You absolutely love certain movies.You abhor certain movies(i can distinctly remember a certain tamil blockbuster ).And in rare cases,you don't actually "get" movies.Delhi -6 was one such movie.I had this feeling that i knew our national language quite well.This feeling was quashed into pulp after the 3 hours of the movie.
Lemme sum up the movie..Myself ,sreeni,and sanju(an ardent hindi movie "buff"oon,his knowledge of bollywood can be compared to varun's knowledge of hollywood (Quoting.."Who the hell is this brad pitt"),decided to go for a movie(not withstanding our busy schedule of watching movies in the PC).sreeni knew "mera naam sreeni hain",myself "shukriya" and sanju..ah well sanju..yeah he was clueless.And with this limited knowledge of hindi words,we went for Delhi-6.We were excited at first(u know with the cast,and the RDB fame),by the end of the first half,enthralled by the music,the sets,but the movie had not yet "started".At the end of the second half,again enjoyed the music,but the movie had still not "started".So the three of us,pretended to enjoy the movie,had a real nice chat about how deeply the movie affected us,the great message of the movie,how moving it was...but this is what we really thought after the movie
Sreeni .."WOW,sanju and ullas really knows hindi,huh!!"
Ullas.."..hmmm..shukriya..hmmmm"
Sanju.."Abhishek had his glasses on for 1395 s,scratched his face 6 times..i am really good at statistics.."
Some salient features in the film:
Abhishek bachan definitely had conjunctivitis.How else could u explain the dark goggles morning,day and night?
Sonam kapoor looked ravishing,and was one of the main reasons behind the 3 of us not sleeping on our seats
Monkey man was the hero of the movie..
There were 7 news channels,and 85 reporters dedicated to monkey man
Monkey man rocks!!..
So all in all,we "enjoyed" the movie,but we dint really get the movie.The symbolism was over the top.Also how did an NRI man who could only speak in english at the beginning of the movie come up with lengthy monologues in flawless matching "shyari"s ,we are never going to find out!!..
PS: Hope to be a more regular blogger..Bear with me,if i do become a regular blogger

'Project'ing thoughts
Itz been long...With the tough schedule in class,and the highly "demanding" project schedule,i have been incredibly busy.By tough schedule in class,i mean the challenging sessions of cows and bulls,and the new hot game,hollywood(more popularly known as hangman).And by "demanding" project schedule,i mean more cows and bulls,more hollywood,and more trips..
This post is dedicated to my project team.Lemme begin by introducing the characters
THE GUIDE :
With 5 rooms spread across 15 km's ,a car,and a scooter,with responsibilities ranging from hostel warden to h.o.d,to college principal,he happens to be the busiest guy in a 100 km radius of kalamassery.Inspite of having 2 wagon r's in the team,we hardly catch him.But i have to add,the man knows his stuff,and really does give proper guidance when he is visible.
The Members:
Ryan Fernandez: He calls himself the statistical analyst and planner in the team.He has no idea what it means,neither do we.He has his life based on GMT(Greenwich Mean Time),sleeps like there is no tomorrow,too lazy to move from one bed to the other.
Varun V:We call him the communication head.With four sims in his purse,another in his bag,lots of free calls,and his general acceptance that he will die of brain tumour due to radiation waves,he makes all the calls to the guide.
Unni : The only responsible member in the team.He eggs on everyone else,but falls asleep himself.
Yours Truly: Blogs about the project,instead of doing it.
After a month of the project being allotted here are the reactions from my teammates
Unni :"Shouldn't we start preparing the abstract?"
Varun:"Did we get any project alloted?"
Ryan :"Am I in your project group?"
So with this lot of 4 extraordinarily lazy guys,how a project is going to be completed,god knows....Lets hope for the best

Days in the Wild...
It is but human,that we take so many things for granted.So when i was thrust into the responsibility of maintaining my apartment for a few days,with my parents outta town,i dint think much of it.But after the experience,i will have to drastically change that view.
So lemme give you a 12 point guideline in case such a situation happens to you.
#1 . Ensure that you have an extra toothpaste tube.Squeezing the tube is infinitely easier than expending your entire body weight into the tube without any effect resulting in drastic measures like cutting the tube with a kitchen knife and scraping the paste out.
#2. Remember,one can survive on a strict diet of bread,jam,sauce and water.To add variety to your meals,use different permutations of the 4 items.Use jam and sauce in moderation,or u may need a second meal sooner than you think.
#3 If an adventurous spirit hits you,and you get the inspiration to cook,calm down.Let the feeling pass..If you still want to continue,remember your last cooking experiment,the excruciating pain in your stomach,the hospital,your dead pet,and the fire in the kitchen.If you are still intent,may god be with you.
#4 Find the kitchen in your house.Once inside the place,survey the various strange looking instruments,and hopefully if good sense prevails,you will be back watching TV in no time.
#5 Once you decide to cook,ensure that you NEVER try your cooking experiments on yourself.God provides us with neighbours,especially the troublesome ones for precisely this purpose.Present your "cooked" food to your neighbour("oh such a sweet boy,we should invite him for dinner" (u have your treat)),If he does not come back to invite you,pray for his health..
#6 During multitasking in the kitchen,remember that the time required for boiling milk may not match exactly with time for tv commercials.
#7 If in the mess called your room,you need to find something invaluable (eg..the TV remote),
do not search for it.You know that you are never gonna find it.You can hence avoid a lot of frustration.So believe in the power of fate.If it is meant to be,it will be found.
#8 Improvise,Adapt.If u overboiled the rice,add sugar and present the "pudding" to ur neighbours.I
#9 When the kitchen starts reeking of bad smell,and u notice a pile of unwashed utensils because of ur "cooking",and u notice insect colonies being formed,do NOT panic.Time for desperate action.Bolt the kitchen door tight,and if the smell still seeps through,spray AXE near the door.Isolate the kitchen from the habitable parts of ur house.Remember,when civilization comes back,(to be read as mom),sanctity will be restored.It is just the matter of surviving a few days.
#10 Possibly you will notice that the other rooms become inhabitable day by day so repeat the process of isolating the habitable parts from the smelly parts,and you will finally be trapped in your living room with your best friend,your TV
#11 Use this alone time to think about your life,think about the universe.Relive your memories.
and when the power comes back go back to watching TV.
#12 After surviving in the wild,and when civilized people come back home( i mean the 4 locked doors with an empty bottle of AXE),do not stay around too much for them to survey the disaster.Let them vent their fury on the utensils,and the rooms.

Engineering:Redefined
I am back....(i can hear people sighing..i can see my orkut friends grumbling,my gmail contacts swearing,"DAMN it,hez back)."Two months of peace,and the guy comes back to force comments and feedback".I can hear the blogosphere bells ringing(What!!..).To all my gmail contacts ,my orkut friends,this time i won't beg and plead for comments,through online messages.
I have turned over a new leaf.I am going in for a new sms service that updates all my friends when i blog,i eat,sleep..."ullas samachar".
The fact that i have 2-3 numbers for each person makes the task difficult though..So what do i blog about.So why the long gap in blogging.I was procrastinating(My word of the day..).In simple terms,i was too damn lazy...So what do i blog about.?I have covered sports,made a feeble attempt to do a rajdeep sardesai,and review current affairs(which resulted in rotten tomatoes,and eggs thrown at me online..),used humour as a mechanism to show the world how "cool" i am.Typed in crap that people saw,and for the first time realized that they were not that weird.Typed in crap to show people that i am weird,because weird people are supposed to be cool,and everyone wants to be cool.Read my posts ,laughed because it was so NOT funny,that "that" made me laugh..
So what will i blog about.And then the realization hit me.I pondered and pondered(my second word of the day),put two and two together.I was seven eighth of an engineer(why ,ullas,why do u need to use fractions!!),and pretty bad one at that.I am basically sarcastic.so putting one and three together,i have been enlightened.All i got to do is to write about what some engineering terms really mean to me,(and by "me",i mean the vast majority of this growing species).So after almost 4 years of intense research,these are my conclusions.
THE DRAFTER
Carpenters have tools,Celebrities have fake boobs,Pratibha Patil has her foreign tours,and we have our Drafters.One of the most interesting tools in the engineering kit.Most of us are not aware of itz use,however.Some carry it around like a mace(drafter on shoulder routine),some carry it around like a machine gun.Me,i make firing sounds,and use it to "kill" my imaginary villians.Pkshah..Pkshah..(the weird sound..water in my gun)...crack...(R.I.P,Dear Drafter)
THE COLLEGE ID CARD
Thanks to some "amazing" friends of mine,i haven't seen this thing after first year.They say that students are supposed to carry it around.They even make ridiculous claims that the card is compulsory.For my part,i will never lay eyes upon it ever again(thanks to my wonderful friends),and the only proof that i am a student will be my sleepy eyes,my torn bag,and the prison grey shirt,with inscriptions of various kinds (again thanks to my friends).
THE INTERNALS
It is the time of the sem when you realize the number of subjects you have,get to know the full forms of the subjects(try to,atleast),search your entire house for your library card(only to realize that library cards do not grow out of trees,and that you gotta apply for them).And the day before the exam,you realize that the text you bought for 400 rupees contains just the introduction,and then you run around hostels,wait in queues at the photostat shops,and finally when you collect the entire material in a 100 seperate scraps of sheets,you are too tired,and realize that you should have studied the introduction.So on the D-day,morning,you absorb in few words remotely related to the subject,write sheets and sheets of crap with the mention of the aforesaid words in BOLD CAPITALS,emphasising its importance,also caring to write the remaining words in a highly illegible manner(which comes naturally to me,btw).This time is also gala time for the photostat shops (which compress large textbooks into tiny portable pieces of information with a free rubberband) .The compression rates are so drastic that guys carry entire chapters of textbooks in their socks.The power of technology applied here to great effect.
SEMINARS
Deeply enlightening sessions of puffs and pepsi,with students blabbering stuff during the break.
I strongly feel that the time for puffs and pepsi is over.We need to usher in a new way..Bring on the Biriyani,Bring on the milk shake.Apart from eating,seminars basically mean,the teachers are given their own medicine.It is their turn to sit through incredibly boring lectures.I distinctly remember one teacher sleeping through mine.I was proud....
TO BE CONTINUED..
PS:Too tired of creating bad jokes....will come back later to maim,trouble and harass..

The Same Story.
You could congratulate him for his very "noble" effort which resulted in ousting the 20th century hitler mr saddam,and establishing democracy in the state of iraq(translated into layman's terms as "OIL..More OIL".)You could blame him for his immensely horrible spellings.But the fact remains...After 9/11,the United States have not seen a terrorist attack of even a small magnitude.They have succeeded in their "war on terror".And India...Without quoting facts and figures,India is definitely the hot destination for the masked villians.The latest city to bear the brunt,the capital city.
So who is the latest scapegoat?.Well,the respected home minister was seen with 3 different pairs of clothes,the media gets turned "on",Shivraj patil for his personal hygiene is the root cause of all the problems.Shivraj patil puts on a new pair of clothes,and lo..a terror attack.Sonia Gandhi calls up an urgent cabinet meeting.She chides mr patil for his hygiene,and announces a new law that prevents cabinet ministers from changing clothes.Laluji is all for it.He rejoices in his own style,adding a new cow to his household.The PM unfortunately, could not attend the meeting,because of his nuclear deal commitments.But "Sonia's Wish is my command".
Jokes aside,Patil,unfortunately ultimately is the scapegoat.So what should change.The government?.Will a change of power reverse the situation.Itz the same biscuit in a new packet(forgive me for the bad analogy).New ,harsh antiterror laws ,which modi has been vocal about?.No,human rights violation is entirely unjustifiable.As they say"You can let a 100 villains free,but never let an innocent man suffer". new laws is not the answer,rather itz the way the existing laws are implemented,that needs to be undergo a change.A proposed federal structure on the model of FBI?.Definitely a very good idea,unless the red tape does not intervene.
Does the world really need another 9/11 to awake itself.I hope not.

BPL,a new season
I did exceed all my expectations.My order of laziness is second to none.If u had checked out my previous post,i had promised myself,a post everyday....ah well...Those who are really interested in english football may continue.Others may go back to being jobless.
The transfer market is finally closed,the deals done in the boardroom,now the real deal to be settled in the green square.The BPL is back with a new name, lots of new faces ,but the same,if not bigger ,dose of entertainment.All the teams did change,some for the better,some for the worse.2 games gone in the season,and we have had 2 manager casualities already curbishley,and keegan.Newcastle has fired iits 1768th manager in as many days.Stability is something that is beyond them.Every season,we expect great things from them,but with unwavering consistency,they disappoint.Itz high time ,they realize the importance of a stable backroom staff.
Curbishley,fair to him,did not deserve the sacking,as well.Yes,his transfer market forays were not entirely successful,but he definitely deserved some more time.He has proved himself as a sturdy professional with charlton,so i definitely think he will bounce back.
The perennial pretenders Tottenham..Well ,all the indications from their perfomances ,point to another season of pretending."Almost" there..but not yet there,Unless Juande Ramos manages to conjure up some magic from his sevilla experiences,marcus bent shows us why he was worth more than Henry!!,and Ledley King manages to stay fit for atleast half the season!!,tottenham is set for another "Almost" season.The biggest news of the summer undoubtedly is the manchester city takeover.A billionaire owner,and bids are already being made for kaka,fabregas,ronaldo(the portugese one,not the useless one),with robinho putting ink to paper for a massive 57 mil.Whether the lesser known manchester side becomes another chelsea or another leeds united,only time will tell.The premier league is turning out to be a hot destination for billionaires nowadays,first chelsea,now mancity.The prospect of money controlling glory is not really a heartwarming prospect for true soccer addicts.
The top four,and chelsea with roman power has really added strength with the addition of portugese maestro deco.Deco ,going by his perfomances,is set to capture the limelight.The reds,have had a quite summer relatively,breaking bank just for the bulgarian frontman berbatov.Definitely a great addition,but the best piece of business for them would have been keeping cristiano.Gunners true to their nature have bought in a 17 year old in aaron ramsey,and a 20 year old in nasri.The fact that these youngsters learn their trade in a very condusive atmosphere in arsenal,and when the deal is done,and they become the finished product,they move on to seemingly "greener" pastures,and ruin themselves,does not stop wenger from breeding these young geniuses.Flamini ,to take a name warmed the bench for 3 years,and finally when he made his mark last season,he opts to move out.Hleb blames the climate and moves for barcelona.The climate!!..wtf,itz all about the money.But wenger,the genius he is,will still be expecting great things from his very very young side,and hopefully they will be able to deliver silverware this time around.Whatever happens,the football is great,and thatz the only thing,i care.
PS: Happy onam to all..

The top four,and chelsea with roman power has really added strength with the addition of portugese maestro deco.Deco ,going by his perfomances,is set to capture the limelight.The reds,have had a quite summer relatively,breaking bank just for the bulgarian frontman berbatov.Definitely a great addition,but the best piece of business for them would have been keeping cristiano.Gunners true to their nature have bought in a 17 year old in aaron ramsey,and a 20 year old in nasri.The fact that these youngsters learn their trade in a very condusive atmosphere in arsenal,and when the deal is done,and they become the finished product,they move on to seemingly "greener" pastures,and ruin themselves,does not stop wenger from breeding these young geniuses.Flamini ,to take a name warmed the bench for 3 years,and finally when he made his mark last season,he opts to move out.Hleb blames the climate and moves for barcelona.The climate!!..wtf,itz all about the money.But wenger,the genius he is,will still be expecting great things from his very very young side,and hopefully they will be able to deliver silverware this time around.Whatever happens,the football is great,and thatz the only thing,i care.
PS: Happy onam to all..
