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 ..
bere sketchaaks haka beku ..

innen samachara ..

Yella ok.....

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


Yella Smile :-)

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....

gd garu..

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...
all this from the conversation with teju on the way back from mumbai...missing u man...and missing all those motivating kachax..oorige baro woole master

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 ??
