the long awaited day has arrived. results of the supply exams i wrote few weeks ago are out. atlast i am clear of any backlogs. well, like i said, that was intentional (and stupid too) which costed me a chance in companies that have visited campus so far this year.

since the time i came to college after summer, everyone and everything seems to be talking about placements. for my burden then, i had to slip off in every such conversation but not from now. since its phase two of placements, i am eligible for all the companies comming from now. so dear companies… one at a time please!!!

as a fan of google i hate to admit this, google chrome sucks!

i had been using chrome for almost an year by now and never had a hitch with it. all was well for so long but suddenly these days, it started troubling very much. it gets stuck up in middle of anything and wont respond for a while. i don’t know if its just with me or so with everyone else. whatever… i liked the new interface of firefox 4 very much and supposed its the time for a change.

firefox 4 seems fine. i am trying to dress it up in the firefox mockups theme which will give it a more chromish look. the only problem i have now is importing all bookmarks & passwords from chrome which is difficult as there is no facility of a direct import provided. i guess, i’ll have to start over from scratch again!!!

some of them like me, some of them hate me, some of the don’t even know me! but there is some thread that binds them all together and brings them to my list of special friends. special because they are…… hmm, i better not mention that!!!

since its the placement season, i think a good opening would be…..

The following people have been short-listed for special friends

ever tried???

neither did i but this is how far hunger takes you! i was damm hungry and i only had a pack of maggi noodles. there was no boiler nor a heater anywhere and all i could find was an iron box. looked impossible at first but hey… its me!

amidst huge mockery i started off by inverting the iron box, placing a steel tumbler over that and let the water in it boil. and then i emptied the maggi noodles and the tastemaker into the water. stirred for a minute and…

finally, my friends, i pulled it off and should i say… maggi never tasted so great!!!

my phone screwed up this evening. seems it had its independence at last. it was a fall of about 8 feet down, which i could have handled comfortably but the poor thing could not! it served me for almost an year. it was a smart, stylish and a tough dude!! it survived severe experiments in my hands even those like flashing. it was going to celebrate its b’day next month but see the irony. my phone was like a trophy for one of my big adventures of all times and that only makes it more special. may its soul rest in peace!!!

it was such a busy week, one of the rare times when i work hard. i had been preparing for the supplementary exam which i had this morning. no movies, no serials, no jibber-jabber all the week…….

the subject which i had was a tough one and since it was a supply, there was no other chance. the paper wasn’t so tough but lengthy. so lengthy that in the last hour i just closed my eyes and scribbled like anything (u can understand how that affected hand-writing). i wish the evaluator too closes his while correcting!!!

now when you visit harshix, do not forget to get into your sweaters since its gonna be snowing here… all the year!!!

right from the movement i saw this on a website (that i am not proud to mention!), i just could not wait any longer to get that on mine. and finally, a few clicks and minutes later i could make it up for my site. its damm cooool!!!!!!

some of the status updates in facebook and orkut make me feel very sorry! i don’t understand if they think they are cool or catchy. for instance there was a guy who wrote lyrics of some song which i bet he doesn’t understand. there was another case where someone wrote about some travel experience (trust me, it wasn’t a status update but a full story!). there was again my friend who updated his status in a very funny way and claims to be hacked though i seriously doubt that!

to mark a token of sarcasm for all such people, i have decided to throw around some of the lamest status updates on facebook. i am sure you won’t find any lamer stuff anywhere else. keep checking on my facebook wall…..

i jumped off my seat as i read this mail. since i flunked in an exam of last semester (actually, that was intentional and turned out to be a big mistake!), i cannot appear for any company’s interview until i clear it off. at the time of exams i din’t expect core companies to be visiting campus so soon. e bay, which is in list of my favorite companies, declared its interview on 05/08 and already shortlisted students. for my current arrear, i was’t shortlisted for the written test… at first. but thanks to my website and all the webbie stuff i started, i may get into the lists for the test. i never thought they would help me this way! e bay is giving chance to students who have experience in web designing, open source development, forum participation and such other stuff.

since results of the supplementary come out only after august, i was counting only on companies visiting beyond that. e bay’s re-consideration was very helpful. now its to be seen how much use i can make of it!
