, both of them, as expected, going by the previous ones of the authors.

finished "In its remembrance"
26/04/2002
finished the poem In its remembrance the other day. really regret for not learning some kinda musical instrument or some dance.... well, at least i write poems (if they can be called as poems!)

Only formals - my foot
24/04/2002
our coll really stinks.... the latest rule - Only formals!!!! oh no, first they put up god damn gates and restricted entry to only those who wear those silly ID cards, as if all of us are dogs over there.... now this... and i think there is no way to protest, the HOD just tells its the decision of the management and who is the management, some inaccessible guy with stinking ideas!

ok for those who r new, here r some of our coll's hostel rules:
no entry into even boys' hostel, not even for parents! no mobiles allowed in hostel. shud not wear shorts even in hostel rooms - there r instances of princi barging into rooms, inspecting those sleeping!! carry ID cards even to mess, else no food!

thank god i am not in the hostel. but even in corridors, those lowly attenders and sweepers also have the audacity to behave like lords.... all in the name of a crackpot in high seat..

well for me, i was sent home once, since i came to coll wearing a panche (long cloth draped round legs - my ethnic dress), though i had this valid reason of being in Lord Ayyappa's maale.

more on clothes : these fools are averse even to ethnic day, jazzy day and what not....

results
22/04/2002

18/04/2002

14/04/2002

13/04/2002
oh, i am feeling soooo happy. i did a great deed today. its 11:30pm today and i have just come back from Ulsoor. 4 hrs of my time, put to good use..... ok, why am i feeling happy? happy for riding some 35 kms, having brainstorming discussions, without dinner (i will go wash myself and then have dinner after i finish typing this....) till midnight, tiring myself out, instead of the comforts of cushy home? am i doing good to others to satiate my desire to help others? means, am i doing it for myself? well who cares, as long as i feel great and in also does good to others, why shouldnt i?

anyway, its telugu new year and the obattu (holige in kannada) of my cousins place was great. i didnt have had lunch as my stomach was full of obattus!!!!!!!!!! 

and ya, i got my passport today and i am the first person in my father's clan to have one!!!!! ( not considering my 2 sisters)

and, wrote the poem Rested flows the previous night.... my first work on some serious ribaldry.

k, feeling hungry, midnight, boooohoooooo, should serve myself as moms asleep....

Yawn........
11/04/2002
These few days are going just the way i want living to be, the way i define it and aspire to live by it. wow, its grt.

have u seen stone layers from rajastan, carpenters from uttar pradesh, road layers from tamil nadu and sewage cleaners from andhra? well, too many things to tell that i will definitely bore one. anyway, saying of the day : "Money is like water". pop told this to encourage thrift in me, but......... i ..... cant blame him, he wants me to be like him, spartan. it seems he drew up tens of buckets of water from well before going to his medicine coll. even now, he can walk tens of kms no end. come on, i dont have that energy......

Is this a day?
10/04/2002
Woke up by Kiran's phone call at 11:30 pm the previous day! Agian slept, woke up, slept and woke up. Dont know what I did for 7 waking midnight hours but it was 7:30 and only 4 hrs more for Operational Research test. Off to Darshan's to learn. Helped in getting him scoldings from his mom, by telling that I drink 2 big tumblers of milk daily. and she tells that he has become thin! 

Been to my cousin's business adda. grt that hes doing very fine financially and he is just 2 months older than me. and when I go to Greenpitch to play cricket, none of college boys there!

hmmm had a long chat with my sis, went to gre tuition and convinced him that i will be coming to next batch also (i atttend just 10%), shopped hardware for some 3 hrs, cleaned my room, took bath and now the time is 1am the next day! (its 25 hrs without sleep)

Tip : when u r in some narrow congested road and the time is some 9pm and autos moving slowly for hire, shout "auto". they will stop by the side and u can easily overtake them!

My bike's rear wheel
08/04/2002
My bike's rear wheel is getting too much attention. In the last 4 months its had something like 4 punctures, 3 wheel alignments, 2 tube changes! Its also involved in 2 skids in last 5 months, one leaving a scar on my right hand, and other almost claiming my life (but I came out of it with a scar on my chest - surprisingly just a scar and really nothing more, not even a bruise) and body pains for poor Jaggu!

"Empty" day
07/04/2002
One of those characteristic days of mine which I can call "empty days". Don't know why, but my mind perhaps would have decided prior not to do anything. Will feel bored, not doing anything, but when I take up something, somehow I convince myself that this can be done later. Wont even feel like going out, sitting at home, eating chocolates,  water and spicy stuff..... and well, not even sleeping, since I dont sleep during daytime.

But i somehow like these days, when I can find lotta time to ponder over myself, which i enjoy the most.

Doing what I despise
04/04/2002
I wont take medication even for viral fever, let alone cough and sore throat. But am forced to take antibiotics for this irritating acne. well, no choice. Really wont do what I dont like and but go right-ahead in what  i think correct and feel like doing. But sometimes, one should learn not to rebel.

Its Megha's b'day. poor her, she's moving out soon.

Satchi's b'day
02/04/2002
Its Satchi's birthday and a food at La Casa with the college gang.

3 coconut trees
01/04/2002
Its been going around that coconut trees are sacred and its desirable to plant another one somewhere else if an existing one needs to be cut. Had to do away with 3 coconut trees in my house. oh no, the trouble taken, dont ask. Had to ask in many temples if they had place to accomodate the transplanted ones. Finally the job's  done. But I have to add another chore to my itenary. Have to water a tree till it can sustain itself (maybe for 1 more month) which been transferred to Shiva temple in Elephant Rock park. but its a pleasure to trouble self, when it can please my mom.

Why cant we revere all trees. Get bugged when I read that trees are felled for widening of roads. With a little extra effort, they can be transferred somewhere else.
