Could'nt have agreed more with this aphorism, although I am sure there
are still some finishing touches left in my construction.
Havent really talked abt music for long no, jus downloaded Van Halen's Jump Video and last year brushed past me.

Last time I saw this video, i was in comforts of a cushy job, relaxing my way through endless fridays and beer pints watching television day in and day out
Now i dont have a job (BSkool is not exactly a job u see) and its going to be long 20 months before i get back to corporate life (2 month summers will be over soon).

Its been a week , but for all practical reasons sounds more like a month
Somethings were not important but then who am i to decide their
dispensibility, they came my way and i tried :)
Went to her new dwelling yesterday, was kinda suprised that girls too
can be clumsy just as we are

Am lil pissed off and lil surprised at people
Wonder if i am overreacting but since this does
not fall into any one of those "glam" behaviours
be it "feminist","snooty","indifferent" no one will
even try to understand whats the f!@#$ing problem!

Came across some comments on state (or rather lack of it)
of Politics which seems to have taken couple of turns too wrong
for last 50 years.
I have conjured up some points in favor of these politicians, rather
these are in favor of system we seem to have developed for last
5 decades. In my opinion we should understand that we have
been ruled by monarchy (either by proxy or Amit Kumarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08323461190650389107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371032.post-958610002003-06-20T06:04:00.000-07:002003-06-20T06:04:27.746-07:00Van Halen

Havent finished City of Djinns but i am quite sure

drastic happens.I lost my wallet (again?), Papa was mad
but then again it is supposed to be that way aint it?
I mean wierd is when he is not mad at me :)
Its overcast here for last 3 4 days now, its that smell of
Rains and mud which is so refreshing to us Indians.

While everyone is talking about new found virtues of forgiveness
in former First Lady for her Husband's failings, one thing i noticed
was the fact that Hillary more than Bill needs this publicity involving
the book (which is very imaginatively called Living History) She
might be thinking about 2008 elections with Dubya doingeverything
wrong and Republicans clueless about what to Amit Kumarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08323461190650389107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371032.post-957463202003-06-17T01:01:00.000-07:002003-06-17T01:24:50.000-07:00Up the Down Ladder
Ady referred to one GD session he had when he was
giving IIMC interviewin 2k+1, i can relate to that particular
sentiment now that i am lil nervous about coming months.
I am upbeat about MBA, but am apprehensive about what
kinda job i ll be doing.Looking forward to be with my Parents

Havent been updating my blog these days, she is busy and so am I.
Preeti mailed me yesterday, it felt so nice to hear from her, when i look
back to my years in school she is the one who stands as one person
who was not only bright (used to brush past me in every exam brrr)
but also so down to earth, she ll never have any problems with you.
Perhaps thats the reason I had a crush on her for Amit Kumarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08323461190650389107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371032.post-954600912003-06-09T04:44:00.000-07:002003-06-10T22:44:50.000-07:00Happy Birthday
She is 25. dont know her for long but she must have changed (err evolve) for sure.
Every year we treat others booze around do anything and everything but we just
dont reflect back:( I suggest we shud alteast write one page on what we want
from life and try to compare them over the years.

Whats the thought process of this Blog update? Most of the time its
"on the fly" whateva comes to my mind , i jot it down, this will have to
change for sure, i think best solution is that i remember what i was
thinking while going back home from company in bus.
Last night i was sitting on last but one seat (one before "big" seat at
the end)
There was a group of trainees (Amit Kumarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08323461190650389107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371032.post-952219662003-06-02T21:12:00.000-07:002003-06-02T21:12:52.000-07:00Home
Will be returning back to delhi in 20 days, i was jus thinking about times when i used
to get frustrated about the distance between delhi and bangalore and the fact that
fastest train takes 35 hours to reach delhi.
Its been more than a year here at Bangalore, suddenly the feeling of leaving this place
has gripped me, i just dont want to get back to dusty bowl called delhi leaving this Amit Kumarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08323461190650389107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371032.post-951824772003-06-02T00:48:00.000-07:002003-06-02T03:56:02.000-07:00Travelogue
Someone told me I have large number of "travel lines" on my hand,
what he meant was that i would travel , dunno if i ll become a travel
writer in my 30's but one thing is for sure i have not travelled a bit for
last one year discounting numerous trips to Delhi and Bombay
which were purely for interview and admission purposes.
Gaurav was urging me for weeks now, and i was feeling Amit Kumarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08323461190650389107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371032.post-950676102003-05-29T22:21:00.000-07:002003-05-29T22:21:59.336-07:00Sea is Calling
Presto ! What does one need on a weekend? A "roka" to attend :)
Five Guys and a Car to boot and Ola , we go to Chennai tonight
and then off to Ocean :)
I wanted this break badly, since she ll be going to Mussourie with her
friends before she starts going to new organisation she has just
joined and it would have been a drab weekend without a call from her.

Garre,Pasu,Sree,Prasanna, Sukriti(No we dont have unisex toilets yet but she passes (sic) by us
wheneva we go for leak).
I think going to toilet in droves relaxes people at large(sic again), plus a project team which
"pisses" together stays together :) however I hate when Raol goes for his call, this guy is 6' 2" !!
