Remembering the time long gone by
When the spirits were young, and the dreams were jitter..
The goals were nearer, and people close were dearer..
When living was not leaving, and was sharing as brothers..
All life meant was to cheer, drink beer, and wipe each other's tears..

Friendship

Seeing the friend's goodness

with eyes closed,

Loving forever,

With reasons never disclosed....

Helping when one does wrong ,

Never failing to say CARRY ON..

Singing together many a joyous song,

Changing gears,

Wiping tears,

Heart stirs,

when they are near

From creams to dreams

sharing everything,

beautiful facets of friendship,

makes strangers come together..

The magic of cricket....

What the politicians are trying for years and are yet no way near to the goal,cricket has done it finally.Its the champions trophy match between australia and pakistan.First time in the history indian fans will be cheering for pakistan.Every wicket taken by the furios pakistani bowlers and every run scored will be celebrated by the crowds of both the countries,first time in the history they will be in consensus.I am sure that the way the relations are prevailing today,consensus of this kind can never be acheived in future.

Dillemma....

CAT or Placements this is the question which keeps haunting my mind these days or I should say that this very question has become a burning issue in my life. This question is getting tougher and complex with time. Don't worry about the placements and go for CAT is what my mind and my parents keep telling me(they say"abhi teri umr hi kya hui hai ,abhi se naukri kyun karna chahta hai" ) but when I see people around preparing die hard for the placements and interviews i feel like "Am I doing the right thing?". Well there are people who have already started their preparation for CAT and frankly speaking when I see these peoples' dedication and devotion towards CAT I get goosebumps. Somedays back one of my friend made me to check the list of top 20 MBA colleges in India, it was a sign of relief for me to see that there are many good MBA colleges other than IIMs,otherwise I used to think CAT is only for IIM and its almost for people like me to clear CAT. But, the list made the image of the MBA more clearer and reachable.

Sometimes i miss Vikas (where I got coaching for IIT and ended up in a NIT :)),though life was very very tough there but there were no distractions at all, people around had same objective and that was IIT or AIEEE. Moreover,they made us to study and practice for the exams forcefully,which at that time looked very painful but now I feel that taming was quite necessary and beneficial too. The scenario was similar to a rat race,everyone was happy seeing the other person getting scolded and punished,the pain was not that painful because there were lots of people like you getting the same treatment as you were the other day.

But now when I analyze the scenario in the college its very different,we have become (or pretend to be) mature and understanding and we have the ability to judge between wrong and right (or do we??).Here people have different objectives and motives some are preparing for the placements to get dreamjobs,some are busy cramming words to improve their vocabulary for GRE or CAT,some have closed their room gates and have started revisiting the engineering text books to prepare for GATE,some are aiming for MS from foreign and ya there are also people like me who are standing at the crossroads and still thinking which road to take and gaping people passing by and momentarly getting influenced by every second person,(much like a kid who wants to become a policeman when he saw him beating the villain at the end in the last movie,and next to be cricketer when he sees another).So I again ask myself (which I keep asking myself oftenly) is there any change in the conscience we have gone through,or just the situations and the choices have changed and all the other things are just the same as before.

Well anyways 'laut aao'(i remember pandey sir ,our hindi teacher),thinking practically,i have to come out of this dilemma very soon and come with an answer.I promise that I will sensibly make one choice among the roads available and tell you this sunday pukka.

After 3 holidays we r back attending classes(except CSE people for us everyday is almost a) holiday. But still,we had 3 classes today out of which we attended 2 as one of the tacher was absent(common tendency of csed teachers), and as usual they were utterly boring and dull.
In the open elective class i turned around to see other students' faces,but i was only able to see the upper part of their head coz they were all down out of sleep.A situation where any teacher would feel embarrased,but with egregious Gagnesh case was different.He was unstopable,at last it ended,few happy faces could be seen then.
Next comes Compiler Design Mr.Avtar alias Chomunov's class,a russia return guy who came to india to mislead his students to follow his footsteps.I reached the class late(true follwer of indian culture), consequently all the last benches were occupied and i had to sit in the first row.Chomunov was doing something with the slides shown on the white screen .There are two reasons why students prefer to sit in the last benches,first and the primary one is well known to everyone and second is coz of that old and withered AC which is not even able to cool whole of the class,it cools only its peripharies.Morover the AC and the lorry sung by the faculties facilitates the people sitting or rather sleeping to dive themseeves into the deep sea of sleep.
"Ok thats it" said Chomunov after 1 hour and so am i sayin, "Thats it".Adieu.

Blue Day For Men In Blue

India thrased out of the T20 world cup.It was as expected as the team never looked like the defending champions.It lacked the zeal and passion which was there in 2007.The skipper MS Dhoni, regarded as the thinking captain ,his strategical changes didnt turned out right and ended as a Blunder.Too much tinkering cost a lot to Dhoni and to the team.Bowling changes were not apt as in the last match RP Singh bowled superbly but still the pen ultimate over was given to out-of-form Zaheer Khan.Zaheer Khan never looked like the spearhead bowler,Ishant sharma dissapointed too.Bhajji and Ojha did quite well.Its not worth mentioning Irfan coz he is batsman now so cant blame on his bowling.But overall Indian bowling attack lacked class and passion.The part time bowlers like Yousuf Pathan and Jadeja performed better than the main bowlers.I have seen that Indian pace bowlers donot capitalize the one bouncer per over rule.Gary and Venky must give a brood on this.
In the batting side,the top order didnt provide a stable start to the team,ya we definitely missed Sehwag.And it looked that Gautam only plays well with Sehwag he was bit lucky that most of the times his miscued shots landed safely.Raina looked uncomfortable against short balls sometimes he gave the glimpse of Ganguly;).Rohit Sharma I dont know what he is doing in the team and I dont know why Indian selectors rely so much on him I never liked him and as an opener he was awful.Yuvraj was in the blistering form it seemed that the whole team revolved round him,but lastly he failed to provide.The thinking Dhoni who tries to play the part of Inning Builder but never succeds,people were sighing in lament when came to bat.He never looked like the Dhoni of the early 2000 when he was renowned for his hitting.Apart from individual deforms there were strategical faults too,batting order management was very poor,it was a complete blunder to send Jadeja before Yuvraj and Yousuf,I didnt mention Dhoni here because it wouldnt have made any difference if he would have come at number four.The top order was struggling and never looked comfortable against the short pitched balls.The English bowlers following the West Indies policy exploited this debility to the fullest.
Lastly in the side in which India is always poor,the commentators said almost 100 times that India has two or three very good fielders but overall indian fielding is below average.It was strange to see Yuvraj Singh, India's one of the best fielder was struggling in the field.He dropped simple catch in the match against bangladesh and miss fielded a lot in the previous match.
PS : I think this knock out was required for the Indian team,actly they deserved it.It will bring them down from the illusion of the second best team and they will again endeavor to be the best.Gary and MS the thinktanks have to do a lot of homework and being Indian supporter I hope that India will do better in rest of the season......

A visit to the Golconda Fort...

First cross on the list of tourist places at hyderabad and it could be nothing better than the gigantic & royal Golconda Fort.

After a night out and watching two movies without a break till 6:00 am, it was hard to

goose-up.I woke up at 8:45 am ,the hangover of the nightout was teribble.The dialogues of the movie were still reverberating in my ears.But finaly I convinced myself and thought if we continue the same attitude,we'll end up showing a dull face with lots of excuse when everyone who would ask did u visit golconda and ramoji during your stay in hyderabad?

So we went for it.It was actualy not too far from the IIIT campus.It costs only around Rs15 if u take the state RTC bus and in around 50 mins we were standing right in the front of the main entrance of the fort.There was ticket of Rs 5 per head.

Golconda was actually the capital city of the Golkonda which was ruined by the mughals . Golconda got its name from the telugu word "Golla+konda" which means Shepherd's Hill.Golconda city spans over a large area in south-western hyderabad and contains the fort in the centre.The fort was mainly constructed by the Qutub Shahi Kings.Before the advent the whole deccan was ruled from the Golconda Fort.The main attraction of the fort is the acoustic system,water supply and ventilation system.A living example of the sophistication and expertise of the architects and the engineers of ancient times.The fort is so big that it takes 3-4 hrs for a thorough visit.If you are meticulous kinda person who likes to go deep in the intricacies of the architecture it can take days too.We are not so it only took 2hrs to us to visit.The main highlight of the fort is the light and sound show,but unfortunately it starts at 7 in the evening so we missed it.So we are planning for revisit.Nonethless, it was very nice experience for me and I enjoyed a lot there.I hope more this visit to golconda will initiate a chain reaction and the crosses in the list will increase expnentialy....Amen...
