Nowhere to go????

It's been sometime since my last post..Fair enough,i haven't had anything interesting in life( not entirely true though,some days were interesting but for reasons i wouldn't blog;) ) I actually don't get too many topics these days. Am i undergoing a process of 'change' as person?? Now,coming to life currently, i have this 'I don't know where i am going' feeling all over my head. I mean there are a few in this side who i hear saying 'Dude, I've joined this GRE course.Looks like it is gonna be fun' and there is this other side where i hear few others saying 'CAT is good for people like us'. And there was this lecture this past week i attended, where a professor from IIT asked us to give GATE a try. Now that, did bring a bit of brightness into my dull life but the thing is i must thoroughly decide what i want to do. IT is surely not an interesting path as of now. But the question to which i must find an answer is,will i be able to do well in GATE. And to people who are still thinking SVCE is one heaven of a college, times have changed,sadly! My college is trying to bring in all these rules which most of the other colleges have, which i describe with the adjective silly. So life's boring and i am waiting for september 7th to lift my spirits;);)

'Cup kahinn tho janna padega'!!

I am one 'angry' fan as of now!

We have the best team that could possibly have put up a title defense,thanks to the IPL. But now, I feel like an idiot,having hoped that this team would bring the cup back.'Cup kahin tho jaanna padega'!All that potential on paper,that could blow off any opposition on its day.It's only sad that,we got our 'day' only in the practice match,against Pakistan.I would've been happy,if we had been gracious in defeat,at least,like Ireland,for instance.God knows what they could've done with a squad like ours!And am still wondering why i don't remember any 'short pitch stuff' planned on Raina in the IPL,when he's pathetically weak when the ball's directed towards his head.And i guess,Viru must be one happy man now.I still don't know if his injury is real or not,but i bet he would've done better against the short pitch stuff!And Dhoni. He's in the action during the matches alright.But sadly,more of that action is during the breaks,in the ads!I know its bad to praise a man when he wins and loathe him when he fails,still,i always thought Dhoni was overrated in everything he did.

But if there is on player who am happy about,it is Yuvi.He did show us his class,which he has in abundance.

To the best person on Earth!!

If it weren't for her,
We wouldn't be here.
She struggled for three hundred odd days,
just to see our tiny face.
We knew her first,
she made us know the rest.
She fought most part of her life,
just for us to have a good life.
If we don't repay it,
we're probably not worth her.
When we're happy,
she'll be there.
When we're in trouble
she'll still be there.
But when she's not there,
we'll be staring nowhere.
To my own mother,
And all the others',
One special day for a special person worth 365 such days.

Bucket list!!

It's been sometime since my last post!! What else to blame but,lack of time and topics!!And one reminder that am a football freak,the premier league is reaching its business end!!And it seems it is getting a bit too close for United's liking,but like one of ma friends says,its not as close as it looks!!How much i wish that could be false!!!!I wish it wouldn't be a clean sweep of titles by the Devils this time around..

Coming to normal things now,I've been watching lots of movies lately,apart from being 'addicted' to 'HEROES' TV show. The latest in that list...The Bucket List...I actually wasn't completely aware of the plot until i saw the movie,but downloaded it because of the 2 great actors it casts. And only 2 hours before seeing this one today,i saw 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest' and was indeed impressed by the younger Nicholson.So i decided to sit down and watch this movie,even though a friend of mine had said that it was a slow but meaningful story.It was exactly that.But it left me with one clear idea of what i might try to do in my later days! Am getting my list ready.'Driving a Gallardo', for one!!Ideas ,anyone???

Prisoner Of BIRTH..

Who isn't???!!! Have you ever thought,how different it'd have been had you been born a couple of seconds before in a completely different hospital??? We always can choose our Destiny,but what we choose is, more often than not,dependent on the people we meet and the way we're brought up!!So that just sums up why i think we're all 'Prisoners of our birth'!!

But,only one's in ma mind right now...And that's Danny Cartwright!!Rings a bell??? If it doesn't,it is the lead character in the book i just completed-'A Prisoner of Birth' by Jeffrey Archer.I have read only one other work of Archer ,namely 'First Among Equals'.It wasn't my genre of interest,but still,i liked it for Archer's narration.Ever since I read about the book's(PoB) release,sometime last year in the papers,i wanted to read this particular work of Archer.And the author himself said that the book could be taken for a modern day 'Count Of Monte Cristo'!Now that's some book i'll never forget in my life(leave alone Edmond Dantes) because it was the first book i ever read(Because it was in my Non detail portions;)). And indeed,i found that most of the plot did match!!



The story starts with Danny being convicted for the murder of Bernie,his best buddy and his lover's only brother!He is put in Belmarsh,the prison,and gets himself acquainted with Nick('Sir Nickholas') and Big Al,his cell mates!!Danny's appeal is rejected even though his lawyer Mr.Alex Redmayne tries his best. The actual murderers,a group of three close friends,escape this time and they start to relax a bit....But there was one thing Nick and Danny had in common,Looks..Most of them in the prison mistook them to be brothers.Suddenly the plot gathers speed as Nick is killed(again due to being mistaken for Danny) before six weeks of his release date.With some assistance from Al with the medical files,Danny walks free as Sir Nicholas while most of his family and friends are still mourning 'his' death.He sees to it that what Nicholas inherited from his grandfather, is safe from the hands of his cunning uncle. He then turns his mind to one thing,'REVENGE'.He plans his every move,but still ends up being on trial again,as everyone realise who he actually is.Once again it is Spencer Craig,the actual killer of Bernie,who makes sure that Danny doesn't succed in getting his revenge with aid from his two other musketeers .Then comes my favorite part of the book,'Redemption'.It actually reminded me why i once was,obsessed with 'John Grisham'.Not only is Danny cleared of his current trial,the old trial is revised again,only for the story to end,how it must!

MaChO!!!

Bikes are always considered a 'Macho' thing!Although there are a lot of 'the fairer sex' who ride super bikes these days ,you still can't expect a 'rossi a.k.a 46' among them!!When i was wondering,if i could make some post in my blog,yesterday, an R15 'wroom'ed past me and made me decide that the post will,once again,be on biking!!Bikes,always amazed me from my childhood,each having it's own reason! But only some months before ,did i acquaint myself to the technical part of biking!! Anyway,let's forget the technical part in this post.I wanted to decide on, which all will make my 'Ten Favourite Bikes'. Please note that this isn't a rating!!It's just a list of MY ten favourite bikes.And taste ,as always,can differ!!

1.Honda Stunner Cbf 125:

First up,i own this bike!!So,no wonder,it's the first in my list!!And secondly,it's a Honda!!I take great pride in owning this machine and would like to note about its ons n offs!!

Ons: Looks,performance,pickup for a 125cc , N so on!!;)
offs: pretty expensive in its class,Deceptive looks,but not so powerful engine!!


2.Yamaha R15

Bike of the year,if you ask me!!The kind of technology it comes with,can really blow any biker's mind off!!Good looks(but the rear tyre could've been bigger!!),good performance,'very' high price',and a bit low mileage!!



3.Karizma zma:

As an adolescent,i was very much crazy about Hrithik 'hunk' roshan.Actually,i am,still!! And when i saw that ad featuring him,along with this super cool bike,i suddenly found my spirit rising!!Even now,when i see a Karizma,on the road,i can lost rack of the road sometimes!! Excellent looks,powerful engine,standard round performance,decent mileage for its class!!


4.Yamaha FZ16

A sibling to the R15, Fz can be expected to give the same performance,if not more.
Comes with a Stocky muscular look,which is further enhanced by the huge radial rear tyre!!Infact it reminds me of a Batpod!!;)India's first naked street bike!The Lord of the streets is here for everyone to hail!!



5.Yamaha RX100

Remember the slim bike which announced its arrival with its spectacular sound??
It was much ahead of its time!Even now,when i get to ride one,i can't stop myself from doing a wheelie because of the amzing pick up n power it gives!!The mileage could've been better though!!


6.The Bullet:

Should i tell more than that?!! Anyway,having that much power in its belly,it is any biker's dream ride!!I think the Post title suits this more than any other bike!!Any 'macho' gal to drive this one??!! Noway!!



7.Pulsar,the series:
Definitely male,was what the earlier ads had to say about this one.And it was!!But any day,i'd have liked to have the earlier one(i mean the one without the front mask),which enhanced the tank's already huge size!!And it's been a hit with various sections of the indian public,urging Bajaj to release various versions!!When's that 300cc pulsar gonna come roaring!!;)


8.CbZ Original and Extreme:

The Cbz always had something for avid bikers!Awesome pick up,suiting people who 'live life off the edge';) Its looks could've been better but still a good one from Hero Honda complementing Karizma!!



9.TVS Apache:
I just didn't want to add this in this list!But halfway through this post,i remembered those days in my first year of higher secondary school,when this bike was released!I was as crazy as anyone else in the city especially seeing the ad,'It's now or never'.But now am getting a bit bored of Apaches actually!!It's like, everywhere you turn you'll see an Apache!!Not very good looks,but excellent performance i must say with a lot of Vibes at top end speeds!!


10.HonDa FireBlade:

I know it's a Super Bike,but i just love this bike too much,to not include it in this list just because it's a super bike!!It's one of those bikes,with a name as sexy as it looks!And if you'd ask me to name one bike i'd love to ride before i end up in heaven,(ahem am a good boy!!) ,i'd go with this bike for some reason!!One word??: Mindblowing!!

The sEnSaTiOn!!!!

'I take my position, adrenaline pumping and my pulse rate doubled.
I look deep into the 'long' road ahead.But,is it so long???
With a little press of my finger,12 horses try to leap forward into action,but i tell them,'Not now,you are not yet ready,some other day!!'.Ever so slowly,i start.It doesn't take much time for my hair to get ruffled.I am gaining speed.Not express,but not slow either!!I am getting used to being gaped at by onlookers these days.It's a completely different thing that,they are not gaping at me!.I take fresh air into my lungs(not so fresh though!!).Even before i realize,I've already reached the end of my 'long' road.I get down reluctantly,but its not long before i return back to the same position.I have a feeling of DEJA VU.Wondering what all this is about???I RIDE the SENSATION!!!'




Guess what I've been up to these days??Nothing!!!
Honestly,thanks to Anna university's Dumb 'no, we don't want u to be creative' syllabus,I've been up to 'Nothing' trying to prepare for my semester these days.However,on second thought,there's something else grabbing my attention with ease these days.That's my recently bought BIKE.Comes by the name of Stunner,and as I've tried to explain above,it really IS a Sensation!!A month back i wouldn't have thought I'd get myself a bike,leave alone a new one!!But thanks to one of my friends,i could pester my dad into buying me one!!It must be said that i spend most of my time looking at it in awe,rather than doing 'Nothing'.And in a week,I'd be given the license to abort doing 'Nothing',and take more long drives!!!!;)
