Results Out And I’m Free!

The highly qualified webmasters employed by Anna Univ finally remembered the password to their web hosting account and uploaded the 7th semester and 8th semester results on Friday.
Evaluation was lax this time and I easily passed all the subjects. So that finally ends The Curse of Engineering once and for all. I am supposed to [...]

Get Out And Stay Out

This year seems to be the time for incompetent narrow-minded people to get kicked out of their jobs.
George Bush, considered the worst President ever. Bush will be given the boot later this year. I hope the Americans figure out a way to impeach the bastard and take away the billions he and his cronies made.
The [...]

I’m Not Going… Yet

I had been quite annoyed from the time we received the email asking us to report for training on the 23rd of this month at Mysore. After four years of engineering I had expected a nice long holiday to recover; not a measly 52 days.
I spent the beginning of this week preparing for the two [...]

Yes I’m There! Just Not Right Now

I don’t continuously monitor my instant messenger for new messages since I’ll be playing a game, watching a video in full screen mode or just away somewhere else. Whenever I get back I see a few messages:
r u there?
are you there?
hi are u busy?
And then the person who left the message would have gone offline. [...]

They want me to come chill with them on June 23rd at their hangout in Mysore. I told them to come to Elliots beach instead but they said heat exhaustion was not their thing. So I have to go all the way there.
There go my holidays. I [...]

Back From Vacation

I’m back in town.
Munnar was alright. The weather was a welcome change from the blistering heat of Chennai and it was comfortable falling asleep under the thick blankets and waking up late. The tourist traps were noisy and dirty and I could convince my parents to skip them only when they found out that [...]

It’s A Fracture, Yaar

My foot still hurts after yesterday’s accident and I have trouble putting weight on that foot. My little toe was swollen and slightly discoloured so I suspected that I might have a hairline fracture. My dad also insisted that I get anti-tetanus shot within 24 hours of yesterday’s accident so off we went to the [...]

They Crippled Me

Stupid auto driver. He swerved right to avoid a tricycle, forcing me too close to an oncoming motorcycle. The foot pegs of the bikes clipped each other and my right foot took a beating. It’s bleeding from where a layer of skin was scraped off and parts of the foot still hurt from the impact. [...]

It’s All So Complicated

Light has a dual nature - it demonstrates properties of both waves and particles.
So light particles travel at the speed of light (obviously). Now doesn’t this give them infinite mass according to the mass-energy relationship equation?
It’s all so complicated. Just like the relativity.

Toppling Stuff Is Always Fun

The first time they showed dominoes toppling on TV, I was immediately interested. How it works is dominoes are placed next to each other on their edge in patterns and then the first one is toppled. This causes a chain reaction that topples all the other dominoes in a nice effect.
See this video for a [...]
