Dressing up

"Simplicity and clarity should be your theme in dress" my orkut fortune

i believe in not dressing up at all... Dont know why but I have never been interested in dressing up. Somehow I feel its a way of creating an impression. Why should I create an impression... that too with my appearance is my arguement... It might seem foolish... but the adamant guy that I am I will stick to it... I would like people who take me as I am and not because how i look. That way I feel I use my dressing sense (or lack of) to connect to only the people who are not superficial (or dont award utmost imp to superficiality!!) ..... Even my long hair was not an intention to be a hep guy.. It was only a manifestation of this rebellion :D ....

Gult guys

I am at the stage where many batchmates (including most of my close friends!!) are making a very important decision in life.... Obvioulsly choosing the life partner...

I have heard all sorts of things from these guys..... i refer only to the gult friends here..... There have been guys who said the girl has to be gult (includes me !! ) ... There are others who said she should be traditional..conservative... ( again I am one of them!!) .... But as the wickets start to tumble (i mean they start finding partners!!) these rules or broad guidelines seem to vanish.... A guy who cant even look at a girl without a bindi ... goes for one who never puts on one !!.... Guys born and brought up in India look towards the ABCD community weirdly!! and a guy falls for her!!.. I am not saying they are wrong or something... Its just that priorities change... I feel its interesting to see all this !! of course they are heading the right way I guess... because thats where they want to go....

I remember what all these guys have said .... So its naturally a little surprising for my conservative self to see these things..... Lets see what more interesting stories I will have to see in the future ...

Amidst all this my future personally is still a blur !!

JOB

A very good friend of mine has been made a job offer.... and most surely she would be staying in austin after Phd..... I am very happy for her :)

All the best for the future !!

Coding ... lets see

I have been trying to understand CEMDAP for about 2-3 days.... I feel if we start looking at the big picture and spend more time we will be able to understand it more clearly. To do this we will need a comprehensive list of the class structures employed and understanding which function is being called in whcih file!!

lets see...we are attempting it today!!

Whats happenning

I have to let out some steam..... this has been a stressful month... I am not used to coding and trying to code without proper time to look into is not very easy... my work now needs results without lag time which works sometimes but in this case is casuing some frustration!!

I have lot to do 3 courses, assignments... research work and my paper ....when will i get this done!!

god knows... may be if the sem is over i will be in better shape..lets see

Blogging

Why does anybody blog?
Is it because he/she wants to let out some steam..... Is it because he wants everybody to know how happy he/she is and share it with them (assuming many people read the blog)..... Is it like a diary... Is it just work of creativity.....Or It can be a means of discussing ones political / cultural and other opinions....

I myself have asked myself the question many times.... Though I havent got an answer.... I do want to keep a diary...so that down the years I can revisit the stuff and remember the moments both happy and sad.... This is one of the reasons I do not ask people to read my blog. I mean I let my friends know I have a blog. Its upto them to read it or not... (but i guess here is where I want to share my happiness/sadness comes in I guess)..... I am sure that I am not creative enough even to consider the third option :D ... I do discuss my opinions.... But since nobody comments the purpose is not served. I could say its more like putting forward my thoughts on Indian Politics, Sports and what not !!

But whatever the purpose I feel a sense of relaxation when I write the blog. So I continue... Lets see how long I will do it....

Cooking - An art

Cooking..... The male chauvinist (now I am more than liberal :D) self I was once upon a time, I considered cooking an exclusive female domain.... But I tried my hand it and I wud say I am not bad.... But I still always thought that girls can cook better... because there is something the females get to do with the same stuff that we use and still cook better than guys.... But I have learnt there are exceptions.... girls who dont realize whether the recipe is for a kg of brinjals or 1 brinjal....... who when said put some channa dal seeds....... instinctively ask.... how many seeds ?... and end up burning microwaveable taquitos ... these are some examples among countless ones....... if you think I am listing exmples about some girls...sorry you are mistaken... These are from the resume of a single person..... God save ur hubby !! :D
