Incredible Jumeirah

There are no limits to human imagination and when these imaginations start to take definite and real shape then comes a real revolution marking a change in history of things developed so far by human beings. Palm Jumeirah in Dubai is a perfect example of architecture at its best and shows there is nothing that can ever put a stop to creativity and ingenuity in the world. I was speechless,astounded and stunned to see beauty and creativity at its ever best.
The thought of an artificial island in itself is out of this world but when this "out of this world thought" goes to be real then you are taken aback by power of human mind and its incredible creativity.
The Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island created using land reclamation by Nakheel, a company owned by the Dubai government. It is one of three islands called The Palm Islands which extend into the Persian Gulf, increasing Dubai’s shoreline by a total of 520 km. The Palm Jumeirah is the smallest and the original of three Palm Islands (Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira) under development by Nakheel. It is located on the Jumeirah coastal area of the emirate of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The Jumeirah Palm island is primarily a retreat and residential area for living, relaxation, and leisure. It will contain themed boutique hotels, three types of villas (Signature Villas, Garden Homes, and Canal Cove Town Homes), shoreline apartment buildings, beaches, marinas, restaurants, cafes and a variety of retail outlets.The Jumeirah Palm island is primarily a retreat and residential area for living, relaxation, and leisure.

This is more or less like a dream come true for every individual who wishes to spend his/her life peacefully across the sea shore of one of world's richest city.
I wish i could own one of those magnificent,outstanding,marvelous and stunning bungalows and spend a life full of romance and love with the one I love.

Golden...words.

It hardly matters when you start...All that matters is when you end.

By: Me of course..!!

Last-minute

Many of my friends and relatives have condemned me of my attitude for being excessively inconsiderate towards my work(which I obviously do not like) and leaving it to be done in last few minutes. Be it my exams or anything important...I've sort of developed it as habit of doing things in last few days or minutes but It's done before it meets its doom.
Here's an answer to you all which I got to know through a book: People like me(though there are hardly any....) who do wake up late to their work but still do it completely till it's all over ,have an unrivaled mastery of managing their time. None can manage things as impeccably as we do in those last few minutes. This is an indication of the fact that people who have the inherent talent of managing their time are best suited for management and It is they who have the power to make it big 'coz None understands the importance of those last few minutes as we do.
So It hardly matters when you start...all that matters is when you end.

Change is All we need..!!

I don't have much to say on this as there has been lot said and done. November 2008..Attack on Mumbai...has shaken me and the whole world. I PAY MY KIND TRIBUTE & HOMAGE TO ALL CIVILIANS, POLICE, ATF & NSG HEROS WHO SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES DURING TERRORIST ATTACK ON HOTEL TAJ, OBEROI TRIDENT & NARIMAN HOUSE IN MUMBAI.
I can't say much on how we are gonna fight it off or put an end to all this...but yes..This is the time we need "Change". We need to change the whole political scenario currently existing in our country,we need to change the mindset of today's youth who do not see much future prospects in politics and urge them to step in. We need to change the whole working system that rule over us. We have been constantly changing ourselves and would continue to do so forever but now we need to change everything that is all around us and most importantly that affects us.
Change is the only way we can put an end to all such things.
Change yourself to a better you and change the system around you to a better world.

Conversation...with a "maniac"

It's late at night...1 o'clock or thereabouts. I was all engrossed watching "saw" on my PC and my friend who is a complete maniac and a severe pain in arse was wandering around me looking all grave and solemn. I just couldn't take much of his fretting,logged off my PC and thought of going for a conversation with this complete madman.
Here's a glimpse of the things we discussed....

me: What happened what are you so worried bout dude..!!
him: beep beep beep....nothing.

I wondered.. If there is zilch why the fuck didn't he let me get on with my movie?? why the fuck did he have to just hang around me giving me this "I wanna talk bout something" look.

me: as you wish dude..!!
him: no..I really have something to talk bout. I have few things on my mind that I wanted to discuss with someone.I hope you would be a bit considerate,listen to me...and not give me that derisive look of yours. And for god's sake no use of sarcasm.

Quite a good fielding indeed..!!

me: okay..buddy go ahead...!!
him: know what...I have sort of a crush on a gal.(And then comes a pause of a lifetime...)
me: Blimey...what on earth is wrong with you..it shows you are all normal.
him: No..nothin is all normal. It's about the gal I came across yesterday in college.
me: so...what's wrong with her?
him:No...there is nothing wrong with her...It's rather with me. I sort of like her but have not been able to work up enough courage to reveal it to her. Tell me how should I do it? You have been quite an expert at such stuffs.
me:Expert?? anyway..!!
Come on..!! Be a man ..!!
him: Why??
me: uff...I mean it's simple...go and propose her. If it's a yes...good for you..and if no...good for the gal. Anyhow...It would be good either for you or for her.
him: beep beep beep...Don't you say that. I guess you are right ..I would all do it tomorrow.
God knows what got into him ,he sort of got all excited and got to his bed and I wonder if I had really done something magical or what or my words were so efficacious that they acted the moment they were out.
Anyway...I switched back to my movie and said nothing much as per the conditions laid down in the beginning and thought what a prat he is..!!
Next day ,late in the night..this very friend of mine was all sort of smiling,grinning...and was busy with his cellphone...and It didn't take me much to fathom out...he's off again.
God save the gal.

Q & A by Vikas Swarup

Speechless,spellbound and totally entranced...is what you experience once you cross your path with an impeccable debut of that of an author like Vikas Swarup for his classic work "Question and Answer". Yeah..! I m in all praise for Vikas's book "Q And A".
It was indeed a pleasure to go through this very exciting, page-turning romp which will oblige you to think and question ... and a book which is already being filmed.

First let me discuss the plot. An ill-educated, 18 year old orphan, working as a waiter in Jimmy's Bar in Mumbai, appears on the latest show in town called W3B - "Who Will Win A Billion" and correctly answers all 12 questions to win the jackpot of one billion rupees. The unscrupulous producers of the show are stunned. How can an illierate waiter, who has never been to a school or has never read a newspaper in his life,answer all these tough questions. So they promptly bribe the police and ask them to frame Ram Mohammad Thomas for cheating. A young lawyer called Smita Shah suddenly appears in the police station where Thomas is being tortured, reads out the law to the Inspector and takes him away to her house. Then, over the course of that night - the longest night of Thomas's life - she gets him to recount the story of his life and how it enabled him to answer the 12 questions on the quiz show, question by question. So, as can guess, the novel has exactly 12 chapters. Every single course of the Ram's life leaves an indelible mark onto your mind and you finally end up in all applause for the author.

Vikas Swarup writes a well-paced novel. Although the action moves back and forth through our anti-hero's young life, the pace of the novel is such that the various strands remain imprinted on your mind. Indeed, the author twists and manipulates your reading, holding back little surprises for you.

This is an exceptional read. It's, and I do not exxagerate, one of the finest debut novels I have ever read. It is the finest novel from an Indian Author I have ever read, because it doesn't pretend to be anything, it doesn't try to be poetic, or flowery. I usually prefer a book by an Indian author to be able to relate my self with the plot.
I finished the book, and aside from an appreciative content smile on my face, only one thing came to mind, "Damn, I wish I could meet in person with this guy". The ending has the kind of twist you expect at the end of a great story and I couldn't help but appreciate the thought and sentiment that goes into coming up with something like that.
What is it?
Read it and find out.
Oh, I'll leave you with the last line though.
"Because luck comes from within."
