On How the Meaning of "Lesson Learned" Changes After Exams

I hate to quote someone. Anyone. And i hate starting MY blog post with somebody else's words, because at some point in my life(i am sure), i had the exact same thought, but nobody quotes ME. Therefore, i had to write something before i start, otherwise my post would have looked like this-


"..blah blah blah....follow the omens...blah blah blah.."
-Paulo Coelho, in "The Alchemist"
Well friends, its time i take a cue and implement those words(fyi, i am already doing great with the blah blah part: not so good with the part in between though). Now, what better omen to start with than MSTs result.
Unsurprisingly, i flunked 5 out of 6 of the tests. But, i also scored 22 out of 30 in T.E. So, the omen unambiguously says that i suck at EE, DCS, DSS, SA and CMWM rock at Transportation Engineering! Now comes the the next question- what am i gonna do about it? Every big project has a small beginning, and i have decided to start my project from our college. All i need is some space, and since our collage is running short of that, i have decided to tamper with the road leading up to girls hostel. (what are you gonna do about it? strike? good luck!)
That is my long term goal; right now i cant help feeling sorry about all those people who feel sorry about my result(reciprocating a sentiment comes naturally to me)-i feel sorry my parents, my close friends, my acquaintances, facebook friends, but most of all, i feel sorry for the two unsuspecting people in the obscure town of Phillaur who have been receiving my results' report card sent by my collage to my home address,which i filled out wrongly(yeah, i think that far ahead) at the time of admissions.
Meanwhile, my heart goes out to those poor soul who suffered a waterless day at the hostel: i can not(don't wanna) imagine the stink discomfort you guys went through.
As for the think-tank, we are thinking about expanding. I told them i got a head start as i have already put on a few kilos in last few weeks, but they said it won't count!
We have already discussed the shortcomings of the last events, and feel we are better prepared for the next one. Hope you are reading the official incognito blog as well. I'll have a post there as well, as soon as they let me.
Got lots to do, and so little time..
Its the incognito insider, signing off..
Till next time.. cheers..!!

with AHBHIYANTA2010 behind me, and MSTs ahead

Some girl told me that she liked my blog and i was so happy that i started the rain dance. You know the rain dance? It looks something like this-(i m the one in white, the snap is from INCOGNITO 2010,the rain dance failed that time )


This time, however, the rain dance was successful: now half the pakistan is flooded and its an international crisis..!(my life is a series of weather reports gone wrong- for details read my facebook bio).
So, India sent 20 million dollers and i sent an apology letter to pakistan. But being smart, i sent it anonymously, and i sent a copy to the chief of the army in case he decides to take over the country before my letter reaches there. And i stopped blogging for a while. But now that the rain's stopped, it looks safe for my next adventure.
All this time, i have been busy asking people if they have read my blog! I even asked the shopkeeper down the road, and ended up giving up a half an hour lecture on the uses of internet and how to download..umm...stuff. The only question he had was if one needs to know English? Then i just paid him and went home.
Meanwhile, this incognito insider played pivotal role in the success of ABHIANTA 2010. i helped aalisha find her phone, served tea and samosas to the chief guest, sneaked out some ranging rods from survey lab to put up the poster and (among other similar things) conducted the CADD test. It was fun because no one had any idea that it was going on, so i called my friends sleeping at home and lured them into the CG lab on the pretext of getting attendance.
The civil dept. spent the largest amount, and i alone am responsible for one third. I went to ask HOD to ask if he could get us second and third lecture off and he convinced me to hold a painting competition- it cost us a lot and the winners are yet to receive the prize. I told them their painting was prize-less, but they didn't find the pun funny! And we still didn't get the lectures off.
All jokes aside, our HOD is a nice guy. I m sure you'll like him, unless you see him jogging: THAT might give you nightmares. And he happens to be the person i admire the most in the institute. He's an absolute novelty.
I gotta go, MSTs are lurking just round the corner(that means the day 36 hours from now). I apologize to those who had inconveniences due to my rain dance; sorry, couldn't control it! i'll c ya during the MSTs. Good luck, especially to fellow think-tank members- i know how desperately need it.
later..

Its unofficial! things are getting stranger..

The official incognito blog was launched today, and i would give you the link as soon as i find it. Incognito is a big phenomenon, and being a part of it is privilege, and as with every perk there's always a responsibility. But there's not denying that we get out share of fun. This blog is about an ordinary guy stepping up and finding weird things on an average basis. This is about me making sense of the chaos that is taking forever to get sorted.
By the way, i feel i should do one of those disclaimer things they do before a really bad movie of serial(i am not sure what are the rules for sucky blogs though), so here goes:
Everything you are going to read may or may not have taken place inside or outside the mind of a tortured DAVIET student who spends his classes thinking football and cheerleaders. This blog is not to be trusted even at gunpoint(like the blog, the gun's probably a dud too). If you find objectionable material here, do not be distressed: go to bean-o-mania, get a cold burger and put an end to your miserable life(whoever says free advice never hurts anyone should read this).
That being said, i must clear why i am here: It is my pride and pleasure to announce that the only reason i am here is because i read somewhere that there's an award called "The blogs that Sucks" and i want to win it more than Inder wants to top my class! sorry, you don"t know Inder, my bad!
Anyways, i hope you don't report me to anyone, coz you know an impo(r)tant member of faculty said i am not supposed to make people laugh(did he mention "in the class" or like "ever"? i don't remember!)
Hope you don't read this. And i am telling you beforehand that i will NOT refund the time you lose by reading this.
Till next time. Cheers!!
