jai orkut

www.orkut.com

jai orkut!! its far popular and powerful than yahoo and other messenger and even the revolutionary invention like mobile phone!!
ppl dont meet...dont talk on phone..dont chat on yahoo...but they do orkutting...in a very short time orkut has got immense popularity..even companies that has blocked messengers to avoid employees from chatting, have allowed orkutting!!!


the best thing is you are always connected through orkut..
even if you dont contact one for 6 months...you will be as much connected as u were...and all scraps will update u about the one immediately!!


now ppl chat thru orkut...they share their experiences..snaps..views..testimonials...its very social...

but there is one bad thing..its very uncontrolled...unlimited...any body can see ur profile..all ur scraps and photos....but i guess in near future orkut is going to improve on privacy and security issues. they have already provided facility to get invitations only from friends of friends only.

well ..its a huge success... Google has really put a lot of innovative techniques in place...

thanks ORKUT!

happy orkutting!!

today's importance for Indians

Today is  130th Anniversary of our National song Vande Mataram!
It was written by  Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in 1876, on September 7. ( some says its 7th NOv 1975) .
Anyways..lets sing this song that brought courage an enthu in our freedom fighters!
 
 
सुजलां सुफलां मलयजशीतलाम्
सस्य श्यामलां मातरंम् .
शुभ्र ज्योत्सनाम् पुलकित यामिनीम्
फुल्ल कुसुमित द्रुमदलशोभिनीम्,
सुहासिनीं सुमधुर भाषिणीम् .
सुखदां वरदां मातरम् ॥

सप्त कोटि कन्ठ कलकल निनाद कराले
द्विसप्त कोटि भुजैर्ध्रत खरकरवाले
के बोले मा तुमी अबले
बहुबल धारिणीम् नमामि तारिणीम्
रिपुदलवारिणीम् मातरम् ॥

तुमि विद्या तुमि धर्म, तुमि ह्रदि तुमि मर्म
त्वं हि प्राणाः शरीरे
बाहुते तुमि मा शक्ति,
हृदये तुमि मा भक्ति,
तोमारै प्रतिमा गडि मन्दिरे-मन्दिरे ॥

त्वं हि दुर्गा दशप्रहरणधारिणी
कमला कमलदल विहारिणी
वाणी विद्यादायिनी, नमामि त्वाम्
नमामि कमलां अमलां अतुलाम्
सुजलां सुफलां मातरम् ॥

श्यामलां सरलां सुस्मितां भूषिताम्
धरणीं भरणीं मातरम् ॥

thought of the day!

Be More concerned with your character
than your reputation,
because your character is what you really are,
while your reputation
is merely what others think you are.


----------------

It takes a minute to have a crush, an hour to like someone

and a day to love someone but it takes a lifetime to forget someone!

So.... Be in Touch with your friends.

stay happy!!

Prince fallen in a pit: mujhe bhi gaddhe me girna hai!!

Value of life ( Dil se )


This is really a serious issue. We Indians really don't feel the importance of life, unless we are the ones who have lost someone.

Our Govt does not take action, not because it does not have the power, but because we don't demand, for them as well as us these things are like - CHALTA HAI!!
this cartoon is made by my friend Nitin.

Bachpan ke din..good old days!!

Read Till Last(Read when wanna get nostalgic)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When gulli-danda and kanche (marbles) were more popular than cricket ...
When we always had friends to play aais-paais (I Spy), chhepan-chhepai and
pitthoo anytime ...
When we desperately waited for 'yeh jo hai zindagi' ..
When chitrahaar, vikram-baitaal, dada daadi ki kahaniyaan were so fulfilling
...
When there was just one tv in every five houses and
When bisleris were not sold in the trains and we were worrying if papas will
get back into the train in time or not when they were getting down at
stations to fill up the water bottle ...
When we were going to bed by 9.00pm sharp except for the 'yeh jo hai
jindagi' day ...
When Holis & Diwalis meant mostly hand-made pakwaans and sweets and moms
seeking our help while preparing them
When Maths teachers were not worried of our mummys and papas while
slapping/beating us ...
When we were exchanging comics and stamps and chacha-chaudaris and billus
were our heroes ...
When we were in nanihaals every summer and loved flying kites and plucking
and eating unripe mangoes and leechis ..
When one movie every Sunday evening on television was more than asked for
and 'ek do teen chaar' and 'Rajni' inspired us ...
When 50 paisa meant at least 10 toffees ...
When left over pages of the last years notebooks were used for rough work or
even fair work ...
When 'chelpark' and 'natraaj' were encouraged against 'reynolds and family'
...
When the first rain meant getting drenched and playing in water and mud and
making 'kaagaj ki kishtis' ...
When there were no phones to tell friends that we will be at their homes at
six in the evening ...
When our parents always had 15 paise blue colored 'antardesis' and 5 paise
machli wale stamps at home
When we remembered tens of jokes and were not finding 'ice-cream and papa'
type jokes foolish enough to stop us from laughing ...
When we were not seeing patakhes on Diwalis and gulaals on Holis as air and
noise polluting or allergic agents
When we were using our hearts more than our brains, even for scientifically
brainy activities like'thinking' and 'deciding'
When we were crying and laughing more often, more openly and more sincerily
...
When we were enjoying our present more than worrying about our future
When being emotional was not synonymous to being weak
When sharing worries and happiness didn't mean getting vulnerable to the
listener ...
When blacks and whites were the favorite colors instead of greys ...
When journeys also were important and not just the destinations
When life was a passenger's sleeper giving enough time and opportunity to
enjoy the scenaries from its open and transparent glass windows instead of
some superfast's second ac with its curtained, closed and dark windows...

....sachi kya din hote tha woh.....jab hum 8 baje se Chitrahar ka wait karte
tha har wednesday ko...aur in betweeen..."Rukawat ka liya khed hai" :sorry
for the interruption aajata tha to kitna gussa aata tha,.....
woh time jab hum Chacha Chuadhri aur Raka ki mutbhar pada karte tha, pinky
and billo, mama bhanja, motu patlo......chunni chachi...waow man ....kya din
tha woh...
I think that was the real bachpan which we enjoyed.....


Machhali Jal ki Rani hai
Jeewan uska paani hai
hath lagao darr jayegi
bahar nikalo mar jayegi...


Posham pa bhai posham pa
sau(100) rupay ki ghadi churayi
ab to jail mein jana padega
jail ki roti khana padega
jail ka pani peena padega
thayi thuiya thush
madari baba fushhhhhh....

Ghoda jamal khayi,
picche dekho maar khayi
raste mein chalta tha
uski chiththi gir gayi
kisi ne utha lee
laad saab ko de di
laad saab ne phaad phood ke phenk di

Jhooth bolna paap hai
nadi kinare saanp hai
kali mai aayegi
tumko utha le jayegi...


jhooth bolna paap hai
nadi kinare saanp hai
vahi tumhara baap hai
hahahhahhaha


aaj somvar hai,
chuhe ko bukhar hai
chuha gaya doctor ke pass
doctor ne lagayi sui
chula bola ooooiiiii


aalu-kachalu beta kaha gaye the
bandar ki jhopdi mein so rahe the
bandar ne laat maari ro rahe the
mummy ne paise diye has rahe the


titlee udi,bus mein chadi
seet na mili ,to rone lagi
driver bola aaja mere pass
titlee boli "hat badmash"


chanda mama door ke
puye pakaye bhoor ke
aap khaye thali mein
munne ko de pyali mein


Maanavta ke man-mandir mein, gyaan ka deep jala do
Karunanidhaan Bhagwaan mere Bhaarat ko swarg bana do

Dukh daridrata ka naash karo,
Maanav ke kasht mita do
Amrit ki varsha barsakar
Bhookh ki aag bujha do.
He Kuber Bhandari, jag mein dhaan ke dher laga do
Karunanidhaan Bhagwan mere Bhaarat ko swarg bana do.

akkad bakkad bumbe bol
80-90 pure 100
100 mein laga dhaga
chor nikal ke bhaga...

raja ki raani soti thi
moti ki maala boti thi....


chadrakanta ki kahani
ye maana hai purani
ye purani ho kar bhi
badi lagti hai suhaani
naugarh vijaygarh main thi takrar
naugarh ka tha jo raajkumar
chandrakanta se karta tha pyar
chandrakanta se karta tha pyar...


budhe baba budhde baba

NADEE KINAARE
nadeee to ye rahi(pointing to the circle)
CHHOTI SI HAI
1 paisa daalo badi ho jaayegi

AB BHI CHHOTI HAI
1 paisa daalo aur badhi ho jaayegi

When being smart meant being more helpful and intelligent rather than making other fool for going forward pushing others backward.
In short..we are getting selfish..now we are so busy in making our life that we are not enjoying it at all...its like we are in rush to get a goal..but our attention is more on path rather than the goal! We are too aggressive to reach the destination that we are not enjoying the journey! I have posted this so that we dont forget that life is possible even without mobile phones, internet and sci phi things, what matters is how happy we can make others !!
So never miss a opportunity to enjoy...to have a talk with old frens.. to remember how simple life can be!
Enjoy!

A letter from Mumbai to Terrorists

Dear Terrorist,

Even if you are not reading this we don't care. Time and again you tried to disturb us and disrupt our life - killing innocent civilians by planting bombs in trains, buses and cars. You have tried hard to bring death and destruction, cause panic and fear and create communal disharmony but everytime you were disgustingly unsuccessful. Do you know how we pass our life in Mumbai? How much it takes for us to earn that single rupee? If you wanted to give us a shock then we are sorry to say that you failed miserably in your ulterior motives. Better look elsewere, not here.

We are not Hindus and Muslims or Gujaratis and Marathis or Punjabis and Bengaliies. Nor do we distinguish ourselves as owners or workers, govt. employees or private employees. WE ARE MUMBAIKERS (Bombay-ites, if you like). We will not allow you to disrupt our life like this. On the last few occassions when you struck (including the 7 deadly blasts in a single day killing over 250 people and injuring 500+ in 1993), we went to work next day in full strength. This time we cleared everything within a few hours and were back to normal - the vendors placing their next order, businessmen finalizing the next deals and the office workers rushing to catch the next train. (Yes the same train you targetted)

Fathom this: Within 3 hours of the blasts, long queues of blood donating volunteers were seen outside various hospital, where most of the injured were admitted. By 12 midnight, the hospital had to issue a notification that blood banks were full and they didn't require any more blood. The next day, attendance at schools and office was close to 100%, trains & buses were packed to the brim, the crowds were back.

The city has simply dusted itself off and moved one - perhaps with greater vigour.

We are Mumbaikers and we live like brothers in times like this. So, do not dare to threaten us with your crackers. The spirit of Mumbai is very strong and can not be harmed.

Please forward this to others. U never know, by chance it may come to hands of a terrorist in Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iraq and he can then read this message which is specially meant for him!!!

With Love,
From the people of Mumbai (Bombay)

Invest carefully!!

Once upon a time in a village a man appeared who announced to the villagersthat he would buy monkeys for Rs. 10. The villagers seeing that there weremany monkeys went out in the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at 10 and as supply started to diminish and villagersstarted to stop their effort he announced that now he would buy at 20 rupees.This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started goingback to their farms. The offer rate increased to 25 and the supply ofmonkeys became so that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at 50! However, since hehad to go to the city on some business his assistant would now buy onbehalf of the man.In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers, "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell themto you at 35 and when the man comes back you can sell it to him for 50."The villagers queued up with all their saving to buy the monkeys. Phir na woh aadmi mila, aur na us ka assistant........... Sirf bandar heebandar.....

to mere doston....invest karo par sambhal ke...

things we learn from Dil Chahta hai...

i know this is a too old and will be already in fwd mail chains and blogs ..but i like it too much ..so putting it on my blog...

Things we can learn from Dil Chahta Hai.......
*Freaking out and enjoying life doesn't need drugs or cigarettes.
*There are relationships apart from bf/gf, marriage,siblings,friendship that can
be very emotional and true. which is beyond the understanding of many
people.
*And yeah even though u may be the best of friends there is always a limit
which should never be crossed. Then it starts hurting...........
*Improving ur imperfections after you realize it, always take some time.



*You always don't need to show or prove your gf/bf how much u love or care
about her/him, which can sound very boring and finally u r dumped.
*Believe in Love , true love will never let you down
*Never be ashamed to go back to your old friends, friends are there to
understand your mistakes.
*Do not be afraid of others, always think that others r afraid of
you.(Australian Beggar )
*Whenever you need your friend , remember that he is just a phone call
away...distances can't separate friends
*In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence
of our friends
href="http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pradeep_ee/detail?.dir=7f5ere2&.dnm=d0cbscd.jpg">


It's the friends you can call up at 4 A. M. that matter.
*The only unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.
*The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with -
never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best
conversation you've ever had.
And last but not the least- do what your heart loves karo wahi jo DIL CHAHTA HAI!!!

Dont let any friend go coz of a small misunderstanding!! they are too costly to loose!!



just to do + puzzle game + virus + fwds

hi ,
no new blog since new year started....lets write something..
yaar how can i waste 3 hours just for a riddle or a silly puzzle game. hmmm...that was really weird..if you have a lot of time to waste ( not actually waste..but to let your mind look for clues all over the world....googling..i mean if you are a real geek)..just do it...
good time pass..go to this link and play this clue game..
http://www.iimi-iris.com/iris/irising/klueLESS/
and for hints..go to
http://iimi-iris.blogspot.com/2005/11/klueless-discussion.html
and a word of caution: just dont take it too seriously..its just a hint game..if you get the clue..you are done..else..carry on your mind exercise.
anyway i enjoyed till 10th level..ppl have reached level 30. I tell you level 8 is most interesting.
Lets see how far i'll go.
other than this...just FYI ( four your info)..got to meet a new virus..actualy not that deadly till you let it come to your PC , but careless ppl..we cant check ourself if there is a secret photo or vedio to be seen...just be impatience..and there...these hackers know..they can let the virus kick in to the system.
This virus was Worm.Win32.VB.bi
or probably W32.Blackmal.E@mm
(http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blackmal.e@mm.html)

I dont understand how can ppl be so un-curious or neutral. Why they dont go google before forwarding and hoax or before opening any suspeicios mail attachment.
than they suffer...i mean how can you be negelcting the fact how dangerous a spam or forward is . Look, if you are forwarding some beautiful mails with quotes or good pictures or some good stuff just to keep in touch with your friend..that fine. But how can we just forward hoax like forward such mails and get some money or help somebody..
these chain mails are to harmfull. Simple calculation you can make. I f a mail is fwd to 20 ppl and they maintain the chain. just 5 fwd chains will generate 20exp 5 that is 32lakhs mails. and even if 30 seconds are spend on a mail. we overall wasted about 3 YEAR time in reading and forwarding this mails.
this much upto 5 chains only... Just imagine what real situation can be ..and how much server space is wasted.
So..please please..please cross check on google before spreading hoaxes and useless fwds.go google and other sites like http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/ and http://www.hoax-slayer.com

so january ka kota poora ho gaya...ab fursat me blog karenge.
Enjoy!!
