..
Well I am undergoing a phase of total vellapan just like most of my college mates. College is over… CAT 07 is history…joining date is months away…so now its just “ Me n Meri tanhayi”
It was May 15th when I gave my last exam… Yar 2 mahine ho gye koi exam diye hue..ajeeb sa lag raha hai!! This is called PES aka Post Engg Syndrome ;)
So in this time apart from trying a few non pragatish things…I resorted to blogging…n I am loving it :)
The first month of my break was exciting. We finally got our farewell. It was like a fancy dress competition ;) everyone dressed up in pink, blue n purple…trying to look their best. The last adios and the endless photo sessions marked the day. Over the next week, the pics got exchanged on picassa, photo albums were updated on orkut and expert comments were given on every pose n style!
Once the farewell bit was over, I packed my bags n moved over to my mausi’s place. A motley of activities kept me occupied there. From baby sitting, to kite flying, to craftwork, to dilli darshan (I finally visited the Red fort!),to completing practical files for my cousin :(, to playing mindless games, n watching Disney, pogo, hungama for hours n hours. It was fun to be a kiddo again!
As a kid I remember waiting for chutti chutti every morning in the summer breaks, then there was Tales Spin n Duck Tales telecasted on DD Metro on Sunday mornings.I would watch I dream of jennie and Arnold at my nani’s place in the vacations. When we got cable TV at home,I fell in love with Popeye n Tom n jerry of course. Alladin was another favourite. As a teenager I watched Small Wonder with all my devotion.
And my cousins now watch Vikral n Gabral n Shh koi hai for entertainment…God..it scared the wits out of me!!
From chutti chutti to chinchan, we’ve witnessed the change ;)
Now kids have got 4 different channels dedicated for toons…how I am jealous! N irritated sometimes, they dint let me watch anything else!
Finally when I realized all of it was rather damaging my brain cells..I thought of returning back ;).
Now I am back home again doing nothing. So now the question is what 2 do!
I keep planning for a lot of things, like the trip to vaishno devi wid friends, which is in the ever postponement loop!
Any suggestions, comments are forever welcome!
Oh ya I made my first half cooked chapatti in this break..so I actually did something ;)

Move On...
.
.
Stage one was over…The next stage was my destination
The world unfolded itself, beating my imagination....
Leaving the comfort hurts, I felt alone in the pack
There’s so much to learn and so few to pat....
I felt shaky, confused and earthy
Amongst the crowd, I had to find someone worthy....
I looked around, who ever came my way I made them my own
Alas it was a mistake, for I had to test the unknown....
Slowly I shed my shell, took up challenges
Look I am growing now, n now I am off my hinges....
The challenges gave me conviction and belief
Now I can correct the wrong n that has brought me peace....
The new ones understand me n let me be ME
I am happy now and I feel free....
Its not like all the old ones are gone
I have clung to those I thought I belonged....
-Pragati
PS- Its Abstract yet very personal :)

Jab We Met
.
What is it with this movie?
I have watched it umpteenth no. of times n can watch it a million more times.
And then its music..its simply fantabulous!
I never get tired of listening to the nagada number or the aao ge kab tum melody.And then theres Tum se hi…Mohit Suri’s voice just blends in like butter on a hot baked bread!
The direction n dialogues by Imtiaz Ali…Simply Mind Blowing!!
This guy has got some brains …his earlier flicks Socha na Tha n Saathiya wer equally awesome. He knows the youth psyche n portrays it well!
Then theres Aditya Kashyap…In which factory has he been churned out from!
He looks dashing, behaves sensibly, earns a million and sings so well … Watta guy!
Yar aise ladke train pe hi milte hain kya? ;)
I’m sure every girl who watched the movie would have taken some part of Geet with her.
The vivacious sikhni is simply adorable. She’s chirpy, loves herself deeply ( mein apni sabse favourite hoon ;) ),modest...( Bhaiya ab mera hath chod do..mein itni bhi sunder nhi hun ), kiddish and she is completely kkrazzy.
I wish I was just as crack as her if not more :P
JWM Gyan –
- Jawan Ladki Khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai
- Ratlam Ki Galiyon se gujrein to Hotel descent na jayein!
- Bhatinda jayein to ganne ke khet zaroor dekhen (Ask anshuman about the where abouts ;))
- Methods to get over ur ex-> jala do Sali ko…ya…phone karo :P
- A mast bargain-> 1 roop ke sath aadhi geet muft muft muft!
- Jab b tum kuch sachi mein chahte ho,actually mein, to wo tumhe zaroor milta hai
- Next time u board a train, keep a check, may be your Adi Kashyap’s waitin for u ;)

My first Day at College..
.
Its been 4 years now..n my Engineering degree is complete…yet the first day of my college is still fresh in my memory.Everything seems lyk it just happened yesterday.
College gives you a new lease of life..you can start afresh and the first day is particularly special as it more or less decides the company you would have in the coming years....
Read on...
When I entered an engineering college..unfortunately it wasn’t the college of my dreams. My dream of entering a premier institute had just been shattered and as destiny would have it I entered the same college for which I had been teasing my sister for 2 years.Yes, after school we were supposed to study at the same place again!
2 years elder to me she was my super senior at college. I settled for the same branch as her.
Well to be honest this college wasn’t that bad..but there was one issue...This was a girls College! Well u think..no Big deal n y the fuss…think of 70 girls packed in 1 class room..I hope now u empathise ;)
Well..it started with the orientation day which I gleefully missed..ya I bunked the first day of colg :P..I thought I have my sis to show me the place anytime.
Aug 2, 2004
Day 1- It rained that day..so I was late for the colg..as I entered the building..I was awed to see the campus..It was like a bhulbhulaiya..huge n complicated. I first met few of my sister’s classmates n said a nervous hello n moved on. Next was the electrical Block..I saw a gang of girls staring at me..Errrrr…Wat was dat..I hadn’t still entered the class room n wud I be ragged first up…someone Phlz help..However, I gathered some courage n moved upto them..Oieee….They were my to be classmates (They were big n mature..did I luk lyk a baby??)
Next I moved to the class only to find that I had already missed my first lecture! (Oh boy! I was getting into the college mode rather fast…already missing classes).
Next was the Ranga Rao Lab n I moved on…I met Shreya there..a nice simple luking girl…she asks me…hi r u a day shcy? Ohh..now wat in the world was dat supposed to be..shud I ask..wud it luk silly…Oh hell..I asked her…err..sorry wat did u say…she smiled n told me that it’s the short form of day scholar..(Hmm…. welcome to the world of short forms from now on day scholar wud be day schy, Analog Electronics wud be AE, calculator wud be calcy, Gangadharappa Sir wud be GD )
That moment I counted her as a friend and chose her company for the rest of the day…for the large part of the day we were running from one place to another…sometimes for classes n most of the times escaping from the clutches of ragging ;)
Meanwhile my sis walks up to me in the midst of the day to tell me that she is leaving as now she is free and asked if I could get by home by myself. I immediately said OK! After all this was my chance to prove I’m a big girl now.
Finally the day ended at 5 and I was anxious as to how wud I get back. ..Ya right anxious coz…I was at this place 20 Kms away from home..with no idea of buses or routes.. but Just then I found Parul (I gotta know that she lived 2 blocks away from my place). I was so relieved to have her with me.
I don’t really remember the ride back home in the DTC buses but the one thing I wont ever forget is that I found my best friend on the way back home :)
I entered the place as a confused and an eager teenager….
I am still confused and eager…its just that m not a teenager anymore ;)
