The computer may have improved our lives greatly, but these crappy antiviruses are a real pain in the ass. I am onto my seventh anitvirus now, and believe you me they all suck. Don't think any one has ever protected me against any virus, but they surely have bugged me a lot by slowing down my lousy computer and throwing crappy messages of which I can't make heads and tails.
Heard about this antivirus war. Not between the antivirus manufacturers and poor hackers but in fact among the antivirus companies themselves. The theory goes saying that all companies spend more money in actually making viruses which other antiviruses wouldn't be able to anti-out, and hence boost up their sales. Now if they are making all the viruses, what are the hackers doing, they are getting jobless. Or are they the ones who have formed this anti-antivirus-company group to fight the evil and are just misunderstood, damn they are like e-age freedom fighters. Or were there ever any hackers, just another government conspiracy!!!
Maybe its all Microsoft's plan, the satanic Bill Gates' another way to get richer. Intentionally make so many faults in the operating system making it vulnerable. Haven't we all heard (though few would have tried) that Linux, Mac n all have real low virus problem. Microsoft is like the corrupt government employee taking bribes from the antivirus companies to help em out. Or a way to rule the world (read an article where Nostradamus claimed the end of world by a devil which the author claimed to be Gates, with all the references sounding actually quite convincing)
Well whatever it maybe, I am in a desperate need of a good antivirus which doesn't fuck up my computer badly, and course its pirated version is easily available for download. So if you know of one, do suggest me.

This blog stinks
This blog is dedicated to one of the most common phenomenon of this world, the thing that we all do (some more than others), FARTING!!!
Yeah I am talking about the same gasto-intrinsic gas that nature makes us release. It comes among the top three pleasures a person can ever have, though its rank among sex and scratching an itch may be debatable, but it definitely stands alongside them.
So why does this beautiful creation of nature stink. I am sure a medical practitioner would give a brilliant answer to this question but still if you ask me, well if flowers which blossom out of that lousy mud which is the waste disposal system of a large number of animals and they have well comparably a nicer odour, then why don't our farts???
If you ask me the answer to this problem is simple, man is supposed to stink, nature created it that way. We were created to smell and that too real bad, it is our natural odour. Just smell yourself after a sprint, or without a bath and deo for a few days.
So next time your the guy ahead of you in the queue farts right on you, do not start flinching your nose or make weird faces, take it as God's gift to mankind to remember them of their true self. So keep smiling and keep farting.
PS: The title of the blog isn't intended as a pun, I know this blog really stinks.

God and Science ?
Since the beginning of time there have been two very contradicting terms in usage...God and Science, somehow these two have never been able to some accord with each other. The aim of science is to explain everything in rational terms, then why doesn't it attempt it in doing the same with the concept of God. Sometime back after watching a couple of documentaries on string theory, I ended up in a weird but not totally discussion with a couple of my friends, hereby I present some parts of it, though not in strict sequence.
Lets start with Indian history, not much but just a little thought over it. Indian old age gurus were among the most enlightened people in that age in the entire world. The concept of atoms and molecules which were brought up in the west not much long ago (considering the time of reference here), was proposed by Kanada as anu and parmanu in 6th century BC!!!!
Keeping that thought in mind lets move ahead and take up an assumption that the Indian gurus/maharishis were really very smart and had been successful in obtaining higher divine knowledge, the ultimate question (whose answer may or may not be 42) and all were all known to them, but they were a bunch of real arrogant people, who didn't believe in spreading their knowledge to the common people, it was meant to be understood by only the worthy. So what they did was that they wrote huge teachings in form of real short texts in sanskrit (which btw is the only non ambiguous language in the world...another proof of their superiority), these texts could be understood only by the really intelligent beings.
But some of these rishis wanted to spread this knowledge to ordinary people (like you and me), but explaining such high level fundamentals to us fools proved to be a very grave matter to them, and unable to do so (ahh finally a flaw in them), but still wanting the people to follow a code of conduct that was meant to be important for a proper living, they created a super-divine-larger than life creature which they called GOD, he was the almighty and everything that was said by him was to be obeyed by one and all, in this way they got the unintelligent folks to follow the right method of thinking and learning.
OK you might just call it piece of crap, and move ahead, even I am not saying its absolutely true, but be a little subjective over the issue and consider it. As I mentioned before the discussion started after watching a couple of documentaries on 'String Theory', so where does that come in between, well here it goes. String theory has not been proven right now, so no point put up from it can be validated, but its still termed the next "big thing", so we do not go into that aspect.
We live in a world of 3 dimensions (4 if you consider time also), now string theory proposes from 9 to 11 dimensions, huh what the hell, where do these extra ones come from and go to, does my stomach bulge into other dimensions too. Well they say it simply that, if you are on a 2-dimensional plane, you cannot visualize the third dimension (wheres the 3rd dimension of the television), similarly you cannot think about the other dimension from our tiny 4-dimensional world. Consider the wall behind you, string theory says that there might be another dimension right through it (see where J K Rowling got the idea of platform 9 and 3/4), but don't start running straight into it, it also says to pass through it you require an attempt which comes around to infinity practically. But they don't ridicule the concept of some things passing in and out of these dimensions.
So now just for the sake of argumentation, lets take up some completely ridiculous theories (made up by yours truly). Remember the nice old rishis, they wanted us to also be able to in contact with the other dimensions, but explaining this concept to us simple folks was too hard even for them, so they created God, the divine creature, at the other end and designed a method of prayers to reach him. Coming onto this concept of prayers, what I have believed and understood is that when you are praying you are actually looking into your subconscious mind (which btw may as well be another of those dimensions), God here was nothing just a mode to encourage people to pray.
I am sure you would be thinking I am a real dumb and must be some weird theist to say all this BS. Well even the concept of sun being center of our solar system was considered ridiculous initially, so it would not dishearten me, and neither would it stop me from giving you another outrageous example. =P
Remember those old movies (and even some new ones) bringing out the concept of life after death, reincarnation, the concept of hell and heaven etc. Maybe it isn't completely fiction, maybe there is some stroke of reality in it, though not as shown in the movies, but again moving to the other dimensions. When a person dies, his body perishes, is that everything to it?
Maybe you have a different form in other dimensions (for similar out of body concept please watch the movie or read the novel K-Pax), so maybe we are just changing our forms. We get 'reincarnated' in a different set of dimensions, hell and heaven where are they, in another dimension, well why not.
If you have read so far, I am sure you are in a mood to give me a good beating now, so not torturing you further I would now conclude this now.
God is a concept which has never been fully understood, String Theory which is being worked upon intensively in a hope that it would be understood, well maybe these two un-understood theories can be understood simultaneously, one helping in explaining the other.

Indian Psyche and Sex!!
In the US of A it is said that men think of sex every 6 seconds, but what about India. Sex which has always been considered a taboo, a thing that is always hush hush is actually the most prominent thing hovering in the minds of Indians. The recent controversies regarding pre-marital comments and skin-flick successes is a proof of it. But considering it to be a new phenomenon restricted only to the present generation is not entirely true. This is neither a new topic nor ephemeral, it has been a part of our psyche forever.
Recently I was reading the novel, 'Train to Pakistan', by Khuswant Singh. In this beautifully crafted novel, written more than four decades back, I came to know about some really common terms used very innocently by even a four year old today. Simple words like saala and sasura are very common in the common man's lingo. But these adages are actually sexual innuendos devised by out ancestors but due to their prolong usage have been forgotten for what they actually stand for.
'Saala' one of the most commonly used word in Indian language today, actually stands for 'I will sleep with your sister'. 'Sasura', is having similar thoughts for the receptors daughter. These meanings are taken on assumption that Khuswant Singh has a very good knowledge of these innuendos, and descrepencies regarding the meaning or any other point of origin should be directed to him.
This really startled me and I thought of conducting a survey, well basically it was just chatting around with friends, but the word 'survey' gives it an air of professionalism, so would be using this word. So I was thinking to strike up conversations with people which was as distant from sex as possible. The first topic that came to my mind was cricket, a game played predominantly by male species and as the discussion was to be held with straight guys it should have worked, so I sat in my hostels TV room last night watching the match along with some buddies. Yuvraj Singh hit a six, there was a huge roar among the guys around me, I was just about to start my discussion with my neighbor, when the TV channel guy not wanting to waste my time showed a beautiful damsel who was ecstatic at the shot dancing in the aisles, this arose a roar which was much larger than that was provoked by the sixer followed by some comments which I would had to edit from this blog, leaving me to chuck the topic and concentrate on the sexy girl I mean the intriguing cricket match.
I am planning to start a second survey, this time on grown ups but it is really difficult and risky, I sure as hell don't want to end up on the topic of sex while having a general discussion with my Dad.
So if you have any other bright or even dim ideas for the theory please do give 'em to me.
