A Feathered Friend

QUESTION: Why did the chicken cross the road? KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: To get to the other side. PLATO: For the greater good. ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads. KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability. TIMOTHY LEARY: Because that's the only trip the establishment would let it take. SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it. JACK NICHOLSON: 'cause it f.....g wanted to. That's the f.....g reason. RONALD REAGAN: I forget. CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before. HIPPOCRATES: Because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas. ARTHUR ANDERSEN CONSULTANT: Deregulation of the chicken's side of the road was threatening its dominant market position. The chicken was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly competitive market. Andersen Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by…

Wro0o0o0o0Mmmmmm...…

I got my first bike, finally. The Bajaj Discover DTS-i 125cc (damn, i wanted more CCs :D) Its fun riding it, especially on the highway, where there are no speed breakers and potholes . Also after years of hard work, i finally managed to hack my first site 😀 No i aint a criminal , I do this just for warning people, that they should upgrade their work to some stable version or someone more dangerous than me may cause them trouble (I am a good boy 😃) Also the colleges have opened again, and i am a senior now 😀))

A Perfect Ending!

So as i thought, Italy beat France to become the World Champions! That was a perfect match, anyone could think for a World Cup Final! First, France got the lead, with the help of Zidane, only in the seventh minute of the game! but the Italians were not behind, they levelled the score just ten minutes later. On seeing the score 1-1 tied just after 17 minutes of the game, i thought its gonna be a high scoring match, but the remaining time was filled with attacking, defending, tackling, falling, bruising, (Some HeadButting...) but no goal was scored even in the extra time and another match was stretched to the penalty shoot-outs! Now, after seeing Zidane going out on using his head (as a missile, not for thinking!) it was almost a dreaded task for France to win, at that point of time, i was beginning to see Italy as the Champions then! And the same happened! Italians kept their cool and beat the French men 5-3 in penalties. Frankly I wasnt expecting that kind of behaviour by Zidane. This…

The Grand Finale

So France made it to the final, well they deserved it. Zidane played superbly, as usual, and thanks to Thierry Henry (and Referee) that he earned France a penalty kick and Zidane made no mistake! Now, France vs Italy in the FIFA World Cup 2006 Final, will France win or Italy, once again, will surprise us? We will see! Another interesting match will be playoff between Germany and Portugal, the clash for the third place, most people say that teams in the playoffs dont play upto the mark as they are already knocked out, it will be interesting to see, if it holds true...

Surprise,…

So, we see a lot of surprise results lately in the FIFA World Cup! First, Brazil, the biggest of them all, lost to France, thanx to Zidane. That is acceptable, but Portugal beating England is completely surprising, i mean dont they know how to kick the ball during penalty shoot-outs?? They missed 3 out of 5 penalty kicks, horrible! And now Italy beat Germany in the extra time! But in that match, Germany was ill fated, they got many chances which can be turned into goals but they missed out somewhere! Ballack and Klose almost got their team lead, but they just missed out, the Italian defense was great. Anyway, Lets see what happen in todays match - Portugal vs France. I wont be surprised if Portugal beats the French men, but my bet will be on France!

Firey Fare

Yesterday was a Bloody Monday in the history of Meerut, the city of Uttar Pradesh, where I live! If you are from India, you must be aware by now, what damage that fire has caused to the people!! A four day long consumer fare was being setup in the Victoria Park, situated in the centre of the city, yesterday was the last day, only two hours were left for the closing ceremony, then the disaster struck! A small spark caused by the short circuiting of the wires set the whole covering of the fare, which was made of the synthetic material, on fire! And just 5 minutes later, it was all over... Those who were lucky enough managed to escape, but the remaining ones were burnt to death! Although the official death toll is around 50 but more than 100 have been died and about 200 are still struggling for their life! Related Links:: BBC News Photos

Its been a while...

Yesterday night i saw the moon for the first time in four months, that was astonishing sight! I remember i saw it last time through the ambulance window on the night of 9th november... I forgot how it looked like, but that was a great sight when i saw it after a really long time, behind the clouds, coming and going... It surely didnt feel good lying in a room! Ah well... India is celebrating Holi today, so a very Happy Holi to all the Indians from me, i hope you enjoyed it a lot :) Oh and other info, if you have a blog, try registering it at BlogMania, that's my Blog Directory that i recently opened (still in need of some sites!) Hmmm I think that's all for today... Enjoy!

I cant be arsed

Here's an email i got yesterday evening... This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains so i decided to contact you through this medium .As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Rafiq Rehman , a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just…

Landed Successfully!

So the practical is over today (thankfully) and i am back home (safely) It was a mediocre day, nothing so hard was asked, just the regular one! The most tough part, the Viva...(heeee) Below is how it went... Xaminer(X)::So what have you prepared for the viva? REY(R)::Erm... ahem, well, nothing much, you know my leg have been broken, i cant study... X::Thats so dumb excuse, u can study lying on the bed... R::~blank~ X::Anyway, we'll begin. So what type of language is C? R::C is a programming language... X::Programming is fine, but under which category does it come? R::~blank~ X::Pah, what do you understand by main()? R::main() is the main function which is called in the program at the time of running. X::hmm... what are printf() and scanf()? R::Printf() is used to show an output to the user and scanf() is used to get the input from the user. X::Good. One last question, what do you understand by clrscr()? R::clrscr() function is used to clear the screen, every time main() function is…

Random Rantings!

I have talked about this before but cant help talking about it again! Its been a real long and boring day, with nothing much to do, except playing iForest, and watching TV (when there is no power failure!) Got the terrible news of Varanasi Blasts , those dickheads cant do anything except causing unstability in the country(i am not going into depth because i can not write like a professional). Read G's Writings Now what else can you do lying on a bed with a crushed leg! Bad thoughts come in your mind (that practical thingy haunts me) and i think how would i be able to walk again, after such a long time!!?? I remember those good old days when i was in school, we used to have a lot of fun, especially after class IX, but those days wont be back again! My grandmother and grandfather both passed away within 10 months, it happened after 1 month of me passing class XII. And i have just started going to college when the accident happened...!! You cant imagine whats about to happen with you…

The Greatest SOBs...

I always used to think that and now it has been confirmed! My College Authorities, especially H.O.D IT, are the greatest SOBs i have ever came across with! When I broke my leg, they said that they will manage with the exams, practicals and all those things (as it was their college bus which collided head on with a truck) and i dont have to go to college with a damaged leg! But i took the exams, as the leg showed some improvements, and now they want me to take practicals also! Those freakin' people want me to go all the way to the college, climb the stairs, go to the lab, make the fukin' programs and give the viva (the most horrible of them all) and that too when i cant even stand! Written paper was ok but practicals, no way..... I have decided that i will go there but wont do anything, I dont even give a damn about Exams, Practicals etc. Let them do what they want!!!

Flying Flu...

So finally, the most awaited (not really) Bird Flu reached India! India's first bird flu cases have been reported in Nandurbar and Dhule district in Maharashtra on Saturday. Yet, cases of Bird Flu have only been reported in Maharashtra and Gujarat states (its good that im far away from them, and it will take some time to reach here!!) 200,000 chickens have been culled so far and 50,000 died of their own, they suspect that the deadly bird flu virus, known as H5N1 virus have evaded India by the immigrating birds from far eastern countries! Anyway till it is sorted out, keep away from Tandoori Chicken...

The Real Team…

I need not mention, what happened yesterday, to those, who saw the yesterday match, but to those who were unlucky enough to miss it, let me tell them that, The monday was purely team India day!! A brilliant start by Irfan Pathan in the first over itself (that was the exact copy of 2nd match), and then the brilliant spells by RP singh and Sachin, though there were three catches dropped, all on the bowling of S.Sreesanth (poor chap) and a century by Shoaib Malik, lead Pakistan to a respected total! But what can they do with Sachin Tendulkar, who smashed 95 off 104 balls and built the foundation of the win! Tendulkar, dropped on 36 when Kamran Akmal failed to get a leg-side glance off Umar Gul, took India to 189 before cutting Abdul Razzaq straight to substitute Imran Frahat at point. Tendulkar hit 16 boundaries and a six during his 104-ball knock. But after two quick wickets of Sachin and Kaif, it was smell of danger somewhere, till MS Dhoni arrived! It was due to him and Yuvraj that…

Yeah this is in regards of that controversy which is been the headline of newspapers for a week now, i think... Today there was another twist in this matter!

Mission-I Completed!

So I am back home after taking the first exam... Well it wasnt that hard (due to my leg) as i was thinking, but wasnt too easy either! The task of going down the stairs was pretty easy (with some help ofcourse) but going up on them was a daunting task, even with some help! After reaching college they only allowed me to sit in the classroom before the time (and i now think that was a good opportunity to do some evilish things!!) The three hours went away very quickly even though i didnt write anything!! I know i merely would make it to the passing border! But hey atleast i made it to the objective! Now a lot of burden is been shed off of me...

Confusion...

My exams are gonna start from 7th and I dont know what to do... Especially this leg has given me a lot of problems, it has started paining since last night, i dont know why! Maybe the bone is broken again or whatever!! But the biggest challenge is to reach the college, err... its not the biggest challenge, infact, the more bigger challenge is to walk to the classroom (It would have been nice if I were in school yet...) Ah well, lets see what will happen!

The Lesson!

Here's an extract from A Book called "The Lessons" Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz, who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies, needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, Yes, I'll do it if it will save her... As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, Will I start to die right away? Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor, he thought he…

Ooh... They are…

Only 6 days remaining for the damn exams! and I am not studying at all! Only watching the match all day (i know nothing has left in it), after match sitting on the PC (with broken leg), and then again watching TV (WWE, sci-fi movies etc), and then my mobile and GPRS (till late night 1 or 2 a.m.) There should be marking system based on all around activities of the student, and exams should be killed... >;-P
