Year 2008:Review.

Just a couple of days left for this one of a kind and different year of 2008 to end.This year was full of ups and downs for me personally and for the whole world at large.But,in all I would rate this year as a good one.
The year was good for me and the whole world and for that I've my reasons.

• January 2008: Astroid 2007 WD5 hits Mars, knocking the planet off orbit, into an ice age, and on a collision path for Earth and was expected to hit earth on 28th Jan.-29th Jan.,but it turned out to be a hoax.
• February 2008: I got a great class ninth result and bagged the 2nd position in the class with a percentage of 91.2% and got promoted to 10th.
• March 2008: Had some intra-school competitions and I did good enough.
• April 2008: Our school had the house days.I used my video editing skills to make the intro-video for the house and got the second prize.Also,I participated in Western Music show and me and my band performed "Summer of '69" and "Breaking the Law".I was the vocalist(just in case, you didn't knew.) Also,Steve Jobs introduces I-Phone 3G.
• July -August 2008: Went to St.Xavier's computer symposium but didn't even managed to get into the finals of the quiz. :( .Also,India put up a great show at Beijing Summer Olympics.
  
• September 2008: Had my half-yearlys and I managed to do get an 'ok' result,not so good.
• October 2008: started missing classes for Different Strokes and a science model presentation.Won third prize at NSIT,Dwarka for science model.I celebrated a cracker-free diwali.
  
• November 2008: Worked even harder(read as,missing classes) for Different Strokes for managing the quiz.We managed to get a couple of sponsors like HT,Times of India,Aakash Institute and Narayana Institute and got the food from McDonalds (as usual).The quizzing event turned out to be great,but we missed on big schools to pariticipate as we had some clashes with some other symposiums.Also,the god damned evil (terrorists) strike in Mumbai in an extra-ordinary way and create terror in minds of the people.
  
• December 2008: Worked hard for pre-board I and got good result and managed to get 90.9%.Quite impressive. [Touch-(ing) Wood.].Went to modern school barakhamba and came 4th in quiz.The year comes to an end,with the chances of war b/w India and Pakistan increasing.

So,that was how the year went.I didn't mention much "downs" coz of reasons.I've written the ups to keep the atmosphere lively and also,coz I'm an optimist.I see the glass half full,not half-empty. Lets bid-adieu to 2008,with smiling faces.

Though,in class 10th they have extended the exams till 30th March unlike other years where they were wrapped up by 23-24th March.But in all,the date sheets are student-friendly and I'm satisfied with them.

For all those people looking out for the datesheet,your search comes to an end here.

Cars too have personality.

See this topic has been in the back of mind for a long time now but I just wasn't getting enough time to write this post because I needed to do some research on it.But, I had decided that I would do this interesting post about the various personality traits that cars show by their looks ,before this year ends.

So lets start.I don't know if someone believes the way I think that when you see the front grill & headlights of any car,it seems to make a face,with the grill acting as a mouth and the headlights acting as the eyes.See I know this seems to be a lil' kiddish (or maybe more) but I seriously believe in what I'm saying(or rather writing.).To make you believe let me show you some snaps.

MARUTI 800

Lets start with our very own and the common man's car,i.e., Maruti 800.If you concentrate a bit and look at the headlights of the car,front grill and no. plate,you'll see that this car acts like a humble person without any dishonest ideas of cheating and is having a straight face like a stoic person.Though, this pic looks as if there is some eye-liner on the eyes (see the headlights) LOL.

SUZUKI WAGON R

Now,look at Wagon R and concentrate and you'll see a smiling face thats really attractive and welcoming and I think thats what makes it popular among the masses (other than fuel efficiency) and the orange colour indicators just enhance its appeal like eye-lids.

HYUNDAI SANTRO

Next up is Hyundai Santro which is yet another cute looking car with a jolly face and if you look carefully you'll see its small little kiddish smile.(in front grill).

Now lets move onto some meaner looking cars.

MARUTI ESTEEM

I started with a lil' mean looking car,i.e.,Maruti esteem,its got a big kinda evil smile with sleek eyes.(headlights).But still it looks good and there are more meaner cars in the market.

The older variant was more mean looking.Check it out.

HONDA CITY

Next is Honda City with its evil look and and a wicked smile.Its one of the evil-looking car on roads in India and its clever-looking eyes always look as if they are up for some mischief.

HONDA CIVIC

Ah!Last but not the least in the devilish looks.This is Honda Civic(for those who don't know.)Its like an evil looking demon straight out of an action comic book.And yeah,its evil smile is like that of a vampire who's hungry for a sip of blood.Nonetheless, its one of the most admirable car on Delhi Roads.

FORD ENDEAVOUR

Yeah,this is like the godfather of all cars.and its got the meanest looks.

So,this was my presentation on how I look at different cars.There are lot more cars I wanna talk about but I don't have much time to spare and most importantly I wanted to showcase the basic Indian cars which are seen commonly on Indian roads.

I hope you'll appreciate my efforts and drop some comments.

Christmas Eve

Hey hi.I'm just writing this post just for the heck of it,to keep some chirpiness and liveliness in the blog so that it doesn't seem stagnant unlike other blogs.

Anyways,its Christmas eve and I'm feeling really bored sitting at home and just studying.And what's really getting on my nerves is that I just can't study anymore because I feel so full ( of books and knowledge) and I've read the text so many times that everything seems so repetitive that I'm fed up of it and this has caused my mind to divert from studies.Yesterday,the syllabus and all the books got so much on my nerves that I just went out of the house and just roamed for around 2-3 hours in the evening in the park near my house and just felt the nice and chilly wintry breeze on my face and I must tell it felt oh-so-refreshing and I just felt so good and the HappyDent that I was having made the whole experience even better,because it further enhanced the cooling effect.

Anyways, coming back to Christmas celebration I think I'll be celebrating my Christmas with family at home or maybe somewhere outside.Lets hope for the best because I don't have any other option as none of my friends wants to go out as everyone is involved in studying and is keeping this new year affair low this time due to exam fever.

My wishes are with everyone and I just want everyone to be happy and prosperous today and forever.[slightly excess of philosophy. :P]



















Sayonara.

Internet problems.

Hey hi.
Its been after a long time since I switched to Bharti Airtel Broadband Connection that I have to face low bandwidth speed because they provide the best of the speed.But,the people at Bharti Airtel are not to be considered as guilty because I read it in the newspaper today that the internet providing undersea cables have been damaged due to cuts in these cables by some anchors of ships near Italy and Egypt.Three submarine cables namely,SMW 4 (Sea Me We 4); SMW 5 and FLAG have been affected and this has affected the telecom industry in India and 13 other countries including Saudi Arabia,UAE,Malaysia,Pakistan,Qatar,Maldives and Zambia.

So,I just hope that this problem gets solved as soon as possible so that I can get my super-speed back and so that I don't have to slog on the internet.

Check this comparison to show the drastic changes,just to give full proof evidence of my claims



(P.S.:Pre Boards are just round the corner so I don't care whether whats the actual speed coz in any way I won't be doing much internet.)

By the way,watched Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.Is a sure-shot entertainer.SRK is good and so is the newbie actress.-- Playing NFS Most Wanted these days.Is a great game.I'm lovin' it.

Access 2008 *huh* over.

So, finally I'm here with my post talking about Access 2008.Though,I'm a bit late but my reason is that my power supply box(in CPU) got burned on 17th while I was away.So,the engineer didn't come on the day he told and I had to wait for a whole day without my computer.

Anyways talking about my 2 days at Access 2008 at Modern School were great and I made the most of it as it was my last symposium in 10th grade.Day 1 was rather uneventful as I had to wait for around 4-5 hours or so from the morning for my event.I met Abhinav a.k.a Quicksilver from DPS Dwarka and he introduced me to one of his friends Anuj from DPS Rkp.

Then me and Pulkit wandered throughout the school and explored every nook and corner of the school so as to pass our time.The canteen was great,infact,it was one of the best I've ever seen in any school and the food out there was good.The lunch organised by the school folks was just okz, not much worth.And to pass time we even did some lame photography(which I'll post later in a photographic post about Access 2008).

Then, we had our event and I guess, I did a good job but I think others were better than me thats why I didn't went on to win anything.

Day 2
Today was our(Me and Pulkit) day because today we were here for our mainstream event in which we somewhat specialize,i.e.,quizzing.We went in for Junior Quiz prelims and did a really superb job and we were sure that we would surely make it to the finals and we actually did.I was feeling good and then after it was announced officially,it began a series of calls to tell the good news to family and friends.After that we had our lunch.Again it was okz and I didn't eat much out of nervousness.Then began the finals and we're in lead in the first round then I don't know what happened to us in 2nd,3rd and 4th round as these rounds proved to be our 'bald' phases. Then in 5th round,we missed one of our direct questions which was : "What does Intel stands for?". I knew this answer but a certain aura of confusion,lack of confidence or nervousness caused this answer to slip out of my mind and the time limit just finished and we were just left showing a 'shameful' smile because its a basic quizzing questions and we should have known it. And now,this question has been in my mind and soul for the last 2 days and is haunting me constantly because if we would have answered it we would have made a podium-finish.But, atlast we came 4th and this rank proves to be a jinx for us coz of Exun 2007 where we again came 4th.

Anyways I came back home and slept.
Then next day went to school and took my papers and played basketball and then in the evening I watched I'm Legend.Its a great movie.A must-watch.

New Theme

How's the new theme???
I did it in a rush as I had some work thats why it looks a lil' or maybe more messy.But I'll overcome these in a day or two when I'm free or I'll change it all over.

I would be unfair if I don't mention Pulzkit's name out here in this post talking about my new theme which I frequently change because his blog has been my inspiration to change my theme every now and then and he's the one who has provided me with some fab themes.Thanks,dude.

Exams Over,*sigh*finally.

Hey I feel so good to be writing this post and every student who has given exams will easily relate to my present situation and state-of-mind as I just had my exams getting over today and it feels so good and relaxing to be sitting in front of computer for long hours and watching TV and movies all day long and reading books and magazines and that too without any restriction.
Though I've got plenty of time, today I won't be writing in the longer format, because I need to play NFS Most Wanted and also I don't want to bore you unnecessarily.


The Science MCQ paper was fine and I think I did it good enough.Then after this 1 and a half hour paper I decided not to go home on my own.I thought of staying in school till 1:30 p.m and going in the bus and this gave me opportunity to stay back and have some chilled-out time with friends.I played every game today except basketball (my fav.) because the balls were all out of use and I didn't have the thrust left in me (after exam) to pump the balls. xD

I played cricket and football,though I was screwed up in football, but when I played cricket I revived my childhood dream of becoming a cricketer when I was like a cricket-crazy moron kid who was just fanatic about cricket & its Who's-Who.

Back to present and talking about the blog,now I'm going fast on my no. of posts because I want to complete 100-posts mark in this year only and that means I've to post around 4-5 more posts in December and I think that I can easily do.Also,tomorrow is the first day of "Access 2008" at Modern School,Barakhamba Road and this is the last symposium of the year and I surely wanna do something and I'll try to put my best foot-forward and just hope for the best.Tomorrow,I'm gonna take part in "Story Writing" and I'm looking forward to catch up with some people from Delhi's tech circuit.

George Bush's Farewell Gift

Hey this video is good and funny.George Bush finally gets his farewell gift but I guess its too early as he'll be officially be given bid adieu on 20th January when Barack Obama steps into the White House.

Just sit back and enjoy this 29-second laugh riot.



Wasn't that great?? Please do pour in comments.

Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!

Yesterday evening,I saw Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! its a real laugh riot.But,while watching this film its better you switch off your brain because it does has some lame joke sequences.Its a hearty movie and has nothing to do with intellect and thats the kind of movie I wanted to see post-exams.And it was a real good experience watching such a hilarious movie and is a real stress buster.
Talking about the movie,the story is inspired by the incredible true story of Lucky Singh, an extremely charismatic and fearless confidence man and thief who socialized with the rich, famous and influential of Delhi society and then proceeded to rob them blind and his ways of fooling the people were seen to be believed.The funniest part was when it showcased the working of Delhi Police and showcased all the stuff that Lucky had stolen.It included Cars(Mercs,BMWs,Audis,etc.),scooters,phones,LCD TVs,laptops,photos,shoes,shirts,guitars,show-pieces,dogs and much more insane stuff.It was helluva funny.
Abhay Deol was at his best and Paresh Rawal acted well with his triple role.I don't about other actors as they were kinda side-ies.But,in all everything was fine and the music was fine.
There was one punjabi song (other than the title song) and I was like OMG! the singer(dunno who he was?) rapped so well in Punjabi.Can you believe it.???I have heard Punjabi Rap songs earlier also but this one was just too fine.

04 - Superchor - Oye Lucky Lucky Oye

But there was one problem,the language used isn't too clean but that was the necessity of the film as it to showcase how a guy-next-door who wasn't rich but made it big in the world of Goons!
Now next on my list of to-do things is to prepare for Science MCQ paper and watch "Sorry Bhai" and maybe I'll try to catch up on SRK's new flick.

Science Paper

Hey hi.
Today, I feel kind of free as all my mainstream papers are over and just a Science MCQ is left and thats a short thing,just a 1 and a half hour paper.
Anyways,today again I went to school at 7:30 A.M ,but today I didn't wander like a moron in school corridors.Its got some reasons.First of all,the chilly winter breeze was taking its toll on me as I had a lil' cold since morning.So,I prefered inside and studied.Secondly,Science syllabus is so vast and never-ending like the sea that I had to study because I had no other choice because its one of the mainstream subject and I gotta do well in it.
Then,I studied hard for two hours or so and also me and my friends did a lot of kidding just to make the atmosphere lively so that no one gets tensed and everyone stays calm.I tried to keep my calm and cool throughout this time but I tell you it was really difficult(the subject as well as my attempt to chill out.)

Then started the paper and I found it quite good,I mean the standard was good,kinda board type.I liked the questions but in some questions I hated their answer because me being a lazy guy hates writing long answers and making diagrams and equations.But,now lets keep it short like the paper itself was(a 2 and a 1/2 hour paper,it was).I did quite fine and I think I'll be scoring respectable marks.After paper,chilled out with friends in canteen and basketball court.
Came back home,slept a lil' and then saw "Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!" was a laugh riot.

(P.S.:I'm short of time as I need to enjoy.Now,I'm going to play FIFA 2009 and I'll give a review of the movie tomorrow.)

Hindi was like a "Highway To Hell"

Hey hi.
I came here because I was really bored so I thought of posting something.Though,I'm really exhausted after the hindi paper, but still I came here.
I would today give a long-short style post describing how my day was.
Yesterday evening I was really free.I thought that I've done my Hindi thing and also,the other reason is that I didn't feel like doing it.I was so bored to the 'lid'.

10th December,2008
Today was Hindi paper.
7:30 A.M.
Reached school - studied some Hindi outta a guide because I didn't had Hindi notes.I just don't feel like doing this god-damned language subject.OMG it makes me sleep and I don't like writing it.-then,went to class- saw my math paper which our math teacher had distributed and in this way,I got to know my marks.I was really confident that I'll be scoring well because the paper was damn easy and I had done it well,owing to my hard work,I guess and also coz of my unusual liking for maths.Back to the point,I got ...(mysterious music,which you see in reality shows) I got...79 outta 80...OMG!! I was like WOW!!.I felt really good and thought that my hard work had paid off,making me feel satisfied.--then,I also met my english teacher and she told me that she was really happy with my paper.I felt good...--studied a lil' more hindi--then closed my books.

8:00 A.M.
Came to computer lab.Just to make sure my team was registered for Access 2008 at Modern School,Barakhambha Road.Then I also added my name in story writing competition,I went there last year also and it was a good experience,so I also decided to give in my name this year too.I wanted to go in for Audio Editing,but the teacher coordinator had already written the names fo 2 class 9th students.God-damned Junior Morons,taking my place.I could've done a better job at audio-editing.

9:00 A.M
Friends start pouring in.-I start studying again-this (awe)some Hindi subject-get bored-go to canteen-have some Center Fresh chewing gum- came back - and studied some grammar(or rather व्याकरण ).Then finally closed the books and started discussing about other people's result in maths and in some cases,consoling people not to cry and be sad.

10:30 A.M
Half-an-hour into the exam and I'm feeling tired.Don't know how I'll do the rest of the paper -- take off my coat -- feeling the chilly december breeze -- start writing -- literature part was lengthy -- grammar was ok. -- the paragraph in hindi was tiresome -- poem ( कविता ) was kinda fine and easy. -- I kinda screwed up the writing section,though I was good enough in letter ( पत्र ) but I think I didn't do full justice to paragraph. -- feel tired at exhausted.

1:15 P.M.
Finally outta examination hall -- feeling too exhausted after this hellova battle of Hindi paper. -- till date in this series of papers. -- this is the worst,I guess.

Now,the next paper is Science and I gotta do well in this subject,coz I like it.Though,I'm not much interested in Bio but Physics and Chemistry are good and interesting.Now,my time's up.I feel tired and now I can't type more as my eye-lids are like closing and I feel damn tired and then I also need to study.
Signing off(sleepily),
MS

(P.S.: I don't snore while sleeping!!)

English Paper

Hey I guess I've been a day late for this post of mine telling about my english paper.I think I did it fairly enough and I'm really satisfied with what I did in the paper. Though,I'm kind of unsure about my grammar part.
Next is Hindi and I don't want to show any dis-respect to this national language of ours.But, the truth is that this is the only subject that causes my percentage to drop. :P But I'm still working hard and I'm trying to improve it so that I don't have to face a bad fate in hindi in boards.

Rise in Indian-ness around the globe.

Hey check this out.

PussyCat Dolls did to saree at a fashion do,what Elvis Presley did to pop music!! :D

This a popular girl band named PussyCat Dolls(PCD) and has many hits to their name till date and have won many awards also and they are regular guests at all major music award functions around the globe.
Anyways, good for India as the so-called Indian-ness is going places and thats a proud moment for us all.Though we need to explain some ethics of our culture the wild Americans.

Short post for today coz tomorrow is English and I've not prepared much as I don't feel like.
Lets see what happens tomorrow.I'm leaving it all on my pen to do the work as its my 'lyre' that'll drive my thoughts throughout the 3-hour paper and make me fetch some fair marks.

AfterMath:Literally

6th December,2008.
Today I had my math exam.I woke up early and did all my chores in the morning.Though my paper starts at 1000 hours and we've to reach by 950 hours or something.But,today I decided to go to school in the morning only by school bus because I thought that it'll save the inconvenience that'll be caused to my dad as he'll have to go out of the way to drop me.And if that would not have been possible,then I would've to go on a manual rickshaw and that just truly sucks. I can't bear the slowness of that thing.

7:30 A.m.@ School(Class X-C)
I'm sitting on a front bench with no other student in the class and I've nothing to do as you know math can't be read,it has to be practised,which I didn't feel like because I was full to the neck with last night's work that I had done,by burning the midnight lamp.I just then popped out of my class and as it was Saturday...so no assembly(which I don't attend even on regular days).I hurried to the computer lab,went in and decided to surf some Internet(I've this much rights because I'm the member of Techeez Club in school.Oh damn,the net was not working.The wi-fi network had not been switched on.)

8:45 A.m. @ Ground floor corridor.
Still,I' moving like a moron,with nothing to do.Just,meeting up with some people on the way and all the people were studying.Then went in class and took a U-like Sample Papers Book and started shuffling through the solved papers.At this point of time,an instinctive aura of boredom started surrounding me and to come out of this thing,I just closed the book and went away to my exam room,i.e., XII-C and sat there.

Then after that I helped some colleagues with some doubts and yeah, eating a samosa.

Fast forward.... 12:45 P.m. :Examination Hall (last bench).
Just one 6-mark question was left and that too because of an unfair calculation that was given to be done.I was required to take out of under root 38.25 and it was reqd. to solve the question.
I just wrote down 6.194 after a lot of scribbling on question paper and desk. (I didn't have a rough sheet).

1:30 P.m. (In the bus)
I'm feeling all pleased with my good attempt at this math exam.Hoping to score good marks in it and just gearing myself for English exam which is next.

I tried out this new format of writing a post.Please comment if you like this style.I like it but its really time-consuming,but it gives a clear picture.

Time Passing Photography

Hey hi.

My grand-dad is hospitalised for the past week or so.I didn't mention it here because I didn't want to make this blog more depressing as it is already much on a sad-note due to the Mumbai attacks.

Anyways, I was getting bored out there while waiting so I clicked some photos of the fishes in the aquarium, which was placed in their reception area. This is one of my 'boredom fits' which I get when I'm getting seriously bored.At such times I don't care about who's there and what anyone thinks,I'm just lost in my own wild world.I guess I saw people giving me strange looks because I was doing such a funny-ful thing in such a serious environment of a hospital.I didn't care and I just thought that " I'm not doing a crime or something." and as far as I remember I murmured in my throat " I don't give a damn,go to hell!" So,I'm very pleased to show the snaps of those not-so-beautiful and really common fishes which everyone must have seen at least a dozen times or maybe more.But still,I just wanna show up my photographic talent (which isn't really cool with mobile cameras.)

These are some shots.Picture quality sucks,I know.But I don't care as long as it looks good on my blog.

Tomorrow's maths.I gotta go and practice.

S.St: A walk on thorns.

My messy S.St notes register.You can have a glimpse of my tidy untidy hand-writing which I'm desperately trying to improve on recommendations of various teachers & colleagues.

Atlast,my oh-so-dreadful S.St paper is finally over and some burden is off my head.I feel a lil' chilled out.

And coming to the paper,the paper was good enough.I mean the standard of question paper and stuff.It was really competitive type,I guess.I think there were some HOTS (High Order Thinking Skills)question which required some reasoning and I guess I did justice to them. Anyways,I'm satisfied with my attempt but I'll try to improve my performance in IInd Pre-Board.And now I gotta gear up for my next exam which is scheduled to be held on saturday and I think I've a strong grip over my maths concepts so I guess I'll be doing a fairer job in that paper,hopefully.

So,now a lil' update on all things new.

Its now kind of final,I confirmed it today that I'm going to Modern Barakhambha for "Access 2008" for the Junior Quiz.This'll be my last symposium as a junior quizzer coz next year onwards I'll be joining the senior band-wagon.

And yeah I checked out this advertisement of Suzuki A-Star on 'Punjabi Bagh' flyover.Also,I saw the car LIVE on roads also.Looks great and to describe it in a nut-shell its a small lil' car with chic looks and kinda impressive stats.Check out the Ad.I took the pic in a moving car,so I couldn't focus.

Bye for now.Gotta go and see math.

Eve of Pre-Boards

Hey Hi.
I just a small petty break from my pre-boards prep for my S.St paper.The syllabus is just so vast and I think I'll be lost in this 'inferno'.Anyways,I won't waste much time about cribbing about this.The point is simple I wasted a lot of time in the past days and now I'm somewhat regretting. ;)

But let me just give a quick but (un)necessary update about all the stuff thats going on in and around my not-so-interesting life.
First of all,the Mumbai attack.I mean the operation are over and now the blame game between politicians and intelligent agencies is going on.But I won't go into details and make my blog a target for all the political critics.
Then,on my personal front,tomorow onwards I'll be having my Pre-boards and I'll try as much as possible to come here and keep on giving a short and peppy update of how's it going coz I won't be able to write long posts on interesting topics.Also,I'll hopefully be participating in Modern School's "Access 2008" which has been postponed to 16-17 December. Yipee..Atleast my jinx of all symposiums will (hopefully) be broken,at last.

And yeah,yesterday I wasted around 1 hour or so to find this not-so-beautiful theme but I liked it to some extent for its dark shades and it matches my mysterious personality. HEHE. :)
I guess it'll surely be appreciated by all,but I'll surely change it as soon as possible.

So that was a nice lil' update,though I wanted to write a longer post on something more interesting but as every scratch card says "Better Luck Next Time".So, I'll also sign off or all that S.St stuff will surely take me down on the ground.

The Damned Evil strike again.

Hey Hi.

Today my day started off a lil' early at around 8 a.m. or so.But it started a with a real bad note as in the morning I came to know about the terrorist attack(s) that had taken place in Mumbai. I know the incident took place yesterday early night,but I was stuck on the Indo-English ODI cricket match and I was too lazy to browse through the news channels.

Anyways,Jokes Apart. I mean the incident which has happened yesterday is damn serious and I guess something needs to be done to curb this hellova menace.In the morning,when I saw the news and came to know about the whole plot, it seemed to be a plot from some Sylvester Stallone's action flicks.I was like awestruck.Even some of my friends to whom I talked on phone were left dumbstruck with what has happened and I was most surprised to see the terrorist's guts who don't give a damn about the rules and laws of Indian govt. Just a few minutes ago,I saw a update on Times Now that the terrorists had come to Mumbai by using jet-boats and came straight from Karachi,fully loaded with arms and ammunition and just when they reached the Indian coast near Gateway of India,they started firing.To me,all this seemed much like a mission in some GTA game.They came in Mumbai and started firing their latest AK-47s and other heavy guns and even some grenades which resulted in killing of around 100 people and injuring a massive 250 people.There was even an explosion in Taj Hotel.

Check out some snaps of the havoc that was created all over Mumbai.

Even now,there is cross-firing going on between terrorists and NSG (National Security Guard) commandos at Taj Hotel and Oberoi Hotel where the terrorists have some hostages.God knows what'll be the result of all this.

I don't know WTF-ing pleasure do people get in killing the innocent masses.Damn the terrorists and their evil brain which make heinous ideas to kill the people and create terror in the minds of the people.
I'm short of time.I need to go and study and catch up on my lunch.

Pristine Nature

Hey Hi!
I came across this mystic and breathtaking natural lake of Afghanistan in a newspaper.The lake is called "Band-e-Amir" (meaning :"Dam of the Amir").Its located the Hindu Kush Mountains of Central Afghanistan. This lake was a tourist attraction some decades ago, but now with the war conditions out there,there have been no tourists coming there.All the swan shaped paddle boats for boating purpose,are stranded and getting rusted in the lonely environs of the place. But still, it seems like a 'heavenly beautiful piece of earth' which is there in its pristine and untouched form and I guess it must be a super peaceful place.Check out some of its shots I found on Google.

Bird's Eye view of the lake






Is it really earth?? I thought it to be something related to heaven.

So,I guess everyone who checks out this post will appreciate the research work I've done for this blog.

(P.S.:I've appreciated a lot about the beauty and peacefulness of the place,but personally I wouldn't like to go out to this place because the silence at night will surely take the crap outta me.)

Nothing Substantial.

Hey Hi.
I'm posting this post just for the sake of writing something on my blog.Actually,there's nothing substantial for me to write out here.But still,I'll give it a try.
The school's going all boring and I'm not gonna bore you now by telling you how boring it actually is.I guess everyone out here is either suffering from the same boredom which I'm facing or have already faced it earlier in the recent past or so.
There's nothing new on TV as well these days.My VH1 (my fav. channel) is missing for quite a while, so I've been kinda out of touch from all my favourite shows. Curse the cable provider.I'm seriously thinking to change over to Airtel DTH service. The Ad is really good,with all the actors and sport stars roped in, but I can't tell about the service they provide. And yeah,on the cricketing circuit(rather,field) India is really on a winning streak.Thats good for us all. xD

And talking about my academics,they are all going fine now,the syllabus is almost over just a lil' bit in S.St is left but that all is being covered up with weekend extra classes.
(P.S.:these extra classes are more of basketball matches because everyone turns up late and tired after playing basketball for hours.)
And now the time has come to sit back at home and relax do self study.
And yeah there's even a big DPS (or rather Exun dilemma) in the middle of my headbecause no teacher is ready to go and moreover our school authorities are also questioning us for going to exun 2008 because its on 29th and thats the election polling day in Delhi.Oh Damn!!

Now,lets wait and watch,what comes out of this thing.

Time's Up!!, Mr.Yang.

So,Mr.Jerry Yang,CEO of Yahoo has finally resigned and through this post I just wanna bid a warm farewell to him. :
Jerry Yang celebrating the happy moments of YAHOO Inc.
CHeers for all his work in the past years and his good deeds,though with this Steve Ballmer must be breathing some fresh air as the new CEO might just accept his take-over bid and just makes the Yahoo share-holders happy,as they have been cribbing all the past months due to falling share rates.
Anyways,with the global economic recession going on,I doubt whether such an economically big deal will take place.Anyways lets hope for the best.

Great Song.

hey check out this song.It has got really good lyrics that really make you feel good and enlightened (to some extent.) :

Boring day,even boring classes.

Hey hi.
There ain't interesting stuff going on out here in school.Life's getting boring and more hectic with each passing day.Had a really big and tired day at school.All 8 periods academics,even an extra class in assembly time in school.I would have rather gone to DPS MR and attended WArP,but not many members of my IT club were willing to go as most members are in board classes ,i.e.,10th and 12th,so just studying business.

Anyways, me and my classmates did have fun in the class.The point is that many students like to take PANGA with the teachers so that somewhat gives us all a nice yet deserving break.
See some make fun by following the same thing that they show in the Ad of Motorola Yuva A810. Its a real cool Ad.



Enjoy this video and share a lil' light moment and feel happy.
I don't have much to write about now and even if I had I wouldn't have jotted it down now because my fingers are really getting painful with every letter I press on my Microsoft keyboard.This adverse condition of my fingers is because of the BIG sst notes which we're made to right down in school.

Now I need to sign off as I'm seriously in need of some sound sleep.

DPS dilemma.

Hey hi.
These DPS society folks have put me in a big dilemma because they have scheduled all their IT symposiums (which I always long for) at the wrong time, i.e., they are all scheduled at such a worse time of the year when there's the pressure of IInd term exams and this exam fear feels like a sword that's constantly pricking on my neck and will fall anytime.

See there's DPS Mathura Road's event "WARP" on 19th of this month.Then, there's DPS Vasant Kunj's event "Code Wars" on 21st November and then after a week or so, there's this big mega event of DPS R.K. Puram "EXUN 2008" on 29th and 30th November.
I really want to be a part of all these.Last year,I gave DPS-VK's event a miss because of some reasons,but I went to DPS-RKP and WE became the finalists in the quiz,though it wasn't exactly a 'podium-reaching' attempt.So,this time I want to go there again and (try to) relive the magic.But the climax is that its on 29th and from 4th December onwards I've my IInd term exams and the first exam is of Social Studies.I guess the name is bold enough(literally and figuratively) to make you understand,what I wish to convey.That's not a problem,though,I'll somewhat try to cover up the syllabus beforehand.But the biggest problem is to convince my folks at home.
Someone please help.The same scene is there in every 'Techeez' member's household.

Also,there's this event CORE of DPS -Dwarka,I don't know when is it,though and we haven't got an invite from them.So,thats out of question.And yeah,there's this TCS IT Whiz Quiz on 11th December at IIT delhi,but that's totally out of question because on 12th,I've my science exam and it'll surely be taking the shit out of me.

As a conclusion,I would just like to advice DPSites to keep their symposiums in October like they always do.Please don't mind.This post is not aimed to show show any disrespect to DPSites.

My Update.

Hey here is a quick update of whats going around me and whats new and what am I upto?

Yesterday was my S.St extra class in the morning,though it was a holiday.Got up early-went to school before the allotted time-played basketball with friends.

Then studied for an hour or so and then more basketball...then some more studies...then class ended and which meant more basketball as I'm addicted to it.Then after that came outta school and started walking slowly with friends towards my home...,though its not a walkable distance.
But still,I'm somewhat of a nature lover at heart so I decided to take a stroll and enjoy the beauty of nature and feeling the warmth of sun in this cold weather...but soon the so called 'nature lover' died out in me..so I took a rickshaw(the manual one) and came back home and slept.

Anyways, Audi R8 has been launched in Delhi and it costs nearly 1.7 crores (INR).WOW! thats a big price,I guess.

And yeah,I got a new pair of lenses fitted in my old spectacle frame,so its like "New wine in Old bottle.".[was this a lame joke??]So,the world looks much fresher and enriching now.

And yeah Pre-boards are coming nearer and nearer with each passing day and pressure is building up...

Thats all...I couldn't write a long post on an issue or topic because I'm short of time.
Bye.Gotta go.

My Blog's Prediction.

Hey yipee....!!
my blog is going places these days.I had started a poll asking who'll become the next US president and the result I had there stated that Barack Obama will surely become the next US President.
And here he's as the next president of US.I guess he proves to be a good president for all the world as the whole global economy and stuff,moves around USA.
Have a look at this poster of Obama,I really like this one.


But,yeah there's one contradiction in his behaviour (post-victory) that he hasn't called up any Indian PM or president since he has won.He has called up heads of 15 nations ,including our biggest counter-part,Pakistan's Zardari, but I think its wrong on his part to ignore India which is surely a buzzing nation and has potential to give Americans (read as dumbs) a run for their money.
Ok now no more into politics.

Talking about sports,though I'm not much interested in the ongoing Indo-Aus test series,but still I guess its worth it for me as a patriot of my nation to tell all my Indian friends that India has won the test-series 2-0.For other details log on to cricketnext.com.
As-a-matter-of-fact,I hate Test Cricket as its too slow and boring and I guess its better for the old hats,I prefer T20.

I had taken a 20-min. break to just freshen up myself and I just thought of posting a new post so as to keep my blog's scoreboard ticking.But now,I think I've fully exhausted my time.

The Overclocked Quiz.

Hey I guess Pulkit(rather,Pulzkit) is gonna kill me for posting this link of quiz because I kinda copied this post from his blog.But,I think its my birth right to post this link (see I'm reading democracy in S.St) because I too have equally contributed in this quiz and we both were the quiz designers and quiz masters.

So all the IT lovers (read as Techies) have a look at this quiz and try out how you perform and leave your feedback and comments.

Great Speeches by even great men.

Hey hi...
I was reading the play JULIUS CAESAR in class.I found it good enough, is surely a great work of literature and I really admire it.So,I found video of Mark Antony's famous speech on YouTube.

http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=7X9C55TkUP8&feature=related

check it out.its good.

and also see this video of Obama's speech when he finally won the Presidential elections.Its a really inspiring video and it has also got an emotional touch, but the vigour and power is nonetheless.
The link is: http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=6185658 (complete speech in Full HD)......enjoy and get inspired.

Different Strokes was FuN!!

Hey hi.
Today was my school's annual inter-school fest "Different Strokes" and it went smoothly.This time around I was the organizer of the IT quiz.So,I did all the back-stage stuff which includes making up the quiz and rules and preparing for the finals round which was brushing up my accent and stuff. The main drawback of organizing all these events is that the main people who do all the hard field-work don't get much attention and recognition.
Anyways,no point in complaining because it was in all an enriching experience for me and I gained a lot of knowledge out of this.Talking about the quiz,I guess me and my partner Pulkit did quite a fair job as starters.

And now talking about the US elections...
Barack Obama has won the presidential elections...so I think that he'll be helpful and supportive like a good prez and be useful to USA ,to India and to the whole world at large.

AMEN TO BARACK OBAMA (the first black prez of US)
[P.S.: Now,don't think I'm trying to act like a racist]

Next Generation PSP(s) concept

Hey while doing some googling..Oh I penned a new term .WOW!!
Anyways back to the point,I mean just now I was doing some searches on Sony PSP just like that and in the middle of all this I came across new PSP concepts that are soon gonna be turned into real-life gadgets in the near future.It'll surely be a dream come true experience for some rookie game-players like me who seem to admire each and every graphic and styling in the games.

Check them out.


his the first concept I saw on Google.It was fine but I think its gonna be more bulkier and deformed than the present PSP,but the touch-screen feature makes it stand out of the crowd.


This is the PSP concept from Sony Ericsson.The design is somewhat similar to the present one,but still is cool enough.


This is another concept Of Sony PSP which I found in Google Image Search.Looks more like a mini laptop,but is not pocket-sized,so it isn't portable enough.

And yeah, I found another concept in the WHAT'S HOT magazine that comes with Delhi Times (Times of India,Delhi).It was kind of cooler than all these.Check it out.
and see the step-by-step movement how it works.








It has been designed by Designer Tai Chiem and he has chipped in a flexible OLED display that can be rolled into the cylindrical key etched console.When switched on,the electric charge powering the display stiffens the screen and the stereo speakers on the sides double up as a jog wheel and camera control.It's surely a hellova design and it can't as portable as this.
Still asking for more???

I've only one advice...
Just wait for 5 years or so and all this will be history.
Rock on \m/

Proud Moment For All Indians.

Hey hi.I feel greatly honoured to inform that our Indian ace chess player Viswanathan Anand has won the World Championship title by beating Vladimir Kramnik.
Yesterday's match was really crucial for Kramnik as it was do or die for him to remain in the series and when our Indian player won the match it felt as if the sword of Damocles which was hanging on Kramnik throughout the match fell down his neck,as he lost the match.
So,now V. Anand is the ultimate chess player in the world.May God bless him.



Hail him and his mental strength whose reign may cross all boundaries and stays here forever.

Diwali

Hey,today is the holy festival of Diwali.It has got many religious stories attached to it and that makes it very sacred.But, yesterday night I was out in my society's park for a little stroll just to loosen up my mind and soul as I was really bugged up with the whole careless and mind-blocking scenario that was just clogging my head a lot for the last few days, like water that is clogging the mud in a paddy field(a scientific fact),oh see I remember some of my notes from my geography class.
So,now back to the point I was trying to convey that this year I'm not gonna blow up crackers and stuff,because this time around I feel I've become aware and concerned about saving our planet earth after seeing the great movie "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore.That movie was a real inspirational movie and I guess every school should show it to all students atleast once.
So,it was yesterday night I saw 2 young guys firing crackers and that was emitting so much smoke and that too purely white and hazardous and at that point of time I felt as if I could feel the poisonous gas on my skin and I started seeing images of Arctic Ice glaciers melting in the star-studded sky and that image was horrifying.
I guess the notion of celebrating Diwali has changed over the years and I think its getting worse and worse,and now its more of a show-off celebration among people and there's a kind of competition among families of who blows up the most amount of money on crackers and I don't understand what kind of high people get in blowing off a 5000 rupee rocket in sky which survives for some nano-seconds and then it goes nowhere.WHATS THE USE???

So in the end my message is to just have a safe,happy and prosperous Diwali without causing harm to yourself and at the large scale, to the earth.





Here's a poem on Diwali as I end my post.

Season of Lights
Dunes of vapors from crackers rise,
Engulf, as odorous airs resound
Effusing joys to all abound
Pearls of gleams in these autumn nights
Adorn our lives else trite
With sparklers that motley skies
As soaring spirits of powder wander
Let us thank the heavenly might,
In this festive season of lights.
