ow, its exhilerating
31/05/2002
one of the best days since i started to breath,,,,,,,, no no i didnt achieve anything, nor did i attain anything..... but should there be a reason????????!!!!!

its gonna be a tight weekend
30/05/2002
racing against time, fighting against sleep.... 3 projects to show next week..... i am glad i have got grt team-mates... thanks to them.

observed one thing.... ppl simply change during these crunch days... liveliness is lost, meanness sets in and caring for themselves begins. its natural, but why should we change, just becos some damn circumstance demands us to? here i have to do 20 hrs work in 5 hrs and if someone asks for my 2 hrs, i think i shouldnt care where i stand but outreach that person.... thats me, and thats my appreciation for ppl like that....

my ID and princi
29/05/2002
one of the many reasons why i get pissed off with my coll. there is this policeman (our princi) waiting outside the gate, in the morn, checking if all are wearing their ID cards.... i happen to have no ROPE to hang the ID round my neck... and voila, my ID confiscated and me sent out and asked to come back late in the evening, make me wait for 2 hrs... all this just becos i dont have that blue ROPE.... 

birthday and freaking
26/05/2002
24ths been my birthday.... had a gala time.... going out and eating, going out and eating being order of these days (but too much turned out to be too much!!!).... there's this fest of our coll too.... hmmmm, i am sleeping well over 10hrs these days, mistaking the time for extended holidays!

the book Mr.Sampath, Printer of Malgudi, by R.K.Narayan is boring... but the endings good...

Nandan episode
22/05/2002
theres this guy called Nandan in our class. well, i shouldnt use any adjectives to describe him, as i am expected not to. had a great deal of trouble for last 2 days, for things we never did, like, thwarting others' very deserving attempts on jobs (pun intended).... things happened which were simply unnecessary... never knew jealousy could go to such extreme lengths....

thanks to the princi and our HOD, who dealt with the situation very very professionally and with maturity. at the end of the day, everyones happy (i presume).

jai gave party for his Wipro job to our coll gang at Eden Huts. mine's still pending....  

books, when can i lay my hands on you??
20/05/2002
think i am addicted to loitering around... should pull up the socks as it is high time to do something academically. everyday i intend to fiddle my books, but at the end of the day, hmmmmm, no way, i figure out that its been another day, without books!!!

Got into Wipro
19/05/2002
Wipro came to our campus and i am selected along with 12 others. Been a tough 2 days with all those tests and interviews... jaidev, divya, nitin, yathin, ramnath and aparna are the frens who also got thru.... thank god, now theres a safety net soon after i finish my engg...

its heartening that i am selected for the very first company (no idea when others come, if they come at all) that has come to the campus. i am not in PPR (an elite intellectual brigade of our coll), my aggre is not among toppers though pretty very decent, i am not that good a techie.... and i got selected....think i smashed in HR.

to Darshan
16/05/2002
The internals are over and I owe everything to my fren Darshan A. From the starting of engineering, hes the one who always taught me things at the last moments before the exam. i find much free time somewhat due to him. since what all info he would have painstakingly studied for days, he teaches me that within few hours, during exam time. just felt like mentioning it here.

TV time
15/05/2002
watching TV all the time these days. Theres no college so that we can study for tests, but.... when at home, how can one be away from TV.

thank god, we, in our street have started to play in the evenings, after a gap of 2 months. now its football time, cricket being ditched. and its proving to be popular, with some irregular guys also joining in.

times running out
12/05/2002
nothin much these days, just loitering around... hey, shud atleast get a whiff on whats happening academically, with tests starting just tomorrow and none of my projects yet started ( i have to complete 3 in some 3.5 weeks)... tough times ahead..

finished the poem Far and apart one of these days..

family day
8/05/2002
well, been to my young sis's place to help her things right, to jewelry shop with her, sold 2 of my old shirts to my dad (at their cost price)!!! and went with him for dinner to Nagarjuna Chimney.

really cant understand my pop.... he is always very courteous, but when i talk sweetly to servers, he admonishes me, telling "not with workers, not with workers", i agree when one is extracting work from them, but is there anything wrong in talking sweetly when it comes to hotel servers?

Bellary and Hampi
7/05/2002
been to Bellary, an underdeveloped hot town, for last 3 days.... the place is full of Telugus though in Karnataka, all films that run are Telugu and people respond in Telugu though spoken in Kannada... learnt that the place was a part of Rayalaseema of AP and later gone the Karnataka way... 

the place so hot that i found myself soaked in sweat throughout the day... had to sleep outside in the open in the nights.. the trip was excellent, really really excellent... met with some of the most wonderful people i came across in life, also found out the shitty attitudes of few others i knew before....

had a very, very brief visit to Hampi... the place is amazing... an empire built from stone and turned to stone.... it acted as barrier against muslim rule in south india, and when finally fallen, resulted in looting of wealth, destruction of culture, society, economy, art and literature, raping of women and ofcourse sculptures...

one shudders to imagine that fateful end and makes us to realise where we stand, our national security and questions like that....

lessons
3/05/2002
today i learnt a lesson, never to be too much attached to anyone, for that matter anyone. the only regret is, i learnt it the hard way.

finished the poem Cards on the table....

sleepy classes
2/05/2002
boy, our HOD loves to speak, speak and speak.... i am fed up. what to do, should sit tight in his class! hey, i saw a counterfeit 100 rupee note for the first time... and check out this website my cousin prakash is involved in, www.truthnbeyond.com, never knew he was interested in all those things that cant or difficult to be explained....
