My Experiments with Life

Hi all Last year, this same month, this same day, this same time...what happened? Too much build up, haan? Anyway celebration time...Its one year since I've started to blog....I've been fairly active I should say....Happy birthday to my blog.... Long live My Experiments with Life!!

Hi all.. Two hectic days of conducting mock interviews for our juniors... Was a good experience... ....................................... I studied in one of those schools, whose students are branded, "convent educated", which is considered a prestigious tag here. I love the hymns that we sang during the general assembly every morning. Some lines of certain hymns are my all-time-favourites. I'd give them here. I like the third one very very much. #1Count your blessings: Count your blessings; name them one by one Count your blessings; see what God hath done Count your blessings;name them one by one And it will surprise you what the lord has done. #2:Liberation There are those who have talents they do not use To build a true community. And we know that we all have the talent to love But leave it burried in ourselves. #3:in his time There's a time There's a time Both for sowing and for reaping, there's a time Time for losing, time for gain Time for joy and time ...

Date: sometime in mid 2004 Time; Lunch time Venue: Hotel Saravana Bhavan, Anna Nagar, Chennai Occasiion: Class Industrial Visit Me, Ms.Y and a coupla others shared the same table in the restaurant. All of us were having meals. And I finished eating first, and after i came back to my table after washing my hands, I found that there was a glass of watermelon juice on my table in front of my chair...I thought, perhaps, every meals was complemented by a juice and I happily drank that...When Ms.Y finihed her lunch, she was waiting for her watermelon juice, and alas it never came, when she enquired about this to a bearer, he said,"oh madam, you need to get a tocken for the juice from the counter paying Rs.40..."...We were kinda taken aback as in how was I served when I hadn't ordered. Before we could clarify, we were rushed up to get into the bus so that we would reach the industry on the appointed time...In the bus, one Mr.X asks Ms.Y, "How was the watermelon juice?...

Hi all... I was not in the town for the past two days...went to Salem for my classmate's wedding. Oh wow...that was nice...the first wedding in our class... We went day before yesterday by intercity express to Salem and spent the night at Mehala's house.Mehala is also a classmate of mine from Salem. Her mom was amazing in entertaining us, that too with 8 guests. Hospitality and tamilians are always synonymous. And then the next morning, Parveen's wedding. She married her first cousin Nazeer Ahamed.This was the first ever time I attended a Muslim wedding. The rituals took like less than an hour. The groom was in the hall and the bride was in another hall upstairs when they got married!!! Then some men (I guess they were godmen from mosque) went to both places with a register and got signatures from both the bride and the groom. And then some recitations from the holy text of Quran. I guess that meant the declaration of the wedding, then they showered buiscuits and chocolate...

Hi all... In girls, I find this phenomena, if a guy comes and talks to you, definitely he is a flirt...Look at him like dirt..and show your attitude... I hate this... I can assert I am definitely not this kind. Strangely, I find that I've been in positions where guys think I have an extra soft corner for them just because I listen them out or be friendly..whereas my friendship with them would have been completely on a platonic basis. Is this the reason why girls never give so much space to guys, which might put them in not-really-required awkward positions.. So girls, never sit and listen to a guy's problems unless you are too close to him or if you are willing to take the relationship to another plane.....I mean, we girls do talk out our problems within ourselves na...never do that with guys you dont wanna get involved with..When a guy sees an extra care coming from someone, wow, he gets emotional...now we don't want that...do we? But nevertheless nothing wrong in b...

Hi all.. I find a phenomenon in Tamilnadu guys(I dont really know whether it is the same case with other guys as well...) They are soooo withdrawn...in the sense, they find it extremely difficult to talk with girls...Ya..they are street smart and all...but when with a girl, no ...they can better themselves...There is this guy in my class, who should interact with me for certain official reasons, he sees to it that he never calls me by my name(for that matter, any girl by her name...)....even when he has to pass on something to me from a couple of benches to my back...he would not call me, rather, he would come all the way and hand it over without an extra word...And mind you, this not an isolated case...happens pretty often... But I know that these guys are not shallow at all. Only with the opposite sex...they are drawn back...They have a voice only when they are in a group of their own kind...never an individual move... On the other hand i see that girls are pretty open...in thei...

Exams got over yesterday...The last ever exam of my undergraduate course (final semester is a project sem) I'll miss my exams, eventhough am a little relieved. Those sleepless nights, those book depot bench last-minute clarificaions, those xeroxes, those heavy books ), that hall A310, those stationary lootings from Priya, those phone teachings, those after-exam long sleeps, etc, etc... I'll miss all these people: Halkias, Stallings, Proakis, Pfleeger, Feher, Sam Shanmugam, Reza, Schaum series, Gabel&Roberts, Kennedy, Rappaport, Tanenbaum, Floyd, Boylestead, Taub&Schilling, Dorf&Bishop, Oppenheim, Gaonkar, Gayakwaed, Hayt&Buck, Haykins, Lathi, Pucknell&Eshragian, the three authors, etc,etc

Hi all... One more exam to go....Thats network security on monday, so a little bit of breathing space here... Here lemme write a coupla funny stories... #1: Everyone knows that guys never take notes for any lecture...but they are really prompt and shrewd in finding out which girl takes best notes and get them photocopied... This guy, Abi, whom you can see a coupla posts down, he always xeroxes Kruthika's notes...This time around, for the subject communication switching systems, as usual he took her notes and started learning the day before the exam, and there came a topic of image transform techniques, and he sits and "thattifies" that like for an hour...now for non-ECEans, Image transform and switching systems are like two things that are oceans apart... now coming to the real time scene.. abi, in his room , learning.. tring tring......tring tring abi-hullo aravind solda... arv-ennada padikre..macha its too much da this subject ... abi- i know...this image transformation...

Hi all Ate soooooooooooo many diwali sweets, that i am sure i'd have gained some extra kgs in the last coupla days...not that i am very weight conscious or anything... My friends visit me often, and they have a meal at my place, and i've noticed how less they eat...For eg.if it is chapathi, i'd grub atleast 7-8, and my friends have a max of 3...the same case with rice and everything else too. When i visit them i notice the same thing, and their moms would be telling me "my daughter isn't eating at all..." and stuff...But my BMI says I'm perfect with a score of 20.5...So not bothered there... Watched the cricket match...man I again reinstate my admiration for Dhoni's gutsy shots....Hey i wrote the same thing exactly 6 months ago(the last post also says this correlation na...?) So history repeats itself in 6 months, atleast in my blogs...but, no, dont just read my blogs for 6 months and think you have consumed everything, things do spring up anew.:-) Aft...
