So, I’m travelling in a DTC bus at the moment. Just got the inspiration to blog again to distract myself from the super irritating kid sitting next to me. He just won’t stop blabbering and his ignorant mother keeps cheering him on. I mean, it’s good to cheer up a little kid and all but not at the expense of others who might just go crazy.

Thankfully, they’re getting off now and I can try and concentrate on writing something better.

It’s been eight months in Delhi and I feel like I’ve been living here forever. I don’t particularly like the people here and they constantly remind me of the fake Chandigarh crowd I’ve had to endure for the most part of my life. The good thing about Delhi is, it’s big; very big. The sheer area and the volume of people it contains is a great leveller. No one cares for anyone. No one’s bothered about who you are. It’s this kind of feeling that is satisfying for a person like me.

I’ve spent my entire life trying to tolerate nobodies who had nothing but adventures and the status of their dads and uncles to boast of. It was agonsing and suffocating to sit and converse with people who had nothing to talk of but power, money and muscle.

I had realised quite sometime back that I didn’t want to stay in Chandigarh. I didn’t want to sit each day with people who I despised. But it was only when I spent a month in Delhi that I was sure of the fact that Chandigarh was just not for me. Never do I intend to go back to that rotten place. I agree it’s beautiful. I agree it has a charm of it’s own. But it has no character. Living in Chandigarh is like sitting inside a bubble, oblivious to the outside world. If I ever find a way to profit off something meant for the ‘phukras’, I’d gladly move back to Chandigarh. I could make a killing in no time. But if there’s anything meaningful that I do in life, I’m pretty certain it won’t be in Chandigarh.

Maybe I’m right, maybe I’m wrong. I’m just putting down thoughts coming to me. This post might not make sense but it’s nothing but a trigger. The rain of bullets will follow.

Its a little peculiar and I’ve only recently noticed this – I enjoy sadness. I like getting depressed. I like to have that pain shoot up inside of me. I like the feeling when my head gets so heavy that tears just trickle out of my eyes. I don’t know what to make of this condition because overall I’m quite happy and satisfied with my life. In fact, life’s never felt better and the future’s never looked so promising.

Then why do I find myself constantly listening to sad and depressing songs, watching movies that make me wanna cry (yes CRY!)… It’s beyond my reasoning. I’m not troubled by this recent revelation but I’m so fucking curious to find out the reason behind all this.

…and every Indian is celebrating as if they won a lottery.

So India finally did it!! Against all odds, India finally managed to win the Twenty20 World Cup. Yes, a World Cup… that’s quite an achievement for our team. Sreesanth probably took the most memorable catch of his life. Harbhajan bowled one of the worst overs ever. Joginder Sharma was his normal crappy self as always. But we won.

The whole of Chandigarh celebrated. People dancing. Roads jammed… guys on roof of cars… dancing… the police failing miserably to control them. Rickshaw pullers, daily wagers on their bicycles… howling. Foreigners busy clicking pictures of kids sitting on the windows of their cars. TV reporters following insane fans on scooters. This was the scene in Chandigarh.

I don’t wish to write anymore. I have my exam tomorrow and I haven’t studied a word. I’ll leave you with a video of people celebrating inside (and outside) Café Coffee Day, Sector 35, Chandigarh. Truly amazing. Wonder what’s there in cricket that unites every Indian. Maybe it was the fact that we beat Pakistan!! JAI HIND!!

EDIT : Check out the condensation and water droplets falling from the AC vents. Might give you an idea of how hot (and crowded) it was in there!! Fun, nevertheless… better than watching at the stadium.

I flunked in three exams in the first sem. I cleared all of them. Only one remains which is a mass repeat. Will hopefully clear that exam as well.

Na na… that’s not the code name for some terrorist organization. Its just a model number of a battery that comes with a number of Nokia phones – 46 million of them to be precise.

And its defective. It overheats. It gets deformed. Who knows, it might even burst!!

I seriously advise people to check Nokia’s website for more information and to check if their battery if one from the defective
lot.

• http://www.nokia.com/batteryreplacement/en/

The good part is, Nokia will replace the defective pieces. So don’t start panicking and switch off your phones. Wait for Monday to come (Aug 15th is a holiday, Saturday, Sunday too) and get your battery replaced. Don’t wanna discourage you here but the Nokia Care people are even more terrorizing. They returned my phone after two weeks and they just had to tighten a screw. So make sure you put some pressure on them. Good luck and stay safe!!

Finally I’m back on the blog.

A lot has happened since my last post and even before it but I didn’t get time to write it down.

I bought a new phone, a Nokia N73 Music Edition. One beautiful gadget it is. My sister got married. I’ll put up some pictures soon. My college attendance touched an all time low. I met with a very deadly road accident; nothing serious happened to me but could have. Lets say I was a little lucky this time, escaped unhurt.

But there were fun times too. I spent a great deal of time with my girl, meeting up with her almost everyday. But then there were fights with her too.

And I think something’s happened to me, I get very tired towards the end of the day almost everyday which caused a lot of mood swings and thus causing a lot of fights with lotsa people.

I’m hating myself at the moment but I don’t know what else to do.

I have just launched a brand new project. Something similar to the Dreams Database that was present on Tandem Felix.

Its called Surreal Stories. You go, register, post your dreams and other people post their thoughts.

Give it a whirl. I don’t dream. Seriously. And this site is just an attempt to peep into your mind. Please participate and spread the word.

Sorry for all the confusion. You guys can ignore the previous clarification now. The rumours turned out to be true . I am quite surprised myself. The truth came out on the 21st of January.

This is what I hear these days when I talk to my peers. Now you must be thinking how in the world is that possible? Does my ear decode the audio frequencies in some different way? No!

Don’t you get it, its just the accent. I still haven’t been able to find out from where do people these days pick up the British, American or even the Australian accent. I know for sure that they haven’t been abroad. Maybe they picked it up at the airport while simply interacting with some foreigner.

Come on! Big deal. You can’t speak in English fluently, you can’t pronounce some words correctly… big shit. You can still eat, breathe and shit. Yay! Why pretend? Why be a fake?

Why is everyone so obsessed with talking in English these days? OK, why is my blog not in Hindi? Ummm… don’t know! Back to the topic, why do people feel that they need to constantly blabber some words in a foreign language just to look hip? Does swearing in a foreign language not count as a swear? Is it somewhat more sophisticated to use the F word instead of BC or MC?

“Oh yes! Words like Fuck, Damn, Crap, Shit sound so ultra cool!! They make me look so chic. I easily blend in with the others. People want to talk to me then. If I talk in Hindi or if I abuse in Hindi or Punjabi, I’ll be treated like a outcast.”

Some of you may think I’m exaggerating. I’m not. I’ve seen people transform over the years, lose their own identity and individuality and turn into some sort of repulsive fakes. Just a few months ago, one of my friends left Chandigarh to study engineering in some different part of the country. He came back and there was a visible change. Some for the better but mainly for the worse. He too had turned into some sort of a fake. He kept telling me how he found Hindi movies and Hindi music so boring and that he would never touch anything except for English movies and music. It was amusing. I couldn’t laugh in his face but I chuckled inside. Here was a guy, standing in front of me, who a few months back would listen to the desiest punjabi tracks. And now, he pretended as if he’d heard nothing but Pink Floyd, Linkin Park etc. since birth. Wait a minute, Linkin Park didn’t even exist back then !

I switch on the TV and all I see are the celebs with their fake accents, the kids on reality shows with their fake hip attitudes. I go to a café or a restaurant and there they are again with their fake accents and fake attitudes. Or is it me? Maybe I am a low-life, a loser. What the fuck, I have the freedom to be me.

I am not saying that talking in English is bad. Its great. But pretending to be something or someone you aren’t is something I really don’t admire. Deep inside, everyone has the urge to shed that fake mask, the fake style and let loose, to just take their hands down and scratch their butts , to make mistakes and just not be the sophisticated, English blabbering freaks. But then, you got hundreds of wannabes who are willing to scratch your butt for you!! Way to go!

Stupid but still needed.

Some people have been jumping around claiming that I have a girlfriend.

I DON’T!!

I like a girl, I meet her at times but that doesn’t mean she’s my girlfriend!! What lame brains people have!!

Stop spreading rumours… she’s a very very very good friend… a real close pal. And she knows about my feelings for her. And if you want to continue spreading them… be my guest !! Haah… after all, I like that girl . Its just that I don’t want to make things awkward for her.

I hope the person in discussion reads this. Because I know you do… and that too for a very very very long time. You’re not too smart. And I don’t hide stuff. So stop talking crap.

And yeah… when I have a girlfriend… I’ll let you know. So please stop using your imagination.

Last Monday, the 18th was probably the saddest day of my life this year. It was my birthday and I was in no mood to celebrate.

The trouble started in the morning of 17th. I had a mood swing and suddenly found myself super bored. I went out for a movie, came back and then went out for dinner. Then someone accused me of something which further ruined my mood. But the biggest blow came via text messages when I had a fight with someone. That was the end of my patience. I quickly retreated into my shell. Yes, most of you haven’t seen this side of Rahul. Now when I enter this so-called shell… I stop caring about everything. I seriously don’t give a fuck. I go about doing everything as if its my duty and don’t reason or question. Its like I have no feelings or emotions. I pushed certain people into oblivion so that they wouldn’t bother me.

But no matter how hard I try, if something bothers me, I cannot completely push it out of my mind. It keeps pricking me on the inside every second. So, in the afternoon, on the 18th, I decided to confront that person. What followed was another round of accusations and arguments. But then I didnt find a good enough reason to chuck everything. So… so… I ended the fight .

Heheh… yes, I made peace with the other party. Since I had been hurt so badly, it took sometime for me to come out from that so-called shell. But eventually I did, the next night i.e. the night of 19th.

Now everything is back to normal. I have finished with all the fights… with all the people. Some are still angry… they can go fuck a tree!!

It was one of the toughest days for me. I was sad and I couldn’t hide it and there were people around me trying hard to make me happy. The sadder part, I didn’t want them around.

I’m glad it all happened. I’ve come out stronger.

Here’s another post… on another day… just to say that I’m Alive!!

19 years of pure fun… nothing more… nothing less. At the moment, I have regrets with life. I’ve got what I deserved.
Thank you to everyone who wished me… whether it was by phone, SMS, orkut, email etc.

Apologies to everone who called up last night because I couldn’t speak to them properly. It was a lil’ exam tension plus a sudden influx of calls on my phone. On top of that, I had a lil’ problem too so I was kinda upset.

Thank you to everyone for bearing this jester …
At the starting of this post I said that it’s just another day. It’s just these messages from friends and family that make it special. Its not the cake… the presents… I get them all the time… Its the joy that comes from knowing the fact that there are people who remember me.

Thanks a ton everyone!!
