The Lesson

tell me, what's the worst curse for men?
...
...
...
still thinking??? it's very easy... the answer is to accompany a woman while shopping.
people who do not agree with me, should try it once and ur opinion would definitely change. and the men who agree with me, must have gone through some unfortunate experiences like me..

I knew it... but I had a vague idea. I used to think that this happens only if we accompany mother or some aunts, even some friends or elder sisters also causes the same thing. but I was damn sure that my younger sisters won't make me go through this.
so the naive me agreed when my cousin, who just sat for H.S. exam this year, asked me to take her to do some shopping. we went to the mall...and started browsing.. to buy 1 shirt and 1 t-shirt for me and she got 5 paiece of garments. and it took sort of 2 hours. but we must have covered atleast 10 kms. seems unbelievable????ok...
let me give u a quick description of yesterday.

we went in. and started seeing somethings we were least bothered to buy and neither have the money to buy. then we started checking some homemaker's stuff. finally after 30 to 45 mins we went to the upstairs to see the garments. ( i just realized it's impossible for me to recollect that shocking experience)

finally we went out with our aching legs and came back

I learnt a very important lesson..
wemen!!. be they 2 years or 12 or 20 or 42 or 70 , they all have the innate capacity do shopping and more browsing than shopping and they specially browse the things that they had no intention to buy. and the things that they buy, they choose after seeing hundred others and they try that 4 to 5times... and if u want to escape this , donate the content of ur wallet to them and go catch a movie. by this time the movie ends, they may finish..
(I think that's why the multiplexes are situated adjacent to the shopping malls)...and if they haven't yet, pray!!!!!

The Gadget Mutiny, 2006

I knew it was to happen oneday, but I had no idea that it'd be just 1 month before the exam. but then, it's the best strategy to strike when ur enemy is busy with something else. and the electronic gadgets of my home take the full advantages of the study leave before my exams!!!

guess who's the leader??bang on!!!it's the thing i'm composing this post from!!!MY COMP...I wrote about the problems it cause in some posts.. but now the scene is different.. earlier it used to cause problems for which I had to call a mechanic over and fix it. but not now!! now it's showing me that it has it's own mind and won't do anything unless it wants to do that.. what??u need an explaination??here it is...

around a week ago, it suddenly said that my sound card is having some problem and so I could not lay any songs. I thought may be...but just to prove me wrong the next day, it starts working finely....I was happy thinking that it's been fixed. but no!!!the next time I switched on the PC, sound device was not working again...it was like this since this morning..and I was even started to think that may be it has some problems and I should call help..and guss what???I'm listening to music in it for last 1 hr...
not only that, sometimes, it shows that the sound device is working finely, but when I play a song....it just doesn't play it...
(and I'm not saying anything about the it's swinging moods when the firefox stops responding!!!)

but may be I could do with that. but no, my comp has spread the word of revolution to all my households gadgets.. and as a result starting from my scientific calculator to my music system....everyone has joined the non-co operation movement!!!

My music system..the beautiful 2000 watts sony one.. it has excellent report of conduct. but not anymore... now most of the time I try to play a CD, it says there's a mechanical error.. but without doing anything, it plays the songs sometime later..

the refrigerator, a vetera one..has also joined them.. and though it doesn't causes much trouble, once it took 36 hours to set up an ice cream!!!

the calculator!!!!!uff!! that day at the exam hall I switched it on, it it started showing meaningless signs...even colours of rainbow!!!but after I fought a bit with it, it gave in and starts doing maths like a good boy!!!

I bought a device, which can make good froth using milk and sugar, thinking that it can make wonderful coffee. and just after using 2 times....it has stopped working.

the wareless phone...two days ago, we found that the balance is 100 rs less than it should be, though after talking to the customer care all my family members think that it's my 10 yrs old cousin who's responsible for this by calling some voice service, I highly doubt.. I think my pc must have convinced my goody goody phone to join them and reap us off all our balances...but I think it has left their allies after my sis threw the phone on knowing the missing balance thing...

there are still more...we had a desktop calender like electronic thing... which always start chiming at 2 or 3 am. and says that someone has fixed alarm to do so.. u want to believe it????

the last one to join the gang is my vcd come mp3 player. well, it was night time...I was gonna play some 'exciting' movie. and...due to the revolution all I could see was some passing still pictures....and frustration came in place of excitation!!!
but the next time it works finely...

so all they want is to bug me constantly!!!and they are not telling their demands to me. so I dnt know what to do. anyway, one piece of good advice before putting an end to this,
beware!!!!my comp may connect to ur comp using the internet. and if it can convince ur one to join their side, u r also in trouble like me!!! so do something and suggest some ways by which I can put this damn mutiny off!!!!

The World is Spinning

I had flu...(due to drinking ice tea with 11 ice cubes at 10pm)...i was sneezing like hell the whole monday...so i took 2 tabs fot the cold...but as I couldn't sleep in college, they couldn't work....so I took another in afternoon....it worked a bit...but the temperature remained....so I took a tab for fever at night....then another in the next morning...
so i was fit by tuesday 11am...but on that very day after waking up from my afternoon nap i saw the room revolving 5 complete turns...It was wonderful!!!As if I got stonned!!!

I didn't care and went out to library for which i had to walk around 15 mins....

at evening, i went out with a friend to another one's place....and again ....
at night while chatting, I noticed it again...
one of my friend asked me to measure it in RPM....and i carefully count that my brain is rotating at 12-15 rpm..he asked me to put a brake in my neck and said that it had worked for him...but as i'm unware of how a brake works...i couldn't do that....
went to sleep early....but then for a change decided to study a bit...so I studied...then saw some exciting movie....
and tried to sleep...
and I developed sea sickness...
i had to, after all my bed was riding the waves and the motion was constant....
when i woke up 45 mins ago, i saw the waves have clamed down....but there's a bit of motion...
I got off the bed, thought of walking on the sea but couldn't find it anywhere, came online and start blogging....

(p.s. i think i'm becoming an incorrigible blogger, coz last night while riding the waves in my bed i was thinking about how shall i put all these in this post!!!)

moral of the story:
You are alive if you are moving.
My brain has resurrected...(no wonder some people celebrated easter somedays ago)

Feynman says....

All the time you’re saying to yourself, “I could do that, but I won’t”—which is just another way of saying that you can’t.

The Latest Virus Attack on My PC

got a mock practical exam today.. so I just woke up and started going through my lab files...currently sitting in front of the PC with 2 lab copies on my lap. but today i found something unusual, in fact highly suspicious!!!
it started with logging in my net account..generally it logs me in automatically, but today I find the cursor is running in the id field ceaselessly and then in the password field, too. naturally, it said 'invalid id/password' . however, I managed to log in typing the correct ones.. but then when i click yahoo messenger icon, the same thing happened, and then with Google, my home page.. the cursor was running endlessly at the search field...

I understood that my PC was getting attacked by a deadly virus.. locked the internet immediately, and tried to scan the hard drives. but there, too, the same thing was happening. I give up!!! and started to surfing ...

and then I saw the virus... a lab copy of mine was placed in such a way, that a part of it was resting on the space bar....and the cursor was running!!!!

naturally, I removed the virus with my bare hands... and started sharing this with you all...

BEWARE OF THE 'SPACE BAR' VIRUS!!!

THE MORNING SAGA

first of all I'm apologizing to you all as I'm posting very little these days. but exam time is coming nearer..and loads to study along with numerous lab copies to write...naturally, even in my dream I saw people writing lab copies sitting in the canteen!!!:((

anyway, started getting up early(usually I wake up at 8 30, but not now!!) to do all these works...and according to "the monk ho sold his ferrari" I tell my reluctant mind and body to get up from bed thinking about the ultimate outcome...it works, but for a better result I give alarm in the music system...(it sprangs to life and start singing Tagore songs) and also I tell me that if I get up, I'd have a glassful of iced tea..(this always works!!!)

so today I managed to get my body detached from the be (it seemed that someone had applied favicol between my body and the bed, it was damn tough to get up); brushed my teeth and made the ice tea...
there it was ...the wonderfully coloured liquid along with 9 or 10 ice cubes in the glass- a bend straw was inside the glass (and I had also mixed some cinnamon in this tea)...I took the glass in my hand...uhh!!!it felt like heaven...and then....
....
....
In front of my mesmerised eyes the bottom og the glass fell down as if someone has cout it nicely...mind it, it didn't broke, just became from one piece to two piece..(P.C.Sorkar must have done something...)
and thus the promised drink became a mess in the floor in front of my early-mesmerised-and-then-surprised eyes...

(now the question is, will I be able to get up tomorrow??how??????)
