Birdie...that's my new pastime to the already long list of pastimes I do in my prime time.

Well..itz not like I have decided to go out and play golf right in the middle of our greens but just do some bird watching in our beautiful campus(Seriously no pun intended...itz more of the Dr. Salim Ali kind with a tolerance of 4-5%).

To start with I decided to do a bit of research(...dat reminds me I have a PPL tomorrow!) on the white feathered flock that you would have probably noticed in the central lawns. Well according to the bird watching techniques I googled out...d first thing is jus the same thing u do in your exam paper i.e Guess. So I guessed that they were birds(lol)... Well they were and still are Herons...

Now Herons are of a of a large variety and even google gave up on them ,I tried to derive my own conclusions and ended up with egret but that turned out to be the other names of heron...so here is another Open Ended problem....maybe someone could do a BPL on it.

While on my way to the Zhopdi to meet monty python(well..jus to have a half fry) I found a bird which I guessed was 'Unicorn Bird' 'coz it had a conic projection on its head but well it wasn't to be so 'coz it seems unicorn birds are the rare and endangered blue-horned curassow, also known as the unicorn bird. ... found in Bolivia so I changed its name to horn bird(well it could be cross between hornbill and a bored bird).Again another open ended problem...

The third bird I saw was Bingo.....Vijay Mallya's Kingfisher sitting atop one of our intelligent lamp posts(Intelligent 'coz they understand the sentiments of desolation).That one keeps coming behind my house so it was easy....after a few more 'Significant Successes' which Include the Crow, The sparrow, the eagle, an ostrich from intra-campus, a migratory pair from loveberia and some ornithologists in the library.

After such an entertaining experience that contributed significantly to my knowledge of diversity in unity ..(dats right) I turned my attention on to my bed which appeared like a Nice nest ready to set up a new home albeit that was not possible due the legacy of the Don & Diva so I still remain Single....

I even found a birdie connection to Quark ..quack,quack jus like the Tom and Jerry days...nyways sice itz been over I have hardly anything that would involve me as much as Quark'08 did... looking forward to Quark'09 have a tweety night,

Yours truly,

Days are Nice, Nights are Nicer...I live somewhere inbetween

2day was another nice :) day....
Reason 1:Test-1 was completed in an exceptionally shocking (es) manner...the post below did do some small wonders though..

Reason 2: For all those who complained that they weren't getting interesting Quark Query Calls...I got mine first one for Waves today and that too from a homo sapien 8.0 (The fairer Sex) from PCCE......

...apart from that there were a lot of other nice things.I'm thankful to whoever it might be for giving me the my daily dose of BPS-Bijli, Pani, Sadak sans the Snake....Well I got 2 reports to write and lotsa other work to do but thanks to my intelligent,hardworking,dedicated neighbours I will hopefully be rewarded for my decision to bestow my faith on them for trusting them with my Mup & MT reports...the rest of the work is helped by this single word:Procrastination......

Well dats enough I guess, ought to catch some sleep 'coz smeone jus pinged me calling me a SDB (sleep deprived being)

Sweet Dreams :)

CGPA - 10 ways to get a 10 in 10 hours with 10 chapters remaining

Well I think the title seems appropriate for someone who has an ES 2 paper tomorrow and needs to know how much one has to prepare for this Electric Shock 2.A search on Google for CGPA was(ob!) all about CGPA but only one among the zillionth result stood out from the rest of the flock(not that it was very heartening to see it but yeah it was what I wanted) Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical association(Short,Sweet CGPA..).A little scroll down revealed another interesting fact posted in Intel's recruitment profile in Malaysia-" You must possess a Master's degree or a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering or a related field with a minimum CGPA of 3.0/4.0." Well dats something nice to here.A similar search on orkut just threw up communities in thousands having CGPA ***** in them(The 5 stars are a mark of solidarity towards Chetan Bhagat's 'Inspiring' novel).

Well(4 d umpteenth time..) I may not be the best person to comment on CGPA 'coz I have always managed to as my peers call it 'jump over d line..'-courtesy ARC, but I would still like to pen down a few things that I think I should do now dat I'm actually in the situation of that title(jus 5 chapters though...!!)

1)Flush your brain clean 'coz else every time u try to read ur peripheral vision will suddenly tend to get better than Rajv... Singh Rathode and u'll start spotting things that u wudn't know existed in ur room...
The best way to do this is counting sheep albeit in BITSian way...thats just going out and finding out how many rooms in ur hostels have the sum of squares of their room no equal to multiples of 7(In case u hav Maths) or going to ur server room and pulling a line or two and checking wat happens..(In case u hav ES-2) or better still cutting down your lan cable to check whether the fibres used have the CE(That's Energy compliant..not China Electricals as smeone in my school used to say) embedded on them(Communication student..and if u r CS jus google the alphabets of Swahili and find out the meaning of Lol..

2)Understand the difference between listening and Hearing Music. Sean Paul and Linkin Park are to be heard while AR Rehman is to be listened too...else u'll just be left comfortably numb about what you were planning to do..

3)The Syllabus is not your master, U r ur own..don't let the book drink you, drink the book till u 're semi-intoxicated and have reached the peak of your gaussian performance.Come back only if u start missing the book more than ur Home.

4)Change ur startegy with every chapter..better every second page..start reading upside down..right-left or back to front..or just go to Wiki(The only time u use this BITSAA sponsored LAN for what it is not meant for) and key in the chapter Name...Alternate Text with Lecture slides or better still ur friends concise notes made especially to appreciate ur abscence from the LT's(In such circumstances your friends tend to seriously narrow down to 1 or 2 esp. if u r in a boys hostel).

5)Think about why you are doing what you are..sink in the feeling of what ur dream in life is and remember that ES2 makes not much of a difference to it either way....(Unless of course u plan start the lucrative venture of repairing the BITSian Transformer!!)

6)1 hour of performance is all that matters for the marks you want..so cool..and believe me thaat's the only thing that works in the hall no matter whetehr u hav studied 5 hours or 5 months for it..

7)Optimize ur score by planning out your answer sheet.. full marks are ur assets=what you don't know is ur liability* what you know are your stock holdings.. buy stocks sell liabilities..hw u do that depends on ur experience and once again cool...

8)Be comfortably Numb before and Numb afterwards 'coz watever you do, watever u say dosn't matter the moment ur paper gets over..

9)U always should appreciate the BITsian system which gives u so may opportunities..for the rest remember that there are always 50% people below the average..so itz nothing to bother abt..I hav been in that situation arnd 12 out of the 19 subjects I have had..and still I've scraped an A..(More reason not to study for tomorrow)

10)Rank ur priorities: Remember there are only two ways-Either U get there or U don't and In either case u r not loosing anythng so jus giv it ur best Shot...Bindaas..

Well that's a lot of advice i believe..time to practice before I preach...itz still in the Beta stage..Update will be available only after electric shock 2 tomorrow..

Ciao...

A blog to blog....

Well this is my 2nd blog...'coz due to some NTR reason the other had to be closed down.For those who haven't experienced the circle of life well here's an example that is the simplest revealation of this and you all must be experiencing daily...the 'fwd:...' that you forward comes back to you with more 'fwd:fwd:fwd:...' a pointless waste of server resources and your valuable time.Well you may not mind just clicking the delete option on it but for those who understand the terms 'environment' and 'earth' would probably understand the Implication those unnecessary,inactive communities on orkut and these 'fwd:fwd:fwd:..' have on us.They consume such a byte^terabyte^99999999 Gjoule of energy that google's contemplating a 6 football court sized server area in Portugal jus for this purpose..d same amount of energy that could power our campus for a million years..so folks jus giv it a thought the next time you press the Forward button.

Right now I'm mid-way through the tests and Waves'08(http://www.bits-waves.org) is also approaching but I still can't get off my QUARK'08 hangover. Itz been beutiful and I believe we'll make it bigger, better and ob..(no pun here) more beutiful :)

Time to sleep I guess 'coz my quota of 10GB songs is almost getting exhausted...Good Night..


NTR-Not to be revealed!!
Facts can be excused to be approximated 'coz my numbers are dyslexic... :)
