Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Lukkha, Vella
(n)
It means a person with loads of time in hand and nothing to do.
At one time during my graduation, the thesis confusion would so engross me that I was almost literally lukkha. This is the result of being lukkha: Prerna
Before this long time back about 5 years back, two girls thought I was lukkha. One got a pat reply that could fail her conscience in judging people the rest of the life, the other ... well shes soon going to be spending the rest of her life with me :)
In short, Beware of Lukkhas. They sometimes stick to u for ever.

aha
So I had not posted for a long time. Dunno Why.
Just didnt get the time to blog, didnt feel like writing anything, so on and so on.
Of late I got a speeding ticket, my first, stupid pandu gave me 2 points :((.
Also saw Munnabhai lageraho. its a nice flick. worth a watch. mebbe 2. Arshad Warsi is hilarious. Bhai radio pe shirt thodi dikhaayi degi.
So far on an intellectual level nothing. nada... oh yea ....learning spanish.
Been learning spanish as thats the only language of the people at work. So I get to know their language and try to use it on my own. Pratish my colleague has decided to learn spanish too. He believes he already knows spanish. heres him saying "did you understand?" in spanish "understandO?". a simple O behind every word makes it spanish instantly according to him.
I need a haricut. a coffee. some breakfast. and a nice good morning hug n kiss. unfortunately my roommate can drive me to barbers, make a coffee and a breakfast. but he doesnt qualify for the hug n kiss.

ramblings of an idiot
Posting after a long hiatus.
Not that I had really gone anywhere. Just didnt have the time. then didnt have the internet. and now again dont have the time.
Well actually have loads of time. in the evening that is. Am in a southern suburb of Atlanta or as they call it A-town. Weathers ok not really great. place is ok. but i do something exciting every day. I work :).
yeah well wats in new that? a lot of people have been working. Mankind has been working for ages. But for a fresh graduate who was out searching a job for 3 months, to get the opportunity to work is a great thing. So I aint gonna give up on that. I enjoy that.
its Kinda funny that when I was really desparate I wasnt getting any close to it. When I almost gave up saying I aint gonna get what I wanna do and so was about to take up something really not my types, I got this offer, And I took it, Jumped on it, dived into it. And then suddenly some other place I had tried decides to offer me and then another :) its nice to know things work but its the timing thats important.
To those out there who still say have it tough I wish you all the best for your dreams.

Hail ye...
If I was crying
in the van, with my friend
it was for freedom
from myself and from the land
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
---Sufjan Stevens in the song "Chicago"
Promising artist I may say. Or may be like toploader with the one hit song.
I have a statistics counter to see how people end up at my site. Russell Peter gets the highest visitors to my site. May be it was because I had his spelling wrong. But whatever... the guys gonna hurt somebody soon ;)

The Butterfly effect:
The fluttering of a butterfly may cause imbalance in the air that may lead to a tornado.
The Butterfly effect:
Life is a roller coaster ride
A butterfly dancing in the air
coloful wings and green backdrop
a very beautiful sight
Life is a roller coaster ride
A tornado in the air
the sadness and despair
a very sad sight
LIfe is a roller coaster ride
The sad and grieved
think of the butterfly wings
move on with a smile

Super Sleuth Part Deux: Indians Invented Bling Bling
Our super sleuth is back again. This time he met with a man, a superstylin pimpin desi who is just fed up with our other colored brothas for flicking things. Our sleuth discovered something that may shake the entire fashiondom from detroit to atlanta and miami to california.
Thats right fellow desis. We have just discovered that Indians invented the fashion thats now taking the world over as gangsta style. And we have an interview with the man who claims the credit should actually go to him for inventing Bling Bling.
None other than our own.... Ba ba ba Bappppppppiiiiiiii Lahiriiiiiiii.
Yes. Our very own stylish personality from desh. The pimpin hero of the sindhis. The wadhiya wadhiya President of the USA of the east ... Ulhasnagar Sindhi Association.
Here we now speak to Bappi Lahiri ji. or as he fondly wants to be called as Bee-ji.
Us: So Bee-ji would you like to explain in detail your claim about gangsta style?
Bee-ji: Oy wadi saayin. When Iyin went to dubayin Iyin wanted to buyin Gold. Gold and more Gold. Aur wadi customs always interfered. So Iyin started myin own style. Iyin wore all my gold.
Us: But then why did you keep wearin all the jewels???
Bee-ji: Oy wadi saayin, aur karta bhi kya? Customs ne kaha itna kyu pehna? Meine kehdiyaan dhis is my style. So customs ne dhamki diyaan. Said we will keep an eyein on you.
Us: Oh now we see.
Bee-ji: he he.. wadi jabh Iyin go to dubai Iyin used to wear 3 chains and 2 bracelets less and when Iyin came back I would buyin more and bring it in. Iyin did more dhanda doing this than singing.
Us: Thats nice Bappi da, oh sorry, Bee-ji. Which brings us to our next question. Now that you have proved your credentials Behind gangsta style and bling bling what are your plans?
Bee-ji: Oy wadi saayin.. What can Iyin do? Those guys. They beat me at my own game. First they stole my nice nice song Kaliyon ka Chaman. Now myin style And they say its artistic inspiration. But Iyin tell you Iyin invented Bling Bling. hey that can be a new song eh? Blingggg Bling pehnooo.... Blingggg Bling pehnooo ... Bling Bling
Us: uh huh .. Thats nice sir ji. Which brings us to the next question why do you like to be called Bee-ji? Is it also any artistical inspiration or a subliminal message?
Bee-ji: Oyy wadi saayin what are talkin? Bee-ji is myin original style. Myin name is Bappi Lahiri... people used to calle me Bappi Lahiri Ji. That was too heavy you know. So Iyin shortened myin name to Bee for bappi Bee-ji. Gaatit?
Us: Oh yeah ... yeah .. Duh us. Anyways Thanks a lot sir, for being brave and willing to fight against these people who stole your style and call it inspirational. Bling - Bling gangsta style is truly yours.
Bee-ji: Thank you Saayin. Wadi You want pappad?

Out of his cap.
He’s finally out of his cap fellows!!
Yes we got a special feature for all of you
Himesh Reshammiya is none other than the qawalli star of the 90's Altaf Raja
You heard it right. Himesh is Altaf. Altaf is Himesh. Reshammiya is Raja and Raja is Reshammiya.
This scoop of the century, bigger than the "da vinci code" being the truth, was found out by our correspondent when he cornered Himesh at a party where he was abusing the elite for abusing the rickshawallahs of
On further probing and questioning and a truth serum administering Himesh broke down and confessed that he is Altaf Raja.
We bring to you an interview with the self confessed Himesh Altaf Reshammiya Raja. or HARR as we shall further refer to him as
Us: So HARR can you please tell us why , how and when did this happen????
HARR: I was angry that my music was only appreciated by the rickshawallahs of
Us: hmm So we can understand you have achieved all that you wanted but how World Peace?
HARR: Youuuu seee my crooooning has got all the leaders of the world united against meeeee.
Us: Oh right. Now can you tell us some more about the killing of the AR persona and the emergence of HR.
HARR: Yes Yes. See I went underground (not to the bhais … even they are after me now) But I went underground. Stayed off publicity, cropped a beard, donned a cap and then came back as HR in 3-4 years.
Us: So which one do you prefer being HR AR??
HARR: ooooohhh my singing and talent comes from AR and my publicity comes from HR… you see my astrologer he asked me to have two mms..
Us: you mean the candy?
HARR: No No … Two mms in my name. like namme. I also decided to use this strategy in all of my life … I now have a maruuuutiiiiiii and I also tried renaming the program as saaaa reee gaaaa maaa paaaaaa
Us: well thanks for giving us the inside scoop about AR. We always had our doubts but now you have confirmed it. Thanks once again
HARR: yoooooooooouuuuuuuu arrrrrrrrrrree welcommmmmmme

Listening to "tu hi meri shab hai" gangster.
Last week as I defended my laptop gave up on me at the very same time i finished my defense. So there I was. Had nothing to do and my pc had crashed on me. Nothing to do.
That just gave me time to catch up on some reading. Finished Dan browns digital fortress and angels and demons. Had been wanting to read something since a long time. My wish was so perfectly granted. It rained here for 4 days consecutively. :)
yes yes we had some milk in the fridge to make all the coffees I drank while reading the books by the window. the rain hitting on the window... hitting? oh yeah .. it was so cold the rain was more like ice :) .. double yay ... it started snowing finally last night. Perfect atmosphere. me in my comforter with these books and the coffee and the rain. Now that this week and the slumber is over.... a new task dawns upon me. a new challenge. getting a job.
Hopefully I should be able to get over that one too.
back to the movies now....
Detroit plans on hold till I get my pc back. which is tentatively today :)
long day getting over i guess :) long year just got over. whats in a day.

Arrgghhhhhh Word!!!
I know I should have been using Latex but I didnt really have the time to do so neither did my advisor much fancy it ...
Then I thought what the heck if word screws up on me I can use openoffice but naaah ... openoffice is still not the preferred one by my advisor. So here I am instead of punching out the 3rd draft trying to figure out what the heck is the deal with word and these self setting fonts.
Damn Im just forced to use one pc now and there as well Word just changes the font on its own bloddy whim. Somebody tell Bill Gates, that softwares a messed up peice of sh*t.

There was once a time...
When the smiles were real
Tears could moisten lotusses
There was once a time...
When the sunset wont stop the ship
Crescents were bright enough
Life sets and brings light
to the real and the dark
And the full moon
brings out the beast.

Happy Birthday Dada
Its my Big Bro's Birthday today !!! yay he turns a whole 30 now !!! feel like showing him the friends episode where everyone turns 30......
Sent him a mail yesterday. He called up today. Bechara ussikey Birthday pe this is the 4th or 5th time that he has to call up to get his wishes. And the last few years have been even messier for him. Now he calls up Ma n Bhabhi in India and then he has to call me up here and then he has to call up Bhabhis parents and stuff. Why you ask? well its not like we bunch dont believe in calling people, its just that he happens to be on some ship every this time of the year. Yup tats my bro, sailing his life having fun, missing his family and celebrating his birthdays in oceans with some philipinos.
So he called me today n i cudnt get the first call as I was in the .. yup u guessed it right. Next he calls up and we speak for some time. Yeda that he is... he misses the stupid pens that i gave him on his buddays and the greeting cards that i got for him. Been a real long time since Ive sent him a greeting card. Been a real long time that I've really got to be like I was back home.
Some trivia about my bro.
As seen by the world: Silent, mature, serious, cool, happening (with most of my cousins), trusted by all, Cute, sometimes even hot (a lot of gals used to say this .. god knows where they came from), everyones favorite, hardworking, studious, very tolerant (handles me for life), always being disturbed by me while studying, always being troubled by me, poor soul.
As seen by me: evil, conniving shaana who put up that mask so the world could hate me, not even one bit of what the world thinks of him when its just him and me, always the first one to hit me when alone, always the first one to start up a fight yet convince the world that I started it, got high temper that mysteriously disappears when in front of the world, pure sheer devil at work when with me, and not one bit hot or cute, but yeah tolerates me and loves me.
So here you go dada..... Happy Birthday Dude....

U2 -- Walk On
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring...
And love is not the easy thing...
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight...
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Home...hard to know what it is if you never had one
Home...I can't say where it is but I know I'm going home
That's where the heart is
I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme...
*dedicated to you. Im gonna miss you this one month real badly. Have your vaction fast n come back.

Origami
this is what we generally think of origami...beautiful paper ..
beautiful folds ...
cool result ....
but I just found out a new meaning to the word something thats gonna change the meaning of the word for a long time to come.
Microsoft Origami .. a new project a PDA, tablet pc, mp3 player .. all in one .. the video .. found here has a real cool sound to it and the ad's like a small story told which meets a completeness in the end. Nice theme, Nice Video, Nice sound...
Im tempted to buy the product .. but its too bulky for an mp3 player .. i definitely cant take it with me for a jog...but for a tablet pc if ever i need to purchase one of those i think this looks promising ...
tomorrows the day the product gets unveiled... keen on hoping its not that big :D....

A dream no rather dreams
When I was in India I had a plan ... I had even charted it out....
I wanted to explore the vastness of my country, yes.
To visit and the various regions of my country to explore every possible terrain that is this motherland of me and a million others. I wanted to touch the hearts of those millions, wanted to see how they smile with what they have, wanted to see how they brave the tears and wanted to see how they struggle. I didnt want to stay in a hotel. My plan consisted of hanging out at the stations! You see I had this timetable of the long distance trains in India. Just as a game I would visualise myself on a ride on the konkan express, or the kanyakumari express, the rajdhani or the eastern express. I even charted out an itinerary consisting of which stations to visit which trains to catch from the stations and where next to head towards. My plan involved going down south, then travelling as east as Calcutta( it was so then) and ride the trains via patna to Delhi, from Delhi ride back through Rajasthan and baroda to Bombay.
I used to watch a lot of this series called Amazing Race, its this series that got me wanting to travel my country, learn more about what I have in this country that I can so easily take for granted. I wanted to capture the essence of my motherland in my mind so I can never forget the feeling. I wanted to capture the various sunrises and sunsetsm the dawns and the morning dew in different languages and different meanings, with each having a story of a king, a pauper or a legendary reformer behind it. I wanted to capture it in all its soul in my mind my heart and a camera.
Unfortunately I didnt have the money first, then I didnt get the time, and now Im not in my country. But its a self contention based promissary mental note to myself that I will for one do this.
The thought of money even put me to thinking of coming up with a
How I wish I had taken it seriously with my friends.
Oh why you ask the sudden nostalgia? I happened to come across the blog of Indiauncut and the author's recent visit to Pakistan to follow up and report on the Indian Cricket team. The blog is really stirring and is really What I had dreamt of, like travelling to places and getting in touch with people. He even gets to go the all mighty Khyber Pass. It's really great. His blog and the pictures he has taken and also his style.
On a second note, as to the reason for this nostalgia. Two movies and a song. The first one is the current rave of the youth of India and is an amazing movie with a very interesting theme. The other is/was a rave of the people of India who arent anymore in India and are contemplating going back, this movie though a bit cheesy with a romance line that actually ends with a filmy happy ending was my favorite flick, and my family's most superflous waste of money flick of the year, no prize to guess why (they are in India and I am away). The song by the way is this, a recompilation of an Rabindranath Tagore by AR Rahman with collaboration of many classical artists from India, also known as the national anthem of the Republic of India, its a song that overwhelmed me as I played it yesterday.
Currently listening to Jiya Dhadhak Dhadhak by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan... wandering in my mind through the unknown streets of Des wishing I was Bono.
As I sleep a country awakens....( its just a thought .. no revolutionary speech this)

The thought of money even put me to thinking of coming up with a
unique series of my own.I visualized a singing contest based on the theme of nationality and peace between India and Pakistan. A train trip contest wherein groups, bands and music artists of regions and areas that I would visit would perform their songs and their music on the base of this theme, with every region having its own winner who will later on come on a national front. The theme would be extended to pakistan and the overall contest winner would be be able to perform at a national day for a peace concert. This theme contest of mine got partially fulfilled, not even remotely closely by me or any of my relatives, but by the people at channel [V] in the form of other programmes such as Popstars, V- Independence Rail, etc.

Saw rdb... only one thing on my mind
0900 78601 telefun telefun.....
to all those who are like me away from civilization but yet with a 10 mbps line, you will surely understand what that is.
to the others... yeah well this is an inside joke and you will not get it .. but heres a hint .. all-out macchar eating japanese in all of the shemaroos.
PS. oh yeah .. movie is really odd... maybe its the quality of the flick i saw ... i barely could make out the character names .. forget the dialogues .. but thats what you get to enjoy 10 - 15 feet of snow so far. I liked the song roobaroo a lot but the placement in the movie made me give a thought to the lyrics... i just wished they couldve picturized it a bit better. rest all nice nice ... the shift from the flick to the flick in flick and back to the original flick was used so extensively that it turned out to be too trippy ... aah shizzled the izzle of maah eyes

thoughts
Im implementing a geometric constraint satisfaction algorithm .....
when I came across a simple text that said .... constraints exist in our every day life ... and that we dont need a large computation to decide whether we want to splurge on a ski vacation or eat a triple layered chocolate cake ... can you believe that!!!! .... the brain .... decides ... it freaking solves all the constraints .. the cells work it out for us .. heck even when im writing this .. some freaking cell is asking my fingers to type ... this out ... geez .... amazing algorithm .. most efficient one .. and the most accurate constraint solving system ...
..... on a lighter note ......
saw phoebe freak out ross's belief's in evolution and his liking for work just cos he nagged her a lot about evolution ... really trippy the way she works on him ...

Sania Mirza
She lost her second round match to the sister of Richard Krajicek , a young player called Michella Krajicek...
I like her, for the sport, for the things shes done in the name of Indian Tennis, I believe because of her at least 100 Indian girls mustve taken up the sport seriously. Good thing girl. Its inspiration like yours that binds the hopes of a hazar others.In fact apart from Akio Nakamura, shes the only other Asian girl in womens tennis, n Akio is ranked below her. So that makes her the best Asian female tennis player. Thats nice ...
Although we all would have loved to have her sailing through the rounds at Australian Open, I think its nice to be defeated once early in the season ... cos then the comeback is a fierce one. So heres to hoping that youd crack it hard at the french n the wimbledon n american...n the australian next year....The press at AO were real nice to her this time around, the reviews for her and the hopes that the international press have from her is a real relief n better hope than the "rave reviews" that the indian press keeps on coming out with.
And to all the pervs ... go fyf something from hippys blog ....

khalbali
Rahman coming up with good numbers again ...
khalbali is cool passionate n powerful ..... the arabic tunes makes me wonder though
Pathshala is damn kiddish but is awesome to listen to....this one very vividly a sound from boys.
Rang De basanti is the punju types..
bollywood of late has been totally influenced by the brit punjus n the paki poprock scene... its good as a lot of the stereotypical "bollywood song listeners" are getting exposed to a different sound and as a matter of fact because these songs are lipsynched by our lukkhas like that eemran hashme fella or even abhishek b n aamir makes em appreciate the variance from the mainstream.... good for bollymusic.... up your **s bappi!!!!
i guess for the first time rahman has a mix n match album .. mixing the traditional sounds like that of songs of the calibre of lagaan or swades with those of the type of boys n yuva
thats kinda sad for me as now i cant tell the story of the movie without actually watchin it ...
well..... paint it yellow ...

*Listening to Strings - Zinda Hoon*
Im seriously thinking of creating my own podcast ... its something that I always wanted ....
On some really beautiful weekend when Im done with my thesis.. I will be publishing my podcast....right now all i can add is just a couple of posts in between .....
*recent event
me passing everyone on my way to home at a speed of 75 on a limit of 55
I zero on on my next target... a lil black dot in the horizon...
so the speed ramps up 55 60 65 70 75 .. the dot becomes more like a car
suddenly the car brakes ...I see its red lights .. sensing something goofy I slow down... 58..
the car pulls over on the curb ..
and in between the red brake lights of a dark blue car I see the white words "state police"
next 20 mins the brute chevy beretta with no radar detection is forced to be driven like a mouse with a blue escort ...phew !!!
the cop was nice enough not to pull me over .. I guess christmas is still being celebrated somewhere....

When I come back like Jordan wearing the 45......
Ever had to go through your thoughts?
some thing so intense, even you dont know
whats going on in there, is it just a dilemma,
or a question, questioning yourself
A cry, a wail, a whimper that makes you scream
all you want is your brain to go numb
to think that you dont ever want to think
these games they play with you
Caught in a fog, a war on both sides,
you are just a spectator,
your white's just plain useless
Its their war, what makes you stand in it?
Their wars, their claims, their bullets,
blowing you to smithereens,
and yet your feet deep in the muck.
while the thoughts keep shooting out.

Went searching for the bible quote
Vincent: And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese?
Vincent: No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the fcuk a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: Then what do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a Royale with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it le Big-Mac.
Jules: Le Big-Mac. Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King.
*Quote from the classic "Pulp Fiction"

the task begins
the focus of my life for the next two months will revolve around two things.
my project and its report.
thought the snow will help me want to move out of here quickly. instead its holding me back .. making me want to do things like snowboarding.
the next day of my defense i plan to enjoy completely on the slopes of mount ripley having fun snowboarding.

Damn you Hitchcock!!!
So Im working and decide to listen to some music. iTunes got me sharing music from others on the school net. Saw some fabulous collections of classical music.
Next you know Im listening to symphony 9 in B minor .....
Now oblivious to the music I start working .... and suddenly I feel scared so i look up and theres nothing. A few minutes down the line I get the same feeling again I look up .. to find no one as expected.
Thats when I realized I have watched a bit too murder mysteries and horror movies with classical songs for the climax !!!
I was actually getting that feeling from the music ...
Do I blame the music? or the director for his choice of music for the scene ????
Anyways I just wont be able to appreciate the intensity of the 4th chord in the 6th symphony in C sharp.

A dirty PT cruiser and French Vanilla
So I finally got to drive in the snow .... yay .. and whoaaaa ... last year greenville never had snow n the year before i didnt have money to drive a car :P
Passing is a strict risk you need to take only when u get bored of wiping all the snow off ur screen..
The french vanilla was warm throughout the drive and even refilled at a couple of stations ..... 5 hours in the UP where the speeds max only to 55 :( ... but luckily no cops .. so .. :D
Had a weekend with family downstate ... had some fun and some rest .. back to work now. :)
Wish I was at State ... could have supported the spartans without the guilt of having a stupid team.... but hey ... on the bright side ... they lost !!! :P hehehe
*wondering wat huskies are good at* ... hmmm .... losing home games :D

Its like getting hot!
So this weeks physics lab invovled getting the students on a platform that rotated.
As the students brought their initially stretched out arms closer to themselves their speed of rotation increased. Nice fun lab.
Even I enjoyed this trippy spin during lab reviews.
Enter IC... a student (18)... who finished his lab 25 mins in hand...
"eh? do you mind if i have an extra spin at it?"...
me:"sure go on !!"
IC:trips on a spin .. LAO ... and then .. "Dude this is like getting hot!!"
me:ROTFLLAO !!
IC:"not that i know of it !!"
me:still ROTFL....
So... Conclusion of lab. Physics is like getting hot.

Memento
Saw this movie this week ... Wasnt aware of such a masterpeice.....
Leonard thinking while he is running in a parking lot
"Ok! So where am I running ?"
Leonard sees this guy in black running as well. and thinks
"Ah ! Im chasing that guy!"
Leonard runs towards Dodd the guy, Dodd shoots at Leonard
"Oh right ! Hes the one whos chasing me!"
* Leonard suffers from short term memory from a certain point in his life ... he has memories before this point but he cant hold onto anything thats been happening since then.

Chirkut
I got dragged into this thing called orkut by a friend of mine, a very good friend of mine...its like an obsolete version of facebook, for those who live in the latest technology.
and for those like me who got dragged into this ... its a website where a person creates his ID and gets in touch with his pals through their IDs, kinda like IMs on website .. and u can jump from your home to others and send scraps and stuff..
Its really nice .. you like it till u get in touch with all the people in the world... You see even the theory of "Six degrees of separation" really works in this orkut thing.... i got lots of friend's friends who are friends of some other friends of some other friend of mine ... so in all we look at each other on this site and yay to each other ....
I even realised I could be a friends friends friends friend who might be the relative of mahatma gandhis sons wife's sister's brother in law... and i yay again...
At greenville in the evenings we would use orkut to while away time and anyone found on orkut would be termed chirkut .. as in the movies .. the bollywood ones... where the smartass roadie hero would come and "wassup" the sidekick by saying "aye chirkut kya dekhrela hai"
Today I took orkut really seriously and turned my ID into Veejay Dinanath Chauhan! Haayin!
Yay ! Chirkut !

Elevator Raves
My school recently had a bunch of students so bored that they plugged in their laptops and a storbe light in the elevators during non office hours and kept on dancing all the night, as the elevator rode up and down bringing helping grad students reach their labs and offices to and fro.
They called it Elevator Raves or summat like that.
They had an argument to it too....
It saves energy as they arent at their individual rooms consuming their own power
It brightens the moods of stressed out grad students
Its a cool place where the cops wont show up to keep it low.
If only I had time like that.... I would have definitely gone to the gym daily....

I have a Wallpaper in my Window
I know I know everyone has .... but everyone has a wallpaper in windows Here Im talking bout my window.
The bright orangish yellowish 5 pointed leaves that look into my face while I type this really make it worth staying up here in houghton,MI. Some may say whats so special bout the fall in Houghton? or Houghton? well for one.. I experienced my First Fall in Houghton.
My complete 5ft by 7ft glass window is covered by a tree thats brighter than govindas brightest shirt. And it even lets me look beyond to the other trees that are a mix of green yellow orange and red.
I remember a girl had once enquired about my university as she wanted to enroll here. She never even applied to this univ after my reply started like this: " If you ever want to create your own wallpapers for your desktop, pack your camera and apply to this university..."
This is Houghton. This is where it all begin at for me.......

May they get the strength to fight these tears.I didnt want to post anything regarding this, but couldnt resist feeling for these two and many of their like who are suffering from something that cant be controlled. Hopefully at least the governments would not intensify their sufferings any more and learn to live in peace.

Linux
My Mathlabs have linux machines installed in it. I dont know if they tweaked it a lot to get what it is right now. it just looks like a marriage between a SunOS and a MacOS. But I am really enjoying this. Feels a whole lot better than the usual xp.
Also am just in love with firefox. the tools Themes, tools Extensions are way too cool.
hehe got the itunes theme for my firefox right now and also got meself the pdf extension.
although im not quite sure if i had to install linux on my pc if i could use all the peripherals on my pc like the BT, or wireless out of box options or even the quickplay for that matter.
and of course the religious every morning visit to the ipods site just wants to make me buy one ..... have to look at the pros and cons...
next post pros cons of the ipod.

Flightplan
So I jsut read this news bout the flight attendants union worldwide creating a furor about a movie that puts them in bad light.....
heck... wats the big deal people???
they state: " we've suffered enough though 9/11 and dont want to be at the recieving end of customer spite in flight"
heres my take on it :
ever wondered bout the 1000's of muslims and followers of islam whove been at the recieving end?
ever heard about the police and FBI union complaining about them being at that end?
Ever heard the president of America complain something like that????
or maybe army?
or maybe lawyers?
or maybe computer programmers?
what makes u guys so special ?????
oh heck .. if anyones ever travelled northwest .. you might want to make a movie on how northwest is ripping you off in the biggest scam of the world .. charge exorbitantly for the tickets .... specially in regions where it has monopoly .. provide no service at all .. pretty soon I can even imagine the ol hag of a hostess coming and saying .. how bout sharing your pretzels with your neighbour?.... and all that .. and at the end the company files for bankruptcy .. haha you must be joking me ...

One - U2
I have wronged a many times ...
I have hurt you often times
The unseen tears have touched my skin
The muffled snif is heard again
Apologies n excuses ..
have always been on my side ..
and now i just hate my side
and the cry thats behind your smile
How can I promise a pleasant future
when the past and today is mired
I seek to correct it .. and i harm it ..
one love...one life .. and we get to share it..
i need to make this work out
I hate to ask for it ... and yet i need to
for ur smile .. and tears of joy ..
are all i ever want of you!

Of face implants and Bollywood
Just read this and was thinking ... whaaa ... India is always a step ahead ... and hey the Indians dont even mind much to the ethical implications of the whole scenario !!!
Rishi Kapoor, Poonam Dhillon .. Yeh wada Raha
Chunkey Pandey, Govinda and Shakti Kapoor ... Aaankhen
Kkusum .. changing faces 3 times !!!
and a lot of other serials .... stating
"From this episode onwards the character of Whatchamacallhim played by thepriceyolbitch will be replaced by thenewcheapstar Viewers please note"
We rock !!!
On a serious note ... heck .. real spooky .....face recognition really means a lot to mankind .... imagine having a face implant and facing the family of the deceased.... that sucks.

Russel Peter and the Mandarin experiment
A couple of weeks back I happen to see this stand up canadian of Indian origins do a great stand up comedy about racialism and races. So he thinks a chinese mans name sounds just like a chinese soup, I felt a bit disgusted there and still I laughed off until today.
There I was taking Lab practicals for a bunch of freshmens and they happen to group up as 3 oriental students and this one really unlucky american bloke [ ;) ] named Jug. The poor guy had no idea what the hell was going on in the lab. So he decided to take the lead and start talking to all these guys until he realised they really cant even speak english. The south asian community has a product we as indians will never need. They extensively use a language converter that converts what they want to say into Bookish and most likely ancient English. Now Indians on the other hand know of the Dons dialogue when they get cornerred by any species::::"I can talk english, I can walk English, eenglis is a bery phunny language....."
So back to the lab and these kids are working on the experiment, only the oreintals really dont have a clue what they are doing as its all in English. Jug who on the other hand is a typical american freshman with the "Dude I think this thing can slam off into space like uhh kapowww.. n whack....oops" type of an attitude tries to think his experiment is working out real fine till we tell him he's disastrous. Thats when he sees the birds dancing around his eyes.
So while the orientals wrap up the experiment about constant accelaration with words like slop n placid, Jug sits and tries to figure out the experiment.
At the end its just me him n the other TA.. n I tell him .. well part of it is to get you guys working as a team ... n Jugs reply to it is .. well we were a team .. the three of them n I , the only one who didnt know mandarin. And did you see this other dude who probably chatted with his friends on that computer thing of his ???(*sic converter).

sup
Been waitin to write bout my India trip.
Day 1:
I had to have the the guts of taking a trip where i change for 4 flights in 28 hours, not that I lived in the antartic but still Northwest believes in giving its passenger the most. So all the excitement , joy, emotions, sentiments, feelings anything else that I was supposed to have while touching base after 2 years just happened to be overridden by something of a constipation uneasiness and tired feeling. With just the feeling of getting over with the travel I land up enter immigrations and am the first one to get my bags!! Yippeee!!!
As soon as I walk out I see the faces of a thousand people. I might have to organize like a woodstock sorts festival in houghton to see 1/10th of the crowd that I got to see at the gates. I so loved being back home.
Its this odd feeling of being on the other side, where you come out, n there are people with anxious eyes waiting to meet the loved, missed one. I happen to spot my pal mojo in all the crowd, a yell "Aunty hes out" and Im looking in the direction of the yell and zero on those eyes with pearls. tears of joy and a hug that I just freak out on. My ma. Then follow in all my pals who had been eyein the chicks so far. Get some helping hand n my bags are in the car. Off we go home.
whats the story
morning glory.
its 3 50 in the night and I am wondering to myself.
websites recently searched.
citeseer.com

The Grind
Two months of vacation.. once in a lifetime.
After a grilling first week. Michigan Tech embraces me.
I need to get out of this place as soon as possible, Not that I hate it. It seems to bring back the bad phases in my life. The speparation from family, the agony of watching others being opportunists and the irony of a student wanting to get out but the univ not letting him off.
Sometimes I wonder how lucky the "pandu" at the signal near "teen hath naka" must be. He gets to eat his favorite pan, he gets to be with his family and in dire conditions all he does is blow his whistle.
But as a wise cow once said the grass is always sweeter on the other side.....
Its been a demanding week, But now I can brave up and say Bring it on!!!

Houghton, MI
The past two months have been really a dream. Kind of odd to say that being back at home is now a dream like treat.
But the last two months mean a whole lot to me.
The occassion for which I was rehearsing since the last 4 years, came by, and I didnt have to say anything that I had rehearsed. I guess such issues really dont need a great speech but just trust.
GSP-DTW-MSP-AMS-BOM

my story in the last two months. I hated to guts the last two trips.
Life continues.
Reality brings on a new semester and Im back at Michighan Tech in the great UP.
