People First

I attended this workshop conducted by the people first association yesterday and today. Let me tell you a little bit about the organization, it is basically a youth organization started by a guy called Akshay Charian. In the organization they help you realize the various things that you can achieve in your life by doing very simple things. The simple things being, expressing yourself, if anyone laughs at you ( when you are on stage specifically ) or makes fun of you when you try going against the flow then "balls" to them, don't add unwanted imagination ( as they said fiction ) to the realities ( facts ) of life, acknowledge your love / care for others.

Now coming back to myself , I can't say that it didn't help me , it did make me realize the small but significant mistakes being committed by me because of lack to knowledge , care etc. I personally liked the system followed by them like using jives ( dancing ) as a way of decreasing the space you create for yourself and thereby learning to do what you have to do ( dance ) and don't care a damn as to what others think about you and so one. Well that's all guys and last but not the least they did put an effort in making the difference in to society and to be frank I feel that it works ( truly frank ).

Bull's eye : Death on correct diagnosis

This is a post which will reveal to you "the inner me", what I mean is, you will know a little bit more about me which will help you in diagonizing what type of person i am, in reality.

You know, I asked myself a quesition -
What is the most important thing in my life to possess which, I would let go of my enggineering marks ( specifically my 3rd sem one ), my rank, my luck and my very favorite pastime entertainment and all the pleasures of my life?

The answer to this question was only one, my friends.If any of my friends get irritated or have a fight with me then later that day I feel so bad that i dont feel like eating, my mind goes numb, my heart feels heavy, and I start hating and blaming myself for whatever happened.I would at that moment giveup anything to have that friend of mine back.

I am posting this bcause I have a feeling that one of my friends is angry or irritated by me lately and I am still feeling bad about it.I hope that my view of the situation is wrong and he is not at all angry with me or even if he was , he has already forgiven me.

My friends , my family ....

Here is the most avaited post of all times.
I will dedicate this post to my friends , family and ofcourse in the ever lasting memory of my friend ( or foe i don't know ) Keshav. I will discuss about my friends their lifestyle, behaviour etc.I really doubt it can be crammed into one single post. I need many posts to complete this topic and i will update them as i think of new things that have occured bcoz of their role in my life.

This is for my friends listed below , don't hate me after reading this testimonial.


Name : Karthik H B :
Nickname : HB :
Webspace : http://360.yahoo.com/karthikhb :

He one of the best and also the wittiest C programmers amongst those whom i have met, who has a real crave for solving puzzles.

He is one of my best friends - i don't know why we bound together maybe bcoz our frequencies matched most since I too like solving puzzles , giving better logic for given q and mind it i like to win not to defeat.It is these things which bound us together.Oh i forgot he too likes to play Table Tennis.

All I can say is if you have a friend like him then you can rely on him anytime , anywhere , anyplace ( i hope so , since our friendship hasn't been tested ) , anywhere except while playing TT bcoz neither he nor me will be willing to give up a chance to play TT.I will never forget the happy memories spent with this guy.once i get the digi cam , the first pic that i will upload will be that of him.

There is a lot more to talk about him but bcoz of lack of space i am condensing it.Best of luck in your life.

Name : Harsha Valaturu :
Nickname : Sandy :
Webspace : well no webspace.... not yet :

You know he is nicknamed Sandy but if you ask me you must name him as "The Coconut".He is very rough from outside and just like others he is soft ( i hope so ) from inside. If he wants something he just gets physical ( breaking , beating , fighting and stuff ) without any arguing and I have sometimes seriously hated him for that and as they say -
"the ones whom you hate the most are the ones you love the most".

Still he is one of my very good friends bcoz he is loving, caring and considerate in many ways ( i am saying this although it conflicts with the above words i said about him ).When i donated blood and "almost fainted" it was he who put me in an auto and sent me home , brought back my bike home and etc.I like him for that but I hate him when he makes fun of the incident.

Our frequencies in some fields are the same ( not just matching , exatly same like for example playing TT ) but in some fields it is 180 degree phase shift. All i can say is if it were not for Sandy , i wouldn't be myself i think i would be anand ( don't ask me what it means ).As i meant before you means a lot to me man and i will be there for you whenever you need me.

Name : Amit Kundlia :
Nickname : Ammu ( I think ) :
Webspace : well.. he maybe having a web space i don't know yet :

Well he is basically a hostellite , a northie from calcutta ( or Kolkatta ) and he is one of my best friends.

He is the first hostellite with whom my bandwidth collided and we got glued together ( not physically ).He is the easy go lucky guy and it is my dream to live a life of a hostellite and it is even possible that i try doing that with Amit's life i.e.I try to live the life which he lives , feel the freedom , enjoy friends' close companionship and ofcourse enjoy life through his life.

He is one of my best friends , with whom i don't usually have any secrets ( any formal ones ofcourse ).If it were not for him my life would be a lot more raw and tasteless ( less of fun ).

I think he wants very badly to rag the junior students but let me remind you as long as i am with him i won't let him rag them ( but will make sure that he is ragged by them ).

I will never forget about you and best of luck in your future ( I think he wants to be an entrepreneur like Narayana Murthy - Infosys chairman ).

Ofcourse to be updated ...

Digital Camera - coming soon ...

Well the desire to possess a digital camera and capture pictures of my friends , family and ofcourse myself has increased so much now that I cannot anymore go on with just giving some lame hints to my mom and dad about my craze for a digital camera. So, I have already put an formal application for digital camera with my mom and in all probabilities it has been approved but it is my bro who is still not so willing to buy a camera. He keeps saying the same thing, "After a few days you will lose this craze for the digital camera and you wont even open it".

Well I am still trying to find a new and more guaranteed way of approving my application given to my brother. But I have not yet lost any hopes and I am sure I will convince him to buy me a camera in near future.So guys in "the coming soon..." section you can expect the pictures of everyone and everything which is important to me.

Blood donation

There was a blood donation camp organized in our college on 6th march.I donated blood for the first time and you know what happened I almost fainted ( to be fair "felt dizzy" ) and had to bunk the college for the whole day and that was not the end of it , my mom was screaming ( maybe even crying ) for donating blood without telling her.My friend had to bring my bike back home since I came back in auto.


But I feel that 2 or to be frank 3 good things happened because of me donating blood ,

1. Firstly, someone was helped with my blood ( I hope so ).
2. I know now how much strain ( well in practice ) which I can endure.
3. I am happy I missed CO (Computer Organization) class that day.

Our Choice - Our Destiny : Which one of these is more important in our lives ?

Sorry I was preoccupied with something else and got so busy that I couldn't devote time for blogging.

Now to be frank with you ppl I have something in my mind for sometime ( not very long ) which I would like to share with you.

Well to begin with let me tell you a little about myself ,I opted for PCMB ( Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology ) in my pre-university course (PUC), I then decided to leave bio field and join Engineering and opted for Computer Science branch in University ( Engineering ).At this time when I am writing this I am studying 4th sem ( out of the 8 semesters ).

The questions which are bothering me the most are

• Why did I opt for PCMB in PUC in the first place when I had the choice between PCMC ( C - Computer Science )
  and PCMB ?
• Why did I opt for Engineering ?
• Why did I opt for CS in Engineering ?

When I try to find the answers to these questions the answers themselves pose to me as a riddle which keeps on getting more and more complex the more i think of them.

I really don't know why i chose this path ,maybe it is becoz of the influence of the ppl around me which made all the difference in my life.Well everyone in my school opted for PCMB and especially my brother influenced me the most to take up Bio.

It was my family which made me take up CS in Engg.I hadn't even decided what to do with my life then.I now feel that I should have taken up law or I should take up teaching profession.

I hadn't decided then so i couldn't take up law and it is too late now. But i still have a chance to become a teacher but my mom/family members think that you can't lead a *happy* life being a teacher since the PAY is less.

I ask myself what has happiness got to do with PAY - it is contendedness which pays you off finally.

You know i used to read of stories where in the heroes would go in search of their fortune / destiny / luck .I want to do that now , I want to go in search of my fortune / my future.

So I think it is my determination along with my choices which will help me in fighting against the destiny that is being kept in store for me.

So now I feel that,our choices are more important than our destiny to make any difference in our life.

Seminar - a great success

Hey guys, just checked in to tell you that the seminar I had today was a great success ( atleast upto my best knowledge ). It was a seminar on Shell Sort as I had told in my last post.

You know what , it is a great experience you feel when you stand there and teach something , anything for that matter and make sure that everyone ( atleast most of the front seaters ) understand what you want to convey to them and the best part is one of my friends ( part of the audience for the seminar ) suggested me to become a teacher , which is what I want to be if given total independance of choice in my life.
