DAYS ARE NUMBERED….

The feeling that I am already into the final semester of my B-Tech, never sinked into me till today. Just as we were on our regular hooting spree on a sincere ever answering student of our class, that our beloved Prof(she has been teaching us for almost 3 years ) said with her usual grin”Ur days of such fun are numbered. Around four months from now u wud be working professionals, either in companies or in some professional course (post graduation).Imagine yourself in a corporate boardroom, and somebody answers a query,pity u cant resort to your hooting then”.

The feeling just then struck to me, oh gosh I would be missing something, this and many more that I always enjoyed doing. Imagine life without those” night outs" ,those “late night chamunda rides”, those” birthday bumps" those” long late night bakars"
those” pinches n slaps", those” crushes and heartbreaks”, ”getting kicked out of da class”,” struggle for marks”,” writing on desks”,” fight with teachers”,” tears for love"
those"b'grade movies",those”rush during placements"
just everything that we enjoyed. Phew ,I just get a heavy feeling recalling all this. I don’t know what life holds for me outside this campus, but I am very sure I would never even get near to all this what I did here. May be then ,with a life ,without these moments,I will better realize their value, something that I had always taken for granted.

ACCIDENTALLY IN LOVE...

I never believed in the concept of love and romance, for me it was something that existed only in utopic books, and mushy mushy movies. I used to laugh when guys used to share with me their stories of joys and heartbreaks ,I used to say “C’mon its all just a rush of hormones in your body u will be all right”. My motto in life was simple no one can love you more than yourself and romance was just a utter waste of time, only weak fall for that trap. But…I never knew cupid had some other plans for me. Something that would change the way I looked at life. I fell for someone..Without even realizing..
Well, the feeling is something that you can never perfectly describe, its like you are under a perpetual sweet dream which you never want to get out of ..Down with cupid’s arrows I did everything I used to call stupid before. Those walks in the garden under a moonlight sky, sitting together holding each other’s hand, listening endlessly to her talk and still feeling oh wish she could stay for some more time.Even I started those imaginations which for me before was a sheer waste of productive time.Oh ,yes I would lay for hours in bed thinking about how lovely it would be if she would have been near me ,lying in my arms.And yes the crazy wait for her calls,for her to get online..i started doing what for me before was pointless and waste.

Life for me since then, has taken a U turn. She taught me things that I had never realized before. It dawned upon me in my chase for cgpa’s,projects,to perform in my extra-curricula’s I had somewhat forgotten to have fun. Life above all is not only about achievements, and blind pursuit of dollar dreams. There’s nothing more satisfying in life than caring for someone and having someone to care for.Thus more important than your materialistic pursuits ,are the ones that love ,your family,your true friends(not colleagues)..your beloved.

I can understand to most of you,this must be sounding like a figment of some love struck romeo’s imagination.But remember mates..falling in love is like a miracle ..you will only realize it when it happens to you..

Godspeed.

HOW TO FAKE IT UP



“CHEAT,LIE & TRAVESTY @ NIT-SURAT”

HOW TO FAKE IT UP

We all have our esteem needs, in the sense that we all love to be popular, to be known by people, being talked about ,being the cynosure of all eyes, nothing offensive about that ,because its a part of every human beings psychology. Me no psychologist ,and these facts about esteem ,not my words but that said by famous psychologist Abraham Maslow(MASLOW’S PYRAMID).If u let go of any bias that, u may be having about me and my opinions(i am very unpopular among my batch mates!!!!) then u will probably realize, the truth behind Maslow’s hypothesis

I won’t go much into the details abt esteem needs on the other hand i will share with u some valuable tips ..abt how to appear popular..thats it !! the trick to fake it up..to put up a pretence. The facts that i wud share with u are not manufactured out of nowhere but the result of being part of a very competitive class(Btech-4 electrical engineering ,2008 ,NIT –SURAT).We had all the biggies in our batch starting from so called Research gurus(they know more abt radiation than Rayleigh-Jeans.. !!!) ,big shot politicians & psephologist(they appear to be so gud&suave..that u thinkof inviting them to Oprah’s show),ramp queens to beauty queens(the amount of heartbreaks nd break-ups they generate..ah ..wud even make Aishwariya Rai jealous!!),mimickers,...college talent hunt winners,robotic experts,consistent toppers..u name it and we have got it..BTECH (2008)trical may seem to be heaven ...but for a super loser like it was no-less than devil’s own pardise..obviously u tend to loose urself in a myriad of such talent.But luckily ,after being overawed for a couple of sems by such people , i realized something ,everyone was not genuine .some just faked it up,and in fact it was so good that people had to believe you,so in the following post.i will share with u some tricks that wud make u appear as R&D biggie,a sort of intellectual scholar..and believe me i have tried these tricks myself and to good effect,(some fools still believe i am gud at R&D..)

Here’s the recipe, remember the sooner the con begins (as early as 1 sem lets say ),the more genuine it wud appear..First of all, you shud have a good command over English,atleast spice up ur vocab with such words like” Astonishingly simple”..”Eureka effect”..”Fantastically Complex”…”Option is always With U “…“There is no science without mathematics”..”Concentration reaching asymptotic levels”..yeah expression of these sorts create an aura ,that the audience will have no choice but bow down before you. And to add to that u shud know a bit of technical terms ,although u may not understand them ,like Hamiltonian Space,FFT,Biometric Indices,FPGA,Watershed Segmentation,Multi-modal Data Fusion..etc its like pretending to know German by learning a few words.. Whenever you find a lousy mortal, make sure to drown him with these technical.. biggies..if he doesn’t get a bit of it ..the better. badger him until he thinks u are GOD(9 out 10 fall into this trap..).

Next make sure , u stuff ur table with thick fat books on random subjects(the mundane crowd shudnt have any inkling abt that subject)..best bet pick books on Advanced Robotics, Theory of Relativity, Pattern Recognition, Statistical analysis of Patterns(u will easily find them in the library)and bunch of research papers(dwl them from IEEE ,Springer every reputed college has access to these journals).When somebody walks in ur room, start ur badger, when somebody asks u what ur reading start the badger again. the aura keeps building. Also remember to tell them ,with the utmost chagrin how u love to read all these stuff but the crappy curriculum stifles u to read mundane subjects like electrical machines..etc.The kid will start worshipping u the next moment, and will start spreading ur glory all over.

Above all when u have silly adhocs,and lecturers taking ur class, ask them questions that they wouldn’t even dream of in their wildest nightmares, not that tough to do googling will help u through. But beware when u have a smart faculty, keep mum, silence is golden then, later u cud say, that subject hardly interests you.

If u do these with finesse ,the job is half done,next u just need to slog a bit to carry out the act well.Whenever ,u have fests in ur college,ignore them with a sense of dejection.saying na not of my level ,but make sure u attend fests of I.I.T’s and I.I.M’s..(reputed instis) although u go there just to attend the guest lectures.Come back and sing like a canary abt the difference in standards,until they start sympathizing with you.Then comes the most difficult part ,try to get hold of a summer or winter project,its not that difficult keep pinging profs,try calling them up,or land up in an IIT and start knocking every prof’s door(if u are that desperate, I was lucky, pinging and a bit of luck helped me).Remain isolated from all ur batchmates for that period,just scrap back saying “I am dead busy” but always remember to tell them what you are working on(cook up a gud project name)and how progressive the work is.

Believe me when u return back ,the word would have spread all over,u are by then a research scholar ,someone who has either cracked a new formulae or implemented a new algorithm(my cover was algorithm).And if u have a bit of good looks,any girl wud be ready to be ur date(damn I lacked the looks).U wud be already topping the popularity charts .

These are no figments of my imagination,but facts ,that truly hold,just give it a shot and see the effect.
