Flaunt your middle finger with pride

This would seem weird but they don't have a choice. This time around the election commission is marking your MIDDLE finger with indelible ink as a proof that you have casted your vote. So you may proudly show your middle finger if you have casted your vote,  also don't get enraged if you see your favourite  politician or filmstar  showing around his  middle fingers in news channnels and dailies. Its just the ink, and not their inner feelings!!!!

Orkut turns snake-friendly........

Guess the orkut guys are acting weird these days. They let you shed your skin and let you put on a new one. Orkut seems to be in a mood to expand its base beyond human species and are trying to woo snakes and other reptiles. Great going Orkut. Start feeding ‘em more donuts!!! J

Part 2

07COXX has always been associated with some of the finest individuals existent on earth. We planned on having a branch T-shirt and later thought of going on a trip etc etc. Nothing except the “OFFICIAL comps booze party” capitalised. Thanks to Rohit, many people stood high and tall throughout the semester. He was truly the “Joint” con of comps. Then there were attempts make the “sun” shine brightly in “local” areas, but unfortunately it rained. Moral of the story: Lick the candies while the sun shines. Ps: not wishing someone on his birthday is equivalent to a heavy downpour [:P]  Seriously would miss the GTalk  status message war S1E01 wherein Mr. Sun was belted  from all the ends. The “Yuck-thuu “ Jodi  entertained many back benchers with their highly disgusting antics.  I was fortunate enough to witness it just once, but truly that single experience itself was truly Yuck, thooooooooooooo.  It was also noticeable that Miss Topper has been spoiling our Higher Grade Human this sem. That poor chap speaks nothing but webclub and CompSci these days.  Miss Topper beware, he might be a threat to yourself.. [:P] And ya miss Topper, learn the virtue of C2D , read 5 point someone atleast now. I assure C2D helps maintaining healthy GPA’s. When I asked one friend of urs for help in a PDC test I got  “Get Lost( With a wicked smile on her face)” as an answer to it. I even thought of writing it down as the answer since I didn’t have any better answer on my mind. [:D] “Birla ke darshan” to the class got rarer than before, many people actually forgot his face. What was surprising was Yashil frequenting the class more often that before. Guess he lost his umbrella and got overexposed to the sun shine.  Really funny things happened in the corridors of the MB.  Someone called someone something  in the corridor and unfortunately that the 2^nd someone heard it. Lets see if its outcome gets reflected in the 1^st someones CGPA or not. :D Then there was yet another someone who chased the true love of his life all the way from the corridor right upto the postoffice and came all the way back without saying anything to her. What a waste of energy i must say. Neways finally at a later occasion that someone mustered enough guts to dedicate a rose to her in the SJA. Hope she remembers! And ya Mr. Someone, do check out Mayank’s curriculum booklet and ask him about the rose-like object being preserved in it.. :D  Comps is slowly turning AoE crazy and can proudly boast of quality players like SpiderReddy and Riders. Cs and DoTA also turned many ppl on. For someone like Parjun life is made up of just 2 things: DotA and sleep. Also, ppl  beware, there is a contagious disease being spread in our class which goes by the name “ASS”( Arjun Singh Syndrome). Its symptoms include cracking the cheapest jokes one can ever imagine, pilaofying any person in vicinity of u and periodically asking doubts in the class. A possible cure to this symdrome is to get drunk, go to his room and pilaofy him as much as possible. pS: this cure is tried and tested, but unfortunately it had a negative effect . However research is still on to cure this syndrome. Also a special word of thanks to Ewin for the doubts  asked during the MPI project demo seminar. It was fun to see someone getting belted. :P

CR elections were the times when the unity of the entire class was actually tested. Noone was willing to stand against Tushar but when he stepped down there were 13 of us to battle it out. Eventually Mayank fought his way to victory in the battle of the 2 MA-‘s but the winning margin was sleeker than expected. Long live the party politics- floating votes equilibria...!!! Whatsoever it be the point is that yet another deserving person becomes the comps CR. It was actually a win-win for the floating junta, either Mayank or Madhur both were equally chilled and capable.

Comps farewell followed the CR elections. We actually gave our seniors a decent farewell, thanks to me n many more.. [:D]  Someone in black dress came all drunk and someone in white dress was trying hard to control the not-at-all-drunk lady. Suggestion to the lady in white, please start drinking so that the lady in black gets a company.[:P]

In between there were Engi and Inci. Engi people thought really hatke while designing the Engi  Tee and Inci was beyond any human form of expression. Ganjawala bored people to death . Chinnappa was however terrific , esp. For the House lovers. However I believe Inci ’08 was way too better than Inci ’09 – reasons being KK and incidents that happened in my life during Inci ’08 [:P] However overall S4 was awesome. They left being yet another set of happiest moments of my life. 

S4....the way it rolled by...Part 1

After being so jobless in the 3rd sem there was a deep desire to be even more jobless in the 4th sem, and fortunately this wish of ours was totally granted. We just couldn't have asked for more. 2 namesake labs, 2 half days and the best thing of all : fridays off. Even the IT junta wouldn't have ever felt so jobless. Also this time we, or atleast the lecturers, were sure of the subject they were teaching. It so didn't happen that we started up with Information Security and ended up learning Information Systems [:P]. After a month long winter break, the minds were still frozen and lost. As the lectures progressed a dense layer of Haze used to engulf the eyes, which was strictly due to the chalk dust, cold weather and frozen minds. Lectures were so damn interesting, you never felt asleep and you understood each and every word of what was being taught :P For beginners who still haven’t caught on the habit of listening to lectures I would strongly recommend listening to HOD's lectures, they were my favourite when it comes to understanding stuff.
Well as mutually decided by all the NID's , 4th semester started a week late for all of us. It wz more like a NID mass bunk, which worked out well as nuthin worthwhile happened in the first week. The first day of 4th sem started with research paper submission by KC. That was the day I felt Oh Holy Lord...we are engineers, we've gotta be writing something much more useful and less weird unlike this crappy blog of mine. Theory of Computation taught us to differentiate between a greater grade human and a lesser grade human. It also meant no butter roti's in the mess on Wednesdays. Also we learnt a new word in his class- GoK, God Only Knows what it means, I guess Government Of Karnataka.. [:P] MPI sounded scary in its initial phase with BRC's latest seminar evaluation scheme. There were high hopes among all that this wont last for more than 2-3 days. But proving everyone wrong BRC went ahead with it and as an outcome the entire class decided to study and come prepared for his seminar sessions. Greater grade human's doubts provided tonnes of open discussions in the MPI class. PDC was more like Proxy Direct Connect. All that mattered was some reliable friend of yours sitting in the class n givin u a proxy. PDC classes were fun with HoD's small talk which used to make us feel proud of our department. His talks on departments placements profile and IT industries positive growth rate in India used to be really encouraging. We also realised that our department had the potential to track down IP addresses etc etc. Can’t say more, might lead me into a controversy!! :) Actually the entire semester was like a simple boolean expression which could be further simplified using a Karnaugh map. CG and OT were the “don't care” cases in that Karnaugh Map. Open book tests which were conceptualised by KC were actually implemented by Frieda Ma'am. Endless class cancellations and test postponements were the highlights of these subjects. Sudarshan sir was just like our peer. Guess he realised the hardships we had to go through in waking for the 8 AM class in the morning, as an outcome of which the 8 am class started at 8:20 "officially", which meant wake up at 8:20 and be in class by 8:30 :D
CG lab xam was more like a record breaker for the class- every single person got the output, thanks to various efficient data transfer and mass storage techniques :P End sems were the "one night stand with books "time. You get to see so many alien/foreign author books. But seriously it was fun reading Forouzan. It had so much of weird stuffs like traffic conditioners (revelon..???),leaky buckets (m-seal/fevicol..??),, Quality of service (ISI/BIS Hallmark..??),etc etc. CG endsem was the moment when I was so close to my first academic nightout. Damn the sleep Gods, I ended up sleeping from 3am to 7am. OT exam just exemplified the usage of "Bahut maara maari hai!!", wid ppl trying to mug as much as possible in an effort to get a AA in atleast OT. Governed by Nishant Statistical GPA Measures that was the only subject in which i could have got an AA, but thanks to exam time blank-out I screwed it up big time. After having bore the brunt of ruthless end-sems finally here are 3 months of glorious time chill and relax ..
