#93 UNHCR

The UNHCR is the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and soemthing that I am pretty keen on. So what is UNHCR? I guess thats a pretty obvious thing, its a UN agency that works towards the goodwill of international refugees.

How Can You Help?

It doesn't take much. There are numerous ways you can get involved to help raise funds for and awareness of refugee issues and the work of the UN Refugee Agency.

• Make a donation today that directly translates into more refugee children attending school, new shelters for refugees and vital protection assistance.
• Help us raise awareness about the plight of refugees.
• Interested in working or interning with UNHCR?
  
• You still have questions? Contact us.

Your support will make a difference.

Thank you!

I guess, as a student I can make my best attempt towards the second function, Raising Awareness.... thats what I hope I am able to do via my blog.

If you want to join me in my mission, just "Comment" on this blog and I'll join you up. Hoping to do some goodwill!!

Obviously inspired by Angelina Jolie

#92 Some Changes Here and There

New looks, new colours, new schemes thats what my blog has been upto of late.
Blue is the colour of the day, of the month, of the year, of life!

A few strange pics here and there and people start questioning me, "is that you"? Well thats how bad I look :( Sadly Though.

Changes are welcome.... and last few months have gone through change.... my email id, my chat id, and my orkut profile that I made a new one....

With my project almost about to get over.... I still havent done the transient analysis, just done the steady state one....

None the less.... my blog has seen 5000+ visitors.. though most of them have been by me myself and romz....

Lets see!

Bargaining in Mumbai -- To the tune of 50 paise

Everybody loves the outcome of a bargain. "Aap bhi khush, hum bhi khush". That is the case with bargaining. Whether it is Delhi, Kolkata or Mumbai or whatever, you just bargain, and you can bargain a lot, if you know the market trends. Last summer I bargained a leather belt and got it for 90 bucks, when the initial quote was 450 bucks at Delhi's Palika Bazaar. Even last month, got to bargain a lot on the streets on Mumbai while shopping with Roshnai and Suma.

But whats a bargain after all?? It happened so....
I was coming home in an autorickshaw. When I was to pay the fare, the meter read 26 rupees. I had 25 rupees change and also a 5 rupee coin. The rickshawala dint have 4 rupees change to give me back. I asked him to take just 25. Generally they dont mind. But he said "saab aap mera ek rupiya kyun le rahe ho..?", I said "thik hai fir kya karun?". He took my 5 rupees coin and went somewhere, came back after some minutes and gave me 4 rupees change. I accepted that, as it was fair. As I was turning around to go back, he said, "saab, ek toffee lenge? main chutte karane gaya toh do toffee le aaya, ek aap khaiye" !!!!

So effectively I bargained 50 paise!!

I Need A Vacation Damn IT!!

I need a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Highly

Since the last six months I have been working working working working without a vacation, nor a break! ITs hell, I just want to go home and sleep sleep sleep sleep!
Its been a long time, and even the rains have dissappeared for who knows why. It was such pleasant atmosphere some days back, and now its all gone, Leaving me stressed again!

Can vacations and peace be bought? I wish it was so.... but I think its better to come the way it comes!

I am Back!

Hi ppl, I just had been to Pluto, you know far away, on the outer reaches of the solar system.... I am just back.... Verrrry sorry for not giving you the regular dose of my head banging hard hitting frustrating blogs! Anyways, so here I am!
Pluto is a cool place man, the Sun can hardly reach there, and guess what there are no humans there absoltuely no humans.... The entire journey took more than two months, but it was splendid! You 'MUST' visit it once in a lifetime.

Anyways.... stories and fantasies apart, no justification or story telling about my past whereabouts, all I know now is where I am and what I am doing!
I am back home in Mumbai, not "Home" though, me doing a project at IITB and the place is superb especially in the rains.... its just begun raining, and the atmoz cool! Super Cool!
So my project is on Distributed Generation of electricity, more specifically "Analysis of Microturbines", pretty technical!

Raddoz is here, what else do I need??
