Inspire '08

"Standing preponderent,embellished in glory,Inspire is back"To cut the crap(CTC),Inspire is back,BIGGER and BETTER.To those who dont know abt Inspire,the biggest technical festival in kerala(I am not kidding!,for a change)...Inspire is the BIGGEST technical festival in kerala( Do i see a few raised eyebrows..),conducted by the computer science department of Cusat.And in 5 years,itz going to raise the standards,and be one among the Biggies in India(Just an assumption seeing the phenomenal growth rate)..For a fact,the prize money is attaining phenomenal growth.The number of events is increasing at approximately the same rate.
So what happens in Inspire?.With a whole host of robotic events,inspire is going HI -FI,this time around.Mechanical humans battling it out in the football field(Robosoccer),and block moving robots is a sure bet to attract crowds.How often does robots play soccer?.And for the programming wizards ,there is the "complete programmer".And For the real wizards(the people who have mastered 8085..this micro is totally greek to me),therez the 8085 programming contest.Catering to our policy to cater to the artists in you,we have web designing.
A very brilliant innovation in inspire this time around is the introduction of online events.So for all those people who are glued to the million social networking websites available(i am no exception),take 30 mins off,take www.acesinspire.com,click on the links,win some solid cash(talking in thousands here),go back to those million social networking sites,and have fun.
My personal favourite,the "Complete professional" where the contestants are subjected to intense verbal duels.Fun for the audience,definitely.The contestants will have their share of the fun when they lay their hands on the fat cash pack.With Arul Mani (yes,THE arul mani,the man ranked as the best quizzer in india) setting up the questions,quoting from a hardcore quizzer friend "every tom,dick and harry of quizzing will be there".So without a shadow of doubt,the quiz is a sure shot success.It will be the best teams in kerala battling it out for top honours.And Then we have gaming,the adrenaline rush,people screaming out,the keyboards getting a battering of a lifetime,yes itz all there.So stop reading my blog,and register at www.acesinspire.com.
See you all there

The Same Story.

You could congratulate him for his very "noble" effort which resulted in ousting the 20th century hitler mr saddam,and establishing democracy in the state of iraq(translated into layman's terms as "OIL..More OIL".)You could blame him for his immensely horrible spellings.But the fact remains...After 9/11,the United States have not seen a terrorist attack of even a small magnitude.They have succeeded in their "war on terror".And India...Without quoting facts and figures,India is definitely the hot destination for the masked villians.The latest city to bear the brunt,the capital city.
So who is the latest scapegoat?.Well,the respected home minister was seen with 3 different pairs of clothes,the media gets turned "on",Shivraj patil for his personal hygiene is the root cause of all the problems.Shivraj patil puts on a new pair of clothes,and lo..a terror attack.Sonia Gandhi calls up an urgent cabinet meeting.She chides mr patil for his hygiene,and announces a new law that prevents cabinet ministers from changing clothes.Laluji is all for it.He rejoices in his own style,adding a new cow to his household.The PM unfortunately, could not attend the meeting,because of his nuclear deal commitments.But "Sonia's Wish is my command".
Jokes aside,Patil,unfortunately ultimately is the scapegoat.So what should change.The government?.Will a change of power reverse the situation.Itz the same biscuit in a new packet(forgive me for the bad analogy).New ,harsh antiterror laws ,which modi has been vocal about?.No,human rights violation is entirely unjustifiable.As they say"You can let a 100 villains free,but never let an innocent man suffer". new laws is not the answer,rather itz the way the existing laws are implemented,that needs to be undergo a change.A proposed federal structure on the model of FBI?.Definitely a very good idea,unless the red tape does not intervene.
Does the world really need another 9/11 to awake itself.I hope not.

BPL,a new season

I did exceed all my expectations.My order of laziness is second to none.If u had checked out my previous post,i had promised myself,a post everyday....ah well...Those who are really interested in english football may continue.Others may go back to being jobless.
The transfer market is finally closed,the deals done in the boardroom,now the real deal to be settled in the green square.The BPL is back with a new name, lots of new faces ,but the same,if not bigger ,dose of entertainment.All the teams did change,some for the better,some for the worse.2 games gone in the season,and we have had 2 manager casualities already curbishley,and keegan.Newcastle has fired iits 1768th manager in as many days.Stability is something that is beyond them.Every season,we expect great things from them,but with unwavering consistency,they disappoint.Itz high time ,they realize the importance of a stable backroom staff.
Curbishley,fair to him,did not deserve the sacking,as well.Yes,his transfer market forays were not entirely successful,but he definitely deserved some more time.He has proved himself as a sturdy professional with charlton,so i definitely think he will bounce back.
The perennial pretenders Tottenham..Well ,all the indications from their perfomances ,point to another season of pretending."Almost" there..but not yet there,Unless Juande Ramos manages to conjure up some magic from his sevilla experiences,marcus bent shows us why he was worth more than Henry!!,and Ledley King manages to stay fit for atleast half the season!!,tottenham is set for another "Almost" season.The biggest news of the summer undoubtedly is the manchester city takeover.A billionaire owner,and bids are already being made for kaka,fabregas,ronaldo(the portugese one,not the useless one),with robinho putting ink to paper for a massive 57 mil.Whether the lesser known manchester side becomes another chelsea or another leeds united,only time will tell.The premier league is turning out to be a hot destination for billionaires nowadays,first chelsea,now mancity.The prospect of money controlling glory is not really a heartwarming prospect for true soccer addicts.
The top four,and chelsea with roman power has really added strength with the addition of portugese maestro deco.Deco ,going by his perfomances,is set to capture the limelight.The reds,have had a quite summer relatively,breaking bank just for the bulgarian frontman berbatov.Definitely a great addition,but the best piece of business for them would have been keeping cristiano.Gunners true to their nature have bought in a 17 year old in aaron ramsey,and a 20 year old in nasri.The fact that these youngsters learn their trade in a very condusive atmosphere in arsenal,and when the deal is done,and they become the finished product,they move on to seemingly "greener" pastures,and ruin themselves,does not stop wenger from breeding these young geniuses.Flamini ,to take a name warmed the bench for 3 years,and finally when he made his mark last season,he opts to move out.Hleb blames the climate and moves for barcelona.The climate!!..wtf,itz all about the money.But wenger,the genius he is,will still be expecting great things from his very very young side,and hopefully they will be able to deliver silverware this time around.Whatever happens,the football is great,and thatz the only thing,i care.

PS: Happy onam to all..
