iRock

The iPod is an true example of Evolution, it plays songs;Stores photos;Then the crazyy podcasts; plays video -- Madness.

One of my friend "Sharad", bought an Ipod Video 30GB few days back and it simply rocks. The iPod Video comes in two basic models 30Gb and 60Gb . When you actually hold that preciously chromed ipod in your hand, you feel like there is nothing else you got to do other than listen to music and watch endless movies.I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the first video in it ,Guess what- it was better than my own monitor's display. I was given the glorious chance to upload some Videos onto the ipod because my friend was having some problems doing so. Initially i had to drag and drop the vids into itunes and wait for a whole light year for it to get done. So i searched the good Ol' Google and found some converters which were made for easing the ipod users pain.iPod only plays .mp4 extensions so i got was an WinAvi converter which converts files for ipod,mobiles and PsP's.

So all those ipod vid users should get the following softwares
(1).WinAvi MP4 Converter

(2).WinAvi Video Converter

The Power Of Adamatium

I always wated to have those adamantium claws that Wolverine has.Wolverine is one of the members of the X-Men another of my best comic books ever.When ever i read those x-men comics i really get inspired by the action and power , and somethimes also have dreams of being a Mutant myself with some really extraordinary powers that could not be dominated by any other mutant int he X-men world.
But other than being a unique Mutant in myself , i always wanted to be Logan, that is , Wolverine and when ever i had to buy one from the stores , i would always look for the one with wolverine in it.He has some really breath taking history for himself.

Wolverine has a healing factor that can heal virtually any wound or disease, and also slows his aging. He also has retractable bone claws that extrude from his forearms. His bones and claws are bonded with adamantium, rendering them unbreakable. However, during a fateful battle on Avalon, Magneto pulled all of the adamantium out of Logan's body, leaving Wolverine in massive trauma. The adamantium has since been returned to Logan's body. Finally, Wolverine has enhanced senses or sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch. He can file scents in his memory and use them to track other beings from even the slightest traces, and can see and hear things much fainter and from much farther away than normal people.

But i was disappointed when the X-Men movies was launched , because the way it was made , was not at all the X - Way .Similarly the Second sequal was not to the ranking of the actual X-world , but still the nightCrawler was awesomely shown in the second movie.And now i am waiting for the third one to come which is expected around Aug this year.

Junk Food?

I call it Heaven.When The McDonalds opened up in my town , it was like place where i could go and worship the Belly God.It is not only the McD's , but the various types of sandwitches that you can make at your homes fantacises me.

My favorite sadwitch is the southwester sandwitch because firstly it is very easy to make and secondly after having one of those i can stay alive for at least 2 or 3 years , hehehe. And now the McD's are opening up very close to where i live , so it's the best thing that could happen around here.



Here is the link for a book called " Delicious Sandwitch Recipies - 379 of the worlds Greatest sandwitch recipies " .Have Fun!

Peer2Peer

It really is true that you "Change" when you get into college, when I first got in I was in a dilemma to choose - CHOOSE. Yes , it is all in choosing your friends and peer group. you will almost find every kind of species in you class room , some who are seriously serious about their careers, always burying there heads into the books and spending more than 24 hrs in the library and some who have their father's estate business waiting for them, where they just have to sit on the CEo's chair and rule ,so they don't have the problem of getting early in the morning and studying and aceing the class; They just attend the classes for fun and disturb the class 'while the teacher is teaching’.Anyway that is for sure that you will almost find every kind of intergalactic species in the class.

Now the Bad Boys , who dress like they are some member of an underworld gang , now start to look inspiring to you , you want to become like them ,you almost start to talk like them and you want those skull tatoos and leather jackets and those rockstar belts.your mind starts to play tricks with you , earlier that same guy was a total looser but now he is like the best idol you got there .you also start your gym classes so that you have those muscely body and you are surrounded with girls all around. i know that it's kind a crap that i said out there , but that what had happened to me in my early college days.But now it's all fine now , i am that same normal and simple guy now.

But it seems that even if you are not in the wrong friend circle , you turn into some other unknown being in yourself.;Because except for your studies , you want to do every other thing that comes your way, for me I never used to be a book worm anyway.I have totally turned into automatic machine that goes into sleep mode when ever I think of studying.I know that I have been obsessed with studying over here , but that is what is in my mind right now. There is nothing without knowledge in this information age.

I was extremly lucky to have made some very awesome friends , who have always guided me throught the right direction.They are Studious as wall as fun lovers. it was Ankit Jain who was the first in the list , then it was Ankit Moonat,Ankit Fatehpuria,Amit,Rohit.there are more , but these were the once who started it all.Mr.Jain is kind a Philosopher kind of a guy who is extemely serious about his studies but does not show that in his behaviour,he is the inspiring element for all of us.Talking of inspiration,Ankit Moonat ,Ankit Fatehpuria,Amit and Rohit are really inspiring if you are looking for Extreme Fun.They would almost do anything ,anywhere at any point of time, that is called as some serious fun.

So all want to say is that you should carefully choose your peer group before making it,it really moulds you or you can say that it almost changes your Character and Personality.

Calvin and Hobbes

Calvin and Hobbes has been my all time favorite comic. it is all about a kid who is awesomely imaginative and has a tiger toy , but think of him to be a live one.
Firstly, who is Bill Watterson -
Born: William B. Watterson II was born July 5, 1958, in Washington, D.C.
Education: BW graduated from Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, in 1980 with a degree in political science.
Family: married to Melissa, Lives with Melissa in Hudson, Ohio with all their cast.
Prizes:Watterson was nominated for the 1992 Reuben Award for
"Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year" by the National Cartoonists Society, and won the 1986 and 1988 Reuben Awards. In 1986,
he was the youngest recipient to ever win the award.

Now let me give you a brief description of the cast :

Calvin

Calvin is named for a sixteenth-century theologian who believed in predestination. Most people assume that Calvin is based based on detailed memories of Bill Watterson.

Calvin is autobigraphical in the sense that he thinks about the same issues that Watterson does,

Hobbes

Named after a seventeenth-century philosopher with a dim view of human nature, Hobbes has the patient dignity and common sense of most animals.

Calvin's parents

Calvin's parents are not given any names, because as far as the strip is concerned, they are important only as Calvin's mom and dad.

Calvin's mom is the daily disciplinarian.

Susie Derkins

Susie is earnest, serious, and smart--the kind of girl. The early strips with Susie were heavy-handed with the love-hate conflict.

Spaceman Spiff

Spaceman Spiff predates Calvin and Hobbes by over a decade.

Spiff was a diminutive loudmouth, not like Calvin, albeit with a Chaplin mustache, flying goggles, and a cigar. He had a dimwitted assistant named Fargle, and they roamed through space in a dirigible.

Calvin's Wagon

Calvin's wagon is a simple device to add some physical comedy to the strip, and I most often use it when Calvin gets longwinded or philosophical. I think the action lends a silly counterpoint to the text, and it's a lot mort interesting to draw than talking heads. Sometimes the wagon ride even acts as a visual metaphor for Calvin's topic of discussion.

Calvin rides the wagon through the woods, bouncing off rocks and flying over ravines.
