Confessions of a Sleep-less-aholic !!!

Sleep ooo dear sleeep !!!

It's such a shame that you are the scapegoat always
It's such a shame that everybody gets a preference over you always
It's such a shame I do everything I can, to resist and forget you always
You are the one that I need, they are the ones that I want
and yet this foolish self, prefers them at your cost always
Sleep ooo dear sleeep !!! Why ooo myyy !!

Remember the night that I had to study for an unprepared exam,
Remember the night when I did a movie marathon, one after another,
Remember the night when I decided to talk to that lady for hours & hours,
and do you remember the night when I decided to go to the bars and the pubs,
I left you alone on each one of those nights, took you for granted
Sleep ooo dear sleeep !!! Why ooo myyy !!

They tell me about the REM, the N2, the thetas, the deltas & the K-complexes,
They tell me about the optimal amounts, the sleep debts, & the dreams,
They tell me about the memory lapses, heart failures & hallucinations,
Yet foolishly I chase the wrong dreams, I succumb to the wrong drowse, and
Kill myself for people who don't care & things which don't matter, at your cost
Sleep ooo dear sleeep !!! Why ooo myyy !!

You are the oldest medicine in the book & the truest friend in a lifetime,
You are the true giver of happiness, peace, beauty & health,
You know i love you, but i chose not to have u ...
I need u back & I know you will embrace me with both arms,
I yearn for ya now, but I will conveniently forget ya later again !!!

It is ``I" that needs the beating & hope to see you tonight at 12 my place
I know I will forget ya, but I will be on my chair doing nothing useful.
So swing by me and take me into your dark solace once again..........

Sleep ooo dear sleeep !!! Yess its mee that needs you...... !!

Road trip to Pondicherry and Chennai (IIT Saarang) - The January of 2007

I have been going out of town a lot of late....started wid mumbai in dec 2005, then saw me goin on a north india tour in jan 2006, followed it up wid a trip to aurangabad and other areas later , next came another trip to mumbai in october 2006 , then the best of the lot , dec 2006 ---->>> GOAAAA , followed it up wid a trip to orissa towards the new year 2007 , and now the latest to join the bandwagon is IIT SAARANG and PONDICHERRY , around jan ending 2007 .. that's indeed quite a travel for an engineering student from hyd.. only a handful of others have traveled more than wat i did ... but then considering that i love traveling a lot, it mite seem lesss....I m really looking forward to a trip to Pune and Bangalore in coming months.... well , i m gonna tell u bout the IIT tour in here...

4 years and jus the first time i was goin to IIT SAARANG, the cultural festival of the prestigious IITM , ya indeed a thing of shame .. tryin to go there since 3 years and finally i get to go this time.. well we had lotta free time now and nothing to do and no tensions, so i guess the trip was possible... so many of my friends made it there too , well its final year for many of them too remember .. lol ...but the main grp consisted of me, nit, neha , panuati and swati .. then my frnd sunny was also comin there along wid his college mates and we spent time there too .. plus i also had Abhi and group comin tooo and here's the biggie , the whole francis gang of gooofy, priya , piyu and co. also were there.. so was like toooo many ppl to spend time wid ... and don fget the IIT MAFIA batch as we call it, friends of neha, i.e cyril, shashi, nandita and others .... plus we had our juniors and not to forget others from our college...

well it was like entire hyderabad was in chennai that one weeeek... i felt the same way when i went to MOOD-I las year ... Bottomline : Hyderabadis are Everywhere

I spent most of the time wid nit and gang though .. sunny was thr to fill in for the odd hours though .. was a great experience all together.. i wish i went to all the other 3 saarangs the las 3 years ...we got a car there.. nit had relatives ova there.. so the best part was we went everywhere in our car , can it get any betta than this... we were put up in the IIT hostels.. the new ones.. so accommodation was perfect too ..

The best part bout the trip would be the beaches ...the 5 of us had gr888 funnn on the beaches... well i cant express even a single bit of how awesome we felt , on this blog .. such was the intensity ... we totalllyy freakkedd outtt.... we tried shootin a lil of the fun in the handycam .. and ya my digi cam which was NOT WATERPROOF , took a nice bath in the water there... its condition is almost dead critical in a servicing centre in hyd now ... thr marina beach , basanth beach in chennai were absolutely amazin ....we did everythng on the beaches , right from playin crazy games, eatin like demons , sinkin one another , runnin like mad ppl, having our fortunes read by astrologers wid parrots , shooting, etc etc ... can go on and on ........ Besanth beach was so very neatttt ...

and the best part was our ROAD TRIP to PONDICHERRY in our very own car .. self drive.... remember my lon lasting dream of a ROAD TRIP .... finalllyy it came true... the drive up till there was amazinn fun... we went to pondy and had gr88 funn again on the beach - AURO BEACH ... was truly amazin... was another beach ... but i was in for total disappointment, from wat i saw of Pondy ... looks like this place is very renowed .. very much overhyped... i guess the place became like this after the deadly tsunami... mayb we went thr wid loadsa expectations ... so the disappointment... but the time we spent at AURO beach was prettyyyy goood ...

Next in line shud be the time spent in IIT campus, attending different Workshops, shows, events ... we learnt the dance forms of Salsa , tango , lambada and rivera ... was truly one thng i wud hav loved to do every year at this place ... dance workshops were so funny and full of energy .. and the best part was u did sumthgn productive and u had a chance to shake ur ....

one of the biggest pluses of this trip would be the IIT MAFIA gang .... hehehehe... the big group consistin of us all , i.e me, nit , neha , panuathi , swathi and cyril, shashi, nanditha, jaya, vinaya , savitha, rajender, ramanand, nishita, sunny, goutham, sachin ,shankar ... we all met towards the fag end of the trip , or else it wud hav beeenn much more memorable.. we had the ball of our lives... we did the craziest thngs that were eve possible and of course everything in the campus ... It was like reliving your childhood, when we played games like OUT-OUT , Dog and Bone , Lock and key to irkin ppl in trains , we did almost everythng , that normally only kids do .... hehe ....truly this is one thng i will denftly miss bout the trip...

how can one forget the way we spent the nights in the campus .. not even a single day we slept bfor 4 in the morning ... esp me ... one day , actually didn't sleeep at all.. thats hoow much we were engrossed in havin fun .. and a lovely thng was the CCD iin the campus .. it was right close to our hostel and wud be open till 3 in the morning ... so u knw, we would be there always .. thats our CENTRAL PERK .. hehehe [:d] ..

n then the icin ... or rather the stand out event ... me pushin panuathi onto the glass doors of this super big mall called MAAYAJAAL and it breakin wid loud thuds and small pieces fallin evrywhere .. and then the manager comes to us and asks us, 'madam , r u allright 'to her ....we were so scared , that when he asked us that , we all broke loose .... hahaha..

well that is the trip in short... well its wat u get to read, after the censors hav edited the censored stuff... hehehhee... sorry everything is not for public display ... well i miss IIT already and of course miss the IIT maafia ...the road trip was mind blowin tooo ...

cheers and SMASH !!!

The Incident of the drunk boy - New Year's 2007

yo people, wish u a very happy and prosperous new year !! ... as they say , a new year , a new dawn !!! hope this year brings u all the good thngs in life.. ya wish me too, wat r u waitin for .. lol....

So, if everything goes acc.to plan this shud be my last new years in India/Hyderabad.... Next year, this time, i wud like to c myself partyin hard in one crazy town of USA ....Well, so for obvious reasons , i wanted this new years to be a very memorable one to me .... i wanted to spend this new years wid all ( Almost all ) of my few very very good friends...... wudnt take an Einstein to say, that it was impossible to spend time wid all of them or even meeet all of them...... except for mayb 2 , i spent the 31st night or the next day 1st wid most of the ppl , who i wanted to spend time wid on this special day ......

So coming to the celebrations on the new years .. well, we all were supposed to goto this real hot and happening party this year in hyd, called " Fire and ICE " ... well the crowd at the party turned out to be one of the best i hav ever seeen... the music cud hav been much much betta, but well the crowd was given wat they asked for..

My date for the evening was shagufta or as we call her, gooofy , shaggy, etc etc ...lol... Also taggin along wid me was my good friend, Ramya... the 3 of us met the rest of the ppl like Ab, neel, sahil, aditi, Anuj, pari and others and we all celebrated the new years together at Fire and ice... we kept on 'shakin a leg' for a while, then the clock struck 12 ...

finally at the end of it all, we get out of the place around 2 and leave for this Big farmhouse party ( nagarjuna fame ) . as soon as we enter, the music gets us to start dancing immediately ...such was the music being played that we had no time to rest .. well thats called music man !! we felt so bad for not bein at this party much much before ...

then came the thing .. i go to the bartender and ask him for a glass of sprite and he gives it to me .. i sip it and go , " dood ! Wtf did u gime ?? i asked ya for sprite " .. so HE goes ' i m sorry sir !! i thght u asked for Vodka wid sprite " ... i was like w/e big deal , lemme hav this one glass !!! and then one drink, became 2 , 3 ,4 ,5 ... 10 .. and on n on ... i kept drinking like a mad person .... ( well I never got Drunk before )....

well i wont get into the details in here .. tooooo dangerous a place to do that .. lol.. but at the end of the day i was drunk like a mad person ... realllyyy drunk to the core.. sloshed completely... dunno wat i was doin .. and as the legend wud hav it , i opened my eyes all of a sudden at 12 the next day , to find all images rollin in front of me... a terrible headache to go along wid it !!! ...and i look around to find myself, in my friend AKshay's house ...... I am not even sure how I cam there and what happened then ight before. The last I could remember was well.. err... drinking...... I keep seeing these faint images from last night, but as the name says it is faint .... Later I was told many stories about what happened last night, but you know most of the people who told them were drunk themselves, so we will never know the real story . Fortunately or unfortunately there are no videos or images of anything. Strange ain't it.

welll so i finallyI got drunk , for the first and lemme say the last time (right ?), on the new years .. well, i Always wanted to get drunk .. it wasn pre-planned, it jus happened .. one thng led to another and stuff... well , also i knew i was in very safe hands that night... i mean some of my good friends were thr wid me that day , so i was sure, w/e i m gonna do, these ppl r gonna take care of me !!

thank u all ppl, for being thr when i needed u that night.. Well, also they say, that the truths come out once a person is drunk, right ? and my friends, the gals said I was the sweetest I ever could be, when I was drunk, well that's something ? :)

Anyways, I dun wan this to repeat again though, the reason being simple, THERE IS NOTHING AS BAD IN THE WORLD AS THE HANGOVER .. for almost 2 days i didn't knw wat was happening around ( right ? ) ...

hehehe.. so that's the story of the kid who got drunk on new years, not really informative, u c, but that's how it is, i wish i knew more than you did :P

GO GOOOOOOOOOAAAAA - Dec 2006

i guess i shud start out wid my goa trip. .say it fu**** LOUDD.... GOAAAAAAAA TRIPPPPPPP.....

ya i finallly made to the land of my dreams... goaaa.... Well, the land of Nirvana, as i wud like to call it...... the Land of 'doin nothn' as i wud like to phrase it tooo.. u shud knw more about all that once u read further ...

it was an impromptu trip .. well was planned jus 4-5 days bfor actually leavin on dec 6th ... goin to goa in such a short notice is defntly an impromptu decision.. abhi and sahil were the ones i knew.. sahils frnds ashish, anil, chait and sylvy formed the rest of the gang.. total of 7 guys... the line up promised lot of fun ... n we cudn wait to ttake off...

we finallly make it to goa....first thng we do is book bikes .. for nominal prices , bikes were rented to us .. i obviously chose the AVENGER :-d.. we were placed at Panjim, the capital of goa and the centre spot of goa...it was a good apartment we rented... then we set out on our different escapades to different parts of goa...

first it was the beach in panjim... next we headed to the best of the lot- BAGA Beach ... well this is the single place, which changed my complete outlook towards life.. haha, sersly ... for one weeek, i was completely cut off from outside world .... all i knew was get into water, get out, sleep in the shack , get tanned, use lot of sunscreen cream, eat lottaa fooood, get into water again , sleeep in the shacks, eat by the beach , and party in the night at a club and of course ride a lot on ma AVEnger and of course get to the apartment once in 30 hourse..... well do that for one weeek and u will feel exactly the way i feeelll..... can u guys blv this- for one complete week i was completely cut off from the outside world- no News paper , no Smsing/Callin frnds bak home , no INTERENT , no nothgns... wat surprises me most is that, i didint even think a single moment about interent or orkut or my comp for one staright weeeekk.. well, that surely is an achievement or a shocker, the way u look at it !!! either way , it was sumthng gooood and i liked it .... had some of the best few days of my life... or rather one of the best weeks of my life... :-d.. thats BAGA beach for ya ...

water scooters, banana boats, swimming in waters, walkin all over the beach, tannin, eating , **BIRD** Watching, hell lodsa snaps,allll kindsa freakin funny activities... welll thats Baga for ya, again !!
ANother place almost similar to baga beach, an extention of the beach is CALINGATE beach ..

NExt there is the ANjuna Beach.. well acc. to sources this was the BAGA beach of the 80s.. right now, its this secluded place.. where its so very peaceful.. doesn entertain the mass amount of ppl that are presnet at the BAGA beach.. jus few shacks ... n even lesser pppl... the water is more clearer and the sand is more coarser....I and Abhi went to Anjuna beach , for the firt time all alone, leavin the others to party sumwhere ... we walked 3 -4 kms on the beach in complete darkness and isolation... we were jus followin the 'light at the end of the tunnel' principle... on reachin the light , we relaised it was a shack, but strangely so full of ppl.. on goin closer, we relaised it was full of only firangs, not even a dingle desi soul, other thn the ones workin there....and the music they were playin wass so fuckin goooood... and each one of the firangs was smokin marijuna.....there were shacks on either sides of this one and there were desis in both of them , but none strangely here.... we gave it a fuck and jus hanged at this ' All firangs place "... tried gettin our hands on some marijuna too, but to no success.. the junkie selllin marijuna to firangs ran away as sooon as we asked him for some.....bastards thght we were some cops ... holy mother of god...... and next day all the others were to come to ANJUNA beach again, jsu to experience wat we all did .. me n ab were there too wid dem again ... the peace ans silence of this Beach, shud invariably scare away any problems any person has.. i m totallly in love widdis place...

Then there is also the VAGATOR beach, poplualrly known as the NUDE BEACH... well , practically we already had too much of it in the BAGA and the ANJUNA beaches, that we neednt require to goto a separate NUDE BEACH ... saw so many naked firangs that we guys, espciallly me, lost the sense of being visually stimulated anymore.... in short i meant, i saw no difference between a log of wood and a naked firang.. hahaha... in fact, the fully clothed ones were much more pleasing to the eyes..heheh.. well again, when it comes to desis, the equation is reversed ...tables are turned...we were desperate to c some desi skin.. welll, was satisfactory to an extent , but cud hav beeennn much much bettaa.. hope the desis were the firangs n the firangs were desis, in this situation ..lol.. whoa look at me tok.... shud this post be Censored or be given an "EXPLICIT CONTENT : rating...
haha, chill out... be happy u gott to read this... bcs the other EXPLICIT CONTENT material [:p], which we did in GOA , is not comin out here, No fuckin way !!! ( nothng comes for a free price, wud it :-d) .

Then we saw the FORT AGUADA.... supp to be the fort shown in the movie DCH...

and each day we been to the best and hottest parties /clubs of goa.... they include Club TITO'S/Mambo's/ Club paradiso and others ... the best part of gos were the shacks... I and Ab, espeically , survived in these shacks and towards the end of the trip George(ashish) too... we had amazing fun at these shacks...a shack called Sam's was virtually our 'adda' on BAGA beach ...well shacks are these places by the beach, which are traditionally supposed to look like huts on a raised platform, meant maily for food and also for other purposes.. they hav showers too , so that u can hav a quick wash after a prolonged swim in the sea...i m totally in love wid dese shacks...

Ashish also got an envious tatoo done on his bak.... was amzing.. i also wanted to get one done, but at the right moment, i realised i ran outtaa cash... haha.. mayb i will go again to goa, to get a tatoo done.... n finally came staurday night and and .. oh no not bout some party... bcs strnagely all clubs and discos and pubs of hott goa, were all deserted , that too oon a sat night... so wher was everyone ??? what they been doin ??? well , presenting to you , ' THE SATURDAY NIGHT MALL '.. thats where everybody is.. right from the hottest desis to the cutest firangs to the fugly others, everyone .... everyone was there.. and the thng was like so so os huge... like nothng i hav seen bfor...u need to keeep goin on walkin n walkin ..... get everythng there, almost everythng .. good quality tooo... at least for gettin the tatto done and for buyin stuff at this mall , i need to goto goa again ( do i need to mention the beaches and all related stuff again ???? ) .... oh btw i bought a BREITLING watch from there ... theese brand of watches are one of the most intricate watches we hav in the market and they r so intricate in design that they are even costlier than the ROLEX and OMEGA .. lol [:d]

well i can keeepp goin on and on about this trip.... this was one trip i wudnt ever forget , come wat may ( ya my memory lapses wont work here ) ... wat goa did to me , noone/nothng has ever been able to do that to me in 21 years ...... i feel rejuvinated .... i becme even more non-chalant after the trip..... welll, the aftermaths included serious tanning.....i was prepared for it bfor, so didnt come as a shocker .....hope to make it thr again sooooner....

i dunno y do ppl shell so much money in buyin lands here in hyd.. all this land grabbin n shyt.. i mean shudn the take place in goa.. well i hav decided, i m gonna hav a mansion by the sea in goa.... i totally relate myself to this place goa...

sad it had to end in a weeek.. so sooon.. well was all outta cash ,so had to come bak early...

more on the other happenings, in the next post...

SMASH !!
