This is dedicated to two special friends from Pilani. Missing you people and the last panel is just so apt.

PS: I hope the folks at Questionable Content are kind enough not to kick for stealing this.

Ashok comes up with a brilliant Facebook version of Mahabharat.

One of the best recruitment ads I have ever seen. Go check it out here.

During my Pilani trip, I happened to be in Sky for the farewell session of EDC – and the one for Vernon. I was so fucking depressed. He had joined EPC during my psentisem.

Am I actually that old?? Gaping Void comes to the rescue!!

In the true BITSian way.

The Wagon R incident, Gurgaon – Pilani – 201 kms – Nagin style, Bansal eating acchar at the first stop, chai, Disco Dancer – On the road, Curious Incident of the dog and the kid, Dhunga, Rice and dal at C’not for lunch, the Potli Baba joke, 100 Pipers, Music nite – ok types, BC at Chaithu’s place, MMC, OBC, Pachirka joke – Pappu’s immediate response, Breakfast at UCO redi [Modi getting despo], Ojas’s “Aath ke thaath hain bhai”, ‘Secret Farter’ caught, Todu question: to roll down ur window…clockwise or anticlockwise?, Bansal’s item on BOTTLE MAT BAJAO, Jhajjar mein 45 minutes, ek nukkar se doosre nukkar!, Rosy Pelican ka dinner, Bansal , Ojas and Modi at peak of items, Modi guiding to the wrong road in Gurgaon, Gaadi ka increased pick-up…

Ojas: Aap ka kya andaz hai Sirji, [long pause, everybody’s wondering what he is gonna ask] … Gudgava kitna door hoga yahan se?
The man giving directions: Peechpun kilometers!!

Bansal’s item while asking for directions…
“Abe ye to peeche chhoot gaya…aage chal…agle waale se pooch lenge…”

And finally – the batch of 2005.

Have uploaded some snaps from our current Pilani trip here. More from Bansal’s cam later.

Meanwhile, here is the best one.

I might possibly go to Pilani over the weekend. Last went there in April and am kind of missing that place.

Meanwhile, I have decided that Simon & Garfunkel are my all time favourite non-Indian musicians.

Also, happy birthday dude!

.. and Tendulkar is still teaching.

I had said some time back that Tendulkar seems to be on a recovery trail, and the genius has not let me down. I am so damn glad that he has proved everyone, including me, wrong. Now only if he gets that 42nd century thing behind him and goes on to score many more.

Some gems of poetry from hindi movies.

Likhte rahe hai tumhe roj hi magar
Khwaishon ke khat kabhi bheje hi nahi, nahi
Ainak lagake kabhi padhna woh chithiya
Ankhon ke pani mein rakhna woh chitiya

~ Gulzar, Hu Tu Tu ~

Chalte chalte mera saya, kabhi kabhi yoon karta hai,
Zaameen se uthke samne aakar, haath pakad ke kehta hai,
Ab ke baar mein aage aage chalta hoon,
Aur tu mera peecha karke dekh zara kya hota hai.

~ Izajat ~

Jab Nasha Tutataa Hai, Kitne Tukade Gire Hain
Hosh Chunane Lage Hum, Hum Bhi Kya Sar Phire Hain

~ Phoonk De – No Smoking ~
