My exam story ...

Oh well my exams on and I just realized I haven’t blogged for quite sometime now and this idea of sharing my exam experiences came up and I just could not beat the temptation of posting it now ....

Here I present to you some things I think are funny on my way to crack crazy papers

• Week before exam 1st thing I do in the morning is tell myself well today I am going to start studying and well why is it really nearly impossible to study on the day you actually PLAN to do that ?? Anything more interesting crops that very day. (BTW yeah I know anything is better than studying)

• Study Time table……. Aah well don’t never ever make that coz at least i never follow them !!

• Why on earth do I feel sleepy just by 10: pm the day before exam, when I can sit and tweet till its 12 : am on the other days !!

• Why Does the TV always have my fav movies running just the day before my exam !!

• I watch movie in PVR the weekend before exams, and one starange thing i noticed is all good movies release when my exams visit me !!

• After Iam finished watching a movie or if I find the movie boring (boring in the sense uninteresting ….. more boring than studying !!) I text my friends asking if they started studying and well most reply saying they haven’t !! my true true friends they are !

• Twitter gets more and more fascinating (or is it monotony of exams which makes me feel so :?) and before I know an hour or so is lost tweeting (not that i mind it !)

• And well whats with this one freaking friend of mine who calls to ask doubts, . She really makes me panic I mean she ask me doubt in chapter 7 or 8 when iam still stuck up with 3 rd one !! Aah ok her call does make me concentrate more but well she is a pain ...

• Ok In the morning of course exam do make me get up early by 6:am and I am really amazed at how much I can study in that short period (6-9 am) almost the double of what I ve studied the day before

• I mark some pages telling myself I will be studying this when I reach campus well fully knowing I just cant do that coz all I do when Iam there is chat away about what is difficult and what may come what may not, how was the movie , what type of correction this lecturer does etc etc…

• One friend inquires me how much I studied and stuff and when I tell them I saw a movie and dint study well they tell me not to lie coz I said the same thing last time and ended up getting more than all of them !! (how freaking is that now i swear i watch movies and tweet before exams so what if i get highest n stuff)

• And well there's this girl who gets least of them all, she tells me she dint sleep all night !!! OMG I mean no sleep still miserable marks, ok may be she was awake, but not necessarily studying!!)
• And well I tell you this week with exam just does not get over seeming longer than eternity, except in the mornings time flies when I am actually seriously studying this is when I hope time ticked of a bit more slowly
  

• Before the exam Someone asks me an answer to a question which sounds like greek to me ….. I just tell her its not important I dint even touch that part forget it , and well guess what 90% of the time that particular question has to crop up in my question paper so I can spend 3 hours cursing myself for not looking for the answer when i could have easily done that !!
  

• And this crazy papers always seem to know what Ive studied best and all 10 markers are from what i haven't studied well and all 1 markers are on topics I can write pages about !!

• Cheating : chits I never take them, as for copying from others well nobody around me seems to know the answers I need help with !! so better keep quiet and write how much I know lol

• And yeah additionals what’s with these people who stare at me as if I was caught red handed cheating every time I call for an additional, and yeah one friend of mine who is writing exam in the same room is like remembers accurately how many additional I have taken when I myself forget the number !! (girl i mean dont you have better stuff to do in the exam hall concentrate on your paper aur mujhe nazar mat lagao!)
  

• When iam out of the hall and tell my friends the paper was difficult they ask me not to lie apparently becoz this friend of mine has told all the number of additional I have taken (does number or quantity actually matter!)Oh well iam actually surprised at how much i did type in here lol , but well what I mean to say is life's tough and exams are tougher and now iam in that stage so better get going and start studying….. ofcourse like all tough times this will be over soon and then no more late night studying, stress and panic ..!!

After all this ill defo be happy to have survived the week . Wish me luck and do share your exam experiences here are they similar or different if so how ???

aah well iam over st

aah well iam over status update limit !! @ritick

What makes twitter special???

From about a month or so twitter is becoming more and more special to me, now its almost impossible for me to live without tweeting. There are various reasons for twitter being special: Celebrities, friends, contests, sharing photos, videos and music, increasing traffic, instant news, trends, and the list goes on …

To start of the month of October on Gandhi Jayanti this tweet from chetan bhagat made my day or rather the whole month. Yes Chetan bhagat did start following me on twitter and after that there was only good news in store for me for the whole month and beyond …

I saw an add of tatadocomo announcing the #dietalk contest on social networking sites…. I was thrilled, dieting on words and letters talking in less than 15 characters sounded cool. But the prizes sounded cooler an Acer Betouch E101 and 8GB ipod everyday …

So I started dietalking right away. It was a lot of fun tracking all contestants and everyday after winners were announced I was more and more inspired to #dietalk. Finally on the 7^th day of the contest it was my time to rejoice, as I logged in to my twitter account around 3 pm and entered my @replies section on twitter only to be surprised to find a tweet from @tatadocomo mentioning me as the winner I was shocked, surprised, elated and in awwww all at once ..!!!!

Seeing my name in the winner’s page was the most masaaledar and memorable event of my life …..

After the #dietalk contest I kept dietalking as I was too addicted by now, and just a couple of days later I found one of my dietalk pals tweeting this

“I just entered the great giveaway @mydala. Win some of the coolest gadgets at the mydala contest page - http://bit.ly/7uMjw #mydala”

This sounded another fun contest to me I entered this contest to with nothing to lose and a lot to gain. I kept Retweeting this message for about 4 days until another surprise this time from mydala.com awaited me yes no prizes for guessing I won here too (an awesome 4GB pen drive) Cool aint it ? If your answer is yes then read along lol

Later through @flipkartdotcom I found another contest on twitter from @tempostand the #tadka contest. This is another masaledsar contest where you can win coupons from flipkart.com and well sorry to bore you but I won here too!!! Hitting a jack pot you say lol yeah kind of lady luck being very kind to me.

All these events have made me an even bigger twitter addict now, the best part is these contest have helped me in making more and more new friends and making twitter more and more special for me.

So it is quite clear that the past few days have been the most happening one for me on twitter. And you can win too while the @tatadocomo contest is already over but follow them as another contest is on its way, but the #mydala contest is still on here is what you have to do

* Facebook: join mydalas fanpage on facebook here http://www.facebook.com/mydala and using the word ‘mydala’ post a crazy slogan on their wall

* mydala.com: visit http://mydala.com and guess what mydala is all about? The closest guess gets a Digicam

Also read 6 reasons which make twitter special

Wake Up SId: Finally something Brilliant

Director: Ayan Mukerji
Genre: Youth
Star Cast: Ranbir kapoor, Konkana sen, Anupam kher
Rating: ****

I saw wake up sid just today and deeply regretting for watching so late . This one is a brilliant movie. All i can say is fabulous and spectacular and definite watch for all especially youth.....
Ranbir and konkana rock on screen they look so real, and it is such a clean movie. Debutante director Ayan Mukerji finely portrays Sid's transformation from a Boy to a Man.
It is so real that you can not only relate to it but draw parallels with your own life. yeah there are people who will compare this one to laksya and dil cahhta hai but watch it for Ranbir who delivers an award winning perfomance.
Sid (Ranbir) a final year college student spends his dads money and is very carefree about life, he befrnds aisha (konkana) who is complete opposite to ranbir . When Sid fails in his Exam its finally time for him to wake Up!!!
Music is good, humor executed well and the movie has its emotional moments too. The best thing about wake up Sid is it gives importance and portrays all aspects of care n love by parents, true friendship and most importantly love.
So, all i would say is this excellent movie is strongly recommended!
GREAT movie must watch. A feel good film

Blue:doesnt live up to hype and hoopla.

Director: Anthony D'Souza
Genre: Action / Social / Thriller
Rating:**1/2
Star Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Lara Dutta,Zayed Khan

(note: may discourage you from watching the movie )
Blue ..........
To make it short blue lacks script, has no intensity n highly predictable fails to keep you glued .
The under sea treasure hunt, the bike chase or race, Kylie and the concept of Blue gives the film an international feel.The music is not too good but Fiqraana n chiggy wiggy stand out
I would recommend you to watch discovery channel and for stunts i recommend you better watch Dhoom.
Akshay delivers another flop, kylie minogue was good but not enough for the titanicish blue from sinking.. lara was hot, and katrina what was she doing in the movie ??
Some one joked on twitter that soon doctors will be recommending to watch movies like kambhakt ishq and BLue instead of sleeping pills and now i agree 100 % with this i felt incredibly sleepy all through the movie and me and my sister spent most of the time nudging my bro for forcing us into this movie of all (all the best ,main aur mrs khanna, wake up sid) .
BLUE has style and incredible star cast too, visual splendour of the sea is captured well.
All in all its a big disappointment,Watch it if you're a die-hard action freak like my bro who forced me into this .......
if you really want to watch then watch without expectations.
