Two of my very favourite songs from Fort Minor.
You can say what you have to say
'cause my mind's made up anyway
I'm taking thehigh road going above you
this is the last time that I'm gonna trust you
You can say what you have to say
'cause my mind's made up anyway
all that bullshit you talk might work a lot
but it's not gonna work today
This is 10 percent luck, 20 percent skill
15 percent concentrated power of will
5 percent pleasure, 50 percent pain
And a 100 percent reason to remember the name

Gokul's gokarting with chennai buses...
This describes the journey back to IITM from vandaloor zoo.
Date:04/09/2010
Persons Involved:gokul,Bala,Manikanta and karthik (I am obvious)
PreScript:Before starting to the zoo ,inspite of the repeated assurances from Manikanta that we will be back in insti by 4 PM, our pal goutham was busy with some acads work and couldnt turn up.So he finally dropped off.But it was me who was jumping with joy on the sidelines as i was planning to play football that evening after a long time.
But what exactly happened was we were back by 6:15 PM thanks to some quick feet thinking by gokul..What actually happened was
We started return journey from Vandaloor zoo around 4:15.Caught a bus.BPC was sleeping at the front of the bus and we were all at the back.Then suddenly at one stop gokul said this is where we should get down.We just followed him and did what he asked to do.We all got down and dragged BPC out of his dreams and he too got down...
BPC acted like as if he was forcibly put into a dream by gokul(inspired from inception) nd he believed that all that he was dreaming abt in the bus was reality and we getting down at that bus stop was THE dream.
Then gokul realized that we have to walk for a short while from the bus stand where we've got down to get share autos to insti..So we followed him till thr and we all realized very late that "a short while" meant for 25 mins.Then finally my long spell of puzzling trying to understand BPC's bamboozlement was solved when we were taken to the bus stop by where according to him we will get buses or autos to the insti ( i mean IIT our destination).The bus we got down will actually pass through this very bus stop/point what gokul was telling all along...
That's the reason BPC was unable to accept the reality that we got down at that bus stop not this and the funniest thing is he knew this all along..But it was gokul who he have to object against...And he just couldn't.
So all hail Gokul...

Chicken or Egg ......
Disclaimer: All the comparisons and qustions raised in this blogpost are completely apt and valid. Any disapproval from your side will result in your prohibhition from this blog premises.Beware. If you are not part of the Gogu batch you would just be as bamboozled as an IITian sitting in an arts class :P . You are forewarned.
I am sure you might have heard of the Chicken or Egg Syndrome at some point of time.I ve recently started thinking about one such phenomenon.
CATerpillar palnned a family day on 22nd Aug ,Sunday where I can accompany two of my family members.I ve asked Goutham and Manikanta to come along with me which they straight away accpeted.:P And arrived the Sunday where we have to be at the office by 10 15 and I've informed the same to both.
It's 8 30 and i woke up both of em.I woke up goutham once again by calling him at 9 when he said he woken up and getting ready.I HAVE to be at the office by 10:30 to fulfil the transportation organizing responsiblity for an hour.I can't afford to be late in that sort of situation.
So I've went to my room from insti and got ready by 10:10 and called Mani."Deyy come fast we have to be there by 10:20" shouted on Mani. Cometh the occasion cometh the man.
"Rey goutham is just going to bathroom " replied coolly manikanta..
From then I've been thinking seriously about this
Alak or Punctuality? Which came first, Punctuality?, or is it Alak?
The Three Musketeers from Alak time and time again did this.They will always go to the bathroom the moment WE (including me :P) reach the bus stop.I wonder when they are gonna change?
ALAK or PUNCTUALITY?
PS: After reading this everyone will satrt anti campaigning against me saying that I am too always late, just like our accused Indian Politicians do.I beg you all not to believe them.
