Well once again that darned diarrhea struck me and i have been out since my last post… well i must admit that it was largely due to a large amount of laziness from my side and i have gotten used to these posts on my blogs where i come back after a period of not writing and i use them almost like a crutch to not appear responsible to people(the few who do) read this blog….

Well this is my first post from this new service i decided to start using, its called Microsoft writer and while it has been around for a certain amount of time in this fantastic world of the interweb as my friends like to call it this is the first time i actually decided to start using it due to one of 2 very important reasons…

firstly because i usually don't write in continuation for reams of paper on end, I'm more of a person who writes a little lets it rest for a while and then just decides to add to it when another idea rises to the forefront in my mind that's why at times(well most if i must be candid) my writing and blog posts tend to be very sporadic and disjointed but well that's the way i write and i hope people like it… and writing like this well this just brings me to my second point that writing from my desktop just seems a lot more convenient to do so.. in a simplified yet powerful interface which i seem to like and well as this is the only desktop blogging application i know of this is what i am going to use.. as always i think i am going to stick with my way of doing things that is adding on things in the from of edits unless they are part of an entirely new article for which i have a blog post or need a new post for..

umm now well what more do i say actually there is a lot more but i don't want to spill it all out right now so I'm trying to pick and choose how to behave like an onion if you get the analogy from “the blind side” i would be very glad because then i know you have seen one of the finest and most touching movies i have seen in a while….

lets get back to why i stated this blog to updating you on my progress regarding all those things and more which i posted in my first post..
well regarding all of those goals it has been abysmal on all fronts in part due to my bout with diarrhea and in part due to my laziness, the former i am now on meds for so it is a non issue and the latter i am trying to take the first step to remedy by writing this blog post lets see how far that takes me.. as i end this blog post for now i hope more edits come today with more blog posts in the days to come i sit to study CRE for the nth time and hope that this time i do finally finish the course… best of luck to me :)

EDIT:
Well this was a rather unexpected day.. didn’t really get things off quite as i had planned with CRE giving way to sleep in a matter of minutes and that gave way to dinner which again made a place for sleep… and eventually i had to go attend a meeting  for this newsletter that i am involved with and then was talking a dime a dozen with friends which took up till 6 in the evening and finally after a little laziness i decided to start preparing for my seminar which comes up on Saturday, and incredibly i couldn’t find the exact term i have to give a seminar on even on Google!!!(I mean not easily at least) I never thought i would really see the day when that would happen… after a lot more searching i finally discovered the term in a few textbooks and after finding the term in a couple of books i started looking around and have found a little more information regarding the same and well despite the super busy start of the week that i have ahead of what with a lab report to complete drawing full days, a seminar to hear and last but most tiring of them all 2 i repeat 2 BYJU classes to attend i get that this is going to be a hard one to live through but i am sure i will succeed and you know what the surprising thing is that despite so much work which i somehow am confident i will find a way to wade through it is real and abject fear which seems to settle into me regarding the upcoming sessionals and that also more so regarding the two subjects of CRE and TP more than anything else.. so i think tommorow waking up at 6 in the morning is in order and with CRE first on my agenda of things to attack lets see how things go regarding that and well as they say tommorow is a new day i want to jsut add i hope it brings success to me too… :)

Well first off i think apologies are in order,
firstly for the long absence from the blogosphere i think that is being remedied from this post itself so thats one thing taken care of....
secondly for me completely falling off the situps bandwagon but this was due to prolonged(actually just 3 days but it felt like 3 yrs) battle with diarrhoea and lets me just placate my self by saying i was jsut giving my body to recuperate from the deadly bout it had just come out of...
now that the apologies have been taken care of lets see.... i had my first BYJU CAT class for 2010 of this semester recently... he finally got down to business compared to the earlier where he would just wax eloquent about how awesome a teacher he is and how he can kick TIME and IMS's ass when it came to prepping us for CAT 2010.... i never really believed him but hopefully he will inspire confidence in us as time goes by and more classes are taken... this time we did quadratic equations and inequations.... a lil boring if  i say so my self but not that difficult atleast in the first lecture... on saturday i plan to sit down and practice it from a couple of books just so that my concepts get embedded firmly into my cranium and i dont forget all of it come november.... on the engg education front not much progress has been made i know i know i must sit down sonner or later and actually get to studying my other subjects but gos are they boring.... :( :( .... i have only donw a bit of CRE till now but now with the issue of the Transport Phenomena book to me from the library book bank i think i must start studying that too...
so now as far situps and all my other work is concerned here is what is planned for tomm lets hope i finish it...
a restart of the situps from Week 1 Day 1, studying Transport Phenomena and PEDD, and thats about it....
really tired right now so dont really want to start talking about all the great TV shows i have been watching recently... lets leave that for another later time....

Well Well Well... this is hot off the presses and although most of todays post will be enclosed in an edit this is just to announce my completion of week 1 day 1 of the two hundred situps challenge with a grand total of 73 situps combining all the sets and a max of 20 in the last set..... :) :) i took breaks a lil longer than the 60 seconds recommended though so next time im gonna try and maintain it pretty strict so that i get toned as said in the ask men article i read recently... progress regarding the couch to 5k run is still stagnant but hopefully i can kick it off soon...

Pyaar Impossible Review

Here it is as promised the Pyaar Impossible Review
WARNING: Spoilers ahead!!! Dont Read if you want to leave the story a complete mystery!!!

Rom-Com's are those kind of movies which will always be judged negatively its because to fit in to the very genre into which they are classified they have to be slightly light handed with the amount of drama they infuse into a story to still keep it frothy and comedic enough if that is even a word...
that is exactly what one gets with Pyaar Impossible... while no one can deny that there have been many movies both from Hollywood and Bollywood with better stories and just that extra dose of drama which melds into the story like sugar into curd but sadly that is one of the places where uday chopra's clear lack of experience in writing and screenplay composition come through in leaps and bounds.... at the very basic level the story of a geek falling in love with a gorgeous gal is one done to death a billion times over but one must remember that its only because cliches work that they exist in the first place at all...so one must give points to him for keeping the base story similar to the mould yet different enough to not make it a completely tiresome experience... the dialogues and editing though could certainly have been much spiffier and done great service to the film... on the performance front the performances by both the leading ladies in the film priyanka chopra and the precocious yet naughty daughter of hers pull of great performances with the meagre fodder of dialogues given to them... uday chopra shows flashes of promise one scene in particular being the thai tradition scene.... dont worry if you dont get it when you watch the movie you will certainly understand... the visuals in the movie both human and other wise look amazing which as a young hot blooded male are important enough and i am sure the girls get enough eye candy with Dino Morea looking extremely dapper as the villain all through out....
so in conclusion i give this film 2.5 out of 5 and a timepass watch rating...

well as you might have noticed with the lack of an edit in yesterday's post that i never really got down to studyin for CAT or my regular college studies....
its been three days n already im skipping ufff its gonna be a long journey ahead... but as i write this i have my CAT ims maxprep material open in front of me and i am just about to dive into the world of CAT english... wish me best of luck here i go beginning my journey to the door of CAT 2010......
an edit should follow soon......

EDIT: Well some start is better than no start right so thats what happened with me today in my CAT studies after finally managing to kicj them off today i got lazy after just the first chapter on articles in english and barely made it through the firs couple of pages of the following chapter on parts of speech before slamming the book shut and moving on to the few pages of transport phenomena which i had actually gone to class for... all that over in 45 mins i felt kinda good having made some headway atleast and hope to really improve in the coming weeks hope that does happen lets see.. on another note i go to watch pyaar impossible tomm so expect a review here tomm.... been getting a lot of mixed reviews regarding the movie and while all agree that its not great by any measure of even the most liberal imaginations it might be good or it might be bad... tickets bought i will experience this one for my self and lets see if uday chopra is any good at writing scripts(something i doubt) n even if he isnt can the lovely priyanka chopra ( who i absolutely adore btw can salvage her role at the very least).....

other than that well even though i might have kickstarted the two hundred pushups programme yesterday day 1 week 1 of which starts monday i am failing badly on my diet and eating fried high calorie food from home left right and center and u know what i guess what they say about food is correct when its not there u might not wanna eat it but when its right in front of you u tend to eat way too much.... so hopefully from tomm i try once again to manage my diet a little more sensibly but for now im off to snack on a nature valley granola bar which has been teasing me since 6 in the evening... more updates soon ciao!!

I find simple titles work best... at times it does help to add in a lil bit of a description to what one is about to write in the following post but in blog writing i find this and finding out which words to put in your labels/tags call them what you may one of the most tiring things to do...

well i start and stop ar even squat on a lotta blogs some which i have let go others which hold too much sentimental value to let go and others still which i hope to actually come through with on a good idea... but hopefully this isnt any one of these...

this blog my friends is a place where i hope to share the various goals i have set out for my self this year which in clude my constant cliched battle against the bulge, my goal to crack CAT 2010, to study harder this time or atleast this sem and all the other tiny myriad of activities we can end up doin with our time... i will keep you guys updated some times freqeuntly at others not... but lets just hope this new year starts out with a bang...and even if it doesnt we still got the whole year ahead of us... ola!!!

EDIT:

well this is how i guess im gonna keep adding to my posts whenever i feel like adding some thing or saying something more....

today i set out my goal for my aim to get fit... i just found this sprightly little site called two hundred situps and found it interesting... seeing as in how i cant even do 5 at a time i have decided to take up this challenge and see if i can beat it... along with that for my battle against the fat monster i will also take up the challenge of the one hundred push ups 3 weeks from now and resolve to start eating healthier bit by bit...

tune in tomm to find out what my initial test result was...

ooh ooh and before i forget i start CAT prep tomm too follow me as a try to 'bell the cat'

corny true but i like it ;)
