Birds of a feather flock together and shit on your car.

Raising teenagers is like trying to nail Jell-O to a tree.

There’s always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don’t hurt.

If you can remain calm, you don’t have all the facts.

Eat a live toad first thing in the morning, and nothing worse can happen to you the rest of the day.

Follow your dream! Unless it’s the one where you’re at work in your underwear during a fire drill.

Always take time to stop and smell the roses and sooner or later, you’ll inhale a bee.

If you don’t like my driving, don’t call anyone. Just take another road. That’s why the highway department made so many of them.

If a motorist cuts you off, just turn the other cheek. Nothing gets the message across like a good mooning.

When I’m feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor’s dog run to the end of his chain and gag himself.

It’s always darkest before the dawn. So if you’re going to steal the neighbor’s newspaper, that’s the time to do it.

A handy telephone tip: Keep a small chalkboard near the phone. That way, when a salesman calls, you can hold the receiver up to it and run your fingernails across it until he hangs up.

Into every life some rain must fall. Usually when your car windows are down.

Just remember: You gotta break some eggs to make a real mess on the neighbor’s car!

When you find yourself getting irritated with someone, try to remember that all men are brothers and just give them a noogie.

This morning I woke up to the unmistakable scent of pigs in a blanket. That’s the price you pay for letting the relatives stay over.

It’s a small world. So you gotta use your elbows a lot.

Keep your nose to the grindstone and your shoulder to the wheel. It’s a lot cheaper than plastic surgery.

This land is your land. This land is my land. So stay on your land.

Love is like a roller coaster: When it’s good you don’t want to get off, and when it isn’t, you can’t wait to throw up.

Go ahead and take risks. Just be sure that everything will turn out okay.

If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

Don’t assume malice for what stupidity can explain.

Crush or Flush is an incredibly fresh dating service which allows you to meet people…

Ofcourse so what is fresh about it? Almost every other site boasts of incerdible success  and publishes testimonials of a couple of users to support their statement. Well the fact is that most of the times the people published in the testimonials are the only ones who ever find a flame on the site. Most of the profiles are fakes and many others belong to people who check their accounts once in five blue moons.

Crush or Flush is different.IT lets people enter their mobile numbers and keeps them updated and even allows them to message their ‘crushes’ by their mobiles.

A person can browse through various profiles and select whether he would like to get in touch with the profile owner(crush) or reject him/her(flush). In case the profile is flushed, the owner is not notified to avoid hard feelings. But if there is a crush, the profile owner will be immediately notified via text(if he /she has provided her mobile number) and can chose chat with the person or flush him. In fact they can chat via text too if they want but their mobile numbers are never disclosed to each other unless they themselves chose to do so…

It is an absolutely safe, reliable and effective way of meeting new people

The latest beta version of the popular chat client Yahoo Messenger was released yesterday and I installed it right away only to be hugely dissappointed

I had expected this release to pack in some more features along with a new interface which would be more refreshing and soothing. My second wish was fulfilled but only partialy as Yahoo did revamp the interface completely but to make it even worse than some of its ancient versions.The colour combination was terrible and the themes provided changed only the title bar and the color theme rather than whole look of the messenger window.

This version doesn’t add any new features I could find except for a new feature called “Forward offline PMs” which was not available in previous versions but nothing pretty significant.Also when this version is installed it resets many of your settings to default but thankfully I had my archive intact.One good thing that this version does is quicker sign-in, hence reducing the time to sign-in by a appreciable margin.

Hence not much has changed in this version except the interface which is to say the least intolerable and it forced me to uninstall this version right away and shift back to version 8.1.0.421 which seemed pretty refreshing! I would say save you time and resources and forget about this version and hope that Yahoo releases a much much better final version of 9.0.

These are some of the mistakes that raise a lot of unanswerable questions in Harry Potter:

Time Turner: Well, playing with time has been a little too hot. In book 3 Harry, Hermoine, and Ron change their past and save BuckBeak and Sirius. Now if time could be turned so easily, why doesn’t the ministry ever use it to probably revive its dead minister or correct their mistakes. And why does Voldermort run after elder wand if he could much more easily procure a time turner and have fun(wonder what all he could change with that thing…he could revive his horcruxes and avoid killing Lily Potter before Harry among other things).

Time is a really sensitive thing. Physicists say you can go back in time alright. But then its not like you could go anywhere in time and save your dead mom from dying. When you do go back in the past, the moment you enter the past, the timeline will split. So suppose you go back to 10:22 PM of Nov 1 2004. Timeline would split and there will be two futures(to Nov 1 2004): one with you in it and the other would continue as if you had never come (this would be the future you were in earlier). Now the first one would have two yous: the past you i.e. the you that you were on Nov 1 04 and the other would be you yourself.

In this past world, you are just another person. Even if you kill the past you, it would not affect you, contrary to what you might have learned to believe.

So in the new future that you create, you are just another extra person and the future you create…if you save your dying mom, she lives only for you in your timeline. Your mom would still die in the other timeline. So you don’t really change anything, just create an ideal world. Infact in this world, you might as well be treated as a duplicate to the past you

So in a way, JK Rowling’s interpretation of time changing is incorrect…

Owls: So  you can send an owl to anyone and that owl will find it no matter where he or she is. Then why can’t the ministry send an owl to Voldermort and trace its path. Agreed it would violate his privacy, but he is a criminal damnit…So what have you got to say to that Miss Rowling

The paper was tougher compared to last year. Cutoffs might go down a bit. But u need above 200 for a good rank(above 10000)… If you have >120, you could expect central counselling but below 100 you are in your state’s hand

It is obvious that without computers we would find our life extremely difficult, maybe even impossible. If they disappeared for just one day, would we be able to cope?

Be part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the Internet. The idea behind Shutdown Day is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate!

Shutdown your computer on 03 May 2008 and find out!

When we are children and have to go to school, most of us dream of the day it will all be over and we will be like our fathers who can go out anytime we want and are not babysitted by moms.
Gradually as we grow up and enter adolescense, we don’t want to let go of the adolescense days as we begin to realize these are the best days of our life…

After this stage, most of us assume an unnatural sense of responsibility and manhood(or womanhood not to be sexist). When small little things like a game of truth or dare seems to be too childish, forget about antakshari. Why this change creeps in, I have never been able to comprehend. I mean when we are in school, everyone wants to have fun… make a friend propose to the Mc D’s counter guy.

But in college, these little game cease to have any meaning at all. They are just meaningless annoying little gigs that are meant for children. Antakshari that we all would rather play every week with friends also becomes a stupid timepass. Also in many places, people take to spending time with their mates…and I mean hours and hours every day, seperate from all their other friends as if it is so important for their existence and friends don’t really mean anything

Apart from everything else, it really takes the fun out of life…I mean comon if everone keeps going around with their girls, friends will cease to have importance…

Guys, let us not mature too fast for heaven’s sake

Just as a news update. The WBJEE exam which was due for today has been postponed due to leakage of question papers.

It is interesting to see that the papers got leaked but not surprising when even CAT papers and IITJEE papers have gotten leaked before. The new date though undeclared is unlikely to take place in the next three weeks.

So how will this affect the students? Well this can be analyzed by dividing students into three groups: One who have studied yearlong and are well prepared, another who woke up just a month or so ago and the third who haven’t really done any studying.

The first group will suffer from this because the delay will give a lot of time to the second group to prepare so it will increase competition. The second group stands to win as their ranks will shoot up. The third group may benefit but slightly…

Whether this delay will benefit you or not all depends on which side you are on and cannot be spoken in general

About the leakage, many students are wondering why the other two sets  of question papers(WBJEE prints two extra sets of questions just in case) not sent for the examination. Wel this is because the leak was only discovered yesterday hence it is impossible to co-ordinate the sending of question papers to all 190 centers in the state amd 3 outside on such a short notice. Besides its a good idea to investigate how the papers got leaked so that unmerititious people do not get into the merit list.
