Today was the last submission of my engineering period. i will miss it forever. those long waiting periods for getting ur journal to get signed. hoping for the best grades. trying to increase ur marks( which hardly occur). but the thing that will be missed most will be chatting along with friends while waiting in the line.
everything that is good has to come to an end. unfortunately it has in case of my college.
i have heard of heaven and i experienced it in SPCE. never in my 17 years before joining SPCE
had i witnessed heaven.
i dont know how the future is going to be but i do know that for its the end of an era in my life.
as i now look forward to joining TCS, lets hope that my classmates which were all rocking enjoy their life to the fullest. i hope we keep on meeting even after we r all on different tracks in our life

Kiran's CV lecture
we always try to get things done in a jiffy... i.e. we always want shortcuts to our goal. but have we ever tried hard for a particular thing in life.
coming to the topic... we had a CV lecture... (god knows why i took CV...it is crap)
we wanted it to get over as soon as possible. sumeet and kiran katara were supposed to give a lecture on RLE implementation of connected componenets labelling. (dont give a damn to the topic..)
sumeet was his usual self... trying to get it done fast... ( he thought tht no 1 wanted to sit for the lecture)... but it was kiran who made the lecture really good. does any 1 these days make slides for a topic to be explained to others... the topic was made so simple by her...
it is a different thing that now we dont remember it but i do feel the need to give credit to her for the effort she takes in helping others..
maybe i will do that some day...

the art of bargaining
we being indians always bargain a lot on all kind of things. be it wrt to goods or some concessions or anything else. this article is written bcoz of the events that happened in goa.
we had gone to the flea market on the 2nd night there. i wanted to buy a bag desperately for my mom but i had limited amount of money. So i couldnt stretch the amount. therefore i started bargaining. but it seemed the shop owner would not relent. frustated i decided that maybe he didnt like my face.
i went around a few shops n then an idea clicked . why not take the help of girls. they anyways love shopping and so they must be experts in bargaining as well.
so i asked dikshita and kiran to help me out. and did it work ?? oh yes the shopkeeper straight away gave away the bag for rs.60 only.
thanx dikshita and kiran
anyways thats not the end .
Jinen[ :)) ]according to me is the best bargainer around. on the 4th morning when we were all shopping around for junk bracelets and necklaces, he bought many of them at unbelievably low prices. the way he bargained (talking in gujarati with the lady - she was gujarati as well, sitting on the her table chatting along ) mesmerised me.
then in train while returning back he saved santosh by bargaining the amount of fine with the TC for 10% of the original fine (Rs. 500).
therefore i say that bargaining is art possesed by few and those who have it r really blessed :))

the future is WIRELESS
u always find urself surrounded by wires everywhere.
Be it ur telephone wires or computer cables or electricity lines.
so when I work on our project i wonder when the day will come when everything will be without wires i.e. WIRELESS.
as far as our project goes, we faced problems in making the wireless cards run in linux. most of the cards were compatible only with Windows. after that the next problem we faced was measuring the throughput and other parameters like delays, retransmissions,etc. Here also we faced problems with incompatibility issues. (the main cilprit being linux again )
ow that we have overcome all this problems we r finding the project really interesting bcoz the throughput in case of wireless LANs is more than a 100 Mbps ethernet line for the same no of users. we were shocked to see this result but then we got it verified from the our prof.
i hoope that i make my own little contribution to the future of mankind by our BE project
