How you all doing?
Well life's moving slowly on my side (Apart from shopping) and so is in the rest of Dubai. It's Ramadan and I barely get to see much of traffic all around until late nights even at the famous avenues. But London is in all sorts of hurry!
Yess! 2012 London Olympics has finally BeGun (Man Style)! and what an amazing opening ceremony it was... Amazing fireworks (I always love fireworks), Brilliant performances(I dint gave a shit though..:P) and the parade was good too! (still Don't understand why they were in a hurry) and the controversial inclusion of anonymous in Indian parade team (India and controversies are never apart).

For a moment I still can't believe that Olympics are back after 4 years, I mean I still have those images of Abhinav Bindra winning gold in 10m air pistol back in my mind, Its as if it was just a few days back. I wonder if earth is gaining some pace revolving around sun.

Well it looks like I don't need to plan my next 15 days, I was sitting right in front of the T.V for almost 6-7 hours yesterday and was still a bit angry when Dad switched it off at almost midnight because I wasn't letting anyone sleep... *Evil laugh*

It was an action packed day yesterday with most of the Indian athletes Unexpectedly letting others expectations down  but the biggest shock to me came when one of my favourite Michael Phelps failed to win a medal in 400m freestyle.(Is this the end of his era?). Well I'm supporting US just because they are the ones who can beat China in overall medal tally.

Ps to Anthropists: Koi Hai??? yoohoooo!

We are all witnessing the changing music trend in Bollywood, I'm talking about the trend of adding Punjabi song in Bollywood films. It has become so common that every now and then we get to hear a Punjabi song in a film and most often the track goes on to become a great hit all thanks to the energetic music. Well to me that's the need of the hour too! people are fed up of romantic duet songs they need something that lifts their energy. Literally speaking both romantic and duet songs sound low class. That's what I think (No offence).
Omg! this is exactly what my IELTS teacher would have expected from me, A perfect formal introduction!...:)

The increasing passion of people towards this music has given lot opportunities to some of the Punjabi singers to come to Bollywood and sing with some of the world class music directors and singers too and biggest example is Mika, not the British one! but its Daler Mehndi's brother Mika (Rakhi Sawant wala!). Now he is so popular that every 1 out of 2 movies has his song. I don't understand why the music directors chose him over so many other great singers! I personally don't like him at all and so does the most of the Punjab.

Talking about Punjabi music in Punjab well its mostly Honey Singh who's giving the music, the hits and the headlines for all good and bad reasons. He's THE best music director in Punjab right now but he's sometimes criticised for raps, a lot recently. His songs are like Indian railways where no one knows when its gonna strike the charts but ones it comes its as exciting as rail journeys and some times as dangerous too (rare adult songs)..:P

The guy is from my district *Proudly*..:)
He's been recently in headlines for his album "International villager" which even after 10 months of its release is doing far better then other new albums and is all over radio channels even in U.A.E
There are rumours that he has been paid the highest fees ever for a Bollywood song (70 Lakh), don't know the song though.

And also recently released Punjabi film "Jatt and Juliet" has become an all time blockbuster, having shattered all the records in Punjab the movie is also a great success overseas and even after 3 weeks of its release some of its shows are still houseful even in Delhi. The film grossed around 20 crores from just around 180 screens world wide. Just compare it with hindi movies which are released at average on around 1200 screens and also when there are very few people in this world who are interested in Punjabi cinema. We slowly but surely picking up.
That's it for now... Ohh and the trailer of upcoming hindi movie "Son of Sardar" is out go check it out if you haven't seen it yet, Its really funny!
Chalo bhai Tata mera!..:P

This will be remarked as a day when the world lost its real super hero "Dara Singh". He was a lot more then just a normal person. A legend for some, a superhero for kids of 80s and 90s, a role model for those wrestlers who wanted to be like him, A great actor and a great personality in real life. A person with many personalities and one huge heart.

He was the only person whose stories were more then enough to imagine how great he would have been back in his wrestling career. Though I never saw him fight but my dad use to tell me about some of his fights when I was a kid and they were none less then a superhero stories and they were real!

Well I think with his death a bond is broken, A bond between two generations. A father and his son who use to watch him at the same time but with two different images in mind.

Hey!
-- Skip this part and scroll down if you are not a political geek.



On the other hand, (I'll make my point here that why i have called media biased). Same ''Time Magazine'' Titled ''Modi Means Business''. It has a long article that why Modi should be the prime minister and also about his achievements etc. Though it also contains the reference to the 2002 Gujarat violence. You can make out what i am trying to say (If you can't then..erm..then nothing. you just can't)






Apart from all this politics Indian life is all the same if you are not busy. When i was studying it was just awesome. I was addicted to studying 24/7. But now its all about internet, news, politics (Don't get astonished if you see me in the next lok sabha elections). I have become so much interested in politics after coming to India. First thing i do in the morning is check news for all the latest political happenings.

I don't know but whenever i see this photo (Below) I laugh out or at least smile, I also get a bit nostalgic. Old days will always remain good days in my diary..as you always hate the present. hmm...

Well i am waiting now-a-days for my college to reopen. I am keeping myself busy by editing Wikipedia ( No, i am not banned now. Thank you). I am an official Wiki editor now, if you guys want any article to be made you know who to approach ( Thats right! its me. Dont tell me you were thinking about someone else :(  ).

 PS. Nice try Andy! But Roger finally got it ...Again huahahuahua (Asthma laugh- Rajesh Version ©All Rights Reserved.).

EXCUSE ME! there's someone waiting in the queue to write a post!
Why you Brake the Law???
Well yea I've been for waiting for the last 2-3 days to write a post by keeping at least a 24 hour gap between the two but due to some heavy material delivering urgency from Shark I've been waiting aside.

Okay! here's a good fact about Punjabis, whenever we meet a stranger the first thing we do is to find out whether there's any family relation between us or not, if yes then that's great but if not then there are some who are secretly trying to create relations between the 2 families. Moral: we like healthy things- healthy food, healthy body and healthy relationships...:D

Why am I discussing all this? Well first of all I'm a Punjabi(If you have doubt go read "Overdose") and secondly I'm going through something like this right now!

Last time I went to India I stayed there for around 6 months and attended lots and lots of marriages and I'm so tired of it that I don't wanna attend any marriage at least for a year or two even if its mine!..:P

Marriages means meeting some relatives and a lot of strangers who are actually relatives to you somehow (Door ke rishtedar), I met a lot of them after a long time and some of them even for the first time and Unsurprisingly  most of them were Surprised when they saw me, I was a kid back then when I came to Dubai around 11 years back but I was a 5'10" giant with a beard around his face and big turban. And most of them were saying the same thing "I remember you being a Notorious kid, you've grown up a lot! (WTH! do you expect me to be the same for my whole life?? you've grown up too! you look "Old" *In my mind), So now that you are the only unmarried guy left among your brothers what are your plans about it? And even before I could say something they use to suggest me as well "Look the palace is booked, all the relatives are together, I suggest you to do it now!" Well I somehow escaped from there.

I was talking to one of my cousin in US yesterday and we are quite frank with each other but we were not around this time as mom and dad were sitting next to me but then suddenly Bhabhi ji (Brother's wife) came on the phone, I wished her and she wished me too but then suddenly she shifted to the topic about my marriage and even before I could realize what's going on she was like I know you've seen a girl too!
Me: No!, I haven't! o.O
Bhabhi ji: Then I've seen a girl for you, shall we start conversation with her parents?
Me: No! not for 4-5 years AT LEAST!
Bhabhi ji: What about the engagement then? Do it now
Me: No! not for 4-5 years, I wanna do engineering first!
Bhabhi Ji: Who is stopping you from doing that!? this is important too!
Me: I don't wanna do it atleast for 4-5 years!
Bhabhi ji: Even the girl wants to study first, She'll be doing law!
Me: No! I don't wanna talk about it for 4-5 years (Mom and Dad asking me about whats going on)
Bhabhi ji: This means that you've found someone, I knew it! btw when are you coming here?
Me: Nooo! atleast not for 4-5 years! Oh I mean we are coming next month.

Now this a situation where you just can't answer anything!
I thought being the only unmarried guy in the family would mean a lot of advantage over others but surely its not turning out to be in the way I wanted it to be, They all wanna hang another guy like they are been hanged...

-GURU

When my teachers in kindergarten used to ask me what you want to become when you grow up..I used to say.. I..I..Want to beeecome a Pilot!. After i grew up my parents didn't approve my decision to join either IAF or Professional Pilot training. Okay..i said. ill become a Engineer then!...Then i faced one more dilemma. I got orders from my mother that i cannot join Civil or Mechanical. I said Okay..and only branch i was interested in was EC. Rest you all know.

Well..I don't know how much you guys like plane landings. But i love to land planes.(Without being in them). So i decided to show you guys one of my landings on St Julianna International with a Emirates Boeing 787.

Well hello everybody, I have been witnessing some renewed interest into our blog and I believe it's for the good. First of all, congrats to Shariq for UPSEE and to Paji for Canada. Now secondly, I'm here just to babble about life and science.

So, let's get started. I think you guys have all been listening and reading about the so-called "God particle" in the news these days and why should you not, Higgs Boson is the material of active research and more importantly it's existence will complete the Standard Model of Particle Physics or the theory of almost everything.

WHAT IS THE GOD-PARTICLE?
Now, most of us must be wondering as to what the God-Partice actually is. The God-Particle or technically "Higgs Boson" is a particle that is associated with the Higgs Field. So, in order to understand these bosons we need to know as to what the Higgs Field is. Higgs Field is theoretical and in theories it pervades the whole of the cosmos (outer space). The particles like Photons which make up the light are not affected by it and hence have no mass while others like electrons interact with this field and have mass given by the field. A Wikipedia definition of the Higgs Field is "The Higgs field, in a simple definition, is an hypothetical theory for existence of an ubiquitous quantum field that is responsible for giving elementary particle (like protons and neutrons) their masses." In other words the Higgs Field says that the matter is made up of mostly Higgs Bosons.

I have a subject called Physics I, where we deal with Statistic Mechanics and the various statistical aspects of matter. One of the theories of Statistical Mechanics is the Bose-Einstein Statistics whose particles are known as "Bosons". Hence, The God-Particle is also a boson. A boson, named and predicted by an Indian Physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, is a particle which by definition obeys the Bose-Einstein statistics, overrules the Pauli's exclusion principle, and carry energy instead of matter (unlike Fermions). Now, you guys must be like why are we discussing bosons rather than God-Particles, the reason is that out of the six elementary bosons, i.e, the four gauge bosons, the graviton, and the Higgs boson, only Higgs boson have not yet been detected. But, more importantly if we know the properties and behavior of bosons we can identify Higgs Bosons easily.
Higgs Boson is the heaviest of the particles and hence the name, God-Particle. It has mass in orders of billion electron volts! That's huge! And if the current findings are exact i.e, upto the order of 5 sigma accuracy, the mass of a Higgs Boson could be about 127 GeV. Keep in mind that 1GeV is equal to 1 billion electron volts.

A Higgs Boson is like a celebrity walking in space, it is always cluttered with the Higgs Field while the photon is some normal guy on the same street. The Higgs Bosons is the signature of the field, the celebrity. 

STANDARD MODEL

What is the Standard Model or the Theory of Everything? Well, actually it isn't the theory of everything as it does not incorporates the existence of the gaps within the universe known as "Dark Matter". But what this model does is that it satisfactorily explains the fundamental forces of the universe using 12 fundamental particle, and apparently Higgs was the only particle not yet discovered! So, Wuala, here we go. Now one can easily understand the nature of the time and space during the Big Bang. Basically, from my personal study(which, in fact, is very small) I think the Standard Model to Physics is like Evolution to Biology.

But we still have to determine a lot of things and particles, laws of time and space and many other things before one can propose a "Theory of Everything". 

HOW WAS HIGGS-BOSON DISCOVERED?

It was discovered after 40 years of its proposal by Peter Higgs. And is one the largest announcement in Physics since the discovery of the Quarks. I don't know what Quarks are since much studies were limited to Bosons. And I'll hopefully learn it in the future :D

The Higgs Bosons was discovered at Hadron Collider, the biggest particle accelerator or simply a very sophisticated Cyclotron. And it was done by smashing opposite proton beams and creating a 1 millionth second of the Big Bang. The Higgs were seen giving masses to the other particles.

A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE



According to Rolf Heuer, Director CERN
"The discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson opens the way to more detailed studies, requiring larger statistics, which will pin down the new particle's properties, and is likely to shed light on other mysteries of our universe."

What does he mean by shedding light into the mysterious of the universe? Our universe is made up of huge amount mass, mass that is beyond imagination. And the observable mass like the Galaxies, the planets, the stars only account for about 4 percent! So, What is the rest 96 percent? As far as I can think, we don't know any thing about the rest 96 percent. It's just termed Dark Matter, but hopefully with the Higgs Boson we can determine it's nature and prove the laws of String Theory or Parallel Universe, time travel and other things.

What Einstein did to Newton's work was revolutionary and changed the course of Physics. Higgs Boson intends to do the same to Einstein's work.

You guys must be wondering how I know this shit. Well, it's because I studied some of it at college. It's almost everything I know from my studies and some past time Wikipedia-ing. But hopefully with Physics II and Physics III in the coming semesters, I'll be able to understand or at least grasp the Standard Model. 

Ps. Not everything written might be correct. For further study, become a physicist or better read up the whole of Wikipedia.

After clearing UPSEE with a rank of 23000 I had only 2 options. To take admission in IET Bareilly, Stay and 'Survive' in their hostel( The hostels of these government colleges are the worst) Or to stay in my own house and study in JCET. Well JCET has started just 2 years back. The Minister cum chief minister of UP is pouring money in it. Thats it..wanted to show you guys these pics. :)

Aah finally I can see my bed!
Hello! *eyes barely opened *
Sad part of the weak: Nadal's shocking 2nd round defeat at Wimbledon and Germany's defeat at  EURO 12 *heartbreak*

So as I've been tweeting a lot more recently (mostly crap) I thought to put my 2-3 tweets together and write a post, probably what I would have tweeted throughout the day.

Had a long, exciting and an amazing day, The reasons for the joy were simply too many! Well it was Amit's birthday so we met after quite a while, went to RJs house met his mother and had a lunch too! Kheer was just mouth watering..:D, went for a movie(Gangs of Wasseypur) with Amit and Devender and the movie was just great!

A must watch movie for all,  At times during the movie Amit was jumping of his seat during the comedy scenes, Its a kind of a movie we Anthropists would have loved to see together, and the song "Hunter" need to be mentioned specially, it was just hilarious and a complete double meaning..:P

As it was Amit throwing a party at us so it was him who took us to the Theatre.Ohh does this mean that Amit was driving the car?? (wondering right?) Hell yea! What the hell is he doing here when he can easily be an F1 driver? For the first time in my whole life I was forced to put on a seat belt not by words but by some serious driving action. If you think he's short then you wrong! because the gap he maintains between his car and the car in front of him is even shorter!!..:P A great driver though I must admit.

By the end of the day it was time to return home and no Amit this time (Thank god) as I travelled in a metro for the first time since we (Anthropists) went on our last outing and it was good to hear the sound of "Al Abuva ba tuglaq (Doors Closing)" again.

Well finally managed crawling back home from the nearby station but even before I could step inside it was Dad standing outside and ready to go to Mirdif City Centre and for the moment I was like Damn! The next I joined them too!..:D

That's all it was for the day and would like mention that I started writing this post yesterday but I was so tired that I slept mid way through the post when I was somewhere in Amit's driving part and got up in the morning with my mobile under my chest....:P
