Creativity

Well, I have a bunch of pretty creative friends and where else do you see the creativity apart from Gtalk status messages and Twitter updates...

Last week when Sachin Tendulkar was busy scoring runs for his amazing knock of 200*, people were busy putting up some really creative status messages...

Check out a few of them

Ankit Govil: GAWWWDDD

Rajesh Bhasin: God's last name is not Dammit !.... looks like its Tendulkar

Nimit Mehra: God is sachin not the other way round!

RT @vvkchandra: God wanted to play cricket. Sachin was born!!!

Kartik Chaturvedi: In real.....terms only god can bat better than the maestro himself....!
 
Kazi: Sachin -> The Rajnikanth of the modern world. There is nothing he cant do

Abhay Murarka: Rajnikanth is the sachin of film industry, not the other way round - a friend

Abhay Murarka RT: @virajturakhia: RT @VascoZ Sachin Tendulkar - Reducing the number of atheists in India since 1989


VishrutShukla : A spl award shld be given to Amla for saving Dhoni's boundary in the 49th ovr. W/o Amla we wld hav had a 199* and a dead captain ;)

Pranav Jawale RT @delhidreams: Boss to me: "it is perfectly acceptable that u watched d last 15 overs. now please get back to work."

Abhinav Pophali took a break from office to witness the miracle!!

Kushal Agarwal: Moksha mil gaya aaj :) Sachinnnn :')

About Sachin, I need not say anything. Period.

The first time...

Most people know that Nimit blogs at huntersuniverse, however I just stumbled on another of Nimit's blog (which he started writing during the psenti sem) and had a gr8 time reading about the post which describes his first meetings with some of the people who became his close friends...

I am including some interesting portion of the post.

Purnoor
" There i spotted a tall lanky Sardar standing. To me seeing a sardar that time in BITS was like finding an oasis in a desert. So i tried to make small talk. I asked where was he from ? Instead of an answer i was asked a question in return ….. “Guess where?” . So I thought a sardar how tough can it be … Punjab… no … Delhi … No … Mumbai … No …. now i gave up. The answer was Kerela and I thought to myself … ” Ek sardar mila aur vo bhi illad”. Sometime into the conversation some asked me my room number, on replying AH4 364 …. the Sardar gave me a wierd look and after a second said ….” oye me in Ah4 363… we are neighbours” ….. And thats how I met Purnoor Singh Sodhi."

Boxer
" So one day Gill calls me up and asks me Vasco chalega. I reply “ok khaane chalta hu “. He was accompanied by an imposing figure. The kind of materials which bullies are made of. Some one you better be in good books of. He introduced himself ” Hi I am Shashank Tandon ” ” Or Boxer” said Gill. Later I came to know about this shrek. The guy just looks imposing he wouldn’t even have hurt an ant till now."

Maddy and Puneet
" One day a person comes to my room and asks ” Hey today is my birthday … will you come and dance” ( yea thats what he said!) So i went to the birthday party of a person whom i hardly knew. Later that room would be the room where some debates would happen which would go on till 4 in the morning … Room of Mohammed kheezer Hayat. In the same party i met a sleepy drousy fellow who i thought i definitely on weed – Puneet Gupta."

Vishrut
" Seeing a lamp light on opposite from my window and me cursing that guy for giving me a scare and after 2 months coming to know he was Vishrut. "

Rao
" I remeber hearing about an IIT ranker aamir khan look alike who used to solve every problem in thermo book , who in his first meeting lent me his LOTR and thus met Rao for the first time."


The credits for the post to one and only Nimit aka Nimmo.

ST@ST: The PS Still Continues...

Somanchi has now become the joke supplier to the BITS_Trainees@ST... He got a little busy a few days back and was not sending any jokes. This resulted in decreased efficiency of our work. Mails flew around requesting Somanchi to send jokes and on a day when he was absent, here is a mail send by Mayank in sheer desperation ( inspired by 24)...

" Subject: RE:

Every Body This is Special Agent Jack Bauer.... It's a CODE RED ::: Put out an APB on SHASHANK SOMANCHI effective immediately...suspect is highly trained and heavily armed with jokes..Zero in on the suspect using laughing protection and extreme caution..USE NON-LETHAL FORCE suspect is to be taken into custody and ordered to release his 'biological weapon of mass construction' - his PJs into the ST Trainee List ASAP failing which he should be neutralized covertly. Consider all ST security personnel at your service. Redards, Agent Bauer(Mr. Anderson/Mayank Kr. Singh), Special Agent,Ex-CTU currently a trainee,STM.
"

Well PS still continues, and has such moments too...but it has become too drag now...maybe it has to do with the fact that its nearly 4 months now or the fact that we have been asked to start working on the final reports now.

Also another observation: My bus driver (see earlier posts tagged PS to know more about him) is similar to Michael Schumacher. Both of them love the rain to drive. Recently when there were rains in Delhi, and every vehicle was driving slow, our bus fellow got us home in record time, faster than any of the dry (as in not rainy :P) days..

Also had a gr8 start to the week..thanks to the news that Nimit, Meet, Lalit, and Prateek have got into BHEL in the second innings of BHEL Placement. Congrats to everyone who has made it…

Relatively Happy...

Well I am happy today...OK relatively happier than I was a few days ago...

WHY??


Well there are a some reasons...

-Nimmo aka Nimit got a pre-placement offer at Precision tech, his PS 2 at Gurgaon...

-Adi and Pandey were supposed to leave campus on 8th, and I couldn't get myself to fact the reality that the fairytale three years that we spent together are now coming to an end, and I had to go,sit in his room and watch Pandey pack to let this realization sink in...but they decided at the last moment (read 8th morning i.e. about 8 hours before their train left) to stay back till 12th to enjoy with all of us(YoYO)...and so we are planning to go out and visit beaches for the last time now...

-Went out to Bogmalo yesterday, sat on the beach, dunno just watching the waves crashing onto the beach had a very calming effect ( in fact in the first year, we had planned to just go and sit on the beach after every few days...but thanks to the TOUGH BITS academic commitments, kabhi ho hi nahi paaya...) and yesterday sitting there, I realized that soon all of us would be busy in our own schedule, we may not all be at the same places, have commitments ( read girl friends etc...) and may not even have time to meet each other...and that is how friends drift apart...hoping this never happens to us...

-I am so vella for some days now( why??- next point) and I have no idea about what to do...net, dc, movie...sab se boriyat ho gayi hai yaar...and before you think that this guy hasn't even blogged once and says he is bored.. I wrote a few drafts, but couldn't complete even one of them..

-I finished 2 out of my 3 exams ( on 4th), the last exams of my life..and my next exam is on 13th...that's still a long distance away....
and after that long distance- I will nearly be an engineer...have to go for PS2 next sem , but BITS waale PS de hi nahi hai yaar...

Also this happens to be my 49th post...so a special half century post coming up :)
