Of stupidism of Murphy, my love and a bit of truism

As fate would have it, an IITian is born to show last minute acts of brilliance in tasks which are meant to take a few days if not less with a deadline over a month away. But this species of homo sapiens (a species inside a species, isn't it spectacular?), will never ever finish it on time, but would rather wait for the last minute to beckon on its face and challenge it to show its mettle. So as this philosophy is an example of truism, it has to be proved to everytime. So just to prove it right, Murphy and his laws also keep coming into play everytime. I know you must be wondering, what the hell has gone wrong this time. And though I hardly ever care about what you think and what you are not capable of, I will pardon you this time and tell, its nothing but my medical tests (HIV included). They have been there to be done for ages now, but I with my wisdom of such high order, waited for the last couple of days to get the job done. And now when I am supposed to come out with an act of magic, I am understanding the importance of not eating ( and not not drinking by the way ). So the task will have to wait for a day and now I can just wonder, how I am going to change my plans and alter the jampacked schedule which I had for the coming three days which are left with me before I knock on a place remoter than this but much better than all Saharanpurs and Mungers.
Anyway, one committement which I cannot meddle with is a play at LTG by an organization called Jamghat, on which you can have a look at http://jamghat.blogspot.com , so I hope that would be a good show. So the brighter part is I will get to meet my love after a long time. She is so cool and beautiful that I just cannot help but wonder how come I found her out so late in my life. I am in complete awe of her. Her name? Delhi Metro. I mean its the best thing that could have happened to the ever black transport of Delhi, and for a change you want to travel, rather than travelling on need and at times avoiding too because of the pathetic state of the public transport system. I am dying to spectate the time when the whole of Delhi will be covered by the Metro. Patience bears fruits and hope they are mangoes this time.
As I get ready for my first corporate stint, I have thought of changing myself a bit (though it requires a gigabyte of change). For a change, I will stop to be extravagant and for a change start imagining myself to be in US because then only I can wake up at 5 in the morning, as I am supposed to do in a few days. But my time at IAF reminds me of similar times, and I believe it was quite an enjoyable experience, but that can be told perhaps sometimes later.

Wait till you get to Vadodara! Then we can fairly compare Saharanpur and Vadodara. Remember the conversation we had on our way to IIT from Rodeo the first time ... vadodara = almost no non veg and almost no daaru ... Saharanpur = Absolut double at Rs. 80/- only. And the life outside your plant would be pretty much the same ;)

Isn't this funny , One of us gets stuck in a dry state, the other one though boasts of absolut for rs 80 but craves for burgers and pizza and any other decent food or a place to hangout and the third one though dwelling only 100 mtrs from liqourland cannot drink for religious reasons :).

Yes, it's rather funny to observe situations life often lands us in :)
