First attack!

The preparation had taken months. The planning had been meticulous, the timing calculated to the very last second. There was not going to be an error. There couldn't be. This was clockwork, it always had been clockwork.

The time had arrived. They picked their target area and got ready. After assembling together for months, it was finally time for the operation. With a flourish and deep rumble, they jumped.

One of them had already picked a target. Now hurtling towards it at breakneck speed, their was no room for error. There wouldn't be. Increasing speed and slightly changing angle, the target was going to be hit anytime soon. The closer the target came, the bigger he got and the lesser the chance of an error got, if there ever was one. Closer, closer.... Almost there and....

Anger

Anger. Clear, transparent and consuming. It’s a weird emotion. It lies dormant in you, waiting for the right time. Waiting for the time when you flick on that switch in your mind, and then it arises, consuming your thoughts, your ideas, your rationality and everything else until all that’s left is that pure, undiluted anger. 

Everything burns...

We had just stepped out of class when we heard it; a building on Park Street had caught fire. We rushed to the college roof to look, and there it was in the distance. Thick, black smoke; rising menacingly towards the sky....

Death and all her lovers

Two of my friends and I headed to Park Street cemetery. I had always wanted to go there after reading "Gorosthane Sabdhan (Beware in the cemetery)", a story by Satyajit Ray. And since my college is in Park Street it was all the more easier....

Writing a script

So a friend and I started writing the script for our movie. In case you didn't know,we have to make short films every semester. So this time our topic is to make a dynamised movie. Don't ask me what is is, check Wikipedia.
So we started at these benches we have in college where people hang out. And we started it. Here's how it went.

Coming back from college...

Crowds. An endless, faceless stream of people pouring out from every corner. Tall, short, dark, fair, rich, poor, young, old. Alone, couples, groups. All of them with stories to tell and not enough people to hear them.

Updated Google Chrome

Google launched a new version of their web browser, Chrome 3, on 15 September. They say that they have major improvements in the site, so I decided to check it out.

The problem of creative people

The argument placed before us today was roughly this: “If we agree that all tools and resources necessary for the creation of art have already been provided in the universe or rather the earth, then as creative people, what is our job?”
A problem rises in the acceptance of the first assumption itself. Is it really true that all tools and resources necessary for the creation of art are provided to us?

The road to Xavier's

Well finally my worries have been put to rest. On 26th June, I officially became a member of the Xaverian family, a proud student of St. Xavier's college. The road to here was a long one, I had to first pass an admission test with tough GK questions and write essays and articles on given topics.

Then once my name was on the interview list, I had to give an interview where two teachers prodded my interests, my professional and my personal life. After that my name finally appeared in the list of elites who would gain admission.

Think it's the end of the road............
Think again

My life fundas

Well I'm only 18, but I just felt like writing down some things life has taught me. These are based on my experiences with strangers, friends, best friends, relatives, pets, nature and every other thing I saw.
