Who Am I?

I have always wondered who am I.
I am Mario trying to save my Princess.
I am Wayne Rooney trying to shoot past the keeper in Be-A-Pro.
I am the manager of Valencia taking them to an undefeated season in FIFA.
I am Tony Hawks trying to do an ollie and get it into a manual.
I am Hitman trying to get rid of the targets assigned to me.
I am the Emperor of Russia trying to build a mighty army.
I am a programmer.
I am an engineer studying 5 straight hours from e-books.
In short,
I am someone who loves the virtual world.

Think about it. The virtual world almost - almost - gives you everything you want.
I get out of head aches by playing FIFA.
I learn history by playing Age Of Empires.
I learn not to make silly mistakes by playing Warrior Within.
I learnt to accept defeat when there was no other way.
And ya, it helps me get out this college life which sometimes can just get darn boring. The list can go on.

Do not mistake me. I like the real world too. But this just about nearly sums up everything I think.



Call me unrealistic. Call me simplistic. Call me whatever you want. But I believe given a few touches, the virtual world can almost - again only almost - replace my real world.

Give me a PS3, friends to join in FIFA and I can stay awake late nights (late nights as in 3am to 5am) having a lot of fun :)

Capital Problem

Well there I am in my Visual Programming lab doing my semester practicals. I write a simple program. One function call another function

myframe()
{
create(0,"hello");
}

And i get the error:
"create" variable not initialized.

I have no idea what this means. Basic programming skills tells you "create" is a function and not a variable here.

I spend an hour - a full 60 minutes - to find out what's wrong. Then I find the mistake.
Apparently in VC++, create() and CREATE() are the same. But Create() is not. An hour wasted because of a single letter. Darn.

Exam Superstitions

Everyone has their own superstitions during exam time. Three years in college and I think the superstitions of me and my friends have only become weirder. Here is what we do to ensure we write the exams well.

.) When I start studying, the time has to be a round-ed off number like 7,8,9 etc. Postpone the start till such a number it reached.

.) Same applies for the time I start to write exams. Sadly my sem exams start at 1:45. So I lose 15 min every exam.

.) A friend of my cousin needs to see the stray dog around their department before going to the hall.

.) A friend wears the same jean the next time if he did the previous exam well. Even if it is unwashed.

.) Sowmy needs to take his scientific calculator to all his exams. Even if it is only English.

.) Me and Sowmy have to drink water just before entering the hall.

.) Me and my friends have to go to the examination hall in the same path every day.

.) Added recently, me and Sowmy need to see a certain someone to do the exams well.

.) Added more recently, I shouldn't see a certain someone else to do the exams well.

.) My bag has to be kept near Sowmy's bag. Even if we are in different halls.

.) Finally, I always need to have more than one blue pen. Even if one doesn't write.

Mathematics

I finish my Maths exam early and look at all the calculations I have done so far in my Scientific Calculator (using the up arrow thing). Here are some.

7 * 3 = 21
16 - 4 = 12
12 * 2 = 24
23 - 7 = 16
2000 + 1000 = 3000
2000 / 2 = 1000
...
..
.


Moral : It's high time I started learning simple addition and subtraction. Again.

A Lazy Man's Lament

There once was this man living all quiet,
Yet no one knew his mind was like a riot,
Most people thought he was one lazy dude,
For his busy mind never did they intrude.

He never seemed to get anything done in time,
And his ambitions never seemed too high a climb;
No one noticed he did get all his work done,
For doing things at the last minute was fun.

His slow walk did they ever laugh at mockingly,
But all these things he never did take seriously;
In fact he never was serious when he should be,
For it let his alter ego be open for all to see.

His lack of interest in arguing, people do misread,
Didn't they know lazy ppl never like to argue or bleed;
He will keep safe what is given to him or he ll try,
And if it does get lost, he ll only say f it and move on.

He never understands why his lazyness upsets others,
Nor does he know why they look down at his lazyness;
Don't they know that being lazy is a real talent,
And the other word for being lazy is being efficient?

Random

Just a few random thoughts here..

If you are impulsive few times and lazy the other times, it leads to disastrous effects.

If something goes too well, it means you are going to face a whole new level of comedy soon.

Being an introvert denies you a few joy. And a lot of trouble.

Give something a lot of thought and you will f it up.

If you are good at something, there is always someone better at it.

Life is not a sin curve to have an up, a normal and a low. It is a tan curve with an all-time-high followed by an all-time-low to gradually high again.

Mates before muffs. Our mates know it, the other doesn't.

They say we must be like the phoenix which rises again from its ashes. They don't tell you that the phoenix is born again as a baby and has to struggle for a while before reaching its prime again.

What is life is but a dream :)

A confused mind is a disease. It soon makes the others confused too.

You can write a blog out of anything in your life :P

Everything ends. Except nothing.
