ORGANIZING RANDOMNESS

I met someone in Chennai last month. He told me that he has seen only doordarshan in his entire life. No cable, no Tata sky, hell not much of big screen as well. Just the traditional antenna lying idle in the terrace with some crow shit. And then, something suddenly struck me like the low wavelength doordarshan antenna. Everything about his character suddenly made sense to me. And somehow, lot of it had to do with the fact that he has seen only doordarshan through out his life. And then, I suddenly gazed upon myself. I was a couch potato. At least when I wasn't playing or fooling around. A special bond definitely exists between I & TV. A bond, which is way more stronger than C-H bonds in the benzene ring :P. I still remember the moments where I've been watching Cartoon Network from morning 9 to the evening 7, only to stop as Dad would then be back from work. Its still very vivid in my head. The 2 Sharjah knocks by Sachin to lead India triumph is still so much in vicini...

Alarm rings. I look at the phone : 7 am! I get up and sit upright. I had a choice, like always. I chose to get up for a change. I hadn't seen the morning sunlight for a really long time. I enter the washroom. And then, I remembered. The flush wasn't working as there were water issues in the building [Not our fault. Sometimes families also screw up]. There was yesterday's crap, which was still not cleared [:S :S] . We had some real crappy food yesterday night, and you know, things weren't looking good. Things were not smelling good either.  So, what did we do? My friend & I went to McDonald's and like hogged a really nice breakfast. We were hoping to do the morning ritual there, and we find the their toilets not functioning due to "technical reasons"! Technical Reasons? What? Do the bum showers have some sophisticated electronic hardware attached to it? Anyways, we head back home, rather constipated.  We follow the traditional approach of using the b...

All our thoughts & actions are so relative. But, at the same time, there are so many common notions across the diverse sophisticated spectrum of all our minds put together.  For example, consider the following scenario.  At a particular stage in Ramu's life, he wishes to achieve top secret classified goals, which is like totally 'different'.  1. Get up early and study for the test.  2. Study for the test.  But then, what makes Ramu get these ideas? Why does he want to study? Forget that! Why does he want to get up early and study? Studying is after all an action. How does it matter when he does the action? Is the time of action an important parameter? Is the action itself relevant? Why is there a test in the first place? Let us take another situation in Ramu's dreary life. He meets a really charming & cute girl at work.(Yes! Real Surprise! Yay!!) It's the classical love at first sight phenomenon. As my friend would say, "lov...

After 10th, my parents had decided to put me in a boarding school. I was immensely exited, and the thought of independence, overhauled my career objectives. I was good in Maths, and Physics excited me. So, quite naturally, I ended up taking the Science stream. After successfully completing 12th Standard in 2008, like thousand others across India, I had only 1 choice - Take up Engineering! Pretty obvious, isn't it? I ended up taking ECE of course, in the prestigious College of Engineering, Guindy. But, I wasn't intimidated in doing so, like many of my friends. I truly believed that my interest lied in Electronics, and I could create an impact in that field. Here's where the problem started. The teachers had always played an important role in my schooling days. I would attribute my interests to them. But, in college, teaching was utterly gruesome. I can confidently say that, irrespective of the branch, the first 2 years of Engineering, is most important. When weig...

AIM:  To make  ramakrishnan90.blogspot.com  the most viewed page only next to  www. poonampandey .in APPARATUS AND SKILL REQUIRED:  Laptop. (PC also acceptable)  Joblessness  Facebook  Bullshitting attribute 'BLOG'/BLOCK DIAGRAM: THEORY: The term blog means simply to 'Maintain'. Maintaining is basically to keep something at the same level! Hence, if this blog has to go up on the IRP ratings, then it should not be sustained! Hence, the paradox! Blogging is of many types: 1. Personal Blogs: It is for the 'aam admi'. So essentially, whoever has seen the Maaza Ad fall under this category. So, that is the entire universe. DOT.  2. Corporate Blogs: Niira Radia and the telecom heavyweights decided the portfolio of the Telecom Ministry; not Manmohan Singh. Hence, when TATAs and AMBANIs want to bamboozle the customer, they utilize this medium! Technically, it is used for marketing, branding and for pu...

Recently, a couple of folks did their mini-projects on Motion Detection of objects. Now, I understand what kind of objects they are talking about. Whether you are Mukesh Ambani (who is the richest Indian again? Mittal?) or you are Poonam Pandey, all of us have eat crap and clog the toilet. So, hence for all sanitation and health purposes, as well as some tantalizing aroma, let us all not use the toilet today. * Caution. Not using toilet today implies No Drinking as well. Please let the Tasmac Employees have some rest.
