Society: A lost cause(?)
Now they prefer the metaphor of a network to describe the connection of cybernetic solitudes, the inter-meshing of weak interactions under names like "colleague," "contact," "buddy," "acquaintance," or "date." Such networks sometimes condense into a milieu, where nothing is shared but codes, and where nothing is played out except the incessant recomposition of identity."

Silence
Frolic and Chase the dreams untold.
I want to taste, I want to trend
Make mistakes and slowly amend.
I want to laugh, I want to cry
Behold the beauty as it passes by.
I want to rule because you are here
Days are lovely and skies are clear.
Flowers are blooming in the summer Sun
Lovely O' dear, life is fun.
We've been through the thunder,
We've been through the gray.
Now I'm sure we are together
And are meant to stay.
Seasons will come, seasons will go.
Friendship in our hearts will overflow.
Days are getting gloomy, Here comes the fall.
Unexpected it may be, but we hit the ball.
Taste is bitter, no more sweet.
Wine is crude and so is wheat.
Can't hear a word, cannot see a sign.
Did I lose it what I thought was mine?
My heart exploding like volcanoes erupt.
Collecting the pieces of bits what is left.
Everyday is hard and every night is bane.
Tearing my chest to bear the excruciating pain.
Mind is stable and knows the truth
Heart doesn't accept it and needs a soothe.
I know you are gone, and will never return.
But I am lonely, desperate, ready to burn.
Mistakes were made and mostly by me.
Couldn't see the smoke through the screen of glee.
Now that I realize, the village is ruined.
Thoughts are charred and feelings are burnt.
Believe me O' dear, over and above.
Worst is the pain in the SILENCE of love.

The Thought
Rising above the clear skies
Black and white, faded and chrome
millions of them call it a home.
My mind is like a whirlwind of thoughts
sometimes clear like a river, calm like a lake
sometimes like a tornado rooting out the trees on its way.
This is the place I love to be and these are the woods where I get lost
Powerless as they seem they drive the world
call it a poem or call it a thought
It flows through one and affects them all
Matures and evolves by feeding on its own
How are they born?
What is their existence?
An infant of thought can change the game
My mind is like a leaking barrel of ale
Missing the seconds and pass right by
I run to catch one and others leave
But the one that remains is quite a heave
They help me change and help me unroll
Holding their grip on my fickle perception
They form a story and help me define my person
Stories are the one that creates our character
Just so because we are on a huge stage and playing a part
It begins to be our life and we become the story
For the story remains even though we perish
Let thee not be stopped by the fear of judgment
Thoughts are rare and graceful
Washing your worries away and give way for hope
Help you nourish and keep you alive
Going the distance as they make thee wise
Older I get, wiser I be
And its the thought that wets the sword
Until I die I think and I share
For sharing changes me and the folks I meet
Take my words and mark my advise
Pull a deep breath and try to fall into a deep slumber
Let it go like you are falling from the sky
Let yourself away from the gloom
Free thyself from the abyss of ignorance
Wake up to be a new soul
Cleansed from the darkness and you shall bloom
Words are strong and mankind is a tool
Look out for the world and it shall look after you
Leave the shell as soon as you can
There is a whole new world out there waiting for you in a different land
Learn the ideas and discuss the thoughts
Praise the silence and nature of god
Let it rip through you and thy soul to see
For you are more than what you think you can be.

I Wish You Were Here
Wednesday, April 9, 2014
Who am I?
goes the minty cloud.
Gliding through the smoke,
Following the heavenly route.
Am I dead? Is this heaven?
I enter the golden gate,
Touching the silver rails.
Never did I see a perfect world like this,
No human in sight, just the angels basking in bliss.
There I see a fairy coming through,
My heart goes to her, but then there are two.
I glide & glide to look for more.
The more I look, the more they lure.
I made my mind to touch the one.
Hairs so beautiful and skin like sun.
Making my move in her direction,
With all nervousness and quiet perception.
As I move closer to her,
Siding though a huge mirror.
I glance upon it to take a peek,
Taken aback by the view, by the devil I seek.
Beholding my mind by astonishing thought,
What an ugly creature I sought.
Dawning upon me a horrible mystery,
The devil is none other but Me.
Walls started rising & Earth split.
Hands arise, pulling me down
Winds blow and clouds frown.
Ocean thunders and lightning strikes.
Earth shatters till the last piece remain,
Fear grows in my heart till I be sane.
Heart shakes and eyes wide shut,
No intuition nor a feel in the gut.
Light shines bright over my head,
Sweating and shivering I break the bed.
Smile on my face knowing its a dream,
Off of bed through I beam.
A thought strikes, buzzing like a drone
Who am I? Am I what I am, or What I think I am?

Life, Universe and Everything...
Today a question popped in my head after watching a video on youtube. A question which is very common and almost every human on this planet should have thought about it once in a while.
"What is the purpose of universe and everything that exists around us?" "Why its there in being? A big fat WHY?"
![]() |
| Credits: Google search |
I asked this very question to few of my friends and i received various set of replies. Some of them are like:
1.
Frnd1: "Why should I care? I am concerned by what happens to myself."
Me: "Dont you feel grateful for universe to create you using stardust generated billions of years back? Dont you have curiosity to know about it and what it is upto?"
Frnd1: "how will that affect the universe? I cannot make a difference in the being of universe but I can make a difference in my being so better I think about myself rather than wasting my time in thinking about universe."
Me: "But how will you make a difference even in your life without setting a goal? And that goal should be something logical. Finally that is also a gift given to you by universe."
Frnd1: "I am a very tiny object in universe and there is a probability of having several other Earths and galaxy where someone is doing something"
Me: "Take an example of this scooty. Its a solid. It has atoms vibrating at a particular frequncy and maintaining the equilibrium of this body and hence it is stable and it exists. Likewise you are a tiny atom in this universe and you will have to contribute your part in its being. Else equilibrium will break and your existence is in danger."
... some random discussion over probability rules and mathematics.
2.
Frnd2: "This Universe is created by God. There is a divine power governing the laws of nature and that driving force decides our and Universe's fate"
Me: "I respect your views but what about the cosmic history and all the past evidences?"
Frnd2: "We cannot possibly know this or else we would have been great sages"
So before having this discussion I had a point of view. Here goes my understanding:
- Humans came into existence 16 million years back, Earth came 46 billion years back and Universe came 100s of billions of years back. This time period is called cosmic history. So how much part of cosmic history belongs to humans? Its 0.000001%. [Its like we go for a movie and watched just 2 seconds of it yet. We do not know what happened and what's gonna happen]. So before us there were several creatures that existed and got extinct. Several species formed and got destroyed. Asteroids hit, rainfall, ice age, etc. So why this is happening? What's the final product?
Let's look at it as a chemical reaction. Each chemical has a starting product -> an intermediate unstable product -> final product
So the intermediate unstable product obviously doesn't live long enough and soon gets converted to another more stable form. So in case of universe and Earth, many intermediate unstable products formed, destroyed, converted. If we look at our percentage of living we also did not live long enough to be called a stable product yet. So are we a by-product of Universe reaction? How long this intermediate result gonna last? What's there next? If we are the final stable product, didn't it take too long to form it? Is Universe so inefficient? If we are just an unstable state then how should we contribute to be a good final product? What's the purpose of human life and hence What's the purpose and motif of Universe?
Its said that our (Indian) vedas were written by highly learned sages who knew everything. Still they were humans and they found out what happened before in the "so-called movie". They found out and they wrote stories based on accumulated wisdom of ages. I think what our aim can be is to understand the knowledge accumulated till now through vedas, etc and try to contribute to it further.

This question is still lingering and its answer is unknown, hidden in the womb of future.

Javascript Cache or Piggy-backing your browser?
We will point out a bad javascript practice here. Since we are using a property of window object which is currently not used by the page, on actual use of this property our values can be destroyed or over-ridden or they can overload the browser and crash it unexpectedly (too dangerous!). So instead of storing those values in a persistent object, we are piggy-backing the browser memory.

Tribute to a great leader
Till later part of my adolescence, I was unaware of most visionary figures of the world and several great people who impacted the thinking of human being. During the process of familiarizing myself with technology and computers I came to know about various types of products, current trends, legacies and people behind them.
One of those flawless personalities whom I started admiring was the co-founder of Apple Inc., Steve Jobs. I cannot say anything that the world already doesn’t know about him. But I can certainly count him as an inspiring figure in my career and eventual behaviour development. I see him as a person who binds beauty and divinity with technology. A glorious man to be looked-upon, striving throughout his life to provide classy and complete products.
I was very happy the day when I got selected in my first job interview and my employer gifted me a brand-new Apple iPod as a token of appreciation. I admire the beauty of products that Jobs has made us accessible to.
It’s a great loss to the world but Jobs will always be remembered because of his extremely creative ideas, his humour, his quotes and his motif from life.

@Ascendant
Now lets come to the current context. A day starting with a nice fresh sunny morning, followed by hour long rush of Chennai traffic, and reaching the destination hoping to have a wonderful optimistic start. A group of 15 freshers entering a huge building with almost similar thoughts. A group of people with nearly similar exposure to industry. All of 'em curious to know the next part of the story. All of 'em ready to try new tools provided by the new alma mater.
So here we are at the starting point of a new journey.
{Curtain rises...}
{Welcome speeches and intros...}
So we finally feel at home now with few confusions and differences . We are hired to ascend :P. Though english doesn't seem to be a very common language, communication is over-rated.
Work seems to be fun now with highly caring sprecialists. The crew of strangers became friends.
Seniors will be seniors and will be respected. New sports introduced as a relief to work. And the day starts now with a cup of coffee, ends with a friendly game of table-tennis.
That's it for now!

Finally...Found how to make Win-XP bootable USB
- May be their CD drive isn’t working properly like mine, or
- They don’t want to waste money on a CD
More over installation from a flash drive is faster compared to a CD.
Before we go on with the tutorial here’s what you’ll need
- 1 USB flash drive, 1GB or larger
- 1 Windows XP installation disc
- Assorted files that I’ll describe as we go along.
- Note: Your BIOS should support usb boot, some older computers may not support USB boot.
Preparing the flash drive
First up, we need to prepare the flash drive.
- Download and unzip this file, which should contain 2 folders: 1 titled Bootsect, and the other USB_prep8.
- Navigate to the USB_prep8 folder and click on usb_prep8.cmd. This will bring up a Windows console window.
- Press any key to continue and a PeToUSB window will open.
- Make sure your flash drive is selected, and click start to format your flash drive.
- When the format is complete, click OK, but do not close the PeToUSB window or the Windows Console.
- Open a new console window by typing “cmd” into the run box in the Windows Start Menu.
- Find your Bootsect folder (if you’re not used to DOS commands, you can type “dir” to list directories and files, type “cd foldername” to navigate to a folder name – called foldername in this example, and if there’s a long folder name you can save time by typing the “cd” and just the first few letters and then hitting the Tab key to fill in the rest of the name).
- Once you’re in the Bootsect folder, type “bootsect.exe /nt52 g:” if “g” is the letter assigned to your flash drive. If it’s E, then change the letter to e. If it’s Z, make it z. Get it?
- When this is done, you should see a message letting you know that the bootcode was updated, and you can close this console window (but not the other console window).
- Close the PeToUSb Window, but make sure not to close the remaining console window yet
- You should now see a list of 8 options in the console.
- Select one and find the drive with your Windows installation disc.
- Select 2 and pick a random drive letter (but not one that’s already on your PC, since this will be a virtual drive used for copying your files).
- Select 3 and enter the drive letter for your USB flash drive.
- Select 4 and follow the rest of the on-screen directions and you should be all set.
The process should take about 15-20 minutes. When it’s done, you should have a bootable USB stick that you can use to install Windows XP the same way you would if you had a CD/DVD drive.
A few notes here. First of all, there’s a chance you may get down to step 15 and the program will tell you that it can’t create the virtual drive. This may happen if you’ve already gone through the whole process and are trying to do it again to fix problems. The solution seems to be rebooting your computer and trying again. Or at least that’s what worked for me.
Second, if you use NLite to shrink/slipstream/otherwise modify your Windows XP installation file, make sure you do not remove “manual installation files,” or your USB stick will be pretty much useless.
Once your usb drive is ready, go to your bios and set USB to first position in boot order. Now plug the usb and restart.
Make sure you back up your important documents and files, firefox bookmarks, and drivers if you lost your drivers cd.

Human vs Facebook
I appreciate Zhukerberg for creating such a wonderful web-app, which changed the definition of web 2.0 and other web-standards. It gave personality to Internet and benefitted many people in various forms.
But what about HUMAN?!
I heard back in my schools that "Human is a 'social' Animal". But now I think they need to change this phrase. People find more people over Internet. They connect with those who they never even met. Many times you come across a person with whom you never ever talked but you are "friends" on FB. They dont say a 'hi' when they meet, but they "chat-ping-like-comment".
FB was supposed to change the definition of Internet. Increase the interaction of the ones whom we forgot. Make people meet when they are free.
But, instead of doing that, it has changed the definition of Human. Now, a majority of people on this Planet are "SOCIAL" in the sense of FB+Internet. But, in a broader perspective, we have lost the social-ity , and became just ANIMALS.
Soon, they'll teach in schools that- "Human is an animal".[which is obviously truth].
This post is not meant for FB-fans who spent all their liesure time over it. But for those who think they lost something by exposing themselves too much "socially" on FB.
I dont wanna be harsh in my words but the "social network" is becoming a "social abuse"
I may be wrong in my thinking.Comments and suggestions are most welcomed :)

Mid-Sems in Final year X-(
You must read this if you are a final year student.
I may be wrong somewhere but i strongly feel that the testing criteria of final year students need a reformation.
Engineering, now a days, is a common stream for many students who foresight der career as a person of innovation, a person who can visualize the solution of many problems in his domain; can come up with extra-ordinary ideas to beautify human life.
But, is the testing criteria for engineers well-engineered???
Three precious years of our course we spend in getting accustomed, learning various perspectives of life, facing different situations in our Industrial domains, learning technologies and trends.
So, what about the final-year? Should we continue giving several tests each month, cramming the xerox, books and internet material?? What about the thought-process,innovation,etc which we thought before joining the course??
Final year is the last milestone where we have chance of developing our mentality in such a way so as to face the career coming ahead. Employers will have a lotta expectations. We will be given all the real-time problems to deal with and that time we will fail to perform up-to the mark.
So why cant we reform the norms for final-year students??
The tests shud be more practical in nature. It shud not test the bookish knowledge and shud make a student think abt the solutions. The things which can be referred shud not be tested in exams. They shud test the concepts and make us feel to think ahead of the HERD.
Please correct me if am wrong.
