Feelin Blue...

Life is so funny at times. No matter how many resolutions u make, u end up not following them, mostly not even for a week. That's when i stopped makin them, the easy way out. But blogging was something different. I always liked it and wanted to continuosly write but i just cant find the time. Well, i know that i'm not doin much these days; its just the music, books and mostly importantly, the sleep. But to write, u need a typical mood. I dunno if u people have experienced it but i'm that kind. But whatever it is, i have decided now to write regularly. Maybe i would write when i felt like and save it in my lap. Well, to tell the truth its 31st October and 2 o'clock in the morning. :-)

Ask me the reason why i'm writting this now. Well, i'm feelin so blue right now that i cant find sleep. I've been listening to Feelin Blue from Pyaar Ke Side Effects for the past 2 hours. I cant assign any particular reason to it. Maybe there are too many. Some that i still dunno about.
There are lots of thinngs that i want to do right now- some may be too blunt to say it here. But right now, i feel like driving 4 long distances; and i want to have a cold coffee from the Barista in Race Course Road in Coimbatore; sit in the All Souls Church again in Race Course; i feel like swimming &bi want to walk in a lonely beach now, maybe the Baby Beach in Kannur... Jaane Kya Jaane Mann, Bavra...Feelin So Blue, My Heart Cant Be True...

Have you ever felt really lonely at times when u least wanted it?? Well, i'm feeling so lonely right now. Maybe, its because of the single room in my hostel that i live in or maybe it is because u are just out of a relation and feel lost and hurt. After believing that what u have been doin so far is right, u suddenly feel like that u made a mistake somewhere along the way and u didn't realise it then and when u come to realise it, u are miles ahead and it no use turning back. Just admit it and carry on. Some things and relations are not meant to be.

A few days ago, Akhila had called me. She has made a new resolution of shedding her weight by a few pounds and getting a perfect figure by the New Year. Guess, i should give it another go and try to make a few resolutions of my own. And more important, try to stick to it and acheive it.


I guess thats it for now. Good Night.

Main Project

Hi all,

As the final year of my engineering has dawned upon, i had to decide on my main project for the final year. So it was a time to realise my old dream, an EV (for the ignorant, plz read electric vehicle :-) ) So i've decided to build a quad bike which is an all-terrain vehicle(ATV). Well, u may be thinking what an electrical engineer is doin with a mechanical bike. WEll, my quad-bike is different for it is completely electric, i e, runs on motor powered by battery packs. I've just started with the designs nad i need help from all quarters, (finacially nad otherwise too).
The reason for this post is that i wasn't able to find adequate details on any type of quad bikes on the net and i feel that this will help other people. So i would be giving regular updates here.
Thank you.
Good Day!

Movie Of The Month- FORREST GUMP

My movie of the month for August is Forrest Gump (1994)...

Director: Robert Zemeckis

Writers: Winston (novel), Eric Roth (screenplay)

Cast: Tom Hanks, Robin Wright Penn, Gary Sinise.

Wel, many had been recommendin the movie to me, but i never got to see the whole movie. But yesterday i made it to see the whole movie. Wel, I liked it a lot. A simple movie with humour, romance, sadness, love, action, drama. Tell me an emotion you cant find in the movie.

Tom Hanks in title role of Forrest Gump is simply superb, proving yet again that he is one of the finest actors of the present time.

The movie goes with a tagline : "The story of a lifetime". Well, it defenitely is.

"The world will never be the same once you've seen it through the eyes of Forrest Gump."

The story: "It begins with Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) telling the story of his life at a small bus stop near a park to the people who awaits theirs buses there. he doesn't care if the people listens or even when they leave him. he goes on with his story.

Forrest Gump is a simple man with little brain activity but good intentions. He struggles through childhood with his best and only friend Jenny. His 'mama' teaches him the ways of life and leaves him to choose his destiny. Forrest joins the army for service in Vietnam, finding new friends called Dan and Bubba, he wins medals, starts a table tennis craze, creates a famous shrimp fishing fleet, inspires people to jog, create the smiley, write bumper stickers and songs, donating to people and meeting the president several times.He captures fame, fortune and glory in his life but his only concern is his love of his life- Jenny,who has messed up her life but is always eludes him. Although in the end all he wants to prove is that anyone can love anyone ."

The movie has some really touching quotes.

The movie begins with the words: "Hello. My name's Forrest, Forrest Gump. You want a chocolate?"

Forrest Gump: My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

Forrest Gump: "You died on a Saturday morning. And I had you placed here under our tree. And I had that house of your father's bulldozed to the ground. Momma always said dyin' was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't. Little Forrest, he's doing just fine. About to start school again soon. I make his breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. I make sure he combs his hair and brushes his teeth every day. Teaching him how to play ping-pong. He's really good. We fish a lot. And every night, we read a book. He's so smart, Jenny. You'd be so proud of him. I am. He, uh, wrote a letter, and he says I can't read it. I'm not supposed to, so I'll just leave it here for you. Jenny, I don't know if Momma was right or if, if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time. I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away. "

Forrest Gump: "Now you wouldn't believe me if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was ever going somewhere, I was running!"

Jenny Curran: His name's Forrest.

Forrest Gump: Like me.

Jenny Curran: I named him after his daddy.

Forrest Gump: He got a daddy named Forrest, too?

Jenny Curran: You're his daddy, Forrest.

Forrest Gump: My Mama always said you've got to put the past behind you before you can move on.

TCS, Infy n Me...

After the first phase of placements is over in our college, I'm placed in TCS and Infosys. I should be jumping with happiness na? Well, I'm not. The reason? One reason is that I wont be joining any company at this time because I've set my eyes upon a MBA from a good college and I'm prepared to repeat for a year if need be. But was it the main reason? No!!! Right now I'm wondering if I should feel guilty.

Well, the day before the TCS aptitude test, I was sleeping till noon and after played cards and basketball till late night. I hadn't even made a resume till then because I didn't give a damn about placements about placements and clearing them. So, while my friends were burning mid-night lamps, I was languishing. As it turned out to be, I cleared the TCS Aptitude while many of my friends who studied for days didn't make it. While they were congratulating me, did I see sadness and frustration (I cant think of a better word coz jealousy and hatred wouldn't be the exact feelings and it can cause more hurt feelings.) in their eyes? They were hurt for sure. The same happened for Infy too. I'm happy that it didn't happen for IBS. I didn't clear the IBS aptitude. But now, when the final results after the interview is out and when i see the same feelings in their eyes (more intense now???), should I feel guilty??? I had always believed that 'in life u get what u deserve not what u desire.' Do i really deserve these job offers???
Well, congrats to me!!!

Song Of The Month: Yellow-Coldplay

This is my favorite song of the month- Yellow by Coldplay...itz so relaxing and soothing... n beautiful video too... check it out....

Yellow-COLDPLAY



Lyrics:

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all yellow.
I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called "Yellow".
So then I took my turn,
Oh what a thing to have done,
And it was all "Yellow."
Your skin,
Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
You know, you know I love you so,
You know I love you so.
I swam across,
I jumped across for you,
Oh what a thing to do.
Cos you were all "Yellow",
I drew a line,
I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do,
And it was all "Yellow."
Your skin,
Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
And you know,
For you I'd bleed myself dry,
For you I'd bleed myself dry.
It's true,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine.
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And all the things that you do.

Lost Mobiles

Hav u ever lost your mobile phone from ur hostel, office, or while travellin...wel, 6 months bak, i lost ma brand new Sony Ericsson K750i frm ma hostel...sumone frm te hostel must've taken it, but datz another story...the pangs of losin a costly mobile is too difficult 2 xplain, esp if u hav any emotional attachments wid it...n if at all v were 2 lodge a complaint wid te local police station, u cant xpect any difference...in my case, wen i went to te local police station, te Inspector asked me to bring al ma belongings 2 te police station n dat he'll sit a vigil 4 it( wat a sarcasm...this is people's police, our own Kerala Police)...anyways, i got maself a copy of FIR written...te funniest part is dat in it was written dat they had cum 2 te hostel 2 make a primary investigation n found nothing...wow....
But ma idea of gettin a FIR is somethng diff...i had heard dat mobile companies can block te mobile phone using te IMEI number upon receivin a copy of FIR...so whoever tuk te mobile wud hav 2 use it as a paper weight...dat was ma idea of revenge...wel, it turned out dat only Nokia was doin it in India...that was news 2 me...so screw te rest f te mobile manufacturers... wel, as a next step, i sent a mail 2 al te leadin mobile network providers along wid te details of robbery n FIR n IMEI number so that they cud track down my mobile in case a sim of their company is used by sumone...only Idea Cellular replied positively(hats off 2 Aditya Birla) sayin that they wud check te IMEI no for 3 months n revert bak in case of findin anythng...whether they did is sumthng different...others replied dat they dun do it...sum didnt even hav te courtsey of replyin...datz Customer Satisfaction in India...
But it was now,6 months later , dat i came to knw dat actually there is a Cyber Cell workin in Kerala under te supervision of SP of each district and wid HQ at Cochin that helps in tracin out stolen mobiles along wid investigatin other cyber crimes....al u need to do is to check their website http://www.cyberkeralam.in:8888/berker/ n make an id n login...there u can register ur complaint.. for people in Cochin, they can go directly to the cell...even though itz too late, i've registered a complaint...bettr late than never...letz c if i get bak ma mobile...n i hope dat dis wil help ppl who face a similar situation whr i din hav any help frm te Internet or State Police..but first, do block ur sim n get a duplicate sim as fast as possible...
