ELF - Cartoonist ?

Alright Guys ! I dont know how it hit me but here's it for a start!

As equivocal as my blog has been, so would be my cartoons. If i ever continue, that is! : ) Anyway .. too much of listening to "What breaks a heart" might have had this imagination come to my mind right now. I promise, it'll have some humor later on. LOL, if you dont laugh at this again! :P

Beyond this turmoil , I must Flee!

Of all that we are seeing, and yet to see, its HIGH time we make choices of expanding our community to Moon or Mars. I agree with Stephen Hawking. We should be establishing colonies on Moon and Mars. We must avoid Earth as catastrophes like nuclear war / climate changes / natural disaster are bound to make living extremely difficult. Read the link above and there are such great insights , rather plans.

- Moon , the base to other planets of the Solar System. Sounds like a pretty decent Space-Hub!
- Mars would be Google's GRAND DATA CENTER spot.
- My dream of working on Inter-Planetary Networks would come true, possibly, if i get hired.
- Every Country would reserve the place for their "just in case" situation.
- Rich would be out of earth on vacations , and perhaps reserving their lands too.
- Poverty / Gravity on earth - both are inevitable. Rich would escape them, of course!
- A day will come, the Capitalists would have a different planet!
- There would be inter-planetary relationships, a new name to long distance relationship. As an outcome of that, people would grow more into telepathy sort of relationships, than physical! inter-planetary relationships!
- Slowly earth will see a brain drain.
- Geniuses vs Patriots! WAR!
- Pollute the Solar System.
- Some other Professor somewhere in one of those planets would be planning for an outreach toward some other Galaxies.
- Who gets the right to escape earth first ? MONKEYS too ?

Uff , i guess i am simply making some noise here. But anyway the endless possibilities is interesting, isnt it? We think NOT about problems that we could solve , but about ways we can escape those problems, "just in case" ! Bravo Humanity!

Whoops !

I must have been in a disarray. Nothing can stop me write. Not even ME!

Met some employers and one of them on the interviews asked me more "Music" questions than technical ones. He was wondering how we listened and played American Rock music living in a country Americans(He) don't know about. Even the impression led me for a follow-up interview and who knows a job right away. I told him i was looking for the prospect than the job that was in hand, as i was over qualified for that.

Yes, Kansas City was fun. We had been there on the day of the match when Kansas was playing against North Carolina for the Final Four NCAA College Basketball. I supported Kansas City (no-1 seed), of course. And the same day, we had the college basketball experience at the Sprint Center. I was all sweat! There was this newly opened bounded place called the Power and Light District in downtown, where all we did was cheered up Kansas. There were like 2500 people around, boozing! Couldnt have been more fun!

Forgot to mention, we visited arts and museums. In fact, TWO. The art at the museum totally inspired me, cos it was all history reflected. I must say, i must have been old enough to actually be liking arts and orchestras! At a different place, it was the contemporary arts and guess what! Three Colors on a Canvas, and thats an art. : ) I hated starting off with a decision-tree based story written on the wall at that place, apparently cos it was a detective story and i ended up being killed.

Anyway, it was fun . Good thing, Kansas won the NCAA title in the finals, two days later. The City is all Basketball! And, yes, i do love basketball. No offense to my paunch today, but i was a member of the Basketball Club in my High School. And i played real hard, despite my height! :P I played late night indoor soccer yesterday and i was all panting on a single run on the field, but that was solely for fun and assessing if i lost my stamina completely or is there any chance, i can regain some!

The only thing i havent been able to do, this week, is synchronization. I cant synchronize my "TODOs". I cant synchronize my protocol! Synchronization itself would be a dissertation topic, and i am taking much time even for a work around. Anyway, hopefully, i get synchronized pretty quick with the research, as i did with my blog!

No . This isnt ending so soon ! You gotta bear me more.

An Inspiring Quote i read on the Museum, inscribed in the building.

The Soul has greater need of the IDEAL, than of the REAL

I guess this is the end!

I have really been foot slogging recently. I guess, this should be it! I am no more updating this blog , but will be coming up with a new one soon. A new blog and a new idea of blogging. Not just regular life of yet-another-boring person! No, not a soaker every time!!! Sucker! ( Literally, though! damn! :) ) There is this trend of showing off your blog to your employer recently. See, i blog about tech-stuffs. And look at me. I blog about my recent what/where-abouts! If they read my blog, they'd find me a psychiatric, for sure!

To me blogging was to get rid of a girl i thought i had in my mind then (trauma). Gradually i turned my trauma into a drama! My blogging turned into my work-rants! Then, again a student and life's so stopped! Life doesn't have quite interesting turns except for parties, drunken nights and hangouts. I mean, same old people always! :D Too much Sugar is sweet " bhanchha " - " Mero ta sugar nai khojnu chha ! " I prefer two and a half teaspoonful (if you got the math in that.)

Aba sarhai jhau lagyo. Mero Student Life pani is on its verge! So, with some changes in life, i plan to come up with a total different view! BTW, Birthday pani audai chha , ani i guess i will be past mid-twenty then. That's yet another reason i guess i'd be having some sort of a "DECENT" blog.

I dont mean, i am quitting writing. I dont mean, i am quitting blogging. I just mean, i am quitting ELFTRAUMA.

A little into what is ahead for me within a month or two or three or four!

- Filed my tax returns today so expecting to get 'em and rock with the money within few weeks.
- Traveling to Kansas City next weekend for a short trip.
- Applying for Summer Internship ! In Parallel finish off my research work.
- Waiting for my punk brother to arrive before i set off for a California Trip.
- Waiting for July - to finish off my age this year. lol
- And yeah, play on a concert coming September.
- and FUCKIN' GRADUATE this august! HELL YEAH!

So, see ya when i see ya ppl!

?

Choose your life. Choose mates. Choose a job. Choose a starter journey. Choose insurance, priorities, hair-styles, drinks, sacrifices . Choose a Happy-Go-Lucky Personality !!! Choose your future with the present .

But why would anyone want to do a thing like that ?

Started with this very Notion! I can clearly see the end of this!

* Have been Listening to Classical Composers as Prokofiev a lot recently! Even went in to see live Orchestra and they play so well, live-disciplined music. Got the tickets for a Grand Violin Concerto with an Orchestra next week. They make you feel good, They are ALCOHOL!

March Madness

On Greed, Flu, Condoms and Anthropology!

Yet another interesting title, and hope will help you keep on coming to this blog as long as this blog lives!

Let me start with Respected Mr. Gaikwad. Sorry, if i misspelt your gender. You needed an advice as to whether Nahr Ibrahim genuinely wanted to make you a partner on his $15 million dollar asset. Look at your covetous eyes for money! I bet, the money is all you saw in that email. And you think, your 9-5 salary + investment on some shares made you such great "man of affairs" that you've started getting offers! LOL. Please go ahead, and make your trip to Hawaii as wonderful as you can ever DREAM of. And thanks for the visit to my blog though. : )

My finger still is wrapped, and i went into the health center to grab some more band-aids. Just then, i saw a basket with a note " Help Yourself, Get Rid of Flu! ". Not exactly Flu, but i have been sneezing a lot recently. Grabbed one bag, and it contained all i required. Lip ointment, Hand Sanitizer, Cough Suppressant sweets, some pain relievers. The sweet was sweet, what more could i expect! :)

One of my friends immediately grabbed some condoms from a bowl near the reception. Free, and Condoms! Why wouldnt anyone grab one! :D When we came out of the building, i wanted to have my share! LOL . Asked him, and he gave me 2 packs.

It read : "Antimicrobial Alcohol Gel Hand Wipes". "An Antiseptic Handwash to prevent cross contamination". "Warning: For external use only"! LOL , believe it or not, never had i read words with such attention.

And finally, weekend starts having finished a movie! "The Nanny Diaries". One of its lines, that just put me into complete thought, i wanted to share on this blog.

There's a common belief among anthropologists that you must immerse yourself in an unfamiliar world in order to truly understand your own.

Seven!

Wonder Why Seven?

Thumbs, lets say, they're good only for the spacebar. And with my left-hand-index-finger still dressed on a band-aid with some antibiotic ointment, I have only Seven left to write this up. LOL

So, whats up with me ! Have been hitting the bar too frequently these days with friends, free pool, darts (not free,lol), wasting lots of money but earning a little more than earlier as well. Thats right! More Money from School! lol.

Let me talk about meeting my wonder woman at a lab recently. She's Chinese, and so cute. :D Talked to her a little. Like, what do u study? And then, nothing more : ) Man, i've been such an asshole that i cant even ask a girl her name the first time, and all i can do is, when she's not on her desk..go to the computer, see the username, search the university address book, get her name, search google, and find out her last university attended and current status. LOL . Could have found her relationship status, if only, she was on some social networking website!

But anyway, primarily, thats the point where i am stuck at right now. I know, she smiles whenever she sees me, at least greets "Hi!" and i do the same. But i wouldnt want to talk further without knowing if she's SEP or not. (Someone Else's Property). I mean to say, a graduate student whos on the extra mile PhD program, would probably have been married by now. I base this theory on seeing some of my Chinese friends, almost all Occupied.

Anyway, one fine day, i am gonna chase her down her car, onto her apartment and peek in through her window. Kidding! :D , i would probably see if she hangs out with someone else more often.

ELF, if she is single, then its YOUR GAME! AHUM! YEAH BABY! lol

Anyway, tell u what. If I really dream about her in some minutes now, its all about her smile. It KILLS! :D It fuckin' Kills!

And writing on SEVEN fingers couldnt be more easy thinking about her!

Why do i blog when drunk ?

I am not a good blogger. I blog when i am drunk, and it proves, i got nothing to share when i am not drunk. Anyway, it doesn't mean, i drink less. I frequent less even when i am drunk.

I sang on a karaoke bar today. My all time favorite "all my loving" by the Beatles. The song might have sound like a typical Asian singing in front of the whites, but what the fuck should i care. I think, i meant what i sang, and it was all good with cheers from my friends. I have totaled singing it thrice. Once in my schooling, one at my college, and this time around in a bar with lots of beautiful chicks.

I had my first stage performance in US, and i credit it for all the drinks i had.

I feel good, and i feel drunk, and i feel like blogging before i let this feeling go off me.

I love you, music. I love you, life!

2008 - a year after 2007

What important is 2008 to you?
To me: is just another year ahead.

People make new year resolutions for the upcoming year. We made a 5-day trip to enjoy the last few days we had left for 2007. 2008 starts from today: so what!!! I may even remain without partying for the start of the new year, but man, how can i miss 2007 who was just leaving then. Now that it has left, i have memories hovering; which again is sure to fade. The last few days: I created those memories. Those were good. A Good Break off all the semesters-work, research-work and what not!

Btw, the good news started with my paper being accepted for publishing in the IEEE and the semester ending: having completed all required work. 4 people, collected friends to visit, places to crash into, rented a car and zoomed off to a trip to the south. Friends wouldn't know until last few hours that we are crashing at their place for the nights. Lots of Reunions!!! Music Fiesta!!! Professor Bashes! Location Bashes! Historical Places Visit! Man, i don't know how to start.

Let me point out in brief with keywords. I know, i am that kinda person who would read this blog at some time in future and smile over the time spent on these words.

We started off at Friday. Musical Party, Wichita, KS: I played saxophone for the first time ;P (at least got a picture taken). Jammed up with my friend after like 8 years. He had instruments more than i have girls! whatever that means! LOL. It took us some time to leave Wichita as we had a flat tire. Later on came to know (after a wait for around 2 hours for the AAA to come) that it was only low on air and the cold caused it.

Visited universities, everywhere we could. Of course compared it with ours. On probability of seeing girls read novels by the fountain, and us being HAPPY seeing plenty of them around: i rank "University of Central Oklahoma", Edmond, OK, the best.

Norman stay was wonderful with barbecue on chattu's place. Location bashing continued then, each promoting their own city for the other to visit. More interestingly, the discussion concluded that there was nothing on both cities, giving a blow to Arts Center, Museums and so on that might have been on those cities : but least interesting to us.

Then, we drove further south to Texas : the land of the cowboys. We landed in for some cheap chicken biryani and tandoori: at some Indian restaurant in Texas .. oh damn!! All the time, i was skeptical about the birdie being one of the black kind. If you remember the movie "run". That was highly probable because if we had that food at our place, it would cost at least 2 hours more work with my professor. Dallas was fun! Meeting Friends was `funner`! Pulchowk Campus Reunion was the `funnest`.

Some interesting improvements over our previous trips:
- Had alcohol every night on every halts. Had so much fun talking and meeting people that there were no hangovers the other day.
- 4 People : 4 Drivers !!! A lot comfortable for all of us.
- Met lots of friends everywhere.
- With a GPS navigator, driving was a piece of cake. (though there had been discussions when there was a MAP ERROR, not software error! )
- Visited lot of universities ( Three in Oklahoma state only , UCO, OSU, OU).
- One of our friends discovered a unique idea of photography. [ Take at least 3 fast snaps on a single pose, and chose the best out of those for `facebook` ] .
- Had a nice jam up with a long-time friend. A nice comeback for our fusion concert, which we still dream to perform sometime in future.
- Friends we visited and them getting jobs! They were lucky we were there! :P

Back to Omaha, and went to a Chinese Buffet. Man, that was awesome! New Year Day, and the chinese were selling out! We had to wait for 5 minutes for a table.

Long Live Memories of 2007!!! (as if)
and Happy New Year 2008 to All! ( how could i forget)
