Arre huzzoor, waah Taj Boliye.....

Last week was really hectic, with another set of mid sems goin on... six exams over in 3 days again... pain lasted fr only a shorter duration. but i m not goin to bore u with description... they hv become a part n parcel of life here... isliye no more prattle abt the exams now.....

We went to Taj for the 'Chaos' party a week earlier. n i shud admit tht i was pretty excited by the same. This has been the first time when i got an opportunity to go to this place. I hv been to a no of so called '5-star places' earlier, but Taj's mention holds a separate charm. I called up mom n told her- ' mummy, i m goin to Taj fr dinner today.... n all expenses r insti paid' n came the terse reply: 'phir to tu aaj bhookha hi aayega '..

When i reached there, i was amazed by the ambience the place offered.... the big lawn, swimming pool where a number of us tried our swimming skills.. gud starters in food n we were really hungry fr the dinner..... all plates of starters were quickly gobbled up in a total 'junglee' fashion :p. n then came the food... a damp squib... really pathetic... searched the whole dictionary after coming back... but cud not find anything tht even remotely resembled tht crap...... worse than the food at engg mess i earlier had in my life... wonder how people r ready to pay such a high premium over such food... n how these hotel guys r able to supply this crap after charging so high.

i came back to the dorm n there was a call frm home.... it was mom on another side.... even before i cud utter sumthing... she said" beta, go to canteen n hv sumthing", n i was dumbstruck..... ab unhe kaise pata chala, i still dont hv any clue..... but one thing fr sure...... every mom knows her son best n i cud not help admiring her sixth sense :p

but the misery continue to unfold... pet kharab ho gaya....pressure started building up... n despite all my numerous attempts at releasing it, it did not left me fr next couple of days... n believe me its certainly not a 'nice' kinda situation to be in.... u go to bathroom n find its door locked.... n the inmate tells u to wait fr a minute before giving u a chance.... i realised tht how long a minute can be depends upon which side of bathroom door u r present :P. u realise everyone in the dorm is giving u tht strange n weird stare.... n the worst thing tht u feel totally powerless n dont hv any clue of how to stop it.


for next 3-4 days, i was in a totally ludicrously odd situation.... cud not eat much in the mess for the fear of worsening the situation i was already in... n people started wondering how a slim guy like me cud go on dieting... with a lot of fire fighting i was able to bring the situation under control... in the process i lost a couple of kgs in just over a span of 4 days... was just going thru the advertisement section of Hindu n saw one ad of a 'weight loss guaranteed' program n was wondering if Taj, Ahmedabad wud also offer the same package... wow wht an ad it wud be... live the luxorious life at Taj n lose weight along with it. i dont mind acting as a brand ambassador fr the same n dont get surprised if this story appears in a Taj ad in any newspaper in coming days in form of a 'weight-loss guaranteed' program :p.... when one dinner( tht too eaten in a very mild amount) can make u lose a couple of kgs, then their hospitality fr a couple of days wud certainly help u to get tht slim trim hour glass figure


another dorm is goin to Taj for Corp-D ( more abt corp-D in next post) in a couple of dayzzz..... n i sincerely wish tht they get a better deal... otherwise it wud be better fr us to stay away frm them fr a while... btw if anyone of u is planning to lose sum weight just tell me.. i wud send u all the details :) aur huzoor wah Taj boliye... mein to pichle kai din se bol raha hoon :p

These places are good to visit because of their ambience but khana.......
east or west ghar ka khana is the best.

Yep, for the past 4 months or so i have been very erratic in blogging. Cat me nahi hua....got a percentile of 97 ....mainly quants me makha diya.
Well regarding plcmt ....woh bhi abhi tak nahi hua........though i am a topper out here in my dept. There is a lot of luck wrt to plcmts frm the campus. So at the moment my future is still uncertain. Lets see how everything turns up.....will keep u posted on tht front. The next post(long overdue) will come in 3 days n thts a promise.
