Blue... ;-) ;-)

Wikipedia says
"The term blue may refer to any of a number of similar colors. The sensation of blue is made by light having a spectrum dominated by energy in the wavelength range of about 440–490 nm.
Blue is considered to be one of the three primary additive colors in the RGB system; blue light has the shortest wavelength range of the three additive primary colors. The English language commonly uses "blue" to refer to any color from navy blue to cyan."

Some strange facts ( of course i googled for them :P )

• Blue eyes are the most sensitive to light, brown eyes the least sensitive!
• Owls are the only birds who can see the color blue!
• 80 percent of Americans love blue color!
• Blue and white are the most common school colors!
• Animal breeders in Russia once claimed to have bred sheep with blue wool!
• A scallop has 35 blue eyes!
• Mosquitoes are attracted to the color blue twice as much as any other!
• Maine produces about 98-99% of all wild blueberries in the US!
• The red traffic light contains some orange color and the green traffic light contains some blue color making it easier for people with red-green color blindness!
• More people use blue toothbrushes, than red ones!
• Other than humans, black lemurs are the only primates that may have blue eyes!
• There are only two animals with blue tongues, the Black Bear and the Chow dog!
• The blue whale can produce sounds up to about 188 decibels!
• A blue whales heart beats nine times per minute!
• Most elephants weigh less than the tongue of the blue whale!
• Blue whales weigh as much as 30 elephants and are as long as 3 Greyhound buses!
• The blood vessels of a blue whale are wide enough for an adult trout to swim through!

Well enough of facts, I'll tell you some more nice facts :P :P

• Sudden change to blue color makes people shout "Blue Blue Blue" all the time. This syndrome can be observed around one week even before the color change occurs.
• Any girl who works in front of computer most of the time loves blue color than anything else.
• Though blue color wavelength is 440-490 nm, the lower bound for blue color is 1200 and the upper bound is 1500.
• Though the hexadecimal triplet for blue is #0000FF, the actual blue you see in the websites is #6666FF. This can be checked in the css file. For example
/* Blue */


.coderTextBlue, .coderTextBlue:link, .coderTextBlue:visited, .coderTextBlue:hover, .coderTextBlue:active 
{ color: #6666FF; }

Hmmmm, i wish i could write more but have to stop here :-) :-)

Potato Guy ...

I wasn't sure why people celebrate shutdown day and all. The whole idea looked stupid. :P But it was not so.

Our college network was shutdown yesterday. No Gmail. No Orkut. No Spider. No Delta. Nothing :P
All i had was 2 or 3 computers with Linux and Windows :). Many many thanks to all the Gnome and KDE games, the day wasn't that boring. In fact, i don't mind having shutdown day once in a week :) :) :)

The good thing about shutdown day is that even if you want to work, you can't. :-). So you don't feel bad or guilty about not working for one whole day. :-) :-) :-)

Some of the nice games which are worth playing are
1. Attax
2. KAtomic (Even those who don't like chemistry might end up playing this for hours :) )
3. Kolf
4. Potato Guy
5. Iagno

Life is beautiful :)

Sorry for not updating the blog for a long time :(. Even now i am not going to write much. Just a list of arbit words which comes to my mind :-).

Helloooooooo
Delta Inductions
Spider Inductions
Idiot
Brave
Olarify
Promise
Psycho
***aloooooooooooooooo
Fli.......
mummyyyyyy
hmmmmmmmm

If you have no clue what these mean, then just think that i was not sane while i was typing this. ;)
"Don't Panic". I am still sane. ;-)

Projects ...

"The word "project" originally meant "something that comes before anything else is done". When the word was initially adopted, it referred to a plan of something, not to the act of actually carrying this plan out. Something performed in accordance with a project was called an object. This use of "project" changed in the 1950s when several techniques for project management were introduced" -- Wikipedia

Now that holidays are about to get over, now i realized :P a few strange things about projects. Most of them are from personal experiences.

1. Whatever happens, you will finish the project on time. On time, meaning the last day when you have to submit your project (this includes quite a few a night outs before that day).

2. If you finish the project one/two weeks before time, either the project is very very simple for you or you didn't do your project at all :P

3. The first few weeks of the project will be really frustrating as you will be reading and chatting more than you code. Actually for the first few weeks, if your LOC is around 3-4 it is really great.

4. The last two-three days of your project, the LOC will shoot up to few hundreds :-)

5. Even if you chat 24*7 during the project time, somehow you will complete the project on time. You won't even realize how the code actually came there, but at the end of the day, it will be there.Though even if you work really hard 24*7, you will have the same output.

6. If you are geek and you are doing a project in Bangalore, don't try to go to a pub.

7. You will be really satisfied about completing the project on the last day.

8. You will feel bad that you could have done lots more in the project only on the last day. You will realize you have taken more time to understand the old code :P Only on that day you will start loving your project and you will feel like working more on that.

9. Only if you have project review, you will feel really really sleepy that you might end up not coming for the review.

10 . Your friend's project will always look easier.

11. The last three days, you will be cursing your project like anything. You will hate it to the core. But after that, you will think that your project is not so bad.

12. Only for the first one week, you will report for your project work on time. After that it will be late from 2-4 hours. Though this will be compensated by the night outs you do for your project.

Love story of a topper ...

Well, i am kind of not sure whether i should write this or not. I have never written a blog describing about someone else ,his second girl friend and about their deep love and how she became my girl friend after that. But recently, the tech level of my blog has increased so much that my normal friends don't even bother to read my blog. Looks like it is too techie for them. So this might be something for them. And yes, if i get a chance to shoot a movie, i will do this one.

Ok , the hero (or rather the villain :P ) of the story of is Manas Garg. He is the topper of Computer Science Dept and now is happily working in M$.

First i should tell you that all i am going to tell you is true and only true. I have not modified anything to make the story interesting. It's just plain facts. I have proof for that which i have added to this post. To make the story more interesting first the proof and then the story.

The following is the chat log between me and manas garg. Not even a single word in that chat log is modified. To make things clear, i have removed what i spoke in between.

Manas: that would be soo cool
i was crazy about her
spent nights with her

Manas: took care of her more than myself then

me: lol :-)

Manas: i had to leave her gave her to others coz i had to go
i still love her

Manas: i always will

me: ha ha

Manas: one day we will unite again and the world will salute our love

So that's what he confessed to me today.

Since that girl might feel bad if i tell her name ( actually too many people in our college love her. :P In fact i am one in the list . ) . So let us name her X. Hmmm no why X ?? X is for unknown values. I know her and you know her too. So let us name her S.

Now our hero manas, met this girl in second year and he didn't like her much. She used to give boring work to our villain ( ???? ). So manas never liked her. In fact he hated her so much, that he never wanted seeing her again. But manas, when he first met that girl felt that he could change her and make her better. But this girl was so bad that manas had almost lost hopes :-(

// If you want you add a sad song here where just the hero sings something in sad tone all alone. Like

dil ke raste me aisi thokar maine khayi
tute khawab sare aisi mayusi hai chhayi
har khusi ko gaye,jindagi so gaye
tumko jo pyar kiya maine to saja me paye
tanhayee,tanhayee,tanhayee......
from Dil Chahta Hai

If you don't know Hindi, you can imagine this song

kaN paesum vaarthaigaL purivadhillai
kaathirundhaal peN kanivadhillai
oru mugam maRu mugam theriya
kaNNaadi idhayam illai, kadal kai koodi maRaivadhillai
from 7G Rainbow colony

Then suddenly S and manas met more often. Manas also got some people (including me) to help him. Soon he changed S. It was magic. This stupid girl who is not useful for anything suddenly became the hot topic in college.

// A duet song here will be fine. Don't worry we will make manas dance when i shoot this movie ;) . Songs like the following will be fine

jise dhundata hoon main har kahin
jo nahi mili mujhe thi kahin
mujhe jiske pyar par ho yakin
wo ladki hai kahan
jise sirf mujhse hi pyar ho
jo ye kehne ko bhi taiyaar ho
suno tumhi mere dildaar ho
wo ladki hai kahan
From Dil Chahta Hai

or

Sutrum vizhi sudare
Sutrum vizhi sudare
En lagam unnai sutruthe
Sattai payyil un panam
Thottu thottu urasa
En idhayam patri kolluthey
Un vizhiyil vizhunden
Vinveliyil paranthen
Kanvizhithu soppanam kanden
Unnale kanvizhithu soppanam kanden
From Ghajini

After she changed, manas loved her more and more. He forgot about his studies. He forgot about his room, friends and almost everything. All cared only about her and sometimes was ready to do anything for her.

But a sad thing happened. I was a good friend of both manas (thanks to Spider) and her. I knew manas was in love with her, but even i started liking her. So much that sometimes i was ready to give anything for her. :-). Now i don't know who loved her more since it is not possible to compare. Soon manas came to know that i had a crush over her. I though he will be angry with me :P but he didn't say anything.

Though me and manas were good friends, last semester we were really fighting for her. We gave her so much importance but we forgot about everything else.

And on Spider's Farewell day, just some few minutes before the end of the party, she proposed me :P . It was kind of strange, coz others started clapping and all when she did that. I was actually blushing. I knew that was going to happen but i never that it will happen during the farewell. And actually even manas was there when she proposed me. He was very sad that day. :P Anyway the party mood made him forget about that. :P

Now that manas is gone, she is all mine.Unfortunately, now more and more people are getting really really interested in her, though as of now, i think i am the only person mad about her.

Note ::
If you have found out who she is, just say that so. You need not tell her name. :P
Also there is another interesting story :P by suren . Check it here

I'm interested

Do you know that when you use caps or large font while chatting or in mail, it implies that you are shouting.

I generally get irritated when people shout, but this one is an exception. I was really glad that he shouted. In fact, i was waiting for him to shout. Now that he is with us, nothing can stop us. :-)

Disclaimer :: Sorry. This blog post is only for me. If you don't get anything, just forget about this and move to the next post.

Comments :)

How many comments have you seen for a single blog ?

Well, when i asked taggy (the internet guru of NITT) he replied around 10-20. Suren has seen around 50 for a he-she blog.

But this one is amazing. A single blog (in fact a single line blog) getting around 268 comments (and still counting).

Reminds me that "What you say is more important than how much you say".

Hols are bad for health

Well, i never thought i will ever say this but really
"Hols @home sucks".
This is the first time i am actually staying at home after joining college (was lucky enough to keep myself busy with something or other during hols :-) ) and i never realized it will be so boring :(.

Not that i don't like my home but i simply miss college.
Even though i chat with my friends 24*7 , i simply miss people . The best part about being with a group is that you don't have to do everything alone. You're with your friends. Working alone is really not the kind of thing which i would like to do and now i have to work all alone. Wish college reopens soon ( even if reopens tomorrow, it is fine with me :-) :-) )

This quote is so true

Just as a puppy can be more of a challenge than a gift, so too can the holidays.

Life ...

Life is a beautiful poem with so many pages of lyrics written on every page. It depends on whether you sing a song with it or think it as a greek stupid probability junk and leave it .
I am gonna sing :-) :-)

Kelaaaaaaaa

Few days back got a message from one of my friend saying ,

Hey i sent you many messages but i have not received even a single message from you . So i will delete your number ... gud bye ...

Well i was kind of shocked and surprised to get such a message since she was one of my best friend . I checked my inbox after i got this message and found no new messages . Cursing my bsnl network n times and the ECE enginner who would have desinged my mob another n times , i decided to call her and explain what happened .

I called her and was kind of surprised to see her laughing. I asked her ¨What happened ?¨
She asked me to read the message. I was about to explain her what happened, but something sounded fishy. So i told her that i will do that and this time the message said

Hey i sent you many messages but i have not received even a single message from you . So i will delete your number ... gud bye ...


Sardar sends this message to customer care ;-) Be cool Good evening .

Note :: A big time Kela but seems even she got it when she got the message ;)
So no probs :) :) . "Memories saved" :) :)

Gift time :) :)

Gifts are always fun :)
Finally i managed to give a nice senti gift for alagu.
It was a small painting, but a nice one :)
But better than the painting is the small C snippet which we wrote for alagu

It goes like this

#include <lrsl.h>
#include <kadalai.h>
using namespace freenet;
#define work fun
#define alagu YAHOO MAN
int main () {
int gujjala, gujjalambal, lab :)
string alagu[] = { "deltaman",
"npiuman",
"Yahoo !! man ",
"dealboy"
};
cout << "It is fun to have you in sunlab !! ";
cout << "We will miss you !!! " << endl;
}


That says it all :) .
I will surely miss him next sem :-( :-( :-( :-( :- ( .....

Two stories :)

This is my blog and i have all rights to crap here . This blog may appear as total crap for few, may mean more to few . I really don't care what you are gonna think about me after you read this .

Read the following two stories

Story 1
Once upon a time , there was a crow and a fox . Both of them were hungry and the crow somehow managed to steal a vada from a paatti . It flew to a near by tree and planned to eat it there . This fox was very cunning and planned to steal the vada from the crow . It said all nice nice things about the crow and asked it to sing a song . The crow started singing kaka and the vada fell down . Fox ate the vada and ran away .

Moral of the story
Dont bring the vada outside the canteen and don't sing while eating a vada.

Story 2
Once upon a time there lived a crow . It was very thirsty . It searched for a water everywhere but could not find water anywhere . Finally it found a pot with very little water . But the water level was too low for it to reach . But this was a clever crow and saw pebbles lying around the pot. It dropped these pebbles into the pot one by one and slowly the water level rose. The crow drank water and flew away happily

Moral of the story
Dont know :)

My Seniors :) :)

Again i was jobless :P googling something arbit , when i saw the "I am Feeling Lucky" button in google.
It is one of the features in google which i have never used. I always prefer seeing the list of search results and click atleast 10 of them :P

But it made me think for a moment . Am i lucky. And the answer is "YES" .

Why should i be feeling lucky ???

I think i have got the best seniors one could ever have . They are friendly, simple and spending time with them , anyone will have loads and loads of fun :) :) :) . And yes they are real "fundoos" who has done amazing things during their college life :) :) :)

And the best part is i never felt anyone as my senior. They are actually my "best friends".
The list goes like this .

Satya Madhav Kompella (Madhav)
Met him in my first year . Taught me C and C++ in the cry classes :) . A real fundoo but simple down to earth . Wish i could meet him sometime
Shankar Ganesh (Shagan)
My LDTP senior :P . OMG . This guy surely rocks . FUN FUN FUN . That's all i had when i spend time with this guy.
Manu (Manu)
Learnt a lot from him . An ideal senior :) . Mr . Perfect in everything. Only kandu without a GF in college :)
Allagappan Muthuraman (Alagu)
Helped me learn lots and lots during my second year in lrsl . :) He is really an amazing guy
Manas Garg (Manas)
My Spider senior . God . That explains everything :)

Note :: Sorry for few mistakes in the blog :P . I wrote this one in prasanna's algorithmic tricks class and obviously you tend to make mistakes when someone is disturbing you with dfs , bfs , dp etc :) :) .
So got confused betweeen a mallu and a kandu :) :)
And yes , i should have put "AJAX alagu" there , that would have made things clear :P

I hate CT's :(

In examinations, the foolish ask questions the wise cannot answer
---Oscar Wilde

Wow , this suits my college cycle tests also . The one and only thing which i hate in my college is CT's :( :(.
Those 3 days ,
I try to read something and end up sleeping the whole day.
I think that i wont go to octa, end up making a night out there.
At the end i always find that i have never read the syllabus even once and wont be able to finish the full portions :)

And this time i noticed that some of my friends who are real padipps were also getting frust coz of CT's

Some of the messages or quotes which they mentioned during their peak of frustration .

1. Dude , tell me one thing . Why do i feel so sleepy when i try to study and never when i'm in lab ?

2. It is study time :( i mean sleepy time ;)

3. Aah i never disliked studies so much

4. Cycles prep Aa? It sucks !

5. :( :( I'm going to himalayas. No more CT's in my life.I will take lots of food stuff, eat and roam aroud there.

6. CT SUCKS

7. If there were one more CT, i would have killed one of these prof and gone to jail..

8. Lets kill mala, then they will postpone the CT's

9. Lets mail Bush that Osama is hiding in CSE dept . He will bomb the dept and they will cancel the CT's :)

The list is long and i cant post everything here . God save these frust people. Save me from my dept :) :)
