DPS MUN 2006
So, another event is now officially over for me.. apart from exun that is
Our school has been organising DPS MUN since 2004 and I have participated in it since the same year, though I went for just one day in 2004.
My contribution in MUN has essentially involved providing Tech Support. Along with Dhruv, I have a lot of "masti" at MUN.
This year initially I had decided that I would be part of the conference and not just support staff and was very serious about the simulation and training programme but somewhere along the way lost interest. So anyways, I was USG for Information and Computer Services. Or CIS as Dhruv likes to call it.
We had a total of 7 people for CIS this year-
1. G
2. Dhruv
3. RG - Hes da man
4. Manas G
5. Kartikeya Ashthana
6. Sahil Bajaj
7. Kanika Singh
The first day was rather boring for us, as we got no work. Oh by the way, our work mostly includes typing out the draft resolutions for the delegates and providing any other kind of tech support required. So, the first day was mostly spent playing games on Sid's and RG's laptops. Sid has the PowerBook by the way(its a mac, dont ask). The highlights of the first day were-
1. RG's "mun"walk. Hes da man
2. Nobody recognizing me coz I was wearing a suit with a senior turban as Vibhu calls it. That was fun.
3. Mrs. Chona checking on us in the Business Center. Aashish Manchanda was playing Tribes 2 on RG's laptop when she opened the door to our room(Yes, we even had our own separate room) and Manchanda still did not realise. She saw him playing and commented, "Taking a break, eh". Yes, a break at 11:00 in the morning and the conference had just started at 1030.
4. OO.. and I totally forgot to mention. RG had a killer look. He came in a Black Scorpio(He rides in Style) with black tints, a black suit, completely set hair. and best of all, Black Shades. Total Mafia look.
Day 2 was a little bit better as we had some work to do. But, the delegates have horrible handwriting so it took us a while to understand what they had written in their resolutions. There was one such case where "drug" resembled "dung". Anyways, Our room got even cooler by Day 2. We decided to turn of the lights and I had my supercool JBL iPod speakers. We turned it into a mini theater. And of course, we played. By day 2, I got very good at Carmageddon. We smuggled 2 bottles of coke into our room coz the coke at IHC is too blaady expensive. Not a big deal, but the whole idea was just funny.
Day 3.
Again there wasnt too much work involved coz it was the last day, and most of the committees were trying their best to finish the topics. Dhruv, me and Adarsh had breakfast at All American Diner(AAD). My Chilli Dog was good. Dhruv's Chilli Double Burger was good. Adarsh's Vegetable Hoagie was a waste of money. And then after one hour Adarsh says,"Actually, it was good".
Anyways, Our MUN closing ceremony video didnt play coz well.. it didnt.
The closing ceremony was fine.
Tanya Puri won best delegate. Probably the only one from our school.
In kartikeya's words,"Humare school ka katta ho gayi".
And by the end of MUN kartikeya was just drunk.
MUN was the funnest ever this year specially coz we had fun people in CIS.
Other things at MUN this year include -
1. Dhruv putting a used Duracell battery in a glass of water
2. Ankit Srivastava not knowing where Cuba is. And then we made him believe that Cigar is the official currency of Cube. Basically, he said a lot of stupid stuff. But hes got the spirit to take it as a joke!
3. Our very intellectual conversation about Button Flys(Flies) vs Zippers.
I cant remember anything else right now

The Best Day of My Life
So it was a Sunday yesterday, and it was probably the best day of my life
Most people spend their sundays sleeping and getting up late and probably chill out.
However, For the past one and a half years my Sundays include me getting up early and going to FIITJEE and coming back only 10 hours later, exhausted. And on top of all that, I have to study for the Monday Test as well. Anyways, I am rather glad that phase is over but nevertheless the FIITJEE have scheduled tests every alternate saturday till the end of april.
It's still fine.
So why was it the best day of my life?
Well I saw the Bentley Continental GT. On Road. In New Delhi. And it was White.
It was so cool. It wasnt going at a very high speed but the sound of the engine was so coooooll.. the grunt.
And thats not at all. While I was going back from the FIITJEE test. I saw another very cool car.
This time it was a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo(pronounced Gay-ardo). And cool it was.. The sound of the engine was better this time. But the problem is the guy couldnt go too fast. The car was begging for more.
OK so I have this pair of Tommy Jeans. It's good and its got the vintage look and everything. Theres this one thing I dont like at all. Button Fly.
What is the point of having a Button Fly?. What if someone really has to go, he/she probably will never be able to open those buttons in time hence.
The zippers always good

TCS IT Wiz 2006
The TCS IT Wiz Quiz Competition was held for the first time in Delhi this year. More than 400 teams from schools in and around Delhi participated in the event. Three teams from school had participated, which are equally good but sadly only one team could qualify per school. And as a matter of fact, I have a feeling that only one team from all Delhi Public Schools qualified for the finals.
Let me introduce that team for you
1. Gursartaj Singh Nijjar
2. Dhruv Kumar
And now let me also introduce the winner of the award for the most stupid person on Earth
1. Dhruv Kumar
Dhruv Kumar conveniently decided to go home since the results were taking too much time. And when our team qualified I was left with no other choice but to go on stage alone.
The Quizmaster was Mr. Giri "PickBrain" Subramaniam. He was a fine chap except when it came to cracking jokes.
The preliminary round consisted of 20 questions which were quite simple according to many of the regular quizzers, and we later found out that all the finalists were separated by just 1 point.
Then, it was time for the finals. 6 teams qualified to battle it out on stage-
1. Amity International, Gurgaon
2. Mother's International School
3. Sardar Patel Vidyalaya
4. Amity International, Saket
5. Apeejay, Noida
6. DPS, RKP!!!!!
I will again remind that Dhruv had decided to ditch me. Dhruv is in trouble. Period.
The quiz had 6 rounds, three of them being buzzer rounds.
The first two rounds were a bit of a letdown with our team scoring just 20 points and MIS and Sardar Patel getting way ahead of us. The "Lone Warrior"(thats what the quizmaster decided to call me) was in third position practically throughout the quiz. And well, that was the case almost till the end of the quiz. But a quiz is never over till the last question and thats exactly what happened.
It was the last round, 2 questions left. Tension was thick. Blood Pressure High.
Sardar Patel 70
MIS 50
RKP 35
It was a buzzer round, with each question worth 15 points but it was -10 if you got it wrong
The question is on the screen, the tension is too much. The lone warrior presses the buzzer and answers only to be greeted by a very surprised look on Pickbrain's face almost killing the lone warrior. However, the surprised look was overpowered by the applause of the audience as the lone warrior was right.
MIS 50
RKP 50
So close.
The competition between MIS and RKP now.
The question is again on the screen. The lone warrior doesnt wait for the Pickbrain, presses the buzzer, pauses for a second and answers. The pickbrain tries the trick with the surprised look again. But alas, the lone warrior knows he is right and the audience just goes into fits of overwhelmed applause. The lone warrior has done it. He does it for DPS RKP.
DPS RKP manage second position and the final score was 65, just 5 points behind Sardar Patel and thus missing the national finals at Mumbai.
But wait, it wasnt over yet. The Pickbrain and everyone from TCS are just flabbergasted and they have no words for the Lone Warrior.
The Lone Warrior is declared as the "Gladiator of IT Quizzing of Delhi".. *takes a bow*
Plus, I will be flying to Mumbai to witness the Finals and probably have dinner with the CEO of TCS, Mr. Ramodorai(I dont know the spelling)
And I forgot about the prizes.
We received
1. iPod Nano 2 GB
2. Tata Indicom Mobile Connection
3. A Titan Fastrack Watch
4. And lots of other Goodiess..
I hope next year, our team qualifies and both the participants are present on stage and they win the regional finals and then win the National Finals as well.
Till then

Hello
This is something i found funny.
Early morning during homeroom, children were made to stand as they did not have ties.
There was this one guy in particular who did not have a tie and the whiteness of his shirt was opposite to the whiteness of his trousers.
Mr. Mohit Dey: Varun Vasudevan, ghar mein tide hai?
Varun Vasudevan: Sir, tie?
MD: Tide.
VV: Tie?
MD: abey T-I-D-E!
VV: achhhaaa.. haan sir hai.
MD: toh phir kapde dho le na.. nahin toh yellow ho jayenge.
2. Due to the protests against the sealings, theres a lot going on in Delhi. I was going around telling people that whole of Delhi is on fire.
Gursartaj: Delhi is on fire.
Adarsh Ramakrishnan: I didnt do it

Anniversary
Hello friends.
It has been a long time since I posted something textual.
Anyways
It has been a year for our french trip.
Everything is still fresh in my brain as I think about it.
365 days ago, at this very moment, we were loitering in Angouleme shouting and screaming and singing and racing through the streets. Siddharth managed to screw up my camera but it was ok. The day we went for the concert and had to sit outside because the music was horrible. The day I saved abhinaya from Thibault. The day my temporary bronchitis started off after taking in too much smoke. The day we went bowling. The day we also played video games in which I clearly beat Siddharth. The day I consumed a good quantity of Pate.
The day shall not be forgotten, at least for now

The Tribune, Saturday, 1st April 2006
The following was an article published in Saturday Extra, written by Khushwant Singh
It’s all gas
Scholars pick up odd subjects for research; the oddest Ihave ever heard of is the incidence of flatulence:what causes it; what are its constituents and risks involved in exposing oneself to it.
One such field survey has been recently carried out, appropriately in the region popularly called the underside of the earth — Australia and New Zealand.
Breaking wind or farting as it is commonly known is too delicate a subject to be discussed in polite society.
Nevertheless, our Sanskrit-speaking ancestors drew up a list of their varieties from Uttam padvi (the best kind) to Gupt daan (silent, stinking gift). Arabs regarded it as a social sin and ostracised men and women who did it in public.
On the other hand, there was a Frenchman who made his living blowing off a candle from a foot’s distance by a violent expulsion of wind from his derriere.
A newspaper clipping from an Australian daily sent to me by a friend living there summarises his findings. Both men and women break wind on an average of 14 times in 24 hours; wind-producing foods include beans, cabbage, cheese, eggs and fizzy drinks; a fart comprises 59 per cent nitrogen, 20 per cent hydrogen, 9 per cent carbondioxide 7 per cent methane and 4 per cent oxygen. They can travel at a speed of three metres per second. What makes some farts stink is hydrogen sulphide which contains sulphur and is less than 1 per cent of its constituents. It is believed to be inflammable. Research scholars are testing it by putting match sticks close to their ends to see it is correct. Setting one’s bum on fire is a small price to pay for discovering the truth.

drowning ipods
Well Hello again
Like I mentioned in one of my previous posts, Mornings in school tend towards being interesting(Limt morning --> interesting). There was a certain very stupid girl(reason shall be understood later) who was talking to Mohit about her ipod in the morning today. At first I thought she was just like any other person taking Tech Support from Mohit but he later explained that she had managed to put her ipod down the toilet.
I am not saying that ipods are bad, they are very good, then why put them in the toilet. And HOW?. How did she manage to put it down there. Well as Mohit later explained, she had put it on the water container(the one used to store water to flush), and it slid down into the toilet bowl. Then she calls him up to ask him what to do. WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR IPOD FALLS IN THE TOILET. get a bloody plastic bag, put it over your hand, and take the fugger out. What else?.
Next, Mohit told her to keep it under a heat source and let it dry in the hope that it will work. Well, her ipod didnt work. HELLOOO!!!.. even if the ipod survived drowning in the water, it probably did not survive the shit bacteria in there.
Anyways, this conversation was followed by a detailed discussion over drowned electronics' items. Mohit, has had many such experiences(but nothing went down there!) and each time his things worked. Fortunately, I take care of things like this and nothing of the sort has happened to me. Though I do remember someone telling me about his cellphone. His cellphone got wet, and he put it in the microwave to dry. Smart thinking my friend. End result, his cellphone blew up.

First and foremost, I would like to announce that I have officially passed class 11 and I think I am second in my class or something like that but who cares. I have passed with decent marks, that is all I will say about them.
Class 12, is very much like class 10, for a very simple reason that it is the board year and teachers just want to teach from first day onwards as they dont want to waste any time. I am not against that but nobody teaches on the first day, you are supposed to have the usual introductions. Not fair.
My Teachers:-

My Teachers:-
- Class Teacher- Mr. Mohit Dey- Also the Computer Teacher
As Siddhanth would have put it, "Dude hai yaar". Mohit Sir is a pretty cool teacher. Firstly, you get lots of free periods. He has a certain weekly target to achieve and if that target is achieved, you get free periods. Secondly, he can answer practically any question you put towards him, which basically means that he knows the subject well. Thirdly, He always understands when you tell him that you have to go to the Egurufool Lab. - English- Take a Wild guess????..
Yup, Ms. Vanita Sehgal
Description- LOL - Maths- Mr. Tijo Jacob
He is also like Mohit Sir, always in a cool mood. His maths classes are fairly interesting as compared to last year when a maths period meant third degree torture. I have a feeling maths is going to be interesting this year - Chemistry- Mr. S. Sharma
I think his first name is Sachinder, but we have been told to call him Mr. S. Sharma as he doesnt like people playing with his name. Chemistry tends to be boring at times - Physics- Ms. Vandana Marwah
Today was the first class, cant say much about it.

Gay movies, Oscars, swallowing flies, etc...
Hello friends
Mornings before exams are exceptionally interesting, there is noise all around but its the kind of noise which can be compared to silence, silence before something big, like the lull before the storm. Everybody is studying, except for a few. I have this policy of not studying right till the point the exam does not begin and hence I can be seen with an issue of TopGear in my hand when everybody has a big fat Pradeep's. The above-mentioned few include me, Dhruv, and a few others.
Today we had english, and I dont think you need to study for that right before your exam. Its a good thing that we now get a preparatory leave for English, cause one can sit back, relax and play games. I, for one, started my course at around 3:00 PM, was done by around 8:30. Yes, that is long, but yea well, I take my time.
Anyways, the morning was fun today as we were talking about the Oscars. Since I dont get any Star Movies anymore, I happened to miss them but I dont think I missed much. There was Ben Stiller trying to act like a cross between Adam Sandler and Nelly, didn't do a very good job at it though. Then there was the much talked about Gay movie Brokeback Mountain. I wonder how anyone came up with an idea like that, I'm glad it didnt win the oscar. We were then joined by Adarsh who was giving his valuable inputs when Siddarth said,"I dont like these movies with one word names"
Me: Crash
Dhruv: Cellular
Adarsh: PHONE BOOTH
(And you all probably guessed how we mustve laughed at that)
And then Adarsh began counting the number of words in that and it dawned upon him that Phone Booth are indeed two different words
The laugh was so bad that Dhruv swallowed a fly, which was followed by an even bigger burst of laughter and Dhruvs sudden change in voice after that delicious little fly. I think he has been much affected by the bird flu and since he can not live without non veg food, moving on to flies now... sweet!!
And just about then, the Shepherd(read Alinda Holla) came and asked us all to move to our classes.
The exam was utterly boring. I was expecting something not too long but due to the extremely boring nature of the paper, I was forced to finish my paper at about 11:00 with no time left for sleeping, hmph. I must congratulate the English Department on how they surprise us with the ever-increasing level of stupidity of the papers. Plus, Literature was 40 marks,'Nuff said.
That done, I moved to my bus and finally finished this months TopGear.
Looking forward to Computers

Mornings before exams are exceptionally interesting, there is noise all around but its the kind of noise which can be compared to silence, silence before something big, like the lull before the storm. Everybody is studying, except for a few. I have this policy of not studying right till the point the exam does not begin and hence I can be seen with an issue of TopGear in my hand when everybody has a big fat Pradeep's. The above-mentioned few include me, Dhruv, and a few others.
Today we had english, and I dont think you need to study for that right before your exam. Its a good thing that we now get a preparatory leave for English, cause one can sit back, relax and play games. I, for one, started my course at around 3:00 PM, was done by around 8:30. Yes, that is long, but yea well, I take my time.
Anyways, the morning was fun today as we were talking about the Oscars. Since I dont get any Star Movies anymore, I happened to miss them but I dont think I missed much. There was Ben Stiller trying to act like a cross between Adam Sandler and Nelly, didn't do a very good job at it though. Then there was the much talked about Gay movie Brokeback Mountain. I wonder how anyone came up with an idea like that, I'm glad it didnt win the oscar. We were then joined by Adarsh who was giving his valuable inputs when Siddarth said,"I dont like these movies with one word names"
Me: Crash
Dhruv: Cellular
Adarsh: PHONE BOOTH
(And you all probably guessed how we mustve laughed at that)
And then Adarsh began counting the number of words in that and it dawned upon him that Phone Booth are indeed two different words
The laugh was so bad that Dhruv swallowed a fly, which was followed by an even bigger burst of laughter and Dhruvs sudden change in voice after that delicious little fly. I think he has been much affected by the bird flu and since he can not live without non veg food, moving on to flies now... sweet!!
And just about then, the Shepherd(read Alinda Holla) came and asked us all to move to our classes.

Torn Apart
In simpler words "Phat Gayi".
So was my state uptil about 1215PM after which I realised that my paper went decent.
After every exam(Barring English), you can classify the students into two groups, those whose exam went extremely well, and those whose exam sucked. Today(Maths), I could see more people around me who belonged to the second group, and I, as a matter of fact, belonged to the same group uptil about the time I mentioned above.
It was a very lengthy paper, it wasnt taking the name of finishing, or khatam hone ka naam hi nahin le raha tha. I was progressing decently though. But the thing was, by around 11:00, I had 3 questions amounting to a total of 14 marks left. I had no idea how to do them and I didnt think I was going to get any ideas. But I still kept trying. 11:10, 1 down, the other 2 didnt seem to want to go down though. Still 10 marks left, what do we do.
Advice: When you are in such a situation, and if all else fails, actually you would be in this situation if all else failed, just keep looking at your question paper and try to visualise the question.
So at 11:10, it suddenly struck me. 11:13, 2 down, I had given up on the last one. I was sitting waiting for the bell to ring. 11:15, sardar's dimaag works again. I asked for the sheet at 11:15, and instead of giving me the sheet, Mr. Anil K dot Verma decided to give me his weird look, everyone else was giving me a weird look too because NOBODY ASKS FOR A SHEET THE MINUTE THE EXAM IS SUPPOSED TO GET OVER. If I had detachable eyes, I wouldve given the look to myself.
Anyways, somehow managed to complete my paper, I dont like it when I have to leave questions like that.
After the very traumatic last 15 minutes, I obviously thought my paper went badly. My first words after finishing the paper were, " Phat Gayi ", as were everyone elses. Nobody was greeting anyone, you could see it on their faces. Nobody said hi, just "phati?" or "lagi?".
And then there was Rhea. She was standing there like a statue, and then went into this weird trance and started shaking everyone around while screaming "40.. 40.. 40". Ah, well, atleast shes getting more than she expected.
Even while coming back, I was either discussing the paper or exclaiming,"Phat Gayi Yaar". I think I said that about 11 times, but whos counting.
At about 12:15PM, a very insightful person asked me the reason why I was so bothered when my paper went left. Very insightful indeed. And the next few minutes, until I reached home, were spent in talking about cars, and TV shows.
Anyways, Im happy Maths is over.

A Cokey Concoction - I
Hello Friends
Februaries are awfully short months and their shortness is realised only when exams approach. You set your time table(If you do) for finishing the course thinking Feb to be a normal 31 day month but its only towards the end that you realise that you're actually 3 days short. This can cost you, specially if you have boards coming up.
Anyways, Moving to DPSRKP.
You know when you're in Class XI, and you have science, you have practicals before exams. You also have practicals when you're in class 10 but they are nothing, just a formality.
I was asked to define photosynthesis in my bio practicals last year, something that we've been learning since class 3.
Yes, so my point is that Class XI practicals are practicals, you actually have to perform experiments. And if you happen to be like me or dhruv kumar for that matter, youre in trouble mister.
Me- Never attended any Chemistry Practicals before half yearlies and never attended any Physics practicals after half yearlies. In my defence, I do things one step at a time.
Dhruv Kumar- He went a step further, never attended any practicals.
What happened in the Practicals then, you might ask
Chemistry

Dhruv Kumar- He went a step further, never attended any practicals.
What happened in the Practicals then, you might ask
Chemistry
- Salt Analysis- Well I did all the tests for cations and anions twice, and each time it turned out to be something else. And unless your some person with some super nasal abilities, it is kind of hard to detect ammonia. One more thing, never pour concentrated H2SO4 in a test tube and hold it without a test tube holder, it gets kind of hot.
- Titration- Since I never attended any of the classes when titrations were performed, I didnt quite manage to do it right, but who cares, I wrote rubbish there.
- Chemistry Labs have this weird ability to make you forget everything you tried to memorise, which was very much the case with me. This fact is also strengthened when you see 3 teachers and 2 lab asses around you, all chemists. They have this weird look on their face, like theyre gonna pour Acid over you and then quickly neutralise that with a base and take concordant readings, and then calculate Normality(The teachers are hardly normal). But, then again, Lab Asses are good people
- The Viva was another classic moment. The teacher asked me 3 questions, I didnt quite know all the answers and then let me loose. In my defence, it was the chem lab.
- The experiment in Physics were quite easy, specially because two people were performing it together and there was no problem writing all the stuff we were supposed to.
- Viva- I very confidently gave answers to the questions I knew, to the ones I didnt know, I tried making stories, but its hard when you have this short fat man with spectacles looking at you with a weird grin on his face.
- Alright, so everyone probably knows that I am comp geek. We had 3 hours for the practical. I finished the questions in about 10 mins and then I had to sit there and wait for the teacher to take my viva. A word of advice: Never finish your question early, act like its real tough and you dont know anything(Not if your an exunite). Anyways, my viva was like some courtroom drama, Anita Rathi, she was asking question after question and many didnt even make sense at all. Our Computer Teacher, Mr. Mohit Dey, just checked my practical file, without even looking at it. Everything was over in about 25 minutes and the rest of the day was spent in playing basketball. Oh, and I got full in comp pracs, but then again whos counting?

Just a filler
Hello Friends
Just wanted to post something here today as the month of February had been completely empty.
Nothing much has happened since my last post though. Since the beginning of February, school had been in 6th gear to finish the syllabus.. and by that I mean finishing around 5 chapters in PCM, within 2 weeks.
Apparently, I was enjoying all of this, which is not a very good thing. To elucidate, I was enjoying finishing the syllabus even though I was not enjoying being in school.
Valentines day came and then it went, I had to cancel all my dates(I had 2) because I was too sleepy.
Last Thursday(the day of muharram) was spent in fever and watching Rang De Basanti. Rang De Basanti is a good and different movie, not the average Karan Johar-Gay, Shah Rukh Khan, Huge Star Cast, Shooting outside India.
The thing that separated RDB from all the other movies was the fact that it brought out the truth. For example, When the Minister was shot, the news people talked about involvement of foreign terrorists and shit like that. The media I tell you... I shall do a media bashing thing after the exams. Another thing in RDB was that there were no music scenes in meadows, and running around trees.. THank you Lord. Plus, we all know of the very nice vocabulary the guys use in the movie.
On a sad note, Bird Flu has hit India, which basically means, no Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan(I hope the certain someone is reading this) twice a week... SHIT!... Such is life.
My practical exams commence on Wednesday and Finish on Friday. Exams start next Saturday. This time I am going to be truly, purely screwed, no doubts about that.
OHH.. One more thing. I am going to make a movie after the exams. Its basically the story of Five Point Someone(yes, that book). Im looking for people who have handycams to lend and people whove read the book and ready to act in the movie.
I need 2 fat guys, 1 utterly boring person(with a monotonous voice), One dude, one girl(she need not be very hot, but she need not be the exact opposite of that either), and rest roles ill see.
So Happy Fishing

Wear Sunscreen- Baz Luhrmann
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you
imagine.
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours.
Floss
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with
yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body,
use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own..
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good.
Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen…

School.. c'est tres boring
Yello there
Like the title says, School is very boring these days.
As one would normally expect with a new year, something new but unfortunately its the same old grind. Nothing is interesting at all.
And it doesnt get any better with our rep coming in everyday and reminding us that we 42 days and counting left for class 12. I always hate it when that happens. In class 10, all year round one is reminded of the fact that it is ze Board year and one should concentrate. To an extent, I would agree but 10th is the last year to partay if you want to get good results in 11th and 12th. Besides, one can always study in the last 2 months and get respectable marks. This is not what i did though. I partayed and concentrated, in equilibrium.
Anyways,
The only subjects that I seem to want to attend are Computers*, English and somewhat Physics.
*Today, I was the first one to complete a program in less than 5 lines.. wooohoooo..
English isnt too bad either. Its the only class where a teacher keeps the whole class interested. Today, she brought us.. Yes Vanita Sehgal brought us chocolates in return for the gift we gave her for her belated birthday. By the way, did I tell you we have a Birthday Club amongst the many other stupid clubs in our class? We collect money and get gifts for all our teachers and get cards for the students.. WOOHOOO. Bet you guys arent that privileged.
And yes, coming to the reason why I dont feel like attending Maths or Chemistry. Well Maths, nobody would want to attend a Maths class if they have the teacher that we have. The Reason: shes so boring. She finishes 3 exercises on an average in one period and shes gone to a maximum of 5.
Well Chem, I dont even feel like writing about her.
Other than that, I dont see what is there in school. All 12thies and 10thies have their exams, which basically leaves me with very few people to interact with.

Yappy Noo Ear
Well Hello there
A very happy new year to all of you.
It’s been a long year, and it’s been a good year. As a matter of fact, its been my best year so far.
I went to
Coming back from
I then entered Class 11, 11-J to be more precise. The only person I knew(when I entered it) was Siddharth Nangia, who happened to be with us during the French Trip. I still cant stop laughing at Siddharth holding up a banner which read 11-J in BIG BOLD LETTERS, and in Times New Roman Font Face, which had been handed to him by none other than our very own class teacher, Mr. Anil K. Verma. Our Class Teacher is a class apart, he like to keep the ball Rawling.
Class 11-J doesn’t quite seem like a class of 16 year olds, but this can be only experienced when you listen to the utterly crappy jokes of GP and Co.
Anyways,
Class 11 is quite tiresome and kicks you in the butt and makes class 10 feel like cakewalk. I joined Fiitjee on 6th August and have never enjoyed a Weekend since then. Small Price to pay when your goal is IIT. Class 11, contrary to popular belief, is not the year to partay. And if you think it is the year to partay, and if you do manage to partay through it, have a look at your report card.
The only way you can have fun in class 11 is if you are an Exun Member, or a classmate of an Exun Member. It sure was fun sneaking out of Maths Class when we did not feel like studying.
It is also fun telling a teacher like Ms. Vanita Sehgal that she doesn’t have the brains to read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy(It aint my fault she didn’t get find it funny)
Nonetheless, School did seem nice this past one year. I met some great people in school, strengthened some old friendships, and had a blast my own little way (sneaking out of class and playing H2G2)
The exceptionally great people from school that I met over the past one year, are exceptionally great. They changed my view of not believing in the concept of having friends because you need them and its cool to have them around to share your joys and sorrows (oh the clichés). But, I did share my joys and sorrows with them.
I made lots of Friends, yes I mean real friends. Mostly by bugging them in the Egurucool Lab(We exunites just call it DA LAB) when they were trying to work, print a magazine, print their reccos, print their forms, print anything. I also made friends by stealing pens during MUN.
These guys and gals have helped me get through this academically tormenting year. Thanks y’all!
The sad thing is, most of them are going to pass out of school this march. Sad. But, Life goes on.
EXUN. Exun is an essential part of my school life and being a member always has its benefits. You are automatically sent to DA LAB to take a print out of anything. The computer teacher(at least Mr. Dey) doesn’t say anything to you for missing his classes. I cant imagine life without EXUN. This year saw the tenth year for Exun, the symposium and what better way to celebrate than to make the greatest Intro Video ever. And im not joking. Its not everyday you hear people say, “Ahhh!.. so that’s why they got Sony as their Sponsor”. Certainly, we are the experts.
MUN was another fun thing. Much more fun than last year, particularly because I got to miss my FIITJEE class and be there all the three days. This year, I held the post of the USG – Information and Computer Services and yes its fun being that. I did manage to scare this little kid at Eatopia when he saw me with my big head(because of the turban on). I have already mentioned how I made friends here.
In the year 2005, I was also offered the Singapore International Airlines(SIA) Youth Scholarship to pursue my pre-university(year 11 and 12) level education in one of
I also happened to witness the Scribbler’s Day where about a thousand dipsites of class 12 are released in the football field and they write all sorts of messages on each others shirts because its their last day as normal dipsites after which they must study for their exams. Sad. But life goes on.
I shall miss you guys, thanks for making this year worthwhile for me.
As I bid goodbye(or as I already have) to this great year, I hope that this new year brings the same challenges and joys and people. Now I understand why being 16, is what it is. Id rather be 16 till I die. But nonetheless, I am going to be 17, which by any means is old. Also, this shall be my last year as an exunite, and as a dipsite. Sad. But life Goes on.
