All about GAJJJJABB

GAJJJJABBB.. this is not only a word. this is something else here in NIT-D.enter the campus, just say "aree gajjab" or "gajjab" whatever the way u like and ur presence will certainly b acknowledged by the ppl.however getting a full attention will depend on the situation or the place at which u r at that moment.the probablity is very high that u'll b greeted by another person saying "gajjab".


Gajjjjabb is derived from GAZZAB ,e.g. gazzab dhaana.but due 2 different tones , accents and usage it has finally been transformed to gajjab.it means something very special, awesome or gr8.it is an exclamation to different emotions.the way u say gajjab says abt ur mood.

Gajjjjabb in NIT-D has become a part of many people's life and has recently become one of the most popular lingos surpassing the other words which were used in common language.
The history of Gajjjjabb says that this word was invented when some students of hall4 of 2008 batch started using it everywhere after they were fascinated by bhojpuri.they seldom used their mother tongue in their conversations.moreover,they added the flavour of using the word Gajjjjabb 2 most of the sentences. one could listen to this emaohatic word at jhoops,technoe ,canteen wherever u go.soon the word propagated to junior batches and its usage to.the pioneers in this task were SMD trio of 2009 batch and this legacy is still being carried on to newer batches.

The word Gajjjjabb became more and more popular after a video of laloo prasad named LALOO'S ANGREZI showing one of his greatest speeches in Parliament while presenting the rail budget 2008.
The height of Gajjjjabb was when a puppy was named Gajjjjabb.its pic was taken and an orkut a/c was online .The puppy (of course the ppl who created its profile) used to scrap ppl and send them friend requests.

At present Gajjjjabb is everything 4 some ppl. Gajjjjabb , ek takiyakalam hai . Gajjjjabb is a greeting when u meet ppl.Gajjjjabb is a way of expressing themselve,their happiness , their troubles.Gajjjjabb is life here 4 them.The SMD trio along with many others has also constituted a cricket team named GAJJJJABB and is no doubt the most popular team of the college.


One thing is sure that who so ever was ,is ,or will b associated with this magical word Gajjjjabb can never forget the events , feelings and emotions related to it.

Thanx 2 all who feel they r related 2 GAJJJJABB...!!!!

The Art of Being Witty

Some ppl r frequently credited with a pleasing though perplexing sense of humor.Not the ha-ha variety but more literary.They turn their phrases with such cleverness that their aphorisms are remembered long after they are themselves forgotten.


some witty quotes:-

1. he has all the virtues i dislike and none of the vices i admire.
2. a modest little person with much to be modest about.
3. he has no enemies but is intensely disliked by his friends
4. some cause happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go.
5. for u and ur friend if u have one.
6. i didn't attend the funeral but i sent a nice letter that i approved of it
7. why do u sit there looking like an envelope without an address on it?
8. he loves nature inspite of what it did to him.
9.he is simply a shiver looking for a spine to run up.
10. he has the attention span of a lightening bolt.
11. is that a gun in your pocket or u r just happy to see me??
12. he's a very balanced man with a chip on both shoulders.
13. there is only one thing that is worse than being talked about,and that is not being talked about.
14. i have nothing to declare except my genius.
15. i hope u have not been leading a double life-pretending to be wicked but being really good all the time.that would be hypocrisy.



I was really amused when i saw the above article in a newspaper few years back. I some how managed to keep a cutting of the article at that time.

A RENDEZVOUS with a BRIDE

The car with the bride sitting inside entered the resort and stopped nearby me.i was called up by a sweet voice from the car.it was the bride,my cousin.she had recognised me though we hadnt met each other for many yrs.we r not close relatives as we meet only during occasions and wedding ceremonies of our mutual relatives.but this time i was meeting her on her own wedding.
she had just finished up with her bridal makeup at some parlour and arrived at the resort where the wedding was to take place.the "baraat" ,as we call it was about to reach at the venue.
she called me again and this time i recognised who was calling me.i went near her and we exchanged greetings.she told me that she needed me to b with her as she was feeling nervous and her friends had not yet arrived.i agreed,obviously, and helped her reach the room where she was supposed to wait till the baraat arrives.
she was shivering perhaps due 2 nervousness though she was wearing a very heavy bridal dress.i made her sit and offered a glass of water to make her feel comfortable.god knows what was going through her mind on her wedding day.she now felt easy and relaxed.suddenly she clutched me and i was startled.her mobile was ringing.she picked up the fone and it was her elder sis.she talked to her and nw she seemed more relaxed.i assured that she was fine.i cackled a joke and she giggled.uuuhhh!!! now she was ok.soon we started chatting normally as we do whenever we meet and she started shooting a long list of personal and formal questions at me.
the room was a sort of greenroom with a large mirror.she looked into the mirror and asked me a question."how am i looking?".i hate to answer this question whenever a female asks me because u cannot say the correct answer.u have to spoof them always.but this time i said the fact.she was looking great.a beautiful and innocent looking bride."nobody else today will b so pretty ".she was very happy and pleased to know that.just then a thought retrieved into my mind.i smiled a bit and she noticed it and out of curiosity she asked the reason. i told her abt a wedding scene in "Pyar ke side effects" abt why does a woman marry? she laughed her heart out when i described the scene.
soon she started telling hw excited she was for her wedding.she had got the best wedding dress and jewellery of the town and above it she had manipulated more on her dress in order to look more charming.she started walking as if it was a ramp infront of the large mirror.i wondered she would have been in delhi for lakme india fashion week if it was not her wedding.she asked me the same question i had mentioned earlier and this time i convinced her that she was indeed looking beautiful.
the saying goes its way again."wherever the women r concerned the unexpected always happens".
a few moments ago she was so nervous that she was about to faint because it was her own wedding and now she is highly excited because its her own wedding.
her sis came inside the room and she was welcomed by the bride with the question that i had already answered twice.meanwhile there was a noise of crackers and band that signalled the arrival of the baraat.the unexpected happened again.soon both the sisters hugged and started weeping.

i tried to ease their moods again and was successful in doing that.soon we escorted the bride to the stage where her groom was waiting and then started the long procedure of photo sessions and rites and rituals.

from a girl's point of view, it is the irony of life.she has to live her life in two phases, in two different places,two different families, two different environments.

but u can experience a sudden change of emotions that too contrasting ones only in case of women

Just Another morning @ NITDGP

my alarm clock beeped and i looked out for the time shown by it.it said 5.30 in the morning. i didn't know who had set that alarm time in my clock.
no need to feel sorry 4 me. i was already awake.i had not slept yet.another nightout herein. i had returned late after having a very amusing birthday treat of one of my friends and thereafter got involved in a sort of discussion with my other frnds who have accompanied me to my room.my frnds left for their respective rooms after the so called discussion was over.i was thinking of writing a post on my blog and so i started with it.i didn't notice how the time got spent untill i was startled by the alarm.normally one finds it really difficult 2 remain awake after 3am.
it was morning already when i looked out of my room's window.i was not feeling sleepy.but i was feeling hungry.as such i decided to visit our own Ravida ka jhoops,the multi cuisine restaurant of NIT Durgapur.but it was not opened yet.it was a bit early.
i had nothing to do but to wait 4 some more time.just then an idea struck my mind.i decided to have a morning walk.thus, i moved out of my room and was welcomed by a wonderful breeze.i had never xperienced it like that. i moved on, out of my hostel and started walking with nobody accompanying me.it was just another morning in NIT-D but something was different.i had never heed on the beauty of morning in the campus.i did have a number of nightouts b4 but never did i decide to have a stroll.i had a round of the campus njoying the cool breeze and witnessing the dawn and reached jhoops.i had already observed the smoke coming out of burning of cowdung cakes and coal which Ravida uses in the chulhas.
i reached the jhoops and was received by a greeting,"Morning ".it was Ravida ,already preparing tea. some of the guards were also there.they come there daily 4 their bed tea or first tea i must say.preparations for the day were going on in the adjoining jhoops too.
i gave a smile in reply and asked for a cup of tea.i ordered something to eat.i found prashanto coming from the side gandhi morh on his bicycle that was looking no less than a load carrier.every part of bicycle use for carrying something or the other.the tea had been prepared in the meantime.i noticed Ravida offering some of the tea to God of fire before giving it to anybody else.prashanto took out some of the aggarbattis ,lit them up and started worshiping.then he moved out of the jhoops and started worshiping in a particular direction.he was offering prayer to the Sun God.
just then i came to know where was east direction with respect to our campus. i wonder how many of NITDians know 4m which direction of the college,the sun rises.
u'll definitely meet some stray dogs and loads of mosquitoes if u go that early to jhoops.so don't forget to cover ur body or u'll get eaten and bitten by mosquitoes.
i was having my cup of tea when i saw one of my classmates coming.i was used 2 nigthouts as he prefered the silence of the night for his coding and research work.he was another one who didnt know where the east direction was.i saw some going 4 a jog .some were running with bags on their shoulders to catch a bus and some more returning back 2 college.everyday ppl leave and return to college irrespective of a working day or a holiday.
the weather was brilliant and charming,so it added to the pleasure of having a nightout.every sip of tea giving u some energy.i njoyed it a lot. i finished with my eating stuff and started feeling sleepy now.

mind u ,don't get used to nightouts.they can be harmful to ur health.so just have them for fun and occasionally only.
those who haven't tried it out, have a nightout once and observe the beauty of an NITD morning.
