Overnight stay at Hell!
I had one sleepless night stay in Hell even when i am alive....its a recent aapbiti which i would really like to share with u all guys...First day when i came to stay in University Dormitory it was dark..and looked like its been inhabitated for ages...I thought of complaining the very next day to the caretaker..and well for today...somehow i tried to sleep..but something started licking me and sucking me[;)]....finally got to know that its mosquitoes....well, to to get rid of it, planned to visit the family mart in my campus, which claims to be open for 24 hrs...so decided to check with both the things, mosquito-repellent as well as their commitment to be work 24X7...i reached..and to my surprise it was still open...i asked them about anti-mosquito coil/ointment/anything for that matter...no response since they were trying to understand...again tried with american accent which i think is just twisting ur tongues and few more complexities involved....but didn't work....finally started acting...so at the 3 'o' clock..started playing dumb charades...finally ended up with nothing....and the mosquitos had a tummy-full feast....this was my one night stay at Hell!!!!!!!

"Lingua Bihar": A new paradigm shift of ultra-urban-language
E LOTA, ee ka hua? Kahe albalaye huye hain? Etna narbhasane se kuchchho nahin hoga (Omigosh, what's this? Why are you so flustered? Such nervousness won't help matters.) The inveterate linguist may scream at such an apparent contamination of Hindi language but the average Bihari simply loves to throw all narrow parameters of grammar to the winds. For them, the funnier they are, the better their adaptability is into their inimitable lingua franca.
Over the years, Biharis have invented a language, which has an unmistakable stamp of their own. In recent times, its popularity has traveled far and wide beyond the borders of the State and many screen heroes,including Amitabh Bachchan, have mouthed Bihari liches with characteristic elan -a far cry from the days when it was thought to be an infra dig of sorts for anybody other than country bumpkins and unscrupulous politicians to perpetrate such "verbal atrocities".
All that, however, is passe now. Bihari Boli is sweeter than honey now.
Not only in Bollywood but also on the campuses of prestigious universities and IITs across the country. Words like harbaraye, garbaraye, bargalaye, thartharaye and dhanmanaye which would have sounded Greek to outsiders earlier are being used with gay abandon by the hep youngsters there. Sobriquets laced with double entendres like "garda", bawaal and dhuan denoting the varying degree of a girl's beauty and sex appeal can be heard not only in Patna University colleges but also far away Fergusson College in Pune. Moreover, a-go, dugo, teengo and chaartho type of numerology which was a matter of disdain not long ago is being accepted even by the stiff upper-lips without any qualms.
So, notes sarka do (pass on the notes )","batti buta do (put out the lights)", Principal ko harka do (bamboozle the principal),burbak kahin ka (you stupid fellow!), hum to biga gaye(I was thrown out) and Hum to huan thebe kiye the (I was very much there) are some of the expressions which have conveniently made their way into the otherwise prim-and-propah St Stephens, New Delhi.
Similarly, coinages like dhakiyaye (shoved), mukiyaye (punched), latiyaye(kicked) and matiyaye(forget it) are the current rage. Hiyan (here), huan (there), kahe (why),enne(this way) and onne (that way) are some of other typical words, which are spoken rather nonchalantly by so-called educated lot in the State. One, therefore, does not get surprised if one hears tanikke for little, nimman for good, anhar for darkness and ejot for lights. For them, colloquial language need not be tied to any narrow rules. E topicwa par maatha khapane se kuchchho nahi hoga (nothing is to come out of this topic), as one wit commented. Among many characteristics of this language are its terms fendearment. Seldom does one hear people on the streets calling each other by their real names. Raju automatically becomes Rajua, Pappu turns into Pappua,Rajesh into Rajeshwa and Shatrughna at best Satrohna.
This potpourri of all Bihari dialects has also coined new terms for human anatomy which would baffle an FRCP if he were to land here straight from Edinburgh. Here gor means legs, moori is substitute to head, ongree is equivalent to finger, thor denotes lips and kapar is synonymous with forehead.
This language also has more onomatopoeic words than probably any other.
Words like tapak se, gapak se, and japak se can be understood by Listening to their phonetical sounds. No longer is Bihari language associated with a few howlers like eskool (school)", teeshan (station) and singal (signal) only. There are certain words which carry the precise meaning but which cannot be properly substituted by any word in other languages. Machchar bhambhor liya is probably is one such example.
Bhambhorna is a super word, which means the collective assault of mosquitoes to "bhambhor" you. But then, one might argue, where else do you find so many mosquitoes to bhambhor you.
Right from Laloo Prasad Yadav, who emerges as the best speaker of his ghar ki boli to Shekhar Suman, everybody loves to flaunt his native command of the language. Earlier, Biharis were notorious for atrocious gender sense and shoddy pronunciation. Now, the same traits have become the tour de force of their conversation. The time has certainly come to raise ekadhgo (one or two) toast to the longevity of the Bihari language. "Teengo" cheers to that........ ........

How to Think Before Speaking - wikiHow
"Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise: and he that shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding."
Proverbs 17:28 American King James Bible
One of the most obvious and significant attributes that sets humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom is the ability to communicate through speech. An interesting corollary is that we can also communicate our thoughts in real time; we do not need to plan what we’re going to say before we say it. This has both advantages and disadvantages. It would be clearly undesirable for us to have to formulate our thoughts before we issue an immediate warning ("run!") and communication would be dramatically slowed if we were unable to respond, naturally, to people in normal conversation.
On the other hand, this innate ability is often the source of consternation when what we say on the spur of the moment is something we later wish we had either not said, or said differently; it happens to everyone, sometimes, the trick is to remember when. Typically, this happens when we are responding quickly in stressful situations, or during confrontation, although it can happen at any time. Recognizing that we do not always say what we would like to communicate is an important realization – how to help mitigate that issue is not complex, but does require some behavioral changes. The goal is to be aware of when to talk naturally and fluidly, and when to think before we speak... and when to not speak at all.
Steps
- Observe yourself: Take note of when this happens to you. What circumstances led to you saying things that, later, you wish you had said differently. Does it happen mostly with one particular person (or group of people)? Is it most often in arguments or debates? Is it when you’re "on the spot" for information? Try to find a pattern. It might be helpful to start a journal of events so you can compare these at your leisure.
- Recognize your situation: After you determine what circumstances might be the most likely to produce this unwanted effect, try to be very observant about when those conditions appear to be manifesting. The more skilled you become at recognizing this, the better you will be at changing your approach.
- Observe the conversation: Now that you know you’re in one of "those" situations, the goal is for you to process information. Often when we respond in a less than appropriate way, it’s because we didn’t fully comprehend what was being said. This is the time to sit back and listen to what’s going on around you. Don’t start focusing on what you’re going to say; just absorb. Your mind will process this information in the background.
- Observe the people: Who is speaking and how do they communicate? Some people are very literal and some people use examples. Some people use a lot of facial expression and body language to augment their conversation whereas others rely on complex verbiage. How people convey information is a very good indicator of how they best absorb information.
- Formulate responses: Not just one, but consider your options. There are many different ways to say things and your goal here is to find the best way to convey what you want to say in a way that has a positive impact. Communication is primarily a function of the recipient so you have to communicate based on the listener.
- Consider the information: Is what you want to say Effective, Necessary, Accurate, Timely, and Appropriate (ENATA)? If you are just responding because other people are talking, then it’s possible your communication doesn’t fit the ENATA model. If not, then sit back and continue to listen. You want what you say to have impact, not just make noise.
- Gauge the reaction: Is the information you’re going to present formulated in a way to make a positive impact. Creating a negative atmosphere will guarantee failure in communications. You want people to understand that you are contributing rather than detracting. It only takes once to ruin your ability to communicate during that time. Identify how the listeners will react.
- Be thoughtful about your tone: How you say it is, in many ways, as important as what you say. Tone of voice can convey enthusiasm and sincerity, or it can rebuff and show sarcasm, and as most people have experienced, what we say can be taken in the wrong way. The most likely reason is that the tone of voice, what was said, body and facial language, as well as content, were not all thoughtfully combined to integrate with the listener’s most effective method of communication.
- Communicate: You now know what you’ll say, why it’s ENATA, how you’ll say it and the most likely reaction. Wait for an appropriate break in the conversation and speak. It’s usually best not to interrupt, although there are occasions when that will work best. When to interrupt is beyond the scope of this document.
- Repeat Step 1: While you’re talking, consider what you’re saying and keep a close watch on the reactions as they emerge. After the conversation is over, review the whole process again in your mind and note what you might have done differently and why. This is an ongoing process. Over time, you will refine and improve – you will become a better communicator and people will accept your responses with a more open mind.
Tips
- When you say something you shouldn't have, fix it in your mind to avoid that specific situation in the future.
- Make sure your comments are germane to the conversation. Don’t stray from the topic – stay focused.
- This will take time – it should become a part of your life. As you get better, you will be regarded as someone whose opinion is valued.
- You will often be considered more mysterious by not needing to say every thought that crosses your mind. Eventually, people will come to the conclusion that you know more than you're letting on.
- Wait 5 or 10 seconds before responding. This gives you time to formulate a): if a response is required, and b): an appropriate and thoughtful response.
- Remember the famous and well-known quote by Abraham Lincoln: "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt." If you haven't planned your comments well, give yourself some more time to think.

Guesstimating
Recently I came closer with a friend who I had not opportunity to chat with but willing to do so as he seemed to be very sensible and coincidently he belonged to the same Alma Mater as mine, which we always try to reflect credit on while talking to others. However the destiny never allowed us to be a colleague, but fortunately or unfortunately, we are colleagues now in Taiwan.
Recently to my surprise this boring internship job relocated me close to his place and naturally I started spending a lot of time with this friend of mine.
It’s of great relevance in this context so let me tell you that I usually try to learn from my friends, not because they love to teach me but I also observe them and then learn it if I find their methods really effective. I did the same with this friend and it did not take me long to observe that he starts every sentence with a big “NO” ONLY if he has to shoot back as a reply to an argument, most of the times without caring about the supporting facts demanded by arguer. Reason being is his Repellent nature and his ready-made presumptions based on his trivial experiences in the past. He bluntly says “NO”, even if you tried to produce some facts to support your argument. You must be wondering how I happened to have friendship to this person. The tricky but simple answer to this question is to avoid getting into arguments with this “NO” buddy.
Last few incidents I remember are, I bought an expensive Sunglass and wore it the whole day to have a feel of proud owner of the product. It’s beauty made many friends comment good or bad and certainly that invited my “NO” buddy to poke me to argue about me calling it EXPENSIVE. Needless to mention how he went about it!!! But the result of his argument is worth mentioning that he proved this sunglass to be worthless and it deserves to be coming free with a 70 bugs TEA CUP.
Later, followed to this talk, we discussed about a beauty queen, when asked for his consent if he too liked her, he said, “NO”, her cheeks should have been shrunk a little then she would look good and eyes are not beautiful. We discussed about marriage and he stressed that he would like to get married to a homely girl, because he cares a lot about the fact that his wife must be a VIRGIN and he won’t mind going to an extent where he can ask for a virginity test result from his alliances.
When I raised a question that since you have pursued so many girls, why don’t you expect the same from your would be wife. He answered, your argument is correct but my wife must be pure. I asked how would you test that?? He said, come on, when science can change the reproductive organs of a person why they can’t know if they are still virgin!!! CLEAN BOLD!!
Everyday we talk and all the talks & discussions are really entertaining but the results are always in his favor. His attitude towards every single thing reflects a strange impression to me, somewhat conservative. One of our common friends even told me that…I am pretty bugged with this friend and I deliberately do opposite of what he (this friend) says…and I always find it my decisions correct. So he recommended me to do the same…this story continues…I will keep updating you with his latest movements….

A department is being run by Cleopatra family
If a woman finished a unit of work in 5 minutes, how long will it take if we put 7 women to do the same job?? The answer we heard before were “perhaps NEVER”, but this does not seem to be true for the organization I am currently working for…. as this organization claims to be the biggest Chip packaging company of the world keeping 70% of workforce as female employee.
A statistics of my team for your quick reference, 7 ladies (4 married, avg. age of this group comes up to 35 yrs.), 1 lucky or unlucky male (we will decide later!!), but before I forget to tell you, and if you are bad in calculation, that male is none but myself, the youngest even on the entire floor at the age of 25.
Every day the story starts from morning 7:45, clearly visible a set of breakfast boxes in all of these Cleopatra’s hands while entering their workstations and within a minute the day turns itself into a redolent and vociferous day. Topics discussed range from breakfast dishes to family issues, but if you think that work has been ignored during the moment, you are mistaken. Turning on the system would be the first thing they do when they enter the workstation; it’s a different matter that system does not restore previous settings till they finish their breakfast. Perhaps systems are accustomed to burps before they start functioning.
Jobs are allocated, now facial expression has changed with the rapidity of kaleidoscope and brought a clearly reflecting work-in-progress attitude but since they are habituated to do 2 jobs at a time (out of these 2, one of course is chit chat) so with the purpose to check the progress with engineers, Cleo’s have got to chit chat about all their (Engineer’s) whereabouts. Thanks to this company who provides Ericsson P264 handset to communicate efficiently and ultimately encourages these Cleopatra family to do so. The reason I like to call them Cleopatra is their aggressiveness as well their flirtatious nature at the same time. They talk about everything on earth without caring about others interest in the matter, think myself listening about flirts when they were sweet 18s.
Now something about language! A strange coincidence I observed lately that these 7 beauties have completely different ways of speaking. To my knowledge, on the other hand Chinese language, being the unfriendliest language in the world, served in 7 different ways can make anybody go crazy. (Now decide if I am still lucky??).
Well, staying as the lone Y chromosome among these X’s has a different pleasure. You will be adored and admired for every quality you possess and cursed for the lack of sophistication that they die for. If you are talkative and possess some sense of humor, could prove to be lethal for your career growth in such organizations.

Guide in a zoo!
Recently I was compelled to visit Taipei zoo to stay blameless of called as a pariah and at the same time I must admit that it also provided me with an opportunity to say that I could not have had a better topic than this to talk about. Later I will surely describe why I said so.
Well, on occasions of this kind, you got to have accompanied by many friends or soon to be friends with you to cover the glance of each creature expecting your visit from time immemorial. So we started off at around half an hour earlier than scheduled time to reach the bus-stop to our musing surprise that we were the first one to reach and rest of us are still taking rest at home. Also, as a matter of fact, it's worth mentioning that we targeted afternoon to be a good time to visit zoo as it was supposed to rain in the morning and rest of the day were supposed to be fine for the day, but Sun was all set to prove us wrong about our presumptions.
We reached zoo by bus at around 2 PM having some coveted and deserved fun with our group but tolerating despair and envy looks on the faces of co-passengers including driver in the bus. Flamingoes standing on one leg welcomed us in the zoo but before I forget to mention that we were picked up by a friend who was late by an hour from his original schedule and he was still smitten instead of snubbed as he had been to zoo earlier and supposed to guide us through treasures of zoo. Guide friend obliged us with his usual habits of exaggeration and started exhibiting not so long after we entered the premises with a fact about Flamingo's PINK color that it has been colored with red or pink in order to look beautiful but when checked with wikipedia it says in fact they are so due to their diets.
Never mind, Impressed with his instantaneous endeavor and general knowledge skills brought great recognition for this guide friend, however the facts produced had nothing to do with reality. Few of the bright and vivacious members of the group who knew a little know-how of browsing, brought a new name to this friend and soon he was known as Google Scholar in the group. Immediate excitement of this recognition and usual temperament of tests, trials, temptations, and toils due to earlier profession made him ready to come out with more "out of box" comments. One such comment was female of zebra not only follows the same period of pregnancy as that of Human beings but to our surprises, they also naturally follow the same average life as that of human beings. He was greatly endorsed and applauded by fellow zoo visitors. But then, now he became unstoppable!
Facts followed one after one and became countless from our so-called storehouse of facts untill the sun went down in flame on the far horizon. Some of the many eye-openers were an OWL of size around 4-5 feet. A fish worth millions kept in zoo was missed by everybody but could not hide itself from our guide friend and led to peculiarly liable misinterpretation of its worth. List goes on and on , believe me, I have barely touched some of the those factless facts. But his confidence to tell the same was still high, lofty yet noble at the same time. Amazing!!!
You would have come to realize that I am not going to talk about the specifics of the zoo, yet reached the end of my paragraph but rather acted as a critique of a guide who indirectly, had given me pleasure in the boring place. Let me tell you that I dont like zoo and never would have visited it if I was not scared of being outcasted by fellow Indian community here. All I would like to say to end this topic is you must visit zoo next time with a professional guide yet not absolutely mesmerized by their facts but also to enjoy even if you are a person who gets easily bore with walking among useless fripperies of a zoo.

Snooze.....!
Ringtones....singtones...caller tones...latest buzz in the surrounding of attention seekers fighting to capture even the slightest attention!
Download it....set it on your cell phone ,make others envy of u....but do you agree that the same tone sounds quite cacophonous ,if you set it as an alarm tone..? and snooze adds redundancy by the attributes of frequency modulation(FM)...as if we are listening to FM for the same latest songs all the 24/7...!
But the sleep, I get during those 9 minutes(why only 9 mins), keeps me fresh for the entire day and to my surprise ,those 9 minutes make the biggest difference in the performance of everyday I put on my studies...I generally sleep for 6 straight hours without dreaming,sometimes even without breathing knowingly...if I do not ,by virtue of any unwanted event taking place during my sleep,I try to reschdule from the broken period to keep it quite straight ,reason being I am very poor in simple mathematics and find it little difficult to keep a count of hours...this feeling of 6+ hours are set as a psychological alarm...after 6 hrs,it really matters if you could steal a trivial,but another 9 minutes from your daily schedule ,if you could manage with some more, then you are outstanding...but I do not worry...When I read an article about Snooze, I felt very comfortable and so would you..an excerpt from "Why do snooze alarms go off every 9 minutes?"
If you smack a snooze button, you ain't sleepin' alone. According to USA Today, more than a third of American adults hit the snooze button every morning an average of three times. Snooziest group? The 25- to 34-year-olds - 57 percent of them hit the snooze button daily. Peppiest risers? It's the seniors. Only 10 percent of Americans over 65 regularly use their snooze
button.
