Public Again!!!

I never though my absence would matter or even be noticed, feels nice that it does :P

But please don’t expect me to be regular and any sanity around here cuaz Iv kinda lost it these days.

Some recommended reads

‘The Kite Runner’ – Khalid Husseini
(one of it kind master piece, shows what Irony is made of)
If u’v read it then try his next ‘A thousand Splendid Suns’, all I’l say about it is after a lota cuts and bruises, a happy ending doesn’t hurt.

Freakonomic by Durban and Levitt – an interesting read breaks the molds of conventional economics; the blog is on my blogroll.

Of Course I love You by Durjoy and Maanvi, Durjoy is a fellow blogger, his blog ass-pyre. His blog inspired him to write the book and makes me believe that one day ill be out with my book too :D

On my playlist
New Shoes- Poulo Nutini
So What – Pink
Unforgiven-III – Metallica
The day that never comes - Metallica
I’m yours – Jason Marz

Have a great Diwali
But do your bit for the environment, please don’t use fireworks (some reasons for the same are; 60% of the workers in the fireworks industry are under 14 they are made to work in hazardous conditions with very little pay, the sound pollution is a nuisance for senior citizens, small kids and pets among others).
Indulge yourself in a bucket full of Baskin and Robin’s Bavarian Chocolate ice cream or go grab a beer ever better give some money to a charity.
Well I am doing all three.

:D

Indulgence :D

5 Point Someone - Chetan Bhagat

Bunked college again, the plan was to lazy around all day at home but a friends call disturbed the plans for the same apparently the people from Radio One wanted to ask some questions about College life and stuff so had to drop in at college. 'I got my 60 seconds of fame on Radio :P'

On the way back home I saw this vendor selling books, so picked up Five point Someone 'had to read it after a few recommendations' :)', and I must say it was much better that 3 mistakes.

I guess the biggest reason why his books sell, is the fact that he ends the story well, Iv just finished reading the book and I must say 'I liked it'.There is just somethings about the way he ends a story that makes you forget about the short coming of the story. I guess thats the magic of Chetan Bhagat.

One more thing that this story made me realize was, one of the reasons I was sulking for so many days was that I was disappointed over my 2nd year grades, though I had reached my targets but I just wasn't used to getting such a low rank. That eat me up inside because I knew I was better that the rest but my bad hand writing had lead me down once again.

But as it has said 'Grades are not everything', its time for me to stop whining about the rest and get my rotten brain working again 'its been high time that I get over it, get my act together, start attending lectures and slog out my acad' :P : P

Talking of attending lectures, its already 2.30 a.m and I need to get up after 3 hours in order to reach in time for a 7.25 lecture :P
Tomorrow 'opps today' is a new day, time to rise and shine again :P

P.S - If you have loved reading this book, I highly recommend 'Anything for you Ma'am' by Tushar Raheja.

The three Mistakes of my Life - Chetan Bhagat

Bunked my College yesterday, wasn't in a mood to attend some boring lectures of Horticulture, and this book was stock piled for quite some time so the task for Saturday was cut out, but these rains have made me really lazy so finally finished it today :P
I haven't read Five Point Someone nor have I read One Night at the Call-center, and the only reason I read this book was because of its title 'as you may know, mistakes is my favorite word' :P. On top of that Chetan Bhagat was one Guy whom everybody seems to like, so I had to read him.

The story involves Friendship, Cricket, Politics, Business and how people cope with natural and man-made calamities. Its talks of Gujarat riots and the Earthquake, I still have memories of watching that stuff on tv, and I must say, there were points in the book which I found hard to read specially the rioting part because Death is the hardest part for me to stomach. And yes there were some parts in the story which I didn't like but over all the book is a good read 'a bit over rated, but nice'.
I can't say ill take any lessons from the book, but the way the passion for Cricket is projected and the way the influence of politics in dairy life is projected, it makes me realize how small things escalate to big things and how our society stands on the threshold of man-made calamities.

On a lighter note, I got a few questions who's answers I am unable to find :D

Why does every story has a Girl angle to it' if uv read the book then I am talking about Vidya' ?? :P
What fun do guys get outta checking out girls ??
And why are girls often projected as brain less and cry babies ?? x(

Shower your gyaan on the same :P : P

anything for you, ma'am - Tushar Raheja

I really wanted a break from Fountain head so, I up picked this book 'had read about it in the newspaper a few days back' from New Delhi railway station, while I was on my way to my grandparents place in Punjab.
The front page said an 'IITians love story', and I was like do they even get time off their books :P
I have big time motion sickness plus sitting at one place for 8 hours is impossible for me, but thanks to this book I didn't come to know how those 8 hours passed. And when my Mom said pick up your luggage I was like 'we've reached, so soon' :P
Well than day I didn't have dinner cause I so wanted to finish the book :D

Its a complete laughter ride, the coincidences, the pranks, everything is worth a read with Mr. Fate doing his magic.
The story grips you all the while and you cant leave the book until your finished with it :D
Read it, read it.
Its awesome, I couldn't stop laughter while reading it.
ROTFL

P.S - I am knocking on Mr. Fate's door too :P

Omens,Luck,Coincidences,Destiny

I am done with my practicals 'finally after slogging for hours and hours in the lab',now down to the theory which start from the 5th of March. I still got about 10 days to go for them. So after taking a day off studies seemed to be good option 'which has now extended to 2 days'.

Alchemist was stock piled for about a year now ,so finally started reading it.
It talked about Omens and destiny ,well somewhere deep down I have always believed in omens 'signs of nature' and have been guided by them time and again, in times of trouble and decision making .I held to them sometimes and passes them at other occasions ,but yes they were always there.
So the next time something happens to you, observe it carefully cauz you might get answers to your questions cuaz the nature always has its way of getting things done.

Here a few lines from the book which are worth treasuring.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.


People learn too early in their life what is their reason for being, May be that's why they give up on it so early too.


People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want.


Making of a decision is just the beginning of things.

Every search begins with beginner's luck.
And every search ends with the victor being severely tested.

Darkest hour of the night just comes before dawn.

The force of the flowing water uncovers a treasure and it is buried by the same currents.

When each day is the same as the next it's because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives everyday that the run rises.

Nothing can hold one back,expect himself.

Every person plays a central role in the history of the world
and normally he doesn't know it.

If you become better, the things around you will improve.

It's true life really is generous to those who pursue their destiny.


Well got tons of more things to write about ,
coming back to life after exams:)
