Over the years I have found Batman's dictum for Joker to hold true, " Expect the unexpected." But somethings in life are too predictable as the laws of Physics(Quantum Physics people shut up!!!) . These things can be set down as rules of our lives :
Rule 1: "Bet against me, you will win."
Seriously, over the past year my wingmates whenever cash strapped have tried this methodology. I have lost many times despite odds being heavily in my favor. This rule is particularly popular during cricket matches.
Rule 2: "KG's entry to Common room during an India match will spell doom for India."
This has happened so many times to be let off as coincidence. Whenever India is hitting hard and cruising Kg will set off for common room from his den and vitrually spell disaster for Team India.
P.S. Rule 2 seems to precede Rule 1.

The DJ Chronicles
I start again after a long time. This post is dedicated to my wing mate Dopa. Literally, DJ is supposed to mean Dopa Joke, but mind you it represents the level of intellect beyond our mortal minds. Over the past year Dopa has reached new milestones for his DJ's, we couldn't keep count. On the persistence of ever so vocal,( but always trying to stay off the record) KG, Orc and Galli, I have decided to make my first entry to DJ archive.
Note: There might be some chronological errors.
1. May 2007, place Ooty.
On our trip to Ooty(I and Orc missed it :( ). while discussing the differences between east and western cultures Dopa pitches in his insightful knowledge of how "Rapes are legal in America". As far as I can remember that was the first such DJ on the record.
2.July 2007, place KG's den
that was the time when one of us got committed, two other were looking at desparate oppurtunities( and still are) and another was being pursued by someone. we also had FIFA fever running high, (those who have played KG don't be fooled, KG is just prelims to play the actual FIFA gods of our wing). I asked KG to play a game of FIFA with me. Dopa, lost in same another realm, says, " Arre FIFA-Fufa kya khel rahe ho? LADKI KHELO NA!!!!!"( Up till know I haven't been able to fathom what he meant by saying that.)
3. circa 2007 (DJ OF ALL TIMES)
One of Dopa's classmates had the luck of having a girlfriend for 2 days . Consequently, he was quite depressed after that. Here enters our great optimistic mind and try to sooth him by saying, " अरे चार दिन की टू ज़िंदगी है, उसमे से दो दिन ऐश करी, अभ बाकी दो दिन पढ़ ले।"
4. Feb 2008, place Himalaya mess
Dopa happens to be acting Tech Sec of our Hostel. For fun I keep bugging him regarding some old Tech books he promised to get in our GBM. In mess suddenly making some connection in his imaginary thought train, he retorts, " Our last hostel nite theme was Graveyard right ! the books are buried in those graves, go and dig them out."
I have to end the post here. If I start qouting all the DJs, as even dopa agreed, I would be stuck for ages.
