uncle main pichle do hafte mein char baar aa chuka hoon, aap har baar bolte hain ki aaj ho jayega?
lekin aaj tak mere ghar ka electricity meter change karne koi nahi aaya !
"Achcha ! ho jayega beta, main aaj hi karwata hoon.", that middle aged fellow (raavan ki nalayak aaulad !!), says in a very sweet voice. But no, this time I'm not gonna go unless and until he sends someone with me rightaway to get it done.
This is india. If you want to get your domestic electricity meter changed because its not working(i.e. reading is constant), you are the one who has to take the pains to get it done !
No, I'm not that interested in paying more money to electricity board but they will loot me by giving big bills if I don't go and tell them that the electricity meter is not working.
Their meter readers don't notice it when they come to take readings. And if you go tell them about why did you get so much charge in the bill? They have simple answer, sir, your meter is not working, so we have given your bill based on past averages (which seems like the average of squares of bill amounts!).
The first time you go there, they ask you to submit a xerox of your bill for address (oh great! I'm a subscriber and they don't even know my address!). The second time, they actually misplace it 'by mistake', so you give them one more xerox. And still there is no result !
But then finally I go and talk to my neighbour who also works in elec. board, but at a different sub station. And now I actually understand the real reason, when he tells that they take some 200 rs. or more for getting this thing done. so he suggests me, you try to get it done tomm. this way or else give me the money and I'll get the work done(no, atleast I've that much trust on him that he's not gonna eat my money).
So, I went again and gave my last chance on getting work done in a government office of India, without giving bribe. And whoa !!
hard work always pays...!!
I guess that officer(or I must call him just a govt. employee) was finally guilty when I went there for three consecutive days and he then ordered his subordinate to go with me and change the meter immediately.
I just guess, what was wrong in sending him two weeks before itself on my first complaint !
That would atleast have increased my respect for the electricity board.
"positive thinking" - yea, there is still some hope to get your work done in government offices without giving bribe, provided you are prepared to work hard for it! (Its a pity that many of us choose the previous one just for the sake of little comfort.)
Just realised that I'm writing this post on the eve of Gandhi jayanti !
Bapu, janamdin mubarak ho :-)
Gandhigiri roxx!

tiger is free but is the dragon?
So much has been hyped about the
As most of the researches have shown that, growing like as they are in present, china will overtake US to bag the first position and India the second. But hey!!
I don't bother about that. Tell me what is the sense of being rich and prosperous but still not having the freedom to express yourself?
No I’m not talking about Airtel! But what I’m pointing to is the difference in the governments. While
And come to
I'm proud of the freedom that I have over a Chinese who's richer than me, what’s life when you can't even say openly about your own country !
I just guess what would have happened to M.F. hussain if he was born in
guys...!! help me...
so many maals in NITT campus... omg..!! help me !!
i guess this is one thing which seriously made festember worth a FEST to remEMBER.. hehehe.. ;-)
its time when i've seen more gals than cows in our campus...
this edition of festember ... as expected, was truly remarkable. May it be Radio Jockeying or pottery or theatre workshop or the pronite by KK.. everything jus made it better. On the top of that all was food.. CCD stall in the our campus... though they dont have it in trichy, having it in festember I'm sure those CCD guys must have made big money out of it.
And yea how can i forget doing catwalk like a gal on the airtel informals stage. Its a different matter that the guy said that i turned it a lil vulgar... well now dont ask me what women ramp walk is all about... ! :-D
Informals kept janta busy throughout the day and now i guess no one is gonna yell out that festember's chaat. And those who went home thinking that have missed some great moments of their college life. Who's gonna have this all after college?
This is one of those times i feel like ... yea, there MANY other things apart from placements that make this college better than others.
But there's only one thing that i'm afraid about now, how many of these engineering students will actually take up engineering as their career?
I see more painters, dancers, musicians, actors and writers here than technologists!

festember'07
September is here again and so is the annual cult fest of NIT trichy. Festember is one of the biggest cult fest of south India and this year its going to be just better. With a pronite by Kaykay and semi pro Rock contest the fest already seems attractive, but for all those who ever wished if they too could try their hands on RJ-ing.. the workshop on Radio Jockeying is like a dream come true. Apart from this there are workshops on origami, caricature, theatre etc. and loads of lits and cult events.
20-23 september is the time when its all gonna happen... So just be there and enjoy... read the offical blog and check the festember website for more details.

improve your pics
are you also sick of editing your photos , either in picasa or photoshop or some other photo editing software.. ? which takes too much time and is always confusing, like which effect is better, contrast, brightness... etc.
Well, then try this website improveimages.com . Its really nice..
all you've to do is just upload your photo and it will take care of the rest. It will make your photo look much better.. putting in some effects.. and adjusting lightning conditions and all.. you dont have to worry about all that..
the best part is that you dont need to download any software or something..
you can do it just online... with a single click...!!
ofcourse there is an option in picasa to adjust all these things automatically , but personally, i was never satisfied with what it did.. it instead spoiled most of my pics...
So, i think this one is worth a try...

Thursday
my new spects (or gogs..?)
while everyone around is commenting on my new spects... some saying that its cool... some say r they gogs???
some say its funky!, others say... man, i think ur previous ones were better... and the rest say its jus not the right place to wear them...
the best one was by my cousin.... who said.. bhaiya u look like Mr. Bean in this spects... !!!
wat????? - i said.... :-S
Even my professor said - so, bhuvan gupta... wat happened to ur spects?? oh... u got new ? yes sir, i said...
humm.... they look pretty different with those black stripes on white... he said giving weird reaction... like still confused if they r spects or gogs??
i was just about to say... "sir, its fashion.." but thought its better i dont mention it.. and somehow stopped myself...
Finally i'm all confused about how do they look on me....
but one thing is sure.. that i'm in no mood to change them at least for this semester....
so better i should jus take these comments to help me take something better than this next time...
but the more important thing is nobody asks me why did i take them...
so here i'm to Xpress myself... :-)
wat i would like to say is...
that this..!! yea these spects are the ones purely my choice...
i went to the shop alone.. found some gr8 spects... shopkeeper said.. take this one red n black... its In Fashion.... I said no this is wat everyone is wearing so i'll better go for this black and white one... first of all they look very different.. yea.. ofcourse i accept they're a bit funky... but the reason i bought them is they get the attention... :-D
never did i get so many comments on anything i wear or anything about me...
so i'm just happy that atleast they made me noticable... :-D
Friday
are you listening Mr. HRD minister??
Thank god.. that obc quota is put on hold at least for one yr... a relief to all the talented aspirants of IITs , IIMs , and other govt. colleges..
but while everyone is concerned abt quota based on classes...
i want to highlight some other important quotas in some of the top institutes of our country...
as most of you might be knowing about AIEEE, all India engg. entrance exam... for admission to National institutes of Technology( NITs) and other deemed universities..
well i'm not here to comment abt that exam.. sure its a very good and reputed exam..
but what i'm trying to focus here is on the admission process that is followed after the exam..
Anyways before that i must tell u about the results of the exam ... every selected candidate is given an all - India rank(AIR) and a state rank... (ur standing in ur state)
while the private colleges and institutes like IIITs (including hyderabad, allahabad etc.) give admission on the all India rank basis...
All the NITs give admission on the basis of state ranks (SR)...
well... u may ask, so wats the big deal..
but there is a problem..
actually in these NITs there is a quota for every state like particular no. of seats in specific branch for a particular state..
50% of the total seats are reserved for the state in which that NIT is located and rest 50% is divided among rest of the states..
and here comes the difference... while a student in andhra pradesh of an AIR under 100 will have an SR of around 40 or more... and rajasthan just close to that...
a candidate from other state may have a SR under 10 at the same AIR !! (if u still can't get my point ... don't worry... continue reading..)
And the bigger problem is as ofcourse all the NITs are not of equal status ,some are of course much better than others and which aspirant would like to join...
but because of this state quota system .. he may not be able to..
to show you an example..
if u look at the statistics of yr. 2006..
the opening and closing rank for Andhra Pradesh for comp. sci. engg. in NIT trichy was AIR - 127... (only one seat for AP in comp. sci. engg.)
for delhi it was AIR - 2235...
for Tamilnadu (the state where NIT trichy is located) had an opening rank of AIR 1406 and closing rank of "AIR 7721" !!!
check it on here.
the same trend follows for other branches too..!!
now just tell me how fair is that to give admission to a student in TN at an AIR of 7000+ and NOT to a student at the same AIR from other state...!!!
while he perfectly deserves admission in a better college (which may not be located in his state)... because he performed better in the AIEEE....
his only mistake is that he did his 12th from (or he is born in) AP or rajasthan or some other state and he has to pay for it!!
will anyone come answer me for that..?
even if u support caste based quota ... then i must tell u that this is the trend in the same category (general)... the only difference is state...!!
The trend is following since these colleges had the REC (regional engg. college) status...
what i think is while converting RECs to NITs Mr. Murali manohar joshi (ex-HRD minister) might have thought of changing this state quota system in near future as his next step towards making admission process to engineering colleges easy for aspiring students...
but the present scenario is not at all going that way..
with the changed govt. and our very GREAT Mr. Arjun Singh... i have no hope to see any correction in this procedure...
i just wish if i had the right to vote for HRD minister... but unfortunately he's not from my constituency...!

Saturday
helping future engineers..
getting 2828 all india rank in AIEEE was nice a achievement for me....
but the bigger problem was next...
wch college and branch to choose... ?? which of them can i get at this rank and which of them would be best for me..??
If u ask any senior "wch college n branch shud i take?" .... U are most likely to get the reply ... dude.. look, it totally depends on wht u r interested in ...
well thats very true... but man.. a guy at this stage doesnt exactly know about wht he is intrested in..(atleast i dint) the most he can be sure about is wch subject he is intrested in ... phy. or chem. or maths... but not specifically... elecronics, electrical, mechanical, civil or metallurgy...
even if u are sure about ur branch of interest.. u still are confused about college..
i remember my case... when i called up my coaching sir from the councelling hall for which branch and college is better than which one.....
If u look at the magazine ratings... they vary largely from india today to dataquest...
(i was shocked to see BITS ranchi placed above some IITs and BITS pilani out of the top ten in rankings of year 2005)
None of them being reliable enough...
Now this JAM magazine editor is doing a survey of all the engg. colleges... with the help of feedback given by students themselves....
which i hope will come up with some, infact a big help to those bright minds... and save them frm losing wht they deserve just becoz of some "commercial" magazine rankings and lack of proper information...
if u can help in the survey pls visit...

Wednesday
"please dont ignore this"... FFMs
Some of the most Frequently Forwarded Mails (FFMs) / SMS : -
incident one : -
"HEY ITS DIANNA, FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ORKUT,EVERYBODY SORRY FOR THEINTERRUPTION BUT ORKUT IS CLOSING THE SYSTEM DOWN BECAUSE TOO MANYBOTTERS ARE TAKING UP ALL THE NAMES, WE ONLY HAVE 57 NAMES LEFT, IF YOUWOULD LIKE TO CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT, DONT SEND THIS MESSAGE, IF YOU WANTTOKEEP YOUR ACCOUNT ,SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST. THIS ISNOT A JOKE, YOU'LL BE SORRY IF YOU DONT SEND IT. THANKS DIRECTOR OFORKUT, TIM BUISKI. WHOEVER DOESNT SEND THIS MESSAGE, YOUR ACCOUNT WILLBEDEACTIVATED AND IT WILL COST YOU $ 10.00 A MONTH TO USE IT...
(some of them have ppl giving practical experiences of their friends' accounts being closed for disobeying this bull shit....)
incident 2 - some divya singh is requesting you to fwd this msg so that she may get money from yahoo, orkut , etc. etc. for some disease operation worth lakhs......
incident 3 - some IIT guy is suffering from a so called once in a million disease and so pls pass on the msg... so that he may get money..... blah blah blah...
incident 4 - Jai ganeshay namah..,,(or watever).... i get this msg when i wake up.. and it says.. fwd it for ur gud luck... and some go to the extent ... if u wont ... u will hav a badluck for next one year or so...
incident 5 (comparatively sensible but still non-sense....) - one girl named christie is suffering from some disease ... she urgently needs B positive blood .... pls help by fwding this msg... (most of them dont have any contact no.)....
incident 6 - friendship is the best thing in the world... (oh !! is it?? i din knew !!! thanx for telling me...) and if u dont fwd u r not my friend... !!
gr8... the best thing in the world now depends on whether i pass this non-sense to others or not...
incident 8 - the most recent one..
hi!! am rashmi... my no. is ********* (sorry i dont remember the no... ) m a blind gal ... for my operation i need some lakhs and airtel has agreed to pay me 10 ps. everytime this sms is sent... so pls help me...
(i got this fwd from some 4-5 guys... and they ppl jus blindly fwded without even checking if this no. even exists or not...)...
P.S. - Airtel gives free local sms service in my circle (T.N.)... so in other words if this sms is fwded... firstly airtel will be increasing the load on its SMS servers... and secondly they will be bearing a loss as the sms is free... so effectively... airtel will have to spend lets say.. some 20 ps. just for giving 10 paise to this blind girl...(who doesnt even exist)... good isnt it?? i din knew airtel guys were this intelligent ....!!!!
STOPPPPPP!!!!!!!!
R we all idiots???
dont we have common sense (wch is supposed to be uncommon anyways) ??
do we ever think even once before fwding some msg.. or just pass it on blindly... and jus pass on the burden of bad luck to the next person...
Although many of us understand its not true... then also to be on the safer side we jus get the load off ourselves... not thinking that we are not jus keeping ourselves on safer side... but instead putting our friend in jeopardy... if the next guy believes too much in god... then he definitely cant ignore this msg... and dats how the story continues...
Its been since the very next day i bought a cell... i received this ganeshji's msg.. to fwd it to 10 ppl and have a good week... The very after i got email account i had some of my best friends sending this "pass if u are my friend " msg.. (oops.... i din fwd... but hey! he's still my friend... gr8??!!! hey.. but i wont tell this to him.. or else he'll break the friendship for not fwding that msg... ... wat chaat !!!! )...
anyways do u really think he will brk the frndship.... ??!!!
even i know he wont and so does he... but then why ?!!! why are we becoming slaves?? slaves of someone whom we dont even know... who would have started this all idotic crap...
I am not against those msgs showing importance of friendship but dude.. wats the need of ending that "if u dont... then u'll have badluck" word in the end...
Guys i am using orkut since past two years.. and i havent fwded that msg "if u dont send this to all ur contacts in ONE WEEK ur account will be deleted from orkut... " whoa... is it that i jus managed to fool the orkut guys.. or they dint notice me.. or wateva...
but have u ever thought wat max. can happen if i dont fwd that msg... GOOGLE wch has the largest storage space in the world... will delete ur account jus because of sudden rush on orkut.. whereas on the other hand they are still spending millions on the publicity of orkut ... so that they may get new users... amazing...!!!
and SUPPOSE (i know its not possible but still for ur satisfaction)... if they delete my account on orkut... and tell me to pay some $10 per month for using it...
why will they provide it to you free ...?? oh ... jus becoz u fwded their msg.. wch told about some bad policy of their company (if they wud have got any marketing skills ... they will better not give DHAMKI to their customers... )... cool... and more... if they wont provide it free.. do u think... how many of ur frends u think will remain there on orkut... i guess not even 5% will be ready to pay that price... in other words none of ur frends will be thr on orkut anymore.. then... wat da hell r u gonna do thr man??
And if u still have any doubt pls go and check this orkut - help page... wch clearly says.. they are not doing any such thing and this is just a rumour.. !!!!
http://www.orkut.com/News.aspx
if google , yahoo etc. etc. had to give money for charity.. dont u think they wud have better started some organization for that.. or gave it to some already active social organisation and made a huge publicity stunt sort of thing.... as nothing gets your image better than doing charity... (look at our filmstars... )
wats most common in all these msgs is that they will try to use ur emotions and sentiments... wch is the weakest (for us) and say the best target for them....
The Most recent was when i got an sms saying some final year of our college needs this blood group... the msg had tel. no. of hospital in which it claimed, he was admitted... i got it and as it sounded sensible i fwded it to all mah frends... then there were calls coming to me from students having the same blood group... they told me there was no one in that hospital ... they had called up thr...
so they were inquiring me... so i thought of a good way to get to that person.. i passed the contact no. of guy who had this blood group and wanted to donate blood back to whr i got the msg from.. so that msg could trace back to whr it all started... But the next day i found... it was all crap ... no final yr. student of our college was admitted...
Isnt that disgusting.. ppl jus make some crap msg for fun... and they dont even think of the troubles others might have..
Not just this... i also get this daily dose of all frends from orkut sending me some JHOOS invitation.. or somebody "TAGGING" me.... i havent clicked on any of them yet.. .but dear frends if u also receive any msg like dat frm me.. then understand that the website was able to fool me and get my orkut friend list ... and then carry on their dirty ways of publicity...
PPL pls use ur brains before fwding any msg like that... otherwise that 2yr. old girl suffering from some terrible cancer... (since 1996 .... and still she's two...)... will continue to be in ur inbox.. from here or there... unless she's becomes an old lady who again needs money for some terrible operation and yahoo, msn will agree to pay.....
And for all those "dharmik" ppl... i dont think ganeshji will do me any bad if i dont fwd that sms... and if they do... then i would rather choose not to believe in god...
because i dont wanna fwd that msg to my buddies and force them emotionally to carry and fwd the burden to their other friends...
P.S. - For those intrested in knowing, who all have added YOU to their crush list... pls contact orkut team .... ONLY they can tell u... not fwding that msg.... wch says... "_crushlist##$$" etc. etc.
incident one : -
"HEY ITS DIANNA, FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ORKUT,EVERYBODY SORRY FOR THEINTERRUPTION BUT ORKUT IS CLOSING THE SYSTEM DOWN BECAUSE TOO MANYBOTTERS ARE TAKING UP ALL THE NAMES, WE ONLY HAVE 57 NAMES LEFT, IF YOUWOULD LIKE TO CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT, DONT SEND THIS MESSAGE, IF YOU WANTTOKEEP YOUR ACCOUNT ,SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST. THIS ISNOT A JOKE, YOU'LL BE SORRY IF YOU DONT SEND IT. THANKS DIRECTOR OFORKUT, TIM BUISKI. WHOEVER DOESNT SEND THIS MESSAGE, YOUR ACCOUNT WILLBEDEACTIVATED AND IT WILL COST YOU $ 10.00 A MONTH TO USE IT...
(some of them have ppl giving practical experiences of their friends' accounts being closed for disobeying this bull shit....)
incident 2 - some divya singh is requesting you to fwd this msg so that she may get money from yahoo, orkut , etc. etc. for some disease operation worth lakhs......
incident 3 - some IIT guy is suffering from a so called once in a million disease and so pls pass on the msg... so that he may get money..... blah blah blah...
incident 4 - Jai ganeshay namah..,,(or watever).... i get this msg when i wake up.. and it says.. fwd it for ur gud luck... and some go to the extent ... if u wont ... u will hav a badluck for next one year or so...
incident 5 (comparatively sensible but still non-sense....) - one girl named christie is suffering from some disease ... she urgently needs B positive blood .... pls help by fwding this msg... (most of them dont have any contact no.)....
incident 6 - friendship is the best thing in the world... (oh !! is it?? i din knew !!! thanx for telling me...) and if u dont fwd u r not my friend... !!
gr8... the best thing in the world now depends on whether i pass this non-sense to others or not...
incident 8 - the most recent one..
hi!! am rashmi... my no. is ********* (sorry i dont remember the no... ) m a blind gal ... for my operation i need some lakhs and airtel has agreed to pay me 10 ps. everytime this sms is sent... so pls help me...
(i got this fwd from some 4-5 guys... and they ppl jus blindly fwded without even checking if this no. even exists or not...)...
P.S. - Airtel gives free local sms service in my circle (T.N.)... so in other words if this sms is fwded... firstly airtel will be increasing the load on its SMS servers... and secondly they will be bearing a loss as the sms is free... so effectively... airtel will have to spend lets say.. some 20 ps. just for giving 10 paise to this blind girl...(who doesnt even exist)... good isnt it?? i din knew airtel guys were this intelligent ....!!!!
STOPPPPPP!!!!!!!!
R we all idiots???
dont we have common sense (wch is supposed to be uncommon anyways) ??
do we ever think even once before fwding some msg.. or just pass it on blindly... and jus pass on the burden of bad luck to the next person...
Although many of us understand its not true... then also to be on the safer side we jus get the load off ourselves... not thinking that we are not jus keeping ourselves on safer side... but instead putting our friend in jeopardy... if the next guy believes too much in god... then he definitely cant ignore this msg... and dats how the story continues...
Its been since the very next day i bought a cell... i received this ganeshji's msg.. to fwd it to 10 ppl and have a good week... The very after i got email account i had some of my best friends sending this "pass if u are my friend " msg.. (oops.... i din fwd... but hey! he's still my friend... gr8??!!! hey.. but i wont tell this to him.. or else he'll break the friendship for not fwding that msg... ... wat chaat !!!! )...
anyways do u really think he will brk the frndship.... ??!!!
even i know he wont and so does he... but then why ?!!! why are we becoming slaves?? slaves of someone whom we dont even know... who would have started this all idotic crap...
I am not against those msgs showing importance of friendship but dude.. wats the need of ending that "if u dont... then u'll have badluck" word in the end...
Guys i am using orkut since past two years.. and i havent fwded that msg "if u dont send this to all ur contacts in ONE WEEK ur account will be deleted from orkut... " whoa... is it that i jus managed to fool the orkut guys.. or they dint notice me.. or wateva...
but have u ever thought wat max. can happen if i dont fwd that msg... GOOGLE wch has the largest storage space in the world... will delete ur account jus because of sudden rush on orkut.. whereas on the other hand they are still spending millions on the publicity of orkut ... so that they may get new users... amazing...!!!
and SUPPOSE (i know its not possible but still for ur satisfaction)... if they delete my account on orkut... and tell me to pay some $10 per month for using it...
why will they provide it to you free ...?? oh ... jus becoz u fwded their msg.. wch told about some bad policy of their company (if they wud have got any marketing skills ... they will better not give DHAMKI to their customers... )... cool... and more... if they wont provide it free.. do u think... how many of ur frends u think will remain there on orkut... i guess not even 5% will be ready to pay that price... in other words none of ur frends will be thr on orkut anymore.. then... wat da hell r u gonna do thr man??
And if u still have any doubt pls go and check this orkut - help page... wch clearly says.. they are not doing any such thing and this is just a rumour.. !!!!
http://www.orkut.com/News.aspx
if google , yahoo etc. etc. had to give money for charity.. dont u think they wud have better started some organization for that.. or gave it to some already active social organisation and made a huge publicity stunt sort of thing.... as nothing gets your image better than doing charity... (look at our filmstars... )
wats most common in all these msgs is that they will try to use ur emotions and sentiments... wch is the weakest (for us) and say the best target for them....
The Most recent was when i got an sms saying some final year of our college needs this blood group... the msg had tel. no. of hospital in which it claimed, he was admitted... i got it and as it sounded sensible i fwded it to all mah frends... then there were calls coming to me from students having the same blood group... they told me there was no one in that hospital ... they had called up thr...
so they were inquiring me... so i thought of a good way to get to that person.. i passed the contact no. of guy who had this blood group and wanted to donate blood back to whr i got the msg from.. so that msg could trace back to whr it all started... But the next day i found... it was all crap ... no final yr. student of our college was admitted...
Isnt that disgusting.. ppl jus make some crap msg for fun... and they dont even think of the troubles others might have..
Not just this... i also get this daily dose of all frends from orkut sending me some JHOOS invitation.. or somebody "TAGGING" me.... i havent clicked on any of them yet.. .but dear frends if u also receive any msg like dat frm me.. then understand that the website was able to fool me and get my orkut friend list ... and then carry on their dirty ways of publicity...

ofcourse... we had a point.. we beat them in the series jus before WC...
but the way match went... awesome..
hey !! 250 the target... that too against a team like sri lanka.. cmon guys..
u can expect it from our team in their present form...
ofcourse i know dravid is one of the most reliable captains we've ever had.. but a team needs to perform... !!
and if they cant... wats the need to have those players over thr..
sehvag... a century against bermuda... but wat bout his overall performance in the last 6 months...??
