Wat kind of a thinker are you?

You are an Intrapersonal thinker
Intrapersonal thinkers:

* Spend a lot of time thinking about and trying to understand themselves
* Reflect on their thoughts and moods, and work to improve them
* You understand how your behaviour affects your relationships with others

Like intrapersonal thinkers, Leonardo worked hard to improve all aspects of himself. Other Intrapersonal thinkers include
Sigmund Freud, Gandhi, Grahame Greene

Careers which suit Intrapersonal Thinkers include
Psychologist, Teacher, Pilot, Child care worker, Explorer, Drama therapist(hmm.. I'v always found the psychologist's job v interesting, n I wanted to be a teacher when I was a kid, though I guess most kids want tht..I'm still wondering who a drama therapist cud b..any idea? ;) )

This was wat I got,nice quiz it is..try it out at http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/leonardo/thinker_quiz/

BLACK

Brilliant.Absolutely brilliant.I saw the movie yesterday.Really, it's sensitive, aesthetic, very well made with superb performances from all the actors, AB, Rani Mukherjee and the child actor, Ayesha.I would recommend everyone to go and watch it.It's just a 2 hour movie, with no songs.I was so engrossed in the movie that not even for a minute did I get distracted or bothered by the fact that my friends were looking at teary-eyed me and contemplating all the while whether they shud disturb me and offer me a hankerchief (which they told me later:) ).

Ok, so u won't usually get bad reviews for movies from me ;) but I also don't call every movie brilliant.. so go watch it!

Bhiwani panchayat issues ultimatum

Sunday, February 6, 2005 (Bhiwani):

Birpal, a resident of Harodi village in Bhiwani, dared to defy his village panchayat by marrying outside his caste.

However, the panchayat, composing of the Sheora Jat sub-cast, will have none of it and Birpal has been issued an ultimatum.

The couple has been asked to either leave the village or the family will have to pay Rs 50 a day.

And if any other family defies the stand of the panchayat, they will be fined Rs 1,100 and stand the risk of being ostracised.

Birpal now has to choose between the love of a woman or caste honour.

This newsreport is from ndtv.com.

Who gave them the right to decide where a person can live or where he cant stay. Wat kind of an authority are they to decide his fate? Wen will we be able to get rid of these self-appointed judges of the society?It's the fundamental right of every citizen " to reside and settle in any part of the territory of India" according to Article 19(1)(e) of the Constitution.Any person can go directly to the Supreme Court to enforce his rights.Would this man even noe tht he can do this? Or would he be able to do this? Sometimes it makes you wonder...what are all these rights really for? Who really benefits ...

Nevertheless I still believe everyone shud noe his/her basic rights.There's a copy of the Constitution here, if you want to read.Dunno how many of us wud still remember all tht we studied as kids in Civics class :)

Random thoughts..

I'm bored.I want to write.. But I don't noe wat to write abt!There are so many things going on in my head, but not any one particular thing which I want to write about.Therefore I'm going to just blabber about whatever comes to my head.and hence the title of this post :)

Why do people like to smoke?Or why do I find smoking so detestable? It gives me such a wierd feeling when I see someone smoking, it's not just the cigarette smoke which I find suffocating, it's also the feeling which I have when I see someone smoking especially someone i know.I get these ANT's.I once learnt in a psychology class that ANT stands for Automatic negative thoughts.Nice terminology isn't it?We all have these ANT's towards something or someone.It could be something as common as oh all politicians are bad, horrible people.So when you meet a politician you'll always have this thought at the back of your head even though you may not consciously think so.To become a psychologist or a counseller you need to get rid of these ANT's.You cannot try and understand people when you already have biases in your head for or against them. I'v totally gone out of topic here, kahan se shuru n kahan pe khatam.. well the I warned u in the beginning :P

I wish I had a beautiful voice n I could sing well.Must be the effect of all these singing championships that hv been going on :) There are so many talented people out there with such wonderful voices. It's such an amazing gift to have such a voice.

God it's so tough writing without using short forms ;) People find my class notes tough to decipher cause I write them in cryptic language :D It's not deliberate, I'v just bcom used to writing r,2,u,b,d which stand for are/our,two/too, you, be,the respectively which I'm sure u all noe :) Infact in exams I have to be especially careful not to make these mistakes.And even while writing here I try to use as few short forms as possible cause somehow reading a lot of sutff in sms language is not really njoyable :) But I can't eradicate it totally! It's bcom too deep rooted within ;)

I should be doing something else right now I think.. I have a long list of 'To Do' things, but then kal sunday hai so I'll just postpone everything for tomorrow ..hehe.. n just go to sleep and sleep for 10 hours atleast.

Gnite blog :) N gnite everyone !

I always used to address my diary as a person.. first time I'v addressed my blog as one.. another piece of useless information tht was.. neways now I'm finally going.. so tadaaa

CaN YoU SolvE ThiS PuzzlE?

I had a class on Team Building today.Just a regular class which was going ok, but suddenly turned interesting towards the end.Sir was talking about teams solving problems n gave us a problem to solve.For 20 minutes all of us were whacking our brains trying to solve the problem. He even told us what the answer could b, told us to try different combinations, think out of the box...lol.Well I finally got it, and Sir was so happy n relieved that someone finally managed to figure it out.. :)

Anyways here's the puzzle.. try it out. Lets see how long u tk to solve it ;) It's not tough, wont take time at all if u get on the right track! :)

A,B,C,D have to cross a dark tunnel.

A takes 10 min to cross.B takes 2 min,C takes 5 min and D takes 1 min to cross.

2 conditions : They hv only one tiny lamp and ony one team member can accompany the person carrying the lamp. Which means that at a time more than 2 people cannot cross the tunnel.Also remember that one person has to come back with the torch for the others to cross.

What is the minimum time taken for the team to cross the tunnel?


Should I give the answer?Nah.. lemme wait n watch :)
