For once i will start this post without trying to be over smart, ever since 9/11 muslims as a whole have been targeted and looked at in a totally different manner, yes i do agree that a lot of us Muslim's are overzealous when it comes to our religious views and practices but so are most of the priests of other religions. The major problem here is since one or two major people who carried out those attacks were of a certain religion , the rest of us get branded as scapegoats for any thing that does happen. We must have tolerance for all religions is what i believe, a ton in fact most of my best friends aren't even muslim which we all kid around with each other and religions to an extent, we know there is a limit not to cross and of course respect is key to a happy community of people.
Coming back to the point of the blog, people preconceive what a person will be before they even know them, this has happened quite a few times , like when i was traveling back with my parents in KL, where we met another family from India, the drive was pretty long and seeing that we were from one country they decided to start a conversation, minutes passed by we all chatted about where we were from and what to expect and see in Kuala Lumpur then arbout 10 minutes into the conversation they asked my dad what his name was
Dad replies "Karim"
and bang they don't speak with us for the rest of the journey , twas another 50 minutes before the car dropped us off to the hotel, but this wasn't the first time it had happened and people do look at us muslim's like we were born to blow places up , It has happened to each one of my muslim friends and this cannot be denied.
Here comes the bit I actually wanted to write about and bring a comparison, being muslim may be hard enough in a world full of snap judgements and stereotyping , but believe me being a former or even a current STB student comes a close second, especially in Calcutta, since most of you must know by now St Thomas Boys' school is one notorious place, believe me i have faced it, but most importantly it seems a people freak out and react way differently as soon as i let them know i am a former STB student.
The first such case happened when i decided to enroll into my CAT preparation class, i walked into a Career Launcher center and was asking about the payment details and what was to be expected from the institute, the next day i came around to pay the amount for joining the class and the female and male receptionists were busy chatting with me, they asked what were my hobbies and all, you know the crap that receptionists especially female receptionists do, they are good looking, well versed and can flirt like hell, so the three of us chatted for around 5-10 minutes and then the male receptionist asked me which school was I from, i proudly replied "St Thomas Boys' Kidderpore",now i have to say Kidderpore because there is a St Thomas Day school, completely different from ours but people do confuse both the schools, as soon as i said Kidderpore the reactions on their faces change, and again while my receipt was being prepared for the next 10 minutes not one of em spoke to me.
Then this happened in my college as well,Techno India, people just dont expect STB students to speak proper english, although i do credit this to me constantly watching Cartoon Network [in english FFS] and being in Dubai for a long time ,its not an excuse for others not to speak good english, fortunately all me pals from STB speak pretty good english, some of em are even better than I am.
Like a guy from Techno India told me "There is a rumor in La Marts [ a snobbish school from where most students come out as a prim and proper snob, which is why i love STb even more , no fucking fakeness] that any students in STb who studies from KG and passes out is a certified Gunda"
Well it is true to an extent, the number of fights, police cases ,etc i have seen in STB is far more than any average student should see in his entire lifetime but then again if it wasn't for STB you would have the freak that you have now, believe me back then in 2002 i was actually a decent,respectable member of society....and thank fuck for that changing
STB RULES
as we had made a saying for our 2007 batch
"gaali khayega ,line mein aayega"
Those beautiful days....sigh

Ode to someone else's farewell part 2
To continue with the rest of the story,the show was to start from 5 Pm,after the seniors last exam,but before that our classes ended at around 3 PM,as we had to fix up the place for the show,while the others slogged around trying to get all the lighting and sound in place,most of the people like me , wasim etc stayed back in our cool air conditioned classroom trying to relax and enjoy the time.
Which meant that it was madness for the students in class,it started with this sudden urge to lift all the people,well at least the male population in our class,around 6-7 guys were all out hoisting people up for no reason at all,while in the adjacent room our seniors were celebrating their escape from the college,we were celebrating being alive and well. Catching hold of people ,assigning a limb to a member and lifting em up high was an easy task as most of the bongs here are like those children from the Unicef ad[no offence meant] but then we decided to do something no one dares do ever,lift the heaviest biggest guy in class,something like the Big Show he is,and 6 to 7 of us managed to do it,needless to say that guys reaction was "Why me? wait how??? no no i will fall,arrey arrey save me......"
Our only fear was not for the guys falling on their ass but the fact that we might damage our projector ,finally it was my turn,people picked me up and everything was going fine until a senior came into the room and shouted "BIRTHDAY BUMPS???? LEMME GO"
and wham wham wham,started kicking my ass and since i pissed a lot of people off a lot,no one even stopped him to let him know my birthday was at least another 10 days away,friends ,yeah good friends.
The clock struck 5 and we started moving downstairs to the place where we were to hold the show,and while the seniors were busy taking the seats we decided to have a good old photo op,taking crazy stances and all,like most kids do,while everyone was busy thinking about the seniors we were busy thinking about how stupid we could look on camera,easy for me always.
The show starts with the two hosts ,one with a crappy accent and the guy trying to act all cool and suave probably to get some maagis on his side,we had an introduction by our principal and then the madness began,while everyone wanted a marketing sir to say something,a proper freak like us,another group wanted another marketing sir to say something and started shouting his name out loud,"Aaaaa GGGGGGGGG AAAAAA GGGGGG",we got a whiff off this and started shouting even louder than the 2nd years,he did comply and said a few things which no one listened to.
The cultural events started and that was my queue along with my friends to go out because we knew the cultural events werent up to scratch , and spending time with me and my madness was much more fun than watching something on stage,while i am cracking jokes on Rahul,since he is in "laaaab" with the female host of the show,in fact every time she came on stage and started saying something or asking some question to the crowd we ended up shouting only one thing
"arrey RAAAAHHUUUULLLLL,Rahul is here!!!!"
all the time,every time she was on stage we screamed out Rahul's name,it became so bad that the guy walked out of the show and waited outside until we cooled it a bit.
When he did return they started giving out those lame awards that are given to the students like "Comedian of the college" which according to most people right now,i am a sure shot to win,including the teachers,"best couple" also is a probability for me to win and so on,so while female host shouts in her crummy accent
"why cant i hear some noise???"
i scream out "BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO SHORT"
silence and then people stare at me,but i dont care and i look the other way.
The next bit was something i can never forget and has damaged me right to my soul,my core is broken somehow,everyone probably has heard the Bryan Adams song "Summer of '69" which is a classic,this guy from our college who studies in another program thinks he is the greatest singer in the world and he gets a couple of guys to play along with him,while the guitarist is strumming up no one cane make out what the song is till the guy suddently starts blurting out in his crummy accent
"saamur of seeecksty naaaine"
most of us are left in awe as to how could he sing like this,and its not like he sings well also,its bad its fucking bad,plus he moves his feet like in inches,is stuck to the stage somehow and the only body part that does move is his pelvic like he is trying ti impregnate the entire crowd,but seeing what a lame dick he is probably his dick is also lame,well it cant be lamer than him.When the performance ended,no one clapped but rather there was stark silence as to how he could desecrate such a song without even a little bit of remorse.
Then there was the problem with dinner,the food was actually quite good,at least better than expected,but the main problem was that uninvited people were eating the dinner and as one girl told me "Is he from our college"
i replied "I dont know,who cares?"
She said,"Well you can go up to him and ask him if he is a senior or not"
i though "Yes and he will let me know,that he is not a senior and is here for free dinner",while we somehow dodged being the security during dinner,the main course was about to come.
Now most people in our college like this whole idea about a Dj playing music and people dancing their ass' off,i for one am not much of a proper dancer,my dancing skills are based on 2 moves,the pagla haath dance or the beedi dance aka the patang udana dance,so i was not expecting anyone to dance par se properly ,music starts lights on and then the real paglami starts.
While i am stuck to my two move arsenal,the most decent guy i have ever met in my life Prithwi,decides to dance and by dance i mean he would sell Mithun out of the park,Hrithik Roshan would have been left in awe and well any other dancer should just go hang themselves,the only person who actually could do what Prithwi did was the late great Michael Jackson,but lets not go there,Prithwi's movements and gestures mesmerized us all,almost every first year student stopped dancing and was gawking at the madness that is Prithwi,hell he wanted someone to accompany him in the moves,but none of us could even do 5% of what he was doing,thus totally destroying what even little image he had left.
While the night ended and seniors left the college for good,the one memory of Prithwi dancing his ass off shall never be forgotten
LOVE LIVE THE PRITHWI
LONG LIVE THE MITHUN

Ode to a someone else's farewell part 1
A sense of Deja vu is on the cards after reading the title, but i am not rehashing old blogs with new flavor and pizazz, this farewell was for our seniors in my college, GBS.
Now let me set the situation up, a few weeks back a group of students out of the 150 odd first year students were to meet the principal and a few other teachers,naturally my name was on the list and i thought ,bah another princi parent meeting is on the cards, but along with me were quite a few toppers from my section as well as other sections, so i knew something was up.
The principal came as well as a few teachers and they asked us if we knew why we were called here, we replied no .Then they said "You are all selected as members of the Students Council" apparently it was a hard decision to make as many students wanted to be a part but the teachers chose us,the lucky few as we are called,the biggest surprise everyone in class got was with my selection,as usual my life goes,so much potential but so little conversion,not that i care about all this.
So the first piece of business for us was to set up a farewell for the seniors,this was the first project of the NEW students council,and we were to set up the budget and the date of the farewell plus plan everything in the damn show within a week,including getting the collection[chanda/hafta] call it as you please.
Now credit is to be given where credit is due,this guy in my class,Naveen and Dinesh have a ton of experience in all these events and they set everything up perfectly,but we had proposed a budget of around 50000 Rs,which we all knew we would never get.
We decided that all of the 150 students should pay up around 300 bucks,again most students were reluctant to pay as we told the teachers in the council,then we all were given 10 students each to get the dough from,a lot of coaxing and threatening later most of the students from my class paid up,some didnt and we had no hesitation to complain about them,perfect,we got on every students' bad books even before i got a chance to abuse certain people's mom's,dad's and generations.That's my luck.
So after 3-4 days of mad collections and threatens we did get the money , we got roughly 35000 Rs, which was 10000 Rs more than we expected to get from the students.
Then comes the question as to who is to be the emcee of the show,since i have pretty good communication skills and acting skills , i was the frontrunner even before the so called auditions were to take place.Now you must understand i am not the kind of guy who wants to do things that i like ripping on,for example i don't want to be the emcee because i wont be able to enjoy the show,ie abuse the shit out of my friends and the emcee who is hosting the show,so while all the teachers expected me to be the emcee,i backed out,much to the disappointment of the communications ma'am,who again let me know a few days later, how much i let people down,the up side of all this,well i didnt get to be the emcee and one of the most hated students in the college became the emcee and it was she,who speaks in some freaky convulated mixed finnish,german,bulgarian,swedish accent.
The day comes for the show and as usual all the student members are to help in setting up the stage,which means i can bunk class and get attendance,however again a lot of people were there to help us out,in fact the people who werent part of the council were working their ass off to make it special for the seniors,while of course chutias like Raju would just walk about and act like they were doing something but he was like a lot of other students trying to act cool to impress the chicks,bloody maagas.
Streamers being lined up and me sticking the bits to people's backsides and all,snapping pictures and making a complete fool of everyone is just the way to set things up for the big show,of course my good pal wasim was with me,fooling around and a few other people were working hard,the one bit was our dear love couple of college Sohini and Mriganka[a freaking manc] who said they would prepare something for the seniors,half an hour goes by and then i decide to see what the hell they were doing,locating them was easy but after seeing what they did or didn't do i could guess what they did for half an hour,all the "did" was stick one and i repeat one freaking poster,what else they did before this,i guess we have some idea about.
This is a pretty long post,so i have to break it up,now i know the build up might not have been that great,but oh man,believe me the SHOW was freaking amazing,not because of the amazing quality of performances,but rather a performance,actually 2 performances i will never forget
1:A complete demolition and desecration of Bryan Adams,i will never look at the guy in the same way again
2:The Prithwi Dance,who said Prithwi cant dance saala

What's my age again?
Progressing from school to college is never an easy task, nothing is supposed to be similar in both the environments, ie school and college.You leave all your friends and a comfort zone that you had built over the years to face something new and develop yourself, like a metamorphosis you come in as a teen and leave as an adult, learning new things about yourself ,all that is crap to be honest.
College is not the thing we see on tv, where you bunk as you like and that everyone in college is pretty and the professors are dumb and the lady professors are hot,well some are but that's not the point,the point i am trying to make is that everything more or less remains the same,its just that you pay much more as fees than you would in school.
One thing that somehow hasn't changed from my experiences in school and college is that all the teachers,professors and faculty members constantly rebuke the students for not acting their age,we are supposed to somehow act decent and disciplined and all that just because we have become 21 or something.
Our Eco sir in fact has constantly told us that "He was asked to join the institute and that it was his perception that he would be teaching students who are all post graduates and behave like post graduate students would,like probably in North America or any other part of the world"
then he observes our behavior for a few days and recently told us that he is not capable of handling us because he has not been trained to handle "kindergarten" students.
this sort of comment has been passed wherever i have been,as in education institutes,school,college,tutorials and now even during a PG course, but people don't learn,the teachers should know by now that I wont change,i will stay the freak that i am and i should also acknowledge the fact that growing up has no scope for me,the only thing that keeps me sane is the abuses,comments,jokes,sexual references, irritating people etc, while a fear does exist as to what kind of employee i would be in a few weeks time for some company , i do still believe i will enjoy myself by being the crazy lunatic that i am,and i am fooking proud of it,at least i am better than those maagas.
With all these people telling me to grow up and me being on a charge wanting not to grow up,while i enter the lift of my building a couple of days back an 8 year old kid enters the lift , looks at me and tells me
"Can you tell me what the time is ,please UNCLE"
And that is when a part of my world shatters,now i know,even if i do behave like i do,which in some circles would and probably should land me in jail or in a psych ward,i know that I have grown,not mentally just physically

Geek Vs Freak
Over the years I clearly know that i have been a major pain in the ass for quite a few people, especially the people i decide to "friend" and get close to. I also know how many people have clearly told me that they would kill me or beat me up if they ever had the chance, to which i scoff at their remarks by saying "its a LOOOOONG line" , which to an extent is true.
People have called me a freak over the years and I take that in my stride because being freaky ain't easy but it sure is fun, invariably I end up making some person burst out in laughter or at least bring a smile to someone's face, now something that might shock you people is that this freak within me was not always there, in fact I at one stage of my life was something that i hate nowadays .....a Geek.
The proper bangalee stereotype of always studying and doing brilliantly well in school, always ranking among the top 5 and taking part in almost all of em crappy school activities,plays,sports,debates,elocution's[7 year reigning champion at my school] but then when i came back to Calcutta and utterly failed at doing well at what i was good at,because of the competition of bangalees a change took place and the real freak bonbon came out sometime in 2005
Normally I dont really like talking about geeks but an evening forced me to blog about it at least, it was the holi weekend and my parents as the usual weekend tradition goes were to have dinner at some restaurant, its a tradition that no food is cooked at my house during the weekend,kind of a thank you to my mom , so my dad tells me about this new place that he found called "Krystal Chopsticks" , i know that's not the correct spelling but hey , lets cut the place some slack as the food really was fantastic but we got a table next to another family, again no problems there.
So by the time we finish ordering then the irritation starts and i am not talking about some sort of rash in the never regions, rather it starts off with
Son #1:I don't want to go to San Francisco [in this so fake American accent]
Mom:Why not? Lets go to San Fran
Son #1:but the only thing there is the Golden gate,lets go to San Diego,its better there
and i am thinking ,you fucking gay,that's what san fran is full off,gays like you
While this was still tolerable they then went on with a 5 minute debate about where to go,while i still couldn't figure out why they wanted to go anywhere at all,because they never got to the point, by the time this crummy debate ended and i thought ,maybe i can enjoy a little piece of tranquility they then start something i never want to be near again in my life
A geek debate,you know a debate that is so geeky that it defies the logic of debating and well communication and enjoyment for lets say the masses of the non geeks
it starts off with Geek son #1,hey that rhymes!,"So who do you think contributed more to science? Einstein or Newton"
I hear this and my mind goes,WTF are you on? I mean come on its a saturday night,a fucking beautiful night,with great food and of all the things to discuss on such a beautiful time ,turd comes up with this.
People would normally shoot this down ,I mean I would have literally ripped him a new asshole ,but his mother and father started a proper debate over this,probably like the geeks they are,this went on for a good 10 minutes, I guess they even have a long nice debate about whether colgate or pepsodent uses the correct amount of fluoride in the respective toothpaste brands.
All the while i have my head in my hands and my mom asks me "whats wrong?"
i tell her that the freaks are discussing crap and Can i open my trap to shut em up,to which she naturally says "NO",because she knows of my "talent"
While the debate doesn't end the waiter comes up with the bill ,mom picks it up and starts lambasting the poor waiter
"What the hell is this,i cant read anything,its printed so lightly,what the hell?"
And i felt so bad for the bloke but then
he smiled,took the bill from the lady's hand and flipped it around,She was reading the wrong side of the bill ,EPIC PAWNAGE and THAT shut the lady up,which just proved my point that being geeky is worse than being freaky,but that you might say is just my point of view right?
well thanks to all my MBA classes i decided to hold a poll,so i put up a question as to who would you punch first if you had the chance and be completely immune from punishment
A geek or a Freak
9 out of the ten respondents said GEEK
and one person who did say "Adeem" said so because of that barnstorming result i had in my MAT exam[98.55%,don't ask me how i got it,i am just as baffled as every other person] so i count it as another vote for the geek
So there you have it a 100% vote for punching a geek anytime over a freak.
Nuff Said
People have called me a freak over the years and I take that in my stride because being freaky ain't easy but it sure is fun, invariably I end up making some person burst out in laughter or at least bring a smile to someone's face, now something that might shock you people is that this freak within me was not always there, in fact I at one stage of my life was something that i hate nowadays .....a Geek.

and one person who did say "Adeem" said so because of that barnstorming result i had in my MAT exam[98.55%,don't ask me how i got it,i am just as baffled as every other person] so i count it as another vote for the geek
So there you have it a 100% vote for punching a geek anytime over a freak.

Sexism and Equality
Now most people , in fact women as a whole complain about the fact that they arent treated "equally" or given equal chances to do things and are always bullied out by men, they rant and its quite justified because we have been [as a country and a complete community] been trying to push the entire female gender down under the soles of the other gender men, am keeping the 3rd genders away from this topic, for now.
My point now is that while we have tried our level best to you know bridge the gap between the sexes and try to treat the other gender equally but still a few of them, i dont mean the vast majority but still a few of em arent happy enough with our "treatment" of the other sex, they still say that men are preferred and treated better in most circumstances, but the question is do women actually know how we men treat other men, as in friends and or enemies?
First thing we do is abuse the shit out of each other, either behind each others backs[ well actually this is what women do], if we men have to say something we do say it , no beating around the bush and of course abuse the day lights out of each other especially if we are friends, in fact I personally abuse my friends and close friends a hell lot more than the people i hate or dont like, so i should technically and every man should not shut their trap when they see a woman close by, because of course they should see how we arent acting or treating em differently
Infact that is my bone of contention, why is it that women are supposed to be treated the same but still be treated differently when we men are around em,dont abuse,dont shout,dont act like you have never eaten food before and hog out, dont make sexual jokes,its not like women dont do the same,just because they do it in a group all silent and unknown to idiots does it mean its alright for them but not for us?
Like in one case,while i was abusing in college a girl tells me
"adeem you should look at who is around you,like a girl is there, you shouldnt abuse"
me:did i abuse you?
girl: no
me:See thats the problem, when i try to treat men and women the same , you people still have a problem, and rather than saying that i treat women equally i end up being a sexist and a chauvinist .
Its simple, women have double standards,they want the best of both worlds
its like
They want to have the cake,eat it too,not share it,bake a brand new cake,show it to the men ,make em drool and then say,"you dirty rascals dont know how to behave,so we eat this cake also"
typical

Suspension Tension
Since i always start any of my blogs of by knocking off any conceptions you would have about the topic in the beginning itself, this time around it isnt the same, what i write as the blog topic is what i am going to talk about and not about the strength of suspenders or slacks
So let me start off with a prelude to what led to the unfortunate "suspension", we are lucky enough to have corporate connects , ie people from different companies come and lecture us about how the real conditions of work are and how things are actually done in a corporate and we are all very happy at the fact that we get such amounts of experience but some of the faculty who come are very knowledgeable and some just infuriate the shit out of us, well especially me.
Here is one such example where a visiting professor from a college in calcutta came to talk about green technology and well why we should apply "greenology" while we decide on factories and all and said "The reason why we are losing our natural resources so fast and cannot be sustainable is because of overpopulation that too of the Muslim nations like Malaysia and Indonesia"
Umm wait what?
India is more populous than both countries combined including the density of population, even china is more populated hell man south american countries are much more densely populated than India but hell he must blame the Musalman
So some of these sessions are a waste and especially if a session is at the last period the teacher would just go on and on and on and make us wait till 6 PM which means i would reach home by around 8 PM, this was something i was not looking forward to recently when we were told of another corporate connect on wednesday but as usual we decided on the last minute not to attend the session as it was the last class of the day and we knew it would be a drag.
So all me best 5 buddies from college decided to bunk the session little did we know what that had in store for us the next day,as we left college Wasim kept on saying even before our leaving the place
"Bhai aaj nahin karega toh bamboo parega", but as usual i didnt pay attention to his words, no one did but that ass's black tongue got us yet again.
So as we leave we see that almost 70 students arent attending the session but only 11 did ,oh well we though , this has happened before and all,the next day we reach college as usual and nothing seems out of the ordinary we had come up with a few excuses as to why we werent in the seminar but nothing too serious or anything, as soon as our first class was to start the Registrar came in and told all the people who attended the last session to go to another class and told the rest of us ie the majority of the class that
"Classes are suspended without any notice and you all must leave the campus in 5 minutes and we will take a decision after your parents call us"
Baaam panic and pandemonium strike because no one wants their parents to get involved, i dont care as i have a perfect record in everything in college and my parents know about all that i do in and out of college so a parents call is the least of my worries while most people are shit scared i have a wry smile on my face
"Chal at least i get a few days off"
Sir tells us to call the college at either 5 PM or before 10 AM the next day,so while we all leave i decide to call me mom and while i am laughing hard i some how blabber out that i have been suspended , now had i not been a STB student or had this been my first suspension my mom would have gone berserk but obviously she
didnt and rather than asking "WHY did you get suspended? She asked Well for how many days are you suspended?"
I was sure of a few days but even more funny was watching the creation of little factions of students who were plotting as to how to go about this problem whether to go and ask for forgiveness or to start a strike or to go and sit in class and hope for the best, 30 minutes later the same people are still waiting to do something, rather than do something on their own they want someone else to take the first step , no one did.
I decided no point in staying over and we all went back home, where i called me dad up and told him the situation and also the fact that i havent bunked any class and all and in fact this was the first seminar i had actually bunked and also told him to keep calm and not murder or obliterate someone over the phone like he normally can and mostly does on a regular basis. so he does call up the people and gives em a lashing as well about how his time was wasted while he was made to hold the phone and all but even he wasnt pissed off at me because well it wasnt my fault that i got suspended and i didnt get suspended alone it was just a way to shake up the students and you know make sure the parents know about what is happening here , not a bad move but the thing that really ticked me off more than the suspension was
The fact that it wasnt a suspension at all,one day off and then baaam we are to go back to college the next day?
Dammit i thought for sure i was to get a good old long weekend,friday off as well but as usual my luck is not as good as it could be and i had to report back to class the next day itself and everything was back to normal, no tension in the air and nothing, after all the melodrama and all that happened the previous day,the factions being made, the abuses being thrown the people getting shit scared about their parents call , it was back to normal again the next day
I mean i know i wouldnt get proper suspension like a month or something here but come on we all needed a break and a few days off from here wouldnt be the worst thing in the world, am sure even the teachers would have like a bit of peace and tranquility away from the students and their stupid ideas and questions, i know i would have loved it.
