Living on a budget !!!

The past month I Spent quite an amount of money. At no point I realized this. One day I avai checked my balance statement and was very surprised to see the sheets. It was more than my normal expenditure, almost double. So I decided to cut down my expenses and spoke about this to my girl friend. Asked her to help me out in this and she readily agreed also. To start with I gave away my debit card to her so that I do not have access to money all the time. Secondly I need to give a rough budget about how much will I spend every week and according to that she will take out money from my account and give it to me. I am also expected to write down my expenditure, for analysis.

And now I have been doing this for the last two weeks and trust me, y expenses have gone down to almost half. I never thought I can survive spending so less :). All thanks to my girl.

So all you men out there, if you want to save some money than seek the solution in your girl. She will surly help you out. But, beware, it might just turn totally opposite also. What if she takes your credit card and goes on a shopping spree ;).

The choice is yours.

My choice dint let me down !!!

Life is so chill nowadays. I literally do nothing. Just go college and come back. At home i just sleep or use net or just talk about stuffs to friends. I do have work pending but ..... who cares!!!

Like last evening my flatmate and me decided to booze. He was like I don't booze much because my stamina is less bla bla... So we decided to booze together and in equal amount. Got some old monk rum, and he was out very soon. My another flatmate came home half drunk, and could not resist taking couple more pegs of rum and he too was out. Literally out!!!

Even I was high but not totally sloshed. Spoke to a old friend about stuffs we had never spoken about. And then went and slept. Now when I was going to my room, I realized I too was pretty drunk, but unlike others I gulped down even the last drop in my glass :) .

Anyway, I have a long day ahead of me, planning to give a aimcat today and then in the evening OCTOBER FEST!!!

My internet connection was down was three days and what to say, it was so... so bad without it. Come on, internet was become a very vital part of my life and its not only me but millions of people for whom it is as vital as air. Seriously, the world today survives on net. 50 years back who would have thought that there will be something like INTERNET and we would be so dependent on it. But for many of them out there the debate is still on about whether it is for good or for bad.

Trust me when i tell this, many people still think that giving net access to children will spoil them!!! And by children i mean students who are into final year of their engineering!!! It's like crazy, they are missing on a lot.

If that is not enough, listen to this- My college, which happens to be an engineering college does not give us an option of using internet anywhere on the campus!!! They claim of having a wi-fi campus and all that hot-spot poo but the students have not been provided with an id to access it.

Sorry for sounding a sadist but all this really lets me down. We have a technology which we should make best use of and is easily available also but people, wow, they just don't want to come out of their cocoon. Just like to stick to the old, less efficient way of doing things.

As for me, being a net addict....well not exactly an addict but being so dependent on internet, I had to get a separate connection so that my work gets completed on time and in a more efficient way.

And mind you, its the best shortcut for socializing and networking which is so very important now-a-days.

Obviously there are some negatives, but its on us how good a control we have on ourselves and how we make the best use of it.

Old Story, Old style

Main Aur Mrs Khanna,

For some reason I expected something from the movie but it turned out to be total dud. The concept is problems in married lives, confusion etc etc. There is nothing in the story that will keep you inquisitive. The acting is not at all great. It's like everyone was in a hurry but had to pull out one movie so folded up scenes as quickly as possible and here is one movie which was total disappointment. My advice- SKIP IT.

Three days Diwali holidays and college again from tomorrow. This time Diwali was like never before. I don't know exactly how to term it, bad or good but it was.... I don't know. After many years i actually celebrated Diwali and for the first time with friends. I have been with friends on Diwali but never celebrated. The people with me are my new friends, not exactly new. I have known them for more than 3 years now and used to interact with them also but still used to be a little away, may be because I was involved in other activity and with other people. But now I find them pretty nice. Ya, there are few things which are annoying about them but I think thats with everyone. May be I am a bit nosy about things.

So... came diwali and went, one of the biggest festival for Hindus. And like all the time I did miss y family a lot. And the three days holidays I got for diwali was not utilised as I hoped. I thought I will study a little but studies just not happen with me.

But in these three days my like for music re-appeared. It did not disappear but had changed. It was like I used to listen to music but still not listen to it.

And one very funny thing happened today, I was talking to a friend of mine about some stuffs and joking around about stuffs and from somewhere something about dating came into talks. Surprisingly for both we agreed to go on a date sometime next week. This girl and me dint get along a lot in my first year of engineering college but now in fourth year we get along. Just hope my girlfriend does not make an issue out of this.

And today I also planned out a movie with my girl but had to cancel because both of us were not really excited to watch some movie. But since it has been some time since we both really went out somewhere so this Wednesday we planning to go out somewhere and my votes is for a town Magadi. It's a small village in rural Bangalore. Lets see how it works out.

Adios...

Here I am again, done with my internal test. I did pretty good in them this time but I am not proud of them for some reasons I cannot put here. And right now I am too drunk to put anything substantial here. So I will be back when I am more sane. For now GOODNIGHT!!!

Its been so long since I posted something here, its not that I have been very busy but somehow i dint manage to. And in this time so much has happened and is still happening on which I would love to comment on and give my views. Apart from the worldly stuffs, a lot has happened in my personal life also. Last vacations I had an awesome trip to Kurushretra and Amritsar, celebrated my birthday in Goa and Bangalore both....etc etc. But skipping all that, lets move with time now.

Oh shit!!! I forgot, I have my exams next week. Guess I will be out again for more time. But when I get back next week after exams, I will try my best to be regular.

Before I say bye, one thing... Nobel Peace prize to Obama!!! WTF!!!
