Today was a boring day ............as all i did was sleep and sleep well.....still kinda yet to recover from my 186 km bike sojourn........all in the name of project.

something interesting that I found today was the interesting news that cognizant technology sloutions plan to recruit 4000 people.I need to know whether their requirements have freshers or professionals ..........anyways ......gotta hit the sack......and get up early ......to finish my proj documentation.........and do the binding stuff ....

am presently .........admiring the wit and honesst nature of khushwant singh and am proud that there is some one to emulate him from my college.

FAGGED OUT

The last 3 days have been quite eventful in the sense I had a lot of roaming work to do with regard to my project .Still there are some technical glitches that need to be sorted out at the place where I am doing it and also need to get the confirmation letter from the company that I have finished the project succesfully.........

It started on the 25th .......when i went at 11 am to get my dongle kit and the software written on a CD from my company .......and the guy asked us to come in the evening as he was busy........came in the evening ......and found a lot of errors .......and also had to do an errand job in dropping some idiot from the company who wanted to go 2 some industrial estate in valsaravakkam for performing some experiment on the CRO and had to wait for that arsehole and drop him back at the company .............simply bcoz I had a bike ..........

then the night just went on ........errors seemed un buggable ........and at 1 30 am my guide gives up , says ........."I am too tired, lets go out for some tea" and prasanna and I find ourselves .......in a tea shop at 1 40 am , sipping tea .......and finally at 2 3 0 am , the bug is removed and finally I make my way home .......only to get uplate .......at 7 ....and take my bike to college (37 kilometers ) .......to do my project demo to the external examiner ...........and as luck wud have it ....our bay 4 32 MB ram systems ruin my day.....by deciding to stage a BHOOK HARTAL ( ok , we know it as the computer HANGING ) .......and I am not able to show my demo ....

I get flabbergasted and have to come the next day .......to show it , so I decide to test on kishore's PC which is in his friends room in avadi.......meanwhile spend the evening with LG Ganesh ..............discussing future plans and getting tips from him to lead life with the 1/2 part of life which is better ......

the next morning , I take arun with his cpu ........to college and show the demo ........but an still to get the signature from the project officer.......so i drop arun at avadi and come back to college and finally wait till 4 15 pm ........till the guy signs my record........

and then I meet pras at avadi ....who missed the coll bus ........and so i take him home along with me ...........and drop him at his place ..............

wow ...........travelled 186 kms in the last 3 days............and it sure took its toll today ...as I slept like a log today ................and am still sleeping ................

YAHOOOOOOO...............

India just won 2 back to back matches at Lahore and that has certainly gladdened my heart .Moin and shoaib almost snatched the match from India's hands and I guess there would have been widespread demonstrations if india had lost.......any way didnt happen that way

looks like whole of india came 2 a standstill when the match was on today as per the reports generated by aaj tak and headlines today ......and some even watched cricket matches at cineplexes ........imagine watching cricket in a 70 mm with DTS effects for listening to sidhuisms ...

anyways .......am signing off the day with mixed notes.............as a bad news in the name of the CAT result just hopped by .........(just feeling guilty that after spending so much of money on the applications , I wasnt able to do justice ........so looking to do justice in 7 months time in nov 04 )

JEETO INDIA JEETO

--- It may be the slogan Union bank may have adopted , but from my side it's a literal plea ................to win the remaining 2 matches...I feel India has to pull up it's socks and it has to do a few mandatory changes............like replace laxman with badani , as Laxman doesnt seem to be in the best of form .....after his australia dream week , where he scored 3 hundreds .Ganguly must lead from the front by batting at no 3 ....and must aim at accelerating the scoring ....and use a lot more of common sense while setting his field.......especially for spinners ....

All this is being said after investing 8 hours of my precious time in watching the matching and what was my return on investment ? a sad dejected .....look at the end of it all............

Well life currently is boring with all the project work over ( :-) .........and with no one to talk to ..as I am alone in the house....spent a few long nights with prasanna discussing on how we should keep in contact with each other after graduation........and possibly have a grand get-together before we part off--- in quest for a job and higher studies........

We discussed a whole lot of places .....where Goa ideally seems the favourite to chill off , but other options were hill stations .....where one at least has a chance of a campfire in the biting cold ....or ....(it just goes on ) ..I guess we have to find a travels comapny .......and sit down and have a look at brochures and manuals to get to know of budget hotels ....in good locations..........

and ya..............I have decided to call it a day ......with regard to going for symposiums .......as yesterday's one at bharath was supposedly my last one ....quite a good one that coz i won the quiz and came second in paper presentation........so it feels great to sign off on a winning note (a.l.a JAVED MIANDAD -scoring a victory (century) in my first and last symposium ) ...

There seems to be a sudden spurt in the way i do things.I dont worry much these days and seem to be quite relaxed . I plan to go again to Bharath engineering college ...here in tambaram on the 18th to present my project as a paper , but have my cousins sisters wedding on the same day too...in pallavaram....so i guess I shall have to balance my time equaly between both these places....

As far as symbiosis is concerned the first waitlist has produced 31 names uptil w/l 31 ...it remains to be seen whether the 3rd waitlist goes until 122( highly unlikely ) ...

I have also started applying to a few IT companies ...who require freshers....but am yet to recieve call for a test /interview........

MONEY MONEY MONEY

well yesterday I was to go with my friend ganesh to BIST (bHARATH INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ) for attending a eee symposium , but since we didnt get confirmation that the event was on ...from pras , we decided not to go ....but somehow pras confirmed it thru his juniors and he went to BIST by their college bus .....i had some work and decided to go a little late .........reaching there at 11 am ..........dozed my way thru , hoping pras would win cash at the paper presentation event , but HO NA SAKA ...then we wrote the quiz prelims and after a sumptous lunch decided to wait for the quiz results and suprisingly we had qualified .......

THE quiz finals were all the more interesting as we gave(rather I) lots of answers and were placed 2nd a few points away from the team that won it .

As i walked down the podium , after the quiz was over ........I was waiting for the cash of 1000 bucks (as announced by their poster ).............but got the shock of my life when they said they have no prize for SECOND position, well and the guys who came first , actually got no cash,but a 250 bucks gift voucher at some local optical shop ...............................

I got terribly angry , at this , but there's nothing I can do to get the cash.....
Then a question occured to me , am I into quizzing for fame or money ..............and suprisingly after some reflection ...........i heard my hert say money.........money ..........and only money....

well initially I was sad , as to why i thought that way , but soon consoled my self saying , I've won enough quizzes,PP,adzaps.......etc etc to have 3 pages of my resume filled with symposium details .........this extra mention ......seriously is not going to add that much value..............and beyond one stage , I realize that it's just the lure of cash that makes me attend these events as I realize that I can leverage my talents into something practical .........and ....thats about it ............

so no guilty or hard feelings ...............

just got a mail from one of my friends KISHORE which seemed funny in the technical sense....

here goes ...............

I was just wondering how the last 4 years in college actually went by ......I seem to have enjoyed life more ..outside college than inside. As soon as i joined college ...ppl around me ...in class were guys from andhra ........and their behaviour coupled with the tamil population ..............left me bewildered as to how I was going to spend life with these fellows for the next 4 years...

met Sudhir and Arry who were my first friends in college ...accompanying me to symposiums ........somehow I was able to relate to life much better towards the end of first year , but still there was the feeling that I havent met a friend of my type ...............soon in the second year I hapened to meet Ganesh and prassana And luckily they happened to be 40% my type , which was a little comforting ..................

LIFE TAKES A U TURN

well I have been placed in the waitlisted position at SIIB.......and not been selected at SITM ..........didnt attend IMT and even though attended XIME ..........dont feel like going there....

A few days back when the calls came I was thinking about which inst to join in case i were to get selected ............but now I realize that I wud really be in a better position incase I were to work for some time and then attempt CAT and it's likes....

Well a company by the name KHODAYS came for placment today and and tomm we have WIPRO SPECTRAMIND coming .........but the only problem seems to be that it's a call centre job , under the guise of a technical job................

life at the moment aint really a bed of roses ............but a bed of dirty rotten vegetables ....( U can say I am vegetating here in my coll ) and the sooner I get myself out of this mess ..........the better it wud be ...................

STOMACH UPSET Whole of yesterday was spent lying in the bed bcoz i had my weekly dose of stomach problem .......and all of a sudden life seemed so sullen ...................i am waiting for the symbiosis final merit list to be displayed and any further career move .........can be decided only then .............

I have succefully preponed my PROJECT REVIEW to the 4th .....but still uncertainty hangs over the fact whether they would hold it for me on the 4th ..........as in our college anything can happen ...................

I finally sold all the newspapapers that accumulated in my house since last july (HINDU+ET+TOI ) ............and now the house looks clean and no more does my mind feel guilty that I ahvent read them inside out ....................

feeling really bored sitting at home (err...........doing project ....) .........
