Ah. Finally.

So its been long. Havent had the time really....blogging is the sort of thing i do when i'm totally jobless. And i'm totally utterly jobless only in Manipal.

So what to write about?

Things i've done in the past two weeks (some of it really interesting.....well to me atleast)

1. My project!
To tell you the truth i consider my semester in manipal a picnic compared to this. As my burnt brothers from the Bronx would say "This the shiiiiit !!" . Uh huh.
Yup this is the shit. IIT delhi. Friggin huge! (first reaction), daunting, cold......well its winter so....er....yeah.

Got lost tryin to find the department. When i found the prof's chamber it was kinda unimpressive. One little cubicle with no heater, no lab equipment, workbench or tools. Just a comp.........huh.
Anyhow, got my project sorted out. Its pretty cool. So i've spent the last two weeks (barring two holidays) drinking coffee and tea and soldering this tiny chip to a PCB. Its fun really......and nothing goes better with espresso than solder vapours.......mmmm....trust me.

Anyway the prof's a real nice guy and a real brain too. IIT Kharagpur and Stanford so you can imagine. Helps me out a lot with my circuit and clears doubts about the chip. Its a good team effort! something that my pathetic college will never put in.........waste.

2. Bus-Auto-walk:

It takes me just too friggin long to get to the campus. 2.5 hrs each way!! But the buses are nice. Uncomfortable, yes, but you do get time alone to yourself to think stuff over. Not just the project. Other stuff. Like what the other people in the bus must be doing at their offices. Most of them go to Nehru Place. I suppose they're in one of those small but profitable businesses and trading organizations. Hmmmm.........boring work to me but hey its a living i guess.

Buses are nice. Dirty, yes, but you get to be part of the common man's chariot. And what a fine chariot it is. I actually feel a lot safer in a bus than in a car. Go Diesel its ya birthday, we gonna party cause its ya birthday....Go Go Go Go.....umm......er........heh.

Also, its cheap!! heh heh.

"Mayur Vihar, Noida Mod, Nizamuddin, Kale Khan, Maharani Baag, Kalka Ji, Nehru Place, NEHRU PLACE, N E H R U P L A C E!!!!!!!"

Chugga chugga chugga.....pffffish.


3. Many meetings:

I was very sad on the train coming here. Basically because Ishita and Moha where going away next sem and i was alone on the train. More for ishita. Well i wont go into that....

Anyhow i met Mohu first at the station. He took his damned heavy PC. But it was good to see a friendly face on arrival.

I met Ishita, Jhelum and Ara on the 18th. Pretty soon by my standards, but then i wanted to anyway. And because i wouldnt be able to meet jhelum for a long time after that. They shopped at Janpath. I got dragged along into Janpath. Thank god for Kaustubh Mittal. Comic relief.

Then i met up with some old buddies and headed off to the HT Youth Nexus. It was at The DU Polo Grounds. Right.

None of us knew where North Campus was, forget the damn Polo grounds. We went off on a tangent to the outer ring road (according to my IITian friend Sagar.....gee wiz). Soon we were on the GT road on our way to Chandigarh.
After frantic calls to DU organizers, we found are way to the friggin Polo grounds and guess what!....apart from us, there were like 50 people there.

But the show must go on! And it did. Horribly chugging its way through the Western Vocals and the college rock competition exactly like the DTC bus i had taken on may back from the campus the day before. Except the latter didnt have Himes Ji farting in your face through 1000 watt amps.

After a titillating fashion contest (i've always wanted to use that word hehe) we buggered off to our respective camps, fighting our way through traffic.

Apart from that i met up with Mohu and Prerna at CP. Had Bindal's tea. Once, twice, three times. Then roamed around CP in a circular fashion. Well, i suppose thats because CP is circular.

And today i met up with Ishita and roomie Keshav for some good old fashioned bakchodi. Fun, fun.



4. Madden NFL and american football:

After playing the video game i am thoroughly convinced that there is sufficient reason for the Americans to like this brutal game.

Its actualy a game built solely on strategy.
The game is more like winning mini battles to finally win the war, as is quite evident from the overall look of the game.

Go Patriots!! Woohoo! Gimme a P, Gimme an A, Gimme a.........uh.....mm...yeah sorry.


5. And so it shall be:

Well God is very quick these days.
Mohu goes through the trouble of having to say an emotionaly laden goodbye. Ditto for Ishita.

Only to find out that he cant do his project here because of new anti-database rules in the CSE dept. Haha...now he's gonna get himself a decent enough project to complete in 4 months time. Or 4 weeks time and relax the rest of the way.

Ditto for Ishita. Well, almost. And Ara.
I am happy i say :-)

Well thats all for now folks. More updates will come when Lord Micturat-a-lot can control his bladder. Buhbye.
