Mumbai Darshan…

Well, this is my third back to back post here. I guess, I am on a posting spree now .

So, as I said in the previous post, this one is about one of my roaming about journeys with my friends in my time in the civilization.

It was last Friday when I decided with some of my friends to go to Worli sea face just for spending some time. It was afternoon when we started our trip and almost evening when it actually started .

All of us met at Dadar station and went by a bus to Worli. The ignorance to the instructions of the bus conductor and listening to those of some fellow traveler uncle landed us in a bus stop which was quite before our destination . So, we decided to walk from there to the sea face. After about a few minutes walk from there we reached the sea face at last. Sat there for some time just watching the sea view and enjoying the bhel by the sea side. That was wonderful .

After spending some time, we decided to go to ATRIA mall which is there in Worli itself and so took a taxi and reached there. Going about the mall, we came to know that it was too much high classed and I thought it would be an insult to a shop if we entered it just for window shopping . But, humlog nahi sudherenge! We entered A big Nike showroom just to check out all the official jerseys and other stuff kept there. Looking at the price, we ran away! So, we then went to the food court to have something and thought of checking out the famous 4D theater over there. Even there just looking at the rate card stating a whooping Rs.300 for a movie show of 15 mins we ran out again. After this running out session from everywhere we ran out of the mall itself! Yeah…. but we saw a black Rolls Royce Phantom in the showroom below the mall! (Aah… I think now you can guess…. kitne high class mall mein the humlog! )

Coming out of the mall we thought of going to the Nehru Planetarium which is nearby the mall. We, were thinking of doing some timepass out there but so stupid of us to think that it would be open at 6.30 pm. (that’s not any hotel to be open all day long ). So, again we were thinking about how to spend some more time as no one wanted to go home early! That is the time when some one of us came out with a brilliant idea!!

We were sitting beside a bus stop, when one of us said that we will, look at the destination boards of the coming BEST buses and then decide where to go. Just then we spotted a bus going to CST and we just hopped on in the bus and took tickets to CST. So, getting down at Dadar, going to Worli, we were now diverted to CST. But one more diversion was to come!

It was in the bus when I thought of an idea that if the bus was going to CST via Marine Drive, we could get down at BACHELORS ( the ice cream parlor and juice corner famous for its green chilli ice cream..). No, but the bus didn’t seem to go that way when again I spotted the Charni Road railway station and I knew that the BACHELORS was just behind the station. All of us again jumped out of the bus ( wasting the ticket money of about half of the journey ) and crossed the station to reach the parlor. After having some good drink over there we then left to our respective homes!

So, that was my wonderful trip in this wonderful city!!

Apart from Euro!

My last few posts were just about the Euro 2008 that’s going on. So, now I have thought of writing about something else as someone might think that I am just crazy about football and have no life apart from the idiot box ( like Saurabh ).

So as I have said before I am in civilization these days, so thus I am having a lot of fun . Its just happy time for me, as there is no work to do nor any submissions to think of (as though I have a really hectic schedule in college ). Anyways, these days, as my friends doing engineering (yeah…. the actually “studying” lot of students ) have completed their exams and now are free of their cramming and “rattafication” work for a month, I have a chance of meeting them and spending some great time.

Thus, for the past few days, I have been busy in making plans, canceling plans, and working out the plans . Meeting up friends, watching movies, going places….. its all fun. So, actually I don’t sit in front of the TV all day long watching some crap… but I have some life too…

My last week was nearly filled with all the plans of getting out and roaming with friends. I went to see some movies.

The first movie was Sarkar Raj which was a pretty good movie and I think I liked it.

The other one which me and my friends went to was Mere Baap Pehle Aap!!! BAAP RE BAAP!!! The worst movie of my life till now. It was the first movie of its kind which forced me to leave the theatre and run for my life!! I think that was the best way to waste our Rs. 90 per head! So, if you want the best way to waste your money, just go for this movie playing in a theatre near you… claiming its a WORLDWIDE HIT… But I tell you, its S**T!

Now to get out of the trauma faced by us the previous day after wasting precious Rs. 90 over the crappiest movie made, we thought of going to another movie called Aamir! And yeah…. that was a really good movie. The wonderful portrayal of the subject makes it a must watch movie for all. Hence, that got us back from our trauma to our normal self.

The latest movie seen after that is Get Smart which I saw just this Monday and that is also a cool movie. Complete time pass.

So, this way, some of the plans of my past week are here. The other plans included meeting up with more of my friends ( whoa… I really have many friends… I am damn lucky I guess.. ) and going roaming around eating in McDonalds and other costly food courts .

I think this post is getting really long now, so I guess I’ll write about one of my journeys in the next post!

Oranje Juice(d)…. Now who?

Yet again…. the team I supported has lost the quarter final match and have gone back home.

Yeah Netherlands, one more strong contender for the title has gone home after losing to a comparatively underdog Russia. 3-1 was the scoreline by which Russia defeated Netherlands.

I have purposely chosen to write this post after the completion of all the quarter finals. Because, I was not yet sure of how many more surprises were there as one more surprising moment the previous day when Turkey got through!

So, until now, the teams I have chosen to support have lost in the tournament and there are the semis and the finals left.

So which team am I going to support now?

Well, the answer should be I guess, no-one… Yeah, I think its better now to take absolutely no sides in the match and enjoy the excellent football that is being played.

Thus, now no more changing colors but just enjoying the football.

Changing Colors….

EURO 2008 Quarter finals:

PORTUGAL 2-3 GERMANY

So sad , the team i was supporting for this EURO was ousted of this competition last night after a brilliant game in Basel, Switzerland.

The game was very good one, but Germany took the most of it in the first half itself when Bastian Schweinsteiger and Miroslav Klose scored two brilliant goals in the span of four minutes. The European Championship had slipped away from my favorites by that time. But still, the Portuguese were looking for a fight back and struck one back in the first half itself. It was really looking like they would come back and I was hoping that too. But in the second half, due to some miserable play, they couldn’t score and Michael Ballack scored one more time and that was another nail in the Portuguese coffin! Nani and Helder Postiga were substituted later and they looked as if they could turn the match but still they couldn’t do much to avoid Portugal from going back home even though Postiga scored a brilliant goal with the help of Nani.

Anyways, now the game is over and my tournament favourites have gone home. So, its time to root for some other team that looks as if they have a potential to lift the Cup. Looking at the matches so far, it seems as that I would be going with the Oranje! The Dutch really have made themselves one of the tournament favorites by their display against the World Cup 2006 finalists. But watching the group stage rankings, Spain are also showing off themselves as a worthy competitor, but it can also be a repeat of Euro 2004 where the underdogs like Greece came out to win the Cup. Even though Greece is out of the tournament in the group stages itself with a humiliating standings for a defending champion, there is one more team that has already given a surprise show against Sweden, Russia.

As I said earlier, I would be rooting for Netherlands now. I really hope that Van Basten’s men bring the Euro Cup to their home. So, lets see, how long do I get to support for this team.

ORANJE ORANJE ORANJE

Euro 2008… CELEBRATE

The biggest football tournament of Europe is back again after four years. Its on now and so its the time for football fans to get glued to their tv screens.

So this time, who is it going to be? Who is going to get the coveted European Cup? Lets wait and watch.

Well, this time I’ll be rooting for Portugal. After the horrible defeat last time in the finals at their home ground, that too against a team like Greece, they should win this time. But still, there are many contenders for this too and watching the Netherlands play untill now, the Dutch have surely made themselves one of the tournament favourites. Then there are the Germans and the Spanish. Leaving these so called powerfull and hyped teams, some other teams too are putting up a good show till now.

Thus, let’s see how this tournament unfolds itself and may the best team win. And so, whatever the case maybe its the time for the fans to celebrate.

EURO 2008… CELEBRATE

Made my first GAME!!

I made my first game. Yes, I made it!!

So what if I have made it by looking at a tutorial and its just a Flash game. I still made a Game!!!

Yeah, my first game is made. I have named it AVOID !!

I can’t post it over here otherwise I would have kept it here. Anyways, as I said before, its just a very simple Flash game and made from a tutorial. But again its my first game. And considering that I don’t know any good ActionScript, still I understood the code what I was writing….or rather copying…

So, I am happy

Thus, I have done something related to my studies hehehe!!!

You know its a great feeling…

Return to Civilization…

Yeah I am back to civilization i.e. I am back home

So, being back home is really a great thing. And coming back after more than two months is much big thing, and to add to that coming to home from a place called Chennai is like…… u cant xpress how great u feel like.

Anyways, I m not criticising Chennai over here because that post can go on-and-on-and-on…

But still, what I meant to say was that the feeling of coming home is really awesome…. and this is the one I get when I return every time.. And now, the bigger reason is that I will be home for more than a month.. (actually first the vacation was supposed to be for two whole months but later my college thought they can’t let the students enjoy that much and preponed it and made it for about one month )

Then what am I going to do for so long??

And that is why I think I have started writing a blog.

Except this, I am thinking of doing many things related  to my studies ( yeah…. my studies are playing games, thinking about new games and learning some stuff for the games ….. so for others it might not sound anything related to studying )

And, I am thinking of hanging out with my friends also but I’ll have to wait for that also, because most of my friends are busy giving their “2nd semester engineering exams” ( now that will surely sound like studies right… ). Thus, at this very moment I am jobless… and so I am typing something

Thats all for this time I guess… will be posting something soon!

Started writing a blog….. At Last!!

Hello…

So, after about two months have passed since I have opened this blog, I have finally started writing something on it.

The delay caused was mainly due to my college ppl blocking this website just the very day I created my account.. and being away from a good net connection for a while, I couldn’t post anything…

Neways, now as I have started with it, lets see how much can I post on this blog
