Feel aa gayi!

Today's strip is dedicated to the one and only Mayank Kachhwaha aka Loda-ji (one of the finest bass players India has ever produced), who made my day by giving me the Video Recording of the L.S.Ganesh concert (which, in all probability, is my last public performance here in IIT).

Thanks dude!

Amazing Feats

Literally 'lost my mind' last night. After some wild partying, a couple of bottles of good ol' Kingfisher and quite a few generous shots of Smirnoff, came back to my room and suddenly realized that the inside of my skull is feeling rather empty. Scared the crap out of me. Went looking for my brain along the wing corridor, even downstairs all the way to the cycle stand, thinking all the time when was the last time I used it, when realization dawned upon me - I could still see, remember things and, most importantly, think! How could the brain be lost? Hehehehe, how silly.

Don't know how long the 'hollow feeling' lasted (or how I made it back to my room from the cycle stand after that hysterical bout of laughter that followed my 'realization'); am feeling fine now, thank you very much. Couldn't get any sleep though, so was surfing the web when came across the great deeds of this French man. It needs talent for a person earning less than 150k USD pa to cause a 7 billion USD loss to his company (that's like almost 50,ooo times his salary!), without standing to earn a single penny from the entire process (as in, according to whatever has been discovered till now). This guy has to be a genius. Imagine if only his 'direction of genius-ness' was pointing to a direction favorable to his company.

And oh yeah, YAH's back in town. Rejoice. Applaud. Drink and make merry.
Today's strip wasn't created with anybody in mind, but, well, am dedicating it to Monsieur Kerviel for his amazing feat. Please don't mind, bitches.

Yenjoy.

It's back (again)!

Yay! YAH's back!!

And, the award for 'Most Sensational Inspiration (Male) for Today's comic' goes to my good friend cum room neighbor cum Pacman God Jinnu Adarsh Kumar; without those 'waka waka waka'-s coming out of his room 24/7, this comic wouldn't have been there.

And, yeah, I sincerely apologize for this long gap. Was busy with exams and shit like that. I'll try to be a bit more regular now.

And, of course, wish you all a belated Shubho Bijoya.

Ciao.

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 :).

The Bombastic Idea

This is what inspired in me the idea of app-ing to Israel, as expressed in today's comic.

What's app-ing?? Ask any IIT-ian doing an MS or a PhD in any university in a country of your choice. Nobody can explain it any better.

And, of course, I have nothing against the US. It's a sexy country filled with sexy people and sexy opportunities. May the Force be with the US. I love you, USA. Please don't bomb us too. Or help others bomb us. I don't want to die a virgin.

Ciao.

Inspirations

Yestreday's comic had a three-fold inspiration: this, this and, of course, this.

The absurdly spine-chillingly dark humor of Dr.Strangelove is something that I can only attempt to recreate, but never succeed. Hopefully no one does in real life. Ever. Amen.

We'll meet again.

Chak De!

Went to see Chak De India today.

Lovely movie. Was kinda getting that heart-warming "proud to be an Indian" feeling at the end of it after a long, long time! They should make more movies like this. Hats off to the cast and the crew. No out-of-the-blue songs and all (though the background music was, at times, a bit too much), no uncalled for overtly sentimental shit, production quality of a level which one expects from such a sports-oriented flick, not too many filmi gimmicks...Indian cinema's definitely coming of age!

I give it a cool 8.5 out of 10.

P.S. Some problem with blogger's image uploads, it seems. Couldn't upload today's YAH. Sigh. Will do later.

A Happy Day

Today's strip is self-explanatory. Check out the "mouse-over text" if you are bulbing too much (Hold mouse-pointer over picture for sometime. Some text will appear in a yellow box. That's it. Not exactly rocket science, you see.)

It was a very happy day alright. Wish all days were independent of each other. And all days were happy. And that my keyboard survived at least 10 more months. Sigh.

And, yeah, I know nobody reads this blog, but still, wish you all a very Happy Independence Day.

Now go back to work.

Elective Blues

The incident that inspired today's comic took place, as you might have figured it out already, in my 6th semester. We had to choose an Elective in our department, and it turned out that only 1 of them was related to Circuits (Integrated Optical Circuits and Devices)! I'm not going into the debate as to whether it was actually a circuits course at all; all I want to say is that, as far as I remember, the Communications guys had at least 2 options to choose from, and guys in other departments had some 3 to 4.

All these things coming back to me, of course, thanks to the tremendous harassment I had to face in the Humanities department recently, where I wanted to take my last course, a supposedly Free Elective.

Life isn't so cool at times in this place. Especially when people with inflated ego come over at the helm of things and start dictating terms which contain little logic.

Compared to the bitter taste that the recent turn of events left in my mouth, even the not-so-hallowed corridors of ESB look so much better!

Ah, the twists and turns of life...

Complicated things

I'm loving the Your Ad Here experience.

The theme for today's strip struck me when I found my keychain at ESB (which I thought was as good as lost), and I came outside to find the leaves on the trees swaying and swinging, as if with a joy that was also a part of my soul.

And, yesterday's strip was actually dedicated to someone. Don't worry, she'll understand :)

The strip's a poetry, I tell you, which, sadly, some of you will never be able to comprehend. It's so very personal. Not that it matters to me, though. Those who know me know it very well. I seldom do something for something else in mind.

Apart from that, felt nice when I went to a class today, after such a long time. (Not that I've been bunking too many of them; they kinda started today for me). One of the last few courses I attend here in IITM. Never knew would get sentimental over such a thing.

I'd never understand my heart.

Your Ad Here begins!

Yay! Big Day!

Your Ad Here launched. You can find them here. Got carried away a bit and posted a bonus comic along with the inaugural one. Hope you won't sue me for that. I don't have any money.

I'm not too happy with the layout on blogger. The images are getting shrunk too much. Hoping to come up with a solution soon. Any suggestions?

And yeah, of course, wish you all a very happy friendship day! :)
