My laptop was declared dead last evening. 6 years with it. When I bought it, I shouted at my dad so much - 'u bought me a cheap one, u bought me a cheap one.' No doubt it was a cheap one, 35,000, six years back. But practically, my laptop was the best I have ever seen anywhere. The hp people could put an ad on how much a laptop can endure hardcore rough users. Guess mine was the best in the whole hostel. Mine was the one which sent sms during exam time, mine was the one used in 2 gatherings, mine was the one which downloaded the maximum movies & songs in the whole hostel, surely my laptop witnessed the biggest addict of facebook, surely me.
Now, working on Akash's laptop. Dude got exams. Rishi just left. It was a cold evening today.
&, I, fell off bike twice in past 15 days.
I love biking. Not slow biking. Fast & rash biking. Just like my old cycling days. 125 kmph, even Akash hadn't driven his bike ever at that speed, that too on Nagpur highway, where overtaking is a mess. Did have to get off the road many times when the front heavy vehicles wouldn't give side while overtaking each other. Just that, this time the off road had a pit. Ofcourse the fault was in my judgement - 'lets fly over it with full speed.' It didn't work that way. Lucky thing, didn't have bottles in my bag. Though loaded 4 bumpers from Saqui, after the accident, something Tarun sir would say - 'Jazba hai...'
Our accidents are mostly like, fall down, get up, clean off the dirt, 'will see after reaching hostel, what all has happened.'
So till now, my list of accidents at college life-
1. Rathore driving, me sitting at back seat.
2. Myself, alone on Dad's scooter, at home.
3. Anurag driving, me sitting at back seat.
4. Myself driving Karizma, Avinash tiwari on back seat.
5. Vinit mishra driving, me on back seat.
6. Myself, alone on Pulsar 180.
7. Myself, on Avenger, Vedant on back seat.
Can't wipe off Anurag's list though. His list - fall at nagpur from avenger, fall at doctor's colony while saving a puppy, fall infront of Ich at 11:30 pm, fall with me near ganesh talkies & many more. The biggest of his accidents was surely the one in front of girl's hostel gate, leaving marks on his face.
So, this is how my plans of going to Jabalpur get cancelled. I want to live a peaceful life now. Someday I will buy a bike, & then will go on a long long drive. Bit like the The Motor Cycle Diaries of Che Guevara.
Feeling like I am loosing the ambiance of drinking. First time I drank, no, my birthday wasn't the day, or maybe, first time I tasted alcohol was with Amit Mohit Kawalkar at La Horee. That was just a breezer, then 1 peg vodka & 1 peg whisky, fully diluted. Officially how I drank my gulp for the first time was, 30 december, 2010, two bottles strong beer, 7 pegs whisky, 2 pegs rum, 1 shot tequilla, followed by incessant vomiting & drama whole night, with an english conversation with a beggar & his street dog at night 1:00 am, running on the street wherever the bike stopped. Madness. How can I one not forget the acts of Ankush when he drank on new year night at Nagpur. Ankush was considered one of the very toughest drinkers of our group. God knows how many pegs made an elephant like him unconscious. Drinking with 07 batch is far enjoying than drinking with 06 people. Taak, if anyone I ever saw getting literally 'stoned' after rum, then that would be him. He slept with eyes open whole night.
Whatever.
Hoping for a big match to watch tonight, Germany vs Italy. Germany became my favorite after I watched the side during the world cup. The team really contains talent at every position. Otherwise, me, a hardcore Brazilian fan. During the 4 R days Brazil (ronaldo, rivaldo, ronaldinho, roberto), the only player I knew of Germany was the great Oliver Kahn. After him, when did the Ballack era come & go, didn't get any notice only.
For me, now, the best team, on paper, in the world, is no doubt, Germany. Be it the the forwards, Klose, Podolski, Schweinstiger, be it the middle, Ozil, my fav, Khedira, defense, Lahm, Boateng, Mertesacker. The best thing about the germans is that their substitutes are also the finest, Kroos, Reus, Jansen, Muller, Gomez, Schuller & many more. Euro did occupy me somehow after Ipl left. Surprisingly, in football, the club matches carry more frenzy than the international matches, for cricket its just the opposite. & for me its allover contrary. For me the Kolkata Knight Riders mean more than the Indian cricket team. & Germany matters more than Bayern Munich, England over Manchester United, Spain over Real Madrid.
Waiting for the T20 Champions League. Was a time when the Knight Riders had the Gayle storm, Maccullum, Akhtar certainly went away with Pakistan. Yet they lacked the T20 game pattern. Alloha now. Whom will ya get over cause the whole team contains talent. Striker in opening, Bisla, MacCullum, striker in middle, Pathan, best steady players, Kallis, Gambhir, Tiwari, class allrounders, Shakib, Kallis, Ryan speedsters Lee, Lange, Pattinson, & come in with the master spinners Narine, Iqbal. On paper, the team in the best, just like the German national football team.
What else.
Again sad. Rishi came & went. Reminded again what his company meant to me. Dude made it up to IIT Mumbai. Last night, over the Sawangi fly over, he said - "see, this what I told you, wait & see how the story ends." I was left wondering - 'what story ended where ???' 'Ok, he got selected.' Wondering when will I get selected.
Planning for a new laptop now. No stipends yet.
Blog writing is more of a kind diary writing for me. Referred by Vinit mishra.
This post was just a time pass one. Didn't get anything better to do after Rishi left, & myself sitting, trying to dry the wounds as soon as possible. The joints still pain. Can't lift up my causal weights at gym till now, since the bike stunt. Some of the best articles were written in recent last posts, containing one freaky poem. He he he. I always wanted to write something like that, more of the kind motivated from the Critical History of Modern Literature.
