Semester number 4!

I can't believe it! Another semester is about to begin. (Which is the 4th semester by the way and which also means that half of my 3 year course is over and the next half starts).
Starting tomorrow, actually today since it's already 12'o clock, my new semester starts.
This means another 6 months of lectures which are sometimes boring- sometimes fun, all time crazy!

The subjects for this semester seem varied. It includes photography, so there is every reason for this semester to be good! I'm also looking forward for "Introduction to Advertising" which I hope and pray should be taken by my HOD.
But this is no reason I won't be blogging or being away from webby!
So time for bed and time for 6 months of crazy stuff!

(P.S. I hope the assignments are good this time!)

For changing the bumper sticker!!!

My previous post was on why Asterix should be awarded a nobel prize if Obama is awarded one. This post gives you a funny take of the same, only minus Asterix. Some really kick ass funny pictures and comics on the Bam Bam Obama! and his precious!

Let us start with the pictures...(Please click to enlarge)

Now the comics...

A Medal before the race!

I suppose by now we all know that Barack Obama has won the nobel prize. A day after it was declared there was a very nice article in Mid-day by Abhijit Majumdar.
Here it is....

According to the official Nobel website, Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, got this year's Nobel Prize "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".

Fair enough.

But then why has another man, two years older than Obama and just turned 50 the other day, been ignored?

Have the efforts of Asterix the Gaul been anything less than extraordinary to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples? What has Obama done that Asterix hadn't already outdone?

Obama is supposedly the champion of the underdog. But Asterix, leading his tiny Gaulish village with his burly friend Obelix and Dogmatix (an underdog if there was ever one), has held out against the mighty Roman Empire.

Okay, the Gauls have been a bit harsh with the Romans a few times & may be they've pasted the Romans unprovoked or entirely for fun a couple of times, especially in that forest where Obelix goes to look for menhirs.

But there are still thousands of US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, right?

Also, if Obama has been graceful enough to extend the olive branch to Iran and the Islamic world, Asterix has been noble enough not to compete at the Olympic Games after downing druid Getafix's magic potion. While on olive branches, Asterix got one from his arch enemy, the baap of olive branches, Julius Caesar himself.

Must we also ignore the international cooperation that the tiny, mustachioed man promoted in Europe by helping Spain, Britain, Goths and others against a rampaging Rome? The ungrateful ladies and gentlemen from these lands on this year's Nobel committee have a lot to explain on why they backed Obama.

If the degree of fear one invokes in enemies is a criterion of greatness, I would like to know how many from Kandahar to Palestine or Cuba to Moscow would play a game of musical chairs to decide who's going to spy on much less attack the US? The Romans always do, and kick the weakling off to spy on the Gauls. Ask a chap called Caligula Minus.

Some would argue that certain environmental violations would go against Asterix. His friend does a bit of quarrying for menhirs, and the Gauls tend to over-hunt wild boars. Does that even compare to Americans over-fishing the cod in New England, its heavy carbon footprints (the US has 4 per cent of the world's population but produces about 25 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions)?

Has Obama done anything about the shattering noise pollution in US cities? Asterix and his bunch might be raucous, but at least they diligently gag and tie-up Cacophonix before every feast, celebration or farewell.

And Asterix has better taste. If Obama has checked out the butt of Mayara Rodrigues Tavares, a Unicef representative from (where else) Rio, Asterix has sized up the rarest rear that of the great Cleopatra.

Bottomline: Nobel for Asterix. Till then his fans won't sleep in peace.

Abhijit has drawn out the comparion beautifully.
I loved the article! I hope you do too.

Edit-HTML Surgery Task 1 rebuked!

Well Well.........Now the thing is that, this template is great and it was suiting me perfectly. I even got my widgets properly arranged to suit this template.
But the only problem I'm having with this template is that if I post any picture it will be cropped to adjust to the narrow length of the pad. And if I don't select crop then half of the picture goes out of the pad and only half is visible. Now this is something which I wish shouldn't have happened. I was really getting well adjusted to the template and liking it too.
So now I have to quickly look out of another template......
So I guess task 1 has to be started again! Bah!

P.S.: - I had been to Matheran last week....Detailed post coming soon.

Messy Pad

Edit-HTML Surgery Task 1 complete!
After surfing 1000's of blog templates and finally downloading 102 of them and selecting one was not so quick a task. But it was really fun. I have finally settled on the templates "Pad-Mess" by www.deluxetemplates.com. A lot has changed on the blog with me using this template. I will have to get back my previous blog elements to make it feel home again.
I'll try this template for some time and see if it serves my needs. If not then it will be time for template hunting again.
Final task of my Edit-HTML Surgery is getting back all the gadgets and widgets.

Cosmetic surgery? Nah! An "Edit-HTML" surgery!!!

Operation "Edit-HTML" Surgery

I have suddenly noticed that the look of my blog leans towards the darker side.
So I guess for I change I would alter the layout a bit and try to give a bit of a lighter appeal.
Well...so the next time you are going to visit my blog its going to be different!!!

So its time now for good layout hunting!!!
