In other news...Himanshu completed a 36 hour transit from Jhansuguda in Orrisa to New Delhi...and he was in a hurry to reach Delhi... though to be fair to Indian railways..this happens with him...that is he is never on time cause he is jinxed...and I really cannot blame the Indian railways...

And..the biggest achievement of this year found the wall in facebook...so the recent activity in facebook is because I found the wall, lot of people told me earlier that they have written on my wall.... वल्लाह परेशांन हो गया था....even searched...by "wall" on the net and I used to get the updates about dravid and what not... well now ......am I cool.... or am I

Particepta and puli pithe

Why am I writing these... he he..cause I am eating them.... love it....wah kya zindagi hai....

Robbed

For the first time in my life I got robbed ... it is not the pseudo robbing that i usually go through ... it was not that "किसी ने मेरा चूतिया काटा" it was actually robbing..

How it happened

Two guys in a bike crept in silently ( I did not hear them) while I was talking on the phone snatched the phone right out of my hand ( I was holding it not clutching it) .

First reaction was of utter disbelief.. and then I thought somebody I know has played a prank and then came the anger surging out ...and I abused... by the time good sense prevailed alas it was too late the guys in the bike were gone..wherein I should have been looking for the number of the bike I was abusing ...thus I lost my 4th phone in the bargain.....

No I am not traumatized or anything...abusing kinda released the nervous energy.

Well I need the number's again, please forward it to me....

For the Unread -- Catch 22

Catch-22 is a term coined by Joseph Heller in his novel Catch-22, describing a false dilemma in a rule, regulation, procedure or situation, where no real choice exists. In probability theory, it refers to a situation in which multiple probabilistic events exist, and the desirable outcome results from the confluence of these events, but there is zero probability of this happening, as they are mutually exclusive.

Logic

The prototypical Catch-22, as formulated by Heller, involves the case of John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces bombardier, who wishes to be excused from combat flight duty. In order to be excused, he must submit an official medical diagnosis from his squadron's flight surgeon, demonstrating that he is unfit to fly because he is insane. In order to get the diagnosis, he must approach the surgeon to ask for one.

However, “catch 22” — the twenty-second of the guidelines used by military surgeons to “catch” those falsely claiming to be insane — is that an insane person should not believe or suspect that they are insane. Thus, to be recognised as insane, a person must not ask for an evaluation, because doing so implicitly shows that they suspect themselves to be insane. But, if a person does not ask for an evaluation, they cannot be recognised as insane because the evaluation is the method by which such recognition would occur. Thus, nobody can ever classify themselves as insane (even if they genuinely are), and thus nobody may ever use an insanity diagnosis to escape flying combat missions, ignoring the possibility of someone else recommending an evaluation for a peer.

New Year Ahoy

...for the next 365 minus whatever has passed I am going to be the host..I hope it has a good stay and at the end of time will gracefully go out so that when I look back i would remember fondly and say..." Ah, now that was the year, the year of 2009".
