O.R. ---> bye bye bye

23/09/2002

results are out and I HAVE CLEARED 6TH SEM.... no no, I HAVE CLEARED O.R.!!!! thank god, i can sleep in peace not worrying abt this dreaded subject... well, I got 50 in O.R btw i got 80.4% and i am very happy with it, way beyond my effort...

Note for Juniors: Never ever opt for this elective called Operational Research (O.R.). I spent approximately 4 days studying this damn subject, in addition to the 3 days along the course of semester(1 day each for the 3 unit tests)... means i spent maximum time on this subject, but still I couldnt get a hang of it... in fact loathed doing those cumbersome problems... And theres no guarantee that u making it big in this subject:(

And... hearty thanks to my (former) project batchmates... gee, thanks to u, i got exceptionally grt marks in labs:)

And we have cancelled Ganesha celebrations this year... well, once its discontinued, its very difficult to catch hold of ppl and put it back on rails... and many are soo busy in their work and headaches, outgrowing from loitering youngsters... I can say with some wisdom, maybe the Ganesha days are over.. its now upto the next generation... but there are very few small kids around... so maybe it might be a looong time b4 theres a Ganesha again at 29th cross:(

went to this very pub after 1 yr... the place hasnt changed nor do we.... just that we are now more comfortable when the bill comes! each learning to stand on their own feet u see...

right now this film Ninne Pelladatha coming on tel... a favourite of mine... 2 frens of mine who had seen it for some 7 times forced me to this film long back.... since then I myself have seen this some 4 times.. excellent songs and clean love... hey bye, a nice song is abt to come and i should hurry back to the living room!

hmm, well, saw the usual places in there, my second visit to Padmanabha Swamy after 5 yrs... Also the much anticipated visit to Chitra Art Gallery... Lost all the respect for Raja Ravi Verma... found his works too too amateur.... the compositions nevertheless are good since they are traditional but the mood and enigma is missing.. no wonder foreign Schools of art consider him a non-entity...

The best part was the Nicholas Roerich and his son's 18 works.... wow wow wow, they are too grt... spent some 1 hr just staring at them. They really really appealed to me a grt deal... the trips worth it only to see these works.

then to Kovalam beach and usual antics there. next to Botanical Research Institute in Palode.. wow, the place is too good.... full of scientists and endangered plants all over countless hills and streams... worth the trouble in sweltering sun to rural kerala.

back to Bangalore and unpleasant welcome when an autodriver demanded Rs.60 for a distance of just 4kms, just because i alighted from a Volvo bus... no no, went for another auto.

Dilip, Dilip and Vashishta

here are we 3 guys who never really made it that big in pu college (compared to now, though each studying in diff colls).... and after 3 yrs, i found we find we glue each other well.... in fact very well... ya, each's destiny is diff, but we have soo much in common... and we r sharing much that we never did back then.... another sweet subtelity of this exotic life:)

me and karthik just saw off dilip to Trivandrum for his GRE...

for many of u there, heres some good news... hmm, decided to put my pen down for sometime and stop writing poems. i need a change of style and some hiatus is a good idea... anyway got the most desired compliment for a poem of mine from a very special person... so its sweet to take a break on a high note.
