Headed for disaster

Gone are the days when the brand called IIT had some value. Just the sheer number of new IITs that this ever stupid government of the country is hell bent on creating, is testimony enough as to what lies in the future.

Instead of raising the status of the good colleges like some NITs and others, why create new entities ? Somebody drill some sense into these illiterate politicians who in the name of creating centres of excellence in the field of engineering education are instead diluting the existing ones.

All that is gonna happen now :
Parent 1 : "Mera beta IIT mein hai"
Parent 2 : "Mera beta bhi"
Parent 3 : "Mera bhi"

Reminiscence

One fine day I thought of my schoolmates,
How can I ever forget those eternal dates?
Those were the days when life was nice,
Unlike today’s life, devoid of any spice.

Everyone now is busy on his own,
No one even cares to talk on the phone,
Where are the days we all enjoyed together?
All that remains are faint reflections of one another.

Those thoughts are somewhere there in our minds,
We just need to toggle the blinds,
The light of joyous emotions will then come in,
To give us that nostalgic feeling.

And then we’ll all be in an elated state,
Not knowing the upcoming tricks of fate,
Such is the way we live life,
Pretending to be free of worries and strife,
And cherishing those moments,
In a world full of commitments.

Numerology, revisited !

If you are one of the regular readers of the shit I write here (most probably you are not) you have an idea of what's coming. It's basically a date, some Maths and some bits of English :)

So, here it is.

My DOB -> 16-01-1985
1 + 6 -> 7
1 + 6 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 5 -> 22 -> 2 + 2 -> 4

CAT 2008 Pay-in slip no. -> 845907 -> 7
CAT 2008 Application form no. -> 360463 -> 4
as per the Maths above (do it urself :P)

I seriously hope that though the numbers have repeated themselves, the results don't !

The Dark Knight, no. 1

Within just two days of its release, The Dark Knight has become the no. 1 movie of all time on IMDb.


I cannot tell how happy I am. Not because I wanted this movie to be no. 1, but because I didn't want The Godfather to be no. 1. I have seen TG only once, and frankly speaking, I didn't like it much. The ending was a waste. I know, you'll say "WTF, this guy sucks !" just like millions of others who have acknowledged that TG is the greatest story ever told.

However, this humble blogger here doesn't feel the same. And I will go on to say that Marlon Brando's role was nothing spectacular. How much of screen time did he have ? huh ?

Thanks to all who voted for TDK and I think the folks at IMDb would also welcome the change. :P

Life

10 seconds of laziness =

a crushed pair of spectacles.

And here's how.

Those spects in the pic are the ones I used to wear at night while driving coz the lenses on them had an anti-glare coating. After I come back from office, I leave them in the helmet. I did just that last night. Today, I wore my other chashma and then realised that these were still lying in the helmet. Lazy as always, I didn't spend even 10 seconds to put them in their case. Instead, I kept them in my shirt's pocket so that I could put them in their case once I reached office. But that was not to be !

They jumped off (lol) from the pocket and got crushed on the road. I realised it when I had reached my desk. Hurriedly, I came back and found them on the road, bruised and battered !

Someone took a bite !

Look closely at the third piece in the top row. Someone took a bite and then packed it in :(((
