Yippee...

Yippee..... after more than a fortnight at Chennai, absconding from Coimbatore, I'm just so thrilled to be back and I'm just going to take what it brings and enjoy every bit of it. Eagerly awaiting to catch up with my friends and family of course, who can forget that come-Friday-and-it's-partytime weekend activity.... pssst... at one of my buddy's place... ahem... Saravanampatti to be precise.. teehee. Missed ya all fellas.....

Well, buddies, I would be really delighted if a few things are taken care of.... As discussed previously with one of my friends, a Royal Red Carpet welcome would be apt (woven from the finest yarns of the lands of Kashmir), I always make sure that I never travel anything less than a Mercedes for transportation around, and some of the finest flowers from all over the world for welcoming me would be ubercool..... Yo guys.. you hearing me... stop thinking and start getting things done....

LETTER TO GOD!!

A little boy wanted Rs. 50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Finally he decided to write God a letter requesting the Rs. 50.

When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, INDIA, they decided to forward it to the President of the India as a joke. The President was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy Rs. 20.

The President thought this would appear to be a lot of money ( Rs. 50) to a
little boy, and he did not want to spoil the kid. The little boy was delighted with Rs. 20, and decided to write a thank you note to God, which read:
"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed
that you sent it through the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, and those donkeys deducted Rs. 30 in taxes ... "

Pulsar Aalaa Re!!!

It's official. Bajaj Auto today launched the latest bike from its hat, the all new Pulsar DTS-Fi 220cc. I remember during my college days when Splendors, Yamahas, and Samurais ruled the campus, things had to change and it did indeed.

One fine day, a friend of mine rode into the college campus this dazzling black stallion (love to call it dat way always). The very sight of the mammoth petrol tank sent cold shivers down my spine, and I had this spine-tingling sensation wondering if I would ever be able to get into the saddle of this 150 kg-plus monster. Over the years, it has seen a steady transition, be it the performance or the design, both at its peak. With a price tag of around 83 grand, this blink-and-u-miss-it bike sure gives other players a run for its money. I ain't diving much into the specifications for now....

Precious Human Life

SOS.... SOS...

Imagine four noble men at home, with just two keys. Sounds confusing? Well.. well.. well.. the inevitable had to happen, nothing could have stopped it whatsoever. I am left stranded like a lost lover in front of my house, at least for the time being. After blogging for quite some time an hour back, munching oodles and oodles of noodles, heading back home waiting to hit the rack, I was shell-shocked to find my access denied, sans any keys. Luckily the one in possession of the key would be back by half past 10 or something.

And moreover with the skies turning over and rumbling, sensing another shower, I had to opt for a temporary shelter till 11 PM, and here I am blogging from a cyber cafe, oddly tilting my head, to see this old and clunky television perched high in the corner, catching up with the action of the Indie/Suid Afrika cricket match....

Magnificient House!!!

Yes, this is the house of Sania Mirza in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. She bought a mountain for 9 crores and built this building with 31 crores ....... (as per sources)

(P.S.) With the most eligible bachelor lurking around in Chennai, it's high time she meets her dream guy... Sania... yo hearing me?

Network Analysis... too good...

To all, who know how to solve the problems mathematically, something for you all. Please solve it

Kirchoff's Current Law (KCL):
At every node, the sum of all currents entering a node must equal zero.

Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL):
The voltage law says that the sum of voltages around every closed loop in the circuit must equal zero.

Exercise :
Please apply Kirchoff's Current and Voltage laws to the following figures.

Anyone hearin me.....?

Two weeks down at Chennai, might be wondering what this chap is up to. Well..... the course is moving at a crisp and brisk pace, so far so good.

All you art lovers and stealers out there, here's a rare opportunity to own some exquisite paintings, from the very Art Gallery of Antz, that would add that special finesse and charisma to your very room (do I sound funny to ya?).

Before these paintings go under the hammer, courtesy our very own Sotheby’s, some of these paintings at auction for my near and dear ones.... teehee....

Enough of your crap Antz is the first compliment I would get. Well, to sum it up... thought of posting some art work (if you wish to call it), courtesy our very own Photoshop.

Lateral Thinking

Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain.
He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter.
Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide the matter.
He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag.
1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.
2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.
3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.

They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag.
Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you have told her?

Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:
1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat.
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking. The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses the above logical answers.

What would you recommend to the Girl to do?

Well, here is what she did ...
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.

"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked."
Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't attempt to think. Start your day with this thought provoking story and have a nice day.

Taxi Tales

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimeters from a shop window.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said :

"Look mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!".

The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realize that a little tap would scare you so much."

The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver - I've been driving a van carrying dead Bodies for the last 25 years.....

It's raining!!!!!!

It's raining, it's pouring, right here, right now, much to the relief of Chennaites... and me of course (still a Coimbatorean at heart) I wish I could click in a few snaps of the city merrily basking in the gentle rain, but I would have to risk my cam, for it's water-susceptible, one drop of H2O and it's mayhem.

So, what am I doing .... sitting cosily tucked in bed, listening to some real rockin stuff.... fine-tuning my sketching skills....


My partners-in-crime....... ahem.... my roommates, Satish & Shine, the fourth one absconding for nearly a week or two...

Two ultra precious things that gives me time and company everywhere, my watch & MP3 player, gifted by my cool and awesome friends at KGiSL, a rock-hard bonding of being a part of them.... Love ya alll fellas.... (next time, I chip in, I can expect a PS2, right!!! teehee)

Shine, ask him anything about software, you won't be disappointed. Just recently did I get a clear-cut definition of what an Operating System is...jeeeez..

Just out of bed... I miss football. Might be wondering what in the world is this crazy chap refering to. The orange football jersey I am wearing is a prize possession of mine, courtesy our very own Intradepartmental Football Tournament at FRM. Sob..sob...

Collateral Fun

An Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan
officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business
for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security
for the loan, so the Indian man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked
on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything
checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the
loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Indian
for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An
employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground
garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Indian returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest,
which comes to $15.41.The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to
have had your
business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely,but we are a
little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you
are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow
"$5,000"

The Indian replies: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two
weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return'"
