I am back!
May 17, 2008
I thought I would sound like Sylar or Spidy when they said it. Not quite so dramatic :(
Watching an old Telugu film full of special effects (Ref: Bhairava Dweepam) and listening to a failed pop singer (Ref: Smita) while blogging is not exactly a great set up. But when it is spiced up with some good food (Courtesy: CISCO mess) and a cranky roommate who specializes in pouranika geetalu and knows by heart all the dialogues in an old film things become so much more interesting.
Lots of things churning in my head now. Will think about what to write and how to write and will come back soon.
Atleast the first hurdle of getting back to my blog is crossed!

When the end is near, why do I crave for the begining
Apr 12, 2007
This what I see in the status messages everyday in my gtalk. Ofcourse, there is that occassional "Last one month in this God forsaken place" and a little more of blasphemy, but that is just an expresion of anguish at the system which is stubborn enough to test us even in the ultimate month of our union at BITS Pilani.
I have no idea why I felt like this today, but if I had a chance to go back and start from the begining, I would love to go back in time and do it exactly the same as I had done in the past four years.
Lots of meomries......I guess i shall organise them one day soon !

Permission Denied
Apr 2, 2007
Four years of BITSian life has made a man out of me. I do not get desolate when my favourite team loses a match. I do not get hysterical with emotions when I do something out of the ordinary. Hell, I do not feel even a dimunitive smidgen of remorse when I do not complete my assignment.
There was a time, a bygone era which few highbrows love to call their "wonder years", whenI used to shudder and even holler in dread at the very thought of missing a deadline for my homework. But now I am a man. I do not despair when I do not complete my work. I brazenly reproduce the work of my comrades, notwithstanding some skillful morphing.
Today, as usual, I was least bothered about submitting my PLCC assignmnet II until my groupie turned up, as always in a chop-chop fashion. So I sat down and morphed the code of a prodigy who still lives in his "wonder years". After four excruciating hours of strenous labour I pressed the "enter" key to submit my assignment. The screen immediately flashd a message :
Permission Denied
Four hours of precious time wasted, hope shattered, morale hit rockbottom.
This I take as a message from the almighty himself. I am a man and to show the right path to a faithful soldier of humanity like me The Lord himself has transmuted into the prithvi server.
I take the word of lord as my command.
Thou shalt not submit thy assignments

Day 2
Feb 23, 2007
My day started on a lazy note, a normal BITSian starting to yet another lousy day. The first thing that caught my eye in the paper was about someone's blog being closed by Google. I reminded myself to fill in Day 2........ya..there was still time for that to be done as the day progressed.
Today was the day when I promised myself that I would attend classes, yes all three of them, one after another. Sometimes these dashes of testosterone , or the lack of them, lead humans to take terrific decisions whose conseqences they are not really ready to be responsible for. I somehow managed to wade through the tides of boredome, frustration and utter despair that were thrown at me in the compnet and PLCC classes. Then in MSD class, there was again this faint hint of sticking your duties....attend clases regularly, study religioulsy,blog daily....BLOG daily??!!, now when did MSD start teaching about blogs??...somehow that came out of his wise mouth today.
And then, Dt prodded me to write a blog of my own. I havent told him till now that I did open an account with BLOGGER, but I will tel him in good time....and he will be happy to see himself in these records!
