No no, I am not taking french lessons at all. Neither have I fallen in love with a french girl (sadly ;)). Its just that I have been reading excess of TOI off late who have this weird habit of replacing simple english words by French in order to make it cool. e.g They will never say 'PM's meeting with Finance minister'. It will be PM's rendezvous with the FinMan.So, I thought that plagiarism didn't harm any mediocres (look at TOI once again for that matter :D) so just make use of it.And thus goes the title of this post, "complètement sans emploi" which essentially means completely jobless, which is what I am, not today but in general.And this is precisely the reason that I am posting one more utter non sense article here because that will help me spend some of my "precious" time.
Yesterday was a real fun day.I Woke up at 2.30 p.m. and went to the Kshitij arena and had some good food.Thats my share of tech life in IIT's techno-management fest.Then in the evening I got a chance to witness one of the best scientists of this era, Von Klitzing from Germany, a Nobel laurate for his quantum hall effect.Don't worry ,even I don't know what exactly that is and thankfully it wasn't a technical speech and so most of the people like us could enjoy it. And after that was real fun...went to little sisters and boozed like crazy, drinking without an occasion.Shelled out 250 bucks for 5 pegs of Vodka, white mischief.Turst me, on the 5 th peg, you can actually have what they call as the 'tranquil pleasures'...free from everything!
Note: I had a terrible time after that as the pH of my blood was going a bit towards 7 and hence brain guided some of the cells to eject the OH- substances with immediate effect.
Sunday- Sunday, bloody sunday...this is the only thing that comes to my mind whenever I wake up on a sunday morning.In fact, Sunday morning is a very boring time for me as I wake up quite early (9.30 that is) and most of my wingies are sleeping.So, I have to somehow spend my time till 12-1 when people slowly start blinking their eyes when the sunlight gets over them.But, there is always some fun on sunday morning courtesy Mr.Jug Suraiya's Jugular vain.He is by far the best columnist I have ever come across.I also spent a lot of time in organizing my music collection and now its back on track.While doing so, I came across a folder called "Best Rock collection in the World" This inspired me to come up with my all time top 20 rock songs.This ain't an easy task.After a lengthy disquisition here goes the list.
1)Coming back to life - Pink Floyd
2)Stairway to heaven - Led Zepplin
3)Riders on the Storm - The Doors
4)Highway to hell - ACDC
5)Sweet Child O mine - Guns and Roses
6)Rock you like a hurricane - Scorpions
7)[Don't Fear] The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
8)Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
9)Hallowed be thy name - Iron Maiden
10)Rock and Roll - Led Zepplin
11)Leaving on a Jet Plane - John Denver
12)American Pie - Don McLean
13)Wind of Change - Scorpions
14)High Hopes -Pink Floyd
15)Break on through - The Doors
16)Don't cry - Guns and Roses
17)Money for Nothing - Dire Straits
18)Free bird - Lynard Skynard
19)Not my kind of a girl - Zero
20)Burn - Deep Purple
And this truly stamps my assumption, I am a real Persona- complètement sans emploi and I am proud of it!
p.s. comments on the list more than welcome!

also aditya , you've proved your profound knowledge in music by making dat statement(in italics)

which means you are trying to state that the song is infact rock, but your first statement is contradicting this!
