Can't wait.. wanna go to class....

Well I'm back on track after a good inplant training in Sun Microsystems, Bangalore and waiting for my college to reopen. This time I'm alone in a single room, may be I can concentrate more and hope to get good grades. My class is quite good this time as I know some of the teachers and yeah most important I've got some good friendies :)) My college will be starting from 24th of this month. So lets see how things change in my third year @SASTRA.Well here are some snaps from my trip you can have look at.....

Good Bye 2nd year...

Today my last day in this hostel room (I'll be missing it a lot) as my semester has ended after "do or die" kinda exams.With this I will be entering my 3rd year of my engineering. Also I stayed in college for some ten days for Visual Basic certificate course and yeah I got an "S" grade in that(atleast I didn't screw this exam like end sems...:P ). Today I'll be leaving to Chennai and from there to Bangalore by tomorrow evening. I'm going to Bangalore for an Inplant training in Sun Microsystems. Well I hope for best over there and yeah of course this time I miss my family as I won't be going home in these holidays. Its been more than six month since I've met my parents. But its gonna be a great experience to go and get trained in such a big company. Hopefully I will be meeting with lots of engineers and computer nerds. And that too Bangalore has lots of sight seeing spots. So I've got lot of plans for there and as far now I'm packing my stuff and single mindedly thinking of a great trip.

My activities in summer holidays....

Yeah! this summer holidays I am still in my college hostel and but there are certain reasons for my stay. But I need to kill time here and do the best I can not to get bore and keep myself busy. Well there are certain things which I'm executing these days....

!: I wake up and attend my VB class from 9 to 12:30 and after lunch go for second session till evening 4:30

@: Watching Movies from 9PM to 11PM-"No compromise on it"... Twilight, Australia, Click and 21 were some good ones and now I'm out of stock.

#: Solving some programming exercise from spoj.pl.

%: Preparations for GLOSS websites going on.

^: As I'm not used to reading novels much, so for a change, trying to finish the one and only "Godfather" by Mario Pujo. I got it from my friend. And yeah I feel it interesting.

&:Washing my clothes and packing my stuff in order to go to Banglore..."The worst things I had to do".

*:Writing blogs sitting hours in front of my laptop... "paining my eyes...!"


Oh sorry! I feel soo sleepy at 5:37 AM writing a lot of posts that I kept pressing 'shift' at starting of every line :P...
Soon I'll be down and hope I'll attend the class.... :)

Coldplay: Scientist lyrics

Well I really enjoy listening music and its a great mean for me to get rid of my bore and tensions... here I'm giving the lyrics of one of my favourite song : "Scientist" from the band Coldplay....

Come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need ya
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and nurse me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming in tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart.
Questions of science, science and progress
Don't speak as loud as my heart.
Tell me you love me, and come back and haunt me,
Oh, when I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing tails
coming back as we are.

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy.
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start.

A nice one to dedicate someone special... :)

WiFi @SASTRA...

Well this is a quick one though after a long time. Its 2:35AM and my browser is really rocking at a great pace. SASTRA's Wifi having a 18Mbps connection seems to be at speed of thoughts and I am able to feel that the whole Internet is in my hard drive....

Believe me I'm the only one of the two accessing wifi at this unusual time and I downloaded 149 packages of KDE(K desktop environment) totally about 800Mb within 10 mins at an avg download speed of 375Kbps...Unbelievable.!

A helping hand....

It started like that lots of people asked me to start blogging but till now I use to feel lazy to come here and just type in my views. Today with start of Worldwide Volunteer's Week, I decided to do something which can give others some happiness and really it proved to be one of the important day of my life when I shared my day with those who have got a life but they can't be like us all and do not have all those comfort of life which a normal person gets. Moreover they are deprived of the love and affection of their parents. But in spite of all the odds in their life they have a great zeal to live life in their own way and also they were happy when we get there to share time with them .
Actually this whole program was powered by GLOSS (GNU/LINUX open source @ SASTRA ) ; an open source community in my college . We (J.Dwarakanath-Sun CA, Amarnath , Uday and ofcourse me) began in morning and took a bus to Thanjavur, had a one hour journey, followed by a twenty minutes walk till our destination.
At 11:10 we were there . It was a school for
orphan and mentally retarded children.

We met warden there and came to know that inmates have started going out for holidays to their home , but there were enough to have a get together(around 30). We asked them to gather in the prayer hall and it was nice to see those little guys singing prayer being very pure and innocent at their heart. We got them sweets and some stationary items and their happiness was on seventh sky. Then we talked with them and shared their view. After that it was tech-time cum play-time as we let them try their hands on some coolJAVAFX and Flash games. It was so nice to see them happy and they felt that very much enjoyable, which was clearly seen through their curiosity. Although this was the first time for me to visit such a place and it was a great experience for me. I really loved the journey and felt bit proud to work for a social cause. All this was arranged by Sun Campus Ambassador J.Dwarakanath and I am thankful to him to consider me to be the part of this event.

Well I think its enough for my first post and I hope I will continue writing and please, you continue reading my blog...
