Really I had no idea what it means but I made some assumptions that helped me understand the StarWars movies. Anyway I like this site wisegeek. simple clean and crisp answers. The layout is greenish very much like the fat lens site. Their search box shows results on the go!!! cool. Also the search results are shown with relavancy. Dunno how they calculate the % though. I mean how can a piece of software be 100% sure that the result he's giving is so relavant.
On the same site I found another interesting question.
what is a stapleless stapler
annother loong weeekend. This time I am staying home. No reading. Must kill Diabolo. Bahut time ho gaya. I started this time with a female character just to figure out will she be named Madam or Sir after she kills diabolo. well another reason was I wanted to play with bow and arrow. She can split a single arrow in multiple ones just like in the TV serials :-)

china daily
Thanks to Google News I landed at china daily's website. They claim to be one of the first online chinese news site. Anyway. I liked their news format. Unlike Japanese sites it wasn't overwhelmingly chinese. Just a lil here and there. Otherwise nice crisp news in english. With vocabulary of tough words in the end. Lovely idea . Also they put a news article about china-india relations on top of the big news of china-russia joint military excercise. funny.

a new hope
"The crocodile has an immune system which attaches to bacteria and tears it apart and it explodes. It's like putting a gun to the head of the bacteria and pulling the trigger,"

I believe indians are insensitive. at least north indians. they quarrel so very often.
Recently on my trip to home I was waiting for the train at the station when a book cart walla started to fight with an ice cream vendor for not giving him way. I mean people just love to fight. His opening sentence itself was to curse the other fellow.
When I reached home I took an auto. on the way autowala almost hit a jeep coming from the sideway. on the next red light my autowala got down and hit the jeep wala. right there on the spot. no questions asked. no reasoning.
Then later in the day we went for a picnic lil outside the town. on the road you'll find tons of cattle roaming around, cows and buffalos mostly. in the nite when we were returning I see a big crowd, a smashed car and some poor folks holding hankies to their head and chin etc. apparently they hit a cow. again I am sure there is no talking done. I was thankful religion didn't come into picture there otherwise you know what could happen.
khair kya karen. yahaan ka mausam hi aisa hai. logon ka moood kharab rahta hai. said one of the fellows.
so I was saying that we don't value fellow beings. that the other person is also a good human being and he must have some reason for goofing up. no. pata nahi kahaan kahaan se aa jate hain. jaat hi kharaab hai. what not I hear. even it's blamed on the states as we all know. ye sab bihaar men chalta hoga yahaan nahi. you'll hear at times. instead of finding a reason we love to invent one. grow up yaar. yahaan sab aise hi chalta hai. aakhir dil hai hindustaani.

a month since....
I complete a month today in NOIDA.
in noida you still have lift men. you still have people who get inside when the lift is going the other way. you still have ppl who look extremely pleased just to be inside the lift.
in noida you still have a register at the gate where you need to sign before entering a company.
in noida you still have manual rikshaws and theli wala and stray cows on the sleek 6 lane roads.
in noida shopkeepers still prefer cash. actually that's an understatement. almost none have the credit card billing m/c.
in noida police-wala-gunda will stop you for questioning when you are coming home on a friday nite from the nite show of a long hindi movie.
