Another Black Wednesday and meeting with alumini

Meeting wwith 65 pass-outs i.e. first batch batch to graduate from IITK. What they talked reallylet me belive that engineering is not all crap. Here's a pic..

Wednesday. Celebrated as black wednesday among Mrch 2nd year att IITK. Courtesy: Engineering drawing Lab. Had quite a deal completing the autocad assignment on steam stop valve. Then the last lab excercise. Thankfully other friends(fellow sufferers from same department) completed the last lab work. In return I gave them the completed autocad assignment. C2D!! Taking print outs at 4:00 a.m.
Missed the two morning lecture. Almost falling in the lab.Sleeping in the 2:00p.m. lecture. Sleeping in the room 3:00 to 4:00. MOS Quiz till 5. And the day ends. Almost cracked the quiz question. But the old habbit of silly mistake and all gone. Anyways. Coming back another task at hand. Wrote up an article on Rural Entrepreneurship for a competition. Submitted just before deadline 23:59!!! Living on the edge.
Lots of sleep hours back logs remain. So gotta sleep. Oh! but FluMech quiz on friday. As the day of going home nears, losing concentration in studies. Something I experienced right from the first sem. HOME BECKONS!!! Im coming.....

Quiz time

This week Im gonna hit by quizzes. 2 quizzes already announced. Wed Mos , and friday FluMech. Hope that's all. Missed Materials tut completed the backlogs of sleep in morning 9:30 to 1:30. That's something I can't compromise. Charger missed in techkriti croud. Now borrowed Lava's charger. Thank God it's working!

Looking for Holi holidays. Loads fun beckoning at home. But first there are two quizzes two be combated just as the holidays finish on 11th there is bigger monster- MidSem 2. So apart from that some part of the mid-sem exams syllabus is to be finished. As this will be inversely related to no. of days I can spend at home.

Whole day wasted on repairing some programs on lapP. Lets go mugging now. Happy mugging!!!

Ishan and Co.

Found a movie for which I have been looking for long on DC++. Women on Top. Penelope Cruz at her best. She made me awake till 6:oo in morning. Early morning shower made cool atmosphere.
It was Ishan again who woke me at time when my alarms were about to ring. (Something about alarm: Normally I use to put two morning alarms, but both fail in purpose. I can still remember the days in first year when Bhatia used to come from his room and say to me. Sale teri. Ye sada sa alarm band kar. Mai baaju wale room me so nahi paa raha! That torturing alarm tune of my cellphone is still blade to his ears,anytime- conditioned reflexes.) But this time straight in my room with her friend. Thanks buddy for waking me up. Ishan with his 4 friends- Akriti, Kshitiz, Mitali and Supriya were in my room completing their poster for biz event. Meantime I did with daily-bath (rare for a hosteler-but some habbits never leave you), morning prayer which was occasionally done in morning, no breakfast as usual. Still unsure with the future of Chaos event. Bhatia, I feel too bad for you. COM200 destroyed your Techkriti. Not at all fair. This is not something expected for an extraordinarily brilliant geek like him. But as the saying goes Don't expect life to be fair. Stayed with Ishan and Co. for abt 3 hrs. at my room. Lots of painting and sketching going on in my room. As I write this post I fancy about bringing all the oil colours and canvas and painting a canvas in my room. Not possible.








At the end got ready till 1:00p.m., bid good bye and good luck to current 368/2 inhabitants and ran to CC after a call from Bhatia telling me that he will manage to appear for Chaos. We were waiting for the contest to start. Having some fun with camera right in CC. Kush had his laptop which proved entertaining (playing Contra on it).




Contest starts 2:15. But this time we were totally lost in taking input and output of the given language. Problems seemed easy enough to be solved. The whole program was written and compiled. But it screwed our nuts to execute it! No success. Finally two hours pass and we stand there with no submission out of 5. Horrible!Came to SAC in while it was raining light. by that time Ishan had left institute! F***! Wasn't able to meet him. He got in top three in advt-event. Congrats to you and your team-mates!

-----<<>>>>>------

Huhhoooo. This sound comes as Saucy jumps back into his routine life. The boring life and the boring blog posts. Work at hand:- Autocad assignment, drawing lab exersise(10% left), 2 complete chapters in FluidMech, MOS quiz on Wednesday, Fluid quiz on Thursday.


--->

Today Aman clicked me smiling. Can't remember when I was last caught smiling on camera. Is it true that my smile is fading? Khushi leaving me as earlier observed by some of my very close friends including Aman Bhatia. Anyways, here is the pic. Actually Aman had the camera. It was supposed to be a photograph of Saucy and Kush( you can see latters hand on formers shoulder), but the pranker focussed on me and here is the result. Thanks Aman. The green thing is Kchha Mango Bite. My energy bite. It drives me nuts!


--->Called Ishan while he was in train, wished him and team@UCER good bye and good luck. All those ppl were good to meet. Kshitiz and Supriya were friendly enough. Akriti was quite busy in and good at painting/sketching. Mitali cool and calm. Less talkative to new faces like me. I always hold special view about the people who are less talkative. May be I appeared less friendly to these people but that was not I wanted to be. That's my inability (First blog post).


I think, at times, I must have been with Ishan but I haven't. Couldn't go with him to meet Onkar sir and on other occasion couldn't give him lapP. And I always wanted to be friendly with all those people. Memember one of Avichal's blog tittle- What we've got here,is a failure to communicate. I know this is too much. But I can't help. Thats Saucy for you! With this very habbit of complicating things in his head!


All in all a nice 3 days. Thoda setback tha. Kuchh khas nahi kar paaya. Missed important lectures by personalities. Limited participation (some credit goes to My dept.). But however worse it may be, at least I can say that these were few of the most happening days of my life. Importantly, it helped me get that smiling pic (which I also posted on orkut).

Had 1 hr chat with Vinay. Now Materials assignment to be finished this time- 00:44a.m. and then wake up for absofuckinglutely boring+harrassing FluidMech lecture. Also coming up is a jam-packed week with 2+ quizzes and 3 assighnments.





P.S.- Hope nobody minds my taking and then publishing the first photograph here without there knowledge. Actually I didn't intend to do so. But that's the way things are!

Techkriti's First Post

All the time busy i thechkrit. Opened the laptop very few times. Some good news this time. Cleared the prilims for Chaos and On-spot Programming events. Yesterday was Chaos finals. They called us on 2:00 p.m. to CC. Then made us wait till 4:15. There was an important lecture on Optimisation in Geometry. Missed it The scheduled duration was 2:30. The documentation of the given language ws 369 pages. Eh! Bajar thi baap. Searched all round for input. It doesn't allowed to define varriables. This we figured out near to the end. Finally when we were about to complete a problem, they announced the event to be cancelled saying the proiblem given was too difficult since there were very few submissions. F*** u ppl! We did it. Bhatia was the only one to figure out the input read statment. Many guys were not able to reached that. Then I remembered that there was something like ! when it was doing subtaration operation. We submitted the solution just after they said event is being rescheduled. But it was within the time of contest! Ohhh! The contest is rescheduled on Sunday 1:00-4:00p.m. Bhatia has his Com-Skills classes. So he will be unavailable. What will I do? Oh god! wasted 5 hrs there, missed some important TechTalks due to it, the we stand virtually winners but practically not even participants! Anyways. thats the way things are. Let it be.

Then had dinner inhall-2 canteen with Ishan and co. including Kshitij, Akriti,Mitali and Supriya. The ran to CC for On-Spot prelims. Me Ishan and Kala- The Three-Headed Monkey The 30 min. quiz include 15 maths and 15 Java questions. We did all in Java section and 13 in Maths.
---Came to room slept lil early(12:00) and the day two ends here----

In the morning it was about 8:30. Woke up from Ishan's call. Our team name was in finals list. There was some drama as the college written in front of our of team name was BITS Goa. Got ready and reached CC and got to know we are through! The final round was little embarassing. did 2/5 questions. Although a third would have been managable. Chance was little. But we didn't gave a try. Missed the lunch. The reached SAC for SDR workshop. Oh GOD. It was all about soldering components on a PCB. Is it all we paid Rs.150. Absolute idiotism till 6:00. Returned to hall-2. Some time-wasting on YouTube. After the dinner reached L-7 for Ankit Fadia's lecture. 550 seating capacity and it was jam-packed. See how popular is this 21 yr old guy among farzi-engineers. Hopeless, No Entry, returned to room. Oh God! I missed some serious excitment! That's the way things are. Wrote a reply mail to Lesia Aunty. Slept some time around 11:00. Wole up again. Got the news: Ishan stood 2nd in IOHC-International online hacking competition. He proved it again what he is. Born Genius! Congrats man! Great doing. Go ahead.

That was all for day 3. Coming up is day4. Hope for the best for re contest of chaos.

IOPC hopeless

IOPC. The contest starts at 14:00 IST. sting still with problems. Stuck hard on problem 6. Finally coded the problem with no syntax error/silly mistakes(something Im very much pronned to). But Alas! The judge says: EXECUTION ERROR. Hey bhagwan. what else u want...
With Kala coding the easiest one P1, I toally left the problem for him. But at in the end it doesn,t even matter, how hard u try. No submissions.

Dukhi-Dukhi: Observing from last 3-4 days. Firstly it was Sumit pointing out "yaar Saucy why are u in so dukhi -dukhi mood".(Dukhi=sad). May be I pissed off on him on something, that's why he was saying so. But it was vatsheel, Shadab, Alok saying wha happened to you? At last it was none other than Bhatia sayaing it to me when I seriously thought Im very much upset these days. What might be the reason. Is it that Im not fulfilling my reason. But is the reason studying? Its days I seriously opened book. Also couldn't talk to mamma past days as she was visiting Buaji in Banglore for 10 days. Am really upset. These clsose friend's testimonies and somewhere me in me say YES!


On Blogger. Found an Americans lady's blogs. She seems to hav done loads of studies and findings on what I would have loved to know. But the last thing to my likeness, I came to IIT Kanpur studying Mehanical Engineerig department. Had a series of comments on her blogs. And she also wrote 1 or 2 on mine. She replied in my post addressing Namaste. Hehehehe. American wishing Namaste. Not so common. And that even to me. Not at all common!

Today

Woke up at 11:00. Brushed the teeth. Collected enough courage and determination to go for a hair cut at Hall-1. Suffering From previous two experiences I too a vow to never have a hair cut at IITK. kI used to hav it when I got to home. But I was not able to hold the long hairs any more. So ultimately did it. Also shaved the 20 days beard. Ab achhe bachho ki tarah.

Mom left from banglore yesterday. Havent got to talk to her from past 48 hrs. She will be reaching on 17th. Lets talk then.

IOPC tomorrow 1:00 p.m. Taking part with Kal. Not great hopes. But still I will try. Even at least 1 submission will give me a lot of joy, sincee I left coding long ago.

Lingered around a new community I love my mom to the couples thread.

Studied a bit of MOS.
Gota see the eye specialist for vision test at 11:00 a.m. in an unknown area of kanpur city. So need to wake up early and hunt the place called Azadnagar. Feeling a bit of strain in eyes. Shayad I need a correction![:(].

Teaming up with Ishan for on the spot programming contest.

Got blog on Karma written by an american lady. Writes appealing. Somany ppl around me write so incredibly good. I too want but kya karu... Gota Improve me

Heart Breaking

Whenever u feel that life isn't fair to you look at this:

This is the most heartbreaking picture I've ever seen and I'm putting it low on the page to give you a chance to back out now.

About me

Some changes in the about me section on orkut. Here is the old one:
I’m someone who staunchly believe in karma theory…that you reap what you sow…. ..in this birth or in the next….and the cycle of birth and death goes on unless you attain the spiritual path and succeed in your journey towards the final Nirvana.

Hates pretentiousness, arrogance, hypocrisy, liars, racists.(Specially the first one).

Usually not being talked about in the third person..
Uncomfortable being in spot light.

A great Procrastinator, cunctator, lazy, sleepy, lethargic, unpersevering, languid, dilatory, dilatory, lackadaisical.(these r not my vocabulry but synonym search for lazy)

Enjoys living in "dead state"

I have my own perspectives to look at things. Even small things which nobody thinks about appeals to me so much.

Loves to ponder about very abstract things.

Known among friends for having no guts, the one who never dares.

Emotionally connected to every small thing around.

Indecisive over matters.

Im not always the first to initiate the conversationas, I wonder if the person would be comfortable speaking to me. I always wait for others to invite me for speaking. Im always very eager to know what other people think of me.

Perplexed, Confused within myself, clouded, doubtful, dubious, dubitable, Indecisive, inconclusive, indeterminate, problematical, uncertain, unclear, unsure.

"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?"

"Hazaron khawahishen aisi ki har khawahish pe dam nikle,
Bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle"

Perplexed ,Confused, indecisive ove matters. Yet determinned over what I decide. My principles mean to me more.
And at last these great lines from Galib's pen and Saucy's lips:
"Hazaron khawahishen aisi ki har khawahish pe dam nikle,Bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle"

Lazier than ever...

My hair needs a cuting. My beard needs a shaving. After working 48 hrs. on Autocad my knees almost got cramps. Feeling lazier than ever.

Techkriti is around the corner. I was supposed to have been busy but can't get over this laziness. I wonder how I will go to city tomorrow for eye check-up.

Take me as I am

She's been down and out,
she's been wrote about,
she's been talked about,
constantly.
She's been up and down,
she's been pushed around,
but they held her down,
NYC.
She has no regrets,
she accepts the past,
all these things they helped
to make she.
She's been lost and found,
and she's still around,
there's a reason for
everything.

You know I've been holdin on.
Try to make me weak,
but I still stay strong.
Put my life all up in these songs,
just so you can feel me,
so you can get the real me.

So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all,
just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.

Now she's older now,
yes, she's wiser now
can't disguise her now,
she don't need
no one tellin her
what to do and say,
no one tellin her
who to be.
She's on solid ground,
she's been lost and found,
now she answers to
G-O-D,
and she's confident
this is not the end.
Ask me how I know,
cause she is me.

You know I've been holdin on.
Try to make me weak,
but I still stay strong.
Put my life all up in these songs,
just so you can feel me,
so you can get the real me.

So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all,
just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.

So it's all or nothing at all,
all or nothing at all,
don't you know I can only be me,
I can only be me, yeah,
I can only be me.
So it's all or nothing at all,
all or nothing at all,
don't you know I can only be me,
I can only be me, yeah,
this is me.

This is me,
this is me,
this is me,
this is me,
this is me,
no one else, no,
you can't take that from me, oh.

So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all,
just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.

The Ultimate autocad assignment

The ultimate auto cad assignment.it took out last drop of blood. Continuously doing autocad from 2 days. Missed the dinner this night. Pains printing the final drawing in the DRPG office. Valentines day par 3 autocad assignment. 5:30 now but still awake

Autocad

Whole day spent in completing the autocad assignment. Radial Engine....

Idioting whole day

Whole day idioting on the lapP.....
The giant autocad assignment still on the head. Coming closer and closer to cut it down! Completed the materials lab report. J2me seems impossible. Also couldn't register for Codewars. Missed to check webmail. Created the MS office outlook act. on the lapP.
As usual took the lunch at hall7 this Sunday also.

Now two days before wednesday. The lad assignment is also up at shopC. Two of them to be completed in two days! Horrible. Lets hope for the best..

Dell Inspiron 6400

Looks Sexy! From now onwards I will be owning this laptop. Its 15.4" wide screen is ultimate. Installed some basic software and currently doing up with Autocad2006...

With these equipments I will be regularly posting blogs about life of a common young technical guy with uncommon capabilities to complicate things sin his head!

Blogger Is Idiot

It is not showing word wrap. Absolutely frustrating! Feel like kicking the comp...

I will have t wake up early next morning to recieve bro. He is coming with my lapP. It will be a great time being with him after a ong time. But a very short stay. An hr or two.

Mamma and didi went to Banglore for didi's NIMHANS test (Ph.D. entrance).
Cleared AREA7 in SperContra. only last one left. Thereafter no gaming. Hopefully Im following my words
MOS lectures are becoming more and more boring as ever. All the time in the clas is spent in making sketches of guys sitting in front of me. Life's becoming dull. There was a lil excitement durng examtime. Then back to routine. ....

Missed the dinner today. Having stomach-ache. The giant assignment of Engineering Graphics still a eating my head....

Also lab report is due submission tomorrow.
Also beard needs a shaving. Possibly bhaiya arrives here
In short watt lag gayi.

Done with Exams

Pending Taskks after exams:
1)Update the blogs
2)Buy a new cube
3)Complete autocad home assignment-Radial Engine
4)See the APIs of J2ME and decide whether I can do the job in 1 week with such a great task mentioned just bove at hand! Quite a challenging task!

New Dell LapTop is with my bro at Dellhi. Hopefully I will be owning it by next week

EXAM RIEVIEW REPORT
1)MOS:-Attempted20/30. Hopefully around 50p.c. can be sccored. Pathetic performance but no repent. I learnt a lot from this exam.
2)FluidMech:- Attemted correctly 16/20. The only question I left was damn easy but
the idiot presemted it in such a manner to ensure least people understand the
question.
3)Philosophy:-Single question to answer in 1 hour. Wrote about 3 pages of material
on Pramana theory.
4) Materials:- The paper was too lengthy. I don't know what this popye wants from
students. He has this very habbit of giving lengthy papers. left  11/45 marks! Ain't
sure of th rest.

TODAY I LEARNT:
1) Be careful in PHI140. It might prove villian in your dreams of perfect 10.
2) To avoid repent after examination, here is the tip. Prepare as much as you can,
might be half prepared. But ensure a 100% effort so that there is nothing like" Oh
had I studied this rather than studying that chapter. Insted it should sound: "What
can I do if couldn't do this question? This was the best I could have delivered. I
couldn't have preapred any better. May be this effort is saved to show its effect in
future.
And after all how puch these trivial things matter in long run of life. Try to
remember a mid-exam of your 9th class that you had messed up. Or it might your 12th
board maths exam. And then you came back and wept and punched the walls and kicked
the doors in sgeer frustration. But think, today, how much they count in making of
Saucy(or whatever your name is). How much it contributed in your academic life. In
long run these things matter least in life. What matters is what you learn over such
times!

Life's Little Instruction Book

Life's Little Instruction Book: --- Some pretty cool ones
===============================================

Have a firm handshake.

Look people in the eye.

Sing in the shower.

If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.

Keep secrets.

Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.

Always accept an outstretched hand.

Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell the
difference.

Whistle.

Avoid sarcastic remarks.

Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90
percent of all your happiness or misery.

Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find out.

Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all that they have.

When playing games with children, let them win.

Give people a second chance, but not a third.

Be romantic.

Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.

Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters,

Don't allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It's there for
your convenience, not the caller's.

Be a good loser.

Be a good winner.

Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.

When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.

Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.

Keep it simple.

Beware of the person who has nothing to lose.

Don't burn bridges. You'll be surprised how many times you have to cross
the same river.

Live your life so that your epitaph could read --- "No Regrets"

Be bold and courageous. When you look back on life, you'll regret the
things you didn't do more than the one's you did.

Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.

Remember no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be quick to
acknowledge those who helped you.

Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for you.

Visit friends and relatives when they are in hospital, you need to only
stay a few minutes.

Once in a while, take the scenic route.

Answer the phone with enthusiasm and energy in your voice.

Keep a note pad and pencil on your bed-side table. Million-dollar ideas
sometimes strike at 3 a.m.

Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless of how
trivial their job.

Send your loved ones flowers. Think of a reason later.

Become someone's hero.

Marry only for love.

Count your blessings.

Compliment the meal when you're a guest in someone's home.

Wave at the children on a school bus.

Remember that 80 per cent of the success in any job is based on your
ability to deal with people.

Don't expect life to be fair
