What A Day !!
Sunday.
I was in pune.
Went to meet Rumi.
I reached pune on Saturday, the day was usual.
Sunday began normally.
Rumi, me, Akshay and Veenu, we met.
1stly we went to telephone shoppee to buy the mobile for Rumi.
She wanted to buy a nice and costly cell.
We bought HTC P4350 for her. Its an awesome phone.
The piece is same like mine but it has a keyboard below it.
It comes sliding out and then you have to operate the phone horizontally.
It is too cool.
I was too excited, I guess more than Rumi :-)
Then from there we decided to go to meet Wasim, as he was operated for some minor operation of extra growing bone of his nose. Veenu was driving the santro in which we all were there.
And then at a turn, while she was taking left, there was a esteem going straight on the perpendicular road and before that car should pass Veenu took the turn and there was slight touch of the 2 vehicles.
The front bumper of santro hit the back bumper of the esteem.
Speaking the truth, our vehicle was more damaged than the front car. But the fact was that it was our mistake ;-) hehe...not completely though.
At 1st the 2 vehicles stopped.
But then the ladies from the esteem got out and started arguing.
I didn’t expect that the matter will be stretched for the time it actually got.
There was big argument between the two parties.
The worst part was that in the front car, only driver was male and all others were females.
And that’s the worst that can happen, according to me.
The females in the car started speaking so nonsense that I get irritated even now if I think of every fuckin senseless argument they were giving.
We were at the accident spot for more than half an hour.
I tried to convince the driver that these things happen...
There was just a scratch on there back bumper and it got a small dent too but I still believe it was earlier there; probably it got more bent cuz of our hit.
I tried to convince driver to take some few hundreds from us and settle the matter but that idiot was pressurized by the women and hence we all went to the near by garage to know how much actually the damage was.
We drove to the garage near by and there again we wasted another half an hour just arguing.
I was so frustrated arguing with those 3 females …I just can’t express it in words here.
The perfect hindi words or say phrases for it are “Dimaag ka dahi hona”…or “matthapacchi”.
At last when I was still giving fight to the senseless arguments of those females in front of the garage mechanics, Askhay came in between and gave the driver 1000 bucks and that was the end of the fight.
I still feel that I would have fought and settled the matter in hundreds but that’s fine.
Sometimes it’s better to just get the rid of such matters rather than staying and arguing and waste your time.
There are many things and dialogues from the incident (accident) which were too funny proving how dumb the females are, but mentioning it in words won’t create that effect.
One good thing from our side was that none of the 2 gals in car got out for the argument. :-)
Anyways after that we went to meet Wasim in hospital and then at night it was a big match…Euro Cup 2008 final between Germany and Spain.
I don’t wanna remember all of it as I feel that Germany really didn’t perform up to expectations and hence lost the match :-(
So in all the day was all about mixed feelings, excitement and happiness of buying a nice phone, adventure and frustration of an accident and then sadness of Germany losing the match.
What a Day !!

Holland vs Russia (Euro Cup 2008 3rd QF)
The match was really an exciting one.
Though not as exciting as last nite's match :-)
Netherlands has been the highest goal scorer in Euro Cup 2008 till today.
They have scored 9 goals in just 3 matches and won all of them.
But today in quarter final knock out match against Russia they didn’t do that well I guess.
1st half went without goals.
In second half Russia scored the 1st goal in 56’.
I watched match from 75’ (was out for some personal reason...came home at 1.30 am :-) )
When it was almost the end of the match, just before 4 minutes, Netherlands managed to equal up the match. A goal was scored at 86’.
All depressed Holland fans as if were celebrating their independence.
They were so damn disappointed and depressed just a minute ago and then suddenly this goal brought them to life.
The match equaled with 1 – 1 score and then began the extra time.
In 1st half of the extra time no goals.
Then in 2nd half at 112’ Russia did it.
What a goal it was…a shoot from near the corner just ahead of goal and then a winning touch by another to get the ball inside.
As if this was not enough just within 4 minutes Russia hit another goal at 116’.
This too was a fantastic goal.
Netherlands couldn’t do anything after that.
They knew their destiny.
The game was over.
Russia had knocked them out.
Russia defeated Netherlands by 3 – 1.
The only match Netherlands lost made them leave the cup.
Tomorrow is the last QF match between Spain and Italy…its gonna be a great fun too.
Let’s see what happens.
Gudnite …time to sleep…zzz

Croatia VS Turkey (Euro Cup 2008 2nd QF)
Its 3 am 21st June 2008.
One of the most dramatic football matches just ended.
Euro Cup 2008 2nd Quarter Final Match between Croatia and Turkey.
A total play of almost 125 mins.
The match ended as 0 – 0 in 90 mins.
Then began the extra time for 30 mins.
No goal in 1st half of extra time.
No goal till 118’.
And then in 119’ Croatia hit the goal. A pass from near the corner and then header to score the goal.
All Croatian fans were as happy as they should be.
And all Turkey fans were equally depressed.
Isn’t it fantastic to score the goal in the second last minute of the match and that too in the extra time?
Man what a match changing point it was.
Croatian players along with their coach were as if celebrating the Euro Cup Final Win.
And then it happened…Armageddon for them…Sky fell on them…Dreams Shattered…
In fuckin 120+2 min of match, last min of match, just within a min after Croatia scored goal…in extra time of extra time, Turkey scored a goal. A free kick for Turkey which came in D and them Semih hit it straight in the goal like a bullet.
It was so dramatic. Match equaled just in time…and literally just in time.
The complete scene reversed.
Turkey fans cheering up. Croatian fans tensed.
It was time for Penalties.
Croatia hit the 1st…SAVED by Turkey’s 35 yrs old goalkeeper.
Turkey hit the 1st…GOAL.
Croatia hit the 2nd…GOAL
Turkey hit the 2nd…GOAL
Croatia hit the 3rd…AGAIN SAVED
Turkey hit the 3rd…GOAL
Croatian player came for the 4th hit…If he doesn’t hit this as GOAL…Croatia is OUT.
Turkey goalkeeper…if he saves this one…Turkey is IN.
And then they WON…TURKEY…
The goal was saved.
Tears rolled over Croatian fans’ and players’ faces.
And all Turkey fans and players were enjoying.
Croatia didn’t lose a single game in Euro Cup 2008 before this.
But the only one it lost…dragged it out of the game.
A great match, it was.
Turkey defeated Croatia by 3 – 1 in Penalties.
Time to sleep…3.40 am
Memento
Some Memories Are Best Forgotten.Memento...
Saw this movie last Sunday 15th June at 2 am :-)
Was getting bored and then came to know that the upcoming Aamir’s movie "Ghajni" is a remake of this one.
So decided to see it as it was in my collection.
Memento is directed by Christopher Nolan, I had seen one more movie by him "The Prestige" and it's also a cool movie.
Memento actually means a thing kept as reminder, that death is inevitable.
A real cool movie.
It’s a psychological thriller film...as described in wiki.
The movie is about a guy who suffers from anterograde amnesia...in which you cannot build up more memories...after the point of incident (accident).
This is the condition which Guy Pearce(Leonard) keeps on telling everyone he meets.
Leonard chases a guy named "John G" and since he can’t rmbr anything about the people he meets he keeps on taking their snaps and writing notes on them.
To make sure he doesn’t forget the details and clues he also has imp clues tattooed on his body allover. The one most imp, alws making him rmbr his aim is on his chest written in mirror image "John G raped and murdered my wife".
The movie has just 3 main characters – Leonard, Teddy and Natalie.
The movie is beautifully directed.
The movie has 2 sequences running in black & white and color.
The b&w sequence is the forward chronology and the color one is the reverse chronology.
It’s really fun to watch the movie...as u will keep on scratching your head in order to fix the jigsaw pieces shown on screen...but it is not until last sequence shown that you will completely get the final order and positions of the pieces.
The 1st scene of the movie is the last scene of the story and the last scene of the movie is the middle scene of the story but revealing the truth. Sounds confusing huh…but that’s what it is.
It’s a low budget movie and shot in just 25 days.
This was the 1st Guy Pearce's movie I saw and I liked the actor.
The only person known for me in the movie was Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss – Trinity in Matrix).
It’s a recommended movie.
I give it at 3.5 stars out of 5. :-)

Let me kno by leaving a comment…if my Klueless 3 Hints were helpful.
klueless3 game rules (very imp) :- http://www.iimi-iris.com/iris-2007/irising/klueless3/
Level0 :- try the basic fundas of klueless…1st few stages are the warm up stages making u rmbr the basic things of getin thru the levels..klueless is smtimes deceptive…it doesn’t want u to do..wat it is askin u to…or telin u to.
Level1 :- tried clickin everywhr but u dint revoke any dialogue box to submit answer??
M I rite??? Check the source code…it tells you where to answer or rather complete the sentence on screen.
Level2 :- hmmm….r u sure, u r lookin at eveythin on screen???
Do u rmrb some tips from klueless1??? Or if u chck the source code, I don’t think u need to think anything??? The answer is thr.
Level3 :- No need to concentrate who the king is, hope u kno wat the monument is and use the page title…try completing it…this will lead towards answer but after that use ur own logic to match the different words.
Level4 :- if you have a real gud eye..u will see wat is needed…nd then just use the clue of source code and the page title..that gives u the easy answer…search for the signs…enigmatic though.
Level5 :- You need to figure out wat the pic exactly mean. It wont take much effort to kno if u have some basic Gk bout rock world and then wiki will lead u to answer. Don’t 4get to read the entire page. Don’t forget that the answer is a number without digits…u kno…I am same…WE are same.
Level6 :- u hv to simply find the connection between 3 pictures. The are bent it…you have to bend it too…Find the name of the monument…then…find wats common between the pic of lady..nd smthing in url…then find common between that common (person) and the 3rd pic…u will get the answer…the answer is a very very very well known word…a part of sm1 very famous person’s name….i have almost written the answer now. :-)
Level7 :- shud nt tk more dan a minute… if u see all the clues…the page title and the pic …nd url gives u the answer..very very staright answer.
Level8 :- hmmm…u wud have got this in a minute if u wud hv been british…newys…try to frame a phrase for the 2 pics u see…both have the same meaning…search for it then in wiki…nd read the entire page u will get the answer…the page title is also a gud clue.
Level9 :- one of the easiest to get thru…don’t think bout the page title…or wat u see on screen or the url…just check the source code and see wat has been highlighted…I guess ur English is gud enuf to kno atleast few synonyms.
Level10 :- perhaps the toughest of all…1st clue is dat this has one hidden level in between…now its upto u…to get to dat level...its not too tough if u’ve played klueless b4…
nd then search for the secret of 52…get the secret way to decode in wiki...
page title and caption for the picture form another rule to decode…
nd then wat u see in hidden level…only half of its part is imp…ignore the 1st half…apply the rule…nd get the answer…this will clear ur few basics…I hope…
since there is no space to submit answers…the only thing remained to change is the url. :-)
Level11 :- whu is the guy…since the url has word book..i guess he is an author...but wat book…the page title and his action in picture tells u the name…not complete though…but a major part of the book name…nd then u have to get the biggest clue from the source code…just think wat examples are given and how can it be related with the book name..dats the answer.
Level12 :- think hard…enuf klues are already given…the clues are askin u to go smwhr…the picture resembles smthing…the word zero is present twice…in url and in page title…wat does this all mean??? Go nd find the truth thr…it isn’t bitter.
Level13 :- Source code is the biggest clue…few words of it… its obvious the text is ciphered…now all u have to do is to kno…wat cipher dis is… the man who can find those lucky words of source code can get the cipher easily…once u get wat exactly is written...dont think much…just goggle for it…nd u wil get the answer...its smthin mentioned in url.
Level14 :- I guess this is the best composed level in the game…if u have attended all the periods in ur school…u wil need 5 mins…the page title is the BIGGEST clue here…Does smthing click to u...by those two words on screen???...if it does click…then “XXXXXXXXX” matches between us…Wat are those numbers..nd wat table is the source code askin u to refer…just give it a thot…wen u get it all…SIMPLY CONNECT…nd nthng else.
Level15 :- Hope you get…whu d characters are...later wonder wat is additional in the pic...if you see wikipedia for the correct character amongst the two…you will find the same pic…nd u will figure out...few signs are additional…how many are they??…y are they thr??... r they telling u the exact answer…read wiki...get the answer…I hope I dint spoil.
Level16 :- one of the easiest level..just type (in google)…the complete name of the actress on screen…nd the key word in the url…dat gives u the answer thr itself in the search result.
Level16a :- I guess easier than the previous level…just type in google two imp words…one is clue that you get from the source code…oder is the clue on ur screen infront of u(answer of previous level)…dats all.
Level17 :- the source code helps you to get the answer…I think its quite a helpful clue…you can think upon few oder clues…which are very direct like…the page title and caption above the mask…do u think V is alws for Victory???
Level18 :- u need to research to kno who are they…image name combined with the source code is useful hint…once u get thru dat…the page title will help to kno the answer…but again a part of answer is required not the complete part…some part which source code has asked for.
Level19 :- not a hard one…url and source code are giving u the same big clue…the cartoon on screen will help u more…i guess now u know whu has said dat...but u have to find…whu actually said dat…the answer is smthin dat u wud get in a blank mail.
Level20 :- i took a lot of time for this one...infact i jus took answer from my fnd..hehe…
newys…see the source code…something is hidden thr…smthin like u did in lvl 10...in every word sm letter is highlighted…combine them, u wil get smthing…i dnt thnk doing all this is actualy needed...i dnt kno my clue is gonna help u or not…actually u have to cmplt the word on screen…have u ever noticed…how difficult it is to paint…dont u think u need to have a grand imagination.
Level21 :- quite easy one…fortunately i got thru dis one within a minute…just get the keywords from wat u see on screen…google for them…goto wiki…read the complete page…u will come to kno...wat those xxxxx stand for…the text dat has been written on pic by the author is also a big clue…it will help u pickin the exact sentence written by X’s…enter the word…dat has been highlighted by the X’s in red…dats all.
Level22 :- dis was a real nice one…the url…source code…name of the image u c…the text written…the image itself…are all very very useful clues…then page title “0.5” is smthin u have to think upon…don’t thnk very complex…be simple…
this stage has a middle stage…after u get to know wat the above thing is pointing towards…u wil have to change smthin…nd get wat u were searchin for(the middle stage)…after u get that thing…u will be more surprised as u will think nthng is thr...but thr is smthin…u have to find the keyword…dat is thr…how to find…either the source code + page title clue combinely will help u…or thr is a very simple easy way to find it…if u r aware of few windows fundas.
Level23 :- enuf clues are thr…I kno u will easily find the cipher used..but now don’t scratch ur head much to find the key…the key has already been mentioned thrice…if u think something dat is highlighted is a key then u are misleaded…after u decode the text…just google it to get the answer.
Level24 :- again a simple one…don’t concentrate on the lyrics written…don’t concentrate on band…neither the name of the song…just concentrate on few letters in the text…few highlighted in a real nice way…combine them…nd then check the source…to kno the simple procedure to decode them…one of the most common cipher…its not difficult to cut the newspaper with the scissors. :-)
Level25 :- hmmm…again u have to decode…if typewriter was not comfortable…then obviously sm1 must have simplified it…wat ws dat…why all letters are marked “X” except one in d pic…this all will lead u only one thing…use that thing to decode the text…its pretty easier…
the answer wil give u a shock. :-)
Level26 :- hw much r u aware of rock moozik…I m a crazy fan...do u kno some stories…if not this is pretty difficult for u…still I will help…do u kno…whu is the posthumous richest rockstar…whu rocked 1969 woodstock…what is “the American” night about…if u kno dese 3 persons…FIGURE out something common between them…ages have passed but still its known.
Level27 :- dis is a real nice one…it increased my knowledge…it wont take much effort to kno how to decode wat u see…once u get the exact number...google it…find out wat it is related to…the truth is horrifying…out of all the digits in number u get…which number is highlighted by blue lines…nd y it is highlighted.
I love IRON MAIDEN…if u too…then this n even next level...is a child’s play for u.
Level27a :- As I told u…dis is an easy one...luk at the url and nd I guess it is related with a wild horrifyin animal…rite…i almost wrote the answer.
Level28 :- I took a bit long time for this...but lastly figured it out…u kno...wat u r lukin at is not sm silly pencil sketch by the klueless authors…it is a manufacturing pic of smthing…wat thing…the clue gives u a very simple answer…wat doesn’t fail in zero gravity and even underwater…if u get dat thing…just see the related page in wiki…no need to read anything…just scroll the page and look at images…u will come to kno the answer instantly…it the answer for the “?”
Level29 :- Marvellous…I was so fed up at this stage…just cuz i dint try something very simple at this stage...u have done dat…i hd done dat…1stly think that wat the author is poiting towards…which fantasy fiction…one u get the names of all books…concentrate on wat is written on the parchment and wat the page title tells u…both are same things…now u have to search for 7 more clues…how will u do that…dats upto u…but dats not all…after u get those 7 things…u have to search for the question…it will be formed combining all 7 things u got...nd dat will lead u to answer.
Level30 :- the worst thing in the world is dat it is infront of u but u cant c it…u must be thinkin real hard since it’s the last stage…don’t be under assumption dat dis is very hard…u have to simply link or find connection between matrix and 1984…there is no fire in the room.
Next Level :- now plz don’t tel me…u r not getin this one..u kno wats coming next…nd u don’t have any oder plc to write it except the plc whr u need to.
I hope my klues helped u guys…
Thanks to Rahul for helping me out to get thru some stages.
Kip in touch…Kip Rockin \m/
Kluesless...Fundoo Timepass !!
This is the 1st time I am writing bout Klueless in my blog.
For the beginners, klueless is one of the best online games available.
It is a part of IIM Indore’s annual festival IRIS.
Till date Klueless(1), Klueless2 and Klueless3 have been released.
Few days back, I completed Klueless 3.
The best part of Klueless is that it passes the firewall of most IT companies, lol.
Klueless is a very enticing game.
A single word for it is “addiction”.
You get addicted to it and then no matter what oder work or study responsibilities u have, u 1st wanna complte the damn game.
Its too frustrating when u cant get thru the clues on various blogs and stil find urself in the middle of nthng.
This is the 1st motto for this blog.
I will be writing 2 separate blogs named Klueless 3 Hints (Klueless3 Hints) and Klueless 3 Answers (Klueless3 Answers).
Believe me Klueless is the game where you will come to a point of begging for the answer.
At few points I was too desperate to search for Klueless3 answers on google but cudnt get anything. Hope my blog helps some of u.
There are blogs available with direct answers for Klueless1 and Klueless2.
I will try my best to write/reply the hints in a way so that the players won’t need to look for the answers directly.
My 1st blog will be about Klueless3 and later I will be writing the same 2 blogs for Klueless1.
Klueless2 is quite different from 1 and 3. In it you have to play Sherlock Homes and solve a case. As compared to oder 2, I found it bit boring, but rmbr I said “as compared to”, oderwise no Klueless has been boring.
Most imp tip:-
A webpage consist of 4 imp things:-
1. url
2. page title – smthing written after the IE logo on the topmost left corner on screen.
3. source code.
4. the matter u see on webpage…smtimes thr are hidden things too…
So guys here comes my 1st blog.
