Keep It Simple!

seriously.. i have lots to write abt. Kind of running short of time.

1) Have to write abt Asadyudu movie, review.. yeah watched it just now. Dont watch it

2) Yahoo status messages..

Bull => Lots of work == Lots of worries ;
saki => Mid sems Mid sems  I’m getting mad >:) ;
Pranav => Question of studying alone.

3) “When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us.” – Quote on Sahiti’s homepage.

4) My mid-term schedule..

Day 1 : Vodka, broken mirror (dint break it on purpose.. it fell down and broke.. isnt it supposed to be bad luck?).. something else.. .actually lots of things
Day 2 : Movie, missed a couple of accidents, have a really bad throat ache.. thinking about those lots of things.

5) And when you are done doing what you have done, you really dont know what to do..

So, I guess I’ll just let them stack up and write them at liesure, when I have my gemini back.. seriously missing u .. /:) wanted to see how this emoticon would come on wordpress. Actually might rain 4-5 posts tomm.. All depends on my mood

Ok.. so what do I write? Actually I came to bachan’s room to write abt my vodka shots yesterday.. but naah I guess I’ll pass. Just had this interesting conversation.. will probably discuss it sometime. Yeah you will get to hear tons and tons of bull-shit and what not !!

Fear drives everything.. does it? Really? If so what drives everything? Love? Hate? Motivation? or whats it?

Only a few ppl got to have a look at the pic that was here.. dint want too much attention and so some other time uploading it again.. just like that !!

I amnt an expert on this. But I decided that I’ll write something useful, something that people would get benefit from once in a while and so this effort.

The “British doctors study” showed that those who stopped smoking before they reached 30 years of age lived almost as long as those who never smoked. Need any other reason to not quit till 30. I amnt going to quit till 30.. I love u British ppl.. Also, statistically lung cancer occurs in only 10% of the smokers – the large majority well over 70 years of age – where statistical death occurs anyway and I dont expect and want to live for more than 50 anyway. So no big deal. And forget about the health hazards. If passive smoking is as dangerous as they claim it to be, I am happy smoking and dying, than to not smoke and die

Communal smoking of a sacred tobacco pipe was a universal ritual through Native America, and was considered a sacred part of their religion. Sema, the Anishnabe word for tobacco, is still used for ceremonial uses today among Native Americans. It was grown for ceremonial use and considered the ultimate sacred plant. Tobacco smoke was believed to carry prayers to the heavens. Yippee, I never realised that there was such an easy way to contact God

In the 1930 Nazi medical and military leaders became concerned that tobacco might prove a hazard to human health, concluding that the “extraordinary rise in tobacco use” was “the single most important cause of the rising incidence of lung cancer”. From 1933 to 1945 Germany had the world’s strongest anti smoking movement, with the full support of Adolf Hitler, who disapproved of smoking. He characterised tobacco as “the wrath of the Red Man against the White Man for having been given hard liquor.” Did you know this? And I dont like Hitler that much.. and so more of a reason to smoke.

Iconic smokers : Demi Moore, Arnold, John F.Kennedy, Winston ChurchHill, Mark Twain, Clint Eastwood, Albert Einstein, Joseph Stalin, Bill Clinton, The Beatles, Steve Jobs, J.R.R. Tolkein, Sherlock Holmes, Popeye, Vincent Van Gogh, Jessica Simpson, Michael Jordan, Fidel Castro, Edwin P Hubble, Dominic Monaghan, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Harrison Ford, Kirsten Dunst, Drew Barrymore , Luke Wilson, Jack Black, Ricky Martin, Luke Perry and many more.. the list goes on and on. These are some and frankly the tip of the iceberg, Shud I say more? I just cant wait to smoke a davidoff right now.

Fear, discrimination, separation and hate go hand-in-hand during any serious propaganda campaign against a despised subgroup, and the Antismoking Crusade is no exception in its use of these. Whenever challenged on this point they will loudly proclaim that they promote hate, not of the smoker, but of the smoke. However, a look at the rhetoric that is tossed around so glibly by those active in the movement slices through this veneer of civility. Part of the problem of course is that it’s the nature of the human mind to simplify things. A hated object or activity, when connected to or performed consistently only by one subgroup of the population, invariably transfers its stigma over to that population. The leaders of the Antismoking Crusade are astute enough to realize this, but they’ve made very little, if any, real effort to combat it. One set of web pages stands out in particular for its sheer fanaticism in demonizing smokers and smoking. (http://medicolegal.tripod.com/tcpg.htm) The author posits that smoking is the root cause of virtually all of humankind’s modern ills, responsible for everything from about 90% of its violent crime, to its high divorce rate, alcoholism, AIDS, homelessness….. and even more. Seriously whom are u kidding? U expect me to believe all this bullshit. Thanks but no thanks. I amnt that dumb… Just go tell this to some kids who believe everything their moms tell them.

In the October, 1995, issue of his newsletter, “Health and Healing”, Doctor Whitaker writes: “Since 1950, the incidence of all cancers in people between the ages of 50 and 60 years has increased by 44%, with even higher increases in some of the more deadly forms of cancer. Breast and colon cancer went up 60%, prostate up 100% and testicular cancer for men between the ages of 28 and 35 went up 300%. Lung cancer has gone up 262%, an increase that is obviously not related to cigarette smoking, because over the same period the number of people smoking cigarettes dropped from 50% to 25%…” Who said that you would get cancer if you smoked.. I dont believe that and I dont mind also.

Smoking improves human information processing, Higher nicotine cigarettes produce greater improvements [in information processing] than low-nicotine cigarettes, Nicotine can reverse the detrimental effects of scopolamine on performance?, Smoking effects are accompanied by increases in EEG arousal and decreases in the latency of the late positive component of the evoked potential? ( Not know what that exactly means.. but still interesting.).. Source : 0574. University of Reading, Department of Psychology (England). Warburton., D.M.; Wesnes, K. “The Effects of Cigarette Smoking on Human Information Processing and the role of Nicotine in These Effects”

…Smokers in general are thinner than nonsmokers, seen me? even when they ingest more calories.. Numerous studies, but only two are listed below: 0885. Kentucky State University. Lee. C.J.: Panemangalore. M. “Obesity Among Selected Elderly Females In Central Kentucky.” FUNDING: USDA 0942. University of Louisville. Belknap Campus School of Medicine. No more over-weight problems. Ok.. from now on will not be listing the sources, in case of any doubt contact me.

The WHO, in order to “prove” the dangers of ETS, financed the second largest study in the world on secondhand smoke. But the study “backfired” and showed not only that there was no statistical risk of disease on passive smoking, but even a protective effect for those who are exposed to it. Not surprisingly, it is said that the WHO tried to hide the study from the media. Not at all surprising.. (http://www.forces.org/evidence/files/pas-smok.htm)

Smoking is also known to have its own benefits related to Parkinson’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Hypertension, Post Partum Heomarrage, and so on.. the list is kind of endless, which started making me wish that my prof would give me an assignment to write an essay on this. Most of the info that I have got is from wikipedia, lots of various sites, some copy-pasted and are true to my knowledge.

I have been dying to upload the pic at the top since ages.. that was the second time I smoked and from then the journey has been interesting with many ups n downs and it has now become a part of my life, been with me through happiness, sadness, and has become one of my best buds. Now, looks like I’ve become a bit sentimental over here. .. hehe.. But still its fun and it rocks !! All hail nicotine. I’ve been editing this again .. dont know how to end this. Will probably write a coupla quotes on smoking.. nice

For thy sake, Tobacco, I would do anything but die. — Charles Lamb, 1775-1834
I have every sympathy with the American who was so horrified by what he had read of the effects of smoking that he gave up reading. — Henry G. Strauss, 1892-1974

Blue screen of death, slight cold and fever, really slight but enough to be a pain in the ass, thats what I kinda have right now.. so what should I blog about today? There are like umpteen things that I can write about, what should I start with? Probably I will dedicate this for my comp.

Hey I am writing this blog on bachan’s pc and its kinda nice here.. probably got to do with Firefox extensions.. its lot easier to upload images and all. So.. where was I? Yeah, my pc. Submitted this and had a look, the image is kind of gone.. Probably something to do with the text, or the fact that the original image was a gif, not at all in a mood to find out why.. so I guess I’ll let it stay.. for We arent humans if it hadnt been for these small errors. Really?

I must really say Microsoft sucks big time !! Pinfi attack and almost all my executables are gone. I just cant understand how a virus could break through with SP2 installed and also the windows firewall. Can’t they write a OS that is bug-free. Why do we have to do mistakes? why should there be some errors in our coding? I am presuming that God coded us and like MS he did a really bad job at that.. Like MS we look wonderful from the outside and everything is perfect till a virus hits, and once a virus hits it is just going down non-stop. Yeah ofcourse, you have the option of restarting like in windows, sleep for some time, take a break, some cookies and then start the work again. A LAN network is like the friends’ circle, if a friend gets infected it gets spread to all the other friends in the network like the virus, unless you have a firewall, i.e, you are an introvert in this sense. And now coming back to the Pinfi, I know what the problem. I know what it does, but I have no idea how to get rid of it, tried lots of things to patch things up, but that resulted in more misunderstandings, AVG and EzAntiTrust both had a fight and neither of them could clear things up. Then, I decided that I  was tired of all these viruses, decided it was time to start afresh. Just got a cd of windows and started the process of installing windows again, then the blue screen of death. Why amnt I able to move on?  srujan says that the reason would be the dust that has got sedimented in the RAM, which requires some cleaning and so that what I am going to do first before I install it again.. wish it is that easy. Actually now, taking a break off from my comp and just thinking about reading novels, and then go back to the comp and see how things go.

Ok.. feeling a bit tired and sleepy. Feel like sleeping the whole day. We’ll see…

Those days that we spent together,
Will they ever be forgotten … ?

Those times that we laughed together,
Will they ever be gone … ?

Those minutes that we frowned at each other,
Will it be that way forever … ?

I have never hoped so,
Nor will I ever hope so.

Those days, those times, those minutes,
Are carved deep in my heart,
As a ‘memory’ that I’ll treasure forever …

Rest understood kadaa

This is a really interesting Q that cheddi asked me sometime back and I started thinking,

Which Justice League would you really die to be?

I have been watching Justice League a lot nowadays and with respect to documents available from this server, I dont make any warranty, express or implied, including the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, or assume any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, apparatus, product, or process disclosed, or represents that its use would not infringe privately owned rights. In short, it is just my personal opinion. Characters in order.

1) Batman
Batman would be my personal favorite among the lot. Probably one reason for this would be awesome movie, ‘Batman Begins’, that I watched some days back at IMAX, on a giant screen. There can be nothing like driving the bat mobile. Deep down you may still be that same great kid you used to be. But it’s not who you are underneath, it’s what you do that defines you. Racheal says that.. and thats like the most defining moment for me.

Batman doesnt have any special powers. He believes in wit and is someone in Justice League that everyone can relate to. And given Katie Holmes and the Bat Mobile, who wouldn’t die to be Batman. I was afraid of bats, now it is time my enemies shared it. On the lighter vein, I just love Robin .. bachan’s fave. Keeps on raving abt batman.

2) Wonder Girl
Who wudnt love a hot girl, who fights and looks great. Wonder girl is an amazon, and has tremendous power. This coupled with the lasso and the thing she has on her hands, she is cool. Come on, my vote for her goes purely on the basis of looks and nothing else. Nothing like a beautiful girl who can fight. A treat to watch.. would love to see Angelina Jolie play the role of wonder girl. Wouldnt that be a treat to watch? I would want to be her.

3) Flash
Run flash Run.. thats the only thing he can do. Not much of a brainy guy. But, I liked the episode where he increases his heart beat to make it a straight line, to fool the Batman in the parallel universe. Speed is what he is good at.. he moves with such speed that u cant even find out where he is. Raki loves him.. Ofcourse Speed.

4) Martian John
Cheddi’s fave.. Kap ki kuda.. just had breakfast with him in the mess and was discussing abt this.. the one with the most powers and really must say someone I wud have wanted to be. But not now. Who wudnt want to be someone with ESP and power to shift through objects and so on. Its awesome. But when i was asked the same thing, all that I could think about was.. Why would I want the power to listen to everyone else’s shit. Really it isnt nice being a mind-reader. Somethings are better when they arent known for indeed

Ignorance is indeed Bliss

5) Superman
Superman is the only famous superhero whose identity is superman.. that is he was born as super-man and he has Clark Kent idenity to save himself.. take batman for instance he is born as Bruce Wayne.. and something happens that changes his life, same with most of the superheros, He-man, Hulk most of them. (Hey let me know if there are any more like this or that.. ) But I somehow dont seem to like this dude personally. The attire is awesome and after the talk I heard somedays back on how animations are made, I think I am able to appreciate it even more. But still he is a dud and is all brawn and no brain, which isnt something I am really comfortable with. So he is really low on my whom-I-want-to-be list. Watch out for ‘Superman Begins’ if you are his fan or was that ‘Superman returns’ ?

6) Hawk Girl n Ring John
John with the ring, and Hawk Girl with the wings n mace arent even close to being heroes in my view. I really dont like heroes who become dumb-asses as soon as they something that they have, like John without the ring is like almost nothing, ofcourse there are lots of episodes where this point is made and he proves that this is wrong. But still what good is a super-hero if the power is dependent on something else, same with Hawk Girl, I was for almost a long time thinking that the name is ‘Hot Girl’ and was a bit confused abt the same.

anyways.. this is what i feel abt the same. my all time fave would be Tom n Jerry and I would love to be Jerry and I know who wants to be Tom.. right? .. India rocking and I just cant wait to watch the match.

And I’m confused. Just lots of things going through my mind. Need to take a break.. maybe a couple of icecreams would sure help. So …

Abt today.. I went to ‘Devadasu’, review later on in the blog and then I dont know, but depending on my mood.. I might write a testimonial on someone. Dont know about whom yet.. but just want to write a testimonial, a really frank one. Will see Went to leave rakhee akka at the station, me and cheddi, had a nice time. All in all, a good day.

Review
Its been really long since I watched two good movies in a row. All that I did the whole movie was gape at Ilenea. She is so damn cute, shes hot man.. shes really hot.. I just had a nice time looking at her. The movie was ok ok, the songs were pretty good. I somehow couldn’t digest the bike scenes, though the one at the train was pretty cool. The ending was crappy.. but who cares Ilenea rocks !! Now I am just waiting for her new movie with mahesh babu, wonder when that would come. Will have to wait a bit I guess.. we’ll see. Can watch the movie, but go with someone who likes girls.. hot ones, if you know what I am saying, else you might not be able to appreciate it as much.

Now, I just dont know whose testimonial to write.. Let me see. Probably the first person to send me a yahoo message from now on. That should be cooll.. I just hope its not someone whose testimonial I dont want to write. Let us see. And now the wait beginsss…

@12:15 . Still no message. Just talked to Kap.. raved about Ilenea, he concurs that she is hot . Will be having my breakfast from tomm. in NBH, we all decided that we’ll eat food together. Actually it was nice today eating food with raki akka in NBH mess.. so just want to see. Will watch ‘Lord of the war’ now.

I got the message. Not interested in writing the testimonial for that person and so lites. Feeling a bit sleepy.

New word : deja-moo. Should thank rakhee akka for that. deja-vu means ‘ The illusion of having already experienced something actually being experienced for the first time’ and so deja-moo would be ‘I have heard that bull shit before or I have the feeling that I have heard that bull shit before’ . Her friends coined that it seems. coooll !! I’m beginning to feel sleepy and ‘Lord of the war’ is really really boring and so I guess I’ll sleep. GNSD

Just coming back from ‘Shock’ , One helluva movie. It was really kewwlll.. I just had a really nice time today. Played a new word game with rakhee akka and all.. we went to the exhibition. I guess you’ll have to wait to see the pics. I guess it would be really kewlll with those dumb smiles of mine. I guess I’ll wrap this post with a review of ‘Shock’. I wanted to write about the ’11 Reasons why we should talk to gals’, but I’ll pass. Hmm.. why so? come on, you should be knowing them urselves.

Ok.. I just got a mesg from arvind saying that he needs some food. Hungry anta.. will search for some for him. chalo then.. will edit the blog once I am back !!

Couldn’t find anything.. sorry bud. So where was I, yeah I was telling riann abt the 11 reasons. anyways, now what should I do? yeah I guess I’ll watch ‘Justice League’, really love that. Just love cartoons. Hehe.. I just observed something.. somehow I seem to be using lots of “I guess”, “Just” and so on.. and when I talk, you know what I use a lot right, “awesome”, “proper” and ofcourse the eternal “like”.

Review

It is really nice movie. Not a must-see though, but I would it is a movie you would enjoy with friends. It has some really nice comedy and so u’ll have a nice laugh. I liked Jyotika a lot, she was awesome in those wonderful sarees. So thats it for the blog for today..

All in all, a really nice day. I had loads of fun and it was nice

1) They need all the attention in the world. You should make them feel as though they are the only people that really matter to your lives. You just have to listen to each and every word that they say, each and every fight they have with others, everything.. You just have to hear to tons and tons of gossip. Just a big waste of time. If that was a guy-friend of yours, you can spend the time better on beer. or maybe go out for a movie or some place nice.

2) They are over-possesive. They always expect that they are the first people to hear the news, good, bad or whatever. Its just that they want to be the FIRST. “Why did you tell her abt that? I had to hear abt that thing from her. You could have told me about it when we met sometime back. Why didn’t you tell me?” Did you ever hear a guy ask the same things? Oh my God !! Take a break.. I just dint think that it was important. I just dint rmr. come on.

3) They expect tons and tons of gifts. “Today is rose day. where are my roses? Today is card day, where are my cards? You forgot about this day? We met on this day 2 years back.. We decided then that we would go out on this day every year. How could you forget about it. Why didnt you wish my sister on her birthday?” There are like 365 days in an year and on some fateful years 366, you just cant expect us to remember what each day is and what happened on this day? And if you are that concerned about it, a reminder wouldnt hurt. Whereas, guys would just say “I want to go out tomm. Let us go for a movie.”

4) They are never frank. It wouldnt really hurt to come straight to the point instead of just beating round the bush. If you want to go out all that girls should do is ask “Shall we go out today? Are you free?”.. instead they are like.. “There is a wonderful movie at this place wonderful” and they keep on raving about it until you just say “Ok fine !! Let us go tomm.” and then surprises of surprises, they dont agree immediately but instead are like “Wait let me see if I am free.. ” (After a 2 mins break) “Ok.. I guess we can go” .. You can never expect a straight forward answer to the Q.. Is everything fine? phewwww !!

5) They always want things to done their way . I never saw a girl agree to what you say immediately. Always want to contradict what you say. I dont see why they like arguing abt things. Yeah agreed they do have their opirion about things. But, sometimes you just have to let things to be done the other way also. Probably all the over-pampering at home is paying off like this. Realise that things always dont happen the way you want them to.

6) They get upset over small things. Really really petty things make them feel bad.. like someone dint talk properly to them, they got a low score in an exam.. Low score is understandable.. but they get upset when someone they know has a higher score than them. Come on fruit cakes, you need to leather up. Life aint that easy. You have to go through lots of shit and somehow handling them comes naturally to guys. I really dont understand why. The list of things girls can get upset about is a never ending one. If a girl reads this, thats enough for them to act wierd. I just cant rmr the number of times I have had to convince a girl that nothing is wrong and that things are normal. They are so *beep* paranoid.

7) They keep you waiting They just are slow.. too slow. How much time does it take to change clothes, wash the face and come. I just hate waiting and I really dread those moments when I have to wait for girls. Guys just get ready in minutes unless they really want to slow things down ( for fun.. ) what say guys? Girls on the other hand, take hours and hours before they can even start thinking about coming out. I can think of only one girl who waited for me almost the every time we had to go out and seriously you rock !! [ That would be ranj, the coolest girl I ever talked to]
They pick lots of fights. Show me one girl who hasnt fought with a guy ever in her life and I would seriously be her biggest fan. I can show u tons of guys who havent had a fight. Seriously you people need to realise that you dont get everything that you want by throwing those temper tantrums and fits. All that it does is screw the relationship even more. Just learn to relax and please for God’s sake, stop discussing the fights you had with a guy with other girls. Women talk and thats the thing that they do a lot. Beware !!

9) Pride n Prejudice One thing that really irks me a lot. I have seen friends of mine, take this instance, there is a really cool friend, without doubt the coolest, everyone would vouch for that. He liked a girl ( God only knows why.. ), he just goes to her and asks her for dinner. Thats really awesome and just dont understand why girls find it so tough to say a YES and in case they are going to say a NO, why not say that properly. She kinda looked at him as though he made a big transgression by doing that. Seriously, have you ever been refused by a guy friend? For pete’s sake it was just dinner nothing else.. omg.

10) The only dumb and non-practical reason.

We can agree that… A girlfriend is a product of time and money right?
Girlfriend = Time * Money
Your girlfriend is a woman!
Girfriend = Woman
Woman = Time * Money
We all know that time is money…
time = money
woman = money * money
woman = (money)^2
We also know that money is the root of all evil, correct?
money = sqrt(evil)
woman = [sqrt(evil)]^2
Hence, woman = evil
WOMEN ARE EVIL!!!

I know I have been a bit critical over here. But ask girls also, some of them would say that they hate the other girls. I never heard a guy say this. Guys rock !! and come on.. dont get too judgemental about me, reading this, who knows I might even write “10 reasons why we should talk to girls” to make my gal friends happy. I just wish I amnt forced into doing it through emotional blackmail

Kidding. But still isnt there an iota of truth atleast in all this? Just give it a thought.. and dont start asking ‘What happened sumanth all of a sudden’ .. nothing has happened. Its just that I am bored as usual

but there are more than just my feelings ….. i want to be respected and not just taken for granted ….. my friendship’s been tainted with the marks of betrayal and dishonesty which i cant take …

Cinema dialogue? such strong words? How could you even say them? Its better if I dont even talk about them. So what did I do the whole day ante.. had lots of fun played dumbcharads.. raks birthday and thats it. It was really kewwll.. and hey forgot abt the treat and all .. there are things more imp. I’ll never forget these words ra.. NEVER.. but now i have moved on ….. with no grudges, angry feelings or regrets ….. just the memories …. someday u’ll know.. and maybe then i wud have moved on.. we’ll see.. dont hate me !

Now I know what it feels like to really HATE someone.

yeah I am going to move on and I dont know why I put the name of this article as ‘I just love chess’, time will tell.
