FINALLY!!!!

Nearly a month of boredom,twenty five days of the 'so called' hard work,some hundred hours of sleep in between,two weeks of anxiety and headache and pressure,and a week of utter nonsense.Finally it's over.It's time to give out a sigh of relief.The consequences,or the results,to be more precise can be thought of later,at least in my case.I am sure most of you figure out what am talking about.But if you haven't done still,it's about my recently concluded annual exam in college(no semester pattern for the first years).What else???Super Kings manage to inch through into the final four in the Indian premier league,but largely due to the excellent start they got in the tournament.Thankfully, i need not worry about killing time in these holidays because of the ongoing IPL and the upcoming EURO 08.And coming to Euro,i am really impressed with the Portuguese line up,which has 'DECO NANI CARVALHO RICARDO' among the others.Wondering why i haven't mentioned the 'so called' player of the decade 'CRistiano Ronaldo'??Well,i loathe him.Anyways now that he's the Portuguese skipper,i must only hope that he does well.The Other sides which my bets are on are GERMANY and NETHERLANDS and of course France and Italy have always done well in this stage.Let us see what happens..
And i got to watch "THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM" starring Jet li and Jackie chan among others.I liked the movie and was amazed by the stunt sequences in the film.But the story line could have been a bit more realistic..

The Eyes


Actually,i was bored with 'i did this-i did that' sorta posts and thought I'd try something a bit emotional this time.I had plenty of time to try though,thanks to my so called STUDY HOLIDAYS.I am not sure if it is a good try though....

"Life,was full of questions for him.He always kept wondering,why he was here.The answers kept coming,but their defects, even better. He never talked much,always questioning himself,'why this?' and 'why that?'.It all changed one day,when he found the answers for his infinite queries.The day,which he thought,defined the purpose of his life.Even now,after this many years,he wonders 'how could two white ellipses with circles within them,mean so much' to him.Everything changed that day.Whenever,he wanted to be heard,he was;Whenever,he wanted to be understood,he was.when,he wanted a reply,he got one.
Today,nearly 6 decades later,as he looked into those eyes again,but for one last time,he saw all those moments of joy and sorrow;he thought of the happiness they had shared and the sadness they had divided between themselves,tears of mixed emotions that they had shed.And yet,after these many years,it amazed him how much he loved those eyes of her.As he started to drift into eternity,as he contemplated that this was the last time he would see them,he realized that those were faster than his by seconds....."

RAhMaNiA???!!!!!!

It's Sunday evening and i am looking at Ishanth Sharma running in to bowl his first over in the match against Deccan chargers and on any other day i would've been glued to my seat without bothering about what's going on outside the 21 inches,but today isn't any other day,for some reason.I think about the next day ie. about the semester practical exams which i am scheduled to have and my casual attitude towards it.Things aren't going to get any better as far as my preparations are concerned and there is a reason behind it.I look at the clock and it's time for me to make a move.I get up,get started and catch the bus to my destination along with my mom.I get down and move inside just to see what lies ahead in the day:the place is crowded to the core and people are jostling with each other to get in.Now i am in and have to wait till it starts.In the mean time the no. of people keeps increasing and no one really cares if he/she has a place to sit or not.Now it's nearly time and after some Booms in the stage,Vijay athiraj comes running in and does what an anchor usually does when in Chennai,but the people are like "c'mon we're not here to see you, so please move on!!!!!",and finally he does.The One we are waiting for , makes his way to the center of the stage in his usual calm n composed manner and there he is.A.R Rahman is standing right before us,some 50 metre from me and addresses chennai in his lovable mother tongue.While many of us in the crowd are still wondering how someone that great could be this simple,he starts off the proceedings with his own number from Azhagiya Tamizh magan.From then on everything is in fast forward and a number of hit songs of his are sung by himself and many other renowned artists like Hariharan, Madhushree,Karthik,Nithyashree,Neethi Raman(this girl really amazed me with her dual talents),Shankar Mahadevan,Javed ali.The Concert finally comes to an end with 'vande matharam' and it is nearly 10.30 when i am out of the place.On my way back I wonder,'Is this what people call RahMania????'....

The BEautiful game At its BEst..

After trying hard not to dedicate a complete post to Soccer esp. premiership, i have to accept ma failure.Because now that we're reaching the business end of the season,the beautiful game is at its best.So i tell this,football maniacs go on,but others please think twice before doing so.Coming back to the point,I was never in ma life this much associated with this premiership (along with the champions league that is)thing ,but now it doesn't allow me to read nor sleep.I've been long breaking my head whether to be a BLue* or a Red*,but now i must take a decision.Because,both of them are in the semis of Uefa and go on head to head twice in the weeks to come.And this weekend we have a cracker of a contest between League leaders ManU and Arsene wenger's Gunners which could go a long way in deciding who the Champions are.And things aren't looking bad in Champion's league either.Three of the four teams in the semis i will support without any problems with the exception being ManU.But i really liked the way they played against Roma after their skipper's successful comeback after 13 months.I really liked the way Giggs came running n gave him the Traditional arm band which was waiting to go back into its real master's arms.
With the stage set for a number of cracking contests,ManU and Chelsea will be on their Quest for eternal glory this season,now that a FA cup victory is ruled out for both the teams.But now i have decided who am gonna support though:the side which will try n reach its fourth final in five years under rafa.Anything for Steven G.

Excuz me boss,can't you mind your own business????

Well,that's pretty big for a title,isn't it??? But,after all,something is better than nothing rite??
I haven't posted for nearly a month except that technical one which dealt with Robotics.So,i thought,why not try something out of the routine, for a post.Let's forget Sehwag's triple ton,Chelsea's hard earned victory and Manu's and Ronaldo's awesome run of form.
You always meet different kind of people in your day to day life.And you can classify them into different categories based on what you feel about them.One group which disgusts me is the one which concerns itself with other's business.I am sure every one of us would've experienced such people in life while some of us may or rather might belong to that class. Doing that very rarely can be chucked away in the name of excess care but I've known people who think they're here to guide people around them.This topic came to ma mind today in ma gym when a guy was sorta going around everyone checking whether what they were doing was right or wrong,as if he came to do exactly that.Well,he can do that if he's a close associate of Arnie or Ronnie,which i am sure he's not.
That is just an example.I've known guys in ma school and in college, complaining that this guy talks too much with this girl.That's really absurd.On second thought, may be they oughtta give a damn if they were having an eye for the chick but i really don't think that's the case most of the time.Coz' when you ask them about the girl,they'd be like 'I'd rather die than speaking with her'.
I think i've gonna bit outta bounds myself here.But,lemme tell this,if anyone felt like he was referred to here,please try to change yourself.But being like this is not the end of the world though.You can take heart from the fact that there's a worser class which thinks "I am always Best in whatever i do,and i want others to do it my way".I say this to those 'JUST FUCK OFF'....

Crysis

It is said that man's brain lets him down in times of crises.Especially, when the weight of saving hundreds of lives rests on his shoulders.Disarming of bombs is one such thing,where a simple mistake will cost us dearly.All said,when we try to come up with a solution ,only one thing comes to mind,ROBOTICS.The mission we are going to engage ourselves with is,forming a troop of robots,which specialize in three different fields,namely: 1. Evacuating the said spot. 2.Detection of bombs. 3.Recognition of the type,disarming and disposal of the bomb.We are planning to concentrate on making a previously designed robot specialize in these feilds over the next few months. A question that remains to be answered is,"why can't humans continue to operate in these fields?",the answers are: 1.A robot does not feel flustered in a crisis. 2.The efficiency can be taken to greater levels. 3.And even if a mission fails,the life of a robot is not as valuable as that of a human. Even then,the most complex electronic or electrical circuit in this universe is a product of man's brain.So,we also have to undertake the job of upgrading the robot's intelligence time and again and hopefully,in the near future,need not operate it manually and let it make its own decisions through Artificial intelligence.
