Madhouse Rock

This morning was reading up for the Electronic Devices and Integrated Ckts (EDIC) exam. It was the last paper, and was in a bad mood. The subject is quite difficult, although interesting.

Point being- I saw these activities in the hostel:
1)People running ragged hither-tither, hair askew, like they are about to miss a train.
2)Somebody oscillating in corridors, holding a book to himself, muttering what seem to be obscenities under his breath (maybe he is cramming up formulae!)
3)People shouting, 4-at-a-time, discussing whether or not the IMPATT diode will bring about a lag of 179deg or 181deg!
4)Rock music playing so loud that the whole of BITS hears it.
5)Rock music playing so loud that the whole of BITS hears it.
6)Rock music playing so loud that the whole of BITS hears it.
7)KK shouting out 'Iin Dino", just for the fun of it, to irritate people.
8)Harried people, who have probably been up all night, responding with 'Ae's and asking him to shut up...

Doesn't the scene bear an eerie resemblance with a mental institution?

Microelectronics

Just had my 4th paper.. Microelectronic Circuits. Its a beautiful subject. Its amazing how you can control devices at such small scales. The sad part is, you have to everything on your own. Faculty crunch hurts here the most. Not enough people is one reason, but what about those who are here? Shouldnt there be some quality control on teachers?
A big step in that direction needs to be evaluation of teachers by students, not the other way. Coz lots of times, I am more interested in learning than that guy is interested in teaching (or more likely, its the lack of ability on his part) :(
Anyway, got no paper for next two days. So peace...

Does it matter?

Life is not about constantly worrying how it would turn out to be. It is about making the most of the moment. And the sooner I come to grips with this, the better

Bob Dylan

Have recently started hearing a bit of Bo Dylan.. Blowin in the Wind is too good. And yesterday heard another of his songs.. The lyrics go something like this:

Clowns sittin to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you...

And I am wondering what it is I should do,
Its so hard to keep that smile on my face...
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you!

Am I?

An eventful day for the world...

Nawaz Sharif was exiled from Pakistan in contempt of a Supreme Court decision... More importantly Britney made her long awaited comeback.She sucked from what I hear, read and see. Her dress would make any pornstar hide in shame. She has lost her shapely curves too. :(
Her transition from a nice teen icon to a nervous wreck has been heartbreaking to watch. She never was a great singer, but she was a heartthrob of millions for the way she carried herself, the image that she had... They say fame is fickle, but now-a-days its more troublesome than that. It would have been better if she had faded from the public conscience, rather than the dissection of her every action that is carried out by the unforgiving press... I pity her...

THE ARC

Starting a club for encouraging students to start with amateur electronics and robotics has been a long standing dream of mine. Especially, at this campus,it is a requirement, which despite all all the amazing things it has taught me, still lacks that technical bent of mind, which you would expect as a must at one of the premium engineering institutions in the country. Now as I start of this club - THE ARC (The Hobby Electronics and Amateur Robotics Club), I actually dream of the campus, getting better and better over the next few years, competing with the best in the world...

Lack of time!!!

As expected, life in the third year is quite hectic.. Its insane to try n juggle so many things. Its no longer like in second year, when you think that you will plan out your third year better... The time is NOW, the place is HERE.
Anyway, its fun being in the midst of something or the other all the time. You don't have the time to brood upon what could have been and what isn't. You are actually doing something all the time. Enjoying every moment of it!
