Bhangarh Part-2

We left Pilani at 1030 after some chaos on the issue of the way we would take to get out of the campus.Anyways, the issue was resolved in a jiffy,thanks to TJ(he is not a new character,actually he is our own Thilli).We had to reach Bhangarh by 1800 hours so as to get inside.It was the driver's first trip to Bhangarh too,and he was inquiring about the route after every turn on the way and it reminded us of the movie THE WRONG TURN in which a single wrong turn changed their fate.When we were about to reach,everything seemed quite peculiar.The roads were converging,houses were similar to what they show in horror movies,every child,every woman(that was obvoius),every man staring us as though they wanted to stop us from going further and were the last ones to see us alive.

We reached there at 1815 and it was almost dark then.We were not allowed to enter the fort.We tried to convince the gatekeeper and presented ourselves as surveyors.The gatekeeper enquired about the way we could survey in dark.Venki was not late in replying that it was an Air-survey, and thus did not require much light.Antariksha added to Venki's statement and said that we would manage.But the gatekeeper was not fully convinced.Now it was Thilli's turn to do something.He took the gatekeeper aside,put his arms around his neck and greased his palms.

So finally after giving a bribe of Rs200(now just $4),we could enter the Bhangarh Fort.

To be continued......

Trip to Bhangarh-The Most Haunted Place in India

The EEE and EnI(including EnI by choice) people of my wing(don't underestimate the 'civilite' and mechites) desperately needed this.It was Aggru's idea and there are two reasons he needed it badly:-1)he is the one who reads most number of reference books(2)he is the one who has the entrepreneur spirit and they are the ones who lead.It was quite surprising to see Gupta showing interest in the plan.Rest everything was normal.Vishal's disapproval was also quite expected.B,Thilli,Venki,Lassi showed continued interest.Ashu's approval was also a bit surprising but I must say he has changed a lot.Keep up the spirit,Ashu.Antariksh's 'yes' was also surprizing,though he replied in a manner as though he had never rejected a proposal for anything.

Post dinner session-7th October.We had to leave on 8th morning,so some drastic changes were expected.(1)I was ill and so was out of the plan.(2)The entrepreneur left the company.

Post breakfast session-8th October,8 pm-We had to leave at 10 and some more changes were expected.(1)Gupta backed out,reason-he said he was not comfortable with ghosts.(2)Thilli clean shaved-though he looked the same by the time we reached Bhangarh.Suri too resisted a bit on account of 'Comp-net',but finally decided to join when he was convinced that he would easily make the grade he usually makes.I was feeling qiute better,so I decided to join,though Thilli resisted a bit and prevented me from doing what he does daily:-taking a bath.
So finally 10 including me left for Bhangarh:-Ashu,Thilli,Venki,B,Antariksh,Lassi,Umang,Saket,Suri.

The Butterfly Effect

There are times when we do something not for the ultimate outcome,but we are more fascinated by the intermediate activities.Days become sine-wave,with unwanted high frequency but the desired positive amplitude being very low.Larry Page and Sergey Brin's work doesn't work in all cases,at least not in my case.It needs improvement,a hell lot of improvement.
Consoling myself on all these issues takes lot of time,I wish I could spend this time doing something else.Sometimes I doubt my kinship with my nearest one and I must say I am ashamed of doing so.If that small(read big)thing is the cause of all these things and what it gives in return is a bit of popularity,I don't need that.I am no longer selfish and I no longer envious.I wish I regain both my magical powers soon.I don't regret anything and I do regret the which don't require it.Priorities have changed and so has everything.Music has become an addiction.The upper limit of sitting for a work in one go is 10 secs and I am afraid,this too is an exaggeration.
A true lively example of a very long term effect.

When one neither has reasons to be happy nor to be sad,why do some people prefer the latter option????Or they just pretend to be so,just to gain other's attention.It was the first time I ignored my nescience and the worst part was that I shamelessly accepted it.The worst thing in life is to get back a loan and that too without interest.
But I am happy I have not reached the extremes.And I am sympathetic for people who reach the same.

Excess of anything is really bad

I heard this proverb long ago but I didn't know it applies to anything and everything,happiness being no exception.Its unbelievable.Probably there is a flaw in my definition of happiness.
I was told that dreams come true only after long distances are covered on paths full of thorns,but it is followed by roses.
But I walked on a path which has alternate roses and thorns and the latter outnumbered the former and the roses were made of paper.The path gave me several deaths.
Probably I am dreaming.

Its raining in Pilani and I am serious

Some extraterrestrial forces seem to be working out here in Pilani leading to occurence of things that have never taken place before.
Although I am not a pessimist,it is a fact that the time never remains same and that too in a situation when it is already indicating its retirement in its peak phase:(:(

Why does one laugh when extremely frustrsted

There was a time when i couldn't dare even to think,but I didn't know there are people who can beat me even in this.Hats off for them.That happiness,those joyous moments,everything gone in just a click.Thanks.But no problem,I have other reasons to be happy.At least a bit of 'Environment Impact Assessment ' can be done.
There are Spoken English institutes in India,some people need them badly.
The ice broke and melted,but the temperature again reached -100 degree celsius.No worries, summer is not far away.
Charles Darwin was very correct when he discovered the theory of 'Survival of the Fittest'.
I have to go,and run the race of becoming the fittest.
