Say NO to No!!
Isn't it high time someone got negative about negativity?
Yes it is.
Look around. The world is full of things that, according to nay-sayers, should never have happened.
"Impossible."
"Impracticle."
"No."
And yet "yes."
Yes, continents have been found.
Yes, men have played golf on the moon.
Yes, straw is being turned into biofuel to power cars.
Yes, yes, yes.
What does it take to turn no into yes?
Curiosity. An open mind. A willingness to take risks. And when the problem seems most insoluble, when the challenge is hardest, when everyone else is shaking their heads, to say: Let's Go!
PS: I actually read the above piece in a magazine and felt like posting it :P

Three...
Hello friends...
Well, I'd like to apologize for being so late in "updating" my blog...par kya karein...Control nahi hota :P Actually, I wasn’t able to get enough time to re-collect much material for this update… But then, I realized that it was getting too late…
So, Dear L.G.s and P.R. (Sorry, for I can’t reveal the full forms in public :D), welcome back to the Gandagi….
First of all, the major updates…
Arushi, a major, honorary and unique (being the only person in the sub-com) member has been pushing really hard to get a seat in the Main Ex-Co. She’s been trying really hard to convince each one of the Ex-Co members to become the first “Gandi Bachhi” of our Lame Club. So much so, that soon after the publishing of my last blog, Arushi posted the following commendable piece of scrap to all the Ex-Co members:
Arushi : Hi, I want to get promoted to the ex-co of GPRS2.. why don't u do some propaganda for me?? Or are u guys waiting for me to maaro a properganda??
LOL!!
- Never mind Arushi, even if you don’t get to that position soon, you’re still the top woman in the club. :P :P :P
To spread the word of GPRS2 and to make it a universally acclaimed club, Ranvir and Satya are planning to open a branch of the club in the US from coming July. These people are going to Silicon ‘Waali’..nahi Waaley.. or is it Valley?? I’m trying not to be pervert and so should you.. :P
- So we’re gonna have an American Chapter to the GPRS2 very soon.
Meanwhile, Pulak and I have decided to be as Gande as we have ever been. Recently, we were having a discussion about the grading system in NUS. We knew that below C, you directly get a D+ but not a C-. Also, someone told us that to pass, you need atleast a C (which is actually for the S/U modules, but we were ignorant of this fact at that time). So, we were discussing that if below C is fail, why do they have a certain D+ and another D (considering both depict “failure”) but no C-.
- We could only make out that may be D+ is to tell you ke aap pass ke pass hain… and at the same time, there can’t be a C- coz aap fail ke fail to ho nahi sakte… :P (I know it doesn’t sound too funny right now but we actually laughed - for about 5-10 mins - at the “stupidity” of our thoughts)
Well, this semester was full of “gandi meetings” – thanks to modules like EE2006 and EE2012 – which resulted in the formation of some awesome gande over the semester. Once Shankar, Pulak and I were having a discussion of why so many people are named “Tan” in Singapore. I suggested that coz Sentosa is near by, may be people often go there and get 'Tan'ned. (please don’t kill me!!)
But then somehow the discussion turned to how Singapore’s population is declining and then, came to our ganda mind:
What would happen if you have ‘sex’ on the beach??
Think think…
Sun-tan (Santaan!!) :P :P :P
Well, this joke got really famous until one day it reached Rajoshi’s ears when she asked me, What would have been if the beach was in Indonesia?
Well, she told me the answer………….. Bin-tan!! :P
At the start of this semester, there were several book stalls at the Central Forum and I often used to roam around the bazaar. On one of these days, I came across a book which I (I, being particularly and characteristically Me) decided to buy instantly. The book was titled: 10,001 of the World’s Worst Jokes !!
It is a huge, Encyclopedia-type book (in both height and breadth) with no name of either the author or the compiler. (Not) going through these details, I concluded that this must be some low publicized, unwanted publication. But in a few days, I came to know that another member of GPRS2, Neha, already has that book, which she had been using as an inspiration to hit “gande” jokes for years!!
I’m really Sorry for doing this to all you people but here are some examples of the level of Gandagi in that book:
# What time is it to go to the Dentist?
- Tooth – Hurty (2.30)
# What is common between Alexander the Great and Hermit the Frog??
- The same Middle Name!!
And here are my favourite: the Monstor Jokes!
# What did the baby monster say to his Babysitter?
- I want my Mummy!!
# Why did the sea monster eat more than one ships that were carrying potatoes?
- Coz No one can eat just one potato ships!!
# Why do they have a fence around the Graveyard?
- Everybody is dying to get in!!
# Why didn’t Dracula have many friends?
- He was a pain in the Neck!!
# What did the Vampire say when he was done biting someone?
- It was nice Gnawing you !! :)
What is Dracula’s favourite place in New York?
- The Vampire State Building !!
# What do you call a Lost Monster?
- A Where Wolf!!
Well, by know, you might have had a good (or rather bad) idea of the book. But what can I do. I really am so jobless at times during the semester. Once, during such jobless spans of time, I was browsing through my phone book when I came across a name which made me think of the following question:
Agar Dharti hamari Ma hai to Pita kaun hai??
Well, think of it.. Ma to pata hai, Pita kaun hoga?? Bhupati!! :P
Hehe..Avoiding most (or all?) of Emraan Hashmi’s movies, Mom’s husband should be the father no… :)
This semester, in one of our modules, Pulak and I were writing a report about the Narmada River Valley Project. Everything was working out fine until we came down to choosing an appropriate title for our report. After lot of speculations, we came up with the following title (and actually went ahead submitting the report with it). It was named: Narmada: Damned by Dam :P
Well, after the submission, I was telling Ranvir how we came up with this idea and also went ahead with it. And Ranvir, as always, came up with even a better (or worse?) idea:
Narmada: Shall we give it a Dam?
Hehe..I would just like to say…It was too Ranvir of him!! :P
I guess that’s enough gandagi...I should go take a shower now…:P
Signing out with a promise to post more often and not keeping people waiting (and scrapping me) for more of my Gande Jokes. :)
And by the way, here’s a last one from the book:
Once a guy went to the Doctor and said, “Doctor, I can’t differentiate between colors”
The doctor replied, “Oh! It’s just your Pigments of Imagination!!”
Take Care Guys!!
Cyaz!
