RIP Dimebag.....

Ok so this is not so much of a blog as a posting but know what blogs aren't necessarily random ramblings of whats wrong and whats not and what should be...jeez rambling again, by now its like a in-built 'My special' human tendency...superman can fly, spiderman can swing, hulk has super strength BUT moi has super rambling ability to bore the crap outa anyone.....by now if you've realised that I'm a SUPER cheat and don't really have anything to write about....BINGO, tell me where to send in the million dollar check....

Thing is bro had been hounding me to watch a Pantera video and stopped just short of bounding and gagging me to forcibly make me listen....I did a few days ago, 2 words - mind blowing...Couldn't help sharing so check it for yourself and let me know how you found it....
Word of advice - make sure your eyes are glued in when the guitarist Dime-bag Darrell goes crazy on the fretboard...coolness personified...btw The songz Domination..

The Art of Living...My way is the best way....

Its bloody irritating how things don't work out the way you planned them to right??? You've been looking forward to something and BAM it doesn't happen leaving you totally dejected and sometimes turns the atheist in you to believe that there must be someONE somewhere who hates you and wishes that you have all the horrible experiences in the world, while you're left wondering 'why does it always have to happen to me???'  That pretty much describes my tryst with CAT....For people not familiar with the rendezvous - in simple words, exam got canceled, get a msg that the new centerz about 30 kms from my place...from 5 km away to 30 km, yup that was my nightmare coming true...since I had chosen the morning shift at 10 and had to report by 8, it meant getting started at 5:30...trust me you wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere near me within 30 m radius then ... thankfully my aunt stays near the exam center ( 8km distance !!) so went to her place the day before itself.....

Surprisingly that was one of the best things that would've happened to me..for starters my bhaiya has one of the most amazing treasure-trove of books -LOTR, Harry Potter, Robin Cook, RD etc etc etc so had a blast reading them and then watched movies...which was why I was not a nervous wreck before the exam....And that is when the debate started inside my head - Do I really want everything according to the some stupid rule book that I've meticulously planned or did I want to flow along with my life and let it take any course that it wanted??? See for some people having a proper charted course gives them direction of what they want in life, how life should be handled, the way to success ...but did somebody or can somebody really define what success is???? or more importantly is success everything??? when you look back at life do you want to be able to say that 'yes I was successful' or 'bloody hell I enjoyed my life'???

Yesterday I was searching for a good book to settle down with and came across 'The seven habits of highly effective people' by Steven Covey....Before you jump to any conclusion, I was forced to buy the book...honestly I'm not a big fan of self-help books, infact I positively detest them...Don't even get me started on The Alchemist....but this book ( 7 habits) was actually part of our curriculum in 1 of the college semesters and I never got around to reading beyond the first habit...it could be because the book was sooo sleep-inducing but more than that what was written at the back -" Covey reveals a step-by-step pathway for living with fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity which are the fundamentals and key to success".... Ok so maybe Covey found his path to success but it doesn't mean that would have to be 'everybody's' path to success...
Life is something which should be enjoyed and discovered...should be the 'road not taken' because who knows that road or path which is rocky at first may turn out to be our path to success  happiness....
So yes I want to be successful but more than that I want to enjoy my life, experience the unexpected, look forward to the challenges and risk because in the end that's what makes life fun...it's either this or planned, risk incorporated monotonous life....I guess I can gladly say that 'problems rock'....

P.S - which is why have a 'lousy' Christmas and a 'crappy' New Year  ; )  
P.P.S - Merry Christmas all the same!!!

The story of a pissed fan...

I guess it has become a force of habit by now...I watch a liverpool match, swear that I won't comment about it in the blog (more so if pool ahem loses), and that's exactly what I end up doing...So this time I thought why don't I share what goes on outside the the idiot box ie the minute -to-minute(well not exactly) real life reactions of a pissed liverpool fan...here goes:
6:10 - Switch to ESPN. Have my SNAP exam the next day but then apparently that is still not a good enough reason to miss the match..After all they show the match 'live' only once...
6:25 - rub my eyes and make sure that the match was the one between pool-pompey and not between bunch of 10 year olds
6:43 - wish had been sensible and skipped the match, pompey up by 1..
6:50 - dad comes, sees the score, then sees my face and starts laughing...Tells me its high time I should stop supporting pool and should join the Man U bandwagon...To think it would have to come down to THIS
7:30 - have a really bad taste in my mouth, aim a few well chosen curses at pool players , a lot more at pompey players ...dad thinks its a good opportunity to cash in and starts making fun of Torres- says pool doesn't pay him enough to get even a decent haircut, tell dad its called style instead receive a bewildered look...
7:33 - Really pissed !!!!! tell dad to watch whatever he wants....dad pleased, says pool should loose even more often so he gets to watch TV...give him the evil eye!!
7:45 - bro comes up hearing the final score and tells me to watch Utd match which would be loads more exciting...He had NO idea...
9:20 -  This time bro really pissed , using the same curses, tells dad to watch his news...dad happy to get the remote back...tells bro and me to switch to chelsea!! we nearly die of shock...

On top mum gave me the ultimatum yesterday to either clean up my room or consider being chucked out of the house....so there I was being bullied into tidying up my room against my wish, when I came across this Wren & Martin grammar book, flipped to the back page and this is what I saw :

Wish we had been taught alphabets this way...

Oh and I was going through a few GK questions yesterday for SNAP and found this : This band received a nomination in the heavy metal category for the Grammy Awards. They performed one of their hit numbers live at the show, but the award went to Jethro Tull. The band didn't seem to care, though; they added a sticker to their album reading "Grammy Award LOOSERS"....any guesses which band?????

A little bit of this and that....

This blog took a long time coming all thanks to people who decide exams datesheet and think that students need only 1 day to learn stuff which they can't even understand in 3 months time...geniuses!! well 3 papers are down and each 1z got a more tragic story than the previous...The 1st one only turned out to be a shocker, couldn't even comprehend from which chapters ware the questions forget about answering them!!Question papers setters sure are big sadists...well they'll have fun correcting my paper..goodluck to them trying to figure out what I've written...One important lesson I've learned is NOT to get the entire bundle photocopied...its not like I read the whole lot and the psychological effect 'oh I've still got so much left to do and going to flunk this time' has damn near given me a heart attack way too many times...

Anyway chuck studies and coming to another shocker was Liverpool vs Arsenal match last night...another loss wooohooo(thisz with all the sarcasm I can muster)...I seriously thought pool could win this time, anybody would seeing the 1st half, even bro said so and thats something, fuck arsenal to stike back...Arshavinz a good player but whats with the expressions??? Ref was blind- No penalty to gerrard, no free kick to kuyt...Torres was abso-damn-lutely amazing!! and Alonso was there!!!!!
talk about rubbing salt on the wounds...Am I the only 1 or the match gave a sense of deja-vu -pool awesome in the 1st half, take a lead, other team strikes back(except this time was an own goal), another goal in quick succession, pool try to desperately fight back, still lose in the end!!

Man U lost so the feelings nullified...sometimes I love that team(black tooth grin)..I considered Gary neville a decent player but that was before his 'Liverpool got what they deserved' comment...dude mind your own business!!.. Tottenham lost too and that to Wolves of all but the great newsz modricz BACK!! and who would've thought chelsea being held by everton...1 important conclusion I've reached watching chelsea matches are: Lampard wears a wig - no kidding why else would he ALWAYS touch his hair after every 5 secs specially after a long run after the ball, oh yeah to make sure his ahem 'hair' is still on!!

And the week of shocker was concluded yesterday when bro told me that Dave Grohl- the Nirvana drummer is the same guy whoz Foo-fighters lead singer...from a drummer to lead singer and guitarist??? I generally don't believe stuff bro tells me, he has a major tendency to feed me up on weird lies so that i end up making a complete fool out of myself- like once he told me JD inxs frontman is chris angel (the mindfreak guyz) brother, told people bout it and won the 'most gullible person' award...this time I googled it down and it's freakingly true!!!

P.S- is Nistelrooy really coming to liverpool??? and just who the hell is this 'shorty' person whose sooo famous and in-demand in almost ALL the RnB song???? has the world run out of names now??? so original!!!!
