Incessant rain
May be a constant pain
But if you want to gain
You must refrain
from unclogging the drain
Else it is certain
your efforts were in vain

Why ?!?
One question never left my mind as I boarded the Dhanbad express to Tatanagar. WHY??
The train was 2 hours late at Chennai Central. I couldn't believe that a train that comes from kerala to Chennai in 16 hours could make it all the way to my destination in another 30 hours.! I mean come on! Look at a map if you want to. Its next to impossible. And the thing stops at EVERY single station. I mean I looked out to the left and I looked to the right! NO platform . Yet people were getting on ! I'm sure I'll find the name of the place on the way back. I mean, it has to stop there right?
Anyway, back to my question.Why? It wasn't as much a question as a continuous word that kept entering my mind. Considering that this was my first real journey away from home, I guess it was obvious why the first why came to my mind. Why do I have to go out of Chennai? Why can't I do my intern in TI India. Oh yea. My wonderful prof Dr. Burma(Name changed to protect privacy ;) ) called up someone in Ambattur and got me an intern. Only problem? No buses. I have to change to buses early in the morning and two on the way back for 6 weeks ! Yea right.! And to do what ? Help someone prepare SEM samples.No thank you !
The next why that popped into my head was very simple. Why on earth is the clearance under the seat of in a train almost the same size as the clearance under a Formula1 car? I mean how do they expect me to put my BIG suitcase in there? Of course a why for why I had a big suitcase never came to my mind. Thats because the answers obvious. DUH.
And then it began. The train journey. I happened to be sitting next to a first year dude from NITT. Now I tell you, I've had people ask my about IIT and how I must be Einsteins onnu vitta cousin oda rendavadu paiyenoda naalavadu akkavoda vootukarara oda yezhavadu paiyan oda paiyan (hehe.. long distance realtion. Doesnt matter how long;) ) before. Usually its just a couple of questions and when I get bored I politely say something that if read properly means "DUDE! enough. I'm not from mars. Let me go" . But unfortunately the dude I was was unable to understand what I was saying on another level. Maybe he didn't have another level, but being an overly polite person( yes . I am very polite. If you don't trust my words, then screw you :P ;) ) I just couldn't outright proceed to blankly say no. Of course the fact that I'd need his help on reaching jamshedpur never reached my mind ;) ;) .
Hmmm . Enough about that dude. I got very pained in the journey and kept asking why a lot of times. Now that brings me to an interesting question. Why why ? Its a three letter word, yet we pronounce only the last syllable. Why say why when you can say y ? I guess thats what makes English such a complicated language. Everything has weird spellings and even weirder pronunciations. French on the other hand, is awesome. Although there are a million pronunciations, the same set of syllables always should be pronounced the same way. Agreed there are too many to memorize but once done, you'll never go wrong in pronunciation, although I admit pronouncing their 'r' is probably the toughest thing I have ever attempted and haven't got it kkright yet, err I mean right yet.
Anyway, coming back to why. A lot of my questions have always begun with why. Why is such a nice way to start of . Its unique in the sense that its one of the few words that constitute a sentance. I've had loads of conversation with many teachers when all I have uttered was why during class and as revenge all they asked me during vivas were why ? Specifically the viva in twelfth class. Computer Science. I was supposed to be some shtudd in it, but I swear, out of 5 I never crossed zero. Not once. 5 vivas. and 5 zeros. Why ? (there we go again ;) ) . Its all cause my teachers never stopped asking why till I tripped and fell .Even thought theoretically if I tell them 1+1 = 2 and they ask why , no one can answer. I can probably hold up my fingers and go 1 in the hand , 1 in the other hand, breaking one finger and attaching to the other hand I have 2 :P. Since I couldn't really do that without risking pain( though I must admit, I wanted to borrow someones fingers ;) ) , I got stumped every time.
Why is useful in so many ways. It helps one get out of sticky situations. When you don't know what to say , you can just say why and turn the tables so to speak.
At this point, I'm sure you must also be thinking "WHY ?? Why on earth did I choose to read this post" . Well. It just means you are as jobless as me ;), or infinitely more .
WHY are you so jobless ?
Why am I so jobless ?
Why do I ask so many questions?
Why don't I get answers to all these questions?
Why did I start writing a post when I had no idea what I wanted to write about ?
Well thats just another mystery altogether. Lets just say I had time to kill and did just that ;) . I'm sure you did too. Please leave a comment so that I'll know who are all out to kill me after reading this post ;).
Why ??
Because the sky
is so high
and oh my my
pigs live in a sty?
of course I don't lie
when I say I fry
my phone to keep it dry.
bye bye bye
Heights of joblessness bring out the poet even in me ;).

Un nouveau Commencement
Its been a while since my last post. Somewhere between sleeping in classes and sleeping in my room , I seem to have lost all the time I had. Its been more almost a year since my last post, and considering that time I didn't think it was apt to keep the same name or the same template, although I didn't want to delete my old posts. But I doubt the shady-ness of my posts will ever decrease, since my mind simply cannot accept it is too simple to understand the world. Back to blogging :D .
