Examinations 2009, this semester gonna kill me

Hi there!! for all those who know me, and a warm welcome to all the first comers.

Well i dont think that you all Know that, I aspire to be a Biotechnologist in the coming future( HUH!! Indeed...)

So, in order to be the one I am going through with my third semester, session ending exams this month. But they are going like hell, and I am continously in the fear of FAILING!!!

My report card as i assumed is something like...

M301( Mathematics)
Surely will fail, and supply will get me a year back.However the exam on 16th Nov was not that bad, and i think that I will manage a B grade.

BT301(Structure of MacroMolecules)
Buddy, there is definitely something wrong with my genes. I am not getting anything. What's glucose anyways??
But to my heights of astonishment I rocked the paper. Now, I can proudly expect a A grade in it.

BT302(Biochemistry)
DD!! She will definitely try to drop marks out of me.Supply sure.
After the exam i am sure that I wont be getting a supply , but ya paper was not that great, not at all in fact.....a C or D grade will be greatly welcomed.
Better then failing...

BT303(Microbiology)
Scheduled for 24th of November this month. The only comments I have for it is"Tell me the syllabus yaar??"

ChE321(Unit operations)
C M Narayan ki jai!!!

ChE322(Process calculations)
I do think that this paper will go well.Anyways I am keeping my fingers crossed for the exam on 30th November.


Dekho Bhai logo, do pray for me...

Bye

Kaise kahein....

As I was sitting , doing nothing some time ago. I dont know what happened, as i was trying to cry, cry my heart out, but I could not. I didnt know why. But all I can say ki whwnever I like anyone or anything either it is claimed by someone else or it goes so far far away, that I can never even imagine to have it. And its been my routine of loving and losing from a good span of time. So the following words came out of my pen...

Kya dekhoon jahaan ko mai yaaron, foolon ne mehekna chhod diya.

Baitha joi ashq bahane ko, ashqon ne bhi aana chhod diya.

Mile hume wo har pehlu, jeene ki tamanna sab bankar.

Maut ka bhi karein ab hum kya yakeen, zindagi ne jo jeena chhod diya.

Kab se khada hoon chau-raste par, koi jeeta hua boot hoon jaise.

Dukh dard humesha rehta hai, yahaan se yaaron ne guzarna chhod diya.

Dhoonde kahaan ab kaun kise, kya kare zaraa ab tum hi kaho.

Saanso ki talaash bhi khaak karein, sab khona paana chhod diya.

Muddat se jagi hain ye aankhen, dukhti hai tere hi tabassur ko.

ab raat ki chahat kaise karein, Raaton ne bhi sulana chhod diya.

Baitha maikhane o mehfil mein, rahon me pade jab-jab jo-jo.

Jaamo ka mazaa kya khoob karein, saqi ne jo pilaana chhod diya.

Gumnaam hua badnaam hua, maukon mein humesha nilaam hua.

Thokar khakar baitha jyon hi, kahin aana jaana chhod diya.

Chaha jise poore dil se, wo kehte hain, na gaur karein.

Chand kadam hi naape the, unne toh milne ka thikana chhod diya.

Ek arsa hua kuch yaad nahi, aabaad nahi barbaad sahi.

Dard mitaane ki khatir maine , yaadon ka bahana chhod diya.

Ab kaise kahein unhe hi chahte hain, wo khush hai wahaan kisi aur k sang.

Hum khushi dikhaye lakh magar, tune dil ko toh diwaana chhod diya.

Aankho mein nami nahi thodi bhi, ashqon ne jo aana chhod diya.

ashqon ne jo aana chhod diya...

Swine flu : A fearful tragedy

Today Swine flu has spread its leg even in India.With Almost 1300 people suffering infected from the disease and deaths of about a dozen , its has became a nationwide cause of concern.The symptoms too do not reveal much about the disease in the early stage.However what all we can do is to take care and have a look and precautions about its prevention.

Swine influenza (also called H1N1 flu, swine flu, hog flu, and pig flu) is an infection by any one of several types of swine influenza virus. Swine influenza virus (SIV) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs in pigs. As of 2009, the known SIV strains include influenza C and the subtypes of influenza A known as H1N1,H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3.

According to the CDC, in humans the symptoms of the 2009 "swine flu" H1N1 virus are similar to those of influenza and of influenza like illness in general. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. The 2009 outbreak has shown an increased percentage of patients reporting diarrhea and vomiting The 2009 H1N1 virus is not zoonotic swine flu, as it is not transmitted from pigs to humans, but from person to person.

Because these symptoms are not specific to swine flu, a diffrential diagnosis of probable swine flu requires not only symptoms but also a high likelihood of swine flu due to the person's recent history. For example, during the 2009 swine flu outbreak in US, CDC advised physicians to "consider swine influenza infection in the differential diagnosis of patients with acute febrile respiratory illness who have either been in contact with persons with confirmed swine flu, or who were in one of the five U.S. states that have reported swine flu cases or in Mexico during the 7 days preceding their illness onset." A diagnosis of confirmed swine flu requires laboratory testing of a respiratory sample (a simple nose and throat swab).

The most common cause of death is respiratory failure, other causes of death are pneumonia (leading to sepsis), high fever (leading to neurological problems),dehydration (from excessive vomiting and diarheaa) and electrolyte imbalance. Fatalities are more likely in young children and the elderly.

Prevention of human to human transmission

Influenza spreads between humans through coughing or sneezing and people touching something with the virus on it and then touching their own nose or mouth. Swine flu cannot be spread by pork products, since the virus is not transmitted through food. The swine flu in humans is most contagious during the first five days of the illness although some people, most commonly children, can remain contagious for up to ten days. Diagnosis can be made by sending a specimen, collected during the first five days for analysis.

Recommendations to prevent spread of the virus among humans include using standard infection control against influenza This includes frequent washing of hands with soap and water or with alcohol-based hand sanitizers, especially after being out in public. Chance of transmission is also reduced by disinfecting household surfaces, which can be done effectively with a diluted chlorine bleach solution.

Experts agree that hand-washing can help prevent viral infections, including ordinary influenza and the swine flu virus. Also avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth with hands prevents flu. Influenza can spread in coughs or sneezes, but an increasing body of evidence shows small droplets containing the virus can linger on tabletops, telephones and other surfaces and be transferred via the fingers to the mouth, nose or eyes. Alcohol-based gel or foam hand sanitizers work well to destroy viruses and bacteria. Anyone with flu-like symptoms such as a sudden fever, cough or muscle aches should stay away from work or public transportation and should contact a doctor for advice.

Social distancing is another tactic. It means staying away from other people who might be infected and can include avoiding large gatherings, spreading out a little at work, or perhaps staying home and lying low if an infection is spreading in a community. Public health and other responsible authorities have action plans which may request or require social distancing actions depending on the severity of the outbreak.

IMPORTANT:

I have heard of a homeopathic medicine called " INFLUENZINUM-200" which is supposed to prevent flu in the body and make it resistant to the flu causing pathogens.You can try it for the sake of yourself.

Take care...

First day @ Biochemistry Lab

It was to be my first day at the biochemistry lab of the biotech Department of NIT ,Durgapur.But as usual i was late and my entrance was a bit of embarrassing.

I was to the lab on time but as the teacher wasn't there I went downstairs to the Chemical Engineering department to have some water.When I returned to my department i was shocked when I didn't see any one of my classmates outside the lab.They were already into the lab And I came to know that in spite of coming on time was late to the sessional class.

As I entered the lab premise and said excuse me ma'am, the teacher there she said something which I couldn't hear actually and couldn't reply.The whole class was laughing at me.It was a feel that just drove me down into the earth ....so deep that I was thinking if I could ever manage to come up again.

To the height of embarrassment when the teacher said to come I started putting on the lab apron on the doors instead of getting into the class room.

So it goes that I totally messed up my entry at the lab...But as it the first ever lab of my career I find it quite cheerful..The rest of the period was cool and silent..

Last day of my job...

Starting with it I thoght that working would be fun and I can also have something to say to my friends.Thoda bahut chamkaana bhi toh padta hai.

But as day passed,may be 3-4 weeks into my job I felt like boring..I just was counting my days and waiting for the day on which my two months will be completed and I will leave again for my home and to my college after ward..

So, the day came and I had only one day to spare at My office.I dont know why but I was all drifted and was feeling very low and didnt wanna leave it.

The first month into the job I didnt made any friends at my office...But next month all the employees were my friends and that was I think the the main reason for me feeling so bad about leaving the job.

Ya,it was today..At 7 pm I left the job and was crying my way back to my cabin.However I got the salary today but that to didnt seem to make any difference.Somehow I just didnt want to leave.

I realized that I have to leave it for my own good.Means are you nuts to spare your studies for a job...

The story goes...and it in the making continously.

Leaving job hurted so much..I cant make If i burst out crying tommorrow whaen I will be leaving ahmedabad after 2 long month and my best buddy Mandeep..

I hope I wud be able to keep myself...

Comfortably Numb Lyrics- Pink Floyd

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

The First Rains : A story I cant forget.

Its not been so long ago that in the July of 2006 the stories takes place.Even today when I remember the day I couldn't help myself crying not in remorse but in happiness.

Mansoon have come and you all must have experienced the first showers of this year and like every year i am being reminded of those days which were.

We were into an exhibition on social science all of us,the friends ,participants,the bad boys and the cool girls .We all went to take part in the Social science exhibition that month.

For me it was a great opportunity as I along with my friend Sangeet were the strong defenders to be selected at the national level quiz.We were the champions at all the low levels and have reached the final test.But luck didn't turn out on my side and I got out at the written test only.Sangeet he made it to the stage qualifiers.

That night as always we were playing in our rooms ,getting the lights , the medical kit all destroyed and were like on no mans land.But I Was very sad and disturbed as i Could not make it to the next level.All my friends they tried to make me happy and going but they could not.

It was the time I was recently engaged badly towards a girl Whom I respect today also. I was just like mad for her,I got late to school daily but the day I saw her I started making it on time to the school.She was a subject for me change many things in myself,just for her.For her I would do anything like bunking my chemistry classes and all to see her at the garden and pretending to be a good boy but having a eye on her behind the back of our teachers ..This was just the starting of the never ending affection from me towards her..

But as I got out I was like crying and all.This girl she came daily to the exhibition and used to be my only hope for some company I Flirted a lot with her,But she never seem to mind it as if she doesn't know what's happening.

That morning I woke up early as always coz everyday I would go out of the school to receive that girl,Dressing myself in the best costumes I had and bathing myself in Deodorants.Taking belts caps and all from friends ..." Yaar,do min k liye de naa..Abhi Lauta doonga."

That day was the day of the first showers,I got a Manchester united belt from rupansh and my umbrella..I got out to the bus stop to get her..Waited 10 Min's and there she came.I Gave my umbrella to her ,It was raining!!!

The day passed and all my friends they were like gone sly that day.All the time they were mocking me saying her name and provoking me to propose her and i was like..."No..Not at all."

Lunch time came and as i haven't ate for almost a day i got my plate full of everything...Rice,papad,sweets and rajma and what not.But i could not eat....Why that was the hardest part that day.

As I was about to eat My friends they started pushing me towards her and I was Like so ashamed and embarrassed,but my friends they were like kiss of death .They would die but will make you do what they want...

Hu so I stood right behind her and could not eat anymore and my friends were whispering...

"arre kab bolega?"

"Kya Kya ...Prashant Kuch kehne waala hai kya?"

"Saal a gadha hai"

"Sahi mein"

"Oh my God I love this Pair"

""Its so cinematic.Prashant be fast"

and I was blushing like hell.She too had a hint of what was going to happen but played like she doesn't know anything...This was yet another of her trait that made me love her.

So as you may guess I could not say that to her.I could not Propose her..How could I man....

By the time it started raining again and as the meals finished everyone rushed to have some water..so did she.Sonali came to me and said,"Pagle bol naa."I said"Arre wo gussa hogi toh??."

"Arre nahi!!" "Haan Ho jayegi" i said.

"Abhi wo paani pi rahi hai jaa aur bolDe.Nahi bola toh fir mujhse bat mat karna"

I couldn't help myself but said,"Okay I am going.Let me have some breaths in.. Huh...Huh.."

I went to her ,She without giving me any chance said,"Bolo Kya bolna hai?"

I was dumbstruck..."Wo...Aa..waise... Matlab..Not so important..aise hi..kuch nahi"

"Okay bye then"...I said no don't go...but i could not stop her..I Had a second thought and decided its now or never..so go for it..Go Bravo go...

So it went..I proposed her with the longest lasting blush on my face..and hers too...I it came out to be that she said nothing but just asked,"What do you want to hear from me?""

What could I say...I was dumbstruck again and was speechless.She interviewed me for about an hour and said,"Okay, come to school on Monday.We will see."

I thought no chance..she will definitely deny my proposal.I was not so happy..but I could Now feel the burden off my heart...

In the evening it was raining again she was about to go back to her home...I was as usual with her to drop her out..She on the way said "Yes.."

I was like dumb ,and deaf again.....The first showers were like a bliss for me.

Every year I remember that day..And feel myself so lucky to be with her...

MASKA BUN :The Legacy...

When i reached Ahmeda bad I knew nothing about the city ,its people ,their cultures and the eating habits.

 

Now it is almost 5 weeks that I am in Ahmedabad and the one thing that got close to my heart is the MUSKA BUN.

Mornings or evenings..the favorite fast food here is this muska bun.

 

Pani poori(golgappe,fuchke,foolki and many other synonyms) are just killing you cant even think of having them,chat is very rare so whats left is Muska bun.However it is not a compulsion to eat the bun but you will be automatically charmed towards it as you go on living here . 

It is essentially a normal bun with jam or butter(jam,butter etc. are called muska) and it is just delicious.

 

Morning tea with muska,evening coffee with muska..so it goes..one day you get muska addict.

 

You cant find Any liqour shop at ahmedabad it is banned here so you may guess why a wife here shouts at her husband like this,"You Rascal,again sitting at the mohans hotel...You just cant you spend your money on something better than this bun.Come home I will make you taste the real muska my broom and sandals are waiting.."

 

Elderly people find their friends at shops they all enjoy their youthful memories and college times stories but never forget to have muska bun on the table.

 It is a legacy.It is the lifestyle.And i have no shame in confessing that I am addicted to it.In place of my afternoon lunch I have Muska...so you know...

 The deadly muska will follow you...you just cant resist it....

 

Enjoy....

Paise Haath mein...feels cool

Hi...well I am not yet paid for my work because the salary is on 7th of June.

And from last 1 week meri haalat is very very pathetic as no funds makes no fun...I was just a moneyless fellow saving every single rupee for my taxi fare.

But today I got to my boss and ask him if he could give me some advance as I am in damn need of it...

He gave me a blank look...as I was about to leave hesaid "How Much?"...i said"2000 rs will do!"

He took his bundle of notes and gave me 2000 Rs...they just felt like heaven...Aaj to masti karoonga...oye par koi nahi abhi ek hafta usi paise se kaam chalana hai....

Bye..
