type='text'>free rock show..</title><content type='html'>went to abhis place to do my project.....  we finally complted the full interface baring some minor details like the accounts module which we still have to discuss with the company.  we had to start with our database today ... we had already made the schema in the object oriented style but as we found out the or mapper we were going to use called llbl gen pro converts relational schema into c3 ( oo) code which is totaly the opposite of what we planned for . so now we ourselfs have to map it ( the oo schema) to realtional schema which will be a bit tedious .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mohit had taken up the resposibility but it seems that he wasnt going to turn up today. the fellow has some serious issues to sort out ! he is so unpredictable ..but i dont blame him .. hes a stud .. the fellow can manage to sneek out of any sticky situaton like a eel. he the only feloow is guess in history to have not atended the whole of a semester and actually manage to get away with it ! :-o i dont know how he does it but i respect him for that .. as abhi says what ever happens .. mohit will be the first one to get a job amongst us . amen to that !! he'll prove to be an invaluabe friend in the long run !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway , coz he dint turn up abhi and i decided to to go to vt to do somethig .. vaibhav wanted to exchange some cds there so he came along too. so did 2 of abhi's room mates.  the fellow from whom vibhav had bought the cds turned out to be such a fraud .. he was not willing to actually take back the cds at first but along came this other fellow pretending to be the good guy and tricked us all ... actually vibhav into buying 3 blank cds and 2 other cds which were some other crap games .. for 150 bucks !! i hoep vibhav learnt his lesson . the fellow is the ultimate example of people being penney wise and pound foolish. after all this we decide to call up  madu coz hes like the local fellow in south bombay .. as we had expected he said that there was this arts festival going on in kala ghoda and that there was a rock show going to be held at 2030 hrs .  and the best part was that it was free ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;met up with madu and decide that we should first have our dinner so we went to the near by mc to have a burgur or too to satify our tummies. hurried back and met up madu again in the park that was supposed to hold the show.. a band called Pentagram was playing ... and they really SUCKED .. i mean all their own songs had no life or energy to them ... the fact that the lead singer was jumping around throwing water on the audiance and shouting obscenities wasnt making thier songs any better ... the only thing which was worth mentioning was that they played the background score of prodigy and one of pink floyds famous tunes - we dont need no education .. thank god that it was free .. other wise the crowd would have killed all four of em for playin such sad songs ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;reached home at around 12 at night and surprisingly mom nor dad said anything !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>the real meaning of crap</title><content type='html'>i dont have a clue how people like surakant can become the prfs in my college. i mean they should have some kinda interview right and how the hell did he actually convince people that he could teach goes over my imagination .. the fellow is a Mtech .. and is pursuing a Phd .... the prime reason why i dont ever want to do my higher education form india . if people like him can get a Phd from here u can imagine the state of affiars in this place .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i dont know how he comes up with utterly dumb ideas . he must have no other work at home other than to think up such dullard stuff all night coz his wife wont even come near him .  the only thing i plan to do is to stay out of his way this whole semester ... with the intelect like his it is better to avoid him than to confront him .. the only consolation after all this metal badgering is that the fellow actually gives u good term work .. so i do what i do the best this time around too ... being invisible !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'></title><content type='html'>today started out as a prety ...mmmm.... downish day . u know the kind of day that u get and feel awefull bout everything  for no apparent reason at all. was feeling kinda very down !!! got up kinda late too ..about 10:30 .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway tryed to help out mom and dad to put away all the decorations that had been put up for christmas .  i thought maybe that will cheer me u p. but it kinda dint . so i tried to watch tv. the final episode of the apprentice was on tv ( love that reality show ) can u belive that Bill won !! i always liked kuqami better . actually i liked Troy the best . but then his education made all the difference. its funney huh how people who are themselves not so educated tend to make an empire and then hier people on their qualifications rather than their potentials and their abilities . u know its kinda unfair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so since bill won ( i wanted kuqami  to win )   it dint cheer me u either . so i tried to play counter strike . but the bots seemed to me getting me in each nook and craney . that dint help either .  then aditi called u pand said that all my old school friends were meeting u pin the evening at mcdonals . this was good . good to cheer me u p. and it did too. i was relaxed and u know feeling better already . then when i reached there things went back to looking bad . there were no boys in the group . just 6 girls . sat there alone listening at all of them saying some stuff that i could barely understand ! u know girl talk . my delima was finally resolved when debaditya came by after like half an hour .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we went to nitya's  uncles place in koparkharne . nice place u know garden swings swimming pools and all . cool place to hang out and stuff.  was unnis ( cousin)  b'day today and had to go to his place for dinner but due to some mix up we dint go . i hate all this internal politics that parents place among themselves.  anyway i had my dinner with my friends instead .  was a nice evening after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i mean the day did begin on a very shithy mood but ended in a very good party atmosphere

type='text'>i am finally online !!!</title><content type='html'>wow i made it ! that wasnt so hard was it ? my first blog . ... what do i write ? why am writing this ? i guess i wanted to put down some stray thoughts that come to my mind and also to be part of this exciting community that i have been hearing so much about .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am starting this year with a lot of anticipation . its a big year for me . perhaps the most important year of my life yet . y ? coz its my final year.  i am in my final year of computer engineering . its make or break time .  have to take that extra effort this 6 months atleast coz it will spape what will be of my whole life ahead . kinda unfair dont u think . i mean just 6 months of ur time determining the whole course of ur life .. then again thats life !!! unfair in all its glory !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
