the orange county

March 21, 2006

the oc.

new series in IIIT.

actually this is the first soap / drama’ish series that I have ever seen. mostly I watch comedy stuff like “Whose line” and “Everybody loves Raymond” and scrubs and ….

However, the orange county is pretty good. Well worth a watch. I say this mostly because I just saw 10 episodes on the trot and spoilt all plans for a good night’s sleep. its probably going to be a good morning’s sleep now.

And on series … Scrubs is pretty funny. IMHO its as funny as friends. NOw I know that some purists would say that FRIENDS is the best comdy and to them i’d say, watch “Whose line is it anyway”. That is what comedy is about.

Speaking of whose line, I am reminded of the performance on cult. night.  brilliant improv style comedy, it was really funny. the best moment of cultural night.

Speaking of nights and IIIT activities amalgam and farewell are coming up. I would thereby propose that we get nice food on both those joyous occasions. So, everyone in favour of the above mentioned motion say ‘aya’ in the comments. Everyone against, prepare for the bash of the millenium (pun intended).

CS and football

March 8, 2006

What if CS clans played football?? It’d be like this …

Hello and welcome, to the first round football match between the cows and the dont trust anyones. Myself, A. Sriram will be your commentator for this extravagant feast of dashing devilish and dastardly brilliant soccer. On the left, the Cows (who eat grass) playing with the uniform with udders on it. On the right is DTA led by Austin 3:16 who has come in only *SHOCKED* his underwear to the match. Oh !! Wait !! Sorry !! That’s what he wears while wrestling.

The cows will start with Butcher taking the kick-off along with Matrix. the man with the menhir is standing at defense ready to pulverize any DTA with that menhir of his. true_shot is keeping goal. CeG seem to have found an excellent goal keeper there, he has definately got half the goal well covered. DTA have started out in a standard formation, Goldberg playing with Player on the left, Austin 3:16 in the center, looking to smash the brains out of cyclothymia. Zaknaf3in seems to be in a floating position, more like a flying goalie. Streak’s position is yet unclear.

Butcher kicks off, passes to cyclothymia. The ball is interepted by player and he is running towards the CeG goal. No !! Wait !! He is tackled by obelix whose brilliant foot movements have left player confounded. obelix passes to butcher. butcher butchered by Austin 3:16. they are carrying him off on a stretcher now. Austin 3:16 passes to goldberg but matrix pulls out some matrix style moves and kicks the shit out of goldberg.

matrix with the ball now, going to the DTA goal. Zaknaf3in tackles, and matrix knocks the shit out of him too. HOLD IT !!!. Guess who beats the shit out of matrix. Yeah, its player. so for the second time player with the ball. Oh Crap!!!. COLLISION!!! player collides with cyclothymia. both have been knocked out unconcious. three people running to the ball now. Austin 3:16, goldberg and obelix. WOW!!!. Thats the first time I have seen a three way scuffle. Punches are being traded. There are some serious swear words being uttered. Oh My God !!! The shouting is immense. Hey, just a sec. That’s anony shouting from the benches. Someone get him out of there.

Back to the action now. All I can see is that goldberg and obelix have been knocked out and obelix’s menhir is in the air. Austin 3:16 is doing his victory dance. He is beating his chest. He has just killed off two people (one of his own team) and seems to be in a pretty jolly mood. **CRUNCH**. that was Austin 3:16’s skull being mashed by obelix’s falling menhir.

And now, Streak is here. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Please put your hands together for Streak. Streak charging towards the CeG Goal. Oye Oye, butcher has respawned. How did that happen?? “Abe oo, Einstein, this guy is flouting physics baap. Stop him.”. while I was conversing with Einstein Streak tackled butcher and he is now heading straight for the goal. Only true_shot between Streak and the goal. Steak shoots. Brilliant shot. Going straight to the goal from the half-line. Unbeliavable accuracy. Hey, gyani_tharwani call the bookies. Tell them to put a 100 grand on DTA, now. NOW Goddammit. The ball’s almost in. Hurry up.

HOLD THE PHONE. true_shot is moving. oh my god … he is aliveeee. The ball has hit his stomach. Its going back to the DTA Goal.

gyani_tharwani: I placed the bet Sriram.
No!! No !! No!!. Somebody, Stop it. Somebody, Anybody …

Please …

Please .

bunglebot and rnd

BUNGLEBOT

i took robotics this sem. actually, sid said its a very easy course and you can easily do it. no midsems / endsems. only making a robot. turns out making a robot aint as easy as it looks. especially for cse ppl.

anyway here is a pic of version 2.0 of bunglebot (yeah, tipo, i could not think of a better name). yeah, its amphibious :D .  anyway, just found out that robotics final submission got postponed. HURRAY. (blame sid for horrid photography).
bunglebot

(Ps – i’d like to thank yaar, peesu, sairaj, komar etc.. for their help. w/o them bunglebot would not be moving around)

RND

R and D showcase is over. Its not all fun and games their. Its quite a pain to stay in the main building, in a hot room, explaining the same thing over and over again. The only thing that makes it worth it is when someone actually asks something interesting or listens closely and tries to screw you. Thats what makes it interesting.

Monga rocked at explaining. Man, that guy has enthu to explain. I on the other hand dont care as much. (also, much obliged to manish for picking up my slack).

Of course, this year it seems like there were way fewer people.  I still dont understand why it was advanced to the day when bush was coming. I guess ppl did not come because of that. No industry guy came to see our project :( . Also, I dont understand why the ppl who had to show stuff were not told that it would start at 1300 on the first day.

Coderupt – IOHC

took part in IOHC – intl online hacking contest at techkriti. it was seriously a fun contest. actually maaroed a night out for it. (cant believe that).

PS – new canteen is pretty good.

PS1 – how many people have not heard of the term golgappas

PS2 – i am cheerful while writing this. wow.

PS3 – weather has improved.
