Ok...I actually wanted to write something about the Goat(in continuation with my previous post) but, I happened to take a look at Fish's introspective questions. Given his usual helplessness, this is yet another attempt at helping him..Fish, your answers are:
1. You are a jerk who is present where you are, at the time when you're required to be, with all the necessary things you're supposed to have and expected to do the right thing. What's the right thing to do? That's for you to figure it out!!
2. The same applies to me as well!
3. This question's answer will fetch us more than what the Reimann Hypothesis solution would do...so forget it.
4. I guess you're supposed to know that!!
5. You like them because they remind you of something that you recently came into possession of!! (When you bunked the lectures!!)
6. That's because you've understood neither of them.
7. Because, when you start applying formulae like 3*3=6 and 3+3=9, you forget almost everything that you learned from your kindergarten days. That also means you've forgotten how to read!! On a serious note, you've barely had time dude!
8.Because that's how it's supposed to be..
9. Because that's the first step to a better future for you. Remember:
"The Wisdom Of The Backbencher Be That Of The Gods!"-Madman
10.Yes! since no one's all 100% smart and no one's all dumb!
11. Don't doubt that! Even you know that beauty is deeper than the skin..
12./13. I guess you're supposed to know those answers..
14./15./16. You're suffering from the S-syndrome.
17. Everyone has an obsession..you have it in guitars..
18. Certainly not!
19. "Everything that has a beginning has an end"-The Oracle, from The Matrix Revolutions.
20. So that you get a written form of all these answers which otherwise you'd get orally from me in the college. Ponder on these if you care to get deeper.
My question: Who are the people you're referring to in the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of what you've written beneath the questions?
I hope you got you're answers and you "did the needful".

Friends
This post is dedicated to a few of my friends, most of them are from the Information Technology branch at our Institute. Today, I don't know why, I'm feeling the brief loss of communication with these people very much. May be it's because I had one of my rare thirty-second-talks with the Invisible Woman, or more so because I met Prat and didn't join him for occasional our bus ride homeward. Anyways, this class of about 70 students(?) I know is filled with lots of talent representing young India!! Some really impressive ones are:
Prat: One of my closest friends ever since I set my feet in this institution. Prat and Mr.K have many similar features (like football). Prat's specialty is that he doesn't need to strain much with anything to study. I remember, in our first years, instead of using the evening time like how most of us do, Prat used the early morning, especially the time from three to six. What most people achieve throughout the evening, is done by this fellow in just three hours flat! And he does get away with beautiful scores. Thats the academic part of him. He's crazy about football and his game console. I've always observed something novel in what he says, not the stuff that every Tom,Dick and Harry would tell you. And yeah, he's cut out for pursuing an MBA degree ahead. I hope that's from IIMA, because anything other than that would not fit him. Every vacation, I spend some real good time with him, watching the latest releases. It's just sad on the part of life that there barely is any time to be spent with people other than your classmates!
Metal: One fine lady...a person who, I feel, intimidates the small-timers by her wonderful brain. Metal happens to be the only person I knew before entering the college. She's extremely fond of debating and considers me to be a loser in that game ever since we lost a competition in our first year! ;) Nonetheless, she's a person for whom I have a deep respect. She too, is a cut above the rest. Not at all the omnipresent social-butterfly, this semester she has been even more difficult to catch..and that earned her the new name. She's nuts when it comes to reading and writing. Fish told me once that she used to write for some big shot magazine(unfortunately, I don't remember which one), which is evident going by the way she writes articles.
George of the Jungle: One of my "brothers"; we schooled from the sister branches of the same institute. Another football fan, and Prat like guy. would spend least time with books and get away with some of the best scores. He was the first K.V. guy I met here; and very easily identifiable thanks to his Delhiite accent. "Brothers" do bond very fast, and so did George. I'd love to spend one beautiful evening with the entire gang at Gupta's!
Bandu: I'd rather term him the Dark Horse, coz he always knows everything, and teaches everything to the kids, and yet gets scores that he should not. He got hitched a while back, with the Baby Elephant; nice couple there. Bandu has a wonderful knack of cracking weird jokes. HL was the result of one of those. His antics are always worth watching, like the fitting workshop comedies!! Has Grey matter meant for programming. Wonder what his plans are...
For the time being, lemme stop here..will list more heroes ahead...

The Illusionist
My heartiest thanks to Abhilash, my brother's colleague, who's helped us with some real fine movies from his IITK database. Although he did give some dumb ones like Serendipity and Love Actually, this one was really different. So this one is about the 2006 movie, The Illusionist. I must say, this movie was brilliant; dunno why it didn't make it great here. The movie is set in 19th Century Vienna, and the set up beautifully resembles it.
Eisenheim the illusionist(Edward Norton) is a famous magician whose tricks are so perfect that it becomes almost impossible to discover the truth behind them. The way they're shown in the movie is flawless. He's into this ever since as a teenager when he saw a traveling magician. During his younger days, by virtue of his obsession with magic tricks, he develops a friendship with the young Sophie who is the Duchess von Tuschen(Jessica Beil). Although prohibited to meet each other on account of her high rank, the two sneak out to a hide-out in the woods. Eisenheim plans to travel to China to learn more tricks. One day, they're caught by the Duchess's castle guards(presumably under her family's directions) and separated once and for all.
Eisenheim leaves his home and travels far and wide and returns to Vienna after 15 years, now as a professional magician who has an uncanny ability to perform tricks. One day, the crown prince Leopold, along with his partner Sophie attends Eisenheim's show.

Eisenheim leaves his home and travels far and wide and returns to Vienna after 15 years, now as a professional magician who has an uncanny ability to perform tricks. One day, the crown prince Leopold, along with his partner Sophie attends Eisenheim's show.
Eisenheim and Sophie, having recognized each other, meet privately and finally consummate their love. After humiliating the Crown Prince during a private show, Eisenheim finds his hit performance shut out of
Leopold finds out from Uhl(the chief inspector), who was following the couple, that Sophie has met with Eisenheim. While drunk, Leopold confronts Sophie and accuses her of being a whore. She tells him that she will not marry him or have anything to do with his plan. When she attempts to leave, he murders her in the stables with a sword-cut across her neck. Unfortunately, Leopold's Royal status makes any accusations against him unthinkable, despite an existing belief among the people that Leopold has murdered a woman in the past. As Eisenheim plunges into despair and the citizens of
Wracked with grief, Eisenheim prepares a new kind of magic show, using mysterious equipment and Chinese stagehands. Eisenheim purchases a run-down theater and opens a new performance. During his show, Eisenheim apparently summons spirits, leading many to believe that he possesses supernatural powers.
Leopold decides to attend one of Eisenheim's shows in disguise. During this show, Eisenheim summons the spirit of Sophie who says someone in the theater murdered her, panicking Leopold. Uhl pleads with Eisenheim to stop, but Eisenheim refuses; he is bent on avenging Sophie and destroying the Crown Prince. Finally, Leopold orders Eisenheim's arrest, but when Uhl tries to arrest him during a live show, Eisenheim's body fades and disappears, implying that he did not perform the show as a corporeal human being that night but, rather, as yet another illusion.
Inspector Uhl first searchs for Eisenheim at his house. There he finds a folio labeled "Orange Tree". Thinking he will find the solution to one of the magician's most famous tricks, he opens it to find empty pages except for a scrap of parchment showing how to open the locket Eisenheim had given Sophie when they were young.
At this point, we return to the first scene of the movie. Uhl reveals to Leopold that he has found evidence which links the Crown Prince to Sophie's murder: the jewel from the prince's sword and Sophie's locket that Eisenheim gave her when they were children. After ordering, then begging Uhl to keep silent, Leopold discovers that Uhl has already informed the Emperor and the General Staff of Leopold's conspiracy to usurp the Austro-Hungarian throne. As the Army arrives at his Palace to arrest him, Leopold shoots himself in despair after sadly reflecting on the state of the Empire's corrupt government.
In the next scene, Uhl is shown leaving the
The twist at the end of the movie is pretty impressive; so is the performance by the actors. The movie succeeds well in re-creating the atmosphere of the 19th Century days. If you get to lay your hands on this one, don't miss it!

Chhoti Si Baat..
Here's one comedy really worth watching for...Although this wasn't the first time I was watching this movie, doing so after about six years was really worth it..At once it made me realize how much my perception has changed through time and how great a few of the classics have been....
The movie is from 1975, so the entire movie is in the Bombay of the '70s- a truly beautiful place to have lived in..
The movie revolves around a truly hopeless character, Arun(Amol Palekar), a great beauty, Prabha(Vidya Sinha), Arun's brash, pompous rival, Nagesh(Asrani) and Col. JNW Singh (Ashok Kumar). Right from the beginning, the movie displays a level of comedy that is mature and sensible; in simple words, far above the crap that is churned out of bollywood these days..
Arun is in deep love with prabha, from the first time he sees her at the bus stop. In an attempt to make his moves, he follows her everyday till her workplace, keeps a good eye for her on almost everything she does. Prabha is one smart woman who has the perfect idea of what arun is doing. But she just enjoys watching him do his antics and waits for his first move...
One fine day, they do get to talking and develop an acquaintance. So the first step having moved to, Arun seems happy, but then enters Nagesh, who makes it difficult for Arun to even get Prabha's attention to him. In need of help, Arun turns to Col. Julius Nagendranath Wilfred Singh who helps the helpless ones in love. His interaction with JNW favours Arun very much and now a new, confident arun returns to woo Prabha.
The movie has some of the most pleasant songs of the '70s. The comic scenes are some of the best. Notable ones are Arun's daily routine, his day dreams and his lessons with JNW. Prabha demonstrates a brilliant example of how beauty is timeless. The '70s Bombay is a true marvel; BEST buses, the areas around V.T. and Mantralaya..It proves to be the Kohinoor for the nostalgic.

TATA Power
I guess I'm strangely lucky this week...although the pile of work has reached the neck, I'm spending some time here. Today we had an industrial visit to a TATA Power generating plant and boy!!! was it great! this one was better than our last visit, which was to the nuclear reactor at Tarapur. So..her goes..
It wasn't difficult getting there; a simple bus ride from the college to Chembur and then another one to Mahol. Mahol happens to be a truly vast industrial area...en route to the plant we saw many other industries, most of them being petroleum refineries. We were guided around the plant by a pretty nice guy (Mr.N) who had a sound knowledge of power systems; after all, he had spent ten years there! The plant has been in the power scenario of Mumbai for over 60 years and has been a pioneer in a number of advances in the generation and transmission sector; they were the first to have a 500 MW plant in the country, that too, with an efficiency of about 38.5%(thermal). They're having one of the most efficient thermal plants in the country, a 120 MW with an efficiency of 50%. They've also been the first to have three-phase four conductor transmission towers..and they're still going on pretty well.
We began with a presentation about the plant; that's from where I got all the above mentioned stuff. This was followed by a trip to the photo gallery where the entire history of the plant was put in pictures, right from the first newspaper article about the TATAs entering into the power sector to the installation pictures of the turbine and generator room and all. Mr.N took turns explaining the models of the plants to batches of students. The best part came when we were taken to the actual control rooms. The real-time monitoring of the plant by SCADA systems was great, so was a screen showing the boiler internals. Most of the controls were almost parallel to what we saw at Tarapur; screens showing the temperature at various points of the boiler, the monitoring of the transformers, cables and what not!
Something that I can only describe as 'better than the best' was peeping inside the boiler to get a glimpse of the actual heart of the reactor-a huge sun-like ball of fire (this is were tis IV took the lead over the previous one). The small window we peeped through looked like Balrog's(from Lord Of the Rings) mouth; I later came to know that was at 1200 C!!. The plant has to maintain a negative pressure within the boiler; this basically means having a low pressure within the boiler so that the hot gases remain concentrated within a region. The water is circulated in helical pipes around the boiler so that a uniform heating is provided to the water within. The turbine section in itself was a marvel. This was the second turbine I've seen in my life; I don't have a clear picture of the first one I saw at Kadambarai a long time back.
The rest of the plant wasn't much exciting and the visit ended quickly. I think we missed some parts owing to some maintenance work. But the fascination of seeing equations come to reality, the glowing ball of fire, and many other things we saw aren't images that would get erased. Thank God that this company comes to our college; even if I were offered the job of a cleaner, I'd consider it...

Pheezix
Well..I've been lucky this week...for I've been able to spare a sum total of 45 minutes for blogging!!! Never mind my schedule, this post is dedicated to one of my teachers who takes pheezix(physics) for us...at the very beginning, this post is not to libel her in any way, but just make some harmless little fun of her, something, which I believe every student has done in his/her life at least once...
Delores Umbridge (name changed for obvious reasons) happened to enter our institute early this year; so she has already taught us something. This is to say that we aren't absolutely new to her or to her teaching methodologies. When she was teaching us the principles of Digital Logic, last semester, we all had the impression of her being a woman who was an exponent in singing lullabies...for she did get the entire class(of 74 students) to sleep on almost all her lectures. But, that was just a part of what she had in store for us..
This time, she entered the scene with physics in her hands and believe me...so far, hell has broken loose quite a number of times...how? check this out...(this might be a little dirty, but it's reality)
Did you know that shit can have charge? that it can be a very good conductor and have the corresponding electric field and potential?? By the way, we must've been the first to calculate the electric field due to infinite shit..(if you haven't realized, she was referring to 'sheet' and not shit like how it sounds..)
Further, we were told that the distance of a point from the origin can also be negative..
Did you know that the dot product of two vectors can give us a vector as well?
Formulae, which took decades to shape up by brilliant minds, are of your making in this class; depending on your aesthetic sense, you can create as many formulae as you want....I guess, everyone from Newton's time must have turned in his grave a good number of times!!!
The other day, she says to the four of us,"come to me with notebook and pain"!! Once again, if you haven't got what it means, she was referring to a pen....All the garbage of the same kind has been flooding our classroom ever since her session began.
But, on a serious note, D does take efforts, and that too, sincerely at that. She does a good amount of study for the class and, to be honest, she doesn't always spew crap..only once in every three lectures. The problem is, despite her commendable efforts, she fails to get the message across the students' brains; astonishingly, she does so in an effort to explain each word...
Now, with the semester fast moving to its end, I wonder what more is coming along the way........some thing like relativistic shit??..

Coolie..
blogging is pretty difficult these days...going by the way our beloved college's piling the work on us. Anyways..I did get some time to see one of the very good 'comedies' of the 1980s..Coolie. Yeah..you guessed it right, the Big B starer. May be director Manmohan Desai did plan a serious venture, but me and my family here found it pretty funny to see out of the world things happen. For example:
A falcon (Big B's pet) always enters the scene from god knows where to come and spoil the villain's plans. The poor fellow has no choice but to look around helplessly(despite having all weapons to take care of that damned bird) till it comes and does good with his eyes!!!(boy what an eye popper!!!!) My apologies on not posting any pictures here..will try for them in the next post...
The characters in the movie are all related to one another through some means...like some orphan child happens to be one principal character's son and so on..you know..the stereotypical Bollywood stuff..funny enough..
This happens to be one of those movies where the show the incredible punctuality of the reel cops!! and the fools, they arrive in time only to arrest the only hot chick in the movie!!! how dumb!!!
We return to our friend, The Falcon here who truly has a great life span, does every thing that a man can do...like pick up a gun, almost talk to Big B..spot the baddie all alone and pluck out his eyes, get out of a closed car on its own..and what not!!! it was a treat to watch such marvels!!! Now, I'm considering getting one myself...may be it'll help me finish my assignments off!!!!!
Besides the comic part of the movie...it had a strong sense of Communism and a strongly echoing message of communal harmony throughout...I guess some of those Left parties might've considered putting the falcon as their party mascot or something...dunno why the didn't do it...
At the end of the movie..Big B gets shot thrice in his chest from a revolver at point blank range and still the Godly Docs at Bollywood manage to save him..sounds some what parallel to a few of those Tamil movies where the lead hero can die only if he chooses to!!!! For example..in the recent movie Sivaji, Rajnikanth gets a decent shock from a 440 V supply, he's given a few shock pulses into his heart after a few hours and he zooms back to life with that heavily accented "cool" on his lips!!
At the end of the day...no matter how much unexpected be a movie's outcome...as long as its from bollywood...it still provides entertainment in some form...be it a serious story with comic outcomes or cheap comedies or those in which only the feminine element is worth watching..
