Wonderful Day!!

After so many boring days Today is one of re-memorable day. Day when I get rid of mess food. We all friends are all together to have fun around. Today I had great meal. Party includes Paddy, Hemu, D.S., Anita, Shiv & Shikha. It was very long I saw Shikha. After waiting for 8 months we people are together. Girls prepare delicious food & we boys ate that very eagerly. Everybody is being passed through a session of question & answers. Questions are very interesting, while answers are more funny. I always wait for such a day.

Paise Khatm

From last many days i'm under serious financial crash. No money to even go out for good food. Now I'm very fond of Mess food ( Majbooori Bhi koi cheeze hoti hai).
Help me , Help me, Help me, Please Help me...................

Boring winters

Days of exams are over. Result is far better than what I'm hoping. But after that these most waited winters are most boring in my life. Sleeping at very late hrs & waking up to 3pm can very well explain how time is making a roller- coaster. Shiv has his own life with his gf, but I & Chandak dont usually find anything do hav make winters memorable. Many time plans are made of making a tour to Kashmir, but not worked. Hemant is here to have some romantic moment after coming from Hell called IIT Madras.

Day by day cold waves are becoming fierce & days are going more boring. I hope for soon closure of these vacations, Waiting for new year that can bring some light in life. I wish college will remain open through out the year( Very strange wish!!)

India Rocks Internet World

India may have only 1.5 million Netizens, but, if you were at last week's India Internet World, you would have thought differently.

Hosted at New Delhi's Pragati Maidan, there were, according to organizers, over 100 exhibitors, 1,600 delegates, 20,000 business visitors, and 75,000 ordinary visitors at the conference and exhibition, making it the largest international Internet event to date.

The event was set up by Bangalore-based Micromedia on behalf of Penton Media, the Cleveland media company which owns the Internet World trade show line. Micromedia, a subsidiary of Microland -- a major Indian Internet company, organized the first India Internet World in 1998, which was less than half the size of this year's event.

Micromedia's CEO, Prakash Gurbaxani, told asia.internet.com that "the tremendous hype about the Internet" was responsible for the significant turnout at the show.

"People want to know what the hell this animal is," he explained.

Gurbaxani estimates that only 5 percent of the event's general visitors actually have Internet accounts indicating that, with proper infrastructure and connectivity, India could be an Internet powerhouse.

"We just didn't expect this many people," commented Pradeep Kar, the chairman of Microland. "There has been a lot of hype -- media hype -- and everyone has a billion dollar dream."

For the three days of India Internet World, 22-24 September, the show got top billing in the nation's leading newspapers and a large list of government visitors in attendance.

Sources say that even India's top political leadership contenders, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and Congress Pary President Sonia Gandhi, wanted to attend the event at Pragati Maidan but were politely asked not to come because of the security 'nightmare' that they would have created.

This year, there is an Internet World Hong Kong edition in early November and an Internet World Japan edition in early December.

India pitches for Olympic kabbadi

Supporters of kabaddi -- an ancient rural Indian sport -- are trying to spread the game through Asia and hope it will eventually become an Olympic event.
Jandardhan Singh Gehlot, president of the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI), told Reuters: "Until it spreads in Asia, it cannot go beyond. Our heart is there (Olympics)."
Gehlot, speaking by telephone from the northwestern city of Jaipur, added: "China and Japan have started playing and we hope for Korea, too."
Kabaddi is already a medal event in the Asian Games, where India have won three consecutive golds since the sport debuted at Beijing in 1990. In addition to South Asian nations, Thailand and Japan played kabaddi at the last games in Bangkok in 1998.
It will be a demonstration sport at the Afro-Asian Games at New Delhi in 2001.
Kabaddi, a variation of tag, involves two teams of seven in which players take turns to "raid" the opposing team's half of a rectangular pitch.
The "raider" tries to touch as many members of the opposing team as possible while chanting "kabaddi" without taking a breath. Opponents try to block his exit from their half without being touched.
Kabaddi has more than 25,000 club-level players in India, but the sport's supporters say it languishes for want of adequate official patronage despite a vast following across the country and in the subcontinent.
The game, played in various regions of India under names like "chadugudu" and "hututu" and with varying rules, was standardised in 1952 by the Kabaddi Federation of India. The name kabaddi was also adopted.
