A Request which i cant deny!

2006-05-31T12:00:00.000-04:00

All evidence suggests that the world has no logic or reason :) !!! One of my close friends and a fellow blogger, moved her blog from Blogspot to wordpress. All that is fine. But y on earth would she delete the old blog, even b4 she established a permenant residence somewhere else beats me. But talking logic is something that never works with gals ;)! Well atleast it never worked for me :)! (

One less thing to dream abt!!!

2006-05-26T13:40:00.000-04:00

There r some dreams which u think r a bit far fetched even for a dream. Well one such thing of mine just came true, without me doing a thing! Sometimes i just believe, things when left to themselves turn out much better than tryin to grab at them. Well I have never seen a 21m Radio Telescope b4 let alone control one. So recently when my research team drove to the remote corners of a Kentucky

Summer!!!

2006-05-06T21:20:00.000-04:00

AAAh....finally my second semester is over and kind of cooling off my heels within the airconditioned confines of my home! Wat a feeling to be free again with all the time to spend and nothing to do!!! :) !!! the last time i felt this was when i completed my project at Wipro and had 2 months to kill....Getting paid holiday in office is bliss!!! ;) But as usual, things r still very unsure on

Numero Uno!!

2006-04-22T23:56:00.000-04:00

Well i guess i have touched the physcological milestone of 1 year on april 17th, 2006! Being a lazy me...i couldnt even recognize that with a post :) !!! I am not a big numbers fan, but one is a small number !!! :) Forgive my PJ, but It has been quite a nice ride...!!! I have met many people here who have in turn become good friends of mine...!!! some of them being : 1. Smyta..numero uno 2.

Oh......mother!!!

2006-04-13T18:26:00.000-04:00

Wat is happening to my country? Inspite of me being abroad to what is close to a year, i still read 3 Indian newspapers almost daily and keep track of what is happening in my country! But 2 news of late have really caused lots of pain to read. They are as follows!!!! 1. Simran campaigns for AIADMK...and record crowd turns out to watch that Well I dont find fault in Simran all of a sudden

Inglish!!!!

2006-03-31T20:23:00.000-05:00

Well had been a tough time for a while. After my spring break, things have started to be on a roll and had loads of work to complete, pack off and all tat! Actually that didnt stop me from blogging, but the motivation to blog was missing, till the point i came across this from Smyta's blog Smyta's blog , which literally made me feel something real strong abt bloging again. Well first of all

Spring Break!!!

2006-03-13T22:23:00.000-05:00

Well, For all the puja holidays and the Diwali holidays i have missed by being in US, they have compensated by giving me an entire week off for Spring Break! I guess the tradition here is to hit the beaches (Florida, mostly) and party up! All tat wasnt in store for me(may b some other time), but i do have some plans of my OWN! Past week went to Tennessee for a glimpse of some beautifully dull

Fab four tag!!

2006-02-27T17:32:00.000-05:00

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

2006-02-14T19:16:00.000-05:00

Saturday 12,Feb,2006: It all started when i woke up from my sleep arnd 10am and came out. My first reaction was "WOW!". It sure did look beautiful, a thick white carpet was laid on on the earth and it was all of a sudden, "SnowTime!" Couldnt control myself after seeing all the snow and after goofing arnd by making snowball and hitting any1 who cares to b awake, thought may b i should build my

Winter!!!

2006-02-08T16:13:00.000-05:00

Well this is my first winter here in US and my first encounters with the snow. Here is a pic of the theological society of lexington. It sure does looks beautiful. The temperature is in the negative for more than 2 months now, but ppl here r saying that this has been the hottest winter as far as they can remember. Well it really is confusing to see the sun beat down ur face and it has

A Tag on some1

2006-01-27T16:48:00.000-05:00

Well, I was tagged on 8 points abt some1 by Smyta! Well I dont know whether my expectations r low or I just dont know abt what kind of gal I want. Whichever tat is here it comes....I am not mentioning LOVE coz tatz the basic block on which everything else can b built upon! Well the tag also mentions tat i should mention the SEX of my partner!!! I Am straight and So DAMN PROUD OF IT (

Life as a game of dice

2006-01-21T14:25:00.000-05:00

"Death is a null point termination of a random variable called Life!!!" I had taken a course on Advanced evalutionary computing last semester and It dealt with applying evalutionary principles for computation of huge problems for which you hve to choose the best possible answer from a huge sample space. It is like solving NP-Hard problems. But the point of the post is not tat. Its rather

Back to No-man's land!!!

2006-01-12T12:55:00.000-05:00

Ok, All good things have to come to an end, including my vacation time! So again it begins, my Spring Semester. Had my second day of classes today and I was sincerely hoping that this semester not be as tough as the last semester, but i guess hopes usually fades away pretty fast !!! :D For the first time in my life, i attended a class, where a professor warns you donot register for this

All about movies

2006-01-05T20:08:00.000-05:00

With the wonderful Winter break almost coming to an end, lookin back at how the time was spent is a usual way to kill time :). Well atleast i enjoyed being on the break and had cooled my heels for a while! But have to mention here is that the Flavor of this month had been MOVIES, movies and only movies! As usual vetti guys of Press Avenue usually gather at Apartment 10 for their daily movies,

My First road trip!!!

2005-12-23T12:24:00.000-05:00

General Destination: Nashville, Tennessee Exact Location:Vinayagar Temple Well I really look in wonder at people who can plan their time and life properly and execute it to the T. As far as i am concerned, i just go with the flow. Planning is never for me and all my best laid plans always go astray. So I had nothing spectacular in my mind after my semester exams, when I got a call from

Sleeppppppppp

2005-12-16T17:14:00.000-05:00

I dont know abt garfield's clock, but my body clock surely is broken. I cant sleep b4 3am and i just cant sleep after that. So I have no great plans for the holidays, just plain and simple strategy. Sleep like a log. But god, finally my semester is over and i can heave a sigh of relief that it wasnt too bad. It couldve been worse, much worse than what i am looking at right now. In a totally

The inevitable

2005-12-04T17:47:00.000-05:00

Ok,Since things have changed from software engineering to Electrical engineering and also that my exams r just around the corner, I have to take a break for 2 weeks from the blogging world for a while! I hope to return to the blogging world with a bang during the holidays and have a few things on my mind too regarding that! The first and the foremost thing would be to get a nice template, this

2005-11-28T16:08:00.000-05:00

Tatooines!

2005-11-22T14:35:00.000-05:00

I have searched long , hard and deep to find the ambition in my life. Finally after such huge search i have found my destiny. It is to become a fan of a fellow blogger and the Gr8 kalai. Now that i have read her almost historical blog on "En per padum paadu"(The torture of my name!) , I believe i have just read the most interesting piece of work on my life ever... I mean she is Gods or Goddess

boon or a bane?

2005-11-16T12:49:00.000-05:00

I had received an email from my friend for the umpteenth time asking me to join the sms group so tat u can send emails through the net and he will get it as an sms. I had a hard time explaning him that i dont have a cell. He was plainly not willing to accept it, he was like "dude, dont tell me u dont have a cell phone, its been 3 months since u have been there man! How can u be like detached

(Madras university taught me this...never leave anything blank!!! :)) 2. Finish my Masters ASAP! (But i dont know how!!!) 3. Seriously think of something new to do or implement (as in a proj or thesis) 4.

My experiments with truth :)

2005-10-18T11:23:00.000-05:00

Well, if u guys ever "wanna live life dangerously", then probably the best way to do that is to offend gals by saying something which they dont like to hear:) It is a sheer thrill like walking on the razor's edge. If u miss, She kills... Communicating with gals had never been a problem with me, but the problem is often over-communicating. I really do say something for which i get smacked often

2005-10-11T13:33:00.000-05:00

This is what i have been doing!!!

2005-10-03T19:44:00.000-05:00

This is wat has been taking up 95% of my time for the past week or so!!! Finally its done!!! Bliss!!!! As Mr. karthik a.k.a naikutti didnt understand the meaning of this post (I dont blame him! i didnt understand the proj either :) ). I am forced to go a little bit technical. It was a piece of assembly code for AMD K6-2 Microprocessor based on x86 architecture. The project was to calculate

Dearth of names for starting a party i guess!!!

2005-09-25T12:44:00.000-05:00

Well i know that india is packed too much with political parties and all tat stuff. But i was quite shocked (and found it extremely funny too), when i came across this party while i was browsing the HINDU. This political party comes from the Mallu land and was started by karunakkaran!!! Dudes, i know the PR guys for these political parties r morons, but Atleast they should have guessed this much

All in 55 words!

"I tried to hide myself, but she found me! I tried killing her, but more kept coming! Once one of them smelt blood, u've got no where to run! Kiss of death! She flies like an angel, but thats the last thing any one will call her! Darn these Mosquitos! they never let me sleep! :)" hmm...liked the idea of a story in55 words

Well this is what one of my friends had to say abt my blog...couldnt get more direct, can u? :) Guess havin gud time in cafeteria. Got bored at office and visited ur blog spot then found work was better :)

Tired of giving titles to my scribblings

2005-09-14T21:36:00.000-05:00

What is worse than being a vegetarian in a Country like the united states of ameriga? Working in a cafeteria that offers free food to all the employees. :( I guess the food is part of my package and i can hardly eat anything there except for the dessert. :D Well my luck that i am in the delivery section, so that tons of Beef,pork,chicken,fish,shrimp and hamburgers&hotdogs pass through my hands. I

Evil Personified!!!

2005-09-12T11:47:00.000-05:00

Well I guess its kind of a revelation that hit me while I was playing a game of basketball. I read somewhere that "How you play a sport shows a lot abt who ur!!!" If that is the criteria, then surely I am not a nice person to know! I mean this is kind of confession, where i get to say what i am!!! I am a pretty evil person. I stay good to people who are good to me and if they turn their back on

Trash Mongerers

2005-08-30T18:08:00.000-05:00

If u ask any student anywhere in UK (U of Kentucky) where to find some cheap second hand items in the place, he would without a doubt point to the "TRASHBINS". Sounds a little bit weird though, but so far after exploring around my apartment i have found 2 cardboard almiras and one lamp in excellent condition. I guess if i sell any of these outside in indian market, i will get a fortune for these

Hillarious is one word for it!!!

2005-08-24T14:12:00.000-05:00

Well So it began. My classes at Lexington, i finally got a chance to take a look at the most famed education system personally. Nothing different than our indian system actually, except tat here ppl generally follow what they say. :) if they say that u will get fail if you "plagiarize" (a crude way of saying copy+paste) then they definitely will,provided they catch u :D. I hope my software

Eurythmy

2005-08-16T14:50:00.000-05:00

well what are the chances of seeing me in an Eurythmy class...let me see astronomically close to 0.000000001? or may b less. I didnt even know if something like tat existed till 5 days back. But i guess its a kind of art which is real difficult to explain to ppl. I should have known to keep my mouth shut, but i guess i never learn. I asked the inevitable question to my bhabi, "So what are u

2005-08-16T14:34:00.000-05:00

You know when u get this feeling that things r moving at such a fast pace that u really dont get time to think what has been happening? well i was just feeling like Alice, "tumbling down the rabbit hole". so it all started on one fine sunday morning when i left for London. It was quite a story as i couldnt almost make it to the flight and then a mad rush through the passport clearance and

Memoirs of Pune diary 1.0

2005-07-16T12:41:00.000-05:00

I guess when I joined Wi*** Tech if some one would have asked “which is the last place on earth where u would like to work?”, my answer most definitely would have been “Pune”. I guess its natural decision as if u ask the same question to anyone other than a tamil and Andra fellow, they wouldn’t want to be seen around Chennai either. Lets just agree that we just cant mingle naturally. Well that’s

Adieu to pune - I

2005-07-12T13:03:00.000-05:00

I don’t know why but I hardly stay at one place for long. I have been hopping between places/friends for more than ten years now. I meet new people, make close friends, forget some bad old experiences and the moment I think I am kind of settled at one place, life kicks me on my back and says “move on”. Well what can one do but “Keep Walking!!!” Such a call had finally happened to me after a

Monsoon Treks...

2005-07-07T05:19:00.000-05:00

Monsoons are surely a Gods way of reminding us of the beauty in the world and how we all would be without it. The barren mountains rocks of Pune were such a sore sight to the eye tat I was desperate to see some rain before I leave this place. And rain it did, continuously for the past 10 days, sure did feel like being in Heaven. Especially when u come from the barren desert world of South India (

Love for books

2005-06-29T00:17:00.000-05:00

“Life is a tragedy at close-up and hilarious at long shot” –Charlie Chaplin Nothing ever makes sense in life. It might be a reason that whatever I had wanted in life always managed to run away from my grasp and when I lose interest in the same thing, It all gets back with much less effort. What a sweet irony. What am I missing when I am trying for first time? The Zeal to achieve the target is

change of track

2005-06-22T07:10:00.000-05:00

Well something interesting has happened in my life, which might turn my life upside down or downside up…cant say!!! It happened on june 17th, 2005. Location: American Consulate, Chennai I had an appointment for US visa on 8.45am. Reached the main gate of the embassy @7.30.Huge crowd of prospective students with fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, grandpas/ma’s, Pets (yes, there was a family with

The Q theory

2005-05-20T06:13:00.000-05:00

When I was somewhere between drooling and dreaming about the bombshell that was engrossing my sight, this so called “Q-Theory” hit me mercilessly back into reality. I was sitting outside on the stairs (Most happening place of our campus) and monitoring the people entering the canteen (U should consider this as an exercise of self-defense as u cant trust anyone these days. What if they were from

2005-05-04T11:02:00.000-05:00

I don’t believe much in wise sayings but this one sure did come true. “The best laid plans often go astray!!!!”Well I had tall plans for this weekend, which was dismantled block by block by the Evil Master (My Manager!!!!).Things at intel was going pretty fine, till the point I thought “Hey hold on a sec, I could take a break this weekend!!!”.I guess that should have

Some reminiscence

2005-04-27T11:08:00.000-05:00

Just some ramblings.... Lets just say, i was well informed about what blogging is and what the world of blogging is all about, but as usual one needs a motivation or a spark to do that. This happened to me when i was browsing through some site and i came across a Babe...Lets just call her shobster. :) And this babe interestingly has a blogging site and after reading the blogs of hers, i thought

My first musings

2005-04-20T04:23:00.000-05:00

Hello All, Well what can i say? I also thought let me join this band wagon of blogging. After having years of experience at being me, I can safely say i am an also-ran. Probably it is more right description of me than anything else. Anyways, i think it is egoistical even to consider that someone genuinely will skim through all those pages among the site and find this one. That is why 'ad'
