HELLO! I am back again with some interesting verses and translated stories. There is a saying which I read in some Sanskrit book I don't recollect,
A coconut is hard from outside but inside it has sweet water.
It is really great that how these verses teach us about the behaviour of humans from examples.
One of these nature of man or rather every living thing is that, whatever we are or become in life, won't our bad habbits be the same?
Like if you make the dog a king, won't he still chew things? won't he still bite? it is our nature that is irrevokable.
And then there is a verse saying:
Where is knowledge for lazy person?
Where is wealth for an illeterate person?
Where is a friend for a poor person?
Where is hapiness for a friendless person?
Folks today I will write only this much as I am facing some problem. But next time I will return with some more verstories! That is verses+ stories! Bye...

THE ANCIENT LANGUAGE
HULLA! My exams are over so now I can blog nearly everyday! I was so happy today, I just adore that day when your final exams are finally over and you can do whatever you want. Play, party, sleep or go to a friends house and just chill no worry no tension. This should be the life.Be your mindlike!
But anyway that doesn't mean that I will forget some of those best studying days. The main language which used to be spoken in India in the holy era of god was Sanskrit. Of course, now in India, it used as a study language. I have heard children say. "Hell this is chewing my brain!" while reading Sanskrit. The main thing in Sanskrit is that it has many verses. Theses verses do not usually ryhme. But they carry a brilliant meaning. Of course i cannot write the verses here in Sanskrit or the 'Devnagri' language but i can translate the verses and make a story from it. Here are some of the translated stories:
Once there was a particular sea body, which asked a question to the passing by scholar. "Why, sir, is the position of the clouds which store water and the position of the sea which stores water too different?" the scholar was surprised by the unusual question. But he smiled and replied,
"The clouds which are high in the air and the sea which is down on earth, there is a particular reason hidden behind it, the clouds give or donate the water to the land by rain while the sea, only stores the water pouring from rain. Does it ever gives the water to anybody? And therefore it is on the ground low. But clouds donate and so they are up in the sky. Similarly, a man which donates rise and the man who keeps everything for himself is always low,"
Hearing the answer the body went back to the sea.
This story was really meaninful. And you can see that this verse was written many years back. There are hidden meanings in these wonderful verses! And now you have to guess one riddle which is also from a Sanskrit verse:
This is an object which does not have legs but still goes far,
This is an abject which is endowed with words but it is not a scholar,
This is an objct which is without mouth but speaks clearly. What is this?
This is a letter. The letter goes far even though it does not have legs. The letter is full of words and sentences on it but is not a scholar. When you read it, it is like the letter is speaking but again it does not have mouth. Isn't it brilliant? I will bring you such stories when I get more like these. Till then bye...

five point someone by Chetan Bhagat
The third book I read written by Bhagat. The first one, The Three Mistakes Of My Life was a good one but had a lot of argot language stuffed in it. Yes, this one has got slang language too, but in proportion I mean not in every sentence you say!
Five Point Someone, that 'somone' is Bhagat's protoganist Hari. It is written in an authobiographical manner, like any other Bhagat book.
Three friends, Hari, Alok and Ryan are roommates in India's best college campus, IIT. They have messed up their grades big time, Alok is the only person who cares. Hari is in love with a professor's girl so he is also like in a bit of a messy situation.
All in all, this is a fast paced Bhagat book. Great fun to read, I was literally not able to put this one down. Bhagat depicts how life in IIT is and he does it well as he himself has studied in the campus.
It is a 270 pages full of fun and all. The writing is so lucid and simple, the one which we talk in our real life, that it takes you into the book, enjoying the care free life of the three students.
3% of the story was taken by filmakers and made 3 Idiots, the world wide block buster. Forget the controversy, pick this book up and jump into a great enjoyable world. I will give it 4.5 out of 5.

NSA is being held hotage.
I think this is a book that every man who has love for unexpected twists, thriller and a great plot should read it. I plan to read Da Vinci Code next (I know I am a bit late) and other Dan Brown books.

CRAZY CARL: BACK AGAIN
I AM sorry i took such a long break with crazy carl, but i needed it. I took a break not only from crazy carl but also from blogging. Well, my four fishes died yesterday and i was in a need of something that can fresh me up.
IT WAS the last phase of the so called game. The stairs were looking good, nothing to worry about. Teddy stepped on the first stair and the stairs began to plummet. They were falling and with them, Teddy too was going down. It was as if all the hell had gone wrong, against him. Teddy screamed, he was on a brink of crying when the big fall came to an end. He was on the garden sand.
"Oh you got my butt!" Teddy shouted and moved forwards towards the gate, he thought the freak show was over, he had won, he had not been freaked up. But then Rick was too clever too leave it there. There was a honey comb over two trees which Rick had set. Now he pelted a stone at one of the honey combs and the buzzing began. He pelted another at the second one but missed but it hit the target in the second shot. The two combs began to buzz.
"What the hell is this?" Teddy said as he tried to open the wooden gate, it was locked. "Is it not yet over? What have you got for me, your mama coming to screw me up or what?" Teddy screamed. But mama was the least of his problems.......
HOW WILL TEDDY HANDLE THE HONEY BEES. FIND OUT, NEXT SUNDAY.

THE 'RE PUBLIC' DAY CELEBRATIONS
I had told you that I will not be bale to write, but I managed to write by taking some time out of my studies. In this post i am going to tell you how, in India, people celebrate 26 the January and what is the reason.
This date is one of the most important date in the history of India. We, the Indians celebrate this day when one of our most respected freedom fighter Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar wrote the constitution of India and we began to apply it from this date.
This date is called republic day because every man in India comes together, irrespective of cast and religion. There are long parades and marches in Delhi, the capital of India. Colorful dresses, dances, songs etc are sung. Every parade represents there states tradition. There is an airshow, and the hairs on our back stand up when we see those helicopters and fighters doing stunt in mid air. We, in our school, hoist flag and sing our national song. There is a patriotic feeling in every Indian, whether it is a child or a old man, everyone salutes the national, tricolor flag. 2008 was tragic year for us Indian's, after the 26/11 attacks shook the whole country. But in January 2009, just three months after the attack, no one feared to come out and celebrate this day, come what may we will celebrate our republic day and will show the bloody terrorists that we are not afraid of them.
Now I shall end my post, HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY!!

CRAZY CARL BLOODSUCKERS NEST: THE LAST FIGHT
Hulla! i wanted to tell you that i will not be able to write the next Sunday, coz again my xams are starting! well you see how pressure students have on their small heads? and so they are just ending their lives! this is not fair! in recent spate of suicides in the city, 42 people have committed suicide in the month, and the month is still not over! my god! the rate of student suicides is more than 25, i think these are all cowards, coz they are just running away from their responsibilities, ending lives is not the way you can just get away from your tensions. Have they ever thought how their parents will feel? well i just hope that no more suicides are reported. Live and let live.
The woman in the white became blurred and disappeared. Teddy grinned, 'to hell with it!' he shouted and turned only to find himself facing the wooden wall, where is the door? Teddy thought, he turned round and round, but did not find the door. 'What is this nonsense? Hey Rick! tell me where to go!' Teddy said.
Outside, Rick hushed, so at least Teddy had not yet found the door, which will lead him to.....
Teddy found the crack, it was just a crack that gave away the hidden door. Teddy grinned again, and shouted, 'hey Rick, did you thought you will hide the bloody door from me? you are an idiot!' Teddy opened the crack and the door became loose and fell. Teddy saw before him; an empty room and stairs, the stairs will lead him into the garden and through the back gate, out of the house, and he will win the bet with Rick.
Teddy began to walk towards the stairs, that's when he smelled something fishy. How will Rick just give him the last part with nothing as a challenge? this was like a game and every game had the last part, most difficult......
What is Teddy going to face in the last phase of the 'game' ? or is it yet the last phase?
