INTERNET-MY LOVE :( MISS YOU

Every day in the morning it was the same. I had to do it. What else could I do?? It was vitually my life. It was my virtual life. He was there,bright as the shining sun. He was eating the world. In fact on the day he was available all new again, he was the most popular search that day. He was proud of it, I was more prouder. As soon as he sprang up, it was there, white a milk.There was nowhere I wanted him to take me that soon enough. That pure whiteness by itself gave joy.

I has to nothing much. Tell him where to go and direct him with the controlled enter . The green snake ran below, growing faster by the second. When it reached the destination and so had I. That joy was the most unsurpassable of all. It gave such a high that I smiled slowly to myself.

Usually they where there, two people surrounded my unnecessary crap.I had to tell them my favorite name and then some dots(it was stars also at time) and then I could speak to whomever or wherever they lived. I not only did this once,but atleast 5-6 times a day.It was my life… until I came here to Coimbatore, living away virtually from technology. INTERNET I MISS YOU. FIREFOX WAS MY LIFE.

P.S I’m here in cramped net center cum ticketing agency  which has people shouting about some reservation to UP. I don’t even have my own cabin and there was an inquisitive guy who wanted to pry into my comp over the monitor till i gave him a dirty look

Indian Olympic Opening ceremony 2008 :P

Well I just finished watching the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony and it was awesome. Boy can the Chinese do it well. Now what if India had hosted the Olympics and the opening ceremony was in delhi?? or Mumbai atleast?? Well the first question that comes to my mind is “is there so much space somewhere near a city that we can develop an Olympic village??” I think we won’t find a spec of land till Gurgoan or Noida near Delhi, and Chennai you either have to reach tirupathy on north or pondicherry[:)] in south.

Now lets say we have found such a huge peice of land, even in middle of the andaman island. Who’s going to be who in the opening ceremony??

I half expect akshay (singh is king) kumar to slide down a rope from mid air carrying the Olympic torch. Yeah the artistic gymnasts would be put to shame by him. A thumbs up bottle in one hand and the torch in other. Taste the thunder baby. Now there will next be Shah Rukh King khan who will want to get into the contingent of athletes and other participants. A case will be shortly lodged with the Olympic association following which King Khan will give press conference stating that he will extend support to the athletes from outside. The dialogue we had been hearing from the left parties for such a long time.

Oh yeah, the last leg of the torch will be carried by none other than sachin tendulkar. Who else have we got? With a MRF bat in one hand and torch in other he will last leg to light the Olympic flame. Or you never know due to an aggravated groin injury or stress in the back after so many days of practice he might pull out. Fill in with M.S.Dhoni. Punch line “drink milk, not beer,carry torch”!!

Now that the we have decided who must carry the torch, saif also will want to be part of the torch relay. He looks good on screen, why shouldn’t he carry it?? Aamir will boycott the Olympics. Darsheel safary will be the youngest person in the history to actually carry the torch. Rajnikanth will be the stadium cheering the athletes and might actually in one more movie that has him winning 10 Olympic golds.

Now there has to be a lot of cultural programs that portray our 10,000 year old civilization. There has to be a stiff competetion between aishwarya rai and mallika sherawat on who will dance? Mallika might have to settle for the closing ceremony . We might also have somebody young from one of the top political families who is going to be in the spot light so in the next election campaign it can be an achievement in the manifesto. What can this country portray as the spirit of Olympics?? And even if we manage to find the people worthwhile who is going to shut up all these people who want to be in the media spotlight

P.S: This might be one of my worst posts yet. M1 certainly says this shouldn’t be published.

One Missed Call….Might be a soul through the Cellphone :P

Well recently I have contained my movie watching spree. Ok its down to almost one movie a day. Now that I have exhausted Josh’s harddisk it only depends on Anand(not the K one ) and his ability to download movies at the wee hours of the morning. So recently I saw the Bee movie. Awesome stuff, that reminded me of the good old animation I had enjoyed as a kid,right from good ol toy story to cars. Well after the bee movie and dasavatharam(any mention of the mukunda song and I’ll disown my name) I just watched ONE MISSED CALL.

Oh my J D Krauss. Even if Dr.P.D. heard of this movie the idea would take it out of his mind. I mean it people. The movie is based on the fact that supranatural things(that’s a whole plane above super ) ok waves can travel through cellular phones. A soul travelling through cellular phones. Ok now that I have just finished my 8th semester I can almost clearly recall that the frequency of operation of GSM phones it 850Mhz. Think about that, next you can see the soul on your Cathode Ray Oscilloscope. And, I’m a bit imaginative, We could next have an experiment in the final semester examination titled : Deduce the following soul and plot its waveform. That shouldn’t be too difficult. Perhaps we could simulate the soul in MATLAB?? That’s a better idea. Its just a waveform and I would want to know how its frequency spectrum looks like? So such a possible does exist then what do you know each of us will have a distinct spectrum. So take my soul modify mine using whatever you want, even pen and paper… BOOM you get somebody else’s. Say Albert Einstein??

So what??

I can actually have anybody soul.What if I perform interference between two souls?(don’t say its a love connection) Do they interfere constructively or destructively?? And what frequency bands do they produce? Then then then I’m bugged and running out of ideas.. ALL HAIL SOULS AND SPREAD SPECTRUM COMMUNICATION.

In The Presence Of Enemies Part I

There are some basic rule that you need to learn when you want to start living in the world instead of just going around with the crowd. For one you need to know how to behave IN THE PRESENCE OF ENEMIES. This is something I have never learnt. Every time I get into a tough spot and somehow manage to find a way out of it I’m happy for sometime. But as i recount my actions within myself or to somebody else I find that there is a much better way or actually getting out of the problem than the method I have followed. Now all this going around the problem and past it makes me want to take the tiger comparison again. But I will refrain from doing so. Then I would become like one of those boring bollywood music directors who have run out of ideas so much that they either copy music or try and change a scale in their previous number to derive the current one. Well lets get back to the topic, one other trait I have not learnt is how to avoid embarrassing questions. Now that I have a new job( that I will be shortly joining) everybody I meet keeps asking me the same question in different ways. The stereotypical rocker of pondicherry asked me “How much bread da??” “What will you do with it??”. One of my friend’s mum who’s a bit old  and inquisitive asked me “Masathuku evalo thara??”.There are shrewder guys I have met. They actually want to know how much I will be earning but don’t want to make it look obvious. They ask “The tcs/infy/cts pay is blah blah blah,is yours comparable??” Then I’m like ” yeah don’t worry..”, But they still plough on and say ” I want you to choose the correct one.. you see wrong decisions can…” before they finish I either give them a blank look or openly tell them I can take care of myself. What do these guys think?? I can’t do math?? or I can’t see that they are doing math?? well you never can help them. There is another question that I’m very accustomed to these days. When I say that I’m a veggie and I (almost) don’t eat non veg. The next question is The next   “Are you a brahmin??” Well and I say “yes”. There are a few gentlemen and ladies who leave it here. There are those who want to know if I have ever broken my supposed tradition and touched meat. Then there are those who ask me ” Do you atleast eggs??” When I tell them “yes occasionally” the next question that comes pronto is whether my parents approve of this? I ask hell what is there problem man?? I might eat egg, frogs, even smoke pot. What is their problem if life??I know people whom I have met for the first time in a common party who will want to know everything about other people’s life including how much phone balance you have.I once met a guy who actually took my mobile the day I met him to go through the contacts . I know how do even get along with these people?? Well I’m going to stop now. There has been a very common complaint from a lot of my friends that my blogs are big. There will be “In the presence of Enemies Part II” for more of these.

The Last Mimzy – Scifi Flick??!!

Well I am recently going through a movie watching spree thanks to Joshua and his harddisk which has about 50 odd movies released in the span of last two years. I did see some worthwhile ones like the pursuit of happyness and the Bourne trilogy. Yeah, sadly i haven’t watched enough movies when I was in college. The movie which I found funnier than The Simpson’s Movie(yeah believe me!!) was THE LAST MIMZY.

After watching the movie the first thing that crossed my mind was “Is this one of those we are the spartans or scary movie kind of comedy flick??” but it has too less sex and too high retardness to be categorized is this genre’. Well the movie started off with what I thought was ok. A teacher teaches some students a story of how a scientist tries to save the humanity. The scientist here is dressed like the Dalai Lama. Yeah if you have not watched the movie you are allowed to go back and read that sentence again, The Dalai Lama and is supposedly proficient in quantum physics and nanotechnology.

Now he has with great difficulty sent back the secret to save the humanity back to the past. Now the viewer might expect something that is like the Terminator to come back. But we find a mysterious box that lands up on the shore where two small children are playing. Sadly there is a small girl whom the director has tried hard and failed to portray like Bo of Manoj Nightshyamlan’s Signs. The girl(Rhiannon Leigh Wryn) has indeed acted very well and it seems she couldn’t even read during the time the movie was taken so her script was read out and she memorized it. Now all this apart lets get back to the movie.

Back to the mysterious box which contains a Bunny Rabbit that reminded me of the one in the Blaupunkt advertisement and the rabbit can talk.Don’t worry not like the one in Alice in Wonderland,but it can make electronic voices that only our little Bo look alike can understand. In the mean time her elder brother takes all the other laser beam/micro chip looking toys from her and tries to play with them. But know what lo, he can hear the sounds of the universe through them.

Now enter science teacher who knows everything from mutation caused by pollution to weird drawings of the forbidden monks of tibet. He has a buddist chick(who’s a american native and was converted to buddism) who can read palms. Our universe hearing boy draws pictures in his science notebook that accurately resemble the depiction of universe in the ancient tibet. This was the my limit. Boy how much can they get into a movie?? From a small kid trying to save the world to stop polluting the planet to ancient dark secrets of the west. If you thought this was it.

Enter Micheal Clark Duncan,yeah our big fat huge bodygaurd guy who is working for the FBI. Now our small boy who has the other *toys* to save the universe plays withe them and creates a blackout that hit whole of the Seatle city. So Macho man Duncan now thinks this is a terrorist plot. He is woken up in the night when he’s making out with his wife and is called to the office. He sets up a task force in a place that imprenetable and finds out that exact location that started the blackout. Meantime our little Bo look alike has trances and levitates like some scary movie. believe me I’ve seen the exact scenes in horror flicks where the soul of the puppet enters kid’s body. Now the science teacher’s chick reads the children’s hands and proclaims that these are the hands of destiny which the mother refuses to believe. Now the parents think it time for drastic action. But at this moment the FBI macho man comes in with a swat team and arrests all the family. When they examine the bunny rabit which by now gives directions to the Bo look alike what to do they find that it has a INTEL logo in it. This is the limit. Tibet Monk scientist from the future works for INTEL??!! boy o boy…

Well rest of the movie goes as expected the children escape from the FBI security compound. Atleast they didn’t fight any guard on the way. Go back to the place where they found the toys and send back a tear(pure DNA) of the Bo lookalike to the future to save humanity which has been  corrupted  then.The FBI macho man as usual come in the end to witness the spectacle and says” is there anything i can do??” Now this is not all, in the closing scene they show a future school where children fly away from the teacher after school is over and guess what they have handmade shoulder bags that I see people of Aurobindo Ashram using. Well in the yesteryears my mum used to call them jolna pai. Don’t know how that name evolved but still yeah!!!

And now please do watch the movie. It rocks

Tiger at the doorstep- petrol prices and pondicherry

Well I call Pondi(pudu)cherry my home town. Its supposedly a sought after destinations for a lot of things. Browse the internet shrewdly and you will know what all can one get cheap in Pondicherry. Its almost like everything that supposedly has the forbidden fruit’s happiness or should I say kick is available for cheap here?? One can get loads of stuff on the road. All you need to know is where to look for, the best part being everything is close by as the city is small.

All this apart, the damning of the standard of living and the spoiling of the original heritage can be saved for some other great day when I personally get affected by all this to a great extent that it makes a lasting effect in my life. Well yeah that’s how people are and that’s how I am. Even though there might be a tiger waiting outside your doorstep you will fail to realize that it even exists till you wear your shoes, open the latch and place your foot outside. That is when you will wake up from the self imposed slumber and either start shouting for help and damning the tiger or more shrewdly you will find a way to go past it.

Now, what happens if there is no way past the tiger?? Will you just stay indoors and miss the fun? Or will you wait for the government to come and catch the tiger for you?? Now consider a hypothetical situation that you live in an apartment and the neighbour who shares the doorstep with you also needs to get rid of the tiger. Are you one of those who now either call the neighbour and tells him that there’s tiger in the common doorstep?? Or will you somehow tie the tiger to the neighbour’s latch( say be sedating) it so that its your neighbour who’s going to bear the total brunt of the tiger and find an alternate path out of your house(say through the kitchen window) even though it might be a bit inconvenient for you?? Or will you somehow dispose the tiger off even without your neighbour noticing??

All of this is happening now. The central government is still undecided on the petrol price hike. And without petrol our days fail to ignite let alone start. Now the petrol bunk owners here are suddenly shrewd. Hoarding is gallant. They claim that there is no petrol left in the city. I still can’t believe how a city that has 5 petrol bunks within a 1Km radius can go dry of petrol?? There are all kinds of atrocities that are happening. I’ve heard of neighbours stealing petrol from nearby parked vehicles. I was waiting in a petrol bunk from 2000 hrs today till 2130 hrs, only to be sent back claiming that even their tank that hold the petrol is empty. I saw autodrivers hitting each other and literally going to each others throats because an equal share of petrol is not being awarded to everbody. I saw huge guys on old remodeled bikes with scars in their faces(which indicates something about their profession) filling litres of petrol in a cans and being stopped by no one. I heard a friend say ” my dad get 15lts of petrol free per month, we will manage with it.” But what happens to the poor hapless guy like me who knows nobody big or cannot cunningly find a way round the tiger?? Do I wait in the queues forever?? or the best start walking around?? Let see Lets see….

Project I

Well the best part about the whole engineering course is the project. It gives you a sense of satisfaction(if you have done the project on your own) that you have learnt something from the 4 years of meaningless staring at the books and trying to understand them the night before exams. Now I had the most fun time doing the project. I started of with a guide who let me have my way for almost a semester and a half. I didn’t realize for a long time what I had to do. My guide gave me a link and told me to download and read it. The worst part was you needed an journal account to read the paper in the link. So I sought the help of my more fortunate friends in rich colleges to download the paper and mailed it to me.

The paper was more than Greek and Latin to me. There was some very big story about what are wireless sensor networks and how its coverage is calculated.Honestly, I’ve never been able to understand the algorithm proposed by the authors till date(considering the fact that my project now stands completed).Then my resourceful guide downloaded a e-book on wireless sensor network and gave it to me.I made my batch mates print it out.Yeah the poor guys printed our 250 pages and spiral bound it for me. Now this was something interesting, to read something remotely related to the prescribed curriculum. That always is fun. I read the whole book and wrote stuff on the side margins which were mostly unrelated thins like lyrics of rock songs,poems or swear words. It took me about a month to finish reading the book and another 15 days to understand the vague parts in it.

After I finished reading the book, for a few glorious days I was the happiest man alive on the face of the earth. I thought I had achieved something great. After a week I realized that though I could make out what the authors were trying to convey in that paper but I still can’t make a supposed project out of it. In the meantime people in the class started deciding on stuff like what programming language are they going to use for the  simulation of their project. The only language that i tried to learn was C. People where talking about NS 2,opnet and bigger terms. The idea of learning a whole new programming language seemed scary to me and thus I never took any steps towards learning them.

In the meantime my generous guide quit he job as a prof in my college. I now leached myself onto another prof. My new guide took me in and spent hours with me trying to make sense out of the paper.I still don’t know whether the guide actually read the paper or just told me how to make a project out of it.But somehow I sat through a couple of sleepless nights and three days of lectures in college and made the algorithm. Well the rest of the story will be continued.

Job Offers I

Well I’m one of those guys who wants more than one offer at the end of his graduation. Yes, I know this concept might be very normal for those of you living in supposed big cities or studying in big colleges. But there still exist places where the colleges have rules that the student can hold only one offer through the recruitments organized by the placement cell. And yes I was lucky enough to get a job. TCS has taken me in. I’m still unaware when my joining dates will be,but let us wait for that.

Somebody once told me that the job sites online can actually find you a job. All the companies though aren’t listed in a single job site. So I took a bolder decision and uploaded my resume in any site that gives a TV ad.Rik also had an idea that it might work so I had somebody to support me. Now I’m unsure whether he actually uploaded his resume or not. Well but the important matter of concern is the mails that you actually landup receiving in your inbox.

I was actually astonished to see this mail in my inbox yesterday. Believe me I didn’t make this up

For a moment as soon as I saw the subject I thought that all the work of filling up those grueling resume kind of applications online paid of. The worst part about filling up those questioners is that, by mistake even if you leave a column empty and click submit, the whole form doesn’t get approved and all the fields become blank again. Now let us come back to the great offer I’ve supposedly got from HCL. Can’t the great guy who composed this rip off spell letter?? or does his company named HCL give out latters?? I wouldn’t have been surprised if he said offer platters. And the great soul doesn’t even know his tenses right. He says the time and date of my offer will be mention in my coll or offer letter. And yeah he himself doesn’t know what sort of a letter he’s actually going to give me. Whether he’s going to call me for the job with the date of joining or offer me one and make me wait.

I also wanted to ask him which Company advised him to progress my application?? Don’t people usually process the applications??

The best part came when he was asking me to deposit money in the bank account for the job? Am i crazy? Pay for getting a job? And what sort of a company fixes a payscale ranging from 20k to 60K per month?? And please do read the line that says something about job profile,date-time of interview.

And please don’t try the number thats mentioned below even if you want to vent the frustration because the call gets charged the minute u start dialing and the answer you receive is that the number’s not reachable.

Am seriously interested in knowing which great soul got this idea and composed this mail. Even a 7th standard student can compose a better story than this.

And now, the sender’s address registered with the jobsite is not Ambica Towers Banglore but its in some bloody house in chennai mylapore.

Job sites do rock.

Rock Shop Jargon!!

“Well” as I’ve said it before,I’ll tell you again, WELL is my favourite word to start anything.This was something that happened recently when Rik (Kevin Moore) Sen,Daniel(Steve Vai) Raju, Me and an anonymous person who doesn’t want to be named where having lunch in Daily Breads. For those who don’t know what Daily Breads is, its a restaurant in the Gourbet Avenue in Pondicherry.

Now Daniel, rik and me started discussing some new rating of top ten guitarists that I recently saw on some crappy site and the rating had Kirk Hammet at number 4, but names like Steve Vai,Paul Gilbert and Yngwie Malmsteen failed to appear. I felt deeply hurt(god knows for what reason) and was openly damning the site. The anon sitting next to me was surprised and was wondering who all these people were??

Now the three of us launched into a great discussion on the proper rating that must be drawn when it comes to guitarists. Unanimously( am not considering anon) Hendrix was  number 1. Now after much debate we  arrived at the conclusion that Satch was second and Vai and Petrucci shared a common third. Though Vai could play the guitar totally out of the world; Petrucci’s powress in the solos of the Dream theater numbers should not be forgotten.

But Daniel still wouldn’t agree. He brought up Ritchie Blakmore and that reminded me Steve Morse. Then the discussion turned to how Deep Purple would have fared if Satriani had continued in the band after his brief stint or should I say guest performance. I still personally wish he could have continued( damn the record commitment with Sony crap). Now who could forget Micheal Angelo?? The anon for sometime thought the conversation was coming back to sane grounds and started something about David and the Sinistine Chappel. You should have been there to see the look on his face when Dan said he meant the guy who invented the “over under technique.” The Great Debate was in no verge of ending. Who more could be added to the list??

Rik just then came to a should I say sane conclusion that ranking guitarists is next to impossible. By then all three of us had also discussed stuff like, whether the timing of Dream Theater in Stream Of Consciousness( Album : Train of thought (2003)) was better or  was it Take the Time( Album : Images and Words(1992)) ?? We had also thrown light on lyrics of Spirit of the Radio. The reggae part in the song had lyrics that are similar to Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sounds of Silence”.

Well now that I’ve come here. The Spirit of The Radio says

For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall
Concert hall
And echoes with the sounds of salesmen

And the sound of silence has lines that say

And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whispered in the sounds of silence.

Now we know why Neal Peart’s such a great lyricist apart from his drumming abilities.

This was going way too far for our anon gentleman who had silently heard the names and words he had never even dreamed about in his life. He suddenly made his presence felt by ordering the waiter to bring the bill. The other three of us realized that by now we had spoken for more than 3 hours about what I would later hear Mr.Anon call Bullshit. Mr.Anon told me that if the food had not been good and had he not been intently eating far more than his share he would have walked out in the first half an hour. Mr.Anon without us noticing had finished not only his 3 course meal but also had tasted whatever the others has ordered, no wonder that I felt hungry just after reaching home from lunch that day. What more can be said?? Never eat with rock maniacs if rock ain’t your cup of tea and even if you have to do so make sure you have company with you,else you will land up like our dear Mr.Anon here and listen about the greatness of things beyond your comprehension.

Madagadipet the cosmopolitan town

Well.. I know its a bad thing but I always manage to start every para/blog/email with well. People who correspond with me regularly know that I’ve this habit

So well well well…. MADAGADIPET located at about 23Km from pondicherry its nearest small town and 11Km from villupuram on the NH45A. Mada as I have started it calling fondly is a great place to pass through.

The very first thing that you think when one waits in the busstand in sweltering heat is that why the hell are there no trees?? and why on earth is there an open drain just behind the busstand. Why does the briyani asshole who runs the shop throw the remains into the drain?? Ooops did i call it a drain somebody once told me it was an irrigation canal. The shops there don’t know what a dustbin is. Everything from beer bottles to top up cards find there way into the drain. Cleaning it is out of question. Then there would exist a very healthy mosquito free atmosphere. I almost forgot the chat bajji and all other knick knack shops that crop up in the banks of the drain in the evenings. Where do they throw there plastic plates?? The great drain takes it all

I was actually a very happy person the day the bus shelter came up in the busstand. But alas no use they are now used to tie goats on Tuesdays( the day the santhai opens). Now the bus shelter also serves another purpose. people can poop behind it even in day time without being seen. what a brilliant idea!!

The next thing I’m actually impressed with mada is the number of tailor shops. Last time u counted 7. And 5 of them where on the same road. 3 of them in the same mall.When I say mall here i mean one of those buildings whose staircases are used for people including students to smoke discreetly, and the staircases are what say a foot wide. I wonder if somebody as obelix says well covered wanted to climb what will they have to do? The malls also have a balcony for each shop in the top floors through which one can see the world below which one can also use as suicide points to jump into the great drain or the busy NH45A highway below.

Now another one fact one must always remember is that there exist as many as 4 internet browsing centers on the same goddamn road. All of them are owned by a young man whom the people around consider as a geek. These great men as i’ve noticed have the habit of pressing the break or the home key every time windows boots. what is the use??Ask them not me. Now all these internet centers have an average of 3 computers and 2 monitors that are just lying around. They don’t have CD burners nor can one print papers. All this is actually too much to ask from mada where the only shop that sells CDs charges you Rs12 for some goddamn local CD and Rs14 for a sony CD.

Well the worst part comes when you are trying to cross the road. there is one of those huge rountanas with an abstract pillar in the middle for vehicles to go round and round. Does anybody actually go around?? No!! why?? don’t ask me ask the great people.

Well apart from all this if u really want to know mada get into a villupuram bus after 10am so that u don’t get suffocated by the college crowd and get down. Take the lanes you will bump into an old temple. Come on a tuesday you are still in luck. Witness the typical cattle market of south india where everything is sold and taken back in tata aces!!

Madagadipet all the way!!!
