Law and Order - SVU

... Addictive.

Lost in Austen - mini review

Amanda swaps place with Miss.Elizabeth Bennet in this time travel series. Those who are familiar with Pride and Prejudice, here goes the spoilers..

• Bingley is drawn to Amanda, not Jane
  
• Collins marries Jane, not Lucas
  
• Wickham is a do-gooder, not a cad
  
• Caroline also confesses to be drawn to Amanda, not Darcy [Ahem]
  
• Lydia runs off with Bingley, not Wickam
• Inspite of all these mess ups, Mr. Darcy always always gets the heroine

There are lot of screw-ups, glaring mistakes, plus the final part was too rushed with several loose ends [personally Wickham was wasted]. If you can forget logistics, you can watch the series for a good laugh and some really good digs on old English ways.

Verdict- One time CATCH-IT

Heartthorb

I was casually walking through the corridor when I saw him coming from the opposite side and my heart skipped a beat, legs skipped a step [you get the general drift!]. He gave a smug smile and a side-ways look. OMG! Its not that I was waiting for him to pounce on me anytime. Okay! It was a definite possibility and it can happen so fast that I was not ready to risk it. I had to keep my eyes on him all the time until we were completely out of sight. In the meantime, I could feel my pulse rate increasing and started sweating [unromantic huh?!]. He finally passed me by and I kept looking back at him while walking faster when he suddenly turned back. Thats it!.. I reached for the nearest door, got inside real fast, banged it shut. Then leaned against it and slowly took a deep breath.

Guess, this is how Juliet felt everytime she looked at Romeo. Although she had a better taste in picking up a homosapien whereas I ended up picking its far away ancestor a.k.a monkey to give me a heart-attack

Mosquito Trap [Bat]

Instead of mosquitoes buzzing around us, we run behind the mosquitoes.

Hail our modern warriors.

Placements I

White collar is going to be interviewed in another month. He got himself registered. He is preparing his resumes wondering why his records are not crossing even a page. He sits for pre-placement talks. Sleeps through the presentation. Wakes up when compensation is mentioned. Imagines all the things that he will accomplish with 8.5 lacs + benefits + stocks + etc.
White collar does not want to think about how he has to slog to earn that money. It goes right off his head when a pseud company guy says you passionately work 48hrs and then sleep 48hrs. Mad or what?

Reflections - Season 2

Attempting to make the blog active again :D.

Why?
There might be a lot to talk/pour/crib about. I am at the beginning of the finish of my MS (Master of Science by Research for the uninitiated) at IIT-Madras. And I am bored of repeatedly answering junta about what, when, how and whys of my life.

Why today?
The first draft of the thesis with 90 pages is ready. [claps]

The blog-
Translated as "Morning Netherlands". It started out as a travel blog during my visit to the country. Probably will put my experiences now (after 10 months :D) that I am back home in India. (yup.. thats the lazy me for you)

Cheers to mirror-cracking writing!

Rain

time- 6am
place- department corridor waiting for the rain to stop along with few drenched crows

She thinks she does not want to get archanai when she reaches home looking like these wet crows. But she anyway drives her champ gleefully through the heavy rain.

time-6pm
place-apartment parking lot convincing amma with usual illogical reasoning that I do not need a rain coat

She again gets herself wet by the time she reaches the lab. Sits in the AC for the whole night.

Verdict- She has a temporary rain-obsessive disorder thats giving her a headache, probable fever and is immensely content with the day :)

The Fascinating "Paper"

Time - early morning after a night out
Situation - sitting alone with a comp in front, nobody online to chat with and any body around is asleep
State - you will understand by the end of this blog

Who claims that scientifically we use only a teeeeny bit of our brain in the whole span of our lifetime? I would ask him to write a bleedy research paper!. Excuse my language at 5 in the morning.

Technically I am capable of talking 100 words per minute [or at least make it sound that way] and I have been trained to learn new words, make it into gazillions of sentences from the minute I was put in school. So, why does writing a paper drains out all those out of your head?

Simplifying, the things that you accomplish by publishing your "idea" as a research paper
- you are a truckload of information about how bad other's "ideas" are
- subtley put, even if your brand new "idea" is 10 years old, you are always the proud owner of highly efficient, highly effective, highly innovative, profound "idea" [you catch on all the adjectives by ofcourse reading other papers]
- nobody, absolutely nobody, can question the logic/legitemacy of your experimental results. C'mon, your idea!, your experiment!, your result!.. how dare others doubt any of it.

The enlightened call IT a journey, large number of mortals complain IT as the biggest pain and an average like me has mood swings as an enlightened one and as a mortal. Guess who did the talking above ??

PS: This blog has a title, abstract, motivation, intro, explanation, conclusion in the justified format, a natural by-product of paper writing :D

Moment of Epiphany

What I am is the confused product of a semi puritanical upbringing and a liberal education. Which means that I think it's wrong for me to do anything, but I think it's perfectly all right for other people to do whatever they want. Does that make sense ?
