Scribbling Day

Today was our last working day and it was today that Scribbling Day was held. Though i still cant believe it that from tomorrow i wont be able to sit in class and laugh during the lectures or get irritated by the missed calls and smsses by my friends or i wont be pushed out of my seat anymore during STC sir's class or i wont be able to discuss everything under the sun except studies right from movies(that include porno to movies like departed) to "Enlightenment" to Religion to Politics to Music etc etc in the lecture. Right now faced with too much emotions and it would require another post so i will skip how i feel about last day of college.

I reached college very late around 1:30pm as according to plan Scribbling Day for class would have begun around 11:30am but i was late due to some commitment made earlier on shukla and my part which had to be fulfilled. I almost came to college at dwarka mor metro station to give Software Engg's file to ap's friend around 12:20. After that i went to Shaidpur Metro Station to collect kunal's notes of financial management from shukla. After collecting that i reached back college a little tired due to the journey without expecting much as i hoped that most of the people would have gone home back by then.

I called up kunal and asked him where he was and he said he was at the admin. I reached there and i saw a huge crowd shouting at the top of their voices. Till then i had no idea what was happening. I saw my class and felt a little relieved. After seeing me everyone just started scribbling on my t-shirt and i was not able to move for like 5 mins as everyone pounced on me. One by one they just kept on coming. It was the warmest reception i had ever received in my life. Everyone in the class was so warm me due to that all my exhaustion of the journey and heat just went away.

The comments written on the t shirt were really nice especially by isha and swati raghunandan. Thanks for writing such nice words about me i dont know if i deserve them or not but if i do i would like to give credit to my parents and to my school Mount St Mary's...Thank you guys for making this day one of the most memorable moments of my life..

PS: Must say couples like isha and anita share a very strong relationship i mean both of them wrote on opposite side of my sleeves was that coincidence or they have ruhani powers due to which they tend to know each other thoughts before hand..

Also mohit yar your comment about making millions and millions of babies is not right yar as it is india is already suffering from over-population and with me making millions and millions of babies would aggravate india's problem.

@Saurabh i do love Virtex. To put it another words you can say it is my love interest these days. Have you seen the legs of Virtex they are the most beautiful legs and it gives you electric shock when you touch it. You can check the pic of Virtex here

@Anshu nice to see the Worst Gaali of GH..Though kuch farak nahi pada mere ko..

@Kunal please dont do this to me let only Shekhar be your love interest. I am straight. You are already giving me second thoughts of joining CSC... :P

@Soul Gang i hope today by sitting at home some of you must have achieved Enlightenment or must have got more closer to the same by walking on the path toward Enlightenment and i hope all of you must have completed your sleep also..Enjoy..

Trip to Rajasthan

I had recently gone to Rajasthan as a part of College Trip organized by IEEE NSIT Student Branch. All of the Soul Gang went there except Harsh. Ayush was incharge of the trip. We left for Rajasthan on 3april and reached delhi on 8 april. As per itineary of the trip we were to visit Jaipur, Udaipur, Mount Abu and Ajmer.

Day 1:
On 3 april we were to leave by 6 am but we left by 7:30am(if i remember correctly). 81 people were there on the trip and our mode of transport was bus. There were 2 buses and all the 4yrs were sitting in bus no 1. As there was nothing much to do early in the morning Soul gang decided to play Poker and as i didnt know how to play poker they taught me how to play. Must say it is an interesting game. Soon Hemant and Ayush joined the game. Hemant did what he is best at machaopanti, the guy was not very clear with the rules and started to place very high bets or to put it simply he was in the mood of "All In" this affected the game plan for rest of us.

We had breakfast at some lousy place run by Rajasthan Govt where 2 samosas cost 30rupees (i mean like WTF loot macha rakhi hai). Being a miser i did not eat much as there was no point spending too much money there. While traveling we did discuss some interesting topics from demolition of Babri Masjid, to Fanaticism in Islam to the concept of religion etc etc. Some of the topics were discussed to make sure that sutt does not sleep as he did only 2 things on the trip sleeping and toilet. Sitting in the backseat of the bus we six made a heck of racket as arushi later told us that even she could hear our conversations she was 2 rows ahead of us.

We visited amer fort, kanak garden and saw jal mahal. For dinner we stopped at Chaukidhani. I had heard a lot about it and must say it exceeded all my expectations as the place had perfect unison between traditionality and modernity. The dinner was delicious and very heavy they just keep on serving you. The only fault which i feel is that they waste a lot of food as one cant eat that much plus not all people like all the subzis they serve so if someone says no to a particular dish they should not serve him. The highlight of the day were:
1) Usage of a new dialogues like "Sabka apna perspective hai", "Taash ke liye light jaalein", "Maa hi **** di"
2) Adi sleeping on the floor so that 5 of us can sleep comfortably
3) Playing poker inside Kanak Garden
4) In 1 of the forts the Ticket guy said that Boris is a foreigner so we pay 150rs for his ticket

Day 2
We finally reached our hotel Florence Continental in Udaipur around 9 i guess. A room was being shared by 4 people. My roomies were Sid, Varun and Shrey. Hammy was with COE guys and ashwin, adi, shankar and sutt were in the same room. The rooms were well lit and with AC working everything was nice. After attending's nature's call in our room there was a knock in our room and we see hemant standing outside. He said that he wanted to use the toilet in our room. He even charged his digi cam in our room. I guess usse apne room mein "feel" nahi aa rahi thi.

We visited Saheliyon ki Bari, Fateh Sagar lake and also saw the Solar Observatory. We also saw Haldighat and saw the statue of Maharaja Rana Pratap Singh. After a motor boat ride on Fateh Sagar lake we reached to the other end, we had 2 options either we could stay here or go for paddling. Initially we all had decided we will paddle but after reaching there the scenic beauty and table at the canteen caught our attention so we decided to stay here and play Poker. Must say it was a perfect place to play poker with a perfect view of the lake and wind blowing and with chairs and table outside it was just amazing. After playing for sometime the canteen owner came outside and asked us not to play as his customers were getting scared. In words of the canteen owner "mere cusotmer ko darr lag raha hai aap logoin ko dekh kar ki yeh kaun se gaanjedi aur jaauri aa gaye hai".

Highlights of the day:
1) It was poker night in our room with poker chips(thanks to nanhe)
2) Varun and Shrey too learnt how to play Poker
3) 11 people were playing poker that night
4) Around 12:30 there is a knock on the door and i open to see who it is and we see some 10 to 12 fucches asking can we also join we said it is almost time to pack up.

Day 3:
We had to leave for Mt Abu. We left by 6am. Well the mood in our bus was completely different as everyone wanted to play poker. Almost all the 1 years were playing poker with ayush's poker chips. Must say some of them displayed the knack of being pro gamblers.

We visited Dilwara Temples. It was an awesome place. The architecture work of that was mind blowing. There we discovered an NP Hard problem of Devrani & Jethani as they never get along so there is a conflict between them always. We then reached Nakki Lake and all of us in the mood were trekking. We climbed the Toad mountain it was a great place for trekking feel aa gayi thi and for others unki feel nikal gayi thi(like sutt). Ashwin and Shrey were the most adventurous amongst us they did climb some very steep cliffs. Ashwin, shankar and me came down from a very unconventional path and once we reached down it felt amazing.

After trekking with our knees paining we decided to paddling at nakki lake. We roped in Sid and went for paddling it was an enthralling experience.

Highlights of the Day:
1) Playing Poker at night sutt called ashwin naga baba and since then it is his new nickname.
2) I wrote my first prose and i made sure that all the soul gang read it. Most of them didnt like it except ashwin who kept encouraging me(@ashwin thanks for the kind gesture).
3) Our driver took a wrong turn and climbed a bridge and the he had to reverse a bus for a km or so....

Day 4
We went to see City Palace, Vintage Car collection, to a Rajasthan emporium store.

Highlights of the Day:
1) Adi got his first alms by singing the song Feel waale baba at Vintage Car collection giving him company while singing were Sid and me.
2) We ordered 4 plates of Tandoori Chicken 1 for shrey, 1 for Sid, 1 was shared by adi and shankar and 1 for me. It was delicious. All of us savored it. For sid it was a spicy treat it was funny seeing him eat the 3 piece as it was too spicy for him he ran wearing his socks on the roof of the hotel where DJ was going on to drink water.

Day 5
We went to see Pushkar temple, Nathdwara and Moinuddin Chishti Ki Dargah. All the places were nice but one could clearly see that dishonesty and greed for money by the brahmins and mullahs. This is why i hate going to temples as one cant find peace there anymore. All they wanted was to get your money "ALL IN".

Highlights of the Day:
1) The song Naga Baba was developed
2) Yeh Shukla Shukla M*******d hai... was made


Overall it was a nice trip and it was worth going there and what to say about the food it was awesome. At the end i would like to thank all my friends for making it such an enjoyable moment. This trip will truly serve as a great memory once we pass out of college.

PS: Maine trip ke baare mein "ALL IN" kar diya hai i hope soul gang likes it. Also i would like to thank nanhe for organizing such a memorable trip. You can check out the pics at the following link
