Ds Missing In My Life

D’s Missing In my life

Last saturDay (29/03/0 I happeneD to reaD a blog of one of my freinD’s frienD. It haD a post titleD “Things i miss most”. Wow!! a topic so common yet so uncommon to the blogosphere, afterall human beings as species Define their reality through miseries.
It immeDiately occureD to me to ape, afterall there is nothing wrong in copying gooD things. So there I began collating my thoughts while zapping through NH8 on my bike. The first noun that came to my minD was a guy, a geek, whom i haven’t starteD missing but i know i will be. Yes, he will be leaving me very soon.How much i will be missing him anD why so, no one incluDing him anD even I cann’t unDerstanD, till the time the feelings are quantifieD anD the whims of heart are moDelleD. No matter how much far fetcheD it is, I still believe if he applies himself at it he can Do it. Again, that is just supporting Details, what is more important is that his name starts with D. Yes D.
Segmentation anD classification which come naturally to me leD me to conclusion that at this stage of my life, things that i miss most have some D component.Yes D.

“So there I go playing Star Again”

1. Dost Log: Few but very close frienDs. True to Amex philosophy. The first D that comes to my minD is( i know whom you are thinking of, no its not her) is Debaraya Sarkar, yet another Bong. It’s been 2 years since saw him in person, he who stooD beinD me supporting anD guiDing me at every step During my well surprisingly lonely college Days. I still remember that Despite of my 20 hr workDay in college i coulDnt achieve what i DesireD he saiD Dont worry. I wonDer how easy or Difficult it woulD have been for him to say that knowing the saga. Even though we gtalk or gmail regularly but i miss him a lot. He owes a lot of parties to me but its just that we Dont meet up in person because of globe trotting.
Then there is DDT(Dulli DaDa From Timarpur ) aka vipin. KinDa lost touch with him since he went to IIM A but we haD terrific times in school. Both haD our tales of escapaDes. Neither I call him nor Does he. We are too busy going forwarD in our lives that we have completely forgotton that shareD past . Then there is DD(Dimagh ke ghoDe mat DauDao) Dua DuDe. Amazing english, bilkul american(although I have the Distinction of an american association first).

2. DD Serials: Unless you like those Krappy KK serials by eKta Kapoor, I bet you will miss masterpieces like BuniyaD, Stoneboy, Chekhov ki Duniya or Kathasagar or the legenDary Byomkesh Bakshi.Not to forget SUPER DUPER HIT FLOPSHOW. These serials still echo when a painful fit of life hits my life anD parallel is Drawn in my minD with them.

3. DTC bus pass: Who says there is no free lunch. There is breakfast lunch anD Dinner, if you own it. IF I have to choose between a DTC bus pass anD H1B no Doubt I will choose the former. Can you imagine a pass for 20Rs /per month when you spenD more than that on one Day one way trip to your college. The entertainment benefits of clowns are not to be misseD. So what if you have to stanD on stairs or even hang yourself on the conDuctor’s winDow, but in such a Drab life what else can be a better way of keeping yourself fit anD your life full of aDventurous

4. Delhi: WTF you stay in Delhi man!!! blooDy hell i spenD most of my time on NH8 anD the riDge traveling. Delhi, to me, is not the swanky anD flashy malls it is in the olD Delhi, ballimaran, nai saDak, Dareeban kalan. You just neeD the eyes to see that. AnD yes Dont know what has happeneD in my life but somehow i have faileD to see those pretty Delhi gals or may the black magic of Kolkata is still on me or may be i finD them too immature or non intelectual or hostile or whatever. I think i am past all these things.
Isi baat pe ghalib ho jaye (ala bheja fry 7up try, my own version of it is Dil cry, Ghalib try ha ha )
“Kalkatte ka jo tune zikr kiya hamnasheen teer laga seeDha Dil main”.

5. D-114:This was room no. in BH1. Even though i got all my jobs (3 if you allow me to boast) anD enjoyeD most in A-311, but i miss D-114 because. This is the room where i workeD 20 hr Day for almost an enitre sem. MaDDening yet enjoyable in spite of the failures. There comes a stage in every man’s live when he starts enjoying his failures because he knows that they are the stepping stones for a future. His heart aches Day in anD Day out but he stops feeling that pain if not enjoying. To him everything else apart from his Dear Dream becomes suborDinate. He realizes that all philosophies were expounDeD by great men unDer a set of conDitions which may not apply to him anD he starts reDefining the atomoic premises of worlDly theories accorDing to him.He gets the balls to stanD for his convictions, if he DiDn’t have them earlier as opposeD to stanDing against something. May be I experienceD the sparks of all these myself in that room. Of course the occasional visits of college fauna(frogs anD some other creatures which my poor zoology Doesnt allow me to recognize) anD breaking of winDow panes by my frienDs in the footballers/cricketers in the aDjoining baDminton court was not to be forgotton. NeeDless to say running 2000 W speaker on full volume, listening to linkin park anD RATM at 6.00 am in the morning as alarm is something that I Dont think will be possible ever again. This was the sem where i took some extreme steps anD riskiest bets of my life which paiD heavily at immiDeately but haD to suffer huge losses later on. But yes this room, its Door its broken winDow ahD the scheDule i liveD is still there in my minD. I want to relive that again. My poem Ghanghor tapasya kar le arjun is just the poemification of those Days.

6. Dil Dosti Etc: Romanticism in one form or another has been always a part of my life. ToDay, I miss all those whom I truly loveD(apart from close ones, with whom I am always in touch). Although not many only 3(only!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), i still wish that I haD the courage to stanD up anD say to at this time, “hey lets have the same equation for the wave of life”, but then there are principles which are to be helD high in all cases. Even though the equation was effectively the same, however the problem was phase only a Difference of 2pi or 360Degree. Similar yet not same. Realization of similar anD same can be really Disheartening. Well saiD by Shiv KheDa “The saDDest worDs in life are what if…..”. The 2 D’s are significant in the caption. A backfitting. All I can say now is “Iss Umeed pe jee rahe hain ….tumse milne ki hasrat reh na jaye “

7. DCE/NSIT: Its kinDa backfitting again, to bring a D but yes i Do miss my college, NSIT. Hostel life was a separate thing, but the interesting Days in the college garDen, or the Discovery of what I am or better what I am not is something that i always miss. I learnt that failures are only phases which just pass away. Well haD i stayeD at home for my whole life then I Dont know what i woulD have been if have been at all. As for backfitting, aren’t all philosphies anD theoretical proofs if not theories themselves are backfitting to the worlD as it exists toDay.

8. Daru/Dance Parties/DJs/Fests: I always say for practical purposes I am not a Drinker but I Do enjoy the hostel fests or Dance parties or Dj parties what ever u may call them but were essentially Daru parties in Diff forms. I concentrateD the fun of Drinkers by Drinking many cups of coke pepsi or any other Drink with which can be useD to Dilute the leit motif. Something is in the ambience of these parties which make me lose myself anD Dance like maDs(aDmitteD i Dont have great pair of feet) but still un parties ki baat hi kuch aur thi. I kinDa trieD to relive them at Stix or purple haze in bangalore but then things proviDeD free anD when in college have a charm which cann’t be matcheD by any sum of money.
9. D company: Sometimes while stanDing in the queue or when inDuctis Doesn’t clear my 1 year olD expenses or when my current salary account’s bank Delays my salary transfer i wish if not DawooD Ibrahim ,i shoulD have been in his D company. No tension of all this crap in life anD that too the aDDeD fun of an extremely aDventurous life. You may say the risks are huge but then the returns beat the risk hanDs Down. Man they neeD geeks like me. Cheap fun of hacking, virus has fascinateD me in past anD i think these guys are best customers for any analytics shop. People Do preDictive analytics for frauD prevention. I wonDer why hasnt someone trieD hanDs at preDicitve anti frauD Detection algorithms or anything that support these poor technically challengeD fellows. I wonDer will the kiDs of these guys also get a quota in our country. Its very much possible. These guys are influence, affect elections at each every level, probably more than those illegal refugees in our country or those casteists. Imagine for a seconD you are stuDying in IIT with D’s granDson or Chota Rajan’s cousin’s son.

10. Dinosaurs: This one comes from 5 point someone. Well even I wish Dinosaurs shoulnt have left us or coulD come in our moments of embarassment. These things are beyonD our control but we can always wish anD miss the T-Rex. Thanks to Steve anD Crichton we still have hopes. May be someDay one Dinosaur will apprate when I want it to. Till then i will keep on reaDing this blog. You are aDviseD to Do the same as well.
