HUTCH jana ( translation form Kannada: mad folks)

As soon as Hutch came up with this 100-messages-free-to-any-cell offer, i've been bombarded with messages...
not too flattering, considering that the whopping influx was only due to on-the-house or should i say on-the-hutch messaging...
whatever!!!
but do people fail to understand that my invaluable reply costs me 60ps?
GRRRRR.....
it's infuriating how callous people can get when they expect on-a-daily-basis replies for supposed eternal enigmas like "hi! whatcha doin'?"
SHEESH!!
now if BSNL (to which i am an ardent subscriber) could cut us some slack and provide the same facilities... i can assure you that the aforementioned eternal question would've been answered to at length, with a few extra smileys appended!
words of encouragement from pals to get myself a Rs. 99 Hutch prepaid ("MORON! go buy a bloody Hutch sim...") have had nil effect.
i got thinking as to why i was so attached to the BSNL sim...
the only three things that popped into my head were:
1. my mom bought this for me...
but NAH... that's really not the issue here, cuz she'll do the paying for the Hutch sim too...
2. mom and i stood for 5 hours in the meandering queue in front of the BSNL office to get the sim when the offer was out...
(could be a good reason to keep the sim, but not as good as the 3K that i'll make by selling it...)
3. finally, the only sane enough reason for my affinity to the BSNL sim is probably this: initially when i stepped into this godforsaken land of NITK, only BSNL subscribers were fortunate enough to get signal EVERYWHERE (trust me, i got signal even in the loo...).
but now EVERYONE else seems to get good signal, so i'm back to square one!!
well, i'm still debating if selling BSNL's worth it...
after all, HUTCH is a private telecom co. and for them, the catch phrase (written in the world's most miniscule font size is) : "offer subject to changes in market conditions" or some crap like that...

reflections of a hungry soul...

when the mind is deprived of intellectual enlightenment, it seems a fortress...
and i an unworthy inmate...
but now i am an escaped convict...
unleashed...
i have earned the freedom to reflect...
the thoughts come chugging into the platform of my mind...
while i sail into the dreary waters...
hoping to catch glimpse of that beacon of Light frrom the lighthouse in the distance...
treacherous rocks evoke a sense of forboding...
thick fog threatens to shroud the vessel...
the waters beckon enticingly... to come away with them...
down...
deep down...
they are no longer still...

BINDAAAAS times...

OH MAN!!!
it's just been amazin' these past few days...
i've got absolutely zilch acad stuff covered( end sems in exacty a week), but i've somehow gotten mentally deranged, with my priorities all twisted!!!( but not to worry, i have a feeling i'll do decently anyways;-))
swat cat and me have been having our super looooooooong chat sessions again...
awesome.....
despite the fact that my friend circle is brimming, it's ironic that there's really a miniscule bunch with whom i've actually CONNECTED intellectually and emotionally... swat's bagged no.1 on my NITK jingbang list!!
sitting on the coffee wall for hours... roaming the hallowed corridors of the girl's block ... balancing on the mud mounds at the back of tbe brand new block... post-mid night strolls...
JEEZ!!!! and i always wonder where all the time goes!!! ;-)
conclusion: i'm havin a blast out here...
P.S.1. i'm glad that swat's finally been able to get a lil upbeat 'bout this place.
P.S.2. mebbe i'm a key element????
P.S.3. i'm not bragging... swat said so... ask HER!!!
