The year that was...

Excitement all around as people get ready to welcome another new year in their life. Why do people celebrate this day that has no historical significance? Is it because they get a holiday? Or is it because everyone else is celebrating? Or is it because the police are gonna be strict with the rules? Nah… It is because this day symbolizes hope. Hope that there will be a refreshing change in their lives starting today. Hope that all the sorrow that had encircled them till now would vanish and joy will fill the lacunae that exist in their lives. It is with this hope that people coin various resolutions; the ones that cater to the actions they feel are wrong or unhealthy. But how many people look back at the year that just passed by and do a quite and healthy retrospection? Many do, but the euphoric nature of the upcoming day just makes the whole previous year appear modest. Here is the recollection of my life in 2007, the year that was…

The year started with me taking a resolution to ‘be a nerd and to shape my career well’. I wanted to get placed in a good company with a decent salary and also wanted to do CAT, the only exam I was serious about in the last three years, well. But in between all this I knew I cant compromise on the fun part and also the relationships that I maintain with many guys and girls in college. The sixth semester was torturous to say the least. Not because of the CPCs (campus placement course) conducted by the seniors. But because of a course called Product design and development. Wonder how many days we had to sweat it out to complete the course (means somehow impressing the teacher that you had done something useful! And believe me even Karan Thapar of Devil’s Advocate fame would have got impressed more easily than Mr.Bennet, our teacher) But I learnt more from that course than I did from anything else, about the practicality of any problem. The CPCs were attemptable for I was strong in one subject, Aptitute. And I eventually got class 2nd in that subject and also a motivating name amongst friends “apti king”.

The holidays saw me getting serious about CAT and the T.I.M.E classes I attended in Chennai were of great help. Special thanks to one Mr.Raghunath who was very inspiring and made be believe that I can crack CAT this year. Then the AIMCATs, the mock tests that I took every week. It was exciting, fun and eye opening. I got ranks in top 50 thrice (out of say 25000 people who wrote) and that gave me all the confidence leading into the exam. In between all this I studied for my placements too and after 9 companies and 3 interviews was, should say, quite lucky to get placed in Oracle. And also me taking over as the President of Wisdom Club of NITT (quite apprehensive I was) and till now the journey has been a dream! The CAT exam eventually went well (I hope) with the results releasing in 8 days.

There was so shortage of fun also this year. The usual showoffs, the popularity, friends, amazing seniors, refreshing first years, wonderful girls I came across (no pun intended!), trip to Bangalore, watching Ganguly bat, Chennai open tennis and the latest addiction, blogging (which has so far been driven by TRP ratings!) This year was indeed amazing and unforgettable. And I am happy that every single day of it is stored in my diary forever. I signal goodbye to 2007, whose life is just a few more minutes, with a heavy heart. Will miss you buddy!


Here is wishing you all a much better and happy new year 2008! :) :)

Advice to all young men

CAUTION: The following post has many ideas that might affect the sentiments of a few. Reader discretion is advised.

New Year is around the corner. All the newspapers are carrying ads about New Year bashes with entry for couple only. V-day in 45 days. Feeling left out? Don’t want 2008 to be another year where you feel miserable and out of the world on V-day? Guys, here is a solution which can quell all your worries. Here is my guide on how to flatter and impress girls!! This compilation is based on all the experiences I have gained over the years and I am sure I’ll be heavily castigated by girls for letting out all the ‘secrets’. But my aim in life has always been ‘to help others and to do service!’ So here goes…………

The Beginning:
According to us there are two types of girls. Good-looking and Average-looking. Always remember that the average-looking girls are more tuned towards ‘settling down’ for they are unsure and afraid. The good-looking ones are more confident and they will wait. Lets assume that you have spotted the girl of your choice. Say you got introduced somehow. You either have her mobile number or you chat online. Though you wanted to know her only because of her looks, don’t let her realize that. Remember you are a stranger to her. So don’t try to get too close all of a sudden. It has to happen slowly. Don’t ever expect girls to start off messaging or chat. It will never happen. It’s for the guy to approach her first initially. And keep the limits. Just because she is continuing, don’t keep dragging a conversation forever. Stop it yourself by giving some excuse and believe me it will go down well with her. Don’t get too personal at first. Talk of things irrelevant to both of you. Impressing in short pulses is always better than trying too many things. And silently wait for the day she herself starts and gains some confidence in you…

Getting close and personal:
This is the most important part of a relationship. You are no more a stranger. She knows you and accepts you as a friend. Start slowly getting personal, about her likes, dislikes etc. One warning here, I am sure you guys would have done a background check on the girl by now. That doesn’t mean you should start flooding information about her to her. Don’t ever do this ‘I know your dad is a banker… your brother is in 12th na… how is poochu (pet dog) doing…’ This will start making her suspicious. It is always better to profess ignorance. Be a patient listener. Listen to all the nonsense she tells you and show her that you are genuinely interested in her life. And don’t keep praising other good-looking girls in front of her. It may look heroic but it will surely debilitate the relationship. And never ever portray yourself as someone whose only aim in life is breaking hymens! Start giving more time to her. And pray that she gets a cold or headache or whatever someday. That’s the best chance you might get to impress her that you really care. Offer any help that is required and make her think about you as a potential partner. You are now a good friend of hers and everyday she thinks about you…

The path ahead:
Now you have two choices. One, to get really close to her and continue the friendship forever. Or try to make her your life partner. Having known her for sometime its up to you to decide the path. If your choice is the latter, read on. Don’t get very close to her! If you want to make her as your girlfriend, give some distance between her and you. Don’t talk or be concerned for a few days. Make her miss you and your talks. Attacking a girl sentimentally is the best way to go about things. Let her conclude that you are her man and that she can’t live without you. And never worry about other guys in her life. You can outrace them easily any day. Now comes the tougher part. You have impressed her all right. But you have to impress her best friend now! That’s the irony with girls. The last say is always made by her best friend (who wont be all that great looking, pity you cant change girls even if you want to). So show your girl that you can be friendly with others also. Now, just go propose without thinking of things like whether the friendship will stay or not. Believe me it will, even if she rejects. And then if she accepts, she is all yours. Go jump and dance in joy for cracking CAT exam may be easy but cracking a girl is certainly not!!

I just hope I have given some valuable tips for you guys to approach a girl. Contact me in person for any personalized help. Start today and you’ll surely relish the New Year next year :)

The girls who are reading this and who want some advice to impress their opposite sex, well all I can say is ‘Be a girl!!’. It’s as simple and as complex as that!!

Oh look! It's him again!

The campus was vivacious and expectant. It was one of the cultural festivals in college and everyone was relishing the break from studies. It was the best time to catch all the babes (?!?!) on campus ramp walk oh just walk. People thronged the food stalls similar to the way destitutes pile up in a free dhoti distribution center. Suddenly someone screamed. “Oh look! Its him!!” And all eyes focused on the same mortal. He marched in with his eyes clearly depicting a look of a creative genius. The girls gasped at the sight of him. He looked stunning with his head cloth, V-type beard, bullet like ear studs, black overcoat, wristband, umbrella in hand, cooling glasses in the shirt…. WHAT?! He has gone crazy people thought. But his aim was accomplished. He was noticed! But why??

So people here is the answer to all the questions I have always been asked. What makes me put on various getups whenever there is any event? And why do I have one for each day? Well please don’t castigate me as being frivolous. I have my own reasons. First, the whole college is going to be jam-packed in that small area. How will people notice me there? As I read somewhere, the only way to make people notice you is by being an idiot. By putting on all these getups, I ensure that everyone glances at me for once at least. What’s the necessity you might ask? I am one of those guys who just love publicity, be it negative or positive. And this is one of my publicity stunts! Second, it’s a cultural event meant for fun. What’s the use coming like a gentleman, settling with my own small group, having whatever food that I might lay my hands on, watch others do the same and go away? Where is the fun in this? So I decided to at least give all the people a good healthy laugh by doing all this. Third, my getups add flavor to the event itself! I am not boasting here but of late it has become a tradition and people start asking me a week before about my would-be getups. Finally, it gives a platform to exhibit my creativity. Yes, changing getups everyday is a pretty tough thing and it takes some hard thinking to bring them out.

The plans start some one-week before the event. I have to grow my beard to the sufficient levels (thankfully it grows quickly and fully!), buy some unique ear studs (the ear holes stayed on from childhood), get few other accessories and think of new ideas about my face, hairstyle and dress. And I collect any new thing I come across in hostel. Every event is a challenge for me not to repeat the old styles. It takes a few conscientious minutes to shave my beard to the particular style. A few more to acquire all the articles and to prepare my final look. Above all it takes a lot of audacity to come out and face the public. But when people come and compliment me (yeah some do!) for my getups, I arrive at satisfaction. It was all worth it for my popularity now is partially thanks to this. And it offered more fun when during one event, a SS Music's cameraman called me in particular to take videos(it did come on tv). And what a lovely sight it is to see girls giggle whenever they look at you! Coming to the end of my college life, these moments are the best takeaways from here. Any first year reading this and feel you have missed out on something, don’t worry. I have two more events left (pragyan and nittfest) and I am sure to disguise myself in the best way possible!! It’s always fun being different! :)

Watch the time..

The time was 4.00pm. He was anxiously waiting for her. It has been a dream, this relationship. Something that started a month ago, in the place where most arbit relationships begin, online chatting. It was one of those days when he found her in a social networking site and became friends. They chatted daily and he liked her candid nature. She was stunning and gorgeous (going by the photos she sent). He asked her for a meet once. She rejected it. He was disappointed then but over time he accepted it. About an hour ago, she called him up from some number and asked if he was free. Though he had planned to give his car for servicing, he didn’t want to waste this opportunity. He readily accepted. At 4 ‘green day’ she said. He was there at the restaurant by 3.30, seated in a table at the corner, glancing at the door, awaiting her entry.

The time was 4.15pm. She came hurrying in. Wow!! She looked hotter in real. He stood up appraising the value of her beauty. She smiled and asked sorry for being late.
I'll wait for a lifetime!! If only you accept me...
He told her that he already ordered a Chinese veg-pizza for her.
“Hey that’s my favorite!” she beamed.
“Well I ordered because it is my favorite!” he smiled back and he just loved the “lol” that came back.
This is the happiest day this year! She is getting impressed all right!!
She asked him if he could lend his mobile for making a call as she had forgotten hers at home. She made the call walking away from the table.
She thinks I am so close to her! The lovely way she asked for my mob… She is divine and she is mine…
They talked of various things and he liked every bit of it. In between she kept asking him the time as she had forgotten her watch too. “I hope you don’t forget me!” he tried to tease.
“lol! Never!”
She said never! She likes me! This relationship is eternal…
At 5.15 sharp she said she wanted to leave. “So when is next time?” he wanted to know.
“lol. I’ll give you a ring,” she said with her lovely caring eyes.
Her baffling eyes!! Did they mean love??
She left in a hurry and he went to pay the bill.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The time was 3.00pm, Sunday. Anu was inside ‘coffee day’. Anu is an extrovert to the core. She knew she was beautiful and had great fun watching the boys doing their best to impress her. Made many online buddies to help kill her time in hostel. Sunday was the day she meets up with them to try to find if someone is really fascinating and charming. And she hated guys who try to put on various facades to impress her.

Now, She was having her favorite black coffee with Ravi. She had to meet Gaurav at 5.30pm, the same place. This conversation was getting nowhere.
This guy is an idiot! Can’t continue till 5.30! Damn! I forgot my mob!
She asked for his mobile and called up Siddarth and asked him to come to ‘green day’ by 4pm. Ravi went on and on about the things he liked and how he managed his pets blah blah.
This guy is prosaic and banal!
She left the place at 4 to meet Siddarth. Siddarth was no better.
“I ordered because it is my favorite!” he said.
Huh! You read my blogs thoroughly all right!!
She called up Gaurav in between to confirm the appointment. She only hoped Gaurav would be interesting.
“I hope you don’t forget me!” Siddarth teased.
Yeah I certainly hope I don’t!! Check up tomorrow btw!!
She kept counting the minutes and felt that Siddarth was a dullard. Exactly at 5.15, she wanted to leave.
“So when is next time?” Siddarth asked.
There is no next time buddy!!!
“lol. I’ll give you a ring”. With that she hurried to the next appointment.
Gaurav greeted her with a chivalrous smile. They started conversing. Just as when Anu thought this guy was indeed interesting, Gaurav beamed “And I ordered black coffee for you, I like it and hope you also do!”
Concealing her disappointment, all she managed with her lovely caring eyes was “lol!!”

The new Ten Commandments

Exams ahead?? Have no clue about the portions?? Want to compete still?? Don’t worry here is the most effective and alluring ‘short cut’ to facing exams! The short and sweet name it has, synonymous with its size and contents, Bits (or Chits as some may prefer to call them). Having inspired many in my wing (Svenky, Ramana, SK, Akshay to name a few…) to take up this practice and having tested it myself with a lot of success, here is the readymade guide to all of you who aren’t short of intelligence but have been just lazy. The Ten Commandment structure is chosen to highlight the points and the importance of this noble practice. So here goes….

1.Thou shall start preparing bits only an hour before the exam: and not earlier for even if you can’t take out the bits in the exams, you would at least remember something! And you’ll know exactly which bit has which topic (for the desperate multi-biters!)

2.Thou shall prepare nice equal shaped bits: People don’t give importance to the shape of bits. After all they are our saviors so give some respect! Let them be of equal shape and the smaller, the better.

3.Thou shall prepare the bits with at most neatness and legibility: Be neat and crisp. And make sure you can read the thing you have written. For the most irritating thing is to know that you have the answer written and but not able to read it!

4.Thou shall use the same ink for writing the bits and the exam: Very important, can serve as a camouflage in case you are hiding the bits in the answer paper. Preferably black ink to match the question paper print colour.

5.Thou shall visit your ophthalmologist regularly: Proper eyesight is of at most importance. The ability to see the things written from a distance is the key to your performance in the exam. So check your eye regularly!

6.Thou shall be audacious enough throughout the practice: This practice is not for people who succumb to trepidation. This is for people who are willing to quell their apprehensions. Face any situation that might come up boldly (even getting caught). And it is not advisable to be highly presumptuous also.

7.Thou shall destroy the bits as soon as the exam ends: Make sure to retrieve all the bits you had taken to the exam hall and destroy it! And please never reuse the bits used in the cycle tests in your semesters. Don’t be so lazy guys!

8.Thou shall be clandestine in your activities: Never let the whole world know that you are into this practice. You’ll be castigated severely and people will try to make you give it up (especially the ones who study!). So be secretive (I am facing hell during exam time nowadays because of my publicizing the whole thing!!).

9.Thou shall be a firm believer in God: Everything that happens is directed from someone above. So please pray before each exam so that success is yours! (We guys idolize BABA!)

10.Thou shall inspire others around you to take up this noble practice: It’s always good to spread the word about the most inspiring thing you come across in your college life! So do tell your friends especially girls who are so very afraid and geeky!

Believe me once taken up this can be quite addictive and easy too. And always remember that studying for an exam and writing without any help is the best way to go about it. My best GPA came when I actually studied!

Ending the blog with a few quotes:

Svenky: ARS you have changed the way I look at exams! Using bits has made my preparation a lot easier and I am getting better scores than I did before. Where were you two years ago man??

Ramana: ARS you are a master! Please tell everyone that I got inspired a lot by you and that I can now easily prepare anything from formulae to definitions within a minute! Thanks!

Shyam Sundar: Dai ARS this is highly unfair. It took you just one hour to prepare what I did one full day. I hope you get caught today. And in the end if you get a better GPA than mine, I am killing you!!!!!!!!

Beware: Devil at home!!

4.30 AM. The day was Tuesday, May the 11th, 1999. The King for twelve years was dethroned! An enigmatic personality was born. Here she is, 8 years into her life, dictating and commanding things to her parents and to her unfortunate brother, Rivat Hanss. Meet A.R.Sriranjini or Harini as I like to call her. The first look of her in the hospital got me fuming. ‘She is very fair!! She cant be my sis!’ I cried to my mom, only to get an answer that girls are always fair and boys are better off with a darker complexion. I dumbly believed that then. Suddenly I found that my mom and dad had no time to tell me stories in the night (yeah even at twelve I liked listening to stories!). Slowly, I was being ignored and she was attaining glory. Yes I knew that she was going to be pampered a lot. But I never expected my life to take a hit. I started accepting things and my career was shaping up. Soon I was away and was not able to assist her in her pedagogy or her life in general.

But during these holidays I have had time to monitor her activities and was shocked to say the least. She enjoys absolute freedom at home. Be it changing TV channels as and when wished, taking money from the shelf and getting anything she wants, or making my mom plead before her to do a thing! The mom I once feared and thought any other child would. She has no respect for our words, takes an independent decision always and has this ready made cry if we oppose it. The fact that we are better off financially than some ten years ago isn’t helping her much. My parents want her to get all the things I was deprived off in my childhood. I tried admonishing my parents a lot of times and all I got back was ‘she is a child’. Yes her activities are innocuous still but over the years it can become dangerous if not controlled.

The first question she asks whenever I return home from hostel, greeting her with a nice sweet five star, is ‘anna when you returning to college?’ and she is very possessive generally. Doesn’t share a biscuit also with anyone. And of late she has become possessive of the pet name ARS too! (One of the reasons I switched over to a new distinct name). She interferes in anything and everything I do. Sees my messages, sits besides me whenever I am online and is pestering me now also to come and check something. Three days ago she called me up from school(has memorized all our nos) to come take her back complaining of fever, stomachache and what not. Already I was angry that she woke me up from my deep sleep (11AM) and when she started jumping around, watching TV, playing with neighbors after returning home, I couldn’t stand it. But when I look at her school diary that has my name as her guardian, my eyes moisten. Whatever said and done, she is my sister and I have a moral responsibility to take care of her. I have learnt a lot from her too (that watching pogo and chutti tv is a good way to spend time!). Above all I love her more than I love anyone else!! :) :)

ATTACK SAM!!!!!

The sun was shining brightly. The stage was set. The knockout match was between the favorites and a just-for-filling-up-the-numbers side. All football lovers thronged just outside the boundaries of the ground to witness the Lions pouncing on mere Amateurs. The Lions were a gifted team whose members boast of the best of skills, coordination and ability. The Amateurs had a flair for the game but nothing else to complement it. No practice, no coordination, no strategy. The result was easily predictable even before the match began. The Lions counted upon Sam, their main striker, to score the goals and to gain some practice for the other important matches ahead. The Amateurs were praying for their defense to have a lucky day. Two halves, twenty minutes each, penalty shootout in case of a tie, the match began….

The defender’s mind was racing. It was an uphill task, saving goals from Sam that is. He had to put up a fighting show for all the showoffs the previous night. He took on many supporters of the Lions, who predicted a 4-0 outcome, verbally, saying that his team would eventually win. All had a good laugh. But he knew he was not going to make life easy for the Lions. Our strength lies in defense, he thought. For that is the only thing a team can do without much practice. Four strongly built defenders formed an impenetrable ring. Did they? Sam was athletic, fast and efficient when it comes to goals. To stop Sam was their main aim. The match progressed. The first few minutes were turning out to be lucky for the Amateurs for the Lions couldn’t get many balls on target. Slowly the clock ticked over. It was half time and the score was 0-0. The crowd was disappointed with the Lions’ performance but they still had hopes of seeing many fly past the goalkeeper in the next half.

The spirit was high in the Amateurs camp. They were pleasantly surprised to have restricted their opponents thus far. When the second half began, they started playing aggressively. The defender started the ‘ATTACK SAM’ slogan. Whenever Sam got the ball, there was this loud, crisp and commanding ATTACK SAM audible even to the spectators. The goalkeeper was doing an amazing job. Many one-on-ones were saved and it lifted the Amateurs’ mood. With ten minutes to go, the Lions seemed desperate. Except their defenders, all the others were in the Amateurs half, attacking. The Amateurs had as many as seven defenders now. There was no question of the Amateurs scoring. They played for a 0-0 in full time and then anything could happen in the shootouts. The defender even headed an impossible ball out of the D area. Sam was stunned. Five minutes to go and things became quite exciting. The Amateurs started believing that it was their day. The Lions knew one goal would seal off the match. Two minutes to go and Sam got the ball. The defender knew he was the one up against him now. He went charging at him, in hope of stealing the ball somehow and ended up hitting Sam on his legs. It was a foul, just outside the D box. The defender had committed a costly mistake. Sam took the free kick that flew into the D and one of the other strikers put it inside the goal post easily. The match was sealed. The defender felt an excruciating pain in his ribs. He felt cheated. The Amateurs team left the ground with a heavy heart, tired, for they had given their best. The Lions were relieved more than anything else. Everyone congratulated the Amateurs for the spirit they showed. The slogan ‘ATTACK SAM’ became quite popular with the players themselves. The defender felt happy that at least they didn’t allow Sam to score any. He had to accept that all romantic fairy tales always do end in a tragedy. The Lions eventually went till the finals of the tournament and Sam was the highest scorer overall.

The Amateurs team (ICE dept): Saurab (goalie), A.R.Srivathsan(the defender), Vivek, Naren, Jann, Vijay (Captain), Maha, Sensi, Ajwad, Sohit and Devarshri.

The Lions team (EEE dept): Prashant Samuel (college striker), Sashi, KRG, Arjun, Aloe, Damal, Asim, Blade Navin (the goal scorer), Arun Laxman, Nikhil and Bong.


This match took place on July 16th, 2005.

The author in me?!?!

One of the different things I have tried and only known to a couple of people is writing a novel! Yes, around the same time last year, I was busy thinking about the characters, the story and the suspense.....
Why I chose to write a novel? Well I try things which can get me popular don't I? Novels are an easy way to shoot into fame, not only in college but whole India maybe. And as I was preparing for CAT, I thought this thing will help me with my verbal preparation. And I wanted to achieve something before my teenage ended (by May that is). But only when I started writing I realized how tough it is to get one page written properly. It easily took one hour at least and one full afternoon of thinking about the story to write a single page! This given the fact that I choose to write on college life (thats obvious! everyone tries to emulate Chetan Bhagat!) But I had a different theme to write about and must say I did a lot of research for some 10 days during the winter holidays on this subject. One of the things that encouraged me was that Dad was ready to sponsor Rs.50000 to publish the novel if I complete it. The enthusiasm remained throughout the holidays. I even registered an email id in the name of the novel for getting comments later(the name wont be revealed here!). But when I reached college, I couldn't find time to write and over the days I just gave up :( I must thank my roomie here for readily accepting to spare his laptop for this purpose. When I read the pages today, I do feel nostalgic about the whole thing. Rest assured I will complete the novel someday!!!! Here is a peak into one of the pages, in fact the prologue........ (my language had many errors!)

Silence gripped the courtroom as the Judge entered. Not a seat was left vacant in the audience. A group of lawyers were seated like in a round table conference. And all eyes were fixed on the young boy of about twenty, standing in the witness’s box. His face looked pale and lifeless. Only a blind person could have missed his overgrown beard. He was thin, fair, wore simple formals and there was no shine left in his eyes.

“Good evening, My Lord!” the prosecutor stood up. “I have been appointed by the state to be the prosecutor in this case. As we all know, this case has been the center of media attention recently and I hope everyone here realizes the importance the judgment of this case has in warning all others who dare attempt such a cruel crime in future...”

The young boy was not listening. His mind was preoccupied with something else. What have I got myself into? He saw the anxious faces of his parents in the first row of the audience. He could sense moisture in their eyes. Sorry dad! Sorry mom! And there she was, seated in the bench adjacent to that of his parents. The young girl, dressed elegantly as if she was attending a party, had a curious and innocent face. Bitch! It’s all because of you!

“My Lord!” the prosecutor continued, “here we have on the witness box, a boy who is a disgrace to the student community. Not only has he broken the bond of friendship but he has also demeaned the womanhood totally in a society that is fighting hard for their empowerment. This boy, Your Honor, is accused with charges of raping a student of his college….”

Silence prevailed…

Me and my firsts!

Hello everybody! this is Rivat Hanss, a humble and modest guy(pun intended!) trying to start off something relatively unknown (thats blogging!).

About me first: a highly confident, smart, jovial, friendly guy who lives to entertain others! doing my final year B.tech in NIT, Trichy. I am contended with whatever I have achieved and believe in finding happiness in small things rather than waiting for a big success. An extrovert in general but shy when it comes to girls[who would believe that!;)]. A bit conservative when it comes to spending money. A bit traditional and emotional(not many know this!).

My firsts: I always believe in doing different things. Be it different hairstyles, ear studs, getups, showoffs, dancing, singing, different sports, bullying people, writing diary, cooking, making fun of others, flirting openly, making fun of myself, advising people, having many friends, bits in exams, a lot of crushes ah I want to try everything and have been successful in many of them. Blogging is one thing which is very popular and still I haven't tried. My life is full of interesting events and I hope to give all of you a nice read via this medium. Many of my friends have always wanted to know why I am like this and what exactly I write in my diary everyday. So guys here is some insight into my thoughts, beliefs and myself! Happy reading! :)

P.S: For those of you who are wondering what Rivat Hanss is, well thats an anagram of my name Srivathsan and thats how I will be referred to from now on! no ARS no Srivathsan its going to be Rivat Hanss!!! this is another different thing I am trying today :)
