A lot of events took place to me in the last few days. I had my semester lab exam on Monday. We would be given two programs and we were supposed to complete both of them without any choice. I got two, the first, Converting the input mathematical expression from Infix notation to Postfix Notation. The second one was to perform the 'Selection Sort' sorting on the given input elements. The second one was easy.. The first one required a lot of work in our cranium.. The dumb program refused to give the output. For example, if you enter A+B, the result should be AB+, but my program refused to print the operator, it kept printing 'AB' alone.. It was only after the examination that I found out that the culprit was a missing '}'.. the program even compiled successfully, but as you know, no use crying over spilt milk.

Yesterday, we went over to Sathyan's house as he had called all of us over for a mini feast as it was the Tamil New Year. We had a lot of food that was catered to by a small restaurant near our house. Then we watched Tomb Raider on his new DVD. Great sound system.

I can never imagine that I missed Enrique's Concert in Bangalore on account of my exams and the little time that I had for traveling 350 kms to Bangalore. There was little I could do other than play a few of his CDs in my music System at full blast. I hope that this wouldn't be the case next time around. Waiting for you Enrique.

Met a few of my friends from school.. they vowed that they would join the group and also inform all the others. That's lousy considering the number of times that they have made similar promises.

Today, we had to go to our college during the study hols to gather our Hall Tickets from our college. It was crowded and we had a hell of a time getting the tickets. We had to pay an extra 50 rupees as breakage charges. That is daylight robbery.. Next time, I'll break something before I leave the lab ;)

My semesters (theory) start next week.. got most of my papers including accounts and also a 'foundation course' in which we got to write an exam based on a few books that were specified, one was "You can win" - by Shiv Kera and the other "My Experiments with truth' by Mahatma Gandhi.. I would go for the smaller one ofcourse ;)

Until later.. byes..

Late news, but interesting news! This happened in my City a few days back. Found it on the net only now.... Hope you find it interesting!

Guess I have to stay with my Nokia 3530 after all the responses that I got. I love my
3530!!



I should also thank all of you for your votes and apologies to those from  whom I 'demanded' votes :D



And thanx each one of you for spending your valuable time and helping me out of my mobile blues!! Keep the comments flowing...

I changed my mobile phone today after a lot of thought and consideration. I have
actually downgraded from a higher config handset to a lesser configured one. I really miss my old one, a Nokia 3530,

My previous handset -A NOKIA 3530:

This was the handset that I was using until now.. At the time of buying, august last, it was the coolest and less expensive handset available then.

The only drawback was that it was a bit huge and difficult to carry.. I mean uncomfortable to have in your jeans pocket. So, I decided that I had to make go with this handset.

Some drawbacks I faced :

Size/ Frequent Hanging of Software.

My present handset - A NOKIA 1100 :

I actually downgraded my handset from a colour display to a black and white. This handset looked sleek and was small! So I decided that this was a good choice. But I really dont know if I made the right decision, The previous handset had GPRS and MMS (Though my service provider is yet to support both). The only special mention about this handset is that it has an awkward looking torchlight at the top.

I can still backtrack and get back my old sweety :')

Some drawbacks I faced after using my 3530:

Phonebook ( a measly 50 entries compared to 500 in my 3530)

No calendar.

No MMS.

No separate buttons for attending and hanging up on a call.

No polyphonic tones.

And a hell lot more...

I can backtrack even now.. What do you think?

 

As the world gets shrunk under the rule of Information Technology, people seem to care less and less about other people's privacy. I get so irritated when I am writing a personal mail and there is this guy peering over my shoulder at the cybercafe. I have never seen this guy before and he seems so interested to see what I am doing.

These annoying people also seem to like your instant messages... they stare like anything when you are busy chatting online with a close friend of yours.. making you feel very uncomfortable. Why are they interested in other people's messages? They got thier own problems to think about...

This is not bound to the computer alone.. When you are on your mobile... these people get into your conversation... they smile when you do when you are actually *smiling* at the person at the other end of the line... and they come close so that they can hear the conversation too :x

Some of my college friends are worser off.. they keep staring at your mobile's screen when you are busy typing a private SMS.. they know that it is private.. but they dont seem to care a damn about it.. and when they want to have a play at our mobile phone's games, and when we receive a message, it is only after THEY read the message that they inform us that we have received a message... this irritates me so much so that I have to verbally give them a go! And they'll smile sheepishly at me... Aarrgghh!! I dont know whether my reflections on this issue are right... But I really hate it when such people do it this way...

Reading thru most of the people's blogs here, who talk about thier cool school life, I get pangs... I miss my school a lot. Its been only a year since I graduated from my school... But it already seems like an eternity.. the reason for that is, all the other fellows have some of thier batch mates in thier respective colleges.. but not me, there ARE two other guys from my class who are in my college.. but they arent that close to me and I rarely meet them as thier dept. is quite far off from mine.

All alone, it is driving me nuts... I thought that I would never forget my pals.. but already i am having troubles remembering many people who were with me after only a year. I still keep contact with most of them over the phone.. but still..

Most of my personal friends from Coimbatore do not know about my blog and incase you are one of them, I want to say this truly, I miss each and everyone of you.. More so during these exam times.. no one to share notes with, no one to give a comforting hand to lean on...

I miss my quizzing partner, Adarsh. Both of us used to go to most of the Quizzes and other extra-curricular activities that were held in Coimbatore and never returned empty-handed on most occasions... He was a good learner and got admitted into Anna University, Madras, far from here... Tried emailing him, But his mailbox is "Not in Use"...

We have our own yahoo group too, but so far only 8 of our guys from our batch of 87 have joined.. There's no sign of an alumni association to be formed in our school even after repeated representations.. But there is good news, one of my friends called me up to tell me that he found his autograph book that had all the phone numbers and addresses of all the fellows who were with us at school, thats good news..

Miss you guys...
