Graduation dreams ;)

When is the first time you had dreamed about, seeing yourself as an Engineer or a doctor? May be I realized to become one of them after watching the graduation ceremonies in the movies, where they throw their caps high enough and later they need to search for their cap(silly fellows). I don't know about you guys, but I was destined to become atleast an engineer if not a doctor the day I was born :). That is what I was told by my mother. ( I wonder how, may be I was radiating jubilantly sane knowledge, lolz). And its time that I prove to my parents that I am worth as their child. How ? Its simple I shouldn't have waited this long and wasted money to reach here. Follow the steps carefully,

1. Grab a friends graduate gown mostly by begging or steal it if he is not lending it.
2. Buy a SONY digi cam ( I am a big fan of Sony gadgets).
3. Beg a friend who can take decent pictures, if not willing treat him. ( he will )
4. Select a no man zone and start shooting the pics.

I told you right, as simple as making an omelet. Shouldn't have studied this hard right ! huuh!
Here are my graduation dream pics,
sorry, had to remove pictures... :D copyright issues.
Posing as a HERO -------------Trying to look Zulu ------------ What are friends for ?

Folks, hang on all this is a big hoax I never graduated, hopefully I would graduate this summer. I started writing my thesis ( writing sucks ), I needed a break so all this followed in.
To all my friends who graduated Well DONE and All the best in future. You made your parents proud. Good luck.

Tit bits: I thought I would give the best songs of the month in every blog I write. Hope you would like them too. Here they are
a) Bo Bic , The real thing ( Male vocal)
b) Dixie Chicks , I'm not gonna be nice to you ( chicks implies female, do I need to tell more )
c) Daniel Powter, Had a bad Day ( I like the video, go watch it)

P.S. All the pictures above are copyrighted.

 
 

I won Cryptex ! gooooooogle


yep ! I won a cryptex which is a replica of the one used in the movie Da Vinci Code, directed by Ron Howard. (He is also one of my favourite directors, starred himself in Happy days as Richie Cunningham, if you havn't watched happy days till date, I cant help you, my only advice "get out and watch it" ). Anyways as a titbit here is a pic of my precious cryptex :-)

The game is conducted by google sponsered by sony.

 
 

All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten

All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at school.
These are the things I learned:

* Share everything.
* Play fair.
* Don't hit people.
* Put things back where you found them.
* Clean up your own mess.
* Don't take things that aren't yours.
* Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
* Wash your hands before you eat.
* Flush.
* Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
* Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work [and sleep] every day some.
* Take a nap every afternoon [but not in the living room].
* When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
* Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
* Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
* And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.

Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.

Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.

And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

Confidence !

I enjoyed this mail from one of my friends, which tells us what is confidence ? Go through it and you will feel better or more confident ;)

What is confidence ????

A hypothetical situation where 20 executives board an airplane and are told that the flight that they are about to take is the first-ever to feature pilotless technology: It is an uncrewed aircraft. Each one of the CEOs is then told, privately, that their company's software is running the aircraft's automatic pilot system. Nineteen of the CEOs promptly leave the aircraft, each offering a different type of excuse.

One CEO alone remains on board the jet, seeming very calm indeed.Asked why he is so confident in this first uncrewed flight, he replies : "If it is the same software that runs my company's IT systems, this plane won't even take off." !!!!

That is called Confidence!!! :)
