thanks orkut...



Most of my friends and parents say that i live an online life..i don't have a life beyond Internet...i don't like to go out much, hangout with friends etc..yes i am addicted to Internet...its a space where i travel,where i meet people make friends,share valuable information..i like it here..most of us know about orkut...its importance in one's life may differ..but I've lived some of the best moments here that i haven't in the world outside..no one can ever imagine how much it can get into your life and becomes an indispensable part..
but the question is why? i'll tell you the answer...i would like to share how i got one of the most precious gifts of my life which i never dreamt of
When i joined orkut it was like once in a day visit to check my scrapbook...all friends where whom i already knew and spent all my day in college with them..
but then slowly i learned about the communities and how people discuss various issues...chat share their views, contribute ideas etc... now once i was browsing through different profiles and randomly adding new friends rather sending friend requests, i like to make friends and meet new people...
i think this is where orkut helps...
it all started ..while i was browsing different communities...
i viewed the members list..and the profiles which seemed different...like this i came across a profile and added the guy as a friend! and he accepted but this is not about him either...it was when i was sitting at my workplace and was browsing
along side my work...i received a message which said I'm buddha's cousin...i am in class tenth,days went by we spoke regularly..she calls me dada,means elder brother in bengali she talked about cats,puppies...i am also fond of pets so i liked it..
she has a heart of a 5 year old which is pure gold..one day her elder sister told me that she's crying as her vacations are over and now she has to go back and there's no internet at her place so she cant speak to you so she's upset about it...i was stunned why would someone cry for a person whom one barely knows..
this came at such a point in my life where i was living hopelessly..there are situations where even your closest ones i.e your parents are also not with you
they were almost fed up of me and my decision making which they were always opposed to...but there was someone whom I've never met in my life...
came so close and was so concerned for me....she endlessly praised me which motivated me and helped me to get out of a shell...i always thought
i was useless..good for nothing guy...who can't satisfy even his parents..I would never make a good son..my father always says that am not good enough to wear my clothes properly in a decent manner..
then forget about the rest...but this cute little sweet heart sister of mine believes that I'm the best brother in the world...this brings me back to life..
it makes me feel that am at least of some worth...when i shared this to some of my friends i got all kinds of responses...i don't want to get into all that..as some were good others were worst... but i don't care...if someone gets a gift like this... then everyone will be addicted to orkut...all i can say is thanks orkut...

Ant-iclimax



One hot afternoon around 2 o'clock...just after having my lunch i was sitting on the floor watching tv...suddenly i noticed a chain of around 10-15 ants marching down the floor...as if they were on a mission..then i realized that they were up for a feast...they had found small piece of sweet somewhere and they are busy breaking that into bits and carrying it to there shelter...At times i wonder how do they get the information about these chunks of food...they have an outstanding network indeed..they don't posses gadgets like human beings but still...while i was thinking about this suddenly something struck in my mind and i just decided to break their chain without hurting them...i got hold of one of them from the middle of the chain and placed it on a different zone altogether around 30 cms from that line...there was an unrest in the chain and the ant just behind the one i dislocated..was clueless..it seemed that it had lost everything in this world and was left in no man's land...desperately searching for the lost one...imagine if this was queue of human beings...we would have loved to see someone get out of the queue by whatever means...but these little insects are not human beings..perhaps they don't think that much...now coming to the lost ant, it was lost in an ocean,the floor of the room has turned into an ocean...it couldn't spot anything where to go what to do...it pauses for two seconds and starts to move first in the wrong direction then a stop then again a turn and again moves this time in the right direction mind you they don't have access to radars...after 5 minutes that broken chain is linked and things are back to normal but guess what those two ants are still missing...as they say life moves on...the lost ant doesn't give up its search as it moves on stumbling,crashing into the furniture stands by the time it had also lost that tiny chunk of sweet which it had grabbed...but rite now getting back to the chain was the main agenda..
the other ant which was on the search was also eventually lost...interestingly they were not very far from each other which i could see but they....seconds after they were as close as half a centimeter but then there was a knock on the gate of my house and suddenly my mother rushed to the gate..while she made her way to the gate she didn't realize that she had killed both those ants in the process but i did because i was observing them for quite some time now...there's nothing fancy about this whole incident but a certainly a lot to learn...they might be tiny little insects but they certainly posses a lot of qualities that we human beings don't...

MAT- An usless affair



The management aptitude test conducted by the AIMA four times every year for admission to various management courses in over 300 colleges across the country.The application fee is about 700 INR.Its a pretty easy exam as compared to any other management entrance test.Getting a percentile of anything between 80-95 is not that tough, but the biggest question is what's next? nothing much to be very honest that percentile will fetch you a call from almost every part of the country from B and C grade colleges of course.
Now just check the expenses of your entire program. in 90 percent of the colleges its more than 4.5 lacs..so whats the big deal we can always get an education loan..but hey hang on...have you thought about the job prospects after completion of the course and what emi are you going to pay..EMI for an educational loan for a tenure of 5 years will come around 10-12k pm...now lets come to the placements..the average placement of a B or C grade college is around 2.5-3.5 lpa...now decide is it worth???
So all you smart people out there just don't opt for MAT its just a total waste

Eat mobile Sleep mobile

Are you a Zener diode?

Diode resembles to human nature according to me..
yes..human being is also a diode,the only difference is the source of energy and excitation..the average human being is a diode, but he unique ones are like zener diodes, A zener diode not only permits current in the forward biased condition but also in the reverse direction,it permits current even when the voltage is more than the breakdown voltage.A conventional solid-state diode will not allow significant current if it is reverse-biased below its reverse breakdown voltage.So now decide whether you are a zener diode or not...The breakdown voltage can be controlled quite accurately in the doping process..but what this doping resembles to in real life is to be understood..Zener diodes are widely used to regulate the voltage across a circuit..now we can understand that how important it is..cause the entire circuit is counting on it..
