The Plan

My friend calls me up the other day and asks me "Rohit tell me how will I tell my parents about my boyfriend if and when I get one?"
I asked her why she was so worried about that part of things when she has yet to take the basic step of getting a boyfriend, and she told me she does not want to waste time thinking about it later.

So I told her my plan, which goes like this:
1. Get a boyfriend.
2. Cut your hair really short. (You can even go bald for effect).
3. Dress up like a guy and talk increasingly about wanting to move to Canada because of the
liberal atmosphere there.
4. participate in all the gay rallies held in the city.
5. Keep telling your parents how much nicer girls are compared to guys.
6. Tell your sister to complain to your parents about how scared she is to share the same bed.
7. Finally tell your mom you are lesbian.
8. When your mom is fainting, go up to her and tell her, that you can change your beliefs to make
her happy.
9. At a strategic moment, show her your boyfriend's pic and ask her if this guy will do?
10. At this point, your mom will be too happy to say no.
11. Happy days are here!!!

She hung up on me.

The next time we met, she slapped me and told me what an idiot I was to make fun of her situation. She refused to even contemplate putting such a plan into action, to which I reminded her of the old adage of a beggar lacking the luxury of choice.

A week later, I see the new Virgin Mobile ad on TV. Now all of a sudden, according to her, the plan seems to be a piece of cake. Too bad though, she saw the ad along with her parents.......

Help me please

Hey guys the Electrical Engineering Department of my college is coming out with a magazine for the first time. Its a technical magazine and I am the head of the magazine committee. I need to think of a name for the magazine.

So if anyone out there can think up of a cool name which will not make my HOD frown, please let me know. Come on fellow bloggers, think!!!

Dudu Come Back

After Martin Taylor's horror tackle yesterday which broke Eduardo D'Silva's leg, one wonders if Taylor can sleep at night. But then again, one is purely thinking from the point of view of an Arsenal Fan. A review of the tackle makes it painfully obvious that he had no intention of breaking Dudu's leg, he just went for the ball. Anyway, hard luck to both men.

The mental strain of such a horrific injury is much more than the physical strain and I hope that Dudu comes out of this spot as a stronger person. Arsene Wenger has thankfully withdrawn his statements as it would have only led to bad blood among the teams. Come on lads, we need to win the league for Eduardo!!! Godspeed.

A month of many things

Went on the IEEE trip to Mussorie, Rishikesh and Haridwar.

Saw the snow capped Himalayan peaks, albeit from a distance.

Had a snowball fight, without seeing snow fall.

Jammed to the beats of a daphli.

Experienced the inexplicable beauty of the Ganga in the best way possible, by camping on her shores.

Ragged a bunch of Second Years.

Enjoyed a three hour river rafting extravaganza.

Experienced 2 degree cold for the first time in my life.

Made a bunch of new friends.

Bought a brand new bass guitar.

Won the band competition at KEM college the very next day.

Watched Iron Maiden perform live from the third row, and made eye contact with Bruce Dickinson along with Jinju.

Won Crime Scene Investigation in my college.

Sprained my ankle in football practice yesterday, so I cant move now.

Spent the month in the best possible way.

Icing on the cake, I got my passport!!!

Exams Ending

My long, drawn out exams, which began on the 7th of December, are finally coming to an end today. In little over 2 hours, I will be writing my last paper.

It is like a long race, and I have turned the last corner and am on the straight. The checkered flag is waving and all I have to do is cross the finish line. Bring it on losers.

Control Systems seems to be easy but I hope I dont slip up because this is the one of the only subjects where I can score.

The exam ends at 5.30 and I will be leaving for the Rishikesh, Haridwar trip tonight at 9.30. No net for a week, but then again, no exams till May. :-D

With all this hysteria over Bhajji's suspension and worrying news about the 1 lakh car being launched, I would like to stay away from the news for a while and enjoy what little natural beauty remains. Ratan Tata is making a really big mistake and any opposition to the Nano car is welcome.

Until next week then, Tata.
