Friends.....

Was watchin a few episodes of friends yesterday and i was jus wonderin if i'd ever have the kind of fun with my friends like what those ppl were havin. no not really. was talkin about it to my friend. something like that can never happen. damn.
Im at least greatful dat i have some awesome friends! politics among us are sometimes inevitable but thats just normal i guess. we all become ok in no time! i've never really bonded to friends as much i've bonded to my college friends. sure sure i had lotsa friends in my skool and stuff but i guess i wudn't have ever trusted my life with them. i've bonded so well with my college friends in a very mature level. once i leave college i don think ill get too friendly with my batchmates durin my postgraduation. i heard that never really happens cause each one's pretty busy with their own lives.
i dread the day my college's gonna end. i have 3 more years to go but u know how time flies. ill be over before i know it and it'll be hard. ill miss all these guys. i guess this happens to everybody durin their college life...wonder what they did?
i somehow hope my gang doesn't fall apart. i love the way everything is right now...everything's so cool! and i love it! these guys are super awesome! and im gonna miss them with every tiny muscle fibre in my heart. lets wait and see...time will tell.
peace.

my life has changed....a lot! in so many ways...first of all i've shifted my room and now i have much more space(and porbably a lil more respect) in my house. college has been pretty hectic in second year now. my schedule is more or less the same everyday in college....the second yr subjects suck!!!! however college is fun...i love goin to college! don think i've bunked without a reason for months now! my friends have become so much more cooler too! love spendin time with them...and of course love spendin time with someone special too! :)

so much has changed........................for the better of course!

i sometimes feel more responsible these days...i think a lot more before doin things. something's wrong here...probably jus cause im 19 ;) he he he...

like i said.....SO MUCH HAS CHANGED! and i love every single bit of it!

peace.

Software engineering anyone?????

why does everybody i know doin engineering wants to eventually enter the IT industry???

UG: BIO-TECH
JOB: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

UG:BIO-MEDICAL
JOB: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

UG:ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION
JOB: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

UG: ANY ENGINEERING COURSE UNDER THE SUN
JOB: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

why is this happening? why do ppl decide to specialise in a field of engineering....study for 4 years and eventually decide not to continue with that and eventually enter the IT industry???? Bio tech for example.....leads u through a course that makes u a professional in the very basics of all life and teaches u diferent ways of experimenting with DNA...Genetic codes and what not.they are trained in the course of 4 yrs to specialise in their subjects.....for what?.... to eventually end up with software engineering?? is it the money that tempts them so much or what??? i do agree the IT industry does give off generous amounts of cash as soon as the engineers get the jobs but why dont ppl take some time off and realise dat doin a PG in their own course would probably help them a lot more and would even eventually lead to bigger paycheques....they could specialise in their own fields and get better technical jobs connected to bigger companies rite?????? could somebody help me out here.....was speakin with a friend of mine which made me take time out and think about this.......
MY VIEW OF THIS TOPIC IS PRETTY NARROW MINDED AND I HONESTLY DON KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE IT INDUSTRY. SO NO OFFENCE TO ANYBODY WHO'S PROBABLY DOIN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING. I WAS JUS LOOKIN FOR AN ANSWER....SO THOUGHT I WOULD BRING UP THE QUESTION HERE. NO OFFENCE AGAIN GUYS! THANKS! lookin out for some views.....

A Real Life Simpsons Intro....

This is simply TOO AWSOME!!!! every simpsons fan on earth should check this out...really cute...wait for the whole thing to load for the first time and watch it the second time....its damn cool...enjoy!

Nero Burning Rom....

Many of u guys probably have cd or dvd writers and most of u probably use Nero Burning Rom cause its like one of the best burnin softwares around...ever tried to analyze the name? nero-burning-rom??? it makes sense right?? assuming Nero is the company name, Burning would indicate burning or writing discs...and Rom should stand for the cd rom or the dvd rom...it makes perfect sense......right??? Wrong! it has a pun in it.

Now here's the cool part...the name happens to be something way cooler than u think!
Nero stands for the Roman Emperor Nero who ruled the roman empire for fourteen years. On the night of July 18th...64 AD, There was a fire that broke out in rome which was later called the Great Fire of Rome. This fire lasted for about a week at thousands of people had lost their homes and families. It was said that during the fire, Nero stood in his palace, watched the flames and sang The sack of Ilium which is an epic of Greek Literature that depicts the Trojan Wars. Eventually word had spread about this and people started suspecting Nero of starting the fire himself since he always proposed for a better built Rome and had his own plans of rebuilding rome during his rule. So eventually people started considering the fact that "Nero Burnt Rome". The same sentence in a present tense would be "Nero Burning Rome". In german...Rome is spelt "Rom" and not "Rome". So the whole thing FINALLY makes sense....The software named Nero Burning Rome actually indicates The emperor Nero Burning Rome....even the official logo of the software is a picture of the Colloseum in rome...burning. Damn cool huh?

Scream or Cry??? u decide...

A few examples of insiginificant incidents that can piss ppl off real bad...

I hate it when i suddenly wake up and look at my alarm clock to find that i still have a few more minutes for my alarm to ring...im so damn lazy...i hate to get up earlier than i should...but the problem is...if i go back to sleep...it'll take my sleep filled head at least half an hour of alarm ringin for me to get up...Damn...how i hate such situations...im in sucha confused state! "To sleep or not to sleep" dat is the question...


U start drinkin a cup of coffee early in the mornin. there ain't no sugar in it. since u jus got up...ur probably too lazy to walk all the way to kitchen again to get some sugar, neither do u feel like disturbin the person who made the coffee for u. so u actually gulp down the tasteless bitter coffee slowly only to discover undissolved sugar at the bottom of the cup.

With a Little Help From My Friends...


Finally....after so long...after all the endless hours of dreaming...imagining and even pretending...a few friends and I are gonna meet up today and Jam to see if we can make something happen...and well if something DOES happen...we'll perform for the next college function whatever it may be(i assume that would be sometime in the near future). For now...its me(guitars), Kaushik(vocals) and Harry(keyboards). Kaushik cant sing and I cant play. so its upto harry to baiscally save the day!!(that rhymes by the way). We'll be tryin out a few songs from Green Day, Aqualung, Conway Twitty and Coldplay. I jus hope it clicks and everything works out...with a little help from my friends.

What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song,
And I’ll try not to sing out of key.
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends,
Going to try with a little help from my friends.

Anneliese Michel...(1952-1976)

I happen to be a very strong believer in spirits, ghosts, heaven, hell, demons and strongly believe in the fact that they influence life in a lotta ways. although im supposed to be a man of science and supposed to always look at the scientific aproach towards anything....i still strongly believe in the above mentioned "things".

There are firm reasons for my belief which i don really wish to share. some of u ppl might know what im talkin about but i have enough of personal reasons to believe in the existence in the paranormal world. a loved one will never leave u forever even after his or her death and u can be absolutely sure he or her is always there. i also feel disturbed spirits can never rest until whatever they wanted is totally accomplished.

I went for this movie today...The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Most of u guys would have probably seen "The Exorcist" or probably "Exorcist-The Beginning". Although this movie was mostly the same thing. i.e:the devil possessing a girl and a preis tries to drive it away and stuff......There was one particular line that flashed before and after the movie that made me quite curious.

"BASED ON A TRUE STORY"

Walkin outta the theatre...i was actually wonderin how the whole thing could actually happen to a young girl in real life. Thats when i decided to study a bit on the facts. Thats when i discovered, Anneliese Michel. The young girl from Bavaria, Germany.

She was a normal girl who led a normal life until one day when she was 16. She felt there were forces acting on her...that didn't let her call for help and paralysed her. She was considered Epileptic and was admitted to a hospital. The "attacks" didn't stop. She began seeing Demonic Faces in her daily prayers and was slowly being taken over. since none of the medical attention she was getting seemed to help, her parents decided to perform an exorcism on her. By this time, anneliese started eating spiders and coal since the demons didn't let her eat normal food. after all this, the church finally agreed to conduct the exorcism on her. During these exorcisms, she revealed that it wasn't one, but six demons were inside her. Lucifer, Nero, Cain, Judas, Legion and Belial. All the exorcisms were audio taped and they also recorded the demons arguing with eah other as to who would stay in her body and who wouldn't.Anneliese talked about wanting to die in order to save the souls of others. She stopped eating, rejected all medical help, and relied solely upon the priests to deliver her from the demons she believed were attacking her. Her knees ruptured after about 600 exorcisms due to the genuflections she had to do(kneeling down on the floor in prayer). She suffered from malnutrition and didn't even have strength to walk but during the exorcisms, she would sometimes need to be tied up in chains as there were sudden bursts of violence leading to her destroying pictures of christ and crucifixes in the house. She eventually died out of starvation during one of the exorcisms.

All this makes one helluva fiction story. but it ain't one. Believe it or not...it happened. It happened way before any of us were even born which is why nobody even knows about it. Whether or not she was possessed by demons is open to debate, but nothing can diminish the tragedy of her passing.Her grave became, and remains, a place of pilgrimage and religious importance to those who believe that the brave girl lost her life fighting the forces of darkness.

While The Exorcism of Emily Rose bears the legend "based on a true story," respect must be given to the actual people and events on which the story is taken. Audiences should not forget, while they are being entertained, that no matter what their beliefs, Anneliese Michel, the real "Emily Rose," was no fictional character.

A request. please click on the Anneliese Michel link and read the whole story.
