Contest Entry: The Perfect Road Trip

To me, a Perfect Road Trip is about getting away from our lives with the people you love the most, to the place you love the most. Because that's what a road trip is all about; getting a break from school or work for a day or two, and go crazy, remaining oblivious to everyone and everything in your work life.

To plan a perfect road trip, you'll need four things; company, transport, a relaxed state of mind, and a destination. 

When it comes to company, most of us have two options, friends and family, the former being the better choice when it comes to this. Family are always fun to have around, in most situations, but when it comes to hitting the road and having a blast, friends are the clear option. 

Transport would be the biggest problem in road tripping. Taking your own car could be a hassle, so you'd resort to public transport. Busses and trains are real fun, and offer a challenge and unique joy to the trip. Although using the trains' pubic bathrooms and sharing a cabin with sweaty little men may not appeal to most people, you have next to no stress about petrol, maintenance, or loosing your keys at a hotel. Then again, nothing beats high speed getaways down NH4 with friends in an A/C car! So here, private cars are the best.

A relaxed state of mind is quite easy to attain. You just need to let go of all work, deadlines, and anything that might cloud your mind. On this note, throwing your phones out of the car might be a good idea! 

And last but certainly not the least, the destination. It goes without saying the you need to plan a spot which is far away from home. Not too far, but far enough that your mom can't reach you even when you're in trouble. That said, beaches, resorts with swimming pools, and hill stations might be a good idea. Even wandering aimlessly in a car can be extremely fun and adventurous. 

Overall, according to me, the Perfect Road Trip is one where you have all your best friends, in your car, leisurely cruising down from Chennai to Kanyakumari and back. The souvenirs should be nothing but the memories, Hangover style!

Computer's Back!! :D

Finally got my computer back, and i'm itching to play CS:GO again. For those of you who do play it, my faction is hosting a tournament tomorrow(27.12.12) for moderately tough players if anyone is interested. Today I finally got my video camera to work and I will be filming the guitar lessons as soon as I can when I get time off sailing and movies!

Balaji!!!

It was really sad to hear that my prank calling idol BIG FM Balaji is stopping his prank show 'Cross Talk'. I found out why and hear's what happened; Two Australian Rjs prank called the nurse who was in charge of Kate Middleton, and they tricked her into telling some information which was confidential. The next day, she was called by the board of royal people, and they came to know that she had divulged this information. Only then, she came to know that this was a prank call. She dies right there out of shock. Sad huh? Yeah, but I still don't think Balaji should give up Cross Talk because of this one incident...

Exams Over!!

Yes! Exams are finally over, and in celebrationI've uploaded my first recorded prank call here! But this was not recorded using a call recorder or in a silent place, it was recorded in a seaside clubhouse, so please bear with the quality of the call because it will not be that great. Oh well, I called up this xerox shop pretending to want to print out 5000 odd pages for a 'top secret conference'. Outright cheesy idea, but there you go! :P

Guitar Lessons

Ok so guys who are really interested in playing the guitar, you can call me up and enquire because guitar classes are starting in SIFM on January. And yes, a professional guitar instructor will be teaching you guys, not me. Although, I will be starting a Youtube channel that teaches songs to play on guitar - no theory, just popular songs. Some of the first songs i'll be teaching are; Hall of Fame, Breakeven, The man who can't be moved, Love Story, Fifteen, You belong with me, Begin Again, and many others. If you want me to teach a song that you guys particularly like, just leave a comment and i'll work on it :)

Prank Calls

Today I called Sathyam Cinemas to look for tickets for my parents, and I talked in this Tanglish accent - I'm pretty sure the guy on the other end started laughing his ass off. So today I had an AWESOME idea - why not record prank calls and put in up on the blog? Because what I did was sure as hell funny for whoever was listening in. So that's that - after exams I'm starting up a prank call thing on this site. I'll just call a random number every two days, record the call and upload it! Places i'll definately be calling are Domino's, Pizza Hut, Sathyam Cinemas, and a pet shop asking for a pet crocodile or dinosaur or something :P Yeah, that'll be fun! :D

Probably my longest post... :P

When studying for exams became too boring, I had this idea of maintaining a blog. I don't know how many people are gonna read this stuff, but I thought of putting it up anyways. Just think of it as a more modern Wimpy Kid book :P The entire blog idea was taken from Barney Stinson. Its going to be LEGENDARY!

All bright ideas comes during exams, I'm sure many of you will agree with me. Last time it was the band, the time before that the game. This time, I had this idea of making guitar tutorials on Youtube. I mean, how hard could it be right? Just film myself teaching popular songs. I know how much it helped me out when I was starting out! Anyways, we'll see how that goes, for now I'm stuck in stupid school with stupid exams.

These days all I do at home is play guitar, minecraft or sleep. Aah, sleeping. Now I finally understand what Anand has been doing his whole life. It feels good, I have to say. Don't have my computer with me either, which sucks because I'm resticted to Android gaming on my tablet. Haven't played Counter-Strike:Global Offensive in MONTHS now, so Andy, if you catch up its not my fault.

Well, at least the band thing is going on well now. All the members are ready to rock and roll. All we really need to do now is get down to practice, which we havent really done yet. On well, I guess after exams, everything will start to make sense!

I think this blog thing might actually work out for me. I'll start posting game reviews, my photoshop stuff, my games, songs and all shit into this blog and see if it actually goes somewhere. For now - exams, so see you guys later!!
