I’ve just gulped 400 ml of a cold drink, and I’m the subject of the experiment of the night: Whether a cold drink can cure a mild cold. A friend has often argued it does. Now, whatever be the result of the experiment, I don’t lose anything. If it cures, thank you dear Mr. Gh; if it doesn’t, I get to really love my voice for some days, after such a long time!

Until a while back I used to think of myself as some weird eccentric individual. Maybe, I was. These days I think I can reason my actions better. The intense guilt feeling that often used to get to me after every little misdemeanor has ceased to frequent my brain that often. What is more likely is that I have chosen to go for better-thought-out actions. Still, I’ve this feeling that my actions wrt to people have never been as absurd as I thought they were, excepting a few.

By now, you know I don’t have much to write about these days. My college life is, kind of, over. The little crushes I used to devote a poem or two to, are, kind of, over. A job I, kind of, already have.
In short, I’m a young man in the first half of his twenties, who has got a life that has become, suddenly, freaking dull.
And I liked ‘Rock on’.
***
Bollywood movies have suddenly started to impress me. After Summer 2007 and Jaane tu earlier this summer, now we’ve Mumbai Meri Jaan, Rock On, and A Wednesday. While the old chaps from the old production houses continue to dish out the same old crap, these low budget movies are a breeze of fresh air.
And the producer-director-actor-singer Farhan Akhtar is the best thing that happened to Indian Film industry in a long time.

It’s half an hour since I had the cold drink, and to my great surprise, I’m feeling better. But how do I make my voice husky now? There must be a way.
***
Female friends, no matter how good friends I think they are with me, I shouldn’t treat them like my guy friends. At the end of the day, they’ve got a brain that functions differently.
Now this thing, that they’ve got a brain that functions differently, is something that we take due care of while talking to women we’re interested in, in that way. Why do I forget it with friends then?
In future, I’ll keep it in mind.

It’s strange when you’ve strangers asking you, “Vikram ka room kaunsa hai?” or “Have you seen Vikram today?” Oh. It’s strange only when your own name is Vikram too. Pardon my silliness. Speaking of which, you know how silly I am? You’ll have an idea if I tell you I consider the following lines a good, silly, joke:
..
Person 1: “How do you justify your silly jokes?”
Person 2: “By proper spaces and margins.”
..
Anyway, I’m gonna put a sticker on the door of my room with my Full name written on it. Maybe, I should write the other guy’s room number too. With an arrow.

One thing that makes me really dislike a person is his inability to recognize that the joke he just told was a poor one. And I’ve known only one person in my life so far who fails to recognize this, goes on further to explain the joke, and might even ask you to find it funny.
Really, PJs are not such a bad thing in themselves. (I just delivered one of my own a couple of paragraphs above.) But please don't explain them or ask me whether I found them funny! You may just ask something like, 'Ain't that a good PJ?' I think I should be able to find a mutually satisfying answer to such a question.
This reminds me of another thing, but I guess it’s enough for today.

Good night!

.....and the outcome of the result is ?? i am curious.....i have tried this with ice creams.....i always do.. in the hope that one of the flavors would certainly do the trick ;) no success yet
***Hey!! If you think ur life has become freaking dull then do something about it. It needs more of thinking and lesser action. Attitude matters ;)
Btw I liked Rock on too! same pinch.
***Know the problem is Vikram kafie common naam hai :P
Bheed mein chillaoge so dus Vikram will turn up :P
***

Well, the cold drink was only good for a temporary relief.. but this icecream experiment sounds promising.. so if you can make that list of flavors-that-don't-work public, we can arrive at the results really expeditiously! :D
[Geetika]
Yes, gotta do something. But.. what? But anyway, after another two months or so, I won't have to ever ask this question again. Hopefully. :)

:)
The surroundings of my room have undergone such a drastic change over the last two months that even the shouts of 'Vikram! Vikram!' right in front of my room by my (new) floormates are not meant for me anymore! :(
***
Ye 'bheed mein chillaoge' waala dialogue suna suna lagta hai.. can't remember exactly.. Help!!
where did my comment go :(
anyways, you should try chaat for a sore throat, always works for me !
If I may ask rather directly, what makes one think a cold drink would cure a cold?
***
If I may suggest - chill!
***
I loved Rock on!!
***
You're right, the low budget ones turn out to be good. If I see new unknown actors in a movie, I almost always feel like watching it.
***
Have some husk probably :P
***
Yes, I guess.
***
Actually I liked the joke.
***
Ok.
