Some of us are the idealistic ones who don’t outgrow our teenage emotions, to the extend that we vow to remain single till we find that someone special. This is further fuelled by the romantic imaginations, tales of undying love. Hence they sail through the riff & raff, the superfluous partners because they actually strike gold. Concept of soul mates starts when one is relatively young, & the hormones are activated, leading to romantic thoughts. But it dies down as one gets older, & the practicalities take over. The ones that don’t grow up, & are flexible with the relationships, are the ones that face maximum problems in their relationships. None is perfect & one has to accept that when it comes to choosing your partners.
There are about 29 hormones that determine a couple’s Compatibility Quotient, they are as Religious Values, Ambition & Energy Levels etc. You may have the best Sex of your life, & share a blazing chemistry with your partner, who may not necessarily make you happy, in other ways of life. But you have to prioritize in your life, what do you need a perfect mate at 99.99 % compatibility & desirability level else a partner that is easy to find with a compatibility of greater than 75 %.
Its time to make a change & a decision.

Rape Kills Body & Soul Both
I was going one Day
All alone my way.
With nobody around
To show me the way.
The way was bad,
& some fear I had.
Planting my Feet with Great Care,
I went on with great Fear.
Lights out of Sight,
Noting seeming to be Right.
With a Far Great Fight,
I kept Trudging, All Night.
Wait,,,,,,,Something there I saw,
Holy God, Was it someone’s Jaw.
My Heart Skipped a Beat,
& I prepared for the Retreat.
In my Mind I thought,
What If, It’s a Predator with his “Prey Caught”.
And there he was, with the Wink of an Eye,
Caught in the Deafening Silence, No Hello, No Hi.
A dark Image, Just moving towards me,
My Throat Strangulated, I couldn’t even Scream.
The Giant Robust Body advanced a Foot Near,
Staring me directly in my Eye.
Without moving a part, He said, “Fuck u Tonight”,
My legs Froze still, Worst was to be my Plight.
His Heavy Hands fell on my Shoulder,
I felt as if, I stuck a Boulder.
Those heavy Hands then Pulled me Close,
& out of my Mouth a Shout rose.
Something stuck me hard, on my Face,
& I kept on Wondering, “ What’s happening – (In amaze)”.
Terribly Man became a Horrifying Animal,
Humanism in him was Dismal.
He had lost all his Sense,
& there was nothing for my Defense.
In a fit of Rage & Thirst,
What he did was, “Worser than the Worst”.
By Raping me over & over again,
My Sanctity I Lost, that I never can regain.
My whole body withering with Pain,
I am losing my consciousness, I am going Insane.
When I woke up from the deep slumber,
The scene I saw was all Gory,
I was Drenched in Blood,
I cried for Man, I cried for Manhood.
.
I tried Getting up, but was Devastated,
I tried to Move, but was Bayoneted,
I tried to Organize, but was Shattered,
I tried to Breathe, but was Asphyxiated,
I tried to Speak, but was Strangulated,
I tried to Think, but was so Frightened,
I tried to Perceive, but my Mind was Blocked.
Things changed then on,
I kept on forlorn..
Exploited physically,
My Soul Tampered.
Feelings Lost.
Sentiments Crushed.
No motivation to live,
In the World So Harsh.
Rape killed my Body,
Rape killed my Soul.

Love Feeling Relation
It was a Bright June sunny day & the first Day of my college. Everything there was new, new Face’s, new Teacher’s, new Beginning’s & the spectacular new College Building. It was a refreshing break from the Monotonic School Life, No Uniform, No more Homework & some Freedom from the Parents too. In the Lunch Break I came out with a new Pal to look around the campus. There were some seniors surrounding the new students & many more moving here & there carefree. One Senior Student came to us & asked for our Intro, Told us to sing some Songs & Crack a Joke. Meanwhile Some more Students surrounded us & asked us to say some obscene things, But this Guy dared everyone to behave, & asked us to leave.
That night I kept on thinking only about this guy. Next day of the College was normal since Ragging was banned & the next whole month passed on like normal. My eyes would often search for that guy but I could see him only 2 - 3 times. It was the Exam Result’s day for the seniors & some Karun Verma had topped the University & the College, that too by a Margin of 10% than the 2nd Topper. The seniors came out in the Ground with that guy on their shoulders & someone shouted “Karun Break all the Records”. “Ooooh My God, that Guy is the Topper” I said to myself. Now I could get what was so Unforgettable about him, His Charismatic face, the Shine in his Eyes & the smile he always used to carry on his Lips, as someone carries his Wallet in his Pocket.
I was so excited about him & that Day not one moment went, without his thought. I felt myself being pulled towards him Like a Magnet. I began making friends with the seniors in his class, Karun was a gem of a guy, all the girls in the college loved him deep inside their hearts. He was Handsome, Dressed Decently & Talked very softly. He used to spend most of his time in the Library & remained till late in his lab’s doing Experiments keenly. Soon I decided, I had to talk to him & make Friends with him. So one day I waited for him in the Lab Corridor, he came from the Lab very late but didn’t see me. I interrupted him from the back “Hi Karun”. He turned back & Hailing a Smile said “Hi, How are you doing?”. I said “I am fine. (After a Pause I said) Karun you owe me something”. He asked “What?”. I said “ Karun that day the Ragging was very painful & you owe me a nice treatment now, so join me for a Coffee”.
He thought for a moment & without being apprehensive said, “Fine Let’s go”.
He went on to get his Bike But I insisted that we walk. He discussed everything, His Background, His Likes Dislikes, & the Studies in the college etc, looking straight in my eyes, & there I was just Staring at him & Adoring his Persona from Inside. We sat there talking for a pretty long time & then he told me that it was his Exam Tomorrow & that he spared this time because he didn’t want to hurt her Feelings again. I insisted that if he would have told me, we could have gone some other Day. I called him up in the evening & asked about his Preparations & he was a lot Confused & Bit tired too, so I consoled him to keep his Cool & do as much as he can. Luckily he fared well in the Exams & Thanked me for comforting him during Preparations.
From that day on we would talk for a long time, Discuss, Crack Jokes & finally leave. But I was falling badly in Love with him, I would Wake Up thinking about him, Sleep Thinking about him, Dress the way he would Like. The twinkle in my eyes, and the smile on my lips never Dried as long as I thought about him. It was the Friendship day in the college, I wanted to say a Lot but couldn’t dare say it all. After the College was over he called me & asked me to meet at the cafeteria & gave me a Rose, with a note saying “I never intend to hurt anybody, but if in any way I hurt you, I am really very sorry”. I was overwhelmed & couldn’t resist the feelings inside anymore, Tears rolled down my cheeks, I stood up & hugged him hard so as to never let him go. He comforted me & in a Whisper I said “Karun I love you”. He was Startled at first, & he backed off, saying “I think you are not mature enough to restrain yourself from falling off into such a Stupid thing, I have no time for it. My career is my First Priority & nothing can come in between, Not even you”. I was shackled & in pure shambles. My whole world came to a Standstill, & I felt as if the Land had swayed off from, below my feet. But I took my time to reset myself & move on with my Life. But in some Space of my Heart I had this feel that there is something still left out.
I rarely saw him 15-20 times till December. January screwed us in the Exams & College Reopened. On Valentine’s Day I got a message from someone, to meet in the Lab Corridor at 6:45, I tried to ignore but something inside, made me go there. I was waiting in the Lab Corridor & someone from my back said “Hi”. I turned back to see Karun Standing there, with his usual Charisma & Fervor, but he was carrying this unusual smile on his face. I said “Hi Karun How are you doing”. He reiterated “I am not fine, I hurt you again that day in the café & since then I have not been able to forgive myself. I thought of you & now, I not only respect you but I also Love you Priya”, handing over a Rose & Chocolates to me. He opened his arms inviting me to sink in them & I fell deep into them with tears in my eyes. That day we talked & talked. I was the happiest person on earth, having found all that I desired. Just being with him gave me this sense of security that nothing would ever go wrong.
It kept going on like this for a long time thereon, everyone knew of our Love, some Girls were even jealous of me. Karun was aggressively Ambitious & belonged to a very Rich family too. He finished College & Joined a Very Big MNC as a Researcher & did his Masters along with. He grew fast in the Co. & rose to the post of Company Group Leader, but his Job was very Monotonic, Managing all the things for his Group, while he wanted to do some Hands on work. Even I finished College in between & joined a Small co. in Research.
One day out of the Blue, he Popped up the big question, "Girl, will you marry me?". Marry You!!!! Gosh, I've been waiting for it for so long now, & this man here is asking me “will you marry Me”. It was the second happiest day of my life, My Joy knew no bounds. Initially Karun’s Parents were opposed to the Match since Karun Belonged to a very Rich Family, But Finally they agreed after meeting me. The marriage was fixed for 5.April.
Karun being dissatisfied with his Job began searching for some way-out for his Potential to be Exploited & sooner a Job offer from America along with a Green card Visa Came in handy, this was Core Research Work. That’s what Karun had always wanted to do. He had to leave on 1.August & it was Impossible for him to Delay it no matter what may come. He asked me to get married to him in a Small Temple & Move permanently to America. But maybe he was being Selfish & Blind Folded by this Tempting Job Offer. His parents Tried convincing him to Stay back & Look after the Family Business, But He would listen to nobody. I was the only daughter of my Parents & was closely attached to them, so they wanted me to stay in the same town after getting married. I asked Karun to reconsider his decision, but he was Very Apprehensive to answer me back & left out in a great Hurry. It was known to me that, Career was his first Priority. He decided to leave. Without giving a Thought to my Love, my feelings & our Relation & leaving behind everything that he had gathered in the past 25 Years. My whole world crashed in front of my eyes & I could do nothing, but Stand Helpless.
So he left & once again he bruised my heart, but I without saying a word, smothered in this pain & choked myself when I would get the Fits of Crying. Sometimes a Tear would Roll Down my Cheek, or the Moments we spent together would come in Front of me, freezing me, Incapacitating & Parallalizing me. Something inside me was very hollow & was biting me. But Life went on. There was none with whom I could share this Pain. I loved him and if he had loved me he would have compromised, but he didn’t. I thought from Inside maybe my Love was not that Strong so as to make him stay back. But Slowly & Steadily I learned to live up with the whole Situation & came to terms with my Life.
It was Thursday, September11, I came back from my office pretty early & switched on the TV, & to my shock what I saw was that the Twin Trade Centers had been attacked. I stopped for a moment & recollected - Karun’s Office too was in the Trade Centers. I called up His Parents, they were in the middle of some party & totally ignorant about it. I told them every thing, they Confirmed that Karun’s office was in the Trade Center. I asked them to confirm about Karun’s well being. It was too noisy in the party & the noises on the phone made me go crazy. In a Fraction of a Seconds, all the Good Times we spent Together, Flashed in front of my Eyes, I was in Deep Pain, & Tears Rolled down my Cheek. After 10 minutes I called his Parent’s again, & they told me that his Mobile was Unreachable. Next day his parent’s received a call from the Indian Embassy in America that Karun was in the Trade Center when the Accident took place, & that Karun had stayed in his Office for the past 3 days doing his work that was always his First Priority.
I always wish that he was here for Me to See, Love, Adore, Talk, Share my Ups & Downs. After all life is not all about ambitions, making it Big & Prioritizing your work more than Your Love, Your Family & Your Friends.

My Life in Korea - A Preview
Hi everyone. Drafted this Blog Account for Storing & showing my Kind of stuff, this I wanted to do for a long time now. I am here in Korea.South Working as a R&D Engineer looking after the aspects of Hardware Integration & Software Development for an LCD TV in LG Electronics. Life in here is good, awesome, We here (8 Guys) have a ball every weekend having all the masti, all the fun, doing loads of shopping (Even though it is very Expensive here), Working it out on the Chicks. Sure every guy here has some Chick reserved for himself "Yeh Meri waali hai, Yeh teri waali hain" As if "Ghar ki Kheti hain". The gals here are very Fair Skinned & totally Chikni Bole to Baap. Parr "Santaap" (Lochha/Problem) Yeh hai ki unko English bahut Kamm aati hain. Not to conceal, a gal Propsed me, But I don't want to fall in any Commited relationship here, "Wham Bham Good Bye Maam" so for now I haven't commited anything to her. She is quite innocent, not one like those "Chaalu" Girls, Good Natured & Warm Hearted. So I have to give it a good Brain Churning Thought, before I go on further, with anything. We chaps often go to the Pubs on weekends or some other Breakaway Place to have usual masti, One guy Puneet after getting drunk approaches the Girls in the Pub & he is Fultoo Mast like a Mast Haathi(Elephant), the Girls Behave nicely so does he, but if he asks the girl out on a Date & the Girl refuses all he thunders is: 'Fuck You'... But he says so with a Smiling Face, & with no Gumption, so the Girl also Laughs it away.
Motivation - Blogging
Hi everyone already having entered in here, you are cordially invited to go through my Blogs & if need be so pls post your Comments here or post them to my Mail : amit_shali@yahoo.com. Hope you don't get bored by my stuff & enjoy your ride through my Blogs posted here. Have Fun Masti & Loads of Hassi & Khusshi (Hey by the way hu is this Hassi & Khushi, are they Pretty & Good). Cya

Ram Setu – Faith, Trust & Belief
I sometimes am forced to believe that I am living in a nation where being majority is a crime, & more than that being a Hindu is a crime. Does the government dare to raze a mosque or some ancient Moslem monument to ground. NO they can't do that, as that will give rise to a hue & cry by the minority Moslems. Why is that, the Hindus are made the Scapegoats all the time, so as to be butchered? Its because the Hindu Vote Bank does not count for the government, just because the Hindus are not unified. But does it give the government any liberty to play with the sentiments of all Hindus?
It is ironical that a government which changes the metro rail route to protect the Qutub Minar, built with the construction material of destroyed temples, is destroying a unique symbol of national identity that has been there for the past 17,25,000 years, and an icon well preserved in our minds. Even a child knows that a bridge was built by the Lord Rama & his army to march into Lanka to rescue Sita and destroy the evil regime of Ravana. Ram Setu is a symbol of faith for the Hindus & holds both religious & mythological importance for Hindus. It is the path of virtuousness, & truth that God tread to win over the evil. How can anyone let the monument of such stature be damaged. The description of the bridge between India & Ceylon can be found in a lot of ancient Texts like Ramayna by Kalidasa, which puts it forth the same way as is shown by the NASA Satellites. Also its presence is reminiscent in one of the World's greatest epic Mahabharta. Apart from this it has mentions in numerous other religious & historical texts.
Strategic Importance of the bridge (Setu in Hindi) is that the US wanted the Indian Government to declare the Historical Sea Waters around the Setu as the International Sea Waters, so that commercial liners can traverse through this International Seawater. The Setu is like a divide that, that separates the sea into two parts hence, it decelerates the wrath & the force of the Tsunamis that arise in the Indian Ocean. Any alterations to the Setu, will not only disturb the ecological imbalance in the region but will also affect the fish catch of the Coastal fishermen. Also the Coral Reefs in the area will be disturbed, hence leading to their gradual extinction from the region.
The idea behind the Setu Samudram Project (The Bridge of the Sea) is to link Palk Gulf and Gulf of Mennar by making a shipping canal through Rameshwaram Island. But the Government could have averted the damage to the Bridge by taking an alternate route without damaging the Ram Setu. The route is between Mandapam and Dhanushkoti. This will not only give a shorter route for navigation but also protect the oldest heritage. The cost of fuel that will be saved in one year by making a gap in the Setu will be 21 crores per annum. But the cost of the project is a whopping 2400 crores. As per the calculation the project isn't feasible cost wise, as it will take 115 years to reap the benefits of making the cut in the bridge. 21 crores x 115 years = 240 Crores, the actual price of damaging the 17,25,000 years old man made structure. Being destroyed just for the sake of some coins.
The Solution to the problem clearly lies in the alternate route between Mandapam and Dhanushkoti, for the navy & commercial ships to commute through the channel, without any alteration of any kind to the Setu. There has been no transparency on the way the Indian Government has dealt with the Project till now, keeping everything under wraps, & when the lid was blown off, all of a sudden, it was supposed to create a hue & cry, just the way it has. Now to keep the Good will live amongst the people of India, the Government of India, should ensure that no damage is caused to the faith & religious sentiments of its people by taking the alternate route. The Current expenses to the tune of 2400 crores, can be bought down considerably by assigning alternate path, & can be used for other important issues that are haunting India as of now, poverty, hunger, illiteracy, epidemics, & many other such daunting issues. The Drilling on the project started 28.July, & till date 11.Sept, 25% of damage has been done to the current pass route. The Drill machine that is being used in the project is named as "Jai Hanuman", a Machine named after the biggest follower & devotee of Lord Rama. How ironical!! This again is a gimmick to ridicule the Hindus.
Two such drills have broken down while doing the drilling operation, & that is a sure sign from God, to stop this frenzy & madness.
Ram Setu is a monument of faith, trust & belief. Shaking or breaking the monument will be like shattering the faith of the Hindus, & faith once shattered or battered cannot be bought back.
Videos of the Setu's existence can be seen here :

Also its presence is reminiscent in one of the World's greatest epic Mahabharta. Apart from this it has mentions in numerous other religious & historical texts.
Strategic Importance of the bridge (Setu in Hindi) is that the US wanted the Indian Government to declare the Historical Sea Waters around the Setu as the International Sea Waters, so that commercial liners can traverse through this International Seawater. The Setu is like a divide that, that separates the sea into two parts hence, it decelerates the wrath & the force of the Tsunamis that arise in the Indian Ocean. Any alterations to the Setu, will not only disturb the ecological imbalance in the region but will also affect the fish catch of the Coastal fishermen. Also the Coral Reefs in the area will be disturbed, hence leading to their gradual extinction from the region.
The idea behind the Setu Samudram Project (The Bridge of the Sea) is to link Palk Gulf and Gulf of Mennar by making a shipping canal through Rameshwaram Island. But the Government could have averted the damage to the Bridge by taking an alternate route without damaging the Ram Setu. The route is between Mandapam and Dhanushkoti. This will not only give a shorter route for navigation but also protect the oldest heritage. The cost of fuel that will be saved in one year by making a gap in the Setu will be 21 crores per annum. But the cost of the project is a whopping 2400 crores. As per the calculation the project isn't feasible cost wise, as it will take 115 years to reap the benefits of making the cut in the bridge. 21 crores x 115 years = 240 Crores, the actual price of damaging the 17,25,000 years old man made structure. Being destroyed just for the sake of some coins.
The Solution to the problem clearly lies in the alternate route between Mandapam and Dhanushkoti, for the navy & commercial ships to commute through the channel, without any alteration of any kind to the Setu. There has been no transparency on the way the Indian Government has dealt with the Project till now, keeping everything under wraps, & when the lid was blown off, all of a sudden, it was supposed to create a hue & cry, just the way it has. Now to keep the Good will live amongst the people of India, the Government of India, should ensure that no damage is caused to the faith & religious sentiments of its people by taking the alternate route. The Current expenses to the tune of 2400 crores, can be bought down considerably by assigning alternate path, & can be used for other important issues that are haunting India as of now, poverty, hunger, illiteracy, epidemics, & many other such daunting issues. The Drilling on the project started 28.July, & till date 11.Sept, 25% of damage has been done to the current pass route. The Drill machine that is being used in the project is named as "Jai Hanuman", a Machine named after the biggest follower & devotee of Lord Rama. How ironical!! This again is a gimmick to ridicule the Hindus.
Two such drills have broken down while doing the drilling operation, & that is a sure sign from God, to stop this frenzy & madness.
Ram Setu is a monument of faith, trust & belief. Shaking or breaking the monument will be like shattering the faith of the Hindus, & faith once shattered or battered cannot be bought back.
Videos of the Setu's existence can be seen here :

Work Satisfaction
The major motive for completing education is to be self dependent, & sufficient in atleast the basic necessities of life. If you are amongst the lucky ones you tend to get these amenities of life, & get to enjoy the life to the fullest, that others less priveledged are deprived of. The aim eventually is to work, that will not only fetch you respect but also lots of booty. It is this urge & the necessity that makes us slog our lives, while in school, university & at the job. So that we can face the bleeding competition, that by all means is healthy, & ensures that the best get the best. But does that necessarily mean that life gives us back what we expect out of it. In most of the cases there will be a point blank "NO", as life with its atrocities does not give us what all we want, it takes us for a ride a number of times.We don't get what we deserve or desire most of the times, that is a fact. We are helpless too, all we can do is work towards our goals, & then it depends on the destiny & the so called luck whether we get there or not. This fire of achieving materialism or some other goals drives us towards the cutting limits of physical & mental endurance. This materialsim may not lead us anywhere, but then we can spend our lives with a lifestyle, that only most people can dream of. Only the lucky ones get to blabber about their lifestyle & materialism.But where is the so called work satisfaction, that one gets by doing, what one wants to do, or the way one wants to do something. India being a developing country has fewer chances of people working in the arena that they really wanted to work in. These people create more meaning out of their work, than the ones who unfortunately couldn't even get hands on the thing that they would have liked to be a source of their bread, butter, booze & cheese. These people come from one domain to work in another cross functional domain. A classical example of this is the people from Mechanical Engineering background joining Software Companies. The point here is that the person with a Bachelor's in Software Engineering is bound to be more successful than the one with a Mechanical Engineering Degree.The question now arises is, will the Mechanical guy working in a Cross functional software domain find peace, solace & satisfaction in what he is doing as a software engineer. He always wanted to be a part of the Mechanical world, where he could work on an engine to increase its fuel efficiency from 40% to 80%, or reduce the fiction in its mechanical parts. But here he is sitting back in his chair, & resolving the bugs in the software. He may have a thick pay packet in the software industry, that may sometime's require a truck to carry it home, but then does he have that thick sense of pride & honor in what he is doing. He always wanted to soil & toil it hard, have his hands smeared with grease & oil, oil blots on his shirt. But there he is, sitting quitely in the corner of his aircondiotioned, noise proof cabin, wearing a white shirt, & his hands on the keyboard typing the code, @ 1000 lines per day. His life has lost its meaning, its direction just for some bucks. He has made ultimate sacrifice of his solace, peace & tranquility that he woud have found in doing what he was destined to do. Sacrificing the so called work satisfaction may make some sense, when the buck is concerned. But this buck comes at a price. Price is sacrificing the work satisfaction & the internal contenment. But in the long run of this rat race for money, you may turn out to be a winner, but a loser in majority of the cases.

Armageddon / DoomsDay
Armageddon / DoomsDay
It is the year 2198...and for a while, the world was at peace. The Things are going on smoothly except for the thing that the now developed Countries (Contributing to 200 out of 210) are eyeing each other, undercover. There is a State of Cold war, wherein every country for the time being is tight Lipped, and not adding Oil to the Fire. The natural Resources are driven towards extinction, The Land is scarce to grow anything cause the Population has almost Quadrupled in the last 200 Years, the Islands have been washed out cause of the raising of the Sea Level due to the Green House Effect. The Inflation has reached a record high. Every country has a stockpile of Deadly Arms, some of which are more than enough to wipe off all Life from the Earth in a Fraction of Seconds. All nations have joined hands to one of the Three Different Group of Countries, called as the First World Countries, Second World Countries & Third World Countries. These Group of Countries have shook hands as per their Interests & unison in their ideologies. This has divided One World into three spheres. The problems at hand are driving the countries to anguish & frustration, each country wants to control & exploit the resources of its neighboring Country or some other Country. The earth is like a huge stack of dry Straw & grass that is waiting for a spark to ignite it & engulf whole of this earth like a unimaginable, unforeseen Forest Fire, that will spare none, leaving behind only Death & Smoke. Rumors are abuzz that the so & so Country is planning a serious deadly offensive, & this is on the front page of every paper, on everyone’s mind, & on everyone’s Tongue. Each Country Fears that any Country may launch the Offensive against it any time for any reason. Everyone is living in fear, & this sheer fear is driving everyone crazy. The countries are not ready to talk, cause there is nothing to talk over, only war & then winning is being seen as a solution to all the Problems haunting that nation for a long time now. Its like a dam that has been filled with so much of water that will eventually break loose & wreak havoc & destroy everything.
In the morning of 5th.Oct.2198, came the D day when it is discovered that the First World Countries are planning a massive offensive against the Third World Countries as a Result of the Assassination of President of 2 First World Countries in the past, along with the Rocket Attack on some Cities killing thousands in the Third World Countries. Missile attacked being launched by the Second World Countries. These Attacks & killing were in reprisal of the mismatched ideologies of the countries over common Issues. The Countries had prepared for the wrath & the Countries that weren’t prepared for this Armageddon were preparing fast for the catastrophic developments or else would have to perish & be removed from the face of the Earth in a flash of Light. This was a war that would incorporate Accuracy, Speed, Deception, Tactics & above all Power (the Power to bless even the immortal with Death). Soon the Skies were filled with the Fighter Planes, that made no noise at all, there were armed Robots on the Streets, the Humans were equipped with suits that would warn them & protect them from any possible dangers or any threat of attacks. The Army was positioned everywhere & the Weaponry was being airlifted into the Space, so that the Missiles could be launched from Space (Star Wars II). This War was not only to be fought on face of the earth, but also in the Extra Terrestrial Space, wherein Man had Built Artificial Colonies, wherein people would go for Holidays & experiencing the unknown phenomenon of the Space. The war toll after 15 Days : 1.5 Billion Dead, Losses worth Trillion Zillion Rupees, 8 Countries wiped off completely, Poisonous Gases & Biological Chemicals in the Air causing Deaths @ 1800 deaths per Minute, Nuclear Radiations causing Cancer Developments Fast. There are no Doctors or Hospitals available, everyone is on his own. But the war still wages on for 30 Days with the Second World Countries finally Winning over with the launch of their final resort, H Bomb, that left it with a population of 2200 men standing tall on the corpses, to rule the World that had nothing but Death, & no leftover Resources, Everything was destroyed. There was smoke everywhere, no vegetation, nothing, deep craters were left in the earth’s surface. The Oceans had started to heat to the extend that they made steam. Those who were left, also vanished within the next 6 months. Perhaps that was the end of the Days, or was it a new beginning. The Armageddon.

Life in Bangalore, Do's & Dont's
Its been a month for me here in Bangalore. The information that I provide here may be of some use to those of you who want to shift to Bangalore.
1. Different Restros are here, offering variety of food, at cheap rates too, it is hygienic, never had a problem with that.
2. Fav places to hangout are MG Road, Lal Baug, Mysore (40 Kms away), Koorg, & other picnic spots within 200kms radius.
3. Rooms are pretty expensive & landlords demand 10 times the Rent as refundable deposit. PG Accomodation is readily available for somwhere between 1500-3500Rs.
4. The Buses cover almost whole of the city. Roads are bad & so is the traffic, so start off from your destination 30 mins in advance.
5. Every Street has a marvellous building, unknowingly if u ask someone, u will get just one reply, "its a software company".
6. Software rookies & Young crowd can be seen all over Bangalore, with their respected & respective access cards hung around their necks like, the Dog's Chain (More appropriately I term it as the Kutte Ka Patta).
7. Most of people can speak Hindi, & the educated clan can speak English as well, so don't hesitate to ask for any help, if the need be.
8. Tap water is not consumable, esp for those of you, who come new to the city.
9. The climate is moderate, but the temperature here has been soaring since the past 3-4 years, credit goes to the high levels of vehicular pollution. Bangalore is 1000mts above sea level, so the climate is really enjoyable.
10. Autorikshaws may be expensive depending on the distance you travel, however insist on going only by meter, many of the meters are rigged.
U can get in touch with me at amit_shali@yahoo.com if the need be.
