gre with indian masala
GRE Graduate Record Examination.
it is a very well known examination ,known to be taken by scores of students who wish to pursue their education in the united states and places where they are recognised.
this test is conducted by a body in the u.s. known as ets,which thorougly believes to test your grasp on the english language.
the english is considered to be a hurdle by the students from non english speaking nations.but atleast for india...well i guess it is not the case,no sir.eee!!!
here is how....
the orthodox traditions of teaching in indian schools dramatically comprises of mugging,which unfortunately is being followed even today.
the english section has a good deal of synonyms,filling gaps etc .
and we have a bunch of publications listing out the most asked gre words and seemingly so that each publication has a different list :P,with very few similarities.
so using the mugging power ,we indians ,who have mastered this craft(from years of unrelenting practice), mug every nook and cranny of the publications and spew it on the exam,though only a lucky few or the deserving manage to get a respectable score in the english section.
and mind you,these words never mange to creep into the vocabulary ,so what we see here is an approach not different to the regular school exams,mug spew delete,though the very motive behind it (i guess),is to get a firmer grip over english.....
anyway.....monkey see monkey do!nothing can evade the indian mentality!
if there isnt a way....sooner or later you will find one,whether you may like it or not!
k00l d00ds those indians! ;)

education,do we really need it?
well..... we all know since our primary classes,that education is a must for a successful life.
we all toil a lot for that piece of paper which reads out your qualifications and if it comes from a reputed institute ,that adds the icing on the cake!
using this piece of certificate ,we scutter around for jobs and we eventually get one.then again toiling for till late hours we get our pay checks which turn out to be heavy.
sweet.rosy.
but surely there must be this other side of the spectrum,where things arent so rosy . the indian republic boasts of voluminous such cases.people who barely manage to get 1 sqaure meal a day are very common to find.
but also amongst this squalor you will certainly find a group that is famous for some road side business....

this fellow earlier had a stall in front of the college and college easily translates as a mint for the larri walas.and yea he did earn hell lot,before he shifted to another place,though it earns the same revenue.this guy uses amul gold ,which happens to have the highest fat content and also the costliest.

name of enterprise: gulab corner
owner: N/A
description:
the origin for me atleast is unknown but as the board read out;it said it was famous.i dunno what the real deal is with this guy.i had accompanied my friend for a round of golas.and the thing was that this guy was selling it in a cup with ice and syrup and some real fruits.four of us ordered it and the bill came to 140 bucks!dig that. the cost price according to my 7th standard math says should be around 10 bucks for the four cups,if not less!
now lets calculate the profit : 130 bucks .that is way way more!!!
as i pointed out from the above examples,the above entrepreneurs didnt have any formal education,no certificates ,no nothing,yet they turned out pretty well,dont you think.
looking at such instances it often makes me ponder ,why go through all the ordeal of appearing for exams ,undergo the tension of anticipation and then if lucky manage to pull through,whereas these fine people have seemed to be comfortable without this ordeal,no wonder they would have had to slog initially!
and with outside food getting popular i guess they are going to stay!i laugh sometimes at the situation sometimes,that though qualified there are people who slog it out whereas there is an all together a different clan of paragons who have etched themselves ,kissed fame and earned money with the same slogging or more!
what would you call it?luck?

grad! a friggin grad
well graduates i are!
>:)
hehe...may 9th was one of the memorable days ,cause that was when i graduated!This 9 letter word is very much revered by the engineering community,cause thats the day when you are free(although professors think otherwise,they say the tough part begins now,well they got some attitude! )
this day was planned way before in the past,say four to be exact.yet at the ceremony the principal says ,he is unable to do say(thats what i heard)in such a short period of time.for your kind information ours is a state university in the records of aicte and perhaps its just in the records.cause the vice chancellor could hardly pronounce english plausibly from the matter that was handed to him,though he has been awarded a Ph.D (wonder ,wonder) and with a canadian college tie up we never heard of!
almost all of the day was spent in taking snaps of each other and assurances that they would remain in touch with each other.we were given the graduates gown(dunno the exact name!) and they didnt live up to our expectations;maybe because they were crumpled,we had to pay for renting it,and we didnt have that funky hat kinda thing with the string glued to its centre,which is usually flinged in the air as a sign that we are grads!will miss that!
i guess it was more of a formality rather than a real effort!
we then were given feedback forms(yes,they didnt relieve us from the mundane task of form filling even in the last moment as though it mattered much! and yea they wouldnt give degress until we filled those forms)they asked to grade the college and for sure the grades wouldnt have gone higher than C (with D be the lowest) except for the nerds (:-B .
well now i am a free man,joining the unemployed force of the nation,waiting the government to chalk some plan for us people... ;)..hehee
till then i am going to attend something that long been put on the back seat!
pz out!
and yea..me got a photo with me wearing a gold medal :raising brows: ^_^

sleep,slumber!
well thats one of the favourite hobby in the world and many puritans following it sacrilegiously.
so how many times have you been disturbed from your subconscious state?
for me ,its as long as i can remember.
i have been struggling to get my fair share of sleep for the past 6 months!!!hmpf.....
top reasons you can get disturbed from your beauty sleep and they actually happened to me! :
#1 A galloping horse ,yea its true
#2 EarthQuake
#3 Door Bell
#4 Water Delievery Guy(thats door bell again)
#5 Phone Call
#6 Phone Call in vibrator mode.
#7 Tank Overflow!
#8 Ghosts(yea my house is haunted)
#9 Courier fellows 7 in the morning
#10 Band(Gujju band,that plays garba songs,with just a keyboard,mic, and 2 drums,crummy amplifier,god forsaken voice of the female singer)
#7 has an incident related to it.My folks were out of station ,at my cousins,so one night i thought of sleeping at my friends place.The tank overflowed and the gushing water could be heard by the neighbours.They called up my other neighbours.My neighbours called up my folks way down in south.My folks call me up and say,"Hey buddy ,the tanks overflowing better get there fast ."This happened 0640 in the morning!!
enough of chit chat....am off to bed ,hopefully the long awaited sleep!

back with a bang(again)
as mundane and xeroxed the title may sound ,its true!no really!
well ,i am must admit ,i havent done any justice to blogging.starting it and desolating it,literally then again starting it and then quitting it.well now there is a surge again to blog and hopefully should persist :D.
orkut seems to be the buzz word lately.a lot of people pouring in and getting in touch with their long lost friends and then feeling happy about it and then really doing nothing.
its an absolute way to pass your time,productively or unproductively is for you to decide.
it seems to be a nice medium to exchange thoughts ,but i do always feel a bit skeptical about it.i dunno the reason ,but i do.
for those unaware i got myself a new guitar,yea its an ibanez and purrs like a cat and roars like a lion.did i mention an ipod nano?
they are with me for quite sometime now.
blogging too wasnt left out from this mad schizophernia.
i dunno what the next wave would be.
well on this note.....i hope for yet another beginning in blogging!
too da loo

quotes
hihiihihihihi....
once in a while,which comes by too often,i get some free time,and during one such occasion,i googled for the simpsons.(for those who do not know who/what/where the simpsons are,they might as well stop reading from here on and get a life!)
coming back,and i stumbled upon a treasure trove of simpson quotes,few of which i am going to list down here and mind you they are damn good ;).
Homer: Marge? Since I'm not talking to Lisa, would you please ask her to pass me the syrup?
Marge: Dear, please pass your father the syrup, Lisa.
Lisa: Bart, tell Dad I will only pass the syrup if it won't be used on any meat product.
Bart: You dunkin' your sausages in that syrup homeboy?
Homer: Marge, tell Bart I just want to drink a nice glass of syrup like I do every morning.
Marge: Tell him yourself, you're ignoring Lisa, not Bart.
Homer: Bart, thank your mother for pointing that out.
Marge: Homer, you're not not-talking to me and secondly I heard what you said.
Homer: Lisa, tell your mother to get off my case.
Bart: Uhhh, dad, Lisa's the one you're not talking to.
Homer: Bart, go to your room.
Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
Marge: Homer, the plant called. They said if you don't show up tomorrow don't bother showing up on Monday.
Homer: Woo-hoo. Four-day weekend.
Homer: I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.
Marge: This is the worst thing you've ever done.
Homer: You say that so often that it lost its meaning.
Homer: Got any of that beer that has candy floating in it? You know, Skittlebrau?
Apu: Such a beer does not exist, sir. I think you must have dreamed it.
Homer: Oh. Well, then just give me a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles.
Carl: Oh no! Homer's going over those falls!
Lenny: Oh good! He snagged that tree branch.
Carl: Oh no! The branch broke off!
Lenny: Oh good! He can grab onto them pointy rocks!
Carl: Oh no! Them pointy rocks broke his arms and legs.
Lenny: Oh good! Those helpful beavers are swimming out to save him!
Carl: Oh no! They're biting him, and stealing his pants!
Kent Brockman: ... and the fluffy kitten played with that ball of string all through the night. On a lighter note, a Kwik-E-Mart clerk was brutally murdered last night.
Trent: [walking up] The man knows what he likes.
Homer: Just taking care of business.
Trent: If you don't, who will, huh? Trent Steele.
Homer: Homer Si ... uh, Max Power.
Trent: Oh, hey! Great name!
Homer: Yeah, isn't it? I got it off a hair dryer.
Trent: [laughs] I like a man who can poke fun at himself. [looks at his watch] Ooh, hey, my one o'clock cancelled. Eh, you had any lunch?
Homer: Yeah, but I usually have three or four.
Trent: So where to eat? You like Thai?
Homer: Tie good. You like shirt?
Chief Wiggum: Uh, no, you got the wrong number. This is 9-1... 2.
Homer: When I held that gun in my hand, I felt a surge of power ... like God must feel when he's holding a gun.
Chief Wiggum: Sideshow Bob has no decency. He called me Chief Piggum. (laughs) Oh wait, I get it, he's all right.
Bart: What's Santa's Little Helper doing to that dog? Looks like he's trying to jump over, but he can't quite make it.

Moe: I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.
Grandpa: Dear Mr. President, There are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three.
P.S. I am not a crackpot.

Marge: Homer, the plant called. They said if you don't show up tomorrow don't bother showing up on Monday.
Homer: Woo-hoo. Four-day weekend.
Homer: I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.
Marge: This is the worst thing you've ever done.
Homer: You say that so often that it lost its meaning.
Moe: I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.
Grandpa: Dear Mr. President, There are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three.
P.S. I am not a crackpot.
Homer: Got any of that beer that has candy floating in it? You know, Skittlebrau?
Apu: Such a beer does not exist, sir. I think you must have dreamed it.
Homer: Oh. Well, then just give me a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles.
Carl: Oh no! Homer's going over those falls!
Lenny: Oh good! He snagged that tree branch.
Carl: Oh no! The branch broke off!
Lenny: Oh good! He can grab onto them pointy rocks!
Carl: Oh no! Them pointy rocks broke his arms and legs.
Lenny: Oh good! Those helpful beavers are swimming out to save him!
Carl: Oh no! They're biting him, and stealing his pants!
Kent Brockman: ... and the fluffy kitten played with that ball of string all through the night. On a lighter note, a Kwik-E-Mart clerk was brutally murdered last night.
Trent: [walking up] The man knows what he likes.
Homer: Just taking care of business.
Trent: If you don't, who will, huh? Trent Steele.
Homer: Homer Si ... uh, Max Power.
Trent: Oh, hey! Great name!
Homer: Yeah, isn't it? I got it off a hair dryer.
Trent: [laughs] I like a man who can poke fun at himself. [looks at his watch] Ooh, hey, my one o'clock cancelled. Eh, you had any lunch?
Homer: Yeah, but I usually have three or four.
Trent: So where to eat? You like Thai?
Homer: Tie good. You like shirt?
Chief Wiggum: Uh, no, you got the wrong number. This is 9-1... 2.
Homer: When I held that gun in my hand, I felt a surge of power ... like God must feel when he's holding a gun.
Chief Wiggum: Sideshow Bob has no decency. He called me Chief Piggum. (laughs) Oh wait, I get it, he's all right.
Bart: What's Santa's Little Helper doing to that dog? Looks like he's trying to jump over, but he can't quite make it.

but i hope to make it up to you,by blogging quite regularly.
first things first...
i got an ipod nano,thank you very much!
and i spoiled the earphones.but after a general survey it wasnt tough to conclude that graph ofthe ability of the apple speakers to do its job -> time was very small.
four days and bzzzzkkkk went my earphones..hopefully they will get replaced.
other things on my menu in the near future will be,an electronic guitar.mostly a yamaha pacifica.the reviews are great ,lets hope it fits my bill!
getting an ipod ,fills the void in my office hours.music and music for 10 hours straight,what else a man could hope for?(this was a statement ,and not a question)
anyways....

waau waau waauuuuuuuuu
yesterday at iim a was the performance of strings and jal.
considering it was my first visit,i was excited to see them perform.
firstly a couple of my friends couldnt manage to get hold of the passes.so a friend and myself jumped from various outlets that sold the passes only to find out that they were sold out.even at iim.
this happened for about 45 mins and then we call up a guy at iim (no. was available freely) and he said passes are available,we rush to that place on a scooty ,with no horn or brakes.twas fun.
we finally manage to get the passes.and join my school friends.
jal started first with the song that made them famous -woh lamhe.and trust me ,they sucked.i wasnt the only one saying this.
the voice sucked,but the instruments were at par.they were doing a nice job.but somewhere they lacked professionalism.they couldnt manage to woo the crowd.and they had a weird accent with grammatically wrong english spoken,but with the crowd he was looking at,rest assured he wasnt going to be sneered at for his english!
then in came strings.my, my what a voice.perfectness everywhere.their guitarist /drummer/bassist were fantabulous.
he managed to play the psychedelic style of pink flyod with amazing grace.even the jal guitarist tried it but didnt reach that mark.
strings managed to woo the crowd with ease,firstly because of his numbers and secondly because he involved the crowd to sing.
now thats a perfect combination.
all in all a totally awesome performance!

that 70s spyrit
our routine starts from disembarking the bus at income tax and then boarding a rickshaw to home.
so one fine evening we ask the driver if he is interested ,to which he agreed and when be boarded the rickshaw.....my my...what a place he had got there!
speakers - "neighbour's envy ,owner's pride" ,this anecdote gets its true meaning from here.
then there was this circular tube emitting blue colour and another one in the back.
the drivers area was stuffed with artificial flowers and stuff....looked nice though.he had carpeted the floor. and had seat covers as well.
now comes driver.well he has left no efforts on the vanity affair(for himself !)
this guy would be in the middle 40s or something,but hamare raja looks like the re-incarnation of dev anand himself.
dyed jet black hair,colourful shirt(literally) and neat shave and hair !
man watching him almost made us laugh.
but one thing is for sure...that guy had spirit.
once we reached my house,he said,"yahaan mein 15 minute pehle aaya tha".
talk about deja vu.
ciao..

rigged
come 2nd/4th saturday and its reporting season!
for the last couple of weeks,there has been a sudden rise in job interviews,through an outside consultant.the h.o.d has done a mark of a job i bringing companies to the campus.
yet my college lacks the sheen in the placement cell,they sincerely dont have an idea on what they are dealing with!
so today was one of those job interview days.our placement cell comes to know about it yesterday and we get to know about it today.
i rush to the place where the eligible candidate list was put up only to find that my name was no where on the list,though i was satisfying the criteria.i rushed to the p.c.(placement cell) and told him about this,to which he said ,call this guy up.i do it ,only to get a reply that he couldnt do anything ,the matter wasnt in his hands.i was like what the hell?
i talked with the p.c. sir again and he called up (using my friends cell phone!?!?) and says do it!and viola it gets done.
few hurdles arise but none too high to clear.
we rush up to the place at 1645 and the test started at 1735 and we were supposed to report at 1630.
now for the results!
of the 550 students appearing only 17 get selected ,15/16 of which are from the same college!
rigged?
ummm.....who cares!i know i dont!consoling my friend ,we went roaming around in the city. :D
a similar rig scenario occured last week.tell you what,since the results are kinda fabricated,what's the point in going through all the work of getting the hall ticket and rushing to the place and what not!
well there is nothing you or me can do about it!

irrationality of the human mind!!!!!!!
well
must admit,i have become a bit lethargic in blogging!
so here goes an another endeavour to blog regularly.
i sincerely dont know ,how people think and what baffles me more is the things they think on!
my roomie ,who had secured in the same corporate house as me,was staying at my place,i offered him.
everything goes fine and then one fine day he says,'dude i 'm shifting!'
i am flabbergasted!and i say,"are you out of your mind?why do you want to shift,when you have a house here?"
still the reply was acceptable.he was suffering from a moral guilt of some sort,beats me though!
i tried to convince him,"dude,you are going to place ,where you have to pay for your food,no tv,where you have to pay for living in the house,whereas you get all that stuff here for free".money though wasnt my criteria but always makes a point.
and he again shyly responds with a very illogical reason and i shower profanities of him,cause he got was coming to him!
in this one month,i had accepted him as a family member and now he comes to me with this irrational behaviour.totally knocks you on the ground!!!
lets see if he really moves out tomorrow.
i just told him one thing:
if i know how to be a friend,i also know how to be otherwise!
amen
i am totally upset with the events today!
good night!

the revolt of 1857....
well i know the title appeals the patriotism in any indian,but do they really know the real deal about it?
for that matter even i didnt know about it until a movie was made on it and then later on an article was published which shed light on this matter.
the movie was none other than the, then much awaited "mangal pandey".
the movie again tried to stir up the emotions or must i say sentiments by poking on the indian peoples hearts by showing something british.well they succeeded once,but not the second time.
this was an explanation given by the newspapers and you must admit they make a very valid point....
ok let me take back to an india where it was severely distributed into princely states,when there wasnt one nation.states battling against each other for supremacy.this is how the britishers managed to rule india.
this meant two things.
1.There was no India as a nation.
2.There was no patriotism for India as it didnt exist.
so who were all these magal pandeys....?
the newspapers termed them as mercenaries.
pretty obvious dont you think?
since there wasnt a nation,whom were they loyal to?
the highest bidder.
hehe....so they were just plain mercinaries who just happened to be at the right place at the right time only to get shot and get an instant ticket to fame and stardom.
might sound harsh,but makes a very valid point.
are we just worshipping a mercenary or a true patriot of India?

3rd day on the job (read:internship :D)
so our internship has begun.
just the third day and you could say it spells fun.working under deadlines,given certain responsibility,seems so exciting,for now atleast,as we havent yet assigned anything.
our first day we were asked to read the details about the project and then since they dont like working on weekends,said,"come back on monday,then we shall have work for you! ):-]"
the facilities given to us are unlimited coffee/tea,subsidised food,which i think is good(taste wise),rest of them ,i havent found out yet.
plus you get to strut around with those plastic cards,which reads out "Associate",makes you feel like an important person ;),kinda like thedyood,tcs :D
well all in all,it is exciting.
coffee breaks will be a much more frequent event now ;).may be now i will understand the real deal behind "coffee breaks/water breaks" working in a corporate house.

tales of the barberland
dec 6th,2005
well ....argh....i must admit ...lethargy has empowered me.....took me three days to muster up the strength to write this.
i guess this is going to change....after having secured internship at a corporate house.....the life i am leading now ,would be a mere fancy.
exams rocked! dunno why ,but they went nice this time around.
i think i have to tread very softly this semester ,with the prying eyes of the big boss on me and my friend.
one of the few amusing anecdotes i have heard in few days was on seinfeld.....
went something like this : men are obsessed with clevages as women are with shoes.
i took a survery totalling one individual and turns out seinfeld was good at observations!
this one happened to me in the barber shop.though my hair was decently medium size(for others hardly any) ,to kill time i walk to a barber shop.
now this guy makes full use of his shop..... to get a sneak peek at the girls passing by! what were you thinking ?
i was worrying ,because of his distraction ,he wouldnt mess up with my hair.fortunately his scissors were resting.
after that,one of his chums drops by.they begin a conversation.
funny how people use different techniques to identify people.
my barber friend here was asking his pal.....do you know that guy?
his friend says ,"yea that splendour fellow".
barber says ,"no he has an activa",
friend,"oh ,must have changed the vehicle",
barber goes,"heh,you dont know that guy ..... ok tell me ,what is his hair style?"
i stumbled after hearing this....
i aint gonna go there again.... he asked me at the start "saheb,kaisi cut karvani hai?" ,to which i reply,"thode chhote kar dena...aur kuch nahi" and replied "ji saheb".
but that wasnt the end of his questions.....dozen followed....and i couldnt get his tongue ....and thats when i decided i had enough of his antics...he was a total nutcase! throughout my session he was continuously jabbering on and on.......
i dont have thing more to scribble so....i will get back to you asap,dont try to call me ,i will call you ;)

hallelujah
phew....
home at last.
and with some splendid news that made my cheek muscles go overtime,by laughing ,grinning,your synonym for happiness here ! :)
the reason? well FYI today was the last theoritical exam of my engineering degree(bachelors!).and i am glad i am done with it.
throughout my 7 semesters i have given about umm...some maths invovled here ...... scribble....scribble....scribble....erase...erase....verify with calculator ...... blink ...blink..... tada...the answer is 179 with 6 more to go(vivas).
quite a big sum huh!
this exam however things were different.i usually didnt have the crave to study and this time around surprisingly neither did my roomies.
pure fun!
6 people focusing on just one subject a day,the course was bound to get completed in the given constraint of time .but we couldnt! though we did manage to complete an appreciable portion of course ,dedicating about 8 hours to sleep :D
todays exam was ,in my view a bit complicated ,as in,strenuous!we as usual didnt complete the course :D but the catch was 2 of my roomies were worried about failing in this paper.
yup there you have it,life was never so easy! they learnt and taught,atleast one of them did(taught)!
so all in all ,exams were never this fun! (not cause we wanted to give exams,you rash concluders)
and to top it off,i secured my internship at a reputed company and along with a huge chunk of my collegemates.its going to be a mini-college there!
so that gypsy was right,the planet did finally manage to find its way out to the right place!
good times are here people....truly good times!
so lemme bask in its warm glow and splendour ....ahhh...
cheerio

word power made easy?
many people ,for instance at my college, especially after entering the 7th semester have this craving to improve their english(nothing wrong there),but it almost seems as if it is natural,as though they are ticked by some biological clock,like the salmon migrating to the artic.
you really get amused when you find a tongue blurting out weird english words,which 6 months earlier couldnt speak plausible english(with all due respect).
for such ardent/zealous(to the above group:are the words sophisticated enough?you would see ten synonyms penned down by their hands in a jiff,if not and your only expression would be a gasp characterized by a huge 'HUH?'), bunch of people here is a challenge to tickle their memory and their new found ability to pronounce weird words.
i was searching the web as i had nothing to kill time with,so here is what i ended up with:words,words that will make you go,"where in the world did that come from?is that even a word?"
here are some of them:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ->fantastic idea
antidisestablishmentarianism->opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England(this one happens to be the most famous one of the lot)
floccinaucinihilipilification->dont even want to know about it
honorificabilitudinitatibus
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis->lung disease caused by something(what were they thinking ,while naming it,the poor patient!)
ok a bumper :
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch .
guess what? its a name of a village in Wales.
and if you were afraid of these words or words of such category ,you would suffer from :
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia ->fear of long words
spell them out and once you make it out alive, i guess saying out ,"she sells sea shells on the sea shore ",would be a cake walk.
ok.....i guess this was a boring blog....but just wanted to type something
cheerio
too many freaks ,too little circuses!

gypsy queen
alright..... you know gypsies....yea the clan which enjoys the most number of myths assosicated with it.
and one of the very famous ones is their innate ability to predict the future! ;)
so i come across one such lady,with the facial features of a typical gypsy crooked nose,with a zit on it,scarf around her hair,circular earrings on her ears (where else!)etc...
she had a setup of a table with a "magic crystal ball" .so i go in to get my future read.
the crystal ball started showing its stuff as the gypsy started moving her hands above it.
she said ,"you are in luck,your career will improve from october 26th".
i said ,"what?"
she said,"your career will improve from october 26th".
i said,"huh ", o_O
she asserted,"your career prospects will improve from october 26th as some planet ,name forgotten is coming to some place/position and thats why you are in luck."
i asked ,"are you certain about it ?"
to which she gave a look as though i had committed a blasphemy and said,"the crystal ball is never wrong,dont challenge its word!"
happy and gay ;) (you bunch of perverts! ) ,i pay the gypsy the fee and usher myself out ,thinking ,"lets see,what is in store for me"
todays date is nov 12th.
i am expecting news from two companies since a week,no progress there.
i got rejected in the aptitude test of a company.(hey i aint judging you! :P)
good career prospects my @r$e! ;)
i dont see anything good happing here.
seems like that dim witted planet has taken up a wrong road and reached somewhere else or way too lazy move its behind to that place ,though it might be right in front of it(too much junk in the trunk ,i guess)
lousy planet! $@!@^$%^#$%$#@%#$
lousy drunken gypsy!
moral of the story: trust a candy from a stranger,never trust a prediction from a gypsy. ^_^

and one of the very famous ones is their innate ability to predict the future! ;)
so i come across one such lady,with the facial features of a typical gypsy crooked nose,with a zit on it,scarf around her hair,circular earrings on her ears (where else!)etc...
she had a setup of a table with a "magic crystal ball" .so i go in to get my future read.
the crystal ball started showing its stuff as the gypsy started moving her hands above it.
she said ,"you are in luck,your career will improve from october 26th".
i said ,"what?"
she said,"your career will improve from october 26th".
i said,"huh ", o_O
she asserted,"your career prospects will improve from october 26th as some planet ,name forgotten
i asked ,"are you certain about it ?"
to which she gave a look as though i had committed a blasphemy and said,"the crystal ball is never wrong,dont challenge its word!"
happy and gay ;) (you bunch of perverts! ) ,i pay the gypsy the fee and usher myself out ,thinking ,"lets see,what is in store for me"
