Hurrah!!!!!

I’ve been too lazy to post (also too excited). Well lemme tell u ‘bout the good news first.

I’ve shifted to IT from Production and life is so much better now that I can never explain.

I’ve finally rid myself of math (though I’ve discrete math this sem, its much better than conventional math). On the flip side, I’ve got to use my brains a helluva lot more than in prod.

The bad news is that, I’ve got to submit a project on something by the end of the 1st mids and that shuccs. Now I hope to have better classmates (not that all of them in prod were bad). I now have funny but interesting (by the sound of it) subjects like micro electronic ckts., Signals and systems, fundas of IT etc. hope they don’t turn out to be a waste of time like drawing or Mechanics.

There’s a Kcircle quiz this Sat and Karry’s going with me. We have no idea how we’re gonna do ‘cos the last time we scored a meager 7 on 25. The quiz is seriously tough and hopefully we’ll do better this time. I feel like doing nothing right now though I’ve got to finish that dumb project.

BTW Shilpa’s my classmate again for another 3 yrs atleast.The girl seems to be my only hope of salvaging something from the first 3 weeks of classes. Anyway, I tht. of a project when she asked me for one. Maybe I’ll do the same one.

So now that the summer hols are almost over, everyone’s going back to their places. Shashank’s already left. Hemanth’s leaving 2moro and Rahul the day after. So life’s gonna shrink back to that same old shell again.

My brain does not want to work on anything right now. It seems that its gonna switch off any second now. So maybe I gotta take a break and recharge the dumb thing.

Life and Israel ......................................

Tht I wld write ‘bout a lot of things but can’t remember any of them right now. Life sucks as usual. Today being a Sunday, tht of hanging out someplace but cldn’t seem to find any place worth it. Bari suggested McD but turned it down, then tht of alleyg8or and KFC but turned down both and we were stuck plucking guavas and gobbling them. The tour de France is gonna end and am happy to see that Landis is at last winning one

Just found a comm on Orkut regarding Harvard (thanks to Aparna ). Met yashraj there and found quite a lot of my seniors and juniors there( can’t believe nobody told me ). I’m wasting my time doing nothing. I have to finish 5 drawing sheets and haven’t yet bought a TB. Luckily no Math HW and I’m lazing around. Can’t seem to find anyone online (very surprising).

I’ve just remembered that Israel sucks big time. Bombing Beirut and Lebanon (whatever the reasons) is SICK. ppl losing lives is BAD and nobody gives a damn. Not the US, the UK or even the UN. UN passes a resolution which is nothing more than a hogwash.

I think this is how ppl like Laden are born or groomed. Autocrats like Bush and Blair seriously need a smack on their bottoms for unleashing AlQaeda , LeT et al on us.

Just realized that I hope that the allegations showered on Bush bu Mr.Moore in Fahrenheit 9/11 are absolutely true and Bush is kicked into Oblivion.

Enuf of world politics (I suck at them but anyway ). Theres a Kcircle quiz on the 5th of Aug and Karrys hopefuuly gonna turn up with me. I’m actually fed up of college and think its not worthy of me gracing the classes. Letsee tomorrow’s another day and hopefully, better than last Monday.

College and life in general.......

On a completely different note,

My college has started and I bunked 5 days (that’s 6% of attendance. Horrifying isn’t it. I’ve decided to bunk at least 20 days so that I can just scrape thru the attendance. Last year’s 98% didn’t help anyone so time to bunk) already. The first few classes I’ve been to have reinforced my belief that engg. is not for morons like me. I can’t believe I’ve another sem of boring Mechanics and Math’s. I just seem to hate math. The subject is for gr8 brains and not mud brains like mine. I seriously thnk I’ve committed the gravest mistake of my life by agreeing to study engg. I now know that Archaeology is my subject and what I wouldn’t’ do to swap courses. This is BORING, college especially. No proper connection at college and I’m regretting this dumb decision.

My luck sucks big time these days (not that it ever shone upon me). Yesterday noon session was off and I decided to come back home and that started off all my troubles. First the 7-seater(7-seater !!!no way they must be called 15 seaters) guy didn’t budge till he filled the vehicle to the brim with ppl. He was finally satisfied when there were 11 of them in the auto excluding the driver and his assistant. Then we started crawling and finally near Vasavi, the guy realizes that his tyre is deflated( no wonder with 15 ppl in the auto, it was obvious). He tried replacing it, and the other one too is out of precious air. So he robbed me of 6 bucks and left us to the fate of finding buses or autos. I didn’t find either for 20 mins and luckily, I got a normal auto and hired him till my place. The meter actually stopped running on the way (the fare actually far exceeded the max 99 bucks) and the guy was a pretty dumb guy. He took 105 bucks and went away.

Cool day and now my bus seems to have given up on the driver. Everyday, it stops for at least 20 min( I think its actually programmed to reach college at 10:15) and the driver wracks his brains out trying to figure out the prob (it actually varies with each day, today it was a failed gear box) and actually manages to push the bush till college without actually rectifying the prob. Gr8 guy.

I have Homework everyday. Dumb actually and that too its math. I hate math( i think Mrs. Santhanam had a very big role to play in compounding my fears ‘bout the subject , though ppl like certain VVHGR and CHS may disagree , its actually true) Santhanam was a “beep” and KV was a dumb mistake before this engg. one. (I am making too many mistakes. dumb ones and can’t help it). Gotta go .

Na math can wait. It can actually wait forever. I’ll pbbly never do my math HW. Hmmmm maybe I’ll do it if things turn out to be real bad. Anyway lets see that’s in the future and not now. So lets procrastinate.

What else is there to talk about, yeah I know Schumi wins 8th time at Nevers, Magny Cours. The guy is staging a comeback and I hope he doesn’t fizz out like some of the others maybe the Ferrari dominance is here to stay. Fine now I’m bored of this post, lets get out and get some air. Maybe next time I can write about something better

Minesweeper


Well I guess being a minesweeper aficionado, a post on the beautiful game was inevitable.

But what makes me write this post is my achievement of a 1 second time in beginner. I know it isn’t a big deal for some of those Gods of the game but for ppl like me that gives me the bragging rights and the fact that I can get actually beat the 2 second barrier (even Bari wasn’t able to break it) gives me renewed confidence that I can also beat the 70 second barrier in Expert. Also I think my long term goal with regard to this ever addicting game is to break that 15 second barrier in Intermediate, though I know its not possible at this juncture.

Another thing I was wondering about is the effect of music when I play the game. Almost always when I play the game, Abba is playing in the background. Maybe even the music had its role to play.

Zinedine Zidane- the master of Trickery
'Zizou' the best ?The best footballer of the modern era
The world cup has reached the SF stage and for the first time for i don't know how many years, no south american team in the last 4. Surprised, be very. Again Zizou proves to be Brazil's nemesis with an awe inspiring performance against the current world champions, well they won't be in a weeks time. So my bets are now all on Germany, i think Klinsmann has moulded a terrific side whose progress to the SF included terrible bad luck for Argentina. Even England lost out on the shoot out. the Penalty shootout sucks (though i love it).
The refereeing has been going from worse to worst as the world cup enters its last phase. My personal fav, the Dutch lost out b'cos of that dumb Russian Ivanov or whatever he is. I hope the KGB or the GRU actually torture him in those camps in Siberia. Let him rot in hell. The dutch were easily the better side against Portugal and didn' deserve to lose.
Now that Zizou has eliminated Brazil, i hope Portugal eliminates France and lose to Germany in the final. That wld be the icing on the cake. nah, maybe i wanna see more of zizou, so let them go to the final and lose there, thats much better. I hate Luiz Felipe Scolari though. He sucks big time. The grumpy a$$hole.

life goes on

My results are out and I scored around 85-90%. Lousy marks especially when compared to some of the others like Shilpa or some of the others. I’m pretty pissed at the evaluators ‘cos I scored just 54 on 75 in CP. That’s a shock considering the fact that I did that paper the best. Shilpa scored 94% and maybe is the college topper or even the varsity too. Well all the best to her and her sister. Maybe they will break all records. NERDS nah Boogerbrains

Any semblance of insanity in me seems to be lost ‘cos of that dreadful day. Karry scored 80%. The guy scores and actually doesn’t open books at all. Another NERD. Wish I was like him. I got this bband connexion and life seems to have taken off.

I now download everything off the net and i mean literally everything, including Windows. I wanna stop this but my speeds of ‘bout 60 KB/sec don’t help either. These days I’m maybe burning the midnight oil a bit too literally. I sleep not before 5:00 in the morning. I’ve always been a late sleeper but my mom’s absence seems to have worsened this condition, not that sleeping late is bad.

Bari actually screwed EM and hopes to clear it soon. Me too. Been in touch with Aparna a lot these days. Almost everyday in fact. She only hardens my beliefs that girls are impossible. She needs something, well she actually goes to any extent to get it even undergoing drastic mood swings. Girls can be a real annoyance and l’ll pbbly never understand them.

As Calvin says, girls are the most mysterious beings, and I do agree with him (never remember the last time I disagreed with Calvin). The guys just 6 yrs old and his philosophy of life is just awesome man. Well I feel really lazy typing this and will try to fill up the other details the next time.
