Rate of My Life

70.9/100Rate My LifeRateMyLife.net - Find out if you suck at life

Hmm..apparently my life sucks even more than my CGPA.

Or, in other words, my CGPA is much better than what my entire life (so far) amounts to. (!)

Can somebody please tell me whether I should rejoice or jump off a bridge?

Webcomics Top 5

Or rather, 'My top 5 favorite webcomics*, as on the 16th of September, 2007, 00:00 hours':

#1: wondermark (9.2/10)

#2: hyper death babies (9.0/10)
#3: dinosaur comics (8.8/10)

#4: white ninja comics (8.6/10)
#5: xkcd (8.5/10)

Webcomics judged on the basis of recent funny-ness**, mean funny-ness, maximum funny-ness, lateral funny-ness, graphic funny-ness, graphic appropiate-ness, layman appeal as well as in-joke complexity-ness, philosophically intriguing-ness, screw-commercial-sell-outs-ness and overall kickass-ness.***

I heartily congratulate to all the winners. I love**** you guys.

I'm off for a highly deserved cup of nes(s)café. I'm gonna come back and start mugging sexy sexy words for GRE (ooooh what a sexy activity! just can't wait!!). This is, in all probability, my last endeavor of mindless insanity (or in other words, writing a blog entry when I don't really have the time or requirement) for a long, long time. Or at least, I hope so.

Goodnight.


*Your Ad Here not included for obvious reasons. And it's not dead either. It's just sleeping. I'll wake it up again once GRE etc are over. Enjoy these till then.

**Funnily enough, something which is not funny is funny in it's own way, isn't it?

***I actually went through the pain of legitimately and impartially marking some 60 odd webcomics on the basis of all these, and scaling down their total score onto a scale of 10. It took me 16 hours to complete this task. Now someone better pay me real quick. Or else...

****just a figure of speech. I'm straight.

I wonder...

Have you ever started seeing colors from a whole new perspective?

Have you ever felt things which you don't understand, and perhaps more surprisingly, don't want to understand either?

Have you ever felt that there's something in this world for which you can die, but that the lack of which will definitely kill you?

Have you ever felt the moments freeze when someone just touches your hand?

Have you ever felt relieved from all the madness and the rush that this world is throwing towards you all the time, when someone just smiles at you?

Have you fallen in love yet?

Yummy!

The way to a man's heart is definitely through his stomach.

At least, for me, it most certainly is.

Stumbled upon (well, not literally; more like "Google-image-searched upon") this site depicting the works of Beverly Shipko. Amazing stuff. I hope I get rich enough someday to buy some of his works (well, at least the Strawberry Cheesecake one) and an apartment with a really cool wall (and a well equipped kitchen).

Today's comic is dedicated both to him and a very special person who'd most certainly understand :).

Came September...

...and I still

1) haven't done any work on my DDP*

2) haven't started mugging meaningless words** for getting my 4-year all-expenses-paid trip to the US yet

3) haven't registered for TOEFL even

..but I have

1) realized I'm sexy

2) finished Gunda in one sitting (finally!!)

3) learnt enough French to impress non-French chicks

Yay!



*Dual-Degree Project: One Thesis for Two degrees (thanks to the 'Ek ka Do' offer I got at Big Bazaar some 4 years back)

**A Grotesquely Repulsive Endeavor indeed.

Five things..

..that I absolutely HATE about girls:

(1) When they call you "Dude.."

Yeah fine, it sounds kinda cool when coming from a guy, but sounds more like "get to your senses, you freak" when a girl says this*.

*You have to actually listen to it (under un-preconditioned circumstances) yourself to understand what I mean. Or, for that matter, even an un-preconditioned reply in a chat console will serve the purpose.

(2) When they are out on a dinner with you and they start making strange faces to a baby toddling nearby

I'm paying for the dinner and I'm paying it with time and money to enjoy your company (and the food, of course); NOT to see a retarded kid smile* at your ridiculously retarded facial expressions.

*FYI, they must be smiling at those weird things hanging from your chest or the weird things you've put on your face and eyelashes and lips, NOT because you are inherently funny and/or lovable. (Otherwise, why would they never smile at me when I try to do all that?)

(3) When you say something like "I love you more than anybody has ever loved someone else" to one of them and she just replies "Me too"

Be creative, woman! It takes a LOT of time and effort for a guy to come up with a line that original!! Respect it, at least, if you can't be that creative yourself!!!

(4) Their stupid assumption that any guy is more than willing to have sex with each and every one of them..
(5) ..and the way they try to see and judge each and every little thing any guy does from that perspective.

Oh for God's sake, ladies!! We have our choices!!!!

Grrrrr...

P.S.: As if I wasn't pissed off enough already, I found this video here. I hate animes. More than that, (or rather, more specifically,) I hate bunny-women. Most of all, I the hate jobless chinky buggers with weird fetishes who'll do anything to get a whacky video up on youtube and earn themselves quite a repertoire. This had a combo of all three.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Things They Say

The Ferocious hunter waiting for its next prey

Excuses auto-drivers of Chennai give to justify the double-(at times triple, at times even more than that)-the-normal-rate fares for the great service they provide to their nation (Chennai-istan) :


4-7am: "Early morning, Saar.."


7-11am: "Morning time, Saar..no return sawari" (!!)


11am-4pm: "Afternoon-time, Saar.."


4-7pm: "Evening time, Saar..rush hour heavy traffic..."


9pm-2am: "See the time, Saar..." (I guess by that time they get too tired to let us know what time of the day it is.)


I've never boarded an auto between 2-4am, so I can't really tell you what they tell then. But, to tell the truth, I'm rather happy not to have experienced that. I'd rather spend those two hours on the streets than ask one of these guys "How much?". I have a mild heart-condition, you know.

Oh, and the best one...happened today at around 7.30pm when I wanted to come from Saidapet to Insti; the autowalah straightaway asked only 100 bucks, and this is what I got as a prompt explanation (I believe this is what they say during 7-9pm):

"Happy hour, Saar..." (!!!!!!!!)

P.S.: Thanks to this fellow for capturing Chennai in its true colors (well..to a certain extent).
