2nd Test,India VS SA,Eden Garden : A Report

this cricket match had the tension intruding into my grit.and with nothing much important by side,i thought if i could bind the match into a brief blog,it would be cool.
What a game!It went into extended play on day 5 to decide who will be number 1 in Test rankings! To be fair enough to both teams, South Africa dominated only 2 sessions in this match. India played 4 good days of Test cricket, with the fourth day washed out due to rain. But South Africa, competing hard, went down fighting hard, losing by an inningsand 58 runs, but most importantly, they batted out time. Winning the tiss and electing to bat, the Proteas lost Smith early but made a good recovery to be 218/1 but then, a collapse saw them bowled out for 296. Amla and Petersen scored centuries, but none of the other batsmen could play well. Zaheer Khan livened things up with 4/90. In reply, India declared at 643/6, with centuries from Sehwag, Tendulkar, Laxman and Dhoni, Sehwag leading the pack with 165 runs. The South African bowling suffered at his hands. India declared on day 3, and things were not looking too good for the visitors yeterday, but bad weather intervened and the Proteas had a bit of a hope with 7 wickets in the bank today. They batted grittily and saw off the first two hours, but after that, wickets started falling and at one stage, it seemed as if play will finish by tea. But the tourists hung on and in the end, fell short by just 15 minutes as Harbhajan's five-foresaw India winning the game with good support from Mishra. Hashim Amla was the lone man standing between India and victory and he stayed unbeaten in the end, with a brilliant 127.
Hmm...Its really heartening to see the win coming our way.

..just in case u would like to know,pessimism and optimism,both are actually superficial.one is hopelessness,other is dream.Admit nothing,deny everything and make counter-accusations.And according to my calculations the problem doesn’t exist.huh.optimism.and u thought freedom of speech is wonderful–right up there with the freedom not to listen...didnt u.jackass.
btw i recently saw the most beautiful shooting star of my life.and read a thousand splendid suns,very different from how today's authors usually write,hosseini has one more added to his fan club.
as of me,art is why I get up in the morning; my definition ends there.you know it doesn't seem fair, that I'm living for something I can't even define,a dream to build something which has been nowhere ever before.And there you are right there, in the mean time.
and rest is bingo !

dec 7th and hence,

people who know me could have easily calculated my chances of taking CAT on dec 7th,rightly so,which later,moments after registering for cat seemed an oikotropic one,a brash one.preferably,i could have written cat on 5th or 6th and had been with dad on his birthday,dec the 7th.its been okay anyways and the day was great,albeit a little frenzied(onus to the travelling that day).my dad,the dad,is a guy who brings back that utter sense of living everytime we,the family,which is quite rare,are together.guys like amitabh bachchan and etc's go overrated because there are people in this same world who know things they dont,who decide every action with vision,who give up an unnecessary future hype,all on the grounds of  a sound knowledge that it could bring unnecessary perturbation in the tomorrow .most importantly,they,guys like dad,know that life is one,love is its essence,whom to love,where to share time,and what to live for-all,so decidedly,so indubitably,so manifestly.genius is an art,thoughts are its reflection.oh father,i just love you,words will always fall short.
CAT(the billi) was kewlll..cool man ;) .. a guy came and sat beside me,i dont remember knowing him ever,said a hi..awww..i started thinking,winked at him..but the way he gestured was like he knew me...but man,i dont forget things so simply,especially people..am sorry and sad about being rude and little selfish,if u really knew me,and if u ever read this one.i was reading the instructions for whole 15 minutes of time i got,i was reading it again and again,to get used to that knack of reading fast,but who understands that..the woman superviser passed me 10 times in those 15 mins making weird faces and the only time i caught with her stare..i clearly noticed that she meant to say..'are you mad'..lol :).but trust me,it was worth it,carrying that speed into the comprehension was soothing.attempted 3 comprehensions,wow.am so satisfied.altogether verbal,my achilles hill,was nice.rearranging paragraphs and completing the paragraphs were things i always loved and that was all i got.2 rearrangements and 2 completions.9 q's from comprehension.1 grammatical correction.1 word usage.1 vocabulary.1 word-relation.so 17 in verbal.thats good and from cat point of view,weird..isnt it!!
in quants,i had hiccups.why so?because i had no idea that questions were going to be easy and no belief either,but they were.i kept on thinking..whats fishy man!didnt look at the options wherever possible,and solved the q's till the end.it ate time but i was relieved and confident.did 15.hopefully,all correct.
in DI ,which i attempted in the last,certainly i had to run short of time,as a rule.missed q no's 59 and 60,which on a mere look,looked quite easy,data sufficiency ones.awwwwww.anyways,it was okay too.solved 3 caselets,pure calculation..total 16 attempts.dont know,if silly mistakes have been made yet again,but i tried my best not to.
YES,I am expecting calls.it was good.and as of my self-analysis of cat, 'sanguine' is the word.

tweets,nov 25.

kal ho naa ho,swades,chak de india are my favs..bcz of those movies..shahrukh khan is my fav..different roles.amazing screen presence&acting
amitabh bachchan is so much over-rated..i can see the mysteries of his life in his eyes..abundant unsatisfaction..in shahrukh,i see pride.
shahrukh khan carved his way up in a heroic pattern..married his love...helps evry1 he loves..nthng fake abt him..bold and sensational.wow.
amitabh bachchan is diplomatic.he is a guy who probably knew to use people..he knows to manifest resources..he acts fine..but a legend,no.
as a role model,anyday,i will pick shahrukh khan over amitabh bachchan.as an actor too.as a man too.as an indian too.

  

then,amitabh & shahrukh will stay forever..but what about me..how many know me..100..or 1000..at most 10000.y the fcku m i being a critic.
sorry amitabh.for now,i better shut up.

met a girl,thought she was grand..fell in love,found out first-hand...went well for a week or two....then it all came unglued.
in a trapp,trip i can't grip..never thought i'd be the one who would slip...then i started to realize....i was living one big lie.
She fucking hates me..trust
she fucking hates me..love
I tried too hard and she tore my feelings like I had none and ripped them away

She was queen for about an hour
after that shit got sour
she took all I ever had
no sign of guilt
no feeling of bad, no..

that’s my story, as you see
learned my lesson and so did she
now it’s over and i’m glad
’cause i’m a fool for all i’ve said.she fucking hates me.

someone has transformed from a cute,bubbly,hay wire,young gal to a much more philosophical,matured,oriented woman.just yesterday when i saw her,she was playing with guys,laughing at all,naughty to the core and today,it looks like a magic,she has become partly spiritual,partly modern,her fashion has gone alternative,she has finished a hundred novels and she knows what love is.its so heartening to feel happiness in her nerves.look at this,things she cant live without are clothing,shelter,family,love and money,she is good at chess and she hates music.cheats and deceits turn her off,intelligence and public display of affection makes her warm.she is a mirror cracking material as far as looks are concerned and she can do anything in the world for her beautiful mom.she understands the various manifestations that life brings and she goes on to describe life as a beautiful gift.she admires shahrukh khan and madhuri dixit and the guy of her dreams has got to be shahrukh types(successful,romantic and intelligent).
what a change.and what a feeling of happiness,not because i loved her but because of the glitter that i see,flash of a thousand emeralds could sigh away and the beauty of all oceans could dwarf..

aim of the month : floating the business idea on a small scale,in the locations where the profit expected nears 0.if it gives even 5,that would mean a 10000 from the strong ones.
projected profit ratio :
weakest market            1
----------------    =  --------
strongest market         2000

p.s. i have developed a strange crush on sushmita sen.i will never not marry her because she is old or that she has a daughter.infact,this is the crush all about.

Economics Of Selecting Alternatives.

Overnight I have been reading The Black Swan and a little about the economics of selecting alternatives.Habitually,am used to making a notes of whatever i read,ever since my mom taught me this.This is my 1st time of using blogger over a note-book,doesnt look much different except for the writing and typing actions.Hey,the keytabs dont actually support many of the mathematical symbols which could be used while representing the important expressions related with this subject,afterall humans are the best machines ;) .I have tried to use only the most important ones.
Firstly,The Present Worth Method :
This method evaluates the desirability of an alternative method relative to some base point in the present time(usually year 0).Basically,it looks at the present equivalent of all the cash flows of an alternative study period. 
        An alternative is profitable only if its present-worth(PW)>=0.When choosing from a set of alternatives,the most desirable alternative is the one which has the most positive PW.
To find PW as a function of i % (per interest period) of a series of cash inflows and outflows,it is necessary to discount future amounts to the present by using the interest rate over the appropriate study period(years,for ex) in the following manner :
PW(i%) = F0(1+i)^0 + F1(1+i)^-1 + F2(1+i)^-2 + .... + Fk(1+i)^-k + ... + Fn(1+i)^-n
              = summation(i=0 to i=n) Fi(1+i)^-k
where,
i = effective interest rate or MARR,per compounding period.
k=index for each compounding period.
Fk=future cash flows at the end of period k.
N=number of compounding periods over the total planning time.

to be contd...

haha,what do u say when u feel like hanging up on a call u dont want to be on..call u later,right...
same way,this topic bores me and there is gonna be no furtherance on this .. :)
(nov 15th,09)

november,oh the sweet november.

it has been a beautiful november.beautiful weather,beautiful people,and good times.in a city like chennai,where the sun glows at 35 centigrades all round the year,this month always brings cheers and chirps all through.it has been raining incessantly,the feeling has transformed from the previous 'do ur work and get back asap' to that of 'talking,having more cups of tea and coffee,flirting,laughing'.as far as i am concerned,i feel overwhelmingly relaxed,raring to go,the feeling of freedom...the feeling of flying..roobaroo roshni..hui subah..main jal gaya...suraj ko main nigal gaya... :)

rain
rain, rain, rain heal my heart that is broken apart
rain, rain, rain up above from the skies
rain, rain, rain pour here and clean my soul
rain, rain, rain there will be rain here, there will be rain there
rain, rain, rain wash away my pain
rain, rain, rain wash away my debts to pay
rain, rain, rain so tired it feels wash away my guilt
rain, rain,rain i will do anything for you to cover my tears of shame..

rain cant tell a lie-rain can be louder than a fly,rain cant be nice(person wise)-rain can make ice,rain cant bleed-rain can make a seed,rain cant draw a toon-rain can make a tune,rain cant be a loon-rain can make a monsoon..here comes the rain..oh look,its spring !!

now isnt that wonderful..happiness zooming into the soul. :)

(dream X plan) / laziness = success

i have got a tower of books lined by the corner of my bed,a couple of cartoons filled with a range of papers,pants and shirts thrown here and there awaiting laundry wale bhaiya(he has been unexpectedly late this time) and a number of diaries,notebooks mostly used for noting the complicated statistics and some complex debatable theories.
the books i have been aroud with are listed below..
-6 sigma by William Truscott
-virtually stat free six sigma by Praveen Gupta and Arvin Sri
-how to turn advertising expenses into investments by john philip jones
-making breakthrough innovation happen(how 11 indians pulled off the impossible) by porus munshi
-and,a novel to lend me a calm sleep in nights..the alchemy of desire by tarun j tejpal.
these apart,its been so long since played some sports,day goes by thinking,planning,working,surfing,reading,eating and sleeping.sometimes i feel strange about being so different from me.
anyways,here is something,simple but consequential and factorial :
(dream X plan) / laziness = failure but later,when pointed by a friend,i found a blunder in that.if laziness would increase,failure would decrease which is so wrong.
hence,the correction
(dream X plan) / laziness = success.
success would increase if laziness would decrease and vice-versa.
