Easy .. turning me Crazy..


Hi friends..

Wondering what this is all about ? guess ? It is about the stupid UNIX exam we have tomorrow. It is not difficult to read, in fact , so basic that we keep forgetting everything ;)
Let me not bore you with the mundane facts of exam prep , but i still had lots of trouble with the electricity today! we had a power cut for a whopping 5 hrs.( from 1 to 6 ....hell to congress !)

I am in the mood for a little prep now, because i slept a lot in the afternoon, wasted time during the power cut, and even watched the daily serials on tv instead of reading commands. UNIX is Lite !!

I am turning 'crazy' ( that means eccentric...not dumb) . Crazy about Java mobile edition, and MS.Silverlight which i finally integrated with Visual Studio today !!

I also installed a dictionary in my mobile again, reset the java apps, searched for a lot of time, downloaded Bleach 217 , got disappointed when there were no updates on onemanga.com , read lots of spoilers for naruto , and finally sat down to read.

How can you procrastinate so much like me ? i bet nobody can ! I am always postponing things.. whatever they may be ! Today i even managed to postpone reading for exam ... now thats ultimate procrastination. ( agree ....or agree to disagree?)

CAT prep is low from yesterday... didn't do more than 3 pages today. How will i ever get patience. Hmm.. However, one thing's for certain..i am writing my SCJP examination before May 20th.

SO long for now. My exam prep wasn't tooo exciting, but it will be sufficient for tomorrow ! If i try hard ! Gud nite.. or gud whatever :)

Chimpings too .. and Developing evening time apps !!


Hi friends.

Wrote my exam well again.
What the hell ! I and my friend had a very quick revision of 5 units in the college bus, and every question i got was from that only. My poor friend didn't get even a single question !!

Luck aside, the paper was late and i got extremely bored in the hall,then started yawning, looked around , and hoped for the paper. We had a small entertainment session from 'agam' ( an unfortunate nickname :) ) before the actual papers came. And you know what my first impression was ? JNTU's gotta be crazy !

Besides wasting 40 pages of paper, printing every detail of every student, deciding which sets the students should get and even setting up substandard question papers , JNTU's giving a day or two holidays between every exam. I really hope that this gets CANCELLED from the next year ! At least then, students will begin reading from the start of the semester !

Typical expected responses for the 'controversial' statements above :

Abba chaa..
Why so pessimistic yaar !
masti kar le !
why to read stuff right from the beginning !
you must be crazy !
wow man , nobody can read that much !
We are in Engineering buddy !


So let me narrate a few incidents that happened while we were returning home from exam ! I and Basha were isolated and sitting in quarantine in the first seat, for the first time, reading a new unix book . We barely managed to finish a couple of commands in 2 units, got tired and crept back to our usual places. Didn't get the chance to sleep today also.

We got down at habsiguda, with Basha urging for a soda. We had one each in the hot sun, relishing it, and then rushed home before we were dehydrated ! As we reached home, we had a power cut ! Shit man ! Basha was disappointed and left soon enough, and i resumed my CAT prep for a few min before a call from Racha Racha interrupted me !

He offered to come to my house to study unix, and i asked him to bring his laptop. And guess what ! I watched i-robot movie, a couple of scenes from Mirrors , and even a scene from Australia. Then we connected our PC's wirelessly , and i started developing the Contact application that i started a few days ago. It took up most of our time, but we finally shut down our lappy toppies, opened our books and began to read. I completed Vi editor, when Karthik , unable to resist his homesickness, left in a rush.

I started listening to the video songs i downloaded, enjoying them and sorting my system files. I will never manage to clean up my PC in its present state. So i am going to format it soon, for added functionality and better performance.

Today i am going to finish the first chapter in UNIX , come what may ! So long for now ! I also have the pleasure of informing you that I 'almost' have my DELL OEM Vista coming to me .. .. Happy installing ! Happy browsing ! Happy blogging !


Goood night ! ( or day .... as long as everything's good )

Compiler Design .. going to be recompiled ... and Java On my Mobile


Hi people.

I was almost reluctant to sleep yesterday , watching the curious case of Benjamin button late at night ! It wasn't such a great movie , apart from the very creative idea of a man growing from an old man to an infant ( creeps me out !!)

I started developing a windows application for storing contacts, but got a constant nagging error of SQL server missing ! I dumped it temporarily and tried to focus. It was nearly 12.30 @ night , and i was showing no signs of sleep ! I hastily switched off my laptop, promising myself i would wake up and keep my downloads early in the morning @ 2.am.

I was a bit late, i woke up at 2.40, and switched on my Lappie Toppie , and started mu-torrent.
I downloaded 3 video songs
1. Girlfriend - by avril lavigne
2. Ajab si - From Om Shanti Om
3. Andam ga lena from Godavari

Multi lingual and excellent pieces of music, and i really love these !

Then Iwent back to sleep ! When i woke up again, it was 8.30 am. High time !
My friends were arriving in a few minutes, and i got ready hurriedly. Heavy studies. Tried our best to read ! Did whatever was possible. Completed all the tough portions .

Finally, in the evening, all my friends left, and I had some time to revise approx 2 units. Then suddenly i had an idea about my mobile not connecting with my PC. Tried to install jad files and Jar files with the help of Softick PPP. After about 10 failures, i finally managed to install some java apps on my mobile !

Sweet success ! And it was really thrilling to watch the java file being loaded into the mobile after days of frustration. Tomorrow maybe, i have to start searching for apps. I love the free spirit of the internet ! So many things for free out there !

And did i mention, I created an account for myself at Demonoid.com after several months of waiting ! Super cool site ! A whole lot of torrents to download ! So i take leave for now, to take a good rest for the exam tomorrow ! If i manage to write this exam super good, then prepare yourself for reading a double post tomorrow !

Chimpings...


:D
Hi people !
Guess what ! I got the easiest question paper of my life, and i enjoyed writing every word of it !
Wrote everything well. After exam, i went to the library to return my textbook. But to my surprise, i found it was not issued in my name. Did a lot of background searching and finally narrowed down the choices to Chinni..or Johnny.

Sat in the library for a few minutes, begged syllabus book from the librarian, read the probable units in CD, and prepared myself for the upcoming 'challenge' . I sat in the bus, neither slept nor concentrated, and then reached home. I and Basha had a mazaa on the roadside , and started walking towards my home. We also purchased a chewing gum on the way.

Basha had a root canal a few months ago, and his cement filling came out accidentally ! Poor guy ! He has to get it fixed again !

There was nothing much left to do, and in the evening , i and Basha came home to study 2 or 3 units. However , all stories do not have happy endings, and our study story ended there with the entry of a special guest .

I sat for some more time, discussing happily with sravan, while the guest (name hidden for unknown reasons) caught srinath. Soon after Jumper and Warden arrived, the duo of Sravan n guest left, leaving us in a pool of helplessness and disinterest.

We pepared a few questions for important topics, watched the IPL scores intermittently,

Soon everyone left, and i switched on my PC , and all is while, i have been watching the curious case of Benjamin Button . Let me tell you my review once i finish it ! I hope that once these exams finish, i will be writing full page testimonials on all of my 500 or so friends !

Now i am trying to implement a photo-contact list software in C# , and if i manage to develop it quick, i will upload it. Bye for now !

Finale ...


hi friends

I woke up at 3.am ,didn't feel like sleeping, and i exercised a bit. I also switched on my laptop and started browsing the Internet .Started solving CAT papers and then did a bit of browsing, checked my emails, and then opened my books to read. By 6 am, i was hungry, and ate all the chocolate ice cream in the house !

The curious case of Benjamin Button finished downloading, and i saw nearly 20 min of the movie. B that time, my brother woke up and we both were engaged in a series of lan games. We tried playing with everyone against us in the expert mode, but never survived more than a few min !

By that time, Warden also arrived, and i forced myself to start preparing for the grand finale.. this year's entire education put to test ! Our external exams were going to start from tomorrow ! The subject is CG, as i said earlier, and is very easy ! Hoping to get a good score in it !

I had a good nap in the afternoon despite all the protests around me ! The daily power cut drained all the resistance in me, leaving me at the mercy of the god of sleep ! A 'few' quick naps did the trick, and i was rejuvenated again :)

I read till evening, then peeped and saw nearly the entire "Dead Man's chest" movie ! It was cool ! I then sketched a plan for tomorrow's exams and started talking with Srinath ! We had quite a long chat , and called it a day !

I made one final revision now, and I am off to bed in the few moments that come after this article. Good Night ! Exam time wont bring out very good quality stuff, but i prefer to consistently keep my promise .
Bye for today..srry..tonight !

Exam Recursion..


With exams so near, there's a strange excitement in the atmosphere ! I am not going to speculate my performance or prognosticate my marks , but i can definitely tell that i am going to do well this time !

I have a feeling of success, as always , before the start of exams , all credit to the successful completion of at least 3 to 4 units in each subject. Lets leave this alone.

I have started my CAT prep seriously , one topic per day, apart from daily online practice !I am allocating 1 hr daily for it during exams, which seems enough at present.

Let me tell you my adventures with my mobile ! I started developing wallpapers for my mobile, and it is like a sort of addiction. Happy making wallpapers :)
I even downloaded Samsung PC suite, found a way to store my sms without deleting them, fiddled with it, and still i find it exciting !

Yesterday was no different from the day before, and i warned everyone that things get strangely repetitive during exams. Read, ate, read, drank, read, slept.
But i always come online at least once a day as long as i have internet @ home.

Basha finally came back from village. He was going to dilsukhnagar to see project details. Told him to enjoy.

i have to get up early and jog . good night

Mobile are fun .., exams from mon !!


Chocoboy rulz !!

Hi friends !

The title is apt ! Mobiles are fun ! especially my new samsung e250 , coolest piece in my hands ! I tried a lot to install applications for it, but it didn't succeed !

However, i started developing pics for my mobile phone , to be used as wallpapers, as i got tired of searching for stuff online ! Today, even though my friends came, i was in a very good mood for developing wallpapers, and did them finally !

We read, inefficiently as it was, sweating in the afternoon power cut , sleeping and stretching .. and managed to wipe out most of CG.
Tomorrow is IS's turn ! Kick its butt !

Today evening, we had a discussion on topics like USPC,CAT, GRE,GMAT etc, and it started a strange desire in me to read for the CAT even now !
I forced myself to sit and do CAT for 1 hour, and i was surprised at myself for the little patience i had !

I
Finally i cam online, started a conversation with Racha racha (nickname) ,and a good chat with "sweety" ( nickname ) , and then started blogging!
While i was about to quit, i met my school friend "aku" ( nickname) after 5 years. I had a small chat with her, remembered i had to finish my blog, and so i am here !

Another great piece of news is that i am going to jog from tomorrow morinng ! First few days on the terrace, next few days to the park, and then cycle trips to the nearby temples early in the morning !

K. Got to sleep ! Bye people ! Nothing much to say today !

Exploring new Vistas ... and the visit to Charminar


Hi friends.

Adventures are meant to be fun. And we had a great adventure today :D

I slept in my friend's house, after reading a bit of computer graphics till 12.30.
The next morning , when i woke up, it was 2.20 again !
Damn. My biological clock was getting haywire.

I silently sat there, amidst the 5 sleeping people , who were also in a state of semi consciousness.
I started listening songs on Warden's ipod for quite sometime, then heard the audio book from my own phone, and finally sat near the window gazing outside, waiting for the clock to strike 4.

There was much hype about the market, and i prepared myself mentally to enter there for the first time. I walked along with others to the MGBS, just a few min away from my friend's house , with the intention of boarding a bus. We finally had to get into an auto , and we reached there by 4.30 am.

It was deserted, except for the few cloth stalls that lay scattered over there. I were disappointed as we had to wait for another 1 hour. But we decided to roam and explore the city.
The funny part is, we had Charminar in the vicinity, and i had never visited it even once. So we started to walk in that direction, slowly crossing the lanes and roads.

I observed an unusually large number of poor people sleeping outside in the cold, shelter-less and unprotected. Almost on every road, we observed them sprawled on the ground. Then we came to the court road. It was totally deserted , and the place made me feel calm.

I and Bowenpally thop started jogging, and early as it was, it helped in clearing our sleep clogged brains a bit. We did a bit of excercising also, ran ahead , waited for friends who were far behind, and managed to reach Charminar.

It was huge, and though i don't find historical buildings "wow" , Charminar is a very important landmark of Hyderabad. So i stared at it with interest ,had a few biscuits in a nearby cafe, and decided to go shopping !!

We waited for an RTC bus, and managed to get into one. But what happened then ! The bus driver .. demanded 5 rs from each us even though most of us had a pass ! Absolutely shocking for my friends !

I finally reached the place we had been so eager to visit. Though it was nowhere near my imagination, it was still pretty interesting, with all sorts of wares and goods available.

Want to know the funny stuff available there ?

1. Tata Sky dish ( freshly stolen )
2. Cycle seat
3. Pulsar headlights
4. Cycle handle
5. Used rubber balls
6. Childrens tricycle tires
7. Coin operated box
8. Shop Name banner
9. Airtel hoardings
and lots and lots of stuff ...


There were several dedicated clothing stalls, which sold cheap goods at amazingly low prices. To our surprise, there were auctions there too. I personally waited for over half an hour to buy a trimmer ( ha ha.. the barber's gonna cry ). I saw several interesting items, but they were way beyond my budget of 200/-. So I settled for a small key chain and a cover for my mobile phone, apart from that trimmer.

Bowenpally thop bought a webcam at 40/- ( amazingly low) and to all our pleasure, it worked !!
We examined each and every stall there with curiosity, amazed at the diversity of things.

We found mobiles being sold there, at amazingly low prices, and they were just our of our budget range. I made a note to bring extra money the next time i came here.

And there's one other thing i wanted to mention. A dvd player, with features like usb support ( those are the latest features buddy) were distributed at throwaway prices of 800/- to 900/- . I also found several things of interest, but the lack of vitamin M made me back off !
(Now I am fully aware of the place and the goods, and I are sure to go there again in the holidays. )

I came back to my friend's house, sat there to study for sometime, ate, and then got ready for home. We traveled to MGBS, waiting for bus. In the meantime, Warden took some photos of me posing with an RTC bus. We were drinking pineapple juice for quenching our thirst , when my direct bus arrived !

I gulped down huge mouthfuls of juice, faster than i expected, and ran into the bus. It was already full, in the few seconds that delayed me. I purchased a ticket, stood there near a pole, and silently slipped into a nap.
It was after Shankermutt that i woke up , that too ..startled, as the bus lurched forward.

Laughing at myself, i clung to the trimmer and got down at Habsiguda. I walked home, had lunch, and then directly jumped on the bed for a nice slumber.

I slept for nearly 5 hours, woken up by the phone call of a friend,and studied for a while before i lost interest again.
I switched on my PC, switched on the net, and started searching mobile wallpapers.

My friend Warden came home, and we , already in the mood for a nap, opened Computer graphics Text book, completed an amazing 3 units in a record time, and he left at 11.00

Bye for now. I am terribly sleepy even after my afternoon sleep session. Heavy enjoyment. Heavily tired. Its 11.59 pm now.
Good night !

Strange timings ....Strange Travels ..


hi friends

I have got to blog early today !

Yesterday's effects were too much ! want to know what happened ? i was chatting, browsing and finally blogging till 11.45 pm. I thought of sleeping comfortably till 6, get ready, and go to Begumpet ! But you know what ! I woke up at 2.15 am. I didn't even notice the clock ( this is happening too regularly ), brushed my teeth, and switched on the PC.

It was then i noticed that the time was 2.35 am. I promised myself i would sleep in a few minutes after starting the usual downloads. But it was meant to be broken, not slightly, but utterly and totally.
Guess what! I was browsing for mobile phone soft wares till 4.45 am.

Now my eyes started paining seriously, and i couldn't continue further ! I quietly slipped into my bed and slept soundly. When i woke up, to my total discomfort, the time was 7.50 am. I had promised my friend i would be turning up by 7.30 , but I failed there too .

I called him and told him i would be late, got ready and started for his home. And what did i do in the bus ? I was listening to TWILIGHT audio books that i had previously downloaded ! Ha ha.. in a world of my own ..even when i was being pushed around by the crowd.

Well , i reached his stop, made a few crude guesses ( i had no balance in the phone and i forgot to recharge) , and surprised him by turning up right at his home !

We sat for sometime, then started our NN syllabus, and completed a great deal of the portion !
I had a very nice revision. We studied non-stop till 1.30, when all of us were exhausted and took leave.

I was fortunate again, .. I got a bus to Secunderabad as soon as i reached the stop. I got in, bid my friend farewell, and reached sec-bad. Today my luck was hugging me ..and i got an impossibly rare bus direct to my home.

Came Home. Ate. Started browsing. Tried mobile installation. Gave up. Confirmed the trip to Jumeraat bazaar, and here i am, now blogging.

By the way, i ate chocolate ice cream at 5.30 pm , sent all my buddies messages from the internet, and successfully transferred wallpapers and ring tones into my phone.


I am bidding farewell. I plan to take 200/- of cash. Lets see what that will fetch me there ! :D

P.s : If you read this post till the end, buy me a chocolate :D

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

Bingo ! More people.. more study !


Hi friends..

I am back here to disprove my own theories again.
I never thought NN could get completed, or even approach "near completion"

But all the 10 people who had gathered there were in for a big surprise ! We managed to chop off 4 units approximately,

Rewind... back back.. back ..

Time 4.am : Fell down from the bed.

Time 4.30 am: Got ready, started blogging my strange dream.

Time 6.00 am: nearly played for 1 hrs Counter strike online .

Time 8.00 am: Got ready for friends. Tidied the room, laid down a new quilt for comfort.

The rampage began. The arrivals started with : here's the list in the order of arrrivals;

1. Jumper
2. Hali
3. Thop
4. Sudhir
5. Warden
6. Bowenpally
7. chinni
8. Sunil ( <- Bakra its his original name ! )
9. Who knows the name( i guess it must be sandeep)
10.ChocoBoy

So it was a great feeling. having so many people together for studies ! We raced ahead with the portion before lunch ! completed "nearly" 2 units "entirely" ( what a contradiction).

Well , i cooked a dish for all those people who came, ( omlettes actually ) and we had a great homely lunch ! NN and lunch make a really dangerous combination. Got so disinterested that in the next 2 hours, we did practically nothing !

Again by 4pm, the effects were wearing off , and we started reading again.
Read the next unit. pretty easy. and jumped to the next one. But we were already washed out completely, but had the satisfaction that we completed 3 full units and 2 partial units.

Now, an interesting thing happened. a group of monkeys were passing by, and the little ones were making a lot of ruckus ! we sure had a few anxious moments wondering if that thing would come inside !

finally, as everyone was sitting comfortably, we decided to go check out some shops tomorrow night ! To the notorious jumeraat bazaar ! Not to buy things ( as if the thieves would let us go unscathed!)

We just wanted to see a first hand experience of the market, where stolen goods were primarily traded. It was odd timing ( 2 am to 6 am) and a whole lot of distance away. We continued our discussions on the best course of action to take. ( secret stuff !).

now i was all alone, and didn't even bother to open the book ! why ? there was a power cut ! I was eagerly waiting for it to return !

As soon as it came, i started talking with everyone from schoolmates to college mates to present classmates. ( ha ha ..practically everyone online).

I opened my twitter, facebook, digg, orkut, hi5, mydailyflog, etc etc stuff and checked for updates.

And i had long chats about a top secret chain of stories, of which my very good friends ( friend1 and friend2) have a part.

Did you ever realize how painful it must be to write this post late in the night ?
To control myself not to write too much about everything, and leave the right clues for the right persons to find out. !!

If twilight was for real , then i would have been a werewolf for sure ! ( they dont drink blood ..a nd neither do i..)
But i get all my dreams of becoming a vampire ( ..yummy mountain lions ..)



about tomorrow ? well . I have to go to begumpet tomorrow morinng, by 7.30 , study NN there, and come back in 3 hrs.

History repeats itself, atleast during exams !!

Chocoboy's greatest pleasure:

ha ha. my dad brought a choco ice cream in the night ! had a few scoops of it.
My mom had given me a chocolate 2 days ago, which was safely hidden in a dark corner. It was a small dairy milk, but still gave me immense pleasure.

bye for now. good night

Morning surprise ..


Hi friends..

Got a few things to say this early in the morning ! Had a twilight dream again, in which Bella and Edward ask me to make them vampires.
what the hell ! I am blogging immediately because i will forget this again.
Ha ha ha. i was the only vampire there, and they were pleading for immortality ;)

And in a few moments i am going to finish the twilight audio book download.Will listen to it happily :D

And I am gonna play cs online now. Will blog in the evening ! And finally , exams are still getting near !

Study sessions .. Exam time ..


Hi friends

guess what? exam fever is slowly catching up ! Not that i will ever be affected by it ..( actually i was , till my last semester)

Today , i woke up late, crushing all my beautiful hopes for a CS match online ! Got ready, made a few calls, and i started out for the first time to a new place called Kothapet, all alone !

I reached there, and found myself out of call balance, stranded in the unknown bus stop, without any shops open nearby. Just then, i remembered that I had 2 min vodafone to vodafone free, and called a reliable friend of mine, who helped pass on the message that i was stuck !

I was watching the road opposite to me when i saw a person walking slowly.. so slowly that you would not believe it ! slowly.. slowly... slowly...

Hmm.. and even before the face became clear, i knew that person.. she was my host for today, and i had traveled all the way to study at her home. Her nickname is now " Gopi" ( ha ha..strange and funny for a girl !) ..

we walked down the alleys for 5 min, twisting and turning all the way( actually one right turn and one left turn ).

I was already late with the appointment, and we started reading at 11.30 am. We were enthusiastic, trying hard to complete the difficult units ! We succeeded in finishing 1 unit by lunch time!

Lunch was a different matter altogether ! South Indian sambar , a new variety of pickle, and curd rice... heavy meals. Could go there again just for the food !!

Well. We even had gossip, but not much of the time, and it helped us " cool down from the stress of exams " ..as usual :D

Well, we started reading again, the difficult part this time being problems of CLR,SLR,LALR, Shift reduce parsing and so on.

Ha ha .. They were difficult only until today. I still cant believe myself that i was getting afraid of this silly stuff! got a very clear picture of the subject.

and wait a min. The goodies are not over yet ! i had a big glass of choco 5star bournvita, and two real 5 stars, and even two small snickers !!

Ha ha. lucky day ! chocolates rule ! its really cool !

This alone was productive enough , though we skimmed an additional topic also.
Warden also came, by the way .. and we disproved the superstition that " three people cant do anything productive"

Tomorrow, there's a Neural Networks study session from the morning

Hoping to successfully complete 3 units as usual ! Lets see if it works out .

Sleepless nights


Hi friends.

It is a matter of a few hours before i start playing CS 1.6 . The night will be long and painful, but it will provide me the well needed rest.

As a matter of fact, i slept yesterday at around 11.30 and woke up in the morning at 2.30 . My biological clock seems to have adjusted to the eerie timings of Twilight .

I tried to read a few units from various books, none of them yielding much success. I had a few friends who came over, and we tried to study .
We ended up cooking a delicious meal ( at least it seemed that way for our starved stomachs) and comfortably chit-chatting.

I hope that when i end this post, i am going to read at least a unit from today's work for revision. I know it is a vain hope, but still, i want to give it a try.

My frustration is building up, exactly like a volcano does before erupting, and this is what propels me into reading dedicatedly for the exams. The sleepless nights, the title of this post is meant to indicate that i am not burning midnight's oil, rather, i am impatient and restless even to sleep.

I have started reading "midnight sun" .., the partial draft of the next sequel of Twilight saga. I had loads of fun today, enjoying a comedy movie on TV , and reading naruto and Bleach on one manga.

How do i spice up my posts ?
Will it be of great help if i start picture blogging ?
Will i have enough time to spare for blogging ?


Stupid questions running through my head.But will it really make any sense once i sleep.. thats precisely what i am going to do now.And you too .. if its late night !

Boring day..


Hi people.
I was comfortably sleeping in the bed at 10.30 pm now when i remembered that i didn't blog today. Being sluggish and lazy, i managed to get up after 10 mins of dedicated effort , and here i am.

Well, i never had such a long sleep as i had yesterday night( nearly 11 hrs ) .. and I woke up late at 8.30. My mom is on a trip to my village, so nobody bothered to wake me up. As if it mattered !!

I switched on my comp lazily, browsed a few sites, checked my mails, and called my friend "warden" to come home for studies. He turned up at 1, which was far too late by any standards, by which time i had already started reading and almost finished my novels.

I was dozing off when he came, so i got mentally prepared for studies and we opened our books. We had a power cut 15min later ... and that ended most of our plans for the day. The sweltering heat made it impossible for study, coupled with stupid distractions from my brother.

We managed to complete 2 units today. A great achievement for us.
Warden took a break, and i was too distracted to bother. I also went to my cousin's house. I missed reading bleach and naruto on one manga today , but it didn't matter really though ! There were no updates i heard. ( lets verify right now !! :D )

After formulating several new strategies and plans for the next semester, I finally got down to bed.
And back to the first line of this post...

Practically, i never did anything like ASP.Net or Silverlight today, but i did think* of doing them. This is not a post written in my usual spirit, so please doze off along with me !

And one final think. I had a couple of photos of me taken today. You can expect them to be in orkut soon enough ! I think I am going to buy a new handy cam soon. Then i can fill up my pictures blog !

Good night ! sleep tight !

Blog template changed


Hii people. I wanted to bring some color into my life as well as the readers. So i migrated to a better template.

I haven't updated all the links yet, but you might be happy to know.. I am going to create a friends list soon. Make sure your name gets into it :D

If you feel like reading more stuff, visit my other blog at wordpress. As usual, the name is phanichalla.wordpress.com

King of procrastination, asp enthusiast , and much more


Hi friends.

My day got off to an early start today when i woke up at 2.15 am.
I hurriedly brushed, switched on my laptop and tried to download the vmware workstation for windows.
In parallel, i started posting on my new blog ( http://phanichalla.wordpress.com )

This one is about my literary activities, about the books i already read, those which i am going to read , and my opinions on them.

Well.. i even tried to play counter strike online, but my ping was worse.. and i got kicked out from every server as soon as the game commenced.

I tried my hand at facebook, Digg, and even tried out adsense. I even nicknamed a friend ( well it was a mutual nicknaming session as usual) ..and her name is "mysterious" .

I read a bit of UNIX today, boring , and sat for most of the time in front of the laptop. I feel the thrill of blogging as i post, without fail, come what may, ( if the internet fails ..dont blame me ..)

I am planning to read seriously, starting from tomorrow. I am the king of procrastination, so it is to be expected.

However, the good thing regarding my mini project is :
1.I got a clear understanding of ASP.net
2. I am developing trial projects

And the bad info about it is :
1. Still have to learn silverlight.
2. Stupid silverlight is not integrating with vs 2008

And here is my real article, the one which this post is really intended for:

Political corruption , abuse of power ,and Irresponsibility .. these are the three things every commoner needs to be aware of.

Corruption is corrosive, it burns down the layers of resistance of lower officials, especially when their superiors are highly talented in the "art"

Abuse of power relates to the actual misuse of privileges that are vested int the politicians and officials. These are a breach of trust, and they are laced with many layers of corruption at every level, starting right from the personal level.


Irresponsibility is understood to be the ultimate sin, the denial of proper judgment to the needy as well as shoving off the responsibility. This alone can lead to non existent problems and can even forster the other two troubles.

Beware ...o commoner . Do not shun responsibility thinking that you are well hidden and safe in the society. You might be the next victim, and when you really are, the society wont even care a bit about you.


P.S : The intention of this article is not to vent out my political dissatisfaction, but to have a consensus on whether my arguments are correct or not.
If any person has managed to read up to this point, then please comment on what you think of my three points.

Keeping promises, Empowering India, ...


Hi people.

Here i am, blogging again as i promised..

First thing i did today morning was to get ready and vote for the first time in my life.

I walked half a km from my house to the polling booth, cast my vote and came out very pleased with myself.

There is something inexplicable about voting,.. something strange yet powerful , to let your vote speak for you, to see your opinions competing with the rest of the country ,and the feeling of responsibility.

I am not very interested in politics, but enough to be concerned about the country.
I know of the corruption and malpractices that occur in this society, and also the fact that they have not been eradicated yet.

I dont usually discuss social issues on my blog, but watch for my next post..

what else did i do today ?

1. Played counter strike.
2. searched a lot for ASP.Net related stuff.
3. Slept.
4. Ate chocolate Icecream
5. Read CAT books for sometime
6. Started blogging .


And one more thing, i started blogging in my literary blog ( wordpress) for the first time today... phanichalla.wordpress.com

Had an awful lot of power cuts today. Interrupted me many times, but still i manage to survive :D

Chocolates and twilight and lots of stuff


Hi ppl !
Its been a long time since i blogged. That means i missed a lot of opportunities..right ?

Lots of things have happened the last month.

1.I made lots of friends
( "seriously", "curiously", and lots of people whom i didn't keep nicknames for)
2.I developed a site in Joomla
3.I bought web space for 1 month
4. Actively organized our college fest
5. Read Twilight series and watched the movie
6. Ate lots of home made chocolates
7. Got sick and stayed home for a week
8. screwed up the internal exams badly.. but still managed to get a good score
9. Promised myself yet again that i am going to blog.
10. Bought two new pairs of jeans ( i used to wear only formals till now )
11. Roamed half of the city for sponsors for the fest.
12. Started painting .. tried with the water colors.. learning slowly .
13. visited my facebook, orkut profiles again...


The most interesting experience among all has been Twilight.
I never thought such interest would come again after harry potter or Lord of the rings.. But then...
I read all four of the books in 2 days.. no sleep.. no rest.. so much that my mom made me eat food forcibly ..( i was in no position to leave the book and go to the dining table)


Now i have got exams from 27th, so i should read my engineering subjects. Nobody wants to mess these up !
And as far as chocolates are concerned, i am eating at least one daily,whether it is in the chocolate form or in the ice cream form.

My intuition tells me to stop now.. or else you will lose interest. Bye for now .
