Toxophilite:

Toxophilite: A person practicing archery is called an archer, and one who is fond of or an expert at archery is sometimes called a toxophilite. (Wikipedia) Yeah, I could become one and shoot all the jerks who've broken my heart (!) :)

Im bored at work with nothing to do and all my chat friends are asleep at 6.30 in the morning, so here i am playing a word game at www.answers.com where you need to guess the meaning of a given word. Good fun if you've got nothing to do as well as improving on my vocabulary!

IITF (Pragati Maidan)

Went to Pragati Maidan this evening for the IITF with Sonu and Smita. The metro was crowded, the footpath as well, and Pragati Maidan was choked. I hate crowded places, especially with arbit men around but then the trip was worth it! We had some spicey Biryani from Hyderabad for 90 rupees with huge chunks of chicken and then some Fried Fish for 35 rupees in the West Bengal food court. We dropped by at the Assam pavilion to chat with strangers in Assamese and Bodo. Good fun! picked up some Sandoh Guri from the Assam. Oh I also bought a cute purple woollen hat for 100 rupees from Nagaland. Geared for the winters? Also bought some deliciously tangy, dried wild apple from there.

Dropped by in the Meghalaya Pavilion and met one of the ladies I had worked with when I was also working for the Meghalaya Govt during the IITF in 2004. She says I looked good since I'd lost so much of weight :-D

For people who are interested in going to the Trade fair can use the Metro as well as buy the tickets for the IITF in the station itself. Tickets during the weekdays is reasonably priced at Rs. 20.00. Doesnt really burn a hole in the pocket. Worth a trip if one can overlook the massive crowd. If this will help, bargaining is the key word for a good deal.

All in all, a fun evening!

Numbers And Fantasy World

I started revising my multiplication tables from this evening because im sad with calculations and dont have any option but to brush it up for some unattainable entrance exams. Thats when i remembered the fantasy world that I had created with these numbers as a child.

All the numbers from 1 to 10 represented different individuals belonging to the same community. 1 to 4 consisted of a socially superior family with 1 as the father, 2 as the mother, 3 the haughty daughter and 4 the nasty brother. I also had another set of family in 5 to 8, where 5 was the pretty and devoted sister and 6 the protective brother. 7 and 8 were parents to 5 and 6. 9 and 10 were friends of 5 and 6. I'd cook up stories between these families where 3 and 4 would harass 5 and 6 because they socially better off, 5 would constantly be vexed and ended up crying everytime any altercation happened between the waring families. Incidently the parents had no role in these conflicts. 1 and 2 were anyway too superior to talk to 7 and 8 and their likes.

So when im trying to remember 6 time 8 i remind myself that this time it's 5's victory over 4...therefore, it is the answer is 45...There are so many more such stories involving these numbers, cant even remeber all of them. Anyway its back to revising the tables!

By the bye, anyone watched the latest Bond flick? Whats it like?

A Birthday Wish:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEETAH

A Situation...

I guess everybody goes through a situation when we know what we ought to do but do the exact opposite. Im supposed to be filling up application forms to various institutes for my masters n here i am watching movies in all my free time!
So since last week i've watched-Million Dollar Baby (had watched it yrs ago with my psycho ex), Bas ek pal (brilliant movie, cried like a baby in the end), Gangster (Shiney is so drool worthy), Shall we dance, Dance with me (made me want to sign up for the next Ball room dance classes. If only i'd meet a richard gereish type of man), Runaway bride (watched it again to stare at Julia Roberts' so-horsey face. Ok all you Roberts' fans i dont quite like her.)
And now i still have another DVD to watch-Pyaar ke side effects. Lets see what the 'great' Jat lass does in this movie.
No i dont spend any money on buying or renting DVDs, its my friendly neighbour who is my source for them :-)
Oh before i get back to watching my movie, for starters, i have bought the forms for FMS. So there im not that 'vella'.

Happy Diwali

hello people happy diwali!!! was working on diwali night. wouldnt complain coz i hate the crackers during this season. so what i did was, get decked up in a mekhla chadar and have fun at work.
i also watched 'Don' on sunday, Shahrukh Khan was so 'drool' worthy! not a bad movie, i liked it!
i bought my much coveted laptop yesterday, yes that was the 23rd of October, 2006. its fun how one goes out with something specific to buy and ends up buying soemthing altogether different! i have been doing r&d on laptops since july with a budget of 30000, deceiding from Compaq V3029 to V3033 to finally V6102. and people its a great buy! bought it for 50000. not a bad price for the configuration(with my limited knowledge of computers):
AMD Turion dual processor, 1GB ram, 100GB hard disk, DVD writer with 15.4" screen
all kicked about exploring the laptop! thats all for today. ciao
