R & D Showcase '06 and other blah blah blah ...


R & D - It was okay, except for the fact that I was the only 3rd yr guy showing our(me and monga) robotics project - A Jumping Robot.(see the pic) . Anyway, before any questions are asked, our definition of the project, as per the robotics course is -

1. It is supposed to jump up in the air.
2. It is not our problem, as to what happens next - whether it falls down and breaks or whtvr.
3. Its gonna jump once and only once.

But, at the R&D, I basically told so much crap abt wht it will do when its done, that everybody (including myself) was very much appreciative of the idea and etc (other blah blah blah).

So, most of the thursday was basically building this robot, with the mag team meeting in the afternoon with Mrs. Meera Marathe - made a plan to bring out the IIIT Magazine - Interface - in the first week of April. After that, Su wid handover the reigns of the mag to us... I then went to the FSIS meeting wid the director to discuss abt the security issues, where we vehemently opposed the rule of banning cars in the campus. Hope that the rule wid not be implemented, coz i'm plannin' to bring a car soon ...

On 3rd, I put up the robot in 129, and roamed about looking at different projects, while spending most of my time at the DE Section ... It was fun there wid tipo and bushi. The whole day went like that, wid me enjoying by going to Bio lab abt 6 times (u know why). Finally, played football in the evening for about 1.5 hrs ... and then got back to the room, chatted for sometime and finally slept wid the hope tht I get up the next day morning for my CAT Class...
Btw, It rained after a longgggggggg time ...

4th Morning :
Was supposed to get up early for the CAT Class ... About 11 alarm rings between 5 - 5.30 am and I woke up to NONE of them. And irony was that it was the first time that none of us - me, Karthik and KrishnaAditya woke up by 6.30. I was woken up by Krishnaaditya's call at 6.30 to ask me abt the class ... We decided to screw going to class that day. Around breakfast time, I got to know that the class was cancelled ... WOW! What luck! Then, I decided that if I ever put an alarm , it means that I wake up.

I went to the R&D at arnd 11.30 am in the morning. And it was almost the same, wid the exception that the people who came to see almost tripled. So, it was kinda repetitive - I think of something else, but still the same old crap comes out of my mouth. In the meanwhile Ramji(see pic) was going all guns blazing while explaining his project. Vardhman Jain's project was kinda cool - removing an object from a movie file ... lot of ppl got some really weird ideas - he said he wid try to implement those. Finally, the day ended wid me playing football again and sleeping while watching the film - Good Night, and Good Luck I wid recommend watching this movie ... Its a pretty good one. Plot revolves around 1950's ... A black and white movie.

Sunday(Today) Morning :

Another weird start to the day, I got up to the alarm immediately, got ready by 8.15 am and went to the NBH Mess (for a change). Kartik and Vasan went home. So, it was me and Aditya to go to Ameerpet for the CL(Career Launcher) Class... I eat till 8.30 and feel surprised tht Adi isnt thr yet. So, I call him to find out tht he woke up just then. Hehe ... Its ALWAYS the other way round. I am always late ... by atleast 5 mins ... and he curses me, and we finally go to the class while frustrating Adi, along wid Vasan's help. There the CL guys ask for a reason, I'm always ready wid some excuse or the other, and we go into the class... Today, it was nice to be on the other side of the table. We went 17 minutes late to be precise... but, nothing happened, we went into the class with minimum fuss ... We came back in the Baleno again, ... seriously, driving baleno rocks !! I got Gulab Jamoon frm home, now its almost finished .. I shud think of some way which I can hide it ... any suggestions are welcome :)

Now, I check mail to find tht DC assignment 2 has arrived ... some one pls do it, and mail me ... :)
