I blog the least when I actually have things to blog about.
Like this year’s JUDE BA Admission Test. 2420 applicants, 48 rooms, a bunch of volunteers, complete fun.
Weird answers (Swine is a synonym for Influenza apparently)
Candidates sitting in the wrong rooms… as usual.
The event would make for a really long post.
That’s probably why I don’t post when I have things to post about.
Also R.I.P. Michael Jackson
It’s making me play Caesar III all the time ( I am a Procurator now 
).
It’s making me completely disinclined to study.
It’s making me make random stuff like this
Summer Doodle
I’m going insane. There’s no other explanation for all those retarded colours.
I am feeling really restless. I think I’m stuck in a rut. I want to get away from here. I want to go on a trek. I want to backpack, hitchhike and generally be king of the road.
Everything is making me want to travel. Durgapur seems a very small city suddenly. Kolkata is not appealing much.
I want to travel!
Instead I’m stuck here wondering about my endsems and listening to music very loudly.
Stumbleupon recommended this site. I randomly opened it and found a post by some guy on how to repair your Guitar hero controller. I think I can guess what his job online is.
Do you find your Whammy bar sagging down, pointing at the ground by the end of a fast strumming song? Would you like it to stay stiff and near your strum bar, like the white arrow in the photo to the left?
It even has the bolded text that is such a common feature of spam.
I’m now sure that if I’m at home on study leave I will blog like crazy. Witness the rash of posts I’m making. It’s not like I suddenly have many things to say. It just seems like the most interesting thing to do.
I’ve opened all the windows in my room. There is a strong breeze blowing outside. The area around our house is very peaceful at night. I think I’ll go to the terrace after some time. I will climb onto the roof of the stairwell. We used to have a very nice view from the terrace before the surrounding houses came up. The roof of the stairwell now has the best view.
Our house is almost at the end of the development area. If you look in one direction, you’ll see the rest of the houses and the streetlights. The streetlights are my favourite part. The opposite direction is pitch dark. You might see the headlight of a passing vehicle, but otherwise it’s all dark. Beyond the trees you can see light. The trees provide the perfect screen and the light streams over their tops.
There’s a building coming up some distance away, so now if you look in that direction, you can see the lights from the construction. Another direction, you’ll see sporadic lights from different houses.
I love this place.
In the year 2007, I had nineteen posts in April and nine posts in May. In 2008, I had seven and ten posts respectively. I guess that’s because in April-May 2007, I had finished my boards and was supposed to be studying for all those various entrance exams I was supposed to be give. In 2008 however, I was giving my end-sems in April and I was just too lazy in May. April 2007 was my most productive month. I had nineteen posts. I will have maybe ten posts this year. Yes I like to keep track of all the number of posts I have, thank you. I have one hundred and seventy three posts. I also have one thousand two hundred and twenty two approved comments.
The Times of India has been irritating me for some months now. They have stopped capitalising the ‘i’ in their editorial pieces. It is very annoying. I find it very disturbing. They have also started using the word ‘alleged’ and they also italicise it, to add emphasis it seems. Jug Suraiya wrote an article about this in the TOI and they published it. I like TOI for doing that.
Today afternoon, I dozed off and in my dreams I kept hearing Electronica, Drum & Bass to be precise. I think it was because of the sounds coming from the construction site nearby. I find it quite interesting that my brain converted those sounds into beats. It was a nice, uptempo track. I’m pretty sure I hadn’t heard it before.
Random shit :: MTV’s tickr horoscope said “Today will be your best day of the week”.
I’ve run out of things to say.
psst… In case you’re wondering where the answer to the post title is, look in the address bar.
I’ve been reading Shaw’s Don Juan in Hell all over again.
My favourite part is this one…
Hell is a place far above their comprehension: they derive their notion of it from two of the greatest fools that ever lived, an Italian and an Englishman. The Italian described it as a place of mud, frost, filth, fire, and venomous serpents: all torture. This ass, when he was not lying about me, was maundering about some woman whom he saw once in the street. The Englishman described me as being expelled from Heaven by cannons and gunpowder; and to this day every Briton believes that the whole of his silly story is in the Bible. What else he says I do not know; for it is all in a long poem which neither I nor anyone else ever succeeded in wading through.
Heh heh
I went for a walk in the morning as I planned. It was an interesting walk. I walked for about forty minutes. It was a lot of fun.
I also washed my room today evening, and washed the dishes. I think boredom is getting to me.
In other news, Facebook informs me that a friend has sent me a Golden Retriever Puppy and I can “Pet him here”. I assume they mean the Golden Retriever puppy and not the Friend.
It’s five in the morning and I am unable to sleep. It’s possible that the evening coffee I had was a bt strong. It is also possible that I woke up at eleven today.
I think I’ll go out for a walk soon. Perhaps that will help. The crows have started crowing. Surprisingly the street lights are still on. They’re supposed to switch off at five. I guess they’re confused by the light streaming from my window.
It’s not like I haven’t stayed up this late before. There have been many such occasions. Once I stayed up because I was watching all the episodes of Friends that I had on DVD.
Friends reminds me of an episode of Mastermind India where one of the contestants chose some seasons of Friends as her subject for the first round. She did fairly well. My favorite contestant was the man who chose The Adventures of Asterix as his subject. He did an excellent job, scoring 31 in the first round. I did better, scoring 32. I was at home unfortunately.
I wonder why they canceled Mastermind India. It was a brilliant show. It was also a lot of fun. To hell with all these modern quiz shows with their astounding amounts of prize money. Bring back Mastermind India
Psst… I wonder if I’m developing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have started using American English, just to avoid those irritating red squiggles. I must change the language settings to English(UK). I also wrote Obsessive Compulsive Disorder because WordPress was putting a red squiggle under OCD. I just used OCD. I don’t have it. Yeah!
This happened about three months back, when I used to get up in the morning and go for basketball. I still get up in the morning, however I haven’t played basketball in a long time. Anyway back to the show…
Now when I said I get up in the morning and go for basketball, you might have got an image of me leaping out of bed, rushing through my morning activities, putting on expensive sports gear and dashing out the door. Perish the thought. I would drag myself out of bed, sleepily brush my teeth, wear whatever t-shirt I was wearing the day before, pull on a pair of socks, wear my shoes and trudge to the University.
That day I went through the same routine. I got there at around 6:45 AM. Everything clear so far? It’s 6:45 AM. I’m wearing shorts and a Tee. My hair’s uncombed. It’s 6:45 AM. I’m wearing shoes and socks. All right, let’s move on…
Rukmini and Priyanka turned up sometime later. We started cursing the Mancha for being late. He had the basketball so we couldn’t even start playing. So we were sitting under a tree, waiting for him.
Many people come to Jadavpur University for their morning walk. They consist mainly of Old people, Middle-aged people and young lunatics. These people will walk around campus four or five times. The Old people will sit down and start chatting, the middle-aged people will head off to work, the young lunatics… I don’t know what they do but I assume they go off and indulge in nefarious activities.
Anyway, Around 7:20 AM I’m waiting near the field, when this old gentleman barmy old codger walks up to me. I’m thinking “Oh, here’s an old man coming to ask for directions”.
Here I must digress. It seems to me that I get asked for directions a bit too much. I don’t know if I’m imagining things. probably I am. I also seem to get asked the time of the day a bit too much. I wonder why.
So where were we? Ah yes, The old guy is walking up to me. So he walks up, looks at me and then asks…
Excuse me, Could you tell me where I might find someone who could tell me about Jink
.
If you’re thinking I was startled, you’re right. I was. It’s 7:20 in the morning. I’m very sleepy. And here’s some old dude asking us about Zinc! I wonder why he chose us.
We politely replied that perhaps the Metallurgy Department could answer whatever queries he had about Zinc. This old man then went on to explain why he wanted to know about Zinc. Among other things, it was his opinion that there was tremendous potential for Zinc in India. “There is only one Jink plant in India” he said, “and there is great market for Jink.”
So far he hasn’t made any sense. I don’t know why he was talking about Zinc. And I don’t know why he chose us to expound on his views about Zinc. I am fairly confident none of us had a sign saying We Love Zinc or Zinc or Zwim. And yet, he insisted on talking about Zinc.
By this time Sandy had arrived, and he had no clue what was going on. He stood behind the old man and kept making weird gestures. And I had to try very hard not to laugh.
Finally the old man left after having freaked us out completely. And then we spent the rest of the day talking about Jink-Man.
And Jink-Banana-Man. But that’s another story for another day.
And remember, there is great potential for Jink in India.

The following things can be interpreted from these two graphs.
These are the inferences that I draw from this data.
