(I have written everything below extremely fast , so there are going to be lot of spelling mistakes , grammatical ones , have not read it even once again …So spare me and continue if you want to..)(Remember I have not edited it even once , so someof you would not like it , read it at your own risk …)

It is 6:07 now and good six more hours still left before I am 20 years and 1 days old.
So , 20 years .. pretty old now ..:D(Though youngest in the team ..)
Who would have imagined on the 19th birthday that I would be celebrating the 20th one with Firangis (Meanwhile , i love my team)
6000 Kms away from home ..(I am used to spemd my birthday’s 120  and 208 kms apart from home but 6000 is a bit too much ..)..
Anway, have talked to Mom and Dad three times now , so i guess it is not that big a thing , esp. when i have recieved calls
from the most loved ones and also made calls to important ones ..:D

am supposed to start right from my 19th birthday and recount how the previous year went, what all happened that led me where I am and so many more things ..(I like Birthdays more than new years …They are quite specific to an individual )
One part(Mr . Jeckyll) want me to pen the entire thoughts down and Mr. Hyde wants me to think over it, and invesigate what difference would that make ..

I am feeling pretty free now (Fred is in Czech , so do not have much to do ..) so i would go with Jeckyll , thought I agree more with Hyde..

First thing is ofcourse studies … Strange year , went to the lowest sgpa to the highest , a drastic jump of nearly 1.4 ..had started to work hard towards the end of 2008 and that paid off in the next semester.I have become very lazy after coming here (sticking to my laptop most of the time looking at the pictures of various places i have been to and chatting all..) . I have to move from this lethargic state to an active one when I go back to the insti as probably the most tough sem is awaiting me (It is awaiting all the sophies ..:D)..

An internship in France at Inria ..pretty good ..a huge stroke of luck , apping to the right person at the right moment when there were so many of my deserving class mates (much better than me) could not got one(I am in on way saying this in a derogatory manner as they themselves know , that it was purely based on luck and academically they are much better than me ..)
I guess I have been able to do most of the work assigned to me but have not done anything remarkable so as to be really exuberant about it, but am happy that I have done most of the work and would be able to finish the internship well.
Inten in europe is always seen as a grand opportunity to see this marvelous continent and I totally stand by it. This is a beautiful place and I have enjoyed every bit of my travel here ..(That includes taking overnight trains so as to avoid accos. , having my passport and eurail pass not with me for one full day , seeing InterLaken with a Towel , a Garnier face wash , and a comb looking for three lazy backpackers , seeing infinite painitings in PAris and Italy meusems , seeing the most romantic places I have been to till now , talking with people of more than 10 countries now in person ..)I have loved every moment of this and consider myself extremelu lucky to grab this chance(Those who do not believe in destiny got to have a very sound explanation for all this ..)

Ohk , moving from Intern and studies now , to the social life..
Friends:(Parents and relatives are more or less constant , and i want them to be like that only…) have made some remarkable and strange(:D) friends in the recent years esp, in the past one year. Strange as in all are very different, have never been able to understand anyone of them fully ..I do not know , in the past year , how much time I have spend with Ankit and Abhinav(and to an extent Priyanka..), sharing their anecdotes , having numerous endless debates about anything ..Then there is my other group Ankit , Sahil , Pondie , Manish , Dalla , ravi , Shiva and many others(Sorry guys if i have forgotton some of your names , but i am writing this extremely fast …) with whom I love to spend my time (actually most of the time , yeh meri le rahe hote hain , do not know why !!!…) . The third group ,Katyal , Sid , G , apporve ..huh! I have lots of frnds!! and then there are beautiful girls  , Kalyani , Tanvi , Tanu (Priyanka , you are amomg them also..)(This is alphabeticall orders, so no raising of eyebrows..)and others with whom I have spend infinite hours of my last year chatting about nothing in particular and about everything in general (have never seen Tanu in person, but have spend quite a time on finding ways to detect invisible to find her on net , not met Kalyani in like 2 years (Even before that , “met” would be too vague a word..) , hardly met Tanvi in the last year , and have not chatted with her that much , only in last few days ..
I doubt whether I would meet them apart from my Laptop somehow …
There are various other ones who deserve to be here, but I am wrighting too fast now so would mention them sometime else …

It is almost time for the second last (100) bus , but I can take the last one and continue with this …

So, we are done with academic and social life (more or less with everything in brief) and time  now is to plan th next year (basically because, i do not want to miss tha last 100(That is a free bus from office to my hostel..:D))

Numerous Complaints against me , I am Kanjoos-Makhi choos , jerk , do not listen to anyone , always want to have my way , too proudish , too egoistic , become uninterested too easily …
huh! do not know , i can not say f*** off to you guys ( , like most french would have done ..) , nor can I say you are perfectly right , but yes , I would try to improve if you are more explicit in telling me the problem

Studies , tough sems next year , would try to do as best as I can ..

am a kiddo .. Tanu , Heena , various teammates have said this to me ..Comeone guys, I am 20 now  , would be 21 in one year .
would try to learn driving if I have enough time, but am pretty sure that am not going to start with beer or champagne or wine or whiskey or tequilla(Saurabh!!) or Martini (Nikhil..) and of course not the desi…

and having a girl friend!! tough chance , girls do not really like me , though I am open to any offers …

I do not really remember any more things , nor can I write more (My fingures are hurting now ..)

so , bye for now ..and yes , Happy Birthday to me !!!
