Posting something here after a long hiatus...The other blog takes my time and ofcourse this is only for vetti time...

For all the really vetti guys out there, I have an idea for you to spend some time usefully without spending a pie. Who said there is no such thing as a free lunch?

Checkout Vipassana Meditation, these people give you a 10 day stay and free food and also teach you meditation techniques. Sounds cool?

Well here's the catch. You gotta follow the following timetable in full rigor -

Sweet isn't it. I can't even imagine doing it for 1 day leave alone 10 days. Anyways I hope those who went thru it attained brahmanhood...I won't go thru this for anything less ;)

Warning:If you haven't yet read what Ennui means, I strongly suggest that you do so before continuing any further.

OK.If you have come this far, I assume that you are currently in a state of total vettiness!

TVQ or Total Vettiness Quotient here at Great lakes (I suppose it works elsewhere as well) can be easily measured using three checks. One, the number of orkut scraps, two, the number of open chat windows on meebo or three, the number of blog posts in a week.

Plugging numbers to these 3 variables, my vettiness meter reads as follows -

June
Totally Vetti------------------------------|------------Totally Studious

July
Totally Vetti-----------|-------------------------------Totally Studious

Lemme check your TVQ now, Try to answer the following questions asap.
