Summer of '09





" Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life"

Ah....Sigh! I am back to the grind after two AWESOME months in Bangalore . The city , the IISc campus ( where i stayed ) , the clime , the food ( a gastronomic adventure to be precise : put some Chinese from Chungs ( or Chunk's :D ), some unparalleled Italian from Freska's , a much forgettable outing at Cafe Pazcuccino , heavenly Pizza Hut and to top it all the deadly DeathByChoc ( i have died thrice :P )and the gelato at Italicks ( where a certain much-feared Count happily glutted himself with Strawberry Sundae :D ) , and most importantly new-found buddies ( who are the REASON the entire experience was so much more memorable ) have left an indelible mark on my mind . The long walks through the canopied roads to the lab , the mess and back to the hostel , the mess-food :P , Tea-Board , Nesara, Gobi Manchurian etc. followed by infinitely long yaking sessions at midnight in Gym Cafe , associated lukkhagiri ( :P ) at JVH helped maintain an equipoise in my head which was just short of getting holistically screwed by the burden of my research project . This hurriedly-written post is dedicated to Bangalore and the folks ( especially N & S )there !!

Cheers ,
Count Grishnackh

Nikhil said...

Greetings Mortals :P !! The Count is back after a hiatus .
@ Blue Flame , Aggie : Thanku Thanku.....your compliments mean a lot !!! Bangalore was awesome fun....elysian to be precise!! and life now is a perfect foil to that.... GRE words...words...and more words :P . I know , the templates at that site ( look at the bottom of this page incase u havent found it yet! ) rock !!

@ Deng : Like i told u ....the 3rd pic is an allusion to the 'Fall of the Count' . I finally had a VERY VERY PINK ICECREAM ( by a third party's force obviously )....the first thing 'pink' i have ever been associated with . Altho. it may sound trifling , few will understand the effect of this event on the life of COUNT GRISHNACKH ( aka 'The Blackest ov the Black ' ):D :D . And what's with the comment-posting rampage on evry one's blog .

William Deng-Deng K. said...

U lost all ur hard-earned respect my evil friend. The Yo-group was proud of u but its not anymore. Because of that stupid pink ice cream that u ate. Blue would have done. In fact blue would have been awesome. It would have made The Mighty Deng very very happy. But no! U chose pink. Die now.

Nikhil said...

LOL. Like i said , i was force-fed the PINK ICECREAM !! This pic is a photography trick by ppl colluding to bring the Count down !! :P Nevertheless ,as per ur wishes i'l inter myself :P

@ Blue Flame : GRE on Oct. 16 ....why so late man ?? Anyways BEST OF LUCK .... i am sure u'll ace the test :) ! And as far as the fish are concerned ( :P ) , the fish apparently culminate their communal-orgy-kiss thing at the point where u stop moving ur mouse cursor within that white box .... inane thing i know :D !!
