Best birthday gift ever!!

Nirvana !

I have been driving for more than an year now. Tonight on my way back home, i realised how much driving meant to me.
Its my channel to vent out my frustrations, THE way to destress, relax and have fun.
It completely cuts me off from the world and i'm deriving this heavenly pleasure, whenever i floor the pedal.

I went down to eat street in the evening and discussed stuff about T-summit. Then i came back home and did nothing worthwhile. then this terrible headache overwhelmed me. Sleep would prolly have done me some good, but i decided to drive especially since no ones at home. I went down to NH-7 and drove till Medchal. It was so refreshing and kaput went my headache. Then on the way back, it was about 10, i discovered Rock. Never before did i think Rock was so diverse. All that i thought of rock was the head banging stuff(i knw i've been ignorant), but the RJ opened up my perception of the genre. The RJ had a very sexy voice i must admit. She also introduced me to Nirvana. I never listened to them before, but now Rape me is so good. I cant seem to get it off my mind.

I love the fact that i decided to drive rather than sleep. It opened Rock to me. Mebbe i'll now try listening to Iron Maiden on a rainy day. I may start liking that too.

and thus i attained Nirvana :p

Cruelty isnt confined to humans alone.
I realise that there are members of the animal community who sure do believe killing is a pleasure.

One fine morning i found three really cute kittens who could have hardly been a week old on my porch. They were beautiful. I so wanted to kiss them and stroke them. They remind u that alls not bad with this mad planet. The next thing i do is try to pick em up but they were prolly terrified by my appearance and they went into hiding. I went back inside and poured them my daily share of milk (mom has no idea :)). They did drink but only after they realised that i was far away. One of them was kind enough to let me handle her :) How she purred in my hands !
i had to rush to coll that morning, so decided to do something for them in the evening.

In the evening, the first thing i did after college was to rush up and check on them.
What i saw disgusted me. It was gross, gruesome, grotesque, horrible. Words fail me. One of the cuties was lying with one leg torn and an another a good 10 feet away from it. Its neck was severed. Cannibalistic sight.
Horror struck i tried finding the other two kittens and luckily they had found refuge beneath an old shelf rotting on my terrace. They were unscathed and alive. I tried reaching out to them but they wldn't venture out of the saftey of the cupboard.
I went back and tried cleaning up the mess myself. My mom would have freaked out and to compound it, shes allergic to cats. I was so unsuccessful. My mom caught me cleaning the remains of the kitten and she totally freaked out as expected. She made the servant maid clean up.
I tried persuading her to take the other two kittens into the house but she was having none of it. She did give me milk to give the poor guys and some fish too.
In the night just as i was about to hit the sack, i heard the kittens crying out. Horrified i rushed and found that there was this Big bad cat who was trying to reach the kittens and thats when i realised that he was the murderer. Bloody feline b1atch.

I managed to scare it away and fearing for the safety of the kittens, tried bringing them inside but they wldnt come out to me. So i did the next best thing. Gave them more milk and blocked them from coming out and ensured that the feline murderer cldnt reach them as well.

Next morning they were gone. No kittens, no Big Cat. i have no clue how they cld escape,but i sure do hope they are alive and well. I cant digest the fact that they might be dead too.
Please dont let them be !!

never thought i was capable of crying so much.

Animals are beautiful.
Please dont mistreat them. Please help animals in distress.

Canine love

Dogs are wonderful creatures. For that matter all animals are.
The innocence and their playful nature are something worth emulating. I had this dog for almost an year now. He was called Rocky. Every moment i looked at him, all i felt was the happiness that exists in this world. He was a fine buddy. Spent hours playing with him and stroking him. He was absolutely amazing.

Mom found him on the road abandoned. He was crying and was hardly a month old. I think its been an year exactly since my mom found him. He was brought home and at that moment i think i found one of my best buddies. He was amazing. He was the first guy who obeyed my commands. He was family and more. There were days when he used to cuddle up to me and all that occupied my mind at those times was the companionship and the fact that i had someone to lean onto. He was privy to my deepest secrets. If ever i had a heavy heart, all i had to do was take him out on a walk and share my grievances with him. I doubt if he understood me, but my heart was lighter. I still remember the stares from people who would certainly certify me retarded for speaking to a dog.
But nothing did matter. He was the best friend i never had.

He lived with me for 9 months and that time was probably the best i've ever had. Home was never dull with him around. He did wet my sheets often but that was a small price to pay for the company he bestowed upon me.

Finally mom gave him away after months of threatening to do so.
It feels very lonely without him. I realise why people crave for companionship. Its exactly a year since u were found.
I hope ur doing great.
Tears roll down my face as i recollect these memories.
Love ya buddy. Please come back

Of morons and more

its been almost 2 weeks since i've returned from Chennai.
and the last week was H.E.C.T.I.C

Deadlines galore.
cant believe i was such an ignoramus. there were umpteen assignments and then lab records to complete. Not to forget the lab exams and my mid sessionals that i had to contend with, and not to mention the fear of attendance.

i was sure i wldnt be detained but the fact that i may have to shell out 500 bucks, for no reason worthwhile, pinched me. i dint wanna go beg lecturers, so i did the best thing possible. Showed my Shaastra certificate to ppl and there, no one minded marking me present for one week. kewl. there one woe hopefully sorted out.

assignments were a different ball game altogether. I had a few lecturers threatening me with a zero and some promising to screw my lab marks. That caused a mad rush to find stuff to copy from and finally i manged to complete 2 out of the 5 assigned. wow. i have no clue whats gonna happen in the rest.
then i had my lab exam, thankfully of which one was postponed :)
the other was mediocre.

Then i had the Mini Project to submit, which was a total farce in more ways than one.
My mini project incharge is a dumb witted, ignorant, cockeyed, drunk piece of trash. She was completely oblivious to the fact that i spent the better part of 3 days trying to develop an OS. She thought my project was a complete rip off the college Linux install >:P
bollocks i say !
How completely moronic can one be ?? i think i'll forever be searching for that answer.
she made a complete mockery of my effort ! sob !
what a b1atch
Screw the ignoramus queen.

then i had this request to make a video for T-summit. It seems trivial right now but later, i'm sure gonna regret agreeing :p
and then the mid sessionals to battle with.
and my exam theory has gained further ground.

The lesser u study for an exam, the better u fare

lol.

What an overwhelming week.
This break is a welcome respite before i'm gonna have to start fighting with the end sems.

my attendance was 82% at the end :) lol

ReDboX is here !

its official now

my internet connection sucks and how.
uploading those pics took urs truly 2 hours and then the power went bonkers in between implying that i need to start again. thus i've decided to chuck my plans of uploading those pics. newayz i managed to savage 2 pics and posted those :)
i wish i had better upload speeds. i still long for those days when i had a 4mbps upload speed and a 128kbps download :p
those were the days when none cared about upload and talk of ADSL was light years away.

another reason that kept me away from posting the pics sooner, actually THE reason, was i started to work on my project.
Finally after spending 57 hours and about 38 minutes, i can now boast about creating my own linux distribution. yipee !!!
though the thing is minimal and provides basic command line editing only, its a start nonetheless and a platform for me to build my own distro.
Now the only problem , i have left is to get that thing to college. I'm now trying real hard to create a live CD but my ubuntu install is history :((

p.s. i christened my distro ReDboX ;)

Shaastra 07 at IIT-M is this week, and i'll have to leave soon. I've got to win something this time, its been too long since i've won anything major :(
Heres wishing me the best of luck :)

hopefully i can bear Chennai this time, last time was ..........

btw i used LFS to create the linux install :p
