The 30th of July - 7.30 in the morn

Today is the 30th of July irrespective of what my blog says. And I'm back and I have my first class in less than an hour away. I still have enough time to blog and grab a bit before my class. Anyway my hols (that 1 week) were decently okay. Sadly, I didn't meet my friends due to the lack of time. I spoke to few. Wish I could stay longer but then I wanted to come back hours after I landed there. My body has adjusting-to-weather problems, everywhere. And just before I left for hols I thought I would drop in an article for the Vizag edition of EducationPlus, and The Hindu was nice enough to print it. Here's the article . But if you read my blog often enough to read this post you wouldn't find the article interesting. I can't find a title for this post so I'm jus gonna put the date :) Please wish me luck. I'll need loads of it this sem :(

A month and 3 weeks in IIT

Just before vacation began, all my classmates started looking for interns and projects. I tried a bit too. But I was too exhausted from the sem so I pushed to Banglore. Soon I was bored and my friends were having all the fun here so I landed here and searched for a project... Lemme blog on the lines of vatsap on my one month and 3 weeks. I landed here and got a project. And after a long discussion with Amit I put up my own pic on orkut . I had the excitement of a little kid when I celebrated my blog's 1st birthday . Then I moved into my new room and pained everyone about how much I love it. I joined the CFI team and did no work for a while. I was too bored with life. And then the CFI work began and I got to attend a meeting in the Diro's Board room. Then I celebrated the 50th post on my blog on a less lighter tone. I had watched this wonderful movie and learnt to watch movies alone. I finally named my room and then went about redefining my comp . My campus looked different to m

VCon with Williams

Amrutash: bday gift for you me: eh ? Amrutash: go meet suneeta williams me: the Suneeta WIlliams ?? Amrutash: ! me: what ?? Amrutash: yeah It was a DVC with Sunita Williams who was in Houston. And interacted with major cities in India arranged for in the American Embassy. I was excited when Amrutash first told me about it. But then, it turned out to be a bit silly for us. Considering we were surrounded by school kids. Considering the vcon kept cupping (connected with 256kbps) Considering ppl asked here some vague stuff like if the universe was really full of the sounds of "Om" Considering there was a quiz at the end of the vcon But it was nice Considering I got to see the American Embassy Considering I had 3 free packed juices Considering I checked out the funny loo in the Embassy Considering they did ask things I dint know of like how the spine elongates in zero gravity when your body weight doesnt rest on it. All in all, it was a nice evening, to and fro in CB's c

I am 20

YEAY ! CLAP CLAP CLAP ! It was yesterday, that I turned 20 and I am no longer a teen, not that it matters in anyway to me. I've already refused a million times to grow up. :) The EVE With Dolfy(one of my closest pals in sharav) leaving on the 17th, all my friends in my batch had left. So I was expecting a lonely 18th. I had some shifting to do and by 11.30 in the night I was so tired that I dozed away. Deep in sleep some bells were ringing, like metal hitting on metal. I woke up with a start. It was my cell phone buzzing with the vibrator n the tin can ringtone. DAD! He was the first to call and asked me what plans. I said I'll stay awake another half hour to answer phone calls and then sleep. Next phone call, Haripriya(from my school fictitious sorority sisterhood) and a call waiting from Amrutash(who sometimes mentors me and is responsible for the CFI label in my Gmail, 5th yr Mech-IM)and Mom. Then, Amrutash called up and asked me to come to CCD(the coffee day inside campus a

Bingo!

Well, BINGO stands for Business Incubation of Global Organisation. from the National University of Singapore . They have these international trips and they had come to IIT Madras on the 16th of July to interact with the C-Tides and ASES-India , e-cell of IIT-M. And so they came. In brief: We socialised and got to know each other's names over lunch. Then we moved on to a conference hall where we had an interactive talk by Asst Prof Ashwin Mahalingam. The NUS delegation went on to give presentation abt BINGO, NUS and Singapore in general, followed by Amit's presentation from our side. A little tea break and then we went around the campus for a tour. Social and friendly, they got me talking and we got along well. And before I knew it, it was time to leave. Too short a while to make life long friendship. But the visit was long enough to learn a little more about the world, experience a little more life. People I met: A variety and unity. There were different people from different

Out of the Inbox

Image
It's been months now since i cleaned up my desktop and rid it of all its icons. So I thought it's time to clean up my Inbox, rather I had nothing better to do. I would also have something to blog about :) I started. Even though I had many filters and labels, I had a thousand odd mails in my Inbox. And I began, creating labels, tagging mails, archiving them. A short process. And shorter than I thought. Within 2 hours I achieved this: Labels figures Labels earlier today : 10 Labels deleted today : 02 Labels created today : 09 Labels (all) : 17 So into the Labels and out of the Inbox Yeay! clap clap clap!

"I am 19"

Yeah, I'm still 19. I will be 20 in a few days. I found this file on my comp today named "I am 19". I opened it to read and realised it was a blog post that I apparently wanted to publish. I couldn't recollect if I did post it. I searched my blog to find out it went unread. I thought it should be read, especially since I was talking about growing up and I sounded like a kid. Come to think of it, prolly on the 2nd bde of my blog I might just think it's too silly and kill it !!! No I wont... I wont I wont I wont.. ( effect = tantrum ) So here's the blog post that never was: Details: Last modified on: Tuesday, August 15, 2006, 2:30:41 PM I am 19…. Hmmm… I jus made a statement today… that I am grown up… “I am 19… almost done with my teenage…” It made me wonder.. did I really grow up…?? I am still a kid… I dunno how to take care of myself… I dunno wat to eat n wat not… wen to sleep… wen to wake up… I dunno so much… n I call myself grown up…?? Nope… definitely not…

The Butterfly effect stays ON....

I woke this morning at a fairly reasonable time and ran a bath and off to breakfast. It had rained last night and the grass was damp. The sun was streaming in through the clouded sky little by little. I was alone and I hate being alone. So I hurried to eat and when I was on my way back I looked out at the garden from the entrance of mess and I remembered a few words. "IITM sure sounds so very photogenic the way you describe it" - Aditya (from the comments section of when I last described my campus.) And I thought to myself. I looked around and started walking along the path with the garden on my either side. Drangonflies kept whizzing some 3 feet over my head. Butterflies flew all around me. And all kinds of butterflies. Colours were splashed all around. The grass was a bright green washed by the night's rain. Drops of water reflecting the sunshine off. Yes! My campus is beautiful. Abundant with life and grace. But I have to run along, project to work, mails to be repli

The Butterfly Effect

When I came to my senses this morning, I was flat on my bed, face down. For a second I didn't know where I was or what I was doing. My comp was on and playing music. I remember some vague pictures of "Hustle". I got up, shook my head and checked the time. It was 6 30 in the morn. I had crashed last night at 8 30. With my lenses on I had just flopped on my bed. I had work piled up, that which I wanted to finish at 11 in the night and I had crashed right through, for 10 damn hours ! So I rushed had a bath and was out for breakfast. The second my foot fell next to the grass outside my hostel, the sprinklers came to life. A spray of water hit my foot and I turned to watch a beautiful image. A dozen sprinklers all over the grass on either side of my path. And the rainbows danced above the on the tips of the sprays with my step. A million dragon flies buzzed over my head. SPECTACULAR !!! I danced away in and out and back and forth through the day and at about 1 30 in the aftern

Goodbye Cruel World...

[Goodbye Cruel World] Goodbye, cruel world I'm leaving you today Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, all you people There's nothing you can say To make me change my mind Goodbye - a excerpt from Korn's version of "Another Brick In The Wall" It's over now, I'm cold, alone I'm just a person on my own Nothing means a thing to me Oh, nothing means a thing to me It's not a habit, it's cool I feel alive If you don't have it your on the other side I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie) - a excerpt from K's Choice "Not an Addict" All day staring at the ceiling Making friends with shadows on my wall All night hearing voices telling me That I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for something - a excerpt from Matchbox20 "Unwell" These songs and many more... They may have weird lyrics... But somehow connect... These songs and many more... Take you to a different level and leave you floating there... (pr

Water

Out of the few movies I usually see, I watched this really beautiful movie. Water Its fascinating. The story. The screenplay. The direction. The movie as a whole. Its gripping, right from the start. Realistic and every scene in the movie is so apt. There are a few mistakes in the IMDB site... But basically the movie is about a little girl Churyia (played by Sarala) who becomes a widow without even understanding she is married and is sent to an ashram for widows in Benaras. Deepta Mehta's direction coupled with Rehman's music makes the movie worth watching...
