An Internet Love Affair

I Googled you until I found you
On Myspace
Your life laid open, bare for me
To explore
Pictures, quotes, all your dreams and hopes
You had the same smile that I remembered from
So long ago
Ages past when we were desperately in love
Now we are just trapped in the cycle of our lives
Each probing, exploring the other
Wondering what has happened in the time that has passed
Never to be recaptured again
We chat, we laugh, we commiserate
Each of looking for the opening
Wondering if fate has brought us together for something more than an
Internet Love Affair.

Just happened to stumble upon this lovely satire on writing.com.

IE Foxed !!

Well, since I have been on Internet Explorer bashing mood and promoting Mozilla FireFox a lot, these days, I thought it'd be interesting, sharing the above pic with you. Do leave a comment, if you feel like!

Divert You Course...!!

This is the actual radio conversation of a US Naval Ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. Radio conversation released by the chief of naval operations, 10-10-95.

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the captain of a US Navy Ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: This is the Aircraft Carrier US LINCOLN, the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied by three Destroyers, thre Cruisers and numerous support vessels. I DEMAND that you change your course 15 degrees north. I say again, that's one-five degrees north, or counter measures shall be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

Canadians: This is a Light House. Your call now.

Me - The Eccentric..!!!

Hmm...trust me, it's no microscopic pic of Spirogyra and neither is it Volvox algae. Coming to layman terms, it's actually just a small plant in my house that I'd clicked with the cam's lense all buried into the leaves, switched off all the surrounding lights and got the night vision on. And well, here's the final effect for you..!!

I'm sure it's a bit easy for you to guess. Yup, they're the pins, all stuck into my stapler. Don't ask me, even I don't know how the idea suddenly struck me :-p !!

I just hope you don't cringe when I tell you what this one actually is :-) It's actually the drain mouth of my bathroom's sink!! LoL...!!!

This one's pretty simple. It's just the torch of my mobile, NOKIA 1108!!!!

Nah...this is no hill station...just a par of this year's Indian Railways Time Table. HeHe...I'm sure I got you on that..!!!

Okay, I won't say what this one is. I leave it on to you to figure it out. (Seriously, I'm just tryin to encourage you to leave something in my page after you go through it. Even a simple word of appreciation soars my adrenaline level sky high!)

This is no Canine's teeth, just the teeth of one of hundreds of humble air clips that belong to Ma! ;-)

And now...the best for the last! I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on what this one actually is, do I??

My Love..!!

Hmm...the other day I was just looking at this vase when it suddenly made me remember those preteen years of mine. I still remember it pretty vividly. I was in 7th standard then. I had enrolled myself for the elementary grade state level drawing exam. Alongwith me were two of my best friends, Swapnil Patwa & Arpa Mukhopadhyay. After our class got over, Swapnil asked me to leave with him, but since Arpa had some work in the school, I lied that I had to meet some other teacher and left behind. Now, I wasn't in love with Arpa. Afterall, it was just the time when people start taking interest in the opposite sex. I just liked her & always used to try to be with her as much as I could. Okay okay, I was just infatuated with her. Anyways, while I was waiting for Arpa to return, I just had to pass time. I was scourging my bag when I suddenly found a card Dad had gotten from some colleague. I just took it out, took out my brush and the black chinese ink I had and started to paint. Seriously, I didn't even know how the bloody time passed away. It took me around an hour to finish the painting to my satisfaction and finally, there it was, the very same one you can see above!

Andyou wanna know something else? When I actually returned to my senses...I realised Arpa was long gone! And that very incident made me realise how much I loved to draw. HeHe..!! However, although I did coninue painting till my 10th grade...even organised exhibitions & sales...but had to finally leave it due to time shortage & my new found love in computers!! Welcome to modern age, folks!!!

Freshers '06

Wow...what an awesome time I had last night. It was the Freshers' Night for the Mattus (folks from Maharashtra). The Freshers' Night is actually just a gathering of all the students hailing from the same state of the country, comprising students from every batch, at a same arena where the folks of the latest batch are welcome in the college by the rest. People just have loads of food, booze, smoke & yeah, how could I dare leave out the fun part? It was the chance for the guys who'd gotten admission in 2005. Yeah, I know it's a bit late, but that's how the tradition goes. All this free food for the juniors is not for nothing. According to the traditions, it's also a sort of compensation for the freshers who normally had to endure a lot of mind-licking and days of work and also sometimes a few whacks in their butts (in other words, ragging) all through their first semester. Although the hardcore ragging part is almost obsolete in most of the colleges in the country, the Freshers concept still prevails 'coz it's also a channel for enjoyment and fun for the students, once in a year.

Here are some of the pics from last nights blast. For details about the respective pics, just hover your mouse on them.

Well, here I've just posted the group photos of all the four current batches. But if you're interested to chack out the rest of 100s of pics taken on the night, just check out My Photos and I'm sure your thirst shall be quenched more than adequately!

And yeah, how could I even forget? If you think just still pictures aren't enough for you, just check out the 10 clips I've saved on MegaUpload for you to check out. Just in case you haven't used their feature before, since you're obviously an unpaid member, they'll make you waita few seconds till you actually get the link to download the clips. The link shall be given at the top right corner of the new page that opens up. So, just don't panic if you see a countdown timer running or if you can't find the download button. The button shall surely be there, you shall just have to be a li'l careful, that is all!
