m sitting here scratching my head with …

Jagga(he is as usual buried in SIGGRAPH stuff) on rite and ranta(I guess he is riting a post..not sure) on left, WHERE THE HELL IS LIFE GOING…..yeah m frustoo rather I wud say I was frustoo, a lazy blogger has to do it becos if he can’t quote it then, at least he got to save the emotions…. with all the shit I did for IE thing in last 3 days ….wat made me stop from readin my bloglines feeds (yeah I moved back to bloglines screw Google Reader…first product from Google which did not keep me there…) well its a lot in last 1 week so lets have it in an ordered manner like an organized looser will do it…

  • as soon as I finished a good amnt of Terrain project thingy with Shiben, I kinda got into relax mode, with Wie’s wallpapers all over the place, wat I c is ….I have tons of work to be done and the worst part the work which is not appealing to me …. I wud rather go and do some social work than doing IE/NLP projects(there is a contradiction later on). So there it started I guess, Quake 4 was out and my dear most project and MSBR(hopefully..) partner who is one of the most religious gamers of IIIT was very much excited abt playing it on a 6600GT 1GB RAM machine and no one more than me wanted him to play it on the best PC in our college, so I had to move my stuff to room[1]  and thus had to work in room for my …..

  • IE project….it felled terrible to work in room, firstly Windows and secondly damn it Windows…..I was very much patient and I guess now I have got this environment problem while working for the first time not only it has to be Unix but the damn xterm has made me addicted…..After a useless effort?? of riting smthing in python with a very bad algorithm at the back end our project, Re-ranking of web pages based on user profile,it got dumped, Prasad Sir clarified smthings and now without even thinking abt wat happened all these days and today morning, I wud just remember that I m supposed to do it from scratch and submit it on 30th Nov. well now after he explained me the problem and in fact the approach, I m more interested in that topic, as it will be having a classification part which will basically classify the web pages into one of the categories…..and then so and so … which I have to discover…..
  • During all these tedious days, there was still smthin missing to make me frustoo of degree ‘n’. One fine day (damn it there was no fine day then…)I get up and see that my mailbox has 4 mails with the subject Comments from blog, now even after that weird sleep of few hours, smthing inside me knew that this is not possible….my blog sucks so much that I can’t get 4 comments within a nite I mean yeah I have got it some of the time but nope that time it clicked rite from inside….and damn it Viagra “who the hell needs that ….” fk finally spammed( I mean got spammed :( ) …….no captcha no protection (phew wat a word to use here)…and there I was with all the frustration from that IE thing now I have to immediately close my blog, man that thing contributed like 40% to all the grievance(just looked up on dictionary.com was getting bored of word frustration) I collected over the period. That day I decided to move to wordpress but till today I don’t know how …. I don’t c a damn way other than manually…and that is smthing which needs time ….blah….time my …..
  • Today after the sensational talk with Prasad Sir, I decided to continue the project and really do smthing abt it …. at 3:00 me n shiben met Dr. PJN who started the talk with his famous line, “so it has been long u have seen me …. ” and we were like “sir we were trying to finish the course work…..” and he is like “ok this is the best time to screw them…..he he”, well he wants us to finish the project as soon as after the endsems…..damn y did I even think that I will have time for IE thing … but well now I have made the choice and in this case I can’t even go for findin out y the hell I made it …. no time….so lot of work in hand as soon as I finish my exams on 12th….and thats y
  • M not going home in Nov. and thats y I will be going in Dec arnd 8th I guess but can’t say nething….already friends from home are sending mails which just have one line or smtimes 2 becos of large font with historical words related to human’s body organs. All my friends are getting together in Nov….nope none from IIT ….one from Rajasthan, he has his own business….damn him he is sexofreak man….and Apurv from MAHE….and so on…..well no probs…will c them smtime later or mite visit one of them  when i go in Dec. Now that means I got to spend my B’day here as I did in first 3 years of my B.Tech…..well this time its gonna be fun, firstly there is CAT on 20th so everyone will get a day off and then on 22nd we can party, secondly partying on B’day is smthing less frequent for US……and finally M$ releasing XBOX 360 on my B’day although that has nuthing to do with me … but still…..and u know wat
  • Suddenly I feel confused abt my choice of Google as smthing the best place to work, Dr. P. Anandanan has turned my idea of “learning more” aka researching upside down by the talk he gave a couple of days back…..with all the nautanki of Placements….I don’t know y are they making it so complex….I feel so bad for my friends, everyone is waiting for the placements and today again we got a mail saying they further want to postpone the placements to 22nd dec but Padmaja is trying hard to help the students….neway …. yeah MSRI damn it some good work happens there and as P. Anandnan said its never that A job is not suited for a person its always the other way round. I feel I m not good enuf for that place …. but then he said “you don’t have to be a genius to do a PhD” but that works only till some level…..I don’t know abt where and wat….but one thing is sure after Google’s ppt although they were here for the testing team recruitment….I feel I can’t stop learning here and live rest of my life …….hooooshhhh
  • At last I don’t know wat I m going to do in Nov. 2005,
    1. I want to move my blog to wordpress
    2. I want to finish on this Terrain thing
    3. To celebrate my B’day in peace
    4. To do my exams well (y am i asking for this..?? well I want that 8+ factor)
    5. To apply for Grafix TAship

and finally I m uncommenting the comment code and trying my luck against the
Viagra spam… :(

[1] 2 note books which I m using for last 4 semesters and they mite serve me in my last sem also….a notepad which was sashi’s originally distributed at ICVGIP, shamelessly changed the name on cover to pATI and book m currently reading at snail’s pace “Biography of Richard P Feynman – Surely you are joking Mr. Feynman”

and he got his footwears stuck in the pond….

It was a fine nite….I didnt actually experience anything abt the nite but yeah it  was one like others, sound sleep and late to bed so that, late to get up….when I  woke up, wat I c is a remake of Day After Tommorow but with the  change of state, we were going to drown if not burried under tons of snow as in DAT. PPl were determined enuf to move to the place they want to go, Canteen, Chota Canteen,  Class(??), Shop opposite to IIIT or Lab…..some just crossed the pond safely pressing  their books b/w hand and ribs….with the other hand keeping the lowers off the water ……Masu got stuck in the pond with his footwears deciding to stay at a better place  rather than his legs…..All this through sleepy eyes of mine, through the grill which  is like a window for me to see the unseen and yes my fav to stare at the horizon….then  as the day progressed within a couple of hours the ground was visible and things were back  on track or rather the track was visible………..that was a beautiful start to a romantic weekend as Sam said…

Orkutting….I am so happy that I m not wasting 4 hours a day at Orkut.com as I did in my 2nd year….but damn my gmail keeps reminding me abt it everyday. First it was just the First Years who added me one by one … now out of no where smone added me as her friend after like 4 months I guess….just that I was not able to remember when did I add her as a friend……blah…I m not gonna log into Orkut…already there a trillion things to divide my work time into tiniest of durations.

I have moved back to Bloglines as Google Reader was making me frustoo, Even after removing a damn feed it keeps fetching stuff for next 2 days. I guess I will just wait, so I just played with the Export/Import combination of the 2 and moved back to my old Reader Bloglines. Another decision to be made tonite is,if I m moving my blog to WordPress…..its so tempting …… I guess I will do it, becos I can always have a mirror at research server if I wish…..

Well will rite off with this and will think of the shortest way to move the
blog to wordpress….:) bbye

Fallen Leaves ….

When I was born I did not know I will be having such a beautiful life, infact It had been awesome all the way, one of the most adventurous and exciting ones. Today when I walk on the straight road which links my working place to my resting place, I “think” :O, who was with me ?  throughout, from the birth place to school (yes I had only one school) to college …. then I see the fallen leaves which are trying to keep up with me while I m walking, It seems they are the one which I always played with when I used to sit under the trees in my school and do whole lot of stuff from reading, listening to one of the 2 friends who have had a fight, sitting around with friends after bunking a class [1], watching the babes njoing there Games Interval to even climbing on those trees and moving away from them (fallen leaves), they were always there. Once when I was in class 7th, I was small and it has not changed much, now I m 5′7″ but then I was smaller than most of the pupil in class I used to be 38th odd highest in a class of 45 ( :P 7th odd shortest :( ( ) one day when we had this games interval we were kinda bored from playing football and me n my friend Kamlesh went under the trees[2], here this asshole who was 4′9″ at that time climbed the tree, now that obviously made me want to climb it too…but then I knew I cant have bad friends (who help u when u need) and I really trusted this guy for ditching me in the last moment. Suddenly a breeze passed by me  and I was thinking lets give it a shot…..with his help I got onto a very nice strong tree(and hence tall)…after like 5-7 mins we heard a whistle  now this was the first thing that shud have alert me but nope smthing was overme …. when this guy started moving down the smirk on his face made my hear go Mmmmmm….but still I didnt loose the hope untill he started running as fast he can towards the class…… :( ( damn the PD started walking towards the trees to put away the balls and stuff,,now wat …. U r dead U moron….lets just finish this becos I cant help laughin rememberin all this….when he comes there he sees me up there On top of the World…..U dont know how much he hated me and there was a reason which was genuine enuf to treat smone like that…..well wat cud have happened …. I closed my eyes and let my body feel the gravity …. I was down there with a thud……walking with him towards my class was like A light year….and then the worst part….when I enter the class….it seems the world was against me … my teacher asked “So ur back Mowgli”….that SOB not only ditched me but also set up the stage to make a scene….

It was one of the infinite personal anecdotes….this post have given me a new idea to quote my experiences which are so very important to me..Kamlesh was an awesome boy….he is still one….and yes he is still not a bad friend ;) …..

[1] Anurag, Me, Harsh, Abhishek, Dev and Gopal, we 6 had a group and damn the name was Dash-6 just becos we cudnt think of a name we put in a dash there earlier I used to think that its dumb but later I realized that it was kinda kewl.

[2] These trees where planted when I was in class 2nd infact one of those where planted by me and one of my teachers….

Hmm we have smthing to learn
