Project report done - should I be happy?

Hmm..

Got the project report done (not saying anything about the project, mind you ;-) ). Gave it for binding. A BIG relief! Yet..it's not without a tinge of sadness...Finishing the report just brings me closer to the end of my life as a student at SCOE.

Anyways, will submit the report sometime tomorrow. And then..back to finishing my project! LOL!

Live long and prosper!

A natural flirt!

You Are a Natural Flirt

Believe it or not, you're a really effective flirt. And you're so good, you hardly notice that you're flirting. Your attitude and confidence make you a natural flirt. And the fact that you don't know it is just that more attractive!

What Kind of Flirt Are You?

Open mouth, insert foot..

Looks like my previous post was a tad immature. Find myself drastically short of time! Writing this post merely because got bored of writing out the project report..Yawn!

Suddenly today I remembered this poem..I think Manas had put it up on Adotout..Should ask him to put it up again..

Our Thoughts Are Free

Die Gedanken sind frei
My thoughts freely flower,
Die Gedanken sind frei
My thoughts give me power.
No scholar can map them,
No hunter can trap them,
No man can deny:
Die Gedanken sind frei!

I think as I please
And this gives me pleasure,
My conscience decrees,
This right I must treasure;
My thoughts will not cater
To duke or dictator,
No man can deny--
Die Gedanken sind frei!

And if tyrants take me
And throw me in prison
My thoughts will burst free,
Like blossoms in season.
Foundations will crumble,
The structure will tumble,
And free men will cry:
Die Gedanken sind frei!

Neither trouble or pain
Will ever touch me again.
No good comes of fretting,
My hope's in forgetting.
Within myself still
I can think as I will,
But I laugh, do not cry:
Die Gedanken sind frei!

*Way* too much time on my hands!

Another one of those internet quizzes!

Your #1 Match: ISTP

The Mechanic You are calm and collected, even in the most difficult of situations. A person of action and self-direction, you love being independent. To outsiders yous eem impulsive, surprising, and unpredictable. You are good at understanding how all things work, except for people. You would make an excellent pilot, forensic pathologist, or athlete.

What's Your Personality Type?

The Fog

Went for a movie with Sudha and Dexter yesterday evening. Wanted to see Rang De Basanti (actually, Sudha and Dexter did), but no tickets. So saw a movie called `The Fog'. The movie joins the ranks of all those movies that purport to be scary, but end up being hilarious. But, to be fair to the movie, Sudha was scared initially, so *maybe* it did something right! ;-)

Met Shivani today. Felt good seeing her after such a long time. Had coffee with her, after ages.

Have a deadline tomorrow to show a draft copy of our project report. So..have to work on it a bit. Till then..ciao!

Another one of those stupid quizzes..

Had some time..so took a quiz on what Star Wars character I am. Still don't believe in little green men? ;-)

Which Revenge of the Sith Character are you?

The futility of religion

Was going through Bain's blog. Got me thinking..do we really need religion? What is religion? What does it achieve? Why, in this universe that is ephemeral, do we insist on believing in something that is defined (and vehemently defended) as being permanent, unchanging?

As you might have guessed..I'm an atheist. I don't believe in God, and I believe that religion does more to divide people that to unite them. Don't believe me? Just stop and think..most of the strife in human history has been over "My God is better than your God." Could I be wrong? In the words of ``Stone Cold" Steve Austin, "Oh hell yeah!". Do I think I'm wrong? Oh hell no! Yet, I'm open to ideas...

Nice guys finish last, and other random thoughts

Re-read this article today : An Ode to the Nice Guys Why do the nice guys always finish last? Why do girls chose the wrong guys to go out with? And, knowing that there are some girls in the same boat, why aren't the nice guys asking the nice gals out? Troubling, isn't it? ;-)

It was holi today. All of India, people revelled in playing with colours. Damn my cold! Missed the last holi I would have at home in a long time! X-( But, in the evening, went to Sagar's house. Dhananjay gave a `wet' birthday party! Had vodka, from a tea-cup! =)) The whole gang from college was there : DJ, Sagar, Sahil, Pranav, Bharat, Shveta, Purva, Rachana, Sheetal, Namrata and Toni. Had a blast!

Have to fill up the exam form tomorrow. The last exam form that I'll ever fill out for the Univ. of Pune. Sigh! These past 5 years have flown, and how! Bunked lectures, all the vada-pavs in the canteen, all the coffees..all of them, I can remember (well, *most* of them). Come April end, its all going to be gone. No more bunking lectures for movies, no more lukkhagiri on the steps..nothing! Ah, well! As this door closes slowly, other, bigger ones open.

Happy holi!
May you be able to destroy the demons that haunt you!

Fresh as rain on a summer's day

No more fever! Yahoo! ( Oops..this is blogger, so Google! ;-) )

Nadya started writing his blog today. The first article was..thought provoking, shall I say? It hit me right at bulls eye! No more coffee at Rupali, no more vada pavs in the canteen, no more `cold's at Durga, no pani puri, no bhel..NOTHING..And all of this in a matter of few short months. And boy, doesn't time fly when you *know* you don't have enough of it! Doesn't that suck?

On a lighter note, saw a fantastic movie called `Saw' tonight on Star Movies. One of the best thrillers I've seen in a *long* time. A must see!

And the illness continues..

BAD fever yesterday. 103F. The doc says its some viral infection..so on antibiotics! Arggh!

Rain!

Its raining! Unseasonal, yet welcome rains today! A *big* respite from the sweltering heat.

Ill today. Fever, cough etc. Need to go see the doctor tomorrow.

See ya later!

Result!

Got the result of the 7th semester exams today. Managed to get a first class with distinction! Yippee! Every one in the group did well.

Ecstatic!

Arthur's Theme

The gang met up today. Sudha had to give out gifts that she got for everybody from Sydney. She got T-shirts for all the guys, ear-rings for all the girls. Asmi got a boomerang! Lucky girl! Then we went to Arthur's Theme for dinner. I got lost along the way! Anyways, had a nice drive with Sudha, so that's ok. The food was very nice. The names of the dishes were all the names of some historical characters.

Had loads of fun! Wishing that Bhalu and Pranu were there.

Its a wonderful world!

Dunno why, but in a great mood today! I feel like I can do no wrong today! :-)) Met Sudha day before, after 6 whole weeks or so. It felt so good! And the jacket she got for me is amazing!

Have the final code review tomorrow. We're supposed to show the complete code tomorrow! LOL! My project partners are coming over..will see what to do.

Till next time, keep rocking!
