Legalised "bits" in Mech Engg.

Accidentally came across this sensational reference which made the day(s) for every Mech. Engineer who successfully passed out from Alma Mater. Come to think about it, we had the luxury of printed and standardised bits for atleast 6 courses :-)

Finding this one masterpiece, by the much revered Kothandaraman and Subramanyan, on the U of I catalog was an absolute cracker.. reminds me of a 5 credit travesty we pulled off a good many years back, just like that!

Frustration..

... is in struggling to maintain a "Class 10" blog.
It is not a Cleanroom for heavens' sake!

Whose "Call" is it anyway?

Got the following article in a Macho Rulz email forward, as usual :-) , thanks to Surendran. Saving some words for better use later, I leave this one to mess with your sense of humour. Basically, I gave up on this one completely :D Read and savour all of it...

PS: It may seem too incredible to be true, but I'd take it for its lighter side.. like they say, "all's fair in love and war!" :P

Face-off updated..

Following up on my radical decision^ to quit the world's most popular, attractive and addictive network (arguably, of course), it appears that I may not be on the wrong side of the tide after all. Remarkably, facebook seems to have recorded its first losses - much like discount bookings in stock market! Are things waning?

Here's the story.

Stumble[d]Upon!

StumbleUpon! made my day today! Here's how. May seem trivial to the bright and the elite, but much to my amusement, I came across something funny yet very thoughtful (given that I am a mechanical guy after all) in a random website hosting these quotes-

(Need I say anything in testimony of one Mr. D.H. Lawrence?)

• Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.
  

• Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can't invent a design. You recognize it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes.
  

• But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions.
  

• I am in love - and, my God, it is the greatest thing that can happen to a man. I tell you, find a woman you can fall in love with. Do it. Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.

The following (last) one totally cracked me up. Any of my 'chaddi dosths' or fellow NITTwits from pre-Chambana times would certainly vouch, in particular, for my unique sixth sense! Or is it one of the five? :-)

• I like to write when I feel spiteful. It is like having a good sneeze.

Three cheers to that grand sneeze!

Till next..
