First post this year

I cant believe this. This is the first post that I am writing in more than 2 months. What the hell was up with me. I got into a new role at work. Yeah thats good. But surely had a lotta time to write and surely a hell lotta ideas to share. I was just being a lazy bum. Daymn. I am not promising anything now. Just going to do it. Posting is more like a smoke you have in the balcony of your bedroom. You let you thoughts linger. Just that you write them down.

But for sure there are a hell lotta things going on in my life write now. I’ve started to feel old exponentially. I think its fair though. And the fact too. But lets just keep that aside. Where the hell has January disappeared. I have no idea at all. but I will not let this February get away.

BTW, blues is majorly on my playlist these days. I cant tell you how many times I must have played Mustang Sally by Buddy Guy. My iPod count is around 400+ in less than a month for that song. I am going nuts on that one. Its a must have for breakfast, lunch, cab, relaxation, sleep, dinner… I mean for everything. But its fun exploring into different things.

Had a good time with some buddies talking on my terrace. So a lil tired. Tired cos there is a story behind it and I am too tired to tell. <tata>

Google’s real time search works really well.

Today, I just wanted to checkout how realtime the Google realtime search is. So as the India Sri Lanka mat was in progress, I tweeted something and then refreshed the page in Google. Its bloody amazing to see how fast Google is updating content on tweets. checkout the screenshot

Everyone knows what has been happening in the past week. At one side we have the students of Osmania University who are resorting to violence cos the police beat up one of them for being too smart towards them. On the other side we have the Telangana Rashtriya Samithi people resorting to violence cos they want Telangana as a seperate state. Lets look at both of them in detail.

Osmania University, is one of the worst universities Ive seen. The only thing its known for is its bloody huge campus. The rest of the actions of the students are a bloody shame to mankind. Most of the student are high on Ganja all the time, the class rooms are for sleeping, the rules of exam can easily be bent, the students think they own the university. I remember the days when my college bus used to pass through the university, the conductors was shit scared to ask for fare. Cos they would just stop the bus and cause a nuisance not allowing it to pass. And over all of this, they complain that they are not able to acquire jobs. Let me tell you guys. Its simple to get a job. You need just two things. Study well and learn to speak. Thats all that you need to do. And about this shit that you are resorting to these days, just grow up boys. You go around breaking windows of random stores on the road. Wait for a while and think. What about that person who earns his livelihood through his store. He is having to bear all the expenses. What if I did the same to your house. What you are doing is shameful and juvenile .

Now coming the TRS protests. These mothafokas want telangana as a seperate state. Ask why? Cos the people from the rest of the Andhra are getting more jobs and that there are hardly any left for them. I am from Vizag, I know the standard of Andhra University. If the people from Osmania University had to take an Andhra University test paper, I bet you cant even Pass leave along good percentage. I can say for sure that people in Andhra are way smarter than you guys. Try to catch up rather than crying like babies. And as far as that chutiya minister who is admitted in the hospital, cant you see he is just using you guys. There are tons of photos of him drinking juice during his so called “Chor Bhook Hadtal”. He cares of fuck for what you have to go through. Try making something out of your life. Try working hard for a change. Its a little tough, but will pay you in the long run. Try helping someone cross a road rather than smashing a window. Maybe you will be given an exception in Hell. Try making it a peaceful Hyderabad. After all you have to live in it.

There is so much anger in me right now, that I would love to take a dump in your mouths. But that would make me a little more like you and a little less like me. I am being patient. Dont let the rest of the people lose it.

DJ with an attitude, a good one and reasonable

// December 4th, 2009 // No Comments » // DJ, General, Music

Blackjack has always been one of the best DJs I’ve listened to. I started listening to him on Tuesdays when he used to play in 10 Downing street, Hyderabad. He is probably the only guy in Hyderabad who has a decent knowledge of Rock music. Recently I received a message by him on Hard Rock Cafe Hyderabad’s community on Facebook. This is what it reads

DJ decides on requests…when or not… I aim to please but since i happen to be one of those performers who makes every attempt for a seamless steady wave of music too heavy too early and too soft at a specific part of an evening doesnt make sense…and end of the day this is a dj driven music not a juke box where all you drop a coin and it will play regardless…:) I wish our dear rockers and others would understand and respect this.

I’ve been a DJ for quite some time now and I totally agree with this. Although we played completely different genres, the rule for a good evening remains the same. Make a request, but dont just stare at him like he is your sex slave. If the DJ feels it fits into the set or the mood he will play(at the right time). If you dont want to be offended by his actions, request something related to the music playing at that moment.

Selling away djnikhil.com

// December 3rd, 2009 // No Comments » // General

I started DJing about 2 yrs back. I must say that during this period I’ve had quite a lot of experience with some of the biggest clubs and playing with some of the biggest DJs in India. But it has to come to an end now. The reason? I hardly had time for myself. I am 27 now and still havent thought about a serious career. Working as a DJ is definitely not fetching me enough to save up Added to that is the lack of sleep and a lot of other things. I think I would rather do one thing at a time and spend the rest of the time for myself. So now that I dont consider myself as a DJ. I am thinking of selling away djnikhil.com that I have owned for over an year now. Would be happy to accept bids. I am not really greedy. I am ready to sell it away for quite cheap for a domain name like this. Just leave a comment here and I will get back

A change for good

Its the same old shit with work and home and partying on the weekends. Several thoughts in mind lingering but have no idea how to make em constructive. I think some things are just meant to be lingering. Its been a pretty good start to the week though. Not much of work for a typical Monday though. But my sched from tommorow seems to be pretty busy. I am all up for it.

Damn the Twitter. I’ve lost my habit of blogging ever since this bitch as stepped into my life. I think its time to go Old Skool blogging.
