NFS Undercover

Come November 18 and we all would all see the thirteenth installment of NFS, by the name NFS undercover. You will be playing an undercover agent, who goes underground in Tri-City- the largest virtual city ever created by NFS Team, based on American west-coast cities. Tri-City will contain four distinct part known as Palm Harbor, Port Cresent, Gold Coast Mountains, and Sunset Hills. The gameplay is touted to be like the previous best seller Most Wanted. The map is shown below:-


As usual, sprint and circuit will be there in the gameplay. Bad news for drifting fans though, there is no drifting in this installment. There will also be the return of highway battles (though the name is new, it is all about driving in traffic and police behind your back). Specific missions will be there as well. As usual Cops and robber mode will be there as well. This mode has been named The Heist. This mode will be made for online gaming in which each team will have upto 8 players and robbers will try to get the packages to a destination and cops will try to thwart them. Online mode will also feature sprint, circuit, point-to-point, highway battles. You are undercover but you still have chases because you break every law to bring down criminals.

The police will be a lot tougher to beat this time. The Helicopter will make a comeback as a police vehicle. The AI (of police) will be able to use advanced precision immobilization techniques. They are called Tri-City Police Department, TCPD for short.

It is expected to be released for the platforms:- Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, Nintendo DS, PC - DVD, Xbox, PS3, Mobile.

Characters include :-
Chase Linh (the only officer to whom player report, played by the famous Maggie Q)
Lt. Keller (another officer)

Legal and free Disco in India

Well, you might wonder how come the disco is free in India... It is, and I guess it is the largest chain anywhere in the world too... But it does comes with a limitation; It is only open for around twice at most the places, for three to four hours only and that too in day and strictly closed at night... Yeah, I am talking about Temples in India... You are free to bring as many friends as you can and dance to highly inspiring songs(these days they are even playing remix versions), till you drop... You can take your girlfriend and even have the guts to ask her mother... You even won't have to keep checking on everybody in case they break something(its public property and everyone take care of things themselves, unlike if you throw a party at your own house)... On Shivratri you even get 'Bhang'... Free dosage, drink as much as you want and get as high as you want and that too free of cost... Mingle with persons unknown and don't have fear of getting mugged... Whereas a party of this scale might cost a fortune but atleast it is not you who will be paying... :)

So get out your dancing dresses and get cracking... you won't be needing any shoes on the plus side.. that will be another thing that you wont have to spend money on... :p

Dump

She fascinated him throughly. His heart stopped beating at every smile of hers.

He had seen many girls in his life but never been this spellbound by anyone of them before. He couldn't seem to concentrate where he was going and kept circling to have a lasting look at this beauty. He would have given anything for a simple fleeting glance from the girl in his direction.

No, that wouldn't suffice. He must pecker up his courage and talk to her. But when her smallest of smiles can stop his heart-beat, would he be able to talk to her sanely, and that too in front of four or five other girls surrounding her. At this thought his head lowered, slightly away from the gal, for the first time after he had seen her.

But soon his eyes were peeled again in direction of the charming lady. He heard someone calling but he couldn't care less, there were all sort of noise all around him. Without thinking his mind had settled that he must look at this gal forever and nothing that others do matter. But suddenly he felt someone place his hand on his shoulder and say "fine choice you have my friend", he turned around and looked at this stranger abusing him in his heart as if he literally had snatched something very precious from him. He couldn't think of anything to say and turned back to watching the girl again. But the stranger didn't take the hint and continued talking, "She is a beauty, unlike any other on this planet, isn't she." He still maintained his silence.

A minute passed or was it entirety, he seemed to lose track of time. His shoulder itched and upon looking up he found that the stranger was still with him and his hand was still on his shoulder. "What do you want?" he asked coldly. The stranger smiled. He said, "I want you to go and chat with that lady u have been watching for past few minutes. She is in her best mood and I think the time is right for you to make a move and tell her what u think about her, before it is too late." He considered this for a minute while he watched her again. This is exactly what he wanted but what would he say. The stranger as if reading his mind said,"Just take this hint before you go, she likes to drink whatever she is holding when she ponders positively but look down at her glass otherwise. Go now, time and tide wait for no-one my friend."

He stood still pondering on this. His head began to work as if something had finally connected to the gears in his brain and he took a tentative step forward. Stopped and looked back but the stranger was gone, was this a joke that stranger had played on him? how did he know so much about that girl? question burst into his forehead like fireworks. Should he go on or stop right here, he wondered.

Rest in next post... ;)

Life of an employee

The life poses a responsibility for every right you earn, an obligation for each opportunity u achieve. Each turn you take, might take you to the top or else make u fall. Life is a cruel lesson which hardens us as we progress. Make us do and think like the world, and if we dont, we are under appreciated, treated like wallows and made to be part of every mistake that ever happened, whether we were in it or not. Only those can remain standing who have authority and power over others.

And even then the life demands. And what does the life want : - thats simple enough money, wealth, stature and everything related with it. But are these all really important, so as to waste whole life on them. We work all our life just for a few wad of notes, and for that humiliated and used like the company owns us. Are we humans or not? We work like there is no humane power within us. We each dance and jump if the company orders us too. Are we mere puppets?

Sickness and hunger become the part of daily routine. But who cares, the company doesn't see that. It only sees that the cash flow generated by so and so employee has degraded, subtract from his salary and whatever service he may have had done before is forgotten in blink of an eye.

We work, yes we do. Hard work. Not like managers sitting at the top and enjoying the air-conditioner while employees get beat. And after that we are not even given 2% of what all we bring for the company.

And in the end, we resign, unable to take anymore. But that has absolutely no effect on the company. They can easily replace us.

A few weeks/month later we join a new company, which presents its good-self for the first month or so and then gradually becomes the same. And then we change again, might do it a couple of times more, but till when. An age will come when we will have to stay, suffer in silence, cause we will be ill-fitted to be applying for job at the age when everyone retires. Or we renounce everything and wait for our departure.

And finally we die, a few tears fall and then everything is same as before.

Over the years, life has changed its meaning so drastically, that man hasn't yet been able to accommodate all the changes that life transpires. All of us run behind money. We waste our childhood in preparation for later age. when it comes we all do work, work and more work. Where did everything went wrong? Why do we have to undergo such things? Wouldnt it have been good enough if we were taught the ways of nature and then sent on trip of the world? That would have been an awesome adventure and nobody would have been in rush. Leisure would have been everybody's prime concern. But no, we all have to play our part. Be the holder of the maximum money, so that we can show the other that we have more wealth. The more the wealth the greater the stature.

Is money now the only prowess left in this world?

Hallucination retold

Today I woke up early as I had to catch shane punjab from nizamuddin station. My ticket was reserved and my coach was D9. Raman a friend of mine was to board from New Delhi station. As the train approached the station, it slowed down, i sat at the window looking out for Raman. As the platform came into view I started watching out for him. Almost at the starting of the platform I caught sight of surbhi, I did a double back or back track and looked again. Yes there she was. I kept looking at her our eyes met. She also started staring at me from recognition or from been-stared-at I couldn't tell. She was with her dad.

Now as in movies everything went really slow. I saw her expression change as she recognized me. We kept looking at each other until the train broke our eye contact and line of sight. I was really confused as to what should i do. Hell I should have jumped from the moving train itself and tried to search her, look for her as soon as i could but, stupid me, i didn't. The train finally came to a stop. Through the window I saw Raman standing outside. Now my brain started working and I realized that I have to go and look for her. I got up and went toward the door, but the incoming passengers made it difficult for me to get down. I waited cursing myself that I didn't got down before when i could. I soon got a chance and I leapt forward only to hit an old man passing by at a fast speed. And another man pulled my sleeve from behind. I couldn't think my brain was not working. All i knew was tht i had to find her, reach her somehow. The old man was like 'kya hai' and the man behind me was asking where this train will be going to.

I apologized to the old man then answered the man behind me that this train will go to Amritsar, though i kept a straight face, I was cursing them for delaying me inside my heart. Then I caught up with Raman and told him where our seats were and told him to see to my luggage and I started going back, in what you can call walking sprint in a crowded place, to where I last saw her. I kept looking through each passing window and checking if she was sitting anywhere. But I reached the very end but couldn't locate her. The last coach was of luggage and two coached in front of it were general. I went back toward my coach more slowly and looking more keenly than before but still I couldn't find her. I boarded the train again and went all the way back and checked each seat in between for signs of her but i found no signs of her. I did a back turn when I reached the last boogie and went back to my own coach as slowly and looking at each person that I passed. At last I came back to my own coach which was next to the AC coach and had to stop since I couldn't have passed that without AC ticket.

My bad luck, seeing her after so long I couldn't even say hi to her.

Later, some days after this incident, I called her and asked her if she was there at New Delhi on so and so date, she said that she wasn't. I must have seen someone else. A nice bit of hallucination there.

My sister

I miss my sis

speaking to her is my wish

I should make a phone

connecting both free, whenever alone

Her life is example of quick cadence

sometimes light and sometime dense

She excels in academic and play

always answer without any delay

she is bit citified, habitually

bring medal and trophies annually

hope she remain that way

hope she always win, I pray

My sister

She is always there to help

whenever i yell and yelp

in my mind and heart she dewel

she is brighter than any jewel

You can bet on her in competitions of art

in many skits and plays she has taken part

for excellence, she strives

and take part in "save nature" drives

In seminar and lecture she leads

under her belt she has many a good deeds

she is one of her kind

so hard to find

Free advice

The advertisement tht said tht Indian people give lot of free advices was extremely true. I dont understand why so many people always have a go at us children. Even if they are meeting us for the first time and they know nothing abt us.. then also they will b like...

"kitna bade baal rakhe hua hay"

//whats the matter i have long hair, they r my problem, and wht abt ur children, its like they dont have hairs and r completely bald....

"Dekho chote baal kitne aache lagenge tumhare pe"

//Free advice. And their next sentence would b the same...

"Chinku(or whatever the name of their children happens to b) ne bhi bade baal kar liye hai, in logo ko kitna samjha lo, lekin sunte nahi hai hamari"

"Arre ye phati hui pant kyun pahan rakhi hai"

//Or koi topic milta hi nahin hai... hamare baal, pant, dressing style etc... or to koi topic hi nahin

"Mene dekha tha center market me ek shop me bahut hi achi pant thi... vo me chinku ko leke de di, bahut hi suit karti hai us pe.... aap bhi chalna hamare saath, phati hui pant se to achi lagegi"

//Phele to pucha nahin ki meri pant kaisi hai and fir aap apne bache ko jo bhi leke do mujhe kya... Fir se free advice

"Or kya kar rahe ho beta"

//Then my reply as usual, b.tech kar raha hun aunty

"Acha, badiya hai... dekho achi tahra se padai karna..."

//Mujhe to pata hi nahin tha

"Ab tum bade ho gaye ho"

//Acha to ab bhi tumhare comment kyun sun raha hun

"Ab bus tumhe hi apne mata pita ki seva karni hai, "

//Hanji aunty... atleast ek hi baat aap ki mujhe achi lagi

And its like they have timed their visit and they will keep speaking till the end and very rapidly as if they have prepared all tht they will say to us in advance... and all their speech they would praise themselves and abuse us in a language tht we can't use on them yet... let the time come...
