finally there is some activity that my idle btain can now do. I have signed up for THINKSOFTGLOBAL's test this saturday on the 1st of may .....at 3 pm in santhome school.

I also have some minor shopping regarding my trekking ........to be done and if possible get myself a new walkman (hmmm........quite difficult though ) .

life is boring with a 17 day gap for an exam

IT's raining BITS at BCL

well in this bandwith starved era of dial up thru an OC bsnl ............this 2 and a half hour browsing experience here has been like having a 5 bucket bath in water starved chennai !!!!! . i've just got a little too bored browsing here .........might consider it quits for now and come back for the AC (knowledge also.....! ! ) tommorow .

Damn it ............the British counciol library doesn't seem to be allowing members to browse their email here at BCL. seems u can go only to educational sites. That's precisely the reason why i got a browsing seat as soon as i came here. looks like the crowd has died down after a CENSOR on email was declared here .

generally i get a seat in the brwosing centre at BCL only a good 1 or 2 hours after i've entered the library as the rush was great for the 5-6 odd systems they had. but now they have around 20 systems ......but the mad scramble for systems has died down and secondly now a person can sit on the web for an unlimited amount of time ,unlike the half hour slot that was given earlier.now the only advantage of that is as a true student one can have untramelled access to the net as and when we want it . well all i can say is i'l give BCL a thumbs up for their efforts to make people read more resources on the web rather than checking ......personal mail.

The library sports a totally trimmed and different look and looks really chic ......

i just signed up on GMAIL on google ........it seems to offer 1000 mb ,against yahoo's 5 and hotmail's 2 ............cool i need to delete any mail.

I came back from my grandparents Sadhabishekam ........(80 th birthday cum marriage celebration's ) held at tirukadiyur .we were lodged in a olden days mansion .......it was real fun staying in a house full of pillars and olden day facilities with an open outlet for the rainwater to come in . It resembles a bit of my friend Achut's house in triplicane ...........with darkness preserved and cobwebs hanging around.

It was 2 days of fun , with a small family gettogether at this place .My stomach ache showed up that place too and it was the worst stomach ache and vomitting attack I 've had over these 12 months . it lasted from 6 in the evening to 2 in the morning. Every time I vomitted , the stomach ache was getting more intense and my stomach decided to throw up until the last morcel in my stomach was removed ..............It became so worse that I had to literally drink water to makie sure even that small bit came out and made me more relieved.

The second day was fun as my cousins and I finished 5 rolls of camera film shooting our THATHA AND PATI ..............and we are awaiting the video CD to be out ....

ENGINEERING


One of my friends got this as an SMS which indeed is quite true in case u happen to idle three hours writing creative stories and reasearch papers ..........in the name of writing the 8th semester university exams ..........read on

The 3 Poem: 3 months of lectures, 3 weeks of cycle tests, 3 days of study, 3 hours of exams, and 3 minutes of correction. That's engineering!

Another one: An ocean full of syllabus, a river full of questions. A bucketful we have studied, only a mug level we can write. Marks come like drops. That's engineering for you!

i am feeling so bored and lackadaisical ..........no activity interests me these days and to add to it ..........elements from outer space invade my stomach 2wice a week to dig out whatever was there ...

there seems to be certain logistical problems on our tour.We've tried extending it to jammu also ,but the guys should agree and more importantly shouldnt feel jaded at walking 28kms in vaishno devi .............. I am more so worried about one guy who gets scared at the sight of doing any small work that involves opening his mouth and doing anyactivity that involves exertion.....his mind wavers like a sine wave especially when it comes to taking decesions .................well All i can say is that managing people is an art that only few can do and i am being groomed and trained well by my fellow mate .....................(hey incase u r reading ,dont mind da , it's just a little frustrating that's why I am airing my vent on the web, no harm mate )

BANGALORE NOT SO BECKONING

apparaently the pay at knowledgeworkz was only around 5 k , so decided not to go and have now cancelled my ticket . Cancellation especially in this hot weather waiting in the queue's is a arduous task.

BANGALORE BECKONING

I just booked my tickets to bangalore to attend an interview,more of an informal chat with a company called KNOWLEDGEWORKZ which is basically on the lookout for information analysts ,who scan info relevant ...blah ...blah .....essentially on the lookout for god quizzers. This afternoon kishore and I are slated to meet anand at Spencers to do some shopping regarding our tour and also finalise our return journey.Anand , the shy guy he is , will be making his debut into entering spencer plaza ............(can u belive it ? a 21 year old guy staying in chennai for the past 21 years hasnt been to this place .........? )


I also have plans of visiting the beach and collecting our tour confirmation letters late in the evening from YHAI,chennai and to start preparing for the various company aptitude tests .

any body wanting to get in touch with me reg this company can sms me at 32695453 .I leave for angalore tommorow morning by brindavan.

NIRVANA

Thats how i feel these days ,after coming back home and lying down on the floor.there seems to be some sort of energy current from the floor that soothens me and makes me want to sleep there for hrs (more like a rejuvenation centre !!!)

Yesterdays CG exam was personally my worst exam as i didnt know the answer to a single long answer question and all i did was blab 32 pages of absolute crap.anyways gotta put that debacle behind me ........and prepare for Network security ,my next paper where i have some firm grounding with regard to the concept ....

well as soon as the exam on 17th ends I am planning to to do a allout revision of all my last 4 yrs BE books mainly meant for preparation for these entrance exams to software companies.lots of IT recruitments seem to be cropping up , but the main problem is the oppurtunities re either in bangalore or delhi, so cant actually go and attend the interview.with the final sem exams still on.

and yes...........we still havent got the confirmation from shimla reg the double deluxe suite we booked for on may the 8th .................god help us........:-)

well our tour is finally underway .we've booked the tickets and are leaving chennai on the 6th of may via GT . we've booked our tickets upto shimla ..........and we've also booked rooms to stay in shimla , but still havent got the confirmation from the hotel manager ,even though we've transfered the room rent to his UTI bank accnt at simla

Yesterday was boring ..........with me sleeping in intervals throghout the day and was made even more boring with the movie "BOYS" yesterday . The movie's best scenes and raunchy dialogoues had been cut in the "public interest " . It was more like "find the missing scene " as each scene had no relevance to the other ...........

anyways ........I Have gotta step up the accelerator in finishing my portions for COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND MULTIMEDIA ,my next exam on the 15th.

S P E E D -- PART 4

well I dont know why has it to happen always in the last minute for me .yesterday I , along with my other friends had to submit our north india tour application at teh youth hostel premises and the way it went was really a nerve wracking experience .


8 AM- in college to get signatures for the no -due form....

9 AM - am frustated seeing the huge line .......where i am asked to stand again in the queue as I havent got another sign from some non descript corner of the college

10 AM- the torcher is over, i finally get my hall ticket

12 45 reach home after an ardous journey battling the risng mercury in chennai.

3 PM -try to study but am lured by the phenomenen of slumber .........

5 pm make a headaway to my cousin's place , as my Chitti knows a doc ...to get the fitness certificates for all six of us ......

6 PM -expecting kishore ..........to come with the rest of the forms .....but he turns up at 745 pm

7 pm- waiting the doc's place .........

7 40- doc says she can issue medical certificate only for me as she has seen me , but not for the others.......as they are not present there...

7 55: we are still in guindy and yet to make our getaway to nesapakkam(youth hostel office in chennai which is open only from 7pm to 9 pm )

7 56 :decide to give up ..........as 5 of us , except me ....do not have sign in the medical fitness columbn..........

7 57 :decide ti give it a shot , or at least meet the YH guy .......and ask for extension.


8 12: go to 2-3 clinics--but no doc there.

8 15: go to pallava hospital ........wait for 5 mins for a duty doc.......who spends 10 mins ........saying that giving false medical certificates could land him and his hospital in problem...

8 30 - kishore gets his medical cert from pallava -paying 30 bucks.

8 35 we start our bikes .......looking out for ........small clinics with ........docs who are "relativvely vetti " .........

8 45 : kishore spots a small clinic adjacent to the road having a PCO booth.

8 50: the doctor there, a young 25-26 kinda age ........finally issues us 4 medical certs @ 20 rs per cert .

8 55 : we finally submit our application in the nick of time .............

9 pm: our tour date is finalised on may 7....(leaving chennai )

9 05 : am one heck of a happy man ............as we prevail against the odds

organizing something ......has always been a part of my life.My classmates at college had a big laugh in 3rd semester when i used to go for symposiums and at my attitude which suggested attending less of class and going out more for symposiums .I perdsonally felt that classes at college was horrible ...........and instead of losing my mood over these classes one could go out officially for a symposium and learn more...

when in 4th sem our symposium came up , I was the one who worked very hard at it , with some support from some like minded friends..........where still people laughed and mocked at me from doing things that werent directly connected with studies.........

I stil see the same attitude within guys of my college , when i asked them for their participation in the tour.............but i am happy that ii havent changed myself despite a few morale losses ...........during these years........

Their happiness at mockling me has made me even more strong ......to continue my efforts at heading and organizing things.suddenly I feel very resposnsible.............
