Yackjacktlyy...

Hi XXX,
I have missed. I can understand its time you need change.
I wish you all the best. Hope you will perform same in your new company.
Though we don't spoke much. But you are the intimacy for me.
Have a nice weekend.

P. S :- This mail was sent by a totally unknown guy in reply to a goodbye mail from a female friend of mine who recently changed her company. Note that the first sentence is der to inform her that she missed his name in the mailing list.If someone can interpret the 6th sentence, BE MY GUEST :) By far the most funny mail i've ever read... :)

God Only Knows !!!

Consider a time long long ago. Ur in a place where ppl grew happily around u, got educated, earned their livelihood. U notice that to get companionship or say to befriend a person around you, you need to have some qualities, you should preferably have something in common to be represented as one’s friend, u need to be , if not anything, of a certain class. And let’s say if things are going south or you have some scores to settle or some help to seek you’d always wanna rely on these so said set of ppl u call friends.

Now consider u fall in none of the category above sayin,
-U suck on ur social life front,
-U don’t have a good image with which people’d wanna recognize u as their friend,
-More importantly u don know how to speak or to say present ur self, or say ppl don value ur words for reasons best known to you.

In such a desperate scenario what wud one do to seek companionship or say draw ppl close to oneself??????
ANYTHING!!!
Right?

Now thinking of it I’ve got my own reasons to believe that, there was indeed such a time long long ago, there were such men and there must have been such a desperate situations that must have bought them to come up with one of the most Ridiculous and to some extent most destructive idea ever thought of… The concept of RELIGION.

I have nothing against religion as such, but what really bugs me is ppl blindly following what they listen and see in the name of religion. I wonder how ur so said "evolved brain" doesn’t stand in way or question wen one says- it’s right to immolate a widow on her husband’s pyre, to kill others in name of holy war, justify polygamy in favor of men but forbid the other way round, why women are loaded wearing all possible things which yell loud and clear saying “I AM MARRIED” and men get to go off the hook. Who gave away the rights to some individual to decide what’s immoral and what’s not- what wud please ones god and what wud bring his wrath?, on what basis is one belief termed holy and other satanic?. The way I see it, these mere individuals are imposing their stupid point of views in name of religion for the equally stupid masses to follow. They are very aware that their words/ opinions/ point of view is not worth a dime without the façade of religion they cover it with. The whole idea here is to sell you an idea of god which scares u to the extent that u’d need to pray to 3,000,0000000 gods to stay safe from the equally diverse no. of problems u cud possibly face if u choose to go otherwise, there’s a day allocated to each god on which ur supposed to please him, ur required to pray a specified no. of times in a day etc., etc., just for him to love you back. If you wish to extend ur services by becoming his special SON den go do all the mindless things they say is written in ur GOD’s holy book.

If reading all this has made you to write me off as an atheist, then ur wrong. As I mentioned earlier I don have a problem with religion or believing in GOD, my problem is with ppl who use religion as a tool to turn men against each other and more importantly the ease with which ppl are- uh… wha’s the term- “BRAINWASHED” which I doubt them having any in the first place. Each individual may have a different concept of god which he’d like to follow, which if intended can give birth to a religion by itself. The idea here is to think for yourself if, what ur told abt god makes sense to you, the idea which makes u so scared of him that u actually need to be reminded by the same ppl that “HE LOVES YOU”!!. All I’m saying is continue following whichever religion/ belief / concept of god you find apt or connect with, but don let it to override ur sensibilities.

to B.E or not to B.E

Watched a real good movie after long (A Wednesday); on my way back down, I was lost in varied thoughts among Forum’s morning show crowd. Of all the noise from the crowd that surrounded me, one particular sentence fell into my ears loud and clear:

“Dude it’s only 12, still too early to go back home”

A broad smiled flashed across my face, a turned back to have a look at the speaker, aaah!! my guess was spot on: Lean guy, 20-21 yrs of age, Casual attire, Huge backpack (but had nothing more dan a book or two maxx), 3 friends fittin similar descriptions- He indeed was a ENGINEERING student, loaded with pocket money jus yesterday, has classes until noon (atleast that’s wha his mom knows abt) which he obviously plans to bunk n have ONE (one of many similar days that have preceded and will follow) day off to chill / relax, has probably killed 2-3 professors already in the current semester (So mom won’t buy it anymore as a reason).

Engineering is a phase which, according to me, every young individual has to go thru. Like students in Europe take a yr off to travel, students here who aspire to get into medical or go in other line of profession should try engg atleast for a year. Because a yr of Engg experience will teach you more than 10yrs of work experience in any line. After 4 (or more) yrs of toil when u have a job in hand and ur med school counterparts are nowhere near the earning phase it’s literally like, we are sticking our thumb on our nose and making faces at them.

It’s a strange world altogether, here last benchers bunk a new lecturer’s class cos he had ragged him/ her when the now lecturer was then his junior. Library is full of books which has main important pages missing which u’l find torn & strewn outside xam hall at the end of internals. Hostel is a place of worship wher u have access to everything from Movies to Important Notes to STUFF, also where you can collect any exorbitant amount of cash overnight to buy a LEAKED Question paper.

Only a engg student wud have the audacity to turn back before starting a final xam paper and ask what does the acronym, used to refer a subject all semester, really stand for*1 . Only he wud have the will power to bring a change of fate, more dramatic than a climax of a hindi movie, in 3rd internal marks which in turn will affect his average. Only he’d posses a memory to mug all the 15- 20 lab c++ programs in syllabus down to every comma and hyphen and semi-colon. An engineer student truly is the only person who’d think it’s possible to read a 1000 page book and give xam on the same, in hours. Only he will, deep within his heart, truly think that he will for real “start studyin from tomorrow” every single day. Here the probability of u flunking a paper even after solving 90 marks worth is equal to the probability of u scoring 35 on solvin 20 marks worth. Sounds of SOM, DSP, EC, S&S, M2 will send shivers down his spine, but on getting flunked will evoke a response “ Backs are the BACKBONE of engineering” from him. That’s a B.E student for you unfazed by any defeat, ready for any given task, coz he knows if it's thought of, it can surely be done..


The taste of B.E -> unforgettable.
The days of B.E -> best ever.

1.No offence meant to any other line of profession but everythin stated above is true to the core, there’s no beatin B.E course.
2.A engineer is repeatedly referred to as HE coz I’m too lazy to write he/she at every instance.
