| I had written this about my favourite topic "religion". I just found it somewhere. Posting it now. Hope u like it. Sorry if i hurt any religious sentiments. Hey i know long time no c. But this is how i am " LAZY". I really appreciated a certain Mr. sara n goof who have been blogging regularly. ok let me start off. Now believe me folks I have no problem with faith. It s hard to imagine that there is no higher power governing this universe. So u fear that power and blah blah blah. I am comfortable with that, no issues. But then when things take a communal turn because of ppl getting fanatic about religion, it really pisses me off. Keep ur religion in ur home or rather in ur closet. Don't impose it unto others. Show tolerence not beligerence towards a fellow human being. Think about it and leave ur comments | ||

Be Cool
Have you lost your cool recently? think about the reason. Was it worthwhile? I am sure that you will anwer yes for the former and no for the latter. More ppl r getting angry easily these days. y can t everyone exercise a little patience. Y do ppl need to yell so much?
Off late evryone s temper level is rising. Ppl get angry more easily. I think it has got to do with the stresses in ones life. The worst part about the situation is that its like a chain reaction. If one person is angry the others dont try to calm him down, instead they too get angry and start howling. this eventually leads to lots of misunderstandings,fights and eventual souring of the relationships.
According to me any person has a threshold level. A person gets angry only if u push him beyond this threshold. Now its very important where we place our personal anger threshold. We need to balance this threshold such that we dont place it too low and get angry easily or place it too high and never get angry at all. we need to kno wen to get angry and wen not too. When you push a person to the threshold all it takes is to control ur anger for that brief period of time. When the moment passes there wil b no anger left. :). Sounds simple but hard to implement as we all know.
The problem withmost ppl tode is that they have a very low threshold of anger these days. its frustrating to get yelled at all the time. But if u respond where is it going to end. I suggest that ppl shud go away from the place wen someone is angry. y blow ur head off too and regret it later. if we get more patient i think we will have lesser fights. Most fights in the world or avoidable.
Let us all try to be a lil more patient from now on. I think we will need a more peaceful and blissful life. Tell me about ur expiriences with anger.

Tiring day
What a day? it might not b the most tiring day of life but ranks pretty high. It was a also a day of added frustrations, though finally it ended with some good news :).
Today was our proj demo day. we were supposed to be showing our code to to our profs. After a long time of struggling with the code, we had finally got it working (all thanks to goof). We were pretty confident bout it ( a bit over confident i might say). We had done significantly more work than wat our LRDE guide had asked us to do. We generally wasted the morning commenting the code n fooling around. With full confidence we called prof. Ananda babu (AB) n our beloved prehistoric, Rukmini (unfortunately our internal guide) for the demo.
Fully confident that we gonna get some "wah wah!!!!!!" from them we went ahead n showed our code. Then we got hit by nothing less than a nuclear bomb. AB was nt really happy with wat we had done. We had made the best out of the limited guidance we had in a rather difficult fieldof adaptive beam forming to get decent results. but he expected us to have done more. The most hilarious part of the whole incident is that he refused to understand what we had done and kept on forcing his ideas on us (he has worked in the field). He had a problem with one our graph for which i gave a reasonable explanation and he was satisfied. He also asked to implement this set of insanely complicated algoithms (k I am exageratting a bit) within the next 2 days we r left with. Luckily he was better than Ruku who went on flapping around like a fish out of water. She wanted to yell at the LRDE guy bcoz according to her he exploited us. h eh eh e. i cant help but grin at this. We were almost on the verge of killing her, she shud have been long dead neways.
Now our man goofy the gr8 drops the second bomb of the day. He tells me that the explanation that i gave for the graph might not be r8 for the graph we have plotted. Now this was serious news. This could ruin our entire proj. We were all stunned. Belted Ruku n AB n every other person in this world. Thought of all possible solutions. Got off full tension. Only thing we dint do is pee in our pants. So we decided to go work om the prob immediately. But as luck would have it the labs were occupied by our juniors for there scheduled lab. There was no use staying back so we decided to go home n start working. We were itching to get done with the work. As I dont have Matlab I decided to go to either goof or DD s place. I decided to go to DD s place coz neways we needed to start working on our report.
DD stays in indranagar and our college is on mysore road. It is 25 kms to his house. We catch 2 buses and 1 n a half hours later we r at DD s place. As soon as we land ther Goof calls n says our graph adhering to the explanation I had given to AB. What it essentially meant was that there was no necessity to go all the way to DD s place. Ok so we decide to work on the report and guess what happens; power failure. Now I thought I have come al the way here anyways so I decided to stay back till the power came back. It is freaking hot in blore these days and I almost got half baked due to the heat. Finally after an hour chit chatting and eating some snacks the power came n we started working. We cut pasted a few paragraphs from an older article and did q lil work n then realised that DD does nt have too much material on the stuff we need and plus he does nt have net. So we decided to call it a day and I left his place at 6, which was much earlier than the time i was supposed to leavehis place.
I reach the bus stop walking. There very few buses from there to my place, so even though the bus which came along eventually was totally crowded I got into it. Then began one of the worst expiriences of my life. I have kinda started enjoying my recent bus journies across the city but today was living hell. At the very next stop a zillion ppl got into the bus. There were ppl literally hanging onto the bus. I was smashed between an array of ppl whom I cud nt see or dint bother to notice. As i mentioned earlier the merscury is soaring. Everyone were sweaty and smelly and pushing each other. I almost felt like puking when standing next to this gentleman who had a horrible stench around him. I had no idea that my body cud be twisted into the many shapes it was twisted into on the bus. Finally lady luck decided that I had enuf for the day I guess. I got the most priced posesssion in the bus, an empty seat. :D. My joy knew no bounds. The rest of the journey was less unpleasant. I finally reached home walking from the bus stop at 8.30. Totally exhausted.
I would' nt like to have more days on the same lines. I am a rather lazy person and hope I this was a one off expirience. But I am happy to note that the proj is almost done. we might try one or more algorithms just to pleae AB. But what code we have now is good enuf as such.

Misunderstandings.
Whats with the ppl around me? They always tend to misunderstand me. I mean I can't understand how innocent gestures of mine are twisted in a such a way that I end up being potrayed as an evil fiend. Let me tell you y i think so.
I meet (rather saw) this girl X at a friend s party. I don't talk to her nor does nebody introduce me to her. Ya, I am the sort of guy who usually talks to ppl only after being properly introduced. Neways next I see her in a coll fest. Again I dnt show ne special interest in her especially as I was preoccupied with someone special over there ;). X herself talks to me for a bit. After this i see her again in some other coll fest. Again she talks to me generally , so i respond.
So the situation at this point was that I knew her name n I knew that she was a friend of my friend. She also seems to be a sweet person. Except for this I had no clue about who she was? While scrapping our common friend I see that she is also a member of orkut and so I add her as a friend and i leave a coupla scraps on her scrapbook. Now I dnt know nething bout her, which coll,? how does my friend kno her? nothing. So I decently ask my friend " hey buddy who is this girl?". He asks me to ask another friend. :P. Ok fortunately the other friend is also online. So i buzz n ask him who she is? but apparently our dude gets pleasure from being online n not being around the comp. So he does nt reply.
Being the cocky guy I am I got sudden enthu n thought wat the hell neways no one is teling me bout her y not i ask her myself, so i left her a scrap saying " hey y haven t u put up a pic." She replies saing i dnt have one. So i say " Oh u dnt have a snap. K u shud have told me I wud have taken a snap on my cell n sent it to u. n hey tel me more about urself i hardly kno u." I wrote this with honest intentions.
The repercussions were hardly nething I expected. Apparently she thought I was hitting on her. She tells my dear friend. He scraps me saying "what da hitting on chick n all". I dint realize who he was talking about immediately but later realized what has happened. Now this left me totally confused. I mean can't a guy get to know a girl just like that. I was confused whether the way I frame sentences gives that impression or its just ppl misunderstanding me. This incident is not the first though, I mean as mentioned in my previous blog there was a HUGE misunderstanding wen I had tried to ask this girl out for a party.
All this has put me in a spot of bother. Should I change being who I am, or should atleast change how I talk or how I express myself. Leave ur comments n of course u can recall any similar incident that u have had to face.
N ppl dnt ask me who that girl is coz i ain't telling u n please dnt go probing into my scrapbook, its of no use I have deleted the relevent scraps :).

Season of love
Hey ppl,
Believe me it most definitely is the season of love. After years of inactivity in my friend s group, largely due to the fact that we r doing engineering, ther is lot of lovvvvvvvvvvvely activity going on. I don't know whether this is a harmonal thing or whether it is because we r maturing or some crap like that. But I know for sure that in the past year most of my friends have found a partner for themselves. Including urs truely. It is really fascinating to think about it you know.
Let me start of by explaining the situation before this whole thing started. All my friends belonging to different groups were single. Don't ask me for the reason, there are many to give I guess, but nothing wil explain why "ALL" of us were single. Everywhere we went we went like one stupid gay group, gawking at the girls [not that we have stopped it now]. We used to struggle finding ladies to go with us to the Discos. We were pathetic. Not that we din't try at all. But every effort we made ended in a disaster. We were lucky that none of us got slapped in the process :P. I myself had a really bitter expirience trying to call a girl out for a date n also proposed to a girl 7 times before giving up :D. But we also had over share of freedom, the time to meet each other often , speak our mind out without anyone getting offended n stuff. That was fun.
But all this changed about an year back. I don't know whether we guys became more attractive or the girls just got dumber, but all of a sudden everyone started finding girls interested in them. It is so funny that the last time a group of us friends had gone out for a vacation we were all single n this time wen we went to kerala all of us were hooked. Everyone had a girlfriend. The situaton was comical at times n irritating at others with most of us clamoring for the phones to stay in touch with our girls. Now today I hear one more close friend of mine is hooked.. I just cant believe it. 100% of my friends were single an year ago and now 60% of them r hooked. I mean what are the odds of that happening? I can't explain this if anyone can please leave a comment. There is also the usual changes that can be seen, we have become more busy, lesser time for us boys to meet etc etc. But I don't think anyone of us is complaining. We r having the time of our lives and don't mind the added baggage at all.
So congratulations guys lets celebrate the season of love and all the best to everyone who has not found someone yet.
