Snake Video

and another with the comments of our nearly favorite Prof. Muthuramalingam.

Another Intruder!!!

What we could never do in ISI, this snake did, it enjoyed its food! Here are two videos guys, one with background(expert) comments of my favourite teacher Mr. GM, for whom everything was fundamental theorem of calculus(which I am realizing only now!).


PS: Another video in next post.

Unmaad

Unmaad is the IIM Bangalore cultural fest. Happens once a year and this year it was arguably the biggest in India. Its been happening over the last weekend. Started Friday morning and ended at around 5:00 on Monday morning. Kept me totally busy from start to finish. There were events all day, concerts every evening and parties every night from midnight to six AM.

I tried getting our juniors to come from ISI for the fest. Chand and Suranjan said they would but, as expected, neither turned up. There we're however a lot of other people there who were VERY interesting.

One thing I figured out is that people can be VERY dumb a lot of the time. Just listen to this. I'm talking to this one girl (really cute btw) and at the same time this other guy is trying to .... hit on her?? Here's what happened.

(In attempt to generally be like a host I try to include everyone in the conversation)
(this is all happening at around 4 AM on sunday morning)

Me : So what are you guys doing?

Really cute girl : I'm doing my final year in Mount Carmels

Dumb chap : I'm in my second year in St. Josephs
(he now realizes that this would make him younger than the girl so...)

Dumb chap : But it's not like that....I actually dropped a year. So while I'm academically younger than you, I'm not actually younger than you.
(he now realizes that this would kinda make him a dumb chap so...)

Dumb chap : You know I didn't fail a year or anything....
(at this point I start sniggering and I'm fairly certain she did too)

And this is just a random example. All weekend long people have been coming up to me and saying the most inane things. One girl even tried to kill me ( minor exaggeration : assault would have been more appropriate ) because she lost the dance competition and we didn't give her a participation certificate. Seriously.....what the hell is she going to do with a certificate claiming she participated in a competition thats free for ANYONE to participate. Hell....Mayank could have taken part in that competition and we all know how he dances. ( note : really cute girl won the dance competition )

I haven't slept in ages. Managed two hrs of sleep on friday and saturday nights. Zero on sunday. I went to class at 8:30 AM monday morning...Slept there so obviously that even I was ashamed. Apparently I had my knees up on the table, my head was tilted back and I was snoring. Some of my friends even say I was drooling but I'm going to pretend that didn't happen.

Thats about it from Bangalore....If you want to know about the other side of Bangalore call the Pamily and pind out. Of course, Bohemians is always there...

P.S : Oddly enough the name of the girl I mentioned is Natasha, just like my old laptop. I've also decided that my Apple is also a Natasha, it's a nice name...

P.P.S : Where is everyone....Only few people are posting. Monkey I'm sure doesn't know how to type yet but what about the rest?

पेह्चान कौन ?

दादा बन गया जेनटीलमैन :)

Good Ole Pix!

Somebody teach me some Statistics

My apartment building is densely filled up with beautiful girls. But, alas! The only way to impress them seems to be able to help them with their statistics assignments. If only I had paid more attention to it during B.Math days.

keeping up - lots of arbit

I've been kept rather busy over the last month or so. Havent looked at this blog in ages and haven't had the chance to look at the Bohemians either. I finally managed to get some free time today which explains the sudden post.

Oddly enough, I haven't been kept busy by studies the last couple of weeks. Last weekend IIM-K turned up and the weekend before that IIM-A, both for sports meets. I, being the IIM-B swimming champion and acting captain ( :-) ) had to stay with the other team ( and stay sober ) both weekends. Needless to say, I thrashed both teams and now both shoulders hurt like crazy.

During the meet with IIM-K, things got really hairy during the basketball game (i was scorekeeper not player) and I ended up in a fight with a guy from IIM-K. It was during this time that I first realized the impact ISI had on me. Not only could I understand the Hindi curses he was yelling, but I could give back several times worse than I got. What fun that was. Luckily when he raised his fists to punch me some of my friends got in the way. I learnt to curse but never quite got the hang of whacking people.

In other news, I'm almost set for my internship....I'm just getting a few details with work permit and stuff sorted out. The only parts that are certain is that the first week, starting April 6th and the last week, ending June 10th will both be in London. The in-between two months could be in either London or New York.

In addition to this, I get the option to go on foreign exchange during my 5th term. This is totally dependant on your rank in class and as mine is near the bottom I wont get any of the American or British Business schools. However, the entire plan is for me to get to France during the 5th term (Sep, Oct, Nov) as apparently I dont need to study at all there. I'm looking forward to meeting all our French ISI junta there. If all goes well, I should be able to meet everyone in our batch (minus Mota) over the next year. (chitru better spend some money and come visit me in New York)

The only other thing left are TH concerns...after working on it for three years, its very pissing off to have it go totally crazy with the disaster duo of ISI Bangalore at the helm. Lets see how it goes...

Other batch junta should also write in this....if i get any email id's then i'll add them also to the blog. Have fun...

Bitter Cold

Temperature is plunging through the night and tomorrow it's going to be -17 deg C in Chicago with 35mph wind. I am planning to stay in bed the whole day.
Here are some pics of snow.

I a m glad that I don't own a car.

This is a lake to be precise

A must see movie

Inspired by Lithium I am posting my first blog (achievement eh!) .

I saw this shocking movie called "Zeitgeist". It's rather a documentary which discusses religion, the American government and central bank. Apparently unrelated topics(or uncorrelated, as you like it) . I highly recommend it to all of you.

Here's a link, do spare some time to watch. It'll be worth.

Pic!

I was bored and was browsing. Found this and thought, maybe I should put it up :)
