Saucy the poet!

When I was returning to home in the morning in the train this time
Somehow I took a pen and found a piece of paper and started writing.

Then what I wrote was was strange even to me. A sonet! Hai! Ye kaise ho gaya. Once Mrs. Gandhi told us the definition of poetry as spontaneous flow of emotions of heart through the pen. It can't completly disagree with the statement
The lines were thoda bakwas but I got rythming ones. Here it is:

Now I can see the change
Earlier which was out of my range.
I can see the birds flying free
Conversation of the wind and the leaves high on the tree.
I can hear what every cattle passing by me had to say to me for so long,
Buzzing of bees and birds singing song.
The cloud is not there only to seal,
It seams it has some special appeal.
When I look at cirrus, I try to find
The perplexion, the confusion similar to one in my mind.
I look back at the doom from which I have evolved,
But there is too much left to be resolved.
Now I feel how each moment is blessed apon us,
Now I understand why somebody said God is within us.

Also produced a testimonial for Asif. Goes like this:

Asif bhai. The one with "most-wanted assets" in our wing. Famous for large amount of comic database in his G drive. Can blow up anyone with those pranks! Easy to compete, difficult to beat and impossible to cheat. Good at befriending people, specially gals. (remember Priya Sharma).
Someone with infinite enthusiasm to be on top. You can call him a Future-Planner. Usually emotionally strong but feels broken at times, needs someone to collect the bits and rebuild a 3-quarters-kgs Asif.
May you achive your goal in life.
Good Luck!
Saurabh Chawdhary

Abhi bhi something seems missing! Thats not the exact Asif for you. I'll wait for the ideas. Because ideas come spontaneously!

Cubing

Cubing all day from yesterday. Learnt to solve the cube. Now I'll practice on being faster..
Saw another interesting sport. Speeed Stacking!
Wached a movie after a long time. Vanilla Sky staring Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise.

Quarter-life Crisis

The quarter-life crisis is a term, coined in 2001 by philanthropist Alan Harper, and Abby Wilner and Alexandra Robbins, authors of Quarterlife Crisis: The Unique Challenges of Life in Your Twenties, and is applied to the period of life immediately following the major changes of adolescence, usually ranging from the ages of 21 - 29.
It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones.

Characteristics of this crisis are:

• feeling "not good enough" because one can't find a job that is at his/her academic/intellectual level
• frustration with relationships, the working world, and finding a suitable job or career
• confusion of identity
• insecurity regarding the near future
• insecurity regarding present accomplishments
• re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships
• disappointment with one's job
• nostalgia for university or college life
• tendency to hold stronger opinions
• boredom with social interactions
• financially-rooted stress
• loneliness
• desire to have children

These emotions and insecurities are not uncommon at this age, nor at any age in adult life. In the context of the quarter-life crisis, however, they occur shortly after a young person – usually an educated professional, in this context – enters the "real world". After entering adult life and coming to terms with its responsibilities, some individuals find themselves in a world of career stagnation and extreme insecurity.

As the emotional ups-and-downs of adolesence and college life subside, many in the quarter-life crisis experience a "graying" of emotion. While emotional interactions may be intense in a high school or college environment – where everyone is roughly the same age and hormones are highly active – these interactions become subtler and more private in adult life. Nobody wants to admit to feeling like a 'loser' (especially not twentysomething men). This secrecy intensifies the problem. In his book, Barr reveals many of the anxieties twentysomethings have. Chief among these is the fear that everyone else is having an amazing time in their twenties.

Furthermore, a contributing factor to this crisis may be the difficulty in adapting to a workplace environment. In college, professors' expectations are clearly given and students receive frequent feedback on their performance in their courses. By contrast, in a workplace environment, a person may be, for some time, completely unaware of a boss's displeasure with his performance, or of his colleagues' dislike for his personality. Office politics require interpersonal skills that are largely unnecessary for success in an educational setting. Emerging adults eventually learn these social skills, but this process – sometimes compared to learning another language – is often highly stressful.

Erik H. Erikson, who proposed eight crises that humans face during development, also proposed the existence of a life crisis occurring at this age. In his developmental theory, he proposed that human life is divided into eight stages, each with its own conflict that humans must resolve. The conflict he associated with young adulthood is the Intimacy vs. Isolation crisis. According to him, after establishing a personal identity in adolescence, young adults seek to form intense, usually romantic relationships with other people.

Identity vs. Role-confusion, giving credence to the theory that late-20th century life, with its bizarre mix of extreme comfort and insecurity, is causing people to mature at a slower rate.

END of the SEMESTER!!

So finally!!! One more semester at IITK done away with. End-sems exams over. Five exams in five days. Nearly got cramps in my knee joints just studying and more studying.
talking of Exams, not a great one but average. And Im satisfied. No feeling absolutely LAZY. Can't even right much now.
Thinking of getting a laptop in next sem.
MARKS. Got 66.5/80 in Thermo. Expecting an A grade or B grade. 89/120 in TA. Expecting A. And Electrical once again frustrating. 55.5/80. I don't care the grade now! A s much absofuckinglutely filthy course. Beaten by the hard hammers of this course whole long semester, lately I had developed immunity to it. So after that more sufferings. And now no more blows..

This semester had been largely different from the other two. I had more reasons for what I did this time. And more than ever.

Plans for holidaz and industry job

With exams starting from Monday today was just a magai day. Mugged up Organic Chem. And so much to say about the Organic chem. instructor. Don't know why these people have born grudges against us(students)! He puts his best possible efforts to make sure that we are in worst possible situations.
And the Electrical course! uhh... One course which made my life miserable. Nothing to learn! Only to suffer. And such an idiotic instructor! God save me! I have decided to leave that course as it is. I'll give only one try on sat. Do hell with the grade. I will not suffer anymore. Course wise Chem is a good one but the bloddy instructor. As a part of expressing out our frustration , we are, apart form using loving words for him, these days, thinking of noble ways to take revenge on him. Some of which are making blank calls at his home in night (dat 1 is difficult coz he has caller ID), submitting his work email ID in the porn sites so that he gets loads of spams in his mail box.

The holiday plan. Befor going for trip on 6th and after my last exam on 1st, I'll have almost 5 days. Made some plans to utilize those days. I'll try to study Data Structures with CSE guys having exams on 4rt. Read old and new editions of the Better Photography magzine. Read all the editorials of Hindu that I've missed. Try to look for good books on Indian Philosophy in the lib. Apart from all this lots of chatting orkutting and blogging.

Industry. Industry had never fascinated me. In the morning discussed this with Asif and Shadab both of whom want industry job. I very clearly put ma point . I will never love a job in industry. All this hectic shedule is going to kill me. There you have no life left for yourself. You are dedicated to your boss. Moreover, you need to do lot of fake things, things which have no meanings and no substance. Just to show your boss that you are the one. Show off is not a part of Saucy. I never said the it is a mean/wrong jog and nobody should do such things. It's just the matter of loving. If any of you love to do then you wil do that. I will not choose that!

Found an excellent qoute on somebody's blog: Nobody is Virgin. Life fucks everyone!. Started reading some other people's blog One a girl named Lakshmi. She also writes about her life in an interesting way.

It is bout 2:30 now. Most probably Im going to miss tomorrow's morning thermo tutorial also.

Bhatia's Testimonial under construction...

Writing testi for him is a difficult task . coz he is some1 I know inside-out. Compressing testi to 1024 chars is difficult. I can write a post on him. But accumulated ideas to get the one below:

When I first saw him I was dazed! What is this football like thing! Latter I came to know ki Bhatia ji jitna zamin ke uper hai utna hi niche bhi. Don't go on size! (Now he has improved his aspect ratio [])
Being with this guy past 3 years I've known him inside out. A guy with unbelievable capacity to learn, unbelievable capacity to work, and with unbelievable wicked ideas to tease anyone. His whole body is composed of gray matter. He is kind of guy who can defeat his coach in just anything.
I can never forget him once saying this funny line "Mai to co-ed ke naam pe dhabba hu".
We share lots of lots common and less of contradicting thinking about all aspect and all issues of life. Of late we discovered we both are in similar quarter-life-crisis.

Rest of the day was good in terms of exam preparations. Studied decent amount of stuffs. Some Physical Chem. and wave equations in maths. That's all!

no title

Yesterday downloaded the form for the internship. I shows some fields that Im not able to answer. Still not sure whether to appl or not. They are asking fellowshp for work in fluid dynamics. It would have been better if I had done a course in Fluid Mech. But I will be havng it in next sem. If the date for the application is after that then I can get the form filled at least when Im doing a course in Flu mech. So I can get at least something to fill in.

On the road. While I was on my way to lecture hall on my cycle, just before the gate, in a hurry mood, with the fresh laziness of the morning, ready to be assaulted by proffessors, was just about to crash in some object. Object identified! Another man with gray hairs and matching once- white kurta- payjama, on his cycle. It was my fault for this apparent crash. So normally I would expect a person whom I have never been aquainted to give a killing stare oo a moderately loud murmer or some abuses. But this man was not upto the expectations. The reaction was just opposite. Smile! He gave me a broader than broad smile and passed on! I would have neglected the event owing to the length of time it occured and all the wild thoughts of exams running through my head. But mind you people this not something you encounter everyday. He would have got one tenth of a second to make his neuron cells click. Even the first response of the humblest of person would have have been a stare. But why does this man reacted so differently? What must be the reason? Let us explore.
Was he God that he controlled his response to stimulus so well? Every person is a hybridisation of God and Evil. But being God would mean 100% God character which voilates all phisical, chemical, spiritual,.. laws. It is quite possible that just before this accident he had encountered something that granted his long - wished wish. And sunshined by that happiness he was able to give such a response. Or he might have seen his lost loved one in me that he couldn't help but smile.
Whatever the reason may be, it was an unforgetable and a rare event for me. It is for that reason that I have so much to describe for that one second

Shadab again. Still trying to prove that he is even greater shit. He boasts that he is able to flirt a proff's daughter. Chats with her all day Makes fool of her. Tells all kind of lies. Makes her fight with her friends. And these foolish girl leave their genuine friends for such bastered. And the bastered taking it as a credit to him that he is able to do such rubbish thing.

Orkut Fortune: When winter comes heaven will rain success on you
Let us see what type of rain is it. Success! Is that what we strive for? Because it gives happiness? Or it is happiness that we strive for? Second argument seems more appealing

Internship?

Last night Shadab told me about an internship in some institute at banglore. Have to think at it first. will it be better than a summer project or not. Talked with a senior and he says it will be good. But he doesn't knows about how good the institute is. This is the chat log with him:

Winter Trip

We are deciding a trip as soon as the Exams finish up. More than 10 people in our wing are ready. it will be a great experience. More of this latter.

Mom and Dad to visit me.

Tomorrow is saturday. Mom and Dad are coming to see me on a 1 day visit. Also the ME lab presentation tomorrow so gota complete its Report by night.

The day was average with 40% performance in Thermo quiz and 70% percent in maths quiz. But Im satisfied. Jo bhi pyar se mila ham usi ke ho liye.

Here is the ME Project Report:

Acknowledgement

A project can’t be considered as finished until we say thanks to everyone who has contributed to our project. We would like to thank our instructor Dr. N. Venkata Reddy for giving us the opportunity of a project. We also express our gratitude to our tutor Mr. K.K.Kar who helped us at every stage of the project with his valuable suggestions and support.I would also like to thank Mr.Nafe Singh for his help.

Last but not the least, we are very much thankful to all the staff and guides who not only helped us in the project but also trained us in various skills and supported us in various types of experiments. Without them, it would be impossible to complete the project.

Objective

To make a mechanical multiplier to multiply two numbers showing the working of a new type of gear box.

Motivation

Before the advent of electronic computers, the complicated calculations were carried out through means of mechanical computers, the main components of which were- the adder and the multiplier. The component that we built serves as a prototype for “The multiplier”. The same principle is extended to countless mechanical devices which serve as force multiplier or displacement multiplier. The motivation to build the machine came from understanding this vital feature of worldwide used machines.

Working Principle

The working principle of the project is based on the working of a typical ‘Gear Box’. Gearbox is defined as a metal casing in which a train of gears is sealed. Gearbox is also called gear head, gear reducers or speed reducers. Their job is to convert the input provided by a prime mover into an output of lower RPM and correspondingly, higher torque. Therefore they use the ratio of gear teeth to vary the output rpm.

Device Description

This device uses the principle working of a gear box and does multiplication. In this device a 60 teeth gear acts as the driving gear where we decide the 1^st input value which is displayed on a wheel attached on the same shaft. The other shaft has three gears attached on it, they have teeth number 30,20 and 15. These gears decide the number of times we want to multiply the 1^st input value. As the input wheel is turned the number of divisions equal to the value of 1^st input the driving gear drives the driven gear the number of degrees depending on the gear ratio. The display of output is done through using a partial gear attached on the same shaft on which the gear system is attached, this partial gear helps in displaying the tens place. What it does is it rotates the wheel on the other shaft through one division when the 1^st shaft is rotated by 10 divisions thus on every one complete rotation the wheel on the tens rotates by one division, this is how the output is displayed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPONENTS

Sr. No.	Name of Component	Dimensions of Component	Material of Component	Manufacturing Process Used	Number of Pieces
1	Spur Gear	Dia. = 93mm	Mild Steel	Turning and Milling	1
2	Spur Gear	Dia. = 48mm	Mild Steel	Turning and Milling	2
3	Partial Spur Gear(3 Teeth)	Dia. = 48mm	Mild Steel	Turning and Milling	1
4	Spur Gear	Dia. = 33mm	Mild Steel	Turning and Milling	1
5	Spur Gear	Dia. = 25.5mm	Mild Steel	Turning and Milling	1
6	Wheel	Dia. = 48mm	Mild Steel	Turning	2
7	Wheel	Dia. = 90mm	Mild Steel	Turning	1
8	Shaft Rods	Dia.= 16mm	Mild Steel	Cutting	3
9	Sheet	408x190x8mm	Mild Steel	Cutting	1
10	Sheet	150x120x3mm	Mild Steel	Cutting	2
11	Spring	Length = 150mm	Spring Wire	----	1
12	Angle	40x40x6mm	Mild Steel	Drilling	3
13	Flat	80x50x6mm	Mild Steel	Drilling and Cutting	3
14	Pipe	Dia.= 20mm	Cast Iron	----	1
15	Nut and Bolt	¼”	Iron	----	18
16	Rod	Dia.= 8mm	Mild Steel	Bending	3

Difficulties Faced

1. The gear ratio used to convert 10 units in the ones place to tens place was difficult to achieve as the gears turned more than the desired angle.
2. We needed gear ratio varying from 0.5 to 5 which was not possible because no. of teeth in a gear which can be made in lab is limited.
3. As the spring wire available in the lab was very stiff, the spring constant of the spring we made was very high, so we had to use long spring.

“K is proportional to 1/L”

Possible Modifications

1. The device can be scaled down to much smaller size.
2. The no. of digits of input can be increased, keeping the no of gears constant.
3. The no. of digits of multiplication can be further increased by increasing the no of gears.
4. By using a more sophisticated method, the way of changing the gears can be aptly modified.

IITB Tech fest

Recieved a mail regarding IITB Tech- fest. This time I thought I will certainly go for.
But for programming?
Kush told me that he had alrwady teamed up Aman andd with Ashish Bhatia and Piyush. Ohh! Again a setback Do I take this as omens from God to tell me that Inow is the time to decide priorities and leave this programming thing but that's something I love to do. They left me out [:(]. But its going to be that way. Even I accept that apparently the team of four is better without me. It would have been difficult to make a place for me in spite of the fact that I had taken part in many competitions with Aman and Kush. Now I have two options.
1) Leave the thing and concentrate on my IAS preparations.
2) Do the above thing and keep this as my hobby and try to prove those friends that in reallity the team without me was only apparently better.

Lets see what life has in for me.....

Quizzes: Chem quiz today was an easy one. Cracked it! Thermo and maths quiz on friday. Preparations for them are on. Still having feeble headaches. Feeling sleepy all the time. Sleeping around 9 hrs per day. Overall not in best of my health these days. Took the first Disprin of my life and now going to take the second!

Quizzes

Lots of quizzes ahead. Tomorrow batti quiz. Chem on wed, maths on friday. Loads to syudy. AS usual miserable condition in electrical. That's all.

Old friends

Got in touch with some very old friends from St. Patrick's High School, Jaunpur through orkut. Vinay Srivastav, Nishant Gandhi, Manvendra Singh. Orkut is amazing man. Haven;t thought of meeting any of them like this. craving to know about them. I still remember the day at University Road, Allahabad when I almost wept for this guy Vinay. He used to be my bestest....est friend. And still he is! But things change with time. He is still a bestest for me. But I wonder the measure of feelings he has for me. Ok. Im going to accept any measure he gives.

TA 201 lab sucks!
The casting pattern which we made over days. It ate hours of our time and hard work. Destroyed in the lab. The lab people poured less metal in the mold and the whole pattern gone in 60 seconds.
We sat last night for 5 and half hrs. and half ade a new pattern. Hope this is the final one.
Rest of the day classes and lab. Nothing interesting.
Today is Mathr's B'Day. Really missing his treat.

Blunder!

Missed the Philosophy course! PSY151- introduction to psychology is the course alloted to me. I can't afford to lose it in any case! Gota go for it. Im going to give a full try to get it changed. Heard that if instructor agrees he can give the course to me. Hope that Mr. S.Rao understands me. Not a happening day. Boring classes allday. Missed the TA and Thermo lectures.
Mid sem marks: 10.5/25 . quite low. But I'll try make up for it.

Exams!

It's over now. The last four day largely affected by three incidents.
1) Taking pics all around
2) Myself not able to take part in fashion photography competition
3) Camera wrecked

Slowly coming to usual life of IITK. Lecture, quizzes, labs, lab-reports, exams, courses, proffs, grades, CPI......

One more suicide from IITK. This time a M.Tech. guy from Hall-4. I don't know what's happening here.

End-sems from 27th. Nothing much to write. Less happenings in life now. Exams coming so less postings. And that ends all I have for now.

A Spoiled Day 4!

Day 4 starts late. Last night the camera malfunctioning gave a headache to me. Now no coverage of any event. Will not be going to Audi or SAC anymore. Wake up at 10. Lazily lying in the bed for one hr. Chat with Mamma for about half an hour. Mamma was least concerned about the camera but the fact that I would be worrying about the camera was something which troubled her most.
After lunch in the mess, came to CC. Only blogging whole day. Less of Antaragni. Decided to go to Kavi Sammelan and may be Euphoria at night. Lab reports due tomorrow. Gota complete them also.
****! Just now as I am writing his post Ankur came with basanti and her friend akanksha. All three of them sitting behind me on comps. Gota complete the Karma Theory post.
The HSS course Request for next sem is open now. the only philosophy course offered is PHI143 - Introduction to Ethical Theory. Option list goes like this.
1) Introduction to Ethical Theory
2) Microeconomics - 1
3) PSY 151- Introduction to Psychology
4) Sociology
5) English Literature
6) ART- Western Art

If Im lucky enough I'll get my first choice. Can't afford to loose this course. Rest of the day to come. Will be writing soon.

Returning from CC, slept from 5:30 . Got up at 8:00. Had a maggi in canteen. No dinnerr me. It was none of Antaragni left for me. Missed the Kavi-sammelan and Euphoria too.
The HSS course next sem is going to be exciting for me.

Day 3

Day 3 starts of a little late because of tierdness of Synchronicity and the setback in Infocus event last night. Woke up late, got ready by 12:00. Now completely focused on humor-de-antaragni. Collecting photos for it from ever where. Reached ShopC for nukkad event. Then in audi for a dance event. In SAC for pics of tatoo making. It was 4:00 by now, one hour before submitting the pics for Infocus.

Now to L7. An ediotic mime play was going on. From the other side entrance of L7 I could here a soft voice and music of guitar. A girl practicing for the western musicals. From the half opened door I could see her face, a little tensed, with hair-locks over it and the upper long portion of her brown colour guiter. Sitting on the space just outside the door from where the staircase start. Leaning over her guitar. Her other belonging were a black colour Tata Indicom cellphone, which she used as watch, and a scribbled sheet of paper. In the background was a tree with fallen leave and behind that I can see the library building in contrast to her beautiful face. All this was making such excellent shot that I couldn't resist myself from taking her snaps. Huh. But I sort of spoiled the photograph. I think the shutter speed was low giving a much bright and blurred image. The background being highly illuminated by Sun appeared bright and the main content of photo was in shade. Had I composed the focus in the background, then it would have given a dark portion in the main content. The only option was a smaller depth which means higher F number. Means I had to get close to her. Thus disturbing her and spoiling the mood of the photo.

Latter when I showed the pic to her and her comment was: "Bahut kharaab lag rahi hu mai." My God! Ab kitni achhi lagogi? I don't know why all the girls tend to react like this on seeing their photograph. The girl was from some DU college. Wish I could send her the link to this post.
Also shot the fallen tree.
To hostel after taking snaps of India Inspired event. Sorting the photograph to get the best 10 from it. While doing this I realised that I had not mae a great collection, not even decent.
To SAC for submitting the pics. Haven't done a good job this time. After dinner went for the Bandish performance. That was hopeless. The guy shouted cheers to IIT after every song. After that was the ritambhara- the fashion show. I was too exausted to attend any function now. Earlier Kala has asked for my cam to take pics in the internal round. Refusing him was a difficult task for me. Its not him sying anything but I don't know why When Im refusing something when someone, and that too so close to me, asked for it I feel like guilty. I feel like refusing help. Now if I repeat the guilt that would be enough to disturb me so much so to keep me from sleeping that night. Stayed back at hostel. The camera was taken over by Aditya and God knows what this man has done to it, it got horrible stuck. My digi-cam went mad. Now no photography on last day of Antaragni. Nothing to do. I guess the tittle of neat post would be "A spoiled day 4".

Other Incidents:
1) Returning from Audi, heard a group consisting mostly girls singing BC Sutta! Surprised! The fact that it was common in girls too was known to me, but singing loudly on road is a different thing, even if they were boys.
2) Surprised by a scrap on orkut: Pushpa: Hi! liked your comment on how to enjoy solitude...Kind of me...I do try that..

Camera Fucked!

oooo.. ooooo.... *sobs
Camera got fucked very badly. Came from Bandish show and gave the camera to Kala to cover ritambhara. He passed it on to Aditya and he came back to hostel with lens out and no display on screen. It is hanged on in this condition. On pressing the power button it gives a horrible beep sound. Don't know what will happen to it. May be I can get it repaired.
Now all lost. No coverage of last day or antaragni. No coverage nothing anywhere. no lab report copying. No funny pics in the wing. No nature photography. No instant photo. No potrait photography.
