So, I got to know about this from nareshov’s blog post. I tried it, all I needed was answering 20 easy and fast question… and here is the result :

So, finally CS Department of IIT Kanpur has taken a step to decrease faculty-student distance. Every Wednesday students and faculty members meet at 5PM and talk over a cup of tea and samosas. The topics are supposed to be informal. So, it wouldn’t be just about acads. Today was second meet. I couldn’t attend last meeting, but today I was there. I was 20 mins late, so missed tea and samosa. But  it will be compensated next time, we are going to have pizzas and cold drinks in next get-together . Yes baby, CS department is the coolest (at least pretends) department of IITK.

So, I pulled all-nighter because I needed to understand 3 research papers and was supposed to compare them and then meet my BTech Project Guide. And to my surprise I couldn’t even complete a single paper. Of course, after all I am daring enough to work under Dr. Ganguly. Of course, I am still hoping that this ‘dare’ will give fruits . It’s interesting to work on something which you know you can not do. Isn’t it?

Followed are some resolutions I took recently :
1 : I have removed windows from my machine ( even when I can get as much licenses as I want. I am still Microsoft Student Partner.. being an MSP, I can directly attack MS and other MSPs, I am so mean ). Now I have Fedora and Gentoo on my machine. Yes, I know I have been preferring Ubuntu over Fedora, but I installed Fedora to give it another shot. Conley once said, Gentoo and Ubuntu has nonfree softwares in its repositories, which I agree is not good, but Gentoo is worth making that exception. . Though I am worried about the future of Gentoo. It’s development is in big question-mark.

So, this was going to be last weekend in US. So, me and Conley decided to do something interesting. We were thinking of a 2 day hike, but we couldn’t plan that. So finally we decided to make a video, and Conley came up with ‘Dragon Hunting’. And then, we decided that Conley will be the dragon hunter and I will be the cameraman. We roamed about Blacksburg and Cascades and asked people some dumb questions. No doubt, it was perfect fun for us. Some people gave real funny reactions to our questions. Some people were boring enough to speak any interesting thing. We tried talking to some shop keepers but most of them refused to come on camera. But anyways, it was a great hunt.

I usually can see any disgusting movie. And I enjoy them. Ocean 12 was a disappointment for me though I enjoyed it. The movie wasn’t as exciting as Ocean 11. This time in Ocean 13, since Al Pacino was there, I was expecting a good time seeing movie. Though it came out that Al Pacino had a small role, which was disaapointment and then his acting wasn’t upto the mark as well. They mentioned ‘Tes’ in the start of the movie, but never showed ‘Tes’. For those who havn’t seen Ocean 11 and 12, it would have been confusing. Role of the camera they put in Al Pacino’s office wasn’t much clear.
Overall the adventure wasn’t bad. Adventure before show and adventure in the show. I had properly planned for the show, though Alli didn’t show up till 10:30PM. The Show was at 10:40PM. But it came out that the movie was 10:54PM not 10:40PM. I didn’t miss anything.
