Me And My Electronics

Glad to see something from someone. It kinda wakes me up when I see posts by other members. I have been thinking about writing ever since I wrote my last post, I knew the so called page "Anthropists" exists, But, where there is laziness there is me. It's not that I don't have anyone to blame, I do! It's the weather. I almost my interest in this page until someone insisted me carry on writing stuff.

So, recently people(only one) have been questioning me on my over bragging of phone. Why shouldn't I? It's one of the best smartphone ever! Well, I'm a kind of a person that even if you wake me up in the middle of the night and ask me about my SIII or Vaio or Smart T.V, I'll write a full page essay on them about their pros. I never regret on what I buy, even if my laptop is a crappy piece of plastic, even though it's more of heater than a laptop, but I will never say anything wrong about it. Never!

Even though I speak all good about them, I have a bad history with electronics. I have a bad luck with most of the electronics. 

Back in my school days my biggest priority on my b'days were my school shoes (Nike), But it was this one B'day when I was in 9th, I asked for a watch and my dad brought me a Swiss watch. I loved it so much and that was the first watch I ever cared about (Having broken 2 in the same year). On my next B'day I brought shoes again and just when I was trying my shoes I dropped my watch. The worst thing happened was that the warranty expired the same day. It cost me around 100 bucks to get it repaired. I still love it.

I brought my present laptop in around August 2010. I was a Sony fan back then, So, buying a Sony Vaio was like a dream coming true, I took a great care of it. Exactly after a day the warranty ended, I damaged the screen fighting with brother over a blanket. 

Recently, my SIII (It's an awesome phone :D), nothing happened to it. Last week, when all the sale periods ended, all of a sudden, my Samsung headphones stopped working. Just a week before that I was planning to buy Dre Beats as they were on 75% off. But! this time I got extended warranty on the ones I brought. Now I'm gonna use them the worst way I can for a year and then I'm gonna exchange them for new one's.... :)

Special mentioning: All my school friends might never forget about my Nokia N79, I promoted it more than Nokia did. I got it repaired around 5 times and I still have it.

Btw the new Jelly Bean 4.1.2 on SIII is just awesome! A pic of one of the different gallery modes





Exams finished!..me...

Hello Hi!
YES! I have finally gone through my 1st semester exams..Thank God.
Hmm..stop giving me those odd expressions...i know i have been away for a while but that doesn't mean i have to reintroduce myself?..Oh All right! I am Shariq remember? Thin guy, long hair..and knew nothing about cricket but was still in the cricket team.


My winter exams went okyish.  And guess what...i got to sit on a tractor! And that made me the only person of my family to do so. Though i had to listen alot after coming back home. But it was a great experience!. Thanks goes to the person who gave us a lift back home.

Nothing is quite happening now-a-days. Just passing my time ...watching air force jets flying over my house..wating for my external practicals..etc. And i am also sorry if i didn't respond to any messages or calls as i was really heaped up in exams. x_X

The Party Time

What's up blogons?
Good to see RJ writing again and good to see his mustache back on but it isn't good to see his complicated study related jokes again. :P  Just joking

This December is turning out to be a very exciting and interesting one. Full of parties, cold weather, snow and more importantly lots of food! I love it! Waiting for a party on 22nd December as I see aladeen symptoms of the destruction of earth. Oh C'mon! there's no way that earth can end on 21st given that god have seen UEFA CL's round of 16 draw (Football). It's Manchester United taking on Real Madrid!!! I was dreaming of this match for the last 3 years. Even though I didn't expected them to meet this early in the competition but it's going to be a heck of an entertainment

Meanwhile, got the US visa and I'm waiting quite excitingly for my passport to be returned by the US consulate to book an itinerary to India through States and to go across the border to buy dairy products (no real intentions though), because the cows here in Canada demand a lot in return.

The last couple of weeks have been quite interesting as the Christmas parties are all over. I had been to a couple of such parties and the food was just delicious! got chance to step onto the dance floor last weekend and it was a great experience. I was surrounded by a bunch of drunkards fighting for there request to be played at last, the DJ was forced to shut down at around 1 am with my choice being played at last. Ha!! felt like a boss for while but felt like a chauffeur the very next moment when I realized that I have to drive back home with 6 drunkards in the SUV with everyone expressing there own views on directions. It just took 2 hours but we successfully reached back home.

People have started preparations for the eve of Christmas as some of the houses have been beautifully decorated with lights and Santa's brand new train. I guess he can't afford all that stuff on a sleigh so he bought a train. 
Credits to Deepika and Prinka for this photo and the cash to me. :P
Well, that's how you crack a lame joke.
Yeeehaaa! Snowfall! just to make you fall, your car roll, you have to be staul. Hey ladys! take out your shawl, don't walk! you crawl!! rhyming is what it's call. lol
I can see my future in "RAPPING" (Capitals to make sure you don't misread it).

Everything seem so pretty in snow apart my car, hard to drive it in this weather and I don't wanna take chances. My poor car :(

Btw Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to all of you.






The Poor Post


Hellos and high fives...

Are you a victim of poor jokes? Do you have a friend who can never produce a good sensible joke? Does he/she makes you want to kill them? If so...then come to me...I shall council you for your sense of humor!

Believe me, you need it. There are so many bad jokes that you must have laughed out loud and yet, complained! I mean...c'on! Jokes are rated by the no., duration and intensity of laugh they receive. If a statement manages that, no matter how nonsense, illogical, or unrelated, it is as good a joke as there are. So, next time, only say PJ if you are ordering more than one pizza in India.

Plus not to forget the benefits, the amount of brainwork it needs to produce such jokes is far more than known, it's a good exercise of the brain and it helps a lot in studies too. These illogical and absurd relationships can make us(pj people) remember so much of our academic stuff using this, that without notice, we end up studying less and remembering more.

Even the people responsible for nomenclature of stuff had the same brain, I sometimes feel, because so called people with refined sense of humor, would never have thought that we could have a hammerhead shark or a dog called bulldog. Though, I am still confused as to how the word pussy came to be for cats and then it sort of transferred, anyways...Think of a panel of scientists sitting together and saying, "ok, this sample of urine has more than 2% protein present, what should we call it?" And I believe only a guy with PJ brain could have said,"Proteinuria, may be". Thank god they agreed, otherwise we would have had a name like 'hyperbisaminouretralfluideria'.

I think I have pretty much made my point here and if not, then, read again with a dictionary in hand. This post is dedicated especially to Paji and to people who thought my life is not worth living, I have a blog to write posts for, losers! Ha!

PS : I was first introduced to this PJ phrase when I made my first hotmail ID and this first girl whom I added kept repeating it to me on my first chat and I thought it was some sort of compliment until google took my blush away.

Life of Tri (Third Semester)

Hi blogon,

This is to introduce you to the life of a second year med school student. For those of you wondering about the first year, it is all about learning about the body, it's functions on a macro and micro level and also about some of the diseases associated with them. The second, on the other hand is completely different, it's about the disease causing microbes, the hows n whereabouts of most diseases, the drugs, laws involving doctors and responsibilities of a doctor towards the society. The most interesting part of this year is about meeting real patients and dealing with their diseases as they tell us, after all starting with "hello Mr ill and Mrs sick"to "take these three times a day after food" is the dream we all had before stepping into the college.

It's interesting, fun and hectic at the same time, though I am yet to begin my proper study but I can feel what's ahead of me. On the other hand, the feeling of responsibility, both as seniors and doctors, as our juniors have landed and the need of seriousness towards our education to serve humanity better has taken over, respectively.

Since we have spent a year already, we now know exactly how to go about it so we spare some time for outdoor activities as well. Like I played a soccer game today, basketball the day before and table tennis almost everyday, cricket must wait for now.

Relationships too have changed slightly from the past year, from room sharers to hate sharers, brother to why bother, from good friend to just another friend and special one to The One(the only positive change). I am sorry for not disclosing the names for various reasons but I am sure if they read it, they'll know.

PS : The mustache is back with a white coat this time, what do you think paji?

How boring it could be

First of all I'm really hungry and I miss mom and the Rajmahs she use to make.
So, on the way back from university two of my friends were talking about Rajmahs and that made me really hungry and there's nothing to eat too! :( Seems like I'm gonna finish all the dry fruit tonight.

Life's been quite boring ever since the rest of the family left to Dubai. So all I do is get up, make milk and sit in front of the T.V not actually watching it but doing some other stuff on my laptop and still randomly keep changing channels.

What's been more boring is that I just use 4 utensils everyday, A saucepan to boil milk, A cup to drink it, A spoon to stir Bournvita and a glass to drink water. The change that happen is that they are on one side of the sink  in the morning and are on the other side for the rest of the day (To be washed), until late evenings when I've nothing to do and I somehow force myself to wash them. Wait! I guess I haven't washed them today.

I just have one more work to do apart from making milk and washing utensils and that is writing an English essay, Its the last handout essay of the semester and it has maximum marks too but the biggest problem is that it has to be around 1000 words. Now, who on earth can write 1000 words of educational stuff on a single topic? surely not me! So I've been working really hard to somehow make it look big and interesting by copying stuff from web and leaving the citations on Prinka :D

Now I'll have to wash those utensils before I go to bed so that I can wake up in peace in the morning and enjoy Punjabi cookies. I really love those cookies.

Happy new month to everyone

Tour De Whistler

Had a week to remember. Went to PNE (amusement park) on Tuesday, Had a Halloween party with friends on Wednesday and it was really kewl! apart from the movie thing (no offence), went to Vancouver downtown on Thursday and the weather was good too! Went to the clinic yesterday and that was interesting too! Just went for regular check up but I had to remain hungry for almost 15 hours just because of the silly glucose test and still waiting for the reports, and I guess its Saturday today, went to Whistler and visited many other great places on the way. Here are some of the photos of from this week.

 I  love this picture for it's quality. Downtown Vancouver



A tribute to the first Indians that came to Canada as a coal mine workers almost 100 years ago.  
At the convention center. The guy who took this photo was quite shocked because he took 4 photos just in seconds and he didn't even knew that the photos were actually taken. Poor Iphone guy.

Well  that's Whistler. The place where most of the skiing competitions took place during 2010 winter Olympics, the city is really very beautiful and so were the girls who took this pic. ghaint! :P

Lost Lake: as the name suggests the place was lost too and we too got lost for a bit searching for this place. But the weather and the view was awesome, it was worth losing everything.


Now I realized why most of the professional photographers are from these countries, you just need a camera and a good day and you can keep on clicking the whole day. Nature at its very best!


Meanwhile wake up Anthropists! or I'm dead too!

Tata!

Weekly dose

Well first of all a complaint to Priyanka. Why the hell on earth is the WiFi not working only on my phone??? I feel discriminated... Sue ju! JK, but its not been working for the last 2-3 days

It has been quite a busy weekend this one, had to do a lot of hard work as we were shifting my cousins house in the pouring rain of Surrey with a warning of storm and a possible Tsunami threat, 21 Dec is not far, hmmm! The north western coast of B.C* suffered 3 consecutive earthquakes on Saturday to a magnitude of even up to 7.7, though it scared the shit out of the people I was completely unaware until I read that in a news.

So having received all the cards whether it be the PR(Permanent residence) card or the care card I kinda feel so free to move around because all I care about was the care card and now that I've got it I don't care about anything..:P. I haven't had so many cards in my wallet before.

I just came from a tennis match and I still feel very enthusiastic and full of energy. Though I'm just a beginner but I certainly feel like I played my best tennis ever, it was raining and it was raining winners from my side, we were playing in a deuce court and we just nailed it! Won the five set game 4-1 having lost the opening set and come from 8-4 down in the 5 and last challenged set to win it 11-9. Having been a great fan of Rafael Nadal I finally got the opportunity to celebrate the way he does, lying flat on the ground with a relief and it was raining. It was a great feeling.

Planning to go to Whistler next week, Lets just hope that the weather remain clear and so does our thinking.

*Always stands for "British Columbia"

Like A Boss!

Feeling a lot excited, relieved and tired. Finally got my Canadian driving license too!..:) Though it's a class 7 license which means that I've a few restrictions too, but still I can legally drive anytime on the road unlike before when I was driving on my expired U.A.E license..:P *Ssshhhh*. I just can't wait to go back to Dubai just because I wanted to renew my Dubai's license as soon as I can.

Further talking about the test, It was at one of the most busiest and the most difficult place to drive on in B.C(it only means "British Columbia" here). It was in North Vancouver, the area lying next to mountains, highly populated and congested with very complicated streets.

So I was just driving around Vancouver today in the joy of getting my new license, though I covered almost every single street around the city but I was still just driving around. A cousin of mine who drives his own taxi in Vancouver took me around the city, Believe me he can even fail GPS in the city. So I went to UBC for the first time, Its BIG! It's more like a city, we just went on the outer boundary of it and it was still around 10 km from one end to another, but I still don't understand the Idea of having a Nude beach in a University(Planning to enroll there...:P) and the sunset view from Stanley is just something worth watching.

Meanwhile I just came to know that the SRK starrer movie "Pardes", which was based on an Indian family living in LA was actually mostly shot in Vancouver! and for almost 15 years of my life I've been imagining that as LA and looking for that bridge in the song "Yeh Dil" on the maps of LA! which actually is Alex Fraser bridge, Because it was the first suspension bridge I ever saw. Cheater Cocks!

Ohh and I'm the only guy in the family to have a driving license of 3 different countries now! That feels great!
Now that song got stuck in my head. Aaaaahhhhhhh!
Good night everyone!
Tata!

It's raining bhangra

First of all this album promo has got stuck in my mind and I can't wait to download it..:P, But sadly it's gonna release on November 1st .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHkCLP9X3LQ&feature=g-all-u
I love almost every single track in it but "Chunni", "Truck" and "Ranjha" are just all over my head.

The very moment I wrote the topic it started raining again. Rain here is like guests in India, you can expect it to be unexpected. I feel like heaven when it rains coz I'm a rain lover, but here the rain is different from the way it rains in India or even Dubai(Hardly though). I mean no thunders, no lightning, It's like a song without beat in it. I need bass!!

Also driving becomes a lot difficult here once the clouds start pissing off unlike India where it doesn't matter whether it's raining, fog or whatever it is.

Moving on, these days we(me and my friends at university) are quite busy doing bhangra practices for the event which is on 6th November. It's been more than 3 weeks now since we started but all we have done is 3 minute of it and we still have "only" 7 minute of it left to think about, practice it and perfect it. But to what we have done till now looks muchhhhh more energetic than I ever did before.

And sorry to those who were asking for my recent pics. I haven't captured one yet, will try to hire someone to take a picture or two, next post maybe....

Btw went to this bhangra competition last week and it was worth it! we had to walk 2 km because we took a wrong bus, but somehow we made it before the main performances and the energy in the theater was worth experiencing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvD2aYKZKRw
P.S: Don't expect me in the video and watch the last 2 minutes

Tata!
