Indian Constructors Killed in Afghanistan - Top 5 Wikileaks till now

1. Indians Killed in Afghanistan

After the infamous aftermath in Afghanistan by the US, Afghan President Hamid Karzai & his Council decided to rebuild the demolished infrastructure of Afghanistan. Karzai signed few tenders with the Indian Builders to rebuild roads & offices in Kabul & in other adjacent states from 2008 till further. According to the cable releases by the Whistleblower - Wikileaks, several Indians Constructors & workers were killed by the Pakistan Forces & other insurgent groups in the span of 2 years. While on the other hand the Afghan Government are denying this fact altogether & claiming that Wikileak facts are nebulous & are here to abhor the India & Afghanistan relationship.

2. American Soldiers  Killed Civilians in Iraq

Horrifying video footage showing 15 people including two Reuters journalists being shot dead by a US Army Apache helicopter gunman, taken from the helicopter's gun camera, appalled the world when it was released on Wikileaks.

The crew were heard laughing at the "dead b-----ds" and saying "light 'em up!" and "keep shooting, keep shooting". 

The US military has refused to discipline the helicopter's crew, saying that there were "insurgents and reporters in an area where US forces were about to be ambushed.

"At the time we weren't able to discern whether (Reuters employees) were carrying cameras or weapons."

The brother of one of the dead Reuters journalists was sceptical: "My question is how could those highly skilled American pilots with all their hi-tech information not distinguish between a camera and a rocket launcher." 

3. Sarah Palin’s Email Account
During the 2008 Presidential campaign, the private Yahoo email account of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin was hacked, revealing that she was using it for official business. It was alleged that this was in part to avoid American public record laws.

Well, According to the US Laws no Government official can use anything privately during the tenure of his/her service to the United States & more importantly not during the Elections/Campaigning. Even President Obama's Blackberry is being scrutinized regularly by The White House Officials.

Now what the hell she was doing...that only she or God knew.

Shoddy Indian Journalism - Top 5 Wikileaks till now

4. Guantanamo Bay operating procedures - HELL ON EARTH 

Now this I termed as Barbaric.

To the inkling fact if heaven exists on earth then so does HELL!!!...Guantanamo Bay is one such thing. Its a so called famous prison of United States.

The "Standard Operating Procedures for Camp Delta", the US Army manual for soldiers dealing with prisoners at Camp Delta, was released on Wikileaks. Human rights groups were concerned to discover that according to official guidelines, prisoners could be denied access to the Red Cross/Health Services for up to four weeks. It also showed that inmates could earn "special rewards" for good behavior and cooperation - and that one such "reward" was a roll of toilet paper. 

They were not allowed even to get a TOILED PAPER!!!!

5. Shoddy Indian Journalism

You do not need to be a journalist to understand the basic premise of ethics, which starts with
protecting victims first; and that is done by avoiding key information from being aired publicly - such as but not limited to revealing the number of possible people still in, the hideouts of hostages & people stuck in building.

• In one instance Barkha Dutt asked a husband about his wife being stuck, or held as a hostage. The poor guy adds in the end about where she was last hiding. And that Info get Aired! My dear friends with AK-47s, our national news is helping you. Go get those still in. And be sure to thank NDTV for not censoring this bit of information. The terrorists were watching this on Television, they came down from where they were in a lift after hearing about them on TV.
  
• Another instance, during the Kargil conflict, Indian Army sources repeatedly complained to her channel that she was giving away locations in her broadcasts, thus causing Indian casualties.
• In fact, Hemant Karkare died because these channels showed him prepare (wear helmet, wear bullet-proof vest.) in excruciating detail live on television. And they in turn targeted him where he was unprotected. The brave officer succumbed to bullets in the neck.
  

What the Hell is this goin on man!!!!....

In the interval of this story US warned Julian Assange, the father of Wikileaks, to stop publishing the statements & the work is being marked as illegal. Though he is now hailed as ‘Rising Star’ of investigative journalism by a section of the media.

Glossary:

Pagalguy.com: It is a famous website for the MBA preparation.

Prometric: Company conducting online CAT on behalf of the IIM's.

Note: Its a bit boring part because i have to write the mistakes as brief as possible, so its your choice to read it or skim it.

PART 2: My Center was closed

Now its 3 days before CAT.

19/11/2010

"Who the hell is disturbing me. Who is there, damn it, stop pounding me you cold handsss..."

"Wake up bhaiya, your mom ordered me to put cold wet hands on your face."

"Leave me...leave me alone chandu i am not over yet"

"Bhaiya, its already over...you are overslept again today & by the way you have a phone call from some Sushmitaaa...of a male voice"

"Whats the time now? & its not sushmita chandu its Sush stop looking me like i am a Homosexual"

"Its 12:30pm & only 3 days are left for your CAT. & please don't call him Sush...its sushant"

"Ohh shittttt...ohh shittt...time is running time is running...i haven't even revised Quant wholly...please goddd have some patience...have some patience"

Well, chandu is our servant's son, always obeying & nevertheless mischievous.

Me on phone with Sush: Your call is on hold please stay on the line. Your call is on hold please stay on the line.

Sush: Come on you stupid i know your voice, give up now.

Me: ya whats the matter sush, stop calling me now i am a busy man.

Sush: ya i know how much you are busy...duh. I want to inform you that we haven't yet downloaded our Admit card, so if you some time call prometric & retrieve our passwords. It slipped of my mind.

Me: Ok i will do that, even i forget mine.

Sush gave me the number of Prometric. It was 1-800-xxx-9293 & i mistakenly dialed 1-800-xxx-2993 instead.

Operator: Hello Sir, how many kids do you have?

Me: I am unmarried sir. And does it have any significance with my enrollment.

Operator: Yes it does obviously.

I was wondering how come IIM were concerned about how nay kids did i have..!!!

Then after some discussion i got to know that i dialed a wrong number to some prep school for infants.

I put down the phone, checked the number & now this time it was prometric. I got our passwords & gave this to Sush & we printed our Admit Cards.

20/11/2010

Two days before CAT.

As i was a last minute person i thought i should practice some questions to get the feel of the paper. I solved 50 odd questions of English & out of that 50, 38 went wrong. Moreover i got a message from Roy that he had scored 98%tile in a Mock Test which we gave a week before, in which i scored a dismal 92. It heightened me & my preparation fumbled. In a rush to revise everything on the last days, everything went wrong. Nothing was on the track, atleast it looked like.

21/11/2010

A Day before my CAT.

I was on Pagalguy the whole day, practiced as much as i could & gained some momentum though. In order to revise everything, i forgot to sleep on time & went to bed at 5 in the morning, read the line again...at 5 in the morning, whereas i had to leave my house at 11:30 in the morning in order to write my paper which was scheduled on 3:30pm. So there were just 6hours left. I slept for 4 hours & woke up at 9 & got ready till 11.

22/11/2010

D-Day.

Note: Our center was at Under Construction Badarpur Metro Station & we had to put down at Sarita Vihar which was 2 stations prior to it. 

As me & Sushant had opted for the same center & same timing so i planned to meet him in Sarita Vihar Metro Station at 1:20pm. The reporting time was half past 1 & our exams was on 3:30pm. To add further, we were on NH-2, no bus nothing so we thought its just about 2 damn metro stations & so planned to take a stroll.

After 25minutes of walk.

"It seems i am gonna die walking G."

"I think we have done a blunder. We forgot to check the location on Google Maps Sush. Its our prejudice that the stations should be nearby but its not."

We talked to one of the passer by & confirmed that the distance between our venue & Sarita Vihar is of 6 kilometers. & we only had covered 2km mere.

Around 2:15pm we were there on the gate of the Delhi Business School, walked around an hour, & nobody was there outside of the Venue & it seemed that the building was closed.

The Building was Closed!!!!...

7 things you shouldn't do before writing CAT - My CAT Story: Part 1/3: Registration Done

Glossary:

CAT: Common Admission Test, is amongst the most prominent way for every graduate student in India to fulfill their dreams to get into the top B-Schools in India. To register for it, a voucher is to be bought from the Axis Bank & the alphanumeric code of the voucher is to be put in the CAT website.

Delhi Metro: Public Transport system in Delhi.

7 things you shouldn't do before writing CAT

PART 1: Registration Done

Year 2011, I will graduate from my college.
Year 2010, I attempted my first online CAT.
Well, I have to start somewhere, and what better than the day when i went to the Axis Bank to get my Voucher Coupon for the Registration. The distribution of the same started from 30th August 9a.m. I got a phone call from my friend Roy on 3 O' clock that its been started from morning & i had to rush because it was very important to get the voucher on first day otherwise i won't get any nearby Test-center.

Ok before starting it let me tell you who actually Roy & Sushant is, apart from my friends. Roy is a kinda guy which is characterized as a chocolate boy, always with girls, if not with them then definitely on phone, never back down attitude & often score a decent marks in the exams. On the other hand Sush is a frustrated guy, always in tense mood, no girls nothing, abdicates when in crunch situation & born with decayed grades.
      Me(On telephone): hey man wassup, where have you been these days damn it, you din't show up anywhere?
      Roy: yea right i was dancing with the paparazzi these days capturing Lindsay Lohan you wanna do the same? Obviously I am busy with my CAT Preparation.
      Me: Ok buddy chill chill, what’s the matter why you called me? Did your girlfriend ditch you once again. I wonder why you always run after...
He interrupted me & continued with an abominated breath.
      Roy: Look listen don't ever again tell me what to do, its been thousand times you spoke these lines & its been million times i told you not to say anything about my girlfriend. I called you to tell that the CAT Registration is starting today , so you have to rush.
He explained me why it is necessary to get the registration done on the first day.
      Me: God Forbidden can't you call me in the morning before you got your voucher, look man if i don't get my voucher today i am gonna kill you & its definite. Its 3 O'clock already & i haven't even bathed you Rascal.

I bid him an agonized goodbye, bathed & to hurry things up i forgot to put my shoes & went to the Bank in slippers. The time was 10minutes to 4. When i reached there a regular Security Guard was standing in front of the entrance watching me like i am an alien, wearing unmatched clothes with red slippers & freaking out. The Watchman looked like a demon from cheap mythological TV Shows - six feet tall, over a hundred kilos, big mustache & Huge teethes.  Although he inspired terror, he spoke little & was busy shutting down the main door of the bank.

"Sir, can you tell me where should i get the CAT Voucher for its registration"? I inquired.
"You can't get that today. Its 4 O' clock now & the bank is closed." He answered. Axis bank has its Public Dealing timing from 9:30am to 3:30pm.
"Its not possible sir, actually seriously not. I have to register online otherwise i probably not get the nearest center." I explained.
"Whatever may be the case, there is only one way left with that you can register your candidature....." He answered. 

I was actually thinking he might permit me to go in & for that i have to bribe him. I checked my wallet & found my old forgotten Rs.340 which i saved long before to pay debt to Roy & thought it's already a very less amount & i had to give it to him now finally ultimately. Shittt man i had to....My heart cried.

He continued, "there is only one way left with that you can register your candidature, is that you have to come tomorrow morning at 8:30 & you have to hurry because there will be a long queue in front of the bank for that."

The conversation continued till some minutes until i got hopeless & agitated. I too offered him some money, some Rs.40 for that matter & he simply ignored. Simply IGNORED like he was thinking you were giving 40 bucks to buy some chips for me, 40 damn bucks to bribe me..!!! :D

I ranged Sushant, one of my friends who too was giving CAT & i was sure he too dint go on a first day. I explained him the urge & significance to get the registration as early as possible & we planned to land in Axis Bank sharp 8 O'clock tomorrow to get in queue first.

Now its 31st August. As we planned, we reached the bank sharp 8:15a.m.

“Sir, Can you please tell me the procedure to get the CAT Voucher”, Sushant to the watchman standing outside the Bank.
“Its quarter pass eight son. You have to wait for two hours at least to get that. The Bank is not opened yet”, watchman replied.
“But you told me to come at 8:30 yesterday”, I protested & Watchman ignored us like I was lying.
“Look G i am gonna put this in really straight lines. You are an Asshole. You called me to be here at 8 in the morning because there must be a queue of applicants but where the damn is your queue”, Sushant to me.
“Sush, he told me to be here at 8:30 I swear man I swear on anything & I don’t know why other applicants dint come by now”, I explained.

So for the next 15minutes Sush explained me why I was an asshole & we spent the rest of the time sitting on the stairs of the Bank, seeing the other aspirants who came there at 9, & waiting for the Bank to open. The clock clicked 10 & finally we had our Voucher. We both went to my home & opened the catiim.in site for the registration. I was the first who filled the online form & because we were late in getting the voucher there were no slots left of November weekends of the nearest center & we dint wish to write our CAT on weekdays due to conflicting dates with the college exams.
So now we had only two options left either opt any weekday & pray to god or to choose any other center which was far from our abode. We checked the catiim site & found a center named "Delhi Business School, Badarpur Border". We chose it thinking that we could have the option of going there by metro, so it won't be hectic to find this center. SO FROM NOW ON MY CHAOS BEGAN. I filled our forms & the Registration was done.

Life in a metro...

Well i was actually answering to someone in her blog & thought to share that too in mine...

First of all its not a reciting of any movie & not even any famished storyline, its just an incident which i saw when i traveled one afternoon in Delhi Metro. To all those who are not familiar with what Delhi Metro is, it is by far the most easiest & comfortable transport system in Delhi, much paralleled with the Mumbai Local & can connect you to any place in the Capital.........if its not the regular peak hours...errrr...

And to add this, Delhi Metro has just now implemented a new rule under which first few coaches are reserved for the females.....that actually means if you are by chance a male, by chance... :D, then you shouldn't board that coaches...:P

So to begin with, its a usual Weekend for me. I was coming back from my MBA classes of Career launcher. I board the train from Rajeev Chowk & what i saw, was heart rending. The metro was about to start & i saw some ladies beating a guy of age 28 years or so, because he probably did some unmannerly thing which actually complimented by his looks & which should be done. Overhairy, a typical gunda style & so & so commented. Then in the meantime a usual bell of metro rang & door was about to close when someway a young IIT Aspirant jumped into the 1st coach. As the upstairs land him in front of first initial "FEMALE Coaches" so he had to hurry & he got in, thinking that he would shift to the later coaches. But as & when he stepped into the 1st coach, 3-4 ladies beated him like anything & pushed him to the later coaches thinking that he was one amongst those brats who just left & being beaten by her. The Incidence carried on till they got to know that they all were bereft with some breath & the student was crying. Everyone was amused to see that incidence & saw that with engrossed eyes.The student later moved to the following apartment with swallow lips.

No fault but beaten!!!...LIFE IN A METRO...

IITs Rule Overall while others Catch up in the field of Educational Technology

Into its sixth year, the Dataquest-IDC T-School Survey in 2010 comes up with its annual ranking of the top technology schools in the nation. This is the only survey engineering colleges targeted at employers not students.

As far as we all know IITs always rack up to the top, ruling the roost, undoubtedly the best Engineering facilities with phenomenal infrastructure & RnD Support. Set up under the Institutes of Technology Act 1963, for many years IIT Kharagpur, IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, and IIT Roorkee were the seven IITs in India that were termed as National Institutes of Importance. Eventually, for a nation which is so huge in every dimension, the need was felt for some more institutes of high standard technology education.



While there were 29 new entries into the Top 100 T-School list, IIT Bombay led the pack and was adjudged the best Technology School in the country. IIT Delhi grabbed the 2nd rank by pushing down IIT Kharagpur to the 3rd place followed by IIT Madras. Not to be forgotten, IIT Kharagpur was at the top position of the list for the last three successive years. While 6 out of the top 10 ranks were occupied by IITs alone; IIIT Hyderabad, BITS Pilani, NIT Surathkal, and IT-BHU Varanasi took the other 4 places in the list.

With most surprising is the entries of colleges like Amity University, Noida, College of Engineering, Pune & Maharaja Agrasen Institute of College, New Delhi amongst the others.

Top universities surely do have their advantages. For example, many of the top ten schools have more funds and thus better research facilities or quality of student life. Since a university is an essential investment for the students future, both students and their parents want to ensure that they are getting the best deal. As per the Dataquest-IDC T-School Survey 2010, the total tuition fees for IIT Bombay is `274,926, and that of BITS Pilani and IIIT Hyderabad are `40,000. While there is no denying that degrees from prestigious

Calling us by our real name

Its United (or) Manchester United (or) MUFC (or) Red Devils (or) Man Utd but never  MANu/MANyoo

ManU - The Usage

Manu is not a term united fans refer themselves to. The name was coined by rival fans after the munich disaster where 8 first team members lost their lives along with 15 others (support staff & journalists)

'Manu' is not a referral! Its an insult to the dead.
The reason why noobs refer to united as manyoo stems from the display name that Espn-Star has in store for us.(the abbreviated name for united = manu) + (their ignorance about the munich incident)

History

After the munich disaster, when united travelled to other clubs the following season, they were subjected to chants of

'manyoo manyoo went on a plane, manyoo manyoo never came back again'

(and) Man U Never Intended Coming Home again. Take the first letter of each word and it amounts to munich.
This was in direct reference to the munich incident.

Rival clubs

WBA fans were the first to taunt united with the chants above. They also came up with

'Who's that lying in the aircraft' and 'Who's that team we call United' .
further, chants of 'duncan duncan rotting on a plane, duncan duncan never came back again' also sprang up when united played against WBA.

The same was heard @ spurs, chelsea,millwall.

Then liverpool picked it up. some of the fans chanted the same but were quickly refuted by the majority of the other liverpool fans who were present in the stadium. An apology was issued by the kop fans to their united counterparts.
However, by the end of the decade (70's) it became universal and the term "man u" became the word nearly every other team's fans used and painted on walls

Everyone knew what it meant.It was laughter at the death of Duncan and the Babes

The Present

Over the years, petitions have been filed against Espn/Star, requests have been sent to change the same, signature campaigns have been launched by different forums. Actions into the same have been promised by media houses.
Its not about a club. I'm not here scripting this article because it concerns Manchester United.
It counts for zilch whether its about arsenal, liverpool, hammers, toffees, spurs, crankfield crackers or manchester united.

The term mocks death and the usage of which is simply unacceptable.

P.S: Informative source from PagalGuy.com

To begin with....

It took me almost 2-3 hours to decide what to write on my first blog post. I mean this seriously got me a lot of hemorrhage. Though i began with searching this on the Google, "what should be the first blog post". Well to be frank i am kinda guy who rarely writes, forget about the blog & reading actually restricted by me to frontline & The Hindu, special thanks to my Dad here... :D

In a sense of bewildering & belittlement, i got some links in which blogger actually explained what should be your first blog post, :D, i mean one should answer "Who are you", "your purpose of blogging", "& blah blah... "...  I mean com’on dude I myself really dont like to read this kinda stuff on some other blog post , ‘coz these are the part of Introduction section isn’t it .

And the most funniest thing is that those who gives this solution, they themselves started their blog with some other topic.

So for me its kinda tough, if that word suffices my apprehension, to write something & publish it on a blog which should be readable & presentable...  presentable...Oh Goddd... ;)

So cut short, I landed up here because somehow i really wanted to write & share my thought somewhere. There are some issues on which i think i have a off the track view points, so a blog i think is a cool option for this & side by side you can also improve your language. So till next post with some invigorating thoughts.

A Ballade of Suicide - a poem by G.K.Chesterton

One of the best poems i have ever read...

The gallows in my garden, people say,
Is new and neat and adequately tall;
I tie the noose on in a knowing way
As one that knots his necktie for a ball;
But just as all the neighbours on the wall
Are drawing a long breath to shout "Hurray!"
The strangest whim has seized me. . . After all
I think I will not hang myself to-day.

To-morrow is the time I get my pay
My uncle's sword is hanging in the hall
I see a little cloud all pink and grey
Perhaps the rector's mother will NOT call
I fancy that I heard from Mr. Gall
That mushrooms could be cooked another way
I never read the works of Juvenal
I think I will not hang myself to-day.

The world will have another washing-day;
The decadents decay; the pedants pall;
And H.G. Wells has found that children play,
And Bernard Shaw discovered that they squall;
Rationalists are growing rational
And through thick woods one finds a stream astray,
So secret that the very sky seems small
I think I will not hang myself to-day.
