hello friends......i am back again....this time with another exciting feature about this whole "EXOTIC FAMILY".Again i am leting krrish and rishabh to take up all the serious matter coz they are better in it and i wud again be taking a lighter topic only....:)

--------------KASAULI TRIP--------------------

well, the day-27-9-09, after a lot of discussions, we decided to go to kasauli. Kasauli- "awesome scenic beauty". The enthusaism for this trip was at its peak. although we were 5 but the power was of 50.........lolz

BEGINNING-
After a long wait for the arrival of any means of going to waknaghat, we were still thinking how 2 reach there and suddenly, we saw a "pickup" of moksh and without wasting a single moment, jumped in it. What a ride, i mean it was really amazing, the cool wind blowing was so refreshing.And 10 mins we were at wakna.

Now,started the intersting part, after reaching solan, we took a local bus to kasauli and to my surprise, wat a bus it was.....really, jam-packed bus, how does the govt allow these people to overload!! i could write a whole para on the situation at that time but....lets continue wid the gud part....so with niks and utkkrush sitting with you, there's not a single moment without laughter....Utkkrush started selling tickets like a conductor with hos out of the world dialogues.....i sometimes think.....how does he get such kind of innovation.......now talking about niks or "piggu", his new name.....for more details, refer orkut........:)

well i remember, the whole vegetable stuff that was there in it, and also niks putting the pieces in our t-shirts again n again.......kaka n rishabh busy in listenin music and so was i.

finally, we reached Kasauli, and as u can see.....there's load of things to explore.....so we started our voyage......

first of all went to the church.......and there was someone siting on a bench(secret).....;)
well i wont be disclosing ne secrets......but u 4 know of ehom i m talikng...right......

Now, we decided to go to the Upper mall first, the motivation being- SUNSET POINT and LOVERS POINT.......nice part being that we walked throughout....and enjoyed each n every point......what to say...u can see these pic and imagine the feeling.......

Now, we moved towards our 2nd destination that was through lower mall....MANKI POINT.....they dont allow ne electronic gadge there.....so no pics,....:(
but the hanuman temple at that point was really nice dats why d name.....
enjoyed a lot there.........now returned and again the same experience of bus...mockry was that the locals are so used to these situation that were really enjoyin......while i was expressionless....
finally reached solan......it was about 6.30 pm.......went to cafe7, had our dinner......and finally returned back to college........
but....the important point to be noted........" These were the priceless moments for us all.....it was a both fun and adventurous trip......and wid frnds like niks, utti, koka and rishabh.....it added to the flavour....though we missed remaining exotians,,,but still enjoyed......."

---------------The End---------------------------

The Patient's Doctor: How do you market something which is free ?

The Patient's Doctor: How do you market something which is free ?

Express for ecstasy!!

Humans are social animals. No matter how fast the technology advances, giving us the facility to drop a line to other humans through our terminals to every nook and cranny of this planet, we will always require corporeal meetings.

Not only we require it, but we love it as well. We love to be with friends, to be in social jamborees, and to attend marriages. A joke cracked by a friend at a haunt is gazillion times better than the “best joke of the year” read over the web.

But as much as it is fun, it is challenge as well. To speak in public is not everyone’s cup of tea. Every one of us has felt these jitters. It’s an uphill undertaking to stand on the stage and speak in front of a teeming gathering. Neither is it easy to speak your heart out to your beloved.

If you talk to a professional, he will tell you dozens of tricks to overcome your problem of anxiety while in public. There are hundreds of books written on the same subject. All tell you the laws to abide by in case of such fretfulness.

But, I believe in incentives. Laws are always broken down. People don’t like to follow laws. If you want to make somebody do something, tell him the paybacks. Make him fall in love with the thing.

In case of public expressions the payback is the euphoria that one enjoys, the euphoria of taming your fear, the euphoria of pulling off inattention. You truly stop caring what other opinionate about you and you just listen to your heart, because, only now, you can. Now you have got inclusive control over your senses. They behave the way you demand, impervious of exogenous agents.

Above all, it increases your reach in the society, it makes you more social, and it makes you more human.

The power of assumption!!

This is where I study and subsist.

And this is what we are drinking these days.

This place is called Jaypee University of Information Technology. As the name suggests, it is a University for technical education. I am a hostler, which means that I have preferred mess food, hostel rooms and bathrooms and college internet connection over paranthas and Chickens, PG rooms with attached bathrooms and “24*7” internet connectivity.

I have never calculated my IQ but my intuition and experience tells me that it’s fairly high. To cut a long story short, I am certainly a human being with above average intelligence (The average word is a bit ambiguous and misleading in nature. While talking average, it is very important to note that what the samples whose average was taken were. In my case the samples were hand-picked from NASA Research and Mathematics department. ), and thus there is certainly a very strong and cogent rationale behind my preference.

My decision serves me well almost the entire year barring the time when there are heavy spells of rain. During heavy showers the rains bring a lot of silt along with them, and that silt gets mixed with water flowing in the rivulets amidst the hills. These rivulets are the principal founts of water to our university and nearby villages. The filters fail to filter the silt, which most of the times is very fine, and hence muddy water gushes through them.

Now, you may say, that why I did not see it coming instead of my astuteness. Why did I not opt for a quibble free option? The answer is simple! There was no such option available.

But, even if it had been available, I would have not opted for it, because then I would have overlooked the power of assumption.

Confused? – Let me explain!!

This whole incident has made me realize that assumption is the most potent, insidious and ubiquitous belief on this planet. Had it not been assumption, life would have been insipid. After all, the water that you see on the screen is nothing but a quintessence of reverberations of assumption. Assumption made the colorless water colorful.

More confused? – Let me explain further!!

It all started, when our founders assumed that there is plenty of water around, and hence decided against water harvesting. It rains here in profusion, but we can’t harvest rain water.

Then, they assumed that a conventional filter plant would work fine in these conditions, undermining the convolutions of mountainous topography.

They further assumed that conventional water purifiers will do the trick here, too. The supposedly decontaminated water does not even suit bathing purpose. Look at the picture for further vindication.

Even our parent assumed the exorbitant fees as a reassurance for at least basic necessities. Itnaa Paisa liya hai – Pani to peene layak aata hi hoga!

And on the top of that, the managing committee is perhaps assuming that this mess will fix itself. It’s been three years, and the status quo is still maintained.

It’s ironical, how these assumptions which scientists and mathematicians use to simplify complex problems have actually complicated things here. However, assumption itself is insufficient to describe this behavior. It is an intelligent and fancy word euphemistically used for shying away from responsibilities.

It becomes even more perilous when people start turning their blind eyes to grave issues which could decide the fate of humanity. Water crisis isn’t a pity parochial issue of our college. It’s pervasive. It’s omnipresent and so is the penchant to assume. We assume that water crisis will not affect us. Water harvesting measures are assumed as profligacy. Nobody wants to accept the reality, nobody wants to fight. It’s not about foreseeing anymore, now it is just about seeing – and acting.

GOD Who????

GOD Who?????

This statement might have aroused many questions in your mind .... well it definitely forces me to think twice about that someone who we call Almighty. This question or uncertainty had been a cause of debate for time immemorial. People worship God all around the globe in different forms and figures but still go on preaching about the oneness of God. I found all this highly amusing and mirthful.

They say God is in everyone of us, so why go and worship in the temples , mosques , churches and the gurudwaras , I say go and worship yourself and worship each and every living soul around you. Another famous saying goes like God is with those who are good and who does good , well I think it is all crap .. When I see around me and look at the people who are really suffering and enduring pain I really can’t find a single face who truly deserved to be punished or castigated and then I look at those people who really should have been in this situation but ironically those are the ones who are responsible for inflicting all this misery and wretchedness . Not only that they have managed to finagle out of this mess but guess what they have got every resource needed to enjoy the most beautiful gift of God i.e. life … So whose side is  God really on …. And still people talk about faith and believe and God and bla bla bla…….

Let me ask a very simple question to each and every single person out there who truly believe in God or have full faith over that special someone who is looking after all of us …… Have you seen God ???? When in today’s materialistic world when men is not even ready to believe in something he witness by his own eyes then how can one blindly follow something or someone whom you or nobody else have ever seen.. Really astonishing & stupefying to me……

Call me atheist or whatever but I have had experiences when my faith and trust was really badly dented & that I was time and again forced to ask this question “ GOD who ?? ” I once asked this question to someone very wise and experienced and rather than freaking out as most people do whenever I put my this particular query forward , she very gently told me that there is some power who is controlling and monitoring the smooth functioning of this panoptic and gigantic universe , and that power we know and worship as God …. Interesting isn’t it … Till date I have found that as the most reasonable and thought out answer …… But still I believe in having faith and belief in yourself or the people whom you can really trust rather than  blindly following someone and leaving everything to the faith …. Because GOD is in you so don’t go searching and wandering around because whatever you are looking for is right there where you haven’t cared to look even once………

Movies

It all started when Eadweard Muybridge under the sponsorship of Leland Stanford successfully filmed a horse named “Sallie Gardner”. That was nineteenth century and the year was 1878. The entertainment industry was on the cusp between live entertainment and recorded entertainment. In retrospect, one realizes that this minuscule event changed the course of drama centric entertainment.

Today, movies are the most congenial and preferred source of entertainment. I have got many friends who get cerebral paralysis, when are asked to conjecture anything except celluloid for entertainment. I often doubt that, perhaps, they are not cognitively evolved to think in any other direction. Their stereotypical, run of the mill idea of fun is certainly nauseating, but, more than that, it is thought provoking! It perhaps, manifests the alarming penetration of movies in our routine life.

Since our generation is abounding filmy freaks, the entertainment industry is leaving no stone unturned to make the most of this development by providing endless procurement of money making objects, euphemistically called as movies. The upsetting part of the story is that all kind of feature films cost the same to the end consumer. With bad movies significantly outnumbering the good movies, the end result is a pool of cinema epitomizing a lethal conundrum.

But, unfortunately this confusion is not palpable to many of us. We are quite pleased with our disparaging skills and deem ourselves intelligent enough to steer us out of this pool of anarchy. The truth is that, however, most of the times we fall for these ruses and end up with disappointments.

But, look at the brighter side! This clearly proves that we are a sanguine race. Even after watching some thousand self proclaimed comedies with few imbecile characters repeating the same godforsaken idiocies, our families fall for these cons masqueraded as family movies. Just some smart repackaging is enough to revitalize their enthusiasm and provoke them to go for the new bait.

Our love buds watch every damn love story hoping to learn tricks and trades of this arena.

The last trick learnt from the last movie fell flat on its face. The last movie was bullshit, the director knew nothing, but this movie seems very promising.

The DevDs hope to find the glimpse of their wretched and battered life in the movie. Movie after movie, weeks after week, they keep going to the same hall, same misplaced corner settle, anticipating unearthing the answer of “why she left?”

Oh Dear! If you take 13 movies to find one plain answer, any girl will leave you. It is your IQ, poor boy! And not only that girl, even, the director of the movie that, you are watching, knows it.

This is what the true problem is; the consumer doesn’t understand the game of which he is a part. If we think a little hard, we will realize that we were always fighting a lost battle. There is no way, one can figure out whether to watch a movie or not sans watching it. You can take reviews, but like often-said, every individual is different and thus one review doesn’t suit all. You may like a movie which your friend loathes.

Nonetheless, in this despondent and hopeless movie world, I see at least few shafts of light and those are the classics.

Every one of us has watched some cinema which we will remember forever, which left a mark on our heart and brain, and which transformed us. Have you ever wondered, what made that movie extraordinary? Why its impact was so emphatic that, a part of your persona still reflects it?

I presume that it’s the connection of the movie and the viewer.How well it connects and what effect does that connection bring.

If a feature film is able to grip the attention of the viewer for its entire length, then it is a good entertainer but, only if, it can impel you to consider about something that you have never deliberated, or if it can make you feel some emotion in a brighter and stronger manner, or if it can tinker your accepted wisdom and can take it to some unseen planet of thoughts, then the movie actually stands apart and becomes a classic.

If you have seen the recent masterpieces by Indian film industry like Taare Zameen Par and Rang De Basanti, you perhaps will better appreciate, what I am trying to put into words.

Bits-Here and There!!!

"Rahein"

Rahein banaya krte the hum,

Chalne se na darte the hum!!

na katon ka dar tha aur na phulun ka ehsaas

itne magan the apni rahon mai hum..

Zindagi kat jayegi inhi raho mai hamari..

Bus inka ehsaas bana rahe yhi tamanna hai hamari!!


"Pal"

ye pal,vo pal,

Is pal mai khushi hai,

Is pal mai hee gham hai,

Kya issi pal mai zindagi hai ya ye zindagi ka ek pal hai!!
