World at my end !!

Sshhh..Koi Hai !!! :D

2006-07-31T02:40:00.000-07:00

It was about 12:30 at night and i was watching some movie on my comp,all alone in the room and the lights swiched off.I sat on my chair infront of the window on the left corner of my room that had a glass pane,the pane was just shut but not latched from inside.My room window faced a big grass lawn that ended in the hostel boundary wall.Engrossed in watching the movie, it was sometime later that i felt some distraction by the inconsistency in the amount of light that came from the window.Instantly I turned my eyes by 90 degrees to look at the window pane.There was some yellow radiation falling on the pane that was dispersed throughout.I tried to pay some more attention, stared at the window for sometime.Only a moment later i figured out that there was shadow of some object that resembled a hand(with five fingers) touching the pane and may be in an attempt to open it .With no further thoughts that may cause slightest of the delay, i took away my headset, threw them away on the floor and hastened myself to the door.I was so horrified that I kept trying to open my room door that was actually latched from inside.
Quickly i rushed to the room infront of mine(Richa and Anu's) .When i told them everything, they reacted the way i expected them to.They both were quite amused and said its quite normal if i imagine even the most horrible thing and may be this was all the consequence of watching too many horrors and thrillers.I didn't try too hard to convince them because I was myself not too sure whether i really saw a "hand" on my window.Still they agreed upon accompanying me to my room and have a check ;).We switched on the light and as we stared the pane,there was nothing i can or anybody can see.While Anupriya was quite sure about my hallucination, she sat on my chair and doing smthing on the comp,i kept convincing Richa about the shadow I saw.Then just as my last attempt i switched off the light and tried to see & show something on the window.Meanwhile, someone among the two..Richa,i guess prompted "Ab tak to jo bhi hoga, bhaag gaya hoga"...
But suddenly the same figure, quite enlarged this time reappeared on the pane and frightened all 3 of us.Anupriya(being closest to the window) suddenly sprang up the chair and all three of us screamed quite loudly and hurried outside the room.Even Richa said "Sach mein koi hai!"
Listening to us some others arrived to my room and then began a serious investigation from within the small window ;-)
After sometime, we realised that wat really was the root of all Horror was no human hand..but a peculiar shaped leaf of a wild growth just outside my window :))
Well this incident proves that i really get frightened easily, nomatter how much i deny the truth but my neighbours are neither too bold nor brave as they might claim ;)

Summer of 2006

2006-07-29T02:08:00.000-07:00

Again I am writing too late, but again nevermind..better late than never ;-)
Last couple of months had been a bit tough, a bit more work and load than its usually in my share or rather thats I pefer to take on my head. First the fear of not getting a proper training opportunity, secondly the dilemma whether to do a project in IISc under a HOD of SERC Dept or to go for a official training at Mentor Graphics,Noida and all that under the loads of final days of the 6th semester.
After some contemplation and advices, I finally joined Mentor at Noida for my 2 months Summer Training.Since I reached about 3 days before my training was to start I explored nearly every place in the vicinity that I cud with my elder brother on his Bike.
The bike drives on the smooth and clean roads there were nodoubts too good to enjoy,as compared to the Varanasi roads where even the most grand bike wud be forced to run like a rattling cart ;-)(The roads outside BHU Campus).But I came up with a sad conclusion that Noida has nothing much to see and visit than the Malls and may be just some movies in the PVR's or some shopping but that option was highly improbable in the absence of a female company :(.
Well then my training commenced ,went on and on, the routine became slightly monotonous in between but still the work i was given was good and interested me.With the two months of this new kinda experience I really learnt a lot both professionally and personally.Now I can say these two months had been most productive holidays that added loads both to my knowledge and personality and i certainly enjoyed the company there with most co-operative and amiable people around me.But the real importance of weekends was soon realised in the corporate life as compared to the student life where each day can be made more or less as good as Sundays(atleast here it is so ;)).
Now when I m back I recall that my daily sleeping routine was a bit weird then.On 5 working days of the week I used to sleep from abt 11:00 p.m to 6:00 p.m and then one ,too essential refreshing nap of abt 1hr from 7:30 to 8:30 exactly .Only then i used to rush to the office.Well mentioning here why i had be so weird to fulfill my sleeping dose seems to be a bit risky job but i can very well take the risk now ;-).Well the reason precisely was my elder brother, he used to wake up early in the morning to leave the home exactly at 7:30, and meanwhile i had to study (or atleast pretend to study), to avoid lectures and scolding right in the morning.

And what followed was a pleasant suprise,on the date(30th June 2006,Friday) when my official training period finished, I was offered a PPO(Pre Placement Offer) by the senior HR Manager.Not to mention, i was really too happy to hear the news, that i cud hardly pay any heed to wat she spoke for the rest 15-20 mins.The next day was a busy one for my brother,with loads of work he had to shift from Noida to Gurgaon.Still we managed to enjoy the first half of the day with a movie and the lunch outside.And thereafter, i was permitted to sleep as much as i want ;)

QuickUpdates@MyLife.

2006-02-08T01:43:00.000-08:00

Hmmm....too late this time but again floating on the waters i m,while too much resting on the river side this time ,....and made it now partly cos of some realisations made by my friends abt my untouched world and partly cos of the boring reading i am going through right now.
Not that interesting events have ceased to occur in my usually "boring" life or i was really too too busy(well that surprisingly never happens wid me)...but somehow i cudn't motivate myself enough to an extent to write anything.
Well, so on note of updates of the World at my End ,...it wud be really unanticipated if i forget to mention abt the the winter expedition that was kinda long one (2nd Dec to 21st Dec,2005), officially known as Departmental tour scheduled every year for the 3rd yearites after the 5th semester.The tour although intends to carry out as many industrial visits as possible in order to provide the students with ample exposure to the office environments etc but only we students know that the mission remains almost unaccomplished every year,and the more abandoned the mission the better is the batch considered...cos this is something thats on the minds of we future technocrats since the beginning...see the irony!
The tour covered the following places--Bombay,Goa,Bangalore,Ooty and Mysore...visited in the respected order.U can very well guess that everything was so impeccably planned( courtesy: my class boys) to leave no stones unturned for a fantastic winter this time otherwise Ooty and Goa wud never been there on the list.Well whatever be the case,the tour was a real real fun that cudn't be expressed in words in this little space.Apart from visiting places,shopping and trying out regional food at every place ,there are some memories/experiences that wud stay alive and as fresh as they were forever and ever,and if only time was in my control i wud have stopped it from moving ahead.
Back to BHU on 21st Dec,2005, a really short visit to home this time , then the usual new year celebrations in the hostel....the new year 2005 ,a very significant year for me and some others,marked by some pronounced events, some dissapointments already and some real strong resolutions taken on day 1 and broken on day 2;-)
Then the usual birthday celebrations, not with too much of bang....but yeah..a lot of partying(three till now) and i hope & pray for no more now:-).Seems to me that number of parties is directly propotional to the year u belong in IT BHU,because i remember i gave 1 party in my 1st yr, 2 in my 2nd year......so does that that make four in 4th year???:O....Even in that case i shud thank God that the B -Tech degree comprises of just 4 years :)

As over a month of this semester is already over,time is seeming to fly away
like anything, probably because the institute events are occuring one after the other in a flash....and everybody around is so busy!
And as as each day passing on... the 0verheads on minds are loading on;-)!!

Last but not least..."Get On ,Get going...and do plan everything,b'coz if u fail to plan,u plan to fail."
Will be back soon...

2005-10-28T03:37:00.000-07:00

There dwelled a feeling estrange from the starting,
Poor heart, deluded by your brain so cunning.
Never a talk, it was just the acquaintance of eyes,
That beckoned you two into each others sides.

A deep desire within to sit alongside and have a talk,
Pondering over the ways over how to manage a walk?
Trying hard to convince "It is just an infatuation",
Unlucky you, this has been your misconception

Fact is, you hardly managed to throw away her thought,
Just because she is the only one who was ever sought.
Might have curbed sometimes in the background,
But comes instantly, in your thoughts profound.

Farthest of the distance couldn’t wash it away,
The unfeigned feeling in the end did find its way .
Even the factor of time couldn’t help you much ,
Since it was only her, the end of all your search.

A long time has elapsed , but the emotion still exists,
Throw away the reluctance now, that still forbids.
Who knows there is a surprise waiting for you,
Affections on the other side are the same too.

Nothing to fear, for the admittance so veracious,
For its just you who knows they are too precious.
So long it has been now , but its never too late,
To pour out your heart and to have a better fate ;
And to confess it all, without which you cannot make!

Priya.

salaam|namaste(outside Cinema Hall):Film Review

2005-09-11T12:32:00.000-07:00

This next post of mine was planned to be dedicated to the film review of this new movie starring Saif and the Pretty Woman but here u will find something more intriguing and worth reading...

The movie was ofcourse awesome (after all we played the major roles)..and enjoyed too in the end...seriously!!

*STARRING*

in positive role:

1.A Nepali Aunty(as was appearing from her appearance,nomenclature by Anki:-))
2 Anki,Anu,Priya & Shubhra :-)
3.A girl in blue top( Miss X),And her boyfriend(supposedly)( Mr.Y).

in negative role;)

1. A lady in blue salwar kameez and yello dupatta
2. A lady in Yello saari

Keeping in view that today is the first Sunday after the movie was released,after a little sesion of some confusions and fuss in the hostel,we four reached the movie hall at abt 2:15 noon.
So the movie starts 45 minutes before the scheduled time:-)

We saw that the queue was a bit long but then relieved to see that the ladies' one was much shorter,Anki stood in the line and we 3 stood beside her talking on anything we saw around us and PJaying as well :)...Abt 10 mins passed and i cud realise that Anki had hardly stepped ahead, I inquired as to why not even a single girl got a ticket till now and left the queue...and I was answered by a lady infront of Anki "Ticket waali khidki khulegi tab naa"....Aah!! it was already abt 2:30..and the place was already too crowded.."how can they expect to sell all the tickets in jst 15-20 mins or so??"...but there are no options!
So we waited...Had the premonition that getting into the hall today won't be a easy job(if at all that was destined)..and Anki will have to give a good fight to get us in.

Finally the "khidki" opened ..Thank God!! but along with this cool news..someone prompted from behind that the tickets in black were already on sale.Well,no worries for us, for we had jst abt 5 ladies infront of us...& we were pretty sure for atleast we four before the scheduled time for the movie.
So atleast watching the movie became sure!:)

Then comes the real twist in story, someone said that one person can only take 2 tickets at max...no probs! Shubhra makes her entry..and stands behind Anki...myself and Anu right beside them:)..Miss X behind Anki in the queue was kind enough to let Shubhra in.

Then Aunty in blue suit makes her grand entry,this new entity was appearing right infront of the window...from where did she come?..someone said that she just managed into the queue from a side path to let out the ones who have already bought the ticket.The ladies in front became furious and asked her to join from back,and we also started supporting them :-) ..making the environment bit lighter;-)

Initially the tone was peaceful
"Auntyji hum log bahut der se wait kar rahe hain, aap please peeche se join kariye!"...
But aunty just ignored us,on repeating our dialogue she just gave us a glance..and carried on!..Oohh!! that was too much now!,she doesn't even care to reply.. someone from behind said Aunty bolengi unhe to woh nahin sunengi",and we started laughing.."to fir daadi bolna chahiye kya";-)(someone amongst us prompted again)...
Well we ignored her thinking its all futile talking to her,and one person more won't make much of a difference.But then arrived the another negative character in the story,lady in yello saari...she kinda "squeezed" Anki and Shubhra in the line ,entered & stood in front.Now that was limit..!The movie was abt to start and ppl around were taking advantage of our generousity mistaking us for the dumb ones...but they were kinda wrong...all generousity should be shown only to the ones who really deserve them..... and ofcourse,no compromises when it comes to movies;-)

Everyone else in the line including us were trying hard to convince them to move back..but in vain!The lady in saari was all the more obstinate and we said so many things but no effect at all...how can someone elder behave so kiddishly?..Her attitude was really really annoying.Shubhra literary shouted at her,but all vain.

Shubhra::"This is teththerism yaar"...wow what a new word!...but mind it,its not english ;-)
Well with very little hope of getting in now,we still waited for something better.The serious scene created there was soon turned to a comic one...
The lady in blue suit still struggled hard to put her hands into the ticket window,
I tried for something lighter as always:-)..just in meagre attempt to cheer my friends..i began kinda singing
Priya:"Peela dupatta neela suit"
Anki:"Chali chali yeh ticket ko loot"
Unknowingly this became a bit loud and the whole environment burst into laughter:-) specially the "nepali" aunty( who was standing in front of Anki in the queue),she continued laughing even after a long time and was really too humourous!!
The aunty in blue suit seemed to overhear the joke pointed at her...didn't matter to us much
Then a trick came for the "other" one too (for the aunty in yellow saari).
I told her "Auntyji someone is calling u, he says its too crowded,and u shud leave"
Aunty::"Who is calling?"
me::"How do i know auntyji..he just asked me to call u,the lady in front and in yellow saari"
Aunty::"Okay!tell him I m just coming ,I m abt to get the tickets"

Probably she anticipated my trick,and the smiles on our face made it all the more obvious...doesn't matter:-) once again!...we were having fun...and once again the "Nepali" aunty added spice to the whole scene.
Sometime later husband of "nepali aunty" (Uncle)arrives.
Uncle::"Chalo yahaan se ,black mein tickets le lete hain"
Aunty::"Arrey chodo ji,mujhe yahaan bahut maza aa raha hai"
Uncle::"Par movie ke liye late ho jaayenge"
Aunty::"Asli movie to yahin par chal rahi hai"....In the whole conversation she was laughing away merrily...and seemed to be enjoying so much that she didn't realise when she actually shifted from 3rd position to 4th in an effort to listen to our gossips:)
Finally,her husband shrugged off & left and she remained there itself with us.

What next??
The black tickets soared to the double rate..And what cud be worse? the "khidki" was shut again!
All the "encroachers" and the sweet "nepali aunty"also left...now we were the first ones right infront of the window..but of no use until its shut..We already resolved, that we won't buy tickets in black.. whatever be the case,after all if citizens like us will encourage all this,who's gonna stop all that??;-)

We were just abt to leave,when Mr.Y says
"how many tickets u ppl want??"
"four"
"There r just five tickets left inside"
"Yooo!!"
But there are total of 6 contenders...we 4 ,Miss X & Mr.Y:(
We rejoiced(being on front) but the expression on Miss X face turned dull instantly....Mr Y suggested her something..
"Tum dekhlo inlogon ke saath, main bahar wait karta hoon"..wow,so much concern.thats really appreciable..But as expected,Miss X won't agree to this atleast...Now what???

It was already 3:15 and someone said the movie has already started,and neither of us was in favor of watching this movie from somewhere in between!
So before our roles turned into negative characters between the sweet pair which seemed to be sad just bcos of us ..we decided to walk away so that atleast this story might have a happy ending !...leaving them in utmost happiness right infront of the "shut" window:-)

Finally,back to the hostel..:-(and writing this blog on demands of few "special" ones!!:-)

Treats & Feasts.

2005-08-20T03:58:00.000-07:00

Wat a lovely season!!
Come on, don't peep out of the window now ,there is nothing relating to the Sun or Clouds...what I m talking abt is this time when we don't have to bother much abt saturdays( cos on Saturdays our mess remains off in the evenings).... & everytime there's someone who gets on to us to greet to his/her Treat,or rather its the other way round & its we who get on to them;-)....hardly matters!!

But what matters r the cuisines & the place...the idea of trying something new in the city is always appreciated.And another thing that matters is the occasion.... B'day,New Job or something else...

These months hold on with maximum no of B'days...B'day Treats r just awesome!!.Even yesterday it was a gr8 day.As u all can expect it has to be adventurous & extraordinary, after all it was Juno's B'day( I hope u remember what happened last year ;-).....) & I really wonder what must have happened when she was actually born??

Not to mention, the eminence of being a junior is well experienced when u r the part of this institute....but there is some kinda gala feeling when u r the "seniormost juniors" of the final yrites! With the placements season on & present scenario going quite well (touch wood) , there is a sort of festive season all around.......and the best thing for us are the TREATS...some already done with , and many still left!;-)......So all I have to say is that ....Well seniors...u just keep on Rocking & Treating....and we r always there to take care abt the rest & making ur day a memorable one;-)...but mind it that can be "either of the ways" ;-).

At last, a sincere thanx to all the "Treat Sponsors".
...from all of us!!

Time.....

2005-07-22T22:05:00.000-07:00

Well,i m back to my Institute now bustling with the same earlier routine more or less. Being a 3rd yrite now, i think its really high time for me to be contemplative abt some important aspects....na na nothing u r thinking of ;)....but jst some others that r more imp right now.
Sometimes I realize that the time has been lost in a wink, appears as if it wasn't too long that I was new to this Institute,oblivious of its ways, routines,and ofcourse the ppl around ...and now everything seems to be so aquainted.I remember my initial days here in which i used to hate this place partly cos of the departure from the homely ambience and partly cos of the precarious residents here as I used to think of them ;).I acutely revive the incidents when some senior who even inquired my name seemed to be so atrocious and then heart throbbed at its full beat.Anyways,its all past now, and ofcourse my view point abt all that have also changed and it won't be a big surprise if i m myself found engaged in some activity of this sort ;)...and i feel its just not abt me , its the same story with almost everyone out here.Primarily it used to be difficult but then now everything is as complaisant & cordial as it can be with the best of the pals one can be gifted with:). U c its just a matter of Time, it takes time for everything to set in a perfect way, the way u want it....Time changes everything, it has a ultimate power to alter ur mind,ur attitude, ur surroundings & the way u percieve things.

Kgp Earnings , Last Day!!

2005-06-24T10:16:00.000-07:00

Now its the real time of fun that starts up, for me......leaving for my cousin's place to Howrah tommorow right in the morning..and then straightaway to my home the very next day :-)

Since this is my last day here(probably, unless the prof. shows some spcl. affection for us;-)...and ask us to stay back for some time more).I wud like to write abt some of my all time pals in kgp, who made this intern a memorable one and enjoyable ofcourse.

1.Shubhra, as always on my side for everything..was already too closeto her, but it was the first time I hv been wid her somewhere outside vns...really, nice experience working with her.

2.Anki, got a chance to b really close to her.....and share her feelings which she seldom likes to reveal to others.....and believe me, the girl is too inspiring....

3.Ashutosh,someone who really cracks quality pj's(far above my level;-)..)and to b very true, these summers wud have been too boring for all 3 of us without his company.

4.Subin, although he is my batchmate, I talked him first time after coming here..a person too straightforwarded...will hardly lend u his ears for ur grp gossips..most of the times he remains aloof of whats going on,he always prefers to have a fanta and get lost in his own fantasies.

5.Mayank, a guy whom i saw really "loaded" these summers.......cudn't remember anything specific abt him to mention here, except for onething i discovered that he loves to have "dals" as essential of partof his meals.

6.Well last but not the least, some new friends of IIT Kgp.....ppl really worth remembering and admiring..afterall, friends r the most valuable assets one earns in his/her life.But something new this time,got in conversation with them in a very odd fashion(and funny as well)..and infact, after a long time after it shud have ideally commenced........this may b cos IITians think too much over the remotest of the matter...(well, not their fault..:-)."ab bhagwaan ke diye hue dimaag ka kahin to use karna hi padega naa"......jst kidding!!).and they love to give clarifications and expect the same from others as well (no offence intended)..........and yes, some of them r really crazy to try out anything adventurous...be it facing ghosts or climbing on the pole for that matter and on the otherhand, some of them r more like innocent and fearful kids ;-)..... "Perfect Researchers" with sites like "orkut.com" as their favourite time pass on contrary to the"google.com" for the usual and traditional researchers:-)..........will, go in depths of each line u mutter,and won't spare u unless u r ready wid a full proof clarification.....and on top of that they never fail to say "I have a short term memory"...when they don't get anything to rescue them ifthey get stuck in midst of a conversation with we "witty ones":-)......all in all,really amiable ppl. to provide u with a gr8 company.

One thing that i wud like to add is that it is here itself I started blogging,gave words to my thoughts for the 1st time(wrote my first poem.....second one is still in process ;-)....)....doesn't matter whatever I mentioned in my last blogs abt this place...there is ofcourse something unique abt this place i will b missing..... So far now we all have nice memories to keep abt this place...some of those to be cherished forever .

Out of the Schedule

2005-06-14T21:42:00.000-07:00

Well this weekend was a great one indeed!!probably b'cos (for a change) it was not in the AC Labs of IIT Kgp CS Dept but in the scorching heat of Calcutta...;-).....
Left our hostel right in the morning , we were around 6 ppl..all from my college IT BHU.
Caught the local train to Howrah at abt 8:30,(I must admit that the local train service is really good!!and I m highly in the favour that such a service shud soon b started b/w Kanpur & Lucknow)...anyways,thats not my "load".. hehehe, this is IIT Kgp local lingo amongst those most common "pain" &"peace" stuff.
Got down at Howrah station at abt 11:15, went to one of my classmates home......had some snacks & keeping in mind the limited time span in our hands to explore the whole Cal, soon left his place for the City Centre not too far away.Well nothing too great abt that Mall, its just the same as those usual ones....cud manage for very little shopping, and then watched the movie 'Bunty And Bubbly" in the multiplex...the movie was far less than my expectations & majority of us were regretting to ruin the whole day inside the Hall.
Anyways, it was my 4th trip to Calcutta so it didn't matter much to me, but it was not the case with all of us.But we knew that whole city was not at all one day cake, so it was fine...
Somehow managed abt 20 mins exploring of Science City, but that too in vain cos more that half of it was already closed.
And then landed the train after dinner at abt 9:30 at night.One of my classmate stayed back at
his cousins place there so we were now 5 in no.All of us were dead tired, but then we again didn't fail to be a source of entertainment for the crowd around us.Unlike usual times , when we were scolded for making noise in the late night journeys when we r in group, this time ppl seemed to enjoy our company, may b cos this time it wasn't the sleeper coach but a general one:-).....so the poor ppl were left with no other option than to bear us. We decided to play the rapid-fire Antaakshari( the place seemed to b too crowded to play Dumb-charades),
and to tell truth it was one of the most enjoyable duration than the rest of the hectic day, Sometimes we were singing the songs, that were highly unheard of...that was all fun !!.Subin , a guy in my team seemed to b highly lazy to sing a song...but not too lately, he also joined in with full vigour & didn't fail to rescue the team at times when we were really stuck.When we were left wid no more songs, we decided to shift on to simple Antaakshari involving movie names.
Back to the lab now , I think its really high time that I shud get serious abt my work and leave for my home as soon as possible.So will be blogging sometime later now, if I manage to get ample leisure time....till then Wish me luck for my work for which I m here.

Incessant Wonders , Go On & On !

2005-06-09T04:33:00.000-07:00

Thou art His wonderful Creation
Gifted by boundless Imagination
Always obsessed with the notion
Transform this world into better location
Always ready to encounter any situation
No matter what obstruction
You always maintained perfection
Nothing could curtail your motivation
Be it the rest time or vacation
Nothing could distract your attention
Be this alluring world into motion
Or the constant ups & downs of emotion
You have always aborted any deviation
That ever hindered your progression
Infinity has been your destination

These few lines are composed by me in praise of Mankind.U all shud
know that I m no poet,but this creation of mine might b the
consequence of the gr8 company of poets(rather poetesses)I m being
able to relish these days.

No doubts human Wisdom is something marvellous we all r gifted with.
In this respect let me acquaint u all with something intersting I came
across very recently, one more gr8 resolution has been undertaken by
intellectuals that can prove to b another landmark in the history of
mankind.

IBM decides to simulate Human Brain

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
IBM with a team of Swiss scientists to create the world's first
accurate, computer-based model of the brain, IBM's Blue Brain project
is a two-year venture for scientists from Big Blue and the Ecole
Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne to create a detailed model of the
human brain.
This effort represents the greatest investigation yet into how the
human brain works, achieved by creating a detailed model of the
neocortex using the Blue Gene supercomputer.
The model, which aims to investigate concepts such as thought, memory
and perception, should help researchers to find ways to combat
emotional disorders such as depression and autism, among others.

.

Relatively little is actually known about how the brain works.Using
the digital model
scientists will run computer-based simulations of the brain at the
molecular level, shedding light on internal processes such asthought,
perception and memory. Scientists also hope to understand more about
how and why certain microcircuits in the brain malfunction -- thought
to be the cause of psychiatric disorders such as autism, schizophrenia
and depression.

Astounding, isn't it?? I think that day is not far when brains wud b
sold in the market:)

For those who don't know,I m presently in IIT Kgp for a summer project in the CS Dept.With the horrible experience (wid apologies to IIT Kgp frns)at this place in the past few weeks, this week was not that bad........watched a 2 months older movie "Waqt" at the Audi here wid in the campus...n then njoyed the relishing dinner sponsored by one of my batchmate as his Birthday Treat..The movie was a "pakaaoo" one..but then it takes no spcl. efforts for us to make the most senti. movie a comedy..to fir "Yeh to kuch to nahin thi"..(refer Boman Irani's dialogue in the movie)..
Leaving aside all that let me discuss some interesting things out here .Today being a Sunday (jst one more day of the week..nothing spcl here as all labs are open till late at night even on sunday n ppl working ..even I m in the lab presently ..but u all know that what I m doing)....we went for the 2nd trip to the "TECH. MARKET " widin the campus...the market of the technical Institute so the word "tech" has to b there....the most peculiar thing I found abt the market was all shops had a prefix "tech" against their name ..and u will have jst one shop for one category of items....a series of shops as S-1, S-2...and so on.....arnd 20-30 shops in total ..better to say a sort of "mela" in the gaon..(jst giving my view point n wid no hard feelings against anyone..n all regards to the IIT Kgp ppl).
Well till now everything is going jst fine except for the imp. work for which we r here, I have started enjoying my company and my schedule out here.

These days even weather has improved..so some sort of outing can planned soon.We all planned for a weekend to Cal. but cudn't finally make it this time for some reasons....well nevermind, we r already planning for the nextweekend...So wait & Check out regularly for the lively updates by me.

So how I actually turned Up ?

Well friends, I m finally attacked by this phoebia of
Blogging..but lets c how long does it remain over
me...but what actually forced me into this "virtual
world" is my deadly(not actually) experience over here
presently..
When ppl like me have to sit whole day on net,without
the messenger service available :-(....this blogging has
come to rescue me out of the decoding/encoding
stuff..cos that can't b the whole day schedule
(atleast for me)......Although at times sites like
orkut.com did help me to exempt from that boring stuff
but I found this work more interesting and not at all
futile...So here I am into this world of
Blogging..with my heartful thanks to the developers of
this Blogger in my first blog..
Very soon I will b posting more abt the life at my
end..So keep checking it out!!
