Chronicles of Gautam

This post has come after a pretty long time without a change in the subject that the previous four posts pertain to,but considering what a lazy bumass(whatever that means!) I am,I can safely assume that the people reading this will excuse me.Actually I had initially thought that I would put the photos at one time but the IPC is so wonderful that it compels you to change your ideas.And thus the blog remained until today- unchanged,untouched(except for a comment or two by my dear sidey,and yes Neha too).So enjoy the animals.. Jackal..looks surprisingly like a dog,doesn't it? Don't know what these birds are,but they were very cute and they momentarily perched on our palms to take away the titbits which we offered them.No fear at all of humans! This is a nilgai for those who don't know(Its supposed to be blue or something but this was a female and hence isn't-thats what the guide said). Cute antelopes. And deers-chittals to be more precise..

Work of Art! Dinner at hotel just outside the sanctuary gates And We Finally enter the park(in open jeeps-its not allowed to step out of the jeeps).(Well,I must confess..we had to get out at one point of time due to unavoidable circumstances.)

These are some photos near the town of Alwar..where we had stoped to enjoy the view.There were lots of Bandar-log around(excluding us of course)and turtles in river.And the majestic Kingfisher too!!Unfortunately I cant upload all the FOUR HUNDRED snaps that we took on our trip.The rocks where we are all sitting are opposite the river with the road in between. Some of my friends Junta Yo kingfisher! The River

This weekend I had gone with my wingies to Sariska national park.For those of whom haven't heard of this place,its between two of its more famous cousins-Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary towards the north and Ranthambore Tiger reserve to the south.It was one of the most enjoyable weekends that I have spent after coming to BITS.A weekend to sac out(relax), and have gen fun with mainly wingies and pseudo wingies.They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and hence I am devoting the next few posts to photos only.Mind you,NONE of them are edited! On the way to Sariska... Tunnel in the mountains..Hurray!! There are a lot many more photos..Just wait and watch...

So finally I have decided to write something in my long stagnant blog.Was somewhat busy during the past few days because of APOGEE(A Professions Oriented Gathering Over Educational Experience)-the technical festival of BITS Pilani held during 21st to 25th March. We had initially started out to conduct a Workshop.And the topic was "Free space Optics" which was chosen by my dear friend Rishi Mathur.(http://araiessechai.blogspot.com).To make it more impressive we tried to make a working model which worked 2 days before Apogee and the seniors were so happy that instead of putting our work in the 'workshop' category they put it in the 'project' category.And surprises of surprises!Our "project" made it into the top 5 in the "best concept" slot in the division which contained Comp sci,instru,EEE and infosys.That was a real stunner so to say.On the other hand it says something sad about APOGEE,in fact,BITS in general-that the level of Apogee ...

I tried so hard, And got so far, But in the end, It doesn't even matter. This is what I remembered when I saw my Physics answer sheet today.22/60 is NOT a flattering score,and it hurts especially coz I REALLY KNEW my course this time.Life frequently throws a dangerous and demoralizing bullet at you,a bullet with the name 'frustration'.And it has somehow hit me.It has another realisation:the fact that you can do very little to change what has happened.For I made the stupidest of mistakes in the paper,causing me to lose around 20 marks.Ya,and that can make all the difference in the world to the grade.What pisses me off most is that questions which don't deserve more than 4 marks are thrown in for 15 marks which reduces the number of questions,subsequently affecting the perfomance.Cause if to you make a single mistake you get a straight zero,there being no partial marking. That apart,I must mention as I continually do,blogging takes time.And a computer.Which is fr...
