2008 will be just a second longer

Wait a second more before saying "Cheers to 2009!"

On December 31 midnight, you will have an extra second to usher in the New Year, because a “Leap Second” will be added to 2008 to let a lagging Earth catch up to super-accurate clocks.

Leap seconds are added to keep the atomic clocks synchronized with the Earth's rotation. This is because the Earth rotates at a slower pace over time while the atomic clocks do not slow down. Therefore, the leap second adjusts the clocks to ensure that civil time (used by clocks) is as close as possible to mean solar time (the mean sun’s hour angle).

The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service is the organization that monitors the difference in the two timescales and calls for leap seconds to be inserted or removed when necessary.  Since 1972, leap seconds have been added at intervals varying from six months to seven years.

Leap seconds are inserted at the end of June or December as an additional second after 23:59:59 UTC (Universal Time Coordinated). The additional second is the 61st second of the last minute of the month, and it is written as 23:59:60 (or 11:59:60 PM in 12-hour format). This is the 24th leap second to be added since the first leap second was added in 1972. This is also the first leap second in three years. The most recent was inserted on Dec. 31, 2005.

That extra second will make 2008 — already long with an extra day on Feb 29 — the longest year since 1992.

Merry Christmas

The word "Christmas" means "Mass of Christ," later shortened to "Christ-Mass." The even shorter form "Xmas" - first used in Europe in the 1500s - is derived from the Greek alphabet, in which X is the first letter of Christ's name: Xristos, therefore "X-Mass."

Today we know that Christ was not born on the 25th of December. The date was chosen to coincide with the pagan Roman celebrations honouring Saturnus (the harvest god) and Mithras (the ancient god of light), a form of sun worship. These celebrations came on or just after the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, to announce that winter is not forever, that life continues, and an invitation to stay in good spirit.

Christmas is celebrated throughout the Christian population, but is also celebrated by many non-Christians as a secular, cultural festival. The holiday is celebrated around the world.

It is an interesting fact to note that the celebration of Christmas in India is held in a different manner in the various parts of the country. The way Christmas is celebrated in the North East is completely different from the way Christmas is celebrated in the South West.

Midnight mass is a very important service for Christians in India, especially Catholics. The whole family will walk to the mass and this will be followed by a massive feast of different delicacies, (mostly curries) and the giving and receiving of presents. Churches in India are decorated with Poinsettia flowers and candles for the Christmas Eve Midnight Mass service. One of the most famous locations for celebration of Christmas in India is Goa.

Instead of having traditional Christmas Trees, a banana or mango tree is decorated. Sometimes people use mango leaves to decorate their homes.

In Southern India, Christians often put small oil burning clay lamps on the flat roofs of their homes to show their neighbours that Jesus is the light of the world.

In north-west India, the tribal Christians of the Bhil folk, go out night after night for a week at Christmas to sing their own carols the whole night through. They go to surrounding villages singing to people and telling the Christmas story.

May your days be Happy heart be light,
And your Christmas be joy full and bright.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The fallen mango

I think we have developed some kind of habit that wherever we go, we used to get indulge in some situations which not only bring laughs to our faces but to others as well and makes a place in our long lasting memories.

This was an incident when I with my friends Vishwas and Indrajeet returning from the market, we decided to have mango-shake. We stopped at a roadside shop, I was giving the order while they both were standing at a distance. Suddenly they saw a mango on the roadside; may be fallen off from the shop, they decided to pick it up and return it back to the shakewala. Vishwas went to pick it up; he picked it up but again kept it back there and came back and told Indu that “wo keechad mein padha hai, main nahi utha raha, tujhe uthana hai to utha le”. Indu was surprised because it was on the concrete road and there was no keechad at all. Then Indu went to pick it up, he picked it up but he also kept it back there. By the time, mango-shake was ready and I brought it to them. I had no idea about that fallen mango. They told me about that mango. It brought the patent kamini smile on my face. I became excited and suggested to take it to our room and enjoy it there, they both were looking at me and thinking that, “Hum to waapas karne ki soch rahe the aur yeh khud khane ki” A mysterious smile came on to their face. We started to drink our mango-shake, they both were drinking it slowly and I was having it at my normal speed. I finished first; they asked me since you have finished, then go and pick up the mango.

I went there in style, looked here and there and bend myself as if to tie the shoe-lace. They both were smiling and looking each other. I picked up the mango and they both erupted into laughter. Hadd hoti hai katne ki……….it was a Plastic Mango……lolzzzzzzzz.

What more to say, three of us were laughing madly, remembering each other’s expressions and the whole incident. We narrated this event to all of our friends and no one could stop from laughing.

There are few learnings from the incident

1. Sadak par giri huyi vastu nahi uthani chahiye.

2. Aam hamesha khareedkar khana chahiye.

Happy Children's Day

Children’s Day was first celebrated in the year 1954, as decided by the UN General Assembly. The idea of Universal Children's Day was mooted by Mr. V.K. Krishna Menon and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954. Till the 1959 it was universally celebrated in the month of October. But after 1959, 20th November was chosen for the celebration of Children’s Day, as this date marks the anniversary of the day in 1959, when the Declaration of the Rights of the Child was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly adopted. In 1989 the Convention on the Rights of the Child was signed on the same date. The main objective of this day was to promote the welfare of children and communal exchange among them in all over the world. Children's day, in hindi known as "Bal Diwas", in India falls on November 14th every year and for good reason. After the death of Jawaharlal Nehru in 1963, his birthday has been celebrated as children's Day in India. In India this day is not a day to let the future generation have its say. It is a day to remember the great leader Jawaharlal Nehru who was a versatile genius and had the determination to lead India as a world power in the world map.Children's day in India is celebrated on Pandit Nehru's birthday as a day of fun and frolic, a celebration of childhood, children and Nehruji's love for them. As a tribute to this great man and his love for the children, his birthday is celebrated all over India as ‘CHILDREN’S DAY’.

The Bet Part 2

Sometimes don't know what happens to me that I act strangely, I don't know why, but whatever, that's me. So this is the description of one of the incident of my insanity. This time I was trying to have bet with anyone for anything and anywhere. In the morning when me, navankur and mabbo we were heading towards the class I just saw navankur jumping and just trying to grab some leaves of a tree. I immediately said to navankur that if he will grab those leaves (that are out of reach of him) then I will buy him a cold drink. Navankur disagreed then I said ok get those ones that are little down but still he refused and he tried and guess what, he just got them if he would have tried little harder. Anyways at that time my Rs.20 got saved. Then I said to him that ok I will grab those leaves which are higher than I offered to him, he refused so anyhow at that time we didn't have any bet. But you know that insect of bet was still inside me and was encouraging me to do something insane.In the evening we (v5 except nik) went to shipra suncity to have something, since the lunch was really crap.We had chhole bhature and after that we went to juice parlor to have mango shake. Suddenly I saw a very huge glass and instantly an idea struck my mind and I asked navankur if he can drink that glass of mango shake then I will pay for the shake and also pay him RS 50 more,but my heart wasnt big enough so i asked simmy and mabbo if they want to be the part of the bet, mabbo refused but simmy agreed to be my 50% partner in the bet.So finally we had the bet.I was fully assured that navankur not gonna make it after having one plate of chhole bhature it looks impossible to me as the quantity of the glass was 1.2 litre. Navankur started having the shake with help of straw and guess what happened he was
drinking it very easily. Simmy said "sale marwa diya, lagwadi Rs.100 ki chepi".And he was right navankur drank that 1.2 liter of mango shake very easily.I was really amazed at his capacity. I myself cant even imagine of drinking it. But whatever, finally we lost the bet. I did not regret for loosing the bet and guess what I again asked navankur can you have one more glass lagi 100 ki...... lol

Matki fod @ JIITU

Inspired by the Matki Fod event of Mumbai, some people decided to organize an event of Matki Fod during our annual fest “JIVE’ 06”. My batch mates were very eager to participate in this event because other batches were preparing for this event and my batch also does not want to be behind. Actually everyone wants to remove the “Padhaku” tag, which had been labeled onto our batch in the Ist year. The event required a team of 18 members, 15 people to make tower and 3 supporters. They selected me to be at the top (I think u know why), since no one else was ready for that, so finally I agreed. Haan to bol diya but I was really scared.

After the class, everyone was in the ground to make the tower and to practice for the final event. There was a huge discussion and ultimately the design for the tower was decided (8+4+2+1). The selected stronger and healthy ones were at the bottom, while the less strong ones were over them. I was to be at the 4^th level. After completing the two levels, people of the 3^rd level were ready to climb, others were helping them to reach there, but I was just praying ki yeh level na ban paaye……….and I think God was with me that day. As soon as the 3^rd level completed, the first level people got misbalanced and within a second they all were down……Only I knew how happy I was at that time.

But they all got up, tried again, first, second and then 3^rd level was completed now its time for me to climb to the top, they were looking for me but I wasn’t there, I was running for my life. The supporters ran after me and tried to catch me, but till the time they succeeded, the tower was down. This way I saved my life for one more time. But everyone was mad at me, they all were shouting at me. Now one of them holds me so that I couldn’t run away. They again and again tried to make the tower but sometimes they could reach upto the second level and sometimes till the 3^rd level, but mera number aane se pehle hi, they all were on the ground. The rest of the guys were busy in taking snaps, we tried for two hours but were not able to make the complete tower for once. Some of them were upset, some were unhappy, some were wanted to give a try for one more time……..but seriously guys I was the happiest person on that day after all jaan jo bach gayi thi yaar. The “padhaku” tag given to our batch was proved right once again…….but after a while everyone was looking cool and happy….because at least we gave a try. That evening was full of masti n mazaa and full of fun, we really enjoyed each and every moment of that evening.

Happy Diwali दीपावली पावन पर्व की हार्दिक शुभकामनाये

India is a land of Festivals. Many festivals are celebrated here with great pomp and show. Each festival has a religious or mythological significance behind it. Diwali is one of them. It is the festival of lights. It is celebrated for 5ive days. It falls in the month of October or early November.

Diwali in history

The history of Diwali is replete with legends and these legends are moored to the stories of Hindu religious scriptures, mostly the Puranas. Though the central theme of all legends point out to the classic truth of the victory of the good over the evils, the mode of their presentation and the characters differ. Diwali, being the festival of lights, lighting the lamp of knowledge within us means to understand and reflect upon the significant purpose of each of the five days of festivities and to bring those thoughts in to the day to day lives.

The five day of Diwali

The first day of Diwali is called Dhanvantari Triodasi or Dhanwantari Triodasi also called Dhan Theras. The second day of Diwali is called Narak Chaturdasi. It is the fourteenth lunar day (thithi) of the dark forthnight of the month of Kartik and the eve of Diwali. On this day Lord Krishna destroyed the demon Narakasur and made the world free from fear. The third day of Diwali is the actual Diwali. This is the day when worship for Mother Lakshmi is performed. On the fourth day of Diwali, Goverdhan Pooja is performed. The fifth day of the diwali is called Bhratri Dooj. It is a day dedicated to sisters.

Hindu Mythology

The Story of Rama and Sita: Lord Rama was a great warrior King who was exiled by his father Dashratha, the King of Ayodhya, along with his wife Sita and his younger brother Lakshman, on his wife's insistence. Lord Rama returned to his Kingdom Ayodhya after 14 years of exile, in which he put an end to the demon Ravana of Lanka, who was a great Pundit, highly learned but still evil dominated his mind. After this victory of Good over Evil, Rama returned to Ayodhya. In Ayodhya, the people welcomed them by lighting rows of clay lamps. So, it is an occasion in honor of Rama's victory over Ravana; of Truth's victory over Evil.

The Story of King Bali and Vamana Avatar(the Dwarf): The other story concerns King Bali, who was a generous ruler. But he was also very ambitious. Some of the Gods pleaded Vishnu to check King Bali's power. Vishnu came to earth in the form of a Vamana(dwarf) dressed as priest. The dwarf approached King Bali and said "You are the ruler of the three worlds: the Earth, the world above the skies and the underworld. Would you give me the space that I could cover with three strides?" King Bali laughed. Surely a dwarf could not cover much ground, thought the King, who agreed to dwarf's request. At this point, the dwarf changed into Vishnu and his three strides covered the Earth, the Skies and the whole Universe! King Bali was send to the underworld. As part of Diwali celebrations, some Hindus remember King Bali.

The Defeat of Narkasur by Lord Krishna: Lord Vishnu in his 8th incarnation as Krishna destroyed the demon Narkasura, who was causing great unhappiness amongst the people of the world. Narkasura was believed to be a demon of filth, covered in dirt. He used to kidnap beautiful young women and force them to live with him. Eventually, their cries for rescue were heard by Vishnu, who came in the form of Krishna. First, Krishna had to fight with a five-headed monster who guarded the demon's home. Narkasura hoped that his death might bring joy to others. Krishna granted his request and the women were freed. For Hindus, this story is a reminder that good can still come out of evil.

Krishna and The Mountain: In the village of Gokula, many years ago, the people prayed to the God Indra. They believed that Indra sent the rains, which made their crops, grow. But Krishna came along and persuaded the people to worship the mountain Govardhan, because the mountain and the land around it were fertile. This did not please Indra. He sent thunder and torrential rain down on the village. The people cried to Krishna to help. Krishna saved the villagers by lifting the top of the mountain with his finger. The offering of food to God on this day of Diwali is a reminder to Hindus of the importance of food and it is a time for being thankful to God for the bounty of nature.

Sikh Festival Diwali

In Sikh perspective, Diwali is celebrated as the return of the sixth Guru, Guru Hargobind Ji from the captivity of the city, Gwalior. To commemorate his undying love for Sikhism, the towns people lit the way to, Harmandhir Sahib (referred to as the Golden Temple), in his honour.



Jain Festival Diwali

Among the Jain festivals, Diwali is one of the most important one। For on this occasion we celebrate the Nirvana of Lord Mahavira who established the dharma as we follow it. Lord Mahavira was born as Vardhamana on Chaitra Shukla 13th in the Nata clan at Khattiya-kundapura, near Vaishali. He obtained Kevala Gyana on Vishakha Shukla 10 at the Jambhraka village on the banks of Rijukula river at the age of 42.

Chhota Recharge

What a wonderfull add it was ..... Irfan Khan saying "Hutch ka chhota recharge kahin bhi kabhi bhi"

Sometimes this chota recharge matters a lot,in times of crisis try to apply this thing in ur life it's really helpful.....we 5ive applied it in our hostel life.

When we came back from home after the holidays everyone bring some home made eatable items like laddoo mathhii, etc. but these things usually get finished with in a week.Now what to do, when we feel hungry at night? No prob after all we all are engineers so everyone keep few things in reserve, like 2-3 ladoos, a few matthi and acharr, namkeen etc and these are
called chhota recharge of hostel life.

Why we call it chhota recharge?
When people are 5 and laddoo 2, then we can manage with half-half piece.
Same thing applied with mathhhi, evryone gets 1-2 piece of mathi and sometime we have to manage with the crushed pieces which left in the box at bottem :D ..... this is called chhota recharge of hostel life.

When these home made items gets finished till the root, then last option is maggie. If we have 3-4 maggies then no problem but problem arises when we don't have maggie and after serching a lot we get 1 Maggie from someone, but problem hai to solution to hoga hi and solution is sharing aur bus kisi tarah thodi si bhook mita lena and finally recharged for doing masti again...this is called chhota recharge of hostel life.

U all must have heard "Bada hai to behatar hai"
Size does matter but sometime size doesn't matter .. as in hostel....chhota recharge is the real life saver.

जन्मदिन मुबारक हो ...........

आज आई है रात क़यामत की,
जिसका जन्मदिन उसकी शामत की,
ये है हॉस्टल हॉस्टल के कहानी,
बर्थडे बॉय के जुबानी ---

11:30 P.M. day before Bday
डर मेरे मन मैं छा रहा है -
हर दोस्त मैं एक हैवान नजर आ रहा है
हर हैवान अपने मन मैं कुछ पका रहा है
मुझे मारने के लिए अपने शस्त्र सजा रहा है
शस्त्र के साथ साथ IP से अपनी सेना भी बुला रहा है
सेना भी बुला रहा इतनी कि अब बचने न पाऊँगा
सोचता हूँ क्या मैं कल सुबह का सूरज देख पाऊँगा


11:45 P.M. day before Bday
सोचते सोचते हूंकार सुनाई देती है
Wing मे हैवानो की सेना खड़ी लेकिन उन्हें कुछ
Happy bday की जगह के मारो पुकार सुनाई देती है

लेकिन --
उन्हें कुछ समय के लिए रोका जाता है --
Dustbin मे पानी घोला जाता है --

जो पढ़ते नहीं कभी, उनके हाथों मे अखबारों का बण्डल है ,
Dustbin के पानी को कहते, गंगाजल से भरा कमंडल है --

00:00 a.m. B'day Celebration Begins
आखिर वो घड़ी आ गई,
हैवानों के चेहरों पर मुस्कान "बड़ी" आ गई
शोर बढ़ा --
और पाया अपने को हैवानों के बीचों बीच खड़ा |

एक "हैप्पी बर्थडे" wish के साथ
दस लात लगाई जाती है

उस Dustbin के गंगाजल मे,
कई बार डुबकी लगवाई जाती है |

अखबारों के Rollo se -
ऐसी बौछार कराई जाती है,
कि भगवान नहीं
गार्ड और वार्डेन की याद आई जाती है |

इन हूँकारो मे चिंख मेरी दब जाती है,
इन कठोर लम्हों मे सांसे मेरी थम जाती है ..........


ठंडे -ठंडे पानी से नहलाया जाता है,
मार्च के महीने मे मुझे जमाया जाता है |

उस काली पौलिश से मेरा तिलक किया जाता है -
मेरी Shaving Cream , tooth Paste का ,
मुझ पर हे ग़लत Use किया जाता है ..........

भगवान ने जो चीज़ बैठने को बनाई ,
उस पर आज इन हैवानों ने गीले अखबारों से आग लगायी -

मेरा हर पुर्जा-पुर्जा करहा रहा है
इन हैवानों मे किसी दोस्त को बुला रहा है
परन्तु,
मेरी सबसे अच्छा दोस्त भी
मेरी तसरीफ पर चटाके उड़ा रहा है --

12 :30 a.m. Birthday
भगवान ने देर से ही सही, पर मेरी सुन ली
अचानक से लात घूसों के बारिश थम ली
तसरीफ को अब जाके कुछ रहत मिली थी
मेरे चेहरे पर अब भी डर की लकीरे पड़ी थी --

अब जाके मुझे "B'day Wishes" मिल रहे थे,
दोस्त थे मेरे, पर कोई गले नहीं मिल रहे थे,
मैं भीगा - गंदगी मे लथपथ खड़ा था
महक रहा ऐसा जैसे सड़ा अंडा पड़ा था |


12 :45 a.m. Birthday
आज दोस्ती का अच्छा सीला मिला था --
१५ मिनट मे नहाने भर का मौका मिला था


01:00 a.m. Birthday
सोचा था नहा कर आऊंगा तो-
सभी जा चुके होंगे -
अपनी जीत के खुशिया मना चुके होंगे-


ये क्या ?????????
ये हैवान मेरे ही रूम मे पड़े थे

ये हैवान भी मुझे अब दोस्त से लग रहे थे
क्यूंकि--
वही हैवान हाथ मे केक लिए खड़े थे |

केक काटा -
खाया-
खिलाया -
उससे ज्यादा केक मेरे मुंह पर लगाया -
मुझे कोल्ड ड्रिंक से भी नहलाया -

हैवानियत के अवतार इस दोस्त मे
उसका प्यार नजर आया --
उसके मीठे केक ने सारा दर्द भगाया -
उस मर मे भी उनका प्यार नजर आया -
ऐसे दोस्तों के साथ -
हॉस्टल मे अपना जन्मदिन मनाया ||

प्यार ऐसा कि कभी नहीं भूल पाऊँगा
इतनी मर के बाद भी लगता है
कि
अपना जन्मदिन
हर बार
इन हैवानों के बीच ही मनाऊँगा.....................
इन हैवानों के बीच ही मनाऊँगा.....................


...................... धन्यवाद दोस्तों .......................

आपका अपना ,
नवांकुर गुप्ता
