It has been a dozy, dopy, jerky month. Few more days to go and yours truly move into the last month of this Semester, which would conclude 2-2 (un)happily.
What all I did not do … ?
Cheers! Ciao ...
The Semester so far has been pretty hunky-dory as far as my academics and other activities are concerned. Here is a synopsis of all the things I did and the things which I did not do.
1. I slept a lot, much to the disgust of my parents.
2. I became “the first one in the history of IIT Roorkee to become the “Opera Campus Crew Initiator” at my College”, as Opera people put it. I feel elated.
3. I have finally planned to do an Intern. Though it would be a travesty to do it when one is in his Sophomore years. Still there are many other reasons which are forcing me to do an Intern. I have applied for it at a couple of places. The result is awaited. Though, my love for my family and my dwelling place at Dehradun is persuading me to stick with my Dad’s Workplace at DRDO. DRDO is not bad either. If it gets finalized with DRDO, the topic which I am going to work on is, “Developing and implementing an efficient algorithm in C++ and using Star CCM+ for computation of thermodynamics and geometrical properties of Polyelectrolytes by incorporating different system conditions.”
4. I successfully managed and organized an Online cryptic hunt named, LOGIX 2.0 during Cognizance 2010, the annual tech fest of IIT Roorkee. The appreciations which I received from people all around makes me feel cock-a-hoop. It was a indeed a big success.
5. I am gleeful after securing second position in an event named “Chemomania” during Cognizance 2010 (The annual tech fest of IIT Roorkee). I hope I do get the mentioned cash award and a certificate! The event was structured on the lines of big companies like Shell, Schlumberger, BG, etc, as people told me after which I felt like participating in it. There were three rounds – first, the written quiz followed by a Group Discussion on a given Case Study, and finally the Presentation round and the cross-questioning session. The event was duly adjudicated by hon’ble Professors from Chemical Engineering Department.
6. I also feel elated after the Company I am involved with, i.e “eBullient Info Tech” is about to complete its first task of designing an Alumni Portal for the IIT Roorkee Alumni of North America. The static version of the site is already launched with many things still under construction. Go to site: http://www.iitraana.org. The remaining features would be completed within a fortnight or so.
7. I did write a lot of tweets and buzz’s. I remained inactive as ever on Orkut, except writing scraps to my sweet sis. Facebook, however, still remained my first choice followed by Twitter and Buzz. Though I cannot apprehend the obviousness of finding the twitter fad so low in India.
8. I, yet again got a brand new celebrity crush. This time yours truly has gone ga-ga over Ke$ha (Do check the pronounciation. Her wrong pronounciation narks me off.) . All day and night listening to her songs, watching her videos and publicizing her debut Album, “Animal” says it all. I love the dollar sign on her wrist, and her scrappy hairstyle. You rock, Ke$ha!
1. I did not manage to get 90+ attendance in any of my scorned courses. With every subject hovering in the range 70 to 75, I managed to keep it 90 plus only in Economics. The lowest being Material Science which is getting as low as 60 (my love for Meta overpowered by my love for Chemical). Though the Prof’s attendance in it is not even 50 plus. *Grins*
2. I did not stop drooling over the opposite gender, and stop flirting with some random people on the Internet.
3. I did not get any position in one of the event named “Freakonomics” organized by ShARE- IITR, which was completely mismanaged, and full of politics and nepotism. The judges were completely unaware of the theories of Steven Lewitt (the author of the book, named Freakonomics). Even the audience was looking for some freaky economics innovation rather than appreciating the stuff which involved Steven Lewitt’s theories. I with two of my friends, Siddhartha and Priyank, presented our views on IPL by incorporating all the theories and hypothesis of Steven Lewitt. Even after this, the judges and audience were not even able to make head and tail out of it, and consequently looked totally dumb. Our way of presenting was also awesome. We awoke the sleeping audience during our presentation. After all this when one doesn’t get anything, one would definitely get annoyed. In fact, ShARE-IITR is a big phony organization doing nothing and just enjoying idiotic bummer amongst themselves.
4. I did not receive any mail from few big names where I was expecting my immersion during the Summer holidays for training purposes. However, I am happy training at my Dad’s workplace at DRDO forsaking those big names, finally.
5. I did not go on a date with anyone. By anyone, I make it clear that I am focusing only on the female gender. Two odd years with no one whom I find *worthy* to take here at R, I think I should rather wait. May be, something “bigger” and better awaits! I am sorry, if that offends someone.
6. Finally, the most important one. I did not begin studying for my Second Mid Term examinations starting from next Monday. I need to begin it as soon as possible before it is too late.
P.S: I also find immense pleasure in congratulating my Dad for winning the prestigious DRDO award for the “Most outstanding Performance”. Indeed, it is seriously a big thing to be awarded infront of famous personalities and scientists. I hope I do learn something from it, and use it for my self improvement. Congrats dad!
P.P.S: Doing and not doing is a darn farce for the some, and not for the other. However for me it was neither of the two. I loved writing it. Moreover I am, yet again, addicted to Soft Drinks. Yes, yes the Summer has come again! Darn! I don’t like it, do I ?
