well 4 gone , 3 more to go ... whenever the exams turns up , my laziness tends to increase and a sudden premonition seems to grip me post 9 am on exam days . it is due to this "PHOBIA" that i tend to forget answers , try and think as if i were penning down a poem . and write slowly , thereby wasting time . the paper's in RMT, ACA and CC/CN were all easy , but i guess with a little more reading before the day of the exam ,and avoiding the 9 am disaster syndrome i could acquit myself better.

i am blogging after a long time .. so happy to be back in cyberspace.

well the exams start on wednesday and i have a double header on thursday , so i am preparing like a maniac for both those exams.
i heard TV TODAY and AAJ TAK are covering BLOGGER's from Chennai tommorow evening at 5 30 at "amethyst" a joint near sathyam cineplex off peter's road ., but i guess with the exams coming up , going there is a bleak possibility..............

preparations are slowly taking shape , i 've taken 5 days ofor RMT and DM , but havent managed to allocate time for any of the other subjects , so i guess after the RMT exam , i have to really concentrate and push myself harder( easier said than done).

my telephone's out of order and my comp's moved to a new place , which dosent have a telephone line in that room. so any message to be passed on may be via e-mail to me.

There seems to be some sense of desparation , in the preparation this time. i daily keep a log of no of hors studied vs no of effective hours of studying . well all this bcoz i've always managed to miss the bus , as far as scoring is concerned in Madras university BE exams, partly due to my college's internal system and some "amazing" correction by Madras univ and ...... some laziness on my part.

today finished a chunk of RMT with the PERT,SIMPLEX, and sequencing stuff, got started on GRAPHICS programming in java. The only subject yet to untame is DSP, which is should be starting in all earnest in some time .

I am feeling like Saurav ganguly, a good player , out of form , being sorted out by the pace bowlers (MADRAS UNIVERSITY IN SEM 3,4,5) and handled some rough decisions by the umpires( APNA COLLEGE ) , always saying to myself " FORM IS TEMPORARY CLASS IS PERMANENT" and waiting for the right time to run into some form . well now the spinners are bowling (MADRAS UNIV 6TH SEM) and i guess it's time for KARTIK "ganguly" to aim for the stands .

till the next post , it's me saying a pensive BYE .

I a, just short of going nuts, i tend to put in as many hours of sleep as i study . here are some stats

i got up at 3 15 this morning , studied upto 5 15 , got up at 7 , read the news paper till 8 and studied upto 10 30 am. then came back at 12 pm and slept till 2 pm , until a phone call woke me up and studied for an hour upto 3 , and slept from 3 to 5 pm. .......

bugged with such a schedule tonight , i've gotta pull up the socks and do some serious studying. i some times fall asleep whenever i am too involved ,

well the SS lab went of fine , but todays lab was a tragedy , as i couldnt get the output after doing the program for about an hour . was so shattered coz the network connection to the server didnt work and i didnt even have the chance to show the last minute - output . came home in a dull mood sleeping throughout the journey from avadi to velachery .

the next few days are damn importnat as i have to gather all my books , sit tight in one place and gear up for the coming theory exams. till then it's ADIOS AMIGO

My mind seemed to be in a pensive mood throughout the day, i was struggling with the lab programs coz most of them had some typo errors in them so was waiting for the official set of programs (tested and debuggged) to arrive via e-mail. my SYSTEM SOFTWARE lab is on monday, but i have booked myself for some engagements on saturday< blogger national discussion panel meet> and free CAT math shortcuts in Loyola on Sunday from 10 to 1 . no guy in my college would be attending these meetings , coz they apart from studying , follow the least risk policy as they dont want the schedule to be crowded. a typical VEL guy would be scoffing at me for attending "unwanted" things , instead for studying for the lab. so this kind of a feeling a year back would grip me and i ould just think from a "VEL" menatality and not go for any extra actvities. but i am happy that i have freed myself from the clutches of that type of thinking and am acting according to my heart.

so gotta come home and do some coding for the lab, while i attend my TIME CAT class . Kishore and ashish would not be comin for the meet tomm and that's kind of sad , bcoz these are teh very few guys in our college who have some spirit , when it comes to enjoying and freaking out. Arvinfd said he might make it , but his coming is a big IF .

hmmmm jus saw a MICROSOFT ad saying " buy 5 liscenses get the 6th liscence free".It's sad to
know that such a big software company is doing all these bargaining stuff, as it is not able
to tackle the menace of piracy. well me being a S\W engg , i can feel the pain and the sleeepness
nights that goes into making a software, but what do students do to to help the cause?

a biz of a different genre - buy a cd , GET ALL THE S/W FREE and to avoid online support
(botheration rather) CD KEY'S are given as incentives every month to keep the "customer" happy
my lab exams are round the corner and i have just started to dig deep into the underlying code,
and discovered i am on the tip of the ice berg as far as portions are concerned. so gotto step
on the gas and do a "ricky ponting " tommorow to finish the portions .

Well the bubble had to break some time after it flew like a gas filled balloon across the grass laden fields of SouthAfrica. The Indian bubble strayed a little too long near the colorful kangaroo , which decided to have a peck at the bubble and made sure that the balloon never took off from the ground , something akin to the kangaroo viewing the bubble as a dangerous insect to be crushed instantly before it inflicted the venom of pain.

well how does it feel to play second fiddle ? in a team game it's always the problem of sharing
the defeats or victories amongst ur mates. the rise to fame of an individual is dependent on the fortunes of the team , and the individual some times gets his place in the sun, but a team victory is always hailed as priority . Isnt this concept of team sport killing brilliant individuals like Sachin tendulkar,Brian lara......... just because the other ten that make the
team are mercurial in their execution.

Imagine that WORLD CUP of cricket is similar in stature to the WIMBLEDON and a player of
Sachin's stature is playing in his first "wibledon finals " whereas his other sport counterparts like Tiger Woods and Pete Sampras have already climbed the great wall of fame winning in innumerable finals . some times sport is cruel when team work is involved . i can fully empathize with the feeling of Sachin , as i echoe the same sentiments , languishing for that perfect team to make the transition from the nadir to the zenith .

THE WEEK LONG SLEEPING FESTIVAL ENDS
----------------------------------------------------------------------

well our model exams have finally ended that is a big sigh of relief as the exams for me and many of my classmates would start the xam gazing into the paper as if it's a huge hospital bill , begin scratching our head ........., slowly we remember that "oh this was probably taught when we were roaming around in that college attending ..... symposium. 9 30 is the time i shoot out theb answers on the 30 pages booklet. every time i write an answer i feel guilty that i am expanding it by a factor of 5 , leaving big gaps between lines ( call that neat ) and by the time i finish 2 essay questions my steam runs out . i have to refresh my memory and extract the bits of xtraa info that is there among the hidden files in my H drive( hypothallamus). during model exam i essentially have no hard disc only a RAM which registers the info scanned from 7 am to 9 20 am . so the RAM needs to be refreshed , so i do a CTRL ALT DEL and close my CPU by shutting my eyes for abt 20 minutes . thsi process is repeated for every answer that is after 10 30 am.

the system scan after a hard fought battle to recover data , crashes at 12 pm , when the memory is switched of from data in the text and new data about what the CPU ( my brain) is to doa fter 12 30 is entered ( like where to eat , what to eat........what should be the playlist on my SONY player this evening in the bus .

well this CPU just needs an upgradation to a hard drive from RAM , and that will be installed from march 31st temporarilly upto april 30th ( scheduled date of egg jams).

i've just recovered from from a severe stomach ache that i had over2 days , with frequent bouts of vommiting . donno whethet it's due to food poisoning or some thing that i drank . my stomach suffered from acidity .......... felt like ONGC had opened it's branch right here in my stomach and had all it's "industrial waste" let out thru my mouth( vommit).

another slender factor that spoilt my mood was the prescence of Mandira Bedi , the world cup anchor on SONY TV . her comments are so childish and it definitely puts SONY in a spot of bother , comparing to the analysis probided by ESPN STAR.
Mandira Bedi is proffesional in dropping her neckline , which she thinks will have viewers glued to SONY MAX, but i guess the viewers are all hardcore cricket fans and they dont need to see Mandira's treasures to watch the MATCHES.

tommorow our model starts , and i am yet to touch the books as i was unwell over the past 2 days .

finally the lab record is over in time , thatz suprising coz i finish it in 14 days days after time of deadline , but now it's over quickly, thanx to anand and co as we did the print outs at his place , rather than fight for the solitary printer ( the comp that has all the programs with all the neccesary files , next to a working printer) in college with 240 potential candidates to have their codes etched in B4 shets

can some one pls tell me how do i get a proper counter on my site and a comments page coz my blog setting says that the code in the settings shouldnt be greater than 500 characters

yesterday , we heard some big changes made in the coll internal system. heard that a pass /60% in the class testas would give us full marks and there are marks to be added for people winning in symposiums . SONE KA SUHAGA is what it can be described , but one has to keep the fingers crossed as the academic cell is yet to confirm it.

yesterday was a legalised bunki from college. it goes like this

the 1st period was boring , so i stealthily took the HINDU from my classamate and browsed thru the second page , where i came across an ad showcasing MAC,ADOBE and HP along with a seminar . o got the permission and beliveit or not the college transport dept alloted us a TATA SUMO to ferry us upto avadi . the MAC and APPLE were amazing in looks as well as functionality .came home to see the "indian buterfingers show " and woke up this morning to the good news that India had beaten kenya .

well i'm pumped up about the blogger meet tommorow and i wouldbe having 3 guys from my college comin there
myself , kishore and ashish rai

this year my birthday was celebrated by attending the double header quiz at M I T chrompet , where as usual i qualified in the finals of the tech quiz as well as general quiz , but didnt win . i have called quits when it comes to attending symposiums bcoz my college is just not supportive , as the teachers keep on fuming that i hardly stay in class , and have got an impression that i am a bad boy( so childish on part of my teachers) . the teachers dont probably know what symposiums mean , and think attending symposiums just an excuse to freak out and bunk college, esp my lab incharge who has taken a new dislike for me.

but as far my future is concerned , i still have no firm holding in my mind as to whether i want to do my MBA or try my MS abroad.
doing MS has become very routine and instead of investing a fortune abroad in doing a mundane coding course living in an alien world , there are many good institutes in India offering better PG programmes like the IIIT'S AND IIT'S , and on the other hand i am pretty interested in diong an MBA .
so ...i guess a nice tune to hum at this time OF LIFE would be shaan's "TANHA DIL " which has the lines "JAANE YE RAAHEN AB LE JAYENGI KAHAN..................?????

well these days the AD world seems 2 be getting ridicilous , with the SAMSUNG BIO TV and the RELIANCE AD featuring sehwag .

i guess the indian entreprenurs know a thing or two to exploit the mind of the naive AD watcher in India.

B A D - N E W S

we have college for the next 3 sundays to compensate 3 holidays given by the college sometime this semester. tommorow is the debut class , donno how many of us will turn up. hmmmmmmm............... i guess it will be the attendance hungry crowd ,plus the studious dumbos .

yesterday we had been to SRIRAM ENGG college in VEPPAMPATTU (along the bangalore railway line track). people here redefined what a symposium is and how it can be conducted as at 9 am there was no one at the registration desk, we were the only soul’s in the auditorium.they had a rotten , blaring audio set playing all the “GAANA” tamil songs , making me wonder whether this was a symposium or a tea shop, and this cacophony continued till 11 am .

then at 11 the prelims started (thankfully) in the dungeon like rooms . we had a nice easy prelims where we scored 18.5 points out of 25 , being the second in the prelims. I surprisingly didn’t qualify /win in the other events like mock interview, poster design ….

The quiz finals was very well conducted , as the questions were very innovative . we were leading the quiz throughout but one round and 1 question spoilt all that and the tables turned , with the IT DEPT TEAM (vel tech) of lokesh , lakshmi narayanan and saravana kumar gaining the edge over us in the final tally by coming 2nd with 55 to our’s
(3rd with 45 points) . as far as poster design was concerned , I after seeing the parallel posters being designed by other contestants, felt we would win by an astounding margin , but the judges thought otberwise …………

well over all a bad day as CSE dept of our coll was thumped 3-0 by IT dept (our coll) .
it feels as if Tendulkar( me!!!!) was given a bad decision against Pakistan(IT) when India(CSE) we were definitely toasting to victory , except in c-debugging .

the most comical part of the evening being that only 30 students ( all from sriram coll) remained in their auditorium , as none of the participants , sans 1 or 2 stayed for the valedictory function.

So I guess from now I shall hang up my boots when it comes to participation at known B-grade colleges as the atmosphere is just not stimulating and secondly exists the possibility of the results of events being fixed .

jus back after attending E-luminate this time , the only things of note i managed was to get a MRF BAT AUTOGRAPHED BY SACHIN and make it to the last 4 of the mock interview . more details later

BACK 2 BLOGGING
Well , I’ve decided to sanyas from any participation in events at college , so I guess this is the last time u will see me brooding and washing my dirty linen on cyberspace .every thing is magnified and is so bloody false , totally devoid of quality , whenever it comes to any event at college. The girls ( sorry!!! That’s what the certificates and ID cards recognize them as that class of species on earth) who participated in the partnership summit , literally are the object of this blog . each one , rather than focusing on the topic were focusing on putting a century of “vels” and “rangarajans” (sponsored my Microsoft powerpoint ) and were an absolute zero , when it came to the topic and understanding .


FRUSTRATION – this is the one word I can use to describe my curent state of affairs . yesterday the 1st of February , spelt disaster in many ways than 1 . we( myself,kishore,prasanna,aanand) were supposed to make a presentation on the PARTNERSHIP summit we recently attended in Hyderabad.
We started working on this from the 28th evening(jan) by going to vishwa’s place , staying there uptil 1 am and working with him on his”workstation” ( if I could call it). We literally worked 2 nights without proper sleep , in the meelee of driving down the old mahabalipuram road at 10 the previous night just to “ burn”(CD-WRITING) our presentation cd at nirenjan’s place , typing the report in the middle of the night and of course having improper eating times. I was home alone for the past 2 days , so I couldn’t serve the guys any hot food , and we had to literally do with whatever was available .

We had reviewed so much of material on google apart from the papers and the papers were strewn about the place . we were literally like maniacs working throughout the night so to make our presentation the best by a long margin , with even my computer showing it was mad as the cabinet was open for 2 days with the wires all bunched like noodles( to facilitate swapping of disks .

As the day started , we found out that our chairman , who was to arrive that didn’t come in the morning and the judge for this happened to be a lecturer called kartik( the guy doesn’t even know how to create an e-mail address) who was so thrilled by seeing a color screen (powerpoint in our language ) that he awarded high marks whenever he saw color slides and he never paid heed to what the speakers spoke and some of the speakers manually read what was there on the slides.

Our presentation consisted of an intro –more of an appetizer , done in 3DSMAX , which seemingly required large processing power , RAM hungry and wouldn’t condescend below 128 mb ram on a good p3 .The comp given in the audi was a rotten P3 with 64 mb of ram . our video presentation become a doubly slow slide show and that robbed 4 minutes of our speaking time . aanand gave a shaky but acceptable intro , but this was just the tip of the ice berg . kishore started of with his speech in a rather tense tone and just couldn’t live up to the pressure and it looked as if his brain had locked his mouth from opening and speaking . he was speechless for about 20 seconds and I guess those were signs of tension due to competition , but I guess with a litlle bit more exposure to speaking at quality events both aanand and kishore can acquit themselves much better than what happened yesterday ( TECHNICALLY speaking it takes some time before the “potential” energy is converted to “kinetic” energy .I’ve been in such positions before at school in my 6th and 7th standards where my legs would shake whenever I go on the mike before a crowd . the tension is apparently , what the audience will think of me ? am I going in the right direction ? these doubts tend to strike out whatever bits of confidence one has and yesterday’s mishap can probably be attributed to that fact that the chairman was not present to see our presentation and our INTRO didn’t work on the rotten P3.

Soon sensing the situation worsening I did a CTRL-ALT-DEL operation and asked kishore to come back to his seat midway thru his silence and I started the presentation on his behalf and also mine . just to” rub salt on the wounds already afflicted” the guy in charge of changing slides forgot to change the slides and out of the seven slides I had only 1 was shown .(WAY 2 GO!!!!). Prasanna came and spoke pretty well , even though one could see him stammering once or twice . I was waiting for our misery on stage to end .

The only consolation came later in the day when the chairman announced reimbursements to only 25 candidates out of the 120 who attended, keeping in view of whomsoever who spoke well on stage and made a good report and so rs 600 was credited in prassana’s and my account .

I’ve learnt a lot from this mishap .

1 I SHOULD NEVER COMPETE IN VEL-INTRA EVENTS AND SPOIL MY STANDARD AND MOOD ,but I would definitely attend all possible seminars conducted by the CII(Confederation of Indian Industries ) as it gives a lot of Ibndustry level interaction with many business honchos and u get a glimpse of the ethos that drive the companies .

Last 2 days were Pongal celebration time and all my mom's side cousins came home and with all my contemporary cousins and some siblings around, their voice and the atmosphere was enough to bring the roof down . this is the only part of festivals i dont like( the noise) bcoz all my cousins come home as my grandparents stay with us ansd so it's a big family reunion on festive occissons .

exactly a week ago i was in hyderabad in one of my mom's friwnds (parvati aunty) place along with kishore,prassna and anand . she is around 45 years old and lives with her 80 something old mother .she has no kids and it's just the two of them . so when we guys stayed there for 2 days , she was really made busy with all the tasty cooking and other arrangements. at the end of our stay while we were leaving she and her mother felt very happy that we had stayed there and they felt as if their house had sprang upto life , amidst all these years of quiet and lonely existence .

i really felt great that i had lifted some one's spirits and made them happy . the reason i am putting this post is that , i realize the importance of a family reunion ( despite the noise) to keep the mood up .

i guess it's 12 am so gotta go and read ........as per my new schedule and sleep within the first few lines of opening the page !!!!!!!!!!

today the 17th was spent in the cool confines of my home . i decided not to go to college as the bloody atmosphere there is really boring and i thought i could do a litlle bit of studies in time 4 the so-called-midsems . The past few days have been pretty good especially after the hyderabad visit.

1 i've started to pay attention to my quizzical instincts and my vocabulary
2 i've begun to enjoy nights reading some papers rather than cover myself with the bedspread.
3 distinct and positive mood change w.r.t technical knowledge esp after the visit to IIT campus,Hyderabd where i learnt what a college was and here i am in chennai , living in my own lost world gearing myself to do my Masters in a reputed and cool institute .
4 become more mature in what goes out of the mouth , esp when i get angry
5 learnt to count 1 to 10 ( make that 110) whenever i encounter some real hooligans and cracked fellows from students to guys in the exam/attendance cell .
6 enjoyin music almost 3 hrs a day , with preservation of batteries !!!!!
7 typin my blog

today is day 4 in hyderabad and the mood is still on a high all due to the attention i seem to be deriving here :courtesy asking questions to the panelists . nuthin big , but it is these small tokens of praise and appreciation which accelerates the adrenalin'o'meter to it's rightful levels . last night was really boring coz we went to a restaurant called "snowy ....." anticipating a quiet environment , but the hotel food was so bad , that we had to partially abandon the enemy(food) before it ate our stomachs , < rather than we eating it>

jus happy to see ind at last winning ............

hi folks . i am presently in HYDERABAD attending the patrnership summit . today and yesterday have been interesting . here's a brief post on the happenings .
try checking the url www.ciionline.org and u would come across some one called Shaffer , who happens 2 be the ambassodor to India . yesterday i asked her a question as to how could India cooperate with the US with regard to solving Pak's internal problems , with the thing being that Pk has killed so many indians and left an indelible scar . so it deserved to be nuked . she replied saying that what i told would deepen the crisis and would lead to the world being a little volataile . but she fully couldnt answer my question , so i felt elated as I had proved my point . A little later i went and spoke to her personally at the end of the day and she seemed to talk in a very polite manner with a nice smile and told me she repected the Indian revengeful feelings but she asked me to imagine myself as a indian relations minister and analyze the solution . even then i told her that why should india help pakistan gain lost ground when all the pakis regardles of any talks still keep blasting different parts of India .

she thought for some while , but a CII guy came to her rescue saying she had to go for dinner and alas there ended my brief sojourn ...................................WELL THE ONLY GOOD THING BEING WAS THAT I WAS SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE (ONLY A FEW) WHO CONGRATULATED ME . the other consolation came when i asked the question when the chairperson told her" this is the answer the youth of india is waiting to know " . so at least some one took my question serious !!!!!


but today was even more exciting in the sense that , this morning one MR Richard haas , again one of the ambassodors spoke on US'S great help to India in the relations wrt Terrorism . that guy was going on "gapsa " wuttifying , so what in did was ask another question : INDIA HAS SUFFERED MORE DEATHS DUE TO TERROSRISMS FOR THE PAST 20 YRS AND HAS BEEN SILENT ABOUT IT . IT HAS NOT RESORTED IN ANY NUKING OR RETALIATION TO THE PAK ATTACKS . BUT THE US WHEN IT WAS ATTACKED JUST ONCE (9/11 ATTACKS) IT WITHOUT ASKING ANYBODY , STARTED THE NUKING OF AFGHANISTAN , THUS ESCALATING THE TENSION.

BUT ON THE CONTRARY , THE US EXPECTS INDIA TO RESTRAIN ITSELF WHEN IT COMES TO RETALIATING AGAINST PAKISTAN . WHY THESE DOUBLE STANDARDS . ISNT THE US SETTING A BAD EXAMPLE FOR THE OTHER COUNTRIES , WHILE ADVOCATING PEACE ?


that question as soon as i finished , received a warm round of applause from the distinguished audience and the lunch session was all about handshakes with so many people (students as well as corporates) . so just got pepped up and a known figure!!!!

prassana today asked george fernandes a question on nuclear threats by pak to india on which geoprge's reply was a total anti=-pak answer saying musharaff was a mad and irresponsible man who makes stupid statements and probably is risking suicide as if he puts a bomb on india , india will still survive , but pak as a nation will be history !!!!

U NEVER KNOW THAT MIGHT MAKE HEADLINES TOMMOROW
