You`ve been Textified

Thinking what the hell is this new word and where did it came from???
well dont press your brains too much because it aint` something which
my B.k mates are not aware of. Even if they think at this point that
they have no clue of what i am talking about then ask them this.What happens wheneveryou say something that attracts attention of 3 persons or more. Yeah they are right ..They get textified.
Textified( adj):say something and people will quote it on Facebook
yeah that`s where this word originated.Call it the curse of technology
or its boon ,this is how the world has changed since the discovery
of TEXTifying people. Be it any brawl that took in a hidden corner , which no one knew of, to any public debates in which at least one person was slaughtered to hidden stories about friends to full fledged wars , all have been found quoted on our very own facebook. The Advantage Factor: now one need not be in college to know of the events that happens with collegues, you just need a full time internet connection to know of what happened and when.
Believe me , once this trend starts , i bet the one on facebook will be more aware of happenings in college that those physically being there

Yeah that is the charm of being Textified

WWW....... its a Weird Wired World

[Disclaimer: All the content mentioned here is purely for the purpose of entertainment ,It has no intention to distort image of any individual or any company ]


Some call it Internet.
Some call it Nuisance
Some call it WWW
Some call it "triple double U" [lolz..]
But to me its a Weird Wired World.

Why??
For a next page and a half I will share my views as to why I find this really awesome invention as I Labeled it.

Through the net we hook on the world of information getting almost anything any information we desire.[crap..everybody knows that]
But do we know what price do we pay for this so called information we avail?
No,Its not the cost of connection I am talking about,that`s materialistic, the price we pay for this information is our 'PRIVACY '[in bold in quotes and in capital letters]

Now u`ll say how come it invades our privacy? Well .. Each of us have been storing our personal information on the net in some form or the other, be it social networking sites, Chat clients , pictures, photographs,sms servers in short anything that tells what you are as an individual.



Situation :A guy was searching for some information over the net and he received an Sms for the same the other day although he did not ask for.
For those who are still confused as to what I just said this is what happened.He Logged on to his mail. parallely in another tab he was searching for some information on EXCEL spreadsheet.And later in the day he receive`s an SMS over some training institute that trains one in using EXCEL, not even did He receive the information but his friends too got the same sms, And he was wondering how the hell did all of them receive the info he was searching over the net?
Then he found the link to connect the dots...he was logged onto his mail account, so the search engine where he clicked for the information knew who was searching the information he has an online account to send free sms, where he has stored his contact no. as well that of his friends for the purpose of Sms`ing them.And hence the whole circle is completed

I think we all got a picture over what the above situation is all about...


Surely this does not harm us in any manner , infact, at times it helps us providing relevant information which at times proves to be very helpful to us in times of emergency or adversity and for this purpose i say
Its a Weird Wired World.

tumhara khoon khoon aur humara khoon nariyal-pani

scene 1: part I:
Three guys going on a single bike on a road which is fortified with the scores of policemen who are just waiting like hungry vulture.
They are spotted violating this traffic law and promptly asked license, P.U.C before being handed over a fine memo that says ..."dude Sunday ki masti bhool jaa ye hari patti(rs.100 ) to gayi!!"

part II:
A traffic policeman dropping his TWO of the family members to some place in the city on a bike which is strictly for official use.When he passes over the aforesaid traffic wall , not a soul moves to stop him, in fact, a nice smile is given back!!!

which gets me saying "tumhara khoon khoon humara khoon nariyal-pani"


Scene 2 :
2 guys find that being single is fun and it is very hazardous to have a creature called GF come near them.

Guy A comes in contact with the above mentioned creature,roams with her but does it tactfully keeping his friends ignorant of it.

Guy B also does something similar.

One day Guy A spots Guy B with his GF on a bike bamm!!!!
Allegationsstart " sale gaddar... tu to bolta tha ki ladki ke chakkar mein nahi padega!!! aur pada bhi to kisi bhi dost ko bataya bhi nahi.
aisa karte zara bhi sharam nahi aayi.. kumse kum bata to sakta tha na ki abb tu single nahi raha ...
bla blA bla
Guy B feels like bad that he betrayed his clan and feels sad but suddenly...

Guy C comes "abe chotu(refering to guy A).... kal kaha tha be ... Himalaya mall mein dekha tha tujhe... kaun thi wo ladki..?? bahut dino se dekh raha hu.. koi GF mil gai hain kya!!!"

bamb bammb!!!! Guy B: Achchha to iss wajah se tu itne dino se kum kum dikhai de raha hian..
volleyball khelene bhi nahi aata .. abb pata chala sale teri so called " family meetings" kaha jati hain.....

ye to wahi baat ho gayi "tumhara khoon khoon humara khoon nariyal-pani"


Sometimes we become hypocrite, it may be that we are unaware of it and do it .. sometimes its intentional.While being hypocrite in ignorance is no excuse, doing so knowingly is something which one should worry about.Its like cheating your own self.keeping double standards may bring you company but in wont bring you the Respect that you would get by standing by what one says.

comments welcomed...

subah ho gayi mamu!!

Here I was sitting in train waiting for my destination to arrive thinking how much long will it take to reach. This is when I noticed the watch of a beautiful girl sitting in the next row seat. Yes for a change I noticed her watch rather than her face. :-) the dial was huge. big enough for anybody sitting in 10 feet distance to be able to read. It showed time which when I checked with mine, was 10 mins ahead of actual time....strange! I said to myself. Then I noticed the watch of guy sitting next to me,his was 15 mins ahead of actual time. strange strange. Although I also keep my mobile watch time 5 mins ahead of actual. I found it unusual. Upon pondering over this , I felt why do people; including me ,do not have correct time. Some say its human psychology to react instantly to what one sees. Keeping the watch ahead helps them manage their activities in time. I think the same way, that's why I also do the same. But then I think why not plan our activities in a manner so that we do not have to fool our own self. By proper planning we can be punctual disciplined and work by the watch without manipulating it. Well that's difficult.. The thing is we are now so used to fooling around that we even fool our brains. Here's one example; watch is ahead of actual time by 15 mins. We have an early morning appointment at 8. We are required to wake at 6 in order to reach at the meeting. so we keep alarm of 6 knowing that its early by 15 mins. then when it rings in morning . we say its ahead by 15 mins. let me take a small 15 Min nap. so you sleep again and in the end sometimes end up waking up late by 15 mins . :-) .Tried to fool the brain but you made it lazy. how? lets analyze it. Had the watch been correct time showing, then you would have had to wake up when the alarm did ring and not snooze it by 15 mins. Somewhere down the line these are small steps towards getting lazy. One may argue that it helps "reLIVE" the time by which your watch is ahead. Well fair argument but then who are we trying to fool? for those who do not follow this practice and reach places at dot time ,this may not be relevant ,but I must say, there are many who do this. This habit leads up to miss the time deadline more often than not. And probably its this long series of events that have made our standard time, so called "The IST " a time which refers not to actual time but 30 mins late. . .

See the scenario in colleges.. how often have you seen the lecture starting at exactly the mentioned time?? Most of the time they start late. Many of us reach in lectures after the starting time, sometime missing due to traffic of at times due to Tea break. ;) aaah my fav.

Its strange but if things worked in sync , if all our watches showed the exact same time and if we all are punctual the problems of lectures starting late, and all other official works would be competed as planned. To Many If`s right.

Strangely one never or hardly finds the problem of punctuality hampering our casual activities,one may also say the in casual events and activities one is never needed to be punctual.

So the whole point boils down to just one question, "Is my, reaching on time actually going to affect the meeting in any manner...???" and more often than not the answer to this is _________

I leave it up to the readers to fill in the blank.....

My 'Chai' My way.... Kitley


Professor:"And for the next two hours we would be discussing....."
Student(in mind):Kya pakkau lecture hai... aana hi nahi chaiye tha.. attendence ka panga nai hota to aata hi nahi.. kab khatam hoga ye lecture....
tik tik tik tik...
...
Seema bhi nahi aayi.... upar se aaj hi late hona tha.. ppiche ki seat milti to kum se kum soo to leta,1st bench pe wo bhi nahi kar sakta.. sala din hi kharab hai ....


Spent a boring lecture in class?? Have submissions ?? Exams approaching..??Tensed...??Hungry...got nothing to do...???
amidst all these events there is one particular activity which is probably most satisfying...
Its a magical one, one only needs to say the magic word '..........'and the rest is evident..
Followers of this clan are present in every nook and corner of the country, from a small college to a big university, form a university bus-stop to railway station, even the airports have traces of this largest unorganized service ....

Yes... Its "Kitley"

People who don`t drink tea find it really amusing how can a person drink so much liquid (for them its just a liquid). The fact is 'Chai' , although believed to be,by quite a few ;as an addiction is really not the case.
Its has many benefits of which i`ll mention a few (for medicinal one`s Google it yourself self)
  • Its better than any lecture
  • Helps you pass time very easily, you can sit there for hours just talking.
  • If you were just discussing something, Kitley does not force you to vacate seats
  • You can easily spot its followers just by saying the "K" word.(Not the Ekta Kapoor wala K )
  • Can relax even when one has tonne`s of pressure over one`s mind(submissions, exams , placements, boring lecture)
The list is non exhaustive.Some of the most important discussions take over at Kitley.The debates which goes on can be compared to "The Big Fight courtesy:NTDV". The knowledge which is shared here is far greater than one can get by googling.Here you can discuss almost anything without thinking of being overheard, be it anybody`s tragic love life, home dispute, faculty student wars, conspiracy ,hot girls(oooo....), cool boys(this topic is for the girls who come to Kitley!!)

One may argue that CCD`s Coffee Culture, Barista n bla bla are a tough competition to K but its not the case, no matter how much one visits these places with AC`s and comfort , they can never match " Kitley " (That`s all folks for a while,for now i have to go for a CHAI@Kitley.This will be eleborated more in the next post)

Amdavadi Roller coaster

How many of you have spent 100`s of rupees , waiting in the queue to sit in the Essel World`s rides or for that matter any Theme Park ride..???? Most might have gone specially to have this experience.
But for the aam Amdavadi(a.k.a A Mango Amdavadi ), this is almost a daily affair.Now for those of you wondering when the hell did an amusement park come-up in Amdavad... Its one of the best rides that you can get for price of partly few rupees and the experience .. OMG... even Disney theme park would not be able to provide this kind of an experience. Still wondering what I am referring to? Here`s another clue. It can be deemed as one of the longest rides that can be built and it spans to every nook and corner of the city.(still thinking!!! have a Chlormint and Dimag ki Batti shayad jale)

Here`s the answer A.M.T.S(Ahemdavad Municipal Transport Service)(aahhh.... and you thought you did not know this !!!)

For those who have traveled through the cheapest (in terms of money) transport, knows now what i am referring to.
Board any bus during the peak hours and you learn all the dance steps without even moving a single part of your body.All you got to do us just climb in it( don`t think I am kidding !!)
If you think you have managed to do it , don't feel relaxed, this is just a beginning , Step 2 next herculean task is paying for the ticket.(now what`s wrong in paying for the cheapest ticket??) The cheapness itself is a problem. You tender a Rs. 10 note saying you do not have change and you will promptly be asked to get off the bus( must be wondering what the hell just happened??what did I do wrong?) The conductor says he does not have change(he`s actually right though, tendering change to all the travellers is almost impossible)
Even after you scrap through all your empty pockets finding few coins and buy the fare, the fun does not end here.The real fun begins now.The Driver.. probably he has the loudest horn in the city and the only place he finds it to blow in is your ears,the way he drives the giant 6 wheeler in the narrow streets of Amdavad,one would feel as if a F1 driver is driving his Ferrari and the experience, like I mentioned earlier,even Disney will find it difficult to provide.The way the Bus moves , barely missing the passing vehicles by inches, you will probably start reciting the names of all the Gods in the world(no wonder god`s have sleepless "Baporia" , afternoon sleeps)

All the thrill mentioned above lasts only minutes(what!!!) yes minutes.The speed of the bus is breath stopping , no soul dare`s to overtake this mammoth.And when someone does, Just read the news paper next day to find his pic in some hospital ward.

Everything said and done ... AMTS is the lifeline of Amdavad,just like the suburban local trains of Mumbai, no matter how late it arrives, once you board it, it will surely drop you to your destination.(literally...)(phew!!!)

Who am I?


Each morning when I see ET(Economic Times) and read news about some big merger or some some billionaire entrepreneur spending their hard earned money , like Ambanis spending crores of rupees gifting Jumbo Jets and Yacht`s to their spouses to Malaya`s fulfilling dream of India`s very own F1 team , I wonder 'Mera bhi din aayega' and then my next 10 minutes passes by wondering of how and what I will do to realize those dreams.But then a Questions comes and knocks the door of my empty mind and I ask myself... 'WHO AM I ?'

A track form ''SCRUBS" humm over my mind which goes....."I can't do this all on my own. No, I know, I'm no superman." That`s when the whole point comes of believing in yourself.And that`s the simplest and the most basic thing one needs to do.Readers often say ...... Easy to say, hard to do, and then I`m prompted react;hey buddy , even you are 'Saying' [:)]
So whenever one seems to loose his/her confidence and think 'Who am I ?'..... just remember all you got to do is believe and say this golden verse
"Karambhoomi mera aangan, Terrace mera yeh neel gagan, Ee poora duniya mera Watan, My name is Murugan........QuickGun Murugan !!!Mind it!! I say" oops !! u need to say your name :p
