oh k..so it's not dat i havent started doin work !! actually ya..kinda correct till yesterday...bt today..i did work..a lot..okie..if not a lot !!..quite much of it !!!..even though i woke up at 9 a.m. (dat sucks !!!really..u feel as if almost half d day is gone..rest u waste cursin y u woke up soo late !!)....i thought not of doin d 'cursin' thing again..so, i decided to live my day fr 12 hrs. today..9a.m. to 9 p.m...maybe dat cud work out better...!! atleast wud be easier to keep a track of it !! so i started off wid my vocal riyaaz (even though it wasn't early mornin, wen it's suppose to be done..moreover everyone's still asleep n won't get to hear ur 1 hour long "saaaa.."..lolzz)..still went ahead n did it..rest of d day majorly went in preparin d 30 page @ doc...oh man..it really made me go crazy !! n yeh, i discovered features i never had ever seen bfore in MS-Word !! wow..its not jus a text editor guys !!

evenin...enjoyed d rainy weather outside (yeh..i did waste time !!!)...wat else do u do wen dere's an unexpected downpour after a >40 degree celsius afternoon...after i realised i'd jus wasted abt 1/4 th of my 12 hr. day today..thought it's time to go to d gym n get out my frustrations on those stubborn weights !!! n hey i didnt tell u abt my new gym !!!!! my task list no.4 !! - see i told you i've started workin on it !!!

okie..so dis gym dat i jus joined 2 days back..supposedly charges me 150 bucks more dan others coz it's an "air conditioned" gym...which i never noticed it is !! ha..dey keep all d windows n doors open to prevent suffocation..so how do u knw if d ac's workin or not !! den d owner..a 21-22 yr old hunk...who's gt this bulgin bt loose biceps (dat really looks pathetic)..always seen talkin to those 'pretty' chicks in d gym..pretty is my imagination once dey shed those extra pounds !! n dat's gonna take quite sometime !!

d ambience..d music..d machines r all good...bt those posters on d walls !!! oh man !! i'm used to d pics of d guys wid dis enormous build up..dat wud even put dat stupid green colored monster "HUNK" to shame !!...bt still dat's tolerable...bt right next to those pics, u see the pics of 'female' bodybuilders !!!! patheeeeeetttttiiiiiiccccc !!!!!!!! seriously pathetic man...barely covered body..n those perfectly flexed up muscles !! wid those bulgin out nerves frm each n every point...eeeeeewwwwwwwww !!!! that's like totally horrible..don knw y dey gt them dere !! d guys won't get inspired by them (maybe a bit pumped up!!) n d grls !! ha..dey'll be more dan thankful, once dey get themselves into dat 36-26-36 shape...dey don deisre much !!!! bt there're a few exceptions too !! grls who seem to have a fine physique !! bt still workin out so much !! well d females here aren't dat health freak too !! sometimes i guess, d owner doesnt charge dem ..at all !! maybe he's jus gt dem to attract d guys !!!!! who knws man !! everythin's fair in love n business !!!! or maybe dey're jus dere fr some guy huntin !! cud be !! naaaaahh !!!!

bt d best part abt good n spacious gyms is dat..all along d walls dey gt dese huge mirrors....n d funniest part..esp. wid d new ones...includin me too...jus after dey do a set (dat's like 12 repititions of some exercise)...dey'll go n stand close to d mirror n start shapin up their muscles..as if those 12 reps/1 set would've made those '1-2-3 kids' into 'hulk hogan'...wid some guys, it's not jus a habit bt a problem..a fascination...jus 5 mins of exercise n next 30 mins..u see dem admirin their own body in frnt of d mirror !! not d case wid d new ones bt some 'macho' guys too who'll clean off d whole gym wen dey gt to work out...won't even leave a single weight fr u !! coz dey jus can't have enough !!!.....bt anyone hardly cares abt dem or deir magnificently articulated body structure as soon as those "a bit over weight" damsels step into d gym !! ha..dat's d way it is !! okie..i guess i wrote quite a lot..!! so let me stop it here !!

hopin tomorrow turns out to be brighter, productive n stressed out...n yeh, early too !!!!!

" tomorrow never dies.. "

phew !!! ready..get..set..go !!! ???

oh k...so finally i gt rid of everythin..exams..college n placements (fr atleast next 1 month)..so now d actual race starts...race against time..race against success...race against achievement..a race against myself !!!
d whole plan's ready..d strategies r in !! d priorities set out :

• MBA prep (wud dat ever start !!!??)
• Guitar (ah..now dats wat i'm gonna do, dis summer of 06)
• Vocals (jus afraid my neighbours won't lodge a complain against me..)
• Gym (srry keerti..bt i really wanna build up a bit !! dis aint enough..)
• @ (gt to get things goin..wud i be able to do it ???!! make a difference !??)
• Programin (i knw dat's jus not me bt i wanna excel in web development !! )
• Readin (ha..now dat i'm gettin used to it..d pace needs to be worked upon ! )

okie..so in d list it doesnt seem to be much..bt it's a mammoth tasklist..trust me on dat !!!!...neways...gt to do it anyhow...dis summer i wanna party..i wanna travel bt only after i've earned it..wen i really sweat it out n die fr a break !!! ..

so...enough of talkin..talkin n talkin...lets jus get down wid it !!!

"Let's get it started !!!!!"

EXAMS...perfect time for introspection !!

ah...it's again dat time of d year which freaks out all d engg. nerds !! d same scene everywhere...library fully occupied like a "kisaan mandi" (i knw dat didnt make sense)..all around u see ppl wid piles of books in dere hands...ready wid their gOoGLe glasses..all set to conquer d world !! yeh..for dem, d world starts from "rrigation engineerin" n ends on "structural design"...don gt scared..dese r jus 2 of d annoyin subjecs we gt in our civil engg. course !! ...
bt for me..."exam time" means d time to introspect..even though i hate dis time of d sessions as much as i hate "baingan" (brinjal)....bt still, i don knw if its d fear of d exams or d results dat makes me think of evrythin else bt studies !!
jus a week bfore exams..i feel so geared up..so much motivated to be "somethin" in life..to get up n claim my space on dis planet...to show ppl i'm not jus another straw in d haystack !! mind u, dis has nothin to do wid my studies !!
d exams r gonna get over in another 10 days..n den after another month..we'll be havin our campus placements...some of India's biggest technical firms comin down to our college for recruitements !! n i jus don wanna be there wid d same CV in my hand which starts wid "ur name, father's name" n ends on a fake, exaggerated 2 line motivation letter for statin d reason y i want to work in dat specific firm !! ...i jus wanna do somethin different !! somethin big !! everyone wants to ...bt in d end, d ppl who succeed r d ones who go ahead n do it !! not jus dreamin abt it all day long..
being brought up in a conservative middle class indian family, it's not unusual dat u're studyin in one of d best engineerin colleges of d country even if u hate engineerin..n u've started peparin fr MBA bcoz dat's wat wud further scale up ur pay even bfore u start workin !! so first u load up urself wid all kind of tech. degrees..loads of certificates n all..u're 23 yrs..n now u've gt to jus somehow get into a big MNC which wont be tough if u've done all dis frm reputed institutions..n den, jus sit there in ur cabin...work frm 8 am to god knows wat time !! collect d fat salary cheque every first week of d month..n get to spend all dat money wid ur family in dose 10-15 holidays u'd get, if any, in d whole year !!
i jus don wanna live dat monotonous kinda life..money's not everythin...yeh, i realized it after being 20, dat dere's a world, more colorful n more beautiful dan " fleet of mercedes sedans" n "big mansions in d most posh area of d town".....
n i knw to make ur dreams a reality, it's gonna take much more dan jus sheer luck or plain hardwork !! u need a deadly combo of both !!
n as Robin Sharma beautifully puts up in his blog...
here's an excerpt :

"Easy to forget that successful people didn't just wake up that way. They started off ordinary - with a goal - and then focused on the daily small steps required to reach it. And as the days slipped into weeks and the weeks into months and the month into years, their dream became more alive. Each day, they practice.
So....devote to practice.
-practice getting up at 5 am each day. It'll get easier (that's what practice does).
-practice being more positive and passionate
-practice being more spectacular at what you do at work (good question: “how would you show up at work if you were the best in the world at what you do?” Start working toward that and your career will skyrocket (how could it not?)
-practice being kinder and more patient
-practice enriching your mind and knowledge base by reading for an hour each day
-practice balancing work and your personal life
-practice getting super fit
Nothing wonderful ever comes without practice"

i'm gonna sweat it out dis summer...ha..wat else wud u expect wen it's over 45 degrees celsuis...okie..no PJ's...seriously, gt to do somethin ...had enough jus being a part of d crowd..now it's time to get ppl crowded up fr u !! i still don knw wat dat "somethin" is dat i'm preparin for !! bt fr sure..i'll be prepared !!!
