GP

After exhausting most of the tombs, dargahs, forts, masjids, cafes, bazaars and bookshops, The Delhi Walla has finally compiled a guidebook of what this city is perhaps most admired for: its women. Here is the list of hangouts in the capital where voyeurs can cool off their eager eyes.

Priya Cinema, Basant Lok

The scene outside Priya cinema's box office window at Basant Lok never fails to disappoint. Deep cleavages and low jeans makes this pedestrian strip one of Delhi's most erotically-charged destinations. The air is scented with perfume, cafes are packed with punk-haired kids, and college-goers and day-job yuppies walk hand in hand. Even bookshops are not safe from the invasion of the hotties.

Risk factor: Minimal since the Priya crowd, like ramp walk models, loves to set hearts racing.

Khan Market

Pricey showrooms, trendy restro-bars, and earthy kebab-stalls at Khan Market are the natural home of the beautiful in all hues and varieties—young and old, rich and powerful, desi and expats. Everyone is cool but they're not loud about their cool quotient. They may be botoxed but they never wear fake brands. However, the cleavages here are not that deep.

Risk factor: Quite high but the daring may try.

Paharganj Main Bazaar

If you have a thing for goras, then Paharganj must be your getaway. Its rooftop cafes, roadside bookshops, and makeshift henna stalls shimmer and glimmer with bare arms and barer legs. Loads of Israeli and European tourists lounge about - almost naked!

Risk factor: Not high but the gaze must be shifty so that it escapes notice.

M Block Market, GK-II

Size Zero may be the latest fashion statement but Delhi's attachment to hot aunties with heaving buxoms and salty maturity is always in vogue. Take a trip to M-Block Market and enjoy.

Risk factor: Not high. Aunties like it.

Near Jama Masjid, Old Delhi

If Paharganj tempts by bare flesh, Matia Mahal in Old Delhi allures the senses with delicious mysteries—just what lies beneath those ghunghats and purdahs? Beauty acquires a new meaning. Too bad men wear no veil.

Risk factor: Don't ask.

Statutory warning: Bird watching can be injurious to health.

Bus stop distractions



Shy 'n' modest



Kya bolta tu



Beauty in exile



Madam in red



Perfect symmetry



Old Delhi babes



Drama queen



Classical touch



What lies behind?

I was on my way home,
On the roads like I always roam,
It was then I saw this girl,
Whose legs had a kind of twirl.

Then I called her “hey!need some help?”,
“No,Get lost!” ,was her yelp.
She had no friends and no fun,
she missed every merry under the sun.

“Attitude problem!”,I angrily sighed.
My sympathy for her instantly died.
Then I went home, calm and quiet,
rather argue with her and raise a fight.

Some time later I gave it a thought,
why into such misery she must have got.
Her invalid legs made her feel low,
World’s running fast and she was so slow.

Sympathy , she hated.
Friendship, she needed.
I waited for her the next day,
and found her limping all the way.

She looked sad and glum as always,
Heavy penalty,for a broken limb she pays.
“Hey!Whats your name?”, I called out.
Surprised she was to see me shout.

I slowly made friends with the girl I saw,
She started smiling since then making me awe.
Then I also came to know, crippled were only her limbs,
Not her intelligence for which the whole world whims.

Foolish World!
No body ever knows,
It’s the inside that counts
not what that shows!

Many times I've seen people saying that because of negative marking, one should only attempt questions in objective examinations that one is fully sure of.

I've seen this advice being given for the IIT-JEE, the AIEEE, and even the UPSC exams (negative marking has been introduced ).

This advice is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

Why am I saying so? It's all a question of probabilities. Read on to find out.

Why are negative marks given?

Before negative marking was introduced, several students got through just by guessing questions blindly.

Negative marking is meant to discourage blind guessing.

The keyword is BLIND.

Negative marking is NOT meant to discourage intelligent guessing.

Let's take the example of the IIT-JEE/AIEEE straight (one option correct out of four) questions (+3/-1). Say, there are 60 questions. You do not know the answers to any of them.

1. Guess blindly

Since one out of four options is correct, odds are, you'll get one out of every four questions correct.

That means that you should get around 15 questions correct, and 45 incorrect. So your total will be around (15 × 3 - 45 × 1) = 0, rendering you almost equal to a person who left the paper blank.

This is how negative marking discourages blind guessing.

2. Eliminate 1 option in every question

Let's say you know enough to eliminate one option in every question. Therefore, you have to guess among 3 answers. So the odds are that you get 1 out of every 3 answers correct.

This means that you should get around 20 answers correct, and 40 wrong. The total will be around (20 × 3 - 40 × 1) = 20. This means that you will be better off than if you had left the paper blank.

3. Eliminate 2 options in every question

Your odds will improve further. You should get around 30 answers correct, and 30 wrong. The total will be around (30 × 3 - 30 × 1) = 60. Your score is MUCH better than if you had left the paper blank.

Moral of the story

For a +3/-1 question, ALWAYS guess once you have eliminated at least one answer. ALWAYS.

Note that this is valid for all multiple choice questions in which the negative mark for a wrong answer is 1/(n-1) times the mark for a right answer. n is the number of options.

The situation can change according to the value of the fraction.

For the +4/-1 comprehension questions (in this year's IIT-JEE - 2009/2008/2007):

Even if you guess blindly, in 60 questions your score will be around (15 × 4 - 45 × 1) = 15. Therefore you should ALWAYS attempt such questions, even if you have to guess blindly.

For the +5/-1 multiple answer questions (previous IIT-JEEs):

There are 14 possible incorrect answers and only one possible correct answer. In 60 questions, if you guess blindly, you will get (4 × 5 - 56 × 1) = -36, i.e. badly hit.

If you are sure of one option being correct, there can be 8 possible answers -- you will get 1 out of 8 answers right. The odds are still against you.

If you are sure of 1 correct option and one other option (correct or incorrect), there can be 4 possible answers. The odds are *now* in your favour.

If you are sure of one option being incorrect, there can be 7 possible answers -- the odds are against you.

If you know two options are incorrect, there can be 3 possible answers -- the odds are in your favour.

Therefore, guessing is a bad idea, unless you are sure of two options either way.

Remember -- this is not a substitute for knowing the answers. You will always score the highest if you know the answers.

PS. It is possible that by chance you get all the answers you guessed right, or all the answers you guessed wrong. This chance is very small, however. To get all 60 questions wrong, the chances are (3/4)⁶⁰ = 3.19 × 10^-8. The probability of getting all 60 questions correct is even lower: (1/4)⁶⁰ = 7.52 × 10^-37.

EDIT: Some more information on this can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value . The concept of expected values is also present in gambling, and guessing is quite similar to gambling, in a mathematical sense. The important thing is to get the odds in your favour.

Leave Seerat aside for some time. Lately I've been getting a lot of questions in comments from IITJEE aspirants regarding love life @ IITs.

NOTE: If you are really want to crack JEE, stop here, switch off your computer and don't visit this site before completion of your orentiation period at IIT.

Following text is complied after getting detailed feedback from current students at IITs/ISM/BHU.

For those who don't have time to read the entire post, here is the summary, in two lines.

#1 : BOY + GIRL -------IIT/ISM/BHU + DESERTED PLACE -------> SOLTIONS TO MATHS ASSINGMENT.

*Remember, above reaction will not, under any circumstances, will become William "son" synthesis (pun intented).

#2: Remember, here girls make boyfriends so that they can learn quantum physics from you!

Now lets get to the complete post:

Most of you will come here thinking:

1. Lecture will be interesting and eventful.
2. You will be able to understand whatever prof. will tell us.
   
3. You will find the course content easy(after all we are IITians, thus smart people).
4. You will get good grades and marks easily as we used to get in school.
5. Most importantly, there will be one "NEHA" waiting for us.

Now you guys want "NEHA" because:

1. You never had one.
2. You read "FIVE POINT SOMEONE" and you thought that it would be great to have one.
3. Basic instinct.


Love (*cough* LUST *cough*) Quest:

1. Lists of gals who looked even a little bit decent were made and night long "bhakchodi"aka discussions and plans of getting them were made.

2. Many of the dare-devils tried their luck thinking that it will be on first come first serve basis.Now,these guys have some interesting stories to tell of how painful their acts of dare devilry were .How cold was the response!
3. 2-3 of these guys got nick names for their whole stay here due to thesE acts.don't ask me to mention those events in detail and the names . I don't want to spray salt on their wounds by yelling out what conspired in public.

4. the talks about gals continued day in and day out.
talking to a gal .asking for a pen or a copy was thought of as an achievement and greatly celebrated and if somehow u got caught talking to gal explanation were to be given and a treat(we call it party!) was demanded.
soon picture became clear!(is it now even?)
and 'FUNDAS' FROM SENIORS CAME POURING IN! GOD BLESS OUR SENIORS!

1. GUYS! if u want a gal in IIT go for her now!
   
2. booking will close in one month and u will be left stranded.
3. to tell u the truth these gals r shit!
4. after iit you will get damn gorgeous item, forget these girls here!
   
5. there r better ones outside the campus.
6. don't ever think of a prof's daughter it's IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!

few of them r not shit. they r quite good .i must say. But,this makes the task tougher.If u have a select 4-5 gals which r good and about 500 boys ...u know the price tag.i can't explain the screwed equation(sex ratio) any further.

and as we people researched we found they already r committed long before coming over here.
ha! that was not cool! u know.

days passed and guys around me became despos(desperate) tried radical things...and we got no surprises.

course load and assignments do not allow us to venture out and try our lucks..
so,few guys have started liking boys too. ;)

the dreams of that sunset,walking with NEHA in the lawns ,eating an ice cream cone.those lovely nice talks .those shivers that would have travelled down our bodies on touching her,those divine feeling of having someone special.that caring hand and that beautiful voice which would have got us going. all such wishes .our dreams have been shattered. into pieces...


yea yea yea!
hold on!

She dragged me out of the lab holding my fortunate left hand (My right one would have turned green in envy!)

"Hey, see I know it was none of your fault. Let's go and tell him" She said, looking in my eyes. I was about to get lost in her eyes, but the thought "why the heck shes helping me?" was not letting me do it.

I nodded and followed her to Prof's room. She knocked the door (I felt like a sissy!).

"Come in" A voice came from inside. We entered the room.

"You...You... get out!!!" he said, looking at me, in a repulsive tone.

"Sir, please listen to us!" She said

"There's nothing to listen" He said, balantly.

"Sir please listen to us!" She said, in voice so sweet that even devil would melt, so did he.

"Why are you speaking on his behalf? Is he dumb?" He said, softly.

"Sorry sir!" I said, for the first time.

I don't know what was in his face or may be the way he spoke, it always made me giggle and roll on the floor of my mind.I was trying to pose sincerely in front of him,making a baby face which I loved doing since school days.You got to have this skill ,if you too had those Naughty days in school as me, and u were generally at the wrong place at wrong times.

Seriousness,sincerity were never natural, I had to act,and ,at times i tended to overact.

"Sir he is sorry, let him go!" Man I was lovin' this! She was doing so much for me.

I thought it's over.The devil will let me free,he will forgive me for my 'Cardinal sin' of laughing at him and not listening to him sincerely. I was exulting and dancing in my head.Thanked her and blew kisses, all in my mind.

B, it never ends this easily for me .She was trying to convince him that it was not my fault and am just as sincere student as anybody is, she was facing those droplets of saliva on her pretty face, add to that this his bad breath and you can understand how hard was for her to go through that just for me, and there came one huge one and she sighted it and saved herself getting hit from that missile matrix style, I broke out and giggled loud enough to reach his old ears.

I think he was aware that he had this "Spray bottle" mouth from which those deadly fumes jet out, and people get annoyed by this.

Now,firstly she turned her face and then my giggle which was not musical, so consequence....



"Get out both of you!" He shouted, then he turned to her and said

"You too will face the disco! Be with him there!" He said.

We sneaked out of his room.

I was feeling sorry for her, she came here just to save me and now was in the same trouble.



But, I had no strength to say sorry, we walked a through that corridor and reached the lift.

"See these profs are like this and this prof is infamous over his irritability .My brother told me about few profs with whom one must keep extra care, else they can wreck u all over."

"Your brother told u about him..how..? Was he in ISM too? I said interrupting her in between.

"Ya. he passed out 2 years ago, a Gold Medalist" She said with an obvious gleam in her eyes.

"Oh really? great!' I replied ,internally I was cursing my fate..who wants the brother of the gal you have crush on to be a 'STUD' ? It stamps your mediocrity.

I was lost in realizing how impossible was it to get her..

"Hey! HERO? where r u lost? do you have any plans, any excuse to get out of this? think!!" she said.

HERO? now what was that for. I looked around ,no one was there ,so it must have been for me. Now, first of all i don't look any HERO with this face ,add to that my messy hair, neither i had done any heroic act of mine in front of her, so perhaps, she was being sarcastic!

"Yea am thinking some way out of this. Sorry, I brought you on the same sinking boat"

"Theek hai Theek hai, it's not your fault,The prof is like this, old age and those books make them like this" She said smiling.

How devilish was her smile, a stark contrast with her pure voice, baby face those elegant ear rings, she was full of surprises and i was uncovering them; every moment.

"Yea true, whenever I look at him ,it gets hard for me to resist my laughter. Books and their frustrated life makes them so irritable " I uttered.

I had lots of to say about the profs but i preferred repeating exactly whatever she said. I was following the golden rule don't open your mouth too early and too much in front of people.

"Yea true" she said. I sounded boring to her,it was evident from her short reply.
there was silence for a second then she spoke
"Okie let us go to the lecture, we r already late! Hurry up" and I wanted those combined classes to go forever.

We had to go to the VIth block to attend the class. All the guys were looking at me in awe and envy when I entered the class with her.Man!! there is no better feeling to enter in a lecture hall with a beautiful gal by your side. It's just too satisfying to see green faces!!!!!!!

We took adjacent seats,were already late so had to sit in last rows.It is just normal for me, I have been a back bencher all way through school. Anyways she was there with me on the back seats, she took out her notebook and shifted her attention towards BS the prof was saying and i too did the same.

Though i never loved studying anything except Maths, Physics and Literature, I ,like most JEE crackers have this uncanny ability to concentrate on things and subjects which we had no interest in.

So, in that class too i was concentrating hard, but a sweet flowery smell was distracting me ,on my right adjacent to me was her; sitting so elegantly,gracefully, glowing face with child like innocence and filled with wisdom of the right and wrong!
Am I going over board in appreciating her? No! she is like this, in fact better.
I was immersed in her and she in the topic being done and there she took that pen in her mouth , thinking something, then she lifted her hand.
"ya..answer" said another prof

"Sir, first we draw that top view of the solid ..project on auxiliary plane....and..."

All of the students turned their faces towards her, and there was me totally unaware of the happenings, looking at her like a fanatic looks towards his 'idol'!
the class began to giggle, claps and all diverted her attention but not mine.(I was still immersed in her). She turned towards me, and i was taken aback. Looked away and then I realised i was the center of attention and all those guys and gals were going crazy, watching me seeing her madly.
I tried to compose myself, started looking at her again as if nothing has happened and she completed her answer.

"good" said the prof. I think he had not got anything . They r dumb creatures after all.

"hey! Why were you looking at me like that? These guys will make fun of you" she said, right after the class.

I avoided her eyes, I had no explanation to that, should I have said "You are so beautiful miss, I got lost in u"?
Hell No!!I kept my silence.

"Okay, take care of it next time, I have to go, give me your no. I will call you to discuss what should be done tomorrow in the DISCO".

I thought my ears are ringing, she said something else! How can a gal like her ask for my no.?

"No?? don't u have any?"

"yea..yea..sorry i was thinking of something..here is it 987.......0"

"Thinking something, Yea already seem to be lost in something, you are a complete idiot!" She said, smiling.

I loved that, if a gal calls u an idiot so lovingly it is always a good omen!

"Meet me at the NESCKI at 9 PM ,I will be waiting for u and let me know what u have thought as an excuse, bye now!"

"yea sure..bye"

We waved a short bye and I walked back to hostel thinking all along the way if she had to call me to the nescki, why she took my no.?

I was of course on cloud nine, it was hard to touch the ground, the winds were taking me in those fantasy worlds. And it was magical, I remembered her devilish smile, and paused the reel in the memory to just look at her smile, with full devotion.

More Later....
