I am massively thankful to the Lord above for gifting me with a ton of great pals, online and offline , who all can take my stupidity and abusiveness and throw it back at me when required or when it aint required.
Normally i dont actually HATE people,there are certain people i dont like but sure as hell hate isnt a word that i use so much, well barring a few football related people like Benayoun or Torres or Gaynaldo, Hate is a pretty strong word to use to describe how you feel about a person, but the Lord above didnt create the heavens with out hell and didnt create angels without of course the devil and demons and Cerberus of course.
So while i have the brilliant side of friends i must have a side of people i dont like and that too was limited to one or two people in my 21 years of existence so far,somehow both of em were muslim, now dont go calling me a racist , i am a muslim as well but thats not the point lets just say i hated these people and not muslims but these 2 guys.
So when i joined a brand new college i was having the idea that there are gonna be a ton of overzealous students who would be studying fighting hard to be the best and prepare themselves for the hard corporate life,that was far from what i got to see in this college, there are idiots and there are freaks and there are idiotic freaks who dont know what to do even though they are 20 years plus.
Take one such example of a dude called Suvodeep,the freak wont write squat when the faculty is delivering a lecture and as soon as I or whoever is sitting next to him writes or starts writing , right when you are in the flow he comes in with his idiotic tone and says
"Hey.....yeh kya hai?,kya likh raha hai"
All the fucking time he does this,once we were made to sit in groups for Quantitative methods class and we were asked to write our weights down on a piece of paper, no names just our weights so in our group everyone was putting their weights down, people laughed at my 85 kgs but i dont need to lie about squat, i then turned to suvodeep and asked him
"What's your weight?"
Suvodeep:Kuch bhi likh de na
ME:Abey kuch toh bol,how the fuck will i know whats your weight?
now let me put this in context,he is a guy who is almost 6 feet tall and is 20+ years plus he has had schooling till at least graduation,which means roughly 15 years of education at least and the stupid bum replies
Suvodeep:ok write down 30 KGS
unbelievable ,30 kgs? fucking hell what the hell man ,fucking idiot.Nuff said you would think
So i replied "What the fuck are you smoking man?,you snorting some shit kya? you snorting coke?"
Then i remembered his stupidity and explained,before he would take it to another level of idiocy
"Coke as in thums up you freak,because you probably dont know what cocaine is,go snort thumbs up you idiot"
Of course he isnt the worst of the lot in this college, there is the great Bhatti who seems to have had some sort of experience in everything that has been done in the field of humanity .No matter what is being taught , be it operations management,accounting,HR,IT,marketing,Quantitative techniques, economics, he has gone and been through it all and actually has a live example as well which includes him.
Like for example one of our communication sir's ,Chats sir asked us to share the saddest moment of your life, now no one wants to share something that is so personal but then again we have our bhati, he goes
"Sir i was working in a tunnel and i was supposed to put a rod in a certain place , so me and my colleague were trying to put the rod in and it had to be done at a certain time but we didnt look at the time and we put it in at the wrong time and the rod started shaking violently"
Now i would like to pause and let people know that in this sort of case what each of us were thinking was
"Damn you Bhati,that rod must have come out and pierced someone or killed something"
as bhati continues
"The rod was shaking so violently,i was so scared and my supervisor scolded me, THAT is the saddest moment of my life"
Bloody chut, hell a group of students started calling him bharwa and thats what we shall call him from now on.
Then there are the Db's,Doodh bhat's as Wasim named em, a couple of chicks who are sadist and think they know everything,no matter what the subject is and the fact is they enjoy trying to act smart and make others look stupid.
There is a sort of understand between us students that when one group is presenting the other group will not ask any hard questions at all,hell we dont even ask any question as we dont wanna make em feel inadequate about the presentation but the Db's wont allow that ,they constantly keep on pestering students and teachers about how much they know and how much others dont.
Plus the fact that somehow now they have started wearing make up and looking like whores doesnt seem to help the fact that they might be the most hated bunch of students in college , even more hated than i am.
One such case,in accounts class most people were talking and when the first Db looked back at someone who made a comment ,sir got pissed and was looking at her trying to tell her to stop talking
She replied "But sir you are ALWAYS staring at me"
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Poor sir was so embarrassed , we are laughing so hard damn it,hahahahahaha
she almost accused sir of being a voyeur , infact that is what she did,hahahahahahahahahaha sir had to come to her rescue and said
"Slip of the tongue,slip of the tongue"
hahahahahaha idiotic DB
of course i myself am an idiot trying to be friendly to people like suvodeep,our college tries to make sure everyone pays their fees at the proper dat so...
Suvodeep:Adeem,fees ka last date kya hai?
ME:today
Suvodeep:shit
Me:Kya hua ,didnt you know that?
Suvodeep:No,but what will happen if i dont pay?
ME:Chutia,everyone is paying it what the fuck is wrong with you? they will kcik you out of college probably after taking a late fee,what the fuck are you high? you smoking marijuana? or you snorting thumbs up again you chut?
Didnt you pay it on time?
Suvodeep:Nah i paid it,i was just finding out what would happen?
Me:Chutia
Suvodeep:arrey gaali kyu de raha hai?
Me:Nahin,I am chutia fucking hell,hum chutia hai
Chutia saala jhandu kahin ka :X

ESPN: Words Dont Fail me anymore
While my last post was no where near to being a rant , this is on proper mother freaking rant which has been building in me for the past one month.
The pressure of college and projects hasnt been all that bad but recently seeing the schedule for ESPNSTAR sports finally broke the camel's back, so here's the situation
I know India is a country where every freak,well at least the majority of the freaks love and adore cricket and would actually kill for cricket if they had a chance, so ESPN putting all its egg's in one basket and trying to milk the max out of the Cricket 50 over World cup is logical and understandable , since it doesnt get the rights for the India games [series] ,maximizing the revenue from the World cup is the most important thing for em, but those fucking idiots at ESPN should be shot in the leg, then in the arm ,then in the gut and then in the other limbs and then taken to a hospital to check fixed and patched up and then shot all over again,
Here's WHY
Those chuts decide to show one match in all 3 channels on a sunday just coz its India's match,ie the match will be shown on ESPN,Star Sports and Star Cricket simultaneously ,yes all 3, same time and also they decide to fuck football,so no matches or wait just one chut manc match is to be shown this weekend.
I do not understand the logic behind it,also we must remember that all India matches are shown on DD national so....we will have 4 channels showing the same match on sunday and of course the people who lose out are the football lovers
As it is ESPN lost the LA Liga rights and the Champions League rights and the Serie A rights of the subcontinent to Ten and Zee sports ,Neo sports shows the Bundeliga nowadays and to add insult to injury ESPN has completely stopped showing any and every american sport
While i had hopes of watching a few NFL games in a year,thats completely gone down the drain,i cant get to see any NHL games at all even though i LOVE ICE HOCKEY,samething goes for Baseball,although i dont like the sport as much but seeing a pitcher go full hilt at 95mph is something amazing and of course ESPN also lost the rights to telecast the NBA which is being shown by Ten sports and SONY PIx [which is a movie channel,PIX by the way also broadcasts the FA cup which ESPN lost the rights to also]
What i dont understand is why did they launch Star Cricket if they wanted to show the game on ESPN and STAR sports,Ten created the Ten Cricket channel and most of the matches are shown on that, and nothing comes close on the Ten Sports channel,which has forced DTH players like Tata sky to forcefully add the channel in growing unrest and demand by the users of the DTH,same thing should have applied for Ten action but again Tata sky wont add Ten action till probably India plays in the football world cup or one indian plays in some special league
So i can easily states 2 things
1:ESPN will not survive for long as a sports channel rather it will become only a cricket channel
2:Tata Sky is making a huge error by not including Ten Action and depriving people of football
And this is more as to why i hate things here,how easily it is to appease the majority and forget about the most beautiful game in the world,the game that is played the most all around the world and rather pay attention to a sport that was forced upon us to an extent by our colonizers ,a sport that is hardly played and a game that is ruled by just oen country in terms of economic value , India.
But then again hasnt that always been the case in the country ?
As long as the powerful are in charge the others can fuck off
As long as cricket is on,football can fuck off
As long as money is there ,a beautiful sport can be killed and made to die
As long as 1 billion people will want to watch a match on 4 channels,they can fuck all forget about the millions of people who love football
And then people talk about why sports dont grow in India,well cricket wont let it and people more importantly wont allow it as well.

Holy Unlawfullness
Firstly i would like to thank a pal of mine, known as Blue Phantom aka Santosh , its coz of him that i decided to blog rather than wank or play fifa for around 20 mins.
Now back to the good stuff, ever since i joined my MBA college i have been bombarded by a ton of different subjects , some of which i am brilliant in like Quantitative techniques while in others only the Lord knows how i do pass ie Accounts etc but all these subjects being brought in every 3 months has been leading me to a newer edge of insanity but thanks to a ton of new pals in my college , life so far has been a breeze
firstly i got my brother from another mother,chorwa aka wasim,barring the fact that he likes cricket and i like football and that he listens to indian music while i listen to english music , we have got tons in common , and while people say crap like
"You make friends after a long time " and " true friendship takes time to build"
we were THE BEST OF FRIENDS from the first day we met at the college during our introduction date ie 13th july 2010
Oh and even though he topped our year in the 1st term , the bangaliness hasnt come out in him YET
Then we have pagli aka swati, one of my few chick friends, so you can pretty much guys she aint a normal chick and well apart from the fact that she is a tomboy and beats all the guys up in class including me , she is bloody brilliant in presentation making and in anything related to accounts and commerce.
Then there is Mood swing aka Rahul who has more mood swings in one day than a 20 year old chick with a lot of period problems , and the freak has got the mouth of a loudspeaker,fucking idiot gets us into trouble so many times its unbelievable
and finally the final piece in our jigsaw so far has been Nangto[the nude one] aka Prithwi,quite possible the most decent person i may have come across ever since i came back from Dubai,Its unbelievable as to how a person cannot be corrupted by a soul like mine,
now all the said members here can take a joke and throw a good one as well and i believed that i may be the worst and corrupted person in class who makes life a living hell for everyone which includes some colorful characters like mriganko[the fucking manc with 4 names and is the slowest person in the class in terms of speaking], raju [the guy who gets eternally pawned every single day by every body in class EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY] and a few others as well,who all have a story stuffed with me abusing the day lights out of em, but this isnt about them, this is about the other side of the class, that is the other section the one i am NOT IN
now every teacher we have come across has told us that our section B is miles better than section A
"Your class is full of students who actually study while all the time more than half the class in the other section is absent"
Now one teacher saying it is fine but almost the entire faculty saying this was freaky ,so today we section B students got the privilege of having a joint class with em, it was a special Business Law class with a guest faculty and while the faculty coming is a freak himself ,filling the class with jokes and the like, today i finally saw why people never complained much about my class or even my group's behavior
The poor bloke who came to teach at 10 in the morning ended up by taking a class double the size he was supposed to filled with idiots who were constantly chattering away no matter what sir tried to do,there was actually a time i felt sorry for him,yeah i felt sorry for a teacher,second time ever in my life.
And the chuts in class were so full of themselves that they were leaving the class and re entering as they pleased ,almost as if sir didnt exist,sir actually had to pick up people and threaten em with dire consequences, a freaking visiting faculty member had to actually threaten people who were above 21 years old and he didnt have to pick anyone from our class up,it was a sad sad sight and unbelievably most of us wanted to get up and beat the shit out of the Sec A guys
now dont go on saying that i have become a geek and all , for this sir fills his class with double meaning ,fills it with jokes and the likes and this is how a faculty member was treated when he was liked,no wonder people hate to teach in Sec A,they shouldnt even be in such a class ,hell they dont deserve any education at all.

Tension and Trauma
One simple question,Why do people go on vacations?
To relax and chill,to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life,to be away from one and all,to get time for one self.TO RELIEVE THEMSELVES FROM TENSION
That was the case for all of my holidays so far,England,France,Singapore,Thailand[2009], Oman,The UAE[count the 7 year residence as a holiday,as i was away from family] but this recent holiday to thailand and Malaysia would have been a complete disaster had it not been for our quick thinking and all[my parents mostly]
So we were using some new travel agent who had just shifted to our complex,i wont dwell much into those details as to why we decided to use em but lets start with us reaching Bangkok airport,now we reached at 2 in the morning and the point was that if we were to go to Kuala Lumpur we would have to catch a morning flight at around 10 AM,so to save time we decided that we would travel from Bangkok to Pattaya by road and reach Pattaya in a couple of hours,normally ,as in our last holiday all our transfers were by car,so we were waiting for the car,but that never came at the airport,instead we found out that we would be taken to pattaya via bus,but the bus service only starts from 8 AM
Fudge it we were stuck in an airport for 6 hours ,bloody hell,but we still thought it couldnt get worse than this,could it?
Our transfer to pattaya was fine,and so was the trip back to bangkok,Both cities were beautiful and since we knew our way around bangkok it wasnt a problem for us to go around
Next we were to travel to Malaysia ,Kuala Lumpur,our flight was to reach at 2 PM and it was bang on time,but for some reason again no car was waiting for us,after waiting for another hour we bought a sim and called the local travel agent who told us that they had no cars left to pick us up as we were supposed to come at 7 PM,a lack of communication between the indian counterparts left us in a fix,so we had to take a cab from KL to our "hotel" deep into the city which took another 2 hours for us to reach the hotel and cost us 102 Ringget ,almost 1500 Rs ,aye carumba
The hotel was more like a cheap motel,a budget hotel as people call it,now i have no problems but since we paid for 4 star accommodation we expect the room to be big enough for 3 people,this room was barely enough for 2,,it was located in the middle of a busy street where cars couldnt enter and after giving both the travel agents [india and Malaysian] a tongue lashing we went out hunting for a new hotel,we did find one good hotel but they said they were booked,it was the 25th of Dec,thanks to the Lord they could accommodate us and we spent the rest of the 5 nights there,of course em ass travel agents from Malaysia had to make our life a hell and they werent willing to shell out a little extra for the new hotel and it was being charged to me dad's credit card.
When we were to leave KL and come back to Bangkok for our flight back to cal,we found out that we had to get visas again to get our bags from bangkok and go to the other flight,now we expected that we would have multiple entry visas for Thailand as it was clear we have to come back to the place,but the friggin idiot from india decided we should have a multiple entry visa for Malaysia,cue another 2 hour wait at the Airport.
What a horrendous holiday,A special mention goes out to the Thai Air flights where alcohol was free,which meant each and every indian on the plane was boozing their ass off.
This certainly was my worst holiday ever,and in case anyone has heard ,they should listen to Sugarcult's - "Los Angeles",i would like to quote em
"One more Holiday,I wont Celebrate"
and neither will we EVER use these travel agents again

A Crappy new year
I know its been quite a while since i last posted something ,i only post when i do have time or i have a kickass REAL LIFE story to tell or when i am really and i mean REALLY pissed about something,and something just pissed me off massively,its not that i dont get pissed,i get pissed off quite easily but the incident that got my goat was new years Eve
31st Dec 2010
Normally my parents and I go out for a drive at the stroke of midnight to park street,the only street in Calcutta having both KFC and Mcdonalds ,and a ton of other restaurants.
I understand its the new year and all but what is there to celebrate?
We reached the place at 11:50 and there were like a gazillion people out on the street doing nothing but screaming and shouting for the new year,as the bongs and well rest of indians say
"Heppy Noo Yaaar"
Literally thousands of mindless freaks on the streets screaming and shouting and dancing and hugging each other like they are the best of pals,if only this sort of love could be seen on the streets everyday when people are out to run over each other or are abusing the life out of someone,the same people have no compassion what so ever from Jan 2nd onwards.
This whole new year celebration is just another way to milk more money out of the normal people,going to clubs and parties to celebrate what?
More deaths,pathetic governance,violence,corruption,the poor thats what each year is about,people forget all this so easily to celebrate another crummy year which holds more of the same for almost each of us.
I dont celebrate new years any more,but certain memories will stay about this one year:
This is what i remembered about 2010
Spain winning the WC
The huge BP oil spill
Togo bus getting attacked by militants during the African Cup of Nations
Paul the octopus
Rafa getting the boot[twice in one year]
Constant and rampant corruption in our country and outside it as well
Finding some kickass online and college pals
The ass of a travel agent we had
Creating "history" in college
Getting my Babe back :D
Becoming a Graduate
And oh yeah as far as new year's resolutions go,there is no point manking any of them because half of em cannot be remembered by the start of March and more importantly no one gives a shit to completing em
so there is just one resolution for one and all,live by it 24 hours a day,7 days a week,365 days in a year,EVERY FRIGGIN YEAR
"JEET KE AAOGE!"

Punked Punked and oh yeah PUNKED!
Us friends have created a sorta ritual,whenever chintoo lee is in town ,we guys have a good old night out,no different this time,we go to park street in the evening,have dinner some where and then go to Someplace Else to catch the band that is playing ,its always Hip Pocket as its Nagu's sir's band and they more or less are always spot on with their music and song list.
This year also we decided to do the same,this time we werent with babla or manko ,it was sumitano,nagu ,chintoo and me,this time we went to park street as usual and we decided to do something different from usual,rather than going to some chinky place ,nagu suggested we go to Mocambo,continental cuisine,we reached music world at 7 and Nagu went and wrote our name down in the register,they told us to come back in around an hour
At 8 we went to Mocambo and the bloke said ,another few minutes,those "few" minutes was like an hour,families were going in one by one but us 4 guys were out just because we werent "family" we had to wait,i can easily say my friends are fucking better family than most relatives i have,although the time did fly by coz all of us had some thing to share which was crazy and funny,i find it odd that non family groups,rather groups without females were made to wait for so long and all,anyways,we entered,got seated and started reading the menu.
Most of us were there to eat the Beef steak,probably the best in town,while chintoo decided to take the lasagna ,nagu wanted some appetizer ,so while i was on the phone and nagu was distracted,chintoo ordered a prawn and crab cocktail,we were hoping that we would have to dip the sea food in some sauce,but a few minutes later we got......
Two bowls with white liquid,now we are confused,what is this,so we dig in and taste it,wtf its mayonnaise ?....we paid 200 bucks for mayonnaise,we dig deeper and we find its with prawns and crab meat,and we gobble it down and then later when we reach the bottom off the bowls we get a nasty after taste,like way bitter,then we realize,we had to mix the bowl well as Vodka was at the base,fucking hell there goes my plan of not having a sip of alcohol for the rest of my life,damn fucking asshole Chintoo just bought me a direct ticket to hell for Betray of Religion,i was going there any way but still,i wanted to go there in my own terms....
Thats the first punked
The 2nd one starts now
We go to Someplace Else where Hip Pocket were to play and we see that they have a new keyboardist and a guitarist as well,a young kid was on the guitar,young compared to the other members of the band,so the gig starts and they start off with some slow easy numbers nothing with The Doors or Pink floyd,the typical Hip Pocket list was not there,boring song list,people getting disinterested and the songs sounded way off,i mean i know i aint a genius in music or that i have heard all the songs before but every song sounded way way wrong ,and after around 5 songs we left in a hurry,really pissed about the music.
Punked twice
Now we decide to have some ice cream so we go to the nearby Swirls outlet and i as usual decide to have a thunderstorm swirls,my 3rd one in 3 days and 4th one in the last 7 days :D,nagu has the new cookie and cream swirls and sumitano and chintoo have some cone dipped in chocolate with vanilla soft ice cream,the damn bastards at the outlet made such pathetic soft creams,bloody it was runny like my nose when i have a bad cold,and fucking hell they even gave very little chocolate chips and nuts in the swirl itself
Thrice.
However one good news did come out from the day about Liverpool FC,and chintoo did get a brand new set of headphones,so alls well that ends well i guess,but man that cocktail shit was pathetic from our side.

Kaju
Normally i dont go pandal hopping during em puja's,i am way too lazy for that,but this year was a completely different story.
My best friend Rohit "chintoo" Sarkar comes to town only once a year as now he studies his ass off in Suratkal and he barely gets holidays ,so every year during the puja's he bunks one week and then we [as in the group] meet up,plus to add to the occasion ,i barely get any holidays from my new B college and this one week in 2010 was the only time i was gonna meet Chintoo.
So off we went for a bit of pandal hopping,ahh the sweaty people all around,the children running and bumping into people,the loud noise,what a perfect advertisement for the city of calcutta,so its around 11 when i meet chintoo,nagu and sumit,who shall now be referred to as sumitano from now on.
We travel to quite a few pandals in kidderpore and of course one of the best themed pandals was in badamtala,but this blog isnt about the pandals,oh no,its more about the "kaju" experience.
So lets get the situation in place,nagu is hungry and before we can have lunch we decide to have a snack so off we go to KC Das ,near South city and we are at the counter but we arent getting any service whatsoever ,we tell nagu to tell the old bloke at the counter about our order but he just refuses to listen to nagu
so i tell him
"Nagu,show him some cleavage"
he didnt and after another 10 minutes of waiting and no service we leave in a huff,still in hunger mode though
so after a few more pandals we go to a roadside sweet shop,where nagu asks for a couple of laddoos,now the laddoos had like a kaju split in half on the top,and nagu gets both the laddoos on one of em paper plates,the ones where they put the water for the puchkas.
So sumit or nagu had one of the half kaju's and chintoo was trying to half the other,me on the other hand wanted the kaju as well so as soon as chintoo tried to lift the kaju from the laddoo i screamed
"KAAAAAAJJJJJJJJJJUUUUUUUUU"
and tried to grab it,but..........
Chintoo didnt expect a scream,up went his hand and one laddoo in the air,now nagu has one laddoo in the plate but he wants to try and save the other laddoo so he tries to save that,when his hand hits mine and now the second laddoo is in the air and the three of us are trying to save the laddoos,rohit almost had it,so did i and nagu was the same slow dim witted freak that he is,but alas both the laddoos were on the ground and the shop owner was bloody angry at us,so we ran away from the place with screams of laughter at the "kaju" problem
Next we went to another place and nagu wants to have em radha balavis and asks the owner,if there were any kajus in em and of course he kept the plate away from me.
