Premium Rush: Review - I know its late!

Getting Started

A sloppy evening that had no intentions of a productive inspiration was passing by like any other and there had to be something that I could do to kill the damn thing. As would most of you suggest, and as i have developed a liking towards public opinion, I decided to watch one of the recently downloaded and not watched flick, "Premium Rush". Honestly speaking, I was expecting nothing but a desperate cycle rider, but honestly I got a lot more. A mixture of fun, frolic and a lot of running around, I here, present to you the review of Premium Rush, a movie about how to get hit multiple times in the traffic.

The Plot

Coming down to what the story is about, the plot is based on this graduate good looking hero who works for a delivery service. Now this isn't your run of the mill FED-EX services, these are premium level people who ride around on bicycles around the New York city in order to make things reach a place when they need to get there. Naturally, for the fun part of it, there are several shots of raging-with-fire cycle machinery and a race-like line in between and you have to give in to the fact that 98% of the movie is on the roads. It is about how the protagonist is asked to deliver this receipt which is apparently a part of an illegal money transfer chain and he gets into trouble (predictable) and then the rest of the plot is what you could easily judge.
For the predictability and the sheer over-usage of the 'transported on pedals' concept, I will give it a 2.5/5 for the plot-line.

The People

Equipped with a very good looking group of males, and a severely poor eye candy of females, the flick is not for those who want some visual relish. As far as how they act is concerned, it is very fair for a movie like this where expression is not playing a major part. The conversations are quick and to the point and the movie does not do crappy sequences of meticulous processes that some of the action lovers terribly hate and yet which is put into a majority of movies as it is a great cinematic tool. (for those of you who didn't get it, it is about how the camera constantly follows one person, no dialogues and meticulously shows his activities to give the viewer a perception of his state and status and mental conditions)
Not being very pesky about the whole thing, I would still give it a 3/5 for the people they used as everyone did a fair job.

The Effects

This is one of the smaller yet most award winning part. The effects that they have shown for the maps and the kind of animation that moves with each of them is something which is pure pleasure to watch at. The effects give you a gush of adrenalin and you are left in the state where you want to grab your bike and ride as you GPS takes you to 'Infinity and Beyond!'. The time animation is something that you'll like in particular and the color combinations and movements of the title and subtitle texts are also very cool. For the effects to look this smooth and good, and for avoiding their over-usage  and for some very beautiful on bike and stunt shots and an awe inspiring picturization of amazing driving, I will give it a 4/5 for the effects it has used.

The Overall

Now comes the final showdown. The movie that seems to be made in the count of a few weeks without much spending except for permissions to shoot on roads seems to be surprisingly gripping and exciting. You have this really wonderful bubbly feeling from within to go and ride your good old bike one you're done with watching it. Though there are a few glitches technically and apart from that a few concepts like that of the flash mob in the end that seem to be a little under-used, you will always find yourself entertained and in a constant thought process. It does have very predictable loose ends, but you have to keep in mind that the movie dosen't really you much time to think about what is going to happen next.
Gaining on the wonderful story and loosing upon predictability with an edge in effects, this movie gets a 6.7/10 overall rating. In qualitative words, worth, the disk space in the good stuff folder, especially for people who grew up loving movies like 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar'.

So if you got a good free Saturday evening, go ahead and watch it, feast your eyes.!
That's all for this one folks! See you next time!

Life of Pi: A Ranted Review

The much anticipated and much awaited was at last seen. The last day of exams and I was pretty sure that this was the right way to spice it up. 1645 hours at the PVR cinemas, the ambiance has never failed me and the richness of the place makes the experience way better. Coming down to the account of the movie, all was in high spirits, as long as it started. Beginning with Irfan Khan as the aged (somewhere in his 40s) Pi, the story starts with him cooking for an author who had come over to ask him about his story. Apparently there is this character called 'Mamaji' who had sent him there. Nevertheless, the next five minutes of the movie have been wonderfully thought about. The shots of a pool and beautiful raytracing and animation will leave you in awe (of course there is more to come). A very animated story if you'd ask me. It grips you, yes, and at the same time, it never leaves you. It tries putting you in awe, but if you'd ask me, you never really get there. The rest of the movie is about how Pi, our Mr Patel travels through the seas to get to his destiny after being shipwrecked, something that all of you already know about.

So this review is not about the story but rather about the movie and the type of cinema that it has brought to us.
I would first, before I officially begin, like to congratulate Ang Lee on this leap of courage for making this movie. It is a spectacle one shouldn't miss, especially in 3D and if possible, definately in IMAX. Moving forward, it is a beautiful concept. The emotions are alive, the expressions are rich, not in their sheer communication, but in their realism, their minimalism, and their exquisite carelessness of the fact that someone behind the fourth wall is trying to interpret them. That is one of the most beautiful things about the movie. In as few words as possible, it gives you stories, feelings and a plethora of confusions at the same time.

The story in isolation, with the screenplay and the script is splendid, I give it a 4/5 for that. Or maybe even a 4.5 if only they could stop stereotyping the naive thinking of Indian kids. Not all of us are that plain and we dont deserve to have a general impression of that. Nevertheless, it is a very pleasing sight to look at. 

Coming down to the sort of cinema that we are looking at. Splendid again, beautiful, mystical. There are, sometimes, so many things going on, on the screen that you fight to take a look at every part of the frame before the shot changes. Beautiful animation, wonderful viewports. Getting a little technical, the kind of materials that they have used, the tracking algorithms and the meticulous thoughts that have been put into thinking what will go best is the most amazing thing about the animation. It comes close to the transformers on those grounds. PS: I am not stupid enough to put it next to the Avatar like some of those paid blokes in news channels have done, this is still not the movie of the decade. 

The animation in isolation for its serenity, and integrity with the scene will steal your heart. It gets a 4.5/5 for the animation.

Now comes the final showdown, and I don't know how, but this movie drastically fails at an overall rating as far as my meter goes. Here's the point now, there is beautiful story, there is beautiful animation, but somewhere the story and the animation don't marry each other. The integrity and the reason for those beautiful and splendid scenes to be there just does not make sense. An island full of meal-cats now that might have some substance from visual sides, I was awestruck when I saw it on screen, leave alone the man who saw it himself, but then, what is it supposed to mean? The general and poor minded audience like myself fails to fathom the depth of that shot. Lighted up waters and things like that are certainly beautiful and unveiling as far as the mysteries of the pacific are concerned, but when you have already sensed the richness and meaning behind all the lines said, your mid just wont take in something that has no connection to the message at all.For the immense lack of simple connection between the beauty and the story and the negligence to end the story makes me keep wanting more, makes me keep saying it shouldn't end like this! Its the times when you've done so much and then you simply scream! No! No! you morons! stop doing this to a great movie! The tiger's departure makes no sense, Pi's restructuring of the story makes no sense at all in heaven or hell. I might be way too stupid to understand, bu then, I believe I am the general audience.Once again, congratulations to Ang Lee for trying to elevate the sense of cinema of the people of the world but I can only do so much to give it an overall 6/10 for the reasons I stated above.

But yes, please please do go and watch it, it is amazing cinema :)

The luxurious Journey

Here I am off to the journey to Petrotech 2012
Boring as it may sound, people are trying to make it interesting, deliberation to amusement is all around and need I say the aura of the all time popular Indian railways is never less charming. The magnificent fragrance and the clean and beautiful ambience always inspire us to write good things about it. And I on the other hand like the boring lot am typing away on this slim little pod that Mr Jobs has been very generous to design and execute. Yes this is a pointless post and it is supposed to be a mere reminder to me in the future that I once had a trip this exciting :D
May the verbosity of the sarcastic prevail

Understanding Time 1.1 The Present and its Problems

One more sleepless night and one more blog post, this time a little introspective, a bit off the track. Almost like all the others that I write, but this time, a little more interesting. This time, lets not keep it about me or the things around me. Lets not even keep it about things that matter to you or the rest of the world. Lets not drop opinions. Lets not pose ourselves and the forefathers of a future. Let us just be beings. Cause what philosophy from Mahabharata says is that in any dimension, there are three "Kaals" or times. The bhoot kaal or the past, the vartaman kaal or the present and the bhavishya kaal or the future. Togather, they are called the "Trikaal" or the three times. The lord says in the scripture that the one who has knowledge of all the three of them at the same time shall become a "Trikaal Gyaani" or the one who know of all three times, and hence shall become as powerful as Himself. In short, he gave humans a task to accomplish. To get to something. Now, we clearly aren't even close, and will probably never really get there. The reason why? Well, most of us fail upon:
#1 accepting the past
#2 Apprehending the present
#3 "Thinking" we know the future
Clearly, going this way, we aren't really going to get anywhere. The key is starting from the middle and moving sideways. That way we do get a little amount of control or at least the illusion of control over our life. So, start with the apprehension of the present. Start with the perfect understanding of the present. Now that again has a problem. Logically speaking, we cant live the present, just like we cant live the past or the future. We can only live their idea. Time is a tricky bitch, you see. If now is 2:30:58  then the iota of time before this time is past, an iota more is the future and the duration for which this will last is only how spread our resolution of time is. So in the time you take to understand the present, it has already turned into the past. And you cant even start with the future cause it wont really work you see. It hasn't all these years of exsistance really. So what do we do? How do we come to an understanding of the science behind the present? Clearly, if there is a solution, we can all agree to the fact that the solution is a bulk and quantum general explanation that can be hence applied to every moment so that when it comes, instead of spending time in processing it, we directly get down to execution.
Now, if there is a bulk explanation, it has to be applicable to every moment in time, whenever, wherever it happens and in whichever order it does. Now such an explanation and understanding would need a lot of thinking to do. First of all, we must find properties of time that are uniform all across, right from the Big Bang to the Big Crunch. I am not advocating any theory here. This is simply to express the extent. You might as well use your own reference. What property of time now, remains consistent all through?
Here we encounter hurdle number two for understanding the present. You cannot possibly gauge the parameters for a certain quantity and see what affects it by using it in the pretense of judgement in the first place. Our scope for understanding time, cannot be time. Just like you cannot ask a person questions about himself and judge his persona considering all of that to be perfectly true. You have to use an independent unbiased method. You have to maybe install cameras without their knowledge or some kinda crap to get away with.
So lets get this straight. I am asking you to understand time, from the very beginning of time, without taking time into consideration at all so that the observation is precise, or probably derive some kind of a correction we can apply on our observations so that they maybe converted to the real thing.
This here friends is the research part. The method of the experiment. Here is where the bounds of a theoretical philosopher lie. Here is where you need an experimental philosopher. Someone who can design an experiment around the theory to make it true. And I as a matter of fact am searching for that one person. Someone who can help me understand the present. A way to explain it, universally with perceptible variables and proper logic. Where observation is not a limitation and where the tools for explanation are beyond the reach of a common mind.
I am searching for that one method friends. Find it and you'll be 33% god. Find it and you'll probably become, the most  powerful being. The being who, by the power of truth, while living, can conquer the universe.

Performance Prediction Part 1.1 Understanding the Instantaneous GOR

Deep into the night and I have nothing really to look forward to. It is turning out to be sleepless. Boring you tube videos cannot help me and I on the other hand am supposed to study and so will jump on to show you guys this post. Something reservoir engineering, is what I thought i would keep it as. Dont mind the grammatical errors in here. This isnt exactly an ideal time when you expect attentiveness.
So, drive mechanisms are the words for the day!
And as and when the formation of a secondary gas cap comes into picture, the material balance equation starts to dawdle. This mainly happens because of the term 'm'. There isnt much the equation can do about it you see. It has been pre-decided as the gas in place to the oil in place ratio. put straight into the equation. One reason why the MBE is so simple for most volumetric reservoirs is that the term 'm', takes with itself any of the pain that might try poke its nose into your estimation. But when your reservoir starts to roll, there aint gonna be much concerning for the simplicity of calculations. There the constancy of 'm' is put to test and as the more perceptive of you might have judged by now, it sort of collapses.
So, what do we do?!
Do away with the 'm'?
Hell no.!
That'll be a nightmare! that little thing has saved us pains all through when the reservoir was static and wasn't churning out black gold. We cant just let it go cause some bloke in a shirt says it wont work !
So we resorted to what was closest to 'm' all the time. Just round the corner, we have the good old GOR (gas oil ratio for the more dumb among you) more aptly represented by 'R'. But this isn't the solution really
R only provides a means to meaning. Now, our approach has become more dynamic. Now, the formation of a secondary gas cap seems more appreciable. But we cant even move until we don't have something dynamic in hand.
So, point #1 : we need a dynamic gas oil ratio.
Hold on. The problem dosent really end there. Even after we have a dynamically adjusted GOR, we are still not sure about the now constantly and rapidly changing saturation within the reservoir. And without a proper knowledge of the saturation, even a dynamic GOR wont be of much use. All that we have at hand though is the cumulative oil and gas production.
No wait, actually, its just the cumulative oil production. Bah! save yourself the pain of a cumulative gas production, you already have that little magical kitty named the dynamic (instantaneous) GOR.
So now, just before we step into reservoir performance, we need one more small tiny weeny thing.
An equation that gives a relationship between the saturation and the cumulative oil production
and we'll be all set to go.
So, point #2 : an equation that relates the saturation to cumulative oil production.

Let's start by trying to understand the Instantaneous GOR. Clearly as the name goes, it'll be the ratio between the rate of the total gas being produced at any time (SCF/day) to the rate of total oil being produced at the same point of time (STB/day). The units arent really that big a deal, you just need to keep the consistency right. You might just use the formation factors from the lab data and write the above in terms of RB/day. Dosent really matter.
Coming down to the equation. We are well aware of the instantaneous solution GOR which we very proudly every time jot down as Rs. What will differentiate this from the instantaneous GOR though will be the free gas flow rate and the free oil flow rate once the reservoir fluid gets to the surface.

So we can have GOR = Rs + (Qg/Qo)

where GOR = 'instantaneous GOR' SCF/STB
          Rs is the gas solubility or the solution gas oil ratio or whatever you like to call it.
          Qg is the free gas flow rate. Mind it, thats a rate as we needed a dynamic value and so the units are SCF/day.
          Qo is the oil flow rate again naturally in STB/day.
So while the units to the inst. GOR essentially remain the same as before, we need to understand the fact very carefully that what it represents has completely changed.

Now, the total gas production rate can be given by

Qg = qg/bg + Qo*Rs

pretty simple to understand i suppose.
oh and qg is the gas production rate in RB/day.
The oil production rate with hence be
Qo = qo/Bo

So, our inst. GOR or simply R = [(qg/Bg) + QoRs]/qo/Bo

or R = qgBo/QoBg + Rs

You might as well go ahead and proclaim me to be stupid enough for using the extended form of Qo= qo/Bo when i was anyways going to write them togather in the final equation. But since Mr Ahmad did give a very reasonable explanation for that.
We can now comfortably use the Darcy's Law and write

qo = 2*pi*Ko*H*deltaP/ Vo*ln(Re/Rw)
The terms here have their usual meaning except for Vo which is supposed to look like the oil viscosity. Pardon me i am too lazy to import the symbols into the post as it is already 3:10 and i am starting to have a craving for icecream and pizza.
Nevermind, using a similar equation for the gas flow rate well, we can have the more comprehensive form of the inst. GOR as
R = KgVoBo/KoVgBg + Rs
 (the V again for viscosity, i skipped the complicated multiplication. its too tedious to type, and its just baby terms cancelling out each other. Something you can very well understand just by looking at it. )

but woah!
we did the stupid thing once again. For the reservoir that we are trying to get a solution to, the presence of a gas cap seriousy affects the value of H, the height term as the permeability becomes relative to the wetting phase and so there are huge changes in values with the change of the non wetting fluid viscosity.

So you can jolly well go ahead and add the term of Hg and Ho as two different terms, as if it makes the thing look any prettier.
So that ends the discussion to the solution of the first hurdle towards performance prediction of reservoirs.
I will get back to you soon enough with the second point of the equations to saturation.
PS: thats when i get it.
Till then have a nice time.!

United States: 236 Not Out

United States: 236 Not Out

Chidanand Rajghatta

Of course! The fourth of July and we were expecting an article on the independence of America. So here it is. Written by an Indian about the perception of an American, it is sort of hard to really rely upon in terms of judgments about the people of the states. But then of course, it did provide an outlook towards what a general population feels about their country. 236 years of independence and to them it still feels like yesterday. The author suggests that a majority of the population is bent upon thinking that their country is the best in the world and does not have any idea about the social evils that are poised to take the American society to a downfall. We may look at it as a lesson. The simple reason being that a lot of Indians today look at the states as a benchmark, many a times ignoring the social evils that prevail in that country. No doubt, they prevail here as well, but those are age old evils, as we have a history backed by a culture, theirs are rather urban cultural influences. The author does come about to say that some of the greatest inventions of the 21st century have been done in USA by their citizens, but there is also the vivid and known fact that their population is strongly multinational and they have a lot of diversity in terms of the people and their respective origins. This also gives them a very good advantage in terms of manpower skills. But we as a country on this day need to realize that me must go ahead and provide a more friendly environment for business establishment and expansion. We must harbor new thoughts and profess ethics that can promote development ground up. For even after the existence of all the social evils, the United States remain to be a global superpower. Not just rich, that would be an understatement, they are filthy rich! The defense budget of the United States of America remains to be more than the 26 other countries right behind it, 25 out of which are its allies. The country spends recklessly for its citizens and cities to make them more livable areas. The final learning that comes out of the article is that we need to set up a system that helps us grow the way they do, develop a market policy that allows stable commodity rates and helps people led a more consistent life in terms of living funds.

Misplaced Water Diplomacy-editorial review

July 3

Misplaced Water Diplomacy

Brahma Chellaney

This is one of the very worked around articles about a simple yet very stupid mistakes that the nation is committing. Call him the right person placed at the wrong place, but Manmohan Singh has made some really big flaws in terms of the Indian foreign policies of natural resource sharing. In that particular sector, water is one of the most basic and essential commodity obtained exclusively out of rivers and rain waters. As the country faces constant deficit of water, we have landed some really compromising water treaties with our unthankful neighbors. Starting with the Indus River Treaty, India gave away more than 80% of the total Indus river water to Pakistan soon after being declared a republic, keeping to itself less that 20% of the total share even though the nation caters to a major section of the upstream branch of the river. Apart form that we have also shared 50% of the waters with Bangladesh derived from the common rivers according to the Teesta River Treaty despite of the fact the India plays a sole role in the upstream development of all the shared rivers. This immense generosity towards her neighbors has only invited trouble for the country. The diplomacy has never been backed with proper purpose. Pakistan, even after enjoying immense freedom of region and resources, has sought to takeover more from the nation. Ever since the war of 1965 when India had hardly recovered rom the 1961 war with China. They still stand to occupy a majority of Kashmir and are demanding more. It has become very crucial from the country now that it stops the charity spree as its own citizens are dying under the weight of the something along the lines of a deliberate inflation. The nation has also been providing billions of dollars of aid to the neighbors despite of the fact that its own citizens crib every night with only with the sky as the shelter. This may be backed up by the argument that the center is trying to maintain strategic ties with the surrounding nations but that infact has not been fruitful directly in any manner. We do not have any solid grounds of support for that fact, and to add to that misery, we have our past experiences to prove the point that being friendly to these nations (say China and Pakistan ) has never been of very much benefit to us and has always opened gateways towards troubles. It is very important for the country now to for a very strict and strong foreign policy towards its neighbors and act accordingly. There is also a constant necessity to make the water laws (which already are but not strictly followed) a state matter and not a federal matter. This will allow stronger governance at the border and a multilateral solution to every problem that we face in terms of resource sharing with our neighbors on international grounds. To sum it all up, it is high time that we may act greedy and shellfish for our own good.

Shift Course Now- Editorial Review

July 2

Shift Course Now

Amidst much ado, we finally have one article that is pointing to wards a small yet significant change in the recent economic. With the resignation of Pranab Mukherjee, Manmohan Singh has taken up the post of the interim finance minister. The place that I felt he was always most suitable for. As we all know, he did form the policies for the globalization phase of India pot 1991 and that has always been his domain of expertise. Though the PM right now denies this, it is pretty clear that the ex-FM office and the current interim office did had a slightly different schools of thoughts. The current office is now looking forwards towards changing policies for FDI and making a lot of other changes, the absence of which has been repelling businesses and investors from putting in their money. A lot of changes have been put into place to bring the economy to stability. And possibly they might also be aiming at more flexible laws for FDI and some more changes in the oil and gas laws. Why that becomes critical for any government in the first place is explained by a simple example. India is the fourth largest consumer and fifth largest importer of oil and oil equivalent. Now the three companies that are ahead of us in consumption are USA, China and Japan in both the cases with Germany added in the latter. Now all of these are far better off than our own nation. The simple reason being the gas prices. The rates are so high in India compared to anywhere else in the developing and developed nations, that it becomes a big question of viability for the companies to set up their plants in India. So we are pretty sure that the interim office will surely be working upon the fuel prices as well and we will get a better picture soon. The current office is also probing into the coalition's sluggishness in implementing reforms and is asking them to act with greater agility. Not being an expert on economics myself, there isnt exactly much that I can share about this topic, but of course, we can rest assured that at least for a short time, a more able finanace minister has taken the spot.

The underage optimist-editorial review

July 1

The Underage Optimist

By Chetan Bhagat

Again a person who I particularly dislike, and so choose to write for my own dose of morning humor. This article in particular dealt with the favoritism towards Modi over Rahul Gandhi (the congress in general) that has recently taken over the popularity scene of politics. The author takes the basis of an internet post he made asking for responses between the two posed as the next CM to India and a phenomenally huge number voted towards the snow white of Gujarat. Yes, I use that simile simply because he does match the profile. Every morning Sonia Gandhi wakes up, goes to the mirror and says, "Mirror mirror on the wall, who d'most favorite of em'all?"
for the last 10 years, the mirror has always said," you my queen". Yes the mirror of public ignorance, the mirror of irresponsible systems, the mirror of a state destined to economic anarchy in an absolutely unchecked state. Just as they say, 'the world suffers a lot not because of the violence of the bad people, but more because of the silence of the good people' , the only reason why all these years, the mirror on Sonia's wall never raised a voice over her rule. But off late, people have started questioning, for however low, the people of a country do posses, at least a minimal, threshold of tolerance. Below that, the first criticize, if not answered they then question, and if not responded to they revolt. We have been cursing the government since ages, then we critically questioned it in the past decade and when that too didn’t avail any answers, we go down to revolt as is clear from the last few years. Congress on every occasion has turned it's back towards the nation and so the people are having the most natural reaction. Even if a majority are not exactly in support of Modi, the fallback from congress has only one spot of salvation, and that is this public figure. So adapting him was quite natural. In the wake of such circumstances it was pretty certain that a national youth figure and once very proudly posed Rahul Gandhi is now finding it very difficult to gain public support even on cyber media at large which consists of people who are relatively more educated and well informed than a lot of others. To sum it up, the author has tried to point out how constant ignorance of a party resulted in the loss of popularity of their only remaining trustworthy candidate and how this helped the BJP to rise from ashes in the central government forming scenario.

Mahi and State Indifference

June 30

Mahi and State Indifference

This article in true sense revokes the concept of contemporary media. It deals with how inactive the executive powers of this country are. Taking up the subject of the recent rescue of Mahi, a toddler stuck in a 700 ft. bore well, the author probes of how the district based executive authority are showing a lethargic attitude towards the protection of the people and enhancement of civic security. The acrticle further states that the district collector holds the right to protect the lives of the people of his region and has complete jurisdiction over collecting funds from the errand for the repairs or compensation purposes. This fact is not unheard by the collectors of today, but they simply choose to ignore it and move ahead. People in urban areas are more sniffy about their security and so such incidents do not very often happen in the urban areas, but still, we find numerous places and half-done municipal corporation jobs that can take a toll of anybody's life under a set of simplistic circumstances. This only tells us that not just the people who are ignorant, but those who take cautions as well are no longer safe. The simple reason being that the state executives simply refuse to take interest in this very basic safety operation for the people. Having talked about it, it becomes necessary now for the citizen himself to take a stand for his own rights in front of the government. It becomes necessary for us as 'the people' to make it clear to our executives that such ignorance which can cause even the slightest harm to the life of a citizen cannot be taken for granted.

Power Drive

June 29

Power Drive

This article mainly talks about fighting the electricity shortages of the country. It quotes about how there has been an 8.8% rise in the power demand and only an 8.2% rise in production. It is quite clear , even to a normal mind that the power supply, and infact a consistent and ample power supply is necessary to the growth of the nation. This fact needs to be drastically addressed in our country. It is in fact quite clear that any sort of lousy attitude of the government in implementing policies can result in the country falling back by decades compared to its competitors. We have already been declared as the first fallen angle out of the four BRIC countries. This only is a sign that we should be more vigilant about the corner stones that make a country strong. Even more vigilance is required on the utilization of these corner stones towards efficient sustainable development. Some of the examples are, electricity being the most important, followed by transport, communication in terms of voice as well as high speed data, stronger legislature, a more powerful and determined executive, and a way more active judiciary. Coming back to the point of power, the government is already facing losses by providing free power to a lot of farmers as the political obligations of some of the leaders which is again taking  toll on the revenue. The government is already on a loss of Rs. 45000 crore and looking at the current election scenario, It is poised for more. This all in all sums up to the fact that we need a more reasonable structure of subsidies if at all we do give them out. The power sector is certainly a very important part of the economy and must be addressed appropriately for a brighter future.

One Two Buckle Your Shoe - Book Review

One two buckle your shoe is that book that I took up this week to suffice the mental craving of a stale mind. A book written Agatha Christie, its one in a quite a few you would pick up, just as most of her books are. A very vivid and thoughtful crime and mystery writer, Agatha picks up really small things that form the environment of a crime scene and uses them to form a bigger plot that makes the book, many a times, un-put-donwable. It is most amusing of how she acquired these skills as she was born dyslexic. More about the author and her writing style can of course be found in most of catalogues of such kinds.

Coming down to the book, this is one with Hercule Poiriot, a French private detective residing in London, as its protagonist. The books starts with the murder of Poiriot's dentist the very day that he had been to the dentist for a regular check up. The story overall covers a lot of aspects of the crime. The order here being the most important. The book is dated back to 1940's and so forensic science was naturally not that well developed. Putting constraints of time upon its character's death AC deals around the plot with her protagonist moving around whole of London first trying to judge the exact time of the death by interviewing various patients who had an appointment that day. While this interplay is in course, there is a second murder of a foreigner who had been to the dentist that very morning. The reason of death being the overdose of a particular drug used to make the nerves around a particular region of the mouth numb. Following this, one of the prime witnesses of the murder goes missing right after the first chapter. Three murders and not a clue who did them all. One woman missing and the stage was set for Poiriot to profess his intelligence.

The books looks very deeply into the environment that Poiriot experiences every time he enters a new region or in proximity of a witness. This elaborate description gives AC a lot of room to explore possibilities of how the murder could've been committed. There is yet another murder down the line which of course I shall not disclose, just in order to keep you waiting.

The crux of the book lies in the way AC has dealt with the plot and placement of each and every character and the way that she has dealt with the ideology and work ethics of her protagonist. It gives us a far more realistic personality and the sense of being right over his shoulder as all the things happen. The book is filled with numerous different twists and turns each time Poiriot hits a new incident. It is commendable how AC manages to put so many aspects into the book and yet it all finally fits in by the climax.

A classical climax as expected, Poiriot directly confronts the murderer and explains how he came to conclude so. A very typical and every so liked format of a mystery. Its requires the reader to be at par with the author at all times. There are no places where you may skip an event. It all falls in line by the end of the story and everything that at first seems to be random compilation of events forms a line up for the almost perfect crime.

Though one thing that goes against the book is the fact the other than Poiriot himself, none of the character are so vivid that you may be able to imagine them as a very strong personality. Something that quite  few other authors pay great deal of attention to. Human emotions and behavior do not play a very significant role. Only to a certain extent. I would say the hasn’t been so very well simulated as it could have been. There are certain wild card characters that appear seldom in the book but have been cast with fine details. Mr Barnes of that matter has been put up interestingly.

The book can do far better of a general scale. Nevertheless, it certainly is a must read for every novice reader that wants a bit of thrill and some brain working in a relatively simplistic manner. The novel being British has a touch of typical British vocabulary that an Indian may find a tad more over the surface in the beginning, but a little make do does help making the process far more interesting.

There is as such no particular moral that one can derive out of the book as the most important piece of a crime story, the motive, has only been cleared in the ends and puts to question the fact of what is more important? The economic well being of a country or the lives of humans.

Not spilling any more beans, I end this review here by simply mentioning that if you're home for long and if time goes by hard, picking this one up will surely help you great deal. I shall be looking forward to reading more of her works.

Just a morning post

And once again, i start mobile blogging
More like tweeting, only more subjective
Haha
Anyways, so, this seems to be a really awesome day to do some good work, finish that slimy book report hanging off my head, some 500 questions from topics like what not and if course, the picture of this day is none with a relaxed posture, rather you may expect things to be perplexed
Nevertheless we have a lot to look forward to and so keep track
Do good things and have an awesome day ahead..!!!
Buenos dias..:)

Killer Instincts- A complete Waste of Space

June 28

Killer Instincts

Bachi Karkaria

This particular article was once again the death of classical print media and a complete hoax in terms of a good read. The writer, being a lady, has her own go about modernizing her writing style and has in that very glory, completely and irrevocably yet miraculously managed to pick up an already stupid topic and make it all the more idiotic.

Coming to what this is supposed to be, the article was about the raving competition between Delhi and Mumbai, two of the major news making cities of the nation. While people like you and me are drowning in the sea of a terribly disorganized economy, as the corruption in the state rises, as the politicians play cards to irreversibly jeopardize our future, this lady chooses to talk about how one city rages against the other in terms of how "cool" people are. Her vocabulary has been blessed by koalemos himself as she foolishly tries to incorporate multilingual terms into the passage and completely misses out on making a point, at least to me.

As much as this article was a waste of newspaper space, it also did tell us how much we need to improve the way we receive information about the country and the world. We need to improve the information channels in such a way that we can achieve the least manipulated first hand information. A lesser corrupt media would of course be a wonderful place to start with, accompanied by a more frequently updated and less adulterated news channel.

Not pondering more on this already over-discussed topic, I terminate it here, to your discretion. Read the article, and embrace a challenge. And come on, you after all bared with twilight, this is a piece of cake.

A New Era Blasts Off

June 27

A New Era Blasts Off

Saswato Das

A new type of editorial I would say and certainly something that points towards a concept that has till date been thought of to be rather unrealistic.

We are talking about the privatization of some of the biggest enterprises of a country. Here in focus was space travel. The first dream of a lot of toddlers and the biggest to many who grow up to be in it. The recently launched Dragon-X unmanned spacecraft by a company called Space Explorations Technologies (Space-X) was the center of discussion in this editorial. Dragon-X recorded itself in history by becoming the first privately developed spacecraft to make a successful space expedition and return in full health. It certainly did markup to be the "blast off of a new era". And that metaphor has come by to be looked upon by a lot of other industries. Here, this particular event does not simply point towards the privatization of space travel, but it is also points out the great possibility that the current services that a government is providing to its people can be done better by private organizations and this therefore leaves more room for the government to provide us with the services that matter more.

The postal service is one big example. Private organizations can provide a huge leap in the postal industry with very viable and functional implications and can possible, according to my logic, do better than the current government operated post. To add to this, such industries can be monitored by the government in order to prevent and misuse of power by the companies. Apart from post there are several other industries that private companies can play a vital role in.

This not only provides better functionality for the people, and less burden on the government but this also helps in the upbringing of a nation that has state of the art technology available to the lowest section of the society.

We can get better cities, better postal services, better logistics, more integrated and accessible telecomm networks (part of which are already there but we lag to a great extent compared to the international market) and many more innovative ideas that may crop up in the process.

It therefore goes without saying that privatization of industries can definitely lead to a better governance of the people make the country a much more resourceful place.

Although it has to be considered, simultaneously with these applications, that the increase in the cost of day to day facilities does not crumble the common man. This of course in the first place requires a very stable economy which has a considerable overprice tolerance. As such, the current overprice tolerance of this economy is negligible, which makes us very vulnerable to a downfall, and which in fact is the case right now.

To sum it up, privatization is a very good idea to be implemented but we first need to strengthen the economy, give the rupee some back, give our citizens more room to accept a change.

Split Wide Open

June 26

Split wide open

Neeraj Chowdhary

This article mainly dealt with the complicated political situation that arouse lately owing to the interplay of various small and big decisions taken by some of the most prominent leaders of the nation. The main focus was on two things, first were the presidential elections that have pitted Pranab Mukherjee and Sangama against each other and second was the tentative stand of CM Narendra Modi as the PM candidate for the upcoming lok sabha elections. Both of these topics were dealt in detail and described as to what all led to the present scenario.

One of the prime focus was on the poor integrity of the NDA and how vulnerable they are to the interests of the coalition parties. That in fact has remained to be the major concern with every type of coalition government India has ever had right from the time of establishment of the republic and it is one of the major concerns of today as to how each and every party that forms a coalition is only interested in fulfilling its own agenda. And the complication doesn't end here. Within the party itself, people, rather leaders, perceive the party policies in their own manner and discretion. This further leads to a variation in the demands of people within the party itself and this as we all know leads to cracks within a single party, a further division of manpower, further division of opinion and a further division of the credibility of that alliance.

This has been a major problems with most of the parties within the country which has also, to a great extent, hampered the performance and pace of performance of these parties.

All in all, under such circumstances, the more legible candidates fail to express their presence on the national podium and a more devouring lot of power playing politicians takes the stand of ripping the country off its integrity.

 To sum up with, there is certainly a lot more room for (improvement would be the wrong word) reconstruction and for an integration of various different arenas and expressions such that we can make a government who is there for the people in distress, a government that is made by the people that form one of the world's biggest democracy, and a government that is made of the people that represent what the nation is poised for.

How to save this world (editorial review)

June 25

How to save this world

This particular article did catch my eye as our nation is currently dealing with the what to do and what not to do of Rio+20. This article did majorly focus upon how it is simply not possible for our nation to imply concepts of green economy to the citizens as our per capita income is not enough to fuel the subsidy cut-down that such an implication may bring.

Overall it is something very simple to understand. The concept o green economy or something vaguely similar to it called the carbon credit system dealt with the problem of pollution in an innovative manner. It was based on a very simple principle. Every commodity, just before it reaches the consumption process, however eco friendly it is, does involve a certain amount of pollution or contribution to the pollution in terms of logistics and manufacturing or marketing or any such operations which directly or indirectly involved the usage of polluting agents.

 These process would then be graded as to how much impact they cause upon the environment, and henceforth their equivalent carbon footprint would be calculated which would assign a dollar equivalent carbon credit to the company performing (gaining profit out of) these operations and an extra tax would be implied upon these products according to their environmental impact. This would therefore create a greater demand of more ecofriendly products and processes and therefore lead to better innovation.

Although this sounds to be very self-working at first sight, we need to understand that not all the nations can take an attempt at doing such a thing. This process is initially highly expensive and as the local industries develop alternatives, it gradually becomes more and more demanding in terms of the level of engineering involved in the formation of these products, both of which are very hard for the time being for India to follow.

The prime minister being good at finances certainly took a stand at this in the international conference and brought up the point that the rich nations should first begin with the process and act as a model for the developing nations. Also, certain ops related problems in the process can only be gauged once it is put into action and these richer nations do have room for experimentation which makes it more viable for them to indulge into such forms of economy.

This is, according to me the most ideal solution to be offered as the vulnerability of an already weak economy to downfall in case such an economic policy is implied, becomes too much of a risk to be put up with in the first place.

One good thing most certainly is that the nation is now taking a stand on international grounds as to what it should and should not be doing. Similar dilemmas do crop up also with the Indian foreign policy and  its relations with Iran and Iraq and it is needless to say that even though this is not at all a situation related environment, its impact on national economy and security is magnanimous and it becomes very crucial for us to take a firm stand on what to do and what not to do.

International tensions between middle-eastern countries have always been a bone of contention in their trade with other countries in terms of defense mechanisms as well and crude oil and it stands to be most important that we do not let our assets turn into liabilities by virute of a third party conflict. This also applies to the Rio+20. We must make it clear to the more influential powers at the UN that the country is not only in a state of economic distress but is also currently counting millions of chickens, desperately trying to make them hatch. Such times in a country's growth do seldom come upon where she has a huge pile of opportunities to bank upon and simultaneously is standing at the brink of the next big international conflict. And at such times, a country must truly learn to balance its ambitions with it's conscience, be there for people, make policies for the long run and stand for the good, stand firm and stand with definite decisions above a minimal threshold of diplomacy.

Wh do we expect so much from Aamir (editorial review)

June 24

Why do we expect so much from Aamir

Politically Incorrect

Shobha De

I basically picked up this editorial for today mainly for two reasons.

1. I do not like Aamir that much

2. I am not fond of shobha de as much as well.

So that’s that. Not that I am a particular hater on his Sunday morning spree or criticizing and scrutinizing things around, but of course, I read it for I wanted to change to my opinion on both of them in general.

Coming down to the editorial review, it was interesting. Shobha De's contemporary style of writing does take you by pace over the sentences but then again, her approach being way to objective does not attract people who have a very more classical preference of the language. The article mainly talks about how Satyamev Jayte is not really the best show around but only for the name of Aamir has it gone to heights no other reality show of India ever reached. This is a fact that I absolutely agree to and as well to the fact that the show is another commercialization of the sobs of this country. They bring up a few people who recovered from a loss that matters to the money makers, they make the country cry their brains out for an hour and a half and then move back to routine with nothing but sorrow in the heart.

The article does also talk about how keeping Aamir as the host and having the Sunday morning time, the show has captured a huge audience as well as a time slot where they have virtually no other competitor.

Hence the article is overall a fine read for a Sunday morning, if a game of chess is very good for you.

Freedom- the real one

So here I am after a long interval from blogging. Mainly as you may understand from my last post, exams got me there
So well, as such, there is not much to be talked about in this phase, but moreover to be worked upon, and i somehow feel, that everyday, every moment, every person and everything gives so much to learn that blogging about everything is simply not possible.
well, one good thing that i got to know is that never jailbreak until you know how to prank around with linux.
haha
anyways, coming back to what i usually do, it is but most vigilantly important for me to stay on the go most of the time in and out of this place. Life has started expecting out of me. My surroundings have started expecting out of me and above all, my conscious appeals to live upto that expectation. But then of course, the prodigal fear arrives, the fear of under performance, the ghost of Christmas past, and you begin to think if it is worth dividing time of pleasure to put more into the toil of the future. For it is a very well understood fact that you work hard today, you get a goof fruit tomorrow, which in most cases is a promotion to a level with greater control over your surroundings, the next thing you know is that the power along with itself brought responsibilities, to fulfill which you will have to work even harder, again cutting down upon the pleasure time.
It is vicious circle, its tons of hope hanging on a sewing thread. Before long, you will realize that all that you worked for is no longer accessible, the heights that you predefined as that of success are not but only the mundane everyday, and that is when you start to decline, or try finding a way out of it. In most of the modern cases what comes by such people is very complicated. By the time they realize the need to shift, their mentality has took already taken a turn for the worse and they somehow kill the feeling in a corner of their heart. But what this vicious system cannot drive out of man is the will to be set free, the will to fly, the will to prosper and be wealthy in terms of currencies defined by one's own imagination. And so, man will always stride towards freedom, both physical and intellectual.
Now, the first out of the two mentioned above can be very easily obtained now a days, what is relatively a little hard is the latter which hence has, as we all know, budded many frauds of the modern world. So it conclusively becomes our duty to keep an eye out to avoid misguided strides into freedom.
I am sort of having a writers block right now, so I am gonna leave you guys to yourself for the rest of the day, will see you soon with something new and tangy..;)

Just a Phase We're Going Through..;)

There is something about the exam times that is very very difficult to comprehend with. It is a kind of phase where you get into contact with a completely different set of people, or , probably loose all contact from the rest of the society and tread into a whole new arena of actions. The way you look at things changes, the way you look at activities and the people changes, the way you blog changes..ha..! but above all that, it changes the dynamics of being, we start seeing things more realistically. we start to look at things with a wider result oriented perspective, and work for the same. Our equations for priorities change and admist all the dynamism, lies a point where the brain cannot keep up with the required change, A point where you start feeling that all this is useless, worthless and of minimal significance to you real purpose. That is when you start to give up, that is when you start deviating or try to find reasons not to do what you're supposed to. This is exactly the phase me and a lot of my classmates currently might be going through. and you know what?..it's kinda fun..;)

The Algorithm of Relevance

Three in the morning and I am sitting here writing a blog
For what?
You might as well ask that question in the most ironic manner for if you are reading this, you have most certainly taken interest in some of the most boring topics of discussions a person can be upon. And i do commend your capability to do so for I myself don't bother to take a second look at what i post. That again clearly decides why i still haven't got a publisher, but then I am not that accurate at things, you see. I do not prefer to write upon a topic very objectively, i rather have a more liberal or broad sense of understanding that the rest of the world might cease to understand beyond a certain point of time and intelligence, their intelligence, beyond which the cannot understand what I am trying to say and so often pose me as, we what we say in the most mundane and make do terms "intelligent" , "smart" , "geeky" and words or phrases of a similar understanding.
But then, what use is it if the people of today have gone so absurd that they absolutely do not wish to proceed thinking about a topic if any discussion that branches out of it seems to deviate it even a bit. Why is it that we stop to understand, or rather prevent ourselves from understanding that, any idea, that branches out of another random idea is always linked to its precursory and hence will always have a significance. Minor in quite a few cases but then, we, on a broader scale, given the time and space we have, should not discard certain ideas calling them irrelevant or unrelated.
That is the first step towards innovation after all, isn't it .?
We all have the potential to create something great and amazing and of significant importance to the grand scheme, then why would we pit ourselves into a situation where we are handicapped by our own logic?
Now there is very little of what you might call a solution here.
You most certainly cant go running around pondering upon each little fragment of imagination trying to get something out of it.
Neither can you put a bar here to what is relevant and what is not and follow it everywhere. For that bar is most probable to cause over-or-under-estimation of a situation. The precise line of relevant and irrelevant been drawn is very rare.
And then, neither do we have an algorithm to follow that can allocate a bar to every situation.
All that we do is follow our instinct fused and disguised as logic.
So only a few people have their "logic" correct.
You see, we oft see people telling each other, your "logic" is wrong
or
something is 'wrong' with your "logic"
Now watch closely, if at all there is logic anywhere in the first place, it is nature's universal rule, the result can never go wrong.
There cannot be, 'by definition' , a situation of 'wrong logic'
So we are rather following our instincts and not the logic
The search of true logic is, and will most certainly remain a quest for quite some time to the rest of the human race.
And so will the decision for what is relevant and what is not
This is Parth Trivedi signning off
See you guys soon..:)

Act n Cut

Just finished my part of work at the Act and Cut event of VGA @ Flare 2012
Its all now to the rest of the guys in the post production team
the length is way too short to include an animation
So i am post production free for this time
all the pressure now on the sound and video editing team
though
there is a lot to be done for the kinetic typography
lets see what it comes out to be
the dead-line is approaching closer and still the work remains, and along with that, i must compliment, so does the enthusiasm
And there certainly were a few more life lessons I learnt today
Pretty common, pretty mundane,yet, of immense importance to ourselves
The top of the list being
Learn to trust the people you work with
And Second
Learn to identify those you must not trust while you're working
These most certainly do help us a lot in team work
So with that
I return to the hour of need
The commencement of the last hour is near
The Heat Rises..;)

Presumption

presumptions
they can kill sometimes you know
sometimes, can be harmful
harmful enough to grow an un-erasable disrespect about you in someone else's head and afterall it has been the presumptions that have slaughtered men over the centuries and we do have proof enough for that as well. I shall not take your precious time to reconsider the possibilities of my statements but would rather leave it to you to ponder upon for it is one of the biggest mistakes we make in our lives.
we fail to see so much only because we presume, we state our minds and fixate at a particular thought for a given object and do not let ourselves explore it's theory of exsistance, and so we miss out upon some of the most beautiful things that this world has to offer. We are after all so self contained for our security that we seldom do give our selves away to an explanation and rarely do we trust an entity to do the talking. This is not to say we are always wrong, but then, our senses you see, they are like a bottle neck of perception, a blockage or traffic reducer to external information. They will only take in as much as the brain can process. The rest given to them will be damped as mechanical noise and be ignored along the path of the complex nuero-science that gives us an interpretation of our environment.
so thats where we are missing out you see.
Now there is something more that we need to know over here. The human body and its conscious and the rest of the senses work together in an iterative manner to yield the possible consequences of a situation. Now being iterative is to first make a judgement, then detect the error on that judgement and then try incorporating that error into the previous solution in order to get a new, more accurate solution and this process is continued until we reach a stage where the error in our perception is so small that it may be neglected without any probable major problem.
So well, coming back to the previous discussion, the body and the senses have an iterative method for studying the environment, and known as a universal fact, any iterative situation requires a reference level to carry out the error calculations.
This in most of our cases turns out to be the false reference. And this leads to several wrong iterations combined with others as of course our environment is never contained by a single variable. And then consequently, the error is so large that even if we know about it's exsistance, there is very little we can actually do to correct the error within the scope of senses that we have.
And hence we stay in perennial confusion and our only solace is a safe presumption. So our body involuntarily makes that presumption and we fail to see what it was actually meant to be.
Now, the only way we can quit this circle of interpretation is by allowing the things around us to talk for themselves. This can only be achieved if we can isolate our perception from the senses that govern it, and let the mind ponder on its own, bound only by the aesthetic presentation of the object under consideration, or for that matter even a whole environment.
And this can only be achieved if we learn to set ourselves free, if we trust in the things around us, and if we dare to take the risk of letting our surroundings talk to us, if we leave open the path...:)

Shackles of Intellectual Slavery

tomorrow, the last mid semester examination for the fourth semester
and i have decided
i am no longer going to live this life of a harlot when you sell your creativity for the sake of the goodwill of a bunch of newts and under-grown cabbages. There is more to my own self than petty pep talk in technical terms
there is certainly more to my intelligence and the expanse of my capabilities, and that is what we oft fail to understand and that is exactly what is most vulnerable to happen when we work in the shadows of a third party's concept of analysis
That is where the Indian problem of situations lies
That is why we do not have an effective graduation structure
We have never ever made our students capable enough to determine their own curriculum, to decide for their own what is good for them. Of course with some really good guidance, but on their own terms
Our definitions are crude, inflexible and hopelessly fragile
So we can start by rectifying it today
think about it
think about what gives you pleasure
and not in terms of pleasure alone
but in terms of it's possibilities as a life supporting profession
what would you like to do to make this world a better place for your children?
or let us not coat it in the false veneer of good or bad, let us just call it change
what change would you want this world to have that you can more than provide as the best and that which can give you satisfaction
only then will we be in true sense educated
only then we shall find the knowledge that we lost in search of sheer information
and only then shall we, find the wisdom we lost in search of the ungrateful knowledge
adios
will catch up soon :)

The Admiration of Frustration

And there you are, sitting between the reality of calamity and the virtualization of hope and what you see beyond the frame of present time is not really that convincing. Not convincing in terms of uncertainty and the haziness of possibilities.
There are two types of situations, number one where you know the result is negative for certain, or the odds for good hope are few, the other is where the hope of a positive outcome are in abundance but there are times where the possibilities of either a positive or negative outcome are absolutely unknown and then at times as those the brain is drenched in frustration. The outcome might not be of as high importance, it might be something that you can deal with easily even if it turns out for the worse but still the same frustration will grip you, no less in magnitude, maybe easier to sustain in cases of minor uncertainties but when you come to think of it, it will be as much irritating and shall cause equal mental undulation in all cases. And I do face a situation of that sort, the situation here or the predictive measures here; do not match with the estimations and situational analysis done earlier and so, the calamity that is to come becomes all the more intense and somehow typing seems to be the only way to pour it out. I know the outcome has to be favorable, but then the delay in the result is something that psychologically magnifies possibilities of the worse.
All that I can do is wait. Wait for what has already been decided and outcome shall come soon. Soon enough, and well, as the past has proved, I move out with a bottle of felix felices every morning, so I am somehow counting on my luck and the logical approach to the problem and I suppose it will be fine, it will be okay and nothing is going to be against me at the end of the day. Its only a matter of waiting for a few days and it will all be as clear as the Kohinoor.

Actions and Reactions

so here i am
once again
wounded as you may call me
by the lack of my own arrogant audacity
and yes
there it was right in front of me
a simple calculation of the interior angles of a quadrilateral
yet i fail
yet i am incapable of
and i do know the answer
and well i partly o consider myself to be worth of blaming my professor
but then, if i cant detect the mistake,
i have no right to say that it exists
but then, by the common triangulation of emotions, we reach to a common notion that nothing is more sour than split milk, so when you see it on the floor, consider it to be gone and forget it
dont try to lick it off the surface just because you are trying on some cost cutting decisions
and there
we have a life lesson
on how you better cry over split milk than to lick it off the floor in desperation of something better
yes, learn and accept the things that have gone out of your hands and try looking forward towards better opportunities
but then, always rememeber to cry over things that did not happen, at least they will keep reminding you of things that you should not be doing, atleast under their veneer of utter sorrow do you find the wood of determination
and yes
dont forget to laugh at it all
for after all, your past is the last person that can shoot you in the head, or o you any harm, its the future that can certainly piss you off
so put your priorities straight
and i will see you in a while
adios mi amigos
have a wonder ful holi
yes
the epitome of Hindu hipocracy
i will elaborate that in the next post
for now i have to run and bow down to the fire that is lit up for nobody's good
cya..:)

Exams..!!!

exam Chronicles once again..!!.:D
yes i am now officially on the path towards becoming a so-called petroleum engineer and yet
here we are...giving the same old mundane exams
and you know why they usually fail in their purpose?
why, even after so many changes, people curse exams for not being able to pull out the best from people
well, there is a two word answer that is usually branded upon every object that stops performing its action after some given warranty time
yes..those golden words are "CHINA MADE'
it was the Chinese who first invented the form of written exams on a large scale
so well
now you know whom to shoot if you are ever pardoned a murder
have a nice day people..!
