dragon's fury

ever got the feeling that you just have to do it and no matter what the consequences , you have to go ahead with it ??

you'll have people around you telling you that you're over reacting .. which you probably are .. but you're raving mad and you just have to do it .. you know you wont find any peace till its done ..

so what do you do ?

well .. quoting shiv khera .. you ought to look at the whole thing from a very "positive" angle and realize that if you channel all this pent up anger towards useful purposes , you could probably come with a solution to the energy crisis .. but thats another issue for another time ..

anyways, coming back to the main issue .. i was sort of in the same place bout two days back .. the problem started almost two weeks ago when our "image processing" prof started taking extra classes like crazy .. he qouted some arbit " wont feel any self-satisfaction unless the portions are completed " crap .. absolute bull shit right ?

so, anyways, we sit through all his extra classes ( which included a 4 hour class on saturday ) and finally had an entire extra unit completed in the last week before the exam .. and we really had to slog to learn up all the stuff that he taught .. and go to the exam after a night-out and then ..
end up being given a paper which might as well have been in "arm architecutre" ..agreed that the questions were of a " challenging " standard .. as some show-offs put it, but if i could answer atleast 60% of the questions correctly .. ( mind you .. "correctly" is very important in the context of those show-offs ) , then , I would have directly applied for my Masters in MIT instead of coming here to Trichy.

so after this paper , I storm out all pissed and I swore that I'll giv my prof a piece of mind .. and i decided that i'm gonna tell him that its totally unfair on the part of all those who prepared .. ( those unprepared just said .. dude !! i also found it tough lik you did .. ) and like i said .. i was all fuming and raving ..

and what did i do ?

I went and spoke to the prof today and told him .. "Sir , i personally felt like an idiot after writing your paper". He just gave a simper ( you know that smile ..) and said .. "we'll discuss this in class "..

so .. moral of the story is .. that feeling you get when you get out and follow ur gut instincts and vent ur feelings is just too gr8 .. so the next time you're pissed over something .. and ur blood's simmering beneath that "cool" exterior .. and you just want to get out and do something ..

.. dont hesitate .. veNt iT !!!

.. for the record .. shiv khera is an established author who is "very popular" among the college youth .. some of his best-sellers include .. "You can run" , "You can swim" and the "120 ways to order for 5 boiled eggs" .. more inofrmation about him can be found at .. shivkhera.com

being a rat

well .. finally i've decided to blog .. this is more to compete with others in my class who have become more popular than me coz of their blogs and to do the "in-thing" .. i personally have no interest and to be honest have always been very skeptical about this whole blogging hype coz:

a) i intend to specialize in covert operations when i grow up ( right now , im just a kid .. finshing college and on the verge of joining the "workforce" .. ) so its imperative that i do not leave any traces for the CIA or the Mossad. for those who're wondering, my mail accounts and this blog page will automatically self destruct on the 22nd of october , 2013.

b) i've been realtively successful in hiding my promiscuous lifestyle from my various girlfriends and publishing my exploits on this blog for the whole world to see is not exactly the wisest of decisions. of course , there is a minority who would consider going out with me after reading this , but i'm a bit busy for them. after all , like poles repel.

c) my neighbour was this really smart bloke ( name hidden for personal reasons ) who got refused a job in one of the best companies ( again hidden for personal reasons ) coz he had unwittingly put up on his blog page ( sorry .. same reason ) that .. oops .. cant say that either .. anyways, you've got the point

d) its so much of a waste of time when i could rather be reading harry potter for the 46th time.

e) my best friend's cat died after he decided to blog about " effects of laser and x-rays on humans and other species ". sad part was , he himself went blind and thus the blog was left incomplete .. i'll see if i can get you guys the link ..

f) its a waste of electricity . if all of us stopped blogging , it would save 35568 trees , 457 polar bears , 3 penguins , 2 emus and 15 water-rats every year.

So , as i was saying , i dont like blogging .. but i have to .. coz everybody else is .. AFTER ALL .. if you cant lick them , join them ..
