The First day with the Karmic-Koala

Image
I was very excited with the release with the long awaited Ubuntu 9.10.... Was constantly F5-ing the ubuntu home page and staring at the coming soon image since the midnight of 29th Oct ... But only it changed during the late afternoon that day... They should have mentioned the exact time of realease on the web-site. My patience was tested... but no probs ... I must thank Robin Sharma and Rhonda Byrne for they have really changed the impatient being. But even after the release the life was not easy... The college server refused to download huge files. Then I remembered something called port-forwarding that I had read few days back... Refreshed it and the trick was done! My hard-disk management was really bad and I had everything lying all around the disk and needed everything to be organized. So I preffered to go for a fresh install. Coup de grace for the Jackalope. (btw I loved Jaunty very much ... but change is the law of life). I created a USB-boot disk

Wanted .... Granted!!!

I have been a disliker of Salman Khan since his long... He was a hero for me during the days of Hum Aapke Hai Kaun, Pyar Kiya to Darna kya.... But after that he was added to my "See-Staring-Reject-Movie-List". On the very hard insistence of my friend who too was a anti-salman guy.... and who had already seen the movie once...but wanted to see it again... I thought lets give the poor guy a chance to prove that he is back... Guess what.. He is really back :) I cant believe that i am writing this (Being a Hard-core Salman hater)... The movie starts off with a full2 southie fight... where i thought how would i survive this crap...But slowing it begins to catch the grip...The movie goes on in the same direction.... The grip begins to fade and you feel 'ab tak interval kyon nahi aaya??'. Then after the interval things start to change. The movie takes a total turn. This is the part when you feel the movie to the fullest. The end is again good... People return with smiles on

Examination time...

Exam time for some is a tense part of the life. But I take it differently... why?? 'Coz its fun... The best thing that I like about this time is the emotion-curry that is formed in the mind! Lots of emotions tangled together like fear(of course), boredom(this too of course), the feeling that I could've done better if I began earlier, the determination for the next exam, future plans in life, the need to write down a fresh SWOT and everything imaginable ! One more thing that I observed is that the “Devil's Workshop” is most active during the time of the year! The grey cells have fun playing with everything and are the most naughty and out of control during this time. Rest of the time they may like to rest even if they are poked. Just like when pets play senslessly(but lovably) and whole-heartedly during the morning hours. They don't listen to your commands... they are engrossed in their own world... Strange! ;) The exams are from monday...

90 Days to go...

This morning i woke up early, because last night I was completely aware that it was ninety-one days to go....I had been waiting for this day since so long...I got fresh early, finished my breakfast and then took out my laptop, conneted it to the internet and waited eagerly until it was 8am... Seconds seemed like minutes, minutes seemed like hours... I waited really long... When there were only few minutes to 8... I opened the webpage of my interest and kept refreshing it continuously... Those who live far away form where they study must be getting where this is going... Yes, correct! It was the IRCTC website and I was eagerly waiting to book my e-ticket and get a confirmed ticket to home for Diwali... The date of the ticket was 14 th October, 2009. Exactly 90 days from today. At 8, the status which I saw was 166 available, some seconds of delay caused only 166 seats to be available. I quickly clicked on the Book ticked, quickly entered the name of six of
