008 – its over!

Today is the last day of this calendar yr.. Though tere is lot hype created around this new yr stuff.. I exactly dono the impact it has in everyone’s life except for the change in the yr in their calendars.. and ofcourse ppl get older But calendars are gud actually.. they come in different colors, sizes, shapes and ofcourse with astrology predictions.. and wat not… even explanation abt tat particular day.. hmm.. when I jus sit around here lazing and thinking about the new yr and great/bad stuff happened in the last yr.. thats quiet a lot.. to say..

-> I wanted to quit my job and since I didn’t get any job I changed my team, the least tat can be done! (I also want my manager to quit, but I don think he gives a try to that thought! )

-> I learned a lot abt *people* as we do always in all part of our life, in a harder way

-> I donated a lot of money this year without anyone’s knowledge than I ever thought..

-> I got my first credit card this yr.. finally one bank trusted me, while many rejected my application

-> I changed my mobile since I lost mine 3 yr old one in my friend’s wedding and this new one costed 6k, which many of my colleagues think its old fashioned.

-> I stopped visiting deals2buy.com/ebay.com for time pass, which always ended up asking ppl at home for some junk digital stuff, which ofcourse costs a fortune according to them.

-> hey, Chandrayaan was launched on my birthday

-> I stopped working for 15 hrs a day and started sleeping 15 hrs a day

-> I understood how wrigley’s double mint becomes sticky when I keep it under my shelf for 6 months

-> I figured out I won’t die if there is no internet!

-> My room is air-conditioned finally!

-> I concluded that I wont be able to read any book completely – after wasting lot of money in buying and stacking them

-> I understood at some point that money isn’t making me happy anymore!

This list goes on and I think there are yet more *understood* *figure-out* *concluded* *learned* needs to happen this yr too.. life need to move on whatever it is and I think it does teaches everyone its lesson dues at the proper instant! Only way is to have our senses open to Learn!

Why I am not interested n reading (books)?

I have seen people really skeptical about my idea of not reading anything.. anything means, any book which has more than 20-30 pages.. so tat includes news papers and throw away journals.. but I have already heard frm people .. that reading is gud, nice, thrilling.. etc.. but I am very incompetent in that factor. I couldn’t read a complete book, be it for academics or be it any story book kind of stuff.. wasn’t really gud at tat.. while in college days.. all the gals around me lurk around having some colored book in their hands.. it looked so weird at least to me .. then I started watching movies, all the gals, who come in the movie was associated with some reading material..

If I checked out some tamil movie, the lead lady will be having some book n her hand reading all time (am not talking abt sonia agarwal n 7g.. having Java book or Kanika in 5*) things change.. but the books and gals never changed in any scenario.. when I talk with 4 gals.. often looks like they start talking about the books that they read.. may be they are scholastic and intelligent.. but I still don’t understand why its so interesting than a movie.. watching a movie/documentary equally thrills me. I even tried to load my desk with books and force read them, but I felt really bored, i jus skipped many chapters inbetween and went to the last one (did it when my sis got me a Hitler bio.. i couldn’t get the head or tail in that.. till now since its half read n all chapters!)

Ah hmmm… I understand now.. how reading feels.. jus that I feel more happy in writing than reading.. I don hav a video blog and I have a written blog.. and that’s really interesting that I don’t have an image in this post, while I brag abt movies and images. Life is kind of weird I think writing gives me equal pleasure in what others get in reading.. as always Reading still remains a complete mystery, atleast to me ~!@#

Dada Quits!

Its kind of surprise to the entire media and cricket fans.. esp fans like me and arch
But it has to come one day and that day is coming sooner.

I lost track of cricketing series few months back, when IPL was over. Felt it to be boring sometimes.. may be that becas the team I support, locals or nationals kept loosing again and again..

Back to Sourav.. The one match I couldn’t forget or rather made me his fan was the Match against Pakistan in Bangladesh tri series. I don have the statistics (date/time) of the match. India had a 300+ target and sourav hit a massive 124 to save us frm perishing That was really a nice match, everyone including then 80+ yr old paati watching it with complete focus, so that we don even change the channel for ads And as everyone does it was through wonderful matches he took the team towards the world cup last time… sry last before !

I don’t think he will become a coach or a commentator , easy careers for the retired cricketers, not becas he s a prince of kolkatta.. but jus that it wont be his ground to show the talent. I can never imagine him to stand in the center of the stadium interviewing other cricketers like Ravi Shastri or Srikanth and asking questions which were asked to him like “how did u feel after scoring an 100?” …

Though he was always around controversies, finally did show his potential in the pitch and made his point there than anywhere else!

Hope to read his autobiography if at all he takes up writing as his career..

History , Am Passionate abt it!

I have always wondered how history helps.. anyway its ‘over and out’ but I was dumb.. history is better than any high profile novel ever existed.. its actually the truth in most of the cases, that makes it more interesting..

I am not gud at history in school days which involved jus remembering years and eras of some unknown kings or empires.. But lately .. much engrossed to Russian/European dictators.. and tried to read everything about them.. Knowing how things “were” was/is always exciting to me in the first place. Be it Karl Marx or Hitler, everyone impressed me by being the way they are, no wonder I watch history channel lot more than SS music!

So, wats new? Now the latest addiction looks like Einstein’s Relativity.. trying to relate it to myself and the world around me, will that work? or did he find something which is not useful (oops he s a nobel prizeee!) atleast for non metric person like me! So was checking out what he got to say about relativity, found many books in all ranges both pages and price too.. ! Poor me, can just read the pdfs I get online.. one book looks gud, costs 800 bucks though.. will see if the pdfs are real interesting, I might get the original one too, looks like its better than the Davinci code

Was wondering why the Physics teachers never tell students about things like this, which brings interest in the subject not merely some planck’s constant problems & solutions which fetches marks in High school!
