While EgoSurfing today, I found out that a gaming website talks about me ... http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId%2C111226.
Ego Surfing sure reveals interesting things. One of the few could be searching for SAURABH GARG on YAHOO returns a page where 9 out of 10 resuts talk about me :D Can't stop grinning !
Another update ... I finished reading Honour Among Thieves by Jeffery Archer and since I have run out of material to read, I am back to the good old Godfather... I am trying to remember the sequence of events now. Another option was FountainHead but unlike a lot of people I did'nt find it that "intellectually stimulating" !
Shall We Dance !!!!
Its been long since I posted something on my BLOG ! If I go by the records it would be 9 days. Lots of things have happened... Exams got over, started with vacations, started with learning finance fundas and waiting for summer internship to start.
I was back in campus and happened to go for the latest flick - SHALL WE DANCE. Featuring Richard Gere, J Lo and Susan Sarandon ... was a nice time pass. As always when I was watching the movie, I tried to be the protagonist and apply my brain at that hard task called thinking... Throughout the movie I was trying to anticipate, guess, what would be his next move, what would be the next dialouge ... din't get that lucky today, was wrong most of the times. I know I can't dance ;).
Again talking about the movie itself, the movie was based in dunno which city but there were quite a few shots of the skyscapers... I had this funny feeling of going to the city at once. Would build the greatest sky scraper of em all. Talking of building reminds me of FountainHead by Ayn Rand. Before I read this one, I thought Ayn Rand was a male but it turned out that Ayn Rand is a female. Anyways while reading, I could connect at times with Roark, Waynand and Toohey. No no, am not trying to say am the coolest but a trying to say that at times I was thinking what they were thinking. I plan to read it once more before I write something about it.
Ever since we had vacatoins, have read two more fictions. Both by Grisham. Runaway Jury and King of Torts. As always both were amazing. However they failed to inspire me to be a lawyer like the previous ones. Probably the main character in both these was'nt someone exceptional. I can compare the chap from Runaway Jury - whats his name, with Ellsworth Monkton Toohey in the FountainHead. Both of them could persude people to do things that people would'nt have done under normal circmstances. I would certianly like to do that. Talk of evil ;)
I have started with vacations and have absolutely nothing to do at home. I plan to re-learn guitar (as if I knew it in the first place), re-bulid my website (as if I had it in first place), re-gain my position as the richest person on the planey (as if I was)... Of the three things mentioned above, I plan to achieve atleast two. They say two months is a long long time to do anything. I might even re design the BLOG if I don't find anything else to do.
And abhi I am out of ideas what to talk about and what to write etc...

Gaming and Flashing at its best !
The creator of these famous "rooms" - Takagism (I hope I got his name correct) is truely a master of the trade.
He has combined two things that have truely facinated me. Computer Gaming and Creativity. Let me start with the gaming part first. I statred with games very early and statred with Mario, Contra etc. and I still remember playing Tiny Toons at a shop near my place. Then MAC happened and kAgE introduced me to the wonderful world of REAL computer gaming. I had played DOS games like Writer Rabbit and Bricks before but the real gaming started at the cafe near our college and on the LAN between me and kAgE. It was mostly Quake 3 Arena but the important thing was that I got attracted towards it like anything. Then it was Babel where I had a chance to feel the action on the consoles. Amongst them, it was the GBA SP that I thought was the coolest.
Flash - The Macromedia product. I have been using since version 4 and now they are upto version MX. Things have changed. Macromedia as a copmany has given a lot to the internet. There was a time when it was mandatory to have a flash intro for every website. Although things have changed but still the amount of funtionality that can be given to a static page is awesome. Hats off to the creators of this wonderful software.
Coming back to the original rooms... I must admit that I was not able to solve the puzzles but as they say you can find stuff on the internet and I googled my way to glory. Talking of google brings me to another question. Which amongst the Google and Yahoo is better ... (Reason is that when I search for my name on both these search engines, on one, I am on the top of the world and on another I am just another jack in the town).
I am famous !!!!
I always thought, how nice it would be to know someone famous and be a celebrity. I would get to boast about my rezendovous with the rich and famous. My friends would be envious and jealous of me ...
My wish was suddenly granted one fine day when I recieved the following mail ...
Wow ... Yasser Arafat knows me !

My wish was suddenly granted one fine day when I recieved the following mail ...
Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. Suha Arafat, the wife of Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader who died recently in Paris. Since his death and even prior to the announcement, I have been thrown into a state of antagonism, confusion, humiliation, frustration and hopelessness by the present leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the new Prime Minister. I have even been subjected to physical and psychological torture. As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with everybody in the country at the moment.
You must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the discovery of some fund in my husband secret bank account and companies and the allegations of some huge sums of money deposited by my husband in my name of which I have refuses to disclose or give up to the corrupt Palestine Government.
In fact the total sum allegedly discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of about $6.5 Billion Dollars. And they are not relenting on their effort to make me poor for life. As you know, the Moslem community has no regards for woman, more importantly when the woman is from a Christian background, hence my desire for a foreign assistance.
I have deposited the sum of 21 million dollars with a Security financial firm in whose name is withheld for now until we open communication. I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your bank account for safe keeping and Investment opportunity. This arrangement will be known to you and I alone and all our correspondence should be strictly on email alone because our government has tapped all my lines and are monitoring all my moves.
In view of the above, if you are willing to assist for our mutual benefits, we will have to negotiate on your Percentage share of the $21,000,000 that will be kept in your position for a while and invested in your name for my trust pending when my Daughter, Zahwa, will come off age and take full responsibility of her Family Estate/inheritance. Please, if you are honest, I am going to entrust more funds in your care as this is one of the legacy we keep for our children. In case you don't accept please do not let me out to the security and international media as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith and send to me your complete personal contact information.
May God bless you and your household.
Yours sincerely,
Suha Arafat

Jana Gana Mana - National Anthem
Nothing special about the day, just that I am listening to my national anthem ...
Happy Birthday - Sandeep Agarwal
Sandeep Agarwal aka Sandy aka Sandiago celebrated his 126th birthday on 27th March at MDI. With his birthday, he is officially a member of the oldie club at MDI. Other notable members are Nishant Nigam, Amrit Rao Pejawar, Shiva Kumar Chikkamath, Siddharth Sinha, Sandeeep Pandya... and few more names... They are so old that I can't remember their names. They have been lost long time away.
So dear Sandy was so exited about his birthday that he sent a mail to the entire batch himself and asked people to come out and give him a bashing.
Talking about birthdays and bashings, I hate being a friend of someone who has a birthday. Reason being the free kicks and smearing with the cake that you get ...
More to follow soon (may be after the exams...?)

Blow Your Head Off At Every Small Thing
MR. "blow your head off at every small thing" ...
There is a very cute friend on mine who gave me this name about 5 minutes back. I don't know how someone can call me that when I think I am never pissed off at anything. I am ready to take whatever comes my way...
But if she says so, I really have to ponder upon it. After all she is a very very good friend and if she says so, it ought to be true.
She would do anything I tell her to and is one of those people whom I can depend on. Just that she can be very very irritating at times. Another thing to talk about her would be the time keeping abilites. She always makes sure that she is on time. I know she has to get ready, have breakfast, call people up, she is busy but she would always be on time ! (... Intelligent people would have decoded this ;))

Happy Holi
Wishing everyone a colorful and happy H O L I !!!!
This is a small naration of what happened at the MDI hostel on holi ...
It was about 8 in the morning and the entire hostel was as good as dead. Then suddenly, this DholWala enters the hostel and wow all the people are up in a flash. Then someone of us realizes that the ladies are still sleeping. So the DholWala is routed towards the girls hostel. The obvious happened.
As all of us gathered behind the academic block, there was a pit full of mud water, eggs, what not and we all were thrown - yes THROWN - in the pit and then follwoed buckets full of the same mixture.
Then there was a round of Bhaang and few people who never knew the taste of something as divine as alcohol were found doing interesting things.
Anyways we had a fun filled day and was one of those days that I won't forget after passing out of MDI.
The Itchy and Scratchy Show !
The Itchy and Scratchy Show is very famous among Bart, Lisa and friends and they are very famous among me and few friends and I want to be famous some day...
Coming to the point, if people have been reading my BLOG regularly, they would have noticed that I have a piece of IBM ThinkPad KQ1 R51. I even talked about it here. The issue is that its just 3 months old and I already have a broken key. The latest accident or should I say certificate of excellence would be the four scratches that I have put on the display of the computer !
Yes four BIG scratches on the LCD. Somehow it has to happen that I want to keep my things in perfect order and I end up messing them.
Anyways the scratches are so fine that only a few lucky people (who have been gifted with a far stretched vision) would be able to notice it.
