An Eventful Day!!!

Yeah, July 25 which was a couple of days back was a very eventful day. It was the day my results were announced for the (not so) recently concluded semester exams and also the day when I gave my GRE.

Starting off, my exam was scheduled for the afternoon and hence I got up at around 8. It was a pretty dull morning and after having a shower and breakfast, I left for the test center, which is about 25 mins from my place. I realised that I had reached early and hence had quite a long wait in store. Luckily, there was this other guy who I knew and hence we whiled away the time chatting.

Exam was done by 4 and I had done reasonably well!! Though it was not my best performance, it was not a bad one by any stretch of imagination. I reach home in half an hour and learn that my exam results were to be announced that very same evening but at 8pm. I said to myself, "Ok, that is still about 2 and half hours away and that I can relax for sometime, maybe even a small nap. But as luck would have it, I got some phone calls and before I knew it, the time was about 6.15. And then, I start getting smses telling me that the results are out. I was like, "Oh My God!!! So soon!!!."

To top it all off, the University page refused to load and it was my friend CK who called telling me that the page was loading for him. He checked his number and had cleared all his subjects. I was like, "dey check mine also da." and was waiting with bated breath. My heart almost stopped beating when he said, wait, ur page is loading and when he said I cleared all, I was like, thank GOD!!!!!! Was a huge relief.

Results done, back to phone and cell and landline kept buzzing regularly to keep me occupied till late into the night!!
Cheers!!

Killing Innocent people!!!

On 7th July, multiple terror attacks rocked the city of London killing around 50 people and injuring several others.

Just a couple of weeks later, just as London was recovering from the earlier attacks, police found 4 undetonated explosives in various public areas, the most notable being the ones on the London Underground System which serves as the backbone of London's public transport system.

Barely 24 hours had passed when bombs went off in a tourist resort in Egypt killing 88 people and injuring around 200 of them.

All of them innocent tourists who were on vacation and just wanted to have a relaxing holiday. But these terrorists, whoever they might be don't spare anyone.
And these kind of headlines just keep appearing all over the newspapers. Just recently, I read that an explosive device had gone off in a shop in Patna and that another one had expolded somewhere in Spain.

I am hoping that these are the last ones and that the terrorists realise that they are killing people who are not at fault at all!!!

My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones in these attacks.

Take the tests

This site has some really cool tests and other stuff that will keep you entertained.
Anyways, I took one of the tests and this is what appeared.

Template Change

Yes, it was long overdue.
I have changed the template on my blog and played around with the colors as well.
Also incorporated are weather updates and Google search. Hope all of you like it
Cheers!

Discovery all set to blast off!!!

The NASA space mission DISCOVERY is all set for its launch at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. This is NASA's first mission since the Colombia disaster which ended in a crash over the state of Texas killing all the seven crew members on board. Among them was our own Kalpana Chawla from Haryana.

And according to NASA, they are taking no chances with regards to safety of astronauts and there are goin to be 112 cameras, YES, 112 cameras filming the lift off to check for possible debris and other related safety issues.

*update*

As I am typing this, there is still just over an hour and 35 mins left for the launch.

*end of update*

On a personal note, I would love to see Discovery being a successful mission and people's faith on NASA being reinforced.

*Update 2*

Due to some techincal problem in blogger, I was not able to post this some half hour back. Now, I find that the Launch has been delayed due to a problem in the fuel tank.

From the NASA page,
Today's Return to Flight launch of Space Shuttle Discovery has been postponed due to an issue with a low-level fuel cutoff sensor onboard the vehicle. The sensor protects an orbiter's main engines by triggering them to shut down in the event fuel runs unexpectedly low.

*end of update 2*

On a personal note, I would love to see this mission become a huge success and people 's faith in NASA reinforced
Cheers!

Yes ... Its raining in Namma Chennai. Well, not very heavy rain. But enough to cool the city down and bring a smile on people's faces. And to top it all off, I got drenched all the way from Anna Flyover till home. Awesome feeling.

For a rain starved and water-less(donno if tht is a word) like Chennai, this is a welcome surprise..

Happy getting wet..

Random Thoughts

I am sitting in the library at IITM and this shared LAN connection is dead slow.. To kill time, me bloggin :-P
I came here in the morning at around 11 am and its now half past four. Actually accomplished lot and also did a lot of Vetti stuff like what I am doing now..

Thought 1:-

David Sheperd retires

This is one guy whom I respect in the cricketing arena. Umpire 'Shep' as he is known to people close to him stood in his final test match at Kingston, Jamaica some three days back. A chubby man from England, he was one of the most widely respected cricket umpires in the world. Loved the way in which he used to hop on one leg whenever the score was nelson (111, 222, 333 etc.. ). It was a wonderful gesture by Brian Lara to present him with a bat.
Hope Shep enjoys his retriement.

Thought 2:-

Why do so many people opt for software jobs?

This is one question that I have been trying to answer for quite some time. Recently, a friend of mine got a job at Tata consultancy services (TCS) thro' the college campus recruitment office. Now, this guy is a mechanical engineer. Maybe he has very good programming skilss and all that, but all that aside, I was wondering what made him opt for software when he has so much knowledge in mechanical engineering. This is just one example. There are numerous cases in which this has happened, people from non software backgrounds enter the software industry.

Is this due to the fact that there are lot of jobs in the offing in the software industry??

Is this due to the lack of jobs in core companies. ???

Is it because software companies supposedly offer better pay packets? Better hikes, other perks , etc.. ??

These are some of the questions that are in my mind right now..
From what I hear, the software job is pretty demanding and you just have to keep staring at the computer screen and coding . Doesn't that sound really boring??
I am glad I will never know.. Cos' come what may, I wil never ever accept a software job. Thank God for that!!

More thoughts will follow:-D

Amal, Vimal, Kamal EVAM INDRAJIT

This post derives its title from this play I saw today. It was by this very popular theatre group EVAM . This was one of their serious plays. Atleast that was what I expected.
And yes, it did turn out to be a serious theme with bits of humor injected here and there.

Me in no mood to type out a review. Check out their website for when they are performing. I do know that they are premiering a new out and out comedy play on Aug 15th. Hoping to check tht one out

Clay Court tennis at its very best

This week is the second and concluding week of the Clay court season with the French Open Championships happening at Roland Garros. Normally, I don't watch too much clay court tennis beacause its unexciting with all unknown and unheard players battling it out from the baseline. I like to watch serve and volley kinda tennis. But, this week changed that.

I watched the Quarters between Mariano Puerta and Canas. Canas is a very good player from Argentina and traditionally, all players from there are great Clay courters. The match lasted five wonderful sets and Puerta hit some amazing forehand winners and literally hit Canas out of the court in the final set. Too good

Just finished watching what was dubbed as the match of the tournament which was between Federer and Nadal. It was a good game but somehow, Federer gave me the impression that he was not at his best. He did not attack Nadal's serve too much and generally was very defensive. Am not taking any credit from Nadal. He did just the opposite, played very aggresively and won.
He truly deserved the win.

Looking forward to the final now

I am left speechless!!!!!!!

3 goals down in the first half. A comeback by scoring 3 goals in the space of 6 glorious minutes of the second half. A disallowed goal...A double save by the goalie deep deep into extra time. Win it in the penalty shootout. Oh my God!!!! What a game!!!! A better script could never be written. Nobody, absolutely nobody could have thought that Liverpool would stage such a comeback after the first half. I am sure even they did not think such a comeback against a Milan defence that included the likes of Jaap Stam, Nesta, Cafu and Paolo Maldini was possible. In the end, Liverpool FC were crowned Champions of Europe.

I am writing this minutes after the match has finished and I am not one bit sleepy. Its just too much to take in. Maldini scored in the first minute of the game and Crespo added two more to rub salt into Liverpool's wounds. To compound Liverpool's misery, Harry Kewell had to go of with a groin strain midway thro' the first half and Steve Finnan had to be substituted at half time as well. Liverpool were just asleep at the back. Carragher looked very ordinary and so did the two wingers.

After the first half, I thought I'll go sleep since this game was all but over. But, I decided to stick around for the first 15 mins and see if there was any spark left in the game. And man, was I lucky to have made that decision!!! 'Cuz there was some quality football left to be played still. Stevie G started the comeback with a powerful headed goal.

45'----> Scoreline AC Milan 3 - 0 Liverpool

54' ---> GOAL by Steven Gerrard (AC Milan 3 - 1 Liverpool)

56' ---> GOAL by Vladmir Smicer (AC Milan 3 - 2 Liverpool)

60' ---> GOaL by Xabi Alonso (AC Milan 3 - 3 Liverpool)

The comeback was complete!!!! Gerrard was inspirational in the second period and he scored a goal and then won the penalty thro' which Alonso equalised. His penalty was saved by Dida but he scored of the rebound. Call it luck, fate, destiny, whatever, Liverpool just could not do any wrong it seemed. Milan never even realised what had hit them. The Liverpool supporters cheered their team on and the game ended 3-3 after normal time

The match went into extra time and there were some tired legs out there. But who can blame them. AC Milan looked the fresher of the two and had some good chances to win it in extra time. It took Jerzy Dudek's double save to keep Shevchenko's point blank range effort from crossing the goal line and you just knew it then!!! Liverpool were just destined to win this trophy.

Penalties and Milan's Serginho took an awful one which sailed into the crowd and Pirlo's was saved by Dudek. Liverpool found themselves 2 up in the shootout with both Cisse and Smicer converting. Riise missed because of s superb Dida save but it came down to Shevchenko, arguably the world's best striker to miss his penalty and they had done it!!! Liverpool had risen from the dead to win this match.

It was a fantastic night at Istanbul!!!!

Its a cruel, cruel game

I am yet to recover from the shock defeat that Manchester United suffered at the hand of the Gooners(Arsenal) last evening at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff. WE dominated the game throughout, including extra time. WE deserved to win this game easily by atleast 3 goals minimum. It was a combination of bad finishing, Jens Lehmann and the linesman's flag that saved Arsenal from defeat. We had so many clear cut chances that Roy Carroll could have gone off to sleep and still would not have conceded.

This game being a Cup final went into extra time and even during that period, Arsenal struggled for possession against a dominant Man Utd midfield of Keane, Scholes, Ronaldo and Giggs (came on as substitute for Fletecher after 90 mins). The wingers Ronaldo and Rooney teased Lauren and Ashley Cole for the entire game and even they will agree that ManU were the better team.

But, we failed to score and the game went to penalties. Here, Scholesy missed one and that was that. Lehmann looked the better of the two goalies (obviously cos he had more work to do in the entire game and hence more warmed up) whereas our man Carroll looked stupid. And to top it off, the guy I hate most at Arsenal, Vieira slotted home the final penalty for them to win the trophy.

We almost won it.!!!!!! Almost!!!!

A couple of Legends...

The title is inspired by the fact that yesterday was a very unique day. Ok.. Not so unique actually. It happens at fairly equally spaced intervals. It was Friday and it was also the thirteenth of the month and hey... Put this together and you get

Friday the thirteenth.

This got me thinking (yes, I was majorly jobless for most of yesterday) as to why this day is unlucky and why it got its name. I actually uncovered some very interesting facts. I believe that this fear of Friday, the thirteenth is called paraskevidekatriaphobia. There is not really any scientific logic behind all this but the funda is otherwise simple.

This fear arsises from two separate fears namely the fear of the number thirteen and the fear of Friday. And if both these occur together, its considered a very unlucky day. Thirteen is because it was the number of people present at the last supper (jesus and his twelve apostles) and Judas, the apostle to betray Jesus Christ was the the thirteenth member to arrive. The fear of Friday is of more common knowledge because it was the day Jesus Christ was crucified. Additionally, many people believe that Friday was also the day the Great Flood started, Adam and Eve had the forbidden fruit etc etc..

Many people also believe that if they commence somethin on a Friday the thirteenth, that project will be doomed right from the start. People who only believe in scientific proofs think its all gibberish and a bunch of nonsense :-D. There are a lot more theories that supplement these facts but as I mentioned earlier, this is the basic funda.

As I was reading this, there was this link that was about another very common legend

April Fools Day

This got me to read about why April 1st is celebrated as April Fools day all over the world. The funda here is something to do with the ancient calendar system.

I believe that this explanation dates back to 16th Century France, the year 1564 to be precise. The new year according to the Julian Calendar that was being followed accepted the beginning of the year in April. Now, there was this king named King Charles IX who declared that France would use the Gregorian Calendar which meant that new year's day was shifted to January. Wonder why he had to do that..??????

Anyways, what resulted was confusion and not everyone accepted the date change at the same time. Some people still celebrated new years in april as they did not like the date change. Some people who lived in far off remote vilages in France did not even hear about the date change for a long time. These people who celebrated new years on april became the butt of jokes and thus were called fools giving rise to the phrase April Fool!!!!!

Also a quick update, Part 2 of the post below will follow soon.

I think thats enough "gyan" for the time being..
Adios!!!

How dumb/stupid can people get?? - Part 1

Ok.. The title speaks for itself I think.. I have been coming across various instances recently that prompted me to write this post... Read on.. (Note :- You are FREE to get the hell outta here...)


Still reading.. Ok.. here goes ...

Instance 1

This happened today evening and hence is the freshest in my mind...(Is there a word called freshest.. I wonder!! Leave a comment telling me please!)
There is this shop where I went this evening. Now, as you all know, all shops have doors. This one had the word PULL written very prominently in like 3 places if I remember right..Anyways, this lady (fat woman is what I would call her) and her son (kid abt 5-7 yrs old) were about to leave in front of me. And this female PUSHES the damn door when it clearly says PULL. And obviously, the door refused to move beyond a certain point (as all doors are bound to do if you force them to do something they are not desgined for). Now, please keep in mind that this woman was FAT. So she obviously couldn't squeeze out and she blocked her son from doin so too (you see, that her son was behind her.. poor fella!! And I am behind him.. Poor^2 fellow..)She was this very dignified looking lady , looked educated and al that . So she should have been able to fu****g read the label. Then after about 20 secs of wrestling with the door, she suddenly realised, "hey , I am doing this the wrong way"..Lol..Then She pulled and we all got out.. Phew!! Another 10 secs and i woulda lost it. I swear!!!

Instance 2

I have always hated the way pedestrians cross the road (busy roads especially) as if they are on this moonlight walk without a care for anything in the world.. It is this very quality that makes me want to tear my hair out. Imagine this:-
When you are driving at a considerable speed and suddenly outta nowhere, this @^%$#*( decides that he wants to test brakes of speeding vehicles and its your car that he happens to pick. The exact same situation happened to me. This idiot decides to do this and luckily, I had enough time and space to slow down and swerve to the right (It was about 2 in the afternoon and not much traffic on the road). He sure got an earful of the choicest expletives from me!!!!

More important things are beckoning.. I have an exam for which I know nothing..

To be continued

Later

Phew!!!!!!! Just 3 more to go

Yeah.. Anna University exams are on in full swing!!! And I am so glad that there are only three more exams left.

*Updates on exams*
Exam 1 : 29-04-05

Title : - Digital Communication

This is one of the exams that I will always regret for not doing well. It was such a simple paper. All theory. I had to search for numbers in the paper (of course.. apart from the question no.. !!duh!!!)!!! I am probably not kidding when I am saying that it will be one of my bigger regrets if because of this paper, I lose out later on.. Well.. enough moaning..

Exam 2 : 03-05-05

Title : Electromagnetic Waves and Wave Guides

After writing this exam, I can not so proudly say that i still do not have an inkling as to what a Wave guide is or just how two fields are transverse to each other....That is how much I knew/know about the subject when I went in..And it was a f**king question paper. The problems that were given were either

a) Incorrect (Conceptually)
b) Involved too many calculations
c) Made no sense ( Atleast to me :-P)

Anyway, cutting to the chase, I guess I should clear this paper (Hopefully!!! fingers crossed !!)


Exam 3 : 06-05-05

Title : - Computer Communication Netwroks

Ahhh!! Finally!!! Now this exam went off very well. Even though the paper was VAGUE, I kinda feel good about it.. Now, this gives me some hope and inspiration for this semester.

Very sleepy now..
unitl I blog again..
adios

What a shot!

He turns 36 today..

For all you people wondering what the title is all about.. It refers to the man . no wait.. the legend that is Brian Charles Lara(See pic). Though I haven't blogged in a long time, I am goin to reserve tht for later and today is all about the greatest batsman to have ever played the game of cricket.. yeah.. people much older to me will probably argue Sir Don Bradman's case or maybe even Sir Garfield Sobers, but hey.. I havent seen them play and hence cant comment :-)

On May 2nd , 1969, this fella was born in Cantaro.. Now please dont ask me where this place is..Anyway, he started playing cricket at a very early age and went on to represent WI U-19 test team when he was 15!!! The rest as they say is history.. He is easily the worlds best cricketer and is a match winner in every sense of the word..

I remember those days , when I was about 6 years old (thats as far back as I can remember) , I used to watch every innings of lara that they showed on TV, whether it was day, night etc.. I used to support the West Indies team because of him and will never forget the two superb innings of 375 and 400 tht he played.. But my favorite all time great innings is the one which he played against Australia to win the match batting with the number 11 .. the score was 213 not out.. I could go on and on about this man but I will reserve that for another day

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARA!!!

Adios..

traffic traffic everywhere

I am not usually one to complain abt roads and traffic situations in good ol' Chennai but I am forced to... I think that explains my day on the roads today..

It started off well but at the saidapet signal, my vehicle was abt to give way.. (read sputtering).. I somehow dragged on and took a left to CIT nagar.. (btw.. i was headed towards West Mambalam).. Somewhere in the lanes of CIT nagar, my vehicle came to a stop.. Me tried starting for 10 mins. But no luck.. Then I bulbed.. Looked into the fuel tank and...............DRY..lol. NOT A DROP OF FUEL.. . Didn't realise tht there was no fuel when I started off... apparently, the fuel indicator was wrong.. (or maybe i did not look).. anyway.. called a frend up. He did not pick up cos he was asleep.. (calls me abt 45 mins later..useless fellow.ghrrr..) So, me pushed (or was it pulled. does it matter) the vehicle to a petrol bunk which was abt a Km away..Burnt a lot of calories (made up for it later as you shall soon find out)..

anyways.. at the fuel station (this was one of those shady bunks .. no pure for sure..or such signs)..ok. I used the concept of "something better than nothing".. this attendant dint mix OIL and petrol (he poured OIL separately and Petrol separately) and hence my vehicle sputtered for a good 5 km thro the crowded streets of T.Nagar and W.Mamb.

Ok. 2 hrs later .. work done.. Time abt 7 30 pm.. I drop a frend off and then make a stupid decision of goin to mount rd via panagal park /duraisamy subway. (for chennaites, these places have the most volume of traffic especially evenings). Another 30 mins gone in negotiaiting a stretch of hardly 2 Km and I am tearing my hair out from under my helmet (guys if u wanna know how tht is done. contact me..) . finaly make it to this frends place near mount road and later we decide to hog at dhaba express.. this explains the calories thingy earlier.. tht finished. i drop him back (time = 9pm)... and still there is traffic at nandanam signal. Had to wait atleast 3 rounds of signalling (or was it four.. I stopped counting)... and had to negotiate traffic all thro mount road/saidapet before arriving safe and sound but pisssed with the whole world in general...

until next time..

Abhi
(state of mind == irritated)

Jobless on a monday morning!!!

Hmm... Well, its monday afternoon now.. Wrote the title a couple of hrs back and forgot abt it until now..Well, basically I am approaching the highest degree of boredom (if there evr was something defined like tht).. Its not tht I have nothing to do.. Infact i could fill an entire blog with a things to do list. Its just that I aint getting around to even starting to do stuff.. Woke up at approx 10 in the morn (tht gave me abt 7 hrs of sleep).. Needless to say, a power cut was what woke me up.. These things are really gettin on my nerves.

There is this farewell party for the seniors tht is supposed to happen.. So hoping for some good food and some good eye catching fun!!! lolz... Got my GRE on june 6th.. might as well prepare for tht..
until next time..
