An appeal to girlfriends of Friends

With so many people getting committed these days at college and there being no preamble whatsover upon how to deal with a friends who’ve just discovered the joy of taking the plunge, I thought upon at least making our ‘the glorious loners‘ voice heard.

Friendship and Love

So, here’s an appeal from a simpleton to all those girls who either have a boyfriend or are going to have one. I am not going to ask you much, just a lil bit here and a lil bit there to clear up any mess. Let’s start.

The point of Exams

This is a letter to the Hon’ble Minister of Human Resources and Development, Mr.Kapil Sibal. There’s around 99.99% probability that he would never hear of this letter, but who knows ;) Anyway, before we start here’s the wise man whom I’m writing this to.

Kapil Sibal

Dear Mr.Kapil Sibal,
I know you have never seen me. But I’ve seen you a lot of times ( in TV, of course :P ). I love a lot of things about our country, but I hate a lot of things too. Now, You … You are doing good sir. Very good to be frank. Perhaps it’s that you are ready to change, not for change’s sake but for progress’s sake that makes me write to you or it’s something else, but I’m not sure.

Finding time

Been getting very busy with all the heavy work and responsibilities that I needed to do and take up ;) But it’s really fun. Strangely though my online social life is getting victimized and the fact is I like it. It feels good to not go through meaningless pokes, ‘I punch, U punch’ and god-knows what kind of quiz challenges from my dear friends. Perhaps, Fb and Orkut are more of spam than the 4218 spam comments I’ve had to tackle recently.

Facebook sucks

Thinking about the Animator vs. Animation

When I was surfing as usual before the semester exams, I came across this wonderful animation Animator vs. Animation by Alan Becker. The undermining struggle behind every creation is epitomized in this so beautifully, that it got me thinking a lot, and I mean a lot.

You know, every time man claims he has conquered nature, the bounds we have reached astonishes everyone. Take for example, the Palm Island,Dubai. When, I was a small boy I always wanted to create an island in the sea, simply by dumping enough sand in the ocean. It has to rise up eventually, right ? Imagine, my great surprise when I actually found those rich sheikhs in Dubai had not only done it, but made millions out of it. :P

Does Obama deserve the Nobel ? Now ?

The 44th President of United States Barack Obama has just recieved the Nobel Prize for Peace for 2009, to quote the comittee’s words

“for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”

Barack Obama

The intention of the Peace Prize as described in Nobel’s will, was to award “the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”. :???: Now, has Obama said he will do all that ? Yes. But has he done all that ? NO. So, why did they give it to him ?

The Bird vs. the Bar

Today, We’ll compare two favourite programs of mine. Namely, Songbird and Foobar. Both are wonderful music library players and organizers.  As a person I never really liked sites that gave lot of stats but never gave me which one actually performs well.
I’ve roamed around so much time for a music player that fits me and am still searching. From amarok, iTunes, WMP, Winamp to Mediamonkey and Jaangle I’ve tried them all. Over time these two players still stay at my system.

The Ground rules :

  • My music library is around 14 GB, mostly mp3′s, a couple of wma’s and aac’s.
  • The PC is tested is on Win 7, Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM.
