Only memories last forever

Hi ppl ! I know its been a really long time I made a post ! I donno if it was my academics (finally its over!) or my laziness has kept me away from blogging. Well, I apologize for this.

I make this post to tell you about yesterday. I say its a day that's going to be in my memories for ever. A long awaited day! I met my best-est friend, after 3 years!! It was still early in the morning when I got a call from her and I was just out of bed. We planned to meet up. I quickly completed my driving classes and left to her home. You know how it feels to meet your best-est friend after so many years!! It just can't be expressed in words. Then we went shopping and a movie. We chatted all day... Stories of past... Stories about present. And then we went for a walk in sankey silently listening to our common favorite songs. I can't believe she still remembers my favorite songs! Later in the evening we had to bid goodbye to the other, ending the wonderful day.

It got back all those memories of my college days... Those days I miss so much... I long to get back too ! Time just flies even before you realize it. But you can't help it. You have to move on. All that can be done is wait for those few minutes when you can meet or atleast speak to the people you care the most about. Its only memories that will stay with us for ever!

//Current favorite song: Kabhi kabhi aditi... (jaane tu ya jaane na)

My first off-campus interview

Today I attended my first ever off-campus interview with a company called mFormation. I had never heard that company until I got a call from them. Well, it doesn't matter, it was my first interview outside the college. This was the first time I had an opportunity to take a look inside what u call a software company. The place looked like a completely new world to me. Its so unlike our colleges and classroom. I can't believe the company was so silent. Hardly any murmurs, hardly people speaking anything.

No wonder all my seniors keep telling, 'Enjoy as much as u can in college. Once you are in a company you can't have that much fun'. I totally agree with them. I seriously wonder if I ll get adjusted to this so called corporate life.

// they jagged me with 3 rounds of tech interview and 1 round of HR. But, its ok... I attended a proper interview. Got a feel of a real interview. Results will be out in a week.

Udbhav 08

Ah! writing a post after a long time! Can't help.. this semester has kept me really busy... I make this post to tell you about udbhav, my college fest. It started this tuesday and wud go on till saturday. The best part (i would call) of udbhav is the amazing dress codes we have during that week.
Tuseday was dots and checks day... quite boring. But still, it was nice to see people in colorful dots. Only guys were in checks. Wednesday was tri-color day. We had to come in one of the colors in our National flag. oops! i missed that day cos i had to prepare for my seminar scheduled on monday.

Wednesday was chor police day.. wow! people had to dress up like chor(robber) or police. I had the shock of my life when i saw my friends dressed like chor. They looked so much like hi-fi robbers, i really got scared for a minute. I really appreciate their guts! There was ILM prelims too. I hadn't practiced nor did i have a faint idea i would participate. I dunno what happened to me, i badly wanted to sing when i saw the stage and the mic. It was so tempting. I dunno from where i got the guts, i went and registered and i SANG! Finally, at the end of my college life I got some guts. Probably thats the only thing I learnt in engg ;) But the best part was not that i sang. Dee got motivated seeing my impulsiveness and she too took part(in carnatic... an amazing singer man!) and she WON ! she got first prize! I m so happy for her! :)
Today, the 4th day of udbhav 'Ethnic Day'. Wow!! I wore a saree... aaa... the costume i like the most. But believe me, its really difficult to stay in saree all day! But I dont mind. I love it. Also it was rose day. I too got some. But, the most shocking of all was, when I got a rose from an unknown guy... He said he has heard me in mukthi and liked my talk! gosh! I can't believe ppl remember I spoke in mukthi! Mukthi has made me famous :)
Tomorrow is T-shirt day. We'll havta go in the college T-shirt. Dunno if i ll go. I gotta prepare for this stupid seminar. I pity myself :(

ps: this is my last udbhav. I m gonna miss it !

Wonderful viva !!

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word lab exams is the viva! I should say I ve experienced the best of the vivas till now... Here I list those that I would never forget...

It was my 3rd sem data structures lab. The guy who took viva, i should say, had an excellent (bahh!) logic for the way he was conducting it. He called three of us to viva. We went and took our places in front of him, all tensed. He pointed to the guy to my right and he said 'ok, what do you know about stack? Tell me..' and the guy started.. After a minute or so, he turned at me and he said 'tell me about queue' while the guy to my right was still speaking. Its a natural reflex for a human being to stop talking when the listener turns to another person. That s what my frnd did.. as I began speaking. This lecturer all of a sudden turned at that guy and started blasting him for having stopped!! He wanted both of us to speak simultaneously.. And he didn t stop there. He asked another guy to speak about linked list and all the three of us were speaking simultaneously !!! Anddd....the lecturer was speaking to somebody else over the phone !!! He says this is how our mental stability can be tested !!

Now, about my 7th sem viva. A lecturer gave a binary sequence and asked a guy 'what does this sequence suffer from..bit error or burst error?'. The guy to whom this question was put did nt know the answer.. He said 'Ma'am, I don t know the answer. But, i think its burst error because bit error is too simple a question to ask and if your asking me this in viva, i has to burst error' LOL !!! What a logic !! Great !!

ps : I had my last lab exam of my engineering career today..

Kick start !!

Whoa! I m back in form :)
I ve re-started my music classes..after much longing to get back. My new teacher is pretty good. This time i ve even started off with bhava geethe too.. Here s my first bhava geethe...

Birthday blast !!!

This birthday is my most sentimental birthday since it s my last birthday as an enggineering student... The day started out with a li'l air of gloom (cos i had got my 6th sem results just the previuos day).. but, the evening was amazing...

As the clock struck 12, i started recieving calls from all my best-est friends... so, couldn t sleep much in the night. As ever I woke up late in the morning again... Got ready hurriedly and left to college... Got royally blasted by a few lecturers coz I did nt score well... Then, went back to class with all my mood spoilt..but, thank God my frnds were there to make me feel better... then, the usual class and seminar lecturers.....

And ah! I said the best part was the evening...yeah!!! I took my frnds for a treat.. It was a heavy downpour and we went to have chats !!! yum it was !!! and a nice chat, rather gossip i could say, with my frnds....and came back home...now, writing this blog [:)]

Not sure why !!!

I m not sure why all such things are running in my mind...
I m not sure if its good or bad...
I m not sure if such feelings have to continue...
I m not sure...

The past few weeks has really been testing my patience, tolerance-level, my sensitivity etc. a li'l too much. Too many disappointments over the last few weeks..

I stopped my music classes [:(]damn !!! My heart throbing with shear regret...
I learnt some truth... and it was the first time I realised how bitter is truth...

A best-est friend has gone outta contact..I ve been trying really hard to get in touch with you..But, it s really sad that you aren t replying...you dunno how much i m missing you. I soo badly want to speak to you, coz i know its only you who has the patience to listen to my woes. Those days when you were by my side...those hours we spent fighting for the corner place..those minutes we spent trying to understand Doppler s effect.. those days you answered my attendence and i answered yours... those wonderful memories are disturbing me too much... And today when I really want you by my side...ur nt there...why da ?! Hope atleast your fine and happy in life....

Life is taking too many turns..all unexpected turns... I m frigthened if i m losing out in this battle... It s become more like 'struggle for existence'... [hoping to survive]
