Its Time! Yet again, time to see what has already shocked our world ! Our world of friendship, of truth and lies, of cakes and gifts ,of hatred and love. Remember the chill in spine, when the college ended. Its back again, but in a different way and much worse. The sole survivors from NCR of our gang are moving. Moving to start a new life, leaving back just one leaf behind from the herb.
Its a feeling that can only be described in terms of food. Its, as if you are forced to eat something you don't like, in fact hate! Daily! Scary?
Well for me, I would have to adapt to start eating bhindi now. Its the closest I can think of this mayhem brought upon me by these MNCs. I think we were much better without them, at least we were close to someone! Our families at least.
A kid when gets away from home forms a new family! Family of nerds and geeks! Smart log bhi banate honge friends? Sorry no idea about 'em! And now when he's done with his studies, is forced to make his living. A living to maybe live alone ! Out there in the jungle like a chicken. Me not chicken! but a Lion too can be alone. Just imagine no parties, no fun.
God bless Bhindi, and God bless ME!!

Part 13
thinking Heart, pumping Mind
College Life has been a real challenge for me. Not the studies, but people. People I lived with, ate with, enjoyed for these years have been mysterious to me sometimes. The way they would act at situations, which I would completely get crazy at are most surprising. And so is vice-verse. I've met people with brains, a lot of brains. So much of that thinking liquid in their skull, enough to flood a village full of happiness. People would think what other may think of them. And then each step is preplanned, as if they aren't living, they are fighting. Don't know what they fought for, but it was sure enough that I was becoming one of them. Leastwise I could understand whats going on! Yet I got caught between fights of my own friends.
And in all this I found someone, who wasn't corrupt yet. No mind games. Just heart. Do what ever you feel has been the mantra. I'm talking about champ*, yeah he surely is. Its not everybody's cup of tea to let loose themselves even if they aren't drunk! Big thing! But one thing he's always sure of is, that he's not sure of anything. Clueless!... I mean how can someone be so cool and confusing at the same time? You should see his work when he's thought of doing it. Perfect.
Adding to this he's an extravagant! He himself doesn't know where he's spent it. Though most of his shopping's done from Atta! That is not all. Our group comes into real trouble if me and champ* are sent to do shopping for the flat. The contry stuff. Ration. We would get all the weird stuff but not the required one.
Time's changing now! The outside world corrupts you. You start thinking, saving, and stop having fun, clean fun that those years gave us. What has not changed yet, is the friendship.
And a little piece of advice. Stay away from his Bike! And Oh! yes, he sings well too!! ;)

The Classical Parle Gs & the Hakuna Matata Life!!
It was high time now. Chotu has started scolding me for not studying and seeing me so not at all serious towards my Maths Re-exam. Well that how sometimes studious but dear friends will irritate you. After all they want to help screwed people like us. Fine. Period!
So this is how I met this person. Chotu constantly pushed me saying " Just see, even he's studying. What's the problem with you? Want a back again?" And so on and so for. Now this 'he' should have a name to call with. Lets call him 'Timon'. That should work, both for us and Timon. And so it began. I was finally studying during the nights with Timon, and this guy was much prepared than I was. Both with subject and our night arsenals. Yes giving a back paper is like Fighting back to your enemy. Its like grabbing his F***ing neck and saying to him, "We are going to come back and beat the sh*t out of your @$". I know I'm writing dirty now. But can't help it. These words can atleast express our 5% feelings on to this virtual paper from google!
Now Timon would keep those Classical Parle Gs during the night for me just like Timon would keep insects for Pumba in Hakuna Matata Life! And we studied hard till we finally screwed our enemy!!
It was a start of new friendship! Hakuna Matata Friendship. Another group of goofs! But we like it. It was Fun that mattered after all. We were parter in crimes, acting out wierd movie dialoges and never ending 'Simbas'. And remember the 'folk' I mentioned in my third post. The one who didn't let me watch the free movie! We call him 'S*S*'. Yeah a dirty name, but he's fine with it. And me, Timon and S* have been a F***ing Tripod.
You would now say what a dirty post. But this is all about the dirty ones. Hakauna Matata has always been about being dirty , filty but feeling richy!
Infact its about 'Have't eaten anything since morning' & 'Look into my eyes'!!

Bitten by Politics!
I wonder how politics enter student life. And this is one instance that reminds me of one big game that our seniors in college played with us. It was Saturday and we had our exam on Monday. Every one the hostel ready with their syllabus, but not in much mood to give exam. Suddenly we hear in chorus "Exam has been postponed! No studies now! hurray!"
A small lie from our seniors and no one prepared further. What came into light later in the night next day was there's a strike against the college management as few of the senior students have been suspended from college on behalf of creating nuisance in college. Well we reached the college, but not to give exam, but now to postpone it for ourselves. As it was our need not to give it because no one was prepared!
Late till 8 in the evening till the police came in, we poor freshers were shouting for our "Politically Correct" seniors.
This was the day how I learned my first lesson of politics and saw it creeping into student life.

Part 10
Bon Voyage!!
'Hey it worked it worked! the motor is finally running!', chorus.
'Let me try my hand at that. Hey increase the counts, this has to be faster!'
Suddenly every one is called into the room and inquire about how the motor worked?
But what about the sensors? they were working during the night, why not in the day?
Sh**t man the motor stopped again! But why? Oh! the doggy woke up.
These were how our winter breaks in the second year passed! Working whole night and building, what we called it our 'mighty mouse' was the latest robot we were working on. After all we were the first and the youngest group of students from our college preparing for Micromouse competition held at IIT, Pawai each year. It was the greatest and the larger than life feeling. I also remember ho i convinced one of my dear friend 'Champ*' to go to the competition. Its hell of a job to put something in his mind, of something he is prepared not to do.
It was a month of night outs! those 20 days we prepared our 'Robots', The night we spent at the railway station , waiting for our trains. And how someone from us was caught doing something, not allowed in the trains and fined for it! It was all fun. What is also important is that we did everything else other than participating at the Techfest!
But what is most important is that I found a few more friends for life. I was though acquainted with them, but kind of somehow liked a few friends I have today. Simple reason, Few of these were Toppers! But lately I realised, toppers are after all human beings! and should be forgiven for studying so much. Man this wasn't just anydish. I was served with many friendships! And one of the most important that any one of us would agree was 'Hitler!!!', hail bogambo, ya kuch bhi kehlo. The only friend I got who was as crazy for food as I am. And the only girl I met in life who could beat the Sh*t out of anyone's @$$!
This whole trip thing had a few good and many BAD impacts on my reputation. I became more of notoriously famous in college. That was cool! I liked that. Teachers used to hate me now! Girls would fear me, as many of my friends have told! Ah all that brought so much of satisfaction to my heart, that I got another prasad!
After all you need to pay to be famous!!

Some dishes that went undigested!!
MATHS! Not everyone's mouth waters at it! In fact many of us couldn't deny the fact it is something hard to digest. Maths was love to me, but someone who's angry from the system wouldn't care to study even if its a matter of life and death! which by the way i mean 'pass and fail'.
The chap is happy, he's finally got a hobby that would go with him for life time. But he couldn't do all his classes, why would he. There's nothing that he understands or learns in his classroom. Except for the fact that 'Boss is always right, even if he is wrong the first rule applies'. Assignments are necessary so are attendance, but what is not necessary is you learns something or not. The chap wasn't dumb throughout his life. The only crime he committed was questioning and doing things on his own. Doing practicals for his own satisfaction.
It was a time for betrayal, but the that went against himself. The 'prasad' of Engineering was given. The chap failed in his favorite dish, failed to please his bosses, stood aloof, out of the crowd as an angry, disgusting student who's sole job in life became not to do classes. I really till date do not understand that can marks equal knowledge. It would be arrogant to say but one who's never cooked can never know what are spices!

'A taste of Metal and Semiconductor'
Dog wasn't all that I had been. I was also good at something else, something that i had always thought of doing, to live and just this! But what is it? is still unknown to me. Dreams, likings, disliking, perceptions, imaginations and ambitions change with the flow of time. However 'Metal and Semiconductor' have been the most important ingredients of my dishes!
Other than being philosophical if someone asks me, what do you think drives the world today? I would say 'technology'. but yes this is quiet a modest answer from an Electronics & Communication Engineer like me. I proudly say its the electronics that drives the world today. Whatever you have today is either automatic or produced automatically and here's where my favorite cuisine comes at service.
And my kitchen started in first semester itself. Robotics! quite a big name and much bigger game was the only aim for us in first years of college life. The two of us(DOGs!) were now working day and night to build our first robot for a competition. Man it was awesome, strong and swift, the only problem being I had never been able to control it. Wasting whole day long, looking for wastes on the roads that could act as some imp part in out masterpiece of that time was the most hectic job! But it paid! I became notorious for bunking classes. And I nearly blew the whole power system of hostel to build one for my project. Thanks to those bunch of handful 'Good' seniors who cared for new talents and helped us build our 'first'.
I had never been to such competitions before, being the only few from your college or school. It was great, everyone was wishing us for our victory. The only first year group to participate that year was an awesome feeling.
I really tried to build a good power supply, but blew 3 in the course, however doggy's control enabled us to win one and only match. Thereafter we went to other competitions too but some how it didn't worked out.
I really miss those good old days when it was just me, doggy and our machines. One big happy family. It was he who showed me the way to this kitchen and moved himself away to some other cuisine much away from metals. Well I'm not angry or disheartened but still "for the motor to run, the dog must sleep!"
