another dimension!!

Yes,for the past few days I've been so bored by the lack of activity(or presence of 2oo many activities??)that I've decided I'm gonna add another dimension to an already clumsy personality of mine,viz.reviews of films I've seen.well,this might seem to be the most stupid or most creative idea but as "Ed Wood" says often there is a fine line separating the most idiotic and the most brilliant thoughts.

A month after a thorough rest

The title says everything about what is gonna follow in this post.A month hence the examinations life's so cool that very thought of having to spend two more years studying frightens me.aahh..these days...what a nice time I am having..I envy the life which I am leading right now..absolutely no tensions..no one to nudge you.No sights of grading in the vicinity,staying a month away from the "continuous grading"mania of IITK has its usea I presume and of course we are making use of them to the fullest.People are supposed to pursue study under the guidance of faculty members which I suppose very few people do sincerely.As for me,speech recognition hasn't really taken off, but yes,the progress of the case study seems to be pretty encouraging.I have been busy most of this month taking my time off literally everything.

Here ends 4th semester..I can hardly believe the fact that I'm into 3rd year so soon..Some one had correctly said that "Time flies".Anyways this was a decent semester at the end of which I had managed to ameliorate my academics.For at least the next three months I can pursue whatever I'm interested in.After a two days off today I've brushed upon the white paper of Sphinx4 system.
We are supposed to build a Speech Recognition based automation system in Hindi for none other than IIT Kanpur which would pave way for the advent of speech systems on Indian Languages which aim at reaching out to the illiterate,the rural people and the physically challenged.Quite a noble cause which enthuses me.I hope to play my part well .

Yet another suicide..

It was the 26th day of april ..I was having my breakfast in the mess worrying about the Computer Organisation examination which I was scheduled to appear later that day.A mess worker who was serving water,told me"ek ladka train ke niche koodke sucide kar liya hai..aaj subah tin baje..aap koi bharadwaj ko jante hain kya..hall-5 mein jo bharadwaj tha wo yahin pe tha na pichele sal tak, ..gora sa..wo to padhai mein tej tha..".How could I possibly explain to the mess worker that all of the fellows at this world reputed institute are supposed to be the creme de la creme of the nation and it is indeed unfortunate that students commit suicides because of their inability to live up to the expectations of the people surrounding them.

I was surprised first to hear that yet another suicide had taken place in the campus ((though it shouldn't have been for since my first semster at this so called dream institution I have seen such an incident every semester during the endsem ).But this was a very disturbing experience.The person this time was a guy whom I knew very well and addressed "anna".I couldn't believe this and just hoped that it was not him but somebody else.(selfishness.. you know).I immediately rushed to my room to find out the details and confirm the identity . After contacting almost every senior I knew and after an hour or so ,that was confirmed.It was "him".
The reason behind this was stated to be academic deficiency leading to depression.I was very upset about it.
I still remember the lean, fair, childish ,soft spoken senior who did not know how to rag the juniors properly and hence took one of his senior's help and later on wanted me to recite some sacred hymns as a part of the same.
I had met him in our canteen about 3 days before the mishap and talked extensively for about an hour during which we counseled a junior .Never did I know that that was the last time I'd ever see him.

Oh ,my dear friend!! may your soul rest in peace.

perfect start..

I am wondering what I am doing over her right now updating my blog instead of studying for the so called"phodu" course ,discrete mathematics..I just wanted to share my feelings on how yesterday's exam of computational methods went..It was an ideal exam to begin with because you can get away with meagre or I would say infinitesimal preparation(of course when compared to other courses) and to add to that was the luxury of being allowed to take a couple of A-4 sheets with stuff written on them.But this luxury almost ruined my party and gave me an initial scare during which I managed to solve only one problem out of eight in first forty-five minutes thanks to an error in the formula-sheet(I noticed that the same was the case with many, so there might be a case when instructor himself had faltered in lecture,of course i don't know because I have rarely been to class).But then I did not panic and always backed myself knowing that I could finish the paper off perfectly in time which was the case finally.This was quite the beginning I wanted and yeah this could in all probability get me an "A" grade for the first time here..

SHE

"She"...listening her talking, chatting with her or even thinking about her for that matter makes me smile in a unique way..may be that is called a blush as many people say..what does she mean to me..it may not be an exaggeration or a rush of blood to say that she's right up there in my wish list..just for the reason that I feel that 'm at my best when 'm in her company..I am more natural and more childish.I like to be lectured by her for doing some supposedly don't s .:P I love to be a spectator when she is in charge of the proceedings or having a go at me.. god!! I really love that..
Its an inexplicable feeling when some hitherto unknown magic takes you over .You will remain stranded and cherish the moments forever.Man!! I really miss those moments..having to spend 1 more month before listening to her..I never thought missing someone might be that tough and I surely have never ever even imagined in my wildest dreams that I'd say this for a girl..may be I was wrong..may be I was immature..may be I was right ..probably because she ain't any girl.she is "SHE".. :)

Heat is on!!

As we enter into the final phase of the fourth semester ,everything is heating up.Even the weather has heated up in the past 10 days.Students are running after profs nudging them for summer projects though they still maintain clean attendance in the classes[:P].The sem has been a hectic one with one of the two dept. courses being pretty tough as to understand let alone answer the questions.God knows how 'm gonna do well in the end-sems. I've been hinging my hopes on a decent performance in this semester and desperate to perform well.May I be blessed with the courage and patience to tackle the tricky situations taht I'm gonna be up against in the near future!!
