I speak

Nothing special happened.But yes got the news
that my schoolmates are planning for reunion
Sounds GREAT!!!!!! In past also we planned
million times to have get together but always
failed...lets see wot happens this time...
have class now so will write more later....
See how buzy or lazy i am that it is hard to
find time even for writing a blog :P

Nothing special to write so just writing this hindi sher
which i got today
"Maut k baad bhi yaad aa raha he koi,,,

Mitti meri kabar se utha raha he koi,,,,

Do pal ki zindgi aur de de khuda,,,

Meri kabar se udaas wapas ja raha he koi"

Dont want to explain what it means.. find yourself if you
dont know hindi.....:D
I find this language to be the most rich/scientific language in the
world..(among those which i know :P)..See in hindi we
have different titles for different people like we call mums
brother as MAMA and father's brother as CHACHA really different
names for different relations...And Similarly for elder people we
call them with more respect like (AAP for you) and for younger
(TUM for you) the point is not in calling younger as tum but in calling
the elder as AAP...I can speak a lot about our so called "RICH
INDIAN CULTURE AND HISTORY"...Today we are lagging in race of
advancement just beacuse of few ill traditions in society(admitted)
but those were also introduced in the society by highly influencing
or powerful people for their benifit and which later on became tradition
But surely today also our culture is one of the best as lots of such
ill traditions are totally removed from the society.But it is pathetic
that we ourself are not taking or following the good things of our
culture.Today's generation is just blindly following the WEST or dont care
attitude.Our culture tells us to learn good things from everyone so it
is good certain extent.Now we are not all interested to study all this
even our actual mother language SANSKRIT but there in U.K there
are universities doing research on SANSKRIT and are studying our
HOLY BOOKS.Only thing i would like to say is beware!!!!
Just wanted to add: Speed of light was calculated to be 300000km/sec
few hundred years back but in our holy scriptures and books written
thousands of year back time taken by light to travel from moon to earth
was written from which if we calculate speed of light it roughly comes to
be same.I am feeling Proud :D
Well about today same stuff classes...oops i missed all the classes today
just attended the lab and then MBA coaching...then worked out some
problems of the assignment...means saw how vibhor has done those :-$
Nothing more special....
Want write somethings which my mom always say...
1)Extreme of both friendship and hatred is not gud...so now i say extreme
of everything is bad :P
2)Do not spit looking upward(towards the sky)..it will come on you only..
means Never be so much proudy that you stop respecting/caring about others it
will finally hurt you..
list is too long.......All other mothers are the same
Too much for now

ciao

Happy Valentine's Day.. Happy Valentine's Day..
Will you be my valentine :)


History of Valentines Day


Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged
between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this
mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of
Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do
know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as
we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman
tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with
this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three
different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.


One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third
century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made
better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for
young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the
injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages
for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered,
Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to
help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and
tortured.


According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine'
greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in
love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who
visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he
wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an __expression
that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends
is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic,
heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the
Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and
France.


While some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of
February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial --
which probably occurred around 270 A.D -- others claim that the Christian
church may have decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of
February in an effort to 'christianize' celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia
festival. In ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and
was considered a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleansed by
sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat called spelt
throughout their interiors. Lupercalia, which began at the ides of February,
February 15, was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of
agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.


To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests,
would gather at the sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the
founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or
lupa. The priests would then sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for
purification.


The boys then sliced the goat's hide into strips, dipped them in the
sacrificial blood and took to the streets, gently slapping both women and
fields of crops with the goathide strips. Far from being fearful, Roman
women welcomed being touched with the hides because it was believed the
strips would make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day,
according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names
in a big urn. The city's bachelors would then each choose a name out of the
urn and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches
often ended in marriage. Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine's
Day around 498 A.D. The Roman 'lottery' system for romantic pairing was
deemed un-Christian and outlawed. Later, during the Middle Ages, it was
commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning
of birds' mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of February
-- Valentine's Day -- should be a day for romance. The oldest known
valentine still in existence today was a poem written by Charles, Duke of
Orleans to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following
his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. The greeting, which was written in
1415, is part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London,
England. Several years later, it is believed that King Henry V hired a
writer named John Lydgate to compose a valentine note to Catherine of
Valois.


In Great Britain, Valentine's Day began to be popularly celebrated around
the seventeenth century. By the middle of the eighteenth century, it was
common for friends and lovers in all social classes to exchange small tokens
of affection or handwritten notes. By the end of the century, printed cards
began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology.
Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a
time when direct __expression of one's feelings was discouraged. Cheaper
postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending
Valentine's Day greetings. Americans probably began exchanging hand-made
valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began to sell
the first mass-produced valentines in America.


According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion
valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentine's Day the second
largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards
are sent for Christmas.) Approximately 85 percent of all valentines are
purchased by women. In addition to the United States, Valentine's Day is
celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia.

Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages (written
Valentine's didn't begin to appear until after 1400), and the oldest known
Valentine card is on display at the British Museum. The first commercial
Valentine's Day greeting cards produced in the U.S. were created in the
1840s by Esther A. Howland. Howland, known as the Mother of the Valentine,
made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known
as "scrap".

Yesterday we played a match with E-top wing
in our hostel ground.Again we played to win..
i gave stunning performance with 5 wickets in
5 consecutive balls.though first was runout but
that was also my independent performance then
while batting also..i scored about 30 runs with
2 siixes and 2 fours.Still we lost the game AGAIN
:(( noone performed today frm our team...but i
feel one big reason for our 65% defeats is
negative/selfish attitude of our openers and lack
of fourth/fifth bowler.Wotever that was my career
best performance :D
Had some argument with as#*%*@ Gau... of opposite
team.I am using harsh words because it is he who always
talks about idealism,justice and all such big big words on
our college discussion board(newsgroup) and was behaving
so childish(using some polite terms for him) .Grow up man!!!
but no hard feelings for you...but for what you beleive YES

today again my fren gave his views abt me
"SURESH: Seriously I Think He has a Brilliant Mind
But gone totally wasted...Has Great Sense of humour
..Her has Changed A great deal after 1st Year..
The reason I know but dont want to discuss...
Dil ka bahut acha hai..Emotional hai..Good..Jaisa hai
waiasa aaj kal nahi hai...B what you naturally are..
Apni haar isko bardasht nahi hai..shayad yeh iska negative
aspect hai"
Dont know but something is seriously wrong with me..
or with my lifestyle...something like wrong clock pulse
in digital circuit :P
Thats too much for now..

The key to success is "concentration" so if you
dont have then you need it...Seriously,go and
find it out where you have lost it.
This concept was never in my life..So always i
have to do hardwork if to succeed.
Earlier i was a child and was not serious abt life
but now i am too much serious abt something and
that made it even more worse.
I know my blog is now more of a psychic or
depressed person which i was in actual but not
now only problem is lack of concentration...which
i always say "my priorities are different" but now
i am in middle of the sea...do know which way to
go or what to do actually....i got a feel about the
path but that leads me away from "so called
temorary happiness" or dont know "ultimate goal"
Now small small charms and happiness matters
like few days ago i got the comment"Brilliant mind
got wasted in IIT Kanpur"
Dont know how to react....
but i dont want my life to be ruined....but ruined
is very strong word i think...i m not that much
depressed lolz

Pain Is Temporary and Glory is forever....
