"The Land of Smiles" - My trip to Thailand ...

2012-02-03T14:46:00.005+05:30

Yes Thailand is actually "the land of smile" - all smiling faces :) :)

It was my first foreign trip so its obvious how much I was excited (most of u know that) ..

In thailand , there are two sets of tourists - Indian & rest of world ... Indians married couples might not do sex on a regular basis but nobody can match their potential to reproduce at such a great rate ... This might be problem for our country but there is also a positive side to this - We Indians are at every corner of the world !!!

As soon as landed , police asked me many questions ... It reminded me of the incident when samik was caught at Mumbai railway station.

In my case too my get up was pathetic enough for the police to question me .

I didnt like the Thai food much - it smells so bad !!!

But I love Thai girls ;) .... I didnt find any fat female (of any age) there ...

Thailand is not a shopping heaven .. Infact most of their personal & home care products are imported from India ...

We Indians are expert in Bargaining & I used my skill to the fullest .. For anything I would straight away say half of the price ..

Footpath market is more famous than the malls ... U can get any damn thing there ...

Thailand is a stronghold of Toyota - 2 out of 3 car is toyota ..

The best was that the taxi there is Toyota Corolla ... Corolla is status symbol in India ...

I enjoyed the trip as after more than 10 years my whole family had together gone on a holiday ..

But here I would say that Thailand is not a place to go with family .. Best is go with guys or gf (not even wife) ...

Next trip might be Malayasia in June !!!

Hadd hai, the hibernation mode has begun yet again.
I know that the winters are harsher this year, but guys, you can start burning some fat off the fingers and brain.. Someone write a nice long post.. on which we can have nice long witty discussions! *Something other than marriage/ relationships- That is the major reason why I am not writing a long post!*

New Year Resolutions..

2012-01-13T10:59:00.000+05:30

So what exactly were your new year resolutions, and now that the dreaded '7' Day mark has already passed.. how many of you are sticking to your resolutions.. and how many have already broken it.. ;)

Happy 2012 TWM members

2012-01-05T20:59:00.002+05:30

Spent the new year night at Tokyo. Had loads of fun and food. Guess the thing top of the rice in the plate(not the two green vegetables).

Happy 2012

Different sights from Jamshedpur

2011-12-30T02:52:00.001+05:30

Have you done some stunts as a kid; jumping from the bed with a towel tied around your neck!! I could do some stunts like skidding on my bicycle.

Just happened to come across this video and seems like the kids are having great fun..

Delhi Trip [December 2011]

2011-12-27T16:15:00.000+05:30

Here are a few pictures from the meetup. For more pictures, do check out my FB profile. Shall also upload them soon on Flickr.

Making the Christmas more than merry!

2011-12-26T17:19:00.000+05:30

So, it is Christmas and we are all getting ready to bid adieu to the year 2011!

I am sure that a lot of us went through loads of ups and downs, and that we would be looking back at certain fond memories of the year gone by and at the same time, we will be wanting to start the New Year *The last year according to Nostradamus or some one or the other* before the world ends.

And, thank heavens that I got to meet loads of TWM members before the world is kicked into the chaos gear. So making the Christmas Merry, this year, we had with us, in saddi dilli, Dion, Raj & Shayon *Shayon's moved back to Mumbai* and there were us- Mannu, Gandhi, Debu and myself!

We missed the rest of you! And, it would have been one hell of a party had all of you been here!

So from the lunches to the dinners and to the absolutely random trip to dumdama lake and then Jim Corbett national park, the guys had loads of fun *I am hoping that my assumptions are right*.

I of course, being the Cinderella girl, had my timings to keep and therefore, I could not spend as much time as I wanted to, but whatever time I did spend with all of you all- It was awesome. *Being the girl of the group, is so much of fun, I think I got taller by at east two inches thanks to all the leg pulling*.

Here is the picture of the group, one of the best *Or so every one says.. of course getting Dion to keep his eyes open in any picture was a tough task*

I feel, that we should as a ritual make sure that meet if not more often then at least once a year, even if it is for just one odd day!

To meet friends,

to live and re live the memories,

of the past, and making a few more,

of the present, to remember and

smile broadly, again and again!

Wishing all of you, a very Merry Christmas and an AWESOME 2012!

A Football Post

Here We Are....The match video

At the end of the video you will see FCB player's photos in a bus. Those were taken before the match when Players were leaving from their hotel. We unknowing reached near the FCB team's hotel while walking in the Yokohama city when we saw a big crowd near a big hotel. We waited for almost two hours for the players came out from hotel. Many people were standing to take autographs. But nobody was lucky. They came down the hotel and reached into the team bus swiftly. But ..but something miraculous happened there. One guy suddenly started screaming 'Shakira'. She was Shakira, the Pop singer came to Japan with boyfriend pique, the barcelona central defender. It was an enjoyable night.

DAY OUT IN TOKYO

2011-12-11T19:00:00.002+05:30

Barcelona team has arrived in Tokyo today for FIFA Clubs World Cup. They will directly play in the semifinal on 15th December. check out the news: http://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/detail/article/schedule-for-fifa-clubs-world-cup-in-japan
Can't miss to see Messi & Barcelona. It's a lifetime opportunity. So, I'm taking a holiday on Thursday to see the match.
Hmm. There is the other news for which I'm writing. Yesterday I attended Tokyo Motor show. This was the first time I've been in Tokyo. There was no time to visit the city except the motor show due to lack of time. Some of us has decided to go to Tokyo and spend few days from 30^th dec for new year celebration. The New Year resolution will be to discover world’s most populated urban metropolitan.

As expected, this year Japanese motor show did not have the same extravagance like previous years. This was mainly because of the gruesome tsunami that has brought down the business of Toyota and Honda a lot. The European Giants did showcase their muscle or technology as they again tried to prove that they some steps ahead than the rest as per technology is concerned.

2012 January New Delhi auto expo will be a bigger event because more number of companies will participate and more numbers of cars will be displayed. You guys should visit that. I made the following two videos. First one is BMW electric car concept which I thought the best display in this event. Second video was taken mostly from our bus to catch some glimpse of world largest urbanized area 'Tokyo Metropolitan'.

'Men say No'

2011-12-09T15:27:00.000+05:30

This Blog is part of the Men Say No Blogathon, encouraging men to take up action against the violence faced by women.

More entries to the Blogathon can be read at www.mustbol.in/blogathon. Join further conversation on facebook.com/delhiyouth & twitter.com/mustbol

***************************************************************************************************************************************

So, when I was invited to write on this topic, I had a lot of thoughts going criss cross in my mind. And, I almost started posting this on my own personal blog, then, it hit me, that why don't I post this HERE, and start a discussion, with who better than the men in my life!

And my problem is that Delhi is helpless and I stay there!!

And it needs help, from the psychiatrists and Councilors. One part of the education budget should be kept aside for educating the men, old, young and even kiddos, to manage their anger and their Ego. And then there should also be a fund for tutoring the people of Delhi to have and to hone a sense of humanity. Numerous instances of shooting the girls in broad daylight, or picking them up from the delhi university campus, or the most famous case of Jessica Lall, where she became the target of a rage of an influential man!!

What is it with men? They have in the past fought battles for their women. Be it Lord Ram, who went all the way to Lanka to get his lady love back, or be it the battle grounds of Kurukshetra wherein the Pandavas fought for the shame that was caused to their wife Panchali.And today, call me totally lame, but really, what kind of a sadist pleasure do they get from insulting the women.. especially in cases where it is often claimed that the boy was in love with the woman, and therefore, when that love is rejected by the girl for any reason whatsoever- she is either raped, or acid is thrown on her face so that she remains scarred for life or as per one of the incident that shook the city this year, shoot the girl.

We all go on and on about our personal rights and as a matter of fact, talking legally we do have a fundamental right to live with all the dignity... then why is it that when it comes to being jilted or when you get a hard on for that matter, men can go to such an extreme level of anger and and end up raping and killing the woman ???

Yes, there are some people who are mentally ill.. but then, looking at the statistics of the number of women getting raped- have most of the men lost all sense of treating the other gender with any any any any Respect, or dignity!!!

Who is at fault?? Because if such a heinous crime is taking place at large in the society- then, there has to be someone at fault.. and there has to be a solution to this problem. And trust me, confining the women at home and telling them wear a burqua is no help.. because women in burqua have also been raped...!!!

Please help me understand, WHY in a country like India, where Goddesses are worshiped, are the women raped and treated like toys??

Take the recent event where two young teenaged boys Ruben and Keenan, tried to fight for the dignity of their female friends and in the end, what happened?? They got killed for what is right.

Is right and wrong only limited to the male gender...

That when the man of the house says 'Get Up' the woman HAS to act like his puppet??

Ruben and Keenan incident, has really stirred up the conscience of many, but, unless the men at large don't put their foot down, and support not only their sisters and mothers, but also their wives.. *Somehow, when it comes to the wife, again the tag woman is thrown out of the window*.

It is not about being a feminist. Or that I am a girl and I am advocating this. It is about the fact that, a girl, is a human being too. She needs to be treated at least like a fellow human being and not like a sex object.

In a country, where on navratris and durga puja, the mighty power of the goddesses is worshiped, from the same pandal a woman is sedated and later raped.
Why is India still a country of double standards?

Is it because, most of the country is uneducated?
Or Is it because, even the educated behave like illiterate!!

Think about it!

Happy Birthday Maindhak!

2011-12-05T00:01:00.000+05:30

So, today is the Birthday of our very own Maindhak!
The one guy, no, actually, one of the many here from NIT who just would not spell or pronounce my name right, and look at me, I am still writing a budday post for this frog!

Anyways, so here is wishing 'Chax' a very Happy Birthday!!! The first after his marriage! *Wow, this is the second birthday post in a row for the very happily married member of TWM *

All of us from TWM wish that the smile on your face remains intact along with your witty sense of humour!!

And I personally wish that you finally learn your English alphabet right and spell my name correctly! :) *Just Kidding*

Once again, wishing you happiness, success and a great long life!
Happy Birthday!!

NIT Jamshedpur students to prove their mettle in London formula-student race

2011-11-28T21:11:00.001+05:30

NIT Jamshedpur students

Engineering students of NIT of Jamshedpur have set an example for B-town ‘Engineer-Idiots’ by manufacturing a wonder car which would be hitting the racing track in the London’s Formula-student-UK-2011 to be held from July 13 to 17.

The 11 engineering students of NIT Jamshedpur have developed wonder car equipped with several special features. The previous version of this car had brought laurels to the institution and students by winning the Formula Society Automobile Engineering Australian Racing in 2011 in Melborne.

Team leader Uttam Kumar a mechanical engineering student said, “After participating in the Australia Formula Racing, many modifications have been done in the engine. Earlier it was of 150cc but now the capacity has been raised to 600cc. Now the wonder car can touch a top speed of 200km per hour. The weight of the car is 270 kg.”

The creators of the wonder car have named it Drift Racing 211 (DR 211).

The engineering students informed that at least Rs 24 lakh has been invested in the car. And companies like Tata Steel, Korba Engineering Private Limited and Soma of Metals have helped the students by giving the potential sponsorships.

Pleased with the effort, the Director of NIIT Jamshedpur has congratulated the institute team involved in the project.

The team of students involved in the car manufacturing includes Uttam Kumar, Rahul Singh, Saumyadeep Vishwas, Alok Srivastava, Aditya Kumar, Saket Sardar, Turam Purti, Nitin Agarwal and Alok Verma.

Hiding behind a veil

2011-11-24T14:20:00.000+05:30

Privacy and secrecy, all are a part of ones existence. We all have our own space, our own things, eccentricities which we don't like to share with the world!
But, please people, this is a public forum, basically a place for NIT Jamshedpur's Wall Mag to hang out (and yes, a lawyer too). You have all known each other through college.
Outside college also we meet up, we interact and we have fun together.
Then, why veil yourself??

I am honestly pretty tired of 'Anonymous' comments on our blog. It is no fun, especially when one of 'US' ends up posting as an anonymous identity!
We are not here to judge people by what they say. The most that we can do is pull the other persons' leg and joke out of it.. *And I am hoping that I am echoing everyone's feelings!*

So, I propose that we disable 'Anonymous' commenting on the blog.
You are welcome oppose this motion, and I suggest that we have a decision taken on this issue!!
Thanks!

Happy Birthday- Dipayan!

2011-11-20T23:39:00.001+05:30

November seems to one hell of an active week for all of us! There are a slew of posts, one after the other! Like literally!

And here comes another Birthday Post!!
Today we are all gonna wish our very own 'Open' source guy- Dipayan!!!
The only one for whom I will not a wish of getting a fair bride, because he already had one!

So for him, the right wish for his birthday would be that of peace... And happiness and loads of success!
Here is wishing Dipayan a very very Happy Birthday!!

We all wish the best for your birthday :)

PS: Birthday is on 21st!

TWM's favorite adult movie star Award 2011

2011-11-20T21:49:00.013+05:30

The crazy Indian media has found its new muse for few days.Sunny Leone(pronounced as Sunny Leoni),the Indian born Candian porn star, is all over the news as she happens to be the latest entrant to the crappiest show ever- Big Boss-5. Though I have never watched Big Boss in the last 5 years for the sheer silliness of the show and its participants, but seems like now I maybe a little motivated to watch it given Sunny Leone is here. Sample the joke below, the variants of which have appeared in TOI,HT and have been floating around on Facebook

"Husband to Wife(husband pretending to be a good guy): Who is Sunny Leone ?
Wife to Husband : The one whose videos you have been hiding in your desktop in Sunny Deol's folder!

Sunny Leone has caught the fancy of Indian media and Indian youth, so does TWM know about what its members like? We do all sort of polls ,but why not sometimes discuss things which we usually keep under the cover, so I thought that it was a great time to add some fire to this topic and scandalize The Wall Mag by starting this contest to find out TWM's favorite adult movie star 2011!

I'm nominating 13 porn stars for this award whom I have seen "in action". Please add to the list if I missed some of your picks.

1. Jenna jameson
2. Tori Black
3. Kayden Kross
4. Audrey Bitoni
5. Sasha Grey
6. Jessica Correa
7. Alexa Presley
8. Priyanka Rai
9. Presley Maddox
10. Tegan Presley
11. Ginger Lee
12. Jenni Lee
13.and who else then the babe whose pic is here on this post-Sunny Leone

Here's a little more trivia about Sunny Leone in case your knowledge in this spehere is a little limited. She's the girl Russell Peters is talking about in this incredibly hilarious video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZfeHk1Rem8

To preempt any chance of you being prudish to reveal your nominee and pretend that you have never watched a movie except for the ones which can be watched with families,let me break the ice by nominating my contender for this award. I recommend Kayden Kross to be my choice for The TWM's favorite Adult Movie Star Awar-2011.A ravishing beauty with a flawless,hourglass figure and great oomph factor!Better than any Hollywood actress and any girl I have seen till now.But men are different,and tastes differ, so let's hear out your contenders

P.S.-Given the title of the post,I could have done much better by putting a more "appropriate" pic of Sunny Leone, but given the fact that TWM is not a all-men's clan ,so thought that I'd spare the women a shock! ;)

What happened in NIT Jamshedpur

2011-11-20T02:56:00.001+05:30

Our college, its professors and the students - none of them will ever change. There is this 2nd year guy called Sanket who had written a blog post about it. Looks like he developed chicken feet later on and pulled the post down. Nonetheless, being the geek I am, I retrieved it off Google cache and took a snapshot. Download it to read what had happened in NIT Jamshedpur that day.

Half Time

2011-11-18T01:45:00.000+05:30

Roughly, we may be at the half way junction of our active (able-bodied) life cycle. We learnt a lot of things since the time we crawled on all fours to this point. Though there is still confusion as to which road to walk. I think I am on a side path which may suddenly drop me on the main road.Is it not the time to apply my learnings and do the things I had imagined as a younger restless mind? Now I am able and fearless. Still, it is also the time to get settled. No more of Brownian motion. That's my personal choice. But again there is this call for a quest, will there be another trajectory that will be altogther different if I make the choice? A state of duvidha!

I had been on adventures to find a companion for the journey ahead. Alas, not all expeditions are successful. Hope is important to the exploring spirit for there are still beautiful patches and brilliance!

I am ready for the next half nevertheless. It's time or is it time!!

Happy Birthday Karma!!

2011-11-17T00:19:00.001+05:30

So it is the Birthday of our very own super shareef and super sweet Karma!
The best part being- that- he is back in India (For Good.. Yipeee!!! ), and I am sure that he must be having a blast!

So, our dear Karma,
On birthdays normally a gift is given and a return gift then taken!
But, for you- I am going to take the liberty and from all of us-I am asking for a return gift! I am asking you to get your ass back on TWM and enlighten us all with your petals of wisdom! :)

Any ways- Happy Birthday to you :)
And we all wish you all the success in life!
And one extra wish that, Comes- JUST from me..
That may you get a pretty bride, as soon as you please!!!

Which phone to buy ?

2011-11-15T14:38:00.004+05:30

Raj had posted here regarding his confusion about which car to buy. Though that seemed to be a no-brainer to me as I would have gone for Honda City but I am in a similar situation ,the only difference being that I'm confused about which mobile phone should I buy.

Requirements in the phone:
Long battery life. I'm a lazy bum when it comes to doing routine chores and want to have a phone whose battery lasts at least long. My dad has a Galaxy Ace and he has to charge the phone almost every day. I took some feedback from those who have iphones and Galaxy S series mobiles and they say that their batteries keep running down quickly and they have to charge their phones almost after every 8-10 hours even if they moderately use the phone.
I don't want this headache and am looking for a good phone. Don't have budget constraints. Haven't researched much about phones because I don't feel the enthusiasm. I don't know what I want as I'm happy with my Nokia 1100, the most basic Nokia phone, as it's been a great companion for more than one year but I think that it's time to move to something better. I want suggestions whether I should go for a QWERTY keypad one or for a touchscreen one? Also your top 3 picks.Let the discussion unfold!

Mission-Bring Sam to Delhi

2011-11-08T12:25:00.003+05:30

Most of us are going to here in Delhi from 21st-23rd December and we're surely going to miss those who wouldn't be able to make it. While Rathindra wouldn't be able to make it because he's seven seas away,I think Samik can surely make it. I mailed Sam for his contact number long back but as expected,the lazy bum never replied(I doubt he checks he ever checks his emails).
I urge you all to get in touch with Sam as we set out on our mission to bring Sam to Delhi. Since he's studying and may not have money to splurge on air fare, so I was thinking that we can sponsor our friend. I'm ready to sponsor his one way flight ticket and it'd be great if anyone can sponsor his flight back.
Let's bombard him with emails so that he finally comes out his den. Keep updating the status here.

Message in the Bottle

2011-11-04T15:29:00.000+05:30

Dear Rathz,
I like your idea about the travel diary.. except that there is not much to say this time. I am as a matter of fact very blue, because the holidays are up and I am going through post holiday depression!
But, I do have a lot of stuff gathered from my previous Goa trip.. and surprisingly both these trips were to two distinct part of Goa!
So, I think that a combination of my naive observation will make for a decent read.

But it will take some time. :)

Dear Dion,
Your Goa, is BEAUTIFUL! I love that place, and even though I have been there twice (third time was when I was like 7, so that does not count), I already feel like owning a house there so that I can be there as and when I want. Now, I know, that, your home town has a lot to do with the lovely person that you are.

Dear Karma,
Now, that you are finally back.. :) I can't wait to see you in December... and please please call me up as and when you can..;)
And, how about a post?

Dear Mannu,
Duhu to the damn organizers.. even though I was at the wedding, my mind did wander off to how excited you would be about the Metallica concert!!!
Apart from news reports, can you write us a post?? Or maybe a song??

Dear Raj,
Where are you?
Missing your wit and humour around here...

Dear Everyone else..
Can you guys come up with a post please???

I hope you all had a great festive weekend.. and our newly weds had a blast on their first Diwali after their shaadi.. ;)

Rest all is great.. :D
Cheers!!!

Happy Birthday - DINO!

2011-10-31T00:19:00.001+05:30

I am writing this post from Goa, so only befitting that, I write this birthday post for you :)

I wish you the best best birthday ever. Can't wait to see you. Another bonus will be Karma, who shall be returning back to India tomorrow!

Lots of love & wishes!!
