Linux is Funny!!!

While surfing through net i found this funny article.. its a man page from linux..

NAME

date - get and print a date

SYNOPSIS

date [-s] [-local] [-k] [-blind] option=value...

DESCRIPTION

If no arguments are given, a date will be selected at random. Providing an argument will restrict the search pool of dates. Hopefully these arguments will not carry forward into the actual date. Only the superuser can select dates by name.

The -s option registers you in the date database and (if not -local) posts your vitals to alt.personals (and, optionally, alt.sex.wanted).

Using the -k option selects a date, but does not make any further arrangments.

Ranges are specified with parentheses and brackets: (18,25) is 18 to 25 exclusive while [18,25] is 18 to 25 inclusive. An array of selections is given with braces such as "{blonde, brunette, redhead}". Multiple responses are separated with commas, as in "sex=female,yes,please".

-blind To arrange a blind date.

view[=must]

View prospective date's picture. To locate a picture, date searches several picture databases, including FaceSaver alt.sec.pictures, alt.binaries.pictures, and several FTP gif archives. You must have access to the Internet for FTP to work.

If view=must is set, and date is unable to find a picture, a request will be automaticly posted to alt.binaries.pictures.d asking for one.

Options to xv(1) may follow "view" or be put in the environment parameter XV.

The following options restrict the search pool to those who have supplied the necessary information.

dim=range,range,range

height=range
Synonyms are also supported: midget, twerp, short, beanstalk, giant, basketball-player

weight=range
Synonyms: toothpic, feather, wide-load, blimp

age=range
Synonyms: juvenile, underage, thirty-nine, over-the-hill, {mom, dad}, {grandma, grandpa}

sex={male, female}[,{yes, no, maybe}][,opt options]
If sex=yes and you are registering, your vitals are posted to alt.wanted in addition to alt.personals.

race={white, black, native-american, ...}
Various slang terms are also supported.

marriage={flirting, noway, maybe, once, twice, several}
Seriousness and experience.

kids={never, rightaway, oops, have, want}[,{one, two, three, four, bunch}]
Domestic leanings.

FILES

$HOME/.daterc
Optional place to store options, for frequent daters.

$HOME/.datehist
History of dates, to avoid duplication.

$HOME/.persona
Options describing yourself, if you haven't registered in the database. Note that the first time you use date and supply this information, you are registered in the blind-date database.

Won't admit to it!

Moments

Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings , not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply to never leave. Our lives are measured by these.

फिर यूँही

कुछ नया....

उन पत्तों को मैंने उगते देखा है,
उस डाली से, उस पेड़ पे
एक कलि से उभरते देखा है
हरे से भूरा होते देखा है
उन्ही को मैंने उस पेड़ से बिछ्ढ्ते देखा है
डाली को छोड़ कर मिटटी में मिलते देखा है
उन्ही को मैंने गुज़रते देखा है !!


और एक
प्यार होता नहीं, बस हो जाता है
दर्द मिलता नहीं बस मिल जाता है,
क्यूँ अपने अश्कों से मैं ये सवाल करूँ,
कि ये गिला रहता नहीं बस रह जाता है!!

Don wanna Sleep!!!

I don’t want to go to sleep. I want to stay awake for the rest of my life — I feel like I miss too much in sleep — I could listen to so much great music the whole night through — or read all the books I could never have time to read otherwise — or write all the books I could never have time to write-- or sketch — or — just — think the whole night… I’d just have time — time I don’t feel like wasting anytime in the next ten minutes by sleeping….

This started last week with my exams when i had to be awake till 2:00 or so. and after that "House" made my life worse. I get late to class almost each day ... dats not a problem however ;) but i feel nyt time to be more refreshing than day tym. Don know wat to do.
