His breath propagated stink,there was filth inside him. Monster waiting to unleash.
Never was he like this. He lived like a prince once. Bestowed upon
himself , whom he called friends.
Then an angel appeared, with not pity in her eyes but care.
A healing touch freed him from his sins.
was he worth it?
Food is probably the only thing which all of us can relate to nostalgically.whom iam i kidding?almost everyone loves eating.But then a very few take it to the extremes and consider it a religion. And a fraction of them follow the Philosophy of "live to eat" rather than "eat to live".i feel no shame to say "yes, iam one of the rare few".Eating is the only thing i remember excelling in from my childhood days.A bean bag(read:huge tummy) is what i fancy from my hogging habits.Luckily my mom has a passion,that perfectly suits my needs.The greatest cook in the world and the greatest hogger in the world is the best combination aint it?.Tripping on the flavors of her cooking is an regular addiction to me.Over the years i have never seen her enjoy what she has cooked,but rather feel happy seeing me enjoy it.Being a vegetarian she cooks the best non vegetarian food without even tasting it.It was a time when i enjoyed her cooking and she enjoyed cooking for me.And when you just thought it was one more of the bollywood flick of happily ever after.There enters the villain.And the villain in this story is apparently the cook of the hostel i live in.The very definition of food is tampered by him.Give him something edible and the he by his grace will turn it into something un-edible.skipping breakfast,lunch and dinner by a guy who used to eat every hour is a little sad.Tripping on the flavors is merely turned out into a struggle(yes thats what eating for me has become) for survival.
Nevertheless there is still hope,a dream of some day escaping from this world and turning into a cook\travel show host.getting lost in the world enchanted in it pleasures.Sipping on quality wine and hogging on Meat delicacies from around the world.
But life is surely is ironical thinking about all the good stuff has sure made me hungry and the realization that a session of torture awaits me.So iam off until next time adios.
P.S:inspired by Tony Bourdain: No Reservations.
Lifes a journey, a journey of discovering who you really. A never ending search of the so called "truth of life". The journey takes us places makes us happy, sad and a million other emotions. At the end of it all lies the realization,all my life what i have tried being is some one else.All the things i liked was partly just because some one else liked it.The thing i forgot was all in the struggle to be Tom Dick and Harry, the person who was forgotten was "ME". To all my effort all i had become was ME not some one else.
As for the journey,its a struggle between you vs rest of the world.If any one who would win or lose,it is you no one else.i dont know whether evolution is true or not,but one thing Darwin was right."Survival of the fittest" Only a few are good enough and the rest fade away.
All the time spent on impressing every one is just a waste of a time.What really matters is accounting for your self.In a selfish world all it matters is about being selfish.
P.S(a list of them actually): This is too philosophical even for me,so please bear with me

Life is real? or
just another mirage?
Is there child in every one or
are we all children
Is the Earth rotating fast or
did we just beat it?
The time when we where carefree
will it ever return?
The battle of survival
will it ever end?
Will growing up mean to lose
all the things you loved and cared?
will those days be back or
will it just be a memory?
A dedication to Shreyus, Ajay, Yousuf , Prashanth(not a Vagite but my dear friend) ,many more from Vagashram and those good old days
It funny actually how i still remember those days as if it where yesterday. A place called Vag Ashram(Vag=tiger in konkani),named after the lecturer there Vag Sir,a tution the heart of Carstreet, Mangalores prime location.It was a time when all we cared for was coffee at taj(TajMahal fav hangout spot for vagites) and a game of dota at TigerDen(td a cyber in carstreet),and all that we feared was the Tiger himself.For all we knew we had everything to gain and nothing to lose and the feeling that these days would never end.
Fast forward two and half years into the future all that is left is a few pics,a awesome video(thanks Ajay),a CET rank ,a college seat and loads of memory.
Lifes all about Moving on,finding new pastures and conquering new lands, Nitte definetly has been a joyus ride new friends, new hobbies and new challenges. With things in the fast lane all you ask for is a day , a day when we where the rulers of the world.Back then, every Sunday each one us of would be present at Vags without fail.But in the past 2 and half years not even once, a time has come when we all where together(i mean each and every one).All that i want now is a hour together in the middle room of Vags , a coffee(funny i never had coffee there in those days) and Mushroom masala in Taj and a 20Rs prepaid game in TD.
Taj has been shifted from carstreet due to lease issues and Td is closed for good due to some reason
Once upon a time we had it all we where unstoppable and finally we did get stopped

Ignite is an annual fest of the information science department NMAMIT
The beginning It was around august we(me Vinay sir and Karthik) started planning for the fest.
Although i had nothing to do with the planning ,i was aware of what was going on and that practically makes me a part of it.Then came the website i did turn out great thanks to karthik although i did do much of work on it,i loved so many people praising me for it :)
The events Ignite this time around was scheduled for 3 days from 25-27 septempber with 13 events.I was like last time given the in-charge for mind benders the crazy event.I was expecting quiz this time,and it was disappointing as quiz was assigned to some one else(Rahul).But i was in for a surprise as Rahul did allow me to host the quiz.And then there was also the online quiz which was going to be held first time by any 1 in Nitte.
The preparations
i)Mindbenders needed no preparations as such,as i already had become an expert in this ;)
it took me just 2 hours to come up with the finals.And also thanks to Harikrishna for the premlim questions :)
ii)Although i was thinking a lot i did not come up with any questions for online quiz,but my contacts did come in handy.Varun(Food for thought) and Devadutta(Boiledbeans) help came in handy.But the real help was vigneshwar,a final year student from college he sacrificed his own chance at competing and submitted many questions for it
iii) Quiz was a daunting task as i had never hosted a quiz before,and i was struggling to get quality question.Thanks to Rahul all the preparations were done fine
The event
i)Online quiz was first from 18-21st September and it was a grand success. With more than 150 participants did make me proud
ii)Mind benders and quiz was scheduled at the same time,So Karthik was supposed to be taking care of Mindbenders.After i came back from quiz i saw most of the people stuck at question one.
The participants calling me crazy made me really happy
iii)I was facing a crowd for the first time and i yes i was scared a lot.But it turned out when the quiz started the hall had less than 15 people so i was not even a bit nervous.although the stage began to fill soon i had caught a rhythm.The greatest complement cam when Rajat(one of the best quizzers in Nitte) came up to me and told me it was one of the best quizzes in Nitte :)
I would like to thank Vinay sir for the wonderfull Fest and also all the people who made it a grand success
Why doesnt anybody wants to take a pic with me?No photos clicked of me for Ignite :(
