Carefree " Brand Ganesha " !

Pot-bellied And A Jumbo Nozzle Right At Its Place ! Winning Hearts Since Its Inception From 1893 ! This Bloke Has Gone Beyond The Ideology Of Hindu Followers...And Is Now A Celebrated Figure All Over The World ! " Lord Ganesha " This Is How We Know Him ! Uber-Cool, Well-Favoured, Happy-Go-Lucky This Is What We Conceived Of Him During Our Fairy-Tale Session With Our Family Members ! From A Small Family Affair During The Peshwa Rule To A Gargantuan All Country Affair....Surely “Brand Ganesha” Is On A Rise ! From Toys, T-Shirt Designs To Booze .... Its “ Lord Ganesha “ All Over !

But, Ever Wondered... We Always Worship Those Figures Who Never In Their Damn Career Ever Prepared A Curriculum Vitae ( CV ). Just Take The Case Of “ Lord Ganesha “. He Never Rammed His Grey Cells Into Any Of The Books By H.C.Verma Or “Resnik & Halliday”. He Never Queued Up In Front Of Any SBI Counter To Purchase A IIT-JEE, AIEEE, AIPMT, CAT, XAT Or Any Other “ Dare To Think Beyond IIM’s “ Institute Brochure. He Never Hit The Books By Kreyszig, P.N.Rao, De-Houst Or Amitabh Ghosh. He Never Used An “Xerox” Machine, Never Been On A Night-Out, Never Had A Grade-Sheet Or Subsequently Any Backlog. Never Ever He Surfaced In A Land Of Lopsided Sex-Ratio. He Never Had To Cerebrate Over Placement Or In-Hand Package. One Particular Thing He Might Be Begrudging Everyone Of Us Is That He Always Missed The Post-Placement Booze Party ( Kingfisher, Carlsberg, Haywards 5000 And Name A Few....Followed By Narking Roleplay ) [ :P ]. But “ Lord Ganesha “ Is Not The Only One. “ Lalu Prashad Yadav”, “ Sachin Tendulkar “ And Many More Names Have Already Made Their Journey Into The History. L.P.Yadav Made His Way Into The Dias Of Harvard Business School Whose Wesbite I Have Never Dared To Click Till Now. Why So-Called-Intelligent People Always Worship The So-Called-Unintelligent People ?

May Be The Answers Lies In The “ Albert Einstein “ Verbatim “ Imagination Is More Powerful Than Knowledge “. True! All These Aforementioned Guys Saw A Different World Through Their Eyes. They All Believed In Creativity, Imagination Rather Than In A Mere Rote-Learning Process. They Never Cared For Any Grade-Sheet, What They Cared For Was An Accomplishment Of Their Goals. We Too Are Not To Be Blamed For This Fiasco. Our System Surely Has To Be. Our Education System Demands Are Such , That From Day 1 In Our Nursery Schools, We Were Annealed, Quenched And Were Pre-Heated In A Hypothetical Rote-Learning Chamber To Bend Ourselves To The Demands Of The Society. Somewhere Down The Line Our Intrinsic “ Creativity “ Genes Were Lost To Such An Adverse Conditions. And Those Who Retained Those Specific Genes And Defied Every Other Possible Red-ox Reactions Are Now Making The Headlines Over Page 1. Examples Like Vinod Dham.

Anyways Now I Realised That I Spent Almost An Hour Writing Against My Fav “ Lord Ganesha “. Citing Every Possible Examples To Malign Him. Though This Was Not Intended. I Hope “ Lord Ganesha “ Is Listening To This And Reading Too ( If By Any Chance He Joined FB ). Dear Lord Bless Me By Clicking The “ Like “ Link !

Everyone Hail “ Lord Ganesha” !

India China At Cold War ??

"The Only Thing Necessary For The Triumph

Of Evil Is For Good Men To Do Nothing"

-Edmund Burke

"Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai"!!! [:)]

“Hindi-Chini Bhai-Bhai”.....a cliché that was and is quite glossy and spellbinding and find its way in almost all the 6-8 class NCERT literature books.

Are we really “Bhai-Bhai” ????

Think again...!!

This time...

Think hard..!!

Let me divulge the fact...

According to the report submitted by the External Affairs Minister of India Shri S.M.Krishna in Lok Sabha which disclose that “Under pressure and out of angst China may attack India by 2012 to camouflage its growing internal problems”.

So are we “Bhai-Bhai” anymore?? May be in Indian context we are where “Bhai-Bhai” altercates over minor issue. The recent ongoing conflict between the Ambani Brothers irreverent attitude towards “Gas-Supply” business protocol.

Overhauling the burgeoning “diplomatic-tension” between these fastest growing nation one may paraphrase the old cliché that is hackneyed.

The recent development in “diplomatic-tension” has been a migraine for both nations. China’s protest against the PM Manmohan Singh visit to Arunachal Pradesh(AP) which they claim their own state. As if it was not enough to add oxygen to diplomatic fire. They later refused a visa to an IAS officer who was supposed to visit Beijing. And the reason?? In a categorical statement to media Chinese authorities said AP is a part of China and the denizens of AP don’t need a visa to move around in their own country.

There’s more by the Chinese Authorities that added fuel to the “Indo-China worsening bilateral relationship”.

China again being obstinate firebrand protested against the “Indian Airforce Base” coming up at LADAKH. China’s dissent against the sanction of million dollar fund from the Asian Development Bank(ADB) for the “Water-Shed Programme” in AP and its objection to declare Jamat-Ul-Dawa by UN as a terror-outfit, which India has long postulated for. This clearly indicates that something itsy-bitsy conflict going on at ground-level.

China’s massive built-up of army infrastructure and air-force base and deployment of troops along the 3,500 long Line Of Actual Control (LAC) has been incubus for Indian Defence Officials.

More appalling news started making headlines when China asked the US to handover the Indian Ocean to Chinas Naval Vessels for patrolling deep in Indian Ocean which in return will force US Naval Vessel to leave Indian Ocean. This was later put to rest by the Americans Authorities.

It’s high time that “democratic-India” realised that precarious future with wary “communist-China” is at stake. Thanks to the Indian Politicians for diverting some funds from the Budget-2009 for infrastructure development in AP, which the Indian Defence Personals can meet in case of emergency.

Is the clairvoyance showing a war between India and China??

So we are not “Bhai-Bhai” anymore...Wait !!! May Be.....

May be we are the “Bhai-Bhai” of the underworld where everything comes with a price of war.

It's Economic Bailout !!

Hi folks this is a passage that I got from the net while was going through some leading online newspaper...I hope u all guys will enjoy...:)

" It is August. In a small town on the South Coast of France, holiday season is in full swing, but it is the rainy season not much business is taking place. Everyone is heavily in debt. Luckily, a rich Russian tourist arrives in the foyer of the small local hotel. He asks for a room, puts a 100 Euro note on the reception counter, takes a key, and goes upstairs to inspect the room.

The hotel owner takes the banknote and rushes to his meat supplier, to whom he owes E100.

The butcher takes the money and races to his wholesale supplier to pay his debt.

The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay E100 for pigs he purchased some time ago.

The farmer triumphantly gives the E100 note to a local prostitute who gave him her services on credit.

The prostitute goes quickly to the hotel, as she owed the hotel for her hourly room use to entertain clients.

At that moment, the rich Russian comes back down to reception, informs the hotel owner that the proposed room is unsatisfactory, takes his E100 back, and departs.

There was no profit or income. But now no one has any debt and the residents of the small town look optimistically towards their future.”

Stress And Anxiety - Are They Different ??

Worried about your CGPA? Stressed about submitting assignment in time? May be you are feeling anxious about CAMPUS PLACEMENT or being ditched by your GF/BF?

Everyone experience stress in their day-to-day lives, but more people nowadays suffer from a something more severe than that. ANXIETY DISORDER. The second most mental health problem.

The easiest way to distinguish b/w this is anxiety is brought on by actual events but that dissipates, whereas anxiety is more pervasive worry. It doesn’t dissipate but rather than keeps surging where it begins to change your behaviour.

Anxiety is good as long as it helps you recognising danger, and cope with it. But if you see danger lurking around you every corner, or worry over and over again about the same events, then you might be dealing with a something more substantial called ANXIETY DISORDER.

People with anxiety disorders often begin to avoid activities or circumstances that make them anxious. People may stop driving, enjoying life and all.

Types of ANXIETY DISORDER: Generalised Anxiety Disorder characterised by ongoing worry about everyday task, even when there’s no clear reason to worry about. Social Interaction Anxiety Disorder experience intense worrying over social interaction, and often feel judged by people or worrying that they will embarrass themselves. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder also a kinda anxiety disorder. Obsessive Disorder follow obsessive ritual that include cleaning, checking and recalling something, counting and endlessly having conversation in their mind.

Treatment is available for this type of disorder such as COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY has been seen to be as effective as meditation. Exercise will definitely help people ward off excess anxiety.

Two Years Down......Still A "Single" Status.....!!!

420 intake.380 boys and 40 gals. This is what every fresher’s joining NITR never anticipate. Unlike school where the ratio was 1:1, but 10:1 in NITR. Every freshman joins the first class in the institute not to be the next “EINSTEIN” but more like the “Curious Case Of BENJAMIN” to find out “What’s In Store” and “How Many”. This is where many lose their hope and like “Domino Effect” this 10:1 results in attendance shortage then grade back then a very low GPA and finally a increment in frustration level. Everyone try their level best to the backbone. Many make ducks and drakes of several chances, finally landing up in crisis. But in the end its the “Luck By Chance” game where the flimsy and tenuous guys get the ambrosia(well-favoured GF) and the brawny and hefty guys the trashy mess food(weird looking girls)[:(].Still there are others who find it hard to get some food. The gateway to the Promised Land (Ladies Hostel) being closed beyond 10 pm one needs a alternative to get connected with those sitting inside the barricades. This is where GTalk-A metier comes as a saviour. Rather than writing c codes in 1st year, most of us are busy searching for female ids in ORKUT. And I’m being one of them. But the problem with GTalk is that you can’t see the other person you are busy with, unlike yahoo or msn messenger.
“Falling in love is one of the most easiest thing in the world, I know because I have done it thousands of time”. This is the primary mantra of every UG. Same being with me I too like others, used to fall in love with every female id I had. Until one day................!!!!(here it goes how it happened).

Three semesters down. After dateless try, still I was having a “Single” status over ORKUT profile. Every day was passing by with a surge of increased frustration level. Until one day I realised it’s the “destiny calling”. It was winter of 2k9 that’s Jan. I finished my siesta, had my food, opened the lid of my laptop, clicked on GTalk and finally signed in. Eventually, a long list of online friends,. I scrolled down to find some young lady. Tough luck!!! A deserted look. [:(] Only guys with, droll linguistic expression, some with excerpts copied from others verbatim, and others with mumbo-jumbo to be more specific “chhattu” custom messages. GTalk in simple words is solely a bachelor’s land. You won’t ever find committed couples hovering inside GTalk. thats good for me. GTalk itself shortlist single chap and miss [:)]. Failed to found any girls I signed out of it to try a bit hard to soar-up my GPA.

Finally, two years cashed in one's chip in NIT Rourkela. As it is a national institute it has students ,professor from different culture & background, different state and different english proficiency. In the last two years I have come across many such incidents where their english proficiency stood challenged. But its for sure that you wont find such droll english expression alibi which has taken the centrestage in between the students to bug their friends or to share a smile while in stress. With passing time these have become hackneyed, still i will love to share those excerpts with you.
