That would be a really llllllooonnnggg story…To cut it short, I am a 20 year-old Bong who has been to places,literally speaking-Arunachal, Assam, Uttaranchal, Chennai, Mumbai,U name it!!! I have a huge friend (most of them acquaintances, i would say!) circle transcending all the seven continents (Yes,I also happen to know a scientist who’s doing his research in Antarctica!). You must be wondering-Bong=Scientist/Engineer/Doctor?
Well, I hate to say you are right! I hate to stereotype Bongs but cumon, we thrive on our intellect more than anything else (not that I am complaining though!). I often think even our prospective brides gauge our intellect more than anything else-Aphrodisiac in a way!!! Now, I am from the Brahmin community which is regarded as genetically ghotu (atleast in earlier times), though that gene has gone into a dormant state in my case-genetic anomalies/mutation maybe!!?? Among other things that a Brahmin is supposed to do is marry a girl from the same community else the wrath of God shall befall on him-atleast that’s what my grandma used to say!!!God bless her soul!!! I remember how my Mum used to remind me the same when I told her my crushes (Call me a Mamma’s Boy if u want…) as early as the 10th standard though she has given up on me now!!!
I like to meet new people and make new friends though I am not particularly very good at keeping in touch-every1 will vouch for that!!! I live life to the fullest sans drinks and smoke… I am a die-hard romantic: None of fellow college mates have seen any of the copyrighted poems/short stories which i used to write till I came to Pilani and immersed myself in books on seismology,structural dynamics, GIS and logging technologies!!! Yeah,I am a Civil Engineering student in one of the best technical institutions in India-BITS-Pilani and I am terribly proud of it!!! Hey, just in case you haven’t noticed none of the topics I mentioned are courses in BITS (except GIS !)-just to remind you all that I love learning new stuff and hate course books (well,most of them!).
Well as far as my personal life is concerned, I have “failed terribly”-That’s what I have to hear every time I call my gud ol’ school friends up-“You and single!!!”. Well friends, I am single!!! I must say I have a few crushes like most of you-a recent one which I was pretty serious about but the kinda work i am involved in is pretty time-consuming-No time for love (Hahah-I know tat’s a dumb reason…)
Academics-I hate standardization! So concepts like CGPA, SAT,GRE etc. sound like crap to me…Maybe I am an idealist!!!I am involved in premier research on Wireline logs in Prytz Bay, Antarctica and fuzzy modelling of seismic waves among others, under leading scientists in IIT-roorkee, NIO and NCAOR apart from BITS…Some of the work is being reviewed or has been published in leading international journals/conferences…I love my work and anyone interested in geotechnical or environmental research areas is especially welcome to provide his/her inputs….
Well tat almost sums me up to the level of 5%…Watch this space for more…
he is the biggest loser on planet earth, but still a wonderful human being and a great great friend.i dunno why but moulik is one of the ppl i miss frm skool, a lot… he is a gem of a person. though i pull his leg a lot, am rude at times, but i dun mean it.. i loved r little meet at IIT B, it was really nice. i hope to c him again v soon!
Nisch, I am so touched I feel like crying 😛 !! As far as the loser thing is concerned, I must remind you what John Lennon said once-
“Part of me suspects that I’m a loser, and the other part of me thinks I’m God Almighty.”
So we all are losers and god in some way!!! Finding out “How?” is the road to success!! Will meet you soon….
Hi..
well, i must say i`m pretty impressed by your fundas..n i must add that your profile is not just pretty interesting but rather amusing as well..hoping to visit this site more often….
Thanx, I sure hope you do!!! I sometimes wonder if Blogs were created to receive compliments/outcry on your thought process or to just jot down what you think in the virtual world rather than on paper!!! I am not complaining though, as long as i keep receiving compliments… 🙂
Nice post, Sec ! You should write more often 🙂
