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
