UGLY MONKEY- PIG or WHATEVER

Some days ago I had to prepare a presentation for my Med Chem course. The topic was related to Cancer. As I always want to make my presentation more presentable, I add numerous pics (related/unrelated doesn't matter unless it looks good).

So there I was frustrated on the deadline and in no mood whatsoever to read some stupid research papers for my presentation. I was searching for gross pics related to cancer (trust me try searching for "Gross Cancer Pics" in google image search and you shall be amazed.) Suddenly I stumbled upon this awesome (or awful) looking creature. I just couldn't stop myself from finding more about it.

This actually is a piglet born in China. It has some sort of brain disorder which makes it look like a monkey.

Poor thing is like the old familiar UGLY DUCKLING of its family.

Well I hope some evolutionary marvel takes place for this piglet/monkey being so that it becomes like the SWAN which the UGLY DUCKLING turned into.

Any guesses what will happen to this awesome looking bugger!!

The Book of revival

Tired with watching all those movies on LAN and playing the NFS series over and over, I decided to go back to my old hobby of reading BOOKS........
Ya it may seem abnormal for a non muggu (Well I consider myself as one) IITian to READ BOOKS when exams are not looming large. But after a Rs. 1500 shopping at Landmark and Rs. 2000 shopping at Crosswords, I myself felt guilty for not reading those precious jewels which I once cherished more than anything (After FOOD obviously ;) ). But once I was immersed in a beautiful book called " Sea of Poppies" I couldn't stop myself until I had read it not once but Twice... It felt really AWESOME after regaining my old hobby.


I remember those old days (Especially the monsoon days) when you could just turn on some great music, eat great bhajiya and read an AWESOME book. I dunno where has the old ME been lost in this new IITian ME. I wish none of the new entrants lose themselves in this superficial and stupid world of LAN.




Well I know I am ignoring the fact the if this very LAN wasn't there, this Post would not have existed and I would not be frustrated by LAN. :)
