Fortnight update - I

IPL fever is back once again.I dont know if it holds the same hype as it did last year.I havent watched one match this season so I am guessing I can do without it.Last time I watched most of the matches,had a few silly bets,went to the Koramangala indoor stadium to watch the finals on the big screen.This time,I dont feel the same.I dont favour any particular team but I really hope Kolkata knight riders give some good comeback.After all the effort and pain SRK has put/gone thru it would be nice to see them reach finals for his sake alone.I am okay with anything.I can imagine the scene back in the bms hostel.Throughout the match there will be betting and beers! Thats all that happens throughout the ipl season,the nearby bars make money and individual pockets turn inside out! I am glad I am not part of the hostel madness anymore.Phew!

I havent had a relief in my daily schedule but yet I make time now to check on my small fish tank and make sure I watch Travel and Living with a Superstar - Shahrukh Khan every friday at 9pm.Thats the only time I watch tv in a week.I never go near the tv otherwise and I am very sure that after 7 weeks once the series is over I will not go back to watching tv again.It doesnt interest me these days especially when I can watch movies on the laptop.

8th semester project is still a pain in the ass.Whoever told me 8th sem is easy, seriously what were you thinking?! That you have just 4 subjects instead of 8 or that you have to attend classes only thrice a week?! Which part of the last semester is good?! The only thing I can think of right now is the proposed Goa trip happening with classmates.Nothing else is interesting and the much awaited BMS fest too wont be worth the wait.I think we had a set of great seniors who took the Utsav fest seriously.For now, let Utsav happen in bangalore and I will go back to re-live Goa.

Last time I returned from Goa, I always had the thought that it must happen again.There is something about that place that keeps playing in your head.It maybe the calm beaches,the narrow roads that lead to the beaches,the crowd,the shacks,etc.Few years later I want to get up one morning,pick up a handful of friends and say 'We are going to Goa' , total Dil Chahtha hai style.Damn but I dont have a Mercedes convertible,like the one Aamir khan drove! I'll manage with some car then.

If I had more than 24 hours a day, I would really appreciate that at this point of time.I wanted to re-start my habit of reading but I still havent made time for that.I pick up a newspaper in the morning and then manage to read it throughout the day in the canteen/class/bus journeys.I find the Economic times and the Financial Chronicle more interesting to read than the Times of India.Few classmates thought that part was a little weird.Maybe I am too tired going thru pages of Bangalore times page 3 parties that I totally gave up on reading the main newspaper as well.I have this book by title 'Chicken Soup',its a set of short stories.I am yet to start on that,right now I'll just finish the Mens health magazine I picked up last week.

I watched this tamil movie at home.
Vinaythaandi Varuvaya,sweet movie! Something toally different,the climax I thought was great.Not the usual predicted ending,it was a great watch.
I was told that is was way better than Varaanam Ayiram.I dont think so but yeah I would rate this movie a decent 4/5.AR Rahman music definitely adds to the credit!

I'll post maybe after I am done with my internals and prior to Goa trip.
Till then , sayonara!

Turning 22..

So here I am typing out the first post after I turned 22 ( Feb 24th ). Thanks to all those who wished and were there for the cake cutting at sharp 12.Actually I have never cut a cake at 12 o clock.First year in hostel I was too worried bout the seniors kicking my butt black and blue so I managed to escape that scene with some excuse or I guess I went back to my granny's.So this was something very special indeed for me to remember as the only birthday I have cut cake at 12.I so sound like an Oldie now.

Once again I'v had a hectic week though the project hasnt started full fledged as yet,I can feel the work load kicking in.

I have more to say but right now I have to get back to the Damn project, I will come back over the weekend for sure.
Till then,
Sayonara

When the Tigers broke free..

As promised in the previous post I am back, maybe it took time to return though.My net had issues opening blogger and gmail over the past couple of days so I kept delaying my post even.


I remember this song by Pink Floyd, ' When the tigers broke free '.

Aircell's initiative of working on the tiger awareness is really great.I am hoping something can be done as its already high time.We just have 1411 tigers left.In a hope to see more of them in the years to come, I will proceed with my post for the day...

So lets see, I guess the Shiv Sena / Srk controversy has taken a back seat, now that he realised he cant do shit.I still dont understand why people cant take/keep things simple and straight.He wanted Pakistani players to play in the forthcoming IPL.Now whats wrong in that.They are just players, they are not the Al-Qaeda( If thats the right spelling ) If they have so much anger in them about Pakistan and its people why react against someone in India who just had an opinion related to a game enjoyed by a global audience?! Such brainless people in the country, they just take things in the wrong sense,blow it out of proportion and end of the whole fiasco no gain at all.Upset a lot of people for their show of stupidity.I dont give a shit to these people, I'll watch the movie whatever happens.

Another bunch of jackasses in Bangalore wanted to spoil Valentines day.They feel its not part of our culture and stuff like that.They want only married people sitting together as a couple and they warned everyone around that they would get two individuals married if found hanging around outside in the city.Even after being beaten black and blue by the youth congress, Muthalik still stood by his word.Then again he couldn do shit around.

Bangalore maybe one of the hottest cities in India soon, the weather now is unbearable.I wonder how its going to be in April.There is absolutely no point taking bath and using the perfume.In maybe an hour or so,its all back to sweat and feeling yuck overall.


Yes, I was finally making a list of things I want to have/places to visit/etc. I am done with it yet but I'll give a start to it with this post.Probably have an extension to it in the future posts.FYI Points mentioned below may not necessarily be part of this year's list( I dont have that kinda list ).Its just an overall thing.



1.Rottweiler











He is going to be my most valued possession in the future.


2.Canon EOS 1000D




I've been dying to own this from a long time,its just taking too long.I must try my hand at lotteries soon.



3.New Zealand





Dont ask me why I have such a fascination for this place.If I get a chance to go there I am taking it with no second thoughts.



4. Doberman





I totally love this breed and in remembrance of my previous doberman, Spike.


5.Corbett National Park





This is one place I want to go soon, am hoping its going to be one of the first trips I make once I start working.Shit, I need to get the Canon before I make this trip.


For now I will give a stop to my list,will continue soon when I have the time to sit like this.


Oh yes,my resolution for this year and maybe for a couple of years down the lane.I speak too much and the way I say things,unintentionally might not sound acceptable.I'll go back to keeping a part of my thoughts to myself.

I am complicated,I am weird and I'd like to keep a few things to myself from now on.


Until the next post :)

Cheers.

In a hope..

So here I am after a really long break.I had planned to do a lot of things during my semester break and I havent done any.I eventually dropped out the plan of making my list of new year resolutions/things I want/to do in the coming year.I didnt find the time to even finish a 200 page novel I have been holding on to for months now.Thats how preoccupied I am but if you ask me to list out things that keep me busy throughout the day,its the usual engineering student life and a little bit more of say a tv series(Friends/Big Bang).

Whats wrong with me?! I have absolutely no time for myself,to have a relaxed day with no where to run to/things to do/college,etc.I actually had a pretty relaxed time in Muscat and then when I had that period of time off I totally forgot that I have to make my list/blog/finish my novel.BLAH! I was just lazying around looking at the two new parrots at home,gold fishes in the aquarium,playing chess with my 13 year old brother.I am glad I taught him how to play and now he is extremely good for a 13 year old.Was surprised see him play a few games with me,the way he took things so quickly out of my hands.
Proud of him,atleast I can still play my favourite indoor game years down the lane at home with him.

Oh yes,I started with this post to mention about Shahrukh khan coming to Bangalore for a global quiz organised by IIPM.I didnt care bout the quiz but yes my long time wish of seeing him live came true last evening at the Koramangala indoor stadium.A day I'll never forget - 8th February.Now that this has happened once,I am in a hope it will happen once more in the years to come.

I am hoping to post more often,I am hoping to read more.In a way they could be related.

PS: Option of uploading pictures side by side not working on blogger.Something really wrong,actually even my phone/net acting a little cranky today.

So for the time being,this is all I got to say.

I'll get back soon.
Cheers.

Departure..

First things first, Happy new year. I dont know if this year is gonna be a happy one or no but then again I like having some hopes. So right now I am sitting at the Blore international airport making use of their limited one hour wireless.Finally I just have one more semester to go before I can call myself an engineer.Blah.I dont know if thats a relief but I am glad 4 years of this journey is coming to an end.

Maybe because I was born in blore or maybe the good times I have had here.Everytime I leave this place, I am sad. Even if its for a week for my yearly trip to kerala or presently my trip to muscat I am never in my high spirits.The moment I reach my next destination I have started my countdown to be back in blore.Once I am done with my engineering,if at all I am not in blore I wonder how I'll feel.

I was supposed to be posting earlier with my list of new year resolutions/thing I want/to do,etc.Just when it was new year eve I fell sick,viral fever.I still dont have my list,I dont know if I'll get the time to make one this month.I'll have it ready once I am back in blore on the 2nd.

Its time for check in so I'll take leave now.

Miss you blore very much fr a lot of reasons.

Orkut Jerk!

Half way through the Vtu War and now I cant wait to be done with the rest.I dont recall when I was actually free last.When did I go for a movie or had a chilled out time?! Whoa, I cant seem to recall at all.Arrghh, vtu really has its effect!

So how did the exams go so far?! No,I am neither a nerd or really bothered bout explaining how they were.I'll talk bout something else.

New year is just round the corner and like always I am trying to make a new list of resolutions.Ofcourse all of it I cant keep upto,but the list part I will do.I am going to even make a list of things I want/want to do the coming year/years etc. I am still working on it,so far just got some two points.So whenever it has enough points I'll put it up.


Oh yes now coming back to the topic.Some Ass$%&* has made an Orkut profile with the same display pic I have on my blog.My cousin calls me one evening to tell me that she has accepted my friend request n Orkut,a Social networking site.I used to be on that site years ago but got rid of it so this news was something! I went ahead to check the profile using my Cousin's id.Best part is that he did have my pic as his display picture and had 83 friends then! I went through the list of his friends, I didnt know even one guy/girl in that list.Totally random ppl.I ran a search on google images and realised that he got the pic from google images as my blog is public.At first, I thought I'll report abuse but then I thought let him do what he wants.He cant get hold of any more pics and I cant run behind some ass who is that jobless.So I deleted him from my cousin's profile and asked her not to accept any more requests from him.Smart and desperate he is,he sent her a couple of requests after that repeatedly.Such a #$%*head!


My condolences to Sunil's family and friends.May his soul rest in peace.We miss you.

Computer Lab :)

Computer Programming and Simulation Lab
(7th Semester VTU war)


I just managed to get the easiest program to execute.I was still not very sure of getting the output.I never intended to while I was mugging them.Anyways as I got the easiest of the lot(Pure LUCK!), I thought I'll try to execute it.It didnt happen and I called ma'am to ask her what could possibly be the problem.

Ma'am: ' Rahul,you are very lucky today! Pls check the loop once again.

I thought for a while.went thru the program once again.I definitely couldn figure out anything to do with the looping statements.I called the external guy next.I dont recall his name but he was from RV.He reminded me of Selvi's brother,his actions and speech were so similiar to hers.BTW, Selvi is the lady who teaches Food Technology.

Rv chap: 'Check the loop,your program is right'
Myself: (You idiot,I dont know jackshit about C or C++) 'Sir, I checked but I dont know where is the mistake.

He looked into the monitor for a while and then he made a correction.He asked me to execute after that.It worked,I got the Damn Output and that means I am sure to pass.

Rv chap: 'Come for Viva.'

Myself: (Prepared my viva-smile)

Ma'am: 'Rahul hates programs sir.He is a very bright student but doesnt put his complete effort.Today he is a very lucky boy to get this program.

Rv chap: 'Rajan,is she right?!'

Myself: (Smiling still)' Yes sir.I have tried my level best to understand programming right from 11th std.I havent and I really dont like the subject.'

Rv chap: 'Its great that you can actually mug the programs and write in paper without a scratch'.

Myself: (Still smiling even though my jaws are aching now,its been ten minutes)

Rv Chap: Carry on with your Simulation.


I finished my simulation in another an hour or so.I really didnt care if I didnt have the right values for simulation.I was very happy that I am going to get away with this lab anyways.

Myself: 'I am done Ma'am'.'
Ma'am: 'You can tell goodbye to this lab and hopefully programming for life,Rahul'
Myself: 'Thank you very much Ma'am.'


Curtains down!:)
