Its Saturday night....

and one day of my short-short vacation is already over..

In the past two days, I've seen three movies..yesterday I saw Ahista Ahista, Lage Raho Munnabhai and right now I am watching some stupid John-Bipasha movie

Well, today i've decided to write my first movie review for you guys..

I'll tell you about Ahista Ahista..you know, its a terrible movie..

I mean, Abhay Deol looks like a monkey all through the movie.. and so does Shayan Munshi.. as it is, ever since I know about what a horrible person Shayan Munshi is .. I dont like his face at all...

I mean, perjury is  a terrible thing, and then in such a case where justice is so important.. he just turned hostile..

anways, lets get back to the movie..

Abhay Deol is a guy who works as a witness for people wanting to get married in court.. He charges Rs 200 per marriage..

One day he sees Soha Ali Khan (she looks cute!!) standing outside the court, waiting for her fiancee. But as is obvious from go.. the fiancee doesnt turn up and poor Abhay Deol decides to take her under his wing.. he helps her to get a job in an old age home..

In turn, she helps him to build a better career as a bank agent... Abhay Deol falls in love with her (and Soha falls in love with him)and asks her to marry him..

And now, u tell me Shayan Munshi comes back.. Well, you are absolutely right.. Its the same ghisa pita story.. Shayan Munshi explains his story, gives his excuses and Soha falls for it.

Abhay Deol signs as their witness and goes off into the sunlight..

Stupid movie, ain't it?? Atleast they could've got Soha married to Abhay.. that would've made some sense...but this..

nah, its not my kinda movie.. but go ahead if u wanna check it out...

Now its time for bed..

Sayo Nara..

Good Night...

Sweet Dreams...

It is Friday...

and this time its a long weekend.. I gotta holiday on Monday too..

I just wish Gandhiji could have been born on October 3, then it would've been even better.. I've got a holiday on Tuesday also.. ain't it??

So , you ask, what are my plans for the weekend..

Well, Richa is coming down tomorrow...and I've bullied Chintan into bringing her to my place first.. so we're gonna have lots and lots of fun.. then there is that Google competition..lets see if I have the time to attend it.. I'll update you with the type of stuff it was about .. that is in case i do attend of which I am doubtful..

Then Sunday we are going to a movie.. so if you've seen any of the new ones over the weekend then do review it for me..so we dont waste time..

and then monday i am gonna get some assignments done.. lets forget about that for now..

hey, in case any of you are reading this stuff seriously, then please do give me a feedback.. i mean, its really important..

Finally..

I've got the computer all to myself for some time..

so why dont i give you an update about my day..

well, in the morning it was the usual rush-rush..i reached college 10 minutes early which is also usual.. then lenin sir gave the first bad news of the day.. i.e. wait another week for the result..
he made some excuse about being busy for the weekend and then made some lame joke about him and his wife renewing their marriage contract every 5 years.. i really dont know how the poor woman suffers his PJ's..

then we went to the lab where I made a new record today which is of switching places maximum times.. these were the problems i faced at the five PC's i tried:
  1. not a comfortable position, let me shift to the first row where i can see the screen better (because bechara shubam jain was going to assist us with our SQL)..
  2. the LAN is not working in this row, its working in that one..
  3. oh gosh, the mouse is not workin..i wish i could just throw it against the wall..
  4. this PC does not detect my memory stick...
  5. ah finally..its 11:45 and i find a place to work comfortably.. who cares if i gotta leave the lab at 12..

Then we went to the cafe and as usual sat and stuffed ourselves for about an hour, and then whiled away time for another hour..

Its time for Prof Maniklal's class.. if u've got some tips to stay awake in boring classes please do let me know.. i really need it for this class... i dont know how i manage to keep my eyes open..

Then we put up with English presentations for two more hours...some interesting, others a little boring.. put the effort was definitely laudable.. way to go people..

spent some time doing stuff, coding..and here i am indulging in my favorite part of the day...

boring you dear reader with my activities...

if you've managed to reach this point in the post, i appreciate your guts and patience.. thanx a lot..

logging off for now..

cheers,
pankti..

I am feeling...

..marginally better..

Nokia has agreed to replace my phone..

Then, you ask..why am I feeling only marginally better?? Shouldnt I be jumping for joy?? I am going to get a brand new handset after all..

Well, firstly i've lost a lot of data..

Secondly, there is vague dissatisfaction with life that I am feeling since a few days.. I cant seem to understand why..

if you know the reason..do help me out..

Be a rebel..

This is just so i can express my joy that Rang DeBasanti has been chosen as India's official entry to the Oscars...way to go rebels!!
Hope they win!!

in honor of the stupid sardar...

Disclaimer: Well, i usually dont see the meaning making jokes on sardars and blondes..i mean, whats the point. ..But you see I am unusually ticked off at the sardar who sold me the phone and is now refusing to take responsibility.. so let me tell u first of all that this post is especially for him..and not, i repeat NOT for any other sardar.. now that've we got that cleared up .. i'll just tell you the dumb joke..

A sardarji goes for a job interview in an office. The interviewer starts
with the basics. "So, Mr, can you tell us your age, please?"
The sardarji counts carefully on his fingers for half a minute before
replying. "Um ... 22."

The interviewer tries another straightforward one to break the ice. "And
can you tell us your height, please?" The sardarji stands up and produces
a measuring tape from his handbag.. he then traps one end under his foot
and extends the tape to the top of his head. he checks the measurement
and announces, "Five foot two!"
This isn't looking good so the
interviewer goes for the real basics; something the he won't have to
count, measure, or lookup. "Just to confirm for our records, your name
please?" The sardarji bobs his head from side to side for about fifteen
seconds, mouthing something silently to himself, before replying,
"Gurpreet!"

The interviewer is completely baffled at this stage, so he asks, "What
were you doing when I asked you your
name?" "Oh, that!" replies the sardarji," I was just running through that
song, 'Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you...Happy Birthday dear Gurpreet...happy birthday to
you...'. !!!

hey there...

see...didnt i tell you i had a feeling about the day...

it turned out exactly as i had anticipated...maybe even worse..
i mean what could be worse than getting 39 marks in CO..
a subject like computer organization and OS??
in which dear hemal ma'am always used to give me such good marks..
it is in times like these and ONLY in times like this that i miss stupid old HL..

and then when i saw the maths TA..i felt like throttling him.. after all ..
he is the one who caused this stupid stupid mess..
how is anybody supposed to perform calculations like 16^4 without using a calculator...is he crazy or is he crazy..?? whatever, now i've decided to be a saint and forgive him...i.e. i've decided to let him live..but if he does any such stunt again.. well, lets just say he shouldnt try it..

and then my poor poor phone...or shud i say poor poor me..??its not working and i am in deep trouble.. there are some things which i cannot put up with and this is one of them..
and if the nokia guy tries to re-format the thing this time, he is not gonna be a happy guy..
i swear to it guys.. he is DEAD!!

oh..and i forgot to mention the highlight of my day which happened in the morning itself..
just when i thought i should share my woes with my friends and was busily orkutting in the C++ lab, the TA caught me and reminded me ..that lab was meant for constructing and destructing variables, not relationships..

well, i am not being too much of a blogger today .. am I..?? threating to kill him and him and him..
but wat am i to do...
i hate being in this predicament.. i could almost say my poor n91 is suffering from the stupid chikun gunia... eewww.. i know thats a terrible terrible joke..sorry..

guess its time to log off for now.. before u come and beat me with a stick.. bbye

p.s. 39 marks is not out of 50..its from much much more.. no prizes for guessing..

What a day!!

or maybe I should say..what a monday..

let me begin by saying that per se, I hate Mondays. ..in fact, there is no day which i hate more than a monday.. but i've already bored you with this before ..so i wont start again..

this monday was extra-bad.. extra-horrible..

firstly i got up late..i snoozed off 5 times..
then when i finally got up, i realized that its the 2nd monday after the insems..we're sure to get our grades today..which for CO i am sure are going to be terrible..

and then came the sixer.. my beloved phone went dead on me.. now i dont know if i've told you this before, but i cannot , I repeat i cannot live without my phone.. i cannot exist without it.. and just like that it went dead.. although its not so bad that i cant make and receive (spellcheck this!) calls...i can ..in fact, i can even make and receive (spellcheck again) messages, but anything else is just impossible...i want this stupid phone replaced..please please somebody go and hammer the Nokia people..to stop making these lousy handsets..

well, its time to be off..labs almost started.. will keep ya posted on the status of the various tragedies of my life as listed above..

very upset and extremely mad at nokia and the world in general,
pankti.

Its weekend time...

.....and i am dancing wid joy... But i know that before i know it..it'll have slipped away...and i'll be back to boring old classes and routines..but before that let me enjoy myself...

You know yesterday I watched the movie "Anthony Kaun Hai"...my its a really dumb movie..and as you all know the music by himesh reshmiya is untolerable... but i wouldnt consider it a waste of time since i was also workin while watchin the dumb movie...

today is the beginning of navratri...(i.e. the nine nights of revelry) and as much as i love navratri..i had to get up early in the morning today and that really ticked me off...but since i have got up..i mite as welll put the time to good use and bore u,dear reader!!

Sup...here I am this Saturday morning.. making plans...speaking of which, I'll also have to make plans to catch up with all my assignments and stuff... there is the program in C++ to code (the compiler is not giving me memory access :(( ) ..dont know when i will manage to finish it..
and then i've got to work on the entity relationship diagram and the data dictionary..i really hate databases..especially ones which i've to design on my own... and then there is the research i've to do on RFID for my english presentation which seems to have taken permanent backseat..

so guys, i'll get back in the working mode for some time...even tough it is a weekend..

cheers,
pankti...

Finally, the day is coming to an end!!!
I hate Mondays.. firstly going back to work after lazing around all weekend is sooo tedious..
and on top of that, the bosses seem to hate it as well..so they take revenge on us by giving more and more work...
So here i am... waiting wistfully for the weekend again..
Signing off for now..

My Favorite Quotes

  • Dreams are not the ones which you get when you are asleep. They are those which will never let you sleep.
  • If life is a battle, fight it with a smile
    If life is success, stamp it on your file
    If life is destiny, emboss is on a file
    If life is sharing, just walk an extra mile.
  • Destiny is not a matter of chance, its a matter of choice;Its not a thing to be waited for, its a thing to be achieved.
  • Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.
  • I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, i can reach for; perfection is God's business.
  • People laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at them because they're all the same.
  • I never compete against the competition. One day I will beat the competition and then who will I compete against.
  • Challenges are high,the dreams are new,The world out there,is waiting for you,Dare to dream,dare to try,No goal is too distant,no start too high!
  • Everything in life has a beautiful ending...if its not beautiful its not the end!!
  • Its not always you get to hit the iron when its hot, I believe in hitting it so hard that it gets hot.

Will keep updating this list..

A good poem

I dont know the source of this poem, it was just a forward..but I find it really beautiful

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast. Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly? When you ask
How are you? Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.Time is short.
The music won't last ..
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
Hiiii,

Thanks for visiting my blog..
This is my first post so let me tell you something about myself..

Well, I am a typical Taurean which essentially means I am extremely lazy and stubborn.. so I just love to read and surf... (any activity which does not require me to move).. But books really are my passion and so is the the Internet. These are two things I cannot live without...(and my cell phone..) materialistically speaking.. As to being stubborn, well you can never force me to do anything..If i set my mind to something, I can do it. But only if I set my mind to it..

Another thing i am absolutely crazy about is my music... I just love music and cannot exist without it.. I pretty much listen to anything and everything...(in music that is...)

I am currently pursuing my Masters of Science(Information Technology) from DAIICT, Gandhinagar. So please feel free to post your comments...

Cheers,
Pankti.
