Happy New Year

Hello Boys and Girls
A very happy new year to you























I am now the proud owner of the phone you just saw, the sony ericsson k790i. Great Camera 3.2 MP. the pictures in the last post were taken with this wonderful thing.

Anyways
the board date sheet is out.. its pretty cool. The only sad part is that i would be spending my birthday in some examination center writing my maths exam, and i wont be free till the 4th of April. After that, I have entrance examinations every weekend. So basically, the next 5 months are going to be busy for me.

All my applications are on their way to the respective universities and I await the decisions. Hope I get in somewhere.

On an Apple note, the new iPhone has been spotted. Supposedly Apple is going in for a partnership with sony and they plan to release under the cybershot range. Heres a snapshot
The biggest let down, however, was: ITS NOT WHITE!!!!















Anyways Happy new year again

PS: Coming soon....

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.

• Tanya says,"It hurts when things get stuck in it(Zippers)"(Shes obviously experienced the pain)
• And Vibhu says,"Button Flys result in Ripples".
  

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

New stuff

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.

Yellow!
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:-

1. 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.
2. English- Take a Wild guess????..
   Yup, Ms. Vanita Sehgal
   Description- LOL
3. 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
4. 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
5. Physics- Ms. Vandana Marwah
   Today was the first class, cant say much about it.
