What do I do???????

What do I do????????????
What do I do????????????
What do I do????????????

Its all about the countryside...

Of long rides and big noisy gangs of boys...
of the watery destinations and lies told to mum,
between saving money and spending times our choice
risk to life and limb some say , oh come get some!

its not about the source or the destination,
its not about the "Daring youth of the nation"
Its not about the thunder of your bike, don't be so gung-ho,
Its all about the journey by the countryside bro...

its only the journey...its about where all you go!!!

Don't go where your life takes you...take your life where you wanna go!

Of all abominations...which is worst :-/

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a east coast resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your devoted fan,
Jim

Now, I dunno bout jews and their stuff...but this letter sure cracked me up!!!

I was just ROTFL

I am...

I am me...

My story is so deep and wide
which,forever my smile shall hide,
far from the truth,what my eyes will tell
all hidden in a dark and dingy well

My soul to the devil,did I sell
Mine ain't a heart, I'ts a heart shaped hell
I'll never tell you,because it ain't ya burden to know
No tears,I'll only reap what I'll sow

I try to sow the best,with the future in mind
from ants to elephants,I've tried to be kind
Today,roars of laughter to punctuate my sorrow.
I know for sure,I'll be happy tomorrow

Tomorrow will come,but it'll take a day or two
till then,let me tell you,I can love too
a heady mix of emotions I always sail in
Dreams not for you mate,throw 'em in the bin

My survival never ceases to amaze those,
those,who've heard my untold prose
Haunted day and night by the ghost of the past
yet I stay away from a delusional holocaust

Go Ahead,Laugh with me, AT ME , I've now made your day?
but remember, the sun will shine for me too ,'ll make hay
Yet,I wouldn't want anybody to pay
nope,all are forgiven, nobody should pay

The Microprocessor lab

3 hours? are you bullshitting me??? It felt like 3 years.
The lab I was most scared of!The moment arrived and I got the programs that I thought I would be ok with.THANK GOD!!Well,there are two parts...the first part(sofware) was done in a jiffy!beautiful.The second one, I had never tried,I was unsure about it.I tried it,it seemed to work.
But something told me that it wasn't totally right.OK FINE SMARTASS...everything about the question told me it wasn't right.But that was the program that my friends had passed onto me, they said it was right.I also recalled a friend tell me during the labs that this was the way the program worked.I still wanted to make sure.I turned to my right, lo and behold the topper was sitting there, I whishpered to him " Question 3B...I am getting the sqaure of input - X*X is that correct??" He confidently answered in affirmative.I asked again " Are you sure???" he replied "yes".Poor guy!He was already scolded once for some whispering...and here I was, troubling him all over again.
Still something about the program didn't seem right!But I was the dumb guy.So I must be wrong, there is no way three brilliant students can be wrong.Anyway I had got one of the programs working at least, so I decided to cool my nerves and show the output, if it was wrong I could try something later on.
I looked at my watch it was 9 AM...the internal examiner said -"What I'll be there"

...


9:30AM waiting


....


10AM waiting


....


10:30 AM sleeping


....


10:40 AM

the external examiner calls me for VIVA, he totally messes me up with his weird way of asking questions.Something told me that he was dying of laughter within himself, just looking at my face.I know "I AM A DUMB GUY" is written all over my face...but this was really irritating me.
After receiving two phone calls , one of which seemed to be a marriage proposal (Now I was dying of laughter,inside ofcourse!!!I wanted to tear open my shirt and run out of the lab laughing, kicking and screaming ) he came back to me and asked me to show the output.
He asked me if it was correct."Knock!Knock! Hellooooo anybody home? Would I show you the output if I thought it was wrong? " I wanted to say!But I just said "Yeah!".
He asked me to show it to my internal instead.

The god damned woman was nowhere in site!!!
11:05 AM


she finally shows up at my system and I am humbled by her punctuality! She checks the first output,then I think she marked it (??).For the second one she calmly says..."oh this is wrong!!!...anyway, your time is up"


Had she come 20 minutes early I could have done something!!
Had I just once told myself - you are not so dumb (at least for the time being) , try and work it right, you idiot!!!
Had I this...
Had I that...

No use crying over split milk they say.At least this time I consider that it was not a run of bad luck but of bad preparation.I suffered from bad luck in the labs...for once I can say that I didn't!Even though nothing much seems to changed in the outcome!

"GO TO HELL!!!" I muttered and walked out of the lab wondering what was to happen of the my buddies who were still left behind

Baabu Moshaiiiii!!!!!

The store house of guts,gumption and determination gets its due...finally
On the off side there is god, then there is Saurav...
Baabu Moshai??
Khoob!! Bahut khoob!!
Superb Kelchaooo!!!
Lage raho dada
me goin gaga!!



\m/ ROCK ON!!! \m/

Whats in the news??

A few weeks back, as I sit down to recollect all the news of the day I read into my thoughts as...

1)The govt. has fallen (Again)
2)India put up a poor show on the field (Again)
3)A three year old girl raped and murdered (Again)
4)Violence somewhere-everywhere (Again)
5)I have failed in another subject (Again)
6)Another one of my friends not speaking to me (Again)
7)Deepak doesn't want to see my face (...Again)
8)No development in my project

More the things change,more they stay the same...but somehow I wish my life remained same through lots of changes than staying same like a stagnant pool of pond scum!

a few days back I sit down again to recollect the news...

1)Kevin Rudd, wins elections in Oz,overthrows John Howard and as first act as PM signs Kyoto Protocol! - YOU GO DUDE!!! hudaman?Udaman!!
2)India win a test Vs Pak
3)I complete my project -thnx to some angels :)
4)Only one Tigress shot dead in Vidarbha as against the 'Shoot-at-sight' order for all tigers in region, operation called off after Man-eater killed!
5)I am getting closer :) I can sense it...hang in there tiger,you deserve it.
6)Future seems much more brighter...focus will return!


Now...things can change? for better or for worse? cause if anything can go wrong...it will and I'm looking to leave nothing to chance!
Lets wait and watch!

U DA MAN!!!

The match

As expected, I got off my bed at 6 AM without a minute of sleep behind me.If ever, I catch some sleep after 6 AM till around 8 each day...so that was ruled out.Me and my bloodshot eyes reached the ground to find other mist breathing teammates already on the ground.
5th mech are supposed to be a bad bunch at cricket...but this team had 3 good cricketers in their team[Abhinav,Ayyapa,Sudhir].We had discussed the batting order for about 2 days...and it was agreed that I will open.I tend to get nervous while batting, no matter how insignificant the match is,so I need to know solidly when and where I am gonna come at.Only think I don't get nervous at is my fielding and bowling.
We won the toss and choose to field.Abhinav bashed everyone outta the park and was retired in a jiffy.Then this show-off dude came in and luckily for us, he slowed their run rate down.When I came on to bowl, I almost got him a couple of times.But it felt so empty after coming all the way from home to bowl 4 fiery deliveries [ thankfully all fast and accurate] and 2 throws at our own classmate.I was also involved in 3 run outs...so I was feeling good about myself.Later another guy, whose name I don't know came in and bashed us again...to take them to a whooping 108.
I was asked if I could NOT open.I had to agree.Before I could start thinking about how n when n all that of the game ahead, Pavan got out and I had to go in.
Their 'strategy' was - if the bowler is too good, then give the strike to the girl cause then he will HAVE to throw.This brainy strategy was deviced barely minuted before the game started on the advise of the senior and I followed it.I was not too surprised when I was asked whether I could come off and leave it to the pros.Sooner than I could say "SIX" I had to go back in to bat.This time I decided to just do whatever I felt like doing...
1)because I had had enough of 'strategy' which only I had to follow and still get blamed for it
2)because it was the last over of the match :P
We managed to hit 4 boundaries all of which were SIXES...one of them against my name.Jayanth had scored 16 and myself 10...the only 2 to into double digits...bad performance? HELL YES!
While 3 of their guys did all the damage...I heard the rest were doing what they do best- Abuse.
I don't know much of it...cause it didn't happen around me and I rather not read much into it, mainly because I had great fun even though we lost.I have never smiled so much after losing.My glass is half full and thus let me say, the girls played just as good as the boys!
Ofcourse, I was sad I lost...
On the way back, I finally expressed my regret to my friend about not opening and she said "You should have"...maybe she was just being supportive, I batted badly...but not opening is now turning out to be more of an excuse to me than reason.So I decided not to speak more about it after that.After all, I had had a great time.HONEST.I have always been blamed for being (or trying to be) too competitive and taking games (Not just cricket) too seriously.I never understood what that meant.I mean, winning is everything, isn't it? Now I know what they meant...and I had to lose to find out.


I am at peace, I must remind you.I started playing cricket with such passion only to channel my anger in the first place.But sometimes, some people have a cooling/calming effect on you and work wonders.From yesterday, I haven't needed a channel for my anger at all.I'm at peace.Finally.

Lastly I would like to add that , I lost my manners today morning.I forgot to thank all of them for coming and putting up a show.(I guess, it has something to do with this peace thingy? ).
It seemed like everyone else also enjoyed...and I hope they did.There are other teams from my class who are already in the league.Its fun, why wouldn't they be? and my wishes are with them.

Cricket

We are supposed to play this game tomorrow, the same one I told you about earlier( CLICK HERE TO READ THAT ENTRY). Our team goes in in with virtually no practice...and don't even ask about the girls.I dont have any doubt that we are a bad team...our chances of winning are very bad, but I don't want to go in without thinking of victory.I have been in a sort of loosing streak now, all the teams I have played for the last 9 games have lost, maybe it has something to do with me?...I wouldn't blame me cause I wouldn't say that about anybody else either.
This kind of a tournament is made to just have fun with all your friends, both the guys and the chicks and I plan to do just that, have fun.Some of my best friends are in the side and I wanna see all of them smile.
Only thing,barely hours before I go into the game is the lack of anger in me...hehe.Whenever I have played well, I have played well because I had been angry at something or someone...but today , just now, all of sudden, I don't seem to be angry at all.I am at peace.Very calm.Its a great thing for me, I haven't felt like this for a really long time.But I don't think it can be good for the game tomorrow ;)
Anyway, there are other hitters in the side and I will bowl well anyway, that I am confident of.


All I ask for now...is that we have fun, whether we win or lose.I WANT TO WIN...but if I can't have that, I'll settle for an hour of fun :)

Grrrrr

Figure this out...

Watch this picture.Count the number of guys.Wait for 10 seconds...count them again.

How many are there??

Puppies puppies and more puppies
