two on a two-point-two

Verses speak more profoundly than narratives, anyday.
No prizes for guessing, hence, why musings straight from the succulent trench of the heart, rhyme.
And this rhythm of words, however pathetic or incoherent with the scheme of things, are elixir enough to infuse heroic vibes in the palest of things.

One super awesome example, or rather a peculiar object of interest, are the severely utilized and much adored, roads of our campus!

No gallant rhymester, albeit a chronic frequenter of these beheld paths, ever chanced to tread on this route requiring immense sweat and ink; but I, a veteran of these mingled chains of tar, armed with symphony and my wingy's guitar, cruise off to rediscover alluring waters.

Let's call it two-on-a-2.2 ftw! <3

Rules of the trail:
Walk slowly; talk surely!
Trips appreciated; for Hawaii or Bahamas, not on the stumbly road please!
Snakes Snacks allowed.
Please save all pretentiousness for the next upcoming Marvel prod, whenever it is... Saves breath, legit fact!

Disclaimer:
It's been close to 6 years since I last conversed in verses. Refinements, not reprimands, from prosodists welcomed!!
Basically, gustaakhi maaf ho!


Without further ado, let's get walking...

THE AVENUE SPEAKS

Beneath the emerald canopies, I've lived those pleasant walks (Refrain 1)

Walking like a sage, hailing a fabled and glorified era, I live.. (B)

Breathed meaningful silences, prolonged enchanting talks (Refrain 2)

Those roads lead to places, no different from the majestic Machu in pride. (A)

All those tempo shouts, jolly and sullen cries; ah, the Verismo in contrive.. (B)

Beneath their emerald canopies, I've lived those pleasant walks (Refrain 1)

The boulevard full of worthy hummingbirds, and busy squirrels running to hide.. (A)

Such uncanny resemblence to the walkers beneath; nature's definitely not naive. (B)

I've breathed such meaningful silences, prolonged enchanting talks (Refrain 2)

I've often stepped on these paths outright, without a destination in mind.. (A)

But these discerning paths, always a watchful companion, steered my strive (B) 

Beneath the emerald canopies, I've lived many a pleasant walks (Refrain 1)

I love a thing about paths, or a two; you are seldom away from one, worldwide (A)

The same characteristics they all share. Reminding you aren't far from your hive! (B)

Such meaningful silences, prolonged enchanting talks (Refrain 2) 

I wish I could personify these genial confidants who've known me far and wide. (A)

And revivify all those moments; sweet distant memories now, too deep to dive (B)

But beneath the emerald canopies, I've already lived those pleasant walks (Refrain 1)

Breathed meaningful silences, prolonged enchanting talks! (Refrain 2)

fin.

Hope to find more 2.2s in the further journey! This bond is special!!

Cheerio!

Trip Planning - What not to do!!

Life in engineering colleges is difficult. Period. 

It amazes me, though, for how conveniently we can actually append "period" to something shitty to make it sound epic... Example, lectures. :P 

But understanding the fact that I come from a fraternity of outliers, who only let verified stuff permeate their Neanderthal brain, here's the proof:

Disclaimer : Ladies and gentlemen, this rhymes with Mambo No 5 (Reference)

*inserts backtrack in the head*

A little bit of classes, all the time
A little bit of assignments, on the side
A little bit of exercise, is what I need
A little ray of hope is what I seek!

A little bit of gaming, that's for fun.
A little bit of bhaat which turns out long.......
A little bit to care for placements, fam
Little by little, it makes me a man! Aawwwhh!!

*back to read mode*

Look what it does to a plain, simple guy, no shit!
I know I deserve something in the league of GPL for putting it up online, but that's my state of mind, just right there!!
And btw, you know shit has gone berserk, when even Darth Vader, of all people, notices the dark spot on the moon.

"I find your lack of faith disturbing."

With that, I think I backed my point enough. Life is difficult and you know it!

So now that being established, I also feel it my immediate need to reconcile with the fact that life in engineering colleges is not everything about gloom and dust.

Not many people know, IITs also have a quota for moments of peace, love and ecstacy.

But the thing is : " Life here is like a Salman Khan movie; you have impulses of peace, love and ecstacy, but crap is neither subtle nor scarce... "

Before I start getting bombarded by some Bhai-fans, (BTW, I'm just about surviving with my fb wall flooded with some (being subtle af) VP candidate fans. That, and I just choose to write #JK4VP for absolutely no reason..) I think we should move on.

Allow me to share my experiences on another really mentally-exterminating, easy-peezy and professional-beyond-quantification way to piss anyone off!
*trumpets in bg* Planning a trip...

To all people who believe trip-planning is all about time, money and information,
BAAMMM! here's a setback. There's another. It's called Chemical X.

This Chemical X has some really interesting properties.

Maggu       + Chemical X   =  Yeh trip kya hota hai!
Tests       + Chemical X   =  That guy's crazy, isn't he?? 
Assignments + Chemical X   =  LOL! Trip!!
Classes     + Chemical X   =  You know this might just be possible..
Bandi       + Chemical X   =  You know what, I'll bring a DSLR along! I'm totally wanderlust!!

" So, now you know that more IITians make it to Google, than to a road trip 20 km away!! "


Beaming back to our reality, me and my friends were in a situation.
We had plans and dreams, just like every fresher in college, and all conditions favourable for the trip.

The only thing that can hold us back, being Chemical X.

The day being remarkable for 2 reasons.

1.  My awesomely less-painful GPL. All thanks to the absence of Chhotu, my buoy!! :D
2.  A well-instagrammed and largely-secretive RP beach trip.

RP, to create context, has the largest population of my classmates and is undeniably, the cultural capital of the CSE Batch of '14. (LLR, being the academic capital though. Pani _/\_)
That trip really got us going.
The MS CSE people, being one of the most well-knit communities in the batch, felt it our foremost need to respond to this act of courage. Well, over-powering Chemical X without the Bandi catalyst was no small feat, by any standards.
So, in a hurried state of affairs, plans were drafted for a long trip.

Haste, makes waste... Snap goes the first thread of hope.

After the incredibly subtle Akki-GPL and the incredibly monstrous DBMS assignment, it was decided that the trip be one of splendour and swag.
The proposals came soon for the places that could be visited.

Krish and Akki, Gangtok.
Anu and Pate, Bhutan.
Me and Baggy, Darjeeling.

A meeting was organised for parties to present the merits and feasibility of their choice of location, which turned out to be a horrible idea as instead of having a list of pros for those our place, we had a longer list of "cons" for the other two.

At the end of the day, the groups maintained their choices, but with decreased conviction, which asymptotically went down to the limit of my trust in Trump on anything, ZERO!!

(DON'T DISCUSS CONS FOR GOD'S SAKE!!)

Got into some real tough bog lately!??
It's not tough to figure out if there has to be Baggy somewhere in the story.

For the good part, Baggy bagged for himself a new bag and also, an internship in Belgium.

Now comes the sad side of the story.
Baggy is dark. Baggy looks like a terrorist.

So obviously, with all the recent commotion in Brussels, he really had to fight for a well-deserved work visa... (Belgium's in NATO? Well, obviously things changed Hillary-ously from November the 8th.)

Baggy was rejected the first time round. (LOL)
And his second appointment affected the itinerary gravely.

He chose to opt out. And began the Domino effect...

(TRY NOT TO LOOK LIKE A TERRORIST. SHAVE REGULARLY!!)

Akki has cold now.
Garodia has cold, since 2-3 days.
I just got better. Had cold during midsems and caused enough damage already!!

You know things are not gonna turn very well on mountains with ice and shiz and temperature figures well below Delhi's city average on women safety. (Some sections of the society may call that 0 degrees)

Here's another of my free-styles,

Craving for chill??
But feeling ill?
Take your pill..
And be like Bill!!

(TRY NOT TO FALL ILL IN CRTICAL SECTIONS!!)

We realize that there might be more avatars, and hence, we are happy to collaborate with all people with plans that never took-off and trips that went as far as Tunisia's Neptune Probe (Wait, what!!), 

to expand this list :P. 

Feel free (as you are) to pull, edit and push... Releasing on Github soon!

A holistic concluding remark,  (tl;dr people, redirect here...)

Trips have been made and broken for centuries.

A Greek philosopher by the name of PintOS said, "The operating system is no magic! It's just a piece of code written by someone else, whose name is generally Writwick Wraj!"

And an Indian philospher by the name of Prem Baba said, "The above statement does not relate and so does this..."


I hope that your trip of lifetime with your best Pals (and Agarwals and Jains too), doesn't get cancelled as easily.
After all it took Hritik Roshan a whole lot of Dardnaak-BandiDitching-Flashback to approve in ZNMD.
So, basically, there's hope.. :)


Breaking the monotony, here's a meme starring Baggy (Gosh! bin Laden's alive? :o That's what most people think) with Akki (learning this art of wiping tears since Sept 2016 :P).

And btw, we are going to Bakkhali this weekend. :)
If this doesn't restore your faith in humanity, you should definitely watch Barca vs PSG 6-1 :P.

Thanks guys for the incredible ventures like these. You give me enough masala and provide a selfless averagish portrait for these blog posts to be a reality...
Just joking, you are machau af! Long Live our Fraternity! :D

Thanks life, for this in my life. (More recursive than the definition of "recursion" on Google :P)

Thanks for your time, reader. (Although this is far better than what you have been doing.. Scrolling FB feed! *selectively applicable*)


Viva La Vida Amigos!! (My Spanish level be like my CG.. Rising, but by 0.01 each semester :P)
