Long weekend saga ....
Statutory warning : Its nothing much to do hence posted kind of post !! so dont blame me if u get bored !!
The things which were lined up for me during this weekend :
1. Play badminton everyday. But dint know that, labor day means a holiday for the students who manage sports center as well ! So all weekend long, they kept the Keating Sports Center closed, for our dismay >.<
2. Visit the Desi market, Devon street, and get all the indian groceries. But they delivered, my laptop (will come back to it in a while) the same day and i had every reason in the world to get distracted and postpone my trip :D Well we did go there, just that could not get all the stuff ! And i quite dint like the place. It was good to see all the indians, pakistani, bangladeshi, arab families around. But i felt suffocated there. The place made me homesick and i longed to go back home.To be with people i loved, cared for. Hold on, this is really becoming a sad, depressing saga. Fullstop ! discussion ends here !
3. Meet a undergraduate ke days ki friend. Guess i still dont know how to communicate so could not contact the friend, even with an at&t phone : Hope she catches the message i left on her voicemail :( But do they record 15 minute long messages ?? I was trying to give her a detailed route to my place, u know : kidding !!! Bhagwaan help this techno gavaar !! :D
4. Study for the power electronics course and bruch up basics. Moreover do some simulations on matlab for the hi-fi power systems assignment ! i love to talk in jargon.. Dont get worked up, i love not to follow myself, hence dint even open a book/matlab :D Pehle amreekan long weekend pe kaun pagal padhai karta hai :P Not me at least, u nerd !!
Instead i did these extremely fruitful and productive things to keep that lil piece called brain sedated !!
1. Watched rock on!! :) :) dont know where they play hindi movies here and moreover cant afford :D, so saw it online. Good movie. Specially Farhan Akhtar !! No review from my side, just these lines
Aankhon mein jiske koi to khwaab ho..
khush hai wahi jo thoda betaab hai..
zindagi mein koi aarazoo kijiye..
phir dekhiye !!!!!
Hothon pe jiske koi to geet hai..
wo haare bhi to uski hi jeet hai..
dil mein jo geet hai, gunguna lijiye..
phir dekhiye !!!!!
Enjoy :)
the singer of this song is damn good. haunting melody :)
2. Now I am a proud owner of a dell inspiron 1525. Actually i wanted to buy a HP/compaq, after SRK's (he is claimed to be a technology freak!!) endorsements, i think twas the one for me!! But after a long research and a lot of hard work (on my gizmo geek friend's part, of course :D ) i bought this one! Its midnight blue and looks very hot! My new love!!! Though i am not that possessive about it, i still hope its love :D
I have worked on personal computers till date, so having my own lappy is a new experience. Imagine, how well i can customize this one !! aah :) The computer is personal again!! wonder why dell guys dont have a tagline :D
I still dont have a secure internet connection, so not able to make full use of it. But this new baby, has made life happy happy :) :)
3. I bought a potted plant, finally :) :) its a pothos or moneyplant in apna india :) got it really cheap..of course, it should not be a thought, but yaha har kadam pe paiso ke baare mein sochna padta hai :D more on the mere-haath-yaha-bandhe-huye-hai saga in some other post! I have named it maniii (a cheap metaphor, i know :)). So maniii (twinkles in my eyes) is my 2nd love after the 1525 (my lappy, duh!!!).. and i dont blush when talking about him, hope thats love too !! :D
4. My biggest mistake on this happily-ever-after weekend!! i saw bachna ae haseeno :
Lesson learnt, Yashraj movies are not even worth a pirated version watch these days !! I dont believe Bipasha Basu was wearing those skimpy clothes to look so stupid and totally unmodern!! And that small town girl song was crap!! deepika padukone was too a perfect modern girl..i mean in the end she does say yes..so itne attitude ka kya faayda ?? and ranbir kapoor looked like a dud..ekdum lackluster performance..where is the kid we saw in sawariya ?? the only believable person was minisha lamba, cos of her character 'mahi'.. Anyways, why m i making the mistake bigger by writing a full fledged critisism bout this stupid movie !! :- :-
So in this way i spent my long weekend..instead of utilising it for brushing up basics and studying, i did the totally opposite thing, as every student does in his hay days :)
But i have really good excuses to give myself..so the geek in me will hopefully shut up !! :D
Now its time for the long stroll along the beach (lake yaar).. Yane time to put the thinking cap on and plan something fruitful for the next long weekend !!
Its in October sometime.. socho socho..
and lemme know if u have anything special in mind !!
till then,keep that geeky guy in control :D
