Lets see your chance.........

"There is no escape from this! Its not about what I want.....Its about whats FAIR!! There are no decent people in this indecent world. The only justice in an unfair world is a chance - unbiased, unprejudiced......fair. There cannot be morality in this cruel world! He has got the same chance as she had.....50-50."
Fair enough. The only justice one can expect is a chance to make things come true. It really doesn't matter how much it hurts you or makes you happy, its not about profit or loss,its not about how much correct or incorrect it is - its about WHATS FAIR!!!
Unfortunately some don't get the hang of it. People always try to make their own conceptions about a situation,then interpret it their own way,thinking it will improve. But in return they forget whats fair, what was required and make things worse. Everything has a reason, every act has a motive and every action a consequence. But the question that really matters is whether they were correct or not. Look at this man's face. How we know him?
Harvey Dent turned two face.....mad,insane, one who has lost all his senses, shooting people at random, deciding their fate on toss of a coin......
But I say why not? When you lose the only thing you wanted so badly, does it really matter what else you do? Fair enough. I may not have any right to interfere in others lives. But people were affected by my actions and if that was so then they can't really argue I don't have any right to play with them. Someone even argued what if the whole world started behaving like that? Taking decisions on fate of a coin, leaving it on chance? Well I say they don't for now, so its none of my business. Its their problem they don't believe in fair probabilities. They just want to fit a proper reason for everything, one that hides their irresponsibility, their duties to be performed, their mistakes. Everybody just sees the rampage Dent has went on, nobody sees his scars, his burns. Nobody sees the injustice done to him. What they will do is just show remorse over what has happened, try to show sympathy. But the fact in first place is they still don't do whats FAIR! Perhaps too cowardly of people. First run away from your duties and then say sorry. A sorry? It is everybody's duty to do whats fair. Not following it is a mistake in itself....and then sorry. This sorry doesn't bring back anything lost nor does it do any good to the person except make him feel good. One will argue it is still madness to do something out of grief/anger just because you were done injustice with. But I say its really not about madness - Its about doing the same thing you owe somebody so that you can say 'sorry' and level things up. Forgiving is a God-given gift- none the less even our Gods have shown no mercy to demons troubling people. Perhaps they could have forgiven them, given them a chance to improve. There is nothing unfair in this world! If there is badness in this world, it is for a purpose and if somebody is using it, it isn't unfair.

On the other hand, I say agreed. Coin is unbiased, unprejudiced........fair. But what really decides what will toss it, the force deciding its revolutions its swing? That cannot be unbiased. Which hand will toss it? Who will toss it? Why? A coin will undoubtedly give two outputs, but with extreme practice you can perfect the platform on which this game is played and that will cause biased result. Why is it that every time Dent escapes the net, others suffering every time,losing their life? Perhaps he is too good at tossing it. I personally feel the scenario will be different if the Dent tosses the coin from the other hand rather than the one you see in the picture. But then again,another thought- Perhaps since their is no purpose of living for Dent, the rightful place of that coin lies in the hands of two face. Fair enough I guess. We owe everything we are responsible for, the only thing that bothers me is why can't this moral world allow us to level the things up by ourselves rather than forgetting them, forgiving the responsible and then leaving them as they are, leaving them to God, fate? If the responsible, the culprits will pay for what they have done, if everybody has to, then why not do it yourself than let somebody other do it and that too might be at a stage where you may not know anything about it? Acting like this will cause havoc,chaos everywhere,but I say even at this instant the world is not completely fair; there is injustice only difference being we are not part of it. When we do, I am sure 9/10 will respond the same way they do.

Absent-minded ATOMIC Adventure.....(AAA)

Have you ever been able to imagine more misery than this man's face? Just look at him...totally in awe, completely shocked and none the less, totally helpless. Well, it happens sometimes, where you are so happy for some accidental things you get,but after some time you realize they are more troublesome than you had ever imagined! You end up being a member of the superstock like this one in the adjacent photo. Do I have anything to do with this electronics thing or some atomic stuff(:P) as you may think. Not really with the details of the photo, but expression, yes! and a damn bloody yes!
What could be more cruel than your happiness being turned into a nightmare,courtesy others?

On a pleasant afternoon recently, I was just assigned the job of buying all the medicines for family members, collecting bills blah blah blah....Now generally you wont expect anything great to happen, with city inflected with swine flu and deserted roads,there was hardly a chance for some entertainment anywhere. So here i was, a lonely bored boy walking down to the nearest medico to get medicines. Now till the time I reach the store, my mobile displays a message- Your account has been recharged by 76 Rs. Current balance- 5.00 Rs. 'Whoa! That's a bonus! Somebody has accidently recharged a message pack on my account!' That really recharged me along with my balance! (These days I am always running low on balance. :( ) I was so happy, this was going to take care of my messaging requirements for a month at least and I thought today was my lucky day. I went to the store, bought medicines, collected bills and started again back to my road. No way I was going to recharge for the poor person! Though I had sympathy for him, he should have been careful while entering the no.(Me 2 3 vela chukichya no. var recharge kela ahe, mala ajun ekdahi parat koni recharge kela nahi! :( ) No chance, it was his mistake and he would have to bear with it.

My phone rang as I had expected. Look at the screen and its a friend's no. Phew! So that person hasn't called till now, most probably he wouldn't. I thought lets share this with my friend. I picked up the phone only to notice a loud heart beat. Might be shes come from exercise, she will speak after sometime. So I waited a bit, she cut the phone! Okay, might be that she couldn't hear, let me go to my house and then call her. After 2 minutes, again her phone. This time I picked up, again loud heart beat, as if something terrible has happened. Now I started speaking without waiting for her to cut the phone again. Perhaps I could lighten up her mood by this incident.
" Hello" - me
"Hello' - her.
" Aga tu thakli ahes ka khup ?"- me
"Are me atach palat aliy var."-her
"Palaychi kay garaj hoti? Listen na, some stupid fellow just recharged my account by 76 Rs! Can you imagine? Kevdha mand asel na to! Akha message pack recharge kela tyani! 500 messagescha! Kasle mand mansa astat! Phonpan ala nai ajun. Lolz! Ata mala akha monthcha tension nahi...."
A voice almost on the verge of crying from the other side...
"Kay jhala? Kai chukicha jhalay ka?"-me
"Mand! I have wasted the whole balance my mum gave me to recharge your phone!"- her sobbing.

Now you can relate the face in the photo. I had to say sorry for all the hatai I did on the phone. Then let her recharge her balance from the money she owned me. Message pack plus talktime. sigh. All the happiness flushed with one single moment! That friend was so absent minded that she had actually told the shopkeeper my no. instead of her while recharging, and she came to know that after she had parked her vehicle in the apartment. And above all, I had to hear a life long pravachan on how I was responsible for the incident instead of her. Happiness turned into total misery. Life me kabhi kabhi eisa bhi hota hai. Thank god it was only a small recharge! Had it been something more costly, I would have happily rested in my grave. I just pray for her that she doesn't transfer all her money or assets on my no. and then trade them with mine! May god give some peace to this poor soul.....

P.S. - If you cant relate the relation of the title with the incident, leave it. The name is appropriate but specific. Language conversion of some word may help.... :P
kash...if i would have got a photo with same expression and supershock instead of superstock!

The Psychological Syndrome(PS-1)........

16th July, Thursday, electrical department room number 10......

For the first time I was attending a lecture seriously since I entered engineering. Generally you would expect the first day at college to be a dull,boring one with no happenings.But as always, our department was an evergreen exception,(cause according to our sir,there cannot be energy transfer without any friction?!) first lecture starting at 12:30 instead of 9:30 was a relief. First lecture went well(Electrical machines-2), I could note down all the major points, without getting bored(which I usually get) and most importantly, remaining completely awake. Then came the news- The lecture which was supposed to be at 9:30 was postponed to 1:30. Damn! Another hurdle in my way! Since I had decided to attend all lectures attentively, I had to sit for this one too. Sitting on last bench was the best possible arrangement I could think of.
The lecture was regarding the subject power systems-1(PS-1). It begun with a good introduction from sir as to why we need to study power in terms of electricity and why most of the power used today is in electrical form. 20 minutes passed. First symptom- I started feeling weird. Sir wrote down something on the board,it was supposed to be something related to conventional and non-conventional energy sources. But no matter how hard I tried, I could not figure it out as what was written. The words written on the blackboard looked like some ancient Mayan script! A look at all others..Stern faces, all facing the blackboard,complete silence- an indication of total attention and understanding. I tried again and again, but all attempts in vain.
Sir again scribbled something on the board, this time the script looked similar to Japanese symbols I learn. Again a look at the class- no change in faces. That forced a doubt in my mind, may be I was not feeling well, may be there was a problem in my eyesight. 50 minutes gone. I had succeeded in writing only 10-15 words till now. Then the second symptom- till now I was able to figure out what sir was saying,now it was hard to do so, every sentence seemed like a code to be deciphered. I tried my best to understand what sir was trying to convey, only thing I could understand was basic words like power,grid,some regions,etc. This time I decided to take a break from lecture,and pay attention to the class for some time. While I could not figure out what was there on blackboard I could clearly see every classmate,first benchers to last benchers. But the most troubling fact was that everybody was constantly looking at the blackboard and then nodding in affirmation. Now I was sweating- They can see everything, they can hear everything. I can't! There has to be a problem with me! I was terrified, perspiration all over my face.The lecture was supposed to end at 2:30, when I looked at the watch it was 3:30,so there had to be a problem with my senses.....
After the lecture I came out, only to discover my senses were still intact. Nobody had paid attention,they all were just pretending. There was no fault in my eyes, sir's handwriting was indeed mysterious. What I thought as notes in everybody's notebooks were paintings of him,or comments passed about him. Nobody had got what sir had said, they were half asleep to notice what he was saying. Everybody had thought sir was observing them,so they preferred nodding at certain intervals to avoid being caught. The only thing I missed was that earlier Japanese symbol was actually a diagram of simple power system. One hell of freaking misunderstanding!

PS:- Third symptom - If you start doubting your eyesight or your hearing abilities, consult the nearest psychologist as quickly as possible! Start doubting your brain instead of your senses... :|

Thought for the day.....

Had Rajnikant been there during Newton's time, he would have got the ultimate exception to his laws and it could have saved all the trouble scientists take today to prove that Newton's laws have exceptions!!! :) (And it could have saved lot of trouble for my brother too who is having a hard time remembering them!)

Be careful while you say...Cadb(a)!!! :)

==========





BEFORE :-

A desolated place,village horizons seen at a distance, wind blowing at full speed, hardly giving any chance to move.........
Four miserable people, walking through the lonely,endless road.Scanning all the directions,nowhere a ray of hope. Hunger,lack of sleep.Searching for means of transport. But all attempts in vain.Furious nature-a pleasant drizzle, but threatening to turn into a heavy downpour anytime...Adverse conditions.All four must find their way, as fast as possible, to the nearest village, otherwise they could get inflicted with wrath of nature, freezing cold and paralyzing winds! They must stick together, fight all obstacles with unity and patience, try to seek happiness in each others company.......

And asking for happiness.....there was much of it,more than needed!! :) So this is what happened....We had gone for a visit to a factory at Paud, on the outskirts of Pune. While the visit was expected to last till evening 5:30, we were done by 1:30!! :| (We could endure the theory and all the logic stuff only till then :)) The factory was located fairly away from the village,almost around 3-4 kms so we had to walk our way to it. We began our walk enthusiastically only to give way to blazing enlightenment that it was more tiring and much more boring than we had thought until the conversation suddenly changed like this..........


"Mala cadb khavasa vattey! "-me.
"Ithe kuthun cadb milnare ? Green cadb khayla milel. Gavat padla ahe tikde shetat!"- A.G.
"Tu gappa bus! Uth suth khaycha dista tula!"- Ab the incredible.
" Cadb mane! Ithe cadb nahi cadba milel!"- Her.
"Cadba..? He kay asta ?"- A.G.
"Aga tula cadba mait nahi ka? Te janavar khatat! Mhashinna khau ghaltat te!"- Her.
At that time(impeccable timing!!), a stern look from Ab the incredible, a jerk to his neck in disagreement and then the fitting joke....
"Tula barobar kalta he sagla!!! :) :D :P"

AFTER:-
Two uncontrollably laughing people, trying to hide it in vain,one slightly confused,in dillema whether to laugh over his own joke,one exceptionally quiet- with a constipated expression on her face! Paichan kaun? :P


The best ever perfection of timing Ab has achieved till now. We were rolling on the floor laughing, there were two thunderous outbursts of laughter!!(Third time I had to put handkerchief in my mouth to stop! :)). We couldn't stop laughing while we still continued walking, walked another km or 2 untill we reached a bridge. There she stands for a while and looks at her reflection in the clear waters. After 10 minutes of steady observation she finally regains her attention towards walking. There is a smile on her face! :) (I think lack of horns made her reassure herself that she looked quiet different! :P) We forgot all the pain,hunger,thirst, anything that could make us deviate from the fun! It was a happy trip back home! :)

P.S. - My sincere apologies to all the buffaloes in the world!! I really and heartily sympathize with all of them! To buffalo kind, my condolences.... :(

Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind....

Mind.....one of the most beautiful things gifted by God!! What will we be without the mind and the heart? While the heart could give you unexplainable happiness beyond words,beyond expressions, it can also give you equally tormenting,excruciating pain! The heart makes you aware of the beautiful feelings that lie within you - love,happiness,care,etc. But what if things don't go your way? It is the heart that burns the most,makes you restless,sad,hyper. But the mind ?! It might not give you the pleasure heart offers but it won't give you that much pain as well. All that reside within mind are thoughts,some logical,most of them illogical,random!!
Have you ever noticed the start of a spiders web? I bet nobody has! It looks so beautiful...ecstatic!! The mind is just like a web,various thoughts webbed into each other create a string of thinking, you never know what begun from where,you just go through them...think over some of them,neglect others which may seem foolish to you!! The mind is an unsolved mystery(if you look carefully you will find resemblance of the shape of the mind with a question mark!! ) The mind is a question!!! Nobody ever knows what is going on inside. A large flow of thoughts creates traffic,everything gets stuck up,you become numb! Have you ever thought why did you get the exact thought at that exact instant? If you try to think so you'll get another thought...n another thought about why you are thinking about it!Have you ever thought why you are in this world?
What is my purpose?Why was I born in India only? Not somewhere else?Why did I come to coep?(Well,i know answer to this one.. :) I got good marks!) Why do I look like myself? Why
are there so many people hungry in this world? Isn't God merciful enough to feed them? Why does Sky have so many shades? So beautiful? Why do we call it sky? Not something else? Why do I talk so much? Why am i thinking so much? Don't I have any important things to do? (Oops! Have to complete an exercise!! :P) Why do I always forget things..? Why am I so stupid? Didn't God get any other Bakra..? Sa re ga ma pa madhe singerschya singing peksha judges jast badbad ka kartat? Just because they get money for it?! Why does my mum see all those serials from 7 30 to 9 30 despite the fact that they all offer same mirch masala in the story.(Problem in every household! :|)
So many thoughts - some have answers, some don't. What if thoughts were not there? We would be like a machine,manually operated,push-buttons for every work. Besides being spotless,mind is like sunshine,eternal,never ending chain of thoughts as long as you live!!! After every night,it just rises above horizon!! Without mind,the heart would be just enough to keep human body ticking!Just wish this eternal sunshine of spotless mind never ends.... :)

Hansi da parathas.......from childhood till now....

To err is human, to forgive is divine; but what about to forget?! Its okay once or twice, but to constantly and consistently forget can prove troublesome!!!.Here is the list of some of the funniest incidents happened with me( most of them due to my absent mindedness! :)), some with mirch masala and each having a new ingredient to forget!!!

1. In 2nd standard, i woke up from my sleep at 5 pm approx.(nind ki jhappi...quite normal...) and straight away went to play cricket...it was after batting for 15 minutes that i realized that everybody was staring me awefully. It took me complete 5 minutes to realize that i had worn nothing over my upper body!!! I broke the record for fastest running that day only..... :)

2.In 5th standard, i came to school, took my place at the backbench.After the first lecture started i realized i hadn't brought my schoolbag!!! My classteacher didn't know whether to laugh or cry! I entertained myself for the whole day outside the class!! :)

3.In 7th standard, i rode my bicycle through the streets to the nearest bakery to buy cookies. I parked my bicycle,bought the cookies,they looked delicious(yummy...) and walked down happily down to my house :).(Got the point...?)

4.More often my father asks me for water, i end up giving it happily to my grandmother;who drinks it happily ever and i am left with an empty glass with shouts from background!!!


Well....countless times i have forgot address to my house, vegetables my mum asks me to bring, to study(:)),countless pens,pencils,rulers,water bottles,movie dvds to be abstract.Speaking of particular, i have lost 3 calculators,2 bags,a fast track goggle,a timex watch,a mobile phone,a sheet container,a drawing board! that's only for the first two years of engineering! I just know i have forgot something after i have lost them!Otherwise i am quite normal..... :).

The Bouncy Bread Board Hypothesis....

" The chances of success of your electronics project decrease exponentially with the use of faulty breadboards !!!" - The hypothesis of breadboard.
It works very well...at least in electrical department of COEP! Though the corollary is not true...(You can always take the credit for a surprisingly well working project inspite of a bumpy breadboard!!! :) ).That rectangular 7*4 device has given me a lot of trouble and a hell difficult run for my marks in the last semester!
Nevertheless it was worth the experience it gave me; all the fun n hustle n bustle; spats with the group members(we had lots of them! :)) and the most important - it made me sweat badly!
It so happened that we had to do a project for 50 marks in electronics and I was the group leader of 14 people....(Each one weird in own respect!!!). We were given with the responsibility of making a digital multiplier(4*4 bit). For the first few days,it was all leisurely work which begun with search for ICs and ended with a movie in the lawn(Remember Happy Days...?!). With a few days of search, we came to know ICs weren't available in the market; so we finalized on solution of cascading smaller ones.Now, here comes the entry of breadboard. The department had provided us with a breadboard which was...umm.....not well 'bred'. While cascading the two ICs just wont fit together!!! While Someone pressed one IC; the other used to pop out and if if those two made it, some third would clear its strong disagreement with the place where it was fitted!! We simulated the project, everything worked well.....but the breadboard wouldn't allow us to materialise it in reality. We couldn't get it replaced either...(We are always short of apparatus,aren't we? :|).Three weeks passed,day of submission came yet the breadboard had shown us the courtesy only to make individual circuits work properly.It was a do or die situation...that breadboard had given us a scare!!! We made up our mind...reached some concrete conclusions. Half of us started working vigorously on the project while others engaged themselves more fiercely(Obviously...i was here!! :)) in convincing madam that the only fault in this project was the breadboard! At last we had some success......the breadboard showed some output!(Bravo for people who did it!!!) Only thing this time it showed an output of 12 no mater what the digital input was. We were forced to do following thnigs :-
1. Convince madam that our project had worked successfully dispite of a bouncy breadboard.
2.Proof the previous sentence by showing her an output of 12*1=12, 3*4=12 and 6*2=12!!!
Phew! A big relief it was.....
I have went through all this trouble to let you know only one thing.....even if your project doesn't work work well...don't worry....your breadboard is faulty...not your thinking! :) You are just another victim of the bouncy breadboard hypothesis!! :P

Saturdays, movies n sems.......
Movies.....my love since sixth standard when i used to go every Wednesday to watch a movie with my Dada,afternoon show.Even that love continues while i have entered engineering;only thing being Wednesdays replaced by Saturdays n
Dada replaced by friends!!!! COEP......college of eternal perseverence[:(]...where u are made to sweat right from starting of the sem till end through endless chains of tests n exams until holidays give you some air to breathe.I chose electrical engineering for my career, thought it suited me better than other branches. First day at college,particularly in the class....where every boy seemed a geek(leave alone the beauties..:P),I thought I had done myself in..but the moment we started conversating with each other;the scenario was totally different! They were just like me, two of them(They are still interesting enough to keep me away from others!!! ) ;we shared same interests, n to my surprise.... they were better movie maniacs than me!! Even I dont recollect how the chain started; but after first two weeks it was all movies n saturday......a new movie every saturday...at mangla or e-square . It was all fun;(We were very attentive on saturdays.!!!!)...imagine waking up at every saturday by a call releasing all kinds of shouts(u knw...******##***); only to make you realise that you are running half an hour late...(Again!!!!)....its already 9 o'clock whereas you all had decided to meet at 8:30!!! Then all hush n rush......putting wateverclothes you get your hands on and making it there somehow at 9:20.[:)]. Then affection to movies increased to such a level that we started to bunk every lecture(I was in defaulter list of all the subjects!! );sit at my home enjoying a movie on dvd eating maggie we bought in the way. First sem passed, my results dipped like anythnig ever(got 6 in maths!!!);but still the movie mania continued...second sem passed;this time my friends's results took a nosedive and we were seeing more movies than before!!!! But still it was worth it.....where college freaks you out for a complete week,watching a movie releases all your stress out;for all those three hours you dont think of anything; you are in a world that movie puts you in....enjoying thrill,action,emotion,drama and climax....But i have to agree- If the movie isnt woth the hype you feel liking banging your head on nearest wall plus you feel sad for wasting your money( It comes very hard for me!!!)
Since then my love with movies still continues;never ceasing to end. Current streak stands at a whooping 83(last one being Angels n Demons...didnt like it though....) and it'll continue to increase one by one every saturday...[:)].
P.S. :- My parents don't know anything about it.....so please if anybody of you know them personally, its a humble request please dont tell them...they'll kick me out of the house!!!!
