I am going to India!! Yay! I am leaving tomorrow and flying directly to Pune.. No more waiting at Mumbai and stupid 4+hrs ride to Pune. But I don't fly SQ any more.. :( This time its Indian Airlines. I hope its OK.I hope to be able to blog from there. And hopefully upload some pictures. Lets see..This post will also mark the end of an Era. I will be leaving a lot of old things and habits and

I am addicted again.. .. This time its Piya Bavari Again by Ajay Pohankar. It's quite the same type of music as Time Traveler, but it’s different.It’s same in the sense that is that same fusionistic sound. Lot of synth, a little trance and quite a bit lounge, mixed with classical Bandishes and Thumris. Makes one amazing combination. Not too classical for those who can't take it, but classical

I seriously need to take back my last post. All the software has been acting up since I wrote about it!Sigh.. so here goes the rant...MS Word 2007.. Crashed a few times in the 2-3hrs I was using it. (I should really really learn LaTeX). It gave me a lot of problems with drawing, especially ungrouping and regrouping.. Also spell check. The feature which I was kinda excited about, 'save as pdf'

As I was pointed out by a friend yesterday, "its not that I have been wasting time since my exams got over, but my priorities are just all over the place". The list of things that I have to do is still unchecked and I am still busy!!As for the things I have been doing, surfing the web and checking out software. So here's a quick summary of findings from the past few weeks... and more..Office 2007

This is cool! Finally they are going to try to reduce the amount of plastic bags that we use. A lot of trash can be saved if people are forced to reuse platic bags at the supermarket. One more step to lesser trash! Yay.Its wierd, I was never a tree hugger for most of my life.

It's amazing how time flies . Exams end.. Projects end... Semsters ends... Years end and Eras end.It's also ironic that I have not posted for the last 2-3 weeks just when so many things happened. I'd rather not start on that.When a chapter ends, another begins. The old chapter should not be delved on for much longer.

As a part of the fringe benefits of doing my FYP in I2R, I got to attend many interesting seminars and talks there. Just attended one on Web2.0 today. Very simple, very straight forward, and very interesting.Reminds me of a blog post from a friend..:pWikipedia has a nice long article on it.A few points I took home..All the Web2.0 applications are content driven.

I started listening to Time Traveller by Rahul Sharma yesterday. I tell you I cant stop listening to it. I wanna go get the CD this weekend.Its quite fusionistic. But more of pop+classical. Personally, it's the sound of the Santoor that got me addicted. It so soothing, so bright, so cheerful!Here are some excerpts.DestinationsThe Time TravellerIt has 9 tracks. 4 are on the same dhun, but have

Blog-hopping as always, I found a friend mention that she wished "there was some kind of pill I could take to give me immunity from ever falling sick."I was thinking.. what other pills would I wanna have....1.Pill to fall asleep immediately. For those sleepless nights/days2.Pill to not fall asleep. That doesn't taste horrible like coffee.3.Pill to focus. Less extreme way to control my gameplay

Some nice features including the ability to share with people; Creating calendars and saving them as files; multiple viewing styles....

I have been suffering from what I term as the Post FYP Syndrome (PFS).It has two main aspects to it, the psychological aspect, and the physiological aspect.First the physiological aspect, lack of sleep: After conditioning my body to be dependent on caffeine for almost 2-3 months, the sudden withdrawal (which was done with a lot of determination) is causing havoc. Cravings are a huge problem...

I have been listening to this one album for a few weeks. I got to know about it on MIO around 2+ years ago... Seems that one of the tracks was popular in India, and rest were not even know.

Then it will use the digits of pi to create a sequence of notes and play it. Sounds really cool if you use different scales or raags.Try using pentatonic raags, then you can span two octaves.

We just need some good soldering tools (which I hope to buy) and some good debugging tools like multimeter and oscilloscope (which I hope I wont have to buy...).Oh and the most important, the PIC programmer. We actually built a

Went to Marché today.... TheWeed belanjahed us there... :D Thank you dude... It was great...Though I must say that I dont like Marché. Don't get me wrong, we had a blast! But, I just don't like the concept of the restaurant.. All the food on display, is a huge temptation. I am spoilt for choice when I want to get food. I walk around and around...and I can't decide what I want to get.. Ahhhhhhhh..

I have never been a sucker for reality TV.. Well almost never... I kinda used to follow Survivor during the 1st and 2nd seasons.. But, recently with the renewed zeal in reality TV shows, I have been thinking of them again..Seems that Idol fever hit India last year, and soon after there were 20 other shows trying to sponge off Indian Idols popularity. Unfortunately, in that fray, one of my

I am obsessed with sound. Its crazy, everywhere I go, I hear sound. Haha..Jokes aside, sound is really an amazing thing. Everying from it creation to perception is incredible.Superfacially, it is very simple and elegant. Sound is vibrations of various frequiencies. It travels as longitudinal waves and is perceived by our ear again as a mixture of frequiencies.However, if you really look into

It’s really great to be back!!The best part is the way I came back. OK, except for the fact that I almost did not have a New Years Countdown. I had to fly on 31st Dec so I missed the celebrations. And since I flew west, I was afraid I would reach the dateline before 12 midnight and thus miss it. Luckily the route took us north and we were near Anchorage when 'clock struck twelve o o'.Anyway, the

So after a reallly long and boring flight I am finally here.The movies were crappy, the screen resolution absolutely sucked.They took out most of the cool games from the games selection.The food was OK, but 3 meals in 16hrs is too much, esp. if all you do is to sit and/or sleep.I remember I had once(when I was like 5-6) wowed vowed that I would never travel to US, unless there was a faster

And even prediction of such, cannot help much since the power of Nature is overwhelming.What is even saddening is that the region of Kashmir has never seen peace for eons now. I mean I have always heard of the

Today, I am NOT going to bitch about the professors from ECE. I think we have had enough of that. Instead, I am going to praise them today! (OMG!! Is that even possible??).By the grace of god, our department is blessed with a few souls whom I respect with all my heart. How I wish we had more of them....One of these, is my professor for my EE4**** module from "Communications" concentration. His

Alright...So I am looking for a nice pair of headphones. Not too expensive, but something that gives a nice flat frequency response and undistorted sound at considerably high levels.With some help I managed to shortlist the Sennheiser HD497. I was looking for it at a Best Denki store when I chanced upon another headphone from another brand (I seem to forgotten the brand and the model). The

Pardon my French.....I watched this movie again yesterday. (Please dont ask me why I am watching movies...:$)I still find it a very amazing movie. Its a really simple story about an amazing lady named Amélie Poulain. She is played by the lovable Audrey Tautou. The best part is, at the end you feel very nice, very elated. The beauty lies in the simplicity of the movie. The There is no drama, no

I never understand some people. And NO, I am not talking about politicians or that new lecturer in your lvl 3000 class .I am talking about people who do moronic things and instead of just stopping there...do they advertise their moronic actions..... Let me exemplify what I mean.I saw this a couple of days ago on the door of my dorm's (PGP) common "Reading Room".I mean how stupid can anyone get???

Saturday, 24th September 2005.This day I will remember for the rest of my life (Doesn't count if I forget about it when I am really really old).It was the day when I met one of the greatest there has ever been, at least for me. His music has enthralled, captivated, fascinated, mersmerised (Ok I am running out of verbs) me! The simplicity and at the same time the complexity of his music is

Watched a show by this standup commedian Russell Peters yesterday. It was like a clip that my friend sent me. Pretty funny stuff. You guys, try to watch it. You can torrent it.(Thanks to the guys who are hosting it);) He's got some nice takes on people of different races. I mean it can be a bit crude sometimes but hey, its always good to be able to laugh on yourself and your kind. And if you

I have been contemplating about blogging for a few months. Its kinda fun, but it needs discipline. The thing that I lack the most. I mean I even had a 'cool' website once,back in secondary school days. Don't know what happened to it. Cant even seem to find it. All I remember was that it was hosted on Geocities, and the address has a "/CapeCanaveral/" inside!!!So I decide to give it a try. I guess
