Am back from home but still there’s not much time to write much…Am unable to visit you all too. Please bear with me for a few more days … 
Meanwhile, just wanted to let u guys know that yesterday, bro and me gifted a Maruit Alto to Dad as a birthday gift. His first car…Dad was so happy and I was even happier cuz it was my first step to *try to* repay everything he has done for me so far…
And yes, my roommate has written something that is in context of a common friend of ours but applies universally. It happens so often with the poor male species..tsk tsk..
Go and read “Neha Network Systems” by Amit.

neways, just d/led this video by green day “Boulevard of broken dreams” and it totally rocks…
Green Day always seems to surprise me with the variation in their style and they do it in such a kewl way..
The song is from the “American Idiot” album and if the title song (american idiot) was written and sung with loadsa attitude, this one shows us their sentimental side as Billie Joe longs for someone to accompany him in the journey of life….
If you haven’t heard this song yet, then go here to download the video Green Day Videos.

An apology to all my visitors for not having written anything lately. Work load has increased a lot all of a sudden and its hard to find time or energy to write on anything….
Guess, it’ll remain like that for a few days…Something new and interesting is in the offing, so lets hope that turns into reality…
Will get back to you guys soon…

But as soon as I posted this, just a few hours after that, my blog again slipped to the number 2 spot. Guess it was a case of The Page Rank 100 Incident…

The last couple of weeks went in so much of agony. The agony of being bored to death. Now, I don’t have a TV at home. So, my only source of entertainment once I reach my place is my roommates’ computer (or Dabba, as we lovingly call it). We squat around it religiously every night as The Show begins. Some times a movie that i downloaded at work and managed to get it written onto a CD but generally it is re-runs and re-reruns and re-re-reruns of “Friends”. Don’t laugh cuz though we have memorized most of the dialogues by now but they are our only hope and sahara. Then the show is followed by an un-ending loop of songs that are in abundance.
Just when I had started utilizing the “Never Played” section of winamp (How I was horrified to see about 20 GB out of the total 43 GB collection listed there), something happened. We were happily watching “Friends” as usual, Chandler made a PJ, I threw back my head laughing (since my sense of humour is so pathetic that i find pleasure in those PJs), as my head came back forward and my eyes started to open again, I expected to find a bustling “cafe perk” in front of me, but instead I found a pair of eyes staring back at me from a dark background. What was the horrifying part behind this was that those eyes were my own, belonging to a reflection that aws cast in the now-blank screen. Too dumbfounded, I coudn’t move for a few seconds. After gathering my senses, opened the CPU cabinet, hoping it was just some lose wire or something. But my heart skipped a beat on seeing the soot covered Power supply. Yeah guys, the power supply was gone.
We mourned the passing of our pyaara dabba into coma for complete two minutes (that is the maximum attention span I can give to anything). And our life has been hell since then…
Neways, thanks for listening to one of the most tragic incidents of my life. But here’s the good news…
My roomie’s got a new power supply and its gonna be one rolicking night. Hope my landlords aren’t feeling too sleepy today cuz they aren’t gonna get any……
Dabbe, Rock on….:)
