Addiction !!

i came across this fact from some site that states " every person in this world irrespective of what they are, have some kind of addiction which they cannot overcome" this holds true for everyone and those who do overcome their biggest addiction are like saints.

it also says, Addiction need not necessarily be materialistic or habitual, it can be something very much craved for, or something your subconscious mind cannot let go, sometimes addiction can be towards a person also.

so, i thought to myself. DO i have an Addiction ? answer is simple.. yes.. i have not one but many addictions, which i try to stop for a long time. 

i never get addicted to things people usually get addicted to.. like smoking, drinking etc.. my addiction is a similar kind.. its called the Coffee.. I am so damn addicted to it. no matter, how much i try to stop, it doesn't work at all, to be specific, i am addicted to coffee smell. i just adore that smell too much, that if u have a perfume with coffee scent in it. i would be yours forever.

the mere thought of the smell would make me want a coffee, it doesn't matter what time or where i am, i just need to drink a cup of coffee. and i don't care, how the coffee tastes as long as the smell and color is good. its more like a elixir for me. it necessarily doesn't make me brisk or active after it. i just drink it for sake of my pleasure. 

so recently, i tried to stop it, again. this time i am bit successful, not in stopping it. but reduction of the number of times i have coffee in a day. what i did was, when ever i wanted to drink coffee, i got myself a hot chocolate. so i would drink it instead of coffee. it went on good..

but unfortunately, i got Addicted to the Hot Chocolate now.. 

Just Google it..!!!

the title exactly tells what am going to blog about this time. its the famous search engine/web giant "google". so everyone knows many things about google. whats special that i am going to tell about it.? nothing much different, i am also not an exception in using google for my search/ research purposes. but how much has google changed the whole idea of searching.. well.. most  people now don't say "search for it" instead, its just "google it". so that's how it is. well, its up to its standard, sometime its way beyond it, you can type any word that comes to your mind, and you get At least 1 result matching to it. i did try it with many words, and seriously i did get results for all of them. sometimes, what ever you type, leads to some result. even tried typing my name, and vola! i get results for about 10 pages, for me, who hasn't done much achievements so far and not even a tiny star.so, i wonder there's so much information or crap on net. well, talking to people about google and its use, its so much used that people usually don't even think about things. they just google it, to get answers. so even working of the brain is limited cos of google. so if this is the case, imagine about future generations. they would get dumber, not of thinking even for small things. so people try to use your brain for thinking more than searching in google. atleast something that comes to the top of your head immediately would help much better than simply sitting online and searching everything.. even brain needs some exercise. 

before ending.. many people say God gives us answers for things we don't know, in that case Google is the modern God.

so next time u need answers.. just google it.

Questions and Answers !!!

I am working as a TA this semester in my university. TA basically is an abbreviation for Teaching Assistant, which means i take classes for Undergrad students. I am taking lab course called Bio 1107 for 1st year students here. first i thought it would be a tough time teaching. coz i am no expert in teaching students. i kind of began as a amateur, still am not a pro. but definitely i have improved, and have done a good job so far in this semester.

i now know how tough teachers might have felt about teaching students, even though i find it quite easy, i pity the teachers, who taught me and my classes earlier in school and college. i am lucky that i didn't end up in situations like that. my students are very friendly and also same with me, i am good to them. the lab goes on for 3 hrs and its quite good and fun to teach the students as its a diverse class and attention is to be given to each student in a good way.

you go into the lab assuming that the student knows little about the subject and you teach them the concepts, but sometimes it gets a little tricky, when students ask some questions, which you wouldn't expect with the context of the topic that day. and its awkward sometimes with some questions, whether to answer them or change the topic.

its quite interesting till now, ill keep updating if anything worth mentioning happens in the lab..

Ballroom Dancing !!!

Yesterday, later afternoon, i got a mail from a friend about ballroom dance classes in my campus. I thought it would be quite interesting since i have seen ballroom dancing in many Hollywood movies. so i thought i should give it a try, visit the dance class. when i first entered the big hall in my student union, obviously called the Ballroom. there were plenty of people wandering around inside the room, i was surprised to see these many people, and i thought how can they teach a dance to these many people in a single time. we were first made to stand in a line with boys facing girls and in between us was the instructor teaching us. after a series of steps in a dance style called "Waltz". he asked everyone to find a pair to dance with, and of course it was to be danced with a girl. so i searched for a good looking one to start with, my first pair was an Asian girl from china. she was too short but still was a good dancer. we both managed to dance well, without stamping on each other's foot or falling on someone else, coz many people around us were doing these things. then, after a song we were asked to change partners. then, again my search began and i found a American girl. she was a freshmen (first yr UG in US is called freshmen), she also was a good dancer, though we made some mistakes while dancing. we were talking during the dance and it was good, when asked to change partner i didn't want to.. but had to.. then it went on like that as class proceeded with different steps, different songs, different partners, etc.. and i managed to learn the basics as well as dance with all the girls i wanted to dance with.. it was a good 2 hr class, and at the end of session, i joined the classes and so now I'd be learning this dance for this whole semester, every week a class, i am looking forward to learn the dance and also dance with different girls next time too.. more about this dancing in future, may be with pics too.
