A 'Maybe' Goodbye

Sat, 21 Apr 2007 03:02:27 -0700

It is one of those times when even before you make/take a decision, you know it has a high probability of not working, but you go ahead anyway.

With this shoutpost blog, I did break the jinx of first 5 posts, but since this doesn't support the 'tags' and is not very flexible, I have decided to return to my blogspot account. Hoping I continue posting at whatever frequency possible. And hoping that really works out!!

B-bye...(though I'd be comi ...

My Sunday Today...

Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:48:34 -0700

Like I expected, today was totaaly uneventful. I had slept quite late yesterday. Actually I slept at 7 in the morning, so it was early this morning. Then I woke up around 5:30 in the evening. My friends had already left for Cafe Coffee Day for snacks and some cold shakes. I got up, brushed, went to pot, had a bath. By then it was already 7:30. Some other people were going out for dinner, so I joined them. We went to Red Dragon and had Munchow Soup and Lollipop Chichen to start with. Ma ...

Music - 3 - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 12:04:21 -0700

Of the maybe 7-8 bands that I'm addicted to right now, one is RHCP. Although now I clearly remember having watched Scar Tissue on TV long time before I even started listening to English music, but the first song I actually remember liking was (not at all surprisingly) Californication. That was about 4 years back. Then about last May, I heard the new album, and downloaded a lot of RHCP songs. Since then, I've been hooked. My average day must have at least 5-6 RHCP songs. My favorite as on ...

Exams Finally Over!!

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 11:47:39 -0700

After what was a 7-day-long, constant head-ache, my 2nd mid sems got over at 2:30pm today. Had first 'Computer Systems Architecture' from 11 to 12 and later 'System Analysis and Design' from 1:30 to 2:30pm.

Time since although not out-of-the-world fun, has still been better than last week's.

After restricting South Africa to an embarrasing 194, NZ is currently gliding smoothly at 42/1 in 12 overs. Their Captain Stephen Fleming is on 14 from 25 balls. H ...

Shoutpost Banned..!!

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 03:32:03 -0700

I'll have to say my college authourities are very stupid. We've been provided wi-fi connectivity in our hostels, but they've restricted a lot of sites like - orkut, porn sites, matrimonials, etc. So every time you click on a link that'll take you to such a place, you get a blocking message that goes "Dear Mr XXXX XXXXXX, the site you're trying to access comes in the category <>, you currently do not have permition to access this content. ...

Music - 2 - No Doubt & Gwen Stefani

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 03:11:54 -0700

I don't exactly remember when I'd first heard 'Don't Speak', but after many years since then, when I suddenly saw it's video on MTV, I could recall that I'd seen the song before (mostly because Gwen wears a 'bindi' in the song <a tiny dot on her forehead> and I had remembered that).
Then when the Hey Baby album came out, I got a few of their songs, and I liked them ok..Not too much but just fine type ...

Mid-Semesters Going On

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 02:49:15 -0700

My 2nd Mid-sems started this Monday. Total 7 exams, one daily till Saturday, when I have 2. Last 2 (Numerical Analysis and Material Science) went awful. Today was Operating System which went ok.
I seriously needed to do very well in these exams to improve my CGPA but that aint gonna happen this time. I'll try and work for the End-sems (they'll be held in last 2 weeks of May).
So everyday till Saturday, Best Of Luck To ME..
[currently listenin to 'Sta ...

A Test A Day Keeps MY Happy Times Away

Mon, 02 Apr 2007 10:05:53 -0700
Had a quiz in the course 'Principles Of Programing Languages'. Didn't do as bad as I could've but certainly Could have done better. Have another evaluation tomorrow. Lab evaluation of same subject. They'll mostly test us in C++. Then day after I have a quiz in Numerical Analysis. And my 2nd mid-semester exams start coming Monday. So, my plate is too full. To my credit, I always manage to find time to do other stuff (cuz I keep away from time-wasting activities like 'preparing for tests' a ...

Back To Hostel...

Sun, 01 Apr 2007 09:42:26 -0700
Just back to hostel. This 'home' visit was very little home and a lot of traveling. Was in my home for less than 18hrs. Reached my place at 8 pm, Fri. Then Sat at 2 afternoon for New Delhi to see my grandmother. She had just had a knee-replacement operation. She was alright and seemed cheerful. Then today I returned after a lot of unsuccessful tries to find the Bose speakers for my dad's ipod. Have a quiz tomorrow, so I'll not to get too disturbed by people studying around me(I gave up ...

At Home for weekend..

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 11:06:59 -0700

After a 4 hrs 30 mins and very unpleasant bus journey, I got home. That was at 7 pm. It's 11 pm now. My initial hours have been a bad experience due to this throbbing head-ache I've got. They are quite rare actually. I get head-aches maybe once in 2 months or so.. But they're always not welcomed.
I might have to go to Delhi tomorrow (another 4 hrs journey) with my father. My grandmother had a knee-replacement surgery 3 days back so all family members are going t ...

Weekend Ahead..

Thu, 29 Mar 2007 13:16:10 -0700

Every weekend for last 2 years has been quite an 'issue'. I can either stay in college or go home. Most of my fellow hostlers go home each weekend and hostle in such times is a quite and deserted place.
But (like me, mind you) my parents think I should come home only alternate Fridays; which is very fine with me, cuz except for great food and sleep-as-much-as-possible, I dont do anything else. And yes, almost 4 hours of surfing for porn (once my folks are asleep) every night ...

Music - 1 - Thoughts

Thu, 29 Mar 2007 12:41:20 -0700

More than anything else, I wanted a bin to direct all my thoughts/opinions on Music and people related to it.
There are maybe a zillion (or 3 dozen) bands/people I just love/admire/cant-do-without (eg. U2, Tupac, Aerosmith). And then there are singular 'acts' by others who may not be in the list but have 1 or 2 songs that are just perfect (eg. Turn Back Time by Aqua).
Titles for all my music related posts will follow the syntax 'M ...

Take 3......and ACTION!!

Thu, 29 Mar 2007 11:56:10 -0700

This isn't my first attempt at blogging but hopefully this'll be the last blog I start and first one that I maintain sincerely.
It is 12:28 AM by my watch(..late night or 1st hour of a new day!), and I should probably be sleeping. For last 4 days I've only attended college post-lunch and my (lack of) attendance is reaching dangerous levels, but heck-with-it, I'll try this some more...
Anyway, best of luck t ...
