Meme





For those wondering about what this title means, I would say just try going to Wiki. Now to the story how I got this.

I was chatting with my girlfriend yesterday night and she asks me-

"Hey, tell me a word that means new ideas, philosophies, etc"

"Uh me? Y do u need this?"

"For one of my friends. He wants a name for his blog"

"Ok. What about Jugaad?"

"Nahi jaan. I want it in English. U r soooo intelligent na!!!" ( No exaggeration)

"Wow!!!" She has got the wrong notion about me. Y don't I honour that. And I was Googling for a word for the next 15-20 minutes. After all, it was a matter of my intelligence!!!

And at last I strike at Meme. It is not exactly what she wanted. But I like the sound of that. I smile to myself. And I proudly announce it to her.

"Uh??? What is it?"

She didn't even know that it was a word suggestion. Might have thought that I had typed it in mistake! So I send her the link in Wiki.

It takes a few minutes for her to reply. And is she talking about other things???

"Did u like the word?"

"Woh sab chod do! Let's talk about something else"

WHOA!!! What was it? Is it really gross???

State of Affairs


I finished my Course Viva on July 2nd. Now, I'm an Electrical Engineer finally. And I'm sitting at home, having a GALA time (This particular word in remembrance of Usha ma'am, our Biology teacher from KV. She was always behind my long hair and my poems.)

"Manish, u better cut ur hair. Or else I've got an old dissection scissors in my lab. I'll cut ur hair. Or else, I'll bring ribbons and tie ur hair"

She was a sweet lady. :-) Cheers to u ma'am!

I wake up at 11 in the morning; have my lunch at 12 and then log onto the computer and browse. Google is an awesome thing. Man, Larry Page and Sergey Bin are two awesome guys! Between, for those who care, Google is going to launch their Linux based OS, named Google Chrome (the browser was just a part, I guess). It will be available from the second half of 2010. Will MS have to jump out thru the Windows??? I'm excited

Back to my routine. I've my lunch at 3 and watch movies that I downloaded the other day. Bit Torrent is another awesome thing!

And at 5, I land at Punkunnam and I'm there till 8. It's the old KVians hangout. By the way, MLA Road looks awesome now after all the rains. Cheers!

Nights are for computers again. Till 11-12, I'm again online, reading articles, playing games, blogging. What a life!!! I love this. I don't wanna join any company. :-) Would love do continue this.

Maybe, a SMS Vyshu send me today will do good here. Some of u might know this already. Don't show off. This is for those who haven't heard this. :-|



MOM: Wake up son. It's time to go to college.

SON: Y Amma? I don't want to go to that college.

M: Give me two reasons y u don't want to go to ur college?

S: One, all students hate me! Two, all teachers hate me!

M: Oh! That's not a reason. Come on, u've to go to college.

S: Give me two reasons y I should go to college.

M: One, U r 52 years old!!! Two, U r the Principal of the college!!!

~~~~~ ~~~~~

FOOTNOTE: I've two backlogs to clear before I get out of that college. That's on 14th and 23rd. The wonder that is Calicut University, the results would be out only by Jan-Feb!!! For those with the combination of placements and backlogs, SMILE. There is nothing u can do other than that!

TOENOTE: Infosys have asked for a statement about the current state of affairs. :-) They just want to know if we'll join on the said date, i.e., Sept 29th. Well, if u r desperate enough to join, u can get a certificate stating ur current (read pathetic) situation from ur principal and scan it and mail it to them. Phew!!!

NAILNOTE: I'm going to join for Mock CAT in TIME, Thrissur. Meanwhile, here is a list of things I want to do in between:

  • Learn to play guitar
  • Get a new music system for the car
  • Learn Spanish ( Gonna go out wid Penelope. :-) No kidding! )
  • Learn Salsa ( I need a partner who is willing to relocate to Bangalore for the sake of this)
  • Join Lights & Life for the 100 days Photo-Journalism course
  • Buy a new Nikon D90. I want it real bad. (It would cost around 1 Lac. Donations accepted)
  • ....................................

One of the best laid(not literally getting laid though) back times.. is just after your s8 and being in calicut university adds a gloss to it (coz u never know). Would say time to 'Meme' yourself!! culturally evolve... Salsa will be a good way to start!! Any salsa places in thrissur?? Might find in Palakkad Kallu Shaap's :P

The M Thursday, July 16, 2009 10:45:00 pm  

I know. I knew it 1st when in s4 what its to study in Calicut univ. But we envy u guys. Evryone says that, 4-8 years back, it was a golden time in NSS.

Now its really dim.

Salsa n Tcr. Wow :)

Ya, the Kallu Shop Salsa is very much alive and a hot fav. :-)

The M Thursday, July 16, 2009 11:07:00 pm  

Btn, there will be college pics in my Picasa. Will put newer ones soon.

Shabbu Friday, July 17, 2009 12:33:00 am  

Naah nothing like that, for everyone college life is a golden period for what so ever be the reasons!! But yes its very much different from what is it now, time for a student revolution irrespective of parties.

The M Friday, July 17, 2009 9:36:00 am  

ya, the time calls for it but the situation is somethng pathetic with batch rivalry along with all thge politics. Our final yrs day was a mess n lead to the college being closed for weeks and police cases.

a solitary exodus....

this is my space; its all about my life, the people i've met, the people i dream of meeting, people i love, people i like, people i hate, people i miss, people who have influenced me, helped me. it is about those hundreds of my emotions, all small and imperfect, but nevertheless completing me.
