Music Maniac

Yeah for all my Music Maniac pals out there…….

i Got some kewl songs to chill out with.

So just say MUSIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It all went wrong…

yeah i know….one billion hopes sunk….INDIA out of the world cup…….cant help it i know!!!

But, i guess the way the so called “fans” reacted to India falling out to Bangladesh ( i wud love to remind that they had a SOUL wid them that day….of one of them who dies the day before the match , played extremely well and nothing should be taken away from them) and ydays disaster against SL ( who obviously had a better bowling attack….well after all WE beat them when there was no MURALI and VAAS, rite?). But i guess the terms against “TEAM INDIA” was not all that right either. You just cant reprimand them, after two such petty losses. Face it mannnnnnnn…..they are not super humans…..to be delivering at all instances….Sachin Tendulkar, for instance, he aint the one he was 15 years ago…..lest say 4 years ago. Why should he face the brunt? You just cant write his past records off in a whisker for he too can go through a lean patch ( and this time it was at the wrong time, and this should nt make a Mr. Mohinder Amarnath ask him take retirement, i know he too was a great player, atleast they say so, and having played so much cricket he should ve known that its a game of dire uncertanities, which i now presume he doesnt). Sane former cricketers like Sunil Gavaskar , who for instance doesnt hold Dravid solely responsible for this fiasco, i see is the only other person ( to Rajsingh Dungarpur).

But again, one billion people have one billion different perspectives towards this game and i know, one billion people will have one billion different things to say, but i guess where it all went wrong was right here. To begin wid, the ICC i guess, the contract to telecast given to a MOVIE SHOWING CHANNEL, wch everyone can make out would ve spent gallons of money ;) to get the telecast the rights, and rightfully is showing us more advertisement than world cup cricket. The ball need not even reach the b oundary or the umpire dint even raise his finger ( after an appeal that is) that these ads start , leave alone the urge to listen to what the commentators are saying ( nice team of those i should agree ).

Everyone here is a selector of his own, everyone thinks he knows better ( or could ve done better) in situations we only see ( or havent experienced). No one is ever ready to take the fact or the truth as it is. I know one billion sounds a lot, so how much should be the weight of one billion hopes, and if its not your day its not your day, thats it….as simple as that. Cricket has been the single largest RELIGION in our country, and i guess it will still continue to be. Gods will change, i am sure of that too, but it will take time ( doesnt mean the now gods should turn foes, its just that people get narrowminded ). Nevermind…..i know i will have to listen to a lot for my thoughts, so i m venting them out here……and yeah one last thing….”hooh haaah India”…..this chant aint lucky for us mann…it all went wrong right here.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 refers to a second generation of services available on the world wide web that allow people to collaborate and share information online. Unlike the traditional static web pages of the first  generation, Web 2.0 gives users an experience akin to desktop applications. Web 2.0 applications often use a combination of techniques devise in the late 1990s, including public web service APIs, Ajax, and the web syndication. They often allow for mass participation (web-based social software). The concept may include blogs and wikis. Web 2.0 was originally created as a marketing phrase. O’Reilly Media and MediaLive International popularized the term as a series of web development conferences that started in October 2004. CMP Media, which purchased MediaLive, claims the term as a service mark for live events, reserving exclusive use of the term for its own conferences. Read  more on Web 2.0 . You can also see this.

Learn to say NO!!!!!!!

Saying NO to your friends can be very hard sometimes (you kidding me,all the times!!!! ;) ). You may be afraid of yourself at that point for the very thought that ” what will they think of me ” comes to your mind and then it goes wandering ” what if i don’t get along with them very well because of this“. This can cause a catastrophic change in your behaviour, and at times your attitude towards people and situations.

Hmmn…..may b i might have faced such situations…….but i guess here is how i did it….i mean said a NO and still stayed COOL:

  1. Try telling them that its bad…( i know they wud nt give a shitttttt).
  2. Say what can be the possible consequences ( like they care!!!).
  3. Suggest something else to do instead ( you gotta be kidding me mannnnn).
  4. But if your friends insist of doing it anyways, just leave. And yeah leave the door open for them so that eventually they can join you (never happened wid me so far…still trying hard though, for this miracle to happen).

And yeah, you can actually plan a bit in advance, of the things that you might end up doing or ought to do in such circumstances. You might even think of the possible outcomes or problems and device a plan so as for you to be easily able to handle the situation ( Alas!!!! i am not gud at it, but then now i feel i am better equipped). :)

Mobile Virus

Were’nt mobile fones invented so that people could talk to one another while on the move? Atleast i though so. But the plethora of mobile fones that we see today, i will not wonder if they replace music players, digital cameras, Identity Badges, alarm clocks, newspapers and what not…..kinda tough to imagine (esp when ur supposed to be sitting and working in you office ;) )

So all you guys with Bluetooth enabled mobs out there…….u ought to know what a mobile virun can do. Well a mobile virus is just like a computer virus, in short a malicious software. What it actually does is , once it is in your mobile, it will try and send fake MMS messages to people in your list, and by GOD they aint free mannnnn …..so u r charged for doing something that you actually arent (what i actually mean is you are paying to send a virus to your friend hehehehehehehhee :D ). These virus can actually pick up headers from previous messages from your frends and make you believe that it actually is a message from a friend and once u open the application…..you are dooooomed !!!!! They actually cause lot more trouble than financial loss :) . The virus can actually with  the files present in you mobile and can even delete the contact and calender entries, and also download more malicious junk.

So here s what you should do….( shud nt do actually ): Enable your Bluetooth ONLY when you need it,learn to say NO to something that you receive which you actually aint intended to, NEVER accept an unknown file or application like games and ringtones and never install any application you are not sure of.  But clever VIRUS WRITERs  disguise these things in such a manner that we are foxed into taking the virus as a desirable application. SO….keep your eyes open….

Blogger at(tention)

What do i mean by this heading above? Well i guess i can only try to explain you with all my might (and especially widout my expressions) what it feels like to blog when you are all tensed up, just an hour before your technical presentation to your team :)  . With your teammates and your manager in foresight, and all the other poeple who are gonna throw questions at you, questions that you only hope you can answer (else….there s gonna be a frown and a stare only…yeah from you), with a hungry stomach making all sorts of noises for you do not have the habbit of having your breakfast ( as most BITSians do…so an advice to you all u guys out there….change this habbit as soon as you can for it can land you up in some trouble), the ast thing you can think to do at this point of time is “Blog”.

While many would prefer referring to the slides that they have prepared for the presentation or goin through the documents involved agian, ask themselves possible questions that might pop up, and get all the more tensed up, me on the other hand am trying hard to take my mind off that catastrophic even thats gonna follow and here i am …posting. And believe me for the past 10-15 min, even i was oding what other would ve done(as i sd above), and was biting my nails……but not now…….may b even you shud try this……

hey another Disclaimer: It is evident that you are gonna get loads of work at office and little breaks….but loads of time enough for you to blog…..whoaaa mannnnnnnnnnn…… doesnt happen at my office ;)
