long time since last post on the blog. it definitely wasn’t for the lack of stories but my laziness might explain that! however, first day of office!

usually by the time i wake up, my family finishes their lunch! so starting the day at 5:00 am is kinda big deal to me. past that, i dressed up… tip-top as many would say and started. office was great with all the buildings and gardens. infact i never clicked so many pics at a time before. long lectures, boring discussions, a stupid lunch and a ditched photo session later, i found my way out and started back for the hotel.

what is chennai without trouble?! this is where the day gets interesting. my hotel was in an area called pallavaram or atleast that was what i thought the name was! so i get on a bus to pallavaram only to realize that the journey’s going to be little longer than usual! the bus covered a different route and was way past the area i was supposed to get off. when the conductor broke this to me, i wished i could see my face!! suggestions were coming in from the co-passengers in all directions but not one of them was in a language i understand. so i got off in another stop and where would i even go?! i had this thing blindly in my mind that my hotel was few kilometers down the same road as offices’s but the bus going in a new route, blew it off. i said to myself… ok, notting to worry (actually that was something to worry!), i had survived chennai before, i can do it again! walking  around for a couple of hours did help! thanks to my gps and to its creators, i was atlast home, no hotel!

1) the time when i wrote one exam for another

you must already know about this blunder if you are a regular reader of my blog. if not, start reading now! so it went like this… i went to the exam unprepared (just as any normal engg student!). i, by mistake, took one question paper for another and started writing it, finished it and even submitted to the examiner. it was then i realized that what a fool i could often be! read more…

2) the day with the chennai trip

how often do you have a hundred things to tell about and all just in one night. it was exactly one of those times. i went to chennai in the day hoping to return by evening. but as it turns out… i miss trains, get robbed, get chased by dogs, held by police, screwed by VIT security all in one night! read more…

3) fire in the hole!

well, there was no fire in any hole. but there indeed was fire in my room, G-753. it was ugadi or sankranti or some telugu festival i dont know about when people set fire to stuff in streets. but in this case i tried that in my room! fire, first went out of control but i could eventually manage to put it out. but the smoke triggered the fire alarm. security officials came to check but i narrowly escaped as i swittched off lights, locked up the room and fled away.

4)  caught for copying

dont think cheap of me. i dont copy, atleast i dont get caught that easily! it was in second year and the day of a lab exam. i hardly had prepared. so i was using my phone for copying transferring data to the answer sheet! invigilator caught me, there was some drama. i was preparing my mind to get kicked by lecturers and parents but just then a senior faculty who taught us in first year comes and rescues me making it my luckiest day. and that was the last time i even turned my head in an exam hall ever!

5) something with a celebrity

i already posted something about this. it was something about doing something to some celebrity. the something reaction of the celebrity turned it out to be something really different. i know there are too many somethings here in this something post but the thing itself was something like that. u get something?! read more…

6) the day i almost broke my bones

if you know me, you know that i am kinda risky person. thanks to that, i once stuck myself in the edge of a quarry in such a position that a slip could actually make me fly for a while! i was scared like hell and dint know what to do. just as i was about to wet my pants, my friend came, took out his belt, threw it at me and pulled me out!

7) for the first time

and was the last time too (for a really good reason!)… but coming back to the point, i always had this big doubt about what it felt like when you are high?! so to find an answer myself, i sipped in a few pegs of solution containing hydroxyl fuctional group at a friends b’day party. it tasted like crap, literally. as i was gradually getting high, i was loosing my common sense. at its peak, i pulled my mobile out, dialed the number of a senior who ragged my friends and talked something that as first year student, i should no talk!

8 ) the payback

as i later woke up the next day, i realized what i had done. now as i regained my lost common sense, i could figure out what messing with a senior means. so there were only two things that can be done (1)apologize and (2)run. i choose the second. six months later however, one day i ran into him unexpectedly… and i am not really proud to mention what happened next!

9) the night on the streets of vellore

when our gang goes for a second show movie, it is usually a custom to spend some time on the roads of vellore! on one such occasion, we were accompanied by about 30-40 other students. then came a buss and the driver offered a ride for Rs.10 each. we all got in. but the driver did not take us to the point he actually said he would drop. about thirty student who all seemed to be together started fighting with the driver. myself with my friends just stood there watching the show. they fought for about half an hour and settled for an refund of Rs.30! can you believe? 30 people fought for over 30 mins for 30 rupees! i wonder what they were gonna do next, share?!

10) year of being a day-scholar

i was joined in VIT as a hosteler  and was never allowed to be a day-scholar by my parents. so in the third year i left hostels, took refund and blew the money off. then started the troubles. with the advent of finger-print attendance system, it became impossible for me to sneaking around in the hostels illegally. so i had to take a room outside for real and cook for myself which my parents donno about till date! it was then i realized how difficult cooking is, seriously how do moms do that?!

i was just “playing” around in the command prompt when some wrong stroke of a key changed the windows administrator password and locked the computer away. the sad part is that i realized this only after i logged off, too late! i made some calls to hp customer support which din’t help. as suggested by a faculty, i went to the center for technical support at VIT. now, they could not help me but they really impressed me with their equipment and expertize. it was then when i wore a pale face as they were taking turns in examining the situation. since i never created a reset disk or took a backup or maintained a higher administrative account, there was absolutely no way my lappy could be reset without losing the installed data.

at last, i went to this guy at the computer store just outside the campus. he managed to extract all the data out of hard disks and format the computer. i had to lose all the installed software and mainly the installed project i am working on for this final semester. the fact that i recovered the precious How I Met Your Mother episodes actually helps a little! re-installing the project would take some time. i somehow managed this review with the little chunks of source code i had. we have the final review in about a week’s time. let’s see if its enough time to pull things back together.

meanwhile, to all those who are reading this now, i seriously advise, create a password reset disk and save it before you close this page!!
