As the sun sets on the western horizon of 2008, and a new day of 2009 beckons , as memories fade away and come back in a harmonic motion, time calls for a farewell post.
No obviously I'm not going to talk about Chidambaram, Bush and Harman Baweja. There are qualified people to tell you about them.

January was the month when this blog thing happened to me. For the past couple of years all I knew was blog comes from weblog. Then unfortunately came across some blogs which was reluctant to talk about anything other than PM's actions and Cm's inactions. So while I was ready to shed the wish of having a blog, there popped up certain blogs which had the 'why so serious?' message on them.And thank God for that.

I have realised that I am at my best behaviour with my parents during exams. Thats the time when I don't have the leisure to fight over whats in breakfast or lunch, why does the paneer curry taste like horlicks, and why does she have to give away all my coloured chalks to the maid's son.

Something needs to be done with these so-concerned mobile service providers.Vodafone has this message on the backside of its recharge card which says Register your number at xxxx.com to get rid of telemarketers. But what about the nuisance they themselves create? Its quite a confident shaker when run around your room trying to find your phone or jostle to open your bag in crowded bus only to find that the caller asking to set Himesh Reshammiya's croonings as your caller tunes.

Kyunki .. has ended and and with it has ended people's favourite game of guessing Ba's age. Big Boss was about watching people holidaying after being released from jail and now we have Big Brother too.My cable wala released back zee cafe and studio after hijacking them for over 6 months.

To my bro: Though we have scratched and kicked each other lesser this year, it does not give you the liberty to torture me with your guitar practice and exhausting our download limit with your games and other similar useless stuff.

Rediff predicts that the tech industry will the fastest one to recover from recession.

Harman and Emraan will be back with their new movies, Rakhi Sawant and Chunky Pandey will continue to be judges, Mtv will continue to be crappier, the likes of Mayawati and mulayam will continue to rule , Ram gopal verma must be thinking about his next venture.
So, as you can foresee, there are enough things to be afraid of the coming year.
The Loksabha elections are coming . And if I don't manage to lose my voter's Id card, and if my booth is not rigged, I might be debuting as a voter!

To anyone who's wasting time reading this, have a happy and prosperous year new year !

Enough of my croonings about no-net show. I'm kind of assured that whatever education I have received till date has not gone waste, completely.
So, in between cursing my service provider and tossing coin to decide whether to go to a cyber cafe or not, I decided to check whether the connections in modem were fine or not. Obviously the connections were fine. I'm not that dumb that it will strike after 3 damn weeks. But what went wrong was the copper oxides deposits which were blocking the contact between the phone line and the modem port. A few rubbings with a brush , insertion of the wire and there glows the link in the modem !

Inbox full of 'How will be 2009 for you? Dial 12345 @ Rs 9/min to know' messages tells you that new year is round the corner. New year means getting a year older, one more semester less for college to end.
While flipping through the pages of a magazine , I came across this astrology section , which says 'Know what 2009 has in store for you'. Its no wonder that in times of recession temples are doing better business than before. So here's what is in store for me:

1)Get married this year because your spouse will bring you loads of good luck and happiness-
Anyone , with similar predictions?

2)Students will have a bad time as they might have to discontinue their studies-
I mean why? I do pay my college fees, don't see chances of expulsion, will not be entering Miss India contest or Roadies or Indian Idol.
Ah well, if I may comply with the first option , get married in a family which doesn't allow girls to study after marriage like in those daily soaps, then its quite possible. Duh, I should stop uttering crap.

3)Your friends of foreign origin will do you good in times of need-
I do have friends in foreign lands but of Indian origin. So extending the definition of foreign origin , should I expect the likes of ET or Jadoo to help me out?
2009 seems to an exciting year !
