Having tea with monsoon after a long time . . .

After a month of torture by heat and loo, and not to mention the forecast of weather on internet, all of us had lost our hopes. From nowhere came the monsoons to our rescue...


So lemme start but where to begin...Oh yea, we had a quiz to be held at around 4:20 today. So was busy preparing for the quiz. Due to the heat i closed my doors and windows. I actually ended up in watching a movie :P (17 again; my review: decent). Well so in the middle of the movie i heard some noise from outside. Well as i was least interested in whats going on out side, i continued with the movie. Neways after some time when i opened my door, O M G it had rained, and the ground was all wet. Damn i missed it. Neways never mind, i went near to the neem tree and shaked its branches. yoyooyoyoyo i was in the rain. ( u know what i am toking about) Well next i went to the test which was not that good. :(


The neem tree which provided me the joy of being in the rain, although i was late :P

So when we got out of the test centre, it was raining cats and dogs. So although wanned to go out and get wet in the rain, was a bit scared about catching cold. Now by that time one of my friends had already gone into the rain. 'Hell with cold i am getting out dere' Well after some few events, i along with one of my friends approached the refreshment centre (Sky lawns/labs; Confused) to have cheez n chilli sandwich. We managed to get there in the rain. After we ordered for the sandwich i ordered what they called Hot chofo (chocolate+coffee). Beleive me it was awesum to have that and at the same time the rains thrashing on you.
Next was my return journey to my hostel. When we started cycling from skylawns, it started raining more. However it was never going to be a problem as we were already wet, so rather we decided to cruz thru the rain water and dare to drive(actually cycle but it feels good to say drive :P) when you cannot see whts infront of you. (due to the intensity with which it was raining.
However made it to our hostels with the fun we had still in mind. Hey i snapped 2-3 pics after cuming back. What can i say, the rains were worth waiting for. Neways i am having tea with the monsoon. :)


Rain had juss sttoped for a break

B day blast !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy bday. Really confused b day means birthday or bumps day :P. Really gotto to know a different way of celebration and beleive me i totally love it. No doubt I am quite thankful to be in the Goa campus which is quite noob with respect to the Pilani campus (really u r pros \m/ hats off 2 u guys). Although i will nt be revealing the total story bcoz it needs 2 remain a suprise 4 Goa guys (:P). Its really gonna b fum in Goa. Indeed started counting days to celebrate a b day.


The celebration which i am going 2 describe has evolved from years of experimentation and research of course of butt :P.

Hey its 12 midnight. Everyone get outside, its d b day of Rayukesh Joshi. Oh yeah dere cumes the gang fully prepared (of course with a cake as a matter to console :P )

So what are we waiting for..Lets go...

Bang bang bang on door of d b day boy. Finally after 2-3 attemps gets up and behaves as if forced 2 wake up from a deep sleep (as if dats going to affect the planned package). Neways he asks a minute to change his pants (he also knows whts gonna happen. heheheh. let him prepare his best)

Neways he cumes out at last.. So whts nxt. Everyone wishes him a happy b day (of course with intensions of giving bumps going inside d mind :P). But some one needs to start.

Ohk here cumes Ramu yooyoy. 'Chalo uthao yaar. Suru karo'. Next moment every 1 jumps to pick d bday boy (as if everyone was waiting for some order) n thus starts d bumps party \m/. I dunt think I need to describe what a bumps aprty means :P, u know it

Well dats not the end.. 'Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost' . Yes next "Rapidfire" (OMG its awsum). Poor bday was asked to face a wall, a bucket of water poured on his back and dere cumes the sound 'phat phat phat phat phat phat' (with at a amazing rate, i think can be compared with the firing rate of AK 47 in CS :P)made by the exchange of kinetic energy of the chappal to the sound at the interface of chappal n butt.
You should see and yes i wonder how would it feel being the b day boy (I dunt wanna imagine, lemme have the fun)

Next is the "Axe Effect". Well this is kinda censored :P. Neways it was fun, but it was nt carried 4 a long time due to the requests(rather last wishes) by d b day boy.

yyooyoyoyoy cake cutting tym. Cake was kept on a chair n Rayukesh Joshi was standing infront of it and standing behind him are manu and ramu. Oh yeah climax abhi baaki hai. :P. There s more 2 cum b4 d cake cutting yoyoyoyoyoy.
As they call it "Confessions". (Sounds interesting, lets c)
Well comes the first questions 'Whats the most exciting thing which you have done in your life?'
Rayu says 'hmmmmmmmmmmm'
phat phat phat phat 'jaldi jaldi late nahin' (i dunt think i need to specify where from the sound comes from :P)
'jumping out of school'
phat phat phat phat 'what sort of exciting thing is dat'
phat phat phat .......and it goes
'whuz the most cute girl in ur campus?'
phat phat phat
'i dunt find ne girl cute, we dunt have ne cute in our campus'
phat phat phat 'The question was whuz d best in ur campus n dere has 2 b 1'
phat phat phat phat.....

You know ppl will never agree with you when dey get the chance of phat you when you are wrong :P. Not to forget there were some awesum questions asked too which i cannot disclose here for privacy reasons.
ramu was even commented during the last part by sumone 'arre tujhe toh police mein hona chahiye..kya interrogation karta hai'. Indeed i bow down b4 you ramu. you are god \m/

At last as i said to console he was given the opportunity to cut the cake and as good friends we sang the Birthday song (previously it was b day. abhi Birthday :P). As people always say 'everything has a happy ending' :)

Reflection..example

This a example of the reflection tut, which i posted some days back.

Actually i created this days back, long before i knew the actual procedure to create a relection effect. The mistake which i did in my tut was that in the last step i forgot to reduce the opacity, which kinda makes it feel more like reflection.You too can try out and feel the difference. I dunno how far was my tut useful, plz lemme know so that i improve :) You can download this wallpaper from the link given below

Download the wallpaper

First Grunge

 

 


. Never really tried out such a wallpaper. I really dunno if its good or bad. To give you a brief history (:P) behind this wallpaper, lemme me go back. Well i was on my way back to my home in a train. Thankfully a got a seat where i had a plug point beside my seat (real lucky:) ). So taking the full advantage of situation, i watched a movie (The International - dunt watch it :P) and some videos and yes not to mention i heard some songs which made me feel gud. But then something was wrong, i wasnt really comfortable :(. Ohh yes i found it, i got the upper berth in the train, and sadly i didnt have any space, not even to sit straight. Moreover i could not get a chance to get down to the lower berth and sit due to the family with which i was travelling (they slept throughtout the journey o.0 . So i was sad n happy too for a plug point, so i tried to myself comfortable n tried out on with many brushes. Ending up here wasnt the end of the adventure. After the completion of this i could not save it as a .jpeg file (shame on me :P). After struggling for 15 mins, i found that i had scrolled down in the save options and for that reason i missed out the .jpeg option which was up in the options :P .

Neways do temme how do you find the wallpaper. I ll soon b posting some of my recent works with photos of persons and photoshop. Do check dem out.

Nano Hub

I came across this very awesum website which has a lot of information on nano science n technology. This very website contains a hell lot of information on the very new subject. With the help of teachers all around the globe n the sponsers not to mention, it is really helpful for students like me, who want to know more on the subject yet limited by the availability of the resources... It contains your personal page wherein you can customize the stuff you want to give more importance. Say for example you are more of a interested in nano - bio, then you can hav all the recent happenings and articles focussed upon on ur page rather ur account. Its very uselful both for the students n the researchers n the teachers. Afterall everyone is in the process of learning, so the website really helps us to a great extent in sharing information and get the maximum out of this mysterious technology. Not to mention of the very useful tutorials that it has, it is very very very very.... useful and at the same time fun to go thru :) Talking statistically it has
# 91835 users (both teachers n students)
# 1627 resourses
# 143 tools
# 392784 simulations (simply wow!)
Starting from nano bio to nano electrmechanical, it has all in store for you... What else, go and get the max out of it....

Reflection

Isnt dat kool...well lemme present my first tut : reflection effect

We ll b creating a cool wallpaper with ur name written and a reflection below. It indeed brings out a glassy effect n it rocks

I work on photoshop cs3

Step 1: Open Photoshop and open a new file with d following configuration ( i am making a wallpaper with a size of 1280x800 pixels square :P) 

Step 2: Well now get a dark background. I chose a black back ground. And den write your name. Make sure u choose the font correctly. Make sure its bold and do take care about the base of the edges. They (referring to the bases) all  should end on a line.

 

Step 3: This actually is optional at this point but i prefer do now. You can go to your layers panel. If you dunt hav the layer window on your screen, den you can get it by pressing the F7 key. Neways once u get dere, you can manipulate the layer properties. Select the text layer and den double click on the blank area to the right, u can get the sort of window given below. Now you can play with all the parameters and make your name look awsum. Well you can also try out the presets in the styles winidow also.

  

Step 4: Now rasterize the text layer by right clicking on the text layer in the layer window and den selecting the 'rasterize the layer' option.

Step 5: With th layer selected in the layer window, u can press Ctrl+T, or u can select the area as given in the pic and den click on transform selection

Step 6: Then right click on the selected area and go for prespective option, play around with the end square small boxes and make sure u move dem only in the vertical direction. ( u can play wid it in ne way u want , but for the sake of this wallpaper go according to the specifications)

Step 7: Now hit enter to go for ur transformation.

Step 8: Next create a copy of the layer n using the transformation procedure bring it to the position specified,  i.e. invert the image.

Step 9: Now with the newly created, select the shown area and go for 'transform selection' as was mentioned before. Now select the skew option , and in the way first move the corner small squares up and down n bring the image to the shown figure.

 

Step 10: Next go to the bottom left corner n enable the quick mask by clicking on the icon.

  

  

Step 11: Make sure you select the correct parameters as shown in the figures 

 

 

Step 12: Next apply the gradient, which will look like the figure shown above.

Step 13: Next deselect the mask editing option, and the screen luks sumwht lyk dis except the dotted line covering the upper half. Press Ctrl+Shift+I to inivert the selection and the lower one will get selected.

Step 14: Wid the inverted layer selected,press the delete key n u can see the magic. the shade appears :). You are almost done wid the reflection

 

Step 15:Now you can for the layer properties of the main layer (text) n change the parameters n hav fun. Make sure you restore the essence of reflection.

Step 16: Well the last step.. Do decrese the opactity of layers which represent the reflection and thus ur work is done

  

Well how well the relection cumes out, and how all you create your effects all depend on how well you experiment all the tools dat you hav at your disposal. Try out your wacky ideas, create all crap and nonsense and you will end up getting the work up your lifetym.... Well i am still in the process :P
