what is happening?

remember the movie "Rang de basanti"? saw how a few youngsters killed an MP for wat happened to their friend? m not suggestin v do the same but thts d kind of radical thinking tht we require!!! wat is happenin to India? is this wat our leaders envisioned many decades ago? srsly?

the terrorist attack on mumbai was somethin tht is not goin to b taken lightly. no one has any right to kill anyone. terrorists claim its all for the good of the world. killin im sure doesnt bring any one any sort of good. the disaster tht struck our city was somethin im sure v as indians cannot stand by and take lightly. 

somethin has to b done. n fast. 

a lil kid told me this (courtesy television) :-

wen u stand for wat u believe in, u can change the world.

n it makes a whole world of sense.

pls pray for all those who died tryin to protect others who they had prolly neva met b4. those heroes deserve to live on in our memories. 

its time.

A woman's 4 Favorite Animals

1. A Mink: to provide a beautiful coat.

2. A Jaguar: to reside in her garage.

3. A Tiger: to keep her happy in the bedroom.

4. A Jackass: to pay for all the above.

Adventures Away!

In a train compartment, there are 3 men and a ravishing young girl. The four passengers join in conversation, which very soon turns to the erotic. 

Then, the young girl proposes, "If each of you will give me $1.00, I will show you my legs." The men, charmed by this young girl, all pull a buck out of their wallet. 

And then the girl pulls us her dress a bit to show her legs. 

Then she says, "If each of you gentlemen will give me $10.00, I'll show you my thighs," and men being what they are, they all pull out a ten dollar bill. The girl pulls up her dress all the way to her legs
in full.

Conversation continues, and the men, a bit excited, have all taken off their coats. 

Then the young girl says, "If you will give me $100, I will show you where I was operated on for appendicitis." 

All three fork over the money. The girl then turned to the window and points outside at a building they're passing. "See there in the distance. That's the hospital where I had it done!"

Car Trouble

My wife came home yesterday and said, "Honey, the car won't start, but I know what the problem is." I asked her what it was and she told me it has water in the carburetor.

I thought for a moment, then said, "You know I don't mean this badly, but you don't know the carburetor from the accelerator."

"No, there's definitely water in the carburetor" she insisted.

"OK, Honey, that's fine, I'll just go take a look. Where is it?"

"In the lake."

Checkup from the Neck Up

Three elderly men are at the doctor for a memory test. The doctor says to the first man, "What is three times three?"
"274," was his reply.

The doctor says to the second man, "It's your turn. What is three times three?" 

"Tuesday," replies the second man.

The doctor says to the third man, "Okay, your turn. What's three times three?" 

"Nine," says the third man. "That's great!" says the doctor. "How did you get that?"

"Simple," says the third man. "I subtracted 274 from Tuesday."

Vikram seth wrote this piece of poetry, back a decade. Its about a person who has been infected with HIV virus, that is he is suffering from AIDS. He can almost look at his dead end approaching. The poem is in first person. Enjoy... and yes, the last four lines are my favourites.

soon



I shall die soon, I know
This thing in my blood.
It will not let me go.
It saps my cell for food.

It soaks my night in sweat
n breaks my day in pain
No hand or drug can treat
these limbs for love or gain.

Love was the strange first cause
that bred grief in its seed,
And gain knew its own laws-
to fix ts plce and breed.

He whom I love, thank god.
Wont speak of hope or cure.
It would not do me good.
He sees that I am sure.

He knows what I have read
And will not bring me lies.
He sees that I am dead.
I read it in his eyes.

How am I to go on-
How will I bear this taste,
My throat cased in white
spawn-these hands that shake
and waste?

Stay by my steel ward bed
And hold me where I lie.
Love me when I am dead
And do not let me die.

www.neave.com

Its an awesome site, and more importantly different. Try the imagination section there. Somewhere in there you find this ...

"// Do you have any tips?

Turn the computer off and go outside. Go hang with your friends. Make lots of new friends. Count your blessings. Smile like an idiot. Don't think too much. Don't worry about the future. Don't take life too seriously. Don't pay attention to a word I say."

Go there !!! Its atleast better than this blog post !

Go Go GO !!!!

9 things i hate abt ppl!

1. People who point at their wrist asking for the time... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their a** to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn Right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

5. When people say while watching a film, "did ya see that?" No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor!

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"... Didn't give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell??? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!!! What can you do thats longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?" If the bus came, would I be standing here???

Now thts Spontaenity!!!

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange:

Officer: May I see your driver's license?
Driver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.

Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?
Driver: It's not my car. I stole it.

Officer: The car is stolen?
Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.

Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?
Driver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.

Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?
Driver: Yes, sir.

Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation:

Captain: Sir, can I see your license?
Driver: Sure. Here it is.

It was valid.

Captain: Who's car is this?
Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the owner's card.

The driver owned the car.

Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?
Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it.

Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.

Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it.
Driver: No problem.

Trunk is opened; no body.

Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.

Driver: Yeah, I'll bet the lying s.o.b. told you I was speeding, too!

An Article To Think Over

Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day.
Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course?
Each of us has such a bank. It's name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose.
It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow."
You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!
The clock is running!! Make the most of today.

To realise the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.

To realise the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

To realise the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realise the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realise the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who just missed a train.

To realise the value of ONE SECOND, ask someone who just avoided an accident.

To realise the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal at the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with. And remember time waits for no one.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present.

Impossible to Please

A group of girlfriends is on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads: "For Women Only." Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in.

The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside."

So they start going up and on the first floor the sign reads: "All the men on this floor are short and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.

The sign on the second floor reads: "All the men here are short and handsome." Still, this isn't good enough, so the friends continue on up.

They reach the third floor and the sign reads: "All the men here are tall and plain."

They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continued on up.

On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect: "All the men here are tall and handsome." The women get all excited and are going in when they realize that there is still one floor left. Wondering what they are missing, they head on up to the fifth floor.

There they find a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman."

QUESTIONS

Came across these on the net......okay, all of it won't apply on you, but you may read on.....






Five questions no man wants to hear in the first three months (whether he is crazy about you or not!).


Where do we stand?
The Reason: It makes you look desperate. Men love a challenge and despite what they say, think, or how they act, they don’t want you to define the relationship. Let him take the lead now or he never will.

Do you ever think about your ex-girlfriend?
The Reason: This shows a man that you are not secure with yourself. Even on those days that your zit is huge, your clothes are too snug, and your hair is filled with frizz; you must act like a “Bond Girl.” It is the difference between making a man fall in like or in love.

Do you want to have kids?
The Reason: Again, it’s about control. The man wants to take the lead. Let him coo-coo over the baby in the grocery store. You will have plenty of time to let him know that you have already named your three future children. Take the first three months to let him say the D-word (Daddy) first.

Am I fat?
The Reason: If he didn’t like they way you looked, he would not have dated you: bottom line! Don’t point out your flaws to him or give him a reason to find any imperfections. To him you are timeless and flawless; make sure you stay that way.

Does your mother like me? (even worse, can I meet your parents?)
The Reason: His mother is the other woman in his life. Let him decide when it is the right time for you to meet her. He may want to make sure she is ready to meet you. You are the woman who may take her little boy away from her. This is a big step; let him take it at his pace.

HOLLAND OUT!!!

6 HAPPENIN WEBSITES

Hi, here i am recommending 6 of the sites i have found incredibly useful.Okay, the biggies arent here because everyone has heard of google, orkut and youtube. Heres the list with a short description. Most of them are for different type of people, so they aren't ranked in the order...


#1. You like downloading softwares, freewares and/or paid s/w. This is internets' one of the largest s/w depositories. Best of all, the site is very neat. You have the s/w categorised as : windows, games, drivers, handheld, scripts, mac, linux, mobile and news (phew!).

Head to www.softpedia.com



#2. You arent crazy for those tonnes of softwares, but yes ! you need reviews about the s/w. This is a site every geek worth his salt has been to.

Join the cult, head to www.majorgeeks.com



#3. You have a subtle sense of creativity and are amused by childish innocence and are bored by those harleys and ferraries on your desktop. You need something soothing.

Dont think twice click here, www.vladstudio.com



#4. You have that scientific edge and like to be updated about the latest progresses in technology, social lives and politics. You have wondered what exactly is a blue ray disc and a HD-DVD... Which is the worst way to die ? How nailguns work ?
Will a flame-thrower work in water ? What was the fact behind 9/11 ? How much time will one take to die if exposed in outer space ? and so on........

Everyone needs to go atleast once to www.howstuffworks.com



#5. You're cursing your computer because it has hung up again. You dont know what to do if 'config.dll' is missing. Youre ipod is skipping songs. Top 10 tweaks for windows vista. Or any specific problem, like configuring your HP deskjet 340 printer.
The site has got exhaustive resources. And i mean exhaustive. Any computer woes ?

Lookup www.zolved.com



#6. You are in a hurry and you need to log in into some site, say for downloading stuff, or for that matter viewing a video or looking for any chunk of data. You are too much freaked out at that point of time to register and give ur email ID , name and 15 such entries. Moreover say you dont want to give ur E-ID for security reasons.
Or if you need to use an ID just once, ie. disposable email ID.

The end of your troubles is at www.bugmenot.com ( Kneel before the site and thank it for saving your brain from getting a migrane !)

HILARIOUS!!!

click on d pics n take a closer look!!!

INVISIBLE FOLDER

You ever have a folder on your computer that you really dont want any one to find? You can make this folder hidden but then you have to un-hide all the folders when ever you want to find it. So how can you make a folder truly invisible? Follow these simple steps and your unmentionables will stay that way.

1. Right click where ever you want the invisible folder to be and select create a new folder.

2. Right Click on the folder and hit rename. Erase the name of the folder so there is nothing there.

3. If you try to stop here windows will tell you that you need to provide a name. So to get around this… with the name field still active hold down ALT and press 0160 on the number pad (make sure Num Lock is on), release alt

You should now have a blank name with nothing but a folder next to it

Now click on the nameless folder and right click. Select Properties.



4. Go to the Customize tab.













5. Find and press the Change Icon button. Scroll through the icons until you find one that has no image.













There u go !!! Enjoy. But be careful... most of the geek community knows it.


P.S : In case you are wondering how it works, by pressing Alt+0160 , you are actually assigning the name as space. Its a cool way to rename your My Computer icon . You just have the icon ... No name !!!

SERIOUS ASS KICKIN!!!

looks like france n italy r no gos for dis euro. after italy just managin to keep themselves in by a whisker it looks like d 2006 world champs r gonna find it really hard to get thru. n france.

A Small Poem

STARLIGHT

Look up in the night sky

What is it that you see?

So many stars shining above

Who knew among which were you and me,

Such great distances apart

Empowered with magnificent light

We guide the lone traveler

Who walks in the dark night,

With so many miles left to go

The traveler goes weak

But with every step that he takes

He nears his dream,

One more step to go!

Oh, how happy he must be!

‘Coz if he didn’t feel so

Ours souls wouldn’t be free,

Now the traveler is delighted

Now the traveler is free

Now it’s goodbye from us

As the sun’s rising above the sea,

Then again another night

Comes along a new traveler

Waiting to be united with his route

Which we provide together.

----- The end ----
