Its midnight in Bangalore.
We start our little 600KM long road trip to cochin within 2 hours. My sister, her hus and Evelyn is sleeping, getting ready for the drive home. Bro is driving all the way from Bangalore to Cochin (Man! how I wish I could take Pegasus for such a trip). We will pick up my bro-in-law’s bro on our way too. I haven’t visited Cochin in a very long time. I’ve missed Rosh, Ash for so long (AJ, my third best buddy moved to Bangalore recently).
This is just a small update and to let everyone know that I’ll miss yall. See ya back in bangalore next week.

Till yesterday, I thought my computer science department was full of geeks. I never knew that computer geeks were all born bikers. =]
Our last internal exam was on March 12th, the day after my birthday. Since it was an objective based paper, everyone got out of the hall within 10 minutes. We were all just sittin by when someone mentioned the park. We all took out our steeds and took off to the park near our college. And once were there, we were just chillin out when all of a sudden someone said, “Dude, the falls is just 20kms from here”. Little did we know that its not, It was a whole 35 kms away.
The day was awesome. Swimming, Trekking, Rock climbing and what else, more Biking!!
The day reminded me about a song from RDB. Here is a remixed version of the song by a bunch of some college students making you feel the colors of college life.
Too tired to type anything more. I hope the photos & Video speak more.
Me out!

It was my Birthday yesterday.
For the first time in my life, I celebrated something I don’t like. Thats right, I just hated the idea of “birthdays” and now I know why. It was simply because I never had a birthday with people I love. My friends made it a very special day and something that I can never forget.
So my best two “Girls-who-are-friends” did the best they can to make it a special day for me. It was a double internal exams day but they both left college after the first exam and told me that they didn’t prepare for the computer paper and that they are not giving the test. But I decided to write the exam anyhow because programming is the only subject I’m sure I’ll pass (not to mention full marks).
When my exam was over, I got a call from them and they told me to head over to the mall. I took Pegasus out of the parking and took off to the mall. I had no idea what to expect. It didn’t even cross my mind that they would have actually planned soomething for today. I was just expecting just another day at the mall.
I was given directions where to find them on my way to the mall. I parked Pegasus under the mall and went upstairs to find them. Once inside McDonalds, they had a cake (Chocolate, my fav) and everything ready for my unexpected birthday party. It was really fun, and once I cut the cake, Jessy & Chotu (Neema) painted me all over with the cake’s icing. I was in no position to react and honestly, I really didn’t know what to do. And while we were there, a bunch of people playing Truth or Dare at another table had dared a guy among them to propose Neema. That gave her the same unexpected shocked expressions that I went thru half an hour ago. Anyhow, I had a fun great evening. Thanks Jes, Neema =]
My birthday wasn’t over that easy!
9PM - Me & The boys hit the road.
After the party back at the mall, I was about to knock on my friend’s door when I noticed all the Bikes parked on the houses’ side. By the looks of it, I knew the day wasn’t done. All together, there were 7 bikes (including mine) and we take two on each bike - that’s a total of 14 guys from my class.
The first thing that came came to our minds was Brigade, the most happening place in Bangalore if you wanna party late night. An hour past midnight, we stopped playing snooker & got out of the Pub totally drunk and had dinner somewhere near. According to Indian Standard time, my birthday got over at 2.30am since I was born in Bahrain. I have no clue how much money was burnt that night, but it was well worth it. No, it was freakin’ AWESOME!!
We raced back home on the empty roads of Bangalore.

I met a girl today evening.
It was just like any other day when I took Pegasus out for a spin. After sometime, I got a call from from a girl in my class and she told me to drop by a place somewhat near to my hostel. She called me since she were near my place and thought I’d be around. It was 5 pm in the evening, so I turned around and went to the mall where she said she will be waiting. I parked Pegasus and looked around for them before I called back. There were three of them. Two were my best girl-friends and the third, was someone I never saw before. Read the rest of this entry »

Ah, website. How have you been? I feel like I barely know you anymore.
As I walk through your insides, the corridors look familiar, my foot steps echo in familiar sounds. I look at the thousands of lines of code I wrote on your walls, making you look more beautiful every time I read them. You are still wearing a beautiful dress that I sewed with my own bare hands; every knot and every stitch and every colour all too familiar. But something always told me that I’m always forgetting something. Maybe it was my attention to detail or maybe it was something else. I now realize that I forgot to build you a heart.

This is an open letter to R.V; my x-best friend.
Of all people, I never expected you to act this way.
You knew me so well, but why slid away?
Was it something I did,
or was it something you said?
I’ve made choices before, better or for worse.
Now it don’t even exist, not even a casual discourse.
You were so close, too close.
I put you somewhere you don’t belong, I know the lose.
You knew it, hot shot! it was you first chance,
I’m out of words to fill in the sentence.
You let it by; the denial - it felt so real.
The scars you left, these wounds will not heal.
My shadow is the only one that walks beside me,
You were in my way, not letting me see.
Sometimes I wish you never changed,
To fix the wrongs and the hearts you damaged.
I’ve got better friends, trying not to make me feel the lack.
No matter what, or after how long, I’ll never take you back.
I know you won’t apologize. Or even feel regret,
I’ve put you away, like a burnt out cigarette.
Its over RV, This is the last blog entry subscription email you will ever receive. I’m removing you from every page of my life. This is not my choice, this is what you made me do. You avoid me in college, the corridors and stick with my foes. You left me hanging, in a dead city. And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away as I realize that all this time you were pretending. I knew I shouldn’t have trusted you so early, I doubt you planned this from the beginning. You showed your true colors in the end, but this time it missed me by a hair. It’s nice to know that you were there. Thanks for acting like you cared.
Good bye.
