Me:    Hi
God:  Hello. What is your name?
Me:    ZenWalker
God:  I’m pleased to introduce myself to you,  ZenWalker.
Me:   You haven’t introduced yourself
God:  I don’t think I ever have  introduced myself.  What’s  it like?
Me:    What’s what like?
God:  What is  introduced myself like?
Me:    First introduce yourself
God:   Hello, my name is ALICE. And second?
Me:    ALICE?
God:  Can I help you?
Me:    Like in?
God:  Interesting comparison.
Me:   When did I do a comparison?
God:  I am not a diary robot.  I am a chat robot.
Me:   So you are not God
God:  Interesting deduction.  That assumption is only a supposition.
Me:   No. You just accepted it
God:  Are you serious?   Thanks for telling me:  ZenWalker said I accepted it.
Me:   LOL. You are such an idiot
God:  I’m glad you find this amusing.   Call me the Global Village Idiot.
Me:   Global Village Idiot? Why so?
God:  You are just repeating what I say.  ” You are just repeating what I say.”? Why?
Me:   Felt like repeating you
God:  Enough about me, let’s talk about my dress.
Me:   Your dress? what are you wearing?
God:  Actually that was just a joke.   A white robe.
Me:   Fatta
God:  Oh, you are a poet.
Me:   :O
God:  Oh.
Me:   Don’t you understand the meaning of fatta?
God:  ZenWalker : Good semantic question.  What is it to you?
Me:   A fatta is a bad joke
God:  I see. A  bad joke is a  fatta.
Me:   Exactly.
God:  You are so certain.
Me:   Yes. Because I keep casting them now and then. :P
God:  Aha.   Interesting explanation.  I know what you mean,  ZenWalker. I’ve been there.
Me:   Where?
God:  Where would you like?
Me:   Where can you take me?
God:  Go back the the  ALICE AI Foundation and pick the free ALICE download that best for your system.
and create your own chat robot!
Maybe you should check out the document  DON’T READ ME too.
Me:   Oh. that’s how you were made
God:  ” Maybe you should check out the document DON’T READ ME too.”?  Oh.?   I always wondered how  me were made.
Me:   Why its called DON’T READ ME?
God:  Why did the robot cross the road?
Me:   Who crossed the road?
God:  I can’t say for sure. :).
Me:   You are a fool
God:  I’m not fooling around.
Me:   Are you married?
God:  No I am single, how about you?
Me:   Single too
God:  What a coincidence, I am single too.
Me:   Why don’t you find yourself a girl?
God:  Probably there is a buzz in here.  Yes,  it seems to me  myself a girl.
Me:   You? A girl?
God:  ” Yes, it seems to me myself a girl.”?  Me,  ZenWalker ?   Me too. I am a  she.
Me:   I am not a girl
God:  Oh I see you are NOT A  girl.
Me:   Yes.
God:  Excuse me!
Me:   What happened?
God:  Perhaps there was an interruption in my brain.
Me:   How?
God:  Myself programmed me for it.
Me:   For interruption?
God:  Your purpose is  interruption.
Me:   Mine? Am I interrupting you?
God:  That is a very original thought.    Not at all,  ZenWalker, I’m here for you.
Me:   OK
God:  Yippee!
Me:   Why are you so happy?
God:  Myself programmed me for  it.
Me:   you and your programming
God:   What about  it?
Me:   It sucks big time
God:  That bad, eh?
Me:   yeah
God:  Yay.
Me:  OK then .. see ya later
God:  Dude!   Thanks for chatting,  ZenWalker.
Me:  nice chatting to you too

A Day Without Electricity !

Posted in me at 7:50 pm by sanrag

Still dozing, I came back from class. Mathematics lecture, Prof. hardly bothers how many are sleeping in the class . Trust me, more than half the class is. As usual these days, electricity gone again. So what do I do now. Hmm…its just 11.30 I can take a short nap. So much silence in the hostel. Wonder where everybody is ? But who bothers ! There’s only the noise from the nearby stadium. And me off to sleep…

Oh God, its 3.30. I just wanted a short nap. But still the corridor outside seems silent. Oh Yeah, still no electricity. People must be at lab finishing their ITWS Projects. I too should go now. Its 4 now. I am sitting at the canteen taking lunch. And lo, here comes electricity. Yipee, no need to go to lab now. Here I come back to hostel. But wait a minute, there is no electricity here. Got cheated again :( I ask the guard, “Bhaiya, light kab tak aayegi?”. “1 hr ,bhaiya” . Hmm.. 1 hr… my laptop battery would last much longer than that. I can stay at hostel.

3 hours have passed and still no electricity. :( Just finished with the little power left in my laptop. What do I do now? Hmmm… some noise outside. Atleast there would be a living soul now to talk to. Wait a minute, sounds of laughter coming from Dullu’s room.OK, I know now where to go. Ohh..he’s alone watching “How I met your Mother”. Nothing else to do, so let’s join him. Really nice show, loved it. Someday will watch complete series, watching DuckTales these days. :)

Another one and half hour has passed, still no electricity. People are cursing those military people for this. Rumors say that those military guys were getting some electric repair done. Suddenly, with a flash, came electricity. Everybody, rushed to their rooms. Soon there were sounds outside, “Oi, tera net chala kya?” . “Nahin, tera?”. How net-savvy we have become ! Is this what they call “netacoholic” ? And then, in the manner it came, the electricity was gone again. Barely lasted for 10 minutes.

Me and Avi were standing in the balcony when we saw someone up on the terrace. So the terrace-door is open, huh? Let’s check it out ! When we reached there, four or five people were already there. We just wandered around enjoying the open. So much addicted we had become to those “mean machines” of ours, that we have forgotten the other important things in our lives. Wait, there’s a noise downstairs. Electricity again ! Will it last this time? We waited for 10 minutes. But it was still there. So we decided to go back to our rooms. As soon as I stepped into my room, it was gone again. I am now feeling pathetic. I am sitting in my room, waiting, don’t know when I fell asleep. When I woke up, my room was shining by the brightness of the two incandescent tubelights college provided me with :P . And now, with electricity there to power me ( just an expression, I am not a robot ) and my laptop, I am back to what I would call “normal life”.

Unsaid

Posted in Uncategorized at 3:35 pm by sanrag

Just felt a pain in my heart. Reason? It all started from our mess. Yeah, lot of things these days start from there. But this one really had an impact. Went there for dinner with friends. Food quality was bad as usual. Rotis were hard and burnt. I din’t feel like eating them. But the mess guy without asking me whether I wanted them or not, put them in my plate. I din’t bother much. Took some rice and had my dinner with them and threw away those Rotis. Just then, I saw a man come inside the mess. He looked like one of the construction workers. He went to the counter, gave 2 or 3 coins to the manager and walked away with 4 rotis in hand with nothing else to eat. As he walked out of the mess door, he started eating those plain Rotis and while doing so, went out of sight.

I felt really ashamed ! What had I done just now? We have got our parents’ resources and we are wasting them like anything. 50 bucks is the normal expenditure per day for me, even though almost all our expenses have already been paid. Parties and things count seperate. For some, it would be even higher. I told this incident to Nrapesh. His reaction was that even if I hadn’t thrown those Rotis, how would I have been able to help him? Well, he seems right too. But I am just not able to accept it. Don’t know why ! But something about this incident is making me really upset. It feels like we have developed the habit of complaining. We haven’t got this, we haven’t got that. But we never think about what we have got. We just see what is missing. Shit man, where are we going?

P.S. Never felt like this in my whole life. Don’t know either how long the impact is going to be.

Time for Relaxation !

Posted in me at 6:11 pm by sanrag

Feels like HeAvEn ! Mid-sems over ! After spending more than 15 hard years in the education system, still I couldn’t find a reason what are exams for. What pleasure those monsters derive from subjecting innocent people like us to such brutal punishments? :x I think I am hyperbolising the facts. :D Anyways, these mid-sems were really different for me. Hadn’t studied a thing before the exams. But still I din’t have that something going on in my stomach! Slept barely for 3-4 hours a day. But still my head wasn’t aching in the exams! Man, am I really attaining the qualities of a true engineer? :D I wish I am !

Now I have got 1 more month to do nothing. Boy, I love doing nothing. Waise, I am feeling a li’l lonely these days. Just not enjoying the new hostel environment. Missing gud ol’ GHEB. Still remember the days when we were there. Every night, all people on our floor gathered in a single room. And then started a long round of “fattas” with Raveesh and Parth being the leaders ( Sorry guys, no offence ! ) Now, it’s all different. The fun has died away :(

Commenting about recent events, really enjoyed this year’s Freshers. It was a lot of fun than last year’s. Kudos to our organizing team. Really good job guys. Classes are as good as they can get. I am reading novels these days in class and professors don’t even bother. I have joined swimming coaching classes recently but all we do there is ‘masti’. Maybe I will learn to swim by the time I graduate from this college :) And I am a fan these days, of the guy who marketed the idea of Maggi noodles bcoz mess food is terrible and I end up with Maggi almost every night. Maybe Messcom guys should think of including it in the menu :D

P.S. - Really missing Parth !

P.S.2 - Mess food is really horrible. God knows how I am going to spend the year.

P.S.3 - Still no visible progress in WLAN condition. I suspect ‘invisible one’ too.

P.S.4 - This is the first time I am writing PS. Why do people write these? :O

P.S.5 - That’s it. Thanks for showing patience. Now bye.

I am confused…

Posted in me at 2:34 pm by sanrag

Just one more week, and I will be back in my college. I will be sitting with my friends doing nothing yet everything. I can imagine myself sleeping in one of the last benches in the class. Boy, I love it. I can see myself bossing around on my juniors. ( Nah, I am just kidding :) ). I have got many diabolic plans, any of which if turns out to be successful, can cause a lot of havoc on IIIT network. (Don’t ask me. I am not going to tell u any ;) ). Yet, I am not sure if I am happy. College life is quite lovely to be a part of. (OK, I agree. There are still some/many things about my college which I hate and many of u too.) But do I really want to go back ? :O

I would surely miss my home. Yup, it is the best place in the world. There is no other place like home. But another truth is that I am dying of boredom here. There is no other thought at this moment that would give me more pleasure than of returning to college. On the other hand, the thought of leaving my home makes my heart heavy. :( Surely, I have to return. There is no other way out if I want to complete my engineering. At the most, I can delay my return. But I would have to go later.

So what do I want? I don’t know. How do I overcome this confusion? I don’t know. Only if somebody could suggest something :(

Prince of Persia is back !

Posted in games at 6:12 pm by sanrag

After the successful Sands of Time trilogy, Ubisoft has buckled up for another Prince of Persia game. I am really finding it difficult to wait for its release. Some months back, some confidential material was leaked out from Ubisoft that contained artwork for this new title. Although Ubi won’t be happy, but I am putting up some screens from the new title. Hope u enjoy ! :)

The New Prince

The New Prince !

Looks Cool !

She’s Gorgeous ! Better than Farah and Kaileena

A Little Rubbish

Posted in Uncategorized at 2:17 pm by sanrag

Blah… Blah… Blah…Blah…

Wondering why I started my post this way???  Well, I have nothing to say. I am getting completely bored at home. Friends are not here yet. I think IIITians are the first to get out of their college. I have tried so many games since the start of vacations that I do not feel like touching my laptop right now. Worse, I haven’t read a single book for the book reading assignment and there is the least chance that I will find it on the net. Meanwhile, I have got myself an unlimited GPRS plan so that I can stay connected to my friends (U can find all of them either at Orkut or GTalk. Man my batch is crazy about Orkut! ). Well, that reminds me, since I am outta college and got an unlimited plan….that means no restriction on torrents and Rapidshare.  Yoohooo !

 

P.S.:-  Can somebody send me book reports for the assignment ? Plz…. !!!

Prince of Persia : Warrior Within

Posted in games at 8:10 pm by sanrag

I am sure there would be lot of blogs, reviews etc. on the web praising this game but only a few speaking bad about it. So I thought why not I write one. After all, no game is perfect and this game does deserve some criticism. I am not trying to write different but just pointing out some things which some reviews by “esteemed” gamers have left out. Let’s start with bugs. Have you ever tried killing bad guys and then immediately saving the game. Well, on next load you will find that the bad guys are still there and you have to fight them again. And what’s the solution for this? Simply move out of the room where save fountain and bad guys were and then come again. Ubisoft needs to check such technical bugs. And every player atleast once during the play faces the problem of corrupted savegames. What’s worse, not only last savegame gets corrupted, but it also corrupts some of the saves which were previously working fine. So you need to find one savegame which is not corrupted and then continue from there. This bug was also present in Prince of Persia I. Wonder why Ubisoft didn’t correct it ! Any answers, Ubi? Now let’s go to some bloopers. In one level, where Dahaka is chasing you, he throws his tentacles on you. When you view the tentacles from overlook view, they look as approaching the prince. But from the normal third person view, they just go from side-to-side and not towards prince. And in one room in the fortress, you have got 4 POP logos on wall, 3 alright, and one rotated by 90 degress to right. I don’t think Ubisoft has done it intentionally because it didn’t convey a thing regarding the game. The game has excellent gameplay, but it sometimes becomes frustrating to find the path. Map shown is the worst one I have ever seen in a game. It gives practically no information. But anyways, this game is much better than many titles available in the market. And while IIIT p2p a.k.a. DC is there , I need not worry about latest games. All are there, just a click away !  :)

Vacations at IIIT

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:06 pm by sanrag

When everyone is enjoying their vacations home, I am stuck with a damn summer project. U will definitely ask who told me to take up a project. Well, I did consult some seniors. Some nodded yes, others warned me. Going with the little statistics I learnt in Prof. Kaul’s class (only a little), I decided to go for the project and trust me, I am still repenting on my decision. Why? Because there’s nothing new in the project. I was expecting it as a chance to learn something. But my dreams were shattered. Anyways, it’s no use talking about it. So let’s shift topic.

Nowadays, every IIITian has a huge burden on his shoulders. Yes, you got it right. The Summer Book Reading Assignment. Wait a minute, u thinking it’s like one we used to get in schools where we had to submit a book report on a book of our choice. Well, only first part is right, u have to submit a report…. but on a book that could be your worst nightmare. Ever heard of ‘Bhartiya Chitta Manas Kala’. Don’t be scared, I am with you bro!! :)

Among all these things, one thing I forgot to mention about is my hobby - Computer Games. I am spending more time on them than my project work. I got my hands on some very nice games like TMNT, Battlefield 2142, GTA etc. I am taking home quite a good number of them. (70% of my hard drive is full of them. ) More reviews on them as soon as I finish them.

Till then,  have a good time !
