Relaxed

I'm busy brushing up my concepts on all sorts of algorithm Genetic,Neural networks , Bayesian networks ...(and so on :) ) and practicing for all possible question they could ask in viva.Yet I'm relaxed because I'm listening to a song,an aubade which has least of words(which I could not understand,probably South Indian)and more of flute and good soul touching music.
It has happened quite a few times that I've downloaded some songs by mistake and they turned out to be most played items in music player.I have this thought while listening, studying, hopping...

Best lies all around me,
I just be random in selecting and I might end up with the best (all days are not same though).
Stochastic model could be more refined version of it. Ohh!! I must get back to viva preparation I forgot what stochastic model is!! :(

Good morning.

Good day bad day

Good day bad day
all in the same day.
I worked up till 6 am this morning which means I didn't sleep for whole night yesterday, wow!!
This was the first time I had ever 'worked' till morning.Last time the record was 5 am,that time work involved chatting.But this time work was real work.I had to prepare report for the Mid term project viva. Basically I had to write the summary of all the research papers I've read and then draw a graphical representation suggesting some correlation between them.I had bulk of those research papers and I was most confident of making a very good report out of it.I certainly forgot to notice one thing that 'too much of a thing does no good,it adds to confusion,for there are too many choices' .,that is what exactly happened last night.I had tough time selecting the paper and then reading it,aargh!! I had read quite a few but I didn't perform the job systematically therefore by the time I started to summarize them I had forgotten almost everything I had read.I had trouble big time finding exactly where exactly which item was.Being too systematic in putting papers in various folders only incremented the confusion.
Before getting on to job I did some awkward chit chat and then fianally started workin at 1 am.The task involved 2 activities
a) to make the report
b)to make the presentation
I worked 5 hours to get the report job done,though it was kinda vague. I went to bed at 6 to catch some nap. That was actually a fun part.I remember I was laughing in initial 15 mins while tossing over bed,but why was I laughing? I had no idea.I guess I was too tired to remember anything.It was as if someone was telling jokes.Whatever,I could only manage the report part in whole night,that too obscure.I tried to reach college as early as possible because presentation was suppose to be held at 11:30 am .As I reached the college I quickly began the job.2.5 hours were quite less for the remaining job which of course had sub tasks.I had to get the approval on the presentation(which was not even made) from my project mentor,I had to get the printout of the (vague)report and arrange it in order and then prepare for the viva,most important being preparing PPT . clock showed 11:10, I had almost made the PPT,I was working on the last slide I guess, KAZZzzAM and the computer,out of the blue,went off . I smiled,I had to for I had been repeatedly humming this phrase for couple of weeks now 'anything that can possibly go wrong,will' and it did . I looked at the LEDs of monitor that went on and off making ****ing funny noise and I had no idea what to do.I took a 'long' slow walk to one of the panelist's cabin and stood outside for some time,I decided to come back and see if by mistake I has saved my work before this 'slap of fate on my face' happened.Thank you Microsoft!! I'm sorry for I had been cursing you every second while using any of your softwares or OS but you are lifesaver of this kid,Thank you again. I had temporary copy still saved and I didn't loose more than a slide,that was marvellous.By 11:30 presentation was 'complete' and I walked with some gained confidence towards the panelist's cabin.I neither got the PPT reviewed by my mentor nor I could get printout of the report. One of the panelist was not free at that time so my presentation has been postponed till Saturday.Now,at least I can make some consctructive modification in it.I really felt happy because
a) I had almost lost the thing but by God's grace and Microsoft's help my PPT was safe.
b) I got extra time to work on my prsentation and report.
Rest of the day was o.k. . One super bore visiting faculty took lecture of 2 hours.If rumours are to be believed he's our future H.O.D. .He has to take 2 more 2 hours session tomorrow and day following that .ATTENDENCE IS COMPULSARY in it. :(
On my way back,every red light was green light,I found none where I had to stop, that was the peculiar thing about good day!! I have just woke up from my 'power nap' and idea of writting the thing got into my head which was favoured by internet supply,which is gone now.I'll post it whenever it's there.
Ciao

He said it again.....

First of all,reaching this page was not as easy as I thought it would be.Reason being I changed my password for this thing few days back which I certainly forgot.I had been trying to log in with the wrong one for half an hour now,to ultimately reach to this page.God has been kind enough I have continuous net supply for this 1/2 hour ,rare phenomenon though!!
There is no dearth of topic on which things can be written at least till the time this ****ing-linguistic-biased-jackass is alive aka M.N.S. chief.What the hell is his name??I am as always,bad at remembering names(particularly of dorks) .I had planned to write about this yesterday,but there was no internet.Its been a boon rather because this 'dodo' has come with a point of his own about 'MARATHI ASMITA' (marathi pride) and threatened Mr. Bachchan and his family!! What does he think of himself??Things that he associate with pride are all pity things related to speaking Marathi and using it as the signboard language!!
It happened like this,lemme quote the best of what I remember.This is what Ma'am Jaya ji said in the music release of movie 'Drona' ,while handing over the mike to Priyanka Chopra(who made her Miss World??) , "Hum toh U.P. ke hain,isliye hum Hindi mein hi bolenge.Maharashtrians ko bura lag sakta hai" .What wrong did she say? Is it crime to speak in National language or the mother tongue,for that matter.If Mr. Thackrey (the junior, senior is too old to do anything) happens to be there in some part of U.P. or Bihar(for relief work,huh) which language will he speak? Marathi? Who will understand it? How many people in this world understand Marathi? Well according to a census it is the 3rd most spoken language in India,but it can't outnumber Hindi,never.so have some respect for the National language,if not for people speaking it.
It is good to fight for one's 'pride',one must.But being fanatic for no reason is mere insanity. And if one tries to impose it on others I see it no different from the forceful change of religion,practiced earlier.This was opposed by my,their(marathis') hero Shivaji .Will you oppose what your master did,Mr. Thackrey?
Give up this cheap politics,no one buys it,except for your handful good-for-nothing zealots.Try something constructive,polls are near.Buy my advice, bhaiya ji keh rahe hain.You might win
