Keep the sparks shining…
Below is a Inaugural Speech for the new batch at the Symbiosis BBA program, Pune delivered by Chetan Bhagath. “”” Good Morning everyone and thank you for giving me this chance to speak to you. This day is about you. You, who have come to this college, leaving the comfort of your homes (or in some cases discomfort), to become …
LOL :P
I was checking out our NITT site after along time. I was actually surprised to find a link saying “Student Conduct and Disciplinary code” in the home page. That too in the Spotlights section. I was very sure this must be some kind of joke. 🙂 And yes, I was so true. 🙂 Let me list out some of the …
Clueless…
The title says it all. In fact, it is so apt for this post. I post a letter to my friend. It is lost. So simple. The letter is gone now. Simply gone. 🙁 🙁 🙁 There are few times when you do everything perfect and at the end fate just smiles at you and makes you forget the meaning …
As strategic as pig…
Looks like my blogs are only about animals now 😛 I’m “working” as a software engineer. I joined two months back, which implies I don’t work at all and just enjoy killing time at office. I meet many new people everyday (in and outside office) and the way they talk is quite funny. One day I happen to hear a …
Kaakarat
This story is created by a few vetti engineering students (who are supposed to a project) and a vetti software engineer(who is supposed to work). 🙂 The main story is contributed by only one, but many own the copyright for this story now. OK, lets stop the intro here and begin the story. Long ago, long long ago, there was …

Mistakes… :)
When asked to read for any exam, I end up doing everything other than reading. It can be cleaning my room, washing clothes, bathing, chatting, coding, reading novels and so on. This time, when I had to give my SCJP test, I ended up watching How I Met Your Mom. 😉 Btw liked the scene I’ve pasted below. Maybe, doing …
Forgot the match again?
Do you play Topcoder? If yes, then there might be something for you in this post. If you don’t know what topcoder is, check http://topcoder.com/tc and then come back here. If you play topcoder, then keeping track of when the next match is a big headache. There are many many people who login to the arena one day before the …
Photolog 4…
Have been searching this picture for a long long time. Wasted so much time to search in all servers in my college. Finally found this in my picasa account. Anyway, better late than never. 🙂 Manas, the Cook 😀
Bye bye NITT
My last post from LRSL (Last Row of Sun Lab, Octagon) I guess. Exactly one year back Manas told me, “You won’t miss the place, but you’ll miss the people.” Hmmm now I realize what exactly it means. Hmmm, list of people whom I’ll miss next year Ankit Anshu Arun Balli Donatello Doniv Evo Gcdart Hajela Ht Iyer KKS Lavanya …
Photolog 3…
WordPress gave me so much trouble when I tried to upload this pic. Still uploading pic in Wp 2.5 is a headache :'(.
Setting up a SMS server using Gnokii
I’ve used gnokii to set up a SMS server in our college as a part of Spider Project. Though I didn’t actually believe that a computer and a mobile phone can be connected when Manas suggested the idea, I coded much for this SMS server later. 😛 So here is the short manual about how to configure gnokii in a …
Google Image Search
I don’t remember who exactly gave me this script. Must be either Verma or Manas, but this one is so cool. The code looks pretty easy and clear, though I didn’t try to understand it completely. So this is what you have to do. Open Google image search and search for some image. If you are lazy to do that, …
Choice…
Choice, my dear friend… You make them and then they take over! Got this as a SMS message from one of my friends in our conversation. Don’t know whether I like it or not, but so true. 😐
CSS
Why should you have a nice design in your web page? Why should you have a good CSS? I got this answer in the spider class. A nice way of telling concepts to the students. “You know Rajinikanth right? Have you seen him without his makeup? He is old, bald, dark and certainly not an “hero” you would like to …
Finally….
This is one of the question you find being asked when browse for around 10-15 minutes. “Your message has not been sent. Discard your message?” from Gmail. “Are you sure you want to navigate from this page? Your message has not been sent. Press OK to continue, Cancel to stay on the current Page” from Gmail “Are you sure you …
Google Maps – Icons
This post is for playing with icons in Google Maps. In the previous post, the last example explained how to add markers when we click on the map. We will try to add custom markers and change the properties of different markers before and after creating them. In the first example, we’ll create a custom marker instead of the default …
Google Maps
I have been using Google Maps for a long time (a nice way to kill time) and now I am using the Google Map API to create my own site (not a nice way to kill time). Was able to start with my work using the sample examples given in the Google Maps site and by trial and error method. …
Winter Project
10 things i have got to say about my project, stay in IIIT, Hyderabad and other things happened during this vacation. 🙂 0. Madhapur is in Hyderabad. Hyderabad is in Madhuapur 1. GTK won’t work. WxWidgets uses GTK. So WxWidgets also won’t work 2. I will never ever wash my plates. I’ll rather go hungry. 3. Canteen is a place …
Windows
Finally installed Windows in my laptop. 🙂 No more kela configuring wifi and other things. If things work automatically in windows, why bang my head so much to make them work in Linux. Can use Office 2007. Don’t know why, but every time i use Office 2007, the urge to install windows increases. I don’t mind calling it the best …
Bash spellchecker
Spell checking in bash is a cool feature which can be added by adding just one line in your bashrc file. shopt -s cdspell That’s all 🙂 Add that to your ~/.bashrc file. If you want to enable this for all the users, then append this to your /etc/bash.bashrc (in Ubuntu) or /etc/bashrc (in Fedora). Of course, you need the …
Mystery…
Not going to chaaaat anything about ‘Life is a mystery. Blah blah blah.’ Have realised it’s more than a mystey. The more you try to understand it, the more weirder it gets. 🙂 Have been seeing Prison Break for the past two days. Managed to finish Season 1 and it’s amazing. The way Mike plans things and the way things …
