28.09.08

Today was a fun day again. I woke up about 12. Puja shopping again. I went to South City with my sister. Well! I convinced her to buy me a jeans, a "Moustache" in fact. The previous day I saw Moustaches getting sold for 800 odd at highland park.Assuming that the price will not vary much with place,we went to South City. But it was not the case. Moustache prices seems to touch the sky here [at least for us]. But my didi bought me one. It costed 1300 odd but was really beautiful.
We had other things to shop too. I bought a "Nike" deo for myself and Didi bagged a perfume bottle from "Archies Galary" for our dad.

Shopping at there being over,we retired for "The Metropolis" again. Didi purchased a deo for herself and a t for Nayanda there. We had a lot of fun and finally returned home at around 7:30. Didi was very kean to watch "OM SHANTI OM" being telecast on the television. and I adjusted myself in front of the computer screen.

Shoppin Day

The KD exam was so so. I tried all but the last question was from "paging and segmentation". I tried to make that portion into my blunt brain the previous day. but I failed but as it was expected and correctly apprehended by Gorai, it was set into the paper and I failed to draw the diagram, I did write some gibberish in its place although. Apart from this, the test was fine, much better than that was expected.
We got informed that the elab will take place as usual, extremely reluctant after the much needed fatigue release, we especially Souvik tried to postpone the class, but all his and our efforts went to vain as NKD [misread to be a nice man by Souvik],the controller of the labs denied strongly. Our experiment was not at all a hard or time consuming one so we packed up early and got our circuit diagrams checked by SH, it was needed because she was one of the most unpredictable teacher, and we cant afford to waste our time in order to get our copy signed by her, on the eve of the electronics and materials tests. However I was on a hurry to leave the college, and in haste I forgot to pick up my clipboard, lab manual and umbrella. The first two was smartly collected by Beji but the third got lost.
I was in a haste because I had a plan to go to Highland Parks in order to complete my Puja Shoppings, Panu accompanied me in this journey. We finally left for there at about 7:30. And after a lot of troubles we finally reached there. I bought 2 jeans from Koutons and one from Passport. Happy with the shopping we returned to our home. Panu had plans to stay at our place that day much to my delight. The day ended with fun.

"Gnat" Marathon

Today has been a all mag day. Now by magging, I obviously do not mean that I am going to snipe an odd of 100 people with an AWP in hand only to get prosecuted the next day with an allegation of mass murdering. Mag means Studies here, or rather "Gnat" would be the more appropriate word here. So I woke up with mental preparations, thanks to KD. Then I started to mag at about 11 am or so, things went on smoothly initially but as time went on my "main memory" started refusing to cooperate. I was sitting in front of those xeroxes and was uttering those words written on them as loudly as possible so that they may penetrate my eardrum and get embossed in my brain. But things did not take place as I expected and I ended up with forgetting almost everything I read. God knows what will happen tomorrow.
 I also have a plan of shopping trousers from the "Highland Parks" tomorrow. The "Pujas" are almost there and I have not completed my shoppings yet. The primary reason behind it is lack of time. Time has been zooming past me this week. Thanks to all of our teachers. 
Tomorrow is Aman's birthday and I will have to plan what I will gift him, Talking about Aman, some people accuses him to be a little indifferent towards emotions. But I dont think so. Yesterday, when I was busy in the drawing class he and Panu did something that I can only expect from my mom, sis or Priyabrata. They arranged my instruments and put them tidyly inside the bag. As I have said earlier small things move me more than the bigger events do. Thanks to both of them. While talking about Aman's Birthday gift, I suddenly realised that I have not yet given the gifts to Goraiman and Siddhartha. I will have to purchase the gifts as soon as possible because to me Souvik's idea of giving them a cake failed to convince me. I dont know when I will be able to. 
I have started playing CS again and found that my reaction time has become awful. Although it still requires 2 bullets for me to kill an opponent but it is taking a hell lot of time to aim. An expected outcome of not being in touch for almost an year. But surprisingly I explored that I have not still forgotten the recoil techniques of CV and Carbine. I tried mag also but again I discovered that I can never be Aman

Pidgin

Today I installed Pidgin!!. Its nothing but a simple chat platform like Skype or Meebo. Difference with Meebo is that instead of being fully online it has to be installed. I think I am not being able to express myself. What I am trying to mean is that, it runs in your computer instead of some online server. With Pidgin you can get logged in simultaneously into several instant messengers eg Yahoo mail, Gtalk, AIM etc in one application. Extremely useful for us who have limited RAM. The interface is pretty, but initially I found it rather a bit complicated much like other GNU open source applications. But the basic operations are simple enough. I was eager to test it on someone, but Sorvaja poured cold water on my excitement as he logged out almost as soon as I logged in. Souvik was there online but as expected, he was not responding. I reckon that poor fellow has either gone to bed or is chatting with someone special. I tried to create some custom smiley but it didn't work. But the main reason behind me installing Pidgin was to see who have blocked me, and to my utter surprise it came out to be Subhayan, once best friend of mine, no other guy apart from him blocked me which is also a matter of astonishment for me. But with Pidgin, the primary reason for me to use Gtalk will not get satisfied as I am not going to get the orkut scrap notifications there. So I'll have to continue to use Gtalk. Another cool feature about this software that unlike the Gtalk application, it has the "invisible" status there. A facility that Gtalk [although not the Gtalk from within Gmail] failed to provide. I renamed some of my friends in some funny names, eg:- I renamed Somangsu as "Bagh kore chi chi". It was fun though it lead me to waste my precious time, and now I have only 3 pages of "KD" done... Amen

24.09.08

God bless Debraj!! he saved us from Shibaji by informing him about the class test schedule at right time. With such responsible people at side, who can demand more. Another nice observation is that at last other people of the class have started taking some responsibility. Once again sincere thanks to Debraj and whoever was with him. With such people in class, I wonder how am I leading the "most responsible guy" poll. I can't remember of a single responsibility that I've taken. Once again thanks to my "unpredictable" memory, I always forget important events and appointments. But that's Gorai who gave me the information. Dunno whether he was kidding or not.

The day was a comparatively better one with no scheduled class test, although "KD" is knocking at the door. But who cares to think about that before the last moment. I woke up at nearly 11:00 o'clock and the first face I saw was of a "rang mishtri". Well!! I was a little bit surprised seeing him, but soon I realized that our house is getting painted. As usual I rushed to the college, although I had no reasons to hurry today, the only class that I had to attend was that of Nipu Modak, but then it has become a habit for me. The 1:35 Baruipur local kept me standing on the station for at least half an hour, on reaching Jadavpur, I first submitted the telephone bill, and then sauntered into the university with a Coke in hand. It was 2:55 then so I was perfectly in time, Gorai being responsible enough, brought the " bush-pin" assignment with him, the only headache was that, whether Nipu will conduct the viva as a revenge or not, but Nipu thought otherwise. Instead he told us to finish the "belt-pulley" within the class interval. By not repeating the mistake that we do over and over and still don't learn,we took that order seriously, but still failed to finish the assignment completely within the class. I mean it was almost done but the dimensioning portion was left. But Nipu behaved sympathetically this time, And told us that we can submit the assignment any day within the next Tuesday. But instead of sighing in relief,we took the job even more seriously and almost finished it. Gorai explored today that he draws quite well, and frankly speaking apart from those misaligned lines, his drawing was far better than me. I had to draw the hatched lines for Crunchy, the chap was seriously under pressure at the beginning of the class, as his previous assignment was not finished, but this buddy simply denies to learn, at the moment Nipu told us that there's no need of submitting the assignment that day, all his seriousnesses evaporated. I requested him to complete the job in the class but he replied," kata na!! ar valo lagche na". Well! I think he loves to get under pressure. No comments further.

There were not all roses, I lost my protractor. And that made me to throw the pencil in my hand in disgust. But all well that ends well!! now if I be able to read a considerably large portion of KD's syllabus, I will regard this day as the best day for me in this month

The 4th week of September :(

The week turned out to be a total disaster for me. Yes!! total disaster what I mean. Firstly, when you aren't prepared at all, a tough day at desk doesn't bother you much because you know that that's what you deserved,for depending entirely on cheating.It may or may not go fair. But when you are fully prepared, and still the test goes wrong, it really hurts. Awful thoughts comes into mind. A sense grows inside that the time wasted for that subject could have been utilized in a much more efficient way.That's what happened with me, I entered the class with sufficient preparation, with all the formulae and concepts in my mind backing me.But suddenly I explored that the teacher was ready to screw us, and set a paper, which could only be solved if the time allotted was at least 2 hrs.But unfortunately the time limit was only 50 mins or so, and the teacher collected the paper even before the completion of the allotted time. Things could never have been worse,as I sat at the edge of the desk, and so had very little opportunity to cheat. I came out trying 5 among 6, but only 3 among them seemed to be correct. So the hope of getting an S in maths almost dies here.

Nipu Modak was very much irritated with us as Sagar shewed his butt to him. The poor fellow argued that we would rather have informed him that we are not going to attend the class. And as a revenge he arranged a "surprise test". To add to the injury I forgot to bring the copy containing those formulae of "belt-pulley" and immediately got marked by an enraged Nipu [he wants to date girls although he is married, seems he is not as "innocent" as he appears]
after the submission of the paper, we came to know that depending on what we have written in the paper, we are going to get evaluated. I scored D+. viz. the lowest possible grade. Thanks to my "formidable" memory.

I got caught red handed by GS while smoking in the class. The arrogant fellow was not supposed to be there at the recess, but again thanks to my "good" luck. He threatened me to inform the head. But I reckon he still have not done anything.

There are more things to go. My "bold" classmates forgot to inform Shibaji sir about the class test.And I am sure that another "chat" is waiting for us from Shibaji sir.

Meanwhile the only positive side has been the test of MR. It seems that it has gone fair.At least I think so.
