With an hour wasted on tweaking the new template for this blog and enchanted by the new blogger I hope that I will post here more often.

PS: Its not a new year resolution.
PPS: It took me three edits to write a single line of post. This points to my blogging abilities nowadays.

No longer a Faccha

2010-07-24T14:03:00.001+05:30

Finally in second year.. Quite a mixed bag was the first year at IIT and most importantly Vindy academically and non-acads too.. so whatever currently just feeling shitty after seeing my hostel once again in its third room for me, a room without a socket for current and non working LAN connections in our rooms, arbit rooms for everyone but then also feel quite a relaxed at vindy, definitely not will be the case from mondays when the classes start.

Well talking of the first year, life can be very boring here if you want, and don't quite feel amused in just movies and stuff which all the freshers do mostly, but if you choose you can just have the most different feeling in the first year of your stay at the college hostel. Just don't want to go in details of my life here as it is not a five point some one story going here with everyone.
Don't quite feel the difference of not being the faccha in the first two days of my stay here as a second yearite.
I just can't scribble more, feeling like hell in my head.

Anyways see you later

After ages

2010-06-25T17:42:00.000+05:30

After ages I am posting here. Things haven't changed a lot. But first why all of a sudden I decided to post in between my chillest holiday of my life. Actually just now I saw the analytics report for this blog and that inspired me to write, write anything but right now. 765 unique visitors from 18 countries with average time on site above 6 mins in the last year can make someone who write for 10-20 local readers write at that instant no matter how lazy he is feeling.

So talking of changes the only big change is the summer vacation. And another sweet big change can come in very near future, will write about that then only.

2010-04-06T18:21:00.000+05:30

The title of the post is the result of my busy hour during my CSL102 practical class, just Google it, I did the same and the result was exact, the meaning of the word fully relevant to why and what I did. Guess my second search, it was as obvious for me as was to many other 'getting bored' ones. To save you from opening Google and searching here's one of the meaning of the word :

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm rate this definition:
(Noun) The order of the letters on a keyboard. Also typed into a google search engine when an average human being is extremely bored and/or makes it look like he/she is doing work. The human being was then very surprised at the fact that there really were results. Upon reading this definition, the human will then type in mnbvcxzlkjhgfdsapoiuytrewq to see if there are anymore results.

And the third one was.. 'asdfghjkl' and this time not to my surprise yielded hundreds of thousands of results. Well the reason given the meaning above might not be completely true but what exactly can be thought as the reason is that 'you have a lot to do but can't figure out where to start from', the same was the case with me, given the arbit manufacturing project with a non achievable deadline due to thermo quiz, god knows how graphic designing came in Java before learning how to add two numbers, NSS hours, making others write articles for the magazine... whatever everyone has problems ad I'm not here to fill you with mine but it is always good to hear others problems as it makes you feel a bit chilled about you own.

Finally

2010-03-28T23:40:00.000+05:30

finally Blogger gave the facility to create standalone pages different form blog posts giving the bloggers the facility to make 'about' 'contact' etc pages in their blogs.I'm loving it, but making use of the new feature will make me redesign the whole blog template, you know look matters ;). Anyways if you are interested have a look on this page.

Me-Politician

2010-03-26T01:38:00.000+05:30

It was the last thing I might have though I would write ever.. but everything is possible at IITD. Don't know from where I nominated for two posts simultaneously, one Hostel Representative for Board for student publication another one is Class Convenor of Mech department. Did my first campaigning to 4 hostels by individually meeting all "voters", but as everyone knows everything is decided by "upar se" because of which I saw one strong contender withdrawing, God know till tomorrow what will be my situation for Class convener. As far as BSP rep is concerned my opposite contender's name is also 'Abhishek' and this is going to create a hell lot of problems for me. Last hope ray is "Abhishek Priyam". In exam's MCQ people make mistakes like not reading options carefully, what's the guarantee it will not be the case here.
Well lets hope for the best.
I am not giving details of political stuff going here in this blog but have given in my so called IIT related blog Kantap.

Will let you know the results soon.. Wish me Luck..

So much to say

2010-03-02T00:46:00.004+05:30

Theres so much to say right now but don't have the time to do so. No I am not busy in some project hanging down my throat(but it should have been so but we postponed it to next Tryst) or an assignment due over date its just that I am at home, doing nothing and that is the thing which leaves me with no time to say so much. 'Home' the word feels more majestic in the midsems.

Holi had its own experiences, this year an unusual one, no water colors in the morning, no tearing of Temna's shirts, no chaotic holi at Lakeview just a peaceful gulal in the evening. What has happened to me. I said you there is so much to say about the change in today's holi.

Spoon after I made buttermilk:

Thats why I said theres so much to say but not enough time.

The 'Holika dahan', the day before Holi was a start to my midsem break. Our pile of woods was bigger than all the previous years and the little midnight 'meal' beside the fire was awesome.As I said there is so much to say about the 'meal'.

Don't know how I started to have the 'missing' feeling so strongly today. Again as said earlier theres so much to say about the 'missing feeling'.
It seems quite funny how I just tried to skip specifying missing something or someone by just mentioning the 'missing feeling'.

I also have much to say about the mosquitoes(?) which are biting me while trying to let you convince that I have much to say about but not enough time to do so.

Anyways I will try to convey all which I have to say in the next post when I'll have time. A bit funny I'm mentioning about having time in full fledged IIT Delhi schedule with Tryst and minor 2 round the corner. Lets see.
By the way, Happy Holi

Kantap

2010-02-11T08:27:00.001+05:30

Along with Kunal and Bani planned to start a blog 'kantap' with 3 authors but blogger is preventing us from starting it, is not allowing them to accept my request to become an author despite the fact that Google is saying that from my computer it seems spam requests are coming because of my long hit and try attempts to customize kantap because I have lost my way with customizing blogs after april 09 when I did it on 8-9 blogs. But now at least the template is ready. Lets see when they can accept my request.

Also you might think whats this 'kantap'(spellchecker is also continuously underlining it) actually we tried permutations of KKNBAP(Kunal Kauhsal, Neelesh Bani, and Abhishek Priyam) but din' hit the luck, finally decided of kantap(has a K of KK, N of NB, and AP of AP) Yeah it seems a bit arbit, but that's democracy, I first kept the blog as iitdwala but the two of them voted against it so here we are with Kantap (Kantap.blogspot.com)

and as far as I am concerned minor I is over, and we are preparing for Rube Goldberg competition in Tryst, next Tryst Robotics.

A well deserved weekend

2010-01-22T20:25:00.001+05:30

After a full fledged week here there's a lot to write or say shout about, Mind crushing from 8am to 4 pm with an hour break for lunch three days a 5 day week is enough to make one feel out of the world and this is why an IIT hostel orkut community is preceded by the following message:

Warning

Interesting huh!! and that turns out to be my hostel the great 'Footy Gold Vindy', yeah got gold maybe for the first time in football and yeah sorry community membership is moderated so you might not be able to see the contents.

today evening for the first time saw an IIT prof telling(to an IIM alumni) he teaches in that classroom, God knows 'why'?
There's more to write about, but its Friday night and I'm not in a mood....

Walking distance

2010-01-16T00:43:00.000+05:30

"Just Walking distance" the word which can prove a real mess, world has come real close with fb, 4 friends sittin on fb can make an unlikely treat plan from anyone on any reason and this time that 'one' was me and walking distance was Green park, just reached 5 mins before closing, were served a cold 'treat', and can't miss to tell the closed huge gate of colony with no one to open it and nowhere to go expect to trespass it.
And a guy not being 'honored' in his b'day in hostel is a real unlikely event to happen, but everything is possible with a crying face and pseudo-illness.

"yaar usko kya marun rone wala muh bana lega"

"Bimar ho jata hai har time pitne wale din"

Just nothing more for now.

Burn it

2010-01-10T01:05:00.042+05:30

So after some stimulus I am here to jot down my first post for the year 2010. This one for my new reader. :) In between:

!!Happy New Year!!

Burn It!!
"Its not that no one can sniff in your online life but its because they either don't have resources or time to do so"
Today after attending a small talk on 'ethical' hacking in Bharti Building, huh!! a 5 star departmental building in front of our ancestral buildings, and they say that institute don't do discrimination on the grounds of branch, every branch is equal,disgusting.
So coming on point which I must do because of my heavy eyes in this chilly Delhi midnight. I think just diluting the term ethical in ethical hacking, the speaker had said a little over to let everyone know how to compromise others account, but thanks God majority of listeners can't do that even after listening the step wise approach to 'steal'.
And to add to my feelings about phishing chrome and safari in my laptop are not identifying their certificates, and Firefox just don't want to take the headache of asking proxy password each time but is keeping it remembered despite of the face that it is customized not to save login details. Who has compromised my system or is it just some lucky coincidence.
Now after knowing the simplicity of it, just logging in email account has become an adventure. :D
So why 'Burn it'?

Those were the days..

2009-12-24T21:04:00.000+05:30

Those were the days of IIT preparation. You might be surprised that everyone hates those days and want to pass those at the earliest. But in nov-dec 08 we had a splendid time discussing questions and arbit talks at targetiit.com. Actually I was just going through past posts at the forum and was quite pleased to read those again and the time came in-front of my eyes. It all started by the post http://targetiit.com/iit-jee-forum/posts/some-must-see-problems-155.html my one of the earliest posts there.
other posts which i currently browsed:

Enchanted?

2009-12-19T00:18:00.004+05:30

First of all, how the hell chrome is running IE style, a real messed up. huh!! maybe I have to restart the browser but I don't want to do that as I will have to log in again, and to add digital persona don't work with chrome...Well I would have to bear characters appearing after another set of characters have been typed.Oh I don't need to bore you with these..
Now unlike my last post in this I should talk something related to title of the post or else everyones faith on titles will be gone.. :D I know silly joke...

So after reading my friends blog post about Paa, I started thinking which was the last film I watched... and the answer came:

'Enchanted' Yeah you guessed it right, the fairy tale (:-o)thanks to my cousin who made me sit through the movie.. again that old fairy tale with the happy ending with only difference the princess not marrying his prince charming but another one. Leave it.. everyone knows the good old fairy tale.. all are same I suppose, and yeah watched Kung-fu Panda... I know I should have watched it earlier... but then I came to know from where my brother had written his orkut status message:'Yesterday is history tomorrow is mystery but today is a gift, thats why its called present'

New addition..

2009-12-17T12:06:00.000+05:30

Now to cut through long posts (Don't know how many long posts I'll be able to write though) I've added Show/Hide button, a small Java script code for it.
If you want to add this to your blog just write a line in comment...
Testing......

testing...testing...testing...testing...testing...testing...
testing...testing...testing...

Not going to write a long post without any meaning now...

dying orkut

2009-12-15T13:34:00.009+05:30

I don't know about others but for me it seems it is dying despite of the new revival technique by Google "New Orkut".
Whatever blogging after such a long time has a different feeling, my typing speed has also decreased considerably, thanks to spell checker of chrome not many spelling mistakes, because of long term distance from writing real lines. Huh!! have given exam and completed a sem, but never encountered a need to write a complete line.
Results? not got it till date, although they are out on 3rd dec but have left college on 31st only. does anybody need a reason to stay away from 'any time fall' hostel. Return date - a big issue, registration on 2nd jan, a compuksory task if you want to study 2nd sem, no idea about its importance, my first in IITD. So keeping in mind the time table of Indian rails have to celebrate new year on train.
So.. lets see when I'll get time to write another post during most sleepy time in resent years - a month 'winter' break from the 5 point someone's schedule.. huh!!
I know there is no relevance of title of the post to the post except the first line.

Save "IIT"

2009-10-02T09:20:00.005+05:30

Why save IIT and from whom is the first thought which will come up in anyone's mind who has not keeped up with save IIT drive by the faculty forum of IITs.
Well its all about the HRD's plan to so called better the system and bring other universities and colleges as par with IIT(why not bring IIT down to their level? huh!!)
Apart from the pay(a small problem) HRD has imposed many new fundas apart from setting IITs as mushrooms here and there as a step to bring IIT down to other colleges.

Firstly a Phd will have to have 3 years experience fro becomiong a prof here. Seems a good idea huh!! because of this we will get experienced teachers. Not only this but also they will be on contract basis that is after 2-3 years they will be made permanent so for 2-3 years they have to prove themselves before becoming permanet professor here. So where's the problem? why save IIT?

beacuse given a fresh Phd from some good university...why wil he/she come to IIT when pay is less, job insecurity, and also some bright minds will be absorbed by universities which demand no job experience. Why put these conditions when IIT has its own strict recrutiment policy which doesn't allows not up to the mark profs.

These all wil only make a scant of good profs. Also there are many other unreasonable restrictions. For this read:
Indiaedunews

Some thoughts of various students and profs.
Sanjeev Sanghi(our applied mech prof):“As per the Ministry’s notification, only 40 per cent of professors can be promoted to the senior grade. We can’t accept this cap since we believe that all our professors are competent. We have never had such a cap in the system. They why have it now,”

faculty forum president S.S. Murthy:“Several positions in the old IITs are vacant. We are unable to attract faculty because we do not have a decent pay package. After passing out, an IIT student gets a minimum of Rs. 6 lakh per annum. That’s more than an assistant professor’s salary,”

Now some voice of the young:
Saumya Gupta(IIT Kgp student):"The HRD ministry has gone crazy..."

Mrinal Ayush :"The HRD ministry was always crazy yaar. its just getting crazier every day"

Minors

2009-09-16T11:15:00.003+05:30

Minors as thought by anyone in kgp or kpur is just like their quizzes and their monstrous exam called midsem is far great headache than our minors. And with great thanks to profs responsible for our courses they have not made first minor at IITD a nightmare. All papers damn simple.
But their are a few sorry a majority who are the result of mistake of Kota who forcibly came to an IIT(one made to mug the hell up for two years without going to school which is supposed to be a place for overall development) find the place a hell of a institute to cope up with.

A few examples:
A computer sc. student don't know what is pen drive and don't know how to use a mouse.
An electrical student constantly keeping his percentile below 1 yes 1

A student when it comes to anything other than mugging or doing praciced stuff starts feeling the heat.(A simple topic like ED... just drawing projections of line planes solids... )

Whatever, when one finds he/she can not survive the acads pressure here(I mean just perform as he/she used to do when was in School or Kota) starts to fool himself by saying acads are less important you have to do well in extra currics for a good resume...(:-0 how they are thinking of a resume with percentile less than 1 and being a so called stud in a sport.. mind you some of they are stud here because they are here when they face outside they came to know what studapa is in that field...
'kunwe ka mendhak')

A student of so called elite branch( :P i mean CS) "Here I am getting below class average whereas in Kota I use to get thrice the class avaeragae in 'A1'"(I think you know A1)

another elite IITian in his orkut profile:"I am studying Compsuter science - the elite IITians"

And yes forgot to mention 80% students here have seen orkut gmail gtalk facebook for the first time here.. :P and forget about twitter.. many have asked me what is it. :D

So what I mean to say is you can only get benefits of this huge government investment if you really deserve to be here.
"You don't buy the seat here you earn it"

See you all in next post. bbyee

Hostel @ IITD

2009-08-16T15:34:00.003+05:30

First when I reached here.. keeping in mind the facilities of MMM of IIT Kgp. when I saw my hostel- my room.. mere pairo ke niche se jamin khisak gayi.... a very small single room jisme two students ko dal rakha tha... only 2 beds a compure table... with no schair neither study table... To work on comp table u have to sit on bed...

for 40 odd students 3 bathrooms... and usme bhi water subah 2 ghante se jaada nahi rahta... and after few days water 10 min se jada nahi rahta...

This is the condition @ IITD

Note: Now 24 hr water supply :) but not on our floor but on the floor below.. so now 60 students 3 bathroom and class @ 8 am.

More about seniors and interaction in next blog.

Lingo @ IITD

2009-08-03T09:58:00.003+05:30

The lingo here is mast..
Famous in many colleges here.. college ke first student publication me specially lingo diya hai for fachhas to become aquanted with it.

Some are:
one which u might hav noticed.. facchas/fachhis : refers to freshers
attachee : one not alloted a hostel and stays in his house.
fight : problem
insti : institute
windt : wind tunnel
vindy : vindhyacha house (jai vindy !! :P)
facka : a 'F' grade
satti, aathi, nahli, dassi : refers to numbers given in tests.
basky : basket ball.. baddie: badminton.. lawn T: lawn tennis
janta : general people present not relate to discussed event

and many more..... Just shorten a word and its lingo here...

Next post @ IITD

2009-07-14T22:49:00.002+05:30

I think before writing the next post I'll be sitting in IITD Hostel thinking about everything.... leave it..

Finally I got that five point some one branch. God knows why the majority are impressed by the book. May be Neha factor.. :P But I can't torture me reading the whole hell out of that book completing what I left at kgp station returning from the counselling, but the 6 hour late train compelled to read half.

Excited about what will happen next.. given only "two gals" in my mech batch. Bhola enquired about some external girls hostel near IITD.(naam sirf bhola hai.. ;) Mansih G trying to make a design on his plain T-shirt.(Well Manish ke aage parle G,Junior G wala G nahi Ji..hindi wala hai.. :P as he used to say aap to all class mates..)Gaurav a.k.a Girdih ke sede baba following latest fashion... everything has changed dramatically since the last school day..

Too many questions before joining the institution (jaane ke baad sayad ye insti ban jaye.. lol )obvious for a first year... answers are no where to be found..

Lets see aage kya hota hai..

Train to Howrah-2

2009-05-23T17:07:00.006+05:30

Opsie!! Forgot to mention the main point about the Kolkata visit in my last post. I gave all details but forgot this...

When returning, at the Howrah Station as usual there was rush.. At platform 21(I think) we were waiting (Train came at different platform though :P )> Two men were walking up down the platform. A thing was peculiar about one of them.. He had a matchbox over one of his thumb, and when one man beside us took out the wallet. He stood there and looked at it.. After some time He came and stood just behind him, keeping his match box covered thumb just near his back pocket. I think he was a pick pocket, Not because he was looking or standing that way, but when I looked at him in his eyes he just walked fastly away from there.. U know "Chor ki dadhi me tinka".

"Isliye Pocketmaro se sawdhan"

:D

Train to Howrah

2009-05-21T23:59:00.003+05:30

Don't know why those at BITSAT give center at selected places when they take exam online. Whatever, for giving the BITSAT on 18th May I have to go to Kolkata. So took a train called Hatia-Howrah. Two other friends were also there on the train... same seat number.... but of course different coach number. As usual the typical Indian boy luck... on the berth opposite was an old lady... and yes saw a mouse under my seat...

Unique co-passengers, they slept just after starting of the train within 2-3 minutes nad switched off the light and windows too.(in such a horrible temperature.. :-o) Whatever, what I could have done? I also like them slept (tried to sleep..)

After reaching Howrah(a day before test).. searching for the center was easy except when we tried to ask anyone they replied in Bengali first.. and we were blank.. but finally reached the center..(thank to a small boy near the center who told us the location). But for booking a room in a Hotel we have to return to Howrah(45 mins for a bus) as we were unable to find a Hotel near the center(may be because it was an industrial area.)
The Hotel was OK, but the water was just horrible. one can't just even brush with that water.(a big water treatment machine was there at the ground floor then also God knows why water was like that.) And coincidentally the shop opposite was selling big bottles of mineral water.(Kahi Hotel wale ke sath setting to nahi tha :P ) After a bath from hotel's water my hair just became just like broom. x-( . Enough of water tale.

And the bus we took to return from center was numbered.... guess what.. my class now past :( 12C. Next day after giving the exam( bahut bekar gaya exam.. ) returned back same day... and while returning again got seat in train having an 'Emergency Exit' window (while going also window had an emergency Exit) and to my surprise this time while coming back other passengers slept before starting of the train... and yeah saw 1 mouse again.. Why the mouse is following me.. (mew mew.. now hope it wil not follow) :D

Finally Knight riders won!!

2009-05-19T15:09:00.005+05:30

Finally after 12 matches. KKR managed to win a match on their own.(Of course the team just above them has more than double points than what KKR has just now). But the point is as T20 World cup is coming Brendon and Hodge returned to their form not a good news for India, given India's performance record against New-Zealand. And oppositely Yusuf playing well for RR but for India... lets wait and watch.

Most unhappening days!!

2009-05-16T00:03:00.001+05:30

Al most all exams are over. BITSAT left and will be over by Monday. Tomorrow I'll leave for Kolkata. God knows why the people at BITS keep centers at a few places although test is online. :(

Time has stopped for me. For time pass I started another blog PhysicsView. But as usual I took interest in designing the template not in posting :P. But hopefully I will keep posting problems there. My tech blog got 10 readers. I am happy for the number to reach 2 digits. :) But hoping the number to grow more. But I don't know what I'll do if the number grows as per expectations.:P Some posts proved useful to Ankit for his blog MathHub. Thats a good blog as well. I become a follower of it. ;)

Tomorrow (sorry today its 10 min past midnight ;) the result of the politicians will be out. Once in a five year they have to face this situation which is faced by us students many times a year. With no party getting clear majority... India will again move in reverse gears of development. :(
But one thing interesting...that is the opinions of the small parties about BJP and congress.If congress gets 180 odd seats and BJP 130 odd then small parties will say:

"hamlog desh me dharmnirpeksh sthir sarkar banae ke liye aur sampradayik takato ko desh ki bafdoe se dur rakhne ke liye kisi ka sath de sakte hai"

And they will support congress to form govt. But if case is reverse i.e. BJP getting 180 odds and congress 140s then their statement:

"Ham deshbhakta party jo desh ka vikas kar sake unke sath hai. BJP ek rastra hit me sochne wali party hai. jisme kuch neta sampradayik hai jinpar control ke liye hum unke sath hai"

Ab dekhte hai kal(aaj) kya result hota hai.

Ab kal saam me BITS ke liye jana hai. And after that I'll be free.... wiase 12th april ke baad se hi free hain.. had not opened a single book after that.. :P
