Unexplained stuff...
Some possible reasons could be..
1)Nobody is reading..
2)People come here once a fortnight
3)they read but dont care to comment
4)I am writing crap
But still it is rather inexplicable......
Anyhow I gave my last(hopefully)MCA exam a few days back... so for all purposes i would say that MCA is over...
The last paper was just a viva for the 4 months internship
The exam went somewhat like this...
Q1: How much time did u take to create this software.
A: 15 days hard coding
Q2: And the rest of the time??
A: 45 days to design the database and GUI
Q3: okkkk.... the remaining 2 months??
A: waiting for my manager...
Comment: u can go now....
Best viva ever....
Maybe the best number plate ever....
I have seen these things hanging around from the roof at many metro stations (not the underground ones).... wonder what purpose they solve

Once a drunkard.....
I had my first drink in 5th standard.... accidently ofcourse.....
tasted some in between.... from there on to till 10th
By 11th i was drinking beer....
...and vodka.....
When i entered college..... i graduated to whisky.....
Tried wine..... but it sucked...
In my hostel years..... i gained a reputation of a tanker. I quit drinking beer and vodka....Only drank scotch (Teachers minimum).... and wouldn't go down till i had 15 neat bottom ups......
And sometimes... my antics were such that people thought i was always high.......
I never completly understood the reasons for my tolerance......
.
.
until i came across this....
मैं कायस्थ कुलोदभव मेरे पुरखों ने इतना ढ़ाला,
मेरे तन के लोहू में है पचहज्ञल्तऌार प्रतिशत हाला,
पुश्तैनी अधिकार मुझे है मदिरालय के आँगन पर,
मेरे दादों परदादों के हाथ बिकी थी मधुशाला। *
I believe this explains a lot..... even if in a twisted sort of a way........
* lines from Madhushala written by "Large B"
I quit drinking some months ago...
........and i think i have used this same heading in another post here some years ago....

Remembering bony....
This is a very old photograph of my friend Kartik Gosain (or Bony as everyone called him) from one of my birthday parties. I dont even remember which birthday it was... but i do remember Bony as one of my oldest friends.
I first met him when he started coming to our home for tution from mom. He was of same age as I and in the same standard and we quickly struck a friendship...must have been class 3rd or 4th....
We spent many hours playing cricket outside and several other games inside where we shot down imaginary space ships from our very own rocket(the bed)..... and we took turns playing the pilot.... who had a small round thing to use as the steering wheel..
He was a regular at my home as I was at his....
After 12th he spent some time at Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce...after which he went to hyderabad to pursue Hotel management..
That was the time when drifted apart.... and only met about once or twice a year...
It was his third year at Hyderabad when we came home for some time and he told me how he had gotten bored of eating lobster and chicken everyday..... Man i was jealous....and then there was the booze... He told me that he was interested in bar tending... and then i quizzed him for hours on different types of drinks and how to tell which was better...
Last time we met he had finished his studies and was placed in ITC. He was shortly leaving for Gurgaon where his preliminary training would take place.
Then after some months he scrapped me that he was now working in ITC Maurya, Chennai.....
Kartik died today morning(13 April 2009) after being on life support for many days. He had been in a bike accident a few days earlier....
I'll remember you always......
