More then 3 year back I had written a post on leaving Bangalore and yet again its time bid farewell to this city once again. This time I do not bid farewell to the city but the friends I have made over the last 2.5 years, the nook and crannies I discovered while on my photography expeditions and all the feeling that come with them. The feeling has started sinking in though I am trying to get around it by not brooding over it but thinking about the life that lies ahead...
Fare well. |

The Keys to Your Heart
|
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. |
In love, you feel the most alive when everything is uncertain, one moment heaven... the next moment hell. |
You'd like to your lover to think you are flexible and ready for anything! |
You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. |
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. |
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. |
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. |
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily. |

| Which Religion ?? |
[Mar. 10th, 2005|05:57 pm] |
 | You scored as Satanism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism.
Satanism | | 96% | paganism | | 92% | Buddhism | | 79% | agnosticism | | 63% | Hinduism | | 58% | Islam | | 50% | atheism | | 46% | Judaism | | 4% | Christianity | | 0% | </td>
Which religion is the right one for you? (new version)

Didn't clear the code jam. Came out a measly 174 :'(
On a good note - Had a great party last nite. Freaked/boozed out majorly at Styx *wink wink* thanks to Shireesh and Apurva. Poor guys ended up treating me twice. Once in the office for lunch at Mainland China and another round at Styx with the college gang. Met up with Sashi too. He was talkin abt his latest crush/heart throb. Had a really nice time after a looooooooong time. So I don't mind fucking up the code jam.
Had to happend with the splitting headache I had today ;) And I have to go out with a friend. Hope I dont end up being a PITA like i normally am wid her :D
Another good thing. I presented "MY" idea to the VP Technical Ops and he say "WOW, this stuff is really cool. I luv this idea" ;) I have to file a disclosure soon.
Looking fwd to meeting Sheets tomorrow. Thats if she is not *again* pissed off at me. Hell man, every girl I know has a grudge againt me. Poor me *wails loudly* :((
Hope to meet Vaidya too. Hope he dosent crucify me for letting out his love affair in the open ;) Naughty me *grins smuckly*
More people to meet this weekend: Reet/Hitech/Harsha/Swati/Anurag

| Conversation and Concrete Maths |
[Feb. 17th, 2005|12:18 pm] |
Tring Tring !!
Reet: Why did u take so long to pic up the phone...
Reet: Hey so what are you doing...
Me: Ah just reading some stuff.
Reet: What ???
Me: Concrete Mathematics !!
Reet: Ummmm whats that?
Me: Some maths stuff...
Reet: Why the hell ?
Me: Becoz I got nuthing better to do and its interesting...
YADA YADA YADA....
Anyways I am reading this amazing book Concrete Mathematics by DEK which is supposed to be a prelude to the Art of Programming series. Its extremely good for people interested in the subject and I really dig the way its written. Its pretty humorous in place esp the comments in the margin. It almost feels like a nifty novel if you will.
Talks about series, sums, bionomial expansions, some bit of probability, hypergeometrics functions and the like.
But a word of caution - its really difficult to wade through this book. I can hardly manage 10 pages in a day, but I think its worth the effort :D |

I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don' you stay?
Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching, even after today
So there it is girl, I've said it all now
And here we are babe, what do you say?
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?
I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it ast, let's find a way
Turn out the light, come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?

Now this is something I would call damn cute :D
Bought this book on Dash's recommendation. And it was worth every single penny... One book I wanted to keep reading indefinitely.
The protagonist of the novel is a 15 year old guy Christopher. He starts to investigate the murder of a dog that lived in the neighbourhood and starts writing a book on his investigation and how his life changes in the process.
Cool things I liked in the book -
Really neat way of hugging. Guess why I didnt think of it before :))
The chapters are prime numbered.
This d00d start counting powers of 2 when he want to relax. Aint that way toooo coool !!
The appendix which contains a proof
I would recommed this book to everyone !! Bet its gonna bring a bring a big grin on ur face when u r reading it.
Alas why did it have to end... *sighs* |

2. The Swedish man has a dog for a pet.
3. The Danish man drinks tea.
4. The green house is to the left of the white house.
5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.

| Page Rank ?? |
[Nov. 23rd, 2004|04:33 pm] |
I just hate Google !!! A few months back my homepage used to be the top link when a search was done on my name and pretty high for some other rather exotic topics.... But suprisingly now it figures out on the 4th page :'-( I dont understand this... With the number or page linking to mine the ranking should have gone up, I do not understand why its gone down....
Hmmm but maybe I do.... The ranks are in order of the importance of the primary url...
Shit happens.. :(( |

| the final cut - PF |
[Nov. 19th, 2004|10:17 pm] |
one of my fav songs... heard it after a long time on Y! LauncCast.... So cold, and dark.... and piercing
the final cut
through the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyes
i can barely define the shape of this moment in time
and far from flying high in clear blue skies
i'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide
if you negotiate the minefields in the drive
and beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
and if you make it past the shotgun in the hall
dial the combination open the priesthole
and if i'm in i'll tell you what's behind the wall
there's a kid who had a big hallucination
making love to girls in magazines
he wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
could anybody love him
or is it just a crazy dream
and if i show you my dark side
will you still hold me tonight
and if i open my heart to you
and show you my weak side
what would you do
would you sell your story to rolling stone
would you take the children away
and leave me all alone
and smile in reassurance
as you whisper down the phone
would you send me packing
or would you take me home
thought i oughta bare my naked feelings
thought i oughta tear the curtain down
i held the blade in trembling hands
prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
i never had the nerve to make the final cut
