Spiderman III- Alternative Story
Spiderman III- Alternative Story magnify
After Being disappointed by Spidey's Third offering of the series, I decided to have a story of my own in place of this one. Take a look at my version of Spiderman-The Third and suggest any changes, if you feel like...

And thanks to Karthik for having encouraged me to write this blog


---------------------------------------

Peter Parker Feels confident of himself and decides to propose Mary Jane for Wedding, he enjoys all the adulation and respect of the New Yorkers. Peter Parker is no longer the guy he was at once(S-2). Now he is more confident,brash and a little ego creeps into his mind. More after receiving keys to the city in special ceremony and along with the new found glory. The fact that He is Spiderman gets too much into Peter parkers head. He capitulates on the fame game and kisses one of his rescues in a Spidey way. This is much to the discomfort of Mary Jane (who is struggling with her career as Broadway actress) and slowly the relation between them starts to strain.


Now harry starts from where he ended in part 2. Fresh with all the cool new gadgets and the suit, he seeks to avenge his fathers death, believing Pater Parker/Spidey is responsible to his death. Harry pushes for a fresh attack on Spidey, Spiderman's experience in duels and superior acrobatic skills help him in over coming The New Goblin. How ever he saves the unconscious Goblin(Harry) from a fall, for him being his best friend.


A tiny meteor crashes from the sky with a Symbiote(a mysterious substance) attached to it. This Symbiote Attaches it self to Peter Parker's Bike, which slowly makes way and attaches it self to Spider-man. The symbiote has mysterious property, it amplifies any physical and mental dimensions of the carrier. And Thats what it did to Spider man. His suit turn black and now he becomes more powerful,arrogant and is full of Vengeance. He inflicts heavy injuries(some times even kills) on all those Law breakers instead of simply handling them to police as he once did.


It turn out that the dark Spider-Man becomes unfriendly and turns into an Ego Maniac. Spiderman's popularity now is at an all time low. So much so that the NYPD was ordered to terminate Spiderman in any further mis-event.


In the midst off all this Peter Parker losses his temporary job as photographer to a new guy(Eddie Brock) who captured all the infamous incidents of The Dark Spiderman. Peter Parker developes a hatered for his replacement and convinces his editor that Eddie Brock tampered with few of the Spiderman reports and humiliates him. And hatred for Eddie Brock is deeply rooted in Spiderman, he later inflicts blows and shows off his arrogance by unmasking himself. He challenges Eddie Brock and New Yorkers to do anything in their power to stop him from doing what ever he does.


And as if it is not enough Peter Parker pays no heed to Mary Jane and ends an already strained relation, by smacking her hard. Now free from relationship,Peter Parker succumbs to all new temptations and indulges in philandering and he even considers dropping out from college. All this happens to be too much for Mary Jane, her failing career and the ruin of Peter Parker, she finally leaves New York. While this happens Peter Parker gets a new girl friend, Eva Blurr.


Harry (the new goblin) was plotting all along to kill Spidey. He was just waiting for the right moment. It seemed as if there is no better time.


Aunt May worried over the ways of Peter Parker advices him saying "One must confront oneself in order to change"(damn!! now i realize,I'm so bad at those hard hitting dialogs) .

He dives into a deep introspection, which was further enhanced by Symbiote (remember? it can amplify or increase the intensity). And Spiderman realizes that the Symbiote is the cause.


He goes to the top of church (i don't get it,they call it something) and tries to unbind the Symbiote, but it proves too tough..He tries real hard, but in vain..Later Spiderman tries to unbind it by exposing himself to extremely high temperatures at a factory, by risking his life...miraculously it does unbind. Spiderman now is now the same old one we know, except he is full of guilt now.


Thats exactly when Eddie Brock who visits the factory for some stupid reason(which i cant think off at this point of time). Is unfortunately binded with the symbiote. And thus all new powerful VENOM is born, he (Eddie Brock) is still fresh with the bitterness toward Spidey/Peter Parker for all that he has done. The venom(Eddie Brock) is more powerful than Spiderman because the Symbiote felt Spiderman betrayed it by getting rid of him.


Finally VENOM takes Peter Parker's new girl friend as hostage and challenges Spiderman. It definitely is a big ask for Spiderman to slip across overwhelmingly powerful Venom. Spiderman takes up the challenge.But his intentions were not to destroy VENOM but to help Eddie Brock get over the Symbiote. For he know how it can corrupt one and more because he believes he is responsible for the fate of Eddie Brock. While Venom always out to kill Spiderman, during the great duel VENOM ends up killing Peter Parker's new girl friend.


Just before VENOM is about to finish off Spiderman, surprisingly Harry (New Goblin) who also seeks the death of Spiderman comes to his rescue. Both of them work together to keep VENOM

engaged and finally succeed in unbinding and destroying the Symbiote, while saving Eddie Brock.


In the climax scene Spiderman asks Harry "Why?"



THE END




---------------------------------------------------








Both the best friends remain to be so...

But the lovers fell farther apart...

While The coffin of Eva Blur lies on Spiderman's conscience...







What Made Harry (New Goblin) help Spiderman?



Will Spiderman Get Mary Jane back?


Will Spiderman gain back the trust of the people?




I am sure we can answer these questions is Spiderman-4

Paris Hilton & Geek Update
Guys you Know why I am Happy?? Paris Hilton in all probability might have to stay in jail at least for a couple of months. Don't know why, but the news to me was heart felt and was deeply satisfying. :P

And theres lot of action brewing over the net, Microsoft is seriously pursuing to take over Yahoo! for a sum of 50 billion dollar.

The real shocker was the shut down of Yahoo! photos, which is likely to be announced officially sometime now. Thats some bad news...really bad new..

And Now this is news....funny to say the least...The Digg team deleted a story that linked to the decryption key for HD DVDs after receiving a take down demand and all hell broke loose. More stories appeared and were deleted, and users posting the stories were suspended.That just got the Digg community fired up, and soon the entire Digg home page was filled with stories containing the decryption key. The users had taken control of the site, and unless Digg went into wholesale deletion mode and suspended a large portion of their users, there was absolutely nothing they could do to stop it.

Microsoft reboots Web, with the launch of Microsoft Silverlight, Silverlight is much superior FLASH equivalent. Seems like its some good news for flash haters. And check out the review of Silverlight from techcrunch. If you have patience just check out the capabilities of Silverlight from the site,they were really impressive.

Yahoo! Messenger team finally felt the need for a browser based Web messenger. So all those who curse their fire walled office servers, have reason to rejoice. Here comes the Yahoo! Web Messenger And heres the official announcement

Cheating In Exams: A complete Reference
Its exam time. I am done with One while five more to come. Exams mean late sleepless nights, those anxious hours, phone calls inquiring about the progress of your mates, whatever be the answer you can be sure, they lie anyway. And finally preparing for the exams, few choose to sincerely study, while other prepare to cheat.


Preparing to cheat is not as easy as it seems,for sometimes it might be more tedious than learn stuff. This in fact is quite interesting, the ways and means usually the student community adopt to cheat.



TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

The first prerequisite to qualify the nerves test, the braver and bolder,the better. And you even need to be deft liar,you will know later know why? Now you will have to carefully plan out a strategy, and more important thing never try to cheat on the first exam of a series, for you never know the kind of invigilating you have. Usually you have same seating arrangement for all the exams, so wait until you get a feel of the surroundings.


1. If your seating is next to the window even better, you can carry slips. For it is easy to get rid of them during an emergency check, just in case.


NOTE : This is quite risky,but remember never carry slips in you pockets. Just tuck them under your socks. If that is inconvenient you can always wear cargos, for they have multiple pockets and people hardly have patience to check all of them


2. And for all those who carry Caliculators to exam hall, the complete flip side is open to take down what ever you want.


NOTE : Always write with a pencil, so that you can destroy the evidence of cheating just by rubbing it off with your palms in case of a fiasco. The advantage with this is medhod is pencil when written on dark colored plastic is visible only at some angles, so chances if getting caught are minimal.


3. Wear a full sleeve shirt, and write what ever you can on your fore arms and don't let your fold up your sleeves, for you can cover what you wrote with it.


NOTE : This method is advisable for those who do not sweat profusely and have dark skin tone. And more over don't use gel pens, they blot even on your skin. A ball point pen is perfect,but make sure what you write is legible and not dark. Don't write so much on your fore arms, make it as brief as possible.


4.And do you know? you can even make notes on your hand kerchief, Always use a white one. Write up the stuff you need and fold it up inside.


NOTE : Just fold the kerchief initially and then write later strategically based on the way in which a kerchief opens up itself, to make it more convenient.


5. You can use digital aids, usually in the practical exams where you get to move here and there and hardly would any one be supervising. Just click all your circuit diagrams or any other formulae you need in a phone.The higher the pixel clarity the better.


NOTE : If you don't have good phone cam, click the content with digital camera and load it to your phone. Make sure the content folder is password protected, if you get caught you can always give away the piece with confidence. This method is safe if you have non-geeky staff supervising you, cause they hardly understand technology.


6. You can also use a 30 GB iPOD. You can audio record and upload any essay answers which you think are important...you even store some formulae pics in it.


NOT E : Phone is preferred over iPOD. For girls you just let your hair loose, and plug in a small blue tooth device to your ear so that hair tresses cover em up. Just play the answer and keep writing.


7. Copying directly from your neighbours is always discouraged, for it being time consuming...How ever you can pass information via a carrier, just open up the pen and place a slip in sides and pass it on. Or pass the calculator or scales with some info on them.



SPECIAL NOTE:

->Cheaters Are encouraged to use their creativity as long as it is not stupid enough.

->If caught, first deny it. If he is hell bent, just beg for a pardon.

->Never show off attitude at the squad, once you get caught.

->Don't act paranoid. Be as cool as possible.

->Get rid of slips and other written content as early as possible.

->Scribble everything on the last paper of the answer sheet right at the beginning of the exam. And erase all the things written on calculators, forearms etc as soon as you jotted them.


And now please add any other tips and tricks the list. Our students will be grateful for your invaluable suggestions.

What of me remains?
We all would love to think we are special, but in reality, much to my annoyance it pains me..because "I am plain ordinary and insignificant" ..Some day I will be dead and burnt if i dont burn,i will be buried and will lay rotten. What in me remains? or rather What of me remains?


We all are tagged with My Perspective, My Ideas, My feelings, My this and My that, but we are all lesser mortals. Musicians and writers they do it so effectively, they get to channelize and convey them so effectively. I mean how do they do it? Do lines come out of their pens just like that? Or do they try hard to make lines and sentences which are not just cool but also mean deep.



I would want to be immortal, not physically but at least is some form or the other...some people are just as lucky as musicians, artists, writers and all...though they die, the idea of them or the thought of them still remains. I know it really doesn't matter what ever people talk of you after you die. But imagine inspiring a generation of people and then they talking about you and your work. Forget about making a difference but at least making an impression in others hearts, even if it is for a few moments, would be deeply contending.



I would like to believe that I am either a Writer,Novelist or a Journalist equipped with all the instruments and tools of English Vocabulary,so that i can trans-muse all my emotions,the mental stimulation into words. Its like,i know what feel and what i think,but putting the thought process into words is not as easy as it seemed. Even if i made an attempt to write,i find it hard to weigh between what to include and what not to. I am certain that i neither have any purpose nor the need to put in words,but it is strangely satisfying deep inside.


Some times I wonder what is so Intellectual Or so Incoherent about my blog. Since it has been tentatively titled ‘Intellecutal Incoherence‘, probably a lame attempt to flaunt my limited vocabulary which most of the times is saturated. :P


But here is some good news for all those who blog, blogging is like an elixir, you are slowly structuring your immortality, blog by blog and day by day. Even after, say you die, people can still know there existed a person called 'XYZ' or may be someday my great grandson reads my stuff and realizes how desperate his great grand dad was, to be special.



________________________________________

It appears to me that i suffer from some strange disease which always presses me to act and be smart,I often ponder over the fact..”Does staying smart work for me?” Well lets hope it does some day…
