the crashed post abt india gate



why the *@#$ does this recover post button not work ?

I just wrote a small piece about how a lot of us met on holi in noida and the damn browser crashed. So I am not going to repeat all that stuff again. it was useles anyway. Anyway we started out the day (or the night as some may prefer to call it) at Centre stage mall in noida's "famous" sector 18.



From centre stage mall we headed to a daaru shop and got a couple of beers and RC (Royal challenge for the uninitiated). Then we headed to funky's place where we were joined by his brother. After a couple of rounds of whisky, I popped up the idea that we go to India Gate. It was close to 11 and we got some dinner packed from a dhaba (delhi has ltos of them compared to blore) and we reached India Gate around midnight. The great monument was not lit up as such but there was lot of lights on road. Driving in Delhi is a great pleasure especially in the night. Delhi surely lives up to the expectation of a capital city. We had some icecreams (thanks mama) and pranshu and I tried to make a tripod out of some sign boards and took this picture of India Gate.




Now once I am back in blore .. i miss my friends and time spent with them in IIT all the more :(

Hope for all (Geeks)

I found this when i was reading about IRC on the net. Last few days I have been reading a lot about IRC channels for different open source project and so was just looking for some information about what this really is.

I ran into this online wedding transcript.

Net.Wedding :)

Have Fun (and hope) !!

I miss that time

I remember that in my school I used to have a big crush on a girl. She was in my class and I would talk to her sometimes. I had just got a new phone connection at home and I would dial her number with shaking hands and say something with trembling voice sometimes to her. I really remember how happy that it-means-nothing would make me. Today I really miss that time. I could never tell that girl what I felt for her .... May be I did not feel much .. it was most likely an infatuation ... nevertheless just the sight of that girl or her voice would make my day. High on hopes and dreams ...

I really miss that time now. I have the courage to go and ask a girl out but I do not have that hope ... that foolishness some people may call it. Blame it on the previous relationships or call it maturity or practical viewpoint .... I find myself having very little faith on things such as love and unconditional love especially. I find people making very sensible choices about love and marriages. Thinking about social structure of their family, caste, job and a thousand other factors when breaking old relationships or making new ones. I see that in friends and may be in me too. I am not blaming anyone. This is not an attempt at insinuation. May be that is the way to go about "such" things in life. May be we are not kids any more. May be things are not that simple as I think they are ....

But I really miss that time ........
