Ritika Aggarwal's foolish confrontations with Ashwani and Asha (and occasionally Vivek) and face-offs between Keshav Aggarwal and Yours Truly (Gopal Aggarwal). A desirable situation, with the Aggarwals (Gopal, Ritika, Keshav and Sawaran Lata) spending some time planning their course of action on the potential eve of partition, but not this soon, especially with the younger siblings' board examinations next year.Some points:Keshav's Airtel Internet Modem had to unnecessarily bear the brunt (28-July-2007) of the confrontation between real brothers. It's a sad part on the part of Gopal AggarwalAshwani is insisting that Sawaran Lata (grandmother) calls up Ashwani's siblings and get started the process of partition. All the while giving opposite signals to me.Funny are the trials fo Life, especially when you have wimp father...lolsMore on this can be found under http://gopal1035.blogspot.com/search/label/Confrontation .Like, I always All is God's Grace... :)--

It was a pleasant visit, though after quite some time. Keshav was not too enthusiastic to receive her, and actually avoided her, when he came from school. His opinion.

...the SSB Interview. Seems like that his pre-SSB training spelled his demise and he was rejected the first day. Well, all is God's Grace.But, here I have a proof to my theory that pre-SSB training by any private institution or whatever, is unnatural. Also, the botton post on this Orkut Message Board (requires login/registration) by a been-there-done-that Indian Navy Officer suggests so, but amidst suggestion for the pre-SSB training.My advice: don't go in for pre-SSB training by private coaching, at least I won't be going at any costs."Well, there is a God", Harpreet Singh would love to say, since he can legally reappear for the SSB Interview and as I told him, this time he would be presenting himself as a prospective candidate and will not try to get into the minds of the Interviewers. Best of Luck Harpreet!Harpreet Singh-2nd row, 2nd from left (pink turban, striped shirt).Also, Gopal Aggarwal (in the lead, black trousers, blue shirt)--

This afternoon, a young cow (in haste or foolishly), got herself

(wallpaper or larger images- click the images to open full-size images)...caught on the grill of the public park facing my house (1035 Urban Estate, Phase-I).A file photo of the park. The cow had got herself caught on the bottom-right end of the park.The family called me for lunch. When I opened my room (1st floor), I saw a cow in a strange position, and some other cows and bulls around her. Quickly realising the scene, and the passersby apathy, I rushed to kitchen, grabbed two rotis to comfort the animals.With luck, just when I was approaching the poor animal, a couple of guys on a motor-cycle, a rickshaw-puller and others stopped to help, and pronto, the cow was freed in moments. But, just before she was getting on the other side, her left foot slid into the grills- the people were screaming and I quickly lifted her foot and she was freed.She was still inside the park.Then, a young household boy, working (and possibly living) in one of the houses (on the west end of the park in the a

(Keywords: Shimla Trip of 2007)(wallpaper or larger images-photos open in a new window)Slideshow:On the Observatory Hills of Shimla,Himachal Pradesh, is located the Viceregal Lodge . Also known as Rashtrapati Niwas, it was formerly the residence of the British Viceroy Lord Dufferin.This is the most beautiful building in Shimla. It houses some of the most ancient articles going back to the times of the British rule.The Viceregal Lodge was designed by British architect Henry Irwin and built in the Elizabethan style during the regime of Lord Earl Dufferin. Its construction started in 1880 and was completed in 1888. Lord Dufferin occupied the lodge on July 23, 1888.You can see the splendour and grace of the colonial era in the Vice regal Lodge.

Keshav Aggarwal (brother) has begun insulting me, bloating on
2007-07-12 06:26:00
...the influence of father (Ashwani Kumar) and his mistress Asha. I think he assumes himself to be far superior to me and other ppl who are not willing to bow down to Asha and clans.Even visiting his room, is a cause enough to be humiliated by him.This is enough-... Why should I put up with this? Just because he is willing to serve as an errand boy to Ashwani and I am not? उसको मुंदु बनना है तो बने, why should I even think of sacrificing my Future for the foolish Ashwani, who can't even control his sexual desires and has married two women, teaches tuition only to female students, and eyes a girl named "Mini" in Phagwara. Fuck off you assholes!This is my Life. Since, now I would not be accessing his computer, and (rightly so) focusing on the preparation for the written test of Combined Defence Services Examination (CDSE), to be written on 16Sept2007, I won't be coming online for quite a while now. Quite simply, no access to computer for months a

Body Language: Left Right Left, SAB TV, India- A photoshoot of characters reveals insecurity by the usual tough guy, on the sincere guy's charisma
2007-08-01 22:12:00
(medium sized image-click on the image to open full-size image)First of all, jump your eyes to the leftmost two characters.The left guy is the sincere and cool one, while to his right is the Life-hardened tough guy and the silent leader of the group whose "help", even the staff takes occasionally.This is the role, these two play in the serial day in and day out, but during this photo shoot, besides the other characters with their unique personalities, the tough guy, is surprised and mildly shocked to see the usually "little" guy commanding an appeal, at least more than him.Lessons to be learnt: Whenever the lens is watching, maintain your composure no matter what. Once you have been shot, you don't know, where and when, and more importantly, how many times, it will be republished, archived and viewed.Links re the Serial:Left Right Left official websiteSection on SAB TV's websiteThe fictional Kanchanjunga Militay AcademySuggested Reading:Body languageCredits:Image courtesy SAB TV--

Are You a Blogger too?

(wallpaper or larger images- click the image to open full-size image)Hi fellow Blogger s, and Bloggers-to-be :)I began blogging around March2006, and since then have created a couple of blogs out of which, a handful have survived and are going pretty well.Though I am a little hesitant to admit, but still I believe that blogging (the platform whether blogger.com, wordpress.com or any, does not matter) has changed my thoughts.Now I sometimes think of events and places in terms of their value as a possible contribution in the public encyclopedia Wikipedia, and how would a certain incident appear in my blog etc.You get the flow?The above comic strip by Randall Munroe (original location) captures it beautifully!I can't comment, if this emotion sweeping the Internet coummunity all over the Earth is good or say, bad- but I definitely like it :DIt is referred to as Emergent Democracy,Emergent democracy is a possible side effect of blogging.

Looking back at the Army Inititives...seems like a yesterday only
2007-08-07 09:15:00
....10 April, 2005-The NCC Camp which was instrumental, and still helps me in deciding whenever confronted with the Civil Life VS Army Life. In fact, it was after 10+2, when I joined the NCC Army Wing with a couple of classmates. They lefty within a week, I persisted :)Then I thought, that we talk to lot of people, Serving Officers, Retired Servicemen, but they may have different expectations from the army- hands on experience will help me evaluate myself.So, I volunteered for the Army Attachment Camp, as this is the closest to the Army routine, and I ever (with God's Grace only) become an Army Officer, it would be becuase of the this NCC Camp.08 July, 2006-The tryst with Sainik Welfare Office, Jalandhar and teh mini-SSB taken by the Col.
