Well, this was the first time I went on mega shopping this year and pretty likely the last one too...
I had kept 16th evening as my shopping session since two weeks. I reached FORUM at 4:10pm. i remember the exact time since I paid the parking fee...hehe.
From my previous post you know I bought PUMA shoes. I didn't buy much stuff but never ever did I buy stuff of the top brands. I bought Speedo swimwear, Lee Jeans, STOP shorts...blah blah blah...And all this was over by 4:50pm, wasn't I quick???
Today was not special for the things I bought, but because it was the probably the last time I went shopping with my parents with them paying up. I'm pretty sure, while in college i would manage with whatever I have and then when I join up some firm, I'll be the one shopping for my parents..I cnt w8 for tht day..hehe

Buying PUMA shoewear.....wowwwww......not advertising it....
Well, I had been to FORUM today to buy almost about everything from my briefs to my sport shoes for taking them to VIT.
I decided to buy my shoes first.Initially I had planned to buy something from Adidas or Nike in a budget of about Rs 2500. But when I entered the Adidas cum Nike cum Puma outlet dere ( U dont find such shops, not in Cal atleast), I literally fell in love with a PUMA shoe...it was red and white..really cool..really amazing...and I couldn't resist it.Though I had little hope of dad accepting it, I still asked for it...and guess what, he agreed...I was on Cloud No.9 (well not really, but still very happy). Owning a PUMA shoewear meant a lot. Well I overshot my budget by 1500 bucks. But then maybe that was one of the cheaper ones PUMA has to offer...hehe...
Now, I feel like sleeping with my shoes and wearing them all the time..hehe.
Now the sad part, I saw a PUMA shoe worth Rs 12000 and well loved it too..but ya..no point in asking for it ...hehe. But I'm gonna wait for the day when I could buy those too.

Hutch Loyalist....Had to surrender connection today
Today morning, I sent a mail to Hutch Customer Care requesting for closure of my Hutch account. Its been five years since I've been a Hutch loyalist and today when I sent that mail there was a strange kind of grief with parting my connection.
At Vellore, I'll have to take up an Airtel connection as Hutch isn't active there. Its a strange kind of feeling that comes in when one has to part with seemingly "unimportant" things. Anyways, the mail was sent and my account will be closed within three working days after the payment of all dues.
This might seem like surrogate advertising.Maybe it is even....But then I've loved Hutch...their network,their service and of course their advertisements. I'll really miss being a Hutch subscriber at Vellore.

Happy Rainy Day.........hehe
Today I woke up at 7:20am...just to find out that the lanes near my building were all water-logged. And well I wanted to be brought back to my sense by my mother but I found the substitute for it, thanks to the heavy thunderstorms.
Wowwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It rained really really heavy. It was very much welcomed after the sweltering hot and humid days Calcutta had been facing so far. To my information, it started raining from 3'o clock in the morning. From the newspapers I gathered its a cyclonic depression....but who cares...All I'm happy about is that it rained and rained heavily.It kept on raining till 11am and I did get wet in the rain as usual..but I was alone..so wasn't as much fun as it is with friends.But still I'm happy, I love to see water-logged streets. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Well, the rain did bring its share of bad luck. In the morning I found out my modem was busted due to lightning. Condolences to my dearest modem lolzzzz. Also, I realized my mom wouldn't allow me to go to Chowringee to buy posters for my hostel room. But then didn't matter much. I'm outa cash and wouldn't have been able to spend much on them. And as for the modem, I was lucky. I lodged a complain with Tata Indicom Broadband (advertisement intended, I've loved their service) at 9am and they got the modem replaced by noon. That was quick, wasn't it.
So all in all, I loved the day. The mercury has dropped and I didn't have to wash my clothes.
Happy Rainy Day....hehe

Washing Clothes......
Well till date I had never washed clothes, not even a handkerchief. But with the days of my "independence" approaching, my mom forced me to wash my clothes. First was the demo session, I was shown how to wash my clothes and well I seemed easy. Then my chance came...and man was it difficult!!!!!!!!!!! All I was asked to wash were my shorts..just one..and it took the life outa me. Brushing it,then banging it against d floor then putting it in clean water multiple times....Its so boring and such a shit work...I feel fluid dynamics was easier and more interesting than this...hehe
Anyways,hopefully I'll get better at this...or else I'll plead to the warden to allow me to get a washing-machine...loll
As for now...I'm just chilling till tomorrow when i would have to wash even more clothes.

Counting Days.....Leaving Home....
Its less than a month a left for me to join college and with this fact I got to accept I'll have to leave home. I'll have to leave my parents....who even though weren't d coolest ones...but surely the most caring ones. I was never apprehensive about joining college and starting off with my new life.
But today don' know why, I'm feeling a bit down about leaving my family. The sorrow in me is making me weak, but not weak enough to break down. I know its a fact that someday u got to leave the protection of your parents and well...my days have come. I have accepted this fact but still it gives one a shock.
I realize my life will never me the same anymore. My "childhood" days are over.Never again will I be this close to my parents again. Now my B.tech, then job and then my MBA...Nd well after that I gotta settle down in life. Never again am I gonna stay with my parents. Life is gonna change forever now. Maybe this is happening for the better...this will make me know the society better and face the world with much more prudence. I know this is gonna make me better.
But still, leaving your parents ...accepting this fact does hurt a bit.
Well, ain't crying but sure there is an extreme amount of grief in me...
To end this post, I'll put up this quotation:
"Leaving home in a sense involves a kind of second birth in which we give birth to ourselves."

Endless Night.......by Shruti....
Readers the poem given here isn't mine but by my sweet friend Shruti. I haven't taken her permission to publish here but I can't help it. Tonight that I remember someone very dearly and thinking about what's gonna happen when we both choose our own roads, this poem describes the best, the feelings in me.
ENDLESS NIGHTS
- Shruti Rai
Wasn't it just yesterday?
hands in hands we walked our way.
But today you are nowhere in sight,
to tell me that everything is just alright.
Your voice like music rings in my ear,
your face in my mind is still crystal clear.
Your memories make me smile in my dreams,
though soon they turn into sobs and screams.
Only little while ago we were so near,
with you by my side there was nothing to fear.
My heart is full of grief and shame,
Life itself is death it seems.
You left me went so far away,
there was hardly anything that I could say.
Everything between us was a second's delight.
What remains behind is just endless nights....
Hope you don't mind, Shruti.

Making It Big.....be SELF MADE
Till today, I had always believed people like Bill Gates, Lakshmi Mittal, Dhirubhai Ambani are of one off cases who made it big from Ground Zero. I had always thought that inheritance had to play big role in making it big. I had never dreamed of making it to the Forbes list.....never ever...though I've always dreamed to make it big.....he he
But somehow, donno why...I decided to check the biographies of the Top 55 in Forbes List of Billionaires and guess what....at least 40 of them are self made and 10 had inherited small amounts but since then have grown.I'm amazed by the fact most of them came from mediocre or poor families....And this instilled a strange kind of self confidence that i can do it...I can and will realize my dreams.
Maybe all they had..was a vision..a dream...and I've the same....and the thirst to serve humanity.
Bill Gates had promised "a computer on every desk and in every home" and he has done this. I don't think he much values him being at top of the Rich List.Had it mattered he wouldn't have started the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and given a fourth of his assets as donation to the warren Buffet Foundation.
The world no.2 Warren Buffet and no.3 Carlos Slim Helu have also taken up serious efforts to serve humanity by their foundations and very very generous donations.
I have learnt one thing.....its not I'm "over-ambitious" if I say I wanna make it to Forbes List. But to achieve this I need not love money, I need to care about human kind and humanity. No doubt they had amazing business sense, financial planning and management, but what helped them to make them what they are is their morals. They have always stuck to their morals, may not be in their business commitments but for sure towards humanity.
All these facts are gonna have an impact on my character,my behavior.
I can't say in which all respects i will change...but I sure will change...
One more strange thing I noticed....In the Top 55, most (more than 40) had three children. I guess why??? I'm really freaked out by this fact....and somehow I don't wanna accept it as coincidence. I surely feel there is some kinda relation.....hehe...Anyways, thats later...so aint worrying about it.

Couldnt watch Oceans 13 today....
I so wished to see Oceans 13 first day first show. But I guess..it wasnt to be.
the tickets have been priced Rs180 minimum. And I aint in a position to shed that amount of cash right now. Had I been to the movie, I would have been seeing the movie rather than writing in here in my blog. Anywaz, I guess I'll have to wait for a few days..till the prices drop..after that I'll watch it for sure.
Its final....I'm a VITian now....
Well...all my certificates were submitted today..and my hostel room was allocated to me....
So...its now done....I'm gonna study at VIT .....the next four years.....the most important years of my career...
All I hope is these years go 5n..and I turn out to be a successful engineer.
Now I'm praying that I get a bunch of good roomies..who don't really bitch against me...he he
As for now I havnt had a talk with any of the ECE students there..nor any ECE fresher.
I hope I know few of them before I join in.I have acquainted myself with some of the seniors and freshers from other streams but havent really made strong bonds of friendship with them.
Hoping to make lots of friends,once I join in
