OOps!! I did it again August 6, 2006

Can’t believe I am blogging this much. But I can’t just sit and do nothing. Its still raining outside and I can’t go anywhere(I have no plans to get soaked again).I took my favorite Chocolate Horlicks again to see what comes out this time from my “Pitara” of past.

Flash back(An year ago)
The day finally arrived when we were to depart to take up different paths in life. On one hand I was delighted for not having to fight anybody to get into toilet during office rush hours, but on the other hand there was sadness of losing my best buddy with whom I have spent five golden years. We shared every dream in life. While he packed his baggage to be opened at IIM Calcutta, I took my maiden flight to Hyderabad with a dream to make a career in technology. That day the “to be manager” gave me the secrete funda, the guru mantra, and the sanjeevani booti that helped him get his goal. His funda was embibed in three words. “Mistakes are Repetitive”.

Back to present
What bullshit funda is this. Who repeats mistakes. I don’t repeat and neither do the HE dog(I prefer HE/SHE dog terminology) who lives on the next lane. Since that great “War of Dogs” he don’t even dare to look at any SHE dog of the opposite lane. Moreover I came to know that no alien was ready to act in Koi Mil Gaya sequal KRISHH.. This confirms that men, women, dogs, aliens… nobody repeats mistake. May be my friend was too dumb to do 2+2=8 in every mock CAT. Now IIM Cal has made him President. What bunch of losers these managers are? We technocrat certainly rule the world.

But when I think of my other college friend “Mr X”,I get into a little doubt. Now this guy is biggest frustoo world has ever produced. Daily he opens orkut and put few lines in scrap book of 10 randomly chosen girls. Wordings are like this
“Hi I am X, I work for ABC company, I have done my BTech from IIT-Z. I have interests in blah blah blah. Your smile is so cute and pic awsome.. Lets be friend”

Now sometimes he doesn’t even read that the girl’s about me section specifically mentions “**** off if I don’t know you“. But the guy fails to learn.

And to talk about that girl who use to be sweet is still crying over the love she lost 4 years ago. I have no idea what to do to see her smile. She has simply decided to cry.

And look at me. Daily I spend at least 1-1.5 hr searching things like tooth brush, keys, wallet, pen, handkerchief, perfume and what not. I just don’t know where do I keep them daily. Sometimes I’m so absent minded that I even forget what i’m searching. And this I’m doing since class one. I am actually waiting for the day when every thing would be fitted with Radio Frequency IC’s and i would just have to use a remote to find them. But till that happen I am gonna continue to repeat these mistakes.

I am too tiny and my repetitive mistakes don’t get noticed, but Mr Shivraj Patil(Honorable Home Minister of India) after the Mumbai Blasts said..
“It is not exactly an intelligence failure. We had an idea that terrorists are going to attack financial hub of India. But where exactly we didn’t know”.

Now was Mr Patil expecting terrorists to attack village “Ghatkopar”?? Or did he want terrorists to tell him the exact seat no, next time they place a bomb in a train.

Its funny but true we all repeat mistakes, not once or twice but zillion times. Some times we realize ,and sometimes we don’t. And most of the time we end up saying
OOps!! I did it again

Hi..First again..That feels gud…Atleast I’m first in something.

“Mistakes are Repetitve”..Hmmm…Yup very true..I remember I used to over look questions and sometimes mis read questions in the examination..I wud have done my grad from BITS had I not goofed on 1 stupid question in my exam…

The universal truth is that we all make mistakes and it’s our nature..”To err is human”

When will u gimme a chance to land at ur post first.I have read all your post thrice now.Do you want me to go for the fourth round or can i expect sthing soon.U can have some of my chocolate horlicks..I have lots!! and its really good for blogging.

And don’t regret too much bout not making to BITS or IIT..Reality is not what it looks from outside.And most IITians are not good human-being anyways.Now you have given me material for my next post.Thankk uuuuuuu.

But err is certainly human.I was just wondering bout the repetitiveness and why we don’t accept our mistakes many times.

U guessed it rite the title was inspired by Speare’s song.My neighbour was playin it when i’was writing the post so I just put that.

I always borrow something from here and there at put it up as a post under my name..some cheating is legal u see:)

I think I should keep my mouth shut, as far as quality is concerned.one or two readers is all I get :)

I know anyaways my post are not any literary piece of work that ppl should come and visit..

Its all random rubbish inspired by things arround me.This also explains the quantity as there is no limits of rubbishness..one can keep on writing as much rubbish as one want.Now u see It takes me just 5-10 min to put up one post.
