My face value = Cheat

We have observed that people have a habit of passing judgements by looking at a person's face. They think they are able to tell whether he/she is a rich, egoistic or a plain stupid (having a big question mark on his face). In this aspect, I have reasons to believe that the value associated with my face is that of a prankster or a cheat.(photo in my profile for reference)

1) At the 10th Board Exams I was the only person to be checked for 'chits/hidden notes' in the whole class.
2) Every year during my BE, I was to be checked for hidden chits.
3) Even during my MS, people come up to me for putting in proxies even though I don't know them.

What makes a person's face the way it is? Are they really the reflection of his genes and intentions? How are people able to identify these characteristics in a person? Are these face patterns stored in a person's brain when he is born (filtered through evolution) or get created depending upon his life experiences. If we can get a statistical survey of various parameters of a face then a real cheat can create an 'honest face' through plastic surgery and become the con man of the century (maybe like " Mhamta Gnahdi "....u definately must have read it as Mahatma Gandhi...why do people hate that man so much?)

Neways as most of u would know, I am above average in terms of getting grades. So it hurts evertime I am checked for cheating. I think its high time for me to start wearing 'shades/goggles' to hide my real face and bring out the cool one...like many of the Bollywood actors do. As the saying goes.."Who says life is fair" !!

Why the world doesn't need 'Shaadi.com'

I recently had the misfortune of encountering 'Shaadi.com' website when I was checking my mail. As I too am of marriageable age, I decided to checkout the site in detail. I entered my 'ideal girl' parameters and guess what I found out...utter crap. All the girls there were bad looking and had utterly boring preferences for a husband.

This set me thinking about the site. Why do they show such crap to the 'guests' browsing through and expect them to pay money to register to this site. Atleast they should try to bluff us in this way:
They can create dummy profiles of good looking people and put them on display for us. Later when we register and try to contact these people, the can send dummy messages saying these people are not interested in ur profile. Atleast people won't repent spending their money on this site.

From looking at 'Shaadi.com', I have now come up with an idea for making money on the internet. You all the the very popular site 'Orkut.com' which hosts millions of profiles of people. All I have to do is make an interface that looks like Shaadi.com' and the search through 'orkut' database for the perfect girl/boy. Plus we Indians search for a suitable match through friends and relatives...and BINGO
we can seach through friends -> friends -> friends.. on orkut. I am already dreaming about $$$

Drunken guilt

What happens when u are drunk? Simple-You don't remember what you have done in that supremely unconscious period. You could have abused someone, pranced about naked or just slept throughout. All ur endeavours are fed to u later by ur friends (who were and weren't there when u got drunk).

Next morning your 'Drunken Guilt' also comes to senses along with you and you start to feel it. You don't know whom to apologize and for what. So you try to rack ur brains trying to remember the past night which gives u a better headache. So you start feeling guilty about the endless list of things you could have done during that heavenly period.

I have many solutions for this.
1)Try to get drunk in a room which has a video camera recording in it. Atleast you can see what u did and not feel guilty about the things u didn't do.
2)Always have a drunken guilt (like our politicians).

What say?

"The best way to find a terrorist award" goes to...US

Many of u have given ur GRE/GMAT/SAT and have applied for american universities. The lucky few went to the next hurdle of actually applying for a visa at the US consulate. What did u notice on the forms there?

The one thing that stood out for me were the question:
1)Are you a terrorist?
2)Are you planning to engage in terrorist activities in US like blowing up bridges, making bombs etc.?

Any half-witted terrorist would say no to these questions. Those whom are even more stupid would actually go through the options mentioned in the second questions and say no eventually as those are the outdated methods of terrorism.

So what is the point in asing these questions? To show the the world that they care for people or to make the application procedure more difficult by increasing the questions?

Neways I think it would have made more sense if they made u fill out the questionnaire with a lie detector attached so that they couls atlteast tell the difference.

I...the backbencher

Who says there is no class discrimination in India...what about these 3 castes
1)the backbenchers (the lower class/caste)
2)the front benchers (the upper class/caste)
3)the middle rows (who cares about them anyway).

I belong to the backbencher caste (though not being born into it). I have heard a lot of criticism throughout my life for being a backbencher but being a selfish person, I prefer to belong to that caste.Here are the reasons why ::

1) U can see all the hot chicks without getting noticed.
2) U can earn the title of the 'Class Gossiper' as all the events happening in the class are registered by u.
3) U are always noticed by the teacher as she knows u are a potential candidate for making mischief.
4) As the many classrooms are not stepped in India, it is in ur hand when to be in focus of the teacher's attention and when to hide away from her.
5) U could always eat ur tiffin there.
6) If u perform well, the teacher gets doubly impressed as I was a backbencher.

Even in USA after paying 10,000$ I didn't feel like changing my caste because:

1) All the above mentioned advantages.
2) U can play chess games on ur laptop and make the Prof. beieve that u are taking notes.
3) U can escape from the class without getting noticed.

So why does one want to belong to that upper caste when u have these advantages by being a backward caste??

(For the ignorant few, in HBS the last 2 rows are the most powerful rows name the Powerdeck and the Skydeck resp.)

The Colbert (Kolber) Report

I have recently been watching the clips of 'The Stephen Colbert show' and have to admit that they are witty and sarcastic. The topics are mostly political and the people on the show are mostly those who won't survive his barrage of questions.

The show is very entertaining for a couple of days but then starts getting on ur nerves as the ideas turn out to be repetative and dull.

Still worth giving a shot...

Abhi says

This is abhishek. first of all i would like to mention that saurabh is a real genious.
about how i managed to score... u just have to have a tactic, a method to do a certain thing. saurabh helped me out and i succeeded, thnx to him. one more thing, nothing is impossible and also, impossible is nothing.

A friend's story....

I have a friend named Abhishek/Nulls (Ya just like a Null in C++). A simple down to earth guy with a big laugh and a huge appetite for movies, girls and Vodka. One would think why am I mentioning this guy in my blog ?? The answer is simple...He did something which even he didn't feel possible before.

A year back I remember him as a YD(year down) in Mech Engg. But today he has scored a whooping 72% in BE exams. Hats off to you Nulls !!!

Now the questions in ur mind would be--
1) How did he do that ?
2) Can I do the same ?

Please be patient as I have told him to write the answers in the next post !!!

Motivation (cont...)

I was thinking regarding motivation in one's life. What motivates a person ??
I found that even though I said a person can have different motivations, there is a common underlying logic behind all of them. " Its one's competition against oneself ".

I feel that a person has 2 different images. One is the internal image and the second is the external image(or the real image). The internal/virtual image is what a person believes he can be like a Superman or a Beggar. The external image on the other hand is what the person actually is in real life.

Real image <= Virtual image -> since -> consciouusmind <= subconscious mind.

I feel that a person feels the lack of motivation when his perceived image matches is real image or that there is a tremendous difference between the two.

In short my lack of motivation can either be due to my inferior complex or due to the fullfillment of my dreams...What can it be??

Motivation in life..

I am currently feeling very bored...I don't feel like getting up, eating breakfast or atending classes.
Why is this occuring ?
maybe I am not finding my 'MOTIVATION' ...so now is my task to find it
What can be one's motivation in life ... would it be parents,money, hot girls blah blah blah ...
I can safetly say that my motivation changes from day to day. One day its a girl I see in college...the other day its the money incentive after completing MS.
So to be motivated throughout life, one needs to be constantly searching for new motivations or for lazy people like me, it should be a one that lasts my lifetime.
That means it should last till (death - 1 ) sec...what can be such a motivation?

Why do courses clash ?

There seems to be some 'mangal' in my 'patrika/kundli'...everytime I try to register for courses which interest me, they clash with my other courses. Thus by simple calculation I end up taking only one course of my interest and the rest (3 courses) act as fillers.
e.g I was interested in taking 'Corporate finance' but it clashed with 'Computer Architecture' which clashed with 'DBMS'. So now I am forced to take up 'AI' , 'Real time systems' in which I have no interest.

Anyone has any solution for removing this 'dosh' in my patrika ??

Why I selected "hmmmm......" as the name

Well as is the ritual I must say "This is my first post...YIPPEEE !!!".... I would have been more happy if it would have been my last one.....

Well as this is my first post, I must clarify to my potential blog readers of why I chose the name "hmmmmm...." as the name. Many times in life, u must have encountered the situation where u wanted to say something but had to curtail the urge at the last moment. e.g Your Boss is blabbering away on some stupid topic in a meeting, ur relatives are irritating you on ur Birthday etc. etc. got the point ??
Well in these situations I just say "hmmmm..." All these 'hmmmm...' which I say in my day would be posted on this blog

Sounds interesting ??? (I am hearing many hmmmm's....run run)
