A poem for me
You and me....
'You' mitigating all my worries...
'You' making a soporific situation vivid....
'You' as a motivation for me to ameliorate...
Your touch leaving a long lasting impression on my soul...
Your scintillating words flattering me....
and me...
'Me' endeavouring to be vivacious like you....
'Me' striving to be implicated with you....
'Me' searching in u..one who would listen to my nonsensical jabber..
still abstaining to talk......
'Me' always exploring my love for 'You'.................
Feeling on Cloud Nine :) !

Got to be Aishwarya !
Acting by the list of things "To Do - before Graduating", I wanted to see a Theatre Performance at NCPA/ Prithvi. Though i have seen a couple of theatre performances at IITB during Mood Indigo, i found it much different at NCPA. Its like, you buy a buy a 2 Rs ticket and see an elephant at the zoo, or you go on a wildlife expedition and watch him standing in the middle of the river, taking a bath with his extended family. Point i want to emphasize is the difference in the "milieu".
The play we watched was "Got to be Aishwarya", starring Tom Alters. Its a play about a Father-daughter relationship, with the girl searching for her father who estranged her two decades ago ( A rather un-apt title ). I found it moving and comic at the same time. Post the performance had a nice stroll on Marine Drive and dinner at Pizzeria, no better way to spend a Sunday evening.

Tid-Bits :
- NCPA is located at the end of Marine Drive at Nariman Drive, Walking distance from Church Gate station.
- Tickets cost Rs 200 per person ! ( little expensive but better then draining 150 Rs on a movie )
- Not to miss the Art Connoisseurs and their etiquette's, who visit the place in droves.

The Stig !
Some say, He sleeps upside down like a bat. All we know is, he's called The Stig.
Some say, If you tune your radio to 88.4 FM you can actually hear his thoughts. All we know is, he's called The Stig.
Some say, He does not see like humans do, instead he sees numbers in green scrolling down. (A reference to The Matrix ). All we know is, he's called The Stig.
Some say, He is illegal in 17 U.S. states. All we know is, he's called The Stig.
Some say, He can catch fish with his tongue. All we know is, he's called The Stig.
Some say, His voice can only be heard by cats. All we know is, he's called The Stig.
Some say, The outline of his left nipple is exactly the same shape as the Nürburgring. All we know is, he's called The Stig.
Some say, His first name really is "The". All we know is, he's called The Stig
Some say, Long before anyone else he realised that Jade Goody was a racist, pig-faced, waste of blood & organs. (Greeted with a lot of applause) All we know is, he's called The Stig.
Inspired from a wingie's About Me on Orkut. Above are some of my all time favourate Stig introductions. A more comprehensive list can be found on WikiQuote. The real identity of The Stig is still a controversial, as the legend grows. As of know "All we know is, he's called the Stig".

Murud Janjira Trip
My mood was upbeat about the planned trip to murud beach and janjira fort. as despite 4 and a half years of living in bombay, i have never had a proper hangout at a beach (short trips to - marine drive and juhu chaupati.. which are more about food then water do not count ).. So it was on the top of list of things "To Do - Before graduation from IIT-Bombay".
Anyway being the eternal optimist i am, i slept at 3:30am hoping to get up by a 5:30am alarm to meet with rest of the gang at 5:45am. After stretching the snooze function on my cell phone to its maximum (which i must confess, i almost always do), i finally got up at 6:10 ! and hurried to hostel-8 the pre-deicded rendezvous. We started at 8:30 finally, after a much exasperating waiting for the sumo driver to show up (with pawan reiterating atleast a dozen of times - that he will beat the shit of the travel agent).
The next 4 hours was a front seat drive + iPod music + constant supply of food from the gang behind. I was delighted with the some of the scenes i got to see - women carrying firewood, children coming back from school and a rather unusual villager donning shades sitting “thakur” style on the “belgari”, as if posing for the passer byes.
We reached at the at Jajnira around noon, passing murud and kashid beaches in between.Here is some historical background about the Janjira Fort - Murud-Janjira is the name of an insular fort and a former principality situated on the coast of the Konkan. The site is presently included in the district of Raigad in Maharashtra, India. The fort was first built by Habshis, African Muslim slaves from

Returning back from the Janjira fort we headed for lunch at a restaurant located at the Murud seaside and took a short sojourn before hitting the beach. Time flied as I had golly of a time battling the seawaves, playing all kind of stupid games from 2 player football, to footer-golf. Soon it was twilight, and it was a spectacular view seeing the sun sinking down into the ocean. We had sumptuous diet at BTC – Vashi on the trip back. All in all a very successful trip!
