diwali just got over, i always get excited that yes!! now we celebrate!! but.... there is this thing, the fireworks are pretty short-lived, and diwali has lost its charm for me, every time i blast a bomb, i think "why do i do this?" coz the aftermath is just discomfort, ringing ears, and loads of choking smoke.. btw i drove the car in traffic today :-) yay!! and after we reached the destination, the driver called up my dad and told him im not ready for it so i have to go to those empty lots at the trade fair grounds again :-(
some related pics:-
ok, actually unrelated, but this is a pic of snowy, our close friend's dog (actually he is the son of my bitch, we gave him/it to them). in this i was tempting him with a piece of gujia (diwali sweet, so you see, it is kinda related)
pretty obvious what the things above are....
from left:- me, surangana, priyank, my bro...
also, our school (little angels) had an alumni dinner, and i kinda shifted my pune return dates for that, and although i don't totally regret going to it, it wasnt all that great, i mean, i would love to spend time with my friends, mainly nishant and neda etc in a private get-together or something, im not really into big parties i guess, fun and really really close friends are what matter in the end man, they are the ones you hang out with and shit.... and that is cool and perfect, no need to make elaborate plans, organize something big, just call up and say "meet me here at this time" and reach there without questions, something like that....
pics related to that:-
now i know this looks confusing and stupid but some of the guys happened to land up on each other like this and i somehow landed up with this photo, pretty funny.
and besides this i don't really have too many interesting photos to put up here.......
now, about my current musical foray, im drowning in songs by 'the fray', 'nine inch nails','the afters','snow patrol',' and have kinda re-discovered lifehouse, earlier i was under the impression that theyre just another bubblegum pop band and used to listen to a couple of their songs e.g:- 'somewhere in between', 'hanging by a moment' and the hugely popular 'you and me', but now im excessively listening to them, they've got awesome awesome (and some of my favourite) lyrics and jason wade's singing voice and talent is unnnnmatched, really love em right now, especially the songs 'come back down', 'days go by', 'everything' , 'spin' , 'sick cycle carousel', 'everybody is someone', 'you belong to me' and "Blind" (i think i owe the 're-discovery' to yasmeen's mad raving about them,Hmmm.....)
and yeah, my school (LAHS) is losing class, man, i wonder why it is considered the best in the city!!!! everything is to do with competition and winning, everything is kiddish, while other schools make an adult out of you, these people kinda make u a mess, i don't know how to explain it, but, it isnt really as good as it seems, there is so much of a facade to the school it's as if its whole picture to the world is the 'awards' the children have been over stressed and over pampered to achieve....the achievers are over-pampered, the under-achievers are given the cold shoulder, its an all-singing, all-dancing freakshow!! the favouritism is soooooo bad, the behaviour of everyone soooooo cheesy, its as if it's not about student development, but development of the image of the school so that more students are caught in the deathtrap that the fake smiles in the advertisements made look like such an 'awesome place to send your child'....the posters of some of the competitions and plays etc arent even put up on the bulletin board because the school knows which the 'best' students for the competition are, and it sends the kids to the competitions, wins the competition, and the students are awarded during the assembly as ppl wonder "when did this happen???"
there, ive said enough, and please don't argue with me on this, you probably were one of the 'achievers' if you think the school 'absolutely rocks!!', sheesh, i used to be an 'achiever', but i never let it get to my head, ok so im overconfident sometimes, im sure that's coz of this school, obviously the ppl who run the school care about the students at some level, but taking pride in the number of awards isn't the way of showing it, because not everyone wins awards, but everyone is affected by the lack of attention..... ever seen a principal calling an underachieving student their 'favourite' here??? its always the award winners, the liked ones...
looks like i hadn't said enough ;-)
now i have.....
ok i end with two pictures, the front....
and the rear view....
from my new house!!!! (under construction)
cya later children.
