The Life

2006-06-25T15:45:00.000+09:00

June is supposed to be month of summer vacations......... a time when each student ought to be relaxing at home ........ in front of his/her coolers n fans ............ gulping down 'shikanjis' n 'neembu paani'...........trying to beat the suppressing heat of the summer. but goin by the newspapers this doesn't seem to be case with the delhities.

everyday i can see the pics of long queues of students in the scorching heat........ mind u - these queues r not fr movie tickets outside a pvr but fr getting admission forms fr different colleges under delhi university. there is a mad scramble fr limited no of seats . the cutoff percentages r soaring each yr. the students with percentages in higher 90s r worried abt getting a course of their choice in a college of their choice, those wud lower percentages r hopeful of making to any of the decent colleges...... everybdy seems pretty concerned. u can see this distress on the faces of their parents. the familiar question heard these dayz has been ' mere bete ka admission kahan hoga'.

fr people in the science stream - also goin on r the entrance exams of various institutes- iit,nsit,aieee,medical n so on((i have not qualified for any of them:) )). people hv put in a lot of effort over last 2 yrs or even more.....juggling with both - board exams on one hand n these entrance exams on the other.

life has become very fast n too competitive. u can see the small kids with those backbreaking bags . when it shud hv been the time fr playing with the neighbourhood kids in fields these kids r huddled together in a tution class... when they shud hv been sitting in the lap of their grandparents n listening the stories abt angels they r sitting on their study table -mugging fr a test scheduled a few days later..... when they shud hv been watching the antics of the birds in the sky they r reading abt animals getting extinct on the planet earth. getting up early fr the school, coming frm school only to go fr the tuition classes n then goin to their study desks - seems to hv become a laborious routine fr them. cant really blame the parents fr tht . the career life has taken a ascendence over the personal life. so people r ready to sacrifice today fr the pleasures of tomorrow.

sometimes the life's experiences can be described in 3 simple words - life moves on. the time which has passed is gone n cannot be retrieved. so rather than just thinking abt the big achievements u r goin to accomplish in future one shud savor the small light moments of today. it does help to be concerned abt ur future but this concern shud not be allowed to wipe out one's present. Life is not JUST about a few big moments , but ALSO about a million small ones.

How to get through an IIM

2006-06-25T15:36:00.000+09:00

i got this post as an email and i thought of sharing it with u all.
It starts like this......

there r 3 kinds of people i know
- the people who are already doing their mba or hv completed it. i wud request these guys to share sum of their experiences, strategies n other gyan.
- the aspirants, who want to make it big......
- the junta who is uninterested in doing mba. these people shud just sit n watch with great amusement, how a simple exam of maths, english n reasoning can be made complicated thru application of various game plans n strategies....:).

well frnz, the title may be a bit misleading. This is certainly not a key to crack CAT n get thru a good B-School. this is just a portion of my experiences with this exam, considering the fact tht i went thru this ordeal 3 times including the leaked one...:).

VA section

RC- u shud make it a habit to read newspaper daily. n reading newspaper means going deeply into various events happening in different sectors like politics, finance, sports n so on. reading newspaper means reading 'Hindu' rather than just browsing the glossy n scantily clad models in DT section of TOI. This wud not only build good understanding of various kind of topics, also improve the reading speed. later during the GD/PI portion it is certainly going to help a lot. if u dont hv a habit of reading this transformation can be a bit painful but it is certainly going to help in the long run. dont waste time on reading fiction...... thts generally useless, unless provided u r an avid reader.

RC section tests :
Take up a regular RC section test.smthing like (30 mins 5 passages),target shud be to attempt 4 passages. 3 passages thoroughly + easy qs from 1 passage.(if u think ur better thn that ..target 5 passages..u can tone down targets depending on the kind of passages/diffculty level/type of qs etc). u will most probly be leaving 1 passage(look at the passages first ..lengths,glance thru content ..decide which u will leave.(maybe first 1 min for it..) alternatively if a pssage looks very easy jump ahead and do it(better). for each passage u attempt....get a hang of the passage and a general idea abt wht is being talked abt in which section of the passage.Go ahead to the qs.If any answers seem very evident mark it.Else go back to the part of the relevant para -re-read it slowly try to identify the answers.u shudnt be taking more thn 8mins for any passage.So 8*3 = 24..remainng 6 mins pick up the passage out of remainng 2 which looks esier/has more direct qs..try to read the qs and pick the answers.Simple isnt it??!If u read qs first..since u generally dont know wht the passage is abt u wont be able to relate to the qs.2.If u read the passage thorughly once b4 attempting qs...it is a waste of time..cos thr may be tough sections in the passage which u pored over and absoloutely no qs abt....many of the answers might be fairly direct and cud be picked up ina rough reading...u go back to the passage only if u absolutely need to.Usually wht happens is..u will complete a passage in abt 4 mins ..read qs..then hv to again go back and read parts of the passage cos ur not sure of the answers.this is total timepass.

vocab - this is one of the most over estimated portion of CAT exam. cat do not ask directly vocab related questions. but sumtimes u need to hv a good vocab to hv a better understanding of passage. start with norman lewis n then move on to Barron. try preparing ur own flash cards with arnd 20-25 words written on each card. try to relate words with something to improve the recall. Eg. relate word 'bacchanalia' to amitabh bacchan to improve recall its meaning of being drunkard. carry those 'word cards' (TIME issues them.. or still better u can make them urself!),

verbal ability - parajumbles shud be attempted by finding out the suitable link b/w two sentences . try to find a sequence of 2 or more sentences n then eliminate the choices. try to find if a pronoun is used fr a noun used earlier. The other way would be to take a holistic view of all the sentences and try to arrange them in your head, till it sounds right. Although this is tough, it takes a little time to get used to, but it will help in getting a higher accuracy level.

Arranging the 6 sentences type :
It is actually easier when the 1st and 6th sentences are given as now you have more ways of solving the jumble.Since the 1st sentence is given, it is not always tough to find the next sentence as it will logically follow. Use this method and then again go on an elimination spree.Also, the 6th sentence is given. Once you get the flow of the sentence, to guess the preceding sentence is not again too very tough. So all you have to do is battle with the 3rd & 4th which again should fall in place once you have guessed the others right.

grammar -its not necessary to hv a detailed knowledge of grammar. u do not need to know abt gerunds n other similar sounding stuff( i do not know abt them till today). just try to hv a decent understanding of various grammar sections i.e. where to place an article n which article to place. the basic grammar knowledge helps in finding the correct/incorrect sentences

How to tackle reservations

2006-06-23T17:09:00.000+09:00

In the reign of her royal bitchiness, Indira Gandhi, personal and corporate income taxes for people who actually earned money were raised to between 70 and 90 percent. When it becomes infeasable to succeed(I mean, for god sakes, what's the point of making money if the government is going to take it all), what the great indian people have done then is to instututionalise cheating. The government has as it is said that the laws of the land and constitution can be disobeyed, whoops, I meant amended with wild abandon, so why should we be far behind.

Anyhow, to the point. In a similiar vein, as tax evasion was instututionalised in one Gandhi's time, caste fraud probably will be institutionalised in her Daughter-in-Law's reign. Here's the deal. When the marginal cost of forging a caste certificate (in terms of both economic and moral/legal cost) becomes less than the marginal benefit of actually getting a seat in college, something that is most definitely about to happen, when reservations become 50% of seats, it becomes economically rational to forge a certificate for yourself. As more and more people start getting a fake certi, the market for the industry will grow, resulting in cheaper and more widespread availibility of fake OBC certificates, made even easier by the fact that there is no definitive list at the center for what an OBC is. At any rate, this is all just feasability. The point is that you're going to have another Telgi for OBC certificates, and I would fully advise it. Instead of protesting within your constitutionally provided rights to a government who doesn't give a flying fuck about the constitution, play with their own tactics. When you can't win, cheat. When enough people get an OBC certificate, you recreate merit, albiet with an added layer of corruption. In one scenario, some government will realise that this has happened, and things aren't exactly working out, and will roll back the reservations, as is what happened with the prohibitive personal income tax policy. Alternatively, a new merit system, where meritious "OBC" candidates will compete with fake certis will be created. Such is life.

At any rate, when you come down the the practicality of it all, reservations aren't going to help the people they want to help, and the people of our good land, much used to a government interested in screwing them over, will discover new ways to cheat that very governement. At the end of the beaurocracy and government, everyone's pleased because there's an added layer of corruption with with they can line their pockets.

Sorry for being a bit cynical about it, but at the end of the day, that's pretty much that.

Why Exams?

2006-04-20T14:42:00.000+09:00

We really hate exams. We don't understand the purpose of exams. Why don't those guys believe that we relish knowledge. So testing us for that is an assault on our pride.

Exams test for knowledge. But what are they exactly testing for: generalisations or facts. I believe memorizing facts is waste of resources and time. So the exams should not test particular knowledge, rather it should be a test of whether a person is sufficiently intelligent to generalise the knowledge. I believe exams should employ some practical means to achieve this. Give us a project and let us work on that. But please don't assign grades on the projects. We are the best judges of our work and know its worth.

Appeal: Ban the exams

On Behalf of all people like me,
Ravi

Puppy!

2006-04-20T14:22:00.000+09:00

Lesson
Nobody's prefect... Oh I mean perfect.

Puppy!

This is the story of my friend, actually, an autobiography in a different trend, in his words what happened in his life and how so I think I should start off now.

I love nature and all its creatures..I love everyone and all their features. Once I wanted to savor the natural beauty and a stroll through the forest made my heart fruity. Going through the forest I saw a small cute puppy with a broken paw..The poor animal crying in the grass-bed so I kicked the dumbo right in its head. 'Oh! What have I done?' I cried and soonafter the puppy died. Now I knew I was in trouble and a police case would make it double.

What should I do god, O great giver...So I threw the mutt in the river.I was so scared at this time maybe someone witnessed the crime. Just then, I heard some noise and turned around to find some boys, looking at me with staring eyes... Well, sneaking on me was not nice. So I went close to where they were.

'No no!..We didn't see anything Sir!'

But,I had to,so, I took out my gun and shot the brats one by one! Hearing the noise their parents appeared and they would complain to the police I feared. So the gun did some more work for the day and without waiting I skipped away. I killed exactly 13 people and a dog and walked slowly in the fog, just then , I saw the same puppy again,
had my kick gone in vain ?'

No Dear! It was the Ghost of the pup which had come to bang me up! But I was still the boss, you know coz I'd learnt 'Tantrik Vidya' long ago. So I applied my knowledge against the ghostand I did something to hurt it the most! I smacked it and put it into a jar which I had got and threw the ghost jar in the shitpot!

Years passed and my life changed everything transformed from disordered to arranged. I sang, danced, and played really awesome guitar and sooner than I knew, I was a pop star. Then, After 17 years,police came to me to enquire about the dog's body found in sea.
'But I threw it into the river!' in my mind thought'

Rivers go into the sea', In geog. I had been taught. But I had wiped off all proof related to the killing game... They still found me, even though I'd changed my name. Hail! O Hail to the modern forensic technology, they dug out the truth from 17yr old mythology. So it was simple to kill the policemen, What was to happen was clear then! Through plastic surgery I changed my face and closed the file to the dog murder case.

Slowly, I became more popular then ever, it was my talent and I know I'm clever. No one ever found out that I was the killer and this is the end to this thriller! Hence, I advice, never kill anyone not for revenge not for fun. I don't want to create any more suspense coz I think this post's stopped making sense.

So stop reading get back to work fulfill your duties and don't shirk(duties)! Grow more plants and plant more trees, and help the poor creatures,give a home to the bees! I know You're curious to find out who's my friend I'm tellin you about well, don't let your mind go too far its dear Michael Jackon the star.

If (you noticed something) Then
"Some people do the reverse... I choose to be differnent"
Else
"Forgive me.. Just an arbit post!"
End if

There's no cure for..

2006-04-06T22:30:00.000+09:00

Once upon a time there was a contest, the Mr.Disease contest, which judged the best and the most powerful disease amonst all. Everybody had come, heartthrobs like AIDS, TB etc. Then there were different cancers; blood, lungs, skin. They all really looked nice. Not to forget Mr. Heart-Problems. There were small and mediocre ones like cold, cough, headache who had also come, although I don't think they had much chance of winning. But one thing to say, they were surely optimistic. And in the end came Mr.Old Age(budhaapa), quietly, unnoticed. In the audience were bacteria, fungi, virus and many more. They all had a great party and then the competition began.

I'm sure you might have guessed who won the competition by my style of mentioning it. Anyways, the competition consisted of a round where every contestant had to come up on the stage and say a few words in their praise. Whoa! I say modesty. So all the big ones came first and exalted their actions and narrated different stories exhibiting their mights. In the end came Mr.Old age. He was a huge, dark, ugly person. This is the story he narrated:

--

Once in a city lived a very intelligent doctor. He was respected and honored for his practice in the medical field and had his own style of tackling ailments. One day an old man, white hair, wrinkled skin, bent back came to him and said
"Doctor. I am facing a problem. Please help me out"
"What is your problem ?"
"Doctor, I cannot see very well. Everything is blurred. Please help me", said the old man.
"To diagnose a problem, we first find the root cause and then try to cure it.."
The doctor pondered for a minute and said
"As far as I think, this is due to old age and I'm sorry but we have no cure for old age."

The old man was disappointed.
"Okay doctor. My knees pain a lot, I can't even walk properly. What is the cure for this ?" said the old man.
"To diagnose a problem, we first find the root cause and then try to cure it.."
The doctor thought and said,
"As far as I think, this is due to old age and I'm sorry but we have no cure for old age."

He was even more disappointed this time..
"My digestive system has become very weak. Earlier I used to eat everything. Now I can't digest food. Can you give me some medicine?" said the old man.
"To diagnose a problem, we first find the root cause and then try to cure it.."
The old man was getting irritated by this dialogue but the doctor wasn't....Again he said,
"As far as I think, this is due to old age and I'm sorry but we have no cure for old age."

Now the old man was really vexed.
"Okay doctor my head feels heavy all the time. How can this be dealt with ?"
He feared the doctor would say his favourite lines again and it came true
"To diagnose a problem, we first find the root cause and then try to cure it.."
The old man was getting red....
"As far as I think, this is due to old age and I'm sorry but we have no cure for old age."

"Shut up! You stupid ass!" said the old man..
"Who calls you a doctor ? You know nothing and have no cure for anything. You are a useless person and everybody says he is a good doctor. They are all fools. Get lost, I don't need your medicines..."
Suddenly the doctor interrupted,
"Ohhh! You have become so irritable and cranky. This certainly is due to old age and I'm sorry but we have no cure for old age."
--

There was a huge applaud in the whole auditorium. So now everybody knows who won. If sensory interactions happen to be all the source of pleasure, then wait until Mr.Old age gets hold of you and slowly, gradually devours your senses. And remember there's no cure for it.

Is Internet eating away your TIME????

2006-03-29T19:16:00.000+09:00

I was reading wired and came across an article which says that.. a lot of americans use the internet just for fun. It made me think of internet in general and how i started using it . It was some 4-5 yeras back and i had used it only to search information , scientific articles or read episodes previews of startrek. Now, a great deal of trivia has penetrated internet .Chatting ,porn, blogging and online gaming sites which steal away our time.

Internet is a waste of time , if used casually and you might never know how much time you would spend on it. Internet addiction is a serious thing .. If you're addicted to the internet , you would spend hours on the internet increasingly to while away your time or just to hang out.It might be worthy to decide on how much time you would spend on a computer when you are hooked on to the web.

One of the earliest uses was to send and receive emails. Now, Instant messaging has hooked most people to their computers ,where they type messages instead of using traditional means of communication such as a telephone or letters which were popular for over a century.

I think that internet is a tool and is of great help if used wisely and can be a waste of time if we use it aimlessly . It had helped me a lot in reseaching things which would have been impossible otherwise.

There is a considerable debate on whether goverments should regulate the web or not if you think of china as an example. china has banned websites which depict content unsuitable for children. It had also banned many websites and asked search engines to not show any banned results on its website if you seach in china. Google has dropped some entries from its search results and complied with the chinese goverment. Other countries are considering banning websites which might be unsuitable for certain age groups.

What do you think of Internet in general ? Do you think there should be control of information people should see or it should be allowed to all irrespective of their age,location and status?

Matters of the ages

2006-03-27T22:28:00.000+09:00

Contrary to standard human thought,

d(Age)
------- = -1
dt

and the boundry conditions are difficult to be determined.
_______

Age at death

If a person is born on 30th Dec 2004 and dies on 2nd Jan 2005,then the person is reffered to as(2004-2005)

Hence the reader gets the impression that the person who died was one yr old.What a big blunder.

There are 2 ways of out this.
1.
(2004.997267 - 2005.005479) approx
(fractions calculated considering 2004 as leap)
(365 / 366 = .997267 and 2 / 365 = .005479 )

2.
Everyone must die on their birthday itself.
Therefore the age will be integral at time of death.

Hence we could write
(2004-2005) and this will now signify the correct date.

At this point I remember a quote from my friend alto(person not car)

"Always stay alive" - Alto

_________

Birthday Theory

According to this theory-
'1 person has 2 birthdays in 1 year'

Proof:
Let us consider that today is 26th Aug
Let us say you were born on 13th March
So its been around 5 months since your birthday..
AND
in less than 7 months you will have your birthday again
(you could verify this yourself)

One year = 12 months
and 5<12 and 7<12 therefore
you have your birthday twice.

A Unique Problem

2006-02-18T22:57:00.000+09:00

I am facing a problem I don't think anyone has ever faced before. It all starts with my exams. The problem is that I have to study but I dont want to. And now I don't know what to do! Imagine! Have you ever even heard of something like this before ??

I feel studying is so boring! Sorry for sounding so absurd but I speak out what I feel. I know Im random.

I have been doing extremely well in my papers the whole year. I've been doing so well, I ought to jump in a well!

I have a total of 27 / 70 currently and the highest is 67!(Cama mera aim hain tujhe harana)
Wow! I think Im gonna top this course.(Neeche se!)

After reading this post, someone is sure to say,
"Huh! Ullu de pathhe! yeh bhi koi problem hui ??"

Hey my boards are up....

Amazingly enough, a chill ran through my spine and spread around through my body including my knees(brain)...

So now! Im as chill as frozen.(Thats my Yahoo! status currently!)

I don't seem to care about the papers that approach at the speed of light and my attitude remains "Chill maar yaar! Yeh to ho jayega!" and now I have no idea what fate has for me .

Proclaiming load "Oh man! I haven't studied anything!" before the exams is the most diplomatic and safe statement to make.
If you get low marks, you didn't study. d(Ego) = 0 in this case.
If you get good marks, you're a born genius and you get marks without you knowing it.
d(Ego) is positive and very large in this case!
('I guess I dont know my own intelligence' case)

BUT!
There are some times, you actually haven't studied and are destined to get low marks.
Everyone around is saying "Yaar! I haven't studied".. Even the max. maggus...

Q.What do you do then ???
A. Ravi's Solution

Chidiya kauvva kya maarte ho
Jo leni zindagi kee feel
Chidiya kauvva kya maarte ho
Jo leni zindagi kee feel
Meri baat maano bhai
Cheel maaro cheel!

(cheel = chill)

Remain tension-free.. bring no fights into your mind and forget if something is troubling you...
Leave aside the study and the marks... they'r stupider than you.

And thats exactly what I'm doing now...Writing posts, eating pau-bhaji, chatting...

OH shit!!!!!!!! Oh oh oh !!! SHIT !!!

Its 9.01 already and I have only 2 hrs to eat food and complete the sylla. for the boards.... I'm dead...

Nikhil: I call him OD

Odie...

This is not about the garfield's odie but a very own version of odie.

My deer friend..(yess! deer not dog) NIKHIL

He's my best friend. We met in class 11 when we joined MSVV . I always used to sit with him. A very special thing about him and his notebook...

Suppose Nikhil's writing somethingand you do this in his NEAT notebook...

(Im talkin about the dirty line I made)

then Odie would respond by doing this...

(He cancelled the line to remove the untidiness!)

and said "Ravi! Please don't spoil my notebook! It should be very neat"

________________

Later i named him OD which signified Obviously Dumb (though i never called him by this name in his presence).

Od now wants to become an engineer.

Best of luck OD.

2006-01-28T02:16:00.000+09:00

There are many who can speak french.

And Im surely one of the many.

Funny are the people who can speak it.

Still I think, that Im not funny.

Sense, it seems, is difficult to find,
So sense the sense in this my friend
I know, for you, its a tough one honey.
To tell the truth, I dont think there's any

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2006 when...

2006-01-28T02:10:00.000+09:00

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

12. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

13. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

Khatam! Over! Finis

2006-01-19T21:27:00.000+09:00

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now official. My classes at Modern school VV are over, and I now live in a state of Velapanti. No more nocturnal ratta sessions, no more old ladies peering at me and saying "Puttar, Khana hazam nahi hoya?" (Did I mention I learn by pacing frantically around my dadi's verandah, who is NOT the old lady mentioned here).

A very important part of my life has ended, and another one is yet to start. I now exist in a state of Limbo, with Farida Khanum, Shamshad Begum, Suraiya et al for company.

What have I done since I got freedom, you might ask? Not much. Only one of my friends, Shaurya Verma got over with me, and I went with him to a closeby Bookstore, where I bought a number of books(obviously for BOARDS, atlest i'm studying now), dropped a pen, bent down to pick up the aforementioned pen, ignoring the salesman who told me not to bother, and banged my noggin against the granite counter. The thud, so my mother told me, was audible thrwee rows away. I debated whether to swoon, but contented myself with saying "Main Kahaan Hoon" in a weak voice. My mother was the only person to catch on. Sad, ain't it.
I came home, ate dinner again, and conked off.

What this post actually tells you is that I have not done much. Oh ,so now i am goin for my tuition and will hope to write another post in a few days.

I'm gonna die bcoz of my CHEM IS (TO) TRY paper

2006-01-18T02:39:00.000+09:00

Well i'm writing this post in a state where i can remember nothing more than CHEMISTRY. I never had such a bad condition in the last 17 yrs of my existence. I think i'm really close to a nervous breakdown. Well tomorrow is my chem paper(thankfully my last pre board paper) and i do not know even a shit about the subject.

I don't know what will happen to me.I think writng about my pathetic condition here , i will be releived of some stress and tension.

I hope the OLD LADY has made a simple paper & pray to GOD to grant me with the entire world's GOOD LUCK on the D-DAY.

Exam time bakwaas!!!(pre boards)

2006-01-14T19:48:00.000+09:00

Hello people, this is my pre board exam time post although I have nothing to write about. I had loads of fun in the week preceding the exam & did not study.

The situation remains unaltered. Physics was our first exam & now that it is over I feel as if ummmm as if- mere kandhon se ek bhaari bojh uth gaya hai(How do you translate this in English?? This shows that my English sucks & my paper will suck even harder). I actually stayed awake for 2 days & 2 nights trying to cram up all the laws, formulaes, equations etc etc....

But despite my best efforts Physics was BAD as in really BAD!!! Even cheating did not help very much & this is saying something since Nikhil Ratan sits in front of me & Tarun Tandon sits on my left( Both super-nerds of MSVV).

ohhhh!!

To end this post on a humorous note here is a joke:
Santa goes to Banta's house driving a new Mercedes.
Banta: Taunoo yeh changi si gaddi kittho milee??
Santa:Oye!! ek badi soni si kudi mennu is gaddi vich lekar beach te le gayee te saare kapde utar ke sut diye.
Banta:Phir kii hua??
Santa: usne angrezi vich kaha, "Take what you want". Te main yeh gaddi utha laaya.
Banta:Changa kitta!!! Kapdon da kii karna siii!!
(This joke is Punjabi, I found this in my Friend's cell, sorry if you weren't able to understand)

A short writeup on Cows

2006-01-14T19:05:00.000+09:00

The cow is a successful animal. Also he is four footed & because he is a female, he gives milks(but will only do so when he is got child). He is same like God, sacred to the Hindus & useful to man. He has got four legs together. Two are forward & two are afterwards.

His whole body can be utilizedfor use. More so the milk comes from four taps attached to his basement. His motion is slow only because he is of lazy species. Also his other motion(Gobar), is much useful to trees & plants & as well as for making flat cakes(like pizzas) in hand & drying in the sun. His only attacking & defending organ is the horns specially so when he is got child.

This is a short extract from the answer script of a student taking his IAS exams in Bihar.Needless to say that he passed.
