As time flows by

Only a year back, this feeling was not so alien. And then, college happened.

Its another thing to press the pause button and take a look back at everything that whizzed by in the last ten months. But, time doesn't stop. Life, as they say, goes on.

So as the first year in college comes to a tiring end, there is so much for me to look back and learn from. Small and big, highs and lows;experiences which I will cherish for a long, long time to come! But even as I do so, the perennial continuity of life reminds me of the need to make sure this is not the end to the beautiful journey that started almost a year back. That, no matter what, life will go on.

Amidst mixed feelings of joy and anxiety, there is comfort in knowing a greater part of the 3 years in college is still to come. Going by how this one year was, the next two years look promising indeed. As college gives over for the summers, its nice to know that in two months, all the fun and excitement will be back. As I look back at the year that was, it thrills me to know that there will be greater challenges ahead. Tougher decisions and bigger stakes. And then, I realize how its nature's call to grow up.

I will miss the parties, the innumerable outings over lunch, the countless treats, the sleepovers, the fest madness, the "Happy Nights", and the extremely talented group of third years who will leave at the end of the year. For me, this last year was more than just those dispersed hours of academic learning. It was about making new bonds with some of the best people I've met in all my life.

My first year in college was downright "brilliant". Thank you, one and all, who've been there and made this year so special.

Over, and out.

Hoax of the millennium!

Hey all!!

After I apparently made Bunny 'famous in a weird way' , as he himself put it.. Time has come around to add the second edition to my series of writing about my friends.. I wish the person I'm writing about today takes it just in the same spirit as Ankur did :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As horrifying as it may sound ( since we all here are immensely concerned with Twilight !! ), in an investigation by the Kolkata police officials, the hoax of the millennium was uncovered today as the REAL ROBERT PATTINSON was unearthed from Kolkata.

Meet the REAL Robert Pattinson.

The real Robert Pattinson

Nishant Chhajer.. trying to act as Robert Pattinson :P

This striking revelation has been met with great joy in India where young girls are not going crazy to meet the new star. The old Robert Pattinson has been dumped by Kristen Stewart who was quoted by the Views of the world (VotW)  saying.. " I am so impressed with my new Vampy ".

Pattinson; out to hunt at night

Meanwhile, millions of people are now loading onto VotW's website to know more about this real Robert Pattinson, who seemingly has quite an history himself. Born a vampire, this new Pat rose through the Vamp ranks quite quickly. In 2006, he became the youngest Vampire in the world to go hunting at midnight all by himself.

Life gradually became humane for him and he picked up football. An excellent striker, he was then spotted by the then Liverpool manager, Rafa Benitez, in retaliation to SAF's grabbing onto Bunny's talents. In the days to come, he went to Anfield for his try-outs .. but couldn't make it to the squad for two chief reasons - He wasn't spanish (so Rafa bought Torres) and it turned out that Ryan Babel was taller than him. It was at this time that Patty started supporting Man Utd, out of sheer agony and frustration.

Patty, dreading the sun...

Depressed with his luck, Patty came back to India and started living a low-key life. Afraid of failure, he would lock himself up in his room for hours and come out only for meals. He couldn't bear the sun as it reminded him of the sunny days in Anfield, which were short-lived.

It was this heart breaking story of a teenager that moved a certain Stephanie Meyer, when she came to India. She went to Patty's place personally. The encounter took the brains out of Meyer, and she was left pretty much with the intellect of a ten-year old.

Watching his name being used so gruesomely by Meyer, Patty took to excessive boozing, gaming and 'Akash Goenka'. Patty fell in love with Akash and they both lived happily together before one fine evening, Akash learnt Patty's dirty secret. Akash was never seen again.

Patty's instincts grew wilder. Those who opposed him started to disappear. In this list were Joy Sir, Mimoh (Mithun Chakrabarty's son), Edgar Davids and Geroge Bush. All of them disappeared... and were never seen again. 


Going through Patty's childhood albums was a pain in the a**. He was randomly snapped doing many things which a normal human baby would.. to hide his vampy-ness from the world.

What follows is one such photo which has the potential to make you cry. Weak heart people are advised not to scroll down and children are advised parental guidance. This picture of Patty was snapped when he was 203 years old. Yes, for 203 years he had not aged beyond what a normal 7 year old kid would. Here, you can see Patty trying to 'bay' his next victim in the darkness. He is making his victim believe that they are playing the game of cricket while, as you can see, Patty is cornering him along with his partner, who plays the wicket - keeper. (Notice his eyes.. they glitter at the sight of food!! )

The man with the bat was never seen again.

Thanks to the untiring efforts of the Kolkata police, the real Pattinson has finnaly been discovered.. and now that has happened, we can all live and sleep happily again. :)

As for me, nice try Nish!




xD

I am a Disco Dancer! < Yeahe! >

Hello all !! .. Today I am starting a new series to add to Taking Cover, one where I shall be giving everyone a glimpse into the lives of my friends from school and elsewhere :).. I hope the guys I write about / on take it in the good spirits; Read, curse and forget.. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And who better to start off with, but Bunny!

Bunny, aka Ankur, aka Ankoooooooooooooor has more Os to his name than on his hand. Oh, and if you're wondering why I brought in the hand in the first place, well.. lets just say he has a thing for calligraphy and just simply cannot resist inscribing the name of the next pretty girl he comes across :P

Bunny transforms into an image of Eric Cantona after scoring a goal. Its a brilliant sight, I tell you!

Bunny is a natural striker and can score goals with either foot. His talent was spotted in his blooming years by Sir Alex Ferguson and consequently he was called on to Old Trafford for try-outs. Rumor has it that Bunny was the favorite to make it through. He was exceptional in all skills but lost out to Cauhtemoc Blanco (Mexico) in the straight sprint, which landed him back in India. Unfortunately, even Blanco didn't make it to the Red Devils' squad after SAF chose to spend some cash on Bebo.

Bunny living his romantic dream

Ever since he came back, depressed, from England, Bunny started having feelings for people. It was not long before he started having a crush on Sounak .. and very soon the adolescent infatuation developed into passionate love. His love started to take violent shape and exploded on Sounak's birthday. What followed cannot be mentioned on a family website.

Among Bunny's unlimited talents, he has a special knack for musical instruments. Everyone who has heard Bunny has compared him to greats like Jimmi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Synyster Gates and Kirk Hammett. They say, the guitar just cries to go into Bunny's hands and as soon as it does, boy does it not make you shake! Bunny has worked so hard over the years, he is now the only man on earth who can play the guitar, without the guitar! Give him anything and he'll make music out of it.. 

Bunny playing the Broom Guitar.. see the fire?

 Legend has it that when Bunny plays the Broom Guitar, things start burning. Here is a picture (to the right) of Bunny showcasing his supernatural talent. William Shakespeare was the first one who spotted this unnatural talent in Bunny when he came on a voyage to India. Shakespeare was so deeply moved, he impersonated Bunny's dark skills as an element of darkness in the dark apparitions before Caesar's death.

But, no compilation of Bunny's specialties would be complete without mentioning his god like powers of asking out women. In the picture that follows, behold the mighty .. as Soudip and Rohit receive first hand education from the master himself. He calls it the "I-have-a-damn-crush-on-you" proposal. Legend also says that Eos died when Bunny proposed to her. Unfortunately, Tennyson couldn't live long enough to make that note in Tithonus.

The Proposal

Till the next time.. Adios! xD
