    Gimp- Setting Up

    Gimp is an image Manipulating Program which is Similar to Photoshop in many ways. It is Photoshop but free :) .

    Downloading/Installing:

    You can download it from : http://www.gimp.org/

    The installation process is very easy.............just do whatever gimp says :)
    * Note * : try and not change the installation folder............unless u will still remember the address of it :)

    it should look like this :





















    Setting Up :

    Rescale your toolbox to make 6 options per line, this gives it a nice layout and also gives you more space for making your images

    Look in the toolbox........i.e the window in the right :)

    U need to add tabs in order to use gimp properly and faster.

    Do so by clicking on the "Triangle in the Box" icon  ( see image )









    Click on that then -> add Tab 

    Add the following tabs one by one :)

    1) Brushes
    2) Tool Options
    3) Layers
    4) Gradients

    Then you have made Gimp ready 

    Add these plugin's for helping you with editing images 


    And incase you need more.......you can get 'em from here 

    Congrats! You have now Set up Gimp! :D
    Gimp Should look something like this now ( without the Plugins )


    nEw AuTo FaRe..........

    Thursday, July 1, 2010
    Well, as many of us may or may not know, there has been an increase in the Fare Rates.
    In hyderabad the rickshaw fellow charges anything that comes into his mind ( just saying ) and in pune we had a system of  Multiply by 13 + 6 ( something like that )
    But in mumbai we had a simple system when it came to Paying Rickshaws i.e -1 system. Now The full city is in anarchy because the price has been increased. The fare is now Rs.11 per Meter.
    The Rick fellows have strated making the common people Fools by charging any price they want because we do not know to calculate from the cost given in the metre :(
     I think this pic ( below ) removes all the doubts,
    If I were you, I would take a print out of this and keep it inside my wallet so that no Rickshaw-Wala can make a fool of us :)












    I know this post is very short, but Come on! Someone should have told you this :)

    Govinda Govinda....AACHOOO!

    Tuesday, June 29, 2010


    Ok guys, The title is a bit funny, I admit it but you will laugh when i tell you the whole story.
    As you might know Govinda is what people call Lord Balaji. He is supposed to be the Lord who destroys the sins of the people , etc. His temple i.e the temple where people tell that he sits is called Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, you might know it as Tirupati :).
    One day my family decided to take a trip down to Tirupati and visit the temple. I was very eager and exited to visit that temple cuz it is told that if you wish for anything over there and offer something your wish will come true. I was so eager that I packed all my stuff i.e mp3 player, clothes,etc 2 weeks in advance just to make sure that we reach there on time.
    We first caught a plane to Hyderabad which is about 550;kms from tirupati. Once we reached Hyderabad we stayed there for a couple of days and then we left to Tirupati ( by car ). We visited many temples on the way and stopped at many Dhabas. It took us about 9 hours or so as we took the NH7 and National Highway 18. Once we reached; the area it was already late night, so we decided to stay at a nearby hotel for a night or so.

    Next day, at around 3.30 pm( as we were told that there is too much rush at the temple ) we left by car to Tirupati temple. The area was very well decorated and the rush was a lot! We could not wait in line for 12+ hours of so cuz once we get in, we cant get out, and the guards there were more like pushing the people instead of getting them under control. We decided to some how get some VIP pass or something to the temple. We somehow got the pass by around 2'o clock. Once we got it we were told by that the other groups have not come back yet, maybe you have to wait for 3-4 hrs or so. We all got furious!4 hrs! somehow we kept ourselves occupied( without mobile/mp3 player , etc ). I saw a spider weave 3 webs and then getting eaten up by a bird .At around 900 pm we were told that we can now go inside the temple. I was then hyper, eager and hungry and bored combined ( i know its weird but i was in such a mood ). We then somehow got near the main temple ( where the idol stood ) at around 11.15 or so, but them we were told that we have to combine with the other line ( the line with the people waiting for 12 hrs or so.. ) The rush was too much and i could not feel my legs as i was being pushed front and back. In front my mom was catching my hand and at the back was my dad ( to make sure i don't get lost in the crowd). We had to be in such a position till 9:45 - 10 when we entered the place where the idol was kept. There were some guards standing in front of the line ( as in front of the fence ) and when the people stop there for 8 secs min they are pushed out. At last We reached the place where the idol was kept i.e i was in front of the big tall gold idol. Suddenly i was pushed to the side ( the view of the idol was quite; different now) but there was an Agarbatti ( Fragrance stick used during a Pooja ) in front of my nose, before i could look up at the idol ( look at the idols face ) I sneezed...so the 8 secs i had got over and then i was pushed out. My mom, my dad and all had seen the statue and all....where as I? I just saw the feet and sneezed and my parents started laughing cuz i did not see anything :'( . Thus as the title says , I was just about to pray when i sneezed so " Govinda Govinda.....ACHU!!! ". So if you are planning to go to Tirupati then trust me, either dont have any allergies with agarbattis etc or just watch it on the Computer/TV from your cozy bed/sofa and pray what u want to.. I was so angry after that that i do not feel like going to that temple..... ( its a bit sad and all but come on! i had waited for so many hrs in the line for a sneeze? :@ ).
    Incase you are planning to go to any balaji temple then trust me there is a temple that looks exactly like the original temple but at Pune ( Maharashtra) and there, I was given 15 mins to see the idol and the Prasad? It was as big as the one that came in Tirupati :)
    Just in case you cant go to balaji temple at tirupati, here is one which is in my
    opinion much better :)

    Here is the place location : http://is.gd/cVa2R
    It is marked as " A " afaik......
    Ok
    So thats that

    Bing VS Google

    Monday, June 28, 2010


    First things first, I tried my level best not to sound like a n00b in this post :)

    Ok, As almost everyone know, Google is a search Engine and ranks No. 1 in Popularity and In usage
    No.2 comes Facebook, and so on. Bing on the other hand Ranks 21 in popularity and Even In usage.
    Check this out
    http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/bing.com , and

    http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/google.com

    If you see, Bing looks safer and more reliable than google, well it is not fully true

    Search for anything on Bing ( i mean Web search not image/video ) the results will almost the same as the ones in Google, the only difference you will find is in the ads, the way the links are arranged and the way you preview your links :)

    In Bing you dont always need to click on the Link when u search for something, an arrow appears near the link and when you run your mouse on it, a small preview of the result will appear which is good for people who dont know to use tabs and open in new windows :)
    In Google, There is a short description given below each link, this short discretion though just takes the first line of the page ( even if the first line is an ad :)) ) and does not include the full detail of the page.
    Bing Looks Stylish and is exactly like google but with more features, When we make this the Home page we get the bing search bar on the screen with their logo and some nice pic in the background.
    Google Is not much stylish but there are quite more options when it come's to searching for websites. When we make google our Home page then all we see is Google logo in different ways ( some which are found in Doodle4Google ) with a blank white background.
    In Bing you cannot a WOT safe sign after a link as there is no preview allowed.
    Google allows WOT safe sign which is shown after every result.
    Bing has a separate Wikipedia tab, thus u can check out the wiki page in one click.
    Google searches for wikipedia articles and shows it with the results :)
    Bing ( afaik ) does not save your searches to target you with ads,etc
    Google keeps track of what you are searching and when to target you with ads,etc.

    Even though Bing has such Cons, I like Bing.
    The best part in bing i.e where it is better than google is in the image and video search.  There stuff though have some cons here too.

    Bing Image Search:
    Pros
    All results come in a single page, so no need to scroll down and click on a next page button.
    When you click on a pic it automatically opens it in a new tab where you get the image source preview along with the " Related Images " In the left side of the page.
    The image options like size, layout are shown properly and are more user friendly.
    It usually does not contain any adult pics in the search results ( depends on what u are searching for and the pun's included in your search ;) )

    Cons
    Since all results are shown on the same page, suppose you search for something which has more than 100000+ results and u have scrolled way down, If you by any chance either close the tab or refresh the page, you will have to scroll down again from the beginning :(
    Once you have clicked on a Pic you like, it will open in a new tab/window which has the blog/site preview  where you again have to click on a link which will open a new tab/window where your image will be shown.

    Bing Video Search:
     Pros
    When you search for videos on Bing Video you don't need to sit and read the small description below the video link, like you have to do for google as when you just run your mouse over the result Bing will show a small preview of that video which will be of 5 to 6 secs, So no description needed only video preview :)
    When you click on the link of the video the link is showed in a new page with the Video Window showed there with " Other results" just under the Video window.
    All results are grouped as per pages so that you can keep a track on which page you were last.
    More user Friendly than Google Video Search

    Cons
    Very rarely you will find that the whole video preview and all dont show up and when they do, it will be more than 10 mins to preview each video ( of 5 to 6 secs ) :(
    The " High Quality " option usually causes Mozzila Firefox to halt ( not always but when it does, it becomes annoying :@ )



    Bing Maps

    Pros
    Look good.
    User Friendly
    When you type an area name for directions, your path is clearly visible :)
    The time it takes to load is quite faster than google maps

    Cons
    Incase you do not know an area name but know the city name, it wont give you suggestions about the place or if it does, it is not appropriate.

    But still after all this, due to the way Google has more like made itself famous, it pawns all.
    Google Uses its existing services to help other existing services,
    Like ads in google image search, etc.
    Google Android is more Famous than Microsoft Win 7 phones.
    Google Translate has more languages available than Bing Translate
    The best one, Google and Blogspot, If I wanted to do with Microsoft Widows Live Space's then I would have but then the features offered here( on blogspot) are much better!
    So as you see, Even though Bing has its Flaws it is still like a work in progress.

    I did not include Yahoo, AOL or any site mentioned here because Google and Bing are much better

    compared to any of these and They are more easy to use and more popular :)

    Ok, Leave a comment! And please lemme know if there are any typos in this post :)
    Thanks.

    Bollywood = lame :)

    Friday, June 4, 2010
    Ok.......as a metalhead the things i love doing ( after listen to metal music ) is to irritate bollywood listeners ( then comes Justin Bieber listeners ).
    Well, I have always tried to make people listen to metal instead of bollywood but some people are just too much into it.......... :(


    If you know any bollywood listener you will come to know that

    1) That person will use words like " Fatte!!! (फत्ते ) " " Awesome!! ( they will pronouce it as , aawweesum! or अव्सोम ) "

    2) That person will usually think no end of himself/herself.

    3) He/She will not admit that Bollywood sucks and will try and tease you for listening to metal.



    But still, all people ( other than people above 30 years* ) have to change their genre of music.....in one place you find a person showing the devils horns ( \m/ ) and saying one of the following


    1) Wassup!!!!

    2) क्या  फत्ते  गाना  सुना  आज !!!

    3) I heard a new Akon song tday!! ( \m/ )!!!!!!!

    4) I got a new Justin Bieber album tday! He is so cute!!!yay/yaho! ( \m/ )



    now really, WTF is going on here!!! First of all the devils horns is something made only for Metalheads!!! Not any Bollywood/Poop/rap fan!!

    But back to the topic,

    I had a conservation with a friend of mine ( named as " RF " ) So he/she comes up to me...

    RF: Ae! Prabhav! Have you heard the song called " Pehli nazar" ??
    Me: ya, it sucks.......do you know that it is copid?
    RF: ( like he/she did not hear my reply ) It's so touching na...vert fatte...I love that song....its on my ipod....
    Me: Whats so great on that song! Do you even know  that it is copied?
    RF: I love that song....its not like the gay songs you listen to...
    Me: So you call songs like Tornado of souls and A tout Le Monde gay? you suck....
    RF: Ok wait...That song is very good and with <> in the song, it was so sweet! I felt like crying ;)
    Me: What should i do if an actor looks cute? you said that the song fatte.....so what does the look of the actor have to do with the song?
    RF: Please! The song sounds very original! and very sweet also.....can you think of a song like that? The lyrics are so original..
    Me: Stop!!! The lyrics are written by a lyricist and given to a music composer...who puts the words to music.....So you are in love with the lyricist not the  composer.....
    RF: Why can't you admit that some songs are better than your - Heavy metal :P
    Me: Cuz the only thing that can go with metal is classical that too metal and ya come to my place for 5 mins i will show u a video of the song that was the original " Pehli nazar me "

    So I took RF to my house showed this video
    I waited till the song got over and this was RF's reaction
    RF: Hey!!! They Copied Pehli Nazar Me!!!! These japaneese people have nop other job or what!!!
    Then suddenly RF left my house....forgetting the main reason of comming...
     

    Now you tell me, I listen to composers like A R Raman because he still had originality, and his songs were some what tolerable to hear......but i also listen to Metallica , Iron Maiden , Megadeth along with western classical like Yanni etc, and even i know that bollywood is a combination of many wannabe's and copy cats etc. These people here ( like RF ) have no interest in other genres for some reason....and only want their Fatte Bollywood songs....
    When I tell people " I don't listen to bollywood" They say " You listen to Hollywood?" then i reply " No, I listen to a genre of music called Heavy Metal" They just look at me with a blank face.


    Metal is not hollywood!!!! :@

    Now After the Music comes the annoying 10 minutes dance during the moive. And incase you donno, you can actually complain about the laws of physics with your teacher with example of bollywood and get 100 out off 100 in the marksX-)

    Here is another song which people found Fatte, and  that too they told me " You listen to metal na? Here is a song/video that you would love!" and play the song " Dil Kare" From  " All the Best ".
    I can admit that the song ( compared to the other songs that released that time ) is quite good but come on!!! The video is plain hilerious!!!
    Here is the video link :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr1wVRQT6iA
    I would recomend that you read what i have written and watch the video at the same time :)

    1) how can a guitar be thrown in a vertical direction not
    tilt while landing on the players hand that same
    way!!!!
    2) Where is the guitar cord ( the wire which connects
    the guitar to the amplifier)
    OMG!!!!! What a “fatte” guitarist!!!! ?
    3) Okok, I can understand SANJAY DUTT is the
    drummer and all, but who is playing the drums after
    (1:25 mins)??? Is there is ghost!!!!!
    OMG!!! How ““fatte””!!!!!!
    4) After (1:39) a “fatte” solo stats where the guitarist
    is playing the guitar the wrong way because in a
    guitar the highest chords/nots are heard near that
    hole and the lowest at the top end of  the guitar!!!!
    What happened to the GK!!!!!!!
    5) How come SANJAY DUTT, Fardeen Khan and Rohit
    shetty have the same voice!!!!!! OMG!!!!! How
    “fatte”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    6) Similar to point (3), where is the drummer in 3:00
    mins!!!!!!!
    7) If u see it from 3:12 you can argue with your science
    teacher for giving you less marks in the various laws
    of physics( I am talking about the relevant laws :-P )

    I think u might have understood what I am trying to
    say  ? :)

    Now If you are a director or planning to become one, here are some rules you will have to follow ( reference)

    1. The story must be about romance. No questions. To
    give the villagers who watch these movies a twist, try
    adding as many love triangles as possible, and even love
    rectangles, if more than two actors are in the film. Love
    dodecahedrons may be a possibility. 
    2) Shah Ruk Khan or anyone from the Khan Family should appear in the movie bare chested, or the movie will become a flop and there will be protesters on the street.
    3) Each Actor has to appear in the movie with atleast 9 different hair styles.
    4)Every movie must have 10 songs. each needs to be a
    minimum of 10 minutes In the corresponding videos,
    Sharook Khan must raise his hands in the air as if to hug
    noone in particular but everyone in general, followed by
    curling his eyebrows in unusual positions (triangular
    positions are highly favorable, to remind the audience of
    the numerous love triangles) followed by running his
    finger inexplicably through his hair.
    5)The movie should be either similar or a copy of a book/hollywood movie bcuz original stuff here suck.
    6) Characters must for reasons unknown have their
    clothes changed and location changed during songs. This
    is to signify that a change has occurred in the day. Ie.
    day to night.There is always supposed to be a time and
    place for each ““fatte”” songs words
    7) SInce you have paid for the freakin songs you have no idea other than to bore the audience with such songs which again has no relation with rules of physics
    (see this video, too funny :) and explains the above points clearly..)
    8) You dont need to take up science as a subject ( espicially physics) bcuz the viewers wont know the difference.. and will try the " Stunts " in public, try and sue you, then come to know that India does not allow suing ( some conditions are to be fulfilled ) when they loose all their money by to buying a lawyer, this in turn will make your face (the director/producer) come on each newspaper along with the movie name, so free publicity :)

    So Here you go, here is bollywood the way everyone knows it,
    Oh ya, BTW if u are going to complain to physics about
    the laws of physics and all , dare not include my
    name!!!!!!! but mention my blog  :)

    I have put a * above 30 years old bcuz it is told that people who have been listening to which ever music when they were  below 30 will not change their genre after 30 years and will find interest in jazz music ( which is also a good genre btw )


    Sorry if there are any typos :)
    LEmme know if there are any changes to be made in this post and please leave a comment on how u found this post :)

    DAMN YOU STUPID TYPOS!!!!!

    Thursday, June 3, 2010
    Typos!!!! i hate the fact that, everytime i try and type something, I type something which has a totally different meaning!! When ever i type something, i have to read the sentence 10 times to check for typos, ( trust me, even 10 times is not enough :) ), here is one example, If i am chating with someone and showed him a link to some music video, and he says " this music sucks!!!" I will want to type " Are you deaf? " it might turn out to be " Are you dead? " as " D " and "F" are near each other on the keyboard. These things ( as u can see ) have 2 separate meanings!!!! But in one way, these are insulting but also funny :)) . Next comes some spellings i dont know properly, I usually type a sentence and wait for spellcheck to correct me :) as i am too poor when it comes to spellings. If i am chatting with someone, there will be many  " * " in all my sentences. Here are the words usually misspelled ( most are misspelled by me )
    Leave a comment and also mention some typos/ spelling mistakes you always make  :)
    ( this article might not be " good " but , commin its my first post, i will have to used to blogging now :) )
    common*
    See!!!! :-/
