Podcasting @ the speed of night

         Right now, as many SPites would be knowing that quizzes are seldom surprise.. the fact that they occur at the drop of the hat robs them of that robin-hood surprise.
         Hence the solution, usually involves working the mid-night LAPTOP, frequent trips to the night-canteen and frenzied group studies within the hostel; but there is one aspect that has really made our lives easier.. MUSIC
         And what better than MUSIC .... u got it right "LOUD MUSIC"
         connect a speaker system to ur lappie and it just sings away to glory; but here lies a logistical issue.... the constant mis-match between the system which has all the eclectic songs and the one which is connected to the speakers....
         After sufficient case-study analysis was performed upon this postmortem issue, the seniors (once again thank god for them) found a solution SP ishstyle ....

PODCAST: A podcast is a specific type of webcast which, like 'radio', can mean either the content itself or the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also termed podcasting.

         Considering that the LAN available is awesome enough to play counter-strike, transfer entire Hard-disks and still have some more speed to send across those GOD(Google oriented Development) searches... it just worked as perfect as a 'pie in a tie'
         Further, IPMsg;the effective tool to broad-cast the playlist guides available, viola you have the miniature version of customized WorldSPACE.

         Podcasting across seniors has evolved to such an extent, that we do have PJ (yes; that is my own copyrighted abbreviation- Podcast Jockeys) wars ....
         looks like the PARTY is just getting started.

When the Rain GOD gets Hysterical

It was around 4th Standard and I shall remember this throughout my entire life, one of the first time that my belief in god was strengthened to the core. I had not finished my home-work and after constant reprimanding I was sure that the teacher would rather take my pants down in class this time, and boy did i pray to god with all my might....
LO Behold there was RAIN... and then i was saved from the blasphemous humiliation.

This was one of the first few weeks @ SP, and this brought back all those old-gold memories.. it rained and with the mumbai might, more so reminded me of the few scenes of Forest Gump, while during his millitary moments in vietnam he says, that suddenly it started raining and it just kept on raining......

And in case you are still wondering.... no, there was no cancellation of classes unfortunately this time of the year ;)

Ms Jaya Row

Initiated into Vedanta at an early age Jaya Row has spent nearly thirty years in the study and research of Vedanta.

Jaya Row has helped change peoples concept of Indian scriptures. From that of obsolete texts of bygone ages to that of a living, vibrant prescription for success, happiness and personal growth. From being a solace for the aged to an invaluable guide to the youth.

uniquely Indian.

FlickPic : The Pursuit of Happyness (07/07/2007 @ SPJIMR AUDI)

This part of my life... this part right here.......This is called "happyness."……..

The Pursuit of Happyness , Academy Award 2006 nominated movie, is based on the true story of Christopher Gardner , a family man struggling to make ends meet. The movie garnered positive reviews from critics and not even the most jaded movie goers were able to resist the film's emotional pull with an ultimately inspiring message about the implacable power of love and determination.

The movie starts at 6 PM, 7 July 2007....

Be there............


Regards,
