Its birthday again!

Lots of wishes for free. More wishes than last time. My friend list is increasing. I'm growing up. Going out and making more friends this year.

Traveling home for 3 days was not very much fun. It was raining heavily when we somehow managed to reach Kanpur Junction at 1 am. Waiting for the train, standing and sleeping together. Then finally caught a train and reached home 5:30. Three fests together at home - 15th Aug, Rakhi and the birthday. aah! nice time really! But I had to finish an assignment that was to be submitted on18th in the 9 am class. This is the irony of the story. Solving assignments at home on your 22nd birthday! Got on a train at 8:30 with my parents and sis who were going to Delhi. It was exactly 00:00 when train was at Kanpur station. I wished my sis while we moved into 18th Aug., her birthday; and celebrated with ice-cream. I gifted her my laptop. To say it is not good to present used gifts. But do you know what it takes to part with personal things like laptops? Anyways I will try a few days without having a Personal computer of my own. If it helps for better acads. Just in case it does.

Coming back to the campus it was not much different. Slept for 1 whole day and plan to sleep more. And labs this semester really suck! My interest is pathetic when it comes to making lab reports. Just getting through it.

Coming back


Yesterday I was just reminded by a friend that I haven't posted since long time. And rightly this my only second post after coming back to Campus.
So. I came to my second home on 25th July and felt the feel of 4th year. Not final year though (Im in five year program). Third year has been tiring and academically backward. But after the intern experience Im loving IITK like anything. It's best place to live man. The hassle of corporate life is much different from the paradise of college life. I'm sure we all miss it after we leave behind. For the first time I'm happy that I have one extra year for IIT life.

The intern experience was a learning one. Went out, met people, loved them, met bosses, worked from them, hunting for rented house, freaking out for dinners, being hated for being bachelors,.... the list goes on. And there are lot of new things which showed hard realities of life. All that helped in better appreciation of Darwin's theory. Struggle for existence and survival of the fittest. That is popularly quoted in Hindi as aate daal ka bhav. Though all the while it was exciting as well. Sort of adventure. At the same time I was counting down days for the return ticket to home. But you know what; when you long for something more than you should then life teaches you a lesson itself. Remember Wordsworth's The Prelude. When the final day arrived the icing on the cake was we missed the train!

The last day turned out to be adventurous. Then moving in and around railway station. Plans and replans came one after another. But using Internet at the station I finally ended up in booking a flight in the night which drops me at Delhi on the same day just before 12. Thanks to Ankit whose had credit card at disposal. Once bitten twice shy. Time I wanted to be safe so I reached Hyderabad airport 5 hours before the flight. Then boarding on my first passenger plane it was difficult to stay awake after the tiresome day. I was weird out physically but not mentally. My good old friend Rubik's cube (4x4x4 cube) was with me. I used it to stay awake. Then I met this air hostess who had two marked attributes. First, she had one of the cutest smiles and the second- she had seen 4x4x4 cube! People in India hardly know about 3x3x3 rubik's cube and this girl knew about the 4x4x4 one. A rare piece! At last cubing fever is cathing up in India too. As I accomplished the solve she accomplished the smile. :)

And even as all this happen the Sun and the Earth and the Moon went on rotating and as a result the days passed on and once again I find myself scribbling on blogger at 2 a.m.

Time of your life

Time 6:04 PM. Saturday 7/12/2008
Place: lab 2 block C IPDO,Dr.Reddy's Lab. Outskirts of Hyderabad, AP, India.
Current Mood: Hasty
Now Playing: Sajda (Lata & Jagjeet)

Was this anyone (including me) thought about me 1 year back. So we see how unpredictable our life is.

With no one around and still connected to the world via web. Got news from New York (Shanu), Paris(Aditya), Belgium (AmitC), IITK (Shadab), Patna (Krishnam), Gandhinagar (Vinay). Internet is amazing discovery. You can keep in touch with your loved once at every instant.

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

I'm here

This post is just to declare that I've still not mutated into non-blogging species.

Recovering…

Written: 02 July, 2008

With 1 day medicine, I'm recovering. Temperature is normal and no headaches and stomachaches. Now 16 days to go here. All left for the final presentation on 18th this month and then we leave on 19th morning.

Falling ill

Written: 01 July, 2008.

Falling ill at home is so different from falling ill outside home. I understood this on Sunday and the following days. Got a fever on Saturday late night which was preceded by digestive system disorder. Probably it was a coffee attack. I was under coffee addiction from 2 weeks or more. The outcome was a manifestation of 4-5 coffee per day.

Whatever the reason was I lay in my bed at 3 a.m. in fever. Infected with harmonically varying fever, headache and weakness all of Sunday. Missed office on Monday.

At home when you are ill you are surrounded by mother and siblings for anything you need. Thousands of healthy diet stuffs ready for you.

Title: Hallucination is reality

Written: July 25, '08


Steve Jobs is inspiring. "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever."

But how do I know what to trust?

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking."

This is my first experience of blogging offline since I'm deprived of internet connection.

I'm really puzzled over what my love is? L

Hallucination is a reality but I don't see it anymore. Though everyone keeps saying this every time but hallucination is not a reality at all. But if you keep saying this to yourself like this 1000 times you might get into believing that hallucination is really a reality. K

We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control.

Hey teachers. Leave those kids alone.

All in all we're just another brick in the wall.


Life is an Affair

Life is an affair. You need to do justice with it. You can't just walk away cheating with this affair with your hands still clean. You ought to make it a successful affair as you would wish for your love affair.

When you are young opportunities are endless. Capabilities are infinite. It's only a matter of choice. Choose one and go for it. Only one thing that you like can make a successful affair.


 

Love it! Live it!

The Moment It Clicks

"What you see on these pages is not about a particular place, people, time or cause. It’s not about one type of picture or another. It’s not about sportsmen or fashion models or war or politics or the news of the day.It’s about being a photographer."

Travelling 26 hrs from Delhi to Hyderabad now I arrived here. Right now in the IDPO (R&D section) of Dr.Reddy's Lab. Its doesn't seem to fit in my profile. I doubt I would have been better working in an auto industry or any damn foreign university.
But let's be optimistic. Leaving it as for now will not be a good choice. Now Im sitting idle on a bloddy Win2000 PC where orkut/gmail and even IITK webmail is blocked! God why will anyone block webmail. The guide assigned to me

Time and Space

What would happen if time and space would be exchanged! This can be a concept of next Spielberg blockbuster.
It would be no big deal traveling time. We can easily travel back to our childhood. But then space would be unidirectional. We cannot experience the the same place as before. We can only go forward and forward. No looking back.
And then wise men would say. "Space is money".
Much more interesting can be added to this topic but only when i have space.err.. time.

Exams up! Me down

Finally committed to Computational Heat Transfer for the thesis with our own PSG sir! So 5th year may be kinda cool with all the coding from the comforts of hostel room.

Besides this semester really gonna hit hard on me. With close to failing in 1 of the courses. (I still much chance of passing). OK. now no more of this stuff. Exams come and go. Life keeps on going.

Planning for a break in summers. With the internship already fixed in Reddy's lab, HYD, Im looking forward towards it as a learning experience. With the working environment of industry it will surely be a exciting. Besides I plan to read up some of the history and geography, at least the Indian portion of both of them.

Search for Thesis

On 2nd April I got a mail from department that you have to select thesis guide and topic for you for the M.Tech. by 6th April!!!!!
Good. I have to decide thesis guide. On such a short notice! People take years to know what they like and I ve been given 4 days!
Bewildered by this, I tried getting Computational Heat transfer, the only thing that was uninteresting to me in Mechanical Department. Huh! Kudos to me. I was rejected by the professor since he had already taken a student and the golden rule in this dept. says 1 prof can take 1 student!

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
Then again
That might have been a dream

I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
And I just do what i've been told
I really don't want
Them to come around

Exam plethora

Close to getting my first 'F' in college. It's 15 min before I gave exam. I can't speak now. I can't think. I am choked. It feels suffocating. Somebody give me respiration.
I'm still. I can't move. Feeling dizzy.
Now no expectations upheld. I'm ready to take in anything. And back to business! Get back to study. plethora
