Haircut

Few days back I had my hair cut really short. I believe it is called Zero Cut or something. Well to tell the truth it was hated by almost everyone. But the interesting part was the comments and reasons which people had for my haircut. I am listing some of them here.

1) The most common one was that it was a Ghajini cut. For heavens sake theGhajini cut has a stupid looking line running over the head and I obviously dint have that. But still it dint stop people from commenting that I am trying to look like Aamir Khan etc. etc...

2) Since I had the cut during the holidays some people asked me if I had been to Tirupati :-)

3) Some of my friends felt that I looked like the Australian cricketer Stuart Clark and my cousin had posted my photo on his Orkut profile where his friend has commented " I this J.P Duminy ?". To visit his profile click here.

4) I was also asked if I was trying to save money on haircut by making a complete vasuli of the Barber effort.

5) My cousin felt I was trying to copy Akshy Kumar from Tashan.

Well ands to tell the truth it was surly not because of any of the reasons stated above. But it was to some extent due to this beautiful TITAN ad. Its not that I wanted to copy Aamir's hair style in the ad but I just wanted to "shock my reflection."

History of India - Funny

Note : All the spelling mistakes are Intentional.

The first known permanent settlements in India were in the Indus Vally. In this time the people lived in two cities called Hariappa and Mujhe-na-Daro. These cities had the best drain system in the world and hence India has suffered from brain drain from the ancient times.

In olden times there were two big families in India. One was called the Pandava and the other was called the Karova. They fought amongst themselves in a battle called Mahabharat,which inspired the famous catch line MeraBharat Mahan.

In the third century BC, India was ruled by Morya dynasty. They were called so because they all died a nasty deth. One of their greatest leader was Chandragupta Morya. His present day decedent include one Mr. Mellito Morya from GEC. Later India flourished under Ashoka the Great also spelled as Asoka. He looked like Shahrukh Khan and romanced Kareena Kapoor. He was able to concur large parts of India as he had a strong six pack body.

Then came the Tughlaqs who shifted their capital from Delhi because of its pollution. They were followed by the Googles. Akbar is coincided to be the greatest Google because he was able to convince Jadoo to marry him. Jadoo is believed to be a alien from another planet. The Google famously said " Hum apne dushmano ko dund dhund ke marte hai". Hence they inspired the name of a famous search engine.

Then came Shahajahan who had 14 sons. Family planning had not been invented at that time. He also built the Taj Mahal hotel for his wife who now sleeps there. The king sent all his sons away to distant parts of India because they started quarrelling. Dara Seiko was sent to UP, Shaikh Bhakhtiyar was sent to J & K, while Orangezip came to Bombay to fight Shivaji. However,after that they changed its name to Mumbai because Shivaji's sena did not like it.

After the Mowglis came Vasco the Gama. He had actually come to Goa for a holiday from Portugal. But he liked the place so much that he decided to stay here permanently and even called his friends and relatives to stay with him. However later in 1961 they were all evicted by Mr. Nehru as they did not pay the hotel rent. Then came the British. They brought with them many inventions such as cricket, steamed railways and laws like IPC 377. They were followed by the French who brought in French fries and laundry. But Robert Clive drove them out when he won the Battle since the British had the queen on their side.

Eventually, the British came to overrule India because there was too much diversity in our unity. The British overruled India for a long period.They were great expotents and impotents. They started expoting salt from India and impoting cloth. This was not liked by a gujju by the name Gandhibhai who wanted to produce his own salt as the british salt was not Iodised. So he started his own company to produce salt and called it the Swedish moment. In this production he used the latest technology which he had learnt in South Africa called Salta-Aagra. It is because of this technology the salt pans in Goa are called Agars. It is speculated that South Africa gave him the rights to use this technology in return for the rights of IPL 2, though there is no confirmed report on this.

In 1920, GandhiBahi was married to one wife. Soon after he became the father of the nation. In 1942 he started the Quiet India moment, so named because the British were quietly lootoing our country. In 1947, I

In 1947 Pandit Nehru asked the British for freedom at midnight since the British were afraid of the dark. At midnight, on August 15, there was a tryst in Parliament in which many participated by wearing khadi and hosting the flag. After India became free and its people became freely loving. This increased our population. Now the government has became a democracy, which means people are allowed to take the law in their own hands with the help of the police hence making people intolerant against any insults to their nation or national leaders.

GEC in Rains

My college (Goa Engineering College) is blessed with beautiful nature in its surroundings and it looks even more beautiful in rains. Here are some pictures clicked by me in the college during the rains times.



This is a Mini waterfall just outside the main gate. I don't know what its actually called in case you know the actually term for mini waterfall then please let me know :-)



This one is clicked on the Infinity Ground. I like the angle in which it is clicked giving the effect of a large water body. The GEC windmill can be seen in background.


This is the same tree clicked from a different angle.


This is from the main building terrace.


This one is one of my favourite clicked just outside the BE ETC classroom.




This is a beautiful rainbow seen across the GEC Sky. Its clicked just outside the library. I found this picture on Internet.

I hope you will admire the natural beauty of my college.

Yours,
Pranav
