Incredible Night Out -_-
Posted by: Bharath Krishnan on: June 7, 2009
Let me make this clear, this night out at Yuri’s Yard was by far the worst. -_-
The night out was arranged yesterday at around 6:30 pm and it was meant to be a night for Gdns (us ^-^) and OmF (Our better half 
). We intended to go there and have a good time and so it was first decided that our line up of players would be Me (Gdn_scribbler), Gdn_TD, Gdn_Maximus, Gdn_SpK and Gokul (aka GodSp33d). But wait wait!! :-/ SpK, our team strat caller thought the other way round.
Gdn_SpK : Hey, come on.. this is not our regular five. If Gdn_Arch3r comes, I will come too. I wouldn’t mind opening Zion (his cafe) late if he comes.
I burst out into laughter from within, cos I knew that it was not going to happen that way.Arch3r had his personal obligations to complete and so he came through clean and we gave him a bail. SpK was not ready to accept Gokul as our regular five. I was wondering as to where our passion for gaming has gone 0_?. There ended our streak to meet up with OmF as a regular normal team. We settled in with Satya (aka nofear86 aka ATL player) and we just wanted to have some fun the DotA way. I was too excited about this. lol. Was I? It just fell apart. Everything!!!
4 straight games, 4 straight losses. First 3 games, we found out that we had done our part of mistake at the stage of hero picks. (We had never rectified this for a long time, that is why we needed SpK for this.) The 4th game was the most annoying and most lethargic game we played. I hate the blame game after I had a tug-of-war with my clannies just before a previous tourney. I quit arguing by pointing fingers at some one or some thing. Maximus, got so bored, it seems and started playing Flatout. Seeing this nofear (i_fear of course o.o) went off the mood to play the game we actually were playing. Gokul lost interest and TD had nothing to do but endure all this shit. I was minding my own hero in the game, trying to do justice to the game I was concentrating on.
One helluva game. zzzz!!!
What I noticed was, fucking we have the same miscommunication problem. No one talks or enjoys the game. Zombies are better off, I tell u. A simple game, no talking, no kallasifying, no this thing or that thing. OmF were having a gala time running over us. We pulled our strings together in some portions of the game, just to find that we are outnumbered in the Enjoyment factor.
Lesson learnt: Be serious!!!!! but identify the JOY JOY factor. Been missing it and if at all in future, we play as a team (of 5) >.<, surely I will be duly paying my respect to the Joy Joy Factor.
Overall, it was OmF’s night and the night out was a mockery on our part. The exciting part I found was playing Halo. 
Things should change, if not, I do not know what to expect. I will be there for the team and I will soon realise that “OMG! Do I have a real life to live in? Oh Yes! I will concentrate on it” 
Worst time for a Graduate

I have been pondering lately, that what is the purpose of education? Is it just to get the suffixes after the name or is it for the societal status needs or is it to get a reasonable employment with a good pay package or all the above? I have found out one thing, in order to get good pay package after completing the education, you need to study in a really ace institute. But even that finding is going to be thrown in to the trash can. With the over hyping of recession and corporates showing their net gain as net loss and over throwing of huge chucks of employees from the organisation, all indicates that students who have passed out from their so called ace institute this year are going to be taken in for a roller coaster ride, except that you will be going at a speed of 0.5 kmph.
For the heck of it, I tried my chance in a few of the content development firms and the pay they give you is really nonsense. The economy melt down has really pushed the salary to a meagre commodity, that a fresher will be earning his pocket money not from his parents but from the place where he will start working. In return the organisation would put you under training for a 6 freaking long months and will try to compensate for the economy fuck up by paying you low. Do we have a choice? Yes, we do. Whether to take this job or to leave it. In return of the rejection, we might get a caring look from our parents with them thinking, “My son, is trying his best to get a job”, while you can keep pondering, “Where the hell am I going?”
I have been a professional gamer for almost two and half years and I have been a part of the media side by side. I wanted to become a eSports journalist, which would entitle me to travel places and meet new people and interact with people in my age group. What happened? Where did I lose my track? What just hit me on my way? Duh!!! the fucking so called recession it seems. With the pulling of international events from India and some eSports company trying their best to keep their ends tight have just ensured me that this is not the safe zone.
I have been planning on an exit strategy for this, and with thorough confirmation of my abilities to achieve those, I will update it here. Until then, live in this God Fucking Crazy World.
Note: India is the most boring country with me living in this DRY place called Chennai. If you want to experience boredom of any sort, do not hesitate to come by. The address is Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. >.<
Vote in to vote out

Today was by far the best day after my college years, and incidently it turned out to be the voting day in Madras. All these media channels were speculating the future government who will eventually control the Nation, while I, who form the 1/(i dont know the figure) of the youth in India, cared less and wanted to hang out with friends.
- Voting is compulsory
I did cast my vote and the way I did can actually make you roll over the floor laughing just by looking at my expression. :-/ I am basically a Tamil illiterate. In other words, I can speak Tamil, but never can I read and write. My bro and I started off to the polling booth at around 9:00 am and we found ourselves comfortably standing with few people in the line for our ward 14, room 136. I know it sounds more like a number given in an hospital for the labour ward, but who cares, I just need to vote. This will be my second time in the voting booth and there is always this hush hush regarding who is going to vote for whom. It so happened that I asked my bro as to who he is going to vote for. He gave the best stare of his life time and whispered something that even a pig wouldn’t be able to listen.
- This is India
The process was quite smooth, with constant jibber jabber from the person behind to vote for his party. The way he said, should be actually appreciated. It went somewhat like this, “Hope these common fools cast their vote to my XYZ pary. Atleast I am going to vote for this party.” Man, where do people think of such strategies? :-/
I cast my vote and hence legally I had cast my vote in. And now it was time for Voting out of the ordeal of normal life. This part is the most cherished part of today and I wouldn’t give it a second thought as well. Deepak, Vijay, Ashwin, Gokul and Myself found our places berthed in Yuri’s yard, a gaming cafe in Chennai to clan against Atlantis, the local contenders in DotA. It was actually a get together of 10 friends and the time we spent was intense filled with comedy, tragedy, strategy and a lot Masti.
- Ignore the pic, cos they aint locals
We played around 4 games and instead of worrying who wins and loses, it was more like who gets their skills improved. We (Gdns) set roles for each and every player and executed it quite satisfactorily. It was just one step forward while our ATL friends learnt from their mistakes, and we too learnt our weakpoints in the process. Competitive gaming is more of learning than fighting over petty things. I would say, what I have learnt through gaming is quite a lot than what Education has actually taught me.
Fine day comes to an end, hoping to start my job hunt soon.
The Jouney begins… rather say ends

College is out for now, atleast for another year or so. It ends right there. Bham!! Dhoom!!! The end!!!! Farewell party was held. Oh yeah, it was held alright. Check this out. And I got to admit, College is finally freaking over. I am free to do whatever I want and I am all the more joyous of doing things the way I want to do and woah!!! Screeech… Halt… >.< I need to enter the next phase of my life, it seems.
Job hunt starts and ends right there. End of story. Period. Full Stop. Placed in Cognizant Solutions (CTS) as Instructional designer, I GUESS, am in the list of extra-ordinary people who are gonna wait for the call letter for months. From close quarters, I received this quite a good information that would cheer up any person who is going to wait for the call letter. CTS is not gonna recruit and they have stopped their intake of freshers for the current pass outs. Oh yeah! read this and then pass out. Nonetheless, I have been telling people that I am recruited by an IT firm who have shown some generosity and recruited this useless bag of shit into the creative stream. But this aint gonna be the only reason that would provoke the people from the close quarters to accept. Oh well, my hunt for the job starts.
It is so freaking retarded to find out that all these job sites have ample job openings for IT and Non IT fields leaving aside media as a criterium. I am cluesless as to where I should apply if I want to get into Media and do what I have learnt for the past 5 fishing years. I am yet to get my mark sheet out and I am yet to come into this real world. I am ready to be patient when the gold knocks at my door. But others are not patient enough. I am ready to apply for jobs that would satisfactory, ofcourse you won’t get the best, suite me. But there are not many givers as such. Confusion here and confusion everywhere. Applications for higher studies are closed for this academic year and I am thankful for the same because I am in no mood to go through the blunt educational system again. I got time, but there isn’t much either. Everything seems to be a paradox. Well, I am off to prepare my retarded resume and I am going to start applying wherever possible with high hopes of not getting.
Bottomline: I don’t want to work now, yet I am anxious to join some organisation and break the montony of daily life. Thus creating new ground rules of what Monotony actually means.
Farewell day marks the Farewell Years

Today, we had our farewell day for the 2009 batch and I am part of that notorious batch. ^^
“Five years have passed by so fast and I relished each and every moment of it. I can still remember the good old days where I went along with friends who form this study group and keep excelling in each and every subject they study. Then there is the other group that enjoys and being part of it, you need to be carefree type and also the loyal type. Wonderful days and wonderful emotions went by just today”. Do you think these are what I intend to say? Not right now.
Today’s farewell was special indeed and yes, it was conducted by our juniors, but not by our immediate successors. It was conducted by our 1st years (Dont know the correct year) and who ever did the planning, thanks to them. As usual, we had to sit in a class and our HoD and the rest of the faculties joined up to bid adieu to us. It was quite a scene.
Scene 1: No current
Scene 2: More than 75 people in a medium sized room.
Scene 3: Sweaty
Scene 4: Smelly
Scene 5: More sweaty
Scene 6: Unbearably Stinky
Scene 7: CRAMPED
Apart from all these stuffs, the world still looked awfully wonderful. The routine things happened, Welcome address, HoD Speaks, A teacher speaks, Student representative speaks and so on and on and on and on and on.
Enough of the exaggeration. Well it went slow and steadily and Slow and then came our Eye openers- the cake and one small chaayya. The most wonderful moments that ever happened in the Farewell would be…. …. …. … :-S
Kalachifying eachother (happens all the time), and teacher(s). That was the fun part. Then we decided to leave and went to the beach and the ride was a memorable one with 2 groups splitting in different locations. And my way back was not so memorable (though it would remain in my memories for my first traffic jam incident in my new bike) Overall it was a LooooOoooooOoooooOoooonG day and yes I stop my Exaggeration of 5 small years in a small department residing in a largely small premise of Anna University.
You gotta work?

Been a great day, things seem to take new dimensions for me. My long awaited petition for a new bike was fulfilled today and thanks to my bro. Seriously didn’t think he would do that for me, well, he just did. My mom has been very supportive of the fact that I might be able to do some work out of the responsibilities that I would have to do for my College project. And getting this Bike after 2 long years of wait, I get this dashing tag-line from my dad. PAMPERED.
What do u expect from me? In my final year in College and doing fairly well, have loads of experience in the Media field through part time and some full time jobs, and getting placed a good IT Company handling some media related stuff and what do I get? Bombardment of the first order. How responsible enough can a person get during his college life? Study 24×7, be the good son of the family, do the family chores, listen to soft music, be a responsible young man, have no girl friends, be the culturally trained young man and become what I would term as “A few good men”. People who are like this are seriously dead or they are in coma stage. I am not that shit.
I have got a whole life ahead of me, and if I am doing the mistake of my life of gaming or studying little, or standing for my ideals (termed immature by many for various reasons) or taking shit kinda decisions, I don’t give a shit. Cos they are mine and Mine means MINE.
Getting ample wishes for a good deed can be termed as lucky. But get one curse and I deem it to be even more fruitful. History points out that good men die faster and I don’t want to be branded as the GOOD one by anyone. If I am pampered so be it. People can’t be patient enough to see their lil’o child to start earning, it just can’t help. Fuck the CIVIL way of living one’s life.
