I guess its time to move on especially we Indians.
That reverence for the old war heroes is best forgotten.
Why am i stating all this?
ever wondered that the economic capital of India can be shut for two days just by a bandh organized in the name of past of present faces?
Why are we so vulnerable, and that too on the cost of dead or quack men?
Agreed we cannot see disrespect to the things which meant a lot to us but i feel respect is a personal word.
Its a matter of freedom and choice so as to whom we respect and not.
Then whether a statue has cow dung on it,whether a online community hates our leaders , whether a bridge is not named after your favorite political leader etc should nt matter.
Why create such a huge thing about it.You respect him that should be more than enough.
And if one fails to understands this and wants it own way in every aspect they believe in religion,devotion,reverence then to hell with these memories.
Start with the namkarans:
names all the aircraft's,roads, gullys,parks ,fly overs, highways, maidans on numbers and numbers only.
next attack the statues.
all of them in the museum and no where else.
people burning effigies which might bring about counter response should be severely punished.
i can think of these measures any comments are welcoms on this.
but i feel only place where they need to be is in our hearts where they can live for eternity and never be disrespected.

u want a piece of me?
in my warning post i have stated that i wuill be honest to the core about anyone and everyone.
well i faced myslef and nows its time tobe honest about me!
i am the typo queen as u must ahve notice if u read 'inconsiderate men'(now deleted) nut honestly mpos of teh time typos are not really typos they r mistakes which are masked as typos.
i dont know what it was but i always ahted languages.Talkng was fun fun fun fun but when it came to writing i algged behind due to many persnal problems.
i still rmemebr writing a no punctution filled essay in the third grade and till date i yet dont put commas unless numerous items ahve to be mentioned.
so now u can understadn my language when it comes to the written end.
and yet i am made the magazine secretary.
now lets all be honest me with mylsef and u to with me if u ever read this fully.
some of you who know me and my team would definitly say i am the wrong choice.
n hell i am the worst choice infact.
i miss grammatical erros like they were never even there and spellings too me all forms of teh speelings r allowed.
its basically that i give a license for all to amke their own language up a they want.
boy by now u must be like that the end of teh magazine.
It surely would ave been if leroy and shivam hadnt been on th eteam.
i know a lot of my fnrds back stabbed me by talking ebhind my back abt me not deserving the post but fact was a fcat.
when i brought it out they would none the less say tehre could nt be a better choice.
lets just leave these duble faced people here i am writing this to give lime light to a totally different set of people.
day before yesterday i took teh principals interview.Sure as hell everyone wanted to come along so as to het rcogniced by teh princi.everyone was wanting teh limelight and they did try their numerous efforts like flattery, emotional blackmail eyc...
i did have low confidence cuz i aint very good at being teh secretary.
had i taken any one of these smart asses i would ahve never forgiven myself.
here comes the part where i introduce u to a few men whom i will always cerish having by my side:
modest , bhavesh, anirudh, kairav, sagar sir.
the person who amde me realise even though u dont feel u deserve the post yr wise see the intentions channelise the energy and i knwo yr good at acting so show those smart assses whose the moss : bhavesh.
the day i took the interview i was supposed to take it with kairav, but due to time constraints fate led me to anirudh.
there agian the head was heavy due to teh crown but anirudh did something magical.
hes like agree u dont know ho to take an interview but lady yr teh sec n u wil ahve to earn i am just going to be in teh back ground and giev u teh stage. u can do i know just be rslef.
and stay in teh background he did and we had an amazing inetrview hwihc lasted an hour n a half.
when i come home trust me as u can already see i cant write for peanuts.
not written one article for the mag not even edited any one.(what a dumb sec na ?)
i had to pen down teh interview cuz anirudh was adamant for it to come from me.
histpry repeats itself grammar, puncation, spellings all at once vanished.
after submiting it for anis and bhavesh feedback they were like improvise many may eroors.
i did.
still amny many errors.
innumerous
when bahvesh gave me the corrected copy all corrections done in red for a second time(first time i did teh correctoins but he lept many for me to see which i faiked to )i wept.
n i wept like there was no tomorrow.
Finally i have a proof to slap on my fnrds faces to say see u aint a true frnd bygger i told u i wasnt teh right one.
apart form that thought all my fears of gre came true.
bloody anyway its a coputer based test and with errors like tehse no chance of me getting above 1100 and 3 in teh essay and arg.
futher i cried because there r so many people wanting me to learn and i cant even do taht properly.
and lastly i wept cuz i dint know if i was the right choice for anything at all.
(things happen due to plain luck for me ).
even thought today i repent that i shoudl ahve mde an extra effort to do my languages better but i am still glad that in thisworld there are a few selfless lot who sincerely want otehrs to impove.
i honor these menfor they ahve given me huges lifts which i cna never repay and i also hoe i can ahve the trait of being as selfless as them.
funny thought but i am really scared to readwhat i have just tyoed cuz i know it will pull me down even more when it comes to the thought of gre.
God help me!!!

apple not only keeps docs away but windows is also added to the list
i guess u know what ticks me when i talk abt apple!
oh yesssss the only company which takes painstaking efforts for the over all appearance of all its products.
and i am all "ga" "ga" over it!
i was crazy enough to go against the trend and buying an apple notebook and nows its just turned me crazier!
everything right from the packaging and the product is so presentable and perfect.
its like an architects flawless design. It JUST CANT be made to look any better!
the sleek looks, the candid designs ( i mean whoever thought laptops can also have a fun look!) , the revolutionary OS , the exceptional ways of navigation(talking abt the touch dials on the i pods something really bold and novel as far as the ideas of buttons ran) the all integrated
notebooks (all of them packed with dvd writers + cameras thank god no extra bulky cameras to be added + apple remote which laptop offers u that now! + a state of the art key boards + eye candy graphical view vista i no where close to this baby!)
not only this its other products are just mind boggling.
talk abt the ipod/i shuffles, or the iphones or the apple tc, or my favorite the 21 inch limelight capturing desktop screen (which also costs a bomb!) , or the softwares like iwork and final cut studios and the list is endless.....
ok ok u must be thinking why is she advertising for "apple"
well its not advertisement
when i bought the state of the art laptop i was amazed to see something like this even exists!
its a dream comp for those who love graphics .
but yet we are so biased on buying comps which have only windows.
other products like iphones and iphones are tried and tested then why the hesitation in this field.
are u scared that most of yr softwares wont run on the apple!
are you scared u cant just all of a sudden develop the kicks for a new OS?
or is it just to expensive?
well firstly being a computer engineer i must say yr first doubt is legitimate but heres the cream now the dual core apple introduced gives u a dual os system!!!!!!!!!
most of the regualar sftware the apple is very much compatible with (trust me on this) eg, photoshop, corel, microsoft office, everything related to java.the very few programns that are not working well u anyways have the windows Os to take care of that.
why deprive your eyes and mind of such a wonderful experience!
secondly
for heavens sakes its has the best gui OS in the world what more do u want.
getting used to it is a piece of cake. the tutorials and the finder in it just cant make life any more easier!
and nope its not that costly with what services u get (remote cam dvd writer and lots lots more ) the price is appreciable!(i bought mine in abt 60 grand)
i could just go on and on but i guess the site is more intresting than my talks with graphics and videos so go have a look
www.apple.com
and try out the magic of apple i am sure it wont even keep doctors away from it! heheheh

No thanks we dont need no optimism
quiet a few times my frnds have told me why are u such a pessimist?
well heres the answer to all of them!
The power of negative thinking - a little pessimism may be good for some people
The power of negative thinking
The optimist, it's been said, sees thedoughnut where the pessimist sees only the hole. Psychologists are nearly unanimous in recommending that you keep your eye on the doughnut.
But now two researchers are suggestingthat for some people, a little pessimism may be a good thing. According to Julie K. Norem and psychologist Nancy Cantor, these people are able to use "defensive pessimism' to prevent the prospect of failure from immobilizing them.
To study the benefits of gloom anddoom, Norem and Cantor divided college students into optimists and defensive pessimists, on the basis of a questionnaire that measured their expectations in academic situations. Students in both groups had strong grade-point averages, and pessimists were as willing as optimists to acknowledge their previous academic successes.
The researchers then presented thestudents with a puzzle-like task and asked them to predict how well they would do. True to form, the pessimists made glummer predictions than the optimists did. They also scored higher on a measure of test anxiety. Yet the pessimists actually performed just as well as the optimists did on the puzzle. Their anxiety and their low expectations had not hurt their performance.
To find out whether the pessimistswere actually using a defensive strategy, the researchers repeated the study. This time, however, an experimenter offered encouragement to half the students before they began working, noting their grade-point averages and commenting that they would probably do quite well.
Once again, pessimists thoughtthey would do worse than optimists, and once again there were no overall differences in performance. However, although encouragement had no effect on the optimists' performance, it actually impaired the peformance of the pessimists. Norem and Cantor suggest that the experimenter's kind words interfered with the pessimists' strategy of anticipating the worst and then working hard to avoid it. Instead of harnessing their anxiety and turning it into productive effort, the pessimists seem to have succumbed to it.
The researchers conclude thatwhen well-intentioned people reassure pessimists that everything will be fine, they may not be doing them a favor. Defensive pessimists may need to play their little cognitive trick on themselves in order to do well. The best way for them to get the doughnut may be to prepare for the possibility of getting only the hole.
Well i guess that explains why i am what i am!
fear runs me more that hope!
;o)

Warning!!!
Well i decided to start a new blog after all.
the reason not being weeks of pestering from friends or the fear of being outdated it was the need for me to express my feelings.
oh no if you think i am going to fill this blog with depressing stories and how unfair the world is yada yada well u underestimate me!
This is my own space where i will reveal my true self, my honest views(which i mind you will not be gift raped in any way), and the person behind the scene.
It will be a challenge because truth can hurt ( oneself too) but it should be revealed and taken in the right spirit!
Your thinking i am just here to remove some grudges over a few through this ! Your Wrong!
I wanna show those hard asses who think they have used me how wrong they were and how sorry they will be cuz the ball was never in their court!
;) and apart form that there will be a lot to learn from here, cuz i am an avid reader when it comes to new things, a lot of mirch masala from my topsy turvy life and more importantly your reviews!
btw though this is my space u can give yr reviews freely even ask questions but dont hope all will be answered!
Hope to discover a more candid me!!!
