Na Chemistry Hoti Na Love Hota

Na Chemistry Hoti Na Love Hota

This beautiful poem was received from a friend as a Forward. Thought it perfect to post it up here for you. Don’t know who authored it but simply brilliant piece.

Na Chemistry hoti na main Student hota
Na ye Lab hoti Na Ye Accident Hota

Abhi Practical main ayee nazar Ek Ladki
Sundar thi Naak Us ki Test Tube Jaisi

Baton main Us ki Glucose ki Mithas thi
Sanson main Ester ki Khushboo bhi sath thi

Aankhon se jhalakta tha kuch is Tarah ka Pyaar
Bin Piye hi ho jata hai Alcohol la Khumar

Benzene sa hota tha Uski Presence ka Ehsaas
Andhere main hota tha Radium ka Abhas

Nazrain mileen, reaction hua
Kuch is tarah Love ka Production hua

Lagne lage Us ke Ghar ke Chakkar aise
Nucleus ke charon taraf Electron hon jaise

Us din hamare Test ka Confirmation hua
Jab us ke daddy se hamara Introduction hua

Sun kar hamari baat wo aise Uchal pare
Ignesium Tube main jaise Sodium Bharak uthe

Wo bole, Hosh main aao, Pahchano apni Auqat
Iron mil nahin sakta kabhi Gold ke saath

Ye sun ker Tuta hamare Armanon Bhara Beaker
Aur ham Chup rahe Benzaldehyde ka Karwa Ghoont pee

Ab us ki yadon ke siwa hamara Kam chalta na tha
Aur Lab main hamare Dil ke siwa kuch jalta na tha

Zindagi ho gayee Unsaturated Hydrocarbon ki Tarah
Aur ham phirte hain Awara Hydrogen ki Tarah

When facebook becomes a mainstream PhotoSharing Site

There were times when Flickr, PicasaWeb Gallery used to be the mainstream apps for photos sharing. Never was orkut or facebook was particularly popular way of multi-photo sharing tool. Even though the current facebook interface for photo uploads has been so refined but it still lacks that charm. I stumbled across this wonderful desktop app that lets you do-it-all from your desktop. With some great features as Tagging and proxy support, this has to be my App of the week. Whats more amazing is that it is available on many platforms. Check it out

Features:

* Upload photos to Facebook which includes tagging people: (more than 60 photos supported and privacy)
* Import photo Exif info into the photo caption
* Download albums from Facebook
* View your friends photos
* Save individual photos
* Support for uploads behind a Proxy server
* Windows/Mac/Linux/Solaris compatible

See Ma. New Blog.

Hey everyone. Long time and no new post. Worry not, was a lil busy with college stuff. I’m back again right on track. To let you readers believe me there’s so much in store. I just upgraded the platform to “Wordpress 2.8″ and know what, blogging got even more awesome-er. Wordpress is a true super hero in the CMS sphere. So here’s whats new in 2.8 (from the site).

Major New Improvements

First and foremost, 2.8 is way faster to use. We’ve changed the way WordPress does style and scripting.

The core and plugin updaters in previous versions of WordPress have been such a success we decided to bring the same to themes. You can now browse the entire theme directory and install a theme with one click from the comfort of your WordPress dashboard.

If you make edits or tweaks to themes or plugins from your dashboard, you’ll appreciate the new CodePress editor which gives syntax highlighting to the previously-plain editor. Also there is now contextual documentation for the functions in the file you’re editing linked right below the editor.

If you were ever frustrated with widgets before, this release should be your savior. We’ve completely redesigned the widgets interface (which we didn’t have time to in 2.7) to allow you to do things like edit widgets on the fly, have multiple copies of the same widget, drag and drop widgets between sidebars, and save inactive widgets so you don’t lose all their settings. Developers now have access to a much cleaner and robust API for creating widgets as well.

Finally you should explore the new Screen Options on every page. It’s the tab in the top right. Now, for example, if you have a wide monitor you could set up your dashboard to have four columns of widgets instead of the two it has by default. On other pages you can change how many items show per page.

And Even More

You can read the full list of over 180 new features, changes, upgrades, and improvements on the Codex. The list is exhausting!

Heres a quick video.

A News Tube for Indian Audience

A News Tube for Indian Audience

Tubaah aims to be the Hulu of India. Started by a strong media network of NDTV. The site has not yet gone into the turbo-advertising mode, so not many people know of it. It allows people to create their own ‘Tubes’ generally by aggregating news videos and then share them with freinds and then follow what their freinds are watching. The HomePage has an option of Live TV Stream which currently features only NDTV Channels. Also seen on the header is a link to shows, which has a listing of all prime time shows, which again has only NDTV shows listed. This service is currently free but you can never tell when they start charging for memberships as they charge a premium ammount on their NDTV Imagine Channel (atleast on TATA Sky). With internet in India gaining new highs, this service can keep its hopes high. As more users are getting exposed to broadband, internet is the new media to count on.

Make the best of your classes.

Bieng a full time student and maintainig a blog is a tough task. This particular post was handwritten at the back of my all-subject notebook. So i thought why not give some tips to make the best of your lectures ( apart from sleeping, since sleeping in class is even more refreshing than sleeping at night, anywhere, believe me) –

  • Do all your blog writing at the back of your notebook, shorthand if possible. It will prevent you from dozing off.
  • If you are the poets kinds, look towards the girl sitting diagonally in front of you and write a beautiful prose (you’re a last bencher and all the girls sit in the front rows, duh!)
  • Artists can find some inspiration in their teachers. Making a portrait definitely wont get you a place at Christie’s but can make you a rockstar if you upload all those to Facebook.
  • Txtng is always a favorite, but if you’re my kind try passing around little chits like snail mail. Its fun.
  • If you have sometime left even after doing all the fun, carry a good fiction title, lectures are usually the best place to finish off that unfinished business of yours.

Warning: Studying is highly unadvisable
