The Background I made for our project. “CoCo: The Collaborative Content Creation Tool”. Me and Dinkan were thinking of names and I was fooling around playing Steve Jobs (he named apple) and forwarded names like Manga(mallucised version of mango) and some pretty obscene names as well. Then I came up with ‘Thenga’ (Coconut). Dinku said Coconut and then thunder & Lightning struck in the brains! Viola! Heres the name CoCo complete with two coconuts for Os! 
Somethings money can’t buy…
Indigo nation flat trouser…699 Rs
Van Heusen blue Shirt…899 Rs
Brown striped Tie…299 Rs
Model Awards square toe shoes…799 Rs
A good meal from Azad…98 Rs
Admission to IRMA…priceless!
Today was shopping day for me. Needed to get stuff for my interview. Me, Mother and Father went out together after god knows when. When I think about the money being spent i realy dread the situation if I don’t get selected. May be thats what prompted me not to take a Wills(!) Lifestyle Shirt I really liked. It was 100 Rs more than Van Heusen and the best of the lot. But I just could’nt take it though my mom asked me to choose whichever I liked. Van Heusen I took is a light blue and may be useful only for interviews, its pretty drab otherwise. I don’t know how to tie the tie. Have to ask my friends to help me learn.
Now I need to get a belt. But it so bloody expensive in shops. In Parthas it cost around 600 bucks! I bought my current belt which I have been using for the past four years for just 35 bucks from footpath. Still very usable but not formal. My cousin hated it and used to tell it reminded him of crocodiles!
Anyway I am going to apply to some other colleges as well, just in case. I dont think i can meet anybody from develpmental sector as I can’t bunk college. Time for me to be at my best avatar- The Bluffmaster!
But I guess I know a lot about these rural developments than others. My mom works in a department dealing with some aspects of rural development and I have perused through her stuff since I was a kid. May be that would help!
Now for another one!
One Benson & Hedges Lights…4.50 Rs
One Mento Fresh…0.50 Rs
Take a deep puff…aaah!
Turn around and see your Dad’s friend at a distance…Priceless!
I am quitting smoking for a while…May be for good…Atleast not while I am alone and bored…Boredom that is a big issue…May be its time to nosedive into project and interview preparation so I have no time to feel bored…
So long…you have consoled me…though a poison you kissed me everyday…I am grateful…Now I bid adieu before you enslave me…
Song Recommendation…well since I am making some changes what less than to kick off in style. It is going to be upbeat and fun. It will be retro…The Monkees- I am a believer ( This song has a new version which was sung by Donkey at the end of the movie Shrek)

Yesterday I cried. It has been a long while. 5-6 months. I am not a person who thinks it is courageous and manly not to show your emotions. I believe such people suffer from hypertension later on. Anyway, the last time was during our tour. In the night. During our journey cuting Haryana on the national highway. I was talking to one of my best friends. (I don’t rank my friends. I believe in arranging friends in concentric circles with me as centre so that more than one belong to each ring. It may be pretty lame to some, but it is my belief. May be stemming from the fact that I had no best friend in school, atleast no one I could consider as one.) We were talking and reminscing about our lives. I needed to vent out my steam and he provided the platform I could lean on to. It was dark so probably he culd not see my tears, may be he could guess from my sparkling eyes or husky voice. (I wasn’t bawling!)
Yesterday was a pretty no good day. I had spent the morning at the ground watching matches and in the afternoon at Jackie’s house helping them with their presentation. So much for the good things. I had been trying to get through to TIME to ask about IRMA preparations as they had not called me regarding the same. Sooraj had told me they called him and some visits ha been arranged. I couldn’t reach him either. Yesterday I finally got to him and I was pretty demolished when he said others had already visited quite a few people. Got the number of a guy who got call and ringed him up. He was quite friendly and helpful. On top of this some dudes from ADL came and told my mom that i had not paid any dues for the past 4 months and they would cut the connection. My parents had a suspicion that I had taken that money and invested on my cell phone. The reciept was missing too. I decided to put things straight by a visit to the ADL office and asked the lady there to give me a statement regarding the money I had to pay. Cleared the air of doubt over me. After this I was pretty much exhausted. Then the matter of heart took precedence in my mind and I was dazed by that for a long time. In the night as usual I logged in and started chatting with one of my best friends. (see above again!) Starting was usual with me foxing and PJing her but then I had to confess my heart out. I just needed to do that. She was a patient listener (or is it reade?) She helped a lot by talking sense and consoling me. I was crying by the middle of it. (Not bawling!) I could’nt help the tears from flowing. I guess that is some kind of a symptom of being heartsick. Chatting to her helped a lot. Put some perspectives in correct position, still the ache remained and it remains…
Music Recommendation: Guns N Roses- Patience. The perfect song for me. Acoustic ballad at its best. Do check out. Its not hard and heavy.

No more Odie bashing for a while! Even today I was engaged in a pretty mean psychological torture with him. So enough blogological torture for a while! But he will make some appearences or even star if i am feeling naughty enough 😛
I wanted to post about our sports stuff and blah blah like that…but I am a bit too distracted to do that…donno why?
Our house, Ramanujam, got into finals of Football after beating Bhaba and lost to Sarabhai in the finals. Sarabhai beat Raman in shootout. Hafeez, Prabodh and a juny missed their kicks putting a brilliant save from Dinkan in oblivion. Sarabhai is the best team in football. Their team has some terrific forwards and their midfield plays like forwards. Imagine their stamina, they played two 90 minute matches without substituting their players until Jeevan got hurt.
Tomorrow is cricket. Some trouble are brewing. I think I feel a little empty after deciding not to play. Now that I think of it, our team has just 3 good batsmen ( but they are terrific!) and I would have made a decent addition as an accumulator ala Kaif or Martyn. But I did’nt have to bat at all last time eventhough I was in a good nick.
Haf was pretty disappointed at todays result and he has some headache in team selection tommorow. One hell of a pain! Same case with Anand and he also has worries to take care off. Ratheesh, our keeper is hurt so we need a replacement. Some bad blood and fueds are fuelling again…
I have decided to stay away from playing and that is that. I would be going to watch the match and enjoy a day out with friends discussing about cricket and the strategies. I really wish that is all I have to do and not being in the midst of a row.
Let the Games begin!
