A new year... and UG is getting older

Happy New Year to all the folks out there from all in the UG team.... its been six months almost since a group of us decided to start this blog for a college which is right now facing trying times... disappointment,triumph,fear,sadness,glory,victory,defeat,outrageous,plain downright dumb and the incredible... this year has had it all....

As we grow older, here is a solemn promise to make a UG a better blog with more to offer to its readers... dedicated to bringing all our readers the juiciest,strangest,simplest and ofcourse most entertaining material we can share with you...

Hello once again

Some new things to look forward...

Prison Break is getting interesting
Top Gear has a new crazy season...
and ofcourse How I Met Your Mother is getting interesting again

and oh.... Quantum of Solace was released(was it good... a review coming soon)

Owing to the unfortunate incident on campus, news about college is pretty unclear... stay in touch with the blog to know when college will resume...

For fantasy buffs, some authors which you can check out during the break

1) Robert Jordan
2) Christopher Paolini
3) George R R Martin
4) Steven Erikson


Well UG has been missing something since its inception.. so in the interest of mankind we hereby announce the opening of a new poll... who do you feel is the sexiest person in the world today?? Leave your comments on the post... girls and guys step up and dont be shy... lets hear what you have to say

Guess who's back

Ok, if you are browsing this site, then you already know the bad news...

Cyberoam is back... and with a vengeance. We've had a nice time in its absence, freely connecting to the internet, browsing whatever sites we see fit, the works... and someone somewhere has apparently decided that all good things must come to an end... Hence they've allowed Cyberoam to be reinstated. This now means restricted browsing (no social networking sites), no downloading (the client blocks all download ports, so whatever speed we used to get will also disappear) and slower browsing speeds... (although its been pretty fast today, it remains to be seen how long this good fortune will last).

There are ways to get around it though. Try looking for proxy servers (russian ones are known to break through it) or there is a software package called vidalia available on the college LAN (search on DC++, I found it there). This allows things to be sped up considerably, while unblocking all sites. If anyone finds/knows any other way to get around it.. pls post a comment to help us out here...

Indians... Why we are smart

Got this through the mail thought i should share it with everyone(its a true story)


An Indian man walks into a bank in
New York City and asks for the loan officer.
He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business
for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank
will need some form of security for the loan,
so the Indian man hands over the keys
and documents of new Ferrari parked
on the street in front of the bank.
He produces the title and everything checks out.
The loan officer agrees to accept
the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers
all enjoy a good laugh at the Indian
for using a $250,000 Ferrari
as collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then
drives the Ferrari into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Indian returns,
repays the $5,000 and the interest,
which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says,
"Sir, we are very happy to have had your business,
and this transaction has worked out very nicely,
but we are a little puzzled.
While you were away,
we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire.
What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow "$5,000" ?



The Indian replies:

"Where else in New York City can I park my car
for two weeks for only $15.41
and expect it to be there when I return'"

50 and more to Go.......

Why My Hiatus Was Cut Short

Its 1 am. I lie spread eagled bending down to reach the laptop on the floor with me on the bed to write this article(don’t ask y just read on…)

I am confused. Just been through orkut; looking at some mindless communities with "why dont we" phrases and useless issues raked up at the drop of a hat. For what I wonder… it is the quest for this answer which keeps me awake. Y do we talk abt useless things with no solution?

Is it pleasurable or wait… glorifying to write meaningless things and be even more brilliant while commenting and writing a cheesy retort? Where is the sense in all of this…. We complain about a brain drain. Oh sure these communities with baseless posts and arguments(no names to be quoted) are the evidences of the phenomenon. Sure we want to feel honoured maybe happy that we are CONTRIBUTING to society, propogating thoughts, spreading ideas, accepting them, discussing for what????......

It’s a shame that people do this and crib that my country is not a US in the making and the people.. don't get me going on that.... Whats more blame the system, blame this, blame that. Blame the building watchman while ur at it… coz it aint no good folks….

Wake up and become responsible Indians…. JEEZ I have to blog to tell some nuts that

Who am I to say this?? Another person wastin his time to write this stupid discourse to remind people that u make the world around u, based on that the world treats u in return….

Still no sleep… thanks to the people who broke my hiatus.
