Highway to hell
At last I managed to pester my dad to allow me to drive the car on the highway on the way back from Vellore today. It was a few kilometers past Rathnagiri and I took hold of the wheel, and depressed the accelerator and roared down the road, and was nearly doing eighty in the third gear. Dad screamed at me to stop and drive more slowly, and I accelerated slower. Then he gained confidence in me and let me progress up to a 100 kmph. He kept up with a running commentary which was a little irritating, but then one can't have the best of everything. It was just short of Sriperumbudur when he took over from me again.
Please always wear seat-belts while travelling in a car if it is available. People just don't know how useful it is.

What's wrong?
I read somewhere (I think it was in the Hindu Education Plus) that our model of affiliation is based on the affiliation system that was adopted by universities in the UK in the 1880s, and abandoned three years later. However, why we insist on following that model even now, remains to be seen.
My college has a no capitation fee policy. They are very strict about this, they absolutely do NOT charge anyone any extra fees regardless of whether they came in through the single window system or by separate application, they have huge boards proclaiming this policy on the campus, have it running on marquees on websites and stuff. Now such a policy is great if you are a parent wanting to admit your child to a "reputed" engineering college and do not want to end up paying through your nose. Therefore, this policy would have been a great attraction to people whose kids did not have too good marks, but needed to get into an engineering college, when the college was started, some thirteen years ago. However, what they did not realize is the consequent cash loss they'd have to incur.
Since they do not charge capitation fees, they cannot boast of the funds that some other engineering colleges can boast of. This lack of funds results in lower salaries to members of the staff compared to other colleges, and especially in departments like computer science, where the man power fight is against software companies, and colleges, frankly are no match against their lures. Now, to bring about the quality education that engineering colleges boast about in their advertising material, there must be an incentive for people who are knowledgeable in required fields to come and teach. Money is the bet incentive, and in not getting capitation fees and making extra money, my college loses out on gaining that edge. And so, "for greater good" colleges should make accepting capitation fees part of their admission criteria. Of course, it shouldn't be exorbitant, and this is where the government could step in set up a regulatory mechanism.
I would now like to dwell on the affiliation system of our beloved university. All though I am no economics/current affairs/whatever expert, I can tell you for sure that it was globalisation of the Indian economy that has led to the current situation of more than 250 engineering colleges in a single state in the country. When India opened her economy to the world in the 1990s, more and more foreign players realized India's worth as a nation with huge human resources, and many foreign corporations decided to let this huge mass of humanity do their dirty work, leading to the phenomenon we all have come to call outsourcing. Now Indian labour was cheap, skillful, and Indians as a rule spoke better English than did their neighbours the Chinese, which too was a huge manpower reservoir. This lead to a huge demand for technically trained staff to actually sit and do the work. Faced with the problem of losing out on foreign investment to other countries, we hit upon a simple solution. Open a large number of institutions that offer technical training.
Now that you've allowed a quadrillion different engineering colleges to spring up like mushrooms, how do you keep control of all of them, and how do you preserve some semblance of sanity? You bring all those colleges under the control of one university. Now where universities all over the world were autonomous, and worked independently towards achieving their aims, here we had 250 replicas of the same system, each churning out a prescribed amount of graduates every year. Once you have managed to bring about a system where 250 different colleges are pitted against each other, each starts to vie with the other for the cream of the student community, and each college tries to achieve better results, and gain better ranks over and above their counterparts. Once results become primary in importance, out goes other factors such as student life. Students are once again forced to mug up and write exams, with no emphasis whatsoever on the actual learning process. The education system now becomes a knowledge based system, where it is desperately imperative that it be inquiry based. Students are not encouraged to indulge in co-curricular or extra-curricular activities because such activities are perceived by college managements to be a diversion from studies. That education comprises co-curricular and extra-curricular activities too seems to be lost on them. To make students study even better, college managements narrow-mindedly choose to impose a variety of other rules that allegedly free the student mind from distractions. These include unreasonable rules like restricting attire to formals, banning the use of mobile phones, disallowing motor-bikes on campus, not allowing students to go out during class hours, and a whole lot of other quixotic rules.
They have done all that with the sole aim of improving student results, but has it really improved? Are the engineers that are turned out really competent? Are they employable? Sadly that leaves much to be desired. Creative human beings cannot be fostered by stamping out their individuality.
This is the state of affairs that has come about from the primary trigger of globalisation. Globalisation of course has its positive effects, but here I have restricted my scope of discussion to the state of engineering colleges in India. It however is my personal opinion that this is only the first wave, and that things will be a lot better in subsequent waves, which maybe in the 2010s and the 2020s. In the second wave people will collectively come to realize the follies of the preceding wave, and things will turn out to be much better than it is now. (Pardon me if I have started sounding a bit like Hari Seldon)
I have addressed (ranted about on) as many issues as I could think of for now. If I do come up with a lot of concurrent ideas/opinions on any of the issues discussed above, which I will, I shall follow them up on another post. To summarize, this is what in my opinion needs to be done.
* Allow colleges to collect capitation fees. They do need the money for development.
* Get rid of the affiliation system. It has too many responsibilities and has become an unwieldy empire.
* Grade students not on their performance in exams, but on their performance in class rooms. Let the course instructor decide.
* Ensure you have quality course instructors in the first place.
* Realize that you cannot bring about a change for the positive by implementing authoritarian rules.
All this has already been said in a lot literature. I just felt the need to post them and thats what I've done. There are a few opinions that are my personal ones. I am also not sure of most of the facts that I've mentioned. Errors are of course not regretted, because I don't give a damn.

Macrohard wins award
Multinational company Macrohard receives an award for the best shop floor practices in following the Japanese philosophy of the 5S, namely Stupidity, Soporificity, Serendipity, Somnambulism, and Psoriasis. (The last one doesn't start with S, but that's OK. How many of the three Rs of Education actually start with R anyway?)
November 20
Stock Markets Crash
Stock Markets around the world crashed because all of them ran Cascading Style Sheets with the parameter background-repeat: "no-repeat", reminiscent of the Y2K fiasco. Of course this had nothing to with the stock markets actually crashing, but this served as an appropriate scape goat. The crash was extensively covered on all news channels, which actually helped the stock markets recover as everyone lapped up the now cheap stock prices. The real reason for the crash was suspected to be the Tamil Nadu Agricultural board's light green text on a dark green background, but such evidence is only circumstantial, and was dismissed by news channels in favour of yet another wardrobe malfunction of some skinny anorexic super-model.
November 23
Riots in Engineering Colleges.
Riots broke out in Engineering colleges with students demanding that French be introduced as a compulsory subject after reading one Mr. Ali Bahrami expound on how one should speak English for business, German for Engineering, Persian for poetry, and French for seduction. Of course, why they didn't ask for German is anyone's guess. A small faction also demanded that Seduction be included in the 5S philosophy, but no one listened to a demand as outrageous as that. The rioters indulged in the usual disobedient activities of turning up in Jeans pants and fasting between break-fast and lunch.

Eminent academicians arrested
Eminent academicians Butterworth, Chebychev, and a few others were arrested on charges of conducting an orgy on the streets of the Vatican. Butterworth had this to say to our reporters as he was bundled into the police-car, "The input to the Radix-2 Decimation In Time Fast-Fourier Transform is an 8-Point sequence in Bit-Reversed Order". This was when the charges were amended to "Drunken Orgy".

Mozart Remembered
Yesteryear's musician of note, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was honoured by displaying one of his most famous sayings in hoardings and billboards worldwide at the stroke of midnight: Hear ye, hear ye, ze fundamental key to masthery over ze grand piano zis thu remember zat ze keys C# and Db are ze zame. Rumours abound that he might have had a hand in the drunken orgy of two days before.

History reveals itself at last
A surprising new insight into the life of the great Roman Emperor Julius Caesar was gained when archaeologists unearthed his personal diary. An extract:
It is raining outside. Having nothing to do, I invented an ingenious new technique of hiding important secret romantic messages to Cleopatra from the prying eyes of my courtiers. It involves writing down the letters horizontally first. Then all you have to do is to write them back vertically, thereby making it impossible to decipher!
This is an extract from Brutus' diary:
Its raining outside. That eternal fool Caesar thinks he can fool me by writing his letters to Cleopatra vertically rather than horizontally.
A few days later:
Its raining outside. Today, when I went and showed Caesar that I'd managed to decipher all of his messages to that female, all he could manage was a pseudo-grandiloquent "Et tu Brute" before clutching his heart and dying.
A few days later:
Its raining outside. Damn it. That Cleopatra bitch turned out to be a lame-fuck after all!
Thank you for turning into this edition of the fortnightly news. Stay tuned till the next edition. Bye, and take care.

Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery
The staff who form the core of the facility are well educated and well-trained, and they know what they are doing. The Plastic Surgeon Medical Director was trained at Stanford and UCLA Medical Center for general surgery as well as plastic surgery. The facilities here have been approved by the Federal Government after careful inspection and testing of equipment, verification on staff credentials and anything else any self-respecting government ought to do before giving away certifications.
The new and innovative way in which The Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery team approaches its problems has come under scrutiny and has gained very good peer reviews, and many have appeared on magazines and newsletters of international repute. The way patients turn up in droves and leave, all feeling satisfied have been covered in great detail and have featured in magazines as well as on television channels across the globe.
They specialize in cosmetic plastic surgery, and provide expert treatment for procedures such as ethnic plastic surgery, Beverly Hills liposuction, Beverly Hills rhinoplasty (sometimes called Beverly Hills nose job), and many other cosmetic surgery procedures.
The home page of their website gives you their phone number as well as their email address in case you want to contact them for clarifications. This is where your search for information about a qualified, experienced cosmetic surgeon ends!
What better way to wrap up your holiday season with some shopping, sight-seeing, and a little face-lift to make permanent that look of joy on your face!

The advantages of this include a recuperation far away from the pressures that surround home and the work place and a few days of holidaying away from the kids. It also helps speed up the recovery process according to the founder, because healing is sub-consciously linked to positive experiences during the healing period. So, pack your bags and head off for a holiday, and come back feeling younger, healthier, and more refreshed.

Blog advertising is now being seen as the next new means of reaching out to the masses, especially since the popularity of opinionated blogs on the internet has risen rapidly. Advertise on blogs if you want your new start-up to get known and achieve quick brand recognition. Blog advertising is not only cheaper and reaches a wider audience than conventional means, it is also an effective feedback technique, as blogs are the first places where products' reviews will get posted and advertisers can always keep track of this to get to know what is being talked about their product.
Smorty is not only an advertisers' haven, but also a resource for bloggers who would like to get paid for blogging. Friends, blog away!

The best forward I've received from orkut
Things to do in an exam when you know you're going to fail it anyway..
1. Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming "Andre, Andre, I've got the secret documents!!"
2. Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, "I'm SOOO sure that you can hear me thinking." Then start talking about what a jerk the instructor is.
3. Bring a Game Boy. Play with the volume at max level.
4. On the answer sheet find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer every question. For example: I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs. Be creative.
5. Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of relief. Go to the instructor, say "They've found me, I have to leave the country" and run off.
6. 15 min. into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell out "Merry Christmas." If you're really daring, ask for another copy of the exam. Say you lost the first one. Repeat this process every 15 min.
7. Come into the exam wearing slippers, a bathrobe, a towel on your head, and nothing else.
8. Come down with a BAD case of Tourette's Syndrome during the exam. Be as vulgar as possible.
9. Bring things to throw at the instructor when s/he's not looking. Blame it on the person nearest to you.
10. As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it.
11. Every 5 min. stand up, collect all your things, move to another seat, continue with the exam.
12. Turn in the exam approx. 30 min. into it. As you walk out, start commenting on how easy it was.
13. Get the exam. 20 min into it, throw your papers down violently, scream out "Fuck this!" and walk out triumphantly.
14. Arrange a protest before the exam starts (ie. Threaten the instructor that whether or not everyone's done, they are all leaving after one hour to go drink.)
15. Show up completely drunk (completely drunk means at some point during the exam, you should start crying for mommy).
16. Comment on how sexy the... {I didn't get this point beyond this. You fill it up yourself. You know how to}.
17. Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 min, put on a white mask and start yelling "I'm here, the phantom of the opera" until they drag you away.
18. If the exam is math/sciences related, make up the longest proofs you could possible think of. Get pi and imaginary numbers into most equations. If it is a written exam, relate everything to your own life story.
19. Try to get people in the room to do a wave.
20. Bring some large, cumbersome, ugly idol. Put it right next to you. Pray to it often. Consider a small sacrifice.
21. During the exam, take apart everything around you. Desks, chairs, anything you can reach.
22. Puke into your exam booklet. Hand it in. Leave.
23. Take 6 packages of rice cakes to the exam. Stuff at least 2 rice cakes into your mouth at once. Chew, then cough. Repeat if necessary.
24. Masturbate.
25. Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About 5 min into it, loudly say to the instructor, "I don't understand ANY of this. I've been to every lecture all semester long! What's the deal? And who the hell are you? Where's the regular guy?"
26. Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make one up!
27. Bring a black marker. Return the exam with all questions and answers completely blacked out.
28. Every now and then, clap twice rapidly. If the instructor asks why, tell him/her in a very derogatory tone, "the light bulb that goes on above my head when I get an idea is hooked up to a clapper. DUH!"
29. From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to Jeopardy. Ignore the instructor's requests for you to stop. When they finally get you to leave one way or another, begin whistling the theme to the Bridge on the River Kwai.
30. After you get the exam, call the instructor over, point to any question, ask for the answer. Try to work it out of him/her.
Cash Advance and Payday Loans

A day of catastrophes
And so it was that I found myself on a Pulsar, barreling down the Medavakkam-Sholinganallur connecting road at a 100kmph, when suddenly the machine started making funny noises, Thwack, thwack, thump, clump, kwoing, vrooooom, dzzzz..., pitched back and forth and stalled. Presto, we were left in the middle of nowhere with a bike without petrol, 7kms from any civilization, and 11kms from the nearest petrol bunk. So much for Sunil's promises claiming that the bike had enough petrol to last the distance despite being in reserve. And so, Visu and I started pushing the bike, while Vinod and Sunil went off in search of a petrol bunk ahead. We'd trudged along for nearly three kilometers and the Mohammed Sathak College buildings were just peeping up above the horizon, when Vinod and Sunil returned with a bottle of (life-saving) petrol. We poured it in using our hands as a funnel, and at last the bike started up. Phew.
Again we started off, and the rest of the drive was uneventful, and we managed to reach the place in one piece. There we found that the opening ceremony was only now winding to a close despite a major part of the day having gotten over. We registered, waited out the boring speeches to end, and made our way to the auditorium where the quiz was being held. The prelims involved a powerpoint presentation with 30 questions, and many of the questions had options and stuff like that. Not only that, the prelims were conducted in batches, all of them having the same sets of questions. Brilliant. A couple of teams wrote the prelims twice, and yet only one of them managed to qualify. The other team managed to get into the finals by replacing another team that'd gone off to do the debugging finals. We got into the finals pretty much legally, having written the prelims only once. The finals were crappier than the prelims because we were needed to debug programs, write code, answer questions from documentaries on operating systems, and asnwer rapidfire technical questions. Well, they are perfectly justified in asking questions of their choice, its their show. But there shouldn't have been so much disparity between the type of questions asked in the prelims, and the finals. If we'd known, we'd have forfeited the quiz and walked out, and would have attended the other events, for whose finals we'd qualified without any hassles.
Ultimately the quiz involved a tie for the first place between the Sairam team and the Loyola team, and things nearly broke out into fistfights, what with the Loyola team not understanding the tie-breaker's rules that were being held, and when at last a tie-breaker was held that was acceptable to all parties was held, the Sairam fellow won it, and we had a clear winner, with the Loyola team leaving in a huff. Earlier Visu and I had lost in the finals of the networking challenge, and while I was in the quiz finals with Sunil, he and Vinod lost the debugging. They managed to salvage a third place in the web-designing, for which they received 300Rs worth gift voucher giving you treatment at some beauty salon, and no certificate.
And so we screamed back into Tambaram and gate-crashed into Krishna's home and bugged him till it was pretty late, and then we all went home.
Yours catastrophically,

I conducted a quiz!!
17 teams had registered, out of which only 5 turned up. Our college showed its brilliance by sending two classes to an IV on the day of an intra college cultural. Meanwhile we received news that each event should definitely have 6 finalists. We were at a loss as to what to do. We tried going and calling those buggers from their respective classes, but the guys had all common sense and had stayed at home, while an all girls team claimed to be working for the symposium, while all they were doing was staring at the windows desktop.
So, ultimately we ended up calling a few of them furtive second years who'd cut class and were roaming around, gave them answer sheets, and started off with the damn prelims thing. I think I set it a little too easy, having underestimated my college.
We selected six of them buggers and conducted the finals. Raja Deepak and Navneeth and Rafi were among the finalists. Finals went well, except for that part were we forgot to call the staff incharge to the event, and actually called him only halfway through. Luckily he happens to be a really nice and easy going person, and he didnt hold anything against us. This man is an example of a really educated person...
The Mech guys came first, IT second, Raja and Co. third.
A few people said the quiz was good with a grimace. Most others averted their faces.
Not bad for the first time eh?
Credit for my quiz must be given to Krishna, Vinod, Visu, Hari, Harish, Sriram, Seshu, Mahesh, and Vijay, from whose quizzes I stole questions. Well, ordinary artists copy, great artists steal.
Credit must also be given to Prashanth, who was invaluable in his support he rendered to me. We both sat and finished off the quiz without even meeting up once. Hail internet! Sathish also deserves mention for being my faithful powerpoint operator.
May the Force be with you.

Next Stop!!
The Busman's Lord's Prayer, allegedly recited by British bus drivers:
Our Farnham, who art in Hendon
Harrow be Thy name.
Thy Kingston come; thy Wimbledon,
In Erith as it is in Hendon.
Give us this day our daily Brent
And forgive us our Westminster
As we forgive those who Westminster against us.
And lead us not into Thames Ditton
But deliver us from Yeovil.
For Thine is the Kingston, the Purley and the Crawley,
For Esher and Esher.

Is that only me?
I was watching this film called Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and I felt that one of the characters looked remarkably alike a very popular actor. Wonder whether it was only me or can everyone see it? Of course, a lot depends on hairstyle, facial hair frame etc, and could be coincidental, but yet one can't help but wonder if it wasn't an inspiration. The pictures I have put up here are those screenshots that especially caught my fancy. Oh uploading the images was in itself painstaking. I havent bothered with the alignment or the looks or whatever too much.
At last I have updated my blog. Cool. Back to hibernation.

Second Life
Well, it didn't grab my attention, as I have never felt these games to be of any worth whatsoever. However, I read somewhere else that one could watch online Wimbledon, and that grabbed my attention. Of course there are other places where one can watch Wimbledon, but on a sudden whim I went and signed up. It asked me to download and install a 30 MB file, which I did, configure my avatar, which too I did, and something of this and something of that, accepted the terms and conditions without giving it a second glance, and clicked on "Yes", "OK", "I Accept", and anything that sounded positive and uplifting, and hey presto, I was standing on the orientation island.
They had all super-boring tutorials such as how to walk, run, click, strip, and heaven knows what. I went into one of the tutorial areas at random and was walking around, when suddenly a girl appeared out of nowhere and asked me how to fly, and I spent a happy few minutes putting the proverbial groundnut. She became my friend and later disappeared. After similarly chatting with another person, I became bored and logged off.
I only remembered later that night that my original motivation for joining up was to try and watch Wimbledon. So, next day I found a link to Wimbledon's live streaming second life link, and clicked on it (IBM has sponsored this). It teleported me to the place. Unfortunately, they needed a 786 kbps connection for that, and had to disable the feature. So, I ended watching a live simulation of some Anna Kournikova match from the centre of the court, hanging on to the nets, and watched the virtual ball whizz past my virtual ears with no relish at all.
Today I also saw a reference being made to Second Life as part of a BBC program that talked about the happiness quotient of people. The host set up the usual argument of whether the internet would bring people together on a happy foundation, or would lead people apart from any form of social relations and left it at that, as usual.
So, if you want to play, then play. But I assure you, its downright boring, and horribly slow (256 kbps being the minimum internet configuration needed to play second life), and not worth the effort. But who knows, maybe the mature sections might be better, have yet to try that out.
Wikipedia says this about Second Life. People have also parodied the whole thing at www.getafirstlife.com.
What was that again?
A: You get woolmer.
My brother came up with this recently, and we are all still retching.

And this is my Friend Bragey
Bragey uploaded his photo to the site and sent it to me.
Sean Connery, Zidane, Michael Owen? My God!
I dont know why this bugger's off to pursue his post graduation at Cornell when he should have been running around with Bond girls in bikinis or eloped with a spice girl or something...
The site is www.myheritage.com. Have fun.
At Last
At Last, I found a photo of myself that the site did not have qualms about. However, are the people around my face even celebrities? Never heard of them. Oh this is so very depressing.
Well, I found this site called myheritage.com with which one can upload a photo of oneself and find out which celebrities he most looks like. I uploaded a few of mine, but was rebuffed with an embarassing "Face not found" error message. So, I uploaded this fellow's, and here goes.

The Wumpus is Dead!
The Wumpus is now dead. He expired at around 10 A.M today in his residence of natural causes after he was attacked by an Artificially Intelligent agent that shot at him after it smelled a "Stench" when prowling around his house in search for gold (Please note that to be killed by an agent is natural in the realm of the Wumpuses). The Wumpsor residence was picketed by a mad rush of artificially intelligent agents shortly after news of his death was confirmed, all of which trying to see if they could execute a "Grab" action to make some easy money (After all AI agents are designed by humans). He is survived by his wife, Mrs Wumpus, and their two sons, Wumpus Jr. and Wumpy. Mr. Wumpy is slated to become the next Wumpus-in-Chief, and will be coronated later this week. Wumpus Jr. was passed over since he lacked the pre-requisite qualification of having hairy fore-arms. (Other non-family contenders included Vijay T.R.Rajendherr and Raja Deepak). This is the biggest tragedy to strike the Wumpus family since the Wumpus was kidnapped by a wrongly programmed AI agent in 1968 after it falsely executed a "Grab" action after it smelled a "Stench", and the killing of Princess Wumpianna, wife of Wumpus Jr., in 1997, after she was chased by a group of erratic AI agents into a pit.

Gargle Announces New Software
Super-Large multinational company Gargle announced a new product called a Peephole Optimizer for home use by the general public. It is a new visual aid for the nosy-neighbour impaired people of the world. Fundamentally it is a hole in the door that allows one to look at people standing outside the door, trying to gain access into your home (or into the door opposite your apartment). Gargle has announced that the basic version will be free, but users will have to pay for the premium, silver, and gold editions. Premium versions come with a glass viewfinder to prevent pranksters from poking your eye when you're lookin through it. The silver edition comes with a bifocal lens to help the elderly, while the gold edition is going to have a cross-hair in case you want help in shooting the person standing outside your door.

Riot in Engineering Colleges
Riots broke out in many engineering colleges after students were asked to name any six context free questions in an exam. People felt this was a serious violation of the right to free speech, the right to vote, and the right to play heavy metal in loud volumes to coincide with Kolangal on Sun TV. As a mark of "rebellion", many students purposely took up a disobediance movement, and were found deliberately violating several college rules. Some of the rebels indulged in "anti-social" activities such as talking to members of the opposite sex, talking to first year students, and turning up to college in Jeans pants. One agitator was found to be peeping over the barricade between the men's and women's sections of the auditorium, thereby causing the wildest yet disturbance in the movment. College authorities are as yet unable to control the movement as they are in deep discussions about a completely different issue, where they are trying to reach a consensus on the right pay-rise to give to a member of the teaching staff who gave a first year student a love letter.

New MMS Scandal
A new MMS scandal broke out when an Indian student took photos of people doing things, unaware they were being filmed, and posted them on video streaming websites like youtube and metacafe and gave them an 18+ rating. All major news channels extensively covered this scandal by playing them on TV over and over again without an 18+ rating. The outrage was further exacerbated by the fact that the student had performed modifications to the video such as morphing, three dimensional translation, rotation, and decreased the contrast, thereby making nothing visible anyway.

Thomas Bayes Killed
Thomas Bayes, a 19th century non-conformist English clergyman met a gruesome death after he was swallowed and then regurgitated in disgust by a giant Cubic Spline. Doctors kept his dead body in the ICU for six hours debating whether to issue a statement saying he was strangled, or to issue a statement saying he was poisoned. Finally they couldn't hack the stench anymore and released the body to the bereaved in a large floppy parcel under the condition that they were not to open the package under any circumstances. A fall-out among his sons has been reported. Apparently they broke into a fight over who would inherit his laptop.
Monday, May 30.
Large departmental store Mal-Wart performed an analysis of all the transactions recorded in their databases using their new data mining system and came up with a few associations that ranged from being trivial (People who buy a computer mouse are likely to buy a mouse pad), to important (People who have money are likely to buy objects), to interesting (Men who buy diapers are most likely to buy beer), to the down-right weird (Men who do not buy condoms are most likely to end up buying permbulators). Of course their brand new system was not used for much as an unintimated power cut occurred that crashed the system which was not brought online for the rest of the day despite the best efforts of their computer engineers. Latest reports suggest they were now trying advanced heuristic techniques to get their system back online such as kicking the processor with leather boots and kneeling and praying.

Man proposes, God indisposes.
Last month, I was reciting a few bits of gossip to a friend of mine, when he stopped me and said, "What did you just say?" I realized I had inadvertently used wrong college-jargon to completely offset the meaning of my conversation. That's when I realized this, and told Marc about it. He said he'd already posted on that long ago, on his old blog.
My first experiences with warped meanings of the word propose came during the time I was "ragged" in my first year. I was asked to "propose" to a girl of my choice. I was taken aback. Talking to or flirting with would have been a feasible task, but proposing marriage(as I understood it then) was too much to be doing the first time I was talking to a girl. I refused, and my seniors called me "mokkai". That was the first time I'd heard of that word either, and was wondering how humans could be mokkai, because only pencils had such tendencies. I said that aloud too, to be further called "mokkai", which was further confusing. In class the next morning, a friend of mine said he'd been taken in by a girl and was wondering whether he should propose to her. Now I was scared bad. Was this college run by nutters?(Yes it is) Was this college full of nutters?(Yes it is) I mean who in their right minds would propose marriage to a girl the first time they ever met her?
A few days later, a classmate was again wondering about proposing to girls. By now, however, I had it figured out. "Proposed" in this language roughly means to "ask someone out". Really gave me a harrowing time. I cautiously refrained from using the same term, but would always be granted with blank looks whenever I suggested someone ask someone else out. Rather than use wrong terminology, I decided to refrain talking about the whole mish-mash of proposing and putting mokkai. But college being what it is, we have a lot of free time on our hands. Lecturers come and go, periods come and go, lunch-hours come and go, days and weeks and months and whole semesters come and go without anything actually happening, leaving the brain devoid of anything to do. It is at dangerous moments like this that the brain desperately wants to see some action, and the only source of relief from boredom in the vicinity seems to be a bunch of classmates sitting around discussing potential girlfriends. The rest, is history, albeit history you wish hadn't happened.
Now after all that, I was recently telling another friend of mine about how I'd heard a rumour of a girl running away with a boy, or a professor, or something like that, when my friend stopped me and said, "What did you just say? How does proposing come in here?" That's when I realized my mistake of too much gossip-mongering with people who always talk about proposing to people. I explained the meaning behind the jargon and continued with the tale, but resolved two things.
1. Never to use propose in the wrong sense.
2. To bring my blog out of hibernation with a post about proposing.
Marc proposed to post on me proposing to post on propositional logic in my blog here.
To hear people expounding on the art of proposing to people(preferrably members of the opposite sex), ask contact this person.
Proposedly yours,
Sundararajan. S

Trick or treat.
Everyone except Praveen had starved themselves like hell and were ravenous as wolves. Praveen had made the huge blunder of stuffing himself with chicken at home and was pretty annoyed about it. Prashanth and Arun ordered something and started eating. Raja started off with his favourites, but later was found digging into adjacent plates. Naveen took a long time in deciding a type of food that didnt contain any of the substances he suppossedly was forbidden from eating. I of course pointed at the menu at random, as I was nonplussed as usual with all these chat items on offer, and ended up eating kachoris of some sort. We were making fools of ourselves in general, when along came Arun's uncle. Arun, breaking the conventional tradition of freezing on the spot when one spots one's relative while in the process of dipping one's hands into curd and squeezing them all over Raja's hair, went straight up to him, shook hands, curd and all, and embarked on a long discussion on the mileage his bike was giving. Then he went off to pat, hug, kiss and do God-knows-what with his uncle's dog. When he returned, his hands were quite clean I noticed.
Next, we set off to some place called "Fruitshop on Greams Road". This turned out to be a posh juice shop. I have never been to such places before, and was quite amazed by the number of people willing to pay exhorbitant amounts to have a glass of tasteless liquid. Well, I prefer Surya Cool Drinks, a shop a couple of streets away from my place where you could treat seven people comfortably with the amount you were expected to tip at this Greams road place. Anyway, we had come in, and sat around a corner table with much difficulty and dragging of chairs from adjacent tables. An oriental looking couple were dating in the corner and I had a tough time taking my eyes off the girl. So did Arun. So did Prashanth. So did Naveen. So did Navneeth. So did Praveen. So did not Raja. He was too obssessed with his drink to have noticed. He however looked in the general direction a couple of times, but I distinctly got the feeling he was looking at the guy. Of course there might be a perfectly logical explaination for that. Only it seems to have escaped my mind.
The next place we went off to was the beach. Arun managed to get one of Raja's sandals off his feet, and we spent a few minutes playing football with it, the only obstacle to our enjoyment being Raja himself, what with his chasing the ball everywhere and picking it up. We walked down to the water, when suddenly everyone started lifting each other up and posing for the photos. I managed to make myself scarce. Raja managed to lift Arun and posed for the camera. Problem was, Naveen was fumbling around with his camera and Raja couldnt take the strain any longer and let him down. Thus we ended up having no photos of a truely amazing spectacle. Arun picked Praveen up from the ground with ease, posed long enough while Naveen searched for the button and snapped a picture, and promptly dropped him three feet to the ground with a dull thud. Praveen spent the rest of the evening limping around cursing at every female in sight.
We spent some time checking out the girl in blue and the girl with the cute hairstyle when Raja said he wanted to have some Bajjis. So we had some bajjis, confused the vendor with our warped mathematics, paid in 100 Rupee notes, that had him cursing, and came out to Navneeth's house with night having long fallen. There we sang a happy birthday for Aparna, Navneeth's love interest so loudly that his parents came out to see what had happened and asked Navneeth who Aparna was. And so we left Navneeth fuming and dropped Raja back at his home. Naveen and Prashanth said bye and took off full speed homeward bound. Arun, Praveen and I went to the Reliance Grocery store, where Arun and Praveen extended their support to Team India's cause at the world cup by buying an India T-Shirt each. Needless to say, the next day Sri Lanka thrashed India by around a hundred runs a couple of days later.
Arun dropped me off at Thiruvanmiyur and zoomed away. I arrived home at 10 in the night feeling exhausted. I had missed a quiz Mahesh was going to host informally at Krishna's house.

Life's Boring!
Every symposium that I have attended has had the following characteristics:
1. Registration, which is completely unnecessary.
2. Distribution of folders, which is completely unnecessary.
3. Girl students turning up in saris, which is completely unnecessary.
4. Stone Cold Steve Austin's music played during inauguration, which is completely unnecessary.
This semester so far, I have participated in many symposiums conducted at many places, including
I have had many bad experiences in these symposia. I started off wanting to write about these bad experiences, but I am not in the mood just now. What I am driving at here is that I have resolved not to participate in any symposia anymore. By the way, Vinod got his college the rolling shield at
Well, symposia would be a lot better if they would just avoid doing all the four points I have mentioned above. Of course, Point 3 is exempted in certain cases, but that depends on a lot of factors.
Oh yes, Hexaware and Infosys conducted competitions too. They gave the winners employment at their sweatshops. I was selected by Infosys. It was a piece of cake really. The HR manager didn't even ask me for my resume!
Well, that is that. For more detailed round-ups, call me. Yours Symposially,

The German carmaker's top boss in the US has stepped down almost six months after the firm became embroiled in an emissions cheating scandal. Michael Horn said he was leaving Volkswagen to "pursue other opportunities."
Volkswagen announced on Wednesday that Horn would leave "effective immediately" by mutual agreement with the company.
"I want personally to say 'thank you' to Michael Horn for the great work he has done for the brand and with the dealers in the United States," said Herbert Diess, chief executive of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand, in a company statement.
Horn became CEO of the Volkswagen Group of America in January 2014. He was in charge last September when the US Environmental Protection Agency issued a public notice of violation of the Clean Air Act to VW. The firm was accused of installing defeat devices and software in at least 11 million vehicles worldwide, many in the United States.
Horn himself made the headlines, saying - while at a car launch event - that the company had "totally screwed up."
The company's statement announcing Horn's resignation said merely that the 54-year-old was leaving "to pursue other opportunities." The firm faces major litigation in the United States, with the strong possibility that it will have to pay billions of dollars in penalties.
Horn was sent to apologize to consumers at a congressional hearing in October, when he told lawmakers that top executives had no knowledge of the cheating software.
"To my understanding this was not a corporate decision, this was something individuals did," Horn said, adding that he felt personally deceived.
In its statement, VW said the group's North American regional head, Hinrich J. Woebcken, would be taking over at the helm on an interim basis.
Volkswagen's US chief Michael Horn doesn't believe his bosses in Germany orchestrated the emissions scandal. The US Congress isn't buying that explanation and is demanding massive compensation for dealers and customers. (08.10.2015)
At Volkswagen's third employee meeting since the dieselgate scandal broke, the head of the company's works council has admonished US regulators not to punish the automaker too severely lest even more jobs be put at risk. (08.03.2016)

Fool For You (Made for Love, #4)
NOOK Book(eBook)
Available on Compatible NOOK Devices and the free NOOK Apps.
Judah St. Michaels is a man who seeks pleasure, not love. Never love. By rule, satisfaction is guaranteed while in his bed—yet, his women are always dismissed still begging for more. His frequent flyers are few, but variety breeds a challenge on which he thrives, and loneliness is not a burden he shoulders. But when he happens upon an exquisite, little redhead—whose shy demeanor he'd like to shatter in one night of passion—her reluctance to accept his offer changes his game completely.
Teddy Fitzpatrick doesn't trust easily. The scars that define her cut deep, and love is a dream she's afraid to chase. When a tall, dark, and gorgeous man enters her world, she knows right away that he's the type to break hearts. Yet, try as she might, his persistence is hard to ignore, and her ability to resist soon dwindles down to nothing. Against her better judgment, she opens her heart, surrendering to the dominate force that he is.
But happily-ever-afters are not easy to come by, for assholes aren't born, they're made... And falling in love is a fool's errand.
*Series STANDALONE. Written for audiences 18+ years of age, due to language and sexual content.

I did start this book knowing that it was part of a series but it didnt really have the much effect on this book. It could be read as a stand alone but you wont have the full history of some of the characters that are in it. With that out of the way, I just want to say that I really liked this book! I love a book that can give me a character that i want to reach through the pages and just knock the sh** out of them. I will be getting the other books so that I will be up to date when 4.5 or 5 comes out.

This week I made this fully mechanical toilet paper dispenser. I set the goal for myself to make a toilet paper dispenser that could dispense and cut two sheets of toiletpaper fully mechanical. After a couple of concepts I decided on the large handle with the ratchet mechanism to dispense the toilet paper and cut it.
I like to set goals like this for myself because it challenges me to think further than the most common options. At the same time it also makes it harder but that's part of the fun I guess..
There are a lot of different solutions to tackle the problem of automatic toilet paper dispensing but narrowing it down to fully mechanical gave some challenges.
The first challenge to tackle was dispensing the two sheets, I decided on a large handle for this but I also wanted to minimise the stroke you'd have to make. This turned out to be about 90 degrees. The second challenge I faced was to keep the rolls steady when moving the handle back. I solved this by using the ratchet mechanism that allows the handle to move the paper in one direction and keep the rolls steady when moving the handle back.
Then the last challenge was to cut the paper: By placing the paper dispensing rolls on a movable arm I could use the large lever to pull them up when the handle is in the top position. When doing that the paper gripper holds the bottom part of the paper and it gets ripped in two.
Check out the video if you haven't seen it yet and let me know what you think!

Relation of Moral Evil to Freedom, and its Remedy.
1.—It is implied in the fact of forgiveness, to which reference was made at the close of the last chapter, in connection with the forgiving and loving principles involved in the mystery of the Cross, that there is something which needs to be forgiven; in other words, that man has gone astray and sinned. This fact brings up the inquiry, upon which there has been from time to time so much discussion, of the origin of moral evil. The view of the Absolute Religion, which is also the doctrine of the Scriptures when properly interpreted and understood, is that moral evil in its various forms and degrees is necessarily incidental to the facts which are involved in the constitution of man's nature. In other words, the liability to sin is a necessary result of the great faculties and capabilities, which are man's inheritance.
2.—It is the Scriptural statement that man was created in the "image of God." A statement which is entitled on grounds of observation and reason to be accepted in its essential meaning, although it requires to be modified in its import by the consideration that man is finite and the Creator infinite. But with this modification kept in view, which implies that the likeness in the creation exists in the outlines and essential nature of being, rather than in the amount or degree of being, it still remains, that man was created in the divine image, in the first place, perceptively; in other words, in the possession of those powers which are employed in the acquisition of knowledge. And if the limitation, to which we have referred, excludes the attribute of omniscience, it accepts both the possibility and the fact of such a degree of knowledge as is appropriate to a finite being. Secondly, man was created in the image of God sentimentively; that is to say, he was created with that distinct and more interior department of our mental nature which is sometimes appropriately expressed by the term sensibilities; and which, in being the sphere of the sentiments, originates feeling in its various forms of emotions, desires and feelings of obligation, in distinction from mere perceptive acts. And thirdly, he was created with the power or faculty of the will; that great and controlling department of the mind, where we are to look for the foundations, or at least the necessary conditions, of personality and accountability. In all these important respects there can be no hesitation in saying that man was created in the image of God. And as a resultant of these attributes of being, and as a necessary fulfillment of the statement that he was born in the divine image, he was created self-centered; a being not only endued with living power, but created in the possession of absolute moral freedom within the sphere of his personal existence and activity.
3.—So that if we rightly conceive of the principles of his birth, man was created a child of God, with a reality of freedom and of personal responsibility in his own finite sphere, analogous to that of God himself in his infinite sphere. The attribute of volitional and moral freedom, with that practical self-reliance which grows out of it, makes the self-centred position complete. So that man, being what he is and created as he is, is necessarily born a self-hood; and that self-hood, claiming on the ground of moral freedom a likeness and relationship with the self-hood of God, is not more a necessary condition or form of his life, than it is the foundation of his greatness and glory. And accordingly, though as man he is an out-birth from God and is necessarily inferior to God, he stands within his own sphere of life, and in virtue of the psychical and moral gifts which have been imparted to him, essentially a deific being; and is truly and emphatically born in the image of God and made a son of God. And that which, more than anything else, although none of his other mental attributes could be dispensed with, gives him this high place, and that which establishes him as one born in the image of God, and makes him a true child of God, is his inviolable freedom.
4.—In being an out-birth from the Infinite, man is not on that account infinite himself, but on the contrary is characterized, and necessarily so, by finiteness. An infinite out-birth, if it could be a thing conceivable, would be essentially a contradiction in terms. A creation or out-birth, which could be characterized as infinite, would not be an out-birth, but an identity. So that man, in the primal principles and facts of his creation, is born as he is and was, because he could not be born otherwise; made in the image of God, and therefore in an important sense deific, but not infinite. But here comes an incident of his history which is worthy of notice. The law and the facts of his being are such, that while they constitute the necessity and the glory of his existence, they draw the lines of separation, and place him, in the first instance, not only in the isolation of self-hood, but for a time at least in practical antagonism with everything else. He stands up in the conscious greatness of his individualism, which is only another name for his self-hood; and in the power and in the just pride of self-affirmation, his first utterance is necessarily an interrogation of the universe. He says, I am a man; let no one touch me; let no one violate the sphere of my activity; let no one attempt to control me. That proud voice which in affirming itself and ascertaining its own position, interrogates and warns all others, sounds through all heights and all depths, and proclaims the birth of a deific son. God himself stands aside, as it were, in deep reverence and love of his own mighty work; and will not, and in fact cannot, without a self-contradiction, act adversely in the violation, in any degree whatever, of that divine attribute of freedom which He has given never to be recalled.
5.—But, although God had given man freedom, there was another thing which he did not and could not give. He did not and could not give him the right to violate the position and the rights of any other being which exists, whether great or small. All beings have their position and rights as distinctly marked and as clearly inviolable as are those of man so that, although man was born into the position of self-hood with all its possibilities and responsibilities, yet the great law of the universe, which God himself could not abrogate or alter, requires him to exercise that self-hood in all its tendencies and acts, in harmony with the rights and the highest good of all others. The soul in its self-hood, with the freedom and power of its self-hood, and yet without the knowledge which might enable it to act in harmony with the rights and claims of all other beings, is the soul in its first birth; the soul, in the language sometimes employed by theologians, in its Adamic life. And it is here, in this position of the soul, great and wonderful as it is, that we find the possibility and the practical beginnings of moral evil. It acts, because it has the freedom and the power to act; and is determined to act, because it is justly in love with its freedom and power; but in its blindness it is constantly doing wrong, because in breaking the law to which even freedom is bound to submit, it violates the harmonies of the universe. But all these sins and errors, originating in blindness of mind, are forgiven and blotted out in the principles and experiences of the Cross, as we have already explained them. And the soul, prepared by what it has passed through and impressed with a new and deeper sense of the divine wisdom, is born into that higher and better position which is not inappropriately called the second birth.
6.—We can perhaps illustrate these views and make them clearer by calling to mind that the state of things which we have just now described, is essentially, and almost precisely, what we daily see in little children. Their freedom, without which in their sad stupidity, they would be but little better than mere blocks of stone or wood, sparkles in their eyes, sounds in their voice, and is a living activity in their hands and feet. And this very freedom, without which they would cease to be true children, constitutes the parents' highest joy. The parents look upon the exuberance of their bliss in their runnings to and fro, and in their thousand experimental activities, with an ecstasy of pleasure; regarding it as the presage of the reality and the fruits of manhood and womanhood. And yet the first thing they do, is to place this incipient freedom, which is the seed of moral life and without which moral life is an impossibility, under law. They tell their children not to do this thing and not to do that thing; and the child, overrunning with gladness in the possession of his personality, seldom fails in some of the particulars which are placed under prohibition, to go contrary to the orders of the loving parents. And the consequence is, that they not only go astray, but they suffer for it; and there is no restoration for them and no happiness for them until they are willing to place themselves under parental direction, or what is the same thing, to place their wills under the wills of their parents.
7.—This analogous illustration helps us to understand man's position in relation to God. The child who disobeys suffers; and the human race in its disobedience to God suffers; but the love of the parent comes to the rescue of the child; and so the love of God, incarnated and manifested in Christ, comes to the rescue of the race; and in both cases promptly, sincerely, and so far as the possibilities of the case will allow, effectually. All that is wanting on the part of man is those dispositions, including the penitent recognition of his sin, which will secure obedience. The great law of the universe which requires a regard for the rights and happiness of all possible existences, is an imperative one. It is a law so clear that it needs no proof except what it carries in itself in the fact of its own intuitional affirmation. And yet it is a law which cannot by any possibility be obeyed, except in one way; namely, by placing the human will in the keeping of the Divine will. And this, it cannot well be doubted, was the interior meaning and object of the law of Paradise, namely, to adjust permanently the relation of the human and the Divine will in order to man's guidance and good.
8.—But the question may suggest itself here whether this is not a hard case for man; endowed as he is with freedom, and yet in the exercise of that freedom without which he would cease to be a man, doomed to errors which bring him into condemnation and suffering. It might perhaps be regarded so if this were the termination of his history, and if there were no escape from a position so unlooked for and so sad. But the Fall, as it is theologically expressed, or that series of events in which freedom in its early and irrepressible love of itself, took the position of disobedience to law and thus became rebellion, though a terrible evil in itself, is incidentally a gain in its results. And the reason of this is found in what has already been intimated in relation to the love and goodness of God. Man sins and suffers; but he is not deserted. "Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee." Great words, uttered by an ancient Prophet in the solitary mountains of Judea; but which belong to all lands and nations. And what then, having done all that he consistently could do by instruction or in other ways, to prevent the fall, shall he do now that the fall has become a reality? Revealing himself in the divine analogy of his works, he teaches us that He does just what the true earthly parent does; only in a higher degree and with unspeakably greater results. In the first place, so great is his love that he allows them to suffer, or perhaps better he cannot help their suffering, because sin and suffering necessarily go together. He lets them suffer so long as they remain in disobedience, because there is no other way. The ways of God are not accidents, but wisdoms; not the uncertainties and the variations of time, but the permanencies of eternity.
9.—It is possible that some will say here, if freedom is necessary to the realization and the constitution of their manhood, then the surrender of the will to God is practically giving up the great characteristic of humanity, and is in fact the withdrawal and the annihilation of the great essential element which makes man what he is. It was perhaps this fear in part, in man's incipient and Adamic condition, which led him into the disobedience of rejecting the divine command. But it was only a fear, and not a verity. God never proposed, and never can propose, without violence to the most glorious truths and sympathies of his nature, to violate man's freedom, or to destroy it, or injure it in any way or degree, under any circumstances or in any place; either in the incipient Adamic humanity or in the perfected Christ humanity; in heaven, earth, or hell; in time or in eternity. All that He proposes, and all that He asks, in view of the creative and sustaining relationships of his eternal Fatherhood, is, that He may be allowed to exercise his parental interest and care, by guiding or helping to guide man in those cases, (and this is true of all cases of voluntary action,) which, in consequence of their infinitely varied relations, are in many essential respects beyond the reach and judgment of a finite mind. Cases where, if he is not guided by a Mind that understands this infinity of remote facts and relations, his fall becomes a moral necessity. It is the surrender of the will under these circumstances and to this extent, which God demands in virtue of his paternal necessities; and its refusal on the part of man is, and must be his certain and necessary ruin. But such a surrender of the will as this, is not the destruction of the will, and is not the destruction of humanity; but on the contrary is the perfection of the will's action by harmonizing it with the truth, and is the human will harmonizing with the will of God in the divine marriage of a common thought and purpose; and instead of being the destruction, is the preservation and the perfection of humanity.
10.—The doctrine of the Fall then understood in its principles, stands before us not merely in the literal statements of the Scripture narrative, but as one of the great problems of philosophy, which the truth vindicates and accepts. And it may be accepted as a moral axiom, that whatever harmonizes with the truth will be found all for the best. It was best that man should be created as a self-centered existence or self-hood, with the freedom appropriate to it. It was best that he should demonstrate to himself and the universe, that he had a self-consciousness, a positive sphere of action, a personal responsibility, a divine freedom; and thereby vindicate his deific descent. It was best that God should leave him to the possibilities of the Fall, and that he should fall if in his freedom he chose to do so; not only for the reason which has been intimated, that he might be assured and all others might be assured of these great attributes of his nature; but that the love of God might be summoned to meet the exigency of his unhappy disobedience and overthrow. It was best that he should suffer the sorrows that are always born of sin, that in the greatness of his anguish he might cry out for help. It was best that the miseries which in the Fall flow out of the First Birth, should lead to the blood-bought inheritance of the Second Birth; that self-hood renouncing its personal and selfish limitations, should grow up into universal-hood; that an in-dwelling Adam should be exchanged for an indwelling Christ; and the Life that perishes for the Life that lives forever.
