Long time no see
It's been a long time since I had been here for the last time. And now I have just 28 minutes for what I want to write.
Why many people (includes me) are not able to be really systematic? How many of you dont look into any extra-curricular things during your working hours? Forget the postponable but important mails you send during office hours. Other than that, we tend to do many other useless things so that to make our time useless.
-- this part was removed after second thought -- REASON -> M$ neednt come in all my posts - it becomes boring. --
(There is a small group of my bachelor classmates - we ourselves call proudly "THE BVB GANG") The members of gang might remember that a couple of months ago I had raised this question of being efficient at office. I am trying from such a long time to correct myself in this wastage of office hours. I havent seen any success yet!! :(
Anyway.. this topic now comes as a result of my last night conversation with balaji and my today's work (almost nothing i did except for the discussion with peter). Feeling so damn lazy. Was browsing for sometime, was doing mostly useless thing. I am not feeling well - "something missing in my heart" kind of feeling. May be it's because of the slight headache. Or its because of the depression caused by not seeing the sun for almost a week.
I am thinking whether to write about the decision I made to be like my colleagues.
At office, they just do the real work. And the whole of the evening is free for anything they want. I should try that. I dont have any clue about being successful about it. (Did you notice? - I wrote what I was confused to write or not)
So much for it.
- Took my swimming hall card yesterday. Will be starting swimming... either today or tomorrow.
- They took away my insurance, since I havent given the student ID card.
- Will get out of office in another 10 minutes.
Some people are quite creative in blogging, my blogging almost sucks. I know why. Because.. those blogs they do a reading after they write .. then do a re-reading and an editing .. and beautification process. And at the end it is really polished. Being a man with no such patience and not desperate to see my readers say WOW about my blog, I dont do that. That's it.
So much for this also.
It's again a loooooong time since I heard from Karthik and Vimal. If possible, should talk to them over weekend. All my enthu has gone .. .after I went to the weather forecast page!!
Tail Piece: All the thoughts are completely juggled up in my mind and came out with no order. Please forgive me.

Results of discontinuation of medication
Suffering from the usual post-lunch-syndrome, commonly known as "being sleepy". The medicine I usually take is going to the library, find out the silent corner and have a nap. Planning not to continue with that medication. Browsing or thinking something weird is better than sleeping in the library.
Browsing Results:
Browsing Results:
- Found out the details of expenses for the conference at Berlin. One week at Berlin at the end of July. I hope - the amount I asked would be sanctioned by GK (for my travel, accommodation and registration for the symposium)
- Downloaded Office 12 beta. Why should I? I had tried that already at Microsoft. "Sexy" software - I would say.
- Was shocked to know that they are taking away the admin privileges from developers (at Microsoft) - Am almost sure... It wont work. For eg., in MBOS (aka Dynamics), without admin how can one restart IIS? And with the servers I dont have any clue - how things would work without admin rights. Anyway their headache.
Thought Result: Decided to take up three small projects. All of them are of same category. The idea is to solve every question in the exercise of some books and definitely to publish them. Would be nice I suppose, also very helpful. Following are the books.
- The "C" programming language - K&R (am forgetting C)
- Introduction to Algorithms (aka CLR, Cormen, Rivest etc.)
- A book on algebra, mostly "Abstract Algebra" by Herstein
So, now I shall get back to work/reading. Wrote about these projects in public so that I have to save my face and hence I will really put efforts to do the ones I listed.
So that's it. So long...

Escape from a girl...!!
Just came in to my office. Am so tired and sweating.. [my baniyan sticks to my body. In some time it will start stinking too]. If I dont write right now, about my struggle to get away from her, I will never.
Wait... let me get a cup of coffee and come back.
Every morning 180 ml of mild coffee has become the starter of my work [do i work?] This is after the one big cup of tea I have from home/room. The coffee maker makes more noise than the amount of coffee it makes. I am not so happy with the black-coffee it makes. For my horror, here everyone drinks black coffee.
Back to the main story. This morning is pretty dull. The sun hasnt come yet, full clouds, it might rain at any time. I had started cycling so sleepishly. Even before comleting the first 5 minutes of my 50 minutes journey to the dept, I had had 3 red signals!! Okay.. that was the third one.. waiting for the green!!!
Here she comes, in another cycle, a bit smaller than mine. She has a small knapsack on her back. I just glanced at her without paying any attention, and turned back to the signal. Green came, I rushed. Now, for the coming 10kms, there is only one signal. I just overtook the short chinese guy who was expertising slow-cycling.
Hey, she just flew past me, and was going fast like a rocket. Then I glanced again, but now with paying enough attenction so that it could be even called staaring ;). she was kinda cool. Wearing very tight biking-dress which shows all the curves which were really of terrific proportion. Enjoyed for a second. But, that's not the point. I never wanted to be overtaken by anybody...[They who have travelled with me in my car(back home) know how i feel about that] That too by a girl!! [No hard/soft feelings towards girls... but a boy never wants to be next to a girl]. Started chasing her, with all my power. It took just a couple of seconds for me. I was ahead of her by about 10 metres.
I think, she too had the same feeling as mine. Every second I looked back to see her approaching me. And I was flying, to keep the distance. I cant lose. Near the bridge where I usually find it difficult to do the uphill, I flew my bike in 2 seconds... [It seemed she did in lesser time]. We had almost covered some 8-9 kms. I was still going in front... We were nearing the signal.. where we might have to stop. I knew, once I stop, getting back to the speed was next to impossible...
As if she read my thoughts, just 500 metres before the signal she took a deviation and went in a different route!! I was so happy and relieved. I suddenly slowed my bike and started riding peacefully. I just wished that she shouldnt suddenly come out of some pocket road and give me trouble again. When I looked at my watch, for my horror, we had come all the way [10 kms] in some 12-15 minutes. [Even though the rest 4 kms I took 20 minutes]
That's all for now. Had wanted to scribe something about Orkutting. Will do later.
