Witnessed a bus accident..with me in it… :-)

Good news….

Went to college the day before yesterday and got good news….THE COLLEGE IS CLOSED….they said thats because of the rain. Whatever…. soon after that I went with Sujan to Hari’s place (Besant Nagar). It was raining and I thought to my self what the hell I’ll stay over for the night and leave tomorrow. Me and Sujan left hari’s place the next day by 5:30 pm. We had tea from lovely bakers and we both went our separate ways.

At the bus stop in Besant Nagar….

It took some time for the bus to come…… Can’t blame it……. Maybe because of the rain………  the roads if you notice it’s just like the moon….full of craters….6D came at last…….I thank God for that (6D goes directly to Kannagi Salai)……

Inside 6D….

It was raining heavily and I asked the guy in front me if he could close the window. He did…..God bless him…..Yeah right….as if…. he was showing off. It was boring and I tried to read the names of the shops but the window panes were all tinted and over that the rain hitting the windows…. It was so stuffy inside….God it was so boring…..It was so painful.

The accident….

At last Santhome. Just another stop and I reached Kannagi Salai. It was so quiet inside except for the rain hitting the roof. Suddenly everything went wrong. We all heard a huge sound scrapping the left side of the bus and the whole bus just started to shake. What ever hit the bus broke most of the windows on the left side. The bus just slanted on two wheels and fell back on its four with a huge jerk. All the ladies inside where screaming (I don’t have to explain how a lady scream right). It was scary. The lady sitting next to me fell right on top of me and bloody hell when I saw her before the accident she looked like a woman I could carry with one hand…never judge a person with the way they look…. GOD ALMIGHTY….she weighed a ton…..  People were screaming and shouting that the bus went over a person….it was a complete chaos….  There were glass pieces on the seats. The bus stopped right in the middle of the road and everyone got out to see what hit the bus. A huge branch from a tree fell on the bus. Luckly no one was hurt. Most of the ladies had their hands on the chest and on their mouth and the men were all just staring at each other.

Next step…

I took another bus to Kannagi Salai still shivering from fright or was it the rain. Whatever….It was scary and it was like as if I was in some horror movie…. the sound, the screaming, the bus shaking, the fear on the peoples faces…GOD.

In my room….

I was so happy once I reached my room. I layed down on my bed and still couldnt get that scene out of my head. I was happy to be alive and thanked God for another chance.

When my dad said ,”Choose yr laptop son”

Introduction

The day I entered ICAT (Image College of Arts, Animation & Technology), I asked my dad if he could get me a laptop. His answer was always like I’ll see about that or he just nods his head and that means he’s doubtful… I stayed in an apartment in Kalpagam Avenue in MRC Nagar. There were 6 of us.

There was this guy named Hari Haran. A smart guy . When I entered my apartment for the first time I saw his computer and I was like – OOOOO Shit…When am I going to get one like that…..Everyday I dreamt  to own one like that…Every month I reminded my parents to get me a laptop.

Why I never got one in the first place?

Its not that my parents didn’t have money or that they can’t afford to buy a laptop. I have two sisters… and whenever my parents wanted to send me the money my sisters would call my parents to send them some  money for giving their college fees or their hostel fees.

I waited for…… How I got a ……….

I waited for 2 years to get a laptop……. This year 09  in the month of May, I got the opportunity to go to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The place I was brought up and studied till grade 12th. I was there for just a week.  Two days left to get back to Chennai and my dad asks me if I wanted to go out with him somewhere.

Well I have 2 days left to be with them so…yeah…why not… Just the two of us…. kept going….. reached Olaya ( a damn rich and luxury place). Stopped in front of computer store……. OK son, go in and choose your laptop….What the ****………Your kiddin’ me right…… Went in and chose the best laptop….. Saw the price and O Shit. No way my dad is gonna get that one……

Walked out of the shop with the very same laptop I chose. It was worth SAR 6,000. In Indian rupees its worth Rs 75,000 to 80,000 with a descent config….

- Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.40Ghz
- 400 GB – 4 GB RAM
- 15.4″ TruBrite Dispaly
- NVIDIA® GeForce® 9600M GT with 512 MB dedicated VRAM
- DVD Super Multi Drive
- Vista Home Premium

damn….modelin’ & sculptin’ a dog with wings

SIR: Ok Ryan. What do you want to model?

ME: Well……hmmmmmm……awwwwww……….I don’t know………

SIR: Remember its for your portfolio. So whatever you choose its got to be really good.

ME: I see. Weelllllllllllll………….. How about a dog?

SIR: Why dog?

ME: I like dogs. Cute.

SIR: Just a dog. Its simple. Got to make it such a way that people will admire it. How about a dog with wings? A fantasy character.

ME: Thats good.

THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I EVER MADE

Taking reference………..

I started taking references from the net and whats more I had to run behind dogs to get a picture of them. That was the toughest part. They won’t even stay still. Its like when I take a picture, they just get up and look at me as if I’m taking a picture of them without their permission and then walk away.

Well I got it all at last. Pictures of dogs from the net and live references. Now I know every dog thats near my college and even the ones that hang around near my hostel. I’ve stared at dogs for hours just to know their body structure. wheeeeew……….

Modeling …………

Started modeling the dog and it was kind of ok. Took

me a whole week but did it…..

Sculpting………

First time working in ZBrush. Learned the tools finally but still got to work on the sculpting part. Took me 1and a half weeks to complete sculpting. Got screwed a lot in betwe

en for taking so long to complete it. Sir said he just need 3 days to model, sculpt and texture a model like mine. (Pls note he is years experience than I am)

Texturing……..

Feathers???????? for a dog??????? O Shit……….. Now to stare at the birds……O my GOD.

Will be putting a pic of the dog once its completed. Until then stay tuned…….

The 14 Underwears…..

During your school days your parents keep telling you.”Do your home work”, “Study this” “Study that”. When you keep your work pending and only a week is left for your exam, you get so tensed and you think out loud, ” O shit, I got hell lot of things to mug up”.

Well, here is a true story that happened to me a few days ago.

I had 7 underwears. At the end of the week I wash all 7 so that I can wear it for the next week. When i say wash it, it means by hand and not by mans greatest achievement – The Washing Machine. At the end of the last week I reached my room at 8 pm and thought to my self,” Its only 8. I have time till 12 am to wash my underwears. No probs “. I went straight to my laptop and watched a movie called District 9. After the movie got over I was so lazy to wash that I thought I could wash after sometime and I put the alarm for 11 pm and I went back straight to the laptop.

11 pm………

For get it. I’ll wash it tomorrow. Went to bed.

Next morning………

O shit! I don’t have a clean underwear to wear to college (had to be in college by 10.30 am). No probs. I’ll just buy another underwear and wash the rest once I come back to my room. Went to the shop and bought 7 underwears instead of one. Nice…..

End of the week……

Put all 14 underwears in a bucket of water……..added washing detergent…….. started washing all 14 underwears……..took me 4 hours (including 7 socks and 7 baniyans) ……ended the washing with a severe back, arm and leg pain…….. went to bed crucified.

Next morning……..

Something doesn’t seem right with me………my head is heavy……everything is disorted…….whats going on……. went to my cupboard and took out a thermometer…….put it in my mouth…..waited for 1 min and 30 secs………removed it and O SHIT, SHIIIIIIIIT……102……….Damn……..

In the hospital……

The fee is Rs 100. k. No probs. He gave me a prescription. No probs. I fall ill very rare. Went to medical store and bought the medicines for Rs. 280.

MORAL OF THE STORY

If you are a student

Never keep any thing pending. Do it immediately.

If you are a college student staying in a hostel

Shit!!!I wish my mom was here.

If you are a married man

Wear a helmet. You can expect your wife to blow your head with a frying pan for buying so many underwears for her to wash.
