Ideas are Immortal

I feel infuriated,reckless,agitated,stirred from within. I witnessed the most horrifying sight in my life. An old woman was run over by a car,right in front of eyes… It was heart wrenching…It is so hard,i felt a jolt and grew numb. After years i started crying, on the road.
It wasn’t the mistake of the car driver,the old woman was trying to cross an expressway and had slipped and fallen on the road.But, the driver didn’t even stop and check what had happened,the driver slowed down,and after seeing the crowd flew away.
It wasn’t the woman’s fault either,as there is no provision to cross these roads. No subways,sky walks or zebra crossings monitored by a signal or traffic police.

These roads and systems are designed and implemented by morons with no foresight.You don’t require foresight,just a fraction of common sense and responsibility would have averted many incidents of this kind.

The worst part of all this for me is that, i had to be a silent spectator….This mishap happened within 2 seconds….I had a myriad of emotions,thoughts and then my mind got blank and i started to cry…

But, later i got angry thinking of cause for incidents like these…I pray that she survives….

I try to be consistent consistently,but it goes the other way round,i’m consistently fluctuating….I consciously try to be fickle minded on a few issues,but the harder i try,i get averted from my motive…When i try to get conscious of getting consistent,i lose it out and never deliver my best…
Its like this line i heard in Dil Chahta Hai-“Try to grab sand in your fist,…the harder you try, the lesser you hold…..”
Nowadays, i’ve left it all to my instincts and intuitions. They are helping me out…..

Two veterans up to give their best shot…

Both these projects are already being speculated to be the greatest ventures movie ever in India.

Rajni has tied up with director Shankar,one of the splendid directors in the industry. This project has been the dream project of Shankar,after repeated approaches to various actors and production houses,now it is the Superstar in it. Initially titled- Robot,now it is being called Enthiran in tamil which means the same.

Now talking about the other icon-Kamal,he is doing a period movie which can be compared to Apocalypto. He is directing it,supposed to be again a radical movie that has not been thought of in India.

Now,how do these interest me apart from these two legends. It is another legend- A R Rahman, who is composing the music for both these movies… Both these will definitely be benchmarks for future music composers.

By the way,both are projects with budget more than Rs.120 crores as if for now,realising in late 2009 or 2010. So i just can’t wait for these two,like the many millions.

When is a thing interesting?
I believe that interest level is a term which cannot be constant. It’s attribute is to keep deteriorating. It has to come down. You can never be interested in a particular thing for a long time. You can, if it remains obscure to you forever.
I claim that, this is the same when you consider interacting with people. You can’t always be interseted in a person,look at him or her in awe forever. So to keep relationships alive we need to reinvent ourselves. We need to grow,get better,renew ourselves,so that your counterpart(could be your friend,lover,spouse…) remains attached to you. If you bore them,and if no obligations are in place you ll lose them subsequently.

Actions without purpose,without any consequences,which create only nuisance. Most of our population is engrossed in pursuing deeds like these. I really wonder,as to how people can dedicate their energy,time,resources to things like these.
I was in the middle of a swarm of vehicles carrying supposedly the activists of a major political party. I’m damn sure that majority of these people would not have the slightest clue of the reason for which they are gathering.
Forget about wasting their energy over nuisance like this,they don’t realise the extent of trouble and ruckus they are creating to other relatively useful souls around them.
I’ve been trying to analyse as to what is the cause for such actions of these people- i end up reaching the same reason which is the root cause for so many other problems faced by Indians- illiteracy,as a consequence lack of realisation of their responsibilities,a careless attitude towards everything.
I’m again sure that until and unless we tackle this problem,India will always keep dreaming of becoming a developed country and of achieving what it is deserves…

Both our subsystem papers have won the BEST PAPER AWARD in different categories at ESSTA-2008,an International Space Conference……..
Congratulations to TEAM STUDSAT…….
Dr. Kasturirangan (Former ISRO Director) presented us the awards….

A barricade in the bus to separate boys from girls….Different classrooms for boys and girls….A student was sent back to the room from the hostel entrance,for he was wearing a cargos pant and another for wearing a shirt with two breast pockets…
A finger print scanner at the entrance of hostel to identify them and restrict them from leaving hostel unnecessarily….
If you wanna come back early from class to hostel,you are expected to bring a permission letter from dean…
No cell phones in campus(really no cell phones!!!!), 5 BSNL lines are placed at the reception in booths,it is open only2 and a half hours a day,except on weekends….
This is what poor peers of ours are being put through at Satyabhama College…

Have a look at him….

Started of the day with a rehearsal of my presentation at 7,after a cold water bath at 6… Then all of us moved out of hostel to hog… The menu was sophisticated but the breakfast could not have got simpler and unexciting…
After registrations,we had the biggest acknowledgment for registering in the conference- a huge travel bag!!!
Then,it seriously got better, we were in front of Dr.Madhavan Nair-the man of the hour,after launching Chandrayaan-1 and its successful entry into the 100 km lunar orbit…
The inauguration ceremony was overwhelmingly filled with big names in space technology. We also happened to listen to an obscure speech by Satyabhama’s Chancellor,ignoring his mediocre English.
Then came an inspiring and motivating talk by Dr.Madhavan Nair. At times like these,after seeing people like him and his team is that i really begin to question the path i’ve chosen for myself…
Then came our presentation….This must have the first time that i didn’t commit any faux pas in my presentation…I always do one or the other inappropriate thing…It was an almost a perfect shot…We received lot of appreciation for our work and the presentation… -:)

This must have been the first time, i have had a one on one encounter with what can be called peak of absurdity.I’m at Sathyabhama University,Chennai preparing to give a presentation of our team’s paper….
But,i have been overwhelmed by the ridiculous things happening around me…First of all,we got into a room which is very spacious…The bathroom is as big as the room provided to me in IIT,Madras…
Next,just listen, this is the first time i’ve seen such atrocity anywhere…There are no power plug points in the room…When asked why,they say students are not allowed to use cell phones,so no plug points…I know it can’t get more atrocious than this..
And,girls are not supposed to mingle with boys !!!! Imagine us, in Bangalore,it is heaven for us….
But, after seeing all this, i was consoled by a dinner with heaps of chicken…(I’m lovin it!!!)
Anyways,looking forward to my presentation tomorrow….
