a good news after ages (the last i heard was that puli utterly flopped!). after two days of edging excitement, the covers unveiled throwing Cognizant’s results out as the tightly packed anna auditorium’s roof almost blew off! Cognizant recruited  a whooping sum of 1643. that’s more than the number of eligible students in most colleges. that number also happens to be the world’s highest number of students placed by a company at a single time. i don’t think i can even consider other options. the package is decent and moreover there is no bond so i get to work my way. CTS has a very established R&D department so that glues me on to it more. just can’t wait for the joining date!

Intrusion Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks is all i am seeing, hearing, dreaming and even smelling about!

sorry, i din’t introduce you to my project. meet ID in WSN, my 6 credit project. two more important people in the story are my project partner and our guide. all this started the day me and my partner decided to do our 7th semester project on intrusion detection (bad day it was!). we finished almost half the project only to realize  that its was all wrong. well, that part came from our guide!

since then it became a full day routine for me and my partner to hunt down all the people who did any similar project. i extended my search even to forum discussions on internet. till the moment, we have found few people who did a project like ours in the past. but guess what? they all did in the way we started in. i don’t really understand who’s wrong… the people i met or our guide or my time!!!

graVITas is a technical feast being conducted this weekend in our college. last year’s graVITas experiences were not so sweet so i decided to give it a finger this year and put myself away from that. and meanwhile i would be out getting some air of pondicehrry. its only two hours from here so always a preferred destination. though i have already been to pondy twice before, it never gets old. the best things about pondy for me are its beaches.

verry exited about the trip!!!

sorry, i lost track of seconds! but what is important here is that i talked to someone after a very long time (actually, i had to!). i don’t really know if i am happy about it or not. however, that came almost as a surprise and what could i talk about??

when someone tells you something and you don’t like it and say no, it is a common courtesy that you should never talk to that someone again. they are called manners!! huh, i was living peacefully assuming i came over all that happened in past but what happened today seems to be putting me back where i don’t want to be.

i guess, i have to start over from scratch again! oh dear… so much for you!!!

this should be the most idiotic thing i ever did… in fact most idiotic thing anyone ever did!

like i already mentioned somewhere, my cam exam preparation lasts only as long as it takes me 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 (that should have been my first clue!). 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 and took their question paper. Oh God… wats my future with AI???

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

it was a great day today. perhaps the best of this summer. i was at my elder sister’s place who had a kid few months ago. it was some function about the kid (dont know what it’s called in english!). there were many people from my family of whom at least half were out of my knowledge! there were also many other babies other than my nephew which only made the day more delightful. small babies are indeed the cutest things on the planet!!!

the dilemma of months ends today. i thought this internship would really help me with few extra lines in my resume. but seems they have some space constraints (as i was told), little disappointed! but on the bright side, i can continue my sleep uninterrupted up to 12 noon for rest of these holidays!!!

i m in hyderabad right now. 2 more days of vacation. the thing that troubles me is the project review immediately after going. after a tough time in finding the guide last week, finally settled with our srq madam. she seems very liberal in class but how far she’ll be helpful with the project is to be seen.

primary reason i came to hyderabad is for the varudu movie. din’t find time yet. but surely i try to make it in these 2 days. what i heard about the movie is not good that’s no way stopping me from going to it.
