A Big Fat Sloppy Sorry

I've been through a lot lately, and I do not have words to express it as of now. As of exams, I have only 3 days left for my exam and I didn't start. As of now, I do not care about exams. Exams come and go, it is the knowledge that matters. Worry not, and thy shall succeed is my new found motto. Let's see how far it can get me. For those who log in to read my blog at least once a day, I'm really sorry folks. I actually have no words to type, plus my internet connection has been barred from the college because I was downloading a Discovery TV series, on "How Stuff Works". Until further notice, and with a heavy heart, I bid my readers adieu :(

A honest reply?

       "The world, wants us to change." These are the first words that ring in my head, when I get up late in the morning and see my room mate getting ready to go to the library and study. With only 10 days left for the final semester exams, I wonder what is going to happen of me, and my dear brothers who follow suit. While waking up, a friend comes and asks me to clean his phone infected with virus. So, as a gesture of kindness, I take out my laptop, scan his phone with the antivirus, and hand it back over. Then, was the moment when Ajith (the friend I described in "About a Friend" told me I had made some errors in my previous blog post). So, I rectified it in a moment or so, and started wondering at the number of comma's I have used in the blog post. It is truly a large number. That started me thinking, comma's are used in every other language, be it English, Hindi, Marathi, French, Russian? I'm not sure about Kannada though. Also, I do not want to dedicate a whole post only about Comma's! So, people I need feedback! I need to know, what do you like to read? What keeps you on the edge? What will make you come to my blog every single hour of the day? Or atleast every single day? I love to write, that is true. But what is the point in writing, if people do not read it? Or if people do not like what I read?

You, yes you right there reading this post must comment what you want me to write. So please do me a favour and type everything that you want to read in the comment box, or in the facebook page, because I cannot read minds. :P Peace out.

Keep reading. :)

Confessions Of A Blogaholic

Sometimes I wonder how life takes its treacherous plans, executes it on us, and does not want to tell us, about what happens next. What has my life amounted too? All of those 19 years of useless ranting around, watching TV, movies, wasting time eating, sleeping? Doing, thinking, wondering stuff, that make no sense. Until some years back, when the keyboard started making sense to me, when life came like a puzzle, half solved, when I couldn't resist to type, not because I wanted to type, but because I fancied people in fancy Hollywood movies and the speed with which they type. No, I did not attend typing classes, neither did I practiced typing. All I did was chat on Facebook, day and night, with friends and strangers alike. I started typing a lot, chatting with people from Hawaii, Boston, England, Canberra, New York, and people from different time zones all around the world. Their English varied, and so did the politeness, the way they type, the way they express themselves. Having gone through all that, now, I could pretend to be a smart ass guy from MIT, Boston, or a single working mother from New York. Moreover, pretending to be a Chinese person is effortless, as far as the other person does not turn out to be Chinese.

As far as my English is concerned, people find it hard to believe, but watch 3 Hollywood movies a day for a year, and your English would be appreciably fluent. Well, it worked for me. One good thing about the Television set, and all the movies I have watched so far. Blogging, on the other hand came as an interest to me all of a sudden. I did not learn to type, but I learned in the process of making new friends. The only reason I type, is because I feel better, when I put all that I'm thinking on a keyboard with a memory or a piece of paper. Writing with a pen never fascinated me, given my bad handwriting, but writing on the keyboard always does.

Now, as the clock strikes 1500 hours on the 5th of December, 2012, I'm not wasting my study holidays studying throughout the day. But instead, I'm doing what I love the most. Blog post. There are only 11 more days for the semester exams to start, and I know I've to study, but I've not yet started, because I could not start studying without typing all this onto a valid keyboard. Exams, what they do is, get into the brains of the people without a strong will, and make them study 19 hours a day, which ultimately takes a toll on their health. Give it a rest, maintain a strong will, and study one day before the exam, watch miracles happen. Because, it was meant to be this way, I do not know what happens next, whether this post becomes an Internet sensation or the world ends on 21^st December, but I try to make sense of it all, because I believe, LIFE was meant to be.

A review ( The Suraj Hotel, Moodbidri)

              So, tired of all the food eating in the mess. We decided to try something different and go eat in The Suraj "International" Hotel which recently opened its branch in Moodabidri, a small town 30 kilometres from Mangalore. Well, after persuading all my friends to go there and try something to eat, they agreed and we were on our way.
             As soon as we entered, we were greeted by numerous people in black coats and ties, and they guided us towards a seat. Pretty good start, I must say. I do not have much knowledge about the stars that hotels get according to their neatness and luxury or whatever. So, with great contemplation, I finally asked my know-it-all friend, Karthik, whether this hotel was 3 star hotel? He gave me a weird look as if I asked one of his kidneys to donate( this is a movie dialogue, I can't remember which ). Yes, so he enlightens me about how hotels are rated, according to the cleanliness and stuff, how every nook and corner of the hotel should be cleaned, unlike the corner of a window pane in the hotel which was noticeably unclean, and how the tables should not be numbered like the latter hotel did it. Thus, it turns out that this Hotel has no stars but still a fancy restaurant to eat. Good food. Good service. No tax. I especially loved the plate arrangements with fork and spoons and the glass arranged symmetrically throughout the table. Plus, we can eat non veg on the same table, with our beloved pure vegetarian friend because they have separate vegetarian kitchens! The food is not priced too high, nor too low, nor average. You could call it a little much more above average.

             The overall experience was good, just before an argument between my friends, about how in 'Burj Al Arab' they'll make you any dish you order provided you give the recipe, but then another friend argued how could they make it if we do not have the recipe and we still want to eat the dish. Well, without doubt the latter person won. Here's an image of the symmetric arrangement of the table. It is pretty impressive (in the ambiance of Moodbidri at least). Keep reading folks. ;)

Lab Bonanza

I finished my AEC lab internal exam with much difficulty as it goes. Apparently, I got the easiest experiment among all the experiments, and then again the easiest of the bunch of easy experiments, still the output was obtained when there was only 15 minutes left to the deadline. Seriously, how do they expect us to get the right output with all the wrong components? I got a series clipper circuit, that being a very simple connection, all I had to do is use a diode, a 3.3K resistor and a power supply along with some connecting wires to obtain the required output on the CRO. But, the components not being up to the mark, as they say it, I had to change the diodes and the CRO two freaking times! If I had to change  it once more, I'd have considered doing it without the breadboard! So, now that the lab is over, I have no regrets, because in the end I got something which could be considered as the output. And the external seemed pretty okay with it and with the  viva voce as well. It all went good, considering the party we had the previous night on account of Karthik's birthday. :P and well, the picture attached is not my experiment, but clearly depicts some IC on a bread board. :P

Inexpensive Hostel Birthday Cake :D

So, it hit me, "What if we don't have a cake?" looking at the banana and apple on Shreyas's table, we could make a birthday cake dish, out of the world! So, armed with Vijesh's white plate (the base of the cake), some almonds, raisins and a rose syrup concentrate, we ended up making a 100% pure vegetarian cake fit for all and even cost effective. The best part was the dressing on the cake, with blood red rose syrup waiting to be slurped and licked upon. No doubt, the birthday was over whelmed provided he was told that there was no cake for him that night. We all relished the cake, but Rashmit did the most. So, a tip for all those who forgot to bring chocolate cakes for their friend's birthday, some fruits could do the trick. ;) Now, I'd have to go back to studying given the AEC external practical lab tomorrow morning at 8. Happy Birthday Karthik! :D Keep reading folks. :)

Infamous Chicken Noodles.

We hail from a city where Chinese food is present in every nook and corner of the streets. Thus, when we come to a place where people have just invented Chinese food, the hunger to gobble it down the moment I see it, never stops. Plus you get cheap Chinese food over here. In Mumbai, if you ask half a plate of Chicken Fried Rice or Noodles, they'd straight away tear a bill of 50 rupees in your name! But here, even a full plate of Chicken Fried Rice or Noodles cost 44 rupees. What we usually eat is Half plate Chicken noodles. The usual food every student of our college eats, except some people ( pure vegetarians, my room mate, etc. )

Earlier, the hotel from where we eat used to test our honesty. All we have to do is go to the kitchen and tell what we need to hog on, and then pay at the counter. But, human nature as it is, most of them go home without paying, so the very smart but rude owner of Hotel Ramakrishna found out a new " COUPON " system. Where we have to pay first and then take food from the counter. Hence, the owner gets more money in his pocket than usual. One more aspect of the owner, my blogger friend Shreyas Bhat pointed out, is that almost every other work in the hotel is done by the owner including cashier/cook/cleaner/bouncer. Yes, Bouncer, he calls people who haven't paid back and shouts at them as if he just stole his life away from him. In other words, he did. Well, apart from that, there is nothing around our college that fills up a students stomach better than a Half Chicken Noodles from RK, or sometimes a Kebab to make the dish more luxurious. Yes, Kebab is indeed a luxury with 12 rupees a piece. Earlier they used to charge 10 bucks for a piece. I know, for most of the rich people reading this, 12 rupees might see trivial but ask those who stay in a hostel and they'll tell you the importance of money. Moreover, ask my friend Abhilash Shetty, he's pretty good at explaining things. ;) Here's an attached image of Half Chicken Noodles with and without Kebab, costing Rs.34/- and Rs.22/- respectively. :D Yes, one more thing, the taste of this noodles varies daily, and yes, daily, i.e. every single day!

Everything, except God.

Once, I decided that I'd blog every single day, and then I just left that decision there, to rot. But today, as I fell down with a thud in front of one hundred people, something deep inside of me told me, that I had to blog. I don't know why, but the fall had something to do with this, all. Today, I come before you, not as a person who talks what crap happens to him in his day to day life, but rather a more wide aspect. Religion, caste or God moreover, who we are accustomed to worship earlier than we learned to speak. I remember saying all "Shlokas" by heart, but not knowing the meaning of a single of them. Now, when I look back, I think I was such a fool when I was a kid. Don't we all feel the same way? How stupid we were when kids, getting angry for no reason whatever and doing everything what elders tell us to. But as we grow and learn, we understand that its not the way shit works. How many of us know the actual meaning of what shlokas we blurted out in front of statues of Lord , Krishna, Ganesha and Saraswati. 

My point is, people do not try to understand God, and so in that lazy behavior, they either stop worshiping the superior power, or turn into atheists. One thing about atheists is, they turn out to be very arrogant and they go all like, " We do not believe in God or whatever, f*ck you!". I simply do not understand, if they do not believe in God, why are they angry for no reason at all? Well, if you knew what the superior power is about, you'd not be angry as much as you are now. Food for thought.

Ultimately, it comes down to one thing, whether or not one should worship the almighty. If yes, why? Does something like that even exist? Or is it just the human brain acting all funny? Or is it just the ancestors that thought of acting crazy centuries ago and made up a new deity? Whatever the reason might be, Science, our predecessor still hasn't proved some shit yet. So what I believe is, till Science totally denies that God exists, or reveals all the secrets of the universe that even the brightest brains of the world are not able to decipher, would be the world I'll stop having faith in a superior power. Till then, I'd like to believe that there is a superior power, and that is what is controlling the universe or more over guiding our lives. Fair enough, atheists? Until then, it is in our hands to save the light of the supreme power in our hearts. Keeping reading people. :)

Internet=Blogging

Yes, I agree its been pretty long since I last put a post containing my verdict about the everyday random shit that happens to me. And every time as I fail to keep my promise, I henceforth do not promise to promise that I'll post regularly. Well, there are not much people who read my blog. A mere 65 people like my facebook page, half of whom could be unaware of what the page is or why they would have probably liked it.

Well, in the past two to three weeks or so, we couldn't get wifi anywhere near the hostel, but now that I do in the comfort of my bed, why not blog? so, I grab the opportunity and post some stupid shit right here. Like the rest, I do not promote my page on random photos or comment on random pages. That is just lame, isn't it? Exactly. Anyways, If I get this kind of internet connection at my doorstep every single day, I promise, wait not promise.. I shall try to blog (every single day), I hate that word. While my friend reminds me of the topic "Retarded potential" in "field theory" while listening to Katy Perry's Firework, and I try to struggle through the slow internet connection looking for a picture of some technical stuff.

I found out, if there are pictures in your blog, people read alright. !! Here's a  picture of... better luck next time, Google images is giving me a hard time!

Sole to soul

So, after a day or two. I finally decided that I'll blog today. I recently finished reading this book of Durjoy Datta which goes by the title, "Now that you're rich, lets fall in love". I never really understood the point of giving such huge a title to a book.

He could might as well written the climax of the story on the cover page. He is a swift writer, no doubts about that, but his books would be a lot more decent to the eye if his titles were, maybe a bit shorter? Almost all of his books have very long titles, I need to ask him. WHY?

Apart from the regular shit, I'm going through a period of my life, when everything and everyone seems to be happy, and those who aren't, well, they atleast pretend to be when I'm around, and that does the trick. Hence making me, by default the happiest person on the planet. :D

Mean while, all of my friends are headed home during the mini vacations, in the upcoming week, "On account of" Dusserah. I prefer staying back and attending lectures, because I cannot afford to miss the love of my life during the semester vacations( The perks of not having a cell phone or a facebook account, I'm telling you.) So, well I'm attending lectures on Sundays also. If you are wondering why? Read the above sentence once again. The irony being, the sole of my shoes went rogue, and so did my soul. ;) "Agar baat samajh aayi to ek dabaye" :D

So, yes I'm going to stay at both of my Granny's places and....nothing. I'm just gonna stay there and wait for the vacations to get over. Plus the young lady sitting next to me is peeping into my computer every now and then, so I'd rather publish this post, than be recognized by everyone in the college the next day as, "THE GUY WHO BLOGS! OMG! :O"

Keep reading people. :D

Yes. Blog update, Here it is.

After two weeks since I last blogged, finally I got time to update. A lot of stuff has happened in the past two weeks, exams and all that kinds of shit. But more importantly, I write this blog because my senior always asks me where my blog update. I keep promising her everyday, but at the end of the day I get pretty lazy to actually take out my laptop from the locker and type in shit when my hours in the college past so well and life is bliss. I shall give the reason later, for now, its just that, I'm the happiest guy on the planet. :D

Right now, in my friend's room after a intense counter strike session, I decided to blog when Manjoosha texted me "Gn sd tc" which interprets, " you do not update your blog, and I'm not talking to you" so yes, here is the blog update. Well, this isn't much but there's a lot more coming in store. All of this shit I've been through these two days is worth sharing and yeah +=> it is some funny shit alright. I've nothing to write about as of now, because I'm sleepy and I'm writing only because I do not want to piss kind people off :P Till then, keep reading people. :D

(Memory+Questions+Food+Time)*Engineering=a really long post at 3:00am

Yes, its true I haven't kept my word about blogging every single day, and that is because I do not have time. Given by the time, I updating this post, its almost 02:30 am on the clock. Completing analog electronic circuits assignments, logic design record, math assignments, studying for the Network Analysis test, is all that my life consists of at the moment. But, I disagree with the fact that this is all that my life needs, hence the blog update.

After all the shit, I've been through, I found out that whatever I predict or imagine or even think in my wildest of imaginations, doesn't come true. I've been longing for that time, where I could say, "Yes, this is my dream and it is finally true." Because, it simply never happens. Also, I bragged how I'll update my blog every single day, and It Never Happened. Though I try my best to update whenever I get the TIME> I'll henceforth try to update it everyday, so that my senior who always mocks me about how I did not keep my word, gets an answer right in theface. :P

The last time, I blogged about how easy Math and Analog Electronic circuits are referring them to mouth watering pieces of cakes, I scored badly in both the test, 16 and 15 marks out of 25 respectively. People would argue that these are pretty good marks for an engineering student, who starts studying a night before the exam, and I respect that. Before that, I bragged how easy IIT-JEE was and how anyone could crack it, referring JEE( one of the toughest exams in the country) to a piece of cake again, I flunked in that test. Well, I didn't study, and I still think that JEE is a piece of cake, but still as I mentioned before, what I think never comes true. Yeah, my bad luck, or if I take it in an optimists outlook, its actually great. It teaches how we must live in the present and not worry about the future, and make the most of now and all that kinds of crap. What I don't get is, If I don't think about the future, how will I get through? Depending on almighty is one thing, and not preparing for tomorrow's exam just because we're supposed to live in the moment is another. If we do not study for the exam that is tomorrow, how could we possibly pass? If we have ample knowledge about the subject then not studying is just fine. But when we do not know SHIT about the subject, how is "living in the moment"
 justified?

I've been looking for answers for a long time, and when I get my answer, another question arises and I start looking the perfect answer for the newly found query. Fifteen more minutes to 3 am, and I could be officially declared as a Nocturnal creature.

Back to the topic on which this blog is based on, Engineering Life>> I slept for 13 hours this Sunday. Yes, I slept for more than half the day, and I'm not ashamed of it, because a good sleep is all that a Good engineering student needs, as they rarely get one. Skipping breakfasts, having lunch in "Ramakrishna Non veg" hotel downstairs, is now starting to be a trend. The last time I remember having breakfast is when I woke up at 7. College is at 9, and I get up at 8. One hour is all I need to get myself in place and in the classroom seat. All of a sudden, I realized that I've a pretty bad memory these days. I was about to blog about my bad memory in the first place, but my bad memory did not let me blog about the bad memory I was about to blog on. Whenever I'm in class, I come across a lot of stuff and I feel like,"Oh man, I got to blog this the first thing I get my hands on a keyboard, with an internet connection." Wait, there should be a monitor as well( bad memory perks). But as I said, I've a bad memory, I forget to note things down and I forget to blog. Whenever my friends are like, "Remember that time, when that shit happened, and he did that and this, and I did that, and she was like woah." I stare at their faces, as if they are speaking a foreign language, because I have no clue what in the name of holy spirits, they are talking about!! I... see? I just forgot the next freaking sentence, I had planned to write at the beginning of this bad memory topic. Henceforth, I take an oath to take down whatever funny crap that I find worth blogging and worth reading for you guys as well, so that everybody lives a peaceful life and green house gases decrease(I've no idea why I put that shit right in the middle of all this) Until tomorrow, alright people, keep reading. :D
P.S-The animal above is Holstein-Freisian breed of dairy cow.(This implies, I must sleep right now.)

Do not read. Boring post. Revival needed.

So, finally I find the time to blog in the college Internet lab, the last time I remember blogging in the lab is in the last semester. The irony of buying new stuff is that, once you get it, you lose its importance. With fifteen minutes left till the next lecture and I'm pretty confused what to blog about, a friend suddenly walks up to me and appreciates my blog, I'm naturally, flattered by his frankness. He even offers to translate my blogs to Kannada, for the local folks to get a hold of what I write. I'm overwhelmed right now. I have no idea what to write and still I'm typing random crap into the keyboard very hard, so that everyone in this net lab could know that I'm a blogger!! :D Yeah, poor means of advertising, I understand, but you could call it desperation of young bloggers who wish to make their blog famous? You'll know what I'm talking about if, you start a blog, and very less people visit it.

Lectures before the lunch break were pretty alright, provided I had not done the Math or Analog Electronic Circuits assignment, so I was kicked out of the class and asked to write the assignment 4x times respectively. Math ma'am being kind at heart, could not bear seeing her students outside the class completing notebooks, as it would be pretty harsh on her part as well, so she called us back in to the class and asked us to complete the homework as soon as possible. Cheers to that. This post is getting pretty boring down the line and I'd rather not bore you more, as I'm not on the edge since I've not blogged for the past few days due to unavailability of an Internet connection. And I know I'm making many grammatical errors, and I've five minutes for the classes to start, so without wasting my time further, I bid everyone a happy adieu, Adios, folks. :D (P.S. I'll try blogging better from now on)

Cute Capacitor Revenge. :D

In the midst of all the serious experimenting in the Analog Electronic Circuits laboratory, my lab partner never seems to be intimidated by the amount of seriousness I inculcate in rigging up the circuit. :P The other day, we were trying independently clip two sinusoidal waveforms, and the output waveform was like a design, and she goes, "Oh my god, this is soooooooooo cuteeeeeee". And I'm staring at her, as if she was the one who master planned the 9/11 bombings. You might know a thing or two about girls, that they blabber all day and stuff, but this particular young lady could go on and on for hours together. :P Therefore, I prefer not arguing with her, especially when she's all, "(makes a frown face) aaaaaa this is soooooo boring, aaaaa im so sleepy, aaaaaa I hate him!!!, aaaaaaa we'll do this in the next labbbbbbbb, aaaaaaaaa". And the way she says all this is so funny, I can't stop but laugh!! I even got into trouble the other day, when the lecturer saw me smiling, and told something in Kannada, which was later explained to by my lab partner that the lecturer wanted me to kick me out of the lab!! :P

I'll tell you a situation which happened today, when we got a couple of a 100 pico ( 10 to the power -12) Farads ceramic capacitors, and she goes "wowwwwww this is soooo cuteeee!!!!" I am not sure whether this was a bit too offensive on my part, but I'm sure that if she is reading this at the moment, she'll go, "Ashish, I'll kill you!!" But, I do not care, my dear friend. ;) Here is the photo of a ceramic capacitor, and even if you find it cute, congratulations, you just found a best friend!! :P Alright people, Keep Reading! :)

Sunday Or Vacation?

Lazing around on a nice Sunday feels so good after a hectic week. All I did yesterday was watch movies and sleep and got up late in the morning today. A good twelve-hour sleep, once a week, sets it all right. Obviously, if you get up late in hostel, you don't get breakfast and given the similarity in the mouth watering delicacies of lunch you get daily, you'd rather eat in the "apparently gross hotel" according to those "hygienic people who eat in seven star hotels", which caters to the needs of almost everyone. Right from chickenators to hard core cigarette smokers. Named after the Indian Mythological Gods, "Ram and Krishna", Hotel Ramkrishna, caters to the needs of students who get tired of the daily rants of engineering life, offering them chicken, maggi, sandwiches, cold drinks, ice creams, omlete paav, vada paav, sev puri, bhel puri, "chinece noodles, fried rice, bhel(Chinese people would ", or just a simple pack of  smokes and much more. I wonder if Lord Ram or Lord Krishna come to visit our small town, they'd be surprised how students are getting spoiled under the pretext of their holy names. Cigarettes, one puff and they could spoil the best of people, is exactly what happens here. There are students who visit RK(as we lovingly call the "gross hotel") succumb to peer pressure and start drifting away in their own world of (holy) smokes.

It has its own corner for those who smoke on the backside of the hotel, where people who do not smoke, do not go, and anybody who goes behind is automatically a smoker in the eyes of the world. I've completed one year in this beautiful place and I hope the readers understand my Sarcasm. That's about it  for today, my friend is hungry and so am I, and there is a guy( who smokes) staring at my laptop, so I'd rather stop because he appears pissed. Keep reading people. ;) 

This is that shit, right here.

I pen down, or rather type this post sitting on the broken college chair which was installed merely a week ago, all due to the admission hype.Yes, there are a lot of new faces one can see in our college these days. Most of them flaunting their attitudes on their forehead. Juniors, can't help it, would take a while till they understand how things roll in the college.

There is this particular who comes to the college wearing a tie, a blue, red or a freaking YELLOW tie! Even our Dean prefers not wearing the neck gear, but this junior is all set to make his mark on this institution only till the seniors take good care of him.

Apart from all the regular blabbering and blogging about how my day was and how my crush smiled at me, I'd think of doing something different than the usual. For example, here is a diagram of an RC phase shift oscillator. :D Courtesy Wikipedia. :D

To know how this shit right here, works, contact me or Wikipedia is always your best friend. Keep reading folks. ;)

Random recall

Internal exams are over, maths and analog electronic circuits were pretty okay, but not that good. I managed to score average marks, which in engineering, does the trick. There's this beautiful subject called field theory though, in which almost the whole class flunked, except a handful of people who managed to break the ice. Today was the first day in college after internals and all lecturers were pissed at the students who scored less than "their expectations". Apparently, some of us would quote, "we scored more than we expected". Seriously, how much marks do you expect when you start studying 4 hours before the exam? Getting eleven marks out of twenty five with only that much of studying is a big deal, at least for me it is.

Getting up during the exams is a real pain for me. I usually sleep during exams, and wakingup seems like walking all the way to New York, without flip flops. My room mate who has a very bad voice, keeps on singing all the time and he thinks, his voice is the vocal equivalent of A.R. Rahman. I hate to disclose this to him, but A. R. Rahman would kill himself if he came to know of this dreadful comparison. I know I'm going out of topic here as I don't  have anything to write on. Its funny, when I'm in class, whenever something weird happens, I'd be like, "I could write a 1000 words about this funny shit". But now when I try to recall, all I can think of is the word recall. From now on, I'll make it a point to carry my laptop everywhere and whenever something happends, I SHALL BLOG! Till then, Keep Reading people. :D

Seven hours to Math exam

So, here I am again, just like I promised, to blog every single day. Well, this ain't exactly "the day", as it strikes 02:21 on my clock here in the hostel. Its funny how hostel gets all silent during the night, cuz in the day it seems to be a nuclear reactor workplace. Especially during Sundays, the only day we rest that is. So, yeah today's my maths exam and well, yesterday, the 9th of September was a day out of the usual, as all I did in the room was kept staring at my textbook on analog electronic circuits and engineering mathematics 3. It actually makes sense when you start reading some stuff from the basics. Some part of Analog Electronic Circuits or AEC as the young generation prefer it calling, actually has got some grounds of justification.

Analog Electronic circuits is actually a fun subject, clippers, clampers and all that kinds of shit has practical application in a vast field. Whenever I study something, which has some practical application, I get this "yeah, I can do something, I know something of which this world is made of". Fourier Series on the other hand which comes purely under mathematics as of now, is apparently an infinite sine and cosine series. For those readers who do not know what sine and cosine is, Wikipedia could be your best friend. Back to Fourier series, it finally made sense when the long forgotten IIT-JEE lectures revived themselves in my brain, and all of a sudden I realized how whatever we do in life, somewhere, sometime it'll pay us back. As they say, "What goes around, comes around". Here, the "they" is a random Facebook friend whose status inspired me to reblog this quote for all the good reasons. Fourier series is a piece of cake, if you look at it in the graphical sense.A little bit of common sense, knowledge, imagination, and Engineering Mathematics could be your slave. Mark my words. Its almost 02:30, I'd better go to bed or else there'll only be six hours remaining for the test. Adios Amigos. Keep Reading. :)

Daily blog #1

So, this is the first day of the rest of my blogging journey where I take an oath to blog every single day no matter what, which could help me improve my English, vocabulary and also will help my story, my views to readers all over the globe. A brief introduction, me, Ashish Suvarna, pursuing engineering in a town called Moodbidri, completed 2 semesters which is equal to one year with much appreciation is going to write about the daily shit that happens to him on this page. It might be interesting or boring. So, those who wish to read, log on. Today, being the last day of the week, Saturday, was a pretty good day, I showed my teacher how to solve a possibly difficult problem with much ease and also explained to the class how its done. Its funny, when you take a teacher's place, you understand what problems he faces while teaching. When I'm explaining to the class how to convert max term expressions into canonical form using the minimum number of steps, the class is staring at me as if I'm a creature from some racist planet. The blackboard was my best friend then, as I was trying to face the blackboard every now and then. Apart from explaining to stupid stuff to the class, the girl I've a crush on turned back and smiled. I smiled back, not knowing what to do next. The rest of the day was interesting enough, and as I have my exams from monday, I'd have to study. This particular suibject, apparently called "Field Theory", really gets on my nerves as I believe, it gets on everyone's. Being the first day as a daily blogger, I suppose this much of material would suffice. I've a lot more in stock, which could might as well keep your jaws open, but you'd have to wait for that. As they say, Patience is most rewarding. I don't know, whether "they say" or not. I just made that up. Keep reading folks. :D

About a friend.

Ajith, or as he prefers calling himself AJ (the cooler counterpart) is the only person I’ve come across so far so always has a smile on his face, no matter what. And when I say, ‘no matter what’ I mean it. Ajith and I have been friends and classmates for over a year now and there have been times in class when we were kicked out of the class for random stuff, and this person is still smiling! He’ll never disappoint you if you crack really bad jokes. If there were 100 Ajith’s in the audience, even I could be a stand-up comedian. Donning the last bench of the class was not always the ulterior motive, but getting good marks. This particular guy never gave a rat’s ass for class tests or assignments and during the final exams, he brings this result out of nowhere which says “First Class with Distinction”, and we’re like, when in the name of god did you study?

Chelsea, the mere utter of the word makes this guy goes crazy. I’m not much of a football guy, so that irritates me when he’s all “WOAH F**K YOU, THIS GUY(some Latin American name) SCORED A GOAL” and “WOAH, CHELSEA WON, F**K ALL HATERS” and “KTBFFH” which inadvertently means "keep the blue flag flying high"( I seriously do not know why they kept such an abbreviation, it could be FBFH "flying blue flag high" so simple!) on his twitter and facebook profile. So, I prefer not visiting his wall during such catastrophically invaded events. He says, he has a fan following on ‘twitter’ who ask him about football matches, I wonder who these people are. As of now, you could have figured out that he’s a die-hard Chelsea fan. So, anything you say to him, never say a word against Chelsea if you wish to live peacefully. As far as I know, he’s not much of an angry guy; he’ll not yell at you or hit you. But you never know what he’ll do next, fun to be around with.

Kerala, where he hails from, and Goa, his alma mater, could be called the two important places in his life. Now that he’s in a town called Moodbidri, pursuing Engineering with the rest of us hopeless souls, his photography skills emerged glowing as well. Photography, is one more thing he keeps on doing all the time, except from facebooking (he claims to have left facebook, to be social in real life, but we all know you are here :P) and tweeting from his Nokia Lumia 710. A brilliant photographer, I might add. AJ knows exceptionally everything about cameras, lenses and light. And whenever he starts with his camera (macros, lenses numbers) and all that kinds of shit, I silently pray to god, asking him to bless my worthless, ignorant soul. When it comes to music, its trance and David Guetta all the way. His page AJ|Photography on facebook is doing quite the buzz these days, with excellent snaps doing the rounds of his page.

Well, there are still 3 years for engineering to carve our lives, and till we stay together, I’m sure I’ll learn some new shit from you, my friend. Peace. J

Back to civilisation

So,  I’m back to my natural self. Blogging and engineering, I was not active for the past few months, and I’d rather not give reasons. The sole reason I wouldn’t blog was because I was lazy, and this particular, two days before exams, I blog. Its funny how during exams, almost anything could turn interesting. Till now, I had a fair deal of no blogging, but from now, things are going to change. I solemnly vow to blog every single day, so as to improve my vocabulary and writing skills, which would be inadvertently  useful for my future endeavours and also for you readers if you think so. Now, that I’ve started writing again, I wonder how many people I’ve to write, there’s this friend who keeps on telling me to blog every now and then, and then he suddenly stopped pursuing. Another one of my friends wants me to write a testimonial which I’m more than glad to write about, but as I said earlier, Laziness could get on your nerves, but now is out of my nervous system. So, here I blog, henceforth. Keep reading people. J

Are electrons humane?

Our lecturer says, electrons are indistinguishable particles and are all alike. We cannot distinguish electrons one from the other, and all travel with the same velocity. He somehow related it to us students saying that, we all have different faces and all of us can be distinguished but this is not the case in electrons. We cannot distinguish them. At that very moment it hit me, we are all of the same species i.e. humans and so is the lecturer, and that is the sole reason he can distinguish between me, and the guy sitting two benches ahead of me because only the same species has the power to differentiate sub species among themselves. Likewise, I hereby assume that none of the electrons are alike, and they can be distinguished only by electrons and not humans. Its sheer common sense, if aliens or for that matter electrons cannot differentiate humans, how can it be done so the other way round? Like there are male and female genders of the human species, there could be such genders in the electrons as well. You just can't see it because you are not an electron, and you were not meant to see it. If you were an electron, you could have distinguished the Obama and Osama Bin Laden of electrons and also their velocities within a matter of time. Perspective changes everything and the way we analyse as well. Food for thought for my dear lecturers and all the fellow readers. Keep reading people.

The Silent Debate Debacle

So I blog again, after a really long time, as I had to express my words to somebody or atleast somewhere after staying quiet on the stage in front of 200 people, there are thoughts humans develop in their brains and they ought to express it to prevent their brain from degrading. So, it goes like this.

Yesterday, I was sitting in the very first lecture while I was called out of nowhere and asked whether I would attend an Inter college fest, representing the college for debate. Its true, I had gone to another college for debate but didn't get into the finals solely because it was the first time I was participating in a debate competition. Now here was my second chance waiting for me just a stone's throw away. I accepted the offer and went to MVSIT's Fest Splash'12. The most disappointing thing about this college would be that we have to travel atleast a kilometre from the main National Highway to reach the college. The infrastructure of the college was good with scanty drinking water supply. It was nowhere as close to the fest I attended at NITTE. That was one awesome fest and NITTE was the place where for the very first time I understood what debate was all about. So getting back to MVSIT. We cleared the preliminary round with unprecedented ease and I was pretty confident that we could make it to the First prize until I heard that I had to speak on stage in front of a hundred people!!

The long lost nightmare of stage fear sprinted back to life making me vulnerable to its mercy. We had to speak against the topic 'Are social networking sites any good to the society?' And I jotted down all the points that I had to. I tell you, I am really good at jotting points down and writing stuff, but when it comes to speaking the same stuff I jotted down a minute earlier or for that matter any other stuff, I blurt out stupid things and make the most stupidest of mistakes in English Grammar which I would dare not even make in my dreams! And thats' what happened on stage, I spoke for the first 30 seconds making a hell lotta errors and stammering and slurring and god knows what! My partner spoke really well for the rest of the eleven and a half minutes! I was a sitting duck on the stage. For the next few hours and even now, I am trying to convince myself that I am not good at arguing (which i am actually not) reasoning that I was just not the debate kind of person. I stick to what I find is correct and not according to chits telling me to speak for OR aagainst something. I know, that's my silly excuse at embarrassment and I want to do better at speaking on stage, but not sure how.. Well readers, If you could help me, kindly do so. That's about it for today and I'll make it a point to blog more often now :P Alright people! :)

The day before yesterday!

Well well, so I am back to continue my four year engineering journey after my very first semester vacation terminated with me stranded in the bus five hours at a stretch and one and half hour later in the middle of nowhere which is apparently supposed to be the Pune Expressway. This was the second time I was ready to travel in a bus for 17 hours straight. The first time the twelve wheeler was two hours late which wasn't much as compared to right now. The bus though being Volvo multi axle and all for that "sleep like a baby" tagline all thanks to KSRTC Airavat. Well, one has to sleep like a baby anyways with legs folded in a peculiar fashion. While they said sleep like a baby, I guess they literally meant it!

The second journey was rather accompanied with this downfall after the coolant which is supposed to keep the engine cool broke down and it took five hours for drivers acting as engineers to make the bus work and move around ten more miles to a official Volvo garage at the middle of a night where the guy who was working on this huge machine had no idea how to fix this thing but was acting as if he invented Volvo!(That would be the largest sentence I have ever written) Plus what astonished me was the passengers were really calm except this one guy ahead of me who from his speaking could be easily made out as an outcome of one of these "English speaking classes" from this particular sentence of his,"No boss, no any vehicle passing". I wonder why the boss did not correct the employee's mistake. I bet he doesn't work for a BPO.

The next day was peaceful but the hostel was a mess. After three hours of intense cleaning, my room could be actually called "clean". So today is the first day of college and I am here blogging during the break while most of my friends are bunking the next half of the day. I wonder why I am sitting the lectures being "Kannada" and "Constitution of India and Ethics". I guess I have to find out.

That's it for today.
Keep Reading people. :D

Fashion street? Seriously?

Well, after a really long time I am back to do some blogging. Well these few months I had no access to a proper internet connection in the god forsaken town of Moodbidri. Well, even if I had got a proper net connection I had no time. Engineering was taking a toll on me. Now that my semester is over and I am home I have lots of time to kill and hence here I am writing about stuff.
Well, I did a lot of shopping with my friends today. Not a lot exactly. If the "roaming around the mall just like that" time isn't considered, I would have had a whole day to spare. Well apart from the mall, shopping in FS(Fashion Street :P) was time consuming. Well its around a kilometer stretch of salesmen trying from their heart, and crying out their hearts to sell clothes and all kinds of accessories
The thing about fashion street is when you ask for the price initially they would quote an exhorbitantly high price and if you buy that stuff for that price then you would be the biggest fool in the world after some greater fool that is. Well the foreigners are literally fooled to death out there if they don't know bargaining. I bought a pair shoes for 270 bucks which was initially 950 according to the over persuasive salesman who was calling me his brother! But then the bargaining factor was beneficiary, not to the salesman as much. One of my other friends was called by the salesman, and was asking him showing a clothe," Should I pack this for you?" Seriously shopkeepers are desperate to sell there. Another guy was selling "Original" Puma, Levi's, Reebok and Espirit for 100 bucks.

Its a good place to buy stuff if you know to bargain or else you are a chicken going to a butcher.
If you really don't know to bargain, go to pantaloons or big bazaar during a festive season. Its worth, except the crowd isn't.

Keep on Reading people. :D
