Thought Chaos!!

After a long await, i comes.....another post...
I thought of continuing the book reviews, but it seems the stars that made me come so close to books soon went away. Or may be the "special one" was the one, the one "you will know who" who made me scare away from novels . Its still in front of me, a few pages to go. The point is that though I am a lot philosophical about life, I found someone more than me, a lot more than me.

It has always been difficult to visualize situations (...abrasive jet machining...) that do not feel obvious. I very well remember the day I was going through the mysterious IIT Roorkee placements. And I was like....ohh!! 7.64 for P&I is a big deal. Moreover the focus (...tungsten carbide and synthetic sapphire...)remained on the 4 of the 30 placements that went on nice. The main attraction I commit for me to join IIT Roorkee P&I rather than IIT Delhi Textiles or Biotech. But then who would have imagined....
They say if you just think about something (...volumetric removal rate...)and follow the route, you meet the thinking. It depends whether the "think" is +ve or -ve, but the thing is that it should be a thought. A thought that prevails in your mind, bothers you for the next every step (...dolomite for etching...)you take in your life for some goal that may not even be close to the thought.
They say you should lead an interview. I tried...there was a pull every second...when krishna says that you should work without even an inch of the thought of the result... give your best...was he not aware of the consequences then, did he not think of a win. Probably because the destiny (...electron beam machining...)was in the hands of Ved Vyas...what about me...where is my destiny written...Is it true that some people make their own destiny...or is that too written in the destiny??

And did Ayn Rand mention that it will take something more than your will power to finish that book...because "I have put in the most torturing thoughts (...depth to width ratio 30:1 ...)of every individual to compare yourself with someone."...Was atlas really shrugged...

Who is John Galt??

Who Moved My Cheese...!! - Dr. Spencer Johnson

Outstanding! amazing! these are the 35 pages worth giving a glance. I happened to have it referred by an unusual person. Never expected it to be like changing the way I percieved life. Never was I like Hem but it is always so important to be like Haw and work like sniff and scurry.

Life now seems to be easy and I always get reminded of a good quote "You miss 100% of the shots if you dont don't take one". This book shall definitely leave its mark.
The author has given a good shot and made me ponder over every moment I live. Analyze the future with or without doing the task. Each thought process counts, experience in life counts, decision making counts, and accuracy counts. The concept of the chaos theory has already had a great impact on my thinking and reading such comprehensions make me able to visualize the level of completeness in my life in a much better way, Or rather the incompleteness of my life.

The strength is not in the amount of power you have or how heavy you are, It depends on the confidence you have inside, how easily are you able to cope up with the changes in your life, or you actually wish the same mundane routine. Are you afraid to change, to get lost again, try to find something you dont know exists. Decision making matters in the trace. What you think, always makes you who you are. The near future is most of the time predictable but even the smallest of your time spent make you travel in one of the infinite approaches you have in front of you.

Consider it as yourself being a point and having all possible directions to move 1 unit of a step in the form of a line. You got to choose one. and then again from the next point repeat the same procedure. Feel what would have been if even one of your decisions would have been a little casual. You would have end up "never" to reach where you were making the earlier decision. It is all as simple as highly complex it can get if you try to apply that in all the fractions of time you spend. Probably thinking of all this may be a step you should not have taken.

I wish you try the ebook once. It won't take more than an hour to finish it. You will surely feel the difference.

To Kill A Mocking Bird!!

Not so frequent you come across such novels where the theme is so explicitely chosen that you are unable to understand it even when you flip the last pages of the novel.
I feel it takes a lot of courage to complete such novels. When you do not find anything worthwhile in the story, either you leave the novel getting to nowhere or you read it with great lethargy that in the end you end up just consoling yourself that atleast you were able to complete the 300 pages. "Not Bad" I say...but then the mind still boggles to find why...what did the author think that even I am not able to think. Where does the difference lies...

Wikipedia can actually be a good source of fullfilling your knowledge after atleast a thorough reading of such a book. And then I found that the story from the very beginning to the far end was always swaying about the theme but not in the manner I actually wished it were. We actually learn a lot from such novels.
This novel actually took a great deal for me to finish it, probably because I had a momentum for reading whatever lies in my way.

To kill a mockingbird roams around a simple life of an innocent girl, too small to understand various aspects of life, unable to understand what is going on and why is it like that. And then even if she sometimes get what's on, its not possible to view the subject from the point of view the others. Such people tend to live on the conscience of someone else considering him as a godfather.

The story will definitely leave you with the oxford by your side. In the end you will have to appreciate the intelligence of the author and the way she could even potray herself after a great deal of years into a girl of merely 7 years.
The 1960 work is worth giving a glance.

DADDY

My thoughts ponder over the life of my father, the hardships he must have faced, the love he must have given, the expectations he must have had from me first as a child when trying to walk then a kid trying to learn, then may be a student trying to crack the best of my future and still wishing for the best of my success. Inspite of all that I have lost, inspite of all the generation gap, the chasm that exists in our thoughts and feelngs, he has always tried to support me in the best way he can.

DADDY is one such novel, dunno how I happened to read this one, soon I was totally engrossed in it. The novel evolves the feelings of a father, as caring for his children, for the love of his life, for the best performances in his job. The person thrives to improve the life of his family in the midst of all that he suffers, all that he lapses. Rising with every fall, trying the best of his efforts, neglecting his own conforts for the sake of his children, his family, their future.

The moments he rise after every retrograde in his life, his every decision made eventually grows up to the best possible solution, The novel fully depicts the love, emotions, feelings, care, dreams, expectations. He never minds for when he gets the little or no time for himself to live upon, actually his life is something build of the others, of the one he loves the most. It even potrays what a father feels about his own father and his feelings when he most knowingly re-marries at the age 72. Daniel steel exresses 5 generations in a row.

Though a family drama, Daniel Steel describes it in a most beautifly way that makes us remain captivated till the last page.

The Notebook

Memory of a person is one of the most important things that the god has gifted to a living being. What if its losing, what if its is vanishing day by day, bits by bits, and the space that has been alloted to you is continuously being crashed by a virus. What if one day you ask your parents who they were??

The notebook is something that many of you might be knowing about if you have ever by any chance got to see the movie. But I believe the movie is far too different than the novel itself. The way the author Nicholas Sparks has portrayed the character and the feelings that evokes on losing your love not one but 2 times and then finding the power of your love to be so strong that it makes your soul-mate come running towards you is the most amazing part of the story. The happening of the most unexpected, something that you have never even thought of, just makes me shiver. One of the few gifted stories for mankind. The notebook is worth wasting your time reading if you think novel reading is a waste of time.

Sir Nicholas has bought about the greatest writings of a lifetime that one should really be reading.

The Notebook

DONT GET MEAN, GET EVEN...!!

Not a penny less, Not a penny more....
This is a novel worth reading.. though the author doesnot deviate even once from the theme of the novel, I guess he has been successful in captivating the minds of the readers fairly well.
The novel is based on a person, much more cunning than his age, who is able to make a fraud in the business eventually ending up in losing 1 million dollars collectively from 4 individuals.
Now is the turn of the 4 of them to turn the tables upside down and earn from the fellow the 1 million, by hook or by crook, NOT A PENNY LESS, NOT A PENNY MORE.
Jeffrey Archer is unable to leave the fellow readers in aghast, and not until 3 of the 4 tasks have been completed successfully, did the 4 of them realize that the journey is still filled with a lot of surprises and shocks they have never expected.
archers novels have a characterstic of increasing the curiosity till we read the last word of the novel, and thats what he did in this one too most impressively. Worth a read I tell you and to spend your time over the same.

Happy Bhawan Day!!...Pulkit

There you go in the end, with the anger unleashed at your very own
bhawan, “Jawahar Bhawan”. The last bhawan day in IITR as I remember,
it was my 2nd year. I was waiting for it once, for a long time as
inquisitive as it being my birthday. People will come, People will
see, People might destroy… as per their generosity but I have always
liked it. To be on the other side of the destruction is what I have
never experienced. I love when ppl say to others happy bhawan day,
love the food(sometimes), love the decorations, and actually ppl
thinking of me as someone who will invite them here.
As the days went louder, it seemed I will not even deliberately be
able to issue the passes. Its not all like the other bhawans where you
can find a secret chamber to the food court or arrange for more
members than the number of passes. Out of surprise I could see more
haddus and maddus than expected, dunno but sometimes I feel where do
these guys actually come from? And why won’t you expect when the half
the pop. Here is south Indian irritating with the smashes and the
drops every night.
Now when everything is over I stand in front of my room, its 12
midnight. The water doesn’t seem to last. It feels I actually had a
swimming pool that is about to dry. The smell of my Chocolate
Seduction AXE doesn’t seem to go. I ponder whether I even liked it
once. The razor blades of my sweet fan torn apart, folded into
infinite loops. The scratches of Happy Bhawan Day on the wall that
make me feel as if they have put some dynamite ready to blast. My bed,
now seem to be lying aside, which was my favorite spot in my room. My
blanket bathing in the water spread on the floor. Oil and Shampoo and
Surf Xcel on the walls as if even they need to remove their dandruff.
The torn souls of my dreary newspapers. My clothes, my shelter, spread
on the floor with the footsteps of the Vampires.
The question still ponders ……
Isn’t that you were willing to do when others were at your side…IS
THAT LOVE….OR REVENGE

What I Actually felt today!!

today I am feeling very relaxed and a lot sleepy. Definitely not a boring day but a day that I might always remember in my life. As says the Chaos Theory, a small change in the past can lead to a tremendous change in the future that is yet to be seen...I have always wished to see the future and work in the present for a better future than what I might have seen, but does that not contradict what I have actually seen in the future. Well If you get this, you may be able to know what exactly is going in my mind right now. And now is the time when I dont wish to do anything and dunno how many times such a moment comes in my life when I even dont have anything to do. Actually its not that I dont have anything to do but what I have to do is planned for the near future.
We have hols starting from tomorrow, Holi hols...and I think these are the only hols when I might actually be able to spend max of my time at home(Only if the future permits).
College life is actually better than the life before JEE. I am free and free to think in whatever way I can, I have thousands of ways to select from and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Though at the time of JEE I was more interested in studying, the syllabus was interesting, full of new ways to solve a problem. I loved doing that.
Now I love coding, of any sort...and spend my time in IMG(for those who don't know ask me, what this is??) finding new ways to make programs work, this seems analogous to the curriculum of JEE.
Actually I have not yet told you why would I always remember this day. Here at IIT Roorkee apart from a bunch of dedicated students no one is ready to do any work, feeling lethargic sometimes I can understand but if the life is like that...dude you definitely have to buck up.
I very well remember last Thursday, I was standing in front of the dean's office for issue of my grade sheet. And then it has not been a single day since then when I have not begged the dean for making the process go a little faster, I really required that. But the game is all set and you cannot interfere what the god has planned. People will work when they get orders, Even the higher authority require to be given orders by the highest. It was only with the consent of the director that I received the grade sheet today and all the work of signature and attestation was done today only in 20 min. For that I roamed here and there for 1 week. Thats how it actually seem to go and will remain.
The problem is not in the people, actually the root of the problem lies somewhere else. The britishers are the main cause of this chaos in todays time. Had it not been the britishers here in India, had the Indians not allowed the East India Company to be set up, the british rule had not been the real cause of such chaos today. India would not have been the one left destroyed after the defeated britishers on the occasion of World War 2 and we would have been competing the US today in terms of economy, in terms of Science and Technology, in terms of everything.
Atleast the people make us feel that they are very kind and ready to work when the work is complete. Thats what I actually like about the Indians...........

A walk to remember

And hence we started.... up up and walking the infinite path to mata Vaishno Devi. We didn't know when this would be ending cause this was the first time I was conscious and could remember the journey. My enthusiasm convinced me to walk bare foot and thats what made my journey a little tough. Walking by the milestones, counting every step We made, The Information Management Group went on with a full planned trip to Jammu. There were water bottles, first-aid, digicams, lathis(for the experienced), laddoos(:P) and an awesome view all around us.
The serious trouble were NC's ( the nuisance creators, as I call the ponywalas) and the langoors those brats took my prasad :(. and these things have to be separated from the main route. I am not talking of the monkeys but the ponywalas should not be interrupting the journey.
Finally we arrived the temple, so it had to be like bathing in ice-cold water and then running to the gufa where we were not allowed to even stand for a sec for the darshan.
Its like you travel 14 km only for a glance of Vaishno Devi and you don't even get your own coconut in return. Next destination was the Bhairavnath Mandir, and the place where langoors and monkeys live together, nice place I must tell you cause the next aim is to jump off the Trikuta Parvat into the Yatri Niwas.
We rushed back from the most excited state to the path from the Sanjhi Chhat, where there was this beautiful view of the helipad to the ground state ultimately to our beds and for me that too was a barefoot walk.
The things I learned during the trip include always go to Vaishno Devi barefoot, cause thats the best you will definitely remember it for the next one week, do never carry the lathi with you, (sachi mein it will have no effect, aur ye main sachi bol raha hoon):P , always hide your eatables in your bag cause the most greedy of the prasad are the monkeys(they always want a life better than yours), and most importantly never dump garbage anywhere except your own bag...

Robosapiens IITR

have a look here:-
http://www.cognizance.org.in/home/events/centerstage/robosapiens/index.php

Robosapiens is one of the major robotic events that is organized on a large scale in the Techfest of Indian Institute of Technology(IIT), Roorkee renowned as COGNIZANCE. It is organized in the month of March every year. A different problem statement is designed every year to meet the growing intellectual minds of the youth who take a keen interest in robotics and related field. A prize money is set up as per the difficulty of the problem. Every year a tough competition is seen by the participants from all around the Indian Sub-Continent who come here to show their metal. Robsapiens is open for the Undergraduates of any affiliated University. Infact, Sometimes the problem statement seem to be so tough that a simpler part of it is designed for the First Year Undergraduate students.
Robosapiens 2008
A lot of participation was seen in the year 2008 as the problem statement was interesting and a little mind boggling. The concept of the problem was based upon how to make a robot to be able to move on a steel rod and to transfer table tennis balls from right side to buckets kept on the left.
One of the major challenge was to make the procedure more efficient and fast. Now, its not difficult to think of a mechanism but when efficiency is the key, the right approach matters.
Some well known mechanisms for such a problem are suction mechanism, pick-drop mechanism, etc.

(((&&#^!^!.......call me :)

The illushun has finally made me re-think about the blog again....now when the blogspot is giving you ample space then why not waste it. At least its better than using your time to sleep. And dunno why only when the mid-sems have arrived. And don't think I am following the footsteps of a paraplegic who take a six months leave from being a football goalie and then after 4 months decide to play as a hockey goalie....and play it much better than being a football goalie(think its necessary to put on goalie everywhere)...

Well this post seems to be for you to know how stupid ppl can make hearty illushun to captivate the attention of millions of so called at least iitians.

I tell you do take in the online events of cognizance, the techfest at iitr, at least they are going to be a little better, not if you do not belong here. But if you do you may definitely be able to crack it to the third place. And the fun of boasting is that you definitely are third in the world when actually only 3 ppl are there to compete.
But this might seem a little odd that despite those who travel so far to the 31st level all by themselves do not get any appreciation when in the end the winner is some1 out of the campus.
This implies 2 things:
1.) the coordinator has a short term memory.
2.) The coordinator had a plan to organize the event only because he wish to meet his gf at any cost.

And the sufferers are the real mates the ppl like abhishek saxena or this ayush123 who despite being the rabbit and not even sleeping amidst the race loose with the turtle because of the beautiful 4 letter word "poly".
and some ppl who remain stuck forever only because they need the answer and then feel proud of distributing the hintz...lol...that was actually not me!!

and some ppl who actually criticize it so badly and then making an immense planning to launch a better event say teChase and logically after T.S. so as to attract a better audience.
and definitely deciding to have it more logical than the jugaad thing....
and obviously some ppl will always wait to crack it all by themselves.....

and don't wish for more cause you cannot make it far too long for your post to be readable
