On your mark

hmm...its 14 november today - whats so special abt it?..well for some it might be their birthday, for some it is World Usability Day and for me its 30 days from homecoming....14 december ki chai hum Pune me piyenge!!...and interestingly, these 30 days are crucial for me in many ways..lot of work to be done, deadlines to meet and jobs to be searched, besides Thanksgiving turkey at my host's place. I just have 1 more written exam at Virginia Tech, probably the last one in my career, in my life (does that sound too farfetched??).. i m just being optimistic...exams in VT guve me nightmares.

We screwed our software engg project and a lot of time had to be spent in damage control. It gave insights to real world scenario and helped me learn a lot..after all isnt failure the stepping stone to success..but does failure HAVE TO be a stepping stone?.. i mean cant we always get it right the first time..i guess its not a perfect world..even Windows had its own problems initially, rather still has..so maybe there is nothing like perfect..each failure is an OFI - opportunity for improvement..hmm..sounds like positive attitude...get ready boy.. u have a long road ahead!

Cassata

dont have anything specific to write abt in this blog, but still i want to write something..you know its a good way to spend time after all, i dont want the 15 days since my last blog go missing in history just because i was too lazy to write anything today!

life is as it should be for a graduate student studying Computer Science - study, study and more study..did i say study??.
2nd midterms are round the corner as is dada's engagement, but being here i cant do much except call and say a big HI....
i had a fight with the linux kernel last week and since then, it has failed to behave as expected..it becomes nervous and doesnt respond..looks like i will have to take him for a ride to get its mood right!!
Algorithms course sounds more interesting as exams approach, its just the sheer pressure that makes u love the subject; besides its helping me in other ways too. We had a nice photo session at the university "Class of 2007"..hmm looks like i will graduate finally next semester.. or at least the authorities tell me i will..time to be kicked out soon..better get back to work.
