How often have you come across emails and inspirational quotes which say rules to live by or lessons learnt in life?
Somehow all that lecture seems to be bookish and too idealistic for me.
Here is my low down on things i have learned the hard way.

Learn to say No
Yeps thats true half the problems in your life are caused because you dnt know how to say no or maybe not now. People who know how to say no are lot happier!I'm still bad at it but i'm learning fast. I figured when i cnt say no i can always say not now. It works as fine.

Smile

Well thats one thing that can save ur butt more often than not, it makes you look good too.

Friends

Friends are very important for me at times more important than family. But there will be very few you can bank your life on. Luckily i always had a few. Call everyone your friend but the precious few should be given the importance and attention they deserve. Others will be with you as long as they are having fun with you.

Death

That's the only thing in life that is final. Everything else can either be reveresed or not as important anyways. Pople have gone through worse experiences than me but with what i have seen death is one thing that can leave you helpless. I had a pet named beauty, cause i literaly raised ger along with my sis since she was 20 days old we were attached a lot with her. In her final days she had kidney failure, being the hard core optimist that i am i thot maybe i can save her. Read all books learned more than the doctors here but one day my dad made me realise i can only delay cause her more pain but its inevitable. Accept it. No choice.Watch them go.

Gods greatest gift to mankind
Its a S word. Any guesses? No sickos it's your sense of humour. Use it then abuse it then be a joker and play around or crack a joke on a funeral.
Humour is the one thing that makes the world a really happy place. Quite literally!
P.S Sense of humour in gals really sucks so if you come across anyone with a rocking sense of humour u knw who to introduce her right?;)

People
If it was possible i wld prefer living in a jungle like mowgli playing with wolves n stuff but since we dnt have a choice follow a few rules.

Be polite to all initially, test them and find out whts their true worth and decide wt level of interaction you want to have with them.
So some for me are purely casual friends even if they want to be closer friends i dnt care. some are purely acquaitances for business.

Its important to test them and decide whats gonna be their part in your life!

Stay away from pretenders and fakersPeople wear masks. They pretend to be what they are not. Eyes tell a lot. Learn to read them.

Motive in life
Have you been confused abt whats the motive of your life?
In my view its finding the best talent you have that you enjoy using and surprising people with.Its not important what field it might be. Sachin had a great temperament and gift of timing. If not cricket he cld do well in any game in which timing and pressure handling are essential.
So more than the field of operation using the talent that is unique to you is what is more important.
 

Fear of failure and ridicule
If you can get rid of the thought that says what if i fail?
And what will people think of me?
You have literally taken yourself miles ahead of your competition in just a moment. Think about it!

Make a list of things that scare you go face them one by one. Bungee jumping is next in my list.

Greatest art

Communication. Easier said than done but its important to accomplish any task that involves people.

Attitude maketh a man

Need to explain this one.?

Keep on learning

Never stop learning and learn anything good you see in anyone. Even your worst foe. Keep improving your self. Keep getting better. You are never too good you knw.

Be down to earth
No point in being the best out there when your nature sucks in the first place.

Don't follow trends
The problem with following trends is that everyone else is following them too. In the end we all look same dnt we?
I went to club 7 sometime back and its amazing how all of them at discs look and dress up same.
All girls wear a sleeveless dark blue or black top and three fourth denims with straightened hair and all guys wear loose fit blue jeans and half sleeve shirts and have spike cut.
Losers!
Its better to stand out then gel in! Cant blv people do stuff because everyone else is doing them. Royal Crap.

Don't be someone else
Be urself dnt try to be someone else! I know people who put this fake picture of being confident and cool but something about them is so damn hollow.

Never do things that are not you. Smoking was never me i never liked it i never smoked a ciggy ever. rap music isnt me so i dnt care if everyone finds it cool i wldnt listen to it.
Do things that define you. dnt get defined by things that other people find cool.

Savior in bad times

It happens in life whn dude almighty takes all your powers to think. It happens to everyone once examples amitabh, ganguly. Just write it down a paper like a will who will take decisions for you when you cnt and thn pray tht person doesnt screw you up. My sis is my appointed savior in bad times.

Keep your cool

The ability to keep your cool in pressure situations or when people expect or incite you to react can make a lot of difference. keep your cool in every situation. It can be your greatest strength. Never loose your temper!Never get stirred!

Don't take things too personally Forgive, Forget Move on
There are frustated jerks out there. I have seen some people get hurt by what people say to them. Man you cnt survive being that soft hearted.
There are people who would say things just to put you down. Never take things people say too personally. Its gona waste your time. Forgive and forget.

Don't take life to seriously
Watch instant khichdi and great indian comedy show. Then take a dose of garfield.

Use the middle finger wisely
Learn frm greg chappel! Not everyone that demands explaination needs to be given one. Not everyone that argues with you needs to be argued with. Not everyone who throws shit at you needs to be tolerated.
Use the mighty middle finger wisely. It tells the useless ones they are not important and ignored.
Its saves a lot of valuable time and energy and shows them their rightful place too.

Snooze and loose rule
when you get a chance jump on it put a saddle on it put your stamp on it and ride it.

Play around cause its a short life folksies!
Enjoy evry second of your existence! Play around every moment. As long as you are not hurting anyone and doing something you will have to hide later everything is cool.

Long story short!

A little bird was flying in winter.
The bird froze and fell to ground.
A cow came and dropped some dung on it.
Bird began to realise how warm it was and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing bird heard the bird singing & dug him out and ate him.
Lessons to be learn:
1. Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2.Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3.When you are in deep shit keep your mouth shut.

I got this from friends, this short story has lessons bigger than all long stories all of us have ever read.

Sunscreen!

This is the lyrics frm one of my fav. sngs called the sunscreen.
I almost follow them like they are the rules to follow in my life hehe. But so true.
Rule Number 1:
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine.

Rule number 2:
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday
Rule number 3:
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Rule number 4:
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Rule number 5:
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
Rule number 6:
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Rule number 7:
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Rule number 8:
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.
Rule number 9:
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Rule number 10:
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
In our case bombay and pune lol
Rule number 11:
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
{Too late for me, no more playing with my hair}
Rule number 12:
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

Advertising Hall Of Fame And Shame

Like it or not when you are watching tv, ads are wht we see more then the shows. Here is my list of best and worst ads.
Hall of shame:
1. Sehwag ads
Sehwag with his dirty grin can make any ad look like dabur dant manjan ad. Any ad he works in, i jst lose the context everytime i see the world infamous sehwag grin. People used to wonder why he gets bans for excessive appealing, its not cause of excessive appealing man, its cause of the dirty grin he gives to umpires after the appeal. why the hell does he raise his bat like he has jst hit a century in tht dabur ad? The gals are ever dumber they raise a apple when he raises the bat?????Whats happening here

2. Rahul Dravid ads
I realy cant figure what the other silly folks in the ad say. Remember the ads in which dravid says sumthing like "my ad maker said my ads are like indian cricket, you never knw when they might disgust the audience so i took his advice" yea those, hate'em. While i'm on cricket i hate all ads with cricketers in them more so whn Ganguly is seen dancing Oh lord what da!!
But then lets just accept he dances better then he bats nw

3.pimple cream ads and Lux Ads

Seen that gal dancing away to glory in rain on a basket ball court with background music saying "NACH NACH" My friend and i had a common consenus on this one, WE DO NOT LIKE THAT AD and if we find that dumb gal who does the "NACH NACH" in real, any of us, we will break her legs so no "NACH NACH" no more huh. Or better we will jst steal her anti pimple cream;P

4.Fair n lovely ads
This is official after all the protests from womens rights organization coming frm a guy WE DO NOT LIKE IT EITHER!!. Hw cn being fair make your dreams true huh? The gals i knw in real life tht im sure will make it big are not the fairest. Why the hell do they make women look so needy in those ads. If you are not fair you are no where?. Whoever made tht ad needs to see a doctor. That ad is a insult to intelligent women and though rare they do exist!! lol

5.Axe, under garment ads, sanitary napkin ads bla bla

Need not say anything here an embarrasement when watching with family.


Hall Of Fame:
1. Surf excel ad with a boy and his sister We all luv that dnt we:)
Cute ad you will specially luv it if you got a younger sibling. That ad just reminds me of me and my sis.

2. Tata Safari dicor ad
"reclaim your life" thats wht it says. I like the ad cause someone in tht ad says "i always wanted to quit on a monday morning" yee sounds familiar i have woken up saying im gonna quit today on monday tuesdays wednesdays thursdays you get the point right lol

3. Amitabh unkil ads

Nah the guys too cool i like everything he does so no explaination here hes just cool. He can make bad ads look good.

4. Bike ads

Seen tht ad in vch the guy riding the bike says" i forgive everyone cause i feel like a god" funny ad sadly i cldnt have my own bike cause of my talents to make any situation a potentialy life threatening situation my mom was too scared and tired of saving my life to let me have a bike. Even if she had let me have a bike i wld have been forced to have a driver. Crap.

5. Any ad with sardar kids in it
Happy singh or lucky singh if thers a sardar kid in the ad it will be fun. I like the maruti ad more"o papa ji ki kara patrol khatam hi nahi honda":D i like that one;)
There are many more ads tht i might have missed lemme knw your favs;)
P.S i have lost my cell again yes again so pls send me your contact numbers again yes again:D

I was searching for intelligent agents these are basially software robots which do what you tell them to do. I came across a chat bot called cybelle. Im blogging my chat with her below. Before you read that chat just go to www.agentland.com and chat with her on the left hand side of the web page.

Ganguly Bashing Again Just for fun

I hate dissusing people but it seems like this is going to be my fav. topic to write on for quite sumtym so here goes sum harmless Ganguly bashing again.
What is that guy thinkin? or is that guy thinkin at all?
What does he wanna prove by speaking against the coach in public? digging his own grave i guess.
To start wit he thinks he has proved a point and has got the same stature in his team which was bigger than the coach by making a 101 against a club level zimbabwe side. Next series he fails again and i have a strange feeling he will hes done with his career and selling enrolment forms to 5 year olds in his cricket academy he started recently. The kids from that academy might not be consitent players but they will be impaccebly outspoken for sure!

The news is tht Teamn India is in splits and coach has gone to harare with 4 players. Stupid selectors have no idea what happened with gautam dasgupta giving strange reactions. Amazingly the commentators like harsha bhogle have more insider info about what goes inside the dressing room than the selectors.

I wish there was a national election to choose the captain of Indian cricket team or even the team. But then i wouldn't be surprised if people get frustated and vote nehra as the captain. Raam bol bhai raam.

Whos a better captain well that the issue here. They say ganguly has the best record as captain before that Azhar has the best record none of the selectors ever bothered to realise that ganguly would make a better captain than azhar till the fast blabbing match fixing hyderabadi got rested for good.

So basically the Indian selctors are jst morons with a negative IQ with no judgement of who the best perofrming guy would be. Our team is bhagwan bharose for a long time now even god almighty has given up. We will never find out if we dnt give dravid a chance.

If maturity and dependability has anything to do with being a good captains Dravid should lead team India next world cup.
Dravid is of the same age as ganguly with about 3 years of cricket left in him and you dont wanna look back when he retires and say hmm he could have been the best Indian captain ever!

Billionaire College Dropouts!

Billionaire college drop outs

Went through this list of college dropouts who made it big. I always had a feeling this education is doing something bad to us:-/. But then there is a good news and a bad news we are not dropouts yeah but then the way we cleared engineering is no mean feat probably a better performance than any dropout can match bill gates steve jobs ahh anyone. Long live kts!

Maybe someday they will publish a list of guys who made it big and had an amazing number of kts. Amen!!

As they say I was born intelligent education ruined me, Well almost. Lots of copying from others, bunking like crazy, keeping ears closed in lectures, never bothering to find out what subject lecture is gong on, we took our precautions.We made sure our thinking ability is not completely destroyed ;) by the education.

Move over dropout billionaires,  we are KT billionaires and we are here

The flight that fought back

I was watching discoverys best shows and they had a series on 9/11 named the flight that fought back. It's about the last plane that landed in an open field which had 40 passengers.

One Amzing story i really recommend watching. This is how the story goes.

On board flight 93 passengers are told by hijackers that the plane is hijacked and taken to the airport to have their demand met. They take charge of the cockpit and kill the pilots. The passengers are allowed to call with the 8 phones they had in the plane.
They(discovery) profiled the people who called their homes and how they started realising one by one that they are not going back home. Among the familes that were called was a old mother who told her son that all the planes hijacked were used as missiles and thats what is going to happen with his flight. But unlike all others who told their loved ones to sit and do nothing this old tigress tells her son to gather people and fight and tells him that is the only chance he has to survive this ordeal.

On board the flight the passengers are told that the plane has a bomb and hijackers have gun and axes.
But the passengers make a plan. they get fire extinguishers, knives and any other weapon they can get hold off and use as weapon and boil water in the pantry to attack the hijackers from a distance.

They all run towards the hijackers who are taken by shock by the sudden act and attack them. They catch one of the hijackers but the rest get in the cockpit and close the doors. The passengers kill the hijacker. Thn they start to break the cockpit door.

The hiackers realise that they wil be killed soon and they will nt reach target possibly white house and they crash the plane into the ground crying allah o akhbar allah o akhbar

Its a fascinating story which i wish had a happy ending. I salute that courageous female who told her son to fight back. They just made one mistake amidts the adrenalin rush they forgot that when they attack the hijacker they will definetely close the cockpit and their attack will fail.

Some one could have acted ill maybe and got the attention of the hijackers and when all of them were out they culd have attacked them. They needed a better plan than jst bravery.
Even in that case i would have loved to be in this plane rather than the indian airlines plane which was hijacked. There were only two losers with possibly knives and over a hundred passengers. flight 93 had 40 passengers and the females fought as hard as the men and almost won.

We indians are wussies big time wussies.

But the fact still remains that the cowards came back alive (except the ones who were killed including a pregnant woman if i remember correctly, im wondering how the men in the plane live after seeing the hijackers kill her infront of them and not get ashamed of themselves for not fighting back then but then Indians after all non violent mahatma gandhis all of us i'm sure they are living happily where ever they are) and the brave ones in flight 93 died.

This is where reality hurts idealism If only fortune favoured the brave everytime...

Ashes!!

While we Indians were still busy thinking sehwag is worlds best opener, harbhajan one of the best spinner, tendulkar the god of all good things crickety, irfan pathan, kaif, yuvraj,dhoni and half dozen of assumed super stars something funny happned.....

The ashes was won by england. And 12 players is all it took. None of them anywherere close to being termed as greatest player of all time. No super stars barring flintoff which in my view is a better batsman than yuvraj and kaif and a better bowler than zaheer, nehra and agarkar combined.


I was just wondering where we actually stand in the world arena. Honestly i think the mark of a good team is not one superlative performance once in a year but in the confidence its fans have in it. Everytime australia walks in australians are sure they will see a good performance.
even srilankans, england, south africans, new zea land.

We are better than bangladesh and zimbabwe and as bad as pakistan as i can never be sure of a good performance.

We just do not learn. Kaif hasnt improved since he came to the international scene, Yuv raj hasnt harbhajan bowls the same, sehwag plays the same game, i dnt see nehra even having a brain to learn so no expectations.

They are just made so huge as soon as they appear on the scene and after that they jst wont improve.

The good part is that i dnt wait for India to play to enjoy cricket. Sri lanka with moody and england with flethcher with australia with hopefully a changed captain are set to give us three teams who will give good cricktet to us.

And yes dnt expect anything better till dravid is made our captain. people come and tell me ganguly is a better leader he is aggressive( seriously where does his aggression go while facing fast bowlers and throwing away his wicket i have seen dravid play the best pull shots on those bouncers) and he has the best record among any indian captains.
To start with he also had the best players so far. The best facility. the best of lot of things. How can people judge dravid without giving him a proper chance.
Dravid is cool headed, he has a better technical sense than ganguly, mental strength shows in the way he taks on the responibility everytime, his will to survive , his toughness and ability to accept challenges was proved long back when he volunteered to play as keeper batsman and did well, he is a stable batsman because he is a stable person.

I m still trying to find out what quality ganguly has that makes him a better captain than dravid.
Win or loose dravids captaincay was fun to watch in sri lanka.

Hope some sanity is restored bck and dravid gets what he deserves.


Lastly federer dude won again, i wonder if he ever gets bored of winning. Gaurav no Agassi didn't win bhai as usual you wre wrong again. You are so wrng all the time are you sure your name aint gaurav ganguly?
