I Have A Super Power

Thoda PJ type ka post hai…bear karna…acha lage to like wike, comment womment, share-ware kar dena….nahi to pageview to badh hi gya.

The other day when I ended up watching “The Avengers”, it struck me. Yaar, I think I too have some super power. ….I have been feeling different lately….maybe I have some deep shrouded secret power…. And fact be told, most of the days when I wake up in the morning, I feel like having it in me. The feeling which I cannot put in words.

Wo kehte hain na “Every living being has got a power enshrouded deep beneath his soul, he just needs to unleash it and put it to use”---( most probably said by  Morgan Freeman in some movie). The quote motivated me to search myself inside-out.

and then it started….the quest for the superpower….

But when nothing significant surfaced after hours of arduous soul searching and day-dreaming I decided to have lunch and then have a nap (well, to be frank, my naps last for at least 3 hours, give or take 2 hours, to be honest it is never take). When I woke up, it hit me. Epiphany!!!. Maybe I am a super sleeper.

I then recalled from my previous years that yes, even after sleeping for 4-5 hours during day I could again give an encore as early as 11 pm.Damn, I have done the Herculean task of sleeping for a whole day, 24 hours. I am capable of falling asleep in buses, trains sitting as well as standing. Yeah!!, true it is…I have accomplished the task of taking a nap during a bus journey standing.

So, there I was happy and glee, done finding my superpower.

But then, Ironman gets his power from some nuclear device he wears in his chest, Thor is some God and has his hammer, apna Spiderman got bitten by some genetically modified spider, Batman has his super tech weapons and vehicles and of course his left hand Alfred. What do I have supporting me, my enabler? It then occurred to me at this point; maybe it’s the mess food. It is the holy power source which makes me what I am. After all, I got my power only after entering college, and that’s when mess food started.

Although the following quote has nothing to do with the above matter…. Just wanted to end this post with something strong.

“But with great power comes great responsibility”.

It actually has. Some might associate adjectives like lazy and sloth with me, but only I and few like me know the pain of dealing with “paani nahi aa raha” statements when I wake up late. But I bear it on me, silently, maybe it’s the price I need to pay, and I do pay.

DIARY OF A FRUSTRATED ELECTRICAL ENGINEER

Hi, I’m Charlie. I’m a final year student at MNIT Jaipur. My branch is electrical engg. 

When I came back to college after holidays, I was very optimistic about my placement. I was like “mera to ho hi jaega yaar”. I have good CGPA “branch bhi meri sahi h”. Electrical dude, electrical!!. “core branch hai”. At the time of admissions, I was even getting Computer Sc., but I opted for electrical. People said that it is an evergreen branch. There will never be recession in this field. Me being too naive to understand such things did what everybody advised. There was some kind of slump, a bit of recession in IT sector when I was in first year. So, I often used to mock computer guys.

Fast forward to placement season. ZS Associates is gonna visit tomorrow. The first company. I digged about the company a bit, found it to be a consulting firm and thought “ consulting me thodi jaunga yaar, apan to core me jayenge”. But, as I had already filled the registration form, I had to appear for the written round. Cleared it… Appeared for the case study round…couldn’t/didn’t clear it, because “yaar mujhe to jana hi nhi tha”. I have heard that BPCL is gonna visit in October and my friend who is actually a close friend of BC says “meri BC se baat ho gyi hai”, ace companies like TATA Power, Siemens, Alstom are coming too, but they’ll be visiting late. He advised me to chill.

 

But, with course of time it started getting clear. People did get placements, but not from our branch. Companies did visit, but didn’t hire anyone from our branch. Among all these setbacks, they even said something about Siemens not being open for electrical guys this year and the thing about PSUs totally messed up the scenario.

But, I maintained my calm. At this point of time,

what other branch guys think “tera to ho hi jaega yaar”

what my branch guys think “kisi ka nahi hona, GATE ki preparation kar lo”

what I think “chill, le aa, server banaye”.( let's play CS)

With Deloitte I had hope. But, here I am today, posting “congrats bhai….phod diya…:)” on someone else’s wall and kicking their ass in frustration.

Maybe "It's about time".

"Kyai" Karega

Ghiss ghiss k assignment Chotu,

aaya hai Raju k pass,

“chal ra kya” peene chai?

sawal ka maanga hai usne jawab.

Jawab to Raju ne dena,

haan me hi tha,

magar aaj najaane kyun,

usne kar diya mana.

Bola aaj to me padhunga,

mujhe to jach gyi,

is bar exam me phodunga,

bas aur kuch nhi.

Sunkar ye baat Chotu,

ek baar ko to ghabraya,

fir maamle ko sambhalte hue,

“kyai” wala dialogue chipkaya.               [“kyai” short for “kya hi” pronounced as क्याई]

Bola “kyai” karega padhke,

isme kuch na rkha,

sab to mohmaya hai,

lagta h tune kisi se na suna.

Itni chinta “kyai” karni,

sab yahin dhara hai reh jaana,

ek pal ka jeena fir to hai jaana.

Itni to Raju ne kisi ki na suni,

bola chal chalte hain thaddi,

aaj to "kyai" chai,

meri taraf se party.

Ye “kyai” wale dialogue hote hi ghatak hain,

Raju to do me hi behek gya,

Chotu to sab padh k betha hai,

usko to  "kyai" pata.

Head Fake

Head Fake is the thing when a player moves his head to fake a change in direction.

 Usually this term is used when people talk about football.  Those who follow this sport may know it well. I came to know about it only after I read the book “The Last Lecture”. On a football field it is unquestionably of great purpose but if you want to know how proficiently it can be used outside it then you got to watch this video:

Well of course  the video spans about an hour  and you will have to watch till end to get the meaning, but it’s worth your time.
