earlier this morning, when i got up lazily, i found on my bedside table a message alert on my cellphone. i disregarded it to be some poor humor sent by one of my friends. i brushed my teeth, had my breakfast, read the newspaper, and when i had nothing else left to do, i turned to my cellphone for some music. there it was, still trying to attract my attention. i opened the message. it read 'Your Mobile no. has won 200,000GBP in the 2009 (SHELL) INT'L Mobile Draw. To claim your prize:contact on e-mail: shellukmobile@live.com'
i did a little jig after reading this. but damn my over suspicious nature. i couldnt help but wonder, how could i have won, that too such a big amount. i mean, its me! i have never even won a single ticket in a HOUSIE game. thats how bad my relations have been with the Lady Luck.
that was strike one.
then, why the hell would Shell want me to contact them through an email id which is hosted by Microsoft's live.com(not even gmail!!). strike no.2
and finally, i googled UK Shell Award, and did receive a 100,000..............err.. complaints on websites, blogs, consumer forums, and a public announcement by Shell that it was all a fraud. Strike 3.
SO, the bottomline is : Help Yourselves!!! dont be fooled and for your ready referrence : http://www.shell.com/home/content/footer/frauds_scam_alert/

Perrrr...fect life
after a year at iit, I sat wondering how i got into IIT & i m still wondering....
anyways, here’s what i thought what an ideal life would be before i got into iit:
get into iit, put a pseud degree, put a pseud job..
my idea of a perfect life after spending a year in iit:
it could only commence after passing out from this place. It should be one like the actors in a sitcom live, where u do nothing but hang out with your cool friends in either a bar(HIMYM) or a coffee shop(FRIENDS), pass witty comments, have a hot chick as neighbour(the big bang theory), live a bachelor's life in a malibu beach house with a mercedes parked in ur garage while you earn your livelihood writing jingles(two and a half men) and last but not the least, visit Vegas whenever you feel down(all of'em).
this comes right after I finished my endsems because now I feel I know the reason why I watched so many sitcoms during my academic year 2008-09, because when you cant understand a word your physics prof is saying, you need something, someplace to find solitude. And this is how i achieved peace of mind.

Memento
"do i lie to myself to be happy?"
this line from the legendary movie 'memento' is actually a question which we all should ask ourselves. we are happy as far as we think what we believe is true and that is what matters to us; but the moment we find out something that shakes our belief to the root; we turn the defence mechanism 'on' and beat the 'monster of doubt' to death.
Very few have the power to accept the truth, but then we argue, what is 'the truth' and how do we classify what is right and what is wrong?
so, just forget whatever i have written above, dont ever think about it again and do whatever u like cause its ur life, so live it king size!!!

MY first blog
- .... .. ... / .. ... / -.. .... .-. ..- ...- .. -. / ... .- ...- .- .-.. .. .-
firstly, 'dreams unlimited' because thats waht i do most of the time, and secondly because the time at which i am creating this blog is apt for sleeping(its 12:37am IST)! pretty much lame, but thats what i could come up with!
anyways, i have been thinking about creating a blog ever since i read one and its pretty much cool nowadays, and nearly everyone around me has written one and since i attended a "blogging workshop" during a culfest in my insti and also because i ws tired sitting in front of my laptop throughout the day and gen-fart ing(which includes a bit of studying) and last but not the least, i wanted audience to read this load of crap! sit back and enjoy
this is the pic of the blogging workshop
yesterday was a day of mixed emotions; you see whenever u feel, u know people well, they are most likely to prove u wrong! maybe because they were always the same, only u never noticed because they werent of much importance and u never really cared and when u gave them importance, u actually came to know the real person !
but life goes on, time keeps fueling it and we keep running like machines in this rat race.!phew, that didnt sound like me, that ws too much philosophy, pack da macha!
anyws, so yesterday ws fun too, it ws the "sonu niigaam nite" at saarang 09. he rocked the show till the end and made my first live-in concert, my most memorable one too!
until benny dayal popped in and ruined it by singing south indian songs(no offence meant, but come on dude, what are u supposed to do if u cant understand the song)
. anyways, watchout this space for more cause its gonna be awesome and mark my words, this blog is going to be legen...dary! till then, take care! :)
