Excerpt from the Speech given by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis.
Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same with life, where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.
One thing about nurturing the spark - don’t take life seriously. Life is not to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? It’s ok, bunk a few classes, goof up a few interviews, fall in love. We are people, not programmed devices.

AUTO EXPO 2008, NEW DELHI, INDIA (2008 January, 17). Auto Expo (Asia’s largest Automotive show), held at the Pragati Maidan, serves as a platform to showcase automobile and auto-component industry. Being organized for the past 18 years, this expo has on display all the automobile models that have been recently introduced in the market.
It was the last day and the last few hours of Auto Expo 2008 before we had missed it and thus, it was more than worth watching.
Those Cars and Bikes with the latest technology, SEXY, SLEEK, and their STYLISH BODY thrills the minds of each and every youngster.
HAPPY NEW YEAR (2008 January, 01) - The very first day of 2008 and thus, it was mandatory that something special should be organized and that should be ENJOYED to the fullest.
We (with whom time always seems short and insufficient - Aman, Amrit, Ananth, Sumeet and Vivek) have planned to meet at sector 17, Chandigarh, roam there, have fun there, then have our food at Sallad Bar, Hot Millions, Sector 17, Chandigarh. Eventually and as always we decided to have a cup of coffee at Cafe Coffee Day, Sector 35, Chandigarh.
It was an AWESOME time and A LOT of FUN as always.
NEW YEAR EVE (2007 December, 31) - The last day of the year and thus, it always gonna remain a special one and gonna be enjoyed for years and years to follow. Everyone have different ways of enjoying it. We too have enjoyed it a lot but as it was quite unplanned and so, we have decided that that we gonna organize and celebrate our next new year eve at Taj Hotel, Sector 17, Chandigarh.

Today, I received a mail with this inspirational video - real good one and thus, I wanted that it should be shared with all and thus, its here but before that go through the following quotation…
Quotation:
Be the change that you want to see in this world.” - Mahatma Gandhi
The above quotation suits “BEST” with the following video
Must watch video - teaches us that we MUST NOT wait for others or things to happen of their own rather we need to get up and be the change that we want to see in this world.
DOWNLOAD ANYTHING: Not sure, whether to call it “Hacking Google” or rather “Hacking the websites” where google just assist us in hacking the precious or valuable stuff from these websites. Basically, it’s just crawling and searching the web server directories for the data (files) available with them in accordance to the search inputs submitted by you and thus, providing you with the desired results.
Of course, it’s a security threat but till the time you are getting the free songs, movies, e-books to download, WHO CARES, isn’t it? So, here’re the quick steps to get started:
Open up google.com in your web browser (IE, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc)
Type the following replacing constants (in italics) with your search values in google search box the following -
 intitle:”index.of”(filetype_extensions) “expected_file_name“
and then just click on the “Google Search” button.
Video:
and there is already a website providing this whole concept a UI to make your lives even better and much easier.
Searchhacker.com - A search engine that lets you find free mp3, ebooks, fonts, ringtones, webcams, lyrics, people and many more file formats in unsecured directories with various clever search techniques - powered by Google Co-op.
There’s much more to it but I think it’s enough for the moment to get what you are and were looking for…
SWEET MEMORIES: It’s the time when there use to be only one TV at our homes with only one or maximum two channels to watch and thus, every serial and every song had a great value to itself, though I was not a BIG TIME TV surfer .
Doordarshan - The one and only daily entertainment dose of every Indian.
I still remember the days when we all use to wait for every Friday to watch the latest songs (Chitrahar) on our favorite channel Doordarshan. Today, just try to visualize - you are allowed to watch songs just for half an hour a week and that too at a pre-scheduled time (Friday, 8:00PM) .
Listed below are some of the serials and commercials, that will definitely gonna remind you with your kindergarten days and of course, I can already see a smile on your face :
Chitrahaar - Songs at their best; half an hour, once a week (Friday, 8:00PM).
Ramayan and Mahabharat - you can’t argue with your grand-parents on this, everything can stop when it comes to these serials and anything was possible with these serials. Remember those bow & arrows spreading fires and killing 1000 of people with a single shot .
Malgudi Days
Chandrakanta - Karuuuur Singh (Yakoo)
lyrics: “Chandrakanta kee kahani hai sadeyon purani, …“
Jungle Book - Mowglee, Bagira, Sherkhan
lyrics: “Jungle jungle baat chali hai pataa chala hai, chaddi pehen ke phool khila hai..“
video:
Cartoons - Ducktales, Telespin after Chanakya at 10:30AM, Sunday morning. Uncle screwz , always screwed.
Chanakya
Vyomkesh Bakshi - Detective serials of your times
Fauji & Circus - Initial start of Shahrukh Khan’s career which made him quite popular on TV.
Humlog, Buniyaad
Nukkad - khopdi (drunken, always - still alive)
Tipu Sultan
Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne - wow
Fatichar
Surbhi
Vikram Vetaal
and there were many more to this list..
There is a little more to it…
“Mile sur mera tumhara, too sur baane humara” - it was such a long song and boring too
Days when the TV set too use to sleep; it was between late night and early morning… you must be knowing it if you have ever got a chance to switch your TV ON between that time… there use to be rainbow colored 7-10 vertical strips on your TV Screen with some irritating background sounds.
Also, how can one forget “Rookavat ke liye khed hai“
A few good & bad commercials
Hamara Bajaj
Nirma Detergent
Ek Anek Aur Ekta
There is so much more but I have to go now.. but i’ll be back with some more interesting, loving and enjoyable stuff till then…,
