March 25 marks the last time I posted anything. Somewhere between deciding that I don't wanna take the communications path anymore, being sucked in by the in intrigue of wearing a suit to class and BU's gorgeous School of Management, and my extreme laziness, I stopped writing.
BU's School of Management.
I wrote the last post, about the grittiness of hockey, two and a half months ago. That's a considerable chunk of time right there. Two and a half months can cover an entire summer. It's enough time to make several grand, or phase a trimester during pregnancy, or turn a puppy into a dog. But nothing that takes two and a half months is exciting, raw, physical, or intense as the Stanley Cup playoffs. And after last night's pure domination by the American based Bruins over the Canadian based Canucks, I just had to write something. I just have so many emotions!!!!
Vancouver's team is stacked like pancakes. So much talent not even a Space Bag could compress and contain it all. The Canucks boast Sweden's two best players, the identical Sedin twins (who happen to look identical to aliens as well,) America's best skater in Ryan Kesler, and Canada's best goalie (at least during the regular season anyway,) Roberto Luongo. Skillz that killz spilling all over the place with these guys. But unfortunately for them, the Stanley Cup is 10% luck, 20% skill, 99% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% Canucks in ruins, 100% reason to remember the Bruins. Because so far, even though the series is tied 2-2 and Vancouver still owns home ice advantage in this now best of 3 games series, the B's are the better team, and their concentrated power of will is willing away the Canucks.
The martian twins and RoCHOKEo Luongo arrived in Boston sitting on a lofty 2-0 lead. But game one was won with 18 seconds left, game two on a fluke play in OT. In terms of level of hockey play, this series was tied 1 a piece; the B's matched every step the Canucks took. Then the series arrived in the USA and the Canucks suffered a serious beating. 8-1 in game 3, 4-0 in game 4. Chara and the D shutting down Vancouver's potent power play, Thomas and his pads lights out. On the other end, polar opposite Roberto Luongo getting pulled. After these last few games, I am supremely confident in the Bruins. No visible weaknesses–the offense is stepping up, role players are pulling more than their own weight, and Thomas is nothing short of spectacular. No questions lingering. Wait no that's a lie. I do have one question. After all the raping the Bruins have dished out to punk bitch Alexandre Burrows, I'm left wondering what's bigger: the diameter of Burrow's asshole, or the diameter of each of the five gaping holes in Lu's goalie play?
It's really a toss up at this point. But one thing's for sure: both diameter's are massive, and Burrows deserves it. In fact, the entire Canucks team deserves to continue to be trainwrecked at the hands of the Bruins. The squad of dirty players just keeps pulling acts of egregious scumbaggery. The biting and not receiving a suspension was one thing. Just a little bloody finger. Whatever. Scumbag move, but nothing serious. Then came the open ice hit on Nathan Horton. Dirty Dirty hit. I could have microwaved a bag of popcorn in the time between Horton releasing the puck and Aaron Rome delivering a cheapshot. And then last night, as if he didn't learn his lesson, Alexandre (who spells Alexander the wrong way,) Burrows whacks Tim Thomas' stick. Good thing Thomas showed that bitch who's boss. Because in the physical department, the Canucks can't go head to head with the Bruins. They're trying to beat Boston with Boston's game. And I hope they keep trying.
Oh by the way the Sox have won 5 straight and are 5-0 in Yankee Stadium this year. And lead the AL East and have the third best record in the bigs at 35-26 after that miserable 2-10 start (that's 33-16 since, for those of you that can't subtract.) I guess that's pretty cool too.

Warning: I may rape your conscience so walk in with caution!
Yes guys I'm fuming...cos I cant stand this kinda pure gunk and in Blogville too!
This is a home for my heart...a distant refuge for my spirit, away from the madding crowd and the masquerades that we live. This is where everything is unveiled and nothing is compromised.
Warning: I may rape your conscience so walk in with caution!
Posted by Keshi at 2:59 pm
Ouch...someone's really fuming mad. I can even see the smoke coming out of your ears. Ok now take a deep breath. Slowly count 1 - 10.
Now listen your fuming and fretting will only give these pl more pleasure because that's what they want - they want to get under your skin. Don't give hem so much importance. I know i's a tough act to do. Just ignore these idiots and they'l all fade out into nothingness
why don't you have a cat fight?
SMM tnxx!
Nah Im not gonna sit back and act like Im not angry, cos I am angry. And neither r these ppl gonna escape my scorn.
When I trust a person, when I give them my time and friendship, I dun expect behind the scenes granma chats abt me. Very 'Desi' u know. Im not gonna stand that. I will openly say wut I hv to say.
Those who recognise themselves in this post will be GUILTY as hell. And Im gonna sit here laffing!
ah finally!!!!
now d post...
i mean y do u even care..even if ppl r tryin to spread rumors ur frenz kno u r not like dat...
frankly sayin i think ppl r jus plain jealous of d beautiful u!!!
Stygian thats wut Im having now..
bring in on girls Im ready, r u?
:) they only know to gossip BEHIND my back. but can never say anything to my face hahaha!
hey Gurl!!
Now, now..blow off that steam and just calm down...
I totally understand what your talking about... and as you rightly said they are all just JEALOUS.. infact i say this of anyone who has issues with me being ME....
the only thing i've learnt is THEY ARE NOT WORTH OUR TIME OR ENERGY....!!!
"Worse, there are some men like these women too urrrrrrrg! "
heheheheheh hahahahhahahaha
I like "bitching girls" too and I had a wonderful habit of bitching with them...heheheh..it is so wonderful gossiping :P
Love ya...don't get ngry on silly mad girl..come online..let's bitch abt them ..u will feel a lot comfortable :P
**hugzzz** kool down muaaaaah :*
not verbal fights da. in a proper mud pit, with scratchin and slapping, wattasight it wil be :)
You are really fumed. I know it hurts when one is being nagged for doing nothing, one's reputation being smeared with dirts . In office I take that as a part of the game and intentionally or unintentionally I get dragged into gossip mongers league.
I DO care Mayz...cos Im not talking abt ppl I met yday or just once or twice. these r ppl who BEGGED me to be in their blogs when they had no one before. Now they hv found new ppl...new friends from their countries or race or clan or wuteva, and trying to throw shit on my face. Im not gonna let that happen to me.
U hv to be in my shoes to u'stand that.
yes they r super jealous or why wud they just suddenly drop out from my blog and ignore me totally? they hv forgotten their old friends...when they had no one. Stupid morons.
Keshi if its a no-holds barred catfight...then bring ont he rest of troops. Been ages since I was in one :P
And name these bloggers. if they can name you and speak shit about you, then name them here. Don't give them the chance of hiding in anonymity
ty Aaarti HUGS!
**the only thing i've learnt is THEY ARE NOT WORTH OUR TIME OR ENERGY
I agree. But u know how they talked abt me behind my back...well now in this post, Im talking abt them IN THE OPEN. :) they can come and read this and die!
ty Bro HUGS! :)
**come online..let's bitch abt them
thats what Im doing now. Im bitching abt them in the OPEN, so they can get a taste of their own meds!
Stygian I wont be in the mud for too long..cos I'd hv punched them to unconsciousness and be in prison immediately.
Restless tnxx!
I dun gossip...thats why I cant stand it when ppl gossip abt me. BITCHES!
SMM lol luv ya gal!
**And name these bloggers
Thats a NEAT idea. wut d u think, I should do that ha? Remove their masks in public! wow sounds inviting.
Worse, one of these Bitches left an 'anonymous' comment in a friend's blog, calling me bad names and in a very angry manner. Now it's proved that it was her! And then she came here pretending she likes me etc etc. WUT A LOSER GAL. delusional ppl!
uff...what's this..everyone tryin to calm u down....go gal..kick some butts!!
..so when u r done kickin..we wl form our own bitch group! :D
Where is that beeyotch?
Let me at 'em!
smm is right, unless you can deliver a knockout punch at the getgo you're better off to just ignore them...
then I'll sneak up from behind and yell the magic phrase into her ear..
"I know you are but what am I?
Do it...name them. Put them in public. If they have insulted you by taking your name in their blogs then now your turn to give them a taste of their own medicine. What kind of a catfight would it be if we didn't know whom we were fighting :P
Prakhar I just formed my own Bitch group here..join in! :)
if ppl can bitch abt me on Messenger, behind my ass, I should be able to do that in the the OPEN right? cos ya know, Im a very OPEN person lol! So they invited this, and soon I will be naming them!
lol Donn nah no one escapes my SCORN..u should know that by now :)
SMM they didnt say it in the open...but they talked abt me behind my back and now decided not to visit me too. Just like that. I hv special powers..I just go to know :)
Oh GAWD! Who now?
We can come out with a soap with all the drama that goes on in blogosphere! And it need not even be telecast in the afternoon. It will be a hit even during prime time.
Sol it wud be v easy for u to find me the actors for it!
hmmm i guess datz not only here but how d world runs everywhr...this is slowly turnin out to b like my office...hehe!!!!
anyway its good in a way that they r not around anymore...coz d longer they wud have stayed d more it wud have hurt...
u jus tk cr...luv ya...hugzzz :)
yes Mayz...Blogville is becoming as BAD as the real world is. And it only proves that the virtual world is no different to the real world. cos both r made of same ppl.
btw ppl like this make me wanna stop blogging..cos I dun wanna handle 2 worlds full of shit. 1 is enough!
Keshi - smile plz...
Hobo Im smiling. :)
don't loose your hair on those losers! jealousy and baldness have no cure!!
weekend is almost here. relax and enjoy the beautiful spring that's almost here!!
don't loose patience and some part of life just for some people who are pure "junk"!!
ty Deepz!
I'd hv preferred if u said
'Fuck those bitches Keshi'
LOL! cos Im going to. Im gonna rip them apart. U hv no idea how angry I can get when someone takes me for a ride. They wont escape me.
Well I see womean around me bitching about something or expressy jealousy of some other female.I wonder is Jealousy part of female DNA?
It is so obvious.
You carry on BJ, dont worry about slander that people are spreading about you.
bad case of cyber bullying yes?
another blogger was talking about it not long ago....
ty Tarun!
**I wonder is Jealousy part of female DNA?
I think so! hence the PINK beanie on that skull. lol!
LaVida tnxx!
** cyber bullying
yes thats what it is. When some ppl form a group based on their ethnicity or interests and try to bully others, thinking they r superior, its really serious. Cos these groups need to realise how that may affect others and they need to cut the crap before they get slapped from me.
I was a bit of tubelight on that Pink Beanie, but got it just in time.
So even in the anger u havent lost that Humour of yours.
Thumbs up for that.
nah I will never lose my humor Tarun...even tho some bitches try to out a stop to it. lol!
**try to PUT a stop to it
just leave in na
delete their comments....
chill...we are all here keshi,don't worry ;)
JAADU KI JHAAPI doon kya!..
There r no comments to delete Vish. These ppl r talking abt me BEHIND my back and hv stopped coming here. Only God knows why!
Hi Keshi
Oh - the world is full of such people. They don't dare say anything right in front of you but feel it is their godgiven right to gossip behind one's back.
Best thing is to ignore them - you react and they go around hurting you even more just cos they know they get a reaction !!
aww ty DreamCatcher HUGS!
ty Gauri!
**They don't dare say anything right in front of you but feel it is their godgiven right to gossip behind one's back.
but nah Im not gonna IGNORE. They r gonna GET it from me. They need to stop this shitty groupism and fucked-up gossip.
Oh dear, you really are angry.
there alwiz willbe pple who are on different wavelengths. just tweak ur antennae and make sure u're connecting only with those of the same frequency as you.
Saffy ty!
**there alwiz willbe pple who are on different wavelengths
its not abt different wavelengths, I hv no probs with that.
Its when ppl act as if they r so cool with me and then talk shit abt me behind my back.
m getting restlesss...
name :P
*restless in anticipation*
Bro gimme 1 day...and I'll name them!
They deserve the OPEN ABUSE.
talking shit abt u...
talking is actually done by mouth..so are the shitting from the mouth :O
wierd peoples :P
open abuse :O
are they lovely...
u kno na i don abuse ugly gals..
it's like getting caught while stealing a sugar cube :P
Bro wut if a group of friends in Blogville get together on the basis of their nationality or race or clan (eg: Gujjus or Punjus) and mudsling another, just to feel superior? wut if they ridicule another or talk shit abt them just cos they think they hv the right?
Open Abuse cos apparently they do it behind closed doors.
And thats classless right?
Fuck those bitches Keshi!!! there you go!! now drop it!! too much of anger is not good!! and its not worth it!!
haha ty Deepz!
but NO Im not gonna just DROP it like that...not until they come face to face with me and admit their shit.
They messed with the wrong person this time.
making clans :O
blogville dividing into castes...
soon we have to give quota to minorities here too...blogger..come see..blogville needs quota too :P
u know wut Deepz Im not scared of any ethnicity or any bloody group...Im human and so r they. If ppl try to discriminate others just cos they belong to one group, well they will get a taste of my venom.
I see these silly groups formed to protect one another and its really shameful that some so-called educated and sensible ppl r DRIVEN by these groups!
This post is not only abt me...its also abt putting a stop to dumb groups like that.
but it's so funny na :P
u r popular..no one bitches abt me anymore :( :(
i want to get popular tooo :(
buhoooooooo :'(
"If ppl try to discriminate others just cos they belong to one group, well they will get a taste of my venom."
Venomous sissy :P
i fink i need a superpower jus like that..wat like kicking ass bro :P
we will dangerous bro sis :P
Bro hvnt u seen CLANS in blogville? I hv seen, sensed and heard them bitching heavily too.
**soon we have to give quota to minorities here too
there's no MINORITY in Blogville. The only 'minority' in blogville wud be ppl as SMALL minded as them!
Its not even popularity Bro..its sheer ignorance in these ppl. They cant THINK beyond their 4 walls. Thats why. And sadly some of these ppl hv made Western countries their homes but acting like typical tribes.
U know apparently these ppl laff at our Brother-Sister r'ship too. Just cos they dun u'stand the concept. lol!
laffing abt our relation...
ohhh these people are incestous from hair to toe..so nuffin unusual...
stupid bitches :D
they r laffing cos they cant hv such a r'ship with anyone. They hv frozen brains.
Today Im in VENOM mode and they r not gonna be spared lol!
behaving as tribes....
I fink mayans predicted well...that world is gonna end soon...people are going backward .....
frozen brain and venomous u...its like the holy jihad in blogville :P
oh yeah babes....i have noticed this too, just ignore em...n dont waste yur time on em....
calm down baby...hugs
yes bro..these ppl claim they live in the US, AUS etc etc but they hv a TRIBAL attitude. The CLAN attitude I mean. I hate that...even in Aus some groups form like that and try to throw ard their weight..I wonder why they come to these countries in the first place. They should remain in a rural village with their CLAN attitude.
Im not gonna go to the blogs that treat such bitches as God.
haha @Jihad!
Only this not a holy war..this is a UNHOLY war.
Mia hv u noticed that too? Good. Cos I sensed it ard and I thought it's high time they get the msg...that they look like a stupid tribe!
I m dying to hear the names...can't u mail me the blogs and links...please
please..think abt... it is so much suffering for me bitching abt unknowns :P
look mia too noticed..m i the only one left out :(
Bro I'll email ya. :)
Mia noticed it cos she's a girl too. Girls sense the Bitchy vibes easily than boys do hehe.
Worse, this woman tries to change everyone's heads and also went and left an ANONYMOUS comment in another friend's blog, mudslinging me...calling me names etc etc. And then she comes here smiling at me like nothing happened. Now how retarded is that!!!!
Im not an angel when it comes to devils like that..I rip them apart.
I gtg now bro..will talk to u soon. TC n tnxx!
m getting the vibes too.... :P
now mail me and confirm me :P
shleep well sissy

Babe I replied to your previous post a Sourish blog..check it out wouldja ?
hey it is unbelievable for me that such kind of things happen in blogville...may be because it has never happened with me...but whatever it is, it is really SAD to know all that....
i knw it hurts but then not everything in this world is fair...just learn from the experience and move on...
ur friends are very much with u...
Hey Maa'm.... well.. I dunno about the groups..but yes I would say that some of your comments here sure made me sad... u know what i am talking about...
take care anyways..
i am sure they will get the message! calm down.
cat fight cat fight...but we want to see the other cats too :P
i know how angry and hurt you must be feeling, and you are right to vent it out...
but mor than this, some peopel are just not worth your time or energy. don't let a few people spoil your day...
take care, :)
Thats what I call 'in your face'. You gave it to them real good, they are just losers in life afterall... Hope those pests get the message and that these dirty things come to an end now. There are enough worries on the plate and we could really do without such nuisance.
Hope you feel a lil better now da.. relax, remember what I wrote to ya... smile and enjoy your evening and get some good sleep... take care Keshi...
p.s. Did I ever got around to tell you that you really pack a classy attitude? admirable indeed :)
p.s p.s. in case they dont stop and you wanna go after them, just give a shout :)
If she left a bad comment about you on my blog and I found you all praise for her in your blog, I would ignore her if not hate her... and love your naiveness.
So just keep up your good writing.
Where is your next post?
keshi dear, people like that are not worth of your attention, they just dont deserve it and if you feel/think/know they are bitching about you, thats not your problem, thats their. Because seems they dont have anything better to do than this.
You take care, girl!
And keep smiling!
ya gal name them ...that will be fun :D...ATTACK!!!!!!!
let them be...why waste ur energies on such useless people!
LOL...Keshi :)))
I guess I said soemthing few days back na ..:))
haters are to hate... but u need to concentrate on people who like you :DDD
dont worry jee... we are thr :))
SIS!!! I am glad that you are able to really let the out! It is not good to keep everything in.
I have had many mails from gals in blogville, I just opted to show one of them.. I know about people not wanting you around and all that Jazz. I know one thing I am NOT going anywhere... I don't care if I am American and I don't need to visit peoples blogs that are NOT american.. Yeah That is what The email says..
People are miserable and you know what they say.. Misery Loves Company. They can go and get their new friends, and they can also form their lil Bitch Crew, they don't make me no never mind.
Did they change anything by telling me that I am Not Indian, and to leave Indian men alone, I show up at everyone's blog, and I don't fit in because I don't know that language or the culture??? NOPE!! I am here and I am not going anywhere.. I say Piss on them!
The ones that emailed me just so happened to not have a valid email..hmmmmmmmmm If they are strong enough to write a email they should stand behind it.. and are right, we don't need them around us.
They are trying to replace us?
NOT KNOWING that we are Irreplaceable.. Dump Azz, skanky Azz Biotchesssssssssssss... We don't need them and yet the world seems to keep on turning, With or without them!
Keshi! Eff them! You are a beautiful gal! we all love you and we all want you here.. Here at Viva forever we have our on CREW and they better watch out because we are very Gangsta if we need be!!!
Love ya sis and ummmmm shake them hater's off!

i love a good fight!!!
My wife keeps cautioning me against getting into one.
It's been awhile since i was in a proper brawl.... let's clean up this shit online and keep it free from vermin!!
NAME THEM KESHI... methinks...it's time to take off the gloves
hey kesh , only nw did i reAd ll de comments... bitch groupism O:..srsly neva noticed, guess i hvn been long enuf here to notice dat..or does dis make me less of a gal.lol! hey, won u mail me de links to..wonder wh des ppl r! not dat i really care. guess dey need a gud punch n de faces
If it were my sons, I would have said....go take a long walk and egt back when you are clmer...
U achieve nothing out of anger, sweets...you will just accumulate stress and thats not going to help.
Its easy to say, I know...but just let go...ignore and don't look back.
It'll get better...
Jealousy can be a killer and nothing is worth killing your peace of mind over such people
i so agree with u girl..
some ppl just dont get it..
they think that they are queen and everyone revolves around them.. and its like everybody loves raymond times.. but guess what.. some of us are actually better .. and also better off than them.. and they dont like to be upstage.. which is the problem.. u dont do it purposefully.. and they cant take it or deal with it in a civil manner..
and u should let the ppl know.. that ur patient enough to an extent wrt their behaviour.. or else they will just run over u..
Just incase you dint understand that-thats Sid emoting a sad expression on "credible" alligations by a certain (and once upon a time "sweet")Keshi;-)
....Credible cos-half of it is true and alligation cos the intention isnt at all to miss this great space.....a week back I thought of asking if you could send me your new pieces as n when by email..but then thot against it..since m sure one less brain-dead reader amid a 1000 insiteful ones is hardly a drop!
Chill Keshi...
Divert your all energy into somegreat post...
we all are here for that only..
why to waste your energy on such silly stuffs...anyways, in a way its good that you it all out..!!
now you can be more productive..
Cheer up..!!
People who are shitty people are going to be that way in real life and on blogs too. It may take a little longer for them to show everyone how much they suck on the blog, but eventually they will.
Thank God, not many ppl know me out here nor many ppl know me...
m sure they hv a lot to be jealous abt. and as u said, no guts to be candid. bring out those claws, gurl... and i'm right here with u!
hmmmm..i dont know exactly wat happen keshi..but i had these experiences very much...there r more bac stabbers then anyone else in this world...bee cool...i am not one of them..hope u have atleast faith in me...:)..
P.S:not in a good mood will comment my exact feeling soon..
These words are not going to be exist, those are people come and go, can't be stable as it they are not true friends. jelouse is not a way of expressing anger, it should be an inspire to bring out what is enough within and good things learing from others is not let anyone down, it only raises.
leave them, have a nice time. hugs
Sweetie take a breather!
I know this is sick but you should not give such people even an iota of attention.Just ignore and keep doing your thing dear.Take care.Hugssssssssss
***gossip like wicked old aunties with lose teeth on Messenger
LOL, that was funny
Those who talk will talk. 'N those who talk behind our back will talk too.
It is their character and it's not possible to change that. it's our attitude towards them that matters.
***All I can say is that these people live miserable lives and are jealous of me. So they wait for the slightest chance to give me a bad name, just cos they hate my personality that they can never have.
I read somewhere recently that people who are insecure engage in this kinda things to fill their empty voids or insecurities. In other words, i think they belong to the land of 'Pathetica' where they need to feed on another's meat viciously just so they can fool/stage themselves to a higher pedigree that makes them feel much better about themselves. How wrong of them...
i am seriol pissed off after reading all that..:(
I mean,,i dont nderstand wts happening out here...ever since i came back to blogging, i find this stupid bitching business going n almost everywhere..Y DON'T PPL MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS...
Y spoiling this sacred space out here wih dirty mind games.
ANd for u sweety, dont be bothered abt wt ppl say or do...U're known better for ur goodnes and that friendly attitude and that will prevail through the blogvillie.
those people should be boycotted by all of us here...U should name them all right here...
Easy hun! there r these kinda ppl everywhere n the best thing to do is to ignore them. We cant stoop as low as them to go down to their level. The gud thing is tht they dont visit ur blog anymore....coz its better to hav a handful of genuine visitors than to hav a 100 fake bloggers visiting ur blog. :) So feel happy tht u dont hav those fake ppl hanging around here. And abt the shit tht they spread, i guess they cant help it. its in their blood i suppose!
Cool it..what happnd?
Yep jeaslousy is the right word Keshi and there is no cure....don't waste them on them but glad you vent it out Sweetie.
cool down missy...
why should what others say about ya even bother ya???
yu knwo what you are...and tht shdnt change no matter what they portray you as...
but still, this post was a nice way of saying back off...:)
oooh. ur so brave (is tht the right word lmao probs not) 2 jus say exactllllllllly what u feel at the time of writing! and u shud b mad cuz u put alot of effort in2 bloggin so y shud unappreciative ppl jus say what they like about u bhind ur back. *cuddles*
I've been soooo out of touch from Blogville lately...
Who are these people? Hint please :P
Hi Keshi
Slow down, take a deep breath, relax, listen to some music, etc…
There are people who stick there snotty noses into other people's business. I like to think of them as 1st degree shit disturbers.
This is why I called Blogville 'human excrement' in one of my comments. I'm not saying everyone's writing in Blogville is running diarrhea, but there is a percentage of human waste entering the drinking water.
Have great weekend.
Do not tresspass, cos there's a better Bitch on this side, a classy one..and no SHE doesn't talk behind your back...instead she will bite you on the face. Just Fuck Off, and next time please mind your own fucking dirty granma business!
woohoo!! loved it :D
great going keshi!:)
Hmm..u do sound frustrated. R u sure that the people talking behind ur back, being jealous, gossipin etc etc is actually happening and not just a piece of ur imagination?
If ur sure..u should probably confront them.
Oops! What happened to ya?? :O
All angry and fuming?? :O
Breathe.. and let them go.. sometimes toxins are required to remind you on the true friends that you have in blogville..
Chin up girl :)
WELL THOSE PEOPLE ARE MEAN AND I AM NOT! I LOVE YOU WOULD NEVER DO THAT! IF, I was going to tell people about you it would only be nice things:) not back blogging yet just had to come check in wth you!
wow Kesh - ur really mad. It's probably the first time I have seen u so angry as well...what's happened??
You know I keep mtelling u to ignore these people but I also know that there is a point where u cannot just stand back any longer...
pleaSE DONT LEAVE US I WILL CRY :(
hey Bro I didnt hv any time to email u yday..was too busy. Will do today.
Anyways stay tuned for my comments here and u'll know who Im talking abt.
Sure Cindy, tnxx MWAH!

Im alone in my battles...but some ppl have formed GROUPS to back them up. It shows that they hv no PERSONALITY to hold on to...so they hold on to the one thing can hold on to..and thats their NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY wutever!
Mebbe they r trying to breathe fire on me, instead they become my ASH.

**The ones that emailed me just so happened to not have a valid email..hmmmmmmmmm If they are strong enough to write a email they should stand behind it.. and are right, we don't need them around us.

**They are trying to replace us?
NOT KNOWING that we are Irreplaceable.. Dump Azz, skanky Azz Biotchesssssssssssss... We don't need them and yet the world seems to keep on turning, With or without them!

These ppl hv formed their own pathetic Ku Klux Klan LOL!
Southy it isnt abt MANY ppl knowing u or not..its abt FEW ppl trying to discriminate u based on VOID criteria.

Wut I cant STAND is when ppl form silly groups and try to bitch abt others, just cos they r intellectually impaired.
Hemanth tnxx mate!
ur nowhere close to these fuckers. chill.
ty Jeevan!
** jelouse is not a way of expressing anger, it should be an inspire to bring out what is enough within and good things learing from others is not let anyone down, it only raises
Spot on!
And these dumbos dunno HOW to do that. Instead they BITCH.
ty Sameera!
true they dun deserve my time but I will say wut I hv to say before I call it quits with them.

**It is their character and it's not possible to change that
Spot on! Its a trait in them that cant be changed. Sadly.
hey Amy tnxx hun HUGS!
**I read somewhere recently that people who are insecure engage in this kinda things to fill their empty voids or insecurities
INSECURE is the word! Ur spot on.
hahaha @Pathetica! so so true!
Worse Amy, these ppl drag my business into their chats, and stop coming here...cos they r in some ethnic group, protecting one another lol!
ty Akanksha!
yes..Blogville has not become Bitchville. thanks to some dumb bitches!
Exactly my point!
Scenario: tiff takes place between me and a friend here. Another friend pokes her nose into our business. She then decides that Im awful. Rem she has NOTHING to do with this tiff, yet she pokes her nose into this. And then she decides not to visit me. WHY? The only reason I can think of is that this THIRD person is a jealous bimbo!
And Akanksha ur right...such ppl should be boycotted.
I hv decided that Im not going to visit the blogs that entertain such GROUPISM and those bitches.
ty Ria!
** We cant stoop as low as them to go down to their level
yes, thats why I said it in the OPEN. whereas they say it BEHIND my back.
90% of my readers here r GENUINE..I know that. So I dun care wut the remaning 10% of racists that hide behind masks think abt me. But Im not gonna let them get away with it...they shall be SHAMED in public.
Mez tnxx hun!
Wut happened:
I had a fall out with a friend recently. It was only between me and her. Then there's this 3r person who pokes her nose into this business, as if it's her problem. Then she bitches abt me behind my back with my friend, screws her head against me, stops visiting my blog altogether, sits quietly like she's an angel. Rem this third person had nothing to with the fall out with my other friend. Then WHY THE FUCK IS SHE GETTING INVOLVED HERE? u tell me.
ty Shionge!
ty Devil!
**why should what others say about ya even bother ya???
no, its not even what they say abt me. I dun care, cos wut they say doesnt make me that. Wut bothers me is why some other ppl poke their noses into wuts happening between me and another friend? these ppl screw up ppl's heads, and then wanders ard like angel. They should be stripped in the open!
ty Niyara HUGS! :)
I dun care if they appreciate me or not, but NO I cant stand it when ppl try to discriminate others based on ethnicity and that kinda crap. GROUPISM is not welcome in my world.
CG its ok hun. MWAH!
wud love to spell out the names but I'd refrain from that :)
ty Bev dahlin!
**This is why I called Blogville 'human excrement' in one of my comments. I'm not saying everyone's writing in Blogville is running diarrhea, but there is a percentage of human waste entering the drinking water.
I agree...its utter CRAP most of the time!
haha Gunj I was really pissed (beyond recognition) when I wrote that post! :):)
Exactly and thats why i m happy to know and been known to very few and selected people out here.
Pavi wow ur here, only when I write something abt bolggers?
I noticed a TREND in ur comments in my blog posts. Whenever I write abt certain ANONYMOUS bloggers, u comment immediately in that post. Otherwise, u dun even know if Im alive. Why is that Pavi?
Where were u all these days? The last time I had a spat with Ghosty and Sol, u disappeared along with that. I wonder why.
Why dun my other posts beckon u to comment? Or d u feel u need to intervene in posts like this one so u cud clear ur coast?
**Hmm..u do sound frustrated.
yes VERY. WHY? d u hv an DOUBTS abt it? d u think Im not entitled to feel this way, therefore I must be pretending all this? Gimme a break Pavi! dun act like my mum or my doctor. The world is not ur lab!
**R u sure that the people talking behind ur back, being jealous, gossipin etc etc is actually happening and not just a piece of ur imagination?
SURE? Im pretty sure! D u think I should answer an exam paper, so u can be SURE Im telling u the truth here?
mebbe I need to see a shrink..cos Im IMAGINING all this Pavi?
Lets see...Im delusional, I hv MANY personality disorders, Im narcissistic, Im this, Im that, Im 'drama' etc etc. Mebbe I need to see a Psychiatrist right?
How come u seem to DOUBT how I feel, when u dun even visit me anymore? How come every time I write a post abt some spat between me and another friend here, u INTERFERE? worse, u always DOUBT my feelings and always seem to VALUE the other person's feelings against mine...why is that?
Last time I had a spat with Anks, u interfered and asked the same kinda thing - if Im sure or imagining or this or that! and I do know who wrote some nasty anony comments abt me too.
How come u seem to know EVERYTHING abt my feelings and you seem to tell me HOW to react? Im not telling u to take my side, but you always DOUBT my thoughts and feelings. When u had probs with some Anony comments long time ago, I didnt come ard and ask u 'ARE U SURE abt ur feelings pavi' or 'r u imagining them', did I? I believed and respected ur thoughts and I just told u to calm down. Thats all.
So what is it that makes u DOUBT me all the time? D u hv a personal agenda against me? Is it cos I dun belong to ur clan or ur style?
Well guess what... I dun need ur approval on how to feel, what to feel etc etc. Neither is this all imaginary. So u can be ASSURED of this and rest now!
**If ur sure..u should probably confront them.
This post did the confrontation! It brought the right ppl here!
Cheesy Im ok hun tnxx! :) but alot of others arent OK and they think Im imagining all this. They seem to know my head lol!
ty Anu!
**sometimes toxins are required to remind you on the true friends that you have in blogville..
well-said! I hv very of those TOXINS here and they make me value u guys alot *HUGZ*
ty Kaylz!
yes there r alot of mean granmas ard. :)
*HUGZ* I luv ya too!
ty Silvara!
yes..I've reached that point. Worse some ppl come ard asking me if all this is IMAGINARY!
mebbe Im schizo, mebbe Im delusional, mebbe I need to see a shrink? lol!
Kayls chill...u ok now? where r u, home or hospital?
hey Southy!
**thats why i m happy to know and been known to very few and selected people out here.
its not that Im UNHAPPY with every one of my great readers here. Just a few liars here. that all.
besides just cos few ppl r pretenders that doesnt mean we shy away from the whole world @Southy.
I like to associate all kinds of ppl, as much as I can...and if in that crowd I find 1 or 2 clanners, I will tell em off too. That doesnt mean I stop associating ppl.
I like to associate all kinds of ppl, as much as I can...and if in that crowd I find 1 or 2 clanners, I will tell em off too. That doesnt mean I stop associating ppl.
***Thats u keshi, i dont hv such tolerance level like u...
yep Southy thats me :) I know that not everyone is like that, and thats ok. to each his own.
Southy just that some ppl think the world is their lab. In that process they forget to check themselves up.
And the worst part is that everytime somebody pinpoints the flaws, u get 100s of philosophical and at times hopeless arguements...i hv lost so many ppl in this process...lol
I myself had a very funny(now i m calling it funny) incidence recently..
Southy its ok to get 100s of philosophical comments, I actually like them :) Makes me think and grow.
but wut amazes me is how some ppl QUESTION the validity of my THOUGHTS! They ask me if this is REAL or Im IMAGINING all this. Wut do such comments indicate Southy?
Uffff......i can see fumes coming out ur ears.......
Honey, it definately feels bad when people u trust, talk behind ur back....but hey....thats them and dnt expect them to change......old habits die hard.
Honey.....U knw ur GOOD (very*1000 times) n POPULAR IN BLOGVILLE.......They talk behind ur back coz they cannot do so on ur face. They are jealous coz they do not have enough substance to be U. So chill babes....ur readers love u not just coz of ur writing skills but also for the extremely lovable person that u r......
Life jiyo bindaas......Baki Duniya jaye bhaad mein......
Love n Hugs,
Validity of thoughts?how does it matters to them on what u think and believe in?
aww ty Diana HUGS!
worse, some ppl ask me if Im delusional abt all this. seems like they know me very well :):)
Hospital and really hurting :(
hey Southy!
**how does it matters to them on what u think and believe in?
it DOES matter to them..thats why they question the credibility behind this post. cos they r GUILTY!
u know Southy, even in Aus we hv Indians/Sri Lankans etc forming groups based on our races...Tamils, Sinhalese, Gujjus, Punjus etc etc. I hate that shit. They draw more borders. No one pays attention to them than ppl as pathetic as themselves.
These ppl give a bad name to ALL Indians and Sri Lankans. And thats sad.
Kaylz get well soon!
*sends a bunch of e-flowers to Kaylz*
Groups based on races...well its there everywhere and is practiced by almost all countries, usually starts with small differences and goes on to stay that way forever if some real dirty minds get together. But again it depends on those individuals whether they wanna continue being in that mud or just get out and start afresh. I dont hv to go too far, just look within myself. 3 years back when i had a fight with some jerks in perth, i vowed i'll never step in the aussie soil ever was so bloody pissed off coz i had only one thing in my mind that ok this is the country which brags so much on antiracism and has such ppl amongst themselves? A few months back also i rejected an assignment for there, so much hated them that even went ahead in the consulate to surrender the 10yrs multiple visit visa then. Fortunately good sense creeped in, my anger subsided as well coz the way my counterparts took care of me, the way the council was upset seeing me so upset, i m not a jack to overlook all that for 5 jerkoffs whom i already taught a lesson then. So a fortnight back when i accepted the assignment again not only they granted me the visa but also sent the PRA form, which i obviously returned them back and thanked them for taking my crap and understanding my reason of being so furious all these days& still offer me the PRA...
Keshi, you are nearly as terrifying as an after dinner mint when you're angry...
why dont we book a boxing ring or smething and let u guys do some real WWF style figthing or the old traditional...'you beeetch' {pull each other hair}
eitherways dont let this thing go waste...such an opportunity for fun..for us guys i mean :P
and btw...fun apart..i want to b the official snacks partner....never let a good business opportunity go waste
Southy few ppl can give a whole country a bad name. We hv to be aware of that and not judge EVERYONE under the same light.
Its nice to rant out and will teach ppl to keep off ... and the best way to deal with such people is "IGNORE" ...
lol Fingers do I sound sweet n minty when Im angry? aww then Im alright nah? :)
haha ur crazy Mystique!
Deepi ur a NICE girl, unlike me :) I wont IGNORE ppl like this until I tell em off hehehe..
slap them Keshi...I am serious.
Bullies need standing up to..no?
Btw Keshi when are you naming these ppl? You said you'd name them today
its not abt male or female sweetie, sometime ppl just like to do that... i can understand how u must be feelin coz it hurts!! :)
and u said it rightly... u r blunt and i like it... :)
just be wat u r coz we love u for wat u r... :)
take care and dont think too much..
ankur is here!! :D
Totally agree, though it took me a long time to realise it.
yes dear and I feel the main reason is their own unsatisfied desires and a disappointment in life.
And so they get some lil satisfaction out of you coz now at least they know tat u r fuming their purpose gets fulfilled in tat way.
keshi show that tat u don't give a damn to wt they say
let them bark
BACKSTABBING BITCHES are best stoned in public..
Tey're gonna squeal at their computer desks, n cringe with guilt!
they get what they deserve!
btw... just read some of the comments here and i really dont understand wats all this!!
i m feelin so bad after reading all wats going arnd!!!
seriously keshi, its not like we dont want to comment, but sometimes we dont get the time to comment... i dont know yaar wat to say!!
ouch! what just happened really? what initiated this?
anyway, whatever twas, I hope you feelin better now!
there's no point carin bout such people anyway. :)

Galileo service volume simulator available for download
The service volume simulator component of the Galileo system simulator facility is now available for download by interested users after registration.
The Galileo System Simulation Facility (GSSF) is a software simulation tool that reproduces the functional and performance behaviour of the Galileo system in support of system engineering analyses and navigation applications development.
The GSSF has a high degree of in-built flexibility to support a number of system simulation needs. The current version of GSSF provides two simulators, the service volume simulator and the raw data generator, integrated into a single tool.
The Service Volume Simulator (GSSF-SVS) allows navigation and integrity performance analyses over long time periods and over large geographical areas. The GSSF computes figures of merit that estimate the overall Galileo system performance and provides analyses of visibility and coverage, positioning accuracy, integrity and continuity as well as availability of service.
The Raw Data Generator (GSSF-RDG) supports generation of Galileo and GPS observables for early validation of navigation and integrity processing facilities. The tool supports standard formats such as Receiver Independent Exchange Format (RINEX) and Standard Product 3 (SP3).
The GSSF has been validated by ESA against other simulated and real data and has been installed in the Navigation Laboratory at ESTEC.
To register and download the service volume simulator component of the GSSF software, visit the dedicated GSSF website (see link at right).

Kshama Sawant's essay in The Nation "Want to Rebuild the Left? Take Socialism Seriously" asks people who lean to the left to take socialism seriously and points to signs of the massive political potential that exists for a new generation of reds in the United States.
This plea is somewhat misguided.
Instead of pleading for people to take socialism seriously, socialists should take themselves seriously if they hope to earn respect and win a mass following in this country. That is precisely what Sawant and her Socialist Alternative comrades did in Seattle and they met with great success and that is precisely what has been lacking since.
What progress since her historic election has there been towards making socialism a powerful force in American politics? In the wake of Sawant's historic victory, Socialist Alternative, the International Socialist Organization, Solidarity, and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) came together behind Jorge Mujica's campaign for alderman in Chicago's 25th ward, but this unity never really materialized as DSA was the only group to follow through and put people and resources behind Mujica's campaign. Not only did socialist organizations fail to unite behind Mujica but Mujica faced political competition for votes from other left/progressive forces. What should have been a straightforward referendum on Rahmbo's ally — for or against? — devolved into a scattershot campaign with one too many candidates. With the left/progressive anti-Rahm forces and votes split, the pro-Rahm incumbent Danny Solis won in the end by a very thin margin.
Another sign of the socialist movement's lack of seriousness when confronting serious political problems is the way the debate surrounding Kshama Sawant's appearance at a fund-raiser for Democratic (or more accurately, Democratic Party-aligned) city councilman Larry Gossett has developed. When confronted by protesters angry at Gossett over his support for building a new youth prison, Sawant painted Gossett as not being part of "the real establishment." This caused dissension within the ranks of Sawant's group, Socialist Alternative, with one member resigning (to be clear, this person has broader differences beyond the Gossett incident) while another member penned an open letter accusing Sawant and Socialist Alternative of betraying their own stated principles in an attempt to hold onto her city council seat:
"I know that Kshama is facing a fight to keep her seat on the city council. SA is thinking they must build coalitions with people like Gosset in order to do that. Three Democrats have announced they are running against Sawant. In my opinion it would be better to remain firm on the principle of not supporting Democratic candidates. SA could emphasize to Gossett's supporters, "Look, Gossett should leave the democratic party if he really is so progressive. His party is running candidates against the only socialist, woman of color on the city council! "
"Kshama Sawant is betraying our principles in an attempt to hold onto that city council seat. I have been told before by SA leadership that our political candidates are a reflection on our entire organization.
"This is not what I joined SA for."
What is unserious about the above is the fact that they could only appear in the scattered universe of the blogosphere rather than in whatever approved channels Socialist Alternative members use to communicate. Because they appear in the blogosphere, they will simply be ignored by Sawant and those who agree with her on fund-raising for Gossett. Similarly, the results and lessons of Mujica's socialist campaign deserve to be explicitly examined by the socialist left's publications in some organized fashion rather than confined to the comment section of a tiny blog that no one reads.
Refusing to learn never got anyone anywhere and refusing to discuss difficult issues and problems will not make them go away. If we want other people to take socialism seriously, we have to start acting seriously.

The Ohio Bobcats will host the Wright State Raiders on Saturday at 2 p.m. in the second round of the CIT.
In Ohio's first round game against Cleveland State on Wednesday, freshman forward Tony Campbell scored a career-high 21 points in a 64-62 victory at The Convo.
Junior guard Stevie Taylor was impressed with his team's performance Wednesday.
"It's a good win for us," Taylor said. "We were down a man, but we rose up and played good."
In Wednesday's win, Taylor, a Gahanna, Ohio, native, scored 13 points in 22 minutes of action.
"It felt good to get back out there and assume my original role," he said. "My leg feels a little bit better and I was confident in my jump shot. I was happy to play the minutes I normally play."
While his leg still suffers from pain, Taylor said he is able to do enough before the game to limit the pain. Taylor also said that from the time his leg got injured to now, he has made dramatic improvements.
Taylor thinks that he will be back to his best sooner rather than later.
"I showed signs of it last night," he said. "When I'm fully healthy, I think I'll be better than I was before."
This will be the third time this season the Bobcats (24-11) have had a home game in either the conference tournament or postseason tournament. The Bobcats are 2-0 in such games.
"It's big time," Taylor said. "I get another chance to play with (Nick) Kellogg and the rest of the seniors. As long as we are still in this tournament, we'll try to win it."
Wright State (21-14) comes into the game winners of seven of its last eight games.
"They are a good team that is sound on the defensive end," Ohio coach Jim Christian said.
In its first round game against East Carolina, forward A.J. Pacher scored 20 points and guard Matt Vest added 12 points in a 73-59 victory on Tuesday.
"They are a grind-it-out, physical, hard-nosed basketball team that is a lot like Cleveland State," Christian said.
Pacher will be the player Ohio must contain if it wants to advance in the CIT. Pacher leads the team in scoring at 11.3 points per game and rebounding with 4.9 rebounds per game.
The last time these two schools face off against each other was Dec. 17, 2011. Ohio won, 82-54.
For Ohio to keep its season alive, Taylor said the team needs more players to play a key role Saturday.
"Against Cleveland State, we had three guys step up," Taylor said. "If we had two more guys play well, we would've beat Cleveland State by 10 or 15 points. We have to play well, play hard and take care of our bodies. If we do that, we'll be fine."

I haven't written about figure modeling in a while. I just finished up my only scheduling of the semester (hence the lack of material to write about…), which was for a color composition class. Pretty simple schedule, gesture poses for a few minutes at the beginning, then a long pose for the remaining two and half hours. Easy peasy.
But this was the first time I ever actually felt uncomfortable posing for a class. Actually, not the class as a whole, just one particular student. No he didn't leer at me or say anything inappropriate or try to take a picture (I mean, you can be expelled for that shit). No… he just made me feel… weird. Maybe it was the fact that I was laying down, one knee bent and vertical, the other bent and laying flat on the model stand. And this kid, his scrawny self with a bushy beard (hey I don't have anything against beards, I have lots of friends made more manly by copious amounts of facial hair) sat himself directly at my feet.
Now, I'm about to talk about vaginas, so gentlemen feel free to look away.
You'd think as a figure model I'd have no problem with an artist looking at, or consequently drawing, my hoohah. But this time it just felt weird. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I didn't even realize he was at that angle until after my first stretch break… Awko Taco… if ya know what I mean.
So I spent the next two hours feeling tense and uncomfortable, which really detracts from the whole experience. I mean, modeling isn't exactly like laying on a bed of clouds; your limbs fall asleep and your hips and neck start aching long before your 25-45 minutes are up. Tight muscles and anxiety really don't help.
So both days I'm feeling weird about this guy drawing me, especially when I sneak a glance at his paper and see how awkwardly and overtly sexual of an angle it's at. It also doesn't help that every time I get up to stretch he opens the door to outside to go smoke a cigarette. Cause he was a hipster of course. Did you know it was 45°F today? Yeah, not so cool man, I'm fucking naked. Not gonna lie, one of my toes went numb.
Yes I know I should have said something, especially about being cold. If you're cold – or even tense – you're more likely to move, which is not good for the artists. #1 rule of modeling? Don't. Fucking. Move. I was extremely flattered when at the end of the session today one of the artists thanked me and said I was one of the only models on campus who could stay still for more than five minutes. That's a really great feeling… but then again, I've been doing this for almost three years, if I hadn't learned to stay still by this point, well, let's just say I'd be a bit of a failure.
I don't feel like I've ever mentioned the awkward parts of modeling, other than the simple act of taking your clothes off. Vagina aside, there are other parts of my body I really don't feel comfortable with looking at in the mirror, much less showing other people. We all have those areas of our bodies that we don't like, or that we wish could be more toned, less flabby, more attractive. If I've learned one thing from the artists though, it's that the size and shape of your body matters much less to them than your ability to hold a pose. There is beauty in every curve, in every fold, in every inch of skin and muscle and bone. When a professor tells the students to emphasize the bony landmarks of my body (the sternum, the hips, shoulders, clavicles) to help create proper proportions, or to notice the curve of muscles in my back as I twist, or a myriad of other dynamic points of interest on my body, I feel respected as an object.
Yes, it's strange to hear that a woman, especially a woman with generally feminist views, enjoys being viewed as an object, but I think you misunderstand. I'm not a sexual object, I'm an artistic object. Something to be viewed with curiosity, interest, and a desire to learn something about form, shadow, value, proportion, or temperature. I'm not an artist by any stretch of the imagination and I love listening to the discussions the students have with the professor and the advice he/she gives.
So I admit, I sometimes feel sexually objectified when I model, such as during this last session. I don't like it, it doesn't flatter me, and it definitely doesn't make me feel attractive. But on the other hand, there are many times that I feel that my body has become an object of learning. A pathway on which students can develop a sense of their own artistic ability and talent. It's not an altruistic feeling, just one that permeates my attitude toward the job (because yes, it is a job) and makes getting naked in front of strangers that much easier. I really hope that I can avoid situations where I feel uncomfortable with the artists drawing me. I've had one that snapped at my for wiggling my toes so my foot wouldn't fall asleep (she was just a bitch, whatever), another who asked if she could take a picture with her phone because she hadn't been in class for the first session (yeah… no.), and the guy this time. Perhaps I'm being to sensitive, but I honestly didn't feel comfortable around him, even though I didn't feel threatened.
Here's to hoping my next session will be one of pure art and not one of sexualization for the sake of "art." There's far more that can be said on this topic, but I think I've rambled on enough and I should probably quit my bitchin' for the day. Until next time!

Satyanarayan Iyer of ToI has an article showing how Niti Aayog is overstating rise in digital payments in India since demonetisation.
In its publication Niti Aayog says payments have risen by 23 times!
Volume of all digital transactions increased by about 23 times with 63,80,000 digital transactions for a value ofRs. 2425 crore in March 2017 compared to 2,80,000 digital transactions worth Rs.101 crore till November 2016.
Iyer points to RBI data saying the data shows all digital transactions have gone by 1.43 times.
However, an analysis of the RBI data on digital transaction volume and value in March 2017 (latest available data) as against that of October 2016 shows that the overall volume had gone up just 1.43 times (see table). TOI spoke to Anna Roy, adviser (DAMD), Niti Aayog, who was in charge of preparing the statement, about "the 23 times' gain". She said the numbers were provided to them by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). When told that the numbers were too high and the data showed that actual gains were much lower, she replied, "I agree with you".
Going by the RBI data, the 23 times' increase is only for Unified Payments Interface (UPI) volume and value gain and not for "all digital transactions" as stated. For perspective, UPI volume in March 2017 was just 0.69% of overall digital volumes and 0.015% of overall digital transactions value.
"The numbers have been reconciled and double-checked by our IT department," said Amitabh Kant, CEO, Niti Aayog, on Saturday. On Monday, one of his team members said they will look into the data and it could have been a "typographical error," but said the intention was to point out that consumer-facing digital numbers have grown.
While the numbers have grown in the days since demonetisation, the overall growth is much lower than stated even for only consumer-facing transactions like card usage at PoS terminals and digital wallet usage, among others.
The data is fairly easy to check and indeed shows the error. One does not know where to look when such elementary mistakes are made by leading economics policy body of the country.
It is really sad when policy institutions release reports just to please the current government. These numbers have been released and using the several channels have been told to the people as well. The impression has been created and a TOI article can barely change the perception. Even a corrected report will not really be released with similar fanfare .
Instead of sounding caution which is one of the main jobs, it is amazing to see the main Policy body to just blindly move to digitisation. Its disconnect with Indian reality is alarming. One has been reading highly arrogant statements made by its heads which does not provide any comfort either.
These were the very mistakes the earlier version of Niti Aayog also made with respect to the previous government.We were told the new version would be different and would play just an advisory role and not get into politics. But sadly this has not been the case.

When the Necks take the stage at REDCAT on Thursday night, there will surely be some confused looks darting around the audience before the performance begins. If the Australian piano trio's pattern holds -- as it has for the last 22 years -- the musicians will stand over their instruments, heads bowed, waiting for complete silence to fill the room. No one moves, no one makes a sound, until inspiration strikes.
Dedicated to in-the-moment musicianship and slowly evolving group improvisations that usually swell to an hour in length, the Necks are not your typical jazz trio. Coming together out of the Sydney jazz scene in the mid-1980s, each member of the Necks felt pulled to other styles of music and music creation that didn't mesh with the musician's experience performing straight jazz.
I think we all just felt that a lot of contemporary jazz labors under a bit of an information overload," said Lloyd Swanton, who in addition to playing bass for the Necks still performs in a number of jazz ensembles around Sydney. There's just too much going on, and we wanted to bring things down to a much finer focus, to look at just the really basic building blocks of music and see if there was still inspiration to be gained from that."

More news about Samsung Galaxy Tab
No comments · Posted by jelqzko in Latest News
Since the rumors for the upcoming Android tablet of Samsung showed up around the web, Galaxy Tab is constantly in the daily news of almost every mobile-oriented media. Starting with the specs, going through the official announcement, ending with release dates and prices in various countries and carriers.
The first thing that we are going to inform you today is regarding the price of Galaxy Tab. Today is the launch day of the Tab in Sprint's network. It will cost 399$ on a 2-year contract. The possible data plans are 29.99$ per month for 2GB of data or 59.99$ per month for 5GB of data and unlimited messaging. So to sum up, if you go on a 2GB plan, you'll have to pay about 720$ for the contract and additional 399$ for the Galaxy Tab itself. Choosing the 5GB plan will cost you about 1440$ for the contract. And all these numbers does not included taxes and surcharges.
The second this that is interesting around Galaxy Tab is that Samsung has released the open source parts of the source code of the tablet. To most of you this wouldn't mean anything, but for the developers these are very good news (actually soon the users will benefit from this, too). Of course, many of Samsung's applications are not open source, but developers could use this source to build various ROMs, kernels and so on. So stay tuned and wait for the first custom ROMs for your Tab.

Froyo makes its way to everyone
No comments · Posted by jelqzko in Latest News
Since the rumors for release of Android 2.2 Froyo everyone has hoped that his device will be among those, who will be getting this update. But since then not many devices received it. But this week brings some good news to the owners of several devices.
Let's begin with Dell Streak – since its release, Streak is running one Android 1.6. An exception are the devices, running on the leaked and modified build of the UK version's .2.1 update, but they are not so much. But there are some news from Dell – they say that Dell Streak won't be getting 2.1 but it will be directly receiving FroYo. The rumors were for December 31st but Dell promised that Over-the-air update will be released much sooner than this. So take a deep breath and wait for that yoghurt.
Motorola Milestone European customers may also be happy, because Motorola announced that they are starting to make some user tests. Once they are complete, it will be clear if some further optimizations and changes should be made and then proceed to the final testing and approval stage. Motorola promises to deliver Android 2.2 to European Milestone users by the end of the year.
Last but not least, it's a good day for Samsung Galaxy S users. Samsung has just released the source code of Android 2.2 for this device. Practically this means 2 things – firstly that the official update is very close and secondly – that the guys from XDA developers and other custom ROMs developers will start working on this and soon there will be some nice custom ROMs for everyone keen on rooting and flashing.

text: Security volunteers would be deployed in different parts of the country to support the work of the police [AFP] Bahrain is beefing up security measures around the country's mosques over threats made by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group, the interior ministry said. The measures were taken after a suicide attack on a Shia mosque in neighbouring Kuwait last week, in which an ISIL member killed 27 people. Security volunteers trained by the civil defence were deployed in different parts of the country to support the work of the police on Friday, when large numbers of Muslims flock to mosques to perform noon prayers. Police forces imposed stronger measures around the country's biggest mosques and screened worshippers as they entered to pray. Last Saturday, ISIL commander Turki al-Binali, a Bahraini who has been stripped of his citizenship, announced on Twitter that "the next attack after Kuwait" would be in Bahrain. France, Kuwait, Tunisia: Where next? Bahraini media said Binali travelled to Syria in 2014 to join the upper ranks of the ISIL group. Turki's cousin, Mohammad Bin Essa al-Binali, who also joined ISIL, worked as an official in the interior ministry before his defection. Any sensible government or a sensible person who saw what ISIL did in the Gulf and around the world will take ISIL threats very seriously. Jamal Fakhro, Bahraini MP ISIL's statement came a day after the attack in Kuwait, which the government said was carried out by a Saudi citizen, and for which ISIL claimed responsibility. In May, ISIL targeted Shia mosques in Saudi Arabia on two consecutive Fridays. The group considers Shia Muslims to be heretics. Jamal Fakhro, a member of the parliament, said the government is taking the threats "very seriously". "Any sensible government and sensible person who saw what ISIL did in the Gulf and around the world, will take ISIL threats very seriously," he told Al Jazeera. "The threat is not only today. It is a daily threat. The government will do its best because there is a legislative authority that will hold them accountable in case something goes wrong." Bahraini journalist Reem Khalifa reported heavy presence of security forces in Northern Governorate and helicopters hovering over the area where she is based. She also said that the internet service was slowed down significantly, adding that it was a security measure the government usually took during protests and unrest. "The nearby al-Sadeq mosque is a big Shia mosque that is a potential target," she told Al Jazeera. Many mosques in the capital, Manama, are located in crowded narrow streets, making them easy targets, Khalifa added. Call for national unity Bahraini officials met with Sunni and Shia religious figures to coordinate efforts to secure places of worship. Abdullah bin Rashid al-Khalifa, the governor of the Southern Governorate, called on preachers and scholars to emphasise national unity and moderation in their Friday sermons. Shia Muslims comprise the majority of Bahrain's population but the country is ruled by a Sunni monarchy. Over the past four years, Bahrain witnessed unrest after the eruption of Shia-led protests inspired by the so-called Arab Spring uprisings in the Arab world. The protesters were met with a deadly crackdown by the police and dozens of activists were arrested. The ISIL threat has spurred an increasingly reconciliatory narrative among some in Bahrain, as the government expressed its determination to ensure the safety and security of the country's Shia population. The Bahrain Foundation for Reconciliation and Civil Discourse on Thursday called for carrying out joint Sunni-Shia Friday prayers in some of the country's mosques. "This initiative coincides with the unfortunate events taking place in neighbouring countries where places of worship are being targeted and extremist ideas are being spread," the foundation said in a statement.

The real beer prices at the Q
A source provided incorrect prices for some beers at Qualcomm Stadium Tuesday. Sixteen-ounce premium draft beers cost $11. The updated information is reflected in the story.
Monday, I poured some skepticism over a list that showed the Chargers sell the fourth-cheapest beer in the National Football League, at $6 a pop. Tuesday, I set out to investigate the issue even further.
Sadly, it wasn't a game day so I couldn't conduct my investigation in person. Still, I soldiered on to get to the bottom of the beer ... prices at Qualcomm Stadium.
First, I emailed Chargers spokesman Bill Johnston to ask if the Q really offers $6 beers on game days. He suggested I call Scott Marshall, an executive at Centerplate, the team's concessions company, for an answer. "I'm curious myself," Johnston wrote.
By Tuesday afternoon, I had left Marshall a couple messages but hadn't heard back. Undeterred, I set out to do a little digging. Readers had made my post the most popular on the site for parts of two days running. It was the least I could do for them.
First, I logged onto fancostexperience.com, the source that businessinsider.com had used in the blog post I cited in my post on Monday.
There, I found a 2011 team marketing report from September that shows beer prices at each NFL stadium. Two things you should know about the list: 1) It was a more recent ranking than the one businessinsider used for its post, and 2) it lists the cost of a small draft beer at each stadium, with superscript numbers denoting the smallest available size, so it's not really a lager-to-lager comparison.
I grabbed a calculator (my phone -- does anyone use those things to talk anymore?) and figured out a new statistic: the cost of beer per ounce for each team in the league.
Finally, I made the chart to your right.
It shows a) that my journalism training has really paid off and b) that when it comes to beer prices, the Chargers are actually in the middle of the 32-team pack.
It also shows the beers sold by the winless St. Louis Rams are not the highest priced in the NFL, as we were led to believe. Instead, the Indianapolis Colts are slinging the league's most expensive suds.
Funny, right? The Colts haven't won a game this year, either! (Talk about adding insult to
Regardless, by day's end, I was on the phone with local publicist John Hickman on behalf of Centerplate. He said the price of beer at the stadium currently ranges from $9 to $11, not $8, as reported by fancostexperience.com. He didn't know when the cost changed last.
Hickman told me that the stadium's 20-ounce domestic drafts (Bud, Bud Light, Coors Light and Miller Lite) are $9 (and 3.2 percent alcohol by volume) and its 16-ounce premium draft beers (everything from Stone to Stella Artois) sell for $11.
Then he told me where to find that elusive $6 beer.
That amount will buy you a 16-ounce Bud or Bud Light at a single location in the parking lot outside Qualcomm Stadium in section F2, the site of the Bud Light Chargers Power Party. The area opens to the public three and a half hours before kickoff, and admission is free.
Free, of course, to anyone who walks into the parking lot without a ticket to the game. Others will have already spent money on their ticket and paid for parking or the trolley.

Paulson Watches recently released the Pearl Diver, one of the World's toughest, lightest, slimmest dive watches.
The brand's inaugural watch designed with a simple mission in mind: creating a capable dive watch that is lightweight and slim for a fair price. The Pearl Diver is a mechanical watch in a titanium case that takes an enduring dive watch design with stylistic touches that define this new brand.
The Pearl Diver is water resistant to 100m, which is of paramount importance to the brand's founders who frequently dive and enjoy water sports. Additionally, the watch is outfitted with a unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel marked with lumed indices for easy reading in low-light situations.
Using lightweight Grade 5 titanium, the 45 gram weight of the Pearl Diver is kept to half of what a steel watch weighs while being much tougher and scratch-resistant. That light weight also makes it easier to comfortably do things like typing or running errands without being irritated by a heavy or bulky wristwatch. Furthermore, it was important to keep the thickness of the Pearl Diver at a height that allows it to easily tuck under a sleeve. At 10.7mm thick, there are not many mechanical dive watches out there that are slimmer at this price point.
On the dial are the polished, legible hands that are done in a blue Swiss Super-LumiNova, as is the "lollipop" shaped seconds hand. The design is kept simple and easy to read, but a subtle gradient black dial changes between various tones of dark grey, navy and indigo to keep things visually interesting and not flat. To ensure legibility and ease of reading, the sapphire crystal is treated with anti-reflective coating, so glare and bright situations are not a problem.
The Paulson Pearl Diver runs on a Japanese Miyota 9015 automatic movement. This 24-jewel movement can be hand wound and has a hacking seconds function, a 42-hour power reserve, and the Parashock anti-shock system. Reliable and tough, the 9015 can run for a weekend and is accurate to between -10 and -30 seconds per day.
The Pearl Diver is meant to be versatile which is why it comes with two straps. The black perlon strap is sporty and ideal for outdoor as well as water activities. For times like going to dinner or a night out with friends, the Italian black leather strap dresses the Pearl Diver up just enough. The signed buckle on both straps is done in Grade 5 brushed titanium.
You can now pre order your Paulson Pearl Diver on Indiegogo.com, with manufacturing beginning at the end of the campaign (expect about 4 months for the watch to be ready). The watch will retail for $395 plus shipping but early backers will be rewarded with early bird discounts and free shipping.
Paulson Watches Ltd, is a Swedish Canadian family owned business. For more information on the Pearl Diver or for enquiries please visit: www.paulsonwatches.com To pre-order your Pearl Diver visit: https://igg.me/at/paulsonwatches/x/18973760
Paulson Watches Ltd. is a Swedish - Canadian family owned business. We are passionate about watches, sports and the great outdoors. From that passion came the vision to design iconic, quality time pieces that are tough, lightweight, slim and water resistant. We would like to welcome you to the Paulson family and hope you enjoy our watches.

Coach Demetre Riles said he was proud of his team because they played a good game, were disciplined and stuck to the game plan.
"We kept it close for quite a while. Dillard was the better team, but we have nothing to hold our heads down about. That is one of the best teams in Florida and we were right there with them," he noted.
The Brahmans did a good job of finding soft spots in the Panthers' zone defense. Shooters like Epps, Ferrol and Mark Youmans had some good looks at the basket.
Riles said the Brahmans hard work this year really spoke volumes in this game. He said the team has a lot to look forward to, provided they work hard over the summer.
Wright said his team can't afford to come out sluggish in playoff games if they intend to win the state championship. He said they did a better job of closing out on the Brahman shooters in the second half and stopped the wide open shots.
"Okeechobee went very hard. Coach told us we had to step it up or go home so we stepped it up," he noted.
A three pointer by Epps and a basket by Antawyn Fludd kept Okeechobee to within 31-29 late in the third before Dillard went on a late 14-4 run to take control of the game.
A three pointer by Mark Youmans pulled Okeechobee to 58-49, but that was as close as they would get in the fourth quarter.
Coach Riles said the Panthers got a lot of easy baskets late in the game simply because they were stronger and taller and pushed his team around inside.
"We were just as athletic as them and the team gave it their all. We were able to do what we needed to do on offense and make no mistake were a good team," he added.
Okeechobee tried to keep Dillard off balance by playing different defenses.
In the end Wright, Robert Johnson and Raiquan Gray were able to use their size to overpower the Brahmans inside.
Epps said he was pleased his team played hard in his final high school game.
"It feels pretty good. It just wasn't a team win that we wanted. I hit a few three-point baskets and it felt great to play in a big arena. It makes you rise to greater heights," he said.
