its a cruel world...or is it just me?

well another day passed away..just another 24 hours of time that has been adding to my tally of hours i have got to live on the face of this planet! and that is a cheerful thought as i am seriously starting to worry about myself a lot! :(
why am i studying something that doesn't help me in my life? i mean...all right, i love computer science...but not this mundane and monotonous syllabus that has been prescribed. i want something more innovative, something that will make my imagination flourish! my IQ of 140 is going down the drain! :(( i am not showing off...i am just saying something that has been inside me for the past 2 years!

and the main problem now is that why do people ignore me? its not just me thinking in a negative way...oh no, it isn't! i know the people who like me and accept me as i am are the only ones who really care about me... the others...well its those that i care a lot about. typical murphy's law executed i believe! i used to buzz people online hoping to get a reply...never happens...as usual they just say "hi" and cut me off later.
i am used to it now and have learnt one very valuable lesson from all this : NEVER EVER SAY "Hi" to anyone who usually ignores you!
dont wonder who it is, as u already know that those are the very people who u always wish are going to be online.
i dont believe in forcing people to talk to me and i dont want to use some colgate toothpaste and charm people into talking to me either! :P :D

sad that my mom fell ill last week... but it helped me in introspection! i avoided the internet for a while...i didnt come online on yahoo msgr or gtalk... and funny i never missed it much! :)
my parents matter the most and i know that u will say that its the same with u...but think again...dont lie to urself...whenever u r online chatting with ur friends u never bother to go out of the room and talk to ur mom in the kitchen..help her out with stuff... or do u ever go to talk to u dad about his work? no... am sure u dont!

just look beyond ur computer and the internet...the whole world awaits u...try talking with people face-to-face...its mucho more better than "lol"-ing and " "brb"-ing...

ok...am talking like a cynic... am not one...its just that i have written...sorry...typed what i wanted to... its upto u to criticize me or to applaud me! :)

the weather is...

The weather is making me jot this down(the mosquitoes as well! they r reminding me tht they r present everywhere especially below the table!) . I am from chennai and i have never crossed south india but once! so i am pretty much happy with the humid weather down here. but what am yet to get used to is the sudden increase in the annual rainfall! i remember the extremely cold(for me anything below 18 degree centigrade is cold!) months, november, december and january, they used to make me sleep till 8 and make me late for school! :) but now its not just the cold its also the rains which are making me late for college! chennai has never received so much of rains... i think i am right in saying that it started exactly 3 years back! the year when the tyrant Veerappan was shot down! :) i still believe that the Forest Gods showered their blessings by showing chennai some mercy.
They also helped me in a way as i had a chemistry exam cancelled because of heavy rains! :D
but now the rains have started decreasing and this year was pretty bad compared to the previous. :(
I believe that we should learn a bit of Rain Dance from the Red Indians and do it once every week! and i guess no indian city is suited for rains. chennai is a prime example...roads flooded and long power cuts and trees falling everywhere! :D the brighter side is schools and colleges closing and better water supply during rains!
oh well here i am boring u all to death...am sorry...just wanted to vent my stupid thoughts here..hope i dont get any weirder! :P
au revoir ppl! :)

Am i part of this generation???

I still cant help wondering whether i am still part of the present generation! i mean... i am not like the other guys of my age group. Or is it that i am growing mentally in a rapid manner?
A few points to be noted would be

1) I dont use a mobile phone and neither do I find the necessity for owning one! what is the point of having one anyway? there used to be just one mobile at home which was being used to call up my brother in allahabad and though i accept that i used the mobile, a lot, one year back, i don't do so now.
everywhere i go i see ppl talking on the phone (girls seem to be busier than the CEO of Google!) or messaging. agreed that mobiles have their advantages, but this is just plain murder of technology! Alright, u have a mobile? fine, keep it in your pocket all the time. don't use it at the dining table or when in class or when someone is talking to u. It is so GODDAMN irritating!

2) why spend unnecessarily? i mean when u can get good coffee at some nice tea stall or good ice cream at local ice cream shops, why should u tag along to just fit into a group and end up at some horrendous place like coffee day or Barista? these shops know that there would always be the rich bums, waiting to spend their parents hard earned money in their shops, for a small cup of caffeine! tell u wht? go home, ask ur mom for a good cuppa and if possible try inviting ur friends over once a week for coffee! ur place is as good as any café, in fact, better!!!

3) eating joints! oh maaan!!! this is exactly what is ruining india's economy! westernisation in a completely destructive way! ok a burger costs a dollar or so in the US...so that doesnt mean it should cost the equivalent amount over here! 40 rupees for 2 slices of bread? or some raw vegetables with some cheese? please! i cant think of anything more expensive than these.

i could go on like this forever and ever! but am getting more and more fed up with the way ppl r spending these days. too much of westernisation and too much pocket-money! i never used to have more than 10 rupees when i was in school. and that was to be used only for emergency purposes like a tyre being punctured or stuff like that. i managed to live through, didn't i?

this is exactly what sets me apart from ppl of my own age group and earns me a name..."Weirdo", "Geek",etc etc!
anyway i don't care abt being named in anyway as long as my message makes atleast one person to think about what i have said!
