Destiny :-?

Hi fellas,

Its been long I have typed in something which does not need to be compiled aka gcc-ed, hence this !!

So today I am going to tell you a decently-entertaining real life story about 2 of my schoolmates and 2 of my seniors at school. So this one day I was orkuting (which I keep telling I dont like but yet another forced labour) … okay okay hold it right there, since we have touched upon the subject of Orkut let me talk something about it in the following quoted block.

So I am bit confused about what Orkut does, as in does it intend to do it or its just me.

1. Orkut’s Birthday Reminder : Everyone knows that Orkut uses a single timezone no matter where the user is accessing it from. Nothing wrong abt it. But what the heck, doest that mean it will never show any Bday at the correct time EVER?

2. Orkut’s Fortune of the Day : Now whats the deal with this, In the stupidity order (ascending)

Your winsome smile will be your sure protection

You will always have good luck in your personal affairs

You and your wife will be happy in your life together

Why they are in ascending order of stupidity? Ok, I can safely assume that I have a winsome smile and it will somehow magically work TODAY.(still stupid). Second one is like literally Fk*d up, it uses a work ALWAYS, for a day’s fortune, hello. Third and my fav (remember we are quantizing on stupidity), I am speechless man !! It should rather be “Future of for the Day !!”

But whatever its okay !!

Yeah, so I m like browsing around my schoolmates profiles reading latest scraps and participiting occasioanally, and suddenly my eyes were magically stirred towards one of the scraps reading “Not married, engaged”, and I was like :O

I will tell you why I was like :O and not :D or :P or >:) or :-? ? …. etc.. So its time to throw in some characters, hmmm. So I have this friend named A we are like buddies and stuff and in a class of 40 he and another 4 which makes us six used to behave more arrogantly amongst each other than we did with others, hence we are friends for life. So this guy A is getting married on 13th Feb, I knew it, it was all hardwired by now in my brain, plans and dates. Its an arranged marriage at his place which I temporarily forgot (I told u, friends for life) but its somewhere in Rajasthan. Now coming back to :O thing, now this news about this girl schoolmate of mine call her P who was now as per Golden Orkut Scrap, “Engaged” (and later came to know getting married on 7th Feb) was continuously, without fail, spiritually, hit on by non other than A and thats why I was like :O and not :D , so whats the deal lot of ppl get married on the same day, hmmm still this was like awesome to hear / read. And then my quest for knowledge, recalling that Learning was my passion, I started hunting for information about marriages of my schoolmates. In short I came to know another couple of girls getting married soon and one of my friends successfully predicted the future and said, “Can you believe they are getting married, and the next thing they will have is, Babies”. yeah buddy thats true.

When I was in class 7th or 8th can’t recall, I went for this school trip to a place called Panchmarhi. It was a pleasant one and I remember almost everything about that trip (except what class I was in when it happened) one of the things I recall when I think about it is this conversation me and one of my seniors at school call him L, an IIT-B grad had. How he liked one of his batchmates and would really like to be a part of her life, basically he was in Love (yeah just love, it was not deep, it was not true, just love got it !! thats the only kind of love exist). So one of these days I get an invitation for attending his marriage, and since it was a Bcc-ed mail it was  a formal invitation to the marriage with an e-copy of invitation (God! how I hate e-stuff, had blogs being called e-diary I would have never started it) there was no extra information. So, I go through this e-card and find out that the girls name is R , I catch him on GTalk and ask him this wierd question “Is this the same girl R, you talked to me about on Panchmarhi trip ?” and he was like “Yup :D “. Oh God ! I am glad it happened. Alas his marriage was on the very day as SIGGRAPH submission.

So lot of BC going around people growing up, getting married, others watching them, yet others just blogging about it!! I am expecting a lot of entertainment over next couple of years.

Happy Life buddies !!

I am growing geeky day by day and now that’s affecting the titles of my posts too !!

So basically I am doing the same thing over last 5 days, what has changed is the newspaper I read in the morning, the clothes I wear and what I eat for lunch and dinner. Otherwise it has been a action packed time and will stay same till 23rd of Jan I guess. Given its I J C A I ‘07 @ IIIT – Hyd there was a lot of rush over last few days. I hope the visitors made use of the informative signboards planted recently. Working towards the deadline of 23rd I hope I will be fixing a date soon to go home after that. I can’t wait to attend the marriage of one of my school batch-mate in Feb, I hope somehow I land there on that date.

In time being whenI was here doing something + nothing + important-thing …. Su and Tejo rised above us (UG2k2) all, well ^:)^ ^:)^

Lately in-spite of being busy I have watched a lot of movies ( reason 1 :: I don’t watch movies alone and hence shiben was there to decide on the movies and there we go, reason 2 :: All my sweet sitcoms and serials are not being telecast-ed :( ) . So I watched ::

  • Blood Diamonds :: Well directed, and of-course long time no C Leo !
  • Equilibrium :: Aloof in a lot of senses. Fighting sequels really kewl.
  • The Illusionist :: Nice, really nice ! Edward Norton is cool.
  • E=mc2 :: The biography of the most famous equation !!
  • The Quiet. Camilla Belle is so beautiful !
