He came, He waved, He conquered!

The most awaited moment of recent BITSian history happened today, and it was worth the wait.Even though we could not get the audi pases, we made most of what we had.

At 2:30PM a BIG gang of students stood outside the library, under the scorching sun, jubiliating at every sound of a passing automobile in anticipation of the most powerful man in the country.

The moment finally arrived at 2:48PM.

A short, frail looking old man, extremely healthy for his 76 summers, walked out of a small ambasador car (which was followed by a long fleet of other vehicles) under the shade of a blue umbrella. He hopped up the library stairs and into the shade of the library roof. Then as if an afterthought, he walked straight back into the sun, sending his security men into a tizzy. An old man with white flowing silvery hair, stood on the library stairs and waved at us!

The President of India had arrived!!!

After a short 3 minute walk inside the library he walked out and straight into his car. This time he ordered his driver to drive slow. The entire convoy of 27 cars went past us at less than 10kmph. Dr.Kalam unfolded his blinds of the car and watched all of us shouting and waving in exhilaration of having the first citizen of the nation wave back and smile at us.

Once inside the audi, after the initial formalities of the welcome speech by the VC, the most awaited "invited lecture" in BITSian history began. Dr.Kalam talked about "Convergence of Technology". He felt BITS, with all its multidisciplinary approach and flexibilities was the right venue to broach such a discussion. The man started with World-Class systems, drifted into nano-technology and carbon nano-tubes. He talked about bioSciences and its culmination with information technology to form bio-informatics. He spoke of design and manufacturing and the strides our nation was taking in these fields. He then spoke of INdia's commitment to global development by citing an example of our support in helping in wiring the 53 african nations in one BIG wired network. He sought active BITSian support in this initiative.

Then there was a small QnA session. The normal questions regarding poverty level in india, multi-cultural affects on students in 21st century, moon mission etc were asked and answered with aplomb by his excellency.KrishnaHasa from my-india gave a small intro about my india and asked Dr.Kalam about howstudents could channelise their forces for better utilisation of communities like my-india. The president promptly replied that the most important goal of a student is excellence in education. The activities like social service, my-india etc can be carried out in your liesure time as on sundays and holidays, but he again emphasised that the foremost aim of a student is excellence in academics and nothing else.

Sindu Anand was the last to ask the question. She asked something related to righteousness.His excellency ended his speech in BITS by answering this question with the following words and made us repaet them after him.

"When there is righteousness in the hearts, there is beauty of character
When there is beauty of character, there is harmony in the home

When there is harmony in the home, there is order in the nation

When there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world"

After this he left the auditorium and proceeded on his journey to jaipur.

The much awaited visit had come to an end and we were fortunate to be a part of it.

TOP TEN LUXURY CARS!

10. Mercedes-Benz SL-Class: Want a roadster on warm, sunny days and a coupe on cold, rainy ones? Then you want the SL roadster and its retractable hardtop. Available with all of the same engines as the CL coupe, this Benz is equally unflappable in the turns

9. Mercedes-Benz E-Class: The E-Class is the priciest of all premium midsize sedans, but one look at the car and you'll know why: It's sleek, sexy and overflowing with curbside prestige. The high-performance yet still docile E55 would be our choice

8. Mercedes-Benz CL-Class: Probably the most refined coupe of them all, the CL has the classiest furnishings of any Mercedes. And if you know even a little about horsepower and torque, you'll salivate over the engine lineup, which ranges from a naturally aspirated V8 to a twin-turbo V12

7. Lexus LX 470: Rich wood trim, amazing off-road ability and an easygoing manner on pavement define the LX 470. If the Range Rover isn't plush enough for you and/or room for seven is a must, here's your premium SUV

6. Lexus LS 430: For those who still look for maximum value even when buying a high-dollar vehicle, the LS is an excellent choice. Fitted with what may be the world's most comfortable seats, the Lexus flagship offers the best package of features you'll find in this class

5. Land Rover Range Rover: If your idea of luxury involves a sport-utility vehicle, it would be hard to find one more distinctive than the Range Rover. It can handle a night out on the town as well as it can an off-road trail. The cabin provides the ambience of a safari vehicle yet is lavish all the same

4. Cadillac STS: A domestic car on a list of premier luxury cars? That's right. Cadillac has finally built a sedan that meets the Germans on their terms when it comes to driving dynamics and luxury accoutrements

. BMW 6 Series: The sportiest of personal luxury coupes, the 645Ci is a driver's car that doesn't compromise a bit on luxury. The sleek convertible version beckons to buyers in mild climates

2. Audi A8: If the A6 isn't big enough for you, try Audi's flagship A8. A lightweight aluminum chassis makes it feel more nimble than other full-size sedans. And an intuitive control system makes it easy to manage its myriad of functions

1. Audi A6: It may be just a midsize car, but this Audi has more style and luxury than vehicles twice its size, along with an exceptionally refined driving demeanor

NO WORDS!

Best Movie, my views

Departed!!!!!

Well, my first reaction was shock, then amazement, then I accepted the fact that the academy people had finally lost it. I do not say that The Departed is a bad movie, it was definetly one of the better movies of the year yet not the best!

Maybe the following points will make it clear why I said the above.

BABEL : Death is the greatest leveler

Well, thats the message from the movie. Death or almost something very near it.
The near death experience of Cate Blanchett creates enormous amount of ripples through four countries and three continents.

That one act rekindles the dying marriage of an american couple in morocco, completely destroys a moroccon shepherd's family, rips apart the career of a mexican lady in america, yet reuniting her with her family in mexico, ignites the debate of terrorism in morocco and totally screws up the only chance of a dumb and deaf japanese girl to get laid.

Death is definetly the greatest leveler, but with a theme as gloomy as this, the movie was bound to get depressing and dark, yet somewhere in it you could spot the message it tried to deliver.

The Queen : "Tradition prepared her. Change will define her."

"The Queen" isn't one of those self-important projects that constitutes a duty rather than a pleasure. It's an elegant mixture of deft, lightly impudent high comedy and human-scaled drama. Dame Helen Mirren gives a stellar perfomance. Of course, it's unlikely any of us will ever read the following sentence in any review: "Helen Mirren disappoints in the title role."

The Queen situates its title subject slightly off to one side without lessening our interest. This film is a tale of two leaders. The queen represents one image of England, the Classical image. The new prime minister, Tony Blair, represents another, fresher image, the New Labour Party in action. The Queen alternates between scenes of the royals cloistered away in their Scottish hideaway, wondering what the worldwide fuss regarding Diana's death really means, and scenes of Blair and his wife, or Blair and his cabinet. The PM must finesse a tricky week with the public and a trickier one with a woman who puts no value on public expression of sorrow. "Restrained grief and sober, private mourning," the queen says--that's the civil approach, "and that's what the world has admired us for". That to me is the defining moment of the movie, a moment in which The Queen takes in everything that tradition taught her and tries to re-invent herself in these changing times.


Little Miss Sunshine: A situation comedy that rescues the very meaning of the phrase

You want to hug the Hoover family, which is surprising given how cranky and ill-fitting they seem at the start. They're middle-class suburbanites hanging on by split fingernails: dad Richard is an unemployed motivational speaker desperately trying to turn his nine-step "Refuse to Lose" program into a book deal and a national brand. Mommy hoover is the breadwinner ready to relegate her patience and understanding to the back of the crisper drawer. Teenage son Dwayne is a sullen ghost who reads Nietzsche and has taken a vow of silence until he's old enough to escape to flight school. The Little Miss Sunshine is the seven year old kiddo of the family Olive whose only aim in life is to win the pageant.
The film's most sitcom-ready invention is Grandpa, a heroin-snorting scoundrel living with the family only because he was kicked out of Sunset Manor, a befiting award to Alan Arkin for his hilarious portrayal.

But other than the dysfunctional family providing those punches of laughter now and then, I have neverunderstoof how it came to be in the contention for the BIG one. As the Hindu puts it " Its too low brow to merit an oscar".

Letters from Iwo Jima: The best movie of the year, too bad its japanese!

The movie is filmed in sepia tones, contributing to the film's depressing, ultimately hopeless view of those Japanese soldiers mired in what will be inevitable defeat. To say Letters from Iwo Jima is a heart-wrenching film is an understatement, but Eastwood directs with a simplicity that ensures the subject matter never becomes heavy-handed. The blanched-out cinematography and subtle computer effects heighten the realism instead of distract from it.

Letters From Iwo Jima gives the global audience a small glimpse into the world of Imperial Japan during World War II, and more specifically, the Japanese soldiers who fought to defend the island. Although there are some historical inaccuracies, I felt the film was very successful in expressing the Japanese soldiers' ambivalent emotions of patriotism to their country, as well as the reality that they were going to die fighting a war, which by that time, could not be won.
The movie gives a very human aspect to the Japanese soldiers by showing, through their letters, that they, like their American counterparts, just wanted to end the war and go home to their family. They were not the merciless, suicidal robots that many people like to imagine, but simply were human beings fighting for their country and for a cause which, regardless if they believed in or not, had to respect.

I feel it was better than any other movies in this category ( its a little long, and there are movies that did not get nominated, yet were good) and its the only one that truly deserves the golden statue. Its a pity that it had to be a japanese movie.

The Departed: well, its the winner!

A hugely successful 2002 Hong Kong thriller, "Infernal Affairs," provides the blueprint that is essentially a tale of two moles. Or brother rats, if you like. Departed is a direct lift off from here.
I guess al of us have watched this movie last semester!

"The Departed" is Scorsese acting accordingly — fast, fluid and light on his feet. He's helped enormously by some clever adaptation, which firmly transplants the action to south Boston. For instance, one character quotes : "The Irish are the only people impervious to psychoanalysis."
Bet that wasn't in the Hong Kong version.
Still, much of the movie is vintage Scorsese (read DESI) . A severed hand with a wedding ring still on it. Wahlberg rat-a-tat-tat-ing expletive-loaded lines with Al Capone aplomb. Conventional gangster wisdom along the lines of what Mr. French tells Billy after the newcomer smashes a bottle over the head of someone sitting next to him at a bar. "There are guys you can hit and guys you can't," he cautions, sounding like a concerned Boy Scout leader. Now in how many movies have you heard this very dialogue- hundreds!

"The Departed's" only flaw — and it is, perhaps, inherent in the concept of adapting a Hong Kong shoot'em-up — is that the film never ripens into something deeper than its splendid cat-and-rat game. Surrogate fathers and fatherless sons are underlying themes, but the emphasis remains on the guns, guts, corpses and, in this case, cellphones.

That I do not believe is worthy of an oscar. Its not a bad movie, but It doesn not deserve the BIG prize!




PS: Please feel free to hate me!

Rocking in audi!!!

Now from the title of this section please do not jump to the conclusion that there was a musical nite or an amazing movie in the audi. Today I discovered a new dimension to myself. I had been to the annual music festival of Ragamalika, SANGAMAM 2007, its eleventh edition in BITS Pilani.

After a brief inaugural function attended by the likes of VC LKM, Dy Diros and Deans the first concert of Sangamam 2007 kicked off. It was by Sangeetha Kalanithi Sangeetha Shikhamani Padma Bhushan Shri. Dr. T.V.Shankaranarayanan.

He started the musical journey with a vandana to ganesha in his enchanting style with violins and ghatam playing in the background - I rediscovered carnatic music. In the pin-drop silence of the evening, the maestro's voice drowned BITSians in an ocean of mixed emotions - the feeling of melancholy, but we were enjoying that, his voice was deep - touching our souls - but we felt lighter too at the same time.

He enthralled us with his magical voice for one full hour. In the end it was a brilliant experience for me and Haki. We decicded to drop in for tommorrow's concert as well- a jugalbandhi of sitar and bansuri. Will update on it soon.

The audi was truly ROCKING!!!

More on Vint Cerf.

This was the Vint Cerf, first day at office in Google. As he was given the post of Chief Internet Evangelist, he didn't know what to wear.Photo was taken by Eric, CEO, Google who happened to carry his digicam.



Vint Cerf was 'feeling lucky' perhaps for the reason that he was the only one to have faced the shortest interview.
Vint Cerf was a friend of Eric Schmidt.

Vint Cerf - " Eric can you do me a favor?'
Eric - " Yes"

And he was in. He was inducted into Google as the Vice President and when asked what he wanted his post to be called, he said the 'Archduke'. But later realized the problems associated and they named him as the "Chief Internet Evangelist".


Vinton Gray Cerf, remains one of the most respected and influential person in the present Information age.

The Father of Internet Speaks!

Vinton G Cerf, the so called Father of Internet, Chief Internet Evangelist, VP Google, was here in Bangalore. There was a buzz of his coming from some time.. abhi and me decided to go in the last minute, of course he got that jpg invite! The talk was pretty decent. He was a simple man with good sense of humor and he talked on the various things on how technology was being used to improve life.
He talked on the various problems that the present technology is facing. Semantic networking being one of them. He is working on the interplanetary internet system. The major focus being communication between Earth and Mars. He explained the problems in setting up such a network.
Cerf predicted that mobile phones, not personal computers, will fuel growth of the worldwide web as countries like India snap up millions of handsets. Then he focussed on using of more mobile phones & laptops so that people know what are the real time problems and how they can be improved. He says internet will be the only medium of communication which will have impact on every facet of life, but definitely there will be a time when some means will be invented which would have a greater impact than the internet.

The talk was a pretty good one. though we rated in between 3-4/5 it was a good chance to go see someone great like Vint Cerf. Every aspect in life is developing and when we see a new one there is definitely no time to look back, and as far as the knowledge bank is increasing tremendously, the present technology will cease to exist.

GONE

She told him she’d rather fix her makeup

Than try to fix what’s going on

But the problem keeps on calling

Even with the cellphone gone

She told him that she believes in living

Bigger than she’s living now

But her world keeps spinning backwards

And upsidedown

Don’t say so long in the cellphone

Don’t spend today away

Cuz today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone,

Like history is

Gone, just trying to prove me wrong

And pretend like your immortal

She said he said live like no tomorrow

Every day we borrow

Brings us one step closer to the edge

(infinity)

Where your treasure, where’s your hope

Forget the world and lose your soul

She pretends like she pretends like she’s immortal

Don’t say so long

Your not that far gone

This could be your big chance to makeup

Today will soon be

Gone, like yeterday is gone,

Like history is gone,

The world keeps spinning on,

Your going going gone,

Like summer break is gone,

Like saturday is gone

Just trying to prove me wrong

You pretend like your immortal

your immortal

We are not infinite

We are not permanate

Nothing is immediate

We’re so confident

In our accomplishments

Look at how dark it is

Gone, like frank sinatra

Like elvis and his mom

Like al pichino’s cash nothing lasts in this life

My highschool dreams are gone

My childhood sweets are gone

Life is a day that doesn’t last for long

Life is more than money

Time was never money

Time was never cash,

Life is still more than girls

Life is more than hundred dollar bills

And oh the town fills

Life more than fame and rock and roll and thrills

All the riches of the kings

And up in wills we got information in the information age

But do we know what life is

Outside of our conveinent lexus cages

She said he said live like no tomorrow

Every moment that we borrow

Brings us closer to the God who’s not short of cash

Hey bono I’m glad you asked

Life is still worth living, life is still worth living

AllAdvantage 2.0 - Get Paid To Surf The Net

AllAdvantage 2.0 - Get Paid To Surf The Net

I can’t believe it! AllAdvantage is back! For those who don’t know, AllAdvantage was a site that paid you to surf the Internet. What’s more, it paid you when you refer other people to surf, and paid you again if those people referred other people - down four levels.

AllAdvantage 2.0 comes with a new name, AGLOCO, which stands for A Global Community. This time, the founders are doing things a bit differently. They said that AllAdvantage failed the last time because the timing, and not the concept, was bad. They may be right, and there is certainly nothing wrong with trying again. If they can sign up as many people as they did last time, and the advertising market doesn’t implode, I say they will have a success on their hands.

When you run the AGLOCO Viewbar, AGLOCO will pay to you to surf the web (currently up to 5 hours/month). Once the five hours are up, you can turn the Viewbar off until next month. However, you also make money on every hour for people you referred when they surf, and income is made for every hour for people they referred down to 4 levels. There is no cap on how much you can make because of this.

According to the AGLOCO member calculator, if you sign up 10 people and those referrals sign up 5 people, and those sign up five all the way down the 4 four levels, you would earn 9,767.50 per month! However, before you start doing jumping jacks, that figure is not a dollar amount - it reflects earnings in both cash and stock of the company. The stock price has yet to be determined.

You can sign up for AGLOCO here.

Please do give it a shot!! U dont need to spend a penny... :)

philosophy of love!

philosophy of love!

Hello people! for those who havn't read this.. an interesting article forwarded to me! nice one... apparently, explains you everything about a relation... kudos to the writer of this article! EVERYONE!comment on this after u guys read!

For ages, saints, philosophers and geniuses around the world have tried understanding the subject of romance and love, but to their dismay, this "phenomenon" couldn't be explained and to your disbelief, it could be the next thing that would happen to you and yet you wouldn't be able to explain it. And mind you, Albert Einstein had a divorce! Well, I'm a guy here and in this blog, i shall try to put a guy's perspective to this subject... And guys! for ages, we have tried understanding girls, and all were in sheer vain! And for all the readers and bloggers reading this extract, this is not one of those "10 ways to get a girl" misconception, but just my expression of dismay and disbelief! ;)

Let's put it that way! Any guy has this internal urge to have a female companionship which is consistent for the rest of his life. Guys roam around flirting in the beginning of their hormonal change stages. They can't get committed at that point of time. And if they do, it is bound to break out of his own frivolous decisions. But as they move on, at one point of time, they lose this flirtatious interest and look for a committed companionship. And in fact they get bored of flirting and require a person with whom they can share their innermost feelings. A guy might superficially look well-built and tough, but he is the most vulnerable at heart... a very emotional being. On the contrary, girls, who look a lot weaker than guys are the toughest nut when it comes to their emotions and feelings. They are sometimes cold in the name of being "practical". Well, no offence meant to the woman-hood out there, it is just a crude fact. And you know it yourself! I'm not saying they are not emotional, but always forego their emotional side for their practical side... Let me prove it wrong by the end of this page!

Every guy at this stage of companionship needs a girl who will really understand him. We love every other small fights that happen with a girl, because at the end of it all, that is what will bring in the stimulating element called "Spice" in it! Once we guys decide that the girl is worth his efforts, he wouldn't be interested in any other girl immaterial of other offers that he might run through! Or even if he does, it might be just one of the reasons to make her jealous or just for the heck of it and will never be intentional. Guys who actually have an infidel nature are not worth your efforts girls... because at the end of it all, their basic need is their basic instinct "SEX" and I think no girl would want to lose their life over such guys!

Coming to the romance part, When he likes a girl, it is not for the "SEX" thing that he likes her... it stands as a testimony of her character and the person she is! And for God's sake, love is never just sex to a serious guy! I don't know if this is one of the misconceptions that every other girl has.... Let me tell you, we never want to take advantage of the girl whom we truly love! We too value culture as we all have a certain family background. We understand your insecurity but there's no other way to express it. The least we would want to do are explained in the next paragraph...Well, speaking about me, I've had crushes as any other guy would have... But a guy realizes his true love when he has this need for companionship and when he finds a girl who would really satisfy the need... and the need is not based on instincts, but feelings. I've or lets say I'm in love with a person whom i treasure the most... more than myself... and this is not a statement of impracticality but a word from the heart... I treasured her as my best friend and slowly started realizing something inside of me... Felt for her so much... and not because of her looks... but for the person as she is... As I said in the previous paragraph, the things which a Guy would want to do... I at least wanted to do all these... I'm also giving the explanation as to what it means to a guy. I'm sure no guy would reject it... );

1) Hold hands with her. [it simply means we love her support and just feel her close to our heart]

2) Go for a long walk in the evening holding her hand. [It simply means, we look forward to a future with her and she means more to our future]

3) Sit on the beach at sunset with arms around her shoulder [It simply means, we just love her company and would love to share our emotional side with her]

4) A hug [Gives us a sense of comfort that they're there for us]

5) And finally, a kiss. [This is just a way of showing affection and a one-to-one feeling]

And lets be frank! If any girl is going to fight over with the above five points saying this is crap! Then it is really not being practical! Ask any girl whether she wouldn't like these? She'll be hesitant in answering!This is every other guy's story, where he'll approach the girl and the first thing you'll face is rejection from the girl! Very typical answers and actions would be:

1) She would say she is not interested in such stuff as love and it is all crap! Let me ask you a question girls, seriously, are you all not planning to get married? The way you answer seriously gives us the image that you're going to dedicate your life to social service. And if by chance, any girl is seriously interested in that, no guy would put a full stop to it! We have aspirations and we value the same as that of our partners!
2) "I couldn't see you as my soul mate!" Do you girls think of this question when your parents arrange for your marriage? Or even think of whether he's the right person for you if you were to think of this question? And do you ever think of the "missing chemistry" that you always keep saying about?
3) "I just saw you as my friend" and this again is a very non-sensical answer! At the bottom line, you're a female and we're males! what more do you want in a guy for the existence and continuation of human race?!

4) "I just saw you as my brother" This is the worst of answers! apart from being humorous, lets be a little practical here! We're not born from the same womb! and no guy would want to propose to his sister! We don't live in an Egyptian Civilization where brothers married sisters! We're talking of a proper sensible civilization here! We're not desperate!

I don't know know why these answers crop up! But at the end of it all, its just serious crap! Look at it from a sensible viewpoint! If you were to ask these questions to yourself girls and then decide a guy is never worth it, then he's really not worth it!

1) Has he got the capacity to earn and stand on his own as well as support a family?

2) Is he one of those jerks, who keeps playing around with women?

3) Is he loyal?

4) Can he be a good partner who gives me the freedom to pursue my aspirations?

5) Has he got the guts to face any problem or is he one of those losers who will just quit at the face of a problem?

If you're worried of your parents' acceptance, no parent would deny a responsible and settled guy. At the end of the day when they select one for you, its going to be the same criteria under which they would select apart from being "a good guy" factor!

Let me tell you all one thing! We guys wont forego our future for anything. And we're not mad to do that! Even for our basic existence, we need to settle down! And we wont give our lives for the sake of love! All we wanted was to share the living with you... If you're not ready for it, you're the one missing his share! And we're not gonna die for that! We've got aspirations on our own! and we also have parents to think about! We do have their dreams to be fulfilled! And if at all a guy decides to do that! then be cautious of him! Because he's not even got the guts to face failure and life with him will be miserable! So, if you girls have doubt on us settling down, then we're sorry! we cant explain more than this!

To conclude it all, all i wanted to say to the womanhood was to take decisions based on their heart which is more practical than their practical side... In the beginning of it all, it would seem a little insecure, but then see, as we grow into a responsible adult. And take off all those notions from your mind and make your decisions a little sensible. This is not to degrade woman hood but to make you understand that we guys are not idiots! I love my mom and she has been the best support to me, right from the day I was born, in spite of her nervous disorder! I treasure her like no one else! She has this determination to make this family run in spite of the difficulties and failures! Now thats being one sensible and one hell of a lady! love you mom!

later,

MADDY
