I will start this blog with a fact that may seem pretty incredible but i assure all of you its as true as anythin written in the Bible is for religious fanatics. I was single for one whole year and i was a really happy single definin and redefinin awesomeness at will. All this while the moment i feared was when some girl would again creep into my life and i will have to let go of all des habits and used to savour every moment of my single life. Well but i now as i am about to enter one week of a relation all i can say is 'Awesomeness neva dies.'
Well after chekin out some dozen girls in as many months i found the perfect match for myself...someone more commitment phobic than i am...ho ho ho...Unbelievable??I dont give a damn to all you suckers who dont believe it but its true its true. Well she offerd me contacts of other girls. Though i rejected the offer i realised what i had just done. I had just picked up the girl i had dreamt of all des 12 months...Well some restrictions though...Cant smoke mor dan 15 cigs in one day...I will take that any day.She freaks out when i say i love you and well i gotta say though i sound pissed i derive immense pleasure when she is at her commitment phobic best...And well every moment i realise that the fear that almost killed me all des single days has not come true...I will be awesome 4ever...

figurin it out
Wel guys the 1st thin that strikes when u hear d word a coveted figure is a chick who is worth ur last penny 2 get in2 bed with. However girls are the precise objects i have tried not to concentrate on in this blog.
The reason for that is in this blog i have tried to figure out the truths behind the pretentions and somehow girls are stil enigmatic to me and i wil dare not try unravel d mystery that has caused many a wise man a crack at the noble prize. Midway through the blog though i am having second thoughts. Maybe in figuring it out lies a pleasure that can not be paralleled by any other honour human kind has discovered so far. Maybe there lies the answers to all the fundamental questions of life.
Well one thing that has kept me up at nights is what is the thing girls want. Its so easy with guys. We want girls and the next step after that.We have no idea.How do we get there. Well we dont know that. Thats why you see guys honking car horns, yelling from construction sites because these are the best ideas we have had so far. I changed my mind again lets leave woman unexplored.
Now lately i have bin tryin2 figure out what is life. What i was lookin 4 was not really a biological answer and my best friend knew that. So he came up with the cliche 'life's a bitch.' I realised he was right about it because if you have enough resources you can make life do what you want it to do and same thing with a bitch if you have enough cash in your pocket you can get the bitch to do what you want her 2 do. Some cliches are really useful.
So after finding the answer to the basic question my quench for answers became all d more unsatiable. However to be honest i have still not done really well with the answers. So guys come back in a week 4 some more interesting answers.

STRIKE 17
hey guys i am back with another law. Sure the impression you have formed about me from the laws so far is of being a misogamist who is tired of using his hands and in this hapless state had confined himself to the blissful world of law making leaving behind realty issues and enjoying his stardom in his caesophranic world. I wont say all this does not bother me & to be absolutely frank this is the reason why i hav decided to go one better and write a law that will be appreciated by all hapless romantics who pretty much are not to be seen everywhere in today's world.
Well what i will like to point out here is that this blog is not about naked girls, their double apples or what is the appropriate use of poles and holes. This time i have gone one better and tried to give my comments on how to build a relation or rather exactly when you know for sure that after proposin u wont fall flat on ur back looking for support every direction u can reach out for.
Well first lets deal with signals. You are talking to a girl and both of you are engrossed in the conversation and just before leaving you want to specify that you do not want to leave it there that night. Well the universally proclaimed way of doing this is ask for her phone number and if she asks for urs 2 den knw 4 sure that even she knows u r hittin on her and she does not mind that. If she does not then you have a uphill task ahead. Guys i will suggest all of you do not try innovate this step. Anyways coming back to it if she gives you her number with cheerful promptuousness then know for sure that the girl will wait for your call. There are two ways to go about the job in hand now. Either make her wait for your call or call her as soon as it is possible. I am not much of a patient guy and being a late waker all i do the entire day is play catch up with time. So this waiting thing has never been my cup of tea. So now how do you exactly know whether you are going anywher with the relation. Well here is where my law comes in2 force. Just remember the next three lines as they are lines in d Bhagwad Geetaa or a bible.
The one who hangs up has one strike credited to him.
The one who calls up after a mutual hang up has a strike score of minus 1
If anyone calls after the other person has promised a call back then d latter has a strike score of 2
As soon as the strike score reaches 17 you are eligible to propose with a surety rate of 100 %. Till the next blog chaos. Signing off souptik

hole & pole law
well guys you can guess what 'hole' means and what 'pole' stands for. So i wont waste any time to explain all this bull shit. Lets come down to the point. Well have you ever passed your day away thinkin of hole just 2 realise no parking is written over it in block letters & in frustration used ur hands to manage the raging pole. Well one of these days one of my seniors gave me a nice piece of advice that do not make laws it seems u r just 2 tird of usin ur hands but well for everyone who thinks that i talk of laws only bcoz all i can do is use my hands i hav a piece of advice 4 u 'dont confuse urslf wid me' bcoz not only u r underminin the fact that u r one of the biggest looser in d planet u r also demeanin my awesomeness....
Anyways guys lets come to the hole & pole law...My double apple law received the compliment of being the grossest thing that many girls have read so i hav kept this real decent. Well guys what i wanna advice out here after being in two failed relations each of which lasted one & a half year i think the one reason why d relations did not stick was bcoz we had planned a lot 4 our future and things did not unfold accordin to our likings so mch so that break up was d only possible way out. So what the Hole & Pole law says is that do not think of anything but the hole (4 d boy) & d pole (4 d girl) when u r startin a relation then as d relationship gets older u may actually start thnkin of other things but the months u r travellin in a time machine should never be more than the number of months you are dating for...Well guys i just hope that this piece of wisdom helps at least one of you to keep your relationship longer than what it is stated to be i will be happy bcoz d 'awesome single' who says 'nail the bitch' whenever they see a chick is happy with its current crop of members..
Anyways dis is all 4 d nite cya again wid my next blog grass, the terrace on it & rains

SMOKING-AWESOMENESS REDEFINED
Well guys I am back with a bang and writing about one of the most controversial topics again.
'To smoke or not 2 smoke' remains the question.I will start with a STATUTORY warning 'Every time u smoke u reduce 7 minutes of ur life & everytime you read my blog u will feel like lighting up another smoke.'"Introductions over now I will mention the types of people for whom dis blog is not.
One of my friends said 'i smoke because my 7 year old gf dumped me & i need another constant companion' & another said 'Dude my nerves crack under the pressure so i smoke.' DA UH!!!!!!If you dont hav the balls 2 say u smoke bcoz u love 2 den all i can say is get alive loser.Cut the crap guys admit it smoking is highway 2 bliss.
Anyways enough of the boring stuff I wil give u guys one reason y u shud smoke.Mayb smokin will kill u but is nt 1 rule of living living by your own rules so how can we defy that.Just think of it u r sittin in ur rum and well u hav nothin els 2 do, w8 is it u r feelin like doin...Calling a girl???...Nah thats 2 boring...Calling your friend??...2 talk over d same topic u hav discussed 4 d past 5 years...So w8 do u do...U tak d highway 2 heaven,yeaps lite up ur fag & experience w8 heaven feels like on earth.Have not we all felt irritated when we hav had 2 sta 4 a long vacation in our own native place because we can not smoke in front of our parents.Probably a long distance relationship does not suck that much!!!!!!
Now i will actually come down 2 discussing my analysis of brands.Before anything else i wil lik 2 point out that classic is d most commonly smoked brand out her & admit it or not guys 'CLASSIC SUCKS.'I generally smoke Benson & Hedges or Dunhill & 4 me Dunhill's d best brand that ever existed though at Rs 8 per piece it is actually a trifle expensive.Well i started wid Insignia & dats probably d best way 2 start den smoked some Menthols but after i caught a cold neva dared into Menthol again.But something about d smoothness of Dunhill amazes me & though people say CLASSIC is smooth somehow i cant seem 2 agree.I think B&H & 555 r both stronger & smoother dan CLASSIC.Well done with dat i will like 2 deviate a bit from d topic & talk about hookahs.Guys i am new 2 dis but wel i hav tested a lot of flavours & i strongly recommend silver fox.If u r new 2 smokin & cigarette is 2 strong 4 u hookah mite just b d thing u r lukin 4.
Well i gues dis blog will give all smokers a chance 2 say SMOKING ROCKS & SO DOES SMOKERS & quittin cigs, that can take a backseat 4 20 more years at least

DOUBLE APPLE LAW
Guys hold your breath and suit up because what’s coming next is legen ….wait 4 it…. dary.
4 all double guys and wanna be doubles anyway being single is the biggest freedom on this planet and if anyone does not appreciate it go & commit suicide I mean get engaged. Anyways this blog aint about criticizing those double guys this is about my legen (wait 4 it) dary law…the double apple law….Well guys let me brief you about the glorious history of this law….Barrack Obama was contemplating withdrawing from the elections after he saw Hillary’s double apples and fell in love with her…Well that was the time he used to roam around the Mississipi side with a sulking face trying 2 get over Hillary…It was one such day that he by sheer coincidence or on his fortunate day met SOUPTIK…and asked 4 a solution to his problem…Well and the (wait 4 it) Double Apple Law was formulated.
Now having done with the history let us come back to the present, yes guys I am gonna reveal the (wait 4 it) Double Apple Law….Well there’s a simple theory if you are trying to forget a girl, let us get into the mind part of it (actually you don’t remember her you remember her boobs).So in order to forget her all you have to do is over flood your memory with number of boob images so that the image of the girl you are trying to get over gets deleted because your brain can hold a finite number of boob images….Some law I guess!!!!But well I promised if you come to my blog you will have your efforts worth…Anyways lets get into the present tense of the law…Well guys & well I will include Lesbos 2 you r still sulking over how badly your x gf dumped you….No more!!!....Get into your car drive to the closest bar in town and well hook someone new up 4 the night, the moment you see another boob you are close to forgetting your former….Well I have named this phenomenon BOOBSESSION…And if you are still having some doubts just check out OBAMA’s latest progress….He is the democratic candidate and well nearly President…I have his personal number at the moment but well I have asked him 2 text him his office number so I guess I will be able to add one more reference to this blog in a week ….
Anyways lets think what revolutions this law will bring funny thing considering this law is a revelation in itself…The terms revelation & revolution…Well anyways lets get back to the point the Spanish boobs with all those naked girls will be thronged with crowds…just think of it…Goa may declare prizes 4 naked girls just to help those poor guys….Oh!!!!I cant wait 4 it….Man o man Goa beaches with those bitches I am already suited up for this and well whenever you guys will see these naked girls you will remember the (wait for it) DOUBLE APPLE LAW….and well of course the awesomeness of its creator….SOUPTIK.

Well if anyone has been chatting with me for the last few days & he/she has a good observation then I am sure this is bound to have occurred 2 him that only three words are written in caps...well anyone of a more discerning nature must have noticed the letters are TCS...now I don’t need to tell you guys what this blog is about...this company was important & inconsequential for me...
Well guys don’t think my vocab's gone all awry...its just that des 2 words really describe what TCS was for me....It was important because it enabled me 2 concentrate on CAT...get my dad's green light...because without dad's consent I feel myself very very weak...
Well 15 th of July & probably Prabhat & Arni are two people I will never b less indebted 4 calling me to give the TCS apti & what happened after that will be written in BIT's history with golden
letters...I with a half reluctant but a rapidly pulsating heart started the aptitude test...i finished it with some 45 minutes left...& with a even faster beating heart i clicked on finish...& yes I was selected...But then started the most incredible story ever heard of...had 2 get my photos in those 45 minutes....& guess what...i dint even hav them printed...well running like mad man i ran towards the gate...And then i got a bike...i drove like crazy 2wards B.I.T more...& well w8 else...the studio was closed...another 25 minutes of crazy driving saw me reach booti more...i got it clicked...& another 30 minutes I was where I was supposed 2 b in d R&D building...well guess what!!!!...everyone else had submitted their forms by then...appeasing my sincerest pleas the guys @ TCS & my future bosses agreed to let me submit the form...but the story was far far from over...I had to get my resume printed something i had forgotten...the TNP officer said let this be a elimination round....& so it was decided...so I ran again...'its my life' all over again...I came back in another 30 minutes...another round of requests followed & again they acceded...surprised!!!!...don’t be...it’s just the starting of something much more incredible...
Well 16th of July & it was the big day...My interview was scheduled at 8.45 am & i reached there by 9 with goose bumps all over me but i knew nerves was something i could not be allowed to be dominated by...Interviews started at 9 o clock at a very slow pace and they called out people whose interview were to happen last night...With a anxious appetite I waited but then there was no one to really quench my insatiable curiosity...But then there was our cool gang who can make any situation lite...& me, Prabhat, Maheshwari, Arnie, Bidu, Adi & Abhishek started skylarking...Though we discussed some questions the thing got all the more frustrating because Bidu & Abhishek seem to know everything…Well anyways time passed in a way that will make someone reminisce Einstein’s theory of Relativity’s public explanation…the one about time passing by unnoticed when a girl is sitting by…And after an hour of waiting he first two guys came out & there was a flurry of excitement amongst us…There was a crowd surrounding them and the questions they were asked did not really give encouraging signs…However that’s what the BITians are all about to stay cool even when is your ass is burning & stayed cool we did…Well one after another guys came up with stories about exactly how they were fucked and things were not really looking up…And then finally Maheshwari was called and the I felt my heart would escape its socket & go fly higher…Maheshwari went & Manas came in & d vacant gap left was instantly filled up by Manas’s ‘believe it or not’ jokes…Maheshwari came out within 20 minutes with a smiling face & surely luck has smiled on him again as it so often does…Indeed usko darkar thaa luck kaa aur usko laabh huaa….now wo jaa ke plane uraa saktaa hai…Anyways back to the serious stuff.. Anyways as one after the other guys started coming in me & Arnie were the only ones left…Well at last my call came & I have given some excerpts from the interview
Q:-Tell me about yourself.
A:-I am Souptik born in kolkata on 23 rd February, 1987(I knew they were Bengalis).I passed my class 10 from St John D.L.W. Varanasi, & 12th from Sri Aurobindo Instt of Education, Salt Lake. I practiced pool in SAI for two years and am the university captain lawn tennis. I am in the table tennis hostel team. & speed is in my blood & I love racing be it on the streets of Rajarhat or on the roads of NFS.
(1st blow delivered successfully. They seemingly have developed a soft corner for me. Rajarhat is working wonders. Three cheers to the bong connection!!!!)
Q:-What are your strengths & weaknesses?
A:-My strength is I am very competitive & my weakness is that I am overtly competitive & I become too morose after losing.
(They were getting more & more impressed. A job was round the corner for sure & I had rounded up the HR guy for sure)
Q: - You play pool, you are the tennis captain, you even play table tennis. Where do you see yourself?
A: - I see myself sitting in you chair asking questions to the latest hot shots.
HR: - Don’t give me mugged up answers.
(Oops I had overdone it, & the guys expression hardened. Me & my big mouth!!!)
Me:- Sir I am not giving mugged up answers, you ask me any question and the answer will be as apt.
(Did he like my confidence????)
Tech:- I am giving you a loose ball. What is your favourite subject??
Me:- Sir this is not really a loose ball it’s a googly for some one with my GPA.
Tech: - Answer my question.
(His voice was stern. Things were getting messy.)
Me:- Data Structures sir.
(A hint of fear in my voice)
Tech: - What is a tree?
I answered that appropriately and that was where my luck deserted me. He kept on asking one question after the other and I kept on nodding my head & all I could utter was I don’t know sir.
Tech: - What is DFS??
Me: - I don’t know.
(My voice thoroughly trembling now. I had lost my chance. & I stay unemployed to fight another day.)
HR: - Are you ready to sign a five year bond?
Me: - No.
(Now I was getting frustrated with d blatant way he was trying to humiliate me.)
HR: - Do you have any problems with a relocatable job?
(Hold on what was this going on. Maybe they were not humiliating me)
Me: - No sir. By virtue of my dad being a bank manager I have been a traveler since I was a kid.
Tech: - Do you have any questions for us?
Me: - You have been constantly mentioning my GPA. Do you think I should curb my natural instincts & my passions just 2 get a better GPA?
Tech: - Know your priorities & you may leave.
(That was it. TCS gone & I wished myself luck for Wipro.)
Well guys don’t think my vocab's gone all awry...its just that des 2 words really describe what TCS was for me....It was important because it enabled me 2 concentrate on CAT...get my dad's green light...because without dad's consent I feel myself very very weak...

I am in the table tennis hostel team. & speed is in my blood & I love racing be it on the streets of Rajarhat or on the roads of NFS.
(1st blow delivered successfully. They seemingly have developed a soft corner for me. Rajarhat is working wonders. Three cheers to the bong connection!!!!)
Q:-What are your strengths & weaknesses?
A:-My strength is I am very competitive & my weakness is that I am overtly competitive & I become too morose after losing.
(They were getting more & more impressed. A job was round the corner for sure & I had rounded up the HR guy for sure)
Q: - You play pool, you are the tennis captain, you even play table tennis. Where do you see yourself?
A: - I see myself sitting in you chair asking questions to the latest hot shots.
HR: - Don’t give me mugged up answers.
(Oops I had overdone it, & the guys expression hardened. Me & my big mouth!!!)
Me:- Sir I am not giving mugged up answers, you ask me any question and the answer will be as apt.
(Did he like my confidence????)
Tech:- I am giving you a loose ball. What is your favourite subject??
Me:- Sir this is not really a loose ball it’s a googly for some one with my GPA.
Tech: - Answer my question.
(His voice was stern. Things were getting messy.)
Me:- Data Structures sir.
(A hint of fear in my voice)
Tech: - What is a tree?
I answered that appropriately and that was where my luck deserted me. He kept on asking one question after the other and I kept on nodding my head & all I could utter was I don’t know sir.
Tech: - What is DFS??
Me: - I don’t know.
(My voice thoroughly trembling now. I had lost my chance. & I stay unemployed to fight another day.)
HR: - Are you ready to sign a five year bond?
Me: - No.
(Now I was getting frustrated with d blatant way he was trying to humiliate me.)
HR: - Do you have any problems with a relocatable job?
(Hold on what was this going on. Maybe they were not humiliating me)
Me: - No sir. By virtue of my dad being a bank manager I have been a traveler since I was a kid.
Tech: - Do you have any questions for us?
Me: - You have been constantly mentioning my GPA. Do you think I should curb my natural instincts & my passions just 2 get a better GPA?
Tech: - Know your priorities & you may leave.
(That was it. TCS gone & I wished myself luck for Wipro.)

END OF ANOTHER ERA
Tennis fans all over the world would still remember sitting on the edge of their seats watching a bald head man just returning a 180 kmph serve & the man on the other end licking for everything he is worth & sending another thuderbolt.....Yes indeed i am talking about the Sampras vs Agassi rivalry....but such is the vast change that now hardly anyone remembers those classic matches because they have been aptly replaced by Federer vs Nadal clashes.
Indeed for the last few years it has been a wonderful rivalry which has left everyone of us thanking this two superstars for the level they have taken tennis to.No matter how bad a Nadal fan says Federer is in public,inside his heart he fears if not also respects Federer.Such has been the dominance of this man that his closest competitors(before Nadal burst into the scene)were some leap years away from him.Every Federer loss came in the front page with the heading 'is the Federer era over', so rare was a loss to Federer & everytime he bounced back & in style.A perfectionist who left his biggest critics dumbfounded Federer is surely a man tennis will always be proud of.The model of humility Federer surely was deserving of all the praises lavished on him. His stoical manner on the courts surely left nothing to b asked for & the ease with which he dispensed much vaunted players left everyone awestuck.
However,surely noone's glory days is forever.Nadal has stated it emphatically enough that the Federer era is over for us to realise that this is no mean threat.Surely after the French Open demolition Federer will step into the court with Nadal with a beating heart.The fear he instilled into opponents till date wil grip him now.Surely we could have expected Federer,the champion he is, to battle it out but the question lies 'is he still that good.'
Well if you ask me the answer is a big damn emphatic no but then what are champions for but to fire when the chips are down.But the problem for Federer lies in the fact that its not only Nadal but its Djokovic to.With a superb hard court game you can only ignore the Serb at your own risk.Probably all Federer can do now is move over & make way for the rivalry of the coming days because probably his best may not be enough to keep him in the top spot.While we get ready to see whether Federer can establish his supremacy on the grass courts we surely see another era in tennis coming to an end slowly but steadily & again we wont miss Federer because the replacement is ready........

Rajeev does a SRK but can Aamir do a Deewaana
Well finally our much awaited Rajeev Khandelwal has hit the screen again(only that he has gone one better this time all the way to Bollywood).Anyways what this movie has again reemphasised is how truly the saying 'Good things come in small packages' hold for Rajeev.
Not many gave Aamir a chance to do well in the Box Office specially when it was up against Sarkar Raj(which was supposed to establish beyond all doubts the Bachchan Raj in Bollywood).But what Aamir has done is not only outdo Sarkar Raj but it has also thrown another star in the face of Bollywood.(& not a starson for a change)
The movie Aamir is an exceptionally well made movie moving at a brisk pace for most parts.The only places where this movie slows down the viewers(in real life) & indeed the protagonist Rajeev Khandelwal(in reel life) gets some time to reflect exactly in the midst of what they are caught.The movie starts with Rajeev a doctor returning from London & finding out that his family has been kidnapped.He is asked to follow instructions from an anonymous person to get his family back.After this the movie moves at a brisk pace keeping the audience enthralled.The first guess is the director is going 2 take us to a tour of d Mumbai slums,but nothin quite prepares us for the twist that comes in the end.Truly the director shows his hand & surely does not look like a debutante & for Rajeev's part surely competition is no competition for him.The film relies heavily on him & he is probably there in every frame of the film.Not surprisingly though he has absorbed everything superbly & looks ready to give the big guns in Bollywood a run for their money.
Though Aamir is really a well made movie it stil has a long way to go to success because it has released with five other big banner movies & none could be bigger than Sarkar Raj.Though it could prove a blessing in disguise specially as Sarkar Raj failed to impress the audience we will do better to reserve our judgement about what Aamir will do in the Box Office at the same time wishing it all the best.
