Safety Cement

This should be particularly interesting since I know hw many of us study fr the sake of marks nd hw many study "Dil se".

Conventional concrete suffers from a number of problems such as low tensile strength and a tendency to shrink as it sets. It is also brittle, which makes it liable to fail suddenly.

Recently a team from Univ of Florida have discovered a glue that binds concrete mix tightly.

The glue, a form of polyvinyl acetate, ensures that any cracks propagate slowly, making the concrete far more ductile ??? like a metal ??? so that it fails more slowly. That should give more time to take action when a concrete structure starts to crack. The additive also reduces the amount of shrinkage that concrete undergoes when it dries.

Chronicles of End Sem Preparations

A week left since our End Sems begin,
Their scheduled , so jam packed, so as to punish us for all of our sins.

Practical files to be completed, Assignments to be submitted,
As a friend rightly points out, its time to Man up and face the situation and beat it.

I may be perceived as a whining kid not wantin' to study,
A course that thoroughly focuses on rheology of Slurry.

On top of that this oppressive heat,
Dear, Mother Nature Plz a cool breeze, Ah!! it feels so sweet.

And then comes the holidays , the best part of it all.
And the new semester doesn't start till the next fall.

Sweet nib lets!!!!!!! Jst realized this HUGE energy barrier to cross


I dont wanna study!!!!!!!!!I dont wanna study!!!!!!!!!I dont wanna study!!!!!!!!!
I dont wanna study!!!!!!!!!I dont wanna study!!!!!!!!!I dont wanna study!!!!!!!!!


PS: I got so dedicated to procrastinate my preparation for the exams that I decided to write a new blog entry. Koi bhi aur kaam de do wo bhi kar lunga.

Inflation Worries

Pray for it to subsidize

The Born Conspiracy - Has US being deluding the world for oil

I have this weird notion that is going on in present world.. True its very wierd but if even 1 % of it may be true it will show light to a bone chillin' reality !!!!!!...Lets read on :


Petroleum or in common language oil is perhaps the major jewel that is mandatory for the survival of human civilization in the current world. Probably 85 % of the gross energy needs of humans are met by oil. In any present day country its wealth, economy and the condition of its people depends on the amount of oil that it has in its possession.
One question I would like to put forward..”Which country in the world posses the maximum petroleum reserves. Many would say the answer to be some oil rich country from the Gulf. Sorry to disappoint, but the maximum oil deposits is possessed by a “NAÏVE” country by the name of United States of America.
Well this country has till now spent only 1 % of its oil reserves and thrives on the exodus of oil imports from the Gulf countries. Why?
Simple reason ; as with the rate at which the Arab world is exploiting (by mostly exports) its resources are bound to last for another 5-6 decades before permanently desiccating, and only after that the states would start using their own oil reserves.
It may be said that America can do anything for oil; well if so, then what I am about to share may be true.
Just imagine, Al Qaida and any form of Jihadi Terrorism never existed ,US’s CIA never funded Osama to go against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in 1979 ,US never helped Saddam Hussien in the Iraq-Iran conflict of the 1980’s, Israel the asian southpaw of Unites States from the very beginning got contempted with their territory and recognized Palestine as a state (middle east conflict never happened).
Let us consider this kind of a scenario existed in the present time, then inevitably the all the Gulf countries would have splendid economies, would boast of boasts of paradises like Dubai. Then the rich countries like India and China in order to support the mammoth population would require voluminous quantity of oil. Due to the duo being rich (their economy growing at unprecedented rate) they would have the liquidity to buy a large flux of oil from the Gulf nation. Thus both would be benefited bilaterally, the gulf countries’ economy would be boosted and the two power hungry beasts could get their quota of supper. Everybody would be happy ……well exactly no…one won’t be that amused by that our good old buddy USA.
If the above would happen the USA’s share of oil from the gulf would deplete (even though it’s economy would be strong it would not be able to afford the oil as it would’nt increase as that of the Asian mights ) and it would have to start using its own reserves , much sooner than it ever anticipated.
What if US, the smart Alex thought of all this before hand. Would’nt it be better for the US to go ahead and grab hold of these oil producing countries in the name of eliminating terrorism. What if Al Qaida is one of those CIA funded agencies to propagate the drama?..We have seen a number of conspiracy theories including the one about the American agencies responsible for the 9/11 attack. What if Osama is still a CIA agent doing frontline intelligence work for the US government. What if all these conspiracies became too hot to handle for Saddam Hussein and he wanted to back out and in doing so he was subsequently eliminated? How is it that Osama is roaming around Scott free in a region where there are coalition troops every 10 kilometers where as Saddam or any of the top Taliban leaders could not do so?
May be the probability of this kind of conspiracy flushed down the drain by experts is 99.999%. But what if in the near future this 0.001 % probability comes haunting in our face that America all the while has being deluding the entire world.

في بسم الله (In the name of GOD)

Perhaps one of the best movies I have ever seen from all genres. It is true that terrorists are muslims but you can never(and no body has the right to)brand a random muslim as a terrorist. Its high time that this basic point is proved to western masses and what better to do that than by this movie Khuda ke Liye. This movie also overtly describes the severe conservative nature of muslim society and how especially muslim women come under wrath of that and how all that is justified "In the name of GOD" .Hats off to Shoaib Mansoor !!!!! Kudos to Shaan for his brilliant acting.


Easily a movie of a lifetime !!!!!!!!!

Team India

See there is one disadvantage in having a young Indian Team. This pic was taken when a naive fan was taking an autograph from our own Dhoni sahab during the recent felicitation at Feroz shah Kotla after Team India's win in Australia.

Notice Uthappa, Karthik and Yuvi.........

Horse-legged lady

Recently I came across this pic. It looks decent........Does'nt it??

Miley Cyrus - What a teen sensation !!!!!!

Imagine having an annual earning of US$3.5 million. Imagine being the face of teen pop music recognized across the globe. Imagine having a Television show describing your life to the most intricate detail and that too the show being one of the most popular one world wide. Imagine having all these "Khwahishe" while you were still just a petite 15 year old girl.

Bamboozled!!!!!!

Perhaps most of you all might have recognized whom I am talkin' about. Oh! Hell yeah ...I am talking about the 15 year old teen sensation from Tennessee Miley Ray Cyrus.
Daughter of erstwhile pop artist Billy Ray Cyrus, was given this name as she kept on smiling in he childhood (Now isn't that cute!!!!!).

Miley Cyrus/ Hannah Montanna 's first album "Best of Both world" hit bill boards both in UK and US. If that wasn't enough her for a 15 year old girl ,television series Hanna Montanna which describes about her life as an average teenage school girl named Miley Stewart (played by herself) and a famous pop singer named Hannah Montana at night, concealing her real identity from the public, other than her close friends and family is an Emmy award nominated .


I was just reading about this girl when I found out that in one of her concerts at Brigham Young university there were about 58,000 tickets sold in just ten minutes.

I personally think what this girl has achieved what no one else has on this planet fame ,Popularity, Money, Friends, Love ..... What does one require to achieve a feat like her?...That's for us to ponder .....i guess ......May be till eternity...........
