(5+5) is

I have decided never to talk about my work, research or projects on my blog. I mean they are the stuff you want to take a break from and here you are discussing them too. I can talk about the incidents that may have happened during class/research/project but not ABOUT them. Talking about academics, 5+5 is ............... Ten-is (- means n egative ... hehe .... this was a sadela PJ, I know). Now, I love playing Tennis but I was brought down to reality when I realised I don't play good. I play worse. My serves are slow and mostly double faults and I don't have enough stamina. I could back down but HELL NO!!! I bought a tennis racket already and I am going to make sure that it gets its right to play. My racket will be my inspiration until I really break it down in utter frustration. I am in complete control over myself but unfortunately not on the tennis ball. I need a player who is worse than me to make sure I win at least one set and boost my confidence. Newbies, anyone for ...

Chinku'd

... Chinaman - Hangout place in Matunga Crowd: Ruia College, Podar College and Vesit's Cell Group Editied version of a review posted on a website www.mouthshut.com Interiors: Less space, Congestion. Well, good for people who come with chics. Why do you its such a popular hangout place? Kitchen:(3 cooks) Kitchen area is very dirty. Chopped vegetables brought in dirty gunny bags. Half the tiles damaged vegetables and rice kept open. Well, we do need some junk in our body. How else can you survive in Mumbai? Service: Waiters attend customers only when they are called several times. Cuz this place is always crowded ... Water served only when asked. Who drinks water anyways ? Waiters dip their fingers while serving it. Haha ... Serves you right ! Only 1 menu card given “per table” irrespective number of customers. Menu card? Don't you have your favorites? Order taken after 7 minutes. Actually, its 16 minutes. Cold drinks served wit...

Chinku Khayega (Eat Chinese) ?

... Eating chinese in US and in India is totally different; we use spoons or maybe, if you are lucky, forks in India but in US, its with the fork or chopsticks. Big food chains handle Chinese restaurants in the US but in India, the stalls ( bakdewala ) makes the best. Dirt cheap rates at the stall .... prices in cents but the quality was also same. Our motto - take in the regular doses of this junk; that saves you from getting infected though. And trust me, it works ! I haven't had proper Chinese meal for a long time now. There's a grocery store nearby who sells frozen chinese food. Tried there once but it doesn't even taste like the roadside junk. I hope to go to Anderson someday and try out Chinese at Grand China - heard they r good. And why did I come up with this topic ? Because. Chinese is one of my favorite food; a chinese joint (Chinaman) used to be our favorite past-time during my undergraduate studies; and I used to get Free home delivery anytime from my nei...

Aajkal ki taaza khabare

... aajkal aakaal ne apna dhyan kissi aur disha mein kar diya hai. Hamare khaas sutro ke anusaar aakaal ne apne ilake mein khaane ki har cheej ko saaf karke rakha hai. sutro ka yeh bhi maanana hai ki wo ab likhai ki samagri ko nishana banaya hai. Kal tak jab aakal dikhai deta tha to khaana gayab hota tha; abto pen, pencil bhi gayab hone lagi hai. aaj hamne pramod se interview liya tha to unhone bhi kaha ki unki pen gayab ho gayi hai. Hamare paas thos saboot nahi hai ki iske peeche aakaal ka haath ho. Lekin lagta hai aakaal ne yeh maha-attack shuru kia hai ...... aur abhi abhi hame khabar milli hai ki jardan ki kissi ek lab mein aakaal ne pen shodhan chalu ki hai ....... agar aisa hi chalte raha, to clemson ko aakalistan ka naam dena padega .....

Nothingology

"Nothing! Absolutely Nothing!" "And you think it will work?" "Ofcourse, everybody makes on something, why not make on nothing?" "You know, maybe you are right. Lets make on nothing." - From the hit comedy 'Seinfeld' (one of my favorites) And thats what I feel my blogs are going to be. About Nothing.
