end of an era

well, as expected, the end of an era dawns the beginning of a new one. my first ever term as a student in the US ended and i had a whole 24 hours to celebrate the vacation. Yes i had a whole sunday for a vacation between two terms.

i started with a splendid game of squash with an oversized squash court with bigger boundaries, which can make any novice play like Jahangir Khan. wasn't too much fun. all it gave me was body ache and it was thorough in doing so. i have a pain in every part of my body, well almost everypart (i dont have a headache, stop imagining perversions)

saw oceans twelve with my gurl, till the time it got boring, i guess all remakes suck, with a few exception.

had to wait on the bus stop on my way home for ever i guess, after some 90 minutes wait, i finally got a bus at 11:45 in the night. it was fun trying to keep up my body heat by walking up and down in a very soar body. i guess we all deserve what we get.

the next term is starting today, and all i can think is when is my loan gonna come, when do i have to work, how much to pay for CPA, when to do it. well i know i came with a purpose and even though its not a total financial embarassment, its a little hardship and i know everyone is doing all that they can to help me. I know i will get past this and once i am very very rich (hopefully very very soon) i will laugh at this, even if i dont laugh, may be just smile :)

I guess life at this point is like a game of poker, u put in money bet higher or just match the surroudings thinking you have a pair of aces, but when the flop, the turn and the rivers come out, you hope they dont give anyone else a stratight flush. we expect we get 2 aces on the flop and take everything. But unfortunately that does not happen all the time.

well, i guess if i win a lottery i might be very very stable, but what are the chances of that happening :). but that doesn't put me down and get me down either. if someone won a 205 million dollar lottery with just one ticket, i guess anything is possible.

i will be here to update my arduous task ahead and i hope u will be there to read it, whats the point otherwise :)

all this melancholy has made me hungry.

i gotta go eat now, probably a big piece of gainful side of life :)

vathsa
who else!

just another SAKI sunrise

yup,
alchohol kills you slowly, but i am not in a hurry anyway!

on the eve of 2 waiver exams, i am set out to explore the hedonic side of the city that never sleeps. Started off great with a good walk to the subway. with very minimal efforts. reached the tibetian restaurant called "TSAMPA". where the rage, was introduced (again) to the japanese rice wine or Saki. I guess this is the only alchoholic drink that is served hot. well, the introduction did not end at this point, i learnt the art of patience, well thats what you get when you are trying to eat delicious food with chopsticks and i am not used to chopsticks. after much deliberation and concentrated efforts i made it easy on myself and asked for fork :).
but it was fun trying, i am a natural i guess, well some kinda natural.

with a heavy course of tofu and spicy noodles and probably some parts of the chopstick, we embarked on our next journey to a place called "Qua". Turns out this is a club and not a lounge, well, as long as theres alchohol in my body and spirit in my mind (like always) i am game for almost anything. after another couple of rounds of my good frined Jack (Daniels that is) we hung around the center stage. which was more beatified (not beautified) with a couple of half dressed (as opposed to naked) gurls. unfortunately i found neither one very attractive. i was more than pleased with my pretty girl friend by my side. i guess boys will be boys.

when we hit the sack it was almost dawn.

and more importantly when i woke up it was too late in the afternoon to prepare from scratch for 2 subjects, when one of those subjects is calculus, yes, calculus in business school, but as i said i am writing a waiver, so i dont have to sit thru the classes.

now that the time for the exam is up, i guess and more importantly i hope that it went well.

its time to do my fav. thing, to eat now :)

i guess i should part with all my readers with something i learnt today
well, its a word
so try this on for size

a convivial atmosphere at the reunion (of vathsa with music)

ciao

me and my gurl 

contemplating

well, my gurl got a good bonus, as happy as i was i guess, i was not the best expresser of my happiness. which makes me wanna wonder, why was the mood so melancholic???
i have like everything i need right now, i got my finances worked out, i get to see my gurl every day, my exams and presentations are going good, people back at home are doing good.
whats wrong with me today, i am still contemplating :)

yeah, a series of events have happened.
my gurl gifted me with a black silvertone guitar with amps and zoom for effects, its awesome, but for some reason, all i can play is smoke on the water riff. well, i do play the riff for crazy train, but all u hear is the crazy part, and the train seems to have departed long time ago.

why is it that when i have something i still feel bad. is it just because i am only human.
but vathsa always defied the nature and the whole un-uniqueness, what is happening to the clan of the rage, if the first ever warrior is succumbed to the abysmal pits of non reason and purpose.

but i guess i should be ok by morning, all i need is a bottle of beer and things wud be snapping back faster than one can say blitzkrieg. LOL

i feel this little twitch in my left eye, believed to be a bad luck symbol in my country, but it is equally compensated by the ever irritating twitch in my right eye as well, so does this mean i am going to get the net effect of each or each individually and more importantly, will there be any taxes.

well, as Groucho marx said, i will not be a member of a club that will take me as a member. i guess i will not have a fan who will want me as an idol.

parting comments:
"waiting for a change of season, all the winters been so long
searching for a rhyme or reason,i just have to move on"

vathsa
who else!

a day to reckon

well, y'day i was having fun with the chronicles or riddic and shots of tequila with my lovely girl friend and my other friends, when the sudden surge of reality hit me as blitzkrieg, "there are 2 papers due in the morning by 9", well i thought, it still has about 7 hours, but my tipsy factor made me forget that i had to sleep too. Hurried back to the borrowed notebook and over exited topics of sarbanes oxley made me come back to life with a jolt. finally did manage to enjoy the movie, the tequila and also the homeworks.

its funny when u say i got a school to attend and homework to complete, when u r 25 years old, well, in my defence i can say that i had forgotten to be the student i used to be. after i turned a CPA by the age of 22, life was a little fun ride with over charged credit cards and all the strategies to repay them, and a car which had to be sold for my MBA purpose, a family i had to leave for travel and a dream i had to pursue.

as iron maiden would want to say, "many years ago that I left home and came this wayI was a young man, full of hope and dreamsBut now it seems to me that all is lost andnothing gainedSometimes things ain't what they seemNo brave new world"
since i am not hoping for the worst, i guess there are no prayers for the dying :)
