So, who is Simon Cooper? He is one of the lead characters from The Inbetweeners – a British sitcom. And why is he the title of my post? Because he seems to resemble me a lot.
Not in looks definitely. That would be Neil Nitin Mukesh (do I really look like him? Everyone says that!!). Well let’s analyze. He is not the tallest in the group. Looks rather better than the other 3 and is definitely the most mature one. Can drive safely. Loves a girl who is committed to an older guy and hence never seems to get going with her. A junior girl has a crush on him. Anything else? Yeah he pukes badly when drunk. Apart from the boner control he is just like me. Yeah I can control it :P. Also I’m older and I get served as compared to the character. The actor seems older though.
It’s strange because I’ve never been able to relate to any fictional character so much. Not even Harry Potter :P. So, advice from my side, if you want to know me watch The Inbetweeners. Watch it anyway it’s superawesome!

The PPT Experience
PPTs are nice. They show you all that you can’t have. That’s the current status message I have on facebook. If I were a girl, I would have received a 100 likes by now by guys who have not been shortlisted. Actually if I were a girl I wouldn’t have put it up as I would have been shortlisted in the first place :P. we’ll leave the gender discrimination for some later stage.
Anyway, so PPT stands for Pre-Placement Talk which a lot of people don’t know. This is not for placement but for internships but since it’s derived from the placement procedure, they decided to keep it the same. Now, this is where a company presents itself to a bunch of awestruck 3rd year students who want the company as badly as we want girls and the company knows it. Sadly, for me being a 6-pointer keeps me back from getting shortlisted in the “big” companies. So while my friends Sharma and Pranay crack P&G, I sit here writing this.
So, the best part of today’s PPT was Nupur Joshi who was looking stunning in a purple dress and lip gloss.

New Room(ie)
It’s been a month. Well almost since I changed rooms. My new room looks exactly like the previous one except that my roommate isn’t Sumedh. It’s Sandipan now. Better known as Pondy. So what have I gained or lost in this deal? Let’s analyze the difference.
Pros:
1. Sandipan unlike Sumedh doesn’t play any music instrument. So the decibel levels are low.
2. No unwanted guests.
3. As a result of the above two points, I can sleep on time and attend lectures. This has obviously shown a certain improvement in my marks. I hope it translates to good grades too..
4. MI work can be done peacefully without the fear of someone overlooking because of point 2. Also can write a diary.
Cons:
1. Sandipan is known to shag on the floor. Has a spot in the room.
2. Talks a lot of rubbish. Can get intolerable at times.
3. No network in the room.
The major motivation for changing the room was to sleep on time and increase CPI. I think I might achieve this… So, a positive deal till now.

Yes I did.
I loved you. Notice the past tense. 2 years of my school life. I did love you… Although I realized it was never going to happen between us. If only you weren’t committed then.But now 4 years on even today I can’t help but think… what if we were together. When I’m low (or high) I think of you. I control myself from calling you up and saying those three words which I’ve longed to say… forever I guess. I even messaged it once. That was a mistake. I agree. But if not you then whom? It’s not like I’ve not had crushes after you but I never think of them in such situations.Also my last post touches on the fact that there has definitely been no lack of admiration if I may call it from the other side. But I just always play them down (a hindi translation of this would be: main kata deta hoon bandi ka. Main chutiya hoon na.) But why? Is it because I still love you?I’ve been told that you liked me too but you were committed. I’d live the rest of my life with this if it’s true. But all I have now is a lot of “what if”s…

No I don't :(
"Do you have a girlfriend?" If only I received a nickel every time I heard that! Why would any girl ask me that? The obvious explanation I can think of would mean that I have a lot of admirers. That can’t be a bad thing.
My problem is that I think a hundred times before I would ask a girl if she is single. It’s not like a friend bets you to call up a girl at 2 am. That’s easy. You know what she’s going to think. Do they know what conclusion I’m going to jump to when they ask?
So, I asked a couple of girls… I was told that well… I was right :P. They are either interested in me or judging me for my standard of modernity/outgoing-ness/coolness. The latter is scary but why would anyone judge me if not for the former. More importantly, why me? :P. Food for thought.
But some things to worry about are what is the judgement when I say that I’m single and why in the world would committed girls bother to ask!? (of course I ask them if they’re single when they ask me. It would be rude not to. :P)

The sem that was...
I’ll be honest. I’ve screwed up… I’ve read this somewhere. Sumedh’s blog I guess or his diary :P. Yeah I do like my roomie a lot though I can see this sem we’ve grown apart.
This has been a sem of 3M’s for not just me but at least 3 people I know. Muggai, Muth and Mood I for me. The third one is different for each one of us. It’s the first part I’ve screwed up. The second because I can’t screw and the third is well kickass!
If we forget the academic part it’s been an awesome sem. Near perfect AIDS, crazy nights and nightouts, becoming CG and the treats that followed and trips to accounts section…
I do have a few regrets though. I regret doing PAF. Wasted a lot of time. The time I lost could have been utilized for, if not academics then, Mood I. I do regret not going to Chaos. The time I spent studying fluid mechanics didn’t help me one bit. I regret not going to a crib session. I will write about it in another post.
All in all a sem of ups and downs… which will be remembered more for the ups than the downs.

3 IdIoTs
I know I’m late on this but I had to write this. The excuse is that I watched 3 idiots only recently. Just had to check out what the hype is all about and also the movie is apparently about IIT life. Having read Five Point Someone, I wasn’t expecting any surprises. Whatever the producer says, it is entirely based on the novel. The major difference being that the movie is plot-based and the novel is mainly anecdotal. And a very stupid plot at that. Come on, a guy with 400 patents to his name would have his photograph published everywhere.
Engineering isn’t as remotely sad as the movie makes us believe. There are bigger problems like sex ratio and post-grads :P.
Heck, it wasn’t even funny except the chamatkar speech which was also probably lifted from some e-mail like rest of the punch lines in the movie.
However sad it may be I’ll have to live with the cult status 3 idiots has achieved and facebook fan pages dedicated to every dialogue in the movie.
Finally, the guy who commits suicide is not even a Gulti. :P
