Best of FIVE!!!
"Best of FIVE "Well that's the slogan the most of the school students are saying now..
These 11 days of January 2010 has seen a lot of teen suicide cases and most of them as per various sources are due to exam pressure..
We thought after all this the education ministry would look into the type of syllabus and try to make it more interesting...but i think our dear ministry had some other plans..so what do they do...
they plan to introduce best of 5 system for 10th std board exams..where in the students have a chance to omit one subject from their syllabus of 6 subjects..now if you ask me..i really don't understand the logic behind this..
As per them this will help reduce stress and fear about tough subjects and students will be able to attempt exams without any pressure also.Oh ya forgot to tell you the main thing ,the ministry also i guess assumes that by introducing this system they will curb the suicide rate in teens..
My first reaction was WTF...what are they trying to do...
I mean are we trying to build a future wherein students will grow and face the tough world or are we making them into people who will run away from pressure and stress?
By bowing down in front of such things are we indirectly inviting more trouble in future?
I am sure there might be better ways to see to it that the stress on students are reduced...but i am sure this is not the right one

BOB
Bob works hard at the plant and spends two nights each week bowling and plays golf every Saturday.
His wife thinks he's pushing himself too hard, So for his birthday she takes him to a local strip club.
The doorman at the club greets them and says, 'Hey, Bob! How ya doin?'
His wife is puzzled And asks if he's been to this club before.
'Oh no,' says Bob. 'He's in my bowling league.
When they are seated, a waitress asks Bob if he'd like his usual. And brings over a Budweiser.
His wife is becoming increasingly uncomfortable and says, 'How did she know that you drink Budweiser?'
'I recognize her, she's the waitress from the golf club. I always have a Bud at the end of the 1st nine, honey.'
A stripper then comes over to their table, throws her arms around Bob, starts to rub herself all over him and says,
'Hi Bob Want your usual table dance, big boy?'
Bob's wife, now furious, Grabs her purse and storms out of the club. Bob follows and spots her getting into a cab.
Before she can slam the door, He jumps in beside her.
Bob tries desperately to explain how the stripper must have mistaken him for someone else,
But his wife is having none of it .
She is screaming at him at the top of her lungs,
Calling him every 4 letter word in the book.
The cabby turns around and says,
'Geez Bob, you picked up a real bitch this time.'

A spontaneous decision
People say never take any spontaneous decision,never make any hasty decision as they never work and always backfire...Well i always followed that particular funda until 3 weeks back..It was one small trip to tattoo shop with my friend which prompted me to get myself inked..
At first when i went to the shop and the desire of getting a tattoo emerged I thought it might be and temporary one...but i was proved wrong...
The same day i started thinking as to what would be the significance of my first tattoo and there i was with the answer...I always believed what ever happens will happen for good as it is god who has already chalked down our life...So i had no second thoughts and decided it would be "BLESSED" yes that is what my tattoo would say...
It is my belief that god's blessing is always there with me which prompted me to go ahead with this word. Any trust me people this is one spontaneous decision that iam really proud of..and really happy too :-)
Attaching the images do lemme know wat you think!!

A reminder from God!!!
Had a a very tough last week....had my exams.As if the tension of exams was not enough,we had our MET dept putting us in catch 22 situation...
The all hyped cyclone which was supposed to hit Mumbai shores never came[not that i wanted it to come and destroy]..But the news spread havoc all around...thanks to which our exam on that day got postponed...and we had to spend one more day cramming like hell.
Any ways done with exams i really wanted to loosen up and get away from the books...so we went to Carter Road[People from mumbai may know wat iam talkin bout] Its just to place to relax....
So we were sitting on a wall facing the open sea and i could see a lot of people around...Some jogging,talkin a strole,couples but there was this kid who really caught my eyes and my mind...he was happy walkin with few biscuits in his hand...It was very clear that he was one of the slum dweller...
Walkin pass people suddenly he fell down and all his biscuits fell from his hand...That kid was in all tears.His sister who also may be around 5 yrs came running picked his up..that kid got up picked up the fallen biscuits and went ahead...
When i saw this it really pinched me and reminded of all those times when we have taken things for granted and not appreciated the small things that god has blessed us with...
It was like a reminder that God gave to us saying understand the imp of things that you have...

The Theory of Intelligence
I don't think I've ever heard the concept explained any better than this :-)
'Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

The debate continues
Gandhi Jayanti....i am sure even Gandhiji must have never dreamt that there would be so much debate regarding this day.
The whole day today only 2 things were flashing on the new channels...
"Should we have national holiday on 2 Oct"
"Should govt impose Dry day on 2 Oct"
Its a real funny argument isn't?I mean instead of debating on such pity issue it would have been better if more imp things are given a thought for.
One point that i really liked was "Gandhi was a person who would have never said that a holiday should be declared on this day"...
More over what significance do we actually give to this day...just putting a garland on Gandhiji's status and enjoying the rest of the day doing the usual stuff does it really make justice to such a personality don't think so...
Dry day what is the reason behind this thing?people who want to drink will drink any how...i don't need to give how the ways they get their hands laid on the hard drinks on dry day....iam sure at least some of you guys must have seen it..
what is your say..dry day yes or no??? holiday yes or no??
