finally time to leave home for my practical exams..enjoyed a lot these days... got so much to eat..lol
could not blog much as i had been busy with my work plus cousins, shopping etc etc..
leaving tonight by bus along with ma friends n tomorrow is the last day of my 3 sem at coll. sob sob sob. it was a wonderful sem n enjoyed a lot. we had classes maximum till 2 each day plus loads of free hours. subjects also were decent enough none of them being too tough. cant forget the mass bunks, chats, jokes,pranks etc etc.. hmmm what an awesome sem it was.tomorrow will be the last day, cant believe it!!!!!
also uploading a pic of our class, u can have an idea about the strength on mass bunks.

Hello

saw the movie today n a brief review about it.
Wonder what went wrong? For, boy wonder, Chetan Bhagat's pulp fiction page- turners literally read like a Bollywood masala flick. Reading his recent Three Mistakes ... was almost like watching a Hindi film, complete with a fire and brimstone climax that belted out all the right messages about bhaichara (fraternity), ekta (unity), dosti (friendship) and humanism.One Night at a Call Centre too has the mandatory ingredients, including a brush with divinity. And the devil too! Not forgetting the break-ups, link-ups and patriotic pulp that generally assures foolproof drama.Not this time, however. The problem lies not so much in the performances as in the turgid screenplay and the tedious plot development which transform the film into an uninspired celluloid adaptation of a successful book..

happy diwali to all....

May the festival of lights be the harbinger of joy and prosperity. As the holy occasion of Diwali is here and the atmosphere is filled with the spirit of mirth and love, here's hoping this festival of beauty brings your way, bright sparkles of contentment, that stay with you through the days ahead.
Best wishes on Diwali

CHANDRAYAAN mission...

proud to be an indian. a brief description that i found about it. its really awesome when u read more about it. u can visit http://www.isro.org/chandrayaan/htmls/home.htm for further information. Mission Sequence

1) Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft would be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, SHAR, Sriharikota by PSLV-XL (PSLV-C11) in an highly elliptical initial orbit (IO) with perigee (nearest point to the Earth) of about 257 km and an apogee (farthest point from the Earth) of about 22,858 km. 2) After a few revolutions in the initial orbit, the spacecraft's Liquid Apogee Motor (LAM) firing would be done, when the spacecraft is near perigee, to raise the apogees to 37,421 km and 73,925 km respectively. 3) Subsequently, the LAM is fired to take the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft to extremely high elliptical orbit with apogees 199,277 km and 269,201 km. Later the spacecraft would be raised to an orbit with 1,019 km perigee and 386,194 km apogee. Once the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft reaches the vicinity of the Moon, the spacecraft is slowed down sufficiently so as to enable the gravity of the moon capture it into an elliptical orbit (LC). After a careful and detailed observation the height of the spacecraft's orbit will be finally lowered to its intended 100 km circular polar orbit. Following this, the Moon Impact Probe (MIP) would be ejected from Chandrayaan-1 to impact on the lunar surface. Afterwards, all the scientific instruments/payloads are commissioned sequentially and Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft explores the Moon with its array of instruments for two years.

happy n memorable day :-)

today turned out to be a excellent day. got to see loads of movies n eat variety of stuffs.
also tried out my new sony digital camera.its simply awesome with great clarity.
also copied few stuff into ma new 250 gb portable hard disk. cousins were supposed to come today but could not make it. they all turning up tomorrow, so sure to have a blast.

Mohali, Oct 18 Sachin Tendulkar, playing in his 50th Test innings against Australia, Friday became the leading run-getter - 12,027 - in the history of Test cricket, bettering West Indian Brian Lara's aggregate of 11,953 in 131 Tests.

Sachin, when on 61, became the first batsman in Test annals to amass 12,000 runs in the longer version of the game. At the time of achieving the feat, his average was 54.29.

Other statistical highlights on the first day of the second cricket against Australia:

* Sachin's 10th fifty against Australia is his 50th fifty in Test cricket.

* Sachin is the second Indian and the fourth in Test annals to have registered 50 fifties or more in Test Cricket, joining Allan Border (63), Rahul Dravid (53) and Steve Waugh (50).

* Tendulkar, during his innings of 88, has established another record. He is now the leading run-getter at Mohali - 547 runs at an average of 54.70 in eight Tests, eclipsing Rahul Dravid's tally of 509 (ave.56.55) in seven Tests.

best part was we were able to watch the match as it was screened in the college wi fi n it was really great.the whole hostel n campus was in claps when sachin reached the record. hats off to him.

this post dedicated to a cricket freak!!!

Rahul Dravid's 10,000 Test runs were celebrated at Chinnaswamy stadium with Sachin unveiling a wall of 10,000 bricks.
It was a wall of commitment, consistency and class written all over it to describe the former India skipper.

Built by Bangalore-based Realtor Skyline group, the Wall projects Dravid in metal statue playing his trademark cover-drive and features the legendary batsman's finest cricketing moments in both forms of cricket.

i am sure to get comments for this post longer than the post itself from someone..lol..

Dr.Kalam's visit to SASTRA

on 2 October Mr.kalam visited our college as part of the University's 25 years celebrations n also Gandhi jayanthi celebrations.
a very large pandal was erected n around 3000 students n 1000 staff were present for his lecture.
he spread his message of vision 20-20. also talked about various topics related to science n how students can help in research. he wanted the colleges n students to focus more on research along with the academics. his speech was really inspiring.
his ending words of the speech,which i still remember

Courage to think different, Courage to invent, Courage to discover the impossible, Courage to travel into an unexplored path, Courage to share the knowledge Courage to remove the pain Courage to reach the unreached Courage to combat the problems And Succeed, Are the unique qualities of the youth. As a youth of my nation, I will work and work with courage to achieve success in all my scientific missions.

u can read more about his lecture at
