The final T2..


T
2 or the second internals got over a few days back...Well for all those of you who are not very aware of BITS System, 4-1 sem for single degree ppl is a light sem, we have to do only electives( 6 electives over the 4 years of engineering). So most people complete most of thier electives as theory and practical courses by the end of 3rd year, and come into this year with only one or two electives left...

Well, I had also hoped to do so, but if you have EEE, you end up doing so many labs as part of the course that you don't feel like doing an extra theory course...and well with nearly 200 students of three years baying the 20-30 odd faculty in EEEnI department, well you can guess how easy it is to get a project and well I didn't want to do projects like "Working on XYZ software package" or something, so I ended up with 4 of my 6 electives still unfinished....

And all for the first time at BPGC, we were getting an M.E level course, and it seemed pretty important too, so I took that too, so I ended up with 3 theory and 1 project in my 4th year, and like some of my friends did'nt choose an easy subject from Humanities ( and just for info, next sem we have electives like "Shreemad Bhagwad Gita" and "Conflict Religion" and a couple on entrepreneurship @campus )...

well I ended up with Embedded System Design, Digital Signal Processing and Data Communication and Networks, electives that are tough to do one at a time..and here I am doing them at the same time…and bhai “WATT lageli hai…

.
.
Just pray I manage some decent GPA…

Top ten most irritating phrases

8 Nov 2008, 0059 hrs IST, ANI (Times of India)

There are some phrases and words that drive us literally mad. Now, researchers at Oxford University have compiled a list of top ten most irritating expressions.

The researchers monitor the use of phrases in a massive database called the Oxford University Corpus, made up of books, papers, magazines, broadcast, the net and other sources. This alerts them to new words and phrases to be included in the Oxford English Dictionary and can tell them which language fads are fizzling out.

"We grow tired of anything that is repeated too often - an anecdote, a joke, a mannerism - and the same seems to happen with some language,"- Jeremy Butterfield( author of the book Damp Squid).

The top ten most irritating phrases:

1 - At the end of the day

2 - Fairly unique

3 - I personally

4 - At this moment in time

5 - With all due respect

6 - Absolutely

7 - It's a nightmare

8 - Shouldn't of

9 - 24/7

10 - It's not rocket science
.
.
Well, somebody tell this to one of the most loved teacher @BPGC ;)

Anyways check out the original article at http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/3685307.cms

This article is courtesy Times of India...

Yeh naya ID kaunsa hai??

Being a part of team BITSAA, on campus at Goa, most of the earlier replies had this question "What is P3 and which branch in Pilani does it corrispond to to..."
and my replies used to be a detailed explaination of how the A group at Pilani was equivalent to P group here and so on...and after these I used to always think ki "yeh ID same rakh lete to BITS waalo ka kya jaata".

Well it seems someone has heard it, and now after 3.5 years in college we now have a new ID, corrisponding to the ones given in Pilani except that at the end it has a "P" for Pilani, "G" for Goa and "H" for Hyderabad...

My new id is 2005A3PS118G ....
.
.
But if you are thinking that BITS changed its ID system just to maintain a single structure, well thats just partially correct and our guess is that they were running out of alphabets with 5-6 of them used at Pilani, 4-5 at Goa and nearly an equal number at Hyderabad and Dubai...and at the rate at which BITS is opening new campuses, we would soon be out of alphabets :P

Anyways, might probably be going home for CAT, so wishing all of you the bestest of luck for CAT and IIFT exams..phodd dena...

Mom....

Read these lines in a newspaper, and realized it was so true....


You moved to another city
She understood
You were too busy to call everyday
She didn't mind
When she cried,she cried alone
When you cried, she cried with you
When you said 'Ma, this is important',
she prayed for you.



Thanks mom, Love you.

The Soldier...

Here is a very touching poem about a soldier and his thoughts...of how the country and the countrymen have forgotten his contribution to the country...(btw I haven't written this poem...)

"
How you play with us, did you ever see?
At Seven, I had decided what I wanted to be;
I would serve you to the end,
All these boundaries I would defend.
Now you make me look like a fool,
When at Seventeen and just out of school;
Went to the place where they made "men out of boys"
Lived a tough life …sacrificed a few joys…
In those days, I would see my 'civilian' friends,
Living a life with the fashion trends;
Enjoying their so called "College Days"
While I sweated and bled in the sun and haze…
But I never thought twice about what where or why
All I knew was when the time came,
I'd be ready to do or die.
At 21 and with my commission in hand,
Under the glory of the parade and the band,
I took the oath to protect you over land, air or sea,
And make the supreme sacrifice when the need came to be.
I stood there with a sense of recognition,
But on that day I never had the premonition, that when the time came to give me my due,
You'd just say," What is so great that you do?

"Long back you promised a well to do life;
And when I'm away, take care of my wife.
You came and saw the hardships I live through,
And I saw you make a note or two,
And I hoped you would realise the worth of me;
but now I know you'll never be able to see,
Because you only see the glorified life of mine,
Did you see the place where death looms all the time?
Did you meet the man standing guard in the snow?
The name of his newborn he does not know...
Did you meet the man whose father breathed his last?
While the sailor patrolled our seas so vast?

You still know I'll not be the one to raise my voice
I will stand tall and protect you in Punjab Himachal and Thois.
But that's just me you have in the sun and rain,
For now at Twenty Four, you make me think again;
About the decision I made,
Seven years back;
Should I have chosen another life, some other track?
Will I tell my son to follow my lead?
Will I tell my son, you'll get all that you need?
This is the country you will serve
This country will give you all that you deserve?

I heard you tell the world "India is shining"
I told my men, that's a reason for us to be smiling
This is the India you and I will defend!
But tell me how long will you be able to pretend?
You go on promise all that you may,
But it's the souls of your own men you betray.

Did you read how some of our eminent citizens
Write about me and ridicule my very existence?
I ask you to please come and see what I do,
Come and have a look at what I go through
Live my life just for a day
Maybe you'll have something else to say?
I will still risk my life without a sigh
To keep your flag flying high
but today I ask myself a question or two…

Oh India …. Why do I still serve you?
