Spring Semester

I am feeling sad that this semester about to finish. I am going to miss everyone in my all classes. I really have had really good time this semester. I really like my professors because I think there are the best. Especially Prof. Robert and Prof. Jackson. I am really going to miss their classes. Prof. Robert, he is the best ESL professor I have ever had in my education life. He is so patient and calm. He gives enough time to do work, and the most important thing is he makes the work so spicy and interesting that I love to do some of the activities like blogs. I do like blogs because that way I can improve my writing. If he probably have given the journal writing to write by hand, I probably would not do it, but this one I love to download photoes, etc. I am going to miss Prof. Jackson because he is the best one in his field. He is a attroney. He is the bussiness law professor. He is so funny, he makes you laugh all the time during his class. He is also so easy that make taste so easy to understand. Sometimes he says funny cases of his court which make my day more joyful. I have never missed any classes yet because I especially go to take notes because whatever he asked in the quiz, it is most similarly from his notes. I will also miss my classmates. Thanks you all for making my semester memorable.

Britian's got talent

Britian's got talent is one of my favorite reality show. I have started watching it since last year when my manager showed me one of it clip on youtube. The clip of Signature. I told all my friends to watch this show. I watched this signature video many times with my friends, and all of them became fan of it. I think reality show sometimes work as a fuel because most of the time what happened that during our normal life we sometimes feel lack of confidence, and this reality shows work as fuel to restore our confidence back in our lives. One of my favorite 2009 video is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY&feature=related. and the second one from last year is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaBsshIYT2w. I would suggest everyone to watch this. All these youtube clips are really really good and entertaining.

Stamford Town Center

Stamford Town Center is one of my favorite place for shopping. I went their yesterday with my cousin, sister and mother. We go for shopping every single day since my cousin came from India. We especially went their for his shopping. We went their by bus because I do not drive. I could go with my father, but he is not really patient about the shopping. He does not like when we take long time shopping. I think he needs to understand that women's shopping does take much time because we just can not get the item. I would like to try each thing. Well, I am kind of going off the topic. Let me come on the track, so yaa first we went to Macy's from there he purchased pair of sandal, his sunglasses and a purse for his mother. His mothe especially told me not to buy any other products except for his. She sent me a list of stuff which I have to get it for him. He told me that he wanted it because he wanted to buy a present for his mother for Mother's day and something for father. I could not say no to him. Then we went to Hallmark to buy a signing cards for his mother and father. I loved the cards. Since my sister did not have her lunch, she felt hungry, so we went to Italian Pizza Place where I ate tomato, spinich pizza, and everyone else got cheese pizza on the fourth floor at the mall. I really enjoyed it. We went to Rainblow too shop where I bought kitchen for my purse. We went to Nike to buy his shoes. I really enjoyed a day. I am going for shopping again soon. I really love shopping. It is just my favorite hobby.

Swine flu

Swine flu would have become a global epidemic if the health officials do not take fast decision to find a way. Swine flu have already killed approximately 81 Mexican. It also sprearded in California, Texas, and may be New York. In Mexico, Schools, Museums, etc are being closed becasue this is kind of virus that spread through by people's touch. The virus is a mixed of human, bird and swine influenza. People do not have immunity to stop this virus. Only thing I know is do not hug or kiss anyone, Stay away from the people who does coughing because this virus can spread rapidly through person to person. The outcomes of this virus are high fever, body ace and coughing. Please stay away from the crowd. Do not shake hand with the person who looks sick to you.

Earth Event

Earth Day

Wednesday, April 22, 2009; the student World Assembly club organized the second annual Earth day event at NCC. I am a part of this club. All of our club members had worked so hard to make that event. I felt happy that it went well. I reached NCC around 10 o' clock in the morning. I am Bepin organized the table with the help of Prof. Emigh. Around 11 o'clock, all the members of our club were there. The event started 11 a.m. as the flyers said. We all enjoyed asking quiz question to everyone. We handed a free Earth bags to everyone if they participate in the quiz. We all had planned if someone give two answers correct, we include those contestant into rafal. Prof. Emigh had bought some rafal gifts. The facination part was when the president signed the commitment of ACUPCC. The the important part of the event started which was the documentary by Leonardo DeCaprio, "The 11th Hour." I was amazed by the numbers those people in the documentary talked that we are living in a very difficult situation from where it's upto our activities to make enviroment more sustainable or not.

Memorable day

Today was a great day for me because I went for bowling with my sister and cousin who came from India last week. It was fun. I went for bowling after three and half years. I used to go with my friends when I was in India. After we done bowling, we took walk from Wall-mart to Barnes & Noble, that moment reminded me the day when I was living with my grand parents, and I used to go with my grand-father for walk. I missed him so much. I realized his means to my life after he left me. I miss you "Nana." I became the old person with silly jokes with my sister and cousins. We talked so much about India during our walk. Then, we went to Barnes & Noble to drink Starbuck coffee where we tried the Stuffed Pizza Preztel, which I had never eaten it before. It was delicious. We sat there and talked more. My sisters voice tone raised many times, and I had to tell her to slow it down. Then I got a call from my dad that he was around the area, so I told him to pick us up. When I came home, we watched a Indian Dance show together. It was a memorable day of my life.

Cricket

Cricket is a bat and ball team sport that is first documented played in southern England in the 16Th century. By the 18Th century, cricket had developed to the point where it had become the national sport of England. From the 19Th century, the England led this to most palaces. It started played in overseas in 19Th century. Today, the sport is played in more than 100 countries. It is estimated that more than two billion people watched the last Cricket world cup. It takes whole day to play. A cricket match is played on a cricket field at the centre of which is called pitch. The match is contested between two teams of eleven players each.
In cricket, one team batsman, try to score as many runs as possible without being out, while the other team bowlers and fielders, trying to dismiss the other team’s batsmen and limit any runs being scored. When the batting team has used all its available overs or has no remaining batsmen, the roles become reversed and it is now the fielding team’s turn to bat and to outscore the opposition.

In India, when this matches start, people spend whole day on it. Every where you go you see and hear the commentary. People are crazy about this sport, sometimes two groups fight in each other because of this sport. My favorite cricket team is Australia. I know it sounds strange, but I like Austrain cricketers more than Indian.

Today

Today I had a great day because I went to pick up my cousin from New Jearsey. He came to the United States first time with his classmate. He is going to stay with us for two weeks. I am so exicted. His name is Arham, and he is 12 years old. He is the son of my favorite aunt Nahid. He came here with the his seventy class fellows who went to NASA for some kind of training. He wanted to become an engineer. He is fond of everyone because he is the youngest one. I tell him everytime that your face seems to me a Bear. I once had called him by that name. I love him so much. I still remember the day he was born. I and my sister stayed with my aunt and him when he was born. We played with him one by one. I cried a lot when my aunt put him in boarding school where I can not see him or talked to him frequently. I think she made the right decision to put him in boarding because sometimes kids realize there responsibility after they get alone.
His school name is St.Peter which is the most expensive boarding school in Panchgani. I really like his school because it creates many events for students to explore. I watched his video in which he became a girl in drama. He looked so cute in girl outfit. He always participate in all the activities at school. His favorite sport is cricket, but he also know other sports too. I am going to miss him when he leaves.

Hrithik and Aishwriya

Hrithik Roshan is one of my favorite actor. I became fan of his when I saw his first movie "Kaho na Pyar hai" in 2000. It became superstar over night. His father directed that movie. He achieved many filmfare award for this film. Not only that, he is one of the best actor in Bollywood now. He also worked in many other popular and hit movies like Na tum jano na hum, Dhoom 2, Kkrish, Koi mil gaya, Mission Kashmir, Lakshya and many more. One of my favorite was Dhoom 2 and Kaho na pyar hai. The reason I am fan of his is because he is the best dancer in bollywood.

Many girls cried when he got married with Sussane Khan the daughter of Sanjay Khan who was once an actor. The story of Kaho na Pyar hai was facinating to me is becasue the story of the movie was similiar to his real life love story. When I watched his another movie Lakshya menans "Aim of your life" something that you want madly. I leant that if I really really want something, then I have to work hard to achieve it with trust in myself. I think that movie changed my views about myself.

Dhoom 2 is my most favorite movie because my favorite actress worked with him. Her name is Aishwirya rai Banchan. She also worked him in another movie after this one which was Jodha Akbar, and that one based on Akbar's and Jodha's life. I think Director and writers were trying to show people of India that long time ago people of different religions were getting married or may be tried to remined them about their great love story which people seemed forgotten it a while ago.

Shoplifters

I really do not know why people try to steal. I have seen many people in my store who steals some stuff every time from a bagel to DVD. I was working at the service desk once, and the guy around 40 to 45 came to me. He was on wheel chair. He came to returned some items like blank VCR tapes, DVD and etc. All items worth around eighty dollars, so I returned it. He did not even have the recipt of the product, so I called my manager. He approved it and gave him a store credit. He came back after couple of day with similiar products. Before he came to me I saw him taking some stuff from the selves, so I went to the security and explained that he comes all the time, and take stuff off from the selves and return back to the store. The security took him to the room, and they asked him a question. The strange part of this incident was his mother showed up at the service desk that where is his son? I called the manager, and they brought her to him. I was surprised when I knew that his mother knew what he was doing? I felt bad for them because the security called the cops, and cops took him. Nowdays, this stuff do not surprise me because daily I see people doing wrong.

Math test

Today, I was so exited about my math test of chapter 3 which was about long division and synthetic division, Vertical, Horizontal and Slant asymtotes. I had some confusions with few problems, so I brought them over to the Tutoring center. I waited there for almost half an hour, and I was about to leave, and someone came to help me. When I asked them a problem, he started to think, and he might concluded something and factored the first line. Then he stopped. when I saw that line I figured it out the entire problem, and he was still thinking. I told him that I got it. He was shocked by my answer. This is the third or fourth time that the tutor had problems figuring out. Last time when I went to the tutoring center, and I gave them a word problem, and they replied to me that they also had problems with word problems, and that test I got 83 points. I had never gotten less than 97 to 100 in my math, and I was so disappointed about it. Today, I felt so confident that I will get 100 out of 100 this time because I decided work more by my own than anyones help. I feel bad for some students who might get affected like me.

NCC also offers racitation sessions, but as forward as you go with your classes, these sessions timing decreasing. I can not attend this because the timing does not suit to my schedule otherwise there is no need for me to go to the Tutring Center.

My favorite fruit - Sitafal

My favorite fruit is Sitafal or sugar apple or custard apple. I really like everything which is made from Sitafal. My favorite dessert is Sitafal ice cream. Sitafal contains white custard pulp with many black seed in it. Sugar apple is found in Asia during winter time. Sitafal is good for Ayurveda (Herbal) too. People of my country use this for many things like as a medicine for health. Some people dry the fruit, and they make powder of the dry fruit. Then they make paste of it to put in the hair to kill lices. Many women use this as a hair wash. Moreover, it helps to heal wounds. Not only actual Sitafal, but bark decoction helps to stop diarrhea. Sitafal leaves are good for diabetes. If the patient take a bath in warm water with its leave, it can cure arthritis. There are many other medical uses of this plant. One tablespoon of this powder can cure stomach problems. I really like this fruit very much since my childhood. I had waited for every winter when I was in my country. I really miss Sitafal.

Navratri

Navratri is the Hindu festival of dance and worship. The word Navratri means nine nights in Sanskrit. This festival celebrated for worship of shakti(Durga and Paravati.) This festival usually celebrates in september, october or november. It depends on the movements of the planets. This festival celebrates at nights. The people of this culture celebrate this nine nights and ten days. Everyone celebrates this differently like in Western part of India, Navratri celebrates with the special kind of Garba dance. People put on so much jewelry and heavy clothes. This ritual starts every night nine o'clock to one or two or three o'clock. I really like this festival because I love dancing, and I want to learn all kinds of dances. I was fasinated by this festival since I was in middle school.

Funny

Today when I was coming from my work to home, I took the bus 41. I had waited so an hour to catch this bus because today is sunday. I slided my ten ride card in the fare slot and sat. I saw an old lady front of me, and she was talking to the girl besides me. The girl was going to Bridgeport, and the old lady was telling her that be careful the bridgeport area is not good. Anything can happen that may be somebody steal money from her, etc. The girl replied that she did not have any money, so no one can steal anything. The old lady said people can kill people for money, and that's why she learnt karate. When I heard that I felt laughing. The old lady said she had been learning karate for six years, and she got her black balt a week ago. I could not laugh because I did not want her to embaracced. I know it does not matter with age, but the way she said it most eveyone in the bus felt the same way as me. The girl was smiling too. She said first she got red, then green, and finally black. The old lady said she learnt because if anyone try to rape her she can do karate to protect herself. She said "do not think I am 66, I am strong." While she was saying this she looked at the driver. I really do not know why I felt strange. The whole conversation was so funny and hilarious. I came home, and I could not wait to tell my sister and mother about it. Sometimes people around us make are day memorable such TODAY.
