The Next Generation Basketball: SlamBall

I came across this new form of Basketball, called "SlamBall" on AXN last evening.And I got totally fascinated by it.Its a new and cooler form of baskeball which is more aggressive and entertaining at the same time with its new form of rules and adrenaline pumping stunts and shots.It has really taken street basketball to a new level altogether.

I'm short of time so read about it here: Slamball(wikipedia)

and to get a more clearer notion of what this exactly is see this video.

Thank You : My lil' blog & its *modest* Readers

Hey people, its been quite a while since I've been off my blog and haven't posted anything. The point was that I was kind of losing out my interest in this blogging thing due certain time constraints.Plus, I didn't have any issue/topic to blog about which might be interesting for the readers.

You must be wondering about whats this cribbing thing got to do with the title.I would suggest : "Folks.Hold On."

But yesterday, a thing happened that amazed me and thrilled me. I would mystify it anymore.

The thing is that I got my first pay cheque(is it rather a pay cheque) for my blog through the numerous ads that I've placed.Its just a meagre amount of $7.41 but still I ain't complaining because I'm atleast satisfied that I've earned this money without any help or support,its all due to my effort which I did by bleeding my fingers on my keyboard(it doesn't bleed though,I did this just to intensify my work, so that it could be highlighted.) for churning out long posts and attracting visitors.
Amen to that.

Check out a snapshot of the letter.

Anyways getting back to my modest self, I must thank all my readers who've taken out their precious time to read my blog and commented on my "not-so-good-but-frank" posts and those who've rugged their mouse or pointing sticks(laptop users) for clicking on my ads and helping me earn some bucks.Its been less than a year( I guess). and with all your support and encouraging comments I think this blog of mine : "Life and Times Of MS" has a long way to go.

THANK YOU ALL!!

(P.S.:Now I've got more vigour to get back to my blog and specially take out time for this as this money as come up as an incentive for my hard-work.)

Storm In Delhi

Last week, I think all delhities must have seen (or rather heard) the storm kinda thing that had struck the city.It was really great in itself and thats because I really like seeing the nature going wild.Dunno why, but I like the videos of storms and floods and tsunamis (minus the misery cause to the people by these vagaries of nature). Anyways, the point is that such storms in Delhi bring utmost relief and pleasure to people like me as rejuvnates all the senses which have all been rugged due to the pathetic heat of Delhi.

By the way,I was just trying out my mobile's camera's video-capturing skills, so I just tried to capture some video of the storm and lightning. But, it didn't out as good as I had expected but still for the phone's sake I have uploaded it. See it and enjoy the lil' great moment of "LIGHT" and do comment (please.).

Vodafone ZooZoos

Hey today I'm in a really great mood as I'm feeling so relaxed that I don't have my coaching so I can enjoy the whole evening without any tension and anxiety.I tell you these coaching classes(I'm in Brilliant Tutorials) are really hectic but at the same time you just can't ignore them if you want to make it through some competition.

Back to topic, these days the ads of Vodafone have been really impressive.The characters in these ads are so funny and amusing and at the same time they're so damn cute that you just can't stop a smile from coming on your face after seeing it.

Coming to the facts, these have been specially designed to "feed" to IPL audience(I read it in the newspaper).And ZooZoo merchandise, bags, keychains, T-shirts will be available soon to woo the people.

Now,enjoy some snapshots of these cute lil' creatures.

Just when you thought that these ZooZoos are too cute to live and you just wondered how professionally this piece of animation has been done.

Here comes the SHOCKER:

There are real people inside those Zoozoo costumes.The ad-man deliberately chose slim-built women to suit the role.The expressions on the faces of the Zoozoos, deliberately simplistic and limited in number, were all made in rubber and pasted onto their heads.

The Ad shot was taken at 20 frames per second which made the Zoozoo’s movements hurried and comical. Of the 29 different Zoozoo ads created for the IPL, there will be a new one everyday.

Now check out one of these ads.Its short and funny,though others are also good.



P.S.: I finished reading White Tiger two weeks ago.(sorry,couldn't tell earlier.)Great book.A must read..it really brings out the real truth of Indian ideology
