Scream in terror #3
Me playing Mad world on the guitar.
Fell in love with this song after adam lambert sang his heart out on the american Idol finale (damn you america, you have no taste).
Seriously, if this doesnt move you, you’re a soulless automaton incapable of human emotion
Mad world
Sms
A series of messages I received after I fell asleep. My friends always know how to make my morning as WTF as possible.
Fine, i won’t text you at all, just… Have a good night, okay? Please.
Look, i shouldn’t have sent that. I’m sorry. Just forget it, okay? Forget i did that.
I’m just worried about you, alright? Call it a crime if you want, but it’s not. My concern is not a crime.
Okay i’m going to bed i guess. But if you’re awake, you should call me. I might be up for a while. Going to bed, though.
Did u get my txt?
Guess not. That’s cool. Me either. Will txt u tomorrow, k? Ignore these, though, k? Please.
Hey, u up?
Being gay isnt about being natural
So we were having this debate about the legalisation of section 377. This girl I was up against went batshit insane when she was beaten, shouting that “It wasnt natural”. Not to be outdone in crazy I passed her this note.
You say that gay marriage isn’t natural but I don’t think you know anything about being natural because you live inside a house and I saw pictures of you inside your room. But i live outside nature in the outdoors
You don’t know anything it is to be about natural because you eat food from a store and I eat food that i kill with a rock. I’m a vegetarian but I kill all the food i eat with a rock. I kill plantswith a rock. And I use a computer that’s made out of wood and I work on a computer thats natural.
You use a computer thats made out of technology and you don’t know anything about what it is to be natural. I eat computers that are made out of wood and rocks and I use plants that are made of computers and you don’t know what it is to be natural
So if you want to know what it is to be natural you should go to the store and you should buy wood that is made out of rocks and you should kill the computers with trees and then you would learn about what it is to be natural.
You don’t know what it is to be natural because you cant marry a gay only a lesbian.
If you get married to a gay you wont be a gay anymore because marriage is between a man and a woman and one of them will have to turn into a woman. So i’m getting married to a gay and using my computer thatts made out of wood that I killed with a rock to show you what it is to be natural.
And that is how you convince a crazy person. Act crazier
Scream in terror #2
A few dozen tries and a few hours of editing with audition.
I know this sucks, but I’m darn proud of it.
Here without you baby by me

Original version here. Amazing song
College
College is hectic. College is fun. College is tiring. Being the second college that I went to in the last three months, here’s a breakdown:
6.00 AM: Its obscenely early in the morning. Wake up. My mom helps, because unlike the alarm clock that drones on periodically with the same tone, her voice changes dramatically the third or fourth time ensuring that I wake up before she grabs me and starts shaking me violently.
6.20 AM: Gulp down oats.
6.30 AM: Go to the bus stand. Wait for the bus
6.35 AM: Realise that I’ve forgotten to take a.) A drafter b.) Laptop c.) Bag d.) All the above. Rush back home
6.40 AM: Get on the bus. Start listening to Yellowcard/ Adam Lambert/ The fray/ Some obscure Indie band no one has heard of, so that my music player won’t be snatched away as it contains songs somebody else likes
7.45 AM: Reach college. Use choiciest swear words as back hurts like hell. Go to class
12.30 PM: Lunch. Get ragged
1.30 PM: Bunk class. Play truth or dare/ Antakshari/ Fifa on LAN.
3.30 PM: Return home in bus. Get ragged all the way home
As you can clearly see, this keeps me busy throughout the week
You would think that college would be innovative and challenging, academically speaking. WRONG
While the teachers are awesome hip folk who sport iPhones, give out five stars and go for movies with students, the subjects themselves are POINTLESS.
Learning to justify paragraphs in MS word and drawing alphabets exactly 10mm high and 6 mm wide? Boring.
I’m sure many people would appreciate the precision and skill it takes for engineering graphics. I don’t.
I swear if I get one more assignment where I have to write any more alphabets, I’m throwing rocks at the mechanical department.
And there’s ragging. Lots and lots of ragging. While most seniors are awesome people who just want to have fun, it does get on your nerves a bit. I’ve proposed to half a dozen girls, danced the salsa and swept the floor to entertain my senior overlords. What do you want me to do next? Sing the national anthem while playing the violin with my legs? Rewrite the Iliad recasting you as the hero? Please, Give me a break.
A classic example of ragging:
“Give me five lines about the Taj Mahal”
“ The Taj was built by shahjahan
The Taj was built is located in Agra
The Taj was built in memoriam of shahjahan’s wife mumtaz
The Taj is one of the seven wonders of the world
The Taj is a symbol of love”
“Good now repeat, replacing *The Taj* with *My dick* “

Stay classy, people.
And there’s the canteen food, the canteen sucks so bad that it warps the space-time continuum. The paneer noodles doesn’t have any paneer, the veg fried rice doesn’t have any vegetables. Being an iyengar payyan I’m finding it particularly difficult to the largely non vegetarian menu. I never thought I’d say this, but I miss eating good ole thaayir sadham and maavadu
But college is awesome on so many more levels. You meet a lot of people with varied interests, all the socialising is awesome, I just love my batchmates. Bunking pointless classes to go to Ascendas or mocha or to just sit on the lawn and play Fifa has become a habit. And oh I shook hands with John Wright, the John Wright, former Indian coach, besides organising symposiums and making video presentations. Yup college sure has been exciting
Overall I love college, and the people there. Life is good, in a tiring sort of way.
The one where you close your ears and scream in terror.
There I am sitting relaxed and content, playing my guitar and generally being awesome as I’m wont to be, when in walks Preeti, spoilt brat and drama queen and sadly friend.
“Hey whatcha doi – What the hell is that noise?”
“Can’t you see, I’m rocking my axe”
“What?”
“Dammit woman, I’m creating inspirational music here”
“Why? Why would you want to inflict so much pain on any organism unfortunate enough to have ears?”
“Laugh all you want, but guitars are guaranteed chick magnets”
“Ugh.. I’m a girl and I couldnt be more repulsed”
“I’ll show you. I’ll upload it to the internets and gather fame and fortune beyond your wildest dreams *Shakes fist angrily*”
“whatever, you dumb shit”
So, without further ado, I present the saddest excuse for music you will ever hear. For reasons that cant be explained without a few flowcharts and graphs I call it “Ode to England”
Ode to England.mp3]
Blood? Same blood.
P.S. This was supposed to go with some very cheesy lyrics.
Understanding ajith in a flowchart
Most tamil actors can be summed up like this. Flowchart made during engineering graphics class in college, when i was supposed to be watching an educational video. It’s easy to see that I make good use of the college facilities
Respect, boundaries and national pride.
Rant ahead. Feel free to skip.
” The government cant do anything right. Fuck them. Fuck society. I’m moving to a more civilised place. I hate this dump”
You wake up in the morning and bask in the coolness of your multiple fans and Ac’s powered by electricity generated by the department of electricity. You then take a shower in the clean water provided by the corporation’s metro water. After that, you turn on the TV to one of the channels to see the national weather or watch the news as telecast by satellites designed, built, and launched by Indian engineers. You watch this while eating breakfast, brought to you by the agricultural services. The food has been inspected and determined as safe for consumption by the food and drug administration.
At the appropriate time you get into your traffic safety regulation approved vehicle built and designed by our automotive engineers and set out on the roads build by the local, state, and central departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase snacks, using legal tender issued by the reserve bank. Or maybe you use the public transportation systems maintained by the appropriate bodies, reaching your destination without being killed due to the rules and actions of traffic controllers.
Finally you return home to find your valuables intact without being plundered, thanks mainly to the law enforcement agencies.
The tons of waste you throw on the street everyday is being cleaned, your car gets its fuel, you get your internet connection and manage to survive because of the tireless efforts of millions of people who form this well orderd system.
I for one happen to respect this place. If all you are capable of doing is bitching about how hard life is for you in this primitive little metro, please feel free to get the hell out.
Holy Matrimony
Today, we become one.
Nobody can break this bond, this holy union sanctioned by God.
You do want to be with me forever?
I love you.
They held hands once more, and jumped.
And were lost forever in the fathomless ravine below
