Road to Nobel Prize for Dummies

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 11:34:14 GMT

Physics: I am thinking of 4th law of motion. I want to put it as Newton's Law, Just to maintain the brand name.

Chemistry: I am thinking of converting CO2 to H2O.

Literature: I am thinking about writing a real-life fiction (filled with oxymorons :P) story.

Physiology or Medicine: I am thinking about curing Cancer and/or AIDS.

The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences: I am thinking of a solution for the current economic crisis and remove poverty from the face of this earth.

Peace: Since I am thinking about doing all these things, I wont be able to start attacking whoever I see. That should be enough for me to qualify and win this.

Now I should be getting 6 Nobel Prizes. Do they ship it in Fedex or ordinary mail?

Alfred Nobel: May your soul rest in peace!

SRK ... get real

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 14:02:25 GMT

Farah Khan's reaction
It is shocking that there is not a single Indian working at that US airport and that they don't know Shah Rukh Khan who is one of the biggest stars of the world.

My question to her: wtf should they employ one Indian at the US airport? If thats the case, they should have one person from each nationality working at every single airport. Just because he is a superstar doesnt mean he cannot be questioned/frisked.

Priyanka Chopra' reaction
SRK is a world figure for God's sake. Get real!!

Ms. Chopra I think you need to get real. You might demand he should be given citizenship without any application also. wtf cares?

Ambica Soni (Information and Broadcasting Minister)
"I don't think that this manner of detaining the name of religion is justified. But in the United States of America several examples have surfaced where frisking takes place more than required, according to us"
Its the rule of their land. They want to frisk, they can frisk. Just because we dont frisk everyone, they should follow us.

Senator Kennedy was not allowed to travel in Aug 2004, just because his name appeared on a watchlist. Check the archive here: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/20/national/20flight.html
When a senator in his own country was subjected to something like this, wtf are you Mr. Khan?

When an ordinary person traveling to US can face this kind of situation, wtf we expect double standards for filmstar? Its exactly this kind of bureaucratic mentality that we need to remove from our minds. Just because he has made money and is a public figure, we shouldnt create different rules.

Birth Certificate

I dont have a birth certificate and My dad tried to get one and was unsuccessful from past 2 yrs. I am going to start the process again and document each and every step and record the conversations with the officials and post it on my blog. If I cant get my birth certificate by normal means, I am planning to involve the PRESS also. Any of you have any contacts with PRESS?

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 16:27:21 GMT

So my laptop finally died. It was 3yrs 11months 10 days old.

I am thinking of getting a macbook. With the back to school and student discount offer, I get Macbook for 1000$ with free ipod touch (8Gb) and a printer. Do you think its a good deal?

One of those things ...

The Dark Knight

A MUST WATCH!!!

Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker character is simply amazing.

PS: Its now #1 on IMDB. And it has already broken record collections for midnight screening and also the first day screening. And I am pretty sure, its gonna break all the records and hopefully Titanic's 1.8 ~~Trillion~~ Billion box office collection.

I have been reading Stuff White People Like. One of the most hilarious and sarcastic blog I have ever read. Inspired by this, I am planning to write a series called "Stuff Kool Indians Like". Although, the definition of Kool keeps changing from one entry to the other, it is left to the user to interpret what the Koolness factor is.

Everything should be taken in good spirit. If you find anything offensive, its your problem. As a matter of fact, some of the koolness factors are followed by me also, but whether it comes naturally or its fake, is also left for you to interpret and I dont care.

PS: This will be in the other blog.

World's Billionaires

The interesting fact is, all these four have inherited property, while the other 6 (non-Indians) are self-made.

PS: Mr. Buffet is #1!!!!

Laws of Grad School

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 16:55:11 GMT

Law 1: The homework question becomes clearer as the deadline approaches.

Law 2: No matter how much ever time is given for an homework, you can get it done just before the deadline (even if it is just finding 2+2=4)

MSFT + YHOO = ???

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 16:38:39 GMT

What will be the reaction of YHOO ppl (who were bashing MSFT before) about BSOD?

Do they appreciate it or ask for change in color ... something like YSOD (Yellow screen of death) ... the yellow color filling your screen will surely cause lots of death :P

For all the South Park and Rush fans...
