The vast difference in lvls and eliteness and the fact that i am gonna die in one hit .. doesnt really stop me from killing him lol. The bastard killed me 10 times . I followed him for hours . Tracked him down and killed him with the help of a friend . Revenge is sweet . The reward isnt … got only 10 silver for killing it lol :P

Stupid Book Titles

2009-05-18T18:26:00.001-07:00

These are some of the most stupidest book titles i have come across .

1) Men are from Mars and women are from Venus by John Gray ( 50 million)

Interesting but could someone please tell me who do they still manage to cross the planet barrier and have sex and have kids . And what planet would the kids be from ?

2)Who Moved my Cheese by Spencer Johnson ( 10 million copies sold )

Dude seriously you expect people to spend money on your book so they can figure out why the fuck is your cheese missing . Instead Why cant they go buy some more cheese from the supermarket which is much cheaper . Maybe i am wrong here but 10 million people did seem to be interested .

3)What colour is your parachute ? by Richard Bolles ( 10 million copies sold)

So now people need to be fashion conscious even while saving there llives ? Does it really matter if i get my ass saved from squishing if i am in a pink or blue parachute ?

4)Captain Underpants by Dave Pilkey (26 million copies sold )

Ok best part is this is a kids book . Is this what they mean by sex education at young age ? Or is the author giving lessons to kids on how to get into underpants ?

5)The no.1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander Smtih ( 15 million )

Seriosuly ? A ladies detective agency .. i mean seriously ? So do they like find out about missing earrings and stuff ?

I am awesome … True Story

2009-05-16T09:58:00.001-07:00

Our awesome world was not so awesome until the recent awesome era came into its true awesomeness. Before this awesome era , our awesome world was deprived of awesome people and hence a cloud of not so awesomeness used to reduce the awesomosity of the awesome world. Hate to non awesomify the existence of those not so awesome people but the truth is that our world definately needed to get back in its awesomeness. And then came the awesome me . Suddenly under a fraction of awesomosity the world started to ge back its awesomeness. Why did the awesomeness start awesoming again you ask in an awesome manner ? Because the awesome miracle of the awesome birth of awesome me awesomified the awesomness of our awesome world. What is so awesomly awesome about my awesomeness is that the aura of awesomeness due to my awesomosity makes all the other awesome people feel more awesome so that they awesomify the awesomeness of other awesome people around them. This awesome phenomena of awesomeness is what has truly brought this awesome world to its epic awesomic awesomeness.

Dining Philosopher's Problem

2009-04-24T09:13:00.001-07:00

I am finally done with my system software and operating system orals .They were good and i’m expecting a good score. Although studying for 2 nights in a row without sleep was tiring i did come across one of the funniest illustration of my life.

Deadlock – A deadlock is a situation in which two computer programs sharing the same resource are effectively preventing each other from accessing the resource, resulting in both programs ceasing to function.

To understand this here is the most hilarious example of the century .

During olden ages there used to 5 witty philosophers whose only aim in life were to think and eat . Now one fine day they realised that they should eat spaghetti to increase their brains because spaghetti has proteins. Since these philosophers were rich filthy bastards with loads of table manners and shit ( who knows maybe they were British :P ) they were trained to eat with two forks only and they had to start by picking the fork with the left hand first . And without 2 forks they would not eat .

* I swear im not drunk , this is true !!!! . Google it :P *

So they proceed towards a dining hall with 5 bowls of spaghetti and 5 forks present. Each of them grabs a fork with the left hand and realises that there are no more left. Thus a deadlock occurs :P

*hhahahaahahahahahahahaahahahah ok i cant control laughing but its true !!! *

Solution : Keep a guard to allow only 4 people at a time so one fork is free to use. Now 3 people can stare while one finishes off his food . Thus although there is starvation for a while but everyone does get to eat in the end.

Or they could buy a new fork or maybe turn Indian and start eating without forks Lol .

------------------------ ABOVE is what the reference book says ---------------------------------

I find a major flaw in this logic .

1) If the philosophers are filthy rich bastards who refuse to eat without 2 forks . Why would they prefer a used fork after the first guy is done eating !

2) What if the guard is hungry too ?? Then making the 5th person stay outside is pointless.

Solution – Think Indian again . Get a maid who will clean the forks after use and since she doesn't have table manners like the pathetic rick freaks … she could just do eating with bare hands in case she gets hungry .

O_o thanks taurius1 for giving the idea to put in on a blog .. i know u were gonna do it .. but i coudnt resist !!!! Credits to this man too THE MAN

Engineering is not for the weaklings !!!

2009-04-16T08:41:00.001-07:00

I guess most of you might have heard that engineering study life is hell . And believe me those are not rumours or exaggerations . Today was one the most tiring day of my life . Usually submissions during term ends can be exhausting but this one was a nerve wrecking .

I was in college from like 9 in morning till almost 7 without lunch , water , etc . Running around with files , completing assignments , new write ups and new assignments lol kept us busy all day . After coming home a few minutes back it feels like my head is the venue for a HIPPO Olympics .

Just to let you know how crazy things can get here is an example .

That’s the professor at the centre trying to correct files of everyone you can see in the picture. I really appreciate that man’s stamina and efforts . Trust me on this he signed over 200 assignments and write ups + ( 10 objective papers each of 82 students = 820 signatures ) . Just the way students put in lot of energy and hard work , i believe so do professors at times.

King Kong – Where did he go wrong ???

2009-04-15T08:49:00.001-07:00

I simply simply love this song . Its a masterpiece of one of my fav comedians , Jack Black . Its a must watch !!!!!

Hell i know after listening to this u will definately wanna sing this . So here go the lyrics to sing along :P

"KOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG-ah!!!!!
There's a little place I know
Where a bunch of funky people live.
They were looking for a sacrifice
One that they had to give.
To King Kong.
Where did he go wrong?
King Kong.
That's why I wrote this song
King Kong.
They took him to a world
Where he don't belong.
Had to find a lady to give to Kong
To keep that chunky monkey tame.
He fell in love with Naomi Watts' character
I forget her name. Okay, I have to admit I didn't read the script
'Cause I find that it gets in the way.
Of my acting pro-cess which I've carefully honed
And also I don't know how to read.
King Kong
Pass the Grey Poupon
King Kong
Fighting the Viet Kong
King Kong
Everybody bang a gong
'Cause he don't belong."
[ the band slows down for a minute ]
Jack Black: Alright, this is where the song gets really personal, so listen up.
[ the band pop right back into action again ]
Jack Black: [ singing ]
"I show up to the set at a quarter to noon
And then I pretend to get a nasty cramp.
So I can go back to my sweet-ass trailer
And take myself a tasty nap.
Then the director dude come and pound on my door
And say, "Jack this has got to STOP!"
But then the next day I had my sweet revenge
By urinating in his coffee pot.
On the set of King Kong
Wears a massive thong
King Kong
He got it going on
King Kong
Jack Black wrote this song
So do yourself a favor
Please clap along
Everybody now
Clap with me
But do not sing
The singing's my job
You'll only mess up the song, trust me.
1, 2, 3 - King Kong!
Opening in Hong Kong
King Kong
He listens to Cheech and Chong
King Kong
This is his theme song
He's a crazy old gorilla
And he guarantee a thrilla'
And once you see the movie
You'll be feeling pretty groovy
And a rooby dooby da ba do ba ba bo oh
KING KONG!"

The Election Drama !

2009-04-06T21:22:00.001-07:00

I appreciate the new youth all gearing up for elections by advertisements and campaigns like “ Jago Re” or Nuajavan Voting Campaign or something like that. Its a good thing that people are being motivated to vote.

Frankly speaking i am a bit inspired too but here is my problem or rather problems :

Top 5 reasons why i would not vote :

1) I see no candidates or parties with zero criminal cases or any court case pending against them.

2) Elections is the reason why my third year Mumbai university exams have been postponed by a month and the college is in utter chaos . This is bull shit since elections eitherways get over even before the new preponed date i.e 11th May.

3) Atleast in my life which has spanned 21 years till now , i havent seen a single candidate ever around whereever i have lived. All i see is hoardings no personal attention to localities.

4) Being a Mumbaikar , i know how much sloppiness is involved in the construction projects like flyovers and road diggings and sky walks . I fail to understand why the Malad – Kandivali western express highway jams every evening for the past 6-7 years. Its a 4 lane highway for godsakes ! But NO , the government needs to keep medlling around with some crap or the other to increase the traffic.

5) Frankly speaking i hate ignorant and illiterate people and i dont see how these candidates dont fall under those categories .

Mumbai breathes Fire !

2009-04-01T20:39:00.001-07:00

1st April 2009 , a day when people would generally play pranks and the happiness and laughter would reign everywhere. This time though Nature played a serious twisted prank on Mumbaikars though. The temperature in the city soared as high as 40.6 degress celcius.

What causes discomfort is the heat coupled with humidity which Mumbai experiences because of being close to the sea, I came home from college at around 4 with a bulky bag and a heavy dot matrix printer on the other. I walked like a kilometre from college to the bus stop then took a bus and got home. The entire commuting took only like 25 minutes but the exhaustion from it far worse. I was damn close to getting knocked down by the heat.

I simply thank the inventor of the Air conditioners which have been a boon to us and curse the filthy electricity board which is gonna charge me like crazy at the end of the month. Heh .

So take care , use your sun screens and beat the heat with some ice cream ( chocolate flavoured if possible ) Hehe .

Burnout or NFS – Both result in totalled cars !!!

2009-03-31T10:09:00.001-07:00

The picture speaks for itself. Btw thats me in the shorts.

So its 9.50 am , a bright Monday morning is in progression and my college starts at 10. I am in the lift heading downstairs in my building and satan calls. Its Mihir and he has an accomplice this time evil Nupur.

Im dedicated to go attend college and these guys make a plan to go to mudh island and drag me there too. I dont remember how but with a series of events somehow i was tricked in getting to mudh island.

The day proceeds well , we go to a friend’s house and have a good lunch and then plan to go Aksa beach. Just on the curvy way , somewhere along the road there is a blind curve. I drive as usual just the realise its an inclined blind curve and just when i turn , i see a big red bus aka my crash bag or NOT ! The turn would have been perfect but nature decides to playa funny game and puts some dirt on the road and my car skids to bang right into the bus and the rest is history .

Pune - A New Home

2009-03-27T06:46:00.001-07:00

So i have no clue why god had been so grateful to me recently but I'm not complaining . So finally i go to Pune again for my final year Project internship exam . Also :) to meet my girl friend .

Turns out all my preparation for the exam were fruitful because the paper came exactly as per my prediction. It was time to celebrate or not yet . Turns out my girlfriend also reveals about our wonderful relationship to her parents . For most this might be the scary part , but i was happy regardless of the outcome . In fact it was wonderful talking to her parents. They are very nice people and i am thankful to them for their courtesy and hospitality . They made me feel comfortable and at home.

Now my only wish is i get shortlisted for the final year project. And then i get good internship and a bonus trump card would be that the training is in Pune.

What did i learn from this ?

Parents are just wonderful people , they disguise themselves for our protection. So if there is anything you are hiding from them , don't !!!!!! Do the right Thing.

Cheesy Weesy Delight :)

2009-03-21T08:43:00.001-07:00

Alright its a Saturday afternoon , everyone is asleep and I’m studying . ITs just too quiet . And bang , i decide to create commotion and havoc by making pasta. I’ve never done it , which makes it all the more fun.

So i get like 10 cubes of cheddar cheese , that;s what the instruction said . And 200 gms of macroni + 2 tbsp butter + salt + pepper + milk and corn flour later we have pasta . At first it looked quiet good . Then on tasting i realise its just tooooo much cheese !!!

Not that i hate cheese , nor am i revolting against cheese lovers but trust me there was just too much cheese in it . MY digestive system should be all clogged up with sticky cheese by now as i complete this post . I had to end up finishing all it neverthless just to save my ego in front of my little sister . ^_^

Oops forgot to take a picture when it was full :P

A new start !

2009-03-20T07:05:00.001-07:00

Finally , i cant believe i am actually doing it .. resuming my blog . Its been a long time and i think i have run out of excuses to delay this moment .

But it would be interesting to let you guys know the list of excuses i made so far :P

1) Got too busy with a friend or rather a friend whom i had a crush on .

2) I proposed she rejected :(

3) 3 Months of depression

4) Coudnt find a good template for my blog :P

5) Fell in love again

6) Engineering is a bitch
