(Rape)</title><content type='html'>While describing my life at the "In Plant Training" in Tarapur, only one word comes to my mind, - HELL. Or it could be worse, cause I haven't been to hell ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My life here basically consists of slaving it out at the factory from 9 - 7 through the day, and although the official timing is from 9 - 5, the watchman doesn't let me out until 7. Nor do my supervisors (fondly called &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;masters&lt;/span&gt; by everyone beneath them). This is the "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;slave on a plantation&lt;/span&gt;" part of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that I come "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HOME&lt;/span&gt;" to a nylon mattress (the only piece of furniture in the house). From 7 - 11 at night, I try washing my clothes without a washing machine, using only Tide and a brush. Each piece of clothing takes 30 min to brush, and jeans sometimes take 45. After that I try to make dinner and give up, cause there is nothing to cook with (that includes no food material and no cooking utensils). This is the "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;housemaid&lt;/span&gt;" part of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have two roommates, both of whom are Oriya. I have nothing against the Oriya people who inhabit my country, except for the fact that I wouldn't give a damn ( be extremely happy rather) if they were exterminated from the face of the earth tomorrow. One of them is called Mr. Behra and the other one Mr. Sahu. Both of them don't speak English, or Hindi, or Marathi, or any other language I remotely understand. In fact, what they speak cannot be even called a language. They do however manage to magically cook some Rice and Daal (or something that resembles that kind of food). It has no taste whatsoever. We eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and because we can't get too much of it, sometimes between meals also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All my life I have been eating Rice and Daal at home, but I have never encountered as little as a tiny granule of stone in my Rice. The rice here seemed to be giving birth to boulders inside my mouth, which i politely take out with my fingers and throw out of the window. But the sons of bitches lacked even this common courtesy. Let me describe a common incident that takes place here during meals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Behra is busy gobbling up his rice like its caviar on black bread with champagne.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;He encounters a huge boulder in his mouth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;He spits it out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It lands on my side of the plate. (We have only one plate between the 3 of us.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Me: Dude, What the Fuck dude! U spit in my plate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Behra: It's our plate, remember? djdcsdc edefecelclllcecaacdedxaxmmeeca...... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;dffrwvfoeoopdqd..... (native fuckin oriya)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(continues eating and spitting)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not exactly the vibe you get dining at the Trident on Sunday afternoons. (Unless there are terrorists, but even that might not be this painful.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;dinner &lt;/span&gt;(haha joke), I try sleeping on my nylon mattress. But as there is no electricity here ever, it gets really hot. This the the "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ginger bread man&lt;/span&gt;" part of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you think your life sucks, just re read what you just read.&lt;br /&gt;And even if you dream about how your life sucks, wake up and apologize immediately.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-5122103717917614349?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/5122103717917614349/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=5122103717917614349&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/5122103717917614349'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/5122103717917614349'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2010/05/in-plant-training-rape.html' title='In Plant Training.

Thats all, thats it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are friends?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends are people who roll joints for you, or help you score some decent maal, and are always ready to light up whenever u feel a little down.&lt;br /&gt;The others are just lame high schoolish punks who refuse to grow up. But they are just as good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are girls?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Popularly called Chamiya, Chammakchallo, item, Maal, in most circles, girls are objects.&lt;br /&gt;Everyday objects, just like toothbrushes and paste, which you rub over your teeth in the morning. Just like trains, which you ride everyday on your way to work/college. Some of them might even be like lectures, nagging us all day, and making us wish we were never born. Or a sip of the afternoon chai, or the puff of a ciggy, gone in an instant, but make u feel good for a while. Or maybe a chilled beer after an honest day's work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these objects, and many more rolled into one, make up a woman. But in finality, a woman is always an object, always has been, and always will be. Amen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is sex?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cant say, never had it before.

type='text'>Hey Mama</title><content type='html'>Once upon a time I was poor. My Mother made great sacrifices for me during this time and continues to do so today. But it was especially hard for her at that time, when she had to juggle her office, me and also take care of the finances. But she was always there for me, and she gave me the best childhood anyone can ever have. Although I didn't listen to her many times and regretted it later, she would always keep her patience. This little poem is a tribute to my mother...  the greatest in the world of course....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey Mama, this song is about you and me,&lt;br /&gt;We've traveled so far, its hard for me to see,&lt;br /&gt;What you've done for our family, but finally,&lt;br /&gt;I understand what you went through,&lt;br /&gt;To buy me those beautiful shoes, When i was 5,&lt;br /&gt;And when i cried, I saw the tears in your beautiful eyes.&lt;br /&gt;You spent all your money buying me stuff i didn't need,&lt;br /&gt;God forgive me, Man, for my deeds, so full of greed.&lt;br /&gt;So now i spread the message of love in the language of rhymes,&lt;br /&gt;Seeking atonement for my numerous crimes, numerous times.&lt;br /&gt;You've made it Mama, it's your time to shine.&lt;br /&gt;I promise, you wont have to work when i grow up,&lt;br /&gt;And I'll buy you a mansion when i make a billion bucks.&lt;br /&gt;And I'll buy Dad a tux he always looked at, through the window,&lt;br /&gt;And You'll probably gain some kilos, riding in a stretch limo.&lt;br /&gt;I know i acted a fool, I should have done better at school,&lt;br /&gt;But Mom, i wanted to be cool, never realized that education was the tool.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes i cheated you mom, and the things i said were lies,&lt;br /&gt;Whenever i think about those times Ma, I part of me cries,&lt;br /&gt;And it can't be disguised, all is revealed through my eyes.&lt;br /&gt;You asked me to keep outta trouble and I did just the opposite,&lt;br /&gt;Yet you never said,"I said so", and you helped me cope with it.&lt;br /&gt;You are my determination, inspiration, motivation, reason for not quitting,&lt;br /&gt;And there's nothing on earth that's fitting, for all the sacrifices&lt;br /&gt;you made for me, and all of your pain,&lt;br /&gt;I hope never to let you down again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Love You Mama...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-5356100133454520213?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/5356100133454520213/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=5356100133454520213&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/5356100133454520213'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/5356100133454520213'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2009/11/hey-mama.html' title='Hey Mama'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-3013523958594612612</id><published>2009-11-02T14:18:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2009-11-02T15:34:30.934+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Arranged Marriages!</title><content type='html'>If you are a single, typical, young man who lives in India, the day will dawn when you realize that the only way you can get SOME, lies in the hallowed institution of marriage. Most of the guys I know have squandered their adolescence trying to GET BUSY, without any luck. So one day, when you're probably 25, you'll harbor hopes of acquiring a HOT FOX through "Arranged Marriages". I shall redefine beauty so that there is no confusion whatsoever in your mind about beauty and some of you don't regret having to spend your life with a Grizzly Bear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a piece of bullshit! Everyone know this is the biggest piece of prevarication ever used to con man! If she's HOT, she's HOT. Don't matter what u think or i think, she's HOT. And in your heart you know that's true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I formally change this quote to :-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Beauty lies in the eye of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Beer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;holder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coz i won't call Queen Latifah, Naomi Campbell unless i have more beer than blood in my body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before you start looking for a woman, aim high, and go for the most beautiful one you can get. You deserve her. Man's wealth has always been traded off with a woman's beauty, since Adam and Eve got together. If you got the right earning potential, spending potential and the green card getting potential, you should be okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't okay a girl just by seeing her photographs, coz photographs lie!&lt;br /&gt;They maybe airbrushed to get all the pimples out, make her face look slimmer and make her hair extra black (extra hair maybe added too). Some girls might even put their faces on bodies of professional models with perfect figures, and you'll find out later that she's really a 36000-24000-36000. (bad joke).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when actually seeing a girl in person be careful. If she's wearing a loose salwar kameez or a sari, be sure of the fact that she's obese. If she's not doing most of the talking she's probably holding her breath to hold in her paunch. You got to see her in western clothes at least once. Coz if a girl has something to show, she will make damned sure that you will see it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suppose you make sure that your future wife is slim(some how!). You're job is still not done. Coz a lot of overweight women go through crash diets during the wedding season, starving themselves or going to professional "fat-farms" to lose dozens of pounds, to get into presentable shape. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;And then they get it back on after 2 months of marriage&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A solution to this problem is that you look at their pictures taken 2-3 yrs ago. That way you'll know whether they are inclined towards obesity or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So best of luck you not so lucky guys!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my next article i shall try to tackle a much more difficult question which has puzzled all of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Man"kind&lt;/span&gt; up to date :-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

I looked at the 2011 UICT Bombay Technologist all night long just staring into the faces of the guys who were undergrads like me, and now are entrepreneurs, scientists, researchers, CEO's and other such successful people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few of the glittering successes were close friends of mine. The Tanky has become a leading pharmaceutical researcher and developed a all-in-one capsule for diseases ranging from common cold to cancer. Bevda has developed engines that run on edible oil, and also made all oils consumed by man to be totally fat-free. The Fat Bastard lives in his 200 room villa in southern Italy. One of the losers is now the Mayor of Churchgate and Andheri. The MP from Mumbai is the guy in whose room we used to smoke pot after class. The fellow whose clothes i borrowed many times just published a best-seller. The "Psycho Robot Stabbing Killing m/c" now runs a fashion house in Paris and also is the editor of the "Vogue". And I could go on and on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being an eternal Poet (not a good one though) I'll try to summarize my college years in two verses :-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;A cup of tea before a Class,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;and a smoke thereafter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Nothing much in between, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;save a little laughter.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Shots of Vodka in the night,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;And smoking pot too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;But what killed us more,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;were Confessions, some of which were true.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;A glimpse of a fair maiden,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;picturing her to be my wife.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;A verse on Her and my Love,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;those were the best days of my life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, I'm still scared as hell.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-1899638262088140056?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/1899638262088140056/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=1899638262088140056&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/1899638262088140056'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/1899638262088140056'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-25th-reunion.html' title='My 25th Reunion.'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-1298473211665985220</id><published>2009-07-26T20:12:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2009-07-26T20:54:38.881+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Deep (almost profound) Shit.</title><content type='html'>This blog was originally created by me to let you (the readers) get a peek into my innermost and darkest thoughts and desires. But, i admit that i have wavered intermediately. However, with this post i shall try to redeem myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a aberrant thought that keeps popping up into my mind every now and then. But i shove it into some dark, deep corner of my mind. But on this melancholy Sunday evening i cannot resist telling you all about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look around me. Everywhere i see, i find people in love. In I.C.T., at home, building, neighborhood, old neighborhood,  stations, restaurants, theaters, malls, everywhere! I don't think of it much at that time. But when I'm alone on a gloomy Saturday afternoon, or a lugubrious Sunday evening, I do wish there was someone i could spend my time with. Not necessarily to talk to, or do anything worthwile, or share some activity, just to sit by me and witness my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes i fear that i may never find Her. I have nightmares. In each one of them, i am 40 years old. (strange). On weekdays I'm slogging, doing some stupid job i hate, eating cold meals all by myself, with no one to talk to. I come home from work and make myself a small meal if i haven't ordered anything on my way back. Sometimes i just don't eat at night. Then i lay awake on a large, cosy bed until 2 in the morning when i finally decide to pop some pills that'll make me sleep. Day after day after day. On weekends I'm too drunk to remember anything. Life goes on and I die one day in my rented apartment, with a glass of rum in my hand, sitting in my grouchy old couch watching television. No relatives attend my funeral. The authorities take care of the protocol with ruthless celerity. Not a tear shed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this doesn't happen to me ever, but i give in to such negative thoughts some times. I know time will take care of me. It has to. I always believed that I was perfect, but know i realize that that isn't true. I have to get rid of my cankers and ameliorate my good qualities. (GRE mutha-fucka). I have to be more tolerant and think before i speak. I've really hurt a lot of people with my caustic remarks and i wish i could take them back. So that's a hard lesson life's taught me. Please forgive me if i fucked up ur case, or verbally assaulted you.

Thanks to some new shitty rules, going to college has become miserable. The students of ICT ( localites + hostelites ) will agree to what i am saying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new rules this year are -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;No localite can enter any of the hostels at any time.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Old hostel people cannot go into the new hostel and vice-versa.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Munna Canteen closed at 10.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Separate uniforms for new/old hostel students for identification.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;I cannot believe this had to happen to us in the third year. Wtf!&lt;br /&gt;Now we can no longer watch movies, take naps, or chill out in the hostels. We are forced to go home or wait in some classroom in between lectures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This cannot be accepted on any terms. Those ICT students who have read this, please contact me (9819186331). We will decide a time and place to protest against these new rules. Please spread this by word of mouth. We need to do something. These are the best years of my life. I don't want some stupid rules to waste them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inquilab Zindabad,&lt;br /&gt;Go Home Hostel-in-charge.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-8603771910159912002?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/8603771910159912002/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=8603771910159912002&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/8603771910159912002'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/8603771910159912002'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2009/07/new-hostel-rules.html' title='New Hostel Rules...'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SmARZR5r7FI/AAAAAAAAADQ/-UrIZzmEp34/s72-c/hostel.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-171028537074282525</id><published>2009-07-08T18:50:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2009-07-08T19:14:48.439+05:30</updated><title type='text'>The Pain Of being Ignored...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SlSikxGVsKI/AAAAAAAAADI/JJKDzEIlrTA/s1600-h/unicefdont.ignore.me.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 364px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SlSikxGVsKI/AAAAAAAAADI/JJKDzEIlrTA/s400/unicefdont.ignore.me.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356084609389277346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am being ignored by almost everyone since school reopened. I don't know why. I know I've been rash with a lot of people including my friends. So, the thing that i feared the most has finally happened. Although i might try to convince myself that i can survive without anyone talking to me, deep down i know it is completely false. I need my friends. I need people to laugh at my jokes, (or at me in most of the cases.) I need to borrow notes, be informed of lectures and practicals, and to give me company in trains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've made fun of a lot of people through this blog. Let me tell you a secret. I envy each one of that person. The people that have been made fun of in this blog are the people who are going to be leaders of tomorrow. They have a lot of talent and potential. I see that in them. Since i possess none of their qualities, i TRY to laugh at them. But the joke is on me, really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am an ugly, lonely caricature of a human being. I need you guys to stop ignoring me. I'm sorry if i have hurt you, and i wish to make amends to it through this post. God has been kind to me by bringing you people into my life. &lt;br /&gt;So please look after me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope ur not ignoring this blog too...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-171028537074282525?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/171028537074282525/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=171028537074282525&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/171028537074282525'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/171028537074282525'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2009/07/pain-of-being-ignored.html' title='The Pain Of being Ignored...'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SlSikxGVsKI/AAAAAAAAADI/JJKDzEIlrTA/s72-c/unicefdont.ignore.me.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-7885848065531565208</id><published>2009-06-07T16:56:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2009-06-07T17:23:04.755+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Sarang Bhaway: A Tale of 2 Cities.</title><content type='html'>Sarang Bhaway is one messed up dude. He plays excellent table-tennis, gets good grades and is pretty well behaved in front of the ladies. He even avoided liquor for 1 whole year just to be Mr. goody pants. But even that wasn't enough for this bitch to get laid. Enough with the eulogy, lets get on with the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;Sarang Bhaway: A Tale of 2 Cities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Part &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;1 -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;CHURCHGATE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;For one whole year Sarang got on to the train to churchgate, but never really made it to that station. Unfortunately for him, a stupid, lousy, bird-brained chutiya, the T.C. in this case  managed to sneak in and kicked Sarang out. This chutiya wouldn't let Sarang get near churchgate, and stuck to it like an ant to a sugar cube. Churchgate also took full advantage of Sarang. While it vasuled taxes from him, It wud never let Sarang use its amenities, like electricity, water, roads, security from theives in the dark. Hahahahaaha....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Sarang got mugged. The muggers took his cellphone away and beat him up mercilessly (exactly what i wanted to do for 1 yr). The next day he came to college and we laughed at him until our stomaches hurt. This isn't a part of the story, but its too good to miss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then one day Sarang realised that he will never get to Churchgate.

So i always dreamed of going there on a vacation. When i first arrived in Los Angeles i met some "Players". Although i never quite understood what sport they played, they were happy, joyful people. They always kept talking about Sunny Beaches, and Mother Truckers. They never used any grammatical rules, punctuations, conjunctions and twisted the English language, just like the Chittapavans in Ratnagiri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These players are always listening to Wrap Songs. In wrap songs, the narrator keeps on saying "bitch", "cunt" and "doggy" with some non-sense words inserted between them. He never lets the musicians play their instruments, although the tabalji manages to provide a beat though with much difficulty. Wrap songs remind me of Atal Bihari Vajpayees' speeches. A Vanilla - faced mc called Eminem is the dopest Rapist around they say. All other rapists are tanned whites who run jewellery stores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people in America are very friendly. Whenever i ask for a photograph and a smile they show me the middle finger. It is their way of greeting us. So i too wave my middle finger at everyone i see, especially the police and old grannies, as i want to be nice to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The american is very respectful of the brown man. Whenever i take a bus and it is full people offer to give me seats and take God's name. I know we are computer experts but this is too much. I think that is because they think we're a mixture of Vanilla Faces and Playas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The woman of america is very beautiful. But they are wasting their talents. I ask "very nice, how much?", they call cops or call me animal names like "pussy" and "meat", even though i say i will use protection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will continue in next post...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-1331855893804471978?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/1331855893804471978/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=1331855893804471978&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/1331855893804471978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/1331855893804471978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-1st-trip-to-u-s-of.html' title='My 1st Trip to the U S of A.'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-7802878849345084018</id><published>2009-05-07T19:12:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2009-05-07T20:00:45.797+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Friends</title><content type='html'>Once a guy asked me if i had a friend who was perfect. If he met me today i would answer "Abhay Sane, it is". As I've described to you already in my earlier posts, it is amply clear that he is God. I have a Tee quoting "I was an atheist till i realised i was god." Now i'm gonna change it to "I was an atheist till i realized Abhay was god." He is that good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways i have lesser fortunate friends also, who are not endowed with Abhay's qualities, but are equally as important in my life. So this post is dedicated to them mostly...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A friend is a person who likes you inspite of your faults. (Sometimes for your faults also!!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this goes out to all my friends...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even though you're going to a summer camp with your 11 year old brother and other such pre - adolescents, and you have no shame admitting it, (and you being a 19 yr old), you're still my friend.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even though you never made it to Churchgate (the railways kicked u out at marine lines, hahahaha), you're still my friend.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even though you're dating a toddler who eats cerelac and wears huggies, you're still my friend.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even though you're obsessed with a girl who dumped you thrice, and used you as a porter, courier boy, etc. for 39 years while dating other men, you're still my friend.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even though The Math fucked ur ass soooo hard, that you probably have a perforated ANUS, you're still my friend.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even though you Hit on every girl you lay your eyes upon, you're still my friend.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even though your backbone is crushed to a million little pieces, you're still my friend.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even though ur a MVP soccer superstar, and you didn't even get close to having a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;female&lt;/span&gt; WAG, (even though u shaved your mustache off), you're still my friend.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even though ur bald for all practical purposes and weigh about 350 pounds, you're still my friend.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even though u appear to be (and most probably are) a member of the gay community, through your words and actions, you're still my friend&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;So all my friends, be proud of your lack of scalp hair(only), your perforated anus', your homosexuality, your crushed backbones, lack of game^2, your pre-puberty girlfriends, and unhealthy obsessions with a member of the opposite sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because in my eyes u are perfect, (less than Abhay ofcourse), and my life would have been joyless, soul-less, and most importantly weedless without you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace Out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. - U bunch of wussies fell for that sentimental shit i dropped, didn't you. ;-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-7802878849345084018?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/7802878849345084018/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=7802878849345084018&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/7802878849345084018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/7802878849345084018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2009/05/friends.html' title='Friends'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-7656277180885873540</id><published>2009-03-25T20:29:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2009-03-25T20:31:00.343+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Thrown out of Class</title><content type='html'>Well, i was thrown out of the analytical chemistry lab for no reason on Monday. This got me thinking about how unfair life is.What had i possibly done to annoy HER? i do not know...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many times in school have you felt like biting your teacher's head off? Well, i don't know about you, but i have a general contempt for all teachers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, after i was thrown out i felt crappy for about 15 min. But then i met some of my friends in the canteen. That made me happy. It is important for every one of us to know that when we are rejected by someone we are not rejected by everyone. I could be myself in front of them. They didn't bother how i behaved because deep down they know that i'm good, caring, helping and innocent.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt; My friends can rely on me. I don't care what mistakes they have made, or how badly they have behaved, ill always help them and support them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times when I think we should be proud to be rejected. Almost anybody who has made a difference in the world has experienced rejection. The Hebrew prophets were rejected. Jesus was rejected. Gandhi and the Dalai Lama were rejected. The abolitionists, the suffragettes, the civil rights marchers were all rejected. You could quickly compile a list of imminent and admirable people and every one of them at some time or another would have experienced rejection. I think there are times when we should be glad we do not fit in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am obviously going to face the repercussions of being thrown out in the exams. But i do not worry about that. I live my life fearlessly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My advice to you is to live your life according to what you feel is right. Dont bother about hurting other people's sentiments and all that stuff. People who are unfair to you will suffer, either directly or indirectly. Live life your own way. You life might be short this way, but it'll be bloody wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;But most importantly -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Dont be a chatya...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND REMEMBER ALL TEACHERS -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"YOU CAN THROW ADWAIT OUT OF THE LAB, BUT YOU CANT THROW THE LAB OUT OF ADWAIT."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-7656277180885873540?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/7656277180885873540/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=7656277180885873540&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/7656277180885873540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/7656277180885873540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2009/03/thrown-out-of-class_25.html' title='Thrown out of Class'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-2657084604891619840</id><published>2009-02-28T15:06:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2009-02-28T16:12:37.540+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Marijuana Dreams - Pt 1</title><content type='html'>Alternate Nirvana-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a particularly high dose of herb, i go to bed. I fall asleep. I awaken. The Sun is shining through my window and its rays hurt my eyes. Slowly, i open them. A cool breeze kisses my forehead. I am drawn outdoors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I step out of my house. The sky seems to be a tall glass of vodka with a lemon slice (probably the sun) squeezed onto it. My eye greedily drinks as much as it can, until my brain feels numb. After a long silence I hear something buzzing in my ear. At first i think its Jefferson Airplane playing their no. ones. But then i hear someone reciting "Ode to Melancholy" by Keats. One of my favorites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I notice a single tree somewhere in the meadows. I walk towards it. It has all kinds of fruits laden on it. I pluck a banana, 2 apples and a pineapple from it. The pineapple hurts my fingers. I notice them cut and bruised. An angel appears from one of the apples and a green wicked creature from another, as i keep eating the apples. Then the angel and the goblin ram into each other and i see a baby being born.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The baby explodes into a hundred bubbles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly i see carnival tents all around me. Freaks, dwarfs, elephants, children sucking on cotton candies. Remember, that at this point i have no money, no friends around and especially no herb. I enter a tent. I see an ugly refugee from the free love generation snorting on his coke. Stay away from powders, Kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pattern on the tent begins to swirl. It forms a revolving passage. I walk through it to a dance hall filled with Proto-Hippies. They are dancing and singing and laughing. One girl has i particularly broad smile. I enter her mouth and find myself in the San Francisco of the middle sixties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I crash into "consciousness expansion" or you may call it a generation of permanent            cripples, failed seekers, who never            understood the essential old-mystic      fallacy of the herb Culture.&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;pre  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;But no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you are&lt;br /&gt;here and alive in this corner of time and the world.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My head is heavy, my limbs are weary,&lt;br /&gt;And it is not life that makes me move."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Percy Bysshe Shelley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The Curtain Fall&lt;/span&gt;s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-2657084604891619840?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/2657084604891619840/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=2657084604891619840&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/2657084604891619840'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/2657084604891619840'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2009/02/marijuana-dreams-pt-1.html' title='Marijuana Dreams - Pt 1'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-5299208888943181028</id><published>2009-02-13T14:53:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2009-02-13T15:25:16.907+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Soumya Deep Ghosh...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Soumyadeep Ghosh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soumyadeep Ghosh is a hero no one knows about. He isn't even in the history books. Some people even doubt whether he has the citizenship of India or not. But you cannot deny the fact that he singlehandedly brought victory to India in world war 1 and 2, and even in the Kargil war of 1857.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the beginning, Soumyadeep knew he was destined for greatness, although Isha would never be his. This was because he knew &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Adwait Deshpande&lt;/span&gt;. He was born of a Belgian Dad and Mexican mom in East Kanjurmarg. He loved the jews. So he killed Hitler and that was how the Battle of Panipat ended. Soumyadeep wrote many novels under the pen name of P.G. Wodehouse and Agatha Cristie. Soumyadeep taught Martial arts to Bruce Lee, and Tennis to Rod Laver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soumyadeep once peed in the Himalays and that gave birth to the holy Ganges. He tripped over once and the Grand Canyon was formed. He travlled down the mississipi with his friend, Huck Finn, and freed all the black slaves. He invented automatic machine guns and cotton candy on the same day. He created the first computer which he still uses today. Neil armstrong and his buddies stayed at Soumyadeep's house on the moon the 1st time they went there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Soumyadeep turned 11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like all youth of his age, in East kanjurmarg, He joined a Gang, to get his "props".&lt;br /&gt;He won the beer drinking competition 3 times in a month. Then the worse happened. Isha was kidnapped by the chinese as she was on the verge of finding a cure for prostate cancer. So Soumyadeep rode on his tricycle to China and thus defeating 1000's of ninjas and samurai's rescued her. After that China became a democracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soumyadeep probably saved the world 20 times after that. but since he always used a fake name in battle so no one knows him. He will go unnoticed by time and history, but he will always be my hero and drinking companion as long as he pays. And you can't take that away from us.

In other words Reason, if not grounded in &lt;i style=""&gt;Art&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i style=""&gt;does not work&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;If Science is not grounded in &lt;i style=""&gt;Art&lt;/i&gt; it loses its direction – the source of its hypotheses. &lt;i style=""&gt;Art &lt;/i&gt;is the domain of the &lt;i style=""&gt;Self&lt;/i&gt;; it is direct intuitive knowledge. Separated from his-&lt;i style=""&gt;Self&lt;/i&gt; the student is a stranger to &lt;i style=""&gt;Art&lt;/i&gt;, intuition, creativity and authentic desire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;The secret to fulfilment, happiness and a better world is&lt;i style=""&gt; there is no secret&lt;/i&gt;. After wrestling with the enormous absurdity and frustration of modern life you eventually say: Fuck it! This deep thought is depressing me too much. &lt;i style=""&gt;I&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i style=""&gt;just want to enjoy myself”&lt;/i&gt;, and ironically you solve your dilemma. You rediscover what you already knew as a child - that happiness is your purpose - and realise that, as an adult, &lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;doing what makes you happy is the most revolutionary act imaginable&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Oh, and for those solemn souls who think such selfish anarchic pleasure will destroy the world, haven’t you ever noticed that happiness is something that only grows &lt;i style=""&gt;when it is shared?&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Rejecting every value, belief and direction that doesn’t emanate from within your-&lt;i style=""&gt;Self&lt;/i&gt; is necessary to ‘clear the decks’, so the speak. With this reversal of perspective education becomes a matter of using that which &lt;i style=""&gt;resonates&lt;/i&gt; with that within you and ignoring the rest. That is, education becomes part of the &lt;i style=""&gt;Art&lt;/i&gt; of living - it becomes part of LIFE.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;And what is good, Phaedrus, and what is not good - need we ask anyone to tell us these things&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;?”&lt;a style="" href="http://www.moq.org/forum/GavinGeeClough/StudentLifeAndOtherContradictions.html#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Robert Pirsig &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-397406185504428199?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/397406185504428199/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=397406185504428199&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/397406185504428199'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/397406185504428199'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2009/01/contradictions-in-students-life.html' title='Contradictions in a Student&apos;s Life'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-7208925909145789709</id><published>2009-01-06T23:08:00.004+05:30</published><updated>2009-01-06T23:58:14.824+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Atoms</title><content type='html'>Well people have been bugging me to write about something scientific for a long time. But its just not my cup of tea. I've got many offers from Sci Am and other such magazines for articles but I'm not interested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways I'll do one just for you (UD public)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But since I'm in UICT, I'll write something about chemistry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atoms are the basis of chemistry...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Atoms is my topic today&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATOMS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are atoms? Atoms are "particles" so small, people cant see them. Only scientists can. Thats why i want to be a scientist when i graduate. Well since no one has actually seen an atom, we have to keep faith that atoms exist. Just like how we keep faith in 36 crore of our Gods.&lt;br /&gt;And yeah, Atoms are indivisible... Just like Amar, Akbar and Anthony...&lt;br /&gt;They cant be divided... Like India and Pakistan are... or Paul and Heather... or Anil and Mukesh...&lt;br /&gt;Atoms were present on earth a long long time ago. Even before dinosaurs. They are even older than the queen of England!!!&lt;br /&gt;Atoms can be fat and thin .... Just like us...and they have brains called Nucleas's&lt;br /&gt;Atoms also bond man... just like us ... Hetero... Homo and even in groups....&lt;br /&gt;Atoms have charges, positive and negative... So they have friends and enemies just like us...&lt;br /&gt;Atoms have various energy levels.&lt;br /&gt;Eg.&lt;br /&gt;Atom in a classroom = lowest level&lt;br /&gt;Atom at friend's place = medium level&lt;br /&gt;Atom in a bar = Highest level&lt;br /&gt;Atom in a bar with free and unlimited booze = Atom explodes into subatomic particles&lt;br /&gt;Some Atoms are unstable and Decay... They are put into mental institutions&lt;br /&gt;Atoms are found in different states, like high, drunk, sober, depressed, @#$%ed, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atoms were discovered by Indian Philosophers... I love Indian Philosophers man, they're cool. They just think, and do nothing. No experiments, no logic. Basically they've taken a chill pill and don't bother proving their ideas to others. Just my kinda people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This concept was then Stolen by one Mr. John Dalton. And other White people added their nonsense to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is all i know about atoms. Hope it has been very educational to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers,&lt;br /&gt;Adwait Deshpande&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-7208925909145789709?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/7208925909145789709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=7208925909145789709&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/7208925909145789709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/7208925909145789709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2009/01/atoms.html' title='Atoms'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-4283406241155923030</id><published>2009-01-03T22:37:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2009-01-03T23:08:36.314+05:30</updated><title type='text'>The Boring People - How to Avoid Them</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SV-icWzt1uI/AAAAAAAAAC4/Ru1N1o3XGKo/s1600-h/HF_Bored.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 294px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SV-icWzt1uI/AAAAAAAAAC4/Ru1N1o3XGKo/s400/HF_Bored.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287123095598782178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We meet Boring people everyday, everywhere we go. Frankly, life is too short to endure Boring people. They suck the joy out of our life. They can turn a good mood into a bad one. They make our good jokes look crappy and bring us down in any way they can, just because they aren't as good as us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I would rather be around people who are fully engaged in their life experience with lots of energy, strength of character and interesting things to talk about. I would like to be around people who will have personality, humor and are just plain fun to be around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the Fundamental Problem is -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HOW DO WE AVOID BORING PEOPLE?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whenever they come near you, pretend that you are talking on the phone. (U cant do this  every time.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Try to act as if you are in a hurry, or you remembered to do something important.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Always say you have other plans, even if they maybe be to curl up on the sofa and watch T.V.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Some people are so clingy that they refuse to leave your side, even for a minute, and they don't get the picture that u aren't interested.&lt;br /&gt;The above mentioned methods wont work for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is only one way to get rid of such people. Insult them time and again in front of everybody.&lt;br /&gt;Although it will be difficult to do so in the beginning, you will enjoy humiliating them later. (This is my personal experience.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are my thoughts on Boring People and How to avoid them....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But i need your inputs too, so gimme some new, innovative ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until then, Goodbye.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-4283406241155923030?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/4283406241155923030/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=4283406241155923030&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/4283406241155923030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/4283406241155923030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2009/01/boring-people-how-to-avoid-them.html' title='The Boring People - How to Avoid Them'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SV-icWzt1uI/AAAAAAAAAC4/Ru1N1o3XGKo/s72-c/HF_Bored.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-6709462100430298924</id><published>2009-01-01T16:02:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2009-01-01T16:28:15.338+05:30</updated><title type='text'>New Year Resolutions</title><content type='html'>I make resolutions each year.

I wish to share with you what i feel about them. I am no art critic so please bear with my ignorance if i have missed out on anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Modigliani had a deep respect for Picasso as an artist. He used some aspects of   Picasso's cubism, and the way Picasso would depict his artistic friends during his blue period would remain one of the main themes in Modigliani's own work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pablo Picasso's Blue Period refers to a series of paintings in which the color blue dominates and which he painted between 1901 and 1904. The blue period is a marvelous expression of poetic subtlety and personal melancholy and contributes to the transition of Picasso's style from classicism to abstract art.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picasso's style is a fascinating synthesis of many of the important styles in modern art, in which he "borrowed" from many of his contempories, and in Modigliani's case he would borrow from a man who had initially borrowed from him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No-one neither disputes the expressionist quality of Modigliani's art, nor will many disagree that Vincent van Gogh is the arch-father of expressionism. It therefore seems unlikely that Van Gogh was not a major influence on Modigliani and there is ample evidence that he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Modigliani's painting Jeanne Hébuterne wearing a straw hat the influence of Van Gogh is clearly visible by the prominent monochrome background, the thick, dark contours, the course, expressive brush strokes in the straw hat and the flatness of most of the painting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you look at Picasso's painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon then you'll see faces that are crude, and made that even the artistic avant garde would doubt his sanity. It was Modigliani who introduced subtlety to abstract portraiture and it took Picasso decades to construct his version of a mature style of abstract portraiture, which had come naturally to Modigliani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the best examples of Modigliani's style is his painting Jeanne Hébuterne wearing a straw hat. One of the key-elements of Modigliani's portraitism were the slanted heads, derived from Byzantine cariatides. However, the eyes and mouth are almost horizontal and the curvature of the nose makes it almost vertical. Regardless of these artefacts, the portrait is still as subtle and descriptive as a figurative portrait but has the directness and expression of abstract art. The portrait's subtlety is due to Modigliani's unique talent, but it's essence, the facial construction is one of the most important artistic inventions of modern art.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SOzC8aPoLmI/AAAAAAAAACQ/yMw6uZSS4uE/s1600-h/jeanne-hebuterne-straw-hat.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SOzC8aPoLmI/AAAAAAAAACQ/yMw6uZSS4uE/s400/jeanne-hebuterne-straw-hat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254789208327335522" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picasso would go on schematize Modigliani's facial constructions, which would become the key-element of his own style and what people associate Picasso with, today. This schematized version of Modigliani's style would prove to be far more copyable and hence of far greater direct influence, but would never attain Modigliani's artistic maturity and subtlety, nor would it result in portraits that accurately resembled the subject, as Modigliani's portraits did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am now studying the CUBISM style of painting invented by Georges Braque and Picasso.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-7946242835435338590?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/7946242835435338590/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=7946242835435338590&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/7946242835435338590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/7946242835435338590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2008/10/picasso-vs-modigliani.html' title='Picasso vs. Modigliani'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SOzC8aPoLmI/AAAAAAAAACQ/yMw6uZSS4uE/s72-c/jeanne-hebuterne-straw-hat.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-3819277117916874511</id><published>2008-09-26T23:01:00.005+05:30</published><updated>2008-09-26T23:31:26.716+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Things i Hate</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This part of my life is called HATING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SN0jJxpifwI/AAAAAAAAACI/h6gHE5J9GFQ/s1600-h/Hate.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SN0jJxpifwI/AAAAAAAAACI/h6gHE5J9GFQ/s400/Hate.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250391391437225730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:red;"&gt;I hate people who only respond to survey emails or send stupid forwards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:red;"&gt;I hate parents who try to talk to their children like adults.

His unswerving faith in an         intense devo- tion to his guru have been his keys to success.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:century gothic, arial, helvetica;"&gt;Bhimsen is a versatile singer; he is an expert in khayal singing but he is also adept         in the presentation of thumris, songs from plays, or devotional compositions. His lilting         thumris (Jadu bhareli, Piya ke milan ki aas or Babul mora) and his innumerable popular         Abhangs composed by the saints of Maharashtra are instances in point.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padma_Vibhushan" title="Padma Vibhushan"&gt;Padma Vibhushan&lt;/a&gt; in 1999&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnataka_Ratna" title="Karnataka Ratna"&gt;Karnataka Ratna&lt;/a&gt; in 2005&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padma_Bhushan" title="Padma Bhushan"&gt;Padma Bhushan&lt;/a&gt; in 1985&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padma_Shree" title="Padma Shree" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Padma Shree&lt;/a&gt; in 1972&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sangeet_Natak_Akademi_Award" title="Sangeet Natak Akademi Award"&gt;Sangeet Natak Akademi Award&lt;/a&gt; in 1976&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;First platinum disc in 1986&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Maharashtra Bhushan award by Govt. of Maharashtra&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:century gothic, arial, helvetica;"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:century gothic, arial, helvetica;"&gt;Bhimsen is a prodigy - unique - a divine miracle.

At age 14, enamoured of the British Invasion and soul music, he began playing in bands. With the Hassels, he recorded two albums in the late 1960s, and a stint in the heavy metal duo Attila followed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1971, recast as a singer-songwriter, Joel recorded the poorly produced &lt;i class="e"&gt;Cold Spring Harbor&lt;/i&gt; for Family Productions, which locked him into an exploitative long-term contract. Seeking refuge in Los Angeles, he performed under a pseudonym in a local piano bar. Meanwhile, a live recording of Joel's song “Captain Jack” caught the attention of Columbia Records executives, who extricated him from his contract. His first album for Columbia, &lt;i class="e"&gt;Piano Man&lt;/i&gt; (1973), featured a hit single of the same name; based on his piano bar experience, it became his signature song. Mixtures of soul, pop, and rock, &lt;i class="e"&gt;Piano Man&lt;/i&gt; and Joel's subsequent albums—&lt;i class="e"&gt;Streetlife Serenade&lt;/i&gt; (1974) and &lt;i class="e"&gt;Turnstiles&lt;/i&gt; (1976)—earned praise from critics and set the stage for &lt;i class="e"&gt;The Stranger&lt;/i&gt; (1977). Featuring four U.S. hit singles (one of which, “Just the Way You Are,” won Grammy Awards for song of the year and record of the year), it sold five million copies, surpassing Simon and Garfunkel's &lt;i class="e"&gt;Bridge Over Troubled Water&lt;/i&gt; to become Columbia's best-selling album to date.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="assembly"&gt;Joel's string of hit-producing, award-winning platinum albums continued with &lt;i class="e"&gt;52nd Street&lt;/i&gt; (1979), &lt;i class="e"&gt;Glass Houses&lt;/i&gt; (1980), and &lt;i class="e"&gt;The Nylon Curtain&lt;/i&gt; (1982). On the last, Joel, whose lyrics had previously dealt primarily with romance and slices of life, introduced his first socially conscious songs, “Allentown” and “Goodnight Saigon” (about unemployed steel workers and Vietnam War veterans, respectively). In the early 1980s Joel was among the first established rock performers to make music videos. During this period he married supermodel Christie Brinkley (his second marriage; they later divorced). From &lt;i class="e"&gt;An Innocent Man&lt;/i&gt; (1983), his tribute to his doo-wop and vocal group influences, through &lt;i class="e"&gt;Storm Front&lt;/i&gt; (1989) and &lt;i class="e"&gt;River of Dreams&lt;/i&gt; (1993), Joel continued to produce well-received albums. In 1999 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Michael Jackson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SNZ_Z9GCyQI/AAAAAAAAABw/vtRVAwAFOzQ/s1600-h/Michael_Jackson_1984.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SNZ_Z9GCyQI/AAAAAAAAABw/vtRVAwAFOzQ/s400/Michael_Jackson_1984.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248522499620260098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Michael Joseph Jackson&lt;/b&gt; (born August 29, 1958) is an &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States" title="United States"&gt;American&lt;/a&gt; musician, entertainer and businessman. The seventh child of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_family" title="Jackson family"&gt;Jackson family&lt;/a&gt;, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jackson_5" title="The Jackson 5"&gt;The Jackson 5&lt;/a&gt; and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, five of his solo &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_album" title="Studio album"&gt;studio albums&lt;/a&gt; have become some of the world's best-selling records: &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off_the_Wall_%28album%29" title="Off the Wall (album)"&gt;Off the Wall&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (1979), &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thriller_%28album%29" title="Thriller (album)"&gt;Thriller&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (1982), &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_%28album%29" title="Bad (album)"&gt;Bad&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (1987), &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangerous_%28album%29" title="Dangerous (album)"&gt;Dangerous&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (1991) and &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIStory:_Past,_Present_and_Future,_Book_I" title="HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I"&gt;HIStory&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (1995).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_music" title="Popular music"&gt;popular music&lt;/a&gt; and the first &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American" title="African-American" class="mw-redirect"&gt;African-American&lt;/a&gt; entertainer to amass a strong &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_%28music%29" title="Crossover (music)"&gt;crossover&lt;/a&gt; following on &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV" title="MTV"&gt;MTV&lt;/a&gt;. The popularity of his &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_videos" title="Music videos" class="mw-redirect"&gt;music videos&lt;/a&gt; airing on MTV, such as "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_It" title="Beat It"&gt;Beat It&lt;/a&gt;", "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billie_Jean" title="Billie Jean"&gt;Billie Jean&lt;/a&gt;" and &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thriller_%28music_video%29" title="Thriller (music video)"&gt;Thriller&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;—credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_or_White" title="Black or White"&gt;Black or White&lt;/a&gt;" and "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scream/Childhood" title="Scream/Childhood"&gt;Scream&lt;/a&gt;" kept Jackson as a staple on MTV into the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_%28dance%29" title="Robot (dance)"&gt;robot&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonwalk_%28dance%29" title="Moonwalk (dance)"&gt;moonwalk&lt;/a&gt;.

However, other aspects of his personal life—including his &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson%27s_health_and_appearance" title="Michael Jackson's health and appearance"&gt;changing appearance&lt;/a&gt; and eccentric behavior—generated significant controversy which damaged his public image. He was accused of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_child_sexual_abuse_accusations_against_Michael_Jackson" title="1993 child sexual abuse accusations against Michael Jackson"&gt;child sexual abuse in 1993&lt;/a&gt;, the criminal investigation was closed due to lack of evidence and Jackson was not charged. He then married twice and fathered three children, all of which caused further controversy. The singer has experienced &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson%27s_health_and_appearance" title="Michael Jackson's health and appearance"&gt;health concerns&lt;/a&gt; since the early 1990s and conflicting reports regarding the state of his finances since the late 1990s. In 2005, Jackson was &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_v._Jackson" title="People v.

In 1947, he invested US$50,000 in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampex" title="Ampex"&gt;Ampex&lt;/a&gt; company, which developed the world's first commercial &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reel-to-reel_tape_recorder" title="Reel-to-reel tape recorder" class="mw-redirect"&gt;reel-to-reel tape recorder&lt;/a&gt;, and Crosby became the first performer to pre-record his radio shows and master his commercial recordings on magnetic tape. He gave one of the first Ampex Model 200 recorders to his friend, musician &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Paul" title="Les Paul"&gt;Les Paul&lt;/a&gt;, which led directly to Paul's invention of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitrack_recording" title="Multitrack recording"&gt;multitrack recording&lt;/a&gt;. Along with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Sinatra" title="Frank Sinatra"&gt;Frank Sinatra&lt;/a&gt;, he was one of the principal backers behind the famous &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Western_Recorders" title="United Western Recorders"&gt;United Western Recorders&lt;/a&gt; studio complex in Los Angeles.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bing_Crosby#cite_note-4" title=""&gt;[5]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1962, Crosby was the first person to receive the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Lifetime_Achievement_Award" title="Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award"&gt;Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bing_Crosby#cite_note-5" title=""&gt;[6]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Crosby is one of the few people to have three stars on the walk of of fame.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-8627307595322115979?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/8627307595322115979/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=8627307595322115979&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/8627307595322115979'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/8627307595322115979'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2008/09/5-greatest-musicians-ever.html' title='5 Greatest Musicians Ever.'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SNaEhtqBbgI/AAAAAAAAACA/UKBvUwjykMg/s72-c/bhimsen1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-3751553893641364591</id><published>2008-09-12T12:26:00.007+05:30</published><updated>2008-09-12T20:34:32.781+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Useless Blogs &amp; Bloggers.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SMoaTOJhcpI/AAAAAAAAABQ/0w75nKEVRG0/s1600-h/128461099175375000.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xf3TkM30HYg/SMoaTOJhcpI/AAAAAAAAABQ/0w75nKEVRG0/s400/128461099175375000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245033633544237714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone seems to be blogging these days. Me, my neighbor, his dog, etc. But most of these blogs lack quality. My advice to all the new and old bloggers is that, please evaluate yourself. No one is interested if you are &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;fat/thin, psychotic, loserish, or plain gay&lt;/span&gt;. Or if you want a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;boyfriend/ girlfriend&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;No one wants to read about your experiences in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;school, college, workplace, or at the mental&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;hospital&lt;/span&gt;. Your thoughts are plain stupid, keep them to yourself. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;You went to Hawaii for a vacation. So what. We don't want to know about your &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Homosexual conquests&lt;/span&gt; there. Your friends cannot possibly be as bad as you are. But that does not mean we will tolerate looking at their fugly pictures or reading para's of trash description about them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please don't waste cyberspace.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Delete your junk.&lt;/span&gt; (hint = Some people from my class have started blogging.

You can see that i was very talented from a very early age. I have split the essay up into separate sentences so that you can marvel at its beauty and also analyze my writing pattern. One rarely gets to read and learn from the early, unpublished works of a leading literary genius(me). But I know you will enjoy this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Recess. All the calm the kids kept during school                              was let out with squeals, screams and running wildly                              about.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We went out to the playground. I watched in disgust                              as Aditi took a big bite out of her idli sambar which dropped on her shirt, her skirt and the floor.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Suddenly I hear a little wine and a big whale coming                              from behind the slide.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We saw a dog that looked South Indian. He was so dehydrated                              that he gained five pounds when I spit on him. It                              was a black and brown pit bull with fluffy white ears.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The dog was so skinny he couldn't put anything in                              his rib cage.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;His head was the size of a cauldron. The first word                              that came to mind was Hydrocephalous.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fear now filled my body as I saw it. It was more                              horrible than Shalu Aunty.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The next moment it was jumping on us and licking                              on our feces. He was so excited he jumped up and down                              and leaked on us.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rite away I knew it was a boy because of what it                              did to Sunita.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We also could tell it was boy because the boy has                              bigger eyes than the girl.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I thought he was going to lick my friend to death                              but the teacher pulled it off in time.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We were astounded with amazement.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I smuggled the dog into the school. After we fed                              him, the puppy used the bathroom in my book bag.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The teacher looked at the dog's foot. It looked as                              if it were hurt so she banged it up.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We took the dog to the vet and we found out the dog                              had an upper suppository infection.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Then we took a picture of him and blew him up and                              hung him on some poles.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We hung his pitcher, my member and my address.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We hung the flyer on the telephone pole but it flew                              away.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We didn't name the dog because we didn't think it                              would come when it was called, anyway.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;When I was in school the dog got lonely and barfed.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;After it had grown up we let it go free. And the                              first out the yard it got a date.&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;One day it got into a fight with another dog. After                              it was over, the other dog's owner took him to the                              veterinarian to get a prosthetic ear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-1951491850683652935?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/1951491850683652935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=1951491850683652935&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/1951491850683652935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/1951491850683652935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2008/08/lost-puppy.html' title='The Lost Puppy'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-97518829510749677</id><published>2008-07-31T17:18:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2008-07-31T17:23:39.013+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Bodybuilding Myths Busted!</title><content type='html'>- Creatine will not kill you if you take it when you're fifteen. Neither will NO Explode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- People don't really care that much about your progress from 145-146 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Yes, if you're not gaining weight at 140 pounds, eat more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- If you don't like squatting, squat anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Yes, you should work legs and back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- No, you should not have a bicep/arm/chest day, every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- No, you shouldn't lift weight five hours every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- No, you are not going to go from 150-200 pounds in two months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- People don't give a shit if you want a six pack and you HAVE to have one by next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- If you're 140 pounds, don't cut over the summer so that you have a six pack.

It has changed our lives forever. Now we can hope for a better tomorrow and give those nasty dogs a taste of their own medicine (saliva in this case). In India, where dogs are a menace, we must learn this new art to defend ourselves against  those vicious mongrels.  The  ART of  DOG BITING!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I present to you our new Hero and Saviour, Gabriel Almeida!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An 11-year-old boy is enjoying a flash of fame in Brazil after biting a pitbull that attacked him as he played in his uncle's back yard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gabriel Almeida, who lives on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte in the state of Minas Gerais, broke a canine tooth when he bit into the dog's neck to fend off an attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almeida described how he managed to beat the dog at it's own game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When he bit me I bit him back. I wrapped my arm around his neck and started to beat him," he told reporters after the incident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since then, he has been pampered in the studios of several TV stations, where he has been recounting his ordeal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was freed when construction workers from a house next door pulled the dog off him and needed four stitches in his arm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alexandre Guimaraes, who helped save Almeida, explained how they pulled him out of the yard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our priority was to take him (Gabriel Almeida) out of there. We managed to do that, so we brought him out here and left the rest for the police and rescue workers," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The attack frightened the family, who no longer wants any dogs in the house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It (dog) can't come back. We no longer want this dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact we don't want any other dog around here," said the boy's grandmother, Arlinda Almeida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dog, which belonged to the boy's uncle, may have to be put down if the family refuses to take it back in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAPPY DOG BITING,&lt;br /&gt;goodbye,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adwait Deshpande.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-6166612898369398356?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/6166612898369398356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=6166612898369398356&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/6166612898369398356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/6166612898369398356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2008/07/boy-bites-dog.html' title='Boy bites Dog.'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-8643552165575547465</id><published>2008-07-24T19:15:00.004+05:30</published><updated>2008-07-24T19:32:54.178+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Jaane Tu' YA Jaane Trauma.</title><content type='html'>Well i went to see Jaane Tu' with my friends, which was the most stupid thing ever.

I checked out the place last evening. It sells Women Over 40 clothes. For women with Over 40 Inch waists i mean. The owner told me that the name boosts sales(Filthy Bastard). It lures desperate men in and then they have to buy negligees for their over 40 wives to avoid embarrassment. Poor lads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dreams have been crushed, and all my hopes and aspirations for the future have been vaporised. I feel Suicidal.

Tanky&lt;br /&gt;This dude here is the coolest person i have ever met. He is amazingly clever and humble at the same time. He drinks like a fish but thats ok, coz it doesn't affect his brain in ways which it would to normal human beings. He is very helpful most of the times and puts friends before himself. All girls secretly love him but he doesn't know about that yet. Thank god for that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Message to Him- &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Stop acting cool, Dude, coz that just makes you perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Victim 2&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; = Nikhil Basutkar&lt;/span&gt; a.k.a. Battu&lt;br /&gt;Battu belongs to the soccer pitch. Football is the only thing he knows and he knows it well. We named him Battu coz of his surname and his height (below 5 ft.). The Dude just lost his cell so please offer him some condolences if you ever meet him. BTW He is a gem of a friend. I just love to hangout with him coz he is always in a good mood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Message to Him- Grow a moustache ASAP. Stick to soccer and don't ever dare to play tt with me, and you know why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Victim 3 = Abhiram Kannan a.k.a. (himself)&lt;br /&gt;This fat Bastard is useless. You will always find him playing carrom in the recreational room. He has a great sense of humour. He loves to party and to get together with friends and enjoy. We always use abusive language to talk to each other as it is easy to communicate that way. I don't know why some people have a problem with that.  He is a  great swimmer, but a better friend. We always see the funnier side of things and that is why we are such great friends and will continue to be so forever (atleast this year).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Message to Him- Lose some weight. Study a little bit more. Do not stick, to 1 chick (rhyming).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Victim 4 = &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Saurabh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is a good Badminton player and a Karate black-belt. He lives in Gujju-land (mulund) which is nearby so we meet up sometimes and do timepass. He is a scholar (dont know why he came to UICT when he had gotten through BITSAT). He says he is different from others but he doesn't say how(hope he's not gay), although that is accepted nowadays. He is very aggresive and doesn't take jokes-on-self too well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Message to Him- Change the things you can, now, don't look back at the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Victim 5= &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dhananjay Bhandari&lt;/span&gt; a.k.a. DJ&lt;br /&gt;He is a complete nerd. He studies all the time and solves everyone's doubts in class. Doesn't pretend to be someone he is not. He also plays soccer well. He is extremely thin and needs some fat implants. He rarely comes to movies, malls, theme parks with us (don't know why). He is a complete workaholic and needs to have some fun in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Message to Him- Gain Muscle weight. Study a little less and play a little more. Hangout with us sometimes. Wear Teenage Clothes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later,&lt;br /&gt;You Readers and "FAN(S)" of my BLOG,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adios.&lt;br /&gt;Adwait Deshpande&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-7676180638766956?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/7676180638766956/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=7676180638766956&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/7676180638766956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/7676180638766956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2008/03/my-friends-at-uict-we-bunch-of-losers.html' title='My Friends at UICT - &quot;we bunch of losers&quot;'/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-1332421893432679982</id><published>2008-01-27T21:21:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2008-01-27T21:55:56.923+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Please DONT read this.</title><content type='html'>Since absolutely no one reads what i write, i am gonna slip a few secrets about me here, and also bust some common myths about me that i would let no one know. Without wasting anymore time, here i go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1&gt; Behind that "i don't give a @#$%" attitude, lies a sensitive, caring, helpful, noble, philosophical, innocent young mind which cannot see others suffer and I cannot sleep at night thinking of how cruel the world is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2&gt; I am not a GYM type of guy. I would rather spend my time among books, gathering knowledge about all possible things, and sharpening my already intellectual mind to incredible proportions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3&gt; My aim in life is not to have a nice, muscular body(with 6 packs), but to study hard, get a good job and support my parents in their old age. (If they don't kick me out before that)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4&gt; I do not think women are the weaker sex. In fact women can bear more pain than men, and certainly work harder that men if they want to. But i still do not understand why they lift disgustingly light weights in the gym.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5&gt; I NEVER LIE, unless i have to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6&gt; I insult, humiliate, and ridicule people all the time, but i feel sorry for them for exactly 7 seconds after i have committed the deed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7&gt; I Believe in GOD.

She looked at me and made a threatening gesture; now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the market-place and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" &gt;- Jeffery Archer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28979873-8314040774731467700?l=nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/feeds/8314040774731467700/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28979873&amp;postID=8314040774731467700&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/8314040774731467700'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28979873/posts/default/8314040774731467700'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nerd17-mystory.blogspot.com/2006/11/all-those-who-read-archer-might-already.html' title=''/><author><name>Adwait Deshpande</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28979873.post-756380493018019050</id><published>2006-10-01T14:24:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2006-10-16T22:16:11.106+05:30</updated><title type='text'>In Da School</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This is a song created by some ex- student of Smt.

Here are a few of the passages in dispute:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Best Friend&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bridget is my age and lives across the street. For the first twelve years of my life, these qualifications were all I needed in a best friend. But that was before Bridget's braces came off and her boyfriend, Burke, got on, and before Hope and I met in our seventh-grade honors class.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;''Sloppy Firsts," page. 7&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Priscilla was my age and lived two blocks away. For the first fifteen years of my life, those were the only qualifications I needed in a best friend. We had first bonded over our mutual fascination with the abacus in a playgroup for gifted kids. But that was before freshman year, when Priscilla's glasses came off, and the first in a long string of boyfriends got on.&lt;/p&gt;'Opal &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Mehta&lt;/span&gt;," page 14&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Bad Boy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The other thing about Marcus is that &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;crackheaded&lt;/span&gt; girls who don't know any better think he's sexy. I don't see it. He's got dusty reddish dreads that a girl could never run her hands through. His eyes are always half-shut. His lips are usually curled into a semi-smile, like he's in on a big joke that's being played on you but you don't know it yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;''Sloppy Firsts," page 23&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just about every girl, from the A list &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;HBz&lt;/span&gt; to the &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;stoner&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;hoochies&lt;/span&gt;, thought he was sexy. The weird thing was, I didn't see it. He had too-long shaggy brown hair that fell into his eyes, which were always half-shut. His mouth was always curled into a half smile, like he knew about some big joke that was about to be played on you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;''Opal &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Mehta&lt;/span&gt;," page 48&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Personal Space&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marcus then leaned across me to open the passenger-side door. He was invading my personal space, as I had learned in Psych class, and I instinctively sank back into the seat. That just made him move in closer. I was practically one with the leather at this point, and unless I hopped into the backseat, there was nowhere else for me to go.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;''Sloppy Firsts," page 213&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sean stood up and stepped toward me, ostensibly to show me the book. He was definitely invading my personal space, as I had learned in a Human Evolution class last summer, and I instinctively backed up till my legs hit the chair I had been sitting in. That just made him move in closer, until the grommets in the leather embossed the backs of my knees, and he finally tilted the book toward me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;''Opal &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Mehta&lt;/span&gt;," page 175&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Shopping&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, four major department stores and 170 specialty shops later, we were done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;''Sloppy Firsts," page 237&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Five department stores, and 170 specialty shops later, I was sick of listening to her hum along to Alicia &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Keyes&lt;/span&gt;, and worn out from resisting her efforts to buy me a pink tube top emblazoned with a glittery Playboy bunny.&lt;/p&gt;''Opal &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Mehta&lt;/span&gt;," page 51.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE’&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 6 of McCafferty’s first novel: “Sabrina was the &lt;em&gt;brainy&lt;/em&gt; Angel. Yet another example of how every girl had to be one or the other: Pretty or smart. Guess which one I got. You’ll see where it’s gotten me.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 39 of Viswanathan’s novel: “Moneypenny was the &lt;em&gt;brainy&lt;/em&gt; female character. Yet another example of how every girl had to be one or the other: smart or pretty. I had long resigned myself to category one, and as long as it got me to Harvard, I was happy. Except, it hadn’t gotten me to Harvard. Clearly, it was time to switch to category two.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;‘SOMETHING SO RANDOM’ &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 217 of McCafferty’s first novel: “But then he tapped me on the shoulder, and said something so random that I was afraid he was back on the junk.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 142 of Viswanathan’s novel: “...he tapped me on the shoulder and said something so random I worried that he needed more expert counseling than I could provide.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NO TENSION TO COMPLICATE’ &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 223 of McCafferty’s first novel: “Marcus finds me completely nonsexual. No tension to complicate our whatever relationship. I should be relieved.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From pages 175 and 176 of Viswanathan’s novel: “Sean only wanted me as a friend. A nonsexual female friend. That was a good thing. There would be no tension to complicate our relationship and my soon-to-be relationship with Jeff Akel. I was relieved.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;‘SWEET AND WOODSY’ &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 46 of McCafferty’s first novel: “He smelled sweet and woodsy, like cedar shavings.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 147 of Viswanathan’s novel: “...I had even begun to recognize his cologne (sweet and woodsy and spicy, like the sandalwood key chains sold as souvenirs in India.)”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;SOME SIMILARITIES TO ‘SECOND HELPINGS’ &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;‘TO BUY DIET COKES FROM’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 67 of McCafferty’s second novel: “...but in a truly sadomasochistic dieting gesture, they chose to buy their Diet Cokes at Cinnabon.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 46 of Viswanathan’s novel: “In a truly masochistic gesture, they had decided to buy Diet Cokes from Mrs. Fields...”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;‘PINK TUBE TOP EMBLAZONED WITH A GLITTERY PLAYBOY BUNNY’&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 68 of McCafferty’s second novel: “‘Omigod!’ shrieked Sara, taking a pink tube top emblazoned with a glittery Playboy bunny out of her shopping bag.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 51 of Viswanathan’s novel: “...I was sick of listening to her hum along to Alicia Keys, and worn out from resisting her efforts to buy me a pink tube top emblazoned with a glittery Playboy bunny.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EXTRA POUNDS TURN UP IN BRA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 69 of McCafferty’s second novel: “Throughout this conversation, Manda acted like she couldn’t have been more bored. She lazily skimmed her new paperback copy of &lt;em&gt;Reviving Ophelia&lt;/em&gt;—she must have read the old one down to shreds. She just stood there, popping another piece of Doublemint, or reapplying her lip gloss, or slapping her ever-present pack of Virginia Slims against her palm. (Insert oral fixation jokes, here, here and &lt;em&gt;here&lt;/em&gt;.) Her hair—usually dishwater brown and wavy—had been straightened and bleached the color of sweet corn since the last time I saw her...Just when I thought she had maxed out on hooter hugeness, it seemed that whatever poundage Sara had lost over the summer had turned up in Manda’s bra.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 48 of Viswanathan’s novel: “The other HBz acted like they couldn’t be more bored. They sat down at a table, lazily skimmed heavy copies of Italian &lt;em&gt;Vogue&lt;/em&gt;, popped pieces of Orbit, and reapplied layers of lip gloss. Jennifer, who used to be a bit on the heavy side, had dramatically slimmed down, no doubt through some combination of starvation and cosmetic surgery. Her lost pounds hadn’t completely disappeared, though; whatever extra pounds she’d shed from her hips had ended up in her bra. Jennifer’s hair, which I remembered as dishwater brown and riotously curl, had been bleached Clairol 252: Never Seen in Nature Blonde. It was also so straight it looked washed, pressed and starched.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SHIRT ALERT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 88 of McCafferty’s second novel: “By the way, Marcus wore a T-shirt that said THURSDAY yesterday, and FRIDAY today.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From page 170 of Viswanathan’s novel: “He was wearing an old, faded gray sweatshirt that said ‘Tuesday’ on it. Except that today was Thursday.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Coincidence or Copying?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets us all imagine the humiliation and mockery that &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Kaavya&lt;/span&gt; would face in Harvard.&lt;br /&gt;This teaches all young wannabe authors not to copy others works for a quick buck.&lt;br /&gt;You will definitely be caught. Let us further examine the audacity of &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Kaavya&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Viswanathan&lt;/span&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Washington post has also discovered similarities between &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;Viswanathan's&lt;/span&gt; book and Sophie &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;Kinsella's&lt;/span&gt; "Can You Keep a Secret?" Also Tuesday, the Crimson reported it had found other sections where "Opal &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;Mehta&lt;/span&gt;" echoed Rushdie's "Haroun and the Sea of Stories" and Meg Cabot's book "The Princess Diaries."&lt;/p&gt;How did she get into Harvard if she could not understand such blatant consequences of her actions??? (it ruined her life and any chances of her being an author.)&lt;br /&gt;This shows us how important moral values and ethics are in ones life. One must not be carried away by instant success on fickle grounds. You are bound to fall and getting up isnt all that easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

earnestness about the alleged US mole at former prime minister PV Narasimha Rao's PMO after former external affairs minister Jaswant Singh made a mention about him in his book titled A Call to Honour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Jaswant Singh has dropped broad hints. He has said that the person was an 'uncivil' civil servant. But he has not yet disclosed the name.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;At a time when the Indo-US relations are at an all-time high, there is a risk that Jaswant's comments might make a difference. He has already been dared by Prime Minister Manmohan SIngh to come out in the open with the name.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;But then why is Jaswant Singh not making the name public if he has enough evidence to back his claims? Does he really know who the mole is? Does he have enough evidence?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;He says he has already told the name to the top two leaders of the BJP - Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L K Advani.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"

wait of more than two days 5 year old Prince has been rescued on sunday evening from the bottom of a 53 foot and 1.5 feet wide shaft in Shahbad, Haryana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prince, who turned 6 during the ordeal, had fallen into the deep, narrow shaft that was left uncovered by workers in Haldheri village on friday evening while he was playing near it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 10px 0px;"&gt;The shaft had been dug for a submersible tube well.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 10px 0px;"&gt;Experts from the 65 Engineer Regiment of the Army’s Ambala-based 2 Corps supervised the rescue operation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 10px 0px;"&gt;Officials said Prince displayed "tremendous survival instincts" by remaining calm in the pit, something that also made the task of the rescuers easier.&lt;/p&gt;Army personnel dug a 56-feet deep, 15-feet wide parallel tunnel from a dried up well alongside the shaft to rescue Prince after almost 50 hours   &lt;p style="margin: 10px 0px;"&gt;A soldier finally reached Prince a little before 1900 hrs IST. The tunnel was then widened so that the boy could be pulled to safety.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 10px 0px;"&gt;The rescuer first provided the kid with food and glucose and a doctor examined him before he was brought up.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 10px 0px;"&gt;A doctor said Prince might need counseling to overcome the trauma of being trapped in a pit for so long, but pictures beamed by CCTV cameras showed his condition improved as the rescuers boosted his morale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MY VIEWS&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;In a country with a population of over a 100 million, the life of a 6 year old boy from a humble background, doesnt seem worth much.But the Army and the Government's efforts to save the life of one, such as Prince is commendable, although it wouldnt be given the same consideration without the intervention of the media according to me. Therefore the efforts of the media in bringing this story to the forefront and covering it so extensively at the cost of their air time must also be applauded.&lt;br /&gt;(Although some B- grade news channels overdid it as always.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The boy himself must be applauded for holding on to life for so long and  not losing his head when all about him were losing theirs. (Not everybody mind you, but over-eager journalists and by-standers of-course)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The 65 engineer regiment of Ambala worked day and night to rescue the boy.Surprisingly no media person was eager to interview them, but they harried the boy's parents who were as confused as everyone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway after 2 long days of digging and shoving, Prince was rescued from the pit of death, and  finally emerged victorious in the battle of life in kurukshetra [incidentally.(?!!!)]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span

type='text'>Ankit ki phatti pant!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;An interesting incident took place on wednesday.There was a fight between Ankit and Shaurya(mentioned in earlier post) during recess.Ankit's left leg was caught between two benches and his jeans tore in the form of a &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;V shape&lt;/span&gt; on his left thigh.We all scolded &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Shaurya&lt;/span&gt; who is a very &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;naughty boy&lt;/span&gt; and always does these kinda things.&lt;br /&gt;Another thing i am confused about is related to a girl in our college called &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Ankita&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Everybody (especially &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Sharan and Shaurya&lt;/span&gt;) say that she is acting weird and giving them the cold shoulder, and so they wont give her any bhaav, but as soon as she comes to college they start chatting with her and what not....&lt;br /&gt;This is really confusing and if you have been observing this trend contact me at 9819040356 and we will discuss it.I will tell you my real opinions about this and evrything else cause its too controversial to be published here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

flat=1 room kitchen;no. of people= 11 !!!).My turn came a about 8:30 and i was ready by nine.We reached the punyai hall by 10 am.Almost all of the rituals were over by then.Had breakfast.After loitering about for half an hour we discovered that the bride's cousins had stolen Chinmays shoes and had hidden them in their room.Since it was unethical to enter their premises we could not retrieve them.I had lunch at bout 1 pm.All the close relatives were to eat at last at about 2 pm.Then the bus arrived at 3:30 pm and we reached Chinmay's house at 7 pm.After some more rituals i had a light dinner and i went home.Finally the day had come to an end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Marriage is the perfection of

/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have found the time to blog after a long interval.I shall narrate to u the incidents since june 1.The kelkars(chinmays family) had arranged for a bus frome thane to pune.It was to leave at about 1:30 pm, but due to some problems we were an hour late.We were to pick up friends and relatives along the way.As we had to pickup the kulkarnis in panvel (kelkar,s family friends) , so we could not connect to the expressway before panvel and had to go into the city.We picked them up and made our way, but there was a hell lot of traffic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After an hour in the traffic we finally got through it.Just then a group of ruffians got into our bus and stopped it.They claimed that our bus had scraped their car.They even called 15-20 goondas(mafia men) with lathis to beat the driver up.After half an hour of haggling and reasoning with them they accepted Rs.2000 and let us go.We had to give them our address and phone no.s.We were 3 hrs late to pune and the ladkiwaale feared that we might be backing out of the marriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We changed our clothes quickly after entered the hall and the bhattji(wedding maker)&lt;br /&gt;started the ceremonies quickly.After the puja was over we had dinner and then their was a classical music program after that.It ended at !2:30 AM.Then we went to Sunanda Atyas flat nearby with Grandpa, Grandma and the Apte family. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
