Random thoughts of a random guy

Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali, Id, New Year, etc :)
Isnt it great when multiple festivals occur simultaneously!
Moreover even Halloween is just round the corner!

Don't look too far ahead, it may hinder your vision of the present.

Still feel lazy to resume actively..

Have cut down heavily on orkutting and chatting as well.
This place isnt good for me :P

I happened to be on the Khar train which suffered from the bomb blast. Was in a bogey 3-4 bogeys away from the one affected. There was the blast, the train stopped, people panicked and jumped out, initially there was a lot of confusion regarding the cause of the blast. Then saw the bogey which was blasted. Went there, the scene was quite bad as everyone knows. Tried helping out a bit, in terms of lifting the wounded and so on. Implored near by people from buildings to call ambulances and the like. Then saw stretchers coming. Decided to move on as was quite tired because of a night out the previous night. Walked a long way and then finally reached home by getting hikes and walking. The stench was with me a long time and the images and memories will be there for a very long time I guess....

A whole lot of friends are graduating this year (some have already gone). Well, am feeling senti currently :(. Well, this group of people rock awesomely and had and still am having a lot of fun with them. It does seem right now as if things are going to be a lot more dull after these friends move on. Wishing all of them the very best in all that they be doing.

hazeldusk and kashyapp have already posted about koldongri.
So I won't go into describing the place. My favourite set of photos from the place are
available here
That is in addition to the photos already posted by pdot and hazeldusk.

Wishing everyone a very happy Vishu!

Between attachment and detachment, I am currently tending towards detachment,
And between action and inaction, towards inaction.
However, this is just the current snapshot, and I keep swaying from one end to the other.

Yesterday there was this great PAF "Kharashen" by Hostels 6,10,13 and Tansa. I first heard the script and
my comment on hearing the script was, it seems okay but everything depends on the execution. And boy, was
it done beautifully. The lights, choreo, voiceovers, performances, prod, everything rocked!

PAF: Performing Arts Festival. Its a drama++

Update:
PAF has a wikipedia entry here

The weather was really pleasant today, with mostly a slight drizzle and quite cool.
In the evening when I went to the lakeside, I got a great surprise, there was a
double rainbow to be seen in the sky!! It was really beautiful. There was also a good
breeze blowing and the setting sun was also a real pleasure to see! Some pics taken by
Aniruddha with his mobile phone camera are put up here. The double rainbow is not seen
clearly in this. There were several other iitians at the boatside and I have seen some of
the pictures and short videos that they have taken. I'll probably get to put up a couple
more pictures after getting it from them where the double rainbow is more clearly visible.
