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.

In a Department Far Far Away
Disclaimer:All characters appearing in this post are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
A long long time ago, in a an IIT far far away. The senate council decided to create a new brethren to meet the (so called) challenges of the future. 28 brave souls enlisted for this adventure into the wild. After two years of rigorous training lets see how far these young padawans have felt the power of the force:
T(F)ool: universally applicable tool
ADi: Cyber buff
(C)ork: drugs don't work(under the influence of pheromones)
Asti: a 9 pointer with no interest
Bharat(h): ALAK guy:" isn't he a day scholar???"
Deep Pan: All work and no play still the jack is a bright boy
Hypo(man with 3 names): Jobless guy always at work
Proxy: Innocence is a sin
Chamiya: problem of too many males in life
ID(ea)R: Hairy nest
Atru: Wrong place, wrong time(class rep in 1st year)
Kart: nothing normal about him
Asif: Last man standing always for the lost cause
Atul(r):What??..When???...How.................
Dribble: Data not available
rajiv:VA (virtually anonymous)
Pogo(stick): always testing space time continuum (turning back time by 30 min)
Rampened: jack of all but fundae GAWD
Sirisha: how can you defy her highness?
POOh-POOh, no sorry TWO-TWO: sri sisumbaji (at world's end)
Bala: Its my life!!!!!!!
DEAN: last man speaking as world ends
BOOS: man from another realm of reality
Vikas: first impression is the lasting impression
Chittad: PSEUD(O) Punjabi puttar
YSR: I am a disco jumper

the beginning
to be or not to be, to write or not to write, to witness the marvel of sunrise by waking up early or crashing late(as usual). its a real dilemma. Finally I have managed to post my first blog. Thanks Ork for pestering for the obvious reasons.
