Schools get responsive and responsible

Principals ban students from participating in reality shows after quizmaster's letter

By Rashmi Menon

Quizmaster Derek O'Brien has been writing to schools around the city expressing his concern over students' participation in reality shows. He says that some of US's biggest reality shows like Survivor, American Idol and Big Brother have a specified age limit. In fact, the minimum age to enter American Idol is 16 years, he says.

After Sunday MiD DAY reported (SMD, July 6) quizmaster Derek O'Brien's plan to send letters to city-based schools requesting them to discourage students from participating in reality shows, around 345 schools have received the letters. They include Champion school, Maneckji Cooper Education Trust, Utpal Shanghvi, Bombay Scottish and The Cathedral and John Cannon School in Mumbai. And O'Brien has received responses from many, with some banning student participation in such shows outright.

So is the government going look into this issue? Leena Mehendale, member secretary of the state Child Rights Protection Commission, says that once the commission members are appointed, perhaps it will look into forming some guidelines. "The 'I must win' spirit is good but it should not be made as a life and death situation," says Mehendale.

Meanwhile, this is the copy of the letter sent to various city-based schools.

Oh yeah I'm the biggest boss in the world!!

Viva la general knowledge!

Everything's all right!

2010-04-01T01:00:00.003+05:30

Oh that was just a joke everything's fine! I am fine! Really! I'm fine! So anyway I have something to say to you guys and I hope you will forgive me. I have been misleading you. Derek O' Brien is not the evil miscreant I have made him out to be but instead he is an enlightened purveyor of a near-celestial view! That is why I am giving up my blog to him so that he can spread his powerfully enlightening general knowledge. I have of my free will given u my blog and It's not like he's torturing me in some army bunker in J and K.

So long

So anyways just to demonstrate the stupidness of his stuff I will be hosting a 5 part quiz show featuring questions from the book. Just include your answer in your comment and no anonymous comments.No checking wiki and no googling/yahooing or any other cheating. Your time starts now.

Boink! The almost epic poem by: me!

2010-02-09T15:50:00.000+05:30

Ma'aming like spamming

is very extremely badding.

But while ma'amers will cram

for their exam

spammers will only sell ham.

And Anshdeep will just say DAMN!

While Uzbekistan builds a tram

Sam snaps pictures with his cam

and now the crooks are on the lam.

When vegetarians receive spam

telling them to buy ham

they say: Crickey!

This is not funny!

So let us be!

While we eat ghee!

But the dietitians say:

"Please sir look, see

you cannot eat more ghee!

You will be too much fatty!"

"Ray AB

starts from Angle ZTD

and ends at line segment GC"

said the crook that was free.

The crook from "The Great Escape"

played Runescape

while wearing a cape

fastened with tape.

If you saw him you surely would gape!

This poem goes on and on.

I do not know from where does it spawn.

You must stop it while I mow the lawn!

The end! Full stop! No more!

Go away you big bore!

Don't make my ears sore!

THE END!

October 15!

I just discovered while thumbing through google doodles that I share a birthday with Mikhail Lermontov a russian romantic poet, painter and writer! Imagine that! I feel like I've won the galactic birthday lottery! Schoolchildren all over (russia maybe) know his name! Imagine when I tell my friends. He liked to paint landscapes and... oh I'm bored. Gotta take a shower now bye.

Chess

2010-01-29T17:33:00.003+05:30

No just go check his Wikipedia page!

In other matters I have discovered a centuries old plot to subconsciously subvert (here we go again) subway travelling substitutes. Have you ever wondered why in chess white always plays first?? Its because it was created by white-supremacists! All these years innocent grandmasters, amateurs and whatever comes in between have been happily playing away while their minds are being slowly but surely TURNED TO THE DARK (what?) sorry LIGHT SIDE!! *gasps of fear* Stop this outrage and sing a petition against chess HERE!Go sign that petition for me and all the chess players out there.

Orcs and stuff

2010-01-28T17:53:00.006+05:30

I've been reading The lord of the rings and I just thought it seems extremely biased toward Orcs. In every scene they are depicted to be uniformly evil, boorish, ugly, greedy and overall louts while those self-righteous, oh-so-noble little buggers (Elves and the lot) go around never even giving them a chance! Even Orcs' beer (I'm not making this up) is depicted to be foul and unwholesome (I know beer is anyways foul and unwholesome but even Merry and Pippin who consider bread and beer a meal turned their noses up at it!). Is this simple perversion of the plot line or something much much more. It may even be... a... WHITE-SUPREMACIST PLOT!!!! (feel free to gasp in horror).
Was Tolkien secretly plotting to subconsciously subvert the minds of subway eating substitutes? (I hate alliteration:this is my revenge!) Was he secretly a member of the Ku Klux Klan?? Did he secretly send people orange pips? (you don't read Sherlock Holmes?? Shame on you!) Was his biasment (word?) of Orcs actually a plot to convert innocent readers into KKK recruits? Find out on the next episode of Lastresort Z!!

A brief history of paper clips
OK here it is... What you have all been waiting for... It is... PAPER CLIPS!
The most common paper clip that we use was never patented but it was most likely made in Britain in the 1880s by "The Gem Manufacturing Company" according to Henry J Petroski.
Johan Vaaler, a Norwegian attained patents in Norway and in America for a less practical paper clip which used less wire as it did not include the last outer loop and one long side that the gem clip had. Here's what Vaaler's clip looked like.

Interestingly Norwegian patriots wore paper clips an their lapels during world war 2. This was not because Johan Vaaler supposedly invented the paper clip but because other badges were not allowed and the paper clip stood for solidarity and unity.

I hope this broadens all your horizons.

Kareena, what a dumbo!

2009-12-29T18:40:00.000+05:30

Just listen to this:
"Kareena covered a distance of 15km 612m. She traveled 7km 80m by bus and the rest by car. How much distance did she cover by car" This passage was reproduced from my school's maths workbook without permission because the teachers wrote it themselves (probably due to budget cuts) and never copyrighted it.

Now do you honestly think Kareena is all that smart? She probably could have afforded to think over her travel plans and by the way, does she just leave her car parked by the bus stop all the time? In any case why does she need to know how much exact distance she covered by car? I mean really, get a life lady! You're just as bad as those people who say WOOT first comment and stuff! I really have bigger fish to fry and I don't see why she would bother ME about it. Really this Kareena lady should be more considerate!

2009-11-30T20:25:00.000+05:30

This year I happened to go to Bookaroo which for the ignorant is a literary festival held in Delhi. It also happened last year which was its debut. It was basically a bunch of different workshops where writers and people came and did workshops with people. Not a surprise. I think the best event this year that I went to was Mughal Masala. The worst was how Nirulas took over the concession stand and there was a line so huge that it took an hour to buy WATER! In conclusion I think those guys should be ashamed of themselves!

These are some of the many Deer I saw. The spotted ones are called cheetal. The non-spotted ones are sambhar. The evil one is Death himself. Don't believe it! He just wants you to think its the flash!

This was en exceptionally rare sighting. A sloth-bear which my fathers friend who has been going there for 20 yrs has only seen once before. I swear I heard someone say "Hai Allah!" when he/she stood up.

Of course if you are too lazy or unlucky to really spot a tiger you can always take a picture of one of the photos that (I guarantee!) will be hanging around your hotel.

Today in science class we were writing about adaptations in animals. The teacher made us write:

Deers have thin strong legs to escape from their predators.

That got me thinking and I realized that humans had a very similar adaptation.

Humans have fast cars to escape from their creditors.

"UP!" 4/5 stars.

2009-09-24T18:24:00.000+05:30

OK I confess I haven't done anything about a book review. I know... I know... I suck but we all have our shortcomings so don't go pointing any fingers at me bub. Instead I'm going to do a review of the kids movie "Up!" (Please I didn't add the exclamation mark I'm pretty sure that's what it's called).

OK it's a Disney-Pixar movie so you know that is gonna have that corny quality that rakes in billions for evil conglomerates.However "Up!" was pretty good compared to some other Disney movies and it was not as corny as I expected. I think the idea of an old man in his 70s floating away with his house tied to a gazillion balloons was cute and funny. There are two flaws I have noticed in most Disney movies which I absolutely detest:

Flaw 1

Step 1 Hero/Heroine does something stupid at start of movie.

Step 2 Hero/Heroine does same stupid thing at the end of movie to fight evil bad guy(s)

Flaw 2

The moral is always "Believe in yourself and you can do anything" or something similar.

Now "Up!" had neither of these which- come to think of it-impressed me. I think overall "Up!" was a good movie, Russell's childish enthusiasm and Alpha"s squeaky voice were hilarious.

I give it a 4/5 I think.

BREAKING NEWS!

2009-09-17T20:46:00.000+05:30

This just coming in: I got a concussion! AND I had momentary loss of consciousness. I got knocked out for the first time in my life. It was all very dramatic and tragic. But the best part is I don't have to go to school tommorow and I get to miss an exam. I owe it all to my little brat of a brother who was chasing me when I slipped on some water that HE spilled and didn't clean up. Ah how I love him.

-Saleem

Ps. U can't touch me I've got a medical certificate! IN YOUR FACE! IN YOUR FACE! To all u educationalists out there.

A brief history of paper clips

2009-09-15T13:33:00.000+05:30

Ok here it is... What you have all been waiting for... It is... PAPER CLIPS!

The most common paper clip that we use was never patented but it was most likely made in Britain in the 1880s by "The Gem Manufacturing Company" according to Henry J Petroski.

Johan Vaaler, a Norwegian attained patents in Norway and in America for a less practical paper clip which used less wire as it did not include the last outer loop and one long side that the gem clip had. Heres what Vaaler's clip looked like.

Interestingly Norwegian patriots wore paper clips an their lapels during world war 2. This was not because Johan Vaaler supposedly invented the paper clip but because other badges were not allowed and the paper clip stood for solidarity and unity.

I hope this broadens all your horizons.

Update on my life

Here is for all of you who don't know what is going on in my life-

My half yearly exams are happening right now so its not very fun.

Also my mom is gone to S Korea for a writing residency program which is where she just stays with other writers and writes all day. Doesn't sound like that much fun to me. More later.

2009-09-08T18:58:00.000+05:30

You guys may have noticed the new poll is rather childish but keep in mind i am a child so. Also keep in mind I am not blogging for adults and I am not only blogging about books and serious stuff so.

Followers

2009-09-07T17:10:00.000+05:30

I started following my own blog. I think thats conceited or something like that. Its just silly and I was just seeing if it would work. Guess I'll stop following in a few days.

Saleem

Ps I wish I had more followers (Hint hint)

Ok well I did say I would...

2009-09-06T20:32:00.000+05:30

Qbasic

2009-09-06T20:07:00.000+05:30

Has anyone ever tried programming stuff in Qbasic? It's funner than you might think. Granted u can't make any superstar programs or anything but you can make stuff like things where the computer asks u questions and depending on the answer you can get different responses.

-Saleem

Ps I know funner isn't a word so SHUT UP!

Pps U guys probly think I'm a freakazoid computer geek but you can't judge a book by it's cover.

Ppps I know it doesn't make sense so SHUT UP!

Pppps Ok I think that 4 p's is a bit overkill don't u?

Science homework and poll

2009-09-03T16:25:00.000+05:30

I'm completely covered in science homework except I can't do any of it cuz I don't have the worksheet or the notebook or whatever. Hehe. I guess the poll is going pretty good but im curious who voted for who. Next time I make a poll I'm going to make it shorter. I only gave this one such a big time limit cuz I knew that It would take some time for people to come here and vote.Nothing else to say now g2g cya.

Tiger Hotel

2009-08-31T20:39:00.000+05:30

I'm going to a tiger resort maybe. At the worst I will only end up staying in a hotel for a night.

Depends on whether they let us in the resort. My dads class is going there in october so I get to go with my dad and check it out if they lets us in.

-Saleem

Note: My dad is a teacher.

-UPDATE! Not tiger resort that's just silly. It's tiger sanctuary.

Comics

2009-08-30T13:21:00.000+05:30

I like comics. I think I will add a list of the top 5 comics every sunday.

What do you think of this? Good idea? Yes? No?

Also should i talk in chat language on this blog?

Maybe I will make a poll on that.
