Something's new ..

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Fri, 17 May 2013 12:28:00 +0000

Like I always start a blog post by saying "its been a really long time since my last post"never thought of getting back as I got busy with the college,exams and life.Not like anything much exciting but the same old routine one.Anyways its been long and in between resolved a lot of situations and got into few new problems like always.Let me start the past.

Academics : Good bye old year and welcome new year

Last time when I wrote my last post I was in a academic year which is said to be tough and obviously I messed up things with few subjects.but not a problem I worked hard for the finals and thankfully I pulled it out all in one attempt with very good marks.And now its a new academic year and hopefully it goes well too.things looking good in the first half i am trying to keep them that way.most of the subjects are clinical and am interested.that's all about academics.

Few new things .. My phone.

Finally I got a new phone after using my old but gold Sony Ericsson cybershot for almost 4and half years.I remember buying that one while I joined my degree.its my best companion for all this long.so after feeling out dated from a year or so i finally managed to get a new phone.Of course its android and that's what the trend is or I have to say that's where my budget is up to for now (or else I could have gotten my self one of those apple products).Anyways its Samsung Galaxy nexus or famously called as Google Galaxy nexus.chosen this one as I heard lot about the pure android experience and its fast updates.

It looks amazingly slim and beautiful than my old phone. But the screen is little larger as its trend in smart phones these days.its little difficult to fit few pants of mine but its large vibrant displays is a pleasure to watch.camera looks snappier but I miss my cybershot.Loud speaker is little on th we lower side but i can live with that as i did in my previous phone.Battery is also concern in these smart phones but I can manage with fully charged battery for one day.so overall I am enjoying my first smart phone experience and amazing android experience.

By the way got my self a cheap gamepad on FlipKart .. its Atek Vibration Gamepad with Dual Shock. Its really cool.serves my purpose.had fun playing Hitman,NFS,Cricket and FIFA 12

So those are the new gadgets in my life.

Present : Sessional exams are going on.almost finish except for 2 subjects theres one tomorrow and one on next Monday.after I planned to go home but my plans might just go in vein as they say thers 's a inspection at college next week !! Let's see ..looks like have to cook up in this summer at gulbarga. Anyways planning to go to "Thadaka" tomorrow after exam.will let you know about it in my next blog post hopefully soon.

Objectives for the week :

Clean up the room.my PC,book shelf and room looking messy.need to do this on weekend.
Support Sunrisers hyderabad #SRH .. We have important matches this weekend which might decide playoff spot for us.
Finish off those internal exams just like you stated.
Catch up Allu Arjun's #Iddarammayilatho next week.

P.S : Typed this complete post from my galaxy nexus phone.

Lazy day and hazy evening

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 18:00:00 +0000

It's just another lazy Sunday so i've dont have to go to college.even though i often bunk classes two extra days a week or our classes gets cancelled sometimes.but this day of the week comes "Official".Like every other Sunday today was a very lazy day.I got up late may at 11am when one of class mate called me and said that he coming over to my room to return my record book that he borrowed a week earlier.I then went to wash my face and tuned on my PC and was lost in "Outsourced" Episodes {I love this show :)} after a while my classmate arrived.he gave me the record book and went away as he had some urgent stuff to do.I got back to my PC and continued to watch outsourced and some other random stuff till my lunch came.Had my lunch and i was in no mood for tv or other stuff so i went to sleep at 2pm ... Yeah ! what else could i do on a typical "Lazy" Sunday here ! (you know what i meant)

Woke up at 5:30 in the evening gave myself a shave and went to take bath.got ready and went outside to get some snacks and fresh air.Now the hazy part begins here.Just passed down my street and entered the main road.i see my college mates coming from the other end and one of them noticed me and started to wave his hand as a sign of "Hi".And i was like (Oh ! man. Not you again ) on the inside and (Heyyyyy !) on the outside.Let me explain about this "group" these guys are very nice on the outside but most of them only approach me when they are in need of something.I don't like their fake attitude they put up in front of me or anyone who "they think" are inferior than them.so i mostly avoid them.But this evening i unfortunately bumped into them.they started the conversation asking me "how are you?" "howz college going" "what about your internal exams".I tried to reply in short one word answers possible.when i said its a "practical" tomorrow.they started to say "Take light man ! its just Half an hour work and we've been through this ... there will be more choice of question and its just a nut job Blah blah blah" kinda stuff .. you see this is what i hate ! they were trying to show me that they are the seniors and every thing works for other like it did for them ! and oh ! not to forget the expressions they give while saying all this stuff.i'am genuinely annoyed.before they could invite for a coffee i gave my best fake smile and just escaped from there.while i continued my walk towards my regular "bread omlet" bandi i see two fellows sitting on a bench of a sugar cane juice center waving hands at me.These guys are also my college mates and i hate to bump in to one of them.though i occasionally talk with the other guy i still don't feel good talking to him nowadays.the first guy i hate to talk to him is very over buildup fellow.He just don't care about care others feelings he degrades even his closest friends character in front of a new person to befriend him.He doesn't care what that friend has done for him and how close they were been all these days.He just gets over with the present task of befriending the new one and getting his work done ! yess he doesn't approach anyone without any personal benefit.so i hate to talk to him anywhere.Now these two guys were just starting to eat my brain and iam in no mood to entertain them.They said "you came outside finally" .. I got angry and reacted "what do you mean ? i come here daily at evening some times twice or thrice the same evening.you are the guys who show up !"they started explaining how busy they are (which i don't believe or anyone who even knew them does!) I tried to escape but still they were sharing their college and class stuff saying "we pre-poned our exams,we don't care about lec's who are teaching you right now because we don't get a chance to meet them again ..we are free now. we are hosp guys and blah blah.... which iam least interested.Now They went ahead and started humiliating my class.I got got little angry and started to defend but by that time another friend came and we started greeting each other.Now i came to know why all these batch are here for.they got a exam tomorrow and they need to photocopy the material.My bad luck .. i got bumped into these leeches just the same time ! i waved two of them good bye before rest of the batch follows there.

Then i went to this new restaurant that opened recently.this is a Sunday i dont have mess on Sunday so i thought of having dinner here.so i went inside and ordered "masala rice" as i wanted to take something light.after about 20mins my order arrived and started eating.i finished my curry that comes as a side dish.so asked for extra curry.Waiter bought it but it looked different more red colored and i though may be it would taste better and started tasting with spoon.it was plain zeera n water.I called for waiter and asked to bring the same curry he bought earlier.He said "its the same sir".I said "It's tasting different and even it looks different .. may be you forgot what u gave me for the first time see this" and showed the empty vessel in which some traces of curry were left which looked different colour.But the waiter refused to accept it.he called his cook after 5min till then kept starring at the customers and tables ! Cook finally came and asked whats the problem.I noticed all other customers were staring as if was trying to create a problem there and Then lost my cool and asked in angry "What do you think ? that i cant tell a difference between what i ate earlier and now ?" He said sorry saying it was a mistake by waiter as he is new and he don't know the menu yet.This was a less problematic situation.but the conversation with some fellows earlier and the looks people in restaurant were giving just made me loose my cool.This is first of such situation that happened to me at public place where i always keep my patience and move on no matter how worse the service is.

So this was the "Lazy day and hazy evening" i had today and at the end of it was feeling very low.But now i will try to sleep and wake up fresh in the new morning.Thats how you can know "what's tomorrow got for you" Thats how we roll ... isn't it ?

Flipkart's "Flyte" - India's Online Digital Store

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 02:08:00 +0000

Until a few days there were very limited options available for indian's to download digital music legally.Though there were Free streaming services like Saavn,Gaana.com,Raaga.com for music.There was never many sources to download music tracks legally.Except for some site's like Hungama which used to offer single track at a price of Rs.10 or Unlimited downloads for a month for a price for Rs.99.Which in my Opinion are priced high and they come With DRM protection. Even some mobile stores like Nokia's Ovi store and Apple's iTunes store sold these digital content for Indians.But the problem was limited availability and if we dont own neither of these devices we cannot access to those stores.So buying Music CD's was online option left to legal buyers !

The scene changed recently when Flipkart, the popular shopping website, launched its online digital music download store Called "Flyte" allows users to purchase MP3 music files at pretty reasonable prices for Indian music fans,for whom there was no real online retailer who sold music legally and cheap.Some called it "iTunes of Indian music industry"

Flipkart is India’s largest online retailer. So it makes them eligible to sell music online,Right away in the same online shopping site. The music collection at Flipkart is pretty much exclusively suited for Indian tastes same like their online shopping portal. Though there is also an international section available in digtal music store.Flyte offers music in downloadable MP3 format Quality Starting from 64kbps to 320Kbps which Flipkart calls "CD Quality Music" but without any DRM-like restrictions. Thus, you can Sync and listen to your purchased music on any computer or mobile device that you own or, if you upload your music library to Dropbox, you can even access your music inside any web browser.You can Download your purchased music track upto 4times.So you don't have to worry if a device you downloaded the track for the first time is not with you for syncing.You can straight away go to the flyte store anytime and download it into your new device anytime.

Also, note that there is a new Cart called 'Digital Cart' apart from the regular cart. While currently the only digital downloads may be MP3 files, the 'flyte' Digital Store seems to suggest that a slew of other Digital media downloads is on the cards for Flipkart.Payment needs to be done online with netbanking or credit card. Once you are done, simply download the songs from your browser or by Flyte Download Manager.Pricing of the individual Music Tracks from a album are starting from as low as Rs.6 to Rs.15 and Entire albums starting from Rs.19.New and Popular Albums and songs are priced a little more than other albums.In most cases it seems to be slightly more economical to buy the entire album, whereas in some cases, strangely, it turns out cheaper to buy the songs separately! Bollywood music seems to be updated regularly.And flipkart is trying its best to provide 320kbps Bit rate for all its tracks as soon as possible.

What it's Got for Telugu Music Lovers :

As i said earlier.There was limited platform for music downloads in India.And Regional Language downloads were even scarce.Flyte has come up as an Boon for Telugu music lovers.For most of the regional music lover who are staying abroad or out of state there is no chance of availability of the music CD's as soon as they are released and there was no Alternative apart from Downloading songs from "Questionable sources" which is illegal.Flipkart's Flyte meets the need for them.

For now most of the albums from "Aditya music" Label are available from Telugu Movie Music downloads, Apart from the spiritual music albums.On the front page of the Telugu Music Download section we can see some big names like "Business man" "Panjaa" "100 %love" "Oosaravelli"(All from Aditya music).These are all a few months old though.

I didn't find any new Albums like "Ishq" which even from "Aditya music".Then i tried to search it by word "ishq" no results .. then "nitin" no results .. "Nitya menon" to my shock it returns "Ishq" album and also individual tracks.but i have no idea why Aditya music didnt put them on the front page.The issue may be even organization of flyte which is still in it's early stages.But I can find all most every album thats under Aditya music available.Same in case of Smitha's recent Private album "Ishana" "Renigunta" "Vennela 1 And Half" and many more Recent Albums.Aditya music is pretty good in Updating music music but these albums never showed up in "New Albums section on front page"

Prices of the various old album are starting from Rs.19 (eg "Panjaa and business man") and some most popular albums like "100% love" costs upto Rs.39 highest in telugu albums i've seen on flyte.which is pretty cheap actually when compared to Bollywood albums costed upto Rs.150.Price of individual song's also varies from Rs.6 to higher depending upon the popularity.

Note : But i can see lot of changes from Aditya music recently Especially they lowered the album cost's (for eg 100% love was initially Rs.50 or something a few days back but now Rs.30 and Panjaa and other albums were starting from Rs.25 but now Rs.19). Looks like Aditya music is Keeping the price low to encourage its online business. At these prices it is always economical and cheap to buy an entire album online rather than going for a CD.I Hope Sony music and others would also enter flyte making telugu online music downloads their primary market.Also i can see "Sony music" labels in Tamil section so i hope we can expect it into telugu section anytime soon.

Regarding the Quick Availability of Albums after the release .. I can't Comment on it now.As i think Ishq and Vennela 1 and 1/2 are only recent labels from aditya music and flyte store is launched after their release.So they were available then.But have to wait and see for "Racha" which is slated to release on "11th march 2012" through Aditya music.Lets hope they will be quick !

Update : Racha Songs are Added almost immediately and also many new albums like "Lovely" and "Adhinayakudu" are also added.All these new albums are priced very good too.The best part is that now all these albums are showing up on the front page of "Telugu section".I'am very happy that someone from "flyte's" team read my blog post and made this move :) Thanks to Moksh Nagar ma'm from "Flyte" team for considering my suggestion's.I'am glad that you liked my article :D

"Updated Telugu Downloads Page"

Anaylysis :
I hope Flyte will be adopted in a big way by music industry of india as it helps in reducing the piracy in india.On the flip side India’s population which downloads music online is very young. A majority of them do not have a credit card or netbanking account to buy music legally. But alternatively they do have a mobile phone and that might be effective way in including them in buying music online and also Currently purchases can be done only within the territory of India' says the flyte help FAQ section. It is probable that people from other countries can buy music using a billing address in India.

That been said Flipkart’s Flyte is a good platform and first ever experience for me and most of indian's which is much needed one for music lovers in India.Perhaps this may also help the music industry recover some of the revenue that is currently lost through online piracy.

Adios 2011 .... bring it on 2012 !

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 16:04:00 +0000

Still Can't believe that in a few hours from now its the end of the year 2011.This year for me is a mix of both highs and lows.But everything happened quickly.There was no time to look back once that moment passed away as i was eagerly heading towards the next goal immediately.But sooner or later here came a time where i have to look back over where i have been... and wonder what really I've been through.

Though I'll try to keep it short this may turns into quite a long post so just in case you get bored, I will wish you a Happy New Year right at the start, and I hope that 2012 brings all of your dreams to fruition.

2011 started off for me with a new year eve at Gulbarga which was part fun and part boring (well .. what can i expect in here !) and for the next couple of day I've been busy with the college and then got free (like always).the routine life then continued for a while till march when i gave some exams which did not go so well as i messed up some things.Then came the summer vacation from mid April to end of may.Had a lot of fun during these holidays and learned a quite a good stuff on web designing.in mid may i packed my bags from Hyderabad and moved back to gulbarga.Time pass for few days and then got my self involved in studies for the final exams which seemed to be more dangerous than any time in the past.These exams which were supposed to be in august were pushed to September due to some technical issues in the university.so I've decided to give my best this time and did so.after finishing my exams successfully i packed my bags again to Hyderabad for a long vacation this time as i didn't expect my results anytime soon.I planned for learning Car driving atleast in these vacation but things didn't go very well and i never learned it till date.All i did was getting up late and passing day with PC games and web designing n visiting friends when they are available.my day would end with a movie at late night.Two months passed by and i cant stand the routine life at home so i decided to get back to Gulbarga in mid november when the college started with a handful of students in attendance.so i used to attend occasionally as i was more interested in results which got pushed on and on till December.I was very tensed though i performed well in exams but RGUHS always treats its students as scapegoats.When Finally the result came i was very happy and so were my parents.With a fresh and free mind i was looking forward for next year.Classes started of regularly but most of the lech's were least interested till January so classes were very occasional till December end.

Best Moments i remember :

India Won World Cup
My Birthday Night (Thanks to my friends)
When i Saw my Exam Result
When i finally learned to cook

So that was a brief summary of what happened in 2011.i tried to skip most of the part which is boring.still find it routine then that what the year 2011 for me was like.So here is more peak of my activities and likes in 2011.

Movies :

I watched a lot of movies as usual mostly of Tollywood (Telugu) ,Bollywood and Hollywood in Theaters,on PC and occasionally on TV.

2011 started with a good movie for tollywood with Mirapakaya and Ala Modalaindi.Mirapakaya solely depended on Ravi Teja's Comedy timing while Ala Modalaindi got appreciation for its fresh feel and simple straight forward Rom - Com genre.I loved both Nani and Nithya menon pair. Though most anticipated Disney's Debut Anagananga Oka Dheerudu turned out to be a disaster at BO Jan was a good beginning for tollywood.The movies i liked then after is Gaganam for its experimental attempt in tollywood.i felt RGV's Katha Screenplay Darshakatvam Appalaraju had its moments though it eventually became a dud at BO.LBW Life Before Wedding and Kudirithe Cup Coffee were short and sweet films.I loved both of them.Prema Kavali may be a good debut for Aadi and Isha but the movie was a out and out routine predictable commercial film.Mangala was no where near Manta in terms of a thriller.Osho should work more on the story.Shakti was a torture and eventually one of the biggest disaster.Theenmaar was a good remake of LAK i liked it very much as it is a fresh and experimental subject.I didn't like Mr. Perfect and 100% Love for their predictable and routine plot.Rangam Suprised with its very tight and interesting political drama and a very good musical too.Vaishali followed the same in the Suspense Thriller genre.Badhrinaadh was one the worst attempt by VV.Vinayak and Allu Arjun.They have to know a film could be made with a good script but not a huge budget,exotic locations and peppy dancing numbers here and there.First half of the year was just good for tollywood but Kandireega,Dookudu,Oosaravelli,Pilla Zamindar entertained thoroughly in the second half of 2011.7th Sense and Urumi were made very well on history .. though both of them were dubbed.Panjaa is the best movie of the year in terms of high technical standards and stylish taking.Pawan kalyan chose an out of the path subject once again and succeed in moulding it into a cult classic.Rajanna keeravani music n BGM are highlight and annie was too gud.her expressions and acting skills are impressive.very Honest and gutsy attempt by nag.Such unique films bring great pride to TFI.Rajanna Gave a good end to the year.So overall 2011 was very good year for tollywood expected for the over budgeted Dud's.

In Bollywood the best movies of would rate would be7 Khoon Maaf,Delhi Belly, Shor in the City,Stanley Ka Dabba,Dum Maaro Dum,Pyar ka Punchnama,Shaitan,Chillar Party,Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara,Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge,Rockstar,Don 2: The Chase Continues.

And the decent Stuff ... My Friend Pinto,Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap,Ragini MMS,Tanu Weds Manu,Patiala House,No One Killed Jessica,Bheja Fry 2

my misses : Dhobi Ghat,F.A.L.T.U,The Dirty Picture,

Worst Film Of The Year : RASCALS (Ajay devgan and Sanjay Dutt)

2011 had very good hollywood films too but cant name because they are too many.

Books :

I've only read a couple books this year.which include The time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger which is very good and deep.its both combination of sci-fi and romance.Revoloution 2020 by Chetan Bhagat was a good love story with a social issue i.e corruption and power.its was good.

I Have "The monk who sold his Ferrari" by Robin Sharma lying around in my rack but never got my hand on it.Will try to read it soon.

Gadgets :
I bought a Huawei 3G modem (21 mbps unlocked) Online which very much serves my needs till date.Got a Micromax MMX 300c EV-DO modem for BSNL used for a month till now.By the year end I've upgraded my old HCL TFT Monitor to a brand new DELL 19''inch widescreen LED which I'm Loving .. And Upgraded my Traditional IDE hard disk to 1TB S-ATA Hard Disk.

Planning for lots of upgrades next year .. hope every thing goes well

Travel :

I didnt travel to any new places in this year.I was just doing to and from from Hyderabad to Gulbarga most of the time.I've visited Tirupati in Summer.

So this pretty much all my activity in 2011

New Year's Resolution :

Concentrate More and more on Academics
Be Regular to College
Believe in yourself
Stress more on Difficult things.
Set your Goals Pre-defined 'n' Achieve them with proper Planning and make every thing documented making you to remember your goals.
Use time more Productively and Mind your own work (like always)
Workout Regularly.

Journey - Movie review

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 06:49:00 +0000

Journey ('Engeyum Eppodhum' in tamil) is the sweetest film i've seen in a long time.The narration just kept me engaged through out.The two Love stories in the film are very cute and memorable.with so many funny moments in between both of them were mesmerizing.still cant decide which one is better.cant get them out of my mind.Four Lead's Jai, Anjali, Sharwanand and Ananya excelled in their roles.Especially Anjali puts up a wonderful performance once again.Jai who plays an innocent youth is the show-stealer.Sharwanand is very apt.Ananya is impressive in a role of a innocent girl who comes form village to city for an interview and trusts no one.I simply adore her role and way it is done.

Director managed to create interest right from the beginning with a very few character's.He did his job very well.He crafted the film to the perfection.The Accident scene which is the dramatic axis of the film, its emotional core is focused on the characters very well.The audience will get the definitive true version of it at the end.Even the Background Sounds during that scene are very engaging n realistic.VFX in that particular scene is worth mentioning.Making That scene play in parts in between the narration and full scene in the climax is a very good attempt.That made interest last till the end.An sweet love story between a boy and girl in the bus and a father who is travelling all the way from dubai to see her daughter for the very first time are very good.

Music in the film is very pleasant and joyful.Though it's a dubbed film lyrics are written very well and they match up with the situations very well."Meghama" "Chitti Chitti" and "Neepere teliyaduga" are my Favorites. "Govida" and "Katha Mugisele" are situational.Background score and Re-recording are very good.

On the flip side :
There is nothing much that i can write negative about this film.Every thing falls in right place.But personally i feel it could had a happy ending unlike the actual Tragedy ending (Half Tragedy Technically as other pair Gautham and Amrutha) as most of Telugu Audience doesn't like sad (and also Realistic) Climax.But that differs for person to person and i believe if an viewer can feel the pain then director succeeded in what he attempted."So Called" happy ending is not always necessary.I think Audience will take it in the same perspective.

Bottom Line : Journey is Sensible film with very sweet love stories and narrated in a more realistic & Captivating way.If you like Heart touching films then make sure "Don't Miss this one"

My Rating : 3.75/5

Mosquito Must Die !

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 14:56:00 +0000

Tiny little creature that makes life of a giant human being hell, really ? if you go by my last night experience.. yes !  These tiny little creatures breed in the dirty water ponds and pits which can be found every where around, thanks to our so called "civilized" citizens. From the eggs that are breed-ed these mosquitoes invade the world outside!  However like someone said, something you may not know is they have the deadliest bite known to man. A shark might bite you in half, lions can tear you limb from limb and a snake can inject you with a toxin that will leave you a quivering mass in minutes. Nevertheless, they just don't have the numbers. More people die every year from the bite of the lowly mosquito than the bites of all other beasts put together.

Why ?
These nasty little insects make buzzing sounds around the ear when i try to sleep after late night study/work .Sometimes I waved my hands vigorously in vain and silly attempts to chase away the hungry things .. if i'am lucky Gotcha !  you are not going back in the air my little foe ! and if i'am not other foe bites off my other hand sucks mouthful of blood leaving an irritating itch.sure it is not most powerful bit that human's can have but its more unexpected in timing and number. And Not to say while driving these things hit straight to face  eww! I remember once we had an electric mosquito swatter bat which is used to kill those mosquito's at home.In one wave many mosquito's would be killed giving out "phat! phat!"   sounds But one fine day these mosquito's even Broken that bat and that day i came to know that these mosquito is stronger that the China's Electric bat !  Some times if we even wave to scare that thing off,it again comes for more.i think either the mosquito is not so clever to understand that this time it will definitely gets a blow if it returns to the same target or the mosquito has more will power and guts to try again and again or even confused about target.I heard somewhere that Mosquito's have some special sensors to detect the scent of the humans and when mosquito gets closer it then uses infrared sensors to detect body heat, in that case they should at least sense the difference in body heat of different targets right ? may be my second reason is right and these things do have guts !

How ?
Instead of using Mosquito Repellents in every home and places you go,these mosquito's must die from the natural causes !  Most of the humans who travel in these pollution environment effected by different types of harmful smokes and gases from vehicles and factories gets effected daily then,why not mosquitoes.. they should die because of these harmful gases.Mosquitoes should die by the effects of the global warming.when so many beautiful birds like sparrow and all are getting instinct by the effects of cellphone waves and radiations why not mosquito's  !  The eggs they lay in the water should be toxicated by the salts and chemicals in water and they should not breed.

In a old telugu film i saw. One of the role Brahmanandham garu played says " 75 kilos maa amma ni oka chinna Eega champinappudu, oka chinna eega ni nenu champakoodada" (which Translates "when an small housefly can kill my mother who weighs 75 kilos the why cant i kill an small housefly" in reply to a priest saying "killing small creatures is a sin")

I think the same logic applies to the mosquito too   so the Mosquito must die !

I Love Rain but *Conditions Apply . . .

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 18:37:00 +0000

So rain... I like rain, I really do! but sometimes I hate it as well. Yes ! There are some practical reasons about this whole Love and Hate scenario. It goes like this ..

I love thundershowers, but i hate drizzling rain. I hate drizzling rain because They are unpredicatble when they would stop and when they would resume. I never know what to do with it. I look stupid if I use an umbrella but if I don't I end up being really wet,aslo I hate to get my hair wet.Stupid drizzling rain.Either give it to me hard, or not give me any at all !

Another thing I don't like about rain: how it wets my clothes and then my clothes starts clinging onto me.Especially socks, because my socks get wet, I'm outside, and I have to be stuck in wet socks and shoes for the whole day.Plain awful. I also don't like how it splashes all over the place when i walk, the back of my leg ends up being all wet. I also don't like how dumb drivers deliberately drive into giant puddles next to you while you walk on the sidewalk, minding your own business, and SPLASH! you've been hit by a giant wave of dirt and brown water.yes ! This happens often in the place where i live. and i dont want to describe the fate of the roads here in our place(Gulbarga).They get damp and slippery when it rains and i have to take every step with caution and it gets worse when two-wheelers start Skidding Sliding,crashing and colliding.

I'm sure I would like rainy days a lot more if I lived in my imaginary land where I can run around in bare feet in the meadow with very soft grass, no bugs, no slippery mud that makes me slip and fall when I step on them by accident, worse yet, random shards of glass... and I don't have to worry about being anywhere or doing anything even if I'm drowning in rain.One more thing I hate about rain is that when it rains here in my place there's power cut.even for a slightest of the drizzle the power is gone and no signs of coming back for long time.I hate it and keep cursing the fate of this place,which is good otherwise.I agree cutting off power during heavy thunder storms if only there might be a problem but for slight drizzle or some times even for some thunder stroms ... Oh man ! are you kidding me ?

The kind of rain i like is that crashes against my window when iam sitting on my sofa,safe under the protection of roof listening to music or watching a movie enjoying my favourite food served hot (muah !) or just going outside with an umbrella sometimes just to hear the raindrops hit my umbrella.Collecting the rain drops with my hand which are pouring slowly from the tips of the umbrella .. Of course, I don't mind getting wet at that time, because I could just walk right back in and change into new and dry and warm clothes whenever I feel like it and then after just still inside and enjoy watching rainbow from my window :)

So it's not that I don't like rain. Its just that i don't like the clinginess of wet clothing and the inconvenience especially when it drizzles unexpectedly and i have some work but cant decide to go ahead or cut the journey imagining the difficulty with the roads.

By the way it;s Raining Drizzles here at my place now .. eww !

I'am Back ...

I know that I haven't been posting in my blog lately. But i have always been in touch with my pals on internet (Thanks to those bunch of social networks esp Facebook).I just got busy in redesigning my other webpage and updating it with content on serious demand.Anyways iam here this time not to post the same old stuff i used to ( more about tech and stuff that fascinated me around the web).But to make my blog more personal thing.I want to make this blog reflect a part of me. Even though i have posted many random topics previously in this same blog from a very long time. But from a few days in fact, there is a part of me that believes it is only beginning ! That may be because this blog of mine as it is a personal blog is missing a version of me and my life .

What's broken, what ain't :

It has been long time since i even visited my blog. in this mean time my blog *.in Domain expired (Oh ! s**t). Now I have to register an new one may be an .com domain this time. www.vinay24k.com sounds good isn't it ? but unfortunately i dont have enough funds at this point of time and my final exams which are just a month away are pulling my legs. so i better continue my blog on the defualt www.vinay24k.blogspot.com domain as of now :)

My blog template seems to be very interesting even after a long time.I even heard it many of my friends. Thats the best part of my blog and so i leave it as it is along with my signature at the end of the post.The say if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it .

If you've noticed I've already removed all the Adsense ads from this blog ! I dont want to display Adverts and Refferal Stuff for personal blog, yeah! so it's no in your face anymore. I will only keep "Firefox" button (updated) as i still support it.

Now you can see an new About me(in short) along with my pic on the sidebar. Thats for the visitors to know me better :) and a twitter widget to show off my recent tweets :p

So from my side there's much more to come in the future.Hopefully i will see you on my other posts :)

Anything For You Ma’m —– An IITian’s Love Story : Review

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 12:19:00 +0000

Anything For You Ma’m —– An IITian’s Love Story is infact written by an young IITian while studying his final year.it's none other than Tushar Raheja - Author of this Novel.So talented he might be to write a novel and get itself published while still he' still Studying and it emerged as a National Best seller.So no wonder not a much book-worm like myself got intrested in reading this novel and finally finished reading it ....

As the cover say's An IITian Love Story.It surely is.but not as in this case not much ha been discussed about the education system,hostel life,professors,campus as Chetan books did.But this story completely different though the guy is from the very same IIT Delhi (As in Chetan Bhagat's Five Point Someone).

Story :
Tejas Narula who is a fun loving guy studying in IIT delhi loves spending time with his loving sisters with whom he shares everything and enjoys playing guitar.One fine day he Falls in love at first sight with one of his Sister's Friend Shreya.he later turns it to a successful two sided one.But the problem is that shreya,his love stays in chennai two thousand and whatever miles away from Tejas who is in delhi.Unfortunately shreya gets caught in front of her dad regarding this love affair.Shreya's dad would definitely not allow her visit to delhi any more. like all the girls dad's would do in that situation.Then Tejas dicides to go to Chennai to meet his love bunking his Industrial tour,faking it to his parents and professors and WHAT NOT ! Tejas lets himself into an Journey of Dangerous yet Exciting Adventure of meeting his love.Tejas experiences in this joureny and what it takes to make it possible is Core of this exciting humourous love story.

My Take :

I started reading this book just a day before and couldn't resist finishing it so quickly.The book was very fast paced with intresting twists and turns,rib tickling humour,games played by Mr.Fate and witty coincidences made the novel an fabulous read.I lost myself in the novel and was shocked to see i finished the complete 230odd pages in just one sit.No wonder it is such a splendid book.The author used very simple language and narrated it with breath taking skills which made me skick to it through out the novel.And not a moment i was out of the book and could not do much but to respond to every situation in the book.I could not stop smiling through out starting from Page 1.There are many situation which made me tense too..So many twists and turns up's and down's.Reader can easily relate to lead characters and get lost in the adrenaline rush of wonderful Journey of Love.The book doesn't contain great literature but it has a great content which makes you to get involve yourself in the plot.

Some situations i like :

The situation where Tejas tries to avoid telling his name fearing that the travel agent would turn up to be his father's patient getting him into trouble and this point is brilliantly linked with the Dr.Prabhakar's coincindene in the later part of the book.
The sweet way of flirting when he first met "shreya" his sisters friend and then get's caught by his sister
Songs that Tejas mentions in between as he say's : "There's a song on my lips for every situation"
The way he explains about his ex-crush Gayatri and the weird name of her dog ... LOL !
Tejas Changing his voice and speaking to Professor "Pappi" as Tejas Father - This is really hilarious i literally got ROFL :)
The way Tejas explained about his adventure of Shortput in his childhod where he ended up throughing shotput on his foot and his rest of childhood incidents - quite a tough nut he is !
Tejas Convencing his brother "Vineeth" for acting as an young business man who is intrested in funding "Biobull" an dream project of professor pappi so that he can be taken of the Industrial Tour.for which his brother reminds him one of the incident for past where he played father of Tejas and got caught - Really Fabulous Scene it is !
The most exciting journey starting from pune to chennai and the coincidences that take place during that till he reaches shreya waiting on the shore of chennai - This is the Best Part of the complete book and my favourite part too ... Each part of this journey is worth a million !

On the flip side :

Description about Vivid wheaters all the time has crosssed it's limits definitely.Gets irritated when the author makes it a habit to describe the wheather every time after a scene change.
Too many coincidences which are hard to believe but those play a main part in creating twists and turns.After all this usually happens in a fully packed bollywod masal flick.so why not in this Extremly intresting masala package.But pratical readers should keep themself away from this book as the coincidenes doesn't go well with extreme practical thinkers ..
The language author used is not a great liturature but is simple plain english which is well suited for fresh readers but for not the serious one's.Atleast with the same kind of content Chetan Bhagat - The best selling authors have made this generation of india to read !

Final verdict : Anything For You Ma’m by Tushar Raheja is a Light Hearted lovestory which is Lovely,Adventurous,witty at times and Hilarius through out ! May not be a good prescription for serious literature hunters but with its adrenaline rush could definitely set the young generation of fresh readers in to roll ! Great attempt by an first timer author.This book truly worth its 100bucks ... Go For It :)

My Ratining : 7.5/10 - Highly Recommended for those who are in Love !

Now Tweet free from mobile in India

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 13:25:00 +0000

Twitter needs no introduction anymore. The sheer popularity speaks for it if not anything else.Well absolutely true! I m using Twitter and i can work on Twitter for hours.I think this addiction can't be controlled by any thing.

Like me many of the twitter users in india want to be in touch bu updating their twwets frequently.this could be only possible by your phone with always GPRS activated in it (not possible) or through SMS.Yeah SMS is the best and Easy go option when compared to GPRS in india.recently Twitter made a deal with Airtel to borrow its netword to send tweets.so now Airtel users in india can send tweets.But what about the Other network users in India ? even for airtel users is it good to spend Rs 1 every time you tweet ? Naah ! Dont worry i will tell you how to tweet absolutly free through sms ...

Here We Go ...
let me introduce an site called SmsTweet which allows you to send and recieve tweets free of cost.A simple service that allows you to tweet using sms in India.No longer depend on your web browser or a twitter client.No need to install any software on your phone or use Internet on your phone. No need to pay premium rates to your network provider.Just send an sms at free of cost or (normal rates for those without national sms packs or out of Mumbai and karnataka) to tweet your thoughts.Yes you can send your tweets absolutly free if you have an National sms free pack (Like Reliance(25rs),Vodafone,Airtel etc..) or you are in mumabi or karnataka.Because the two numbers provided by SmsTweet are of Mumbai and Karnataka as of now which just charge a national sms if you are from out of these circles and or if you are inthese circles you will be charged a local sms cost hich would become free If you have sms Pack.So its better to have National sms pack to Tweet Free from anywhere in India.

First things first :
you have to register in order to ise this service.you can regiter by

1) Send an sms 'REGISTER ' to any of the following nos:

09220092200 (Mumbai)
09243000111 (Bangalore)

Got registed ... then start tweeting
Start tweeting by sending a message, 'TWT ' to any of the following nos:

09220092200 (Mumbai)
09243000111 (Bangalore)

STD charges will apply for smstweet'ers who don't live in the above cities or donot have Special national SMS packs

Reading Updates

You can receive status from your public timeline by just sms'ing TWUP. You can also specify the number of status to receive or the status sent by one of your friend.

TWUP : Returns latest tweet from your timeline. eg. SMS "TWUP" to 9243000111
TWUP : Returns n'th tweet from your timeline. eg. SMS "TWUP 23" will return 23'rd tweet from your timeline. Note that 23'rd tweet is relative to time you sent the message. If an hour later you receive some more tweets, your 23'rd tweet will be different
TWUP : Returns the latest tweet in your timeline from user_name. user_name can either be a full twitter handle of the friend whose tweet you want or a part of it. For example SMS "TWUP smstweetin" to get latest tweet from smstweet. You can save on typing the entire name by typing just a part of the name. For example SMS "TWUP sms" will fetch first tweet from your timeline whose twitter handle matches "sms".

Is this the fate of Team india ?

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:42:00 +0000

The Most Hyped Champions Trophy Has Started a Few Days ago.while all the other teams are busy in making their way ahead in the champions trophy,its Team India which lost all the hope of even qualifing to the semi final's.As india lost its first match against its rivals Pakistan and the Do or Die second match against Australia is washed out, Dhoni's Team India is now almost in a situation to pack their bags and take a return flight.excepct for one reason...They have to watch out the rival's Pak playing against Ausies.If this match turns out in Pak's Favour then india has to work out on its third match with West indies to score a big net run rate(NRR),This way team india has a little hope getting into semis (Hmm..a bit tough though)

Why Always India have to cheer For "other teams to win" in Major tournaments ?
It was the same situation in the world cup 2007 where india lost its early matches and rested its Hope of Poor Burmuda Team(Doesn't it sound Shame less ? ).Not only That purticular situation Team India Got into such situation more than one time.Is this the fate of team india ? why should team india depend on other teams to succeed.This way Team India Going to Become The "World Champions"

Team india have to learn from its mistake atleast from on.If they continue to make this a habbit..they gonna pay for it in the coming tournaments,mainly WC 2011.Dhoni never blamed himself for Loosing a Match - He blames Team for It - whether they may be Fast bowlers,Spinners,Fielders,Batsmen.

Look What Dhoni Saying :

“The Indian fans want us to qualify, so I am sure they will support the Pakistan team”

Disgusting to see Dhoni speak like this,utter shame ,u have failed miserably this time and depend on somebody's win for you to enter finals,this shows nothing but shame !

Not only said the above statement with the press,Even at the toss between India vs West indies match Dhoni was talking about Pakistan and Australia match and hoping pak to win - OMG ! Some one please teach some ethics to Dhoni !

Sony Ericsson K790i Cyber Shot

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 25 May 2009 13:43:00 +0000

Reviewing My Experiences With My New Phone......Every once in a while comes a phone that will want to make you throw or hide your old phone(No Matter How Much Good it Is).The K790i is one such gem of a cell phone which will the send the expletives rolling from your mouth as you initially work your way around the phone.

Looks And Build Quality :
Absolutely clean and uncluttered design. In hardware terms the K790i is not much to look at. Small (105 x 47 x 22 mm)and light (115g) with shades of slate grey and silver and white highlights. The front facing controls are dominated by a small joystick which is one of the better ones Then Those Of Earlier. It is responsive and has plenty of travel. You can program its four directions for specific functions.There are two absolutely tiny buttons to the far left and right of the joystick that need to be approached with a fingernail if you are to hit them accurately. One launches the web browser, the other is the Activity Menu key which contains four tabbed sections: these are more shortcuts to applications, web bookmarks, notifications about missed calls and new messages, and, helpfully the chance to close any running applications that might be slowing the handset down.

The hardware controls are very well thought through. Both softkey buttons and the joystick help you access features and settings quickly, and two further small buttons above the screen give access to more. One of these calls up thumbnail images regardless of what else you are doing with the handset at the time. If you have ever fumbled on a handset for a particular shot to show to a friend you will know how valuable this is. To the back of the handset is the USP of the phone, the camera, which is accessed by sliding a cover. Also present is a xenon flash which is nice and effective.

Camera :
K790i Is Packed With All New 3.2 Mp With Cyber Shot Technology.What's More.....It Can Take Pictures Crystal Clear (Even from a Moving Train.I Bet ! ! !).It Has Two Flashes.One Is The Normal Flash which Is Bright.And The Special Xenon Flash Which Makes A Clear Pic Possible Even in Point Black....I Will Post Sample Pics Taken By My Phone.You Gonna Agree with me...He He He !This Feature Makes Me Proud To Present My Phone In Public.Almost Every one Who Checked out my Phone Were Impressed By Its Mindblowing Camera.

Battery Life :

Absolutely good(Li-Po 900 mAh ) .Talk time is a good 7hrs and you can play MP3s continuously for around 11hrs. So looking at a real world scenario(around an hour of talking, 2 hours of music playback, and some shots with the camera), The battery offers me juice for up to 2 days without the phone needing a dash to the mains.

Connectivity :
Connectivity options greet you on the K790i, They Are GPRS Class 10, EDGE, HSCSD, Bluetooth v2, Infrared and USB 2.0. So you are never probably gonna have a problem connecting to the world.The Net In This Phone Is Very Fast When Compared to Any of its Competing Models.I End Up Sitting Hours Togeather On Net in My Phone With Out Any Stress......Cool Na

Music Playback :

This is a SE phone, so you be forgiven to take for granted the fact that the phone is gonna be a good music player. And it does not disappoint. We plugged in the SE W810i earphones and I have to say, it has to be one of the best sounding phones around. Good enough whilst travelling anyway.Loud Speaker Is Low Compares to those Of Walkman Phones.

And oh, there is an FM player as well. Thank you very much.Now Entertainment Has No Bounds......

Affiramtive ! ! !

+Great Camera!

+Nice and fast interface

+Good large screen and resolution

+Good looks

+Good battery life

+Functional In built applications

Negative :

- Low Loud Speaker (It Can be Fixed By Software Replacement available Online)

Conclusion :

A great buy at the current price (11,000 INR). Its got just about everything I need and I am happy soul buying it. Apart from the camera, there are loads of other nifty features that'll seal the deal.

Pharm.D In India - 2008-09

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 25 May 2009 13:35:00 +0000

The Pharm D is Meant for creating practising pharmacists and is similar to a programme in the United States. It was akin to Doctor of Medicine (MD) for doctors and Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) for dentists. The Pharm D was different in its course content from the undergraduate B. Pharm and the postgraduate M Pharma courses. The conventional B. Pharm was an all-embracing course with footprints in the industry, teaching, research and community pharmacy. However, it was more oriented towards pharmaceutical industry than clinical practice.

Although B. Pharm graduates could easily fit into the scheme of things in the industry, they could not find adequate opportunities in clinical pharmacy. This lacuna would be fulfilled by the Pharm D programme.Hitherto, the four-year programme was not recognised in Western countries, severely affecting the job opportunities for Indian Pharmacy graduates.So PCI I Starting 6 Year Pharm.D Course Which Will Be Accepted Abroad.Students who have passed Intermediate with Bipc/MPC or D.
