and the kisaan talks!!!

my response to shanky's response!!


Although I have quit playing farmville (after playing madly for a week)....but as I have a lot of free time so here goes farmville 2 in response to http://sr-itbhu.blogspot.com/2010/11/jai-jawan-jai-kisaan.html : 

* you cant do anything destructive in the game
- You can be destructive by being non constructive !!
--destroying others not yourself!
* its more of brotherly (or sisterly) love. the more you share the more you win!
- Not necessary . You can go the dhanendra soni way!
--and see where it leads! within a week he would have been with the lowest level!

* the game is as aimless as my life (maybe even more if thats possible!)
-If it wasnt aimless we wouldnt have being playing it :P
--no you play many a game with aim too (_which have a end_). think COD

* you get a lot of ribbons to decorate your farm (and come to think of it thats the aim of the game!)
-Who would miss 10k gold and 1k experience..and sadly we cant decorate those ribbons!
--a1 told me you can decorate with ribbons :(

* wheat is the cheapest
-cheap but low money+xp/per hour
--cheap!

* berries give maximum profit and grow quickly (heard a lot about raspberries)
-to grow berries you should be ready to abandon anything you might be doing when your berries are ready to be harvested!! Eating ,drinking, movies,talking anything!!
--my point still valid



* you need a lot of friends (a good way to add girls you wanna talk to :P)
-Not exactly as a LOT of those "girls" are 30+
--but surely some would be there under 30! and some of 50 million is good enough :P

* you keep sending gifts all the time
-Not necessary as given above
--dhaniya doesnt count!

* you keep refreshing the page to claim the gifts all the time
-If you havent got a good connection dont start playing!!
--you played for a week on bhu connection. if youre mad you can play even on mobile!

* you can have a farm size of max 28x28 (but that too aint the aim of the game!)
-Well the game IS supposed to be aimless ,then why should it strive to have an aim!!
--for a good dignified end (compare smallville to avatar)

* every time you grow something you have to do 400+ clicks thrice! (ofc depends on farm size)
-WEll, we have a LOT of free time so whats the harm :P
-cant argue

* everyone is too poor to use the tractor/harvester/seeder
-As I said LOTS nd LOTS of free time + we should ALWAYS avoid using up petrol when we can walk :P
--will remember that next time we goto spicy or for that matter anywhere else! and never say you dont have enough time!



* you can have animals (nah they also dont harm your farm)
-TO have animals you need to have a good handspeed to steal them before your "friends"
--good net connection to refresh the page every min!

* you can build yourself a house
-you cant build a house ,although you can BUY a pretty expensive mansion!
--then what the heck do the following do : nails planks and all the other stuff you kept fighting about!



* you can dress up your character (thats why girls play this for sure!)
-Who wouldnt want a virtual character with a MASSIVE mustache and a skully tshirt :P
--who wouldnt want a virtual character as a girl (a1)

* the girls goes out of sync so many times!
-time time time we have lots of 
--againc ant argue time factor! (after all it cant be worse than writing this post!)



* best way to earn experience is to join a co-op when its almost done!
-AGREED
--11

* you can create multiple profile to help yourself! (more farms more tympass more clicks more gifts and blah blah blah)
-this works but might lead to severe hair loss in some cases
--111111

* last but not the least 50 millon ppl do play this!
* 54 and growing !! -1 me ofcourse!
--will take it as 54 only! pp would have created another profile to compensate for yours!

jai jawan jai kisaan

I have never played farmville.

• the game is as aimless as my life (maybe even more if thats possible!)

Aim (read Futility) of Life

This is one topic everyone everyone must have thought of: What is the meaning/aim of life? I too have spent much time thinking about it and till now have got no other explanation than the fact that life really is futile and is aimless! First let me talk of the various views put forth:
(In the whole post am nowhere being critical or satirical nor am I unhappy with my life in any way. On the contrary have been having a good time these days but am still confused what is life for!)


For religious persons who believe in life/death cycle, attaining moksh is important for which one must live an ideal life and blah blah. Well if you are believer then you can live with this logic but am agnostic so never thought much on this topic.

Life is for helping other. I too lived by this until I thought: Then what is others life for? What do we as well as what do the people we help gain by helping? And what is their aim in life? Even for the researchers who have developed brilliant things how has life in general improved? 100 years ago everyone had problems in life and they still remain. Human Kind obviously will never be content with whatever they have. Maybe unless there is perfect equality with nothing new coming out but then life would be too boring.

There were wars 1000 years ago. There still are. Majority people still crib about their life most of the time. Some dont like their jobs, many dont have jobs and many other factors. So its not like world is going in right direction and sometime later everyone will be happy.

So why live? That the question I have thought about a lot. Best answer I can get is to live for people you care about (or rather for people who care about you). Now the question is how to live? Any gain by living the ideal way or trying to help everyone you encounter? Well I feel that one must live every moment as he feels like. Who wants to live boring life for 100 years anyways! If living ideal life pleases you then so be it. Otherwise there is nothing like absolute right and wrong. I feel that as long as you're not harming another person (or even animals :P ) its not wrong. Defining 'harm' is much more complicated though!
So these are my thoughts.

I know many will feel that this topic is being too immature at this age. Maybe it is. Maybe I too will laugh at this later on. But right now I wanted to write about this somewhere.

My Travel Map

Have been wanting to write many posts since quite some time, but as I am not a writer so couldnt get enough enthu to ditch DOTA and write blog! But will certainly write about my Andaman trip esp the sea experience and scuba diving as I'd very much want to preserve it somewhere.

I also wanted to make a map of my travels and this is one thing I have finally done.
So here is India map (haven't been out of India yet) with all my travels marked!



Green-Air travel
Blue-Sea Travel
Pink/Purple-Rail Travel (ofc the most)
Brown-Road Travel
Grey- Places I supposedly have been to but was too young to remember much!

I always thought I have traveled quite a lot but seeing this map I guess have traveled a lot of times to same places. Have been to Delhi countless time, 5 times to Mumbai, twice to Goa, Manali and Nanital each and ofc many times to Hyderabad (for entirely different reason!)

So can certainly do with more travel esp the NE which I'd like to visit again (childhood memories hardly count as traveling). South should be covered if and when I get a job which probably would be in Bangalore. And yeah Andaman once more would be nice :D

PS: Big thanks to http://www.ajourneyacrossindia.com/travel/241/high-resolution-india-map/ for a high quality India Political Map.

Glitterati by KashiYatra

There is a contest Glitterati being organised by KY with details in their own words:

Select the photographs which you think can be on the cover of a fashion magazine and send a soft copy in any format

Send us your three best photographs and grab the opportunity of being a fashion icon of the institute.

Who needs any model when we have our very own dhaniya model in our branch. So I sent three of his classic pics (from recent Goa trip where whenever I ook my camera he was in front of it!). Now guys tell with dhaniya as model am I not the clear winner :P

You decide!

Life in last few weeks!

Didnt got time+energy+mood together since quite some time to sit and blog. A lot has happened since last semester or my last post.

First was the Goa trip of which am uploading just one pic. Have a huge collection of pics which havent yet uploaded to picasa even (donno whether have enough space there or not).

Well ofcourse most of the pics are classified :P Goa was fun beyond words esp with 4 best friends. IDD rox :D (for neo!)

Then came to coll on 20th Dec after just a week at home (yeah am home sick) and then came New Year. Last new year party was similar to a kitty party. This time we had less of party but was still better than kitty party. Well the kitty guys of our branch were not satisfied so on 1st a trip was planned for Vindhyachal. Now this is what we were told of Vindhyachal (before leaving and on the way): Hill with jharnas (small waterfalls; even water in sight would have satisfied me), temple on top, we can cook our own food on the slope. So considering this we even took football and cricket bat with us. What we found there: Only temples with no place to even walk properly. And all along the play my car-mates were having their kitty party with dumb charades (watever be the spelling). So for me it was listening to ipod in a car and cursing the kitty guys.

A pic of the trip:

Had a small ACM event on 4th Jan. Not so significant. Also got news that I have got first S of my life thanks to KKS. Its another matter am gonna get E on another subject of his. Watever S was new atleast! Went home once again on 13th (told you I was home sick :P) and got a party from shanky at home (will get another one here in bhu too!) Also got one 1.6k wallet as gift. Now I never have so much money in wallet so donno how to use it. Its still kept packed.

And now its 21st, KashiYatra starting from tomorrow. For the first time since my life in BHU am optimistic about KY. Usually it sucks but this year it looks promising. Also Jal coming to rock on final day so thats the main attraction. But then troubles start. There is a conference starting from 27th which is making all my days hectic. Then comes first ct's and finally GATE on 14th Feb (pity on all those guys who are committed..atleast have a gf). There is 1 lakh rs on stake with GATE. So cant afford to mess it up to bad. And during all this time there is CodeFest which is being handled by our branch chulli Shishir Mittal so everybody gotta work hard (forced to work hard?)

So here I am with quite enough work and no mood to do it (nothing unusual). Hopefully will be blogging more often. These days instead of blogging have started keeping a sticky of things I wanna blog about. Even thats missing these days as have shifted to Windows 7 and dont have the sticky gadget yet.

Finally to end this post some random (not so random btw) pics that need to be shared!!

Foggy!

Came to class in this weather at 8 in the morning!
