paSSiviTY..

Now first of all, it was good to know that one of my friends "huhwat" did read one of my earlier posts and threw in his valuable comments on the points put up in my article( screw u lazy labrador and allies :P ).
So this one is all about my latest passion...passivity...which is very much evident from the fact that i have set a personal best of not attending any class, lab, or tutorial for 4 days straight and right now plan on continuining the spree for some more days...or at least till the time i start feeling guilty about it. And this is just the beginning, i have managed, after a lot of effort, to set up erronous sleeping and eating schedules. Its the night out most of the time, or half a night out and then the full day 'out' with the slumber session running concurrently with the classes and ending with the same and most of the times, continuining even beyond that. As far as the diet is concerned, the 'day' starts, whenever it does, with heavy doses of caffine and some other junk which usually varies everyday depending on the mood. There is nothing like breakfast or lunch or dinner....usually everything is wrapped up into one BIG package which is consumed at anywhere between 12 midnight to 4 in the morning. The only time when i interact with the outside world is when i recieve a call or someone comes at my door to wake me up for the class or when i meet some other lost souls like myself at the odd hours i mentioned. And the thing that helps the most to subdue the senses is (for the time being) radiohead and some awsome fusion by artists i didnt even hear the name before. For the first one, i blame sutta and for the latter one, kage, and so i can sincerely say that it wont be considerd my fault if i manage to get flunked in any subject due to attendece.
In any case there is no point in attending any of the stupid classes, i mean except for one.Most of them are crap, well almost. Take for example, the intellectually stimulating GD. After much in depth analysis and thoughts, it was decided that the topic of the gd would be given in advance....a week in advance and all that the whole class, or the ever astute professors could think of for the next week was......wired internet versus wireless internet. Can you think of a more lame topic than this one, i tell you what, just come to the next class and you might find a list of lamer topics...a never ending spree of bullshit topics which will leave you gasping in amazement about the potential of the profs to think of obsolete topics. And just think of the arguments one can put up for and against the topic. Let me put forward a few of mine.First, for the wired lan, it helps make sure that something actually is connected to your computer even if it aint working and so you dont have to check your wifi card or give ur box a beating if that loading bar is just not moving. Plus you dont have to move your lapi around the hostel, stopping under each wifi router to make sure that its the net thats not workin, the comp is fine. Another thing, there is no fear of the ever harmful radio or whatever waves emnating from a wire as opposed to the wifi router which slowly messes with your brain and you turn into a psycho till the time you get outta here ( and you thought the profs were driving you crazy...huh) Coming to the benifits of wifi, first, you can rest assured that no one can strangle you to death if a fight breaks out in your room, at least you have one wire less and that obvioulsy reduces the percentage chance of you dying a choking death.hmmm...no other benifit i can think of right now...oh yes....the mobility point...but lets just say, its more of an option many would not mind sacrificing, atleast i never saw anyone sitting under a tree on a nice winter noon and surfing the net.So i guess the following points would more than suffice for a successful gd for the coming week........hey....i almost forgot one small point.....connectivity thing...but who cares.
Now maybe i deviated a bit from my initial route but...thats passivity, i aint got anythin better to do and u too....nothin better to do than read "this". nyways, i hope that sooner or later, everyone will turn into a being like me and then the world would be a better place to live in....
so long suckers.....
peace for all.....

talK...

After the one and only comment on my last blog by the ever astute " lazy labrador " , i decided that i should change the theme of what i write here so as to avoid that kind of comments, but its sometimes just not possible for me to keep away from blabbering out what comes to my mind.
So, as the topic suggests, the next point on which i will be pouring out some of my thoughts is.....talk....
For all those who are somewhat used to me talking to them, i think that i have spoke to them enough about it, or this is what i used to think until a few days ago when i came to realise that its simply not that easy to get a straight point through someone. Now, obviously, i aint going to divulge any information as to whom and what situtation i m referring so please i would appreciate if no questions are askes, although as far as i think, the referred person will understand this.......or at least i hope so. It all started from me hearing(accidently) what i should'nt and i dont think that there would've been any other way i would've got to know about it. This led me pondering over one thing....y dont people just say what they think, whats up with speaking out your mind, at least in front of the people you know and trust and more so if its concernig them only. How the hell was i supposed to know that something amiss was going on had i not dropped into that conversation. All the time i kept thinking that atleast i can trust my friends on this.....at least they, if no one else, will tell me if there is something that i need to know and whether there is a problem or i had done something that wasnt right. The thing that is worse than this was everything DOES actually come out....but only after a drink or two and that too in front of someone else....like a drink is better than the person you know from the last 3 years. i guess i shouldnt be jotting down anythin else coz that really would get me into specifics of certain matters. The only thing that i would say is...speak out whatever you think, at least in front of the people who know you and who you think you know......

(PS: for lazy labrador- i will hav to kill you if i get any backchod comments on this one... :P)

Stay low...

Hmm...so here I start, yet another time , to start a new blog, hoping that at least this one will continue for a longer period than the last one. As far as what instigated me to again start jotting down whatever gibberish, haphazard or obscure thoughts of mine was an article in today's paper alongwith some other stuff that happend which made me feel that it is sometimes better to have a bolg as your companion when it comes to speaking and letting things out. So this brings me to the point where I would like to put forward a few points that I realised lately, the first one being the same as the title of this post.....staying low(godammit...m sounding like i'm in a gd).
After going through some odious incidents within a few days, I got a kindof feeling that its always better to stay low and as obscure as possible. Reason being, it makes you less vulnerable to certain situations and more importantly many people. One who is too outward or makes too much noise is bound to get into some kind of messy situation, and mostly without ever knowing it. But thats quite ironic because everyone wants to be in limelight and be known so there is basically a tradeoff and one has to make sure that one strikes a perfect deal, nearly perfect wont be a bad bet either. One thing I would like to mention here is that everything that is being said here is for the people who most of the times or even sometimes do tend to take seriously what is said to them by anyone. For the ones who dont give a fuck what others think about them, life's just too smooth.I guess here I should end my first point, hoping that I didnt sound too philosopical, but even if I did, thats the whole point of me being here, so either read along or quit coz ther's more from where all the stuff above came from.
Moving on, I will now get to the second point that I wanted to share...speaking less.Ya right, everyone knows that one should speak less and listen more and there are a million quotations wanting to make that point out of which half a million we all have listened to or read somewhere or the other but still I want to write a few of my thoughts on that. First of all and the worst part of it, people start taking you for granted if you start talking more to them, they start apprehending that one is too desperate to talk and just cant live without it, a feeling that makes them think that they are more important and sophisticated than the former ones. They start thinking that they are doing the other person a favour by listening to him. I am talking about the people that one mistakenly assumes to be his friend and starts thinking that he can confide stuff in that person and can speak out anything he wants. As far as the people who know you, it never matters what and how much you talk to them. The other point is that talking more kindof makes one dependent on talking as such. Then one always think of sharing stuff and thoughts with someone and if he manages to get a person I just described, then the only thought he will get after a while is...regret.So I gues that sums up all that I had to say, will throw in some more thoughts if I manage to find right word to put them into.
One important thing, please do not ask me about any specifics about this post. I will really appreciate that.
