My second video

So i had made this video earlier of Agnimayan Maar. That was of a little poor quality. So today i have made a new one- the same tune- but the quality is slightly better. I will try to upload more of such songs.

Fact: In the whole of internet, this video is the only source of songs from Orthodox Malayalee Christians of India. Enjoy!!

You may view the video below or here (YouTube.) Or you could view full screen over here.

Crickball or Fooket

I was just going across some site when i saw this news report about Chessboxing-Yup you heard it right- ChessBoxing. It may be common to many, but certainly new to me. According to Wikipedia

A match between two opponents consists of up to eleven alternating rounds of boxing and chess, starting with a four-minute chess round followed by two minutes of boxing and so on. Between rounds there is a one minute pause, during which competitors change their gear. The form of chess played is speed chess in which each competitor has a total of twelve minutes for the whole game. Competitors may win by knockout, checkmate, a judge's decision or if their opponent's twelve minutes of chess time elapses. If a contestant does not make a move in the chess round, he will be issued a warning by the referee. At the second warning the contestant will be disqualified.

So I thought of sport- that would be the hybrid of Cricket and Football.


Oh how good it would be
For starters, the ball to be used will be the mixture of sizes of the Soccer ball and Cricket ball- say a medium-large cricket ball. The ball will be placed just before the crease line at the off-strikers end. The striker will kick the ball to the batsman- No chucking that way,eh Murli?- who will be wearing half pants, like the rest of the team (Tatenda would look like a school boy then.)

Scoring: The official unit to measure the points(like runs or goals) would be ruls (gouls would sound like the name of an animal. Imagine-'...and John has hit a goul..'-PETA alert). The batsman will have to hit the ball into the goal posts placed at the boundary lines which will be at a distance of 15 yards from the wicket. Each post will have its value according to dificulty to score into that area. The fielders will be wearing gloves and standing like goalies- each for each post- to save the opposite team from scoring.

Rules will be a mixture-like you may tackle the batsman when he his attempting to take a run,but only the bowler. Bowler may bowl beamers all day which the battie could head around all day.Doping is allowed.

And of course it will be played in a rectangular pitch with rounded corners.

This post is not intended to hurt anyone.

What happened yesterday

Yup, at last- after 3 yrs,3 months,3 days and 3hrs (it could have been 33.33 seconds as well, but i spent it in trying to just boot up my XP) of useless planning, last night i decided to write my first novel. So after attending the Holy Mass I sat on this PC to begin writing my novel. I switched on my PC and there was a chkdsk scheduled and it took the best part of half an hour to get my PC running. Just as i was above to open Word( yup, i still use Word), I remembered that I had to catch up on my serial, F.R.I.E.N.D.S.( dont still know what the dots are for). After that my mom came yelling in to clean up my room-Sunday-Beginning of the week-Auspicious day. After that i just saw the newspaper and well the next hour was over. I had recorded a song and wanted to see how i could edit and make it more special. So I began to put effects in it and re-recordeded it.Then..

----Snack Time-----

----Movie time-----

----Dinner Time----

----More Junk Food Time----

----Sleep on the sofa with all junk food wrappers Time----

And this was how i forgot to brush my teeth.

Save nature- I While searching

So as the first part of a series i wish to begin, on saving the nature, the first step we all could do is to change our homepage or search to blackle.com
Blackle is a google custom search engine, but as the name suggests, it supports a black interface. The developers say that the power a monitor requires to display a bright screen is more than that required to display a dark screen. This is what was written in the site about it-

How is Blackle saving energy?

Blackle was created by Heap Media to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy. Blackle searches are powered by Google Custom Search.

Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." Roberson et al, 2002

In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine. Since then there has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages.

We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up. Secondly we feel that seeing Blackle every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.

How can you help?

We encourage you to set Blackle as your home page (Ctrl+D). This way every time you load your Internet browser you will save a little bit of energy. Remember every bit counts! You will also be reminded about the need to save energy each time you see the Blackle page load.

Help us spread the word about Blackle by telling your friends and family to set it as their home page. If you have a blog then give us a mention. Or put the following text in your email signature: "Blackle.com - Saving energy one search at a time".

Have a look at our energy saving tips page for ideas on steps you can take to save energy.

There are a lot of great web sites about saving energy and being more environmentally friendly. They are full of great tips covering the little things that we can all do to make a difference today. Try Blackling "energy saving tips" or visit one of the many great blogs dedicated to environmental awareness.

Also the actual person who first struck the idea posted the followin content in his blog-http://ecoiron.blogspot.com/

Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year

As noted, an all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts. I thought I would do a little math and see what could be saved by moving a high volume site to the black format.

Take at look at Google, who gets about 200 million queries a day. Let's assume each query is displayed for about 10 seconds; that means Google is running for about 550,000 hours every day on some desktop. Assuming that users run Google in full screen mode, the shift to a black background [on a CRT monitor! mjo] will save a total of 15 (74-59) watts. That turns into a global savings of 8.3 Megawatt-hours per day, or about 3000 Megawatt-hours a year. Now take into account that about 25 percent of the monitors in the world are CRTs, and at 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, that's $75,000, a goodly amount of energy and dollars for changing a few color codes.

So how about it. Do your part for the enviorment. Go to blackle.com

Save the world. Save yourself.

Laugh out Loud

The Party

This lady is giving a party for her granddaughter, and has gone all out. She had a caterer, band, and a hired clown. Just before the party starts, two bums show up looking for a handout. Feeling sorry for the bums, the woman tells them that they can get a meal if they will chop some wood out back.

Gratefully, they head to the rear of the house. Guests arrive, and all is going well with the children having a wonderful time. But the clown has not shown up, and finally, the clown calls to report that he is stuck in traffic, and will probably not make the party at all. The woman is very disappointed and unsuccessfully tries to entertain the children herself. She happens to look out the window and sees one of the bums doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watches in awe as he swings from tree branches, does midair flips, and leaps high in the air.

She speaks to the other bum and says, "What your friend is doing is absolutely marvellous. I have never seen such a thing. Do you think your friend would consider repeating this performance for the children at the party? I would pay him $50!"

The bum replies, "Well, I dunno. Let me ask him. HEY WILLIE! FOR $50, WOULD YOU CHOP OFF ANOTHER TOE?"

Old Man

An old man was critically ill. Feeling that death was near, he called his lawyer. "I want to become a lawyer. How much is it or the express degree you told me about?"

"It's 50,000," the lawyer said. "But why? You'll be dead soon, why do you want to become a lawyer?"

"That's my business! Get me the course!"

Four days later, the old man got his law degree. His lawyer was at his bedside, making sure his bill would be paid.

Suddenly the old man was racked with fits of coughing and it was clear that this would be the end. Still curious, the lawyer leaned over and said, "Please, before it's too late, tell me why you wanted to get a law degree so badly before you died?"

In a faint whisper, as he breathed his last, the old man said, "One less lawyer..."

The Old Fools

An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in New York and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.

"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams.

"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her," and he hangs up.

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this."

She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at the old man, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "They're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own fares ... Now what do we tell them for Christmas?

Need a Heart?

A man who was having heart trouble went to the doctor to see what his options were. Naturally, the doctor recommended a heart transplant. The man reluctantly agreed, and asked if there were any hearts immediately available, considering that money was no object. "I do have three hearts," said the doctor. "The first is from an 18-year old kid, non-smoker, athletic, swimmer, with a great diet. He hit his head on the swimming pool and died. It's $100,000. The second is from a marathon runner, 25 years old, great condition, very strong. He got hit by a bus. It's $150,000. The third is from a heavy drinker, cigar smoker, steak lover. It's $500,000."

"Hey, why is that heart so expensive? He lived a terrible life!"

"Yes, but it's from a lawyer. It's never been used."

The Pay Check

A man left for work one Friday afternoon. But it was payday, so instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending his entire pay check.

When he finally appeared at home on Sunday night, he was confronted by his angry wife and was barraged for nearly two hours with a tirade befitting his actions. Finally his wife stopped the nagging and said to him, "How would you like it if you didn't see me for two or three days?" He replied, "That would be fine with me."

Monday went by and he didn't see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results. But on Thursday, the swelling went down just enough where he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.

Smart Alec

A customer at Green's Gourmet Grocery marveled at the proprietor's quick wit and intelligence. "Tell me, Green, what makes you so smart?"

"I wouldn't share my secret with just anyone," Green replies, lowering his voice so the other shoppers won't hear. "But since you're a good and faithful customer, I'll let you in on it. Fish heads. You eat enough of them, you'll be positively brilliant."

"You sell them here?" the customer asks.

"Only $5 each," says Green.

The customer buys three. A week later, he's back in the store complaining that the fish heads were disgusting and he isn't any smarter.

"You didn't eat enough," says Green. The customer goes home with 20 more fish heads. Two weeks later, he's back and this time he's really angry.

"Hey, Green," he says, "You're selling me fish heads for $5 apiece when I can buy the whole fish for $3. You're ripping me off!"

"You see?" says Green. "You're smarter already."



The well-dressed man entered our bank wanting to buy five silver dollars, which he would give as gifts.

“How much for them?” he asked, when I handed him the coins.

“That will be five dollars,” I said.

Handing them back, he said, “Forget it. That’s too much.”

I was leaning over the shoulder of one of one of my students, helping her with some math problems, when I noticed the pencil sew was writing with. It had the Ten Commandments listed on it.

“I like your pencil very much,” I told her.

“Yeah, I like it too,” she said. “That’s why I stole it from my brother.”

Recently, our 19-year-old daughter started hunting for her first real job. She spent an afternoon filling out application forms, leaving them on the kitchen table to finish later. As I walked by, a section of the application on top jumped out at me. Under “Previous Employment” she wrote, “Baby Sitting.” In answer to “Reason for Leaving,” she replied, “Parents came home.”

A rabbi, a priest, and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, “Is this some kind of joke?”

Upon arrival at Gatwick Airport, near London, I got in the foreign visitors line. My husband, an English citizen, headed for British Customs. I handed the officer my passport. “Purpose of trip?” he asked.

“Pleasure,” I replied. “I’m on my honeymoon.”

“Interesting,” the officer said stamping a page. “Most women bring their husbands with them.”

Rabbi And Priest Car Accident

A rabbi and a priest get into a car accident and it's a bad one. Both cars are totally demolished, but, amazingly, neither of the clerics is hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, the rabbi sees the priest's collar and says, "So you're a priest. I'm a rabbi. Just look at our cars. There's nothing left, but we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God. God must have meant that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace the rest of our days."

The priest replies, "I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God."

The rabbi continues, "And look at this. Here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of Mogen David wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." Then he hands the bottle to the priest.

The priest agrees, takes a few big swigs, and hands the bottle back to the rabbi. The rabbi takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap on, and hands it back to the priest.

The priest asks, "Aren't you having any?"

The rabbi replies, "No...I think I'll wait for the police."

Rains arrive in Mumbai

The rains have begun in Mumbai, and has at last given respite to the millions who used to work in the sweltering heat in the last few months.
However the beginning of rains has brought out the blind promises made by the municipality, as there was flooding in some parts of the city already, even though it was a light shower yesterday.
While the rains have begun it has also spelt disaster for me, as i have already been affected by it.
Happy rainy days, but beware of floods.

Dream gone through

Well so i was making this other blog with so much hope when google just shunted my dream out

So i was just making this blog which is based on a gangsta theme. So i needed a gangster template and ultimately (meaning the almost 4hrs. i spend searching it) when i downloaded it, and tried to do the change HTML way of changing the template it gave an error. I tried at least ten times but again blogger gave me an error with a code to report it. I'm sure thay will resolve the issue by tomorrow but it was bad to shunt my dream.Weep weep.

By the way i'll give out the address by tomorrow.

Vacations-programmed

I'm going to this classes for computer lessons. I have opted for a batch called programming module. Yup they teach me to programme there. It includes C++, Java, Visual Basic and something else as well.
So at the beginning they began to teach us C++. Of the bore that it was. But it was enjoyable in patches. I've tried to do some research on my own on this language but the very first line in each and every tutorial, video, text, image anything you name it is-'C++ is an object oriented programming'. That very line puts me in light slumber (He!!He!!).
I don't deny the fact that i have sat in the class sometimes, not even understanding a single bit what the ma'am is explaining. And at last i have finished the course on C++
Well all the pundits of programming may be cross at what i have written here, but i guess that is the truth, at least for me.
Well it is a programming language, so i have made two programmes up till now. One is a quiz called KBC and the other is a sort of bank ATM software. All at the basic level, but enjoyable, just the same. I will put a lengthier version of KBC soon. You can download the present version below

Have a laugh

Well i was just browsing through the net when i came across some of these jokes from a site. Read them and have a laugh:

"Blondes Are Not Stupid" convention:

80,000 blondes are gathered for a "Blondes Are Not Stupid" convention. The leader says, "We are all here today to prove to the world that blondes are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer?"

A blonde gingerly works her way through the crowd and steps up to the stage.

The leader asks her, "What is 15 plus 15?" After 15 or 20 seconds she says, "18!" Obviously, everyone is a little disappointed. Then, 80,000 blondes start cheering, "Give her another chance! Give her another chance!" The leader says, "Well, since we've gone to the trouble of getting 80,000 of you in one place and we have the world-wide press and global broadcast media here, gee, uh, I guess we can give her another chance."

So he asks, "What is 5 plus 5?" After nearly 30 seconds she eventually says, "90?" The leader is quite perplexed, looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh. Everyone is disheartened. The blonde starts crying and the 80,000 girls begin to yell and wave their hands shouting, "Give her another chance! Give her another chance!"

The leader, unsure whether or not he is doing more harm than good, eventually says, "OK! OK! Just one more chance. What is 2 plus 2?" The girl closes her eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, "4?". Throughout the stadium, pandemonium breaks out as all 80,000 girls jump to their feet, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream ... Give her another chance! Give her another chance!

Funny answering machine messages:

1)"Hi, we aren't in at the moment, if you are trying to sell us something please start speaking now and hang up at the beep, everyone else start speaking at the beep and hang up when you've finished."

2)Roses are red, violets are blue, Sugar is sweet, and so are you The roses have wilted, the violets are dead, The sugar bowl's empty, and so is your head The roses stink, sorta like sheep But leave your name, number, and message after the beep The roses are molding, the violets are rotten And I might call you back, if I haven't forgotten

3)A is for academics, B is for beer. One of those reasons is why we're not here. So leave a message. and the best one:

4)Hi. This is John: If you are the phone company, I already sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my financial aid institution, you didn't lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a female, don't worry, I have plenty of money.

Phew!

Well i was trying to put some songs in my Nokia 6275, when it refused to accept my videos. I had earlier put the same videos in a Nokia 3230, but i guess the 'attitude' has spread in territories, unknown.
I had some flv videos , i had downloaded from Youtube. I normally convert them with A-one video converter, into 3gp
(the format most commonly used in mobile phone), which i got freely from this site called Give away of the day. But it refused to accept files with messages like, unable to open file, and something about file format.
So after googling for some time i got this software called Freez Flv to Avi converter and another called Apex 3gp converter.
Thing is i first converted the flv videos to avi, as apex cannot accept flv, and then converted the avi to 3gp
Well Happyies ending, i can now play my video properly.

Rey- Where are you?

The other day i was just watching WWE^® on TV when i remembered- hey were is Rey Mysterio? Ok so he was injured but that is so long ago, i think it was even before John Cena got injured. Well i miss Rey's high flying stunts, especially the Monkey Twist and 619. Yow Rey, come on man we want you back


Here are some quick facts obout Rey:
1) Rey Mysterio means ‘King of Mystery‘ in Spanish.
2) His real name is Óscar Gutiérrez y Rubio, and his other ring names are Rey Misterio, Jr. and Rey Mysterio, Jr.
3) His name honours his uncle and trainer, Rey Misterio, Sr.
4) Mysterio is famed for employing aerial techniques in the ring and holds a place in the wrestling history books for winning the WCW/WWE Cruiserweight championship more times than anyone else (eight times).
5) Mysterio won the January 2006 Royal Rumble in Miami, Florida. He is both the lightest and shortest wrester to have won this competition.

Fifa series rules

Yes i have just come after playing a custom tournament in FIFA 05. Yup, you heard it right. 05.

Well 05 or 08 the excitement is the same. A good cyber-footballer would any day go hands down for the PES series(which also, is awesome), but i think both are almost the same.
I played a cup in which i played for Manchester United( I'm an avid Man U fan) and faced Newcastle United in the final.He He, funny but I won by 11-0. Ho ho great fun.
Well i'm dissapointed at Mumbai's loss yesterday. Well lets see what will happen today. Hoping for a chennai loss today(He!He!!)

Mumbai Indians-All but lost

Mumbai Indians faced thier 2nd defeat in 3 matches yesterday as they lost to Rajasthan Royals by 5 wickets. It was a shameful loss considering that they had as much as 32 runs to defend in the last over.
Dilhara Fernando was given the ball in the last over. Having 14 runs to defend he made a sorry state of affairs for himself by giving away a six in the third ball. Of the last ball RR needed 3 to win. Again Fernando did a sin(yup, you heard it right), he bowled a wide. Two runs of the last ball, two misfields after the ball was delivered and Rajasthan had a record for 7 wins on home turf.
Delhi are through to the finals. Mumbai need to win thier last match and hope Chennai lose in their penultimate match to go to the finals.

Mumbai Indians face do or die

Currently i'm watching the match between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals and all is not well.
Mumbai Indians who are facing a do-or die situation need to win this one to survive in the tournament. Currently somwhat 10 overs has finished and only like 80-odd runs have been scored, with Sanath Jaysuriya and Sachin back in the dug-out. आला रे बाबा, शामत आला. बर खेला नहीं तर असा होंनर मुम्बई इन्दिंस- गेला रे.(Alaa re baba, shaamat alaa. Bar khela nahin tar asaa honnar Mumbai Indians- gela re.)

Ah! So today I'm sitting here, (not hatching eggs) enjoying myself with my PC. It was yesterday that i removed one heck of a virus that blocked my anti virus as well as showed some stupid message, that it had infected my computer.
On doing some research i found out that the virus was recognized on 14th of May, yup, the very day my PC got infected with it. Oh the trouble it gave me. It cost me to loose on some songs of my friend as he was scared his pen drive would wash out (and rightfully so).
My god i couldn't believe my computer was so halka (he he). Safe to say that my computer is regularly updated to the most latest virus uh.. anti-virus

Mumbai Vacation

Well as my vacation is going on,(yes i'm bored, to a certain extent) we planned to go to Kalam beach near Nalla Supara.
In the morning we set out, in the way we visited the Church in Naigaon This church has a very similar design to the church in Manarcadu in Kerala. We attended the mass over there. We even had our lunch over there, as there is a offering by a member every week, The members of this church come from some distance away, hence it would be tiring to go hame and prepare lunch, hence the offering. The choir in this church was sweet.
We then went to our aunt's place who would take us for our trip.We rested there for some time. Somewhere around 5pm we set out for our journey.
Our journey was pleasant for most of the time. With trees on both sides of the road and small houses lining up the sides of the road it had to be good. But then came the horror. We reached a junction called from where we take a turn down a narrow road to the beach.










This narrow road of about 2kms was one of the horrifying roads i have ever traveled. Two vehicles travelling side by side was a strict no-no. At one juncture when we had to give side to an
oncoming vehicle, our car nearly slipped in the marshy land at the side, whose surface was at least 2ft below the road level.
Well any how we got through it and we reached Kalam beach. Unlike the beach in Uttan which has fishing, this beach was only meant for enjoyment. We spend some time in the beach, wetted
our feet etc. We had so much fun even in that as we had visited a beach nearly after 2 years.I even took the car for a spin on the beach. It was great fun.












As the roads were narrow we had to return early. On the road we again came to a jam. So by the time we reached our next destination it had become quite dark.
So our next destinstion was one of Shivaji's fort near Vasai. As it was quite dark, people had left the fort and were waiting for a bus. Still we went in to explore the fort and mind you that was some feeling. It was like some mystic feel- calm, quite, peaceful. So good. But at the same time it was a little spooky. But then too , it was worth all our efforts.






We set out for our home with good memories, and that bought an end to our 1 day picnic to Mumbai.

So today we are going to see about this free software that is an anti-spyware called SpyBot- Search & Destroy(v 1.5 1.19.) Another free anti-spyware is Lavasoft's Ad-Aware SE Free edition (Information/Download )However it uses way too much system resources and is sluggish.But it does more than a decent job of scanning and removing spywares.
One of the best free tools around, it is ranked in the top ten in download.com's most popular software.
Installation of the software is a breeze. On startup we can see four buttons to the left-Search&Destroy, Recovery ,Immunize & Update. On pressing the Search & Destroy tab the software begins to scan the system. Unlike other antispyware software, Spybot-S&D does not show which file it is scanning at present. Instead it displays the spyware or adware it is searching for. The scanning can be stopped any time, but cannot be resumed. After the scan SpyBot asks you wether to repair any spyware if/when found. You can create a back-up in case you are not sure if deleting the spyware is right for your system.
If any harm has been done to your computer and if you have back-uped your system you can undo the changes using the Recovery button.
SpyBot includes an "Immunize" function, which is a long list of webpages, URLs, and domains that are dirty with spyware. If you browse, get redirected, or popped-up to one of those webpages, SpyBot will keep the webpage from loading onto your computer -- all you get is an empty browser window. Whatever you were looking for, if it gets blocked, it's your chance to get it elsewhere, less hazardously.
The Update button allows you to get the latest defination files which are released mastly once in a week.
SpyBot has another function that's worthwhile. They have "TeaTimer," which monitors your registry. If anything tries to change the registry, TeaTimer stops the change, and asks your permission to accept or deny as you see fit.Since the registry is unfathomable to most of us, it is a favorite target of spyware installations. At least, with SpyBot's TeaTimer, changes to the registry become conscious decisions instead of being performed behind your back, even if you don't exactly understand the function. Getting a TeaTimer alert by complete surprise -- such as while browsing the web -- would be a definite reason to deny the change. Getting a TeaTimer alert while changing your wallpaper would be definite reason to accept the change.
The Settings tab allows you to modify a number of settings.This can be seen only if the advanced mode is activated. You can activate it by clicking Mode>Advanced on the top of the window.
