Be Myself.......


I saw myself yesterday....and today I hate myself.....
the times have changed...........it has been so hard......
swept by tides of time i've come so far......
how do i know who I was.......
may b tomorrow I wont be myself.........

I had hope...........and believed in self..........
the dices rolled.....the fortunes turned.......
as echoes of failure haunt my ears......
How do i know who i can be.....
may b tomorrow I wont be myself......

I now wait.........and seek myself......
the wounds will heal.....they might leave some scars.....
as I waddle through the sands of time...pain doesn't matter.....
How do I know when I'll be........
may be tomorrow I will be myself.......

\/ Thr33......A trip to Hong Kong......!!!!

Lyf will never get better....a treat followed by this trip...the end to this horrible week was unbelievable.........
I still want to relive that nyt.......
First of all let me clear one serious doubt that we did go to Hong Kong but we did not go to Hong Kong..... :))..well u mit think i have gone crazy but Hong Kong is a restaurant in KGP...and a trip to hong kong is among entries at the top of my list of best trips........

What made it so great.....??What is so great about Hong Kong( i'm getting sick of typing Hong Kong so i'll b using the acronym HK )...??

First of all the Thr33 guys are Me, Bahure and Singhal(pOgO)....

The first of all the trip was so great bcoz of the group....the three musketeers or stooges.......the three of us really had hell of a great time........now we went thr on 15th March...which was our hall day(Azad Hall...my hall of residence..we have this Hall Day where we kind of celebrate the culture of the hostel....also it was Pornos bday...(porno....he is one of my wingies and is the GSec Soc & Cult. of our hall...he was "THE LOADED" guy dat day with all the Hall day celebrations)..so we decided to go play pool at HK.....this idea came to pOgOs mind(luv u for the idea) at 6:00pm.....we decided to leave as early as 6:30......

So as we left the sun had already set.....and the darkness grew.....being the hall day ..the hall was illuminated with all kinds of lights and chandeliers.....so the journey started at an extremely well lit place.....now as soon as we left the premises suddenly the light was not as bright as b4...the streets were not as busy as b4...as we traveled further the scene looked a lot different from our campus.....the whole road had no street lights.....the road had forest on either sides and only heavy vehicles were plying on the road with their blinding head lights and deafening horns....two of us(Bahure and me)wer on a rickshaw while pOgO on a bicycle....due to the constant glaring bcoz of headlights pOgO found it difficult to ditch ditches on the road....after sitting on the rickshaw for 20 min bahure spotted a temple named "Gopali Ashram"....arti was underway wen we reached...we decided to stay till the end of it.....and i after more than one year entered the premises of a temple....i am not an atheist but i m not a regular temple visitor...neways we halted and it was the right decision...I really found a lot of satisfaction and peace.....

We carried on from thr....saw a hanger like structure....besides that rest of the journey was all forest and tar black darkness with blinding headlights in our eyes....
well the journey soon came to an end and we reached HK.....now pOgO had told me about HK in his own typical way....he declared his last trip so awesome dat it lured me in this time.....so i had the image of some awesome place with a cool pool table, a bar around the corner and some girls here and there......on our way to HK took some of his AWESOMES back and confessed that "the place is not as good as u r imagining ryt now"....after this warning..more of a heart break....i was prepared for anything.....

As it turned out, HK was an old structure(most in KGP are..)....a 2 storyed building...the ground floor was the bar/restaurant while the first was the pool table and family restaurant....i dont know about the 2nd floor but waiter used to rush down the staircase every now and then......the whole place was not lit properly...as if there was acute power shotage or lack of monetary funds....neways to my relief the place did not smell like alcohol and ciggarate smoke....about my views on the crowd...the crowd was dominantly CHINKA population...no gals wat so ever.....neways being thr with pOgO and Bahure was gr8 enuf....i knew it was gonna b hell of a nyt....and it had just started......!!

About my xperience with pool,i'll say i dont know how to play the damn game.....but i luv the whole setup of a green table, a bulb above and a dark room.....it really feels great.....so the first game was played between the so called experienced pOgO and the pool great (atleast for us) Bahure....now pOgO played 2-3 nice shots...but the difference between the experienced and the amateur soon became evident with pOgO makhauing every other shot.....Bahure cleaned the table with ease....next i played with pOgO and surprisingly won......rest was all play....we played for more than 3 hrs...and we njoyed every bit of it.......it was the best way to spend a friday night...playin pool drinking beer.....being with ur frnds.......it was serene and sterile at the same time it was refreshing....all three of us went into some sort of trance.....and apart from this comforting experience, I beat pOgO...... :))


The Teacher...Red eYe....the Bahure'ssss(notice the ReDeYe)












He is a pretty good player...but was out of touch and out of gas....(now he is kind of a mareej...but get well soon buddy....lukin forward to challenge u soon...seriously mat lena yaar....mujhe kahan khelna ata hai....!!)

The pOgO'ssss....the loser... :)) saale agli baar thoda better kheliyo....makhau.....




















The Disciple....the winnnner....me :))(i pocketed that ball)

In between, we also had some great food....now some of the dishes were totally awesome.....

wen we came out it was 11:30....we paid the bill...which was rather high bcoz we made some wrong choices in our order......well the experience was worth it......so the journey to our campus started...but a lot had changed in 3:30 hours....the streets were completely deserted.....there wer no lights......the place looked deserted and haunted......with not a single human being in sight we began our journey to our room....

The rest of the journey is inexplicable...with the silence..the darkness..the music from bahure's phone..the cool breeze..the mist covered fields...the moonlight...it was something special.....The whole road was lyk a gateway to heaven..with a light(street light ofcourse) at the end of the road.....the light was lyk our only hope to escape this darkness....the moon was lyk our savior showing us our way through darkness..leading us to the almighty..... well a bit apocryphal but we felt it......!!

after all this wen we neared our campus we found that the entry gates to hell( to IIT Kgp )were locked...so we decided to give up the rickshaw( some1 suggested me abdicate the rickshaw....in accord with my GRE Preps :))) and walk the rest of our way....we seemed to make no mistake dat day......the decision was really gud one.....unlike other roads this road was well lit but deserted....there was a silence which we rarely experience in KGP....we chatted our way...after all this even pOgO was taking spiritual(philosophical as rectified by pOgO...)things.....now that is somethin....we walked till "Tikka" and sat thr for about 20 mins.....pOgO still spiritual(the correct word is Philosophical as suggested by pOgO himself....)..bahure joined in with some comment "we always seek happiness in anxiety and excitement but the real pleasure lies in the peace of mind and tranquility...." after that everything was spiritual until i had an idea for a gr8 pic....

we walked for another 5mins or so and reached our rooms satisfied and changed men.....we had experienced something gr8 and we wanted for the feeling or the mental state to remain as it was at that point...so bahure slept..i watched "How i met..." and pOgO ka pata nahi( are now i remember pOgO raat main G mara...)....anyways we had a great nyt...one which i would remember throughout my lyf.....DUDE..!!IT WAS AWE..F1_1k1N..Some.......!!(pOgO ishtyle....)

Se7eN....the beginning.........

Sabse Pehle to Bhul Chuk Maaf......if i forget something.....pls feel free to comment and add ur bit to the story......


Now I have been waiting for 2 weeks now to write about the bestest of trips ever.....The one at Shankarpur......The one with the Seven Men who stood the test of time(yeah we really did...!!)...The one where we built a castle.....The one where we (actually I) ate a pomphret (nada did i spell it ryt..??)......The one with the sand castle and pyramid........The one with our own cool game.........now i guess i must save the rest........I forgot one...The one with Mulchand.....( hehehe... kya nick hai...:)) yo porno...the dhulchands...)

Now the whole idea popped up in someones mind (I dont remember who....whoever
he was thnks man....)...Wen the whole trip was being planned I was watching my video lectures at XX ( 2x....double speed yaar....wats on ur mind..:)) )....actually i had an xam on Saturday and I was the only one in the predicament......(lone traveler....on hot desert sand....i swear every minute was like that....) See in the beginning the trip was being planned for the whole weekend.....the plan was to go to Puri and the white sand beaches...may b visit to some of the temples and other local tourist spots.....but bcoz of me the whole trip had to b postponed and was made a one day affair.....

Now let me Introduce the stars of our story.......

Abhay--Smoochy...( we've got another nick for him but it can be a bit graphical...)
Dibyendu--Nada....(Dada Kichhu hobe na.....!!)
Kaustub- KG...( Mulchand....:)) )
Pranav--Porno....(Just Signed in....!!)
Singhal--pOgO...(hehehehehe.....)
Tiwari--tiwari....(beh gaya.......!!)
Vikas--VeaKaRSe....(Humain auNTy Kaun bana diya....??)
and Me ( ab kya Fayda.......)

We were supposed to leave on saturday night......So I found myself being called out for a wing meeting.....everyone had gathered out in the corridor as if they meant business......now after some of the usual 'bhashandbazi' an audience poll was conducted......and to everyones surprise Puri got maximum no. of votes(shankarpur being the loser......thnks to Emili with his crucial vote..the one who never made it....:( ) KG a.k.a. mulchand was really pissed off with the decision....headed straight back to his room he appeared disappointed......now i dont know wat happened after that but after the xam next morning i found the whole plan changed and we were going to Shankarpur.......

The preparation began at a fierce pace as soon as the sun was down.........mulchand( sry kg but achha sound kar raha hai...!!) and I were to get the firewood......now this firewood was idea of the Chef pOgO....he wished to cook(anyone can cook :) )....now I had always heard stories of pOgO being a damn good cook but I had never had a bite of his preparation....so i seriously doubted his skills....thnk god i was proved wrong...varna we would have had to do with just the 'DABs'...Coming bak to the firewood...we got the firewood and returned for a dinner.....I sat in KGs room and we started watching "How I Met Your Mother"...the first time i ever saw it...now i luv it...its Legen....wait for it...Darry.....Weakarse and pOgO got the food......after all the food and firewood collecting.....we went for dinner....(only at our mess :(( )

The part leading upto this point has been kind of boring.....so i should tell u that fun is about to begin.......our ride for the trip...a maruti omni van.was to arrive at 1:00am...but pOgO insisted to get it at 12:30 so that we get to the beach early and have a nice bonfire and a quite sunrise.....so we did the same......but fate had other plans......out of nowhere a thick and depressing mist covered the whole of....i dont know atleast al the roads we were to traverse........the van did come...we were all ready for a great trip.......

the van did come....but we never left.......the mist....the *$@kin mist....the sterile fog covering the area.....just made it impossible for the driver to drive.....so we decided to bail out......we concluded that we could still leave at 3:00 in the morning.....

now it was decided that whoever gets up first would wake up the rest of the gang........I also had an alarm setup for 3:00 am......but it never rang( as far as i know..:) )....nobody came to wake me up.........finally wen i opened my eyes.....i dont recollect who wake me up....but wen i did wake up....it was already 5:30am........we were late but luckily the fog had vanished and we had a beautiful morning with cool breeze sweeping the balcony........i still remember how comforting the wind was.......there was a renewed sense of urgency in our contingent...a guy slapping,kicking and knocking other guys door....other shouting other's name with a lot of curses to get them out of bed.....but i guess all will agree that it was really great getting up that morning.........we got our things together by 6:00 -6:15.....We finally took off at 6:30am.......a long road lies ahead.....!!!!!!! (to be continued......picture abhi baki hai mere dost...:)) )
