The National Television is again in my post, they don’t even care for their image, be it in their home-made productions and even in their day to day broadcasts on the different channels.

They give the impression that there is no one who ensures a quality service or review what they put live.

A simple example, and repetitive one, is as shown below:

In the above picture, taken when one of the “preview” of a film was being broadcasted, you can cleary see that the film will be broadcasted on Sunday, at 21XXhrs, the XX mins display, being hidden by the LARGE mbc3 label.

Damn it! So, i will have to sit before the tv set from 2100hrs till 2159hrs to really know at what exact time it will start! This happens too often, too much!!!

hihi, and now 2 more pics…

Since 1 week, my sister and myself are alone at home since parents are not in Mauritius, so, everynight we either eat at my cousin’s place(next door) or like today and yesterday, we cooked ourselves at home.

Quite a disaster!

Yesterday, we planned to eat Chicken and at the end, we were left with a salty curry lol!

and more recent, some hours ago, we TRIED  to cook some pasta, mixed with a “rougaille saucisse” since we had nothing else to put in it.

While cooking, all the “rougaille” was evaporated LOL! and we were left with fried and “over-cooked” sausage. As for the pasta, it was ok but since the last mins, my belly is making “glou-glou” lol, and tomorrow, i have a company event to go to, at Domaines Anse Jonchee :S

we were not only the victims, since both Neha and Deepa(cousines next door) were fortunate(???) to have been invited for dinner at our place for the last 2 days

lol, 1 more week to go like this!
practice makes perfect, so lets hope in some years, i can cook a bit better!

After nearly 2years, i have revamped my web site, below are some screenshots…

I have also rewritten nearly all the text + added new stuff while removing other pages.
Any additional stuff that i may find interesting will be added in the Cool Stuff section, for example, simple articles showing you how to use any email add with msn messenger or how to compress a picture, the easiest way…

Innovations in this version:

• Use of lightbox script for image zooming
• minimal text as far as possible
• use of pictures to make the site more interesting…

Future works:

• use that banner (or another one )or a lighter version of the banner onto this blog
• use criticism from my friends and visitors to make the site better
• make a new intro banner, by replacing the existing one, dated 2 years back too!

Have a look now and do leave a message

Level 19, thats where my cousin Neha and myself have reached till now, and seems that there is a long way to go before the end since it has 37 levels from what i read some mins ago.

Hey Neha!, 18 nivos encore ena pu aller la! lol !

Wikipedia says:

Snakes is an update to the classic Snake game from Nokia. It is freely downloadable from the Nokia N-Gage website, and can be copied to another N-Gage handset via Bluetooth. A new version is now available as an embedded game on most N-series smartphones from Nokia.

During our “narien a faire” time, we take turns to play, trying to reach the next levels, and just for tonight, we finished 4 levels i think.

The Queue level:

below, the “Double Cross” level,nice



Dont know when we will finish the game, but sometimes its really tough, especially the hex fields levels like below:



It can be downloaded from here or in many other sites, freely…

Does anyone of you play this game?
Which level u reached???

IT’S A SHAME for the Mauritius Police Force!

During my lunch time today, i SPOTTED 2 police vehicles, both in PARKED ILLEGALLY, just in from of A POLICE STATION, that of Pop Henessy, situated some meters from KFC Cathedrale.

hehe, as usual, i didnt fear taking out my mobile to take photographs of the scene!

One of them was parked along a yellow double line while the other lied midway on the pavement!

See the pictures below…

And they dare to fine us if some cms of your vehicles lies on a yellow double line or on the pavement!

Yashvin,
reporting for www.yashvin.net,
about the injustice and incompetency of the
goverment and some of the local authorities lol

Hello everyone…

I was astonished by wat i read this morning in the Le Defi Plus newspaper…

Oh, no, not exactly by this title, but rather, one sentence from that particular article, as shown below…

According to an inspector of the MSPCA, an owner can have only 2 dogs, else, he is considered as a dog breeder, thus has to possess a permit issued by that organisation.

Well, now look in your neighborhood…

How many of you have more than 2 dogs? do you have a dog breeder permit? lol!

Take a minute to think about that more deeper, if an owner can have only 2 dogs, then, if there are 5 persons in that family, living under 1 roof, that makes 5×2=10dogs, it that right?

btw, this is Pam, our 2nd dog at home… Oh yes, then i think that u can have more than 2 dogs in your yard, you are safe from the law side

Wait wait wait, another thing…

Is there any law for other animals? Birds? Cats?

Thats so stupid!

Its high time that those laws are revised, as well as all of the institutions, which are completely outdated with their laws and principles established centuries ago… just like those famous “100ml of rainfall” which caused the death of ppl among our population.

btw, yesterday i bought an ipod shuffle 1GB… nice thing and so SMALL!

Wow…hehe, am a bit older, 23 yrs now

Nice surprises since yesterday, so i will start from there itself…

It all started by a lunch, prganised by my project team members

Then, i distributed sweety sweets to the whole DCDM 5th floor, got a nice card and pen as gifts…

I didnt expect that the 2nd part of the birthday celebration would be so …surprising!

We planned to meet in Shooters after work and at about 7pm, i joined Dhaneesha, Veronique, Richard, Rama and Nirvini…
After a drink, and of course “bane kouchou kouchou” between those present, who were organising something, which turned out to be nice

Suddenly, some (nice & hot) waitresses of shooters came before me with a nice and large cake, with a Happy Birthday song being played in the background, in the whole shooters!

Everyone there gazed at us, with the birthday cake, and its candles…
LOL, it was so ….nice of course, and embarassing for me, with everyone looking at me, just imagine! i dont have words to describe that…

Thnks Dou, Vero, Richard, Rama & Nirvini!

After that small party, we ate at pizza hut, after making rounds and rounds in port louis, trying to find some food at about 10pm!

I reached home, nearly 0030hrs!

---

I woke up by the loads of happy birthday wishes being sent through sms at about 6am and immediately, i contacted the others to wake them up, koz i had organised something for my birthday since the last days…

A “Randonnee Dans Black River Gorges Natural Park!” Organised by the Underground Committee, under the code name “Underground In Nature Version 2.0″, the first one being, “Monte Le Pouce”

Participating members : Nisha, Vero, Vana, Steve, Chandra, Ravi, Michael, Sandra, Vissen, Fadil, Zainab and myself…

Everyone was worried, because of the loads of rain during the night and we didnt know if we would be able to climb down from Petrin to the Natural Park as planned…
A van picked all of us, as scheduled and despite the HEAVY RAIN, we started to our journey down to the Nature Park Parking, at the bottom.

Oh yes, before i forget, thnks Fadil and Zainab for the surprise birthday cake in the middle of the forest, with each and everyone in the group singing happy birthday! that was original!!!

Lots of us fell down, full of mud, drenched 100% and everyone was worried if u would succeed in reaching the bottom, on time and without hurt!

But, as Usual, WE DID IT!

4 painful hours later, we reached the bottom, near the river where Sandra, Vissen and Myself swimmed in the water for some mins, well, at least, tried to swim!
The van picked us back and at 6pm, i reached home, where the birthday celebrations continued!

My next door cousins, Deepa & Neha had a nice time, crashing eggs on my head

Thats how i have been celebrating my birthday with my friends and family :DI would like to thank everyone who participated today, but also, the loads of friends who wished me happy birthday, either on mobile, sms, msn or facebook!

for my friends…

This is to tell you that

i dont wanna a gift like a laptop Core 2 Duo or a Nokia N95

But just a little fun,

among ourselves like last year (Read Post + View Video)…

You are invited!

[btw, I dont expect much comments here and thanks to all who contributed for making the last post collect nearly 80 comments!]

Note : This is only my point of view…

You may not agree with me, and express ur own beliefs…

God is a figment of man’s imagination.
We YOU created him in our your undeniable lust for security and a need for purpose. God doesn’t exist. Until evidence is given to support His existence, no rational thinker can put faith into religion.

Its not a secret, I simply never believed in god…
Everybody in my surroundings know well how much i care for him, to such extent that during any hindou fast, i have either Chicken or lol “Mo saucisse et mo disefs” (copyright @mong colleagues)

I found no reason y i should follow those millions of ppl praying to those imaginary ‘creatures’ but nevertheless, i do respect their way of life…

One simple example, i quoted this today @ work….

This Sunday, i read in 5-Plus that a few hindou devotees owned their life to the “Kawal” they built and were carrying back to their village after their pilgrimmage to Grand Bassin. Some driver has unfortunately lost control of his car, hit with 3 of them and struck with the Kawal.
Those pilgrims feel that without their “kawal”, they would have probably lost their life…

aaarrrrrrrr!
If instead of wandering on the street, on their way to pray to ‘Him’, they would probably be at home and none of them would have been hurt in anyway, nor would have his leg plastered! lol !

The only times i go to Grand Bassin, is when we go out for Plucking Goyaves de Chine or for a picnic somewhere, with lots of food in the car
I think its the 4th year i havent gone there to “pray”…

Quite often, i like to question people:

To croire dan bondier?

While some of them would answer by a firm “OUI”, a few of them would reply back “wi imper imper”

How can u believe in something “imper”?
Its either a YES or a NO!

One simple reason y (some) ppl (especially youngsters) believe foolishly in God is because since their birth, they have been always been taught that ‘the one above’ will always here to help you in ur bad times, you must pray constantly, blabla….its because the way you were brought up.
just ask ur parents, they will continue the paragraph…

Not believing in god, keeps me open minded, enables me to understand other people in my surroundings, without first asking myself “hey malbar sa, non lascar, or even nation sa!”

Not believing in god gives me the liberty to believe in other things, use that time in a more constructive way doing things i like, spending time with PEOPLE WHO REALLY EXIST, instead of believing that one day, my wishes will be realized, probability -0.01 …

And what if its purely a coincidence that ur wish has been fulfilled?
Have u ever thought of that?

As said someone : “L’espoir fait vivre les imbeciles….”

I have stopped counting the number of time i get clashes at home, just because i dont follow the beliefs of my parents or my surroundings, or because i eat things which a hindou is not supposed to eat….

Hey u indian guy/gurl, have u ever tried Porc/Beef?
No? then you are foolish (for me)

& what if one day u have nothing to eat, except some delicious miam miam, porc/beef meat?

God’ if ever u r reading my blog and dont like wat am saying here,
you, who possess all those powers,
ban my blog,
make my server hard disk crash,
Oh god, u can do everything, ya, really everything!

& y dont u leave a comment btw? LOL

Situated in the north of the island, Triolet is one of the biggest village in Mauritius, but certainly the longest of all. Populated with over thousands of people from all religious beliefs, the MY village, lacks nothing but a good bus service! we will come to that a little bit later….

Among the existing infrastructures we have for instance:

• excellent roads, with over 5 humps(speed breakers) lol !
• a large market place, XXL size,
• Police Station, Fire Station, Postal Service, Health Care Center
• 3 main primary schools, over 10 colleges, tens of pre-primary schools,
• a branch of practically all banks of Mauritius and
• perhaps hundred of bus stops, with thousands of unsatisfied bus users!

One particularity of Triolet is that it can be said to have no “business center” since everything is scattered all long the main road, divided into different regions, among which we have the famous 3 (7eme mille, 8eme mille & 9eme mille), 3-Boutiques, Cinema Anand, Cinema Cassée, Derningham, Solitude, Terminus & etc…

Thats for a brief intro about the village and
what if we discuss about the bus service?

Triolet Bus Service has the exclusivity to be the only 1 bus company to “serve” over the village and the neighboring villages : Trou aux Biches, Grand Baie, Cap Malheureux, Pointe aux Piments, St Antoine, Arsenal, Riviere du rempart, Fond du sac (added to the request of Neha & Deepa, telling me wat to write here) & etc… without forgetting Pointe aux Sables & La Tour Koeing.

Unfortunately, when it comes to wait the bus early in the morning, then its better to “prend ene la bougie rouge”.

During school days, at times, you can wait upto 30-45 mins to get a bus in which u can find a STANDING PLACE!
Be it a school day or a holiday, there is the same number of buses on the roads + perhaps a few buses dedicated to colleges. However when its your turn to enter a normal bus, 3/4 of the passengers are students!
For instance, several times i had to wait on the bus stop from 0705 to 0745 before getting a bus to go to work.

If one day you have to go to the capital during the peak time ( 07:15-08:00), i would advise you either set out much earlier or much later!

I am sure, there must be someone who is directly related to the management of Triolet Bus Service (TBS) reading this, so this is for you!

Kot to eter

• kant mo bisin faire porte manteau dan bis dan gramatin?
• kant mo bisin pourri dan soleil pu attane bis ki zamais vini?
• kant gagne place diboute dans ene bis ki ressembler boite sardine?

Another thing….again on the buses from TBS…

Notice the arrows (^ above ^) pointing to the bells (sonnettes).

In most of the buses of TBS, they are situated nearly at the roof of the bus, and now imagine the following scene:

A small girl (like Neha, height : 1m50) stopping at the next bus stop and trying to “peze sonnette”. Poor girl, her hands will never reach the bell, and she will have to ask the help of an adult(long enough) each time she travels in such buses to and from school!!!

This problem does not only concerns Neha, but hundreds/thousands of children, students and elderly people travelling by bus!

Kot lizier bane f**** la ti eter kant zotte ti place sa sonnettes la sa hauteur la?
:@:@:@!!!

meme mwa mo gagne probleme!

This post reflets the reality of loads of inhabitants of Triolet and those from the neighbouring villages, served by TBS!!!

SPREAD THE WORD PLEASE!

btw, i now have 400 friends on facebook

Normally, it starts at $TimeWakeUp, depending on the $Mood and $Health of the blogger, for me being at about 6am if my mood and health is ok.

Like everybody else, bloggers do have their lunch, but, before starting to do anything, the first thing is to actually switch on their computer to check if there are any new comment notifications on his blog or read the latest posts in his feeds reader.

and guess wat???
A new user in his blog!!!

Thats a gr8 thing, enough to start a nice day!

And now, a look at the stats of the previous day:

160 Unique Visitors for yesterday!
that makes the 2nd good news!!! but when this num increases to 200, that is something to celebrate, usually, after that the blogger posts interesting things like the post about Meteo Morice, Ki serti!

Next, get ready for work, university or college, or another boring day at home… without forgetting to sms some sweet words to someone or apologize for falling asleep without being able to reply to the last txt

Once set for work, practically everything that comes in his mind, is a good topic for blogging.

For instance, the students standing by the bus stop, may be an interesting topic,

Special thanks to Nitin for this picture (visit his blog here)

Or on the way to his work, just before the entry to Champs De Mars, another original post could be “The famous & Dangerous 4 pedestrian crossings“, being one of the most dangerous junctions in Port Louis.

Truly, that critical point in Port Louis can prove to be location of a disastrous accident someday, especially with hundreds of ppl moving around, to and from the pre-primary, the primary school, Champ De Mars entry and DCDM Building

Once in work, as soon as the email inbox is loaded, wow, another new email !

A comment that has been just added!

Thks fadil!

A hard day now begins, with lots of work, sometimes with small breaks in between completed tasks, a small cup of coffee, some mins talking with colleagues, helping others to solve problems related to HTML and CSS mainly.

At the end of the day, a tiring day, the blogger leaves the office usually by bus if he finishes work early (5pm-6:30pm) or by a taxi/company car if he finishes late (at about 7pm-4am the next day lol)

Back home, the sister of the blogger moves away from the laptop for a few moments, so that the blogger can sign in again using his msn messenger and chk any mail that has been received from the moment he switched off his pc in office.

And just right now, the blogger is writing this post and once, he publishes this page, he will add a link to his msn messenger, so that his fellow mates can check out his blog and add comments…

And finally, he goes to bed, hoping that tomorrow he will get loads of comments and hits!

So,
now you know how to make him happy,
when he will be checking his mail!!!

Note : this is a true story, adapted from one of the days of the owner of this blog….
