Support Plagiarism!

when you get a assignment on a topic which you find very boring, say politics, and you are made to write an essay about it for 3000 words, what do you do?

well.. i had to face a similar situation a few days back. i was to write a report on nefarious aggression by noam chomsky.
i m a procrastinator, so even thou the assignment was given two months back, i started reading nefarious aggression just a day before the date of submission. as i went thru the context of the essay, i was dumbstuck as it was based on anti-americanism and gulf war and all related political shit. to make it worse, the essay was quite long, and i knew i would need to drain all my mental energy to complete at least half the essay. apparently, i didnt read the essay.

no guesses for wht i did after facing this situation. i decided to copy stuff abt the reviews of essay by various critics and put it in my report.
copying assignments from the internet (the world most famous source) has become common in everyone's life. and these search engines (google, altavista, yahoo) have made the job even more easier. thus arises the term 'plagiarism'.

Plagiarism, in case you didn't know, is a Latin word that means "too lazy to do my own writing." Plagiarism is considered unethical, dishonest, and just about the hottest hobby on the Internet. Students are notorious for plagiarizing research papers for their projects(atleast i dont do tht).

coming back to my situation.
i finish writing a report somehow after 3 hours of hardwork (copying the write stuff from the internet is not easy, for ur kind information). my friend, who also was supposed to submit the same assignment, came along with his report. when i read it, i was shocked to find tht he has used the same website to copy the material. and he copied ditto, without even changing the
format of source. atleast i ended up editing the material and put up summary in points so that i dont get busted by my professor.

when i submitted my report, the professor read it and praised for my hard work. hehe. i have become so good at plagiarizing reports. this has helped me finish the report on time, plus to get rid of the unnecessary tension of reading the whole essay.
now tell me, is plagiarising advantageous or not? hehehe

Thats Why I Hate You!

(this blog was meant to bring some humor and should not be taken seriously)

recently, i had come across many blogs which contained different traits of men and women, in general. so i m writing this one, to bring on a gender debate :)

due to differences in their way of thinking and opinions, ther always flames up heated argument or hatred towards the other. me goin to point out reasons why each hate the other. before mentioning, i would like to say tht all the points i m going to put are my opinion and my opinion alone. i m not generalizing it to all people.

why men hate women:
>> they get fussy on small issues and get tensed. they act too dumb on the most trivial things in life. (actually, women are dumb, and men know tht)
>> they crave for more attention from men unnecesarily.
>> they waste their time shopping and end up buying nothin or the most useless product.
>> they are very fussy abt their looks. makeup, dress, etc. just who the hell cares!
>> they get sentimental too easily. and sometimes use it to their advantage.
>> they never do their job right, and blame everyone around, except themselves, for it.
>> they get jealous on the mention on other female's name. female fights are like cat fights.

why women hate men:
(had to think a lot for possible reasons. i dont have a womens psychology!, u know)
>> they dont care about others, and just live their lives.
>> they usually never ask for help from strangers, and never really help others too, unless it suits his own needs.
>> they dont indulge themselves in deep conversations. rarely share their feelings. and never hang around for a long time.
>> they sometimes act really weird and try to show off in front of other women.
>> they are very impatient. always want to do things quickly without giving it a second thought.
>> they always turn up late for any normal fixed meetings. plus, they never seem to remember birthdates, or any special occasions.

i couldnt think of any more possible reasons than the above mentioned. as rightly said, men really dont understand women ever. and i guess, its true the other way round too. (ok, somewht)
few might have other opinions too. will update the hate reasons list as soon as i get some feedbacks.

p.s: while writing the above crap, i was not biased with either men or women. so please dont flame me for this.

Yantra : My new Mantra

finally.., and i mean it, the long wait in front of the placement office is over. after 5 bumps from different companies, most of which i narrowly missed & kinda regret abt it, i have finally been accepted by a company. now i dont have to visit the placement office notice board ever again. you have no idea how much relief it is. now i can proudly say, i m not jobless any more.

well.. the lucky company, which has acquired my services at least for the next 2 years, is some software based company called Yantra Solutions. actually speaking, i sat for the company without looking at its profile. i was so desparate, fused with extra pressure from parents, tht i decided i will sit for any local company which comes by. but after getting the job, i realised tht the company is a MNC dealing with solutions for business retailers. not bad for someone who has deep interest in business and finance. to make to better, the center is placed in bangalore (supposedly the pseudest place in india, next to mumbai).

the selection process consisted of two tests and an interview. the tests: aptitude and technical were both for 30 min each. i cracked the aptitude and did pretty well in tech too according to my standards. as expected i got shortlisted for the interview. now this was the crucial stage for me, as i got dumped in interview in all my 5 previous instances, even thou i managed to do pretty well in the last 3.

the interview was total messed up parody. my interview was scheduled at 3pm, but i ended up goin at 4:30 pm. lol. i thought i had to wait till the end now, since i missed my chance. but luckily, he called me as soon as i came in.
inside the hall, was a scene i cant describe in a few sentence. so i have decided to make it a play. me the convict and the interviewers are the jury.

~SCENE BEGINS~
stage torture room:
convict sweats all over, totally messed up.
opens the door

convict: may i come in
jury: ya! make urself comfortable

(thinks)thank god! a set of pleasent interviewers
goes near his torture chair to sit.

jury(suddenly): stand up!! and talk abt a few minutes on any topic
convict bulbs totally. surprised at the strange reception.
convict: but but...
jury: whats ur favorite hobby?
convict: football (b4 i could even think, it came outta my mouth)
jury: then talk abt pele
convict (nods): ok! i will try
thinks for a few secs... ok ok ,acts like thinking
convict : blah blah blah
jury (in a cold voice): good
convict pleased with himself, sits on the chair
(thinks)well, at least the first impression was good

jury: so wher are you from?
convict: mumbai. actually not exactly in mumbai, but on its suburbs. its a place called anushakti nagar. situated close to chembur.
jury stares at the convict
(thinks) did i speak out too much? shit!
jury: tell me a few buses which goes thru tht route
convict: ??????
convict: sir, but ther are many buses which goes by (wht a foolish reply)
jury nods his head in disbelief.
convict: 92, 371, 355, 374. etc etc etc.
jury: wher does the 371 bus go?
convict: bandra
jury: is it a limited bus?
(thinks) now WTF is he asking me all this nonsense
convict: i guess so
jury: whts a limited bus?
now this is one think the convict had never realised or cared.
convict (head hung up): i have no idea
jury: is the no. written in black or red
convict: actually, i have never noticed it
jury again shakes his head. changes the topic

jury: do you know anythin abt the company?
convict: i missed the PPT (pre placement talk)
jury: why?
convict: sir, i slept off
wow! wht a reply. the fool couldnt think of a better excuse.
jury: hmm...
jury places a bottle of aquafina bottle on the table,
jury: what is this?
convict: aquafina bottle
jury smirks
jury: no, wht is this?
convict: water
jury laughs, big time
jury: ok. considering you as the customer and me as the company, wht would this be?
convict: product??
jury: thank god! yes, u r right
jury then starts to go on his explanation of working of the company.
convict keeps nodding, even thou he doesnt understand a word he said.
finally..
jury: did u understand anythin?
convict: very much saar!

jury: why do you want to work for this company?
ah! this is one question which was expected and convict was ready with a clever answer.
convict (confidently, for the first time): i would love to work for such a company.. blah blah blah
jury feels satisfied
jury: ok! thank you for ur time here!
convict:huh?
(thinks)but its been only freaking 15 min in his hall
jury: haha!! dont worry boy! we are selecting you on the basis of ur test. so dont worry.
convict shakes hand with jury.. and walks out of the hall.
~SCENE ENDS~

this was not the interview i had expected. but i came out very pleased with wht he said at the end. cause i had done really well in the tests.
but still the tension was mounting! luck has deserted me in all my previous placements. and i didnt want to miss the bus. god finally paid answered my prayers. i got the job. yay!

the convict now sets of to bangalore after 2 months from now on his new quest for glory :LOL:. hope i dont have to experience the torture which i faced in my college.

My Life @ Blogosphere

well.. i started blogging a few months back. at the time, when i registered in blogger, i didnt know wht to do. i was wondering whether i would b able to devote time for all these. my friend who lives a couple of rooms away from me, used to blog everyday. and i used to wonder from wher he gets all the patience. one fine day, when i was totally jobless, i decided to blog. after a couple of boring posts, i decided to write abt da vinci code, on which i had a discussion with my friend. then suddenly, some arbit blogger comes to my blog, and posts a comment. i was shocked first, but then i was pleased tht somebody had read my blog. soon, i started receiving comments. this propelled me to write more fart blogs. after all these, i realised tht blogging is a new world in itself. i soon became a part of this bloggers familie.

my journey in blogosphere is turning out to be a pleasant one. i have come across many great blogs. a few of them, i am goin to mention here.
some of the blogs i admire very much:
my best friend ramsub[madthinker.blogspot.com] well.. he is a philosophical thinker. most of his blogs are religious based. sometimes comes up with really good posts. an avid blogger.
the blogger, who first commented on my post, Jute[thetwit.blogspot.com]. she, in brief, is a controversial writer (lol) who stands by her views. when she gets into flow, no one can compete with her in blogging. never underestimate the ability of a twit.
a guy who i have met of heard of. but i recently came to know tht he stays in the hostel next to mine. prashanth[prashanthpoetry.blogspot.com] writes amazing poems. me learning how to write poems from his blog.
a collegemate turned writer by profession, anshumani[anshumani.blogspot.com]. a very good creative writer. but has decreased his frequency of blogging.
an unknown blogger named xena[xenasmessycorner.blogspot.com]. her story writing ability coupled with some really good pics are unbelievable. makes the blog look very lively.
someone i met in orkut, in tlte, kiddo[mycrazyhome.blogspot.com] she has the potential to be the next gulzar. dunno wher do they get such talent from.

other blogs which i often visit are sangeeta[toerag.blogspot.com], devilish_angel[ahemahem.blogdrive.com] shes a lil devil who haunts all blogs, teddy_tabs[staroftheorient.blogspot.com], ash_mistress[phantasiesofutopia.blogspot.com],
pisku[thoselittlethingsthatislife.blogspot.com], shantanu[shantanumuses.blogspot.com], krish[netrikkan.blogspot.com].
i m amazed at how these guyz manage to write some amazing blogs frequently. me have lotsa fun reading them. they are the ones who keep the indian blogging atmosphere very much alive and kicking.

last but not the least, the blog which inspired me to open mine in the first place. tipsy[confessome.blogspot.com] i visit her blog often, even thou some of her blogs do not match the calibre of indian bloggers (she is gonna kill me for this). her non rhyming poems are so funny, which inspired to me to start writing poetry. her secret, lotsa chocolates. hope u eat them and keep blogging. way to go, tipsy.

i actually opened a blog for improving my creative writing. even thou i have realised, its not gonna help me in tht dept. i have lotsa fun writin and reading other blogs.
happy blogging!

Faith: My Perception

few days back, the pope died. pope was considered not only as a religious leader, but as a world leader. he stood against various evils like communism, imperialism, capital punishment, terrorism etc. nothwithstanding, he presided over the roman catholic church at the vatican for almost 30 years. to this great man & spiritual leader, i salute.

well.. i came across a blog about pope's death. instead of commiserating on his death, the blogger kept mentioning pope is not essential for the religious beliefs to continue. then came the confllict between the church and religion. in this blog, i will be mentioning abt importance of church and the concept of faith.

to start of with, the creation of church was due to a religion called christianity. A religion is created when a group of people have same faith. It can be term as an organization or community of people following the same ideology. as far as christianity goes, the faith was brought up by Jesus christ himself. Ther were small number of followers at his time. as time passed by, more and more people started believing in the faith and converted into this religion. the church was built to spread this faith and belief all over the world. and it has been serving its purpose till date.

religion and faith go hand in hand. without faith or belief, ther cannot exist religion. Faith is a belief of existence of the supreme god. and religion is the practice which is being followed to maintain faith.

as for church, its one of the means of promoting faith. i consider this as an important means too cause it brings togetherness. people have the misconception that going to church is essential to show their faith towards god. but i dont agree with this. one can communicate with god thru his own heart if he has strong belief. but most people dont have such strong faith., therby making the purpose of church essential.

Many religions emphazise the importance of faith to people thru various customs and rituals. and the church plays a very important role in conducting the above mentioned. In a modern world, where science and technology has conquered the minds of people, its very important tht faith is maintained, and i strongly believe that church makes sure the faith remains.

faith, religion, and church are interconnected. yet weakly. without the church, the religion would still survive and faith would still remain. but the absence of church, means weakening of faith. it will diminish gradually.
this question was well put up in dan brown's Da Vinci Code. now i ask: what will happen if all the theories put up by dan brown turns out to be true?? the roman catholic church will surely fall they were the one who modified the bible. but will the faith in people who follow the religion, still remain??

Many of them associate themselves with an organized religion because they see the religious community as a means of maintaining and strengthening their Faith in fellowship with other believers. and they see the church organization as a means of preserving their faith.

pope was the leader of the roman catholic church for so many years. he has maintained peace all over the world and has proved to be a able leader. his contributions towards christianity should not be underestimated.

A New Day Beckons

well.. i m giving a shot to write my first poem ever.. hope its not my last.. lolz
i m new to this department.. and i very much suck at poetry..
i read my own poem.. and couldnt stop lolzing.. so i suggest you be well prepared with handkerchiefs and stuff.. just in case ;)

when the sun rises
a new hope arises
bringing you a day
full of surprises!

a new obstacle stumbles upon you
and you wonder, what to do
but hopes cometh & light it threw
you finish the journey without much ado

satisfied with your day
you go to bed and lay
and before u say adieu to the day
to the almighty, you thank & pray

well.. this was the best i could come up with for today

any suggestions to improve my poetry are welcome. :)

p.s: this poem was inspired by one of my friends who doesnt know how to rhyme.. LOLz
