Engineering Student VS The Exam

I recently gave my 6th semester exams(Yeah.......my university really sucks) and it sank like the Titanic. However, I noticed a number of peculiarities associated with exams(engineering exams in particular). It was not the first time I noticed them, but rather I was reminded of them by the disaster that the exams brought upon me. I finally decided to mention some of them here:

1. The exam will always come as an unexpected guest. At least that's what happens in our university. We are told a date, we start to study(I mean we excluding me) and then it gets postponed a month. So you get relaxed but whoopah!!! there it is, rescheduled to some earlier date. This might happen twice or thrice for a single exam.

2. You would never have enough leave to prepare for the exams. I am talking about the average student(read: students like vj). Be it a day of leave or a whole week, the true engineer would always start at the last hour.

3. What you have been taught in class, what comes in the question papers and what you answer in the answer sheets have no relation whatsoever.

4. During the exam, everyone except you would be doing great.

5. The portions you leave, thinking that they are not important, would be asked for sure.

6. Another point associated with the above one: If there are two topics which could be asked for an essay question and you are given choice in such questions, then if you leave one topic and prepare the other one, the essay will always be a two part question with one part being from the topic you left, in both the choices. (Happens with me aaaaaaaalllllll the time).

7. You would be the only one the invigilator watches constantly, the rest could cheat behind her back like eating a pie.

8. A practical subject would have a fully theoretical paper while the theoretical one would have only practical questions.

9. All the previous year question papers would have repeated questions but never yours.

10. And finally, never expect anything from the exams........ the paper that you think was the best would have the least marks while that which went horribly wrong would be your best scored subject.

If you have anything else to add, please do so. Raise your voice against the atrocities towards engineering students!!!!

LIMBO

OK, here it is finally. My first game review. I always used to give my (unwanted) opinion about various games to my friends(being a self proclaimed gamer has some duties like annoying friends with your "expertise"), but never have I written a full review. It might be a bit difficult for non-gamers to understand some of the terms but I will try to keep the language as simple as possible. So let us start but before that let me say this : THIS GAME IS AWESOME.

Limbo is a puzzle platform game developed by danish independent developer "Playdead". The game was released for the Xbox live arcade in July 2010. I read about it in a newspaper and then checked it out online. From that time Limbo became one more reason for me to buy an Xbox with my first salary. But to my great surprise, the game was re-released for the PC platform on august 2 and I downloaded it right away(Rich gamers should not make faces,cause I don't get 9$ to buy a game). The Xbox game had already won a number of accolades and the PC game didn't disappoint a bit either.

Plot : There is not much of a story in Limbo cause none was provided by the developers either. This however adds a touch of mystery to the game. At the end it leaves you terribly confused and anxious to know what you were doing in the entire game, and start proposing your own theories about the plot. You would end up playing the game again and again just to get some clue to support your hypothesis. I ended up searching the whole internet to get a satisfying story for Limbo and I did find one. The game basically features you as a faceless boy( maybe 8 or 10 years old, it's hard to tell) who wakes up in the woods and then starts an adventure to find a girl(probably his sister). You would have to pass through different areas of the world and would be challenged by a number of puzzles that you would have to solve in order to advance. Its the ending that makes you pull out your hair(play it and you will know)

Presentation : Limbo has no tutorials, no cut scenes, no text, no dialogues and yet you will connect to the game instantly. The presentation is unique, there is no concrete starting, neither is there a firm ending to the game. This increases your enthusiasm to play Limbo...........when nothing is known, its upto you to solve the mystery. Limbo will knock your socks off. I give it a 9.5 for presentation.

Graphics : Frankly I never play a game for its graphic exuberance, all that matters to me is the gameplay. Believe me, I would still rank Half-Life way above Crysis 1 or 2(Those who have played HL and Crysis series know what I am talking about, those who don't get it check out the videos of these games and you would understand). But the graphics of this game just made me drool in awe. Its nothing as jazzy as Bioshock or Crysis, in fact it's just charcoal and black ink on a brightly lit canvas. Yes the whole game is black and white only and above that, its just a side scroller, but the way it has been presented is simply marvelous. The level of detail( only in the sense that its just black ink) is unmatched by even some hotshot big budget titles. Limbo is a dark and bitter game. The whole world in Limbo seems gloomy which though is what playdead wanted to show. A quest where their is no surety of success but death is present in ample. The only thing that brings optimism into the plot are the white butterflies that flutter around in the world. The world created by playdead is gorgeous with different areas such as the woods and and a city to give you maximum variety in gameplay. The game although is full of gore(and every animation is very satisfying indeed) and that's why rated teen( I guess watching a little boy being decapitated by a saw or being impaled into spikes is not everyone's cup of tea). For graphics I give it a 9.5.

Gameplay : As I said earlier,the first thing I look in a game is the gameplay and Limbo makes me do the cha-cha-cha with joy. The gameplay is simple yet strong. Solve puzzles using your wits and the environment around you and you can proceed. Sounds easy?? Well its not. You will die or get stuck so many times in Limbo that you would want to kill yourself in real life as well. However, the game has been built like that, you learn by dying, and you can continue as much as you want. About the simplicity of the gameplay...........there are just 5 controls at your disposal - 4 movement keys plus one for interaction. What more, you can't crouch, the down arrow will be used only a few times in the game. The puzzles are interesting and would make you use your top floor to the max. The environment in Limbo is ruthless and brutal, ready to kill you at every point. From giant spiders to machine guns.... you get a piece of everything. Its a short game as well, you can complete it within an hour if you are a pro. I give it a 10 in gameplay.

Sound : There is not much audio effects in Limbo, no background score either. Being a horror genre, one would expect some horrifying sound effects. But Limbo is no dead space, its motive is not to spook you but to make you realize the graveness of the danger the boy is in. Removing the background score and minimizing the sound effects, in fact does the trick. The buzzing of the saw hidden in darkness and the cracking of electric hoardings over a silent background intensifies the experience, you can't expect more than this. In sound its 9.

Appeal and Replayability : Every minute of the game is pure fun. There is no slogging, the game moves at a constant engaging pace. You would never feel bored at any point of the game. As far as replayability is concerned, though some sites would tell you that that it has high replay value, I would say that once played, Limbo would seem redundant the next time, cause you know the solution to all the puzzles. If for anything, you can replay Limbo to get all achievements, but that too is for gamers who have bought the game and who want to show off their stats in the Limbo community. Other than that its a one time pleasure like a scoop of Ice-cream. 9 here.

Verdict : THIS GAME IS AWESOME ( deja vu anyone??) Listen to me, you need to play this game, gamer or no gamer. Its a short game but hey its an indie game and its brilliant. Go play it. Non-gamers, start your gaming life with this game.

P.S : If anyone wants it, please ask me.

The land of lungi

A day for my friends????? Are you kiddin???

Hola people!!!! Well some people have been asking me for the past few days, why there isn't a new post in this blog(really, two of them asked). So let me say that I was kind of.......... lost for some time so didn't got time to write. However, on this auspicious day(for network companies and Archie's) I decided to post something.

Well about the topic, its what everyone asks 'diplomatically'- "why do we need a day to remember our friends???" and in rebellion as-" Boo Friendship's day cause it materializes friendship!!! Down with commercialization of friendship's day!!! We love our friends and we don't need a day to remember them". Well guys, all you say is right, but friendship's day is not merely about remembering your friends but its about valuing friendship. Its more like an accolade for one of the best things in our lives. I heard this in a movie but I find it appropriate for this day- "We get all other relationships by fate, but we get the privilege to choose our friends. That's why its the greatest of all." As I said, I find it appropriate but not quite true. I love my friends for sure but..... well..... I love my family more(Its just me guys, please don't grind your teeth). OK back to the topic. So as I was saying this day is not only about remembering your friends but its also about making new ones(Yes you can make friends any time of the year but think about it, everyone will be in a mood this day), its about sorting out your differences with friends who got lost due to misunderstandings, its about thanking those special people for making our lives extra special cause we do love them but we rarely ever appreciate them.

Now I wouldn't talk about friendship cause honestly I don't have words to express or admire it. Its nothing that can be wrapped in words or penned down. We all have a thousand tongues for it so I dare not give you a version of mine. But, I would like to say something about broken friendships or misunderstandings. A friend of mine told me that you never loose a friend, once made they are forever...... And I said to him - grow up brother. Cause you do loose friends over stupid misunderstandings, but whether you have the guts to mend the damage or not, this is the question. Because at last it always reaches to whose fault it was and who will apologize first. If you care about your friendship enough and you can take the initiative then wallah problem solved, but if neither of you want to give in then its over, believe me I am an example. But hold on, this is just temporary. You can get along anytime you come back to senses. If you ask me I always have fights with my friends and I was always able to correct everything except one.

And one other thing, this 'issue' normally happens with girls I guess- "he/she didn't message me or called me for a long time. He/she is not a real friend". Now people it doesn't matter if your friend doesn't call you, message you or send you Farmville requests, cause if you ask me I would rather like my friend sitting beside me silently in my sorrows than sympathizing with me over Facebook. Seriously, I mean I rarely call any of my north Indian friends, but whenever we get together it is fiesta. Anyhow, I would like to quote a poetry on this subject. I am quoting this in relevance and not because I myself wrote it and I am dying for an audience. I wrote this poetry for a friend who had this same problem as stated above. Its hindi and a bit of urdu so malayalis please forgive me. Here it goes:

Hamne tumhe yaad na kiya, toh tum rooth gaye,

Tumne socha hum bhi auron ki tarah ho gaye,

Tumne maan liya ki hamse dosti kabhi karni hi nahi thi,

Par tum bhool gaye ki dosti ko alfazon ki zaroorat nahi hoti.

Yeah its not good, but its the first one I ever wrote so just swallow it. If you can understand what I meant to say then it was worth the effort I guess.

Now at last I would really like to give my version of friendship(Forget what I said earlier. My blog my rules). I actually don't differentiate among my friends so I don't have best friends or close friends. They are just friends. And those who really touch my heart become much more than just friends, they become my family.

Well that's it, kinda last moment and written half-heartedly, I know, but well, as I said I am kinda lost these days. Love your friends people and cherish the moments you spend together.

Happy Friendship's Day my dear ones.

Hey! There's a bomb in my puttu.....

This incident happened couple of days back when we got hungry at 12 midnight(again). Its kind of mandatory for students of the GEC men's hostel to feel hungry at late hours. But its us alone, and not the abrupt dinner time of 7 P.M or the bad food of the mess, who are responsible(satire intended). Anyhow, we settled to buy "Puttu and Kadala" from Double X( I realized that each and every word in that sentence must have felt funny to the marwadis but well....). Now definitely many of you might not know what puttu or kadala is so I am gonna tell you. Puttu is a Keralite dish made from rice in cylindrical shapes. It is steamed and extremely delicious so everyone but especially the health conscious people can enjoy it. Kadala on the other hand is our "Chana". This is the standard combination puttu and kadala curry, but the best thing about puttu is that it can be eaten with almost any dish, veg or non-veg(Go check it out on the wiki, I bet your mouth would start watering). Double X is the pilgrimage for every hungry hostler in Thrissur. Its a restaurant that opens at 11 at night!!! and remains opened till 5 in the morning(If I am wrong correct me please my fellow hostlers). Its good food plus available at reasonable rates. So as Prashanth and Varun set out to buy us the food, this is what happened.

They were stopped by a police patrol who were doing random checks to prevent terrorist activities such as bombings. Now according to Kerala police, puttu is a very potent explosive and combined with kadala its lethal. Its not wrong that they were stopped for checking at midnight, but they were kept humiliated for 20 mins even when the police came to know that they were just going to buy some food. So what did they thought, that two lungi clad goofy looking kids are going to blow up something. Like, yes the engineering students in Thrissur have come up with new terror devices: 1.Puttu bomb(with kadala it works like clay-more), 2. Dosha detonator, 3. Vada killer(When used it sprays 'ulli chamandhi' in your eyes), 4. Poisnous Idli(Wait a minute...... we actually get that in mess)..... Anyways, what I mean to say is that it was illogical for the police to waste their time and prolong our hunger. And for God's sake, there is nothing even remotely important in Thrissur to be blown up, apart from the beautiful temples, churches and mosques of course, but then again terrorists only attack places where there is a crowd ;) (So police should tighten security near Vimala college, PC Thomas coaching center and every girl's hostel)

Well after 20 minutes of humiliation, abuse, discouragement and suicidal thoughts, my friends were left just like that, even when they didn't had their license or the papers for the vehicle. Now many of my Rajasthani friends might think, what a dumb police, they just let go some mullah. No No No my friends let me clarify it. Kerala police is actually smarter than Rajasthan police. You see, Rajasthan police would f**k you even if they know that you have no money. They will be satisfied with the little dough they get and leave their prey. Now this prey won't ever make the same blunder again due to fear. But Kerala police will let you go with just a warning, so you get happy and feel lucky. Then you try to do the same trick again thinking, "hey these cops are dumb enough", but this time Kerala police f**ks you big time, and they f**k you so hard that you won't have money even to buy an underwear.

All in all, everything after that went smoothly. We got our tummies full and had a good sleep but this bomb incident will be a memory.........at least for two people.

Peace and the Dead Indian

So, it happened again. Another series of bomb blasts, rattled India and as always the government stood drooling like a retard(no offense meant for the disabled, just a figure of speech). But what bothers me more is that the news didn't bring a shock for me, it didn't even intrigue me. So, I ask myself -"have you turned to a stone completely vj??" And the answer as well pops at once - "I am not turning to stone........ Every other Indian is as well.". I say this because I know that none of the people I know around me were actually interested in the news. Some did post their concern on their Facebook walls, but it was momentous rather than willing. And I pretty much believe that most of us forgot the incident the very next day. So the question is, have Indians decided to accept rather than retaliate. Facebook updates and angry SMSs won't help the dead and nor would writing blogs. So what do we do???

Before we discuss further, I would like to jump to this other hot topic : Ajmal Kasab. Now I have heard it, read it and felt it: why in the hell is the government baby sitting Kasab for over a year now?? Well I won't say anything about the government in this matter cause I have no idea how politics is played. Why the government would spend more money on securing Kasab than subsidizing LPG? Its like, you come home crying after being bitten by a mad dog, but rather than beating the shit out of the dog, your father starts prancing around with it. Hell, if I had to deal with Kasab, I would have kept a gun on Kasab's head and said- "Alright motherf***er this is how it goes. I will count upto 3. Before I stop counting, you would start telling me names and locations of your commanders, your bases,your accomplices and aides in India. 1..2..3..BOOM." Over. Now if asked to the government, they would say that this kind of step would result in loss of evidence and jeopardize our relations with the neighbors. And I say, for the past one year all we had been doing was having tea parties with the people who are trying to destroy us and also wiping their dog's ass. Its better that we shoot the dog, kick the guests out and get our hands clean now. I am not a violent person...... Ok, yes I am but never have I lost my temper without a reason and nor do I support illogical bloodshed but I know one thing: You f**k with me and I will break your d**k. And frankly speaking I don't get Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's learning's either(Mahatma Gandhi supporters, this is not an assault on him or congress so please don't flood the comments with details of his greatness and abuses for me). I don't understand showing my other cheek just to be slapped again. And those he called terrorists, the revolutionaries, I really believe in their theory. For how they defined it was, its not violence but self-defense. And I believe that what I said about dealing with Kasab and other terrorists, is in fact defense, not for me, but for my future, my children. Because I know that it would come back for our children as well.

Now we come back to our earlier agenda, has India or more appropriately Indians, succumbed to the scrutiny of our oppressors? Well, the answer to it is with you only and I tell you its different for every Indian. If you ask me, I had been hearing about terrorist attacks in India since childhood, one of them even happened in my city Jaipur. I had been a part of a war as well(not literally but our lives were affected in a way.) So what happened was that I became so acceptable of calamities that they stopped making me anxious. It doesn't mean that I don't care anymore. I do have concern for the injured and sympathy for the dead as well as anger for the assailants but the difference is that I have grown sterner and sans wordily or expressive emotions. I do think that everyone of us has some reason for our casual attitude towards such incidents. Some people may don't even care about what happens to others(Don't nod your head cause you know as well that their are many self-centered people, people who don't even care about their own children, leave alone the nation.). But I believe that everyone I know still have their soul intact and they do care, for my friend Prashanth wouldn't have paused listening to his favorite music when he heard this news :P. Believe me he wouldn't have had done that even if I had died.(Just Kidding)

Many of you might think that even though I named the post "Peace and the Dead Indian" I didn't even mention peace once. All I did was prattle about ignorance, revenge and Ajmal Kasab.

Well, when I sat down to write I wanted to write about peace, but as I progressed I found out that my mind was angry and indecisive. I can't tell you about peace when I myself am not at peace with this subject. And I am not telling you this as some cigar-smoking, goatee-brandishing philosopher, its what I think. Cause these horrid times are not meant for peace making but for strengthening our defenses. Talking about peace now is like talking about celibacy in a wh**ehouse. I hope you understand or rather enlighten me on peace.

Waiting eagerly for your responses. Please do comment.

Attention!!!

Well, I am very glad that people have been reading my blog and also like it, but I would like to make a statement here.

This is basically for girls and some men who do not appreciate raw language. The thing is people that I write my posts as words come to my mind, as any other guy would imagine them. So the language in the posts could sometimes be abusive and for some it may also seem vulgar. But let me assure you that I am not trying to start a raunchy blog (I am not a pervert), but I like to write the truth and it can, at times, be very crude. I will try my best to censor the objectionable words, but you know that even if I omit some letters or * them, your mind is dirty enough to form them back. So for people who can't digest such language please forgive me and it will be better for you to not read the posts.

If you have any suggestions on how to counter this situation, please comment below, I would really like to know your opinion.

Thank you.

iLl-FaTeD

Hello.......to all 3 of you. I just got this feeling of writing something about this particular syndrome. I'll tell you what it is..... but first answer these questions:

1. Do you feel that you are the only one who has got a bad luck and all the others around you are quite happy?
2. Do you think that when you are about to get in trouble, you always feel that its gonna get worse and it actually does happen so ?
3. Do you often compare yourself with the most wretched person around you, thinking 'hey I am way better than him/her but still I am the one who gets in shit and not him/her' ?

If your answer is a yes for anyone of the above questions, then its a yes for the rest of them as well. Don't try to refuse cause I am pretty much sure that every person thinks so. For those who have all NOs for the questions and boasting a wide grin - "Get the hell outta here LIARS".

Now I shall tell you what this is about. Its actually called the "Ill-fated Paradox" (No, its not an actual term, I just invented it). For all my nerdy friends who know the meaning of paradox and all the curious friends who have googled it by now, I will explain why I call it a paradox. As for the ignorant, keep reading . A paradox is a statement/s which together may lead to a contradiction or a situation which is not logical. Now according to the above paradox, each and every person on Earth has the same three feelings that means that every person believes that the other person is happier which would conclude that either everyone is happy or everyone is equally screwed, which again defies the paradox, now do you get it?????......... Alright, alright I know it doesn't make any sense. I just named it like that because it sounded cool. But the situation still exists.

Everyone of us, when met with a challenge or trouble, starts believing that his life is so tough and that he is Ill-fated and then they start worrying and become grumpy accompanied by some very sweet diseases. I have had this feeling since childhood. I didn't get a candy:: God! I am ill-fated. The teacher checks my homework and then beats my ass:: God! I am ill-fated. My father agrees to buy me that toy after 4 hours of wailing and then I find that the store is closed:: God! I am ill-fated. Every friend of mine has a girlfriend and I don't:: God! I am ill-fated. I am 22 and still a vi.......... sorry..... just got over emotional. But the fact is that we all do have this mentality. I finally decided to write about this after a particular incident happened.

Our(my colleagues and me) marking scheme for sessionals include 15 marks for assignment work which one of our lecturers decided to calculate by assessing our notebooks also. Now when I finally receive my sessionals, I find that he hasn't given me any marks for my notebook work to which he stated that I was unable to produce the notebook when he had asked for it. It gets better, after I convince him that I had my notes complete and that I had kept it for review in his office, he assures that he will check his records again but told me that I should also keep my notebook ready for verification. The fact is that I believe it got lost.

Now I am not a nerd, geek, padhaku, padipist or any other honorifics you have for class toppers. And even without those 5 marks it won't be that bad for me, but the fact is that its not extra marks that I desire. My mind works like this: If I had earned it, I must get it. For god's sake, I don't even buy a notebook for other subjects, but for this one I made complete notes and even submitted them and then if I don't get marks, I get pissed.

So what do I want to convey?? I got lower marks and thought I am in trouble. Then, when asked to keep the notebook ready, I had a feeling that I am not going to find it and it happened. Then I looked at this jerk who had got better marks than me, I thought why me and not him? You see......."Ill-fated Paradox". What I am saying is that it happens with everyone and it really gives you a headache(I myself spent hours searching for my notebook). So how do you tackle it???? I have a solution:- try finding peace in other's misery. Yeah, it sounds sick but I am not telling you to tango in front of this other guy pointing out his miseries. Rather try to see that you are not the only one with a bad day, others too have problems even worse than you, and they are still coping. So try to believe that god is not trying to doom your life alone. Like I did, I got dejected about this incident but then suddenly I thought of my colleague who got only 16 marks in his engineering graphics final examination, just because he hadn't much time to mark the question numbers against the drawings. How dumb is that??? Its like getting fu**ed by a d**do with rusted iron nails on it. Man, he must have been pissed like hell. Then, I just got relaxed. Although I still wanted those 5 marks but I was not tensed anymore.

This is just my opinion, but I believe that this "paradox" does exist and there may be many other ways to overcome it, much better ways maybe. So I would like you all to comment and leave your opinion about it.

P.S : People who are going to list yoga or Baba Ramdev as a remedy, should not bother posting.

Thank You for reading.

Finally the obsession of writing blogs among engineering students engulfed me as well. But while others have some strong motives behind writing a blog such as 'bringing about a revolution'(read with air quotes), I on the other hand, don't have such higher purposes. So anybody looking for technical magnificence or artistic brilliance shall refrain from this blog. Such people may comment below and I shall happily direct you to the blogs of more apt people.

So for the remaining people( if left any) I would like to start by explaining why I chose such an absurd name for a blog. I would like to tackle the first two words together : Mallus and Marwadis. Well its simple, I am a Keralite by birth and a Rajasthani by upbringing. You can visualize me as a Mundu clad guy eating Daal, Bati and Choorma. Till I was in Rajasthan(for the whole 19 years), I was called a Mallu, not only me but every other Keralite kid whom I knew. However, when I came to Kerala to pursue my B.Tech, I was given a new nick name : Marwadi. So in a way I was never able to mingle with either group completely. It never bothered me much though, but the way I was treated by each group made me see them in a different light. I don't say that any of them were harsh on me, in fact the majority of people I met from both groups were extremely friendly and many are now like family to me, but this experience helped me pick up those minute details that otherwise I wouldn't had noticed had I blended with each group completely. It was very interesting to see the common myths each group had about the other, and so I would like to clarify some things here:

#For my Rajasthani friends:-

1. No, there is not a single state in southern India called Madras and not every south Indian is a 'madrasi'. In fact southern India comprises of three states namely Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
2. Yes, the majority of us wear lungi, but we are not the only ones and neither have we invented it. If you care to observe almost all men from various states prefer wearing lungi such as Punjab, Bihar and West Bengal. I have even seen some Rajasthani men wearing lungi so stop making lungi jokes on us.
3. Yes, a lot of us drink and we drink hard. We can be like the storage houses of liquor once a major occasion nears. But unlike the rumors, most of us know how to keep it inside.
4. Yes, many of us including a lot of Hindus devour on cow meat, but neither is it disgusting nor is it an attack on any religion. Our religions have never restricted us on eating habits.
5. Finally, not all of us have doctorates in English. So every idiot who told me in school - "Tu toh south indian hai, teri toh english achchi hogi hi" - should eat dirt.

# For my Keralite friends :-

1. No, North India doesn't have a single state called Uttar Pradesh. There are around 7 states that comprise North India one of them being Rajasthan.
2. No, not all of us are hot headed, but if we get pissed then only god can save you.
3. No, our food is not unhealthy and bland because we don't use coconut oil. If you ask me, there is nothing better than North Indian food (Sorry my mallu friends).
4. Not every one of us is intellectually inferior to every other Keralite. We have many brilliant minds.
5. Finally, not all of us have doctorates in English. So every idiot who told me in college - "Ni UPinalle, veruthe alla ninde english super aayathu." - should eat dirt.

Well I should make clear that this is not compulsory for every Keralite or Rajasthani but for the many people I have met and who keep this mentality.

So you might ask what do I consider myself : a mallu or a marwadi. I would say both. I am bicultural and believe me its much fun being that way. Being brought up like this had its disadvantages but it also had its benefits like If I am walking with a mallu friend in Rajasthan we can check out girls and discuss it in Malayalam and no one would understand what the heck we are saying. To relieve anger, I can abuse any of my college friends with the biggest curses in Rajasthani and they won't get offended. They might even smile in response. So, problem solved and no harm done. Its these small perks that makes this experience worthwhile.

We move on to video games now. Nothing much to say, I am just crazy about them. On the list of five things I can't live without, Video Games would come at no.4 above 'sleep'. I am passionate about them so you would have to love them as well as they will be an integral part of this blog.

So, what could you expect from the posts?? Well thats where this blog differs, You don't expect anything. Its not a dedicated blog so I may post anything: maybe my life experiences,my opinions, a video game or movie review, my poetry (yeah I write, stop giggling). We may have discussions here or share stuff/information beneficial for everyone.

I don't know if anyone's going to follow my blog, but for those who do I just have one thing to say :Its gonna be fun.
