the person in this case is a big south indian actress thousands would die for. frankly, i wasn’t ever a great fan of her but from this day i am. after such close encounter, its a great feeling that i am left with which i can’t explain. well i know,  they must be seeing hundreds like me every week but hey… its me!

i did something (stupid, of course) that i can never forget and i bet neither would she (infact, she said that herself)!!!

don’t get taken away by that… this phone certainly goes over iphone but has some features that puts it a step ahead of it. what blew my mind off was the live wallpaper that had a life like effect. the camera and video quality is amazing. its light weight and in great shape. what thirilled me was the way to unlock the screen which is by connecting dots. and the best part is, it costs only 27K, way cheaper than iphone.

so finally, there is a phone that can kick iphone’s nuts off… steve jobs, u can suck it!!!

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!!!

i reloaded the page like 10 times when i first saw this. are you counting yours…?

like i already mentioned somewhere, my cam preparation lasts only as long as it takes walking from hostel to exam hall. it was just like that today too. we had an elective exam which was AI for me. due to the hurry of my last movement preparation i did not bother to check on the seating plan for the day and followed the guy close my number into a room. i asked for the question paper for Btech-IT, choose a place and started giving my exam. i saw that the paper was very easy and general. little later, the attendance sheet came and to my surprise my name was missing on that. i went out to the control room only to find out that my place was actually in another room. i came back, took my answer sheet and the question paper and went to my actual room and finished my exam there. everything was fine until then…

when i came out from the exam and talked to my friends, it took me a movement to realize that i had in fact answered the DSS question paper instead of AI. it struck as a lightning to me. i was speechless. it all started b’coz i had actually followed a DSS guy into his examination hall. Oh God… wats my future with AI???

no wonder why there wasn’t atleast one question from what i prepared!!!

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!!!

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!!!

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!!!
