My Theory::   This summer, I realised that losers were born, not made

29 August, 2005

First day of school... first day of work. Yep got a job at Campus Dining and Shops.... thats the fancy name for working in the kitchen in Richmond Dining hall. Do I like working there? Ummm in the very rare event that my manager happens to land up in this website, I would say I like it. Anyways... classes have been okay.... except my schedule is embarrasingly and stunningly full of s**t.

Holy crap... thats a load of crap to move back into the room. I dunno how the heck r we gonna finish it all in one day... But we did!! While all the new people were lining up to get a chance to move their crap on the elevator, me and Anton took a different route, and grabbed hold of the elevator. No doubt the people were annoyed with us. One parent in particular was like "how the hell do you get the elevator without coming from the first floor?". Anyways, anton took the initiative to respond to that question. After around 6hrs, driving a truck up and down the storage for 3 times, and using 3000 calories we managed to get everything done. All is left to organize... well thats another story.

Today's the day for the launch... I mean the day to go to Buffalo. Got a tough schedule ahead of me.

Calcutta to Singapore-- 4hrs

Singapore to Newark-- 20hrs (hahah...)

Newark to Buffalo-- 1hr

There will be no entries during this transit period. This is the last entry here in India. This is Anirban, signing off from India for a year.

Cool Lennard… u managed to get hold of a snow mobile here in India !!! And what? You want us to remove the brake levers from it? With pleasure!! Here is the secret scenario to officially get your head cracked à a snowmobile, a slope, no snow, no brakes, no brain. 10 minutes into the ride, all we could see down here was a big, busted, frozen piece of crap. Oh by the way, where is Lenny?

Some people were surely born to lose. For instance, Robert, a BMX biker, decides to rig up a ramp, get 60 miles an hour speed and jump from the ramp to the top of a building… here he goes, and… Ladies and Gentlemen!! Robert has hit the building!!!. Then, Robert has the nerve to say that “why don't you try it on Anirban?” You know what Robert, I'll take a pass on that because I was not born to lose. Here is a part of the chat transcript ((I modified the font formatting so that it is displayed properly on other machines)):

Umm Hello Guys... I Need a Break Says:

Astronaut [Comm Check] Says:

Mike, another proof of my theory-- loves to jump off things. Once, jumped off a bridge into the river!! Whoo hoo, well needless to say, he had a couple of stiches on his body, and now he sports a new high tech head—with titanium plates, and metal screws in it. Brilliant. His favorite song? “Its Raining Men”

Happy Independence Day!!! Yes, the tricolor is flying high in the frontyard. 59th year of independence... Jai Hind!! Nothing destructive happened. We tried to be the nice kids on the block this day.

If you haven't heard about drag boats, there are three things you need to know--    Small Boat, Small Dude, BIG Engine… the perfect combination for showing that the boat is made up of million bite-sized pieces.

God.. this summer has been pretty interesting so far. Oliver man... you don't know how to ride a tricycle, leave a powered boat alone for god sakes.. Thank your stars you had an insurance. Oh yeah-- you are the reason why insurance rates are high for us.

Where the hell do I fit in??

Come on people... there are many big issues to tackle other than tax negotiations- the most important of them all is to see who is cooler-- skateboarders or inline skaters? Some guys... i mean dudes... love skating. But the other half of my friend spectrum wanna look cool in inline skates. Doesn't anyone take a damn walk anymore??

Today along with many friends, I went fishing. Guess what-- One brother landed up hooking a 180 pound sucker fish!!! The other brother happened to be the 180 pound sucker fish. Arman pulled back his line, and just as he swung his rod to put the bait in water, the hook got stuck in Raj... hahah.

A pro BMX biker (just as I am a pro wrestler) makes a 10 foot high jump... on an 11 foot ramp. Yep, he plans to rob the judges with his patented head smash trick

While trying to ride a wall, Jerry--a pro BMX rider (just as I am a pro wrestler) falls on the other side of the wall.. So it's QUIZ TIME!!!

Guess what is on the other side:

a) Down filled pillows

b) Sparkling pool of water

c) 30 foot drop on a concrete slab

If you chose (c), congratulate yourself on this outstanding performance of your intellectual ability. If you guessed something else, you just proved yourself just as the people said-- a complete officially declared retarded and low grade moron who should be locked into a portable toilet and set on fire.

Just got back last night from the amazing camping trip. So the best way to relax? Ofcourse... to take a swim in the pool with the hikers and campers. The chef reveals a secret ingredient in the dish--- the chef itself!! While grilling breads, the chef, which happened to be Andrew, falls over it. Yep people I agree, he was asking for it. Don't worry, Andy's alright.

Great idea!!!! Let's jump off the roof into the family pool 50 feet down and 20 feet wide. The last person to jump is going to be the rotten egg. Apparently, the first person to jump eats it. Needless to say, I was the rotten egg, BUT BUT... Ollie ate it. The trajectory of Ollie's jump was way off the pool... way not wayyyyy off, but he landed in water and the concrete edge at the same time.

Some mindless lunatics decide that it's cool to execute an ultra cool jump over a staircase railing using skateboard. As any person in their senses would realize, the idiot crashed, and his friends decided to take him to a hospital. Now, easy way to get there-- call up the hospital and have the jerk picked up. But the crack medical team chose the hard way by taking him to the hospital in their makeshift skateboard ambulance.

Anyways, im leaving for Chiang Mai, Thailand.. for the camping trip that I have been waiting for. I will be livin at Prem Center [its an international school just like ours]. I will be away from 22 july to 29 july.

It has not been even three days since my renovated website went online, and I have already received 37 emails (as on 3rd July 1.20pm IST) regarding my picture on the home page. What the heck is wrong with it huh? This pic was taken when I was giving a presentation... I am not making a pose. It just happened that the freakin photographer had a perfect timing to capture my natural pose. And I have wasted entirely too much time editing it, so I dont care if u like it or not, u just cant ignore it.

This website is the latest happening thing here!! Just a day before Independence Day. I received a load of complaints saying that I am too lazy to care about my self respect, since people thought that my previous website was in a pathetic condition and had a desperate need to clean up. So here it is... after 2 years of receiving complaints regarding my website, I changed it to look more cool, or atleast more organised. Chances are that there might be some links which do not work or are missing, so please let me know about them using the online contact form in the home page.
