How you doin?
Thursday, July 12, 2007
Hello people/readers (that is if there are any remaining out there). Just loggin in to say I have taken a break from the blog. Facebook takes up my time nowadays. I'll probably just post here when I have a big announcement or a new photo album to show off. Till then, take care and enjoy.

This so wrong and so cool at the same time:
Oh define me, define me!

If I were to be defined by just one video, this would have to be it. Just replace the cat by me and the owner by the cruel cruel world.

I'm sure by now every one's heard/read of the VT massacre. I wont bore you with anything that hasn't been said yet by the thousands of news sites and other bloggers. I'm writing this after having watched the Cho Seung-Hui's tapes and pictures which he recorded before committing the crime. He then mailed to these to NBC's office in New York that too between the two killing sprees.
Now with this memorandum being publicized to no end, I'm thinking the next socially out casted psychopath will try to follow footsteps. Not only that, he/she might even try to outdo the "largest ever school massacre" for even greater posthumous fame. How do I know this for sure? Cho Seung-Hui in his videos clearly paid respects to the two killers of the Columbine school shootings, calling them "martyrs".
On a separate note, the way he is dressed and posed makes him look very much inspired by video-games thus another barrage of protests against violent VGs is imminent.
In such events I guess the media/news has no option but to give the public whatever information they can get their hands on. It's just that someone very vulnerable is watching it and sees an easy way to glory in the competitive world.
Edit: It seems there is some sanity in this world after all. Canada's TV station, CBC, has refused to air the killer's video for the above mentioned reasons. Bravo.

This is what landed in my spam box a few minutes ago:

Kings have long arms.
They want me to work (remove '@') to go to their spyware infested site and in compensation they offer a good/lame joke. I LOL'ed. If only I had long arms.
One redeeming quality of this spam email was its brevity, two lines and to the point. Usually you have to read paragraphs filled with words like 'pen!s', 'v!@gr@' and the like. Kudos, but no sale for you today my friend.
Edit: More spam fun, this time, there's some serious competition going on. Hmmm, which one should I choose...

Let the minnows play. They show the "big boys" what it means to have a fighting spirit.
The Cosmic Joker at work. Yesterday the knives were out against including minnows in the world cup and today they have shown how useful they can be against spineless, gutless and uninspired teams like India and Pakistan. Pakistan is now out of the WC after losing to an unseeded team, Ireland (I feel for people who paid to go to West Indies and also for those who paid huge sums for pay per view TV). India's chances are also dwindling. They have to win big against Sri Lanka and Bermuda to proceed to the next round. Bermuda, they might make it, but SL will give them a fight.
In 2003 too India lost their opening WC match against Australia and came back hard to end up as runners up in that tournament. This time around though its a different story, lost to Bangladesh whose collective experience is less than that of Tendulkar, Ganguly or Dravid individually.
A team of teenagers (BD's average age is 24) showed a bunch of tired 30 somethings how to play cricket. One guy who stood out for me was BD's opening batsman, Tamim Iqbal. Just 17 years of age, he thrashed Indian bowling like village cricket. In one over he got hit in the neck by a bouncer from Zaheer, after waiting two balls, he caressed one on the off-side for a four and bludgeoned one down the ground for the same result. That made it obvious that India don't have the bowling strength to trouble the big wigs in the tournament. As much as I would like to see India go ahead in the WC, its best that they assess their situation in the first round itself rather than falsely raise the hopes of billions.
Bah, I'm done. C'mon India, prove me wrong.
PS: No India-Pak encounter this time...
It had to happen
Friday, March 16, 2007
This is what happens when you pit world class batsmen against people from Netherlands who play cricket in their free time. I still dont know why ICC lets minnows play in the world cup. They are nothing but fodder for world records and massive totals.
In any case, Herchelle Gibbs of South Africa has managed to hit 6 sixes in an over of one day cricket. South Africa managed to amass 353 runs from only 40 overs (to those totally blank about cricket, a normal one day match has 50 overs). Those 353 runs might as well come off of 35 overs since SA were only 4 runs for 1 wicket after 5 overs; an astonishing runrate of 9.9 (349/35).
Yea, nobody thought of the children. Here's the massacre in its glory.

Divorce for calling wife a mouse
By Bassam Za'za', Staff Reporter
Dubai: A Dubai court granted a divorce to a 28-year-old Arab woman because she was offended when her husband said she looked like a mouse.
The court said comparing the wife to a mouse was an insult to a "mother, wife and a woman".
"The mouse is a disgusting animal. A woman should not be compared to it or any other animal," said the lawyer of the woman, a mother of three children.
The Dubai Sharia Court of First Instance had earlier turned down the wife's claim for divorce. She then appealed and was granted the divorce. The 37-year-old husband was also ordered to pay her a monthly maintenance.

I need a haircut!
Friday, January 26, 2007
Have you ever gotten a haircut by a man, named Luigi, faking a bad Italian accent? No? Well here's your chance. Download the mp3 below, put on headphones (very important), play and enjoy your visit to the barber.
The technique of recording such pieces is known as Binaural Recording. These recordings are optimised for headphone listening and simulate your two ears by using two microphones as listening devices; as opposed to one microphone gathering both left and right channel information.
Enough talk, here's the mp3.
I've done it again...

Mix one part boredom, one part technophile, one part wannabe audiophile, a dash of graduation gift money and this is what you get:
A very happy Ali sporting a pair of Sennheiser HD-595s. Yes, I gave in to one of the desires listed in my year review. Got the headphones off a member (who turned out to be desi) of a headphone forum that I frequent *a lot* now. It was a steal at 130 bucks considering it retails at $200 in online stores. I just couldn't pass that up.
Moreover, all dynamic headphones go through a phase called "burn in" when played for the first time. After this period their drivers settle properly and play the sound the engineer designed them for. Now since I got them used they had already been burnt in (over 100 hours). So win-win for me. :D
Edit:
Thought I should also review my headphones a little bit. I started my headphone journey from $15 headphones/ear clips by the name of Koss KSC75. Now these were only cheap by the price and not in quality. Coming from laptop speakers, I was finally happy to hear the bass and treble in the songs, as opposed just the midrange. Lived with these babies for a good 5-6 months before "upgraditis" attacked.
Next stop, AKG K81DJ. True to their name, these were DJ style closed headphones with a higher dosage of bass. But bass also has quality, it's not supposed to be like one large subwoofer blowing air in your ear. Before I heard the newer 595s I thought the bass on the K81's was the bees knees. Thoroughly enjoyed these cans (I am a basshead) before the constant exposure to the forum over at head-fi.org introduced me to the absolute magic known as HD-595. Upgraditis attack number two.
Sennheiser HD-595. I have finally found out what balanced sound means. No "woof woof" bass, but tight low beats and smooth midtones with just the right amount of sparkle in the treble. Im hearing all my songs again just to hear the details I missed with my earlier cans. And I cant believe the small nuances in the sound which got shadowed by bass mostly with the AKG cans.
I think I'm going to stop visiting that forum now. Even though 595's aren't in any way the end all be all set of headphones; it's just that from here on headphones go into $500-$15000 range for a minute improvement in quality (the law of diminishing returns). Yea, lets just keep it at that. ;)

Another round of TAG!
Tuesday, January 02, 2007
I have been tagged by Hemlyn. I'm supposed to review my year. A heavy emphasis on "suppose"; I usually avoid such things, given my memory. Anyway, time to make stuff up ;).
The good:
- Trip home (Dubai), Trip further back home (Nagpur, India), trip to Switzerland.
- Ski trip (spring break 06)
- Going to the roller coaster HQ, Cedar Point, and not waiting in lines. Doesnt get any better.
- Graduation
- Having friends I can count on
The bad:
- Stupid/Bone headed professors for some of my courses.
- New crazy/expensive hobby; quality headphones. Constant cravings to get better ones. Also fighting other urges of a digital SLR and a new laptop. I'm such a techwhore.
- Its true, I'm now officially overweight or atleast bordering on it. The years of burgers/pizzas downed with a Coke are showing their effects; specifically in the belly area. :)
The ugly:
- Leaving school. It was fun. Friends part their ways and stuff like non-chalantly chilling on a weekend with a hookah and a pack of cards become a distant memory.
Goodbye 2006. Here's to a fabulous and properous 2007. Happy New Year all!
No official tags but I'd like to read a review from all my blogging friends.
