I have been sitting for almost two hours and all I came up was this crappy blog title and now I don’t know what to put in it. Maybe its because I’m on a very slow internet connection or maybe its because when I logged on after a long time, I didn’t have any new comments or emails to read (Hmm… my readers seem to have abandoned me-maybe I abandoned them). Or maybe, its because I just lost how to blog.
There were times when I could lean on my pillow with the laptop on my knees and type to my hearts content, ah! how I enjoyed the joys of a laptop. But now, I’m literally lost.
Since I have lots of things to say and got no Idea how to do it, I better put it all down the way it comes out.
Lets see now, my last blog entry was about my trip back to Cochin. Read the rest of this entry »

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.

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.

My throat aches with pain, literally burns inside each time I take in a puff from the half burnt cigarette in my hand. The smell of smoke fills the insides of my nose when I exhale. I doubt if its taste of my own burning skin on the insides of my throat.
I’m suffering from heavy fever thats been going on around and severe tonsillitis. I’ve a sore throat and I seem to have lost my voice. I can’t speak for more than 30 seconds in one go. I’m too weak to keep up with my schedule and things seem to get even tighter with people demanding lots of things from me. Nothing seems to be right and everything is a mess.

Today, I feel more free than I’ve ever felt in my life. Its no wonder they compare engineering to imprisonment, I feel like a free man now. Well, this is just parole. I’ll have to go back to penitentiary within 20 days.
Exams are over, College closed and everyone has left Bangalore for home. Me & My steed (Pegasus) is all that is left.
Life always takes me for a trip, a whacked out color filled experiment. Read the rest of this entry »
January 11, 2008 at 11:56 am · Filed under Bangalore, College Life, Dear Diary, Friends
In my Bestfriend’s diary I found another person, a lonely soul, but happy in his own space. In his diary he lived in a world of his own. He smiled, laughed and cried with the pages, telling the untold. As his pen swayed from left to right, my friend shared a pain that I still find hard to comprehend. He lived a lie, he was a different person from the one he wrote about.
I met this person from college a couple months back, R.V, as he likes to be called, became inseparable from me in a matter of days. He borrowed a new journal from me few days ago. I didn’t know what it was for -until yesterday. Read the rest of this entry »

A very short post, with a question and I need answers.
So I met this girl in college about a month ago. We recently met up, had a GREAT real date that led to some hot and heavy fun afterwards (I was fueled by too much alcohol!). That day morning, (it was an exam day) she called me over we made plans to hang out the evening. After the exam, we left college together. Needless to say, alcohol had its effect and the date wasn’t quite as “va-voom” like times before. I ended up feeling nervous and I wasn’t really myself.
After all of it, I dropped her backl. It was a great feeling to have her hugging me all the way, from college and back (gotta love the disc brakes of my pegasus). Each time I hit it, she comes a little closer. I held on to the throttle like a kid to a box of chocolate. Pegasus roared under us and pushed us through half empty Bangalore highways. It was dark all around on our way back, except for my headlights and a few streetlights. I could feel her breathe on my shoulder and as I went even faster, she shivered with the cold but still wanted me to go faster. She is really caring, loves speed, parties and traveling, just like me. She is nothing like my previous “friend-who-is-a-girl” who turned out to be a bitch (thats for another day, another entry).
So my dilemma: I want another chance! I think we connected because we were attracted to each other and I would love to get to know her better with at least one more date. She is a bit younger than me (3 years) and I think I’m too old for her ( I’m not worried about the age difference, but my character is not that of a teenager). Do you have any advice on how best to score one more chance? There are all of these more low-key date activities I would love to do this weekend.
Timely advice would be greatly appreciated!:)

This is just one of my many “OUT-ing” in my college;
So, its November 2007 & my first semester in college. I had eyes on me for over a week after this incident. What is he playing at? Is he out of his mind? How can he talk to teachers like that? Ruben Babu, the atheist–someone who doesn’t believe in God. An anticleric. A disrespecter of religion. A mocker of Christianity, became popular by a matter of minutes.
An Atheist, being stared at like something vile. Someone like, oh, Diderot (”Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest“). Or Voltaire (”The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reasoning“). Or Bertrand Russell (”The Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world“)….
Unfortunately, I’m no Bertrand Russell…. For one thing, Russell was an energetic anti-religious propagandist, while I have a low opinion of God and my fans are confined to my blog entries. With that day, I achieved what I wanted. The after effects of the day are still something I’d have to wait for.
As I walk into a room full of people, I want everyone to know that my mind is not in sync with their belief system. Once you come OUT, you’ll feel liberated, and your example will encourage others to COME OUT too. I’m not like your average blogger, who blogs his fantasies and lives a totally different life. I write what I did and what I will do. I put my words into motion in real life because the last few years taught me that Action is indeed louder that words.

Well, here it is. I’ve waited a whole two months for this day. Its an LG X-note Lappy, which isn’t exactly what I had in mind but atleast it will let me be with my friends and readers again. The configuration is pretty weak, with a RAM of just 256MB & graphics of 128MB. I just got it today and since my broadband connection hasn’t been approved yet, I’m using an EDGE data line through a Nokia N73. I’m gonna get a new Wi-Fi router and plug into a broadband connection by next week.

I ended my last blog entry saying “I’ll be back when life gets some crackers going on“; well, October has just ended & I have just that!! No, I’m not talking about the Divali festival. I’m talking about the Quanta07.
Yup! CounterStrike1.6! A team of five (me included) lead by my friend “DoHax” as we call him, from our department participated in the Quanta07 Gaming showdown at a place near our college and I’m glad to inform you all that we have advanced to Stage II, which will be held tomorrow. We were leading by SEVEN to ZERO. The terrorists didn’t Read the rest of this entry »
