ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಂಜೆ

ಇಂದು IIT ಬಾಂಬೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಂಘದ ವತಿಯಿಂದ ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಂಜೆ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮ ನಡೆಯಿತು :-)

ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಇವತ್ತಿನ ದಿನಚರಿಯನ್ನು ಆಂಗ್ಲ ಭಾಷೆಯ ಬದಲು ನಮ್ಮ ಕಸ್ತೂರಿ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ...

ಕನ್ನಡ ಓದಲು ಬರುವವರು ಮುಂದುವರೆಸಿ - ಬರದವರು ನಾಳೆಯವರೆಗೆ ಕಾಯಿರಿ ;-)

ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮದ ಪ್ರಯುಕ್ತ "ಗಾಳಿಪಟ" ಚಲನಚಿತ್ರ ಪ್ರದರ್ಶಿಸಲಾಯಿತು - ಒಮ್ಮೆ ನೋಡಿದ್ದರೂ ನಮ್ಮವರನ್ನು ಒಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಕಾಣಲು ನಾನೂ ಅಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಹೋದೆ.

ಬರಿ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಲ್ಲದೆ ಕೆಲವು ಅಧ್ಯಾಪಕರು ಕೂಡ ಬಂದು ಚಲನಚಿತ್ರ ವೀಕ್ಷಣೆ  ಮಾಡುವುದನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ ಸಂತಸ ಹಾಗು ಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯ ಎರಡೂ ಒಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಆಯಿತು :-)

ಏನೇ ಆಗಲಿ ಒಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಇಷ್ಟು ಜನ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರನ್ನು ನನ್ನ ವಿದ್ಯಾಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಂಡಿದ್ದು ಖುಷಿ ಕೊಡುವಂತಹ ವಿಚಾರವೇ ಸರಿ...

ಸಂಜೆ ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾದ ಕೆಲಸಗಳನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ಬದಿಗೊತ್ತಿ ಇವತ್ತು ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಂಜೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸಿದ್ದು ಇವತ್ತಿನ ದಿನಚರಿಯ ಅಧ್ಯಾಯ.

ಈ ಬರಹದಲ್ಲಿ ಏನಾದರೂ ತಪ್ಪುಗಳು ಅಥವಾ ನ್ಯೂನ್ಯತೆಗಳು ಇದ್ದರೆ ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷಿಸಬೇಕಾಗಿ ವಿನಂತಿ..

ಇಂತಿ ಸಮಾಪ್ತಿ :-D

Late is the Mantra

Guess being late is an inevitable part of Hostel life - with no one to remind you to be on time; except for class timings, wake up on time, do things on time - its like a Doctor's prescription for lazyness !!

Woke up at 10 today - and directly came online :-D
And it has become a habit to stay online and do nothing - bliss of online idleness/joblessness !!!

Rest of the day was all gnuplotted - graphs, bars, charts, diagrams !!!!

And for sure, my biological clock is getting altered - sleep at 2 and get up at 10 :-O
Hope "Late to Bed and Late to Rise" does not make Sumanth screw up MTech !!

But it is amazing how the whole day goes eventless, and you notice it only after it is bygone...

And watched Manasaare movie yesterday - excellent light hearted yet thought-provoking movie :-)
Coming to movie appretiation - I guess if I was in Bangalore, I would not have been appreciating any movie so much..
Guess this is one of the first indications of change !!

Its Missing time, again...

No, I am not being nostalgic and talking about missing someone or missing something very dear..
But rather I am referring to the sense of not doing something; in time or in circumstance!!

For instance; this blog write-up was supposed to appear yesterday, but due to some unfortunate lazified circumstances - it is being written at 10:00 PM on 6th August, but published for the date of 5th August ;-)

There have been a few Misseous things happening - missing to call home(probably my first time after I have been to Mumbai; which - in a sense indicates that things are improving...), missing from studying what needs to be studied(there is my lazy self talking again :-D), missing alarms to get up early(even when there is a need), missing the link of whats happening in the class(in lieu of point 2 ;-)), missing classes(some would be leaving out a sigh - "ah finally!!"), missing the chance to go out on weekends(no comments x-|), and finally; missing direction and intent of this post !!!!

But whats life when you dont miss something - either you gain experience out of it, or at times it is fun to miss something :D
And sometimes, you may even miss out on what you missed....

About the day - my chat status said everything: ಶಾಲೆಗೆ ಈ ದಿನ ರಜಾ :-)

To end the note - I am really missing out on what eventful things happened yesterday; so consider this as a 'Miss-terious' substitute :-)

Roomie's Birthday, Improving Mess Food

Long stretch of Amit's Birthday - started and ended unconventionally...

12:00 AM 04 Aug 2011
Ananth, our other Kannadiga batchmate coming to wish him; and us talking about Amit's Cisco experiences, Dravid, Infy Narayan Murthy, education, research and lots more until 2 PM...

12:00 AM 05 Aug 2011
Amit's birthday treat(finally) at the near end of the birthday - Eating something called "Chinese Bhel" at midnight :D

Courtesy Google Image Search - Never thought its a valid dish name ...

And surprisingly mess food is improving o_O ; I had given up on its changing - though there is the usual Dal-Roti; there are things like butter milk, rasna, rasagulla, jamoon, lassi, pulao etc. Of course, not all of them together, but on different days !!

Tried to get some inflow of Network Flows into my head today - cant really say how much is left in the residual network of my brain :D
Spherical rosagullas are much easily graspable than such convoluted network graphs ;-)

Life in Extremes - Lazy Wednesday !!

Definitely I am experiencing extremes - heavy Tuesday followed by a relaxed and slow, lazy Wednesday...
And since the day I have been to Mumbai - I have noticed that even the city has both sides of extremes - posh areas v/s slums; costly hotels v/s affordable eateries; hectic workforce v/s relaxed people, Hostel 6 v/s Hostel 12/13/14(guys here in IITB would know ;-) ) etc etc...
With the passage of time, I may explore more of such extremes...

Woke up at 10 today - has become sort of habit; with no one around to wake you up on time !!

Went for my document verification - anyway knowing the result of it - Partial documents; no degree certificate(I am not yet an Engineer; unlike most of my self-proclaimed Engineer friends :D), no migration/TC(Wonder why do we have so many formalities!!)
Felt like going to play a game; knowing that at the end of it you will anyway lose :D

Had the software lab course in the late afternoon - learnt how to plot graphs with my friend and played around with it...
Told Sir that I was "peer-programming" when he saw a blank screen :D

Noticed a 'small' hairline fracture of my laptop's keyboard today - No clues as to how it happened :-(

Downloaded some of the books available on DC++ appropriate for the courses - just one thing remaining though; the urge and the interest to study !!!

Final Note:
Today's Realization: I desperately need a "head bath" tomorrow !!!!

Funny how literal translation of ತಲೆ ಸ್ನಾನ sounds in English :D :D

Heaviest day of the week from now on - Tuesday

With one class in the morning, two from afternoon through to the evening, and a late night lab for B.Techs; its bound to be !!

Thats the first thing that would come out of my mouth on each Tuesday :D

Finally gave the form for account opening - after a long holding period of over 10 days :D
And went and sat in the network security class - just to be overwhelmed by the speed at which the class goes !!!

Just getting back some of C++ and unix while being in the B.Tech lab ....

And as an after-effect of the late ending of the academic schedule - being online past midnight; terming it as "online duties" rather than internet addiction :-)

Choice By Elimination

Finally made the cut - Chose the needed four courses :-)
And did that by eliminating the not so appropriate or infeasible choices; from my viewpoint..
I have made a discovery that of late that is what I have become good at - Saying No, Ditching something, Disapproving something..
But as long as it helps - No harm doing it :-0

And one more small but noticeable improvement - leaving my mobile phone behind whenever its not necessary. Somehow that makes me feel that the homesickness is going down !!

Sat in networks class to find out that it remains to be one of my interests - hoping that it will continue being so :)

Tried video calling my cousin - and well; it was quite a comedy of errors..
But still - unable to figure out whether there are any network problems here, or is it always happening due to the opposite party !

The day ended with a long group chat with Thrupthi, Umesh and Susheela - after a long time; and went on just like good old days of college :)
