New MP3 Player

My "birthday present" from my parents... Yeah, Philips SA2825 2GB MP3 player and this thing is belated, so don't ask me why am I blogging about it now. यार, एक हफ्ता हुआ है मुझे इस चीज़ के साथ बिताए, पर I haven't got any real pleasure (now, now...guys, don't take this in a different sense). I mean, yeah, okay... I have always wanted a MP3 player... of 2 GB capacity... with FM... black... cute... sweet... and loaded with my favourite songs. But somehow, I'm not that happy as I expected to be. One of the main reasons, I think, is that शायद मुझे इसकी सच में ज़रुरत नहीं थी. I always wanted to have the songs I like within reach so that I don't have to switch on my comp every time but I can't term it as a real need or reason to spend 2650 bucks. And another reason is, this device is a sure shot way to drift away from friends (any of you folks want to break up with your girl or guy, try this... hehe!). कुछ दिन पहले तक बस मोनालिसा और सोलांकी के पास phone पर music player था. मेरे पास नहीं था. ऐसी कोई ख़ास problem नहीं थी... गाना सुनना होता था तो उन्ही दोनों से सुन लेती थी. पर अब तो झमेला ये है कि अधिकतर समय हम तीनो कान में earphone डाल लेते हैं और आपस में बात नहीं करते! I got so pissed when I noticed this, that the next day, I intentionally left my player at home even though we had free period. हद है! So, now I have decided- unless I am going to Spanish classes (when I have to sit in the bus for a long time doing nothing) or I'm doing lab work (I don't need to concentrate to do that...^_^) I won't carry my player in my bag... मेरे को सत्य का ज्ञान हो गया है! Next time I buy a gadget, I'll ask myself- DO I REALLY NEED IT?
Adios...

He's So Cute...Gawd!

[Hey, whatever I'm writing below is what I feel. I may not know a lot of things about the Government and stuff, so feel free to tell me where I'm going wrong...right?]
Yeah...real cute. That was my reaction when I saw the newspaper this morning. Gosh... and white really does suit him.:) And he resembles his dad but is better looking, no doubt on that. But most importantly, he's young and promising. Yeah, you got it folks! It's RAHUL GANDHI. No, let's get serious...it's not just his looks. We certainly need young leaders in our country. A few days back, it was Sachin Pilot who had all my attention, 'cause at that time Young Gandhi was somewhere in the background. See, I'm not much into politics and stuff, but recently two things have forced me to pay attention to this matter called Our Government. One, Jaago Re (Shubha asked me to check the website...it's serious stuff) and two, Lead India (courtesy, The Times of India- my favourite newspaper). Basically, it's these questions (with huge question marks) that they are asking the youth today, the most eye-grabbing questions being- "Why does the world's youngest democracy has the oldest government?" or "Isn't there a retirement age for politicians?" etc. It's kinda easy to say "To hell with it!" and not to give a damn, to ask, "What has that got to do with us?" and go on without a thought to spare for this, but I ask you, "Isn't it going to come back to us in the end?" It is... If you don't know, the latest crap I got to hear from one of the leading parties was something about them putting a stop to English Medium education in the country if they come to power (like I said in my post "The Hate Brigade"...all in the name of what they term as culture). Funny thing is, the prominent party leaders themselves have their kids enrolled in some well-known english-medium schools...:D But my question is- Should we let them do this? Should we let weird, insensible people like these to run our government? Shouldn't we put our efforts into creating a government which knows what is more important- stopping youngsters going into malls or stopping terrorists from sneaking into our country? CAN'T WE DO ANYTHING AT ALL? I'm not much good at motivating people, so I won't say too much...I will let you think about it (while I wait to get my voter ID card...as soon as possible). Hope you get an answer soon. Adios! :)

Weirdo...:D

Just go through what Solanki Halder (मेरी प्यारी classmate) has written in her blog...scenes in our class! Yeah, well, all that does happen...we are all crazy people doing crazy stuff...:D To hell with our पागलपन hehehe... By the way, I'm not posting anything 'cause I'm really busy. Guess...yeah, right. Goddamned second internal exams. If I could just fry either these WBUT people or the "supposedly" cute puppies living on our college campus (adored by Sola, Mona and ESPECIALLY Shubha)... UFF! One of these freaky days...

Thank You...

Well...yesterday was my birthday. :) Yeah, okay, I was feeling all special and happy. अरे, साल में एक ही बार तो आता है, ना? And yeah, I had to stay up for the messages and calls at 12... First of all, Asmi called. That also on my landline! Reason? Airtel से मेरे phone पे कोई call लगता ही नहीं है! I don't know why though...some दुश्मनी they have among themselves... whatever. Somebody forgot as I expected. Then messages came(...though the Airtel ones didn't get delivered). आज कल लोग treat के लिए क्या क्या नहीं करते... I went to college, entered the classroom and almost a dozen people wished me "Happy Birthday"! O_o That was something. Then, without me knowing, Monalisa, Solanki and Shubha brought a cake for me! (And no, they didn't do it for a treat... "Mind it") Then a lot of stuff happened... we didn't have a knife so i had to cut the cake with my scale which I later discarded though I had thought of keeping it for memories' sake... there were no candles so these people stuck two ice-cream sticks in the cake (as if I'm a 2 year old kid)... Sola grabbed my arms and Shubha applied lip-gloss on my lips saying "You need to look good today, come-on!"... lot of pics, a weird video taken by Mona and them finishing the ceremony by taking dollops of multi-coloured cream from the cake and sticking it on my nose to make me look like a clown! :D Sola and Mona have just recovered from chicken pox so they said "No" to a treat. Though the guys in my class were continuously bugging me for that... today also they went on for the entire first half. So, at lunch time, I managed to get out of college and get a 2 litre bottle of Sprite (as Kaushik had said "हम काला पानी नहीं पिएगा") and a packet of chips and banged it in front of them when they were having lunch. Then another नौटंकी started. "तुम्हारा birthday है...तुम भी साथ में पियो वरना ले जाओ...हमें नहीं चाहिए..." No matter how much I protested it didn't make a difference to them. So in the end (after Amitesh and Kaushik decided to pour the entire bottle on my head with me climbing on the bench and jumping down on the other side trying hard to escape...though I couldn't, as five of them were surrounding me and Mona and Sola were laughing their heads off) I did take 1 sip (termed as "Formality") and fled from the spot. But still... whatever happened, it was a lot of fun and to tell you people the truth, I loved every moment of it. I don't remember the last time I celebrated my birthday with my friends by cutting a cake. I'll remember this... and I'll miss college. :)
