KING SIZE-II

" Amazing.... Never thought It would be so good.... Trust me...Its not any other Marvel-Comic-ish movie like spiderman and others....Its so realistic that I wouldnt mind watching it for another 10 times over and over...Wanna come??? " a friend of mine couldnt resist calling me up and give an instant review about the movie the moment he stepped out of the theatre.. A smile and a nodd...This was all I could give at the other end of the phone...

Having watched the trailor of the movie KING KONG on the TV..I kind of couldnt agree with the word 'Realistic' he gave... It just reminded me of any other hollywood movie which enlarges the size of a real creature and feature it in the movie..

The first one of that kind I saw was ANACONDA... Though the size of the anaconda was normal..but because I was a small girl..I saw it as an enlarged snake.. The movie was about a group of people who go to a forest hunting for an anaconda..Least did they know that they were the ones being hunted...Though the movie was not scary or anything.. the scene where the snake swallows a man completly and then spits him out was kind of scary and funny at the same time..
There are other movies like EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS where the spiders were made 1000 times bigger... and human beings looked like insects instead...One with an enlarged crocodile was LAKE PLACID...There was one more in which all the small creatures available on planet were made bigger than human beings.. couldnt watch it with all those cockroaches in it...eeeww.. they are just so irritating...

Then there are movies in which these animals are shown as the hero of the movie rather than the beast which is ready to pounce on people. KING KONG is one such movie... Another was MIGHTY JOE YOUNG which was similar to KING KONG....

Its interesting to see these animals as hero (or villian ) and do stunts too.. gives you a break from those typical hindi movies where people are given fixed roles ( a hero always remains a hero and so does a villian ).. But if you notice one thing.. these animals are more intelligent than you can think of... they stalk people better than our hindi movie villians, they know how to turn the knob and open the door decently.. and last but not the least they can play hide and seek...

Even after these movies are so unrealistic and exagerated.. I should agree with the fact that the graphics are mind blowing and watching them in a theatre does send a chill down through your spine and makes you grasp your seat with fear...It will indeed be worth the money you spend on it.

PANI PURI- The pride of Mumbai

Well... Long time..no blogs... I am this weird creature who doesnt write blogs when free and writes one when busy with exams... lol... Basically I was out of topics... But just yeasterday a very special friend of mine said, "Even your craziest topics turns out to be a very creative blog"...( If he says so..) So here I go with another crazy topic... PANI PURI....

For those who dont know what pani puri is ..Pani puri is an Indian dish basically originated from Mumbai which is spicy, hot, sweet and crispy all at the same time.. Fried puri forms the crispy part... sweet chutney forms the sweet part.. lol..obviously.. thats why its called sweet chutney.. it is made from dates, tamarind etc etc..(cant give you the recipe..I just know how to eat ..cant COOK)..the dal and the so called pani forms the spicy part of it... its called pani because its made in a watery form using pudina and god knows what all...

After making all these its still not over... Its a very complicated algorithm to assemble all these stuff into one piece and then eat it... the algorithm flows something like this..
Step1: Take the puri and make a small hole (approx 2cm dia) on top of it.
Step2: Take little bit of channa (which can be replaced by either potato or moong dal) in a spoon and fill it inside the puri.
Warning: dont fill the whole puri with it.
Step3: Take one tablespoon of sweet chutney and put it inside the puri.
Step4: Take 3 to 4 tablespoons of pani and fill the remaining space in puri with it. (If you want to eat it the Indian way..just take the puri in your hands and dip the whole puri inside the container containing the pani)

Phew... wasnt that tiresome... Trust me the pani puri wallahs do more work than the waiters in a five star hotel and deserve more tips for their service..

Now unlike every other dish in this world the problem doesnt get over with the cooking part.. eating it needs more skill than cooking... trust me eating a pani puri is tougher than eating any dish in this world with a fork and a knife.. After you assemble the pani puri using the above mentioned algorithm.. just dont think about anything and stuff the puri inside your mouth (and dont look into the mirror after you stuff your face). and remember to be quick.. Coz the pani will be dripping out of the puri and its a long journey from the plate to your mouth.. so see to it that there atleast some pani left in it.. and after you stuff it into your mouth the pani will be dripping out from your mouth.. so be ready with a napkin..(Dont ever think of biting the puri into half and eating decently... those things never work with pani puri).

Well....thats about it... those who havent tried out the pani puri thing yet...please go out and have one... No one can afford to miss this..

NUMBERS

NUMBERS

Let me first ask you a question.....
Six guinea pigs injected with 0.5mg of a medication took an average 15.4 secs to fall asleep with an unbiased standard deviation 2.2 secs, while six other guinea pigs injected with 1.5mg of the medication took on an average 11.2 secs to fall asleep with an unbiased standard deviation 2.6 secs. Use 5% level of significance to test the null hypothesis that the difference in dosage has no effect.

This aint any timbuktu lingua..(How I wish it was....) but a sum which is included in the Applied maths subject of semester 5 in our university...
Well....The subject is called Applied mathematics....hmmm..... does that mean maths that can be applied?? ( To find out wether those unfortunate six guinea pigs can fall asleep with a slight change in medication??? lol.... duh!! I think i have better things to do in life)

Basically i am trying to vent out all my anger on today's maths paper which was horribly set... could attempt only about 50% of the paper... totally sucked... i guess the paper setter tried to vent out all his anger on the paper... Personally I think the paper setters and the checkers must be made to go on a lovely beautiful vacation before they do their job...

But other than finding out the effects of a medication on guinea pigs... mathematics can be applied to much much much more interesting fields in our life... I saw a brand new series in AXN called 'NUMBERS'( based on a true story ) where theres this guy who can solve a case (even a case like murder mystery) just by making use of maths.. wow....incredible.. mind blowing... how can one possibly do that!!!!.. Never knew Applied maths had such interesting applications...

I bet we students will love to solve problems involving murbers and thefts rather than to find out what happens to guinea pigs if they were given a little less medication.....
