Waaaaw...

Updates .... n more updates

heyya Peepl....

Guess I had too much of a hangover to update of late;). Hahaha j/k. Well anyway... I've just been feeling lazy again. Pushkar and Raghu have gotten into town.... so have Numphol, TJ, Arjun, Varun.... buncha folks. Catching up on a few of em atleast. Looks like campus wont be that empty this time around.
Well, I got an email from my boss. He wants me to work more. YAY. I want that...I LIKE that!!!hehe

Hmmm... as I was writing this... Numphol walked in... got me a keychain from Phuket,... some food stuff!!! WOW. The guy's too good to be true!!.

Well... anyway... to continue... yesterday was fun. I slept in...got up... and went Rock Climbing with Ben, David, Vandna and Paul (basically...I knew Ben and Vandna... and I realized that David was my neighbour!!). Well.. anyway... that was a lot of fun. Left my fingers all sore and ...u know..:|.
So.... after that.... we decided all that work was worth a treat... so we headed down to The Cheesecake Factory where I bought a Godiva cheesecake and Toblerone Cheesecake. Brought some back too. MmmMMmmm HeavEnly!

So... yeah... that was the major part of my life yesterday.

Just got to get some work done today.

My replcements here..so Tata

Mohan.

Yeah...I hit the bars

Hmmm...it's been almost 11 months since I turned 21. So, today, when Addy said... lets go drink.... I said...kool...lets do it. So... we went to Ricky's place as Addy always drinks there. But Borna was with us... and I wasnt sure if she would want to be there...considering it was all other guys. So, I said.. lets go out to the bars. Meanwhile, Raghu, who had JUST landed.....was feeling dead tired. So, after a slow dinner at Blue Nile...eating Chicken Biryani...we go home... freshen up a bit, drop off Raghu... and head out. And guess who I see when we get there!! Vandna...!!! Well.. she had come there with Ben and some other chinese guys. So, well, we just went into Brothers... where they got their drinks. I got a coke...which turned out to be more expensive than Addy's and Borna's drinks. Or atleast their first round. Met a very drunk.... and ..... kinda crazy guy...who kept hitting on Vandna and Borna..... hahahaha...it was funny. I tried to help em out a bit....I think....After these guys got drunk...a wee bit.. we headed over to "Where Else" which had a better dance floor and louder music than conversation. Once there...we all got onto the dance floor and I just swayed and swooned around.....or did some funky stuff which probably looked like a dramatic actor dying on screen!! After a while of that... the guys got bored of it.

So.. we left. Addy got some beers and we headed to Borna's place to watch a movie. But all the alcohol... and early nights...got to these kids...who decided to call it a night. So... here I am... writing this blog......my first night out!!

P.S. Addy used Raghu's id... and noone caught on at ALL. I always said the guys looked like twins;)

Just some interesting stufff.......
maybe not all true... guess...I got a wild imagination
;);)

I'm soo lazyy

Yeah... I'm feeling so lazy. I need to get moving... but I dont want to. So... yeah... I dont even want to type anything here. So, I'll leave this for now.
Hope u'r having a lovely time,

Mohan.

Oh My God

Yes... Oh My God.
Looks like my last post has created a maelstrom of sorts. Words have flown.... and so have tears.......
The thing to note is that my blog is just like a diary. Its just an outlet for some personal thoughts. Some thoughts which I feel have significance for all people in this world. Especially when I get all philosophical as I did in the last post.
I have a lovely relationship with my parents. My family is very important to me and I really am thankful to god for giving me such a wonderful family. The arguments I stated earlier... were just some things which I felt ... may be relevant to today's parents:).

Wow... I took a few moments to re read my previous blog.... and hey...I've been pretty harsh on my parents. Maybe the important thing was that I was up all night and wrote the blog at 6:30 in the morning. Maybe that would explain things.

But anyway... today...was mostly spent in sleeping... as I was up all night. Gotta get back into the groove....and sleep earlier today.

So...me off now

Mohan.

well well well

Trains...n all...

Heyloa ppl...
I'm back from Chicago. Spent forever in the train. We had a derailment on some track... and so... it got delayed.... but luckily...I got back to Purdue only 1 hr late. Grabbed some Taco Bell carry-out... and life went onnn

Mannn..... the US does have an overpopulation of females;). I had women sitting all around me... a lot of em talking away to their hearts content. One lady's BF called and she was talking lovey dovey with him till he told her he lost his job... and lo...she started berating him loudly. then... again said....love ya.. and babye. :|. Another lady had been in the derailed train and was relating her experiences....yeah... another uneventful day in the life of Mohan.

And after all this.... Vasi came online!! Was a pleasure chatting with him. I havent spoken with him in ages...and yet the words flow easily. The guy has some charm around him. He attracts friends like a succulent flower attracts bees. He was on his break from Jipmer... and was in Vizag for a few days...this being his last. He heads for Vizag tomm.. and then back to Pondicherry. another 2.5 yrs.... to finish his course... and then he'll be Dr. Vasishta !! Suits him ehh? nah... he'll always be the shy Vasi for me....Shy and lanky vasi.....;)

well...he had to go to the temple. I asked him to pray for me too:). A Brahmin's prayers must be stronger...what say you? ;););) and now...I'm done updating my life to the rest of the world.

Ohh... btw... my parents think I tease them when I say I met this girl...who impressed me. Now..tell me....is it wrong to say that a girl has impressed me? After all...one of the primary goals of a human being's life is selection of a mate. ;);). But more importantly...they seem to tell me that this is wrong.... and that they want me to learn from their mistakes.... WHAT MISTAKES?? having a girl for a friend??? I dont understand.... how can it be a mistake?? after all....I will be interacting with girls as much as I will be with guys. How will it be natural if I only had boys as friends...or I admired and was impressed by only guys??

well well well... arguments are futile a lot of the time. Rarely have arguments changed my point of view. I seem to learn best from my own mistakes. Especially with regards to life... And this seems very natural too to me. In Siddhartha, Herman Hesse says that Siddhartha sees Gautama Buddha... and is in awe of him. But... he does not want to become his disciple. He could see that Gautama Buddha had achieved enlightenment. But... that did not mean that he could preach it. One can only achieve enlightenment by experiencing it oneself.By working towards it and striving to achieve it. And to do that, one has to often sink to the lowest form of consciousness...so that one can see the bottom ... and kick it out.
I believe that the same holds for the policies of life.

However...I see their pain. They want me to study hard and not get distracted. But wait....I'm already distracted. Especially when I am forcing myself to behave in a way which seems so unnatural. Why not just let nature take its course? Wouldnt that make life so much better?
People tell me I am sensible. Then ... why cant I be trusted to be sensible in this case? I know that my studies are important for me. Especially at this time of summer...when I dont have any classes....and few other avigations..... I dont see why they consider it as a waste of time!! Are they afraid that I'll find myself a scary girlfriend who they would feel ashamed to have as their daughter-in-law? Do they think I am heartless and thoughtless?? Nowadays...I seem to see parent's behaviour as pretty funny. Some things they say and do.... just because...it isnt the "Done Thing". They dont see that exceptions can exist. Or do they just choose to ignore them?? Or are they so possessive that they only want their son to follow their explicit wishes...

Only time will tell

Life ...as it shld be

Okies ppl...
its been a while....n i've been lazy.....n a lot has happened in the last few weeks since I last posted;)

Spoke with my prof... and managed to get the partial credit I deserved. Those few additional points bumped my grade up from a C to a B. Not the best... but better than it was;) So Yeahhhhh.

Read this really awesome book. Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. A really small book...which took me forever to read (Mostly coz I was playing too much warcraft 3). But it struck my mind for the intensity of thought. U know...sometimes...the mind resonates with someone's thinking... and thats what happened here. Thanks to Vanda who recommended the book. Hope she likes the Asimov I gave her half as much.....

Met this really awesome girl. spoke with her a few times...... and mann.... am really impressed by her.:). She's so different:)

Am in chicago now. My peddapeddanana and peddamma (Dad's oldest bro and his wife) came visiting their daughter. I came to meet them. Today was his son-in-law's b'day. So, we went to the temple... and other places....visiting ppl.... eating a LOT.......... awesome times

My sis came to the US last week. I had not called her till now...delaying it .... for some unknown reason. Maybe coz I was expected to call her..... Anyway, I was planning to call her this Monday.... when she called now. It was good to hear her voice:)

As I said... these have been eventful days....
shld see how things go....

Kal Ho Na Ho

Just saw this movie.....
An interesting movie, I say. For those who havent seen this movie, I shall summarize it in a few sentences.
Priety Zinta(PZ) lives with her mom, granny and siblings in NY, an unhappy family. Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) comes into her life as a neighbour and teaches her to love and enjoy life. She falls in love with him, but he tells her that he is already married (even though he loves her), since he has a medical condition and can die anytime. Meanwhile, PZ has a friend, Saif Ali Khan(SAK), who loves her. So SRK advises SAK and helps PZ fall in love with SAK. She comes to know the truth...but they realize that nothing can be done. SAK and PZ get married and SRK dies.

Now.... I thought that the movie was too long. They stretched it out too much and had too much of melodrama. However, I loved some of the underlying plots in the film.

1) The steps that SRK advises to SAK to make PZ see him as more than just a friend. You gotta be proactive and show the girl that you think of her as more than a friend.....The same applies for girls too. Such behaviour simplifies life:p:D

2) The concept that one should take life as it comes, and make the best of it... for one never knows... Kal Ho Na Ho (Tomorrow may come or not). It's no use crying that life is sad. Just make the best of what you have, face it with your best side... and no matter what happens.... ALWAYS KEEP SMILING. There is one scene which I found very touching. SRK tells PZ.... "You have forgotten how to smile. Let me teach you...it's very simple. A 3 step process.... 1..2..3 (insert Smile from a toothpaste ad)"

Well... blogs are supposed to be small...so I shall end this for now.
Be Well

Exercising

Ouch... it hurts!!

I have started going to the gym and working out... and OUCH...IT HURTS!! its been 3 days now. I even went swimming and did 2 laps!! WOOOOHOOO!!. But seriously.... this is against my ideology. I dont exercise.... I just try to lead an active lifestyle..Walk Faster....Run up stairs.....eat healthy.... be healthy!! But no gym!! I know I wont go to a gym all my life...I am too lazy... and I'll end up growing fat....:|.
Well..then why am I going to the gym, you may ask... and I have asked myself the same question.
I have found a few reasons....
1) Addy... my good friend addy... wanted some company!!
2) Being summer session...I dont get out that often...
3) I get to see some people??
4) I get to see some women:D:D:D

hehehe
well... yeah...
