a cool and uber-sexual alter ego.

recently i made a very thrilling discovery that im not one man, but two.

i have this stupid,idiotic nerd who breathes books and studies on one part of my brain.

and the other part is controlled by a lazy, flamboyant beauty conscious stud(now 'stud' could be a generous evaluation)

i was the nerd for 16 years.

took 2 years for the transition period.

rechristined myself as the couch potato.

coming to think of it, this trait switching could be the indirect result of a lotto movies. heroes who are lazy appeal a lot to me these days. saif ali khan in hum tum,for instance. in perfect agreement with sigmond freud, i blame it all on my subconscious mind.

sometimes i like to break free. that is wen i go to sleep.i wake up as either of the two. but 99 out of 100 times in the last 4 yers, it's been the couch potato waking up.

when its the nerd, thats wen i dont like it at all. i start studying for no reason. and become a lot more honest. Sv could have killed me the other day, when he chose me as the group partner(not that he or me had a lot of options to choose from). the decision was purely on similar frequency basis, he likes to copy and i like to copy too. but on the lab, some one somehow put me to sleep and alas!! there came the nerd. i wanted to do the lab on our own. it was late,really late when finally the couch potato rose. and the nerd wasted 3 hours of my life. and Sv's too. But he says he saved an hour by sleeping. oh well.. my 3 hrs and his 2 hrs.

thers a slightly different version to the whole incident. Sv has agreed to help me out. this is my blog,definitely my own blog,but the following few sentences, Sv has written purely out of love and sympathy.

" Aswin is placed in BankAm and knows shit about computers. if thers one thing he's really really afraid of, thats being fired.

all this nerd and couch potato thing is rubbish. he's jus trying to cover up the fact that he tried to do the lab on his own,which is pretty demeaning by his own standards."

a third person account comes really handy. saves ur face. thank you Sv.(as in "thank you shaktimaan")

comin bak ,

i hereby recognize the nerd as my real self

and

the couch potato as my alter ego.

very few have found my posts worthy of comments. if under any circumstances anyone chooses this one to, pls for heavens sake stay away. i have a pretty good idea abt the kind of words it can evoke from you.

boredom, u the mother of invention

guys i've invented a new hobby. halfwits, "i dont give a damn about a potential argument that u can only discover a hobby, not invent it." who remembers discoverers anyway? inventors are cool. and im a wannabe. not a wannabe inventor, but a wannabe cool.
back to my,err...... invention. traveling without a plan. halfwits,"i know ppl have traveled without a plan since the stone age, but u know im the frst to give it the status of a hobby".

so this is wot i do these days. apart from watching random movies,reading random blogs,attending random lectures and choosing random hours to get up.

lazy to say more on the hobby.wot more can it be? thers some amount of planning involved though. u plan the hour of the day to wake up.an unshaven face and a shoulder bag definitely adds to the aura.
ps: Traveling without a plan is an expensive hobby. needs a lotto cash. up for the taking if ur dad's an ATM.

College Kumaran

bad bad movie. not even worth a review. well,nothing more could be expected from the team of "Mr.Brahmachari".But this is even worse. Stupid and brainless script, unimaginative direction, and forgettable songs. And to add to it all, one of the most ridiculous punchlines ever-"i love you"
Mohan lal will want to forget this one.
to the producer-- giving vimala raman more screen time might sell. trim one stupid song or joke and add her in.
i am sad for the 30rs i spent.

cycle

I was clearly out of mind when i decided to give it a chance. Directed by Johny Antony whose earlier outings were CID Moosa,Inspector Garud,THuruppu Gulaan and Kochi Rajaavu, i expected nothing but a flurry of idiotic and nonsensical sequences. However,10 minutes into the movie,i was assured that i wouldnt lose my money.
The plot revolves around two friends Roy(Vineeth Sreenivasan) and Sanju(Vinoo Mohan) who are both from modest backgrounds. Put into situations which seem more realistic than extraordinary,the two protagonists struggle to stay on their lives, following the best alternative at every juncture. Anything more would be an offence to all people who wish to watch a refreshing thriller,full of hilarious moments.
Both the actors deliver well,and vineeth sreenivasan reminds you of his dad,in his early days. Much of the attention and all of the applause he recieves throughout the movie is because of this canny resemblance. Only if he could work on his dialogue delivery. Vinoo Mohan is the next friendly neibhourhood boy, take it from me.


Cycle belongs to that class of movies which have been inspired by 'Classmates'. Had the latter not happened, no one in their right mind would have put their money on 4 struggling actors and a director who irritated more than he evoked laughter. However,Cycle will eventually turn out to be the turning point in the career of Johny Antony. I am not suggesting that this is a perfect movie.But it is definitely a realistic one, and a good one at that too. Much of the praise should go to James Albert who makes a delightful comeback through his marvellously crafted script.Not a single scene goes into waste. At parts, it even has the class of 'Ramji Ravu Speaking'.This man is here to stay.

movie review

desperately searching for topics to keep my blog engaged,i quite stumbled upon the idea of reviewing mallu movies.
given that watching movies in the frst week of release is almost the only creative and planned activity i have done in 3 yrs,im bound to make some progress...

the fourth ragam

the fourth and final ragam of my life..if i dont lose any papers,ie...
sad to think its all going to be over in 3 months..
happy to feel its happening...
excited to give it one more go...

"Ragam, the love of my life"
(errr... sounding awkwardly romantic)




hurray!!! dat makes it two posts in a day

male-chauvanistic-misogynistic

since there is such alarming hue and cry over being single, time is ripe for the established singler in me(the art of wooing "the girl" still remains oblivious) to enlighten whichever cursed soul that reads my blog with the..ehm highs of being single:

a) the mobile runs on a rs.100 budget(of course with the usual "er ..im out of balance..can u lend me ur phone")

b) you get to stay unshaven till ur mom stops serving food.

c) peace of mind

d) more peace of mind..

cannot think of anything new for the moment.. wait till the list is populated... im not finished yet..

back to the blogosphere...

mixed feelings on being back after such a long time
a little bit of anxiety and a lot of embarrassment...

anxiety about the stuff written by other bloggers(i havnt read a single blog in about a year)
and the new version of the software...

and embarrassment on reading my previous posts.. the last one seeing daylight on 24 dec 2005.

this time though, im determined to continue..

should i try my hand at it ?

mood: determined to keep the blog going

december, time for celebrations...
time for me to make a decision

gettin really bored of formal parties n newyr wishes
if i had a girl friend, could've taken her out......

so that leaves me free with another allurin option
shud i also take drinks like my frnds at my place?
gud god, they do hav a gr8 time ........
thinkin of spentin new yr ther
but too lazy to make a travel

if i decide against boozin,
i kno how my newyr is gonna b like,

watchin midnight movies at home
and makin calls to my frnds...........

circuits and crap >>>>>>

Its just the beginning of our 4th sem, and we compsci dudes def hav a lot to be worried about.
for one thing, all our subject teachers, save one are professors or lecturers..
for people who dont kno, we hav another group of teachers who are inexperienced.....
people say we had a kind of feast last sem when we had just two lecturers
and four ad-hocs(the kind of just into teaching ppl)
so we could actually impress them without much trouble (i failed again) and score more marks

and even then what i did was a 5.95
Hmmm, now it looks like these professors are gonna flunk me
I asked one of my seniors (an 8 pointer) what to do
all he told me was to b attentive in the class, submit assignments in time, and work hard,
remember, WORK HARD......
this is all a piece of shit.... advice
man, heś advisin me,
(therś no question of salvaging my pride, being a five pointer among merits is no small job)
i dont even attend classes, leave alone being attentive.......

looks like iĺl hav to please all of them (the professors)...
therś actually no other go
and so , i took a resolution to submit lab records in time
we have some kind of lab called Digital Systems on tuesdays at 2.00
this is what happened today...

12.15 our class is over
12.20 i go hav food
12.45 i think about completing my record
1.00 still not decided what to do
1.10 i go to Roshans room
1.15 i start reading the latest sports star (record still in mind, though)
1.30 decided to start writing
1.30 went on rounds in the first floor, found everyone else busy writin
1.40 stunned to find SV writing,
thought strikes dat iĺl be the only one in the lab without a record
1.40 found deepak outside, with his completd record
1.45 finally started writing
1.50 @#$#%$%^ busy writing
1.55 oh shit!@! i'll not b able to burn pages in time
2.05 recieved deepaks sms asking for his record

----------------------- and i finally sent him his book, through bajji
the funniest part of it is what happened next.......
the entire batch is shown the door even without marking attendance
for lack of preparation......
now thats wht i call a lab!!!!
(hey hey for d first time in yrs, i was spared when my batch was flunked)
this entire circuit lab thing is crap......
cannot really forget my last lab session,
havin to deal with dead circuits and ever so boring breadboards is no fun
(i mean, spentin 3 hrs fiddlin with them-- Daniel does the work)

never liked electronics in my life
had an E-grade for S2 and now a rectified backpaper in S3
what more can u expect frm me?

dont kno when iĺl be freed of circuits..
actually dont kno if iĺl b freed at all.............................

5.95 and still moving on........

looks like i've got s'thin to write about.......
maybe bcoz i had nothin to write for my exams
well, my results were announced last week..

and surprisingly, i had a backpaper in Electronics....
thank god ours is a deemed University
i could plead my teachers for internal marks,
which, i'm proud to say i did , very successfully...
luckily got my marks increased by 5 and then, i passed.......

now i'm the prowd owner of a cgpa of 6.3 and an sgpa of 5.95
unless things turn around miraculously, i'll end up with a cgpa around 6.5,
which i suppose will earn me a job......
looks like it will b the first time things happen as i thought
after joining this college....

now i hav grades of 7.05, 5.96 and 5.95
the only ppl who console me by their presence alone are my classmates,
Anoop SV , who has three backpapers to clear, and JS, who has a cgpa of around 6.0

earlier aftre my s2 results were out, i thought i cudnt get any worse (with a gpa of 5.96 , a couple of close shaves in electronics, graphics and an attendance shortage in electrical)
but it seems dat i was underestimatin myself......
I definitely made an improvement this sem; i started attending classes and stopped proxying( of course,dats an impr for me)
but now i hav been rewarded with another 5.95........................


[ hope cgpa's and sgpa's are not new to you.........
if they are, MAN, U ARE LUCKY!!!....
If u wanna kno how lucky u are,
jus go read 'Five Point Someone'...... ]

well, as u might kno, i belong to the land of gpa's,
the one and only NITC
everytime i try to do a blog,
i end up mockin my college
i cant help, i really hate bein here,
d only palce i like here is d comp center
24hrs internet free.......

and i end up on the hi5
cool........
never forgettin the gpa's though,
i need to score around 7.0 this sem
to take my cgpa to 6.5.....

with this kind of progress i'm making,
if i clock 7.0,
well, then Houdini will never b heard of again............................

why do u need a blog?

I dont know if one needs a blog.........
if u think i'm a starter , u r wrong
i've tried bloggin before and never found it really interestin.........
sorry if i upset regular bloggers
But i still hav no idea what i shud blog about......
One of my friends, Britto maintains a web page as a personal diary..
and he calls it WOW-Whirlpool Of Wisdom..........
really funny.......
i could also keep an e-diary, but ne'r really had d habit........
Once my father told me to keep one and be frank in what i write.
I asked him wat ppl write on their personal diaries....
he told me dat they kept diaries for recordin events in their life
and more than that, their THOUGHTS.......
I dont like ppl readin what i think of others, unless i want them to kno.
If i do s'thin like a diary on the net, i dont kno what it will b like,
well, it wont be a 'Whirlpool Of Wisdom' - thats for sure....


But i cant help creatin newer blogs......
I once even tried writin about my college
and my friends here-- a kind of "Five point s'one" thing
but failed miserably........

may b i'll find out what ppl write on their blogs
and WHAT I HAVE TO BLOG ABOUT....

hope i can continue with this one atleast........
