Mumbai meri Jaan


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 free.So thats the reason,Sid, that I have not been able to keep up on the posts.The Workshop thingy has taken a lot of my time.But its very interesting and educative too.Am thinking of going to NSIT this weekend to see their culfest.If possible will roam around in Delhi too.Needless to say,I have a test tommorow.

PS:I liked the arial photo of Mumbai very much.Makes me somehow feel as if I am actually there

Gurgaon

Since around a week I am in Gurgaon, the technology capital of North India. Some quick observations: 1. Gurgaon is DLF. DLF is Gurgaon. They have built the whole freakin' township. Everything else is just support and built after that. 2. The public transport cannot be called worse than anywhere else in India. Because it doesn't EXIST. 3. Well ok, that was an overstatement. But really, there are no buses. The Gurgaon metro is still being built. The Delhi metro just extends till HUDA city center and is the only saving grace. Auto rickshaw wallahs are robbers. 4. Delhi is not that far off, thanks to the Delhi metro's extension. I have no idea how Delhites coped before the metro. Seriously. Cars, I believe. Couldn't see the famed T3 at the Delhi airport. Perhaps when I take off from here..

ReactOS

Image
Please click on the Image to enlarge it. What seems so special about the screenshot? It seems that somebody just clicked on "start" in windows. So whats the fuss and why am I writing a post about it? Well, it turns out that (surprise!) it is not windows at all, but an operating system called ReactOS . To quote the ReactOS site verbatim "ReactOS® is a free, modern operating system based on the design of Windows® XP/2003. Written completely from scratch, it aims to follow the Windows® architecture designed by Microsoft from the hardware level right through to the application level. This is not a Linux based system, and shares none of the unix architecture". ReactOS is doing something unimaginable to me till some time ago, reverse engineering the whole windows opertating system itself! . And all the while maintaining compatibility with windows. Right now it claims that it is in pre alpha stage, but already it has many features like remote desktop, e

This picture shows what it is like inside the huge Philips Innovation Campus (PIC). And this is what my office looks like from the breakout area. 'Dream on' by Aerosmith still going strong. Dream on, dream on, dream on, Dream on till your dream comes true...
