Mallige Hoovu

Oh Yes!

They were the "mallige hoovu" types...
Ofcourse, I cant expect to find a Vogue/Cosmopolitan model,
waiting for me to drop her to office!
And neither am I Johnny Depp! I am just a plain, Su Depp :-))))

And yeah, like richie , even I am switching to Transport Services Cab.
Yahoo!, have started their transport service and richie was audibly
delighted as I spoke to him over the phone.

So last few days in my car :-).
But I really loooooooooove to drive to office...
But I hate to use indane gas to the car.
There is a developer's conference today and all the developers
have evacuated the cubicles to attend the Wireless Symposium.

Actually, I have a lot of work 2 B done.

Okay guys...see ya.

I gave a ride

to six women....from hosakerehalli bus-stop to deve gowda petrol bunk.
Their bus had broken down....and i did social service.

Some quick observations :-

1* all women were in the age group of (25 to 30)

2* all women were unmarried.

3* all women are woking in factory...Non-software.
I figured out that they were in a small scale factory
which was working on fan regulators.

Other than that I had a weekend which was .................yeah thats right.
so no use talking abt that.



Had been to Angaan a Pujabi restaurant yesterday with Sasken boyz and had
heavy food.Punjabi babes with full of eager beaver south indians and software engineers
eating Gobi Manchuri which is a dish from Punjab.
Hahaha.
Who cares....The food was amazing.Thats what mattered.

I have observed that Sunday nights the restaurants are over-crowded.
There was a stampede happening at Udupi Upahaar.At Angaan we registered
for our turn and then we got the tables.

exam pit swallows me....

Its been the worst possible exams of my life, ever......ever ever ever.

Just finished my formal methods paper. 75 marks, 2 hours. The professor was very generous, I could make out that it was an easy paper; I had studied that much. The professor even extended the time so that we had 4 hours. Now, there was me, trying to answer questions. Knowing that a paper is easy, and still not being able to get any answer right makes you feel like a .......... loser beyond compare.

So, overall, I attempted for 10+15+20+7.5 out of which I know that the 40 are pure hogwash. That leaves me with a valid 12 marks, out of which I might get around 8 or 10, making it a grand 8 out of 75....would've failed had I been in Bangalore University. (who knows what will happen here).....

So, right now, my expectations are getting so low, and so bad.....that, shucks, leave it....adar bagge maatadi prayojana illa.........bandu koodale....preeti indale....kanya serege....nanna shata teriyo.......rajaa raajaaa......jai Ravi Mama and Hamsa...

iga, web-search, PageRank seminar mugisbeku...........will this ever end......have never seen anything like grad school first semester...........and it gets incredibly worse if you have a mascochistic bent of mind and take crazy theory subjects and do your projects and seminars under hard taskmasters of professors......whew.......bye

Applications

My applications should be done by next week. Planning to app to UCSB, Pennstate, TAMU & Ohio. Hoping to get into one of UCSB or Pennstate.
I met Shylaja mam, and other lecturers. So most likely will be getting a reco from them by the end of this week, or worst case early next week. Most lecturers were friendly, other than n.g.p , who i think was busy, and so was terse :).

pit widens...

got screwed in probability and statistics too.....but thats not all

I have my Bangalore ticket booked for December 1st night. My seminar dates haven't been decided yet, my seminar report isnt ready yet (it still a long way to go there), my formal methods exam is on Sunday, and I have a term paper to submit there, before the exam itself....

so, the next two days will see my doing this.....working hard to finish my seminar report (which will have me re-reading some more papers, cuz I dont make notes after reading them the first time, and sadly, I haven't learnt from my mistakes), working like mad on my formal methods term paper, I wont concentrate too much on this, cuz its just 20% of 6 credits. The seminar is way more important cuz that decides whether I get to do my final year project with a good professor. And of course study for the formal methods exam itself.....which makes it insanely hard, cuz there are no text-books; no online tutorials, no introductory articles.....nothing!!! have to make sense of some of my illegible notes......so, thats whats coming up......the only good part is Algorithms and Probability are done......

The best part is....... I watched Mysore Mallige after a long time today......hahaha..... quite nostalgic.....to hear some Kannada amidst the usual noises that come out of such videos....esp the way she says "ri"....... couldn't make out whether she actually says "yenu andre".....

Absolute Pantatva ..

concept believe mada beku..
tumba time aytu .. avaru ivaru yeno heltare anta tale kedskota iddivi .

Know its a difficult things to accept, U feel good when You get appreciations, and thats the root cause. U go down,, when people throw your work down the drain.

Bittaki boys.. enjoyyy maadi ...

and teju .. Tumba extrapolation madta iddiya .. results baro tanka wait maaaadu...

It's been awhile

since i screwed up so badly....

woah man...i have become more careless than ever...
need to pull up my socs and try to figure out what i have lost....
hair or brains or both :-|

work is going on very haphazardly....
i never knew i was so incredibly dumb

all motivation gone down the drain....

algorithms pit

got so badly screwed in the algorithms final exam that i will be lucky if I make a BC.....for the uninitiated, the grading system goes like this.....

AA - the absolute top, the very best....contributes a 10 to your CPI (cumulative point index)
AB - up there, but not quite.......contributes 9 to CPI
BB - you aint too bad......contributes 8 to CPI
BC - you know the course's workings.....contributes 7 to the CPI
CC - you must have thought twice before taking this course.....contributes 6 to the CPI
CD - you suck....contributes 5 to the CPI
DD - rockbottom....contributes 4 to CPI
FF - gotta repeat the subject next sem....contributes 3 to CPI
FR - gotta repeat the subject next sem....contributes nothing.

Each subject has a credit value attached to it. And your overall CPI will be the sum of your credit-weighted grade-value of that semester. For example, if i get a AB in my 10-credit foundations lab, a BC in the 6-credit algorithms, a BC in the 6-credit probability course, a BB in the 6 credit formal methods course, and an AA in the the 4 credit seminar, my CPI will be proportional to 9*10 + (7+7+8)*6 + 10*4 = 262 out of 320, which gives me a grand CPI of 8.1.

Now, 8.1 is roughly the same as our 75%.....surprise surprise.....I haven't changed much.....most companies keep a campus interview cutoff of around 7.5-8.....(average CPI over 2 semesters). Microsoft keeps 9. Google might keep 9.5, and IIT throws you out if you go below 6......I dont hope to leave this place before the end of 2 years......

Thats all the answer please.....

extreemists ..

It was quite dipressing to see the kannada film stars going for a dharana.
How would deferring of a movie by 3 weeks improve the status of kannada movies ??
I mean, would a cinegoer who is watches only Hollywood movies/ Bollywood movies go to a kannada flick , in which Puneet Raj does dink chack dance ??????????
well he would always want a govinda ..

irli ..innen makkla ..my thanksgiving weekend plans are really screwed up ..boohohhhhhhh.. yella kai yettiddare ..

Yella ok.....

But our kannada film boys have suddenly become extremists....
Moi deep in thought....

birthday blues....

Thanks makla....... Missing you folks too.....

Birthday blues was at its peak this time. Bored the hell out of an international call from GD with all my depressive stories. That something is missing, something is wrong, happiness seems to be elusive etc. etc. After that, was working on some term paper that is due tonight. The guys were going over to the all night canteen and pulled the reluctant but hungry me along. And as we went downstairs to get our cycles, the four of them presented me with bottle of fine red wine!!!....

We ditched the canteen, went behind the department to a lonely bench. My swiss knife coming to the rescue, with the cork. And then.......Jahan chaar yaar.....jahan chaar yaar miljaye, wahi raat ho guzaaar....jahan chaar yaar. One of these guys is a big fan of Sharaabi and all its shayri-lyrics-songs. We had a round of wine drinking coupled with songs. And then, the mood settled in, and some happiness started to trickle from nowhere......As I was the one supposed to get drunk, I did..........singing the song.......

"agar nasha sharaaab mein hota......toh naachti bottle....."
"maikade jhoomte paimaano.....mein hoti hulchul....."

(if the high was due to the drink, the bottle would dance, bars would glow, and wineglasses would be restless)

We ended the session on "suroor" (this urdu word gets it all into great perspective).....

A birthday to remember......for motley reasons, as are all birthdays.......

HAPPY B'DAY TEJAZZWI !

:-)))



25 years .... Quarter Century!
Have fun man!

Will call you in the evening....

thumbha olle observation madidhya..nija aaga idhashtu kushi eega illa(sounds like a middle aged person who is missing his college life..alva)
mostly the reason is that avaga the goals were diff or almost non-existent..for me atleast..if u really see..ur parents are definetly happy with what u r now..
and all other ppl arnd u (who matter, ofcourse) are also happy with what u r now and where u r headed..the only person who is dissatisfied and frustrated is u...
and that is cos of not being able to meet self set goals...

Trans feeling

Has anybody been triumphant in avoiding the moments of depression to a fair extent ( apart from Richie ).

I dont remember any of us being BLISSFUL from the time we have left college.
What was so different at college. We werent doing that great at college too . We werent the toppers, nor in RECs/IITs , we were gays ( gays == no girlfriends ), and dint have deep pockets and frolic parties. We never even had a decent affair.

Looks like the idli/vada, juice, football, Microprocessors, suspenisons, movies, sudeepan mane, nagan mane, nightouts at tejus place, games at sumanths place , dhabas, goa trip, madkeri trip, the bday treats, the occassional basketball kept us happy.

The placements kicked off the sadisitic life .. ( or in my case was it PPR ) .

Logically with the independance, with the money we should have been more happier, but none of us are really happy.

yella ok feelings yaake ??

Itna sannata Kyon hain bhai ?

Well.....

I just read an interesting article from rediff.So I thought I should share that article with you guys!

http://in.rediff.com/news/2004/nov/16toilet.htm

I hope you people mark your calendars for 'World Toilet Day'.

:-)

Woolee! I can see that you are gonna be really angry at this one for me....heh....chill!

on second thoughts

We have had some high profile arrests ..
harsha mehta and the parekh .. dont know whether they were house arrested ..
I think 'evidence' determines the incarcenation level ??
If the police dint have strong enough evidence they dare not touch the seer.

Well well well . ..
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. this is really confusing ..

Controversial

In my opinion, the arrest of the seer wasnt a glaring mistake. But, the nature of arrest was indeed ridiculous. As Sudeep was pointed out, when there are exceptions already done for Uma Bharati and the Don, why not to the seer.

The plausible reasons could be.
The 'charge' against the guilty. The seer is accused of a MURDER, Uma Bharati - attempt to murder and the DOn - Well the list can be endless. I lack the legal expertise to judge the gravity of these crimes. For me all of these brace the same category.

The 'clout' the accused carries. - All the 3 mentioned by Sudeep are highly influential people and have their roots deep in the political world. The seer has a high political voltage atleast in the NDA circles. So, is this like the congress is playing very neutral to all the Criminal charges, or a little more nonchalant in this one. Do the UPF want to give a message to the minority communities that they are indeed impartial ??

Looking at the profile of the seer, the MATH he heads, the respect the seer and the MATH commands, the patronage they have, there should have been some respect shown to the seer. There should have been an 'house arrest'. The reason behind the direct jailing procedure, invloving a person of such elite and noble status, does open up a lot of questions.

Sudeep is flabbergasted and I am skeptical aobut the whole drama.

Also ,

Happy Ramzan to our muslim friends...
currently feeling very restless....
have to concentrate.

Opinion

Generally, we should not get into religious controversies,but this is somewhat provoking.
South India's most respected Hindu Math , Kanchi Mutt is a very powerful institution.I
have been there thrice.The Temple,the mutt is timeless.

Yes agreed, as the channels claim, there is a strong evidence.
BUT There is a certain decorum to be maintained before arresting the head of such a big
organisation.Not just flagrantly barging into a mutt and arresting the Swamiji while performing
a puja.Why the hell didnt they do a "house arrest" like Uma Bharati or the bombay smuggler
(on whom Nayakan was based on ? ).
Why the hell did they have to take him to Vellore jail?
He has the duties of a swamiji to be perfomed , like performing a
puja to the idols which are hundreds of years old.
How can he perform pujas in prison ? Disgusting.

And those wise people who claim that "it is a victory of the indian judicial system", do
they have any idea about the age of the Kanchi Mutt itself ? It is hundreds of years older than
Indian Judiciary System itself.

Forget the person Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati himself.
But the POSITION demands a respect.Does anybody doubt that?
And by arresting the head of one of the most powerful Mutts
of the Hindu Community, they are directly attacking the sentiments
of many, many people.And this may lead to Vendetta and it is like
inviting more trouble.Not only that.The mutts , no matter how corrupt they
are , these mutts are the symbols of our roots.Every communtity has a mutt,
has a swamiji and the mutt tries to maintain the customs which are old and
precious, no matter how SENSELESS they may seem.

And showing all this on petty yellow journalism TV stories like
"Crime Story" is the limit.

I can only hope all this has a good ending and the swamiji is innocent
of this accusation.If anything happens to the swamiji in jail, the politicians
will face the wrath of all the hindus.

back

I am back, with a whimper.
AGRE, I screwed up by answering only 55 out of 70 questions. Not that the
questions were tough, just that they were time consuming.
You need to get a score of 48-50 to be in 90+ percentile range. Score of 38 => 78%
I am quite sure of about 40-45 questions. So depends on the accuracy of the answers
of the other 10.
The paper is quite different from GATE ( less math required ). Results will be
out in another month. So need to start/finsh the SOP by then.
zeeds i knew of the aussie connection,but what is with the New Zealand trip?

cutting

I am talking a lot about Bombay, and its culture on this blog; though it seems somewhat uncalled for, it still strikes me odd each time I see something different here because I am still in India, and Bombay seems like an island here in India. With its own unique culture. Good culture.

Take the "cutting", I can give you a thousand guesses, but its hard to come up with the real meaning for this piece of popular local slang - A cutting is half a glass of tea. Just had a cutting outside the campus, in a roadside dhaba which also serves jalebi, vada-paav, and other assorted food. Another thing I found strange here is the way they prepare tender coconut to drink. Its not chopped like its done in Bangalore and other places I have seen. They actually cut it with a knife, a proper kitchen knife. I am surprised that a knife goes through the think hyde. But it does. So on and so forth.

Here's wishing Nair on his 25th birthday. Will look up his id and mail him. Did someone call up Maiyya, or mail him yesterday? I don't have his id, will have to look up the newsgroup. Need to go to Sanjay Dhaba sometime soon. It's been too long.

Richie, boli magane.....How was the exam? did you kick ass? was there enough graph theory to make you bang the desk (with your hand)? Isn't it surprisingly and pleasantly different from GATE? Anyway, do write about it. And try not to stick to your style of writing.

Me has to work on some surveys. Will get going now. Before I go, as always, the latest in movies: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is done. It's an experience. After having been in awe of the music for ages and ages now, to actually see it in action, to see the music pulse through the scenes, to see Eli Wallach as the resourceful Ugly, its a great movie. It's all about the Ugly character. He is the hero. And that was followed by American History X. This movie is bound to make you a bigger fan of Edward Norton than you already are.....its a moving film. Has a good dose of social consicence and idealism with some cut throat reality and action. A must watch.

good luck Jag

curise like the jag on the road .. jag x series is a dream to possess in the US ..
kick ass richie..

Happy deepawali guys ..

Let us hit out bigg time when u r in "Girinagar" :-)
nice that you said girinagar instead of bangalore :-))

At office,lots of documentation .....(lot to be done)
at home lots of bank,blah blah, credit cards......dragging

Yesterday (or the day before yesterday) i had been to a
2-wheeler mechanic's garage

I had an interesting conversation with the mechanic.

The conversation went on like this :-

GARAGE MAN :-
(looking at the scooty)
Sir ball bearing hogidhe.

ME:-
Yeshtu aguthe charge-u?

GARAGE MAN:-
Ahhh...Nodbeku saar....Gearbox kooda bichteeni.

ME:-
okay, gear box tagiri....

I was waiting for him to open the gearbox.

GARAGE MAN:-
Sir, nimm daddy na karkondu banni...

ME :-
(confused)
Yen daddy ?

GARAGE MAN :-
Sir two days earlier hinge college hudugi bandhu,
bearing change maadid-mele, avara daddy bandhu
illi galaate maadidru....
So naavu college hudugara hatra yella helibitte change
maadodu.....

I was mortally insulted.

ME:-
Nann age yeshtu antha gothta ? Nimdeshtu ?

GARAGEMAN:-
Sir, 22 varsha nange....

ME :-
Nange 25.

End of conversation.

So the moral of the scene :-
Grow facial hair....It's high time....

see you betans....
(the great depression reaching unprecedented heights nowadays)

Rain Man

A movie posting after a long time. Saw Rain Man again!!! And unbelievably, went through most of the movie without skipping any bit. I like this one. Have to get a DVD when I come to Bangalore.

Booked my Bangalore ticket right now on irctc. December 2nd Night, I will be there in Girinagar. So, December 3rd, Kumar, Richie, lets hit the pool.

As for current academics, I have got an extenstion on my seminar report submission deadline from Prof. Soumen. Gotta use it well, and extract some wisdom from a collection of papers that he has asked me to read. Extract wisdom???? I am not able to extract basic contents. Lets see where that will leave me.....Other than end-sem exams, I have just two survey reports to write before next week. Almost single-tasking, a very welcome change.

Spoke to Chakku and Samba after a long time......Kumar seems to be missing college days, but is not responding on YIM. GD seems to have faded into the sands of Phoenix. Richie, well, I dont really mind it either ways :))).....

pills

even I am on tons of pills now.....Vicks Action 500, Oraheal, B-Complex.... self-medicating away to glory.....courtesy mouth ulcers..........aaaaaargh.........

old news-new news: still slogging....watching movies.....sleeping odd hours......same ol' stuff...

new stuff: tried windows after a long time, and found out that I like firefox more than IE. Everything else seems pretty much the same. Added a new photo on my pictures page getting in Richie, Paapu and Kummi....among others.....

As for ex-girlfriends, Kumara......life is one strange brew...... things will get better.......not to worry.......

maDDu mess

its a Da with a Da "vattu"....maDDu mess....

This is a small eating joint that opens at around 4 every morning here, just outside the campus. Getting into the place is an adventure in itself. You gotta go through dingy stinking alleys, past cowsheds, open drains, -Satya (the movie) style....and sit in a mosquito infested dungeon where a really old lady makes eeruLLi dose, moTTe-eeruLLi dose (a novelty I came across here), plain dose, idli, vaDe, amboDe (which they call Daal Vada), and the best part.....really tasty thick chutney, with steaming hot sambar......all very south Indian, very tasty, and very very economical........a mammoth gorging session cost me around Rs 30/-......

This place is like this cult thing here......the setting is very rustic, but the talk is very urbane, people discussing linux, MIT, Berkeley, philosophy, and devoring onion-anDa, daal vaDa etc etc......its a must visit......combines the ethos of IIT and Bombay in equal parts and great measure......and of course, good food is a good thing......anywhere.....

just got back from there....was sitting outside my lab.......talking to the inimitable Su Depp.....and reminiscing old days at BCB, and wondering what one needs to do etc etc.....heard some shocking news about our very own Jeevan Prakash.......and was left with more wondering to do......hahah.....

let the games begin........

Read this attention-holding blog entry by some dude on Kannada: http://msanjay.htmlplanet.com/blog/lchasm.htm

Right now, I am typing from an I-Mac in the hostel comp. room. Its different, and its really different....right from the keyboard down to the display and the usage etc etc.....I dont know whether it was designed to be so different from the IBM-clones, but it is.......

Anyways, I am (as-always) amused to see Su Depp in one of his oh-so-su-depp moments....cant wait for this month to get over....and cant wait to see you dudes again.......undecidability or not..... bhel puri or not....... stupid Su Depp disclaimers on everything or not.....me is gonna be there, and me is gonna eat everyone's head......and also swim away to glory in the NCB pool......

right now, I have gotten over some of my recent mammoth spells of procrastination - only cuz deadlines have finally caught up with me.......Right now, I have enough workload to piss off even Buddha....or some such idiom.......

Listening to Fanaa Fanaa from Yuva.....and yeah, marvelling at Rahman's talents....But these days I am beginning to respect the likes of Anu Malik and Anand-Milind, cuz of the sheer genius in their dingchak songs......of course, the credit is equally shared by folks like Anjaan and Sameer for those immortal lyrics with quintessential words like "jiya", "baahon mein", "jaan", "dil", "pyaar", "deewana", "seene", "goriya", "chura", "jiya" and of course......."bechain"..

Have listened to the dingchak hall of fame here........and surprisingly, I have a few other fans of extreme hindi dingchak here......who take great pleasure in listening to the essential 90's dingchak that had classics like Husn Hai Suhana.....Tamma Tamma Loge......and some of those classic Mithun numbers which I cant get enough of these days...... :)))))

Ok, gotta go to the lab now and work on my lab project which is due tomorrow midnight......

Man

The weekend was another plw.
plw = predictable lousy weekend.

But wait!!

We met!

Me, kummi and jag met at jag's place and I ate fresh cold sapotas while the
two geeks discussed about "Undecidablility".

And I caught up with "Goodfellas".
Very disturbing.
Scorsese is a mad-man.
And I saw "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".
What the heck was the movie abt?
Stopped midway.
Couldnt make out anything out of it.

No more powerful disturbing movies for sometime.
Need to see some cartoons....Like Finding Nemo.


Other than that I need to ENHANCE my vision.
Planning of buying a RayBan......

~Su Depp (like Johnny Depp).
