There aren’t that many things that can get me out of a sad mood. Few of them are Fast Bike Ride (def. at number 1), Listening to loud music (and i mean LOUD) and of course a nice walk (a good company is always appreciated). Sadly, where I live now, I don’t have any access to fast bike, or to any bike (if you don’t count my 5-gear Hercules thriller as one). But fortunately, I have access to great speaker. So, it has been an easy time for me so far. Touch wood, I didn’t need to use them much often.
This reminds me of my college. Or rather my college life. It was fun to be in those shoes at that time. Time was happy most of the times and okish for the rest. Sadness was rare. But why am I talking about this? well, I was missing my college friends a lot. I guess its not such a good idea to open up the Pics folder. Especially when you have folders with the name “Freaky!”,  “Ruchir the amazing (constantly updated)” and High-Hopes. I dont think many of you know what these refer to, but for those who do, I miss you all!
There is a glimpse of these folders in some other post. (need to take permission from people)
I was a little sad yesterday, for the reasons stated above. I was trying to figure out why is it that I get such senti attacks once in a month or so. I could think of one possible reason.
When ever I go to a new place (happened twice so far) I assume that this is a temporary phase and the things will come back to normal. Or at least you can say that this is at the back my head instead of the painful reality that the prev. life is over. When I got into the college, I thought, this is a temporary thing and will get over in sometime and I will be back with my parents and my school friends again. Sadly(maybe not that sadly), it never happened. The thinking quitely changed from Home being the permanent thing to college being the permanent thing. And then came the time when we got the degrees. (Ooo Boy, I sure was lucky to get it in 4 years). Then the job joining happened. In the back of my head was, this is temporary and things will get back to normal in sometime. Normal here now refers to me in college. Everyone back to college. But alas, this will never happen.
I guess this is the harsh reality. Time never comes back.

Oh yeah, I have broadband at home now.

A picture is worth a thousand words desires!!!!

Worth reading things ..

I was reading this story, which talks about two guys who are so passionate about their work, they sneak in everyday to their company (who they didnt work for anymore, or for anyone else for that matter) and code. They put in so much of effort just to get their product in the final version. Now, the best part is, the company is Apple and the product is the graphical Calculator thats there in Mac.
Its a must read if you want to get motivated to work harder. And of course, if you have lots of spare time and have nothing to do.

Then I was reading this post , which is sort of true for almost all the eng. colleges now a days. Or should I say, for all the eng. students. Exceptions, of course, are the students from Chennai. (4 batches that I have seen in my college, were topped by Chennai).

I was also reading the posts (old ones) made by Vakiba . Some of the posts are really good and you must read them, obviously if you have spare time. There is this post where he talks about the problems of the country. Now, the post obv. is good, but thats not the best part. Read the comment, ok, dont, its way too long, but do read the end of that comment. The writer has pasted his resume there. Read it. Its awesom-ly hilarious.

And then there is this blog by one of the guys working at MS and I think at a key position (technical). He writes cool stuff and some of it is really hilarious.

In other news , it seems my house (the college house) is losing like, well should I say, Aakash used to. My house used to be number 1 in everything. Best in sports, best in cultural activities. I guess, it was our batch who was the soul of our house. And I guess, for the next 4 years, Agni is going to be the next Aakash ( aka Patke house, GoGo house, KTN house).
