Tumse is kadar mile hain hum

Great Hall-2 Mess

The main reason for increase in the diameter of my belly is "Great Hall-2 Mess". This is simply because even after eating 5 chapatis I feel hungry and I have to take the help of canteen food for satisfying my hunger.

You must be wondering what is so great about Hall-2 mess? Let me start with breakfast. It is the best part of whole menu, because you will get most of the readymade items. Apart from BREAD-BUTTER/JAM you will get Pav Bhaji, Suji Halwa, Cheela, Masala Dosa etc. Bhaji is more like mix vegetable rather than bhaji. If you like crispy Dosa and consider a perfect Dosa to be equivalent to 100 then I would rate the Dosa of our mess to be equal to -100. The amount of butter they give along with bread is to make sure that you cannot eat more than 4 breads with butter. Even that is difficult sometimes.

Then comes the worst part of menu-"The Holy Lunch". I have not been able to figure out the no. of times I have eaten Egg Fried Rice during lunch. It helps the mess most in selling egg and extra coupons. If you leave fresh roti for 2 minutes then you cannot differentiate between a piece of paper and roti. If you are fond of eating potato and the worst recipes of any Green vegetable then come to our mess during lunch, you will love it. But, it might be possible that you will stop eating potato, so come at your own risk.

After this comes the Evening Prasad. Evening breakfast is Prasad to me, because we never get more than 2 breads or 2 tikki or 4-5 small sized pieces of onion pakode. On top of that, once a week you will get shahi bread which is made up of 1 bread only.

The second best , rather 3rd worst is the dinner. Those who are vegetarian, pray to God that non-veg is not made on a particular day. Days on which non-veg is available as extra, vegetarian items, rather item really sucks. Although in this era you will not get guarantee on anything but there is more than 100% guarantee that you will stop eating paneer if you eat in hall-2 mess for one week.

If by mistake food is made well someday, then facial expression of mess workers will ensure that you eat less or there will be restriction on the amount of items that you can take.

Note: Go for lunch or dinner, 10-15 minutes before the scheduled end time and if you are lucky then you might get good vegetable or item because soemtimes they re-cook it after it is finished. But, there are also chances that you won't get some items if you go late.

Mess indirectly markets canteen. I think canteen owner should give a part of his income to mess workers for their commendable job.

So, all those who want to increase their weight, join our mess and eat and in canteen.

ALL THE BEST!!!

Bihar Calling for Help!

Due to damage in the three kilometer barrage over Kosi River in Nepal, Bihar is witnessing the WORST EVER FLOOD in the history. Nearly 3.5-4 Milliom people have been affected. The inundated areas are Supaul, Madhepura and Araria districts of Bihar and floodwater is spreading into adjoining districts of Purnea and Saharsa. According to an International NGO ActionAid whose workers are on the ground it's likely that 2000 people have died. The situation is worse than ever.

People are sharing there shelter and food with snakes, dogs and cats on trees.They are running hither and thither continuously crying for help and starving to death.

Few of them can be seen fleeing to safety on the 28-km stretch of NH 106 between Madhepura and Saharsa. In this worse situation also, there are some devils who are robbing people and taking benefit of victims' misery. Our leaders are not behind. They are busy blaming each other for the condition rather than posing soltuions for this National Calamity.

But, there are some people also who are trying their best to help their fellow countrymen who are in great need right now. Army is doing it's best to reach the flood affected areas and provide people with necessary food and clothing.



Can you see the innocence in these eyes? Aren't these eyes calling for help? The question now is can't we help these people? If we won't help them then who will? To what extent UNICEF and UNO can help? It is us who have to take the charge. If we cannot go to the ground then we can help financially or in some other way.

All of us must be having some t-shirts or shirts or pants which we rarely wear and at last we simply throw them away. We can give away these clothes for the flood victims. We can gift unused 'unexpired' medicines. Our contribution can save the lives of millions. Don't hesitate to come forward.

If you want to help financially then,
Please contribute generously towards the Chief Minister Relief Fund, Bihar.

Rock On!

I was really excited about this movie since when I saw the trailer during summers. I got more excited when I came to know that Farhan Akhtar had sung 5 songs of the movie and is the lead actor.

Mid-sem 1 ended and me along with most of my wingies rushed to watch the movie at Rave Moti. I cannot explain how did those 3600 seconds passed, while we were waiting for the show to start as we reached there 1 hour ago. I was a bit disappointed to see that only half the theatre was full.

Movie Started after few good and few crappy promos. It started with one of my favourite tracks from the movie 'Socha Hai', but I didn't find it much enthusiastic as I found it while I listened it on my Laptop. There seemed to be no correlation between the proceeding scenes and I got even bored. Till Intermission, me and my friends had lot of fun not because of the movie but because of the jokes we cracked at different dialogues and scenes.

But, one shot at which most of us laughed and enjoyed was the modern veresion of 'Saanson Ki Jaroorat Hai' by MAGIC. It was simply awesome. I mean look at the facial expression of Joe(Arjun Rampal) and KD(Purab Kohli)in that song, it was so original and funny. One more funny scene was the song Jehreelay by that BALD Singer(don't know his name) :P .

After Intermission there was something in the movie which stopped all of us from cracking jokes and watching the movie seriously. The come back by the movie after Intermission was exceptional. It started to grow on. Debby's(Shahana Goswami) performance was so mature. She was perfect for the role. To me it was the best performance by Arjun Rampal. In between came the most funny scene of the movie when Debby congratulated Sakshi(Prachi Desai) and she replied "Oh dikh raha hai?". At last came the competition . When Aditya started the song 'Tum Ho Toh", my whole body shivered. I don't no why. Although the returning of Joe was trivial, but who gives a damn.

After movie ended ,I thought, "Oh! Why did I crack jokes and commented on different dialogues and scenes in the first half"? It was at that point of time, I realized that even first half was awesome but nonetheless I enjoyed the movie.

But there is one person who is surely going to be a superstar after this movie and he truly deserves it is no one else but Farhan Akhtar. He did a tremendous job both as a Singer and Actor. It seemed as if he was made for this role. You gonna ROCK ON Farhan. Love you!

ROCK ON ROCKED TO THE CORE!

And MAGIC was exactly like PARLE MAGIX :P

My Rating- 4.5/5

Happy Independence Day!

Does changing the display pic on Orkut on the eve of Independence Day or Republic Day mean that we are patriotic? Does displaying the Tricolour on Gtalk or Orkut or Facebook for one day mean that we feel for our country? Wishing each other "Happy Independence Day" or "Happy Republic Day" does not mean that we care for our country and countrymen. Why is it that just for 2 days out of 365 days we realize that we live in India or there is something called Patriotism? I have asked too many questions till now and you might be thinking what the hell I am talking about?

My Dear Countrymen, I really feel ashamed when I see people wishing other "Happy Independence Day" who themselves have brought corruption and dishonesty in the system. Even wishing each other on the eve of Independence Day is acceptable to some extent, but it really hurts when people break rules on the same day. What hurts more is that from very next day we forget that yesterday was Independence Day.

Just standing for the sake of standing while 'Jan Gan Man' is being played directly beats the purpose of National Anthem. Even if we do not stand while 'Jan Gan Man' is being played , but if we respect our Countrymen and Nation then that just standing and thinking about something else.

I just want to convey a simple message that if we stop being a hypocrite and and start performing our duties with full commitment and devotion then there can be nothing better than that.
