From the diaries of a search addict – Part 1

Posted in 1 tagged at 9:29 AM by Tushar

Well its official now – I have been acquited of not being a Homo sapiens but a machine built to devastate the infrastructure of a company that is the “Karta-dharta” (sounds different, nice :) ) of the Web. No “Billy” I am not talking about BiNgInG on you. Well I should cut the crap, and as they say an image speaks for a 1000(no ……umm…..one followed by a hundred zeros, ) words, see it to believe it:

No longer a Homo sapiens

P.S.-1) Got to reduce addiction, need a rehab.
       2) Please modify the definition of Homo sapiens (or the machine…..any of them will do) :P

I was surfing the net , when I came across this page. This was specially interesting as my condition was the same as the person who was performing this humourous and interesting experiment. Check out the link below:

Introducing Nokia Morph………

Posted in Nokia Morph tagged at 7:34 AM by Tushar

Well while I was surfing the net, I came up with Nokia’s R&D Project on Nanotechnology. The aim is to create a cell phone which is an outcome of the fruits of nanotechnology. Well the pictures speak for themselves.

This is the cellphone working in the normal mode, however there are two other modes, to which the phone can be “twisted“.

Thinking OpenGuru….

Well this is not bad for a first time DBMS project ……….isn’t it, actually it was done more as an effort to learn PHP-MySQL , which has been a part of my Course for this Semester (and which I have grossly negelected………). So, I  felt doing something like this will atleast make me feel “better” in this regard and in fact it does feel good. The whole setup is that of an Online Quiz Portal (is it really so…….well didn’t get any other phrase). I used session variables in order to implement this setup. Below are the Screenshots :

So, while implementing this, I did learn quiet a lot (provided learning it can be possible in 3 days ……..conditions apply) about PHP-MySQL and even found it interesting, perhaps I am tempted to say that it has probably been the most creative and satisfying work of the Semester, though I believe most people won’t agree with it. Also, you can are urged to suggest improvements to it, afterall “Change is constant and nothing else”.

A statement that was to be…..

Posted in Thoughts tagged at 10:28 PM by Tushar

It had been quite a long time since I have created this account… and I was pondering as to what was the use of Blogging (no pun intended)…… In fact I was not getting the basic essence/requirement of this internet-created need. But actually I finally decided to put somethin on the “display” (as the times of paper have gone…….. well……. in this way I am perhaps helping the cause of PRAKRITI… :D ). Well………. I am here writing this Blog  on the eve of a week highlighted  by all sorts of unpalatable things(read, Tests man!!! I hate this word ). And here there is this bloke who is keepin on interruptin me with his gimmicks….. Well off late I have come  under a lot of accusations-be it, using other’s slippers or disrupting the solace of the class.

  • Be it some people say I am not a good sport. Well-Why?? Just because I dont participate in Something which the public tries to use as a Drug to Relieve the already torrid life of theirs…….. behind all that glitterati I believe lies this basic fact. For some the basic reason is “Oyye!! we will learn a lot”- quite right, from flying aeroplanes to cooking food. The most interesting phenomena being that of Old Wise Men (I dont agree, atleast with the middle word…..) being taken care of in a way which every chap of our college wants to be taken care of in the dias-(FACT-.selection for this high priority process starts right behind the four walls at the other end of the oval….. ). And yes you are quiet the list of reasons go on and on………
  • Now lets come back to the class, people starting hue and cry over things like “United we stand, divided we fall”- well this is even understood better by a High school student, but again there has to be a difference between a high school kid and a Sophomore…….And here comes this tall guy…..”I had announced in the Group to Bunk classes…..you bastard….” (last word was added to aggravate the situation…….). The biggest joke being that People who don’t even understand the value of “that word” pretend to become Saviours of  “it”…….
  • While mentioning so many things I forgot to mention my wing, they call it “PowerHouse”,  well I prefer to call it the most LoNeSoMe Wing of my Hall, sometimes it feels quite nice actually. Behind all that air of uncertainity(read smoke) lies a layer of positivity(well can’t afford more than a layer, recession takes its toll on everyone, err…. except Bappi Lahiri……).
  • Then there is this guy. Mythology says He was dropped by the bird(in Christianity it brings the child to its parents…..forgot its name, perhaps the stork……… well a good way to conceal the Biological process……..:)) into the room of this Sir of my Department and since then it has become his Second Home…..well donno where the first is…..Also  there are a lot of stuffs like a gal gettin pinged by a guy who supposedly assumes her to be somethin they call as Chaos Representative…….(no comments)

The last  one though was not an accusation……but more of what is called Food 4 Thought :P ……(now the question is for whom?). After typing in this much I perhaps feel I got the answer to the “essence” question I raised at the beginning. Well I guess this is enough for my first Blog. Bye…
