Project rant

Since I am doing engineering (in the final year), I have to do projects. The good (or bad) thing though, is that we can do the project in college, or in any company. So, I can’t do the project in a company, coz we don’t really have even 3 months. And it is so not possible to cope up with 4 subjects (yes, we have 4 subjects in the last semester!), AND do a project. So we have to do it in college itself. All that I have to do now is to decide on what subject to do it in, and then decide what to do in that subject.

So I am trying for a project from 3 weeks, and still nothing has been finalized. My group had decided on a nice project. We thought that we could do this one. Then we find out that the seniors have already done a project on the same lines. So we can’t do it. And we are right back where we started from. Now this is really irritating, coz we were one of the first groups who started searching (and researching, apparently) for projects, and now we have nothing.

Ughh this is so complicated. I was so happy when I found out that we had only 4 days of college. But looks like I’ll be busy all days in a week because of this.

Oh, and “eternal sunshine of the spotless mind” was coming on TV a few days back. So, I thought of watching it coz of the reviews that it has got. Jam Carrey even said that his best performance was in this movie. So anyway, I started watching it, and there was a power cut. So I’ve seen the movie, except for 15 minutes in the middle. And I have not understood the movie. Makes no sense at all. But it did seem similar to vanilla sky, like raj said. It was not funny. When Jim Carrey is in a movie, I expect it to be funny!

Boring!

I have nothing to do, and I am so bored. Nothing. I got nothing to do. These are the things that I could do, but I can’t. Which is very, very unfortunate. Which is the reason why I am bored.

1) I could watch TV. But I am bored of watching it. Scary, but true. I’m bored of TV. I never thought that this day would come. Maybe its because I’ve been watching TV for 3 hours continuously, but whatever.

2) I could read a book. But now, I am not allowed to read books (read: novels) because my college has started. Yes, there’s a rule which says that you can’t read books when you have college.

3) I could listen to music. But all the music I like has been listened over and over again. Now I am just bugged of the same kind of music. I can’t download any music. This is because of a stupid, stupid reason. There is a download limit according to my internet provider. If the download limit exceeds, then we’ll (read: dad) have to pay more. More. Yeah. So no more downloading music. If I want to download, then I have to download it from 2 in the night to 8 in the morning (because there the number of bytes are not counted at this time). I can’t be awake till 2… and I can’t get up before 8, unless I have college. And if I have college, then I obviously wont be downloading any music.

4) I could read blogs. Which is what I’ve been doing. And now I am bored of sitting in front of the computer.

As I am writing this I remembered that Seinfeld is a show of ‘nothing’. Nothing.

Freaky Tuesday

Yeah, I know its not Tuesday. I had written this 2 days back, and I thought I had saved it; apparently I didn’t. So it is not as detailed as it was before. I’m too lazy to type the whole thing again.

My sister (yes, I have a sister!) and me decided to go shopping two days back. We hopped into the sad two-wheeler of mine and started off. Now, ya’ll know how bad the roads are, I don’t really have to spell that out. Me (and my great brain) decided to take a short cut, so that I could beat the bad traffic. Unfortunately the road that I chose had more of potholes than the road it self.

With my sister cribbing about the roads, and me telling her to shut up, we moved on. As I was maneuvering the potholes, suddenly the kinetic just started going ahead, without me accelerating it! I mean, I was just pressing the brakes as tightly as I can, and the stupid thing was going fast? What the…

And as I was trying to stop the vehicle, what exactly does my sister do? She laughs. Yes, and uncontrollably at that. Anyway, I switched off the vehicle and stopped on the road. My sister is still laughing. I ask her, what’s so funny? No reply. Why? Coz she’s laughing.

So I am wondering what to do. And the sister comes up with a brilliant idea. Take it to a service station. They’ll tell you what to do.

Problem? The service station is almost 2 kilometers away. So I told her to go home walking and decided to try to go there on the kinetic. And weirdly, when I started it, it was fine! So I told my sister to sit, and we were off again. We reached a signal, and we were waiting for it to become green. And some guy from behind started honking repeatedly. It was getting on my nerves, so I turned back and looked at him. My sister was laughing again. He was gesturing something wildly, which of course I did not understand. Finally, my sister got what he was saying. The air in the tire was less.

So we took a deviation. Reached a petrol bunk after a kilometer. Put air. Off again. Finally. I was hoping that nothing else would happen.

And then what happens? Yup, a puncture. It had to happen, didn’t it? (She was laughing again. I guess some crazy bug bit her.) So then we had to push the kinetic till the nearest repair shop, which was, like half a kilometer away. Not really far, but it seemed very heavy and the road was a little uphill. Both of us were pushing it. Taking a lot of breaks in the middle. And I realized that I was so not fit. And it was so damn hot.

Got the puncture repaired. After an hour that is. Why you ask? Yeah, because it was lunch hour. Finally we went back home, coz we were really tired of the whole thing.

This is again a post that makes no sense at all. Just want to remember it as the days go by… I just realized that I am not weird, but all the weird things happen to me!

Nothing and Everything

I’ve been meaning to write earlier itself, but I just didn’t want to sit in front of the computer. College is starting tomorrow. It’s too early. I didn’t even have 15 days of holidays. C’mon!! Atleast give us 15 days damnit. The holidays were so less, that I didn’t even get time to get bored. Its was so less. No more Sigh. All good things have to come to an end.

So what I have been doing is just reading and hanging out in malls. I finally finished Bourne supremacy. Finally is the keyword here. It took so long! (almost 2 weeks!) I mean, it was not boring or anything, but it was not that interesting either. As in, I didn’t care what happened in the end. After finishing this book, I read a John Grisham’s book called “the testament”. Now this is called a good book. Finished it in a day. The book is about a guy who has 12 billion dollars. He makes a will, and then kills himself. The will gives all the money to a daughter, without any money to the rest of the 6 children. And this daughter does not want the money. Anyway, it was a nice read. I normally like books that move fast, and give nice descriptions about the characters.

Suddenly I’m starting to like music of Rang De Basanti. Don’t know how that happened. Normally I just can’t stand Hindi music. But this was somewhat different. I don’t like all the songs though. Songs that I like are khoon chala, roobaroo, khalbali and rang de basanti, the title track. While watching the movie, paathshala just sounded awesome. But when I listened to it at home, wasn’t that great.

I have not watched any new movie, except for Rang De Basanti. And I already watched it twice. And I am ready to watch it again. This is so freaky. I don’t know why I like it so much either. Some parts of it were not totally believable. But still it was a nice movie.

So this is the last day of my last ever holidays. Its back to studies from now.
