Road blocks are just another reason go around....
Zameen Asmaan Ek Kardunga
"Zameen Asmaan Ek Kardunga..." thats surely one of the most cliche statement in bollywood. Having it as a title was more relevant towards its literal meaning as i experienced it in real.
Not that i recently conquered a huge aggregation of tasks to achieve something, to quote such a statement... but it means more like The earth and the sky were one as i stand at a height of 3000ft.
Last sunday, yet another trek... a more enduring one.. to The Duke's nose, was a real visual treat.
The trek kicks off with ever tempting waterfalls of the Sayadharis. A quick wash in the cold stream, some bruises on the knee (act or over enthusiasm, climbing the slippery rocks of the falls) and most imp... a few clicks and poses.
Once you thirst is quenched, you move upwards, the sloppy path ascending into the lush green forest.
Higher you go, tougher it gets, and to add more.... poorer it gets on the sight.
On the last leg, you are treated with the open sky Oh... take a look down.....you find sky there too...!!!
All of a sudden you find yourself encapsulated in this bleached capsule. So white and so void... it at once reminded me of the movie matrix (part 1 - where neo, first time is taken inside the matrix... the null, infinite, white room.... not sure if you could call that a room)... i was awestruck
The clouds blind you from all the 4 directions into such a extend that you cant see the narrow path ahead, beyond a couple of meters.
Thats wat i call ...."Zameen Asmaan Ek karna"... you just dont have to do anything for it. ;-)
A thin film of mist is left all over your skin, as you walk though those clouds, makes a clear impression of how plants might be enjoying the dew every morning..... man i envied them so much.
No sooner than this enticing nature settles into me, the winds grew stronger scattering apart the clouds. The depth of the valley unveiled, and our jaws touching ground.
The green from the lands shimmered as the clouds gave away exposing a spectacular collation of the white-clouds, green-fields and the graphite-rock face of the duke's nose, surely thats some where close to heaven.
After coding hundreds of lines the whole week, hundreds of steps into the wild on a sunday makes a real worth of living life. I dont want to get into the physical benefits of treks but all that matters is a 'change' Partying on a friday night motivates you even more for a sunday like this,
as you've already filled the quota of being wasted.
Time to pump some endurance.
One must surely take all the benefits of the monsoon nature... same way we do to save taxes from stupid schemes.
Getting wet has a whole new dimension.... explore it..!!!
Waterfall Rappelling.... a life time experience
I think the “monsoon me” in me has taken up to its fullest....trekking, hiking, riding every weekend to some of the most picturesque locations in the Sahyadris.
Its has been ever refreshing and thrilling to be amongst those daunting mountains with clouds engulfing them as if to cast a spell of invisibility,
the waterfalls being swayed away before touching ground into a fine mist of smokey mist, seems as if the water itself wants don’t wanna come down,
the winds so pure and clean that it makes you breath higher (feels the same way like you come out from moccha after spending hours inside ;-)
I regrettably lost touch from much of this beautiful nature during my engineering, but here i am.... all back in form, every sunday packing my bags. The experience is had the last sunday was really a breath taking one.
Waterfall Rappelling........WTF thats the first reacting i had..!!!
How can one geting himself in a position right below a 6 story high, one step waterfall, tied up all alone in the air, facing the waters rushing onto you... The pressure was so much that you just couldn’t think of having the guts to look up. standing under a waterfall (which most of us havve done) is far different than decending down with the water itself.
The chilling spine that it gave the first time we saw the falls, was unforgettable... the winds getting stronger, my turn getting closer... oh man... i was going cold. Getting geared up was another huge task. Trekking equipments can sometimes be really complicated. The harness, clamps, ropes, karabiners and most imp.. the helmet.
To write about what i was going through as the waters stoned me to obstruct their path... would be far away from the real experience (partly bcoz of my writting skills ;-p ).
The rattling sound of the waters some how produced an intense hollowness. I forgot everything, who i am, what i do, where...why....everything...!!! all i was concern was not the fear of falling, but to enjoy the openness of the nature around me.
Never can one forget such an experience....!!!
The most efficient solutions are by the most in need
Entrepreneur... the kids who got their homework done....by others
Do you feel bored at school?
Do u fall back in classes?
do you make ur friends do ur homework?
.....then u r on your way to be a future Entrepreneur
This is an amazing piece for kids who want to grow up and be Entrepreneurs (self made business men). Cameron Herold explains how kids show traits of becoming a good engineer, doctor, lawyer etc.... also show traits of being a successful manager.
Like for instance... if you aren't good at maths...kids might sometime ask their friends to do the homework... or simply copy.
the fact remains undisputed... business men hire accountants to do their math.
Whats more important is that you get the job done.
He further goes about explaining how patents can identify traits... and groom them appropriately for looking towards the managerial inclination....
A few of his views are bound to contradict with us.... as he goes about suggesting the monthly allowance is a bad habit for kids.... (not in india atleast)
as kids should be made to look for work that would make them earn...

PICT online... a whole new look
Check out the page for library and cultural activity… it’s a brilliant display of PICT assets, never before it looked so good.
Talking about the recency of the pics… I am sure people can tag them…. ‘outdated’
They should provide better and latest features like RSS feeds, twitter updates, google reader, etc etc.
It would really make students interact, alongside keeping up the technical essence. Moreover the college would benefit more in terms of student feedback, interaction, public awareness and most important student associativity towards college.
Almost everyone has some social networking account…. Its definitely easy to create a facebook app. Or a tweek app and hock it up with the site….
Come on guys… we are no more living in the era of dial up…. PICT provides an amazing internet connectivity… (I downloaded @500 kbps)… I am sure the hostel guys would know better….
'College internet is slow….' Is just not the reason man…
So many times we come up in college… saying these lines…
“kya profile pic dala hai…ek number”,
“you saw xyz’s goa pics… saale ne bahut aaish kiya hai…”
“Kal ke party ke pics upload kiya kay…”
…… indeed….. we all know what I am talking about….
If ppl can open 2 tabs simultaneously, one for gmail n other for facebook, we can surely infiltrate them to go for the 3rd tab having the college web site… for updates, news, etc.
Guys can come up with such great projects (mini or large)… adding more to the knowledge and putting IT to a much ethnologic use. There’s an whole array of assorted tools, softwares, APIs, ideas available that we can learn and put to use creatively and constructively making Information Technology a better thing to know and enjoy.

An endless drive
With the climate going ferocious, i meet the first rains of monsoons on the highway with pitch dark sky and an orechestrated display of lightening. My car and I both had the time of our lives..
It’s a long ride,
and I’ve been driving for quite a while.
need to stretch limbs and crack some bones,
its time to sip a tea
The engine’s going hot
and airs’ turning cold
the suns’ going down
but I’m staying up
for every mile that passes,
the sign boards keep flashing
but each time i gaze
it gets more n more distant.
I face the gleaming headlights
cleanse through the blurring rains
conquer the fallacious ghats
and cruise over straightened lanes.
The trance keeps playing
I grab a steady beat,
honking behind, I make others give way
overtaking all, I gain on pace.
no darker can the sky grow
no faster can my car go
my eyes are getting tired
and my mind’s going anxious.
With patience I steer
the ticking time makes me fear
coz I need to reach home fast
or things are going really harsh
as the city arrives, I get more eager
familiar roads and the same old poles
the busy streets and the ever red signals
finally I reach the gates,
parked my car and pull the brakes.
I get out and my senses return,
blood starts flowing…
Oh I get the feel, my ass is still a part of me.
a hot shower and good nite is all I bid myself….
a random thought
Got a call from one of my friend in college
asking for a doubt in data structures... it then struck me that many ppl had their DS prac the next day.
So thought I'll wish them luck.... and out of no where i made this and sent it to all

code karte karte hum iss taraha uljhe

jab BST ke zhakmo ko threads se sii ne gaye
tab pirms aaur kruskal ne aaisa hash kiya
ki hum Depth aaur breadth dono taraha se
files mein bikhar gaye
