An old photograph

From a time when the woods were greener and the minds were cleaner.

[Dated 19 Oct 2007 and taken on road to Mulshi. On the boulder from left: Dhaval, Tejas, DJ. Down: Galli and Yours Truly. I don't remember what we're looking at].

And yes, have a nice weekend!

Ear >> 0.5

My left ear has shifted somehow into my right ear (hence the title). As a consequnce, my right ear is more sensitive than usual, left is half dead. I am not sure how it actually came about; I am sleeping like a rabbit (see here) for a couple of days, which is more than my average, and currently I am blaming it on the heavy headedness that comes with oversleeping. Here are some funny things happening
1) My right ear being sensitive than average, I get startled every time someone pulls a chair (and let me add I am the leftmost member of my row).
1) On a table, I can only hear one side. It impacts my objectivity (hee hee).
2) When someone comes to my desk, I have to rotate my chair, and ask that someone to repeat what he/she just said.
3) When I go to somebody's desk, I spend a lot of time rotating (if I haven't computed my precise standing angle in advance).
4) I pretend understanding something when I don't. But this particular thing has nothing new in it.
5) Edison was almost deaf in one ear. He said that helped him concentrate better. I am yet to experience that.
6) I learned what is the proper name of an ENT doctor. It's otolaryngologist.

Waiting for next funny thing now :)

P.S.
No, I don't remember getting a 'kaan ke neeche'.

Enjoy!!

FD5

Final Destination 5 (FD5) is a genuine feel good movie. Specifically, it is designed to make you feel clever (by comparison). It succeeds triumphantly (so much so that you might be tempted to take on quantum mechanics or something). This was my first movie in FD series (remember watching a few fragments in college), but I hear that rest of the movies in the series are also motivated by this noble purpose. Kudos.

Happiness..

Ere Cometh the 64 bit weekend..
(provided you code Java)

A change

Bugged by the recent versioning issues cropping up everywhere around me, I have decided to subscribe to the school of Parmenides.

Ek Sawaal..

har malloc() aur new ke baad..
har arr[n] aur *ptr++ ke baad..
itna kya, har int i aur char c ke baad..
mann me uthata hai..
ek sawaal..

HAVE I MADE IT LARGE?
