Posting after a long time on this blog ..
Been almost three years since the last post .. Was out of touch for sure ...
Moreover there was nothing substantial that i could write about ...
Was busy with my MBA preparations ,, So thought of giving blogging a miss ..
A Costly mistake that I made { umphhhhhhhhhhhh }
Anyways , I finally made it to IIM-A ...
Persistence has finally paid off ... A feeling that I couldn't express ...

What is PI ????
ANCIENT PI KNOWERS OF THE UNIVERSE
One of the most interesting realtionships of this nature concerns the 2268c Nineveh count:
Any practical attempt to divide the diameter of a circle into its own circumference can only meet with failure. Such a procedure is entirely theoretical in nature. Dividing unlikes, a straight line (the diameter of a circle) into a curved line (the circumference of a circle) can only be met with frustration. The kind of frustration that is portrayed throughout history in humankind's attempt to measure the incommensurable. No matter how hard one may try, even with the assistance of contemporary electronic computers, bending either the straight line or the curved line, alters the nature of the problem and yields an impossibility. As soon as one of the lines is bent the results are tainted. Then, there is the question of the very thickness of the lines being measured in length. Whether one measures the inner part of the curved line of the circumference or the outer edge makes a great deal of difference; especially, when one is attempting to achieve an exactness in the concept of pi ( 
If we realize that the measurement of the ratio between the diameter and the circumference of a circle is entirely theoretical and speculative, then we may also realize that the result shall always represent an approximation. In fact, the very fact that pi is always expressed in terms of an unending fraction (with mathematicians searching it to the nth number of decimal places), should cause us to accept the idea that pi can only be an approximation. (As Lambert illustrated in 1767, "
Once we realize that pi represents a fractional expression in numbers, it were as though either nature itself were wrong, or the numbers must surely be able to be manipulated to render whole numbers. The ancients sought to work with whole numbers. However, once we realize that the ancient reckoning system may have been based upon the concept of a floating decimal place, then we should understand that all numbers, in fact, may be visualized as whole numbers. The cut-off point becomes one of arbitrary choice at times. With regard to the concept of pi, contemporary mathematicians have not decided to accept that arbitrary cut-off point, and continue to search for the unending decimal expression of pi. At one time, not too long ago, pi was simply represented to be 3.1416; and, in a practical sense, it served all purposes of constructing things out of matter and energy. Today, the unending expression of pi to hundreds of thousands of decimal places serves no practical purpose that we know of, at least, other than that of an unending contest to discover the ultimate expression of pi. One has only to admire the relation of the diameter of any circle to its circumference to note that particular expression.
Throughout history, the expression of pi has taken on many variations. Petr Beckmann (Cfr., A History of
Nonetheless, in 1844, Johann Martin Zacharias Dase calculated
Decimal hunting games aside, the practical uses of knowing pi (the ratio of the diameter of a circle to its circumference) even as an approximation has infinite applications in astronomy. And, the ancients were on the whole astronomers; knowers of the universe. This ratio becomes significant in calculating the movements of the planets and the stars; in computing their coming and going in the sky. Once more, since we are dealing with movement, the movement of the planetary bodies and the stars, we are always speaking about approximations; even in and especially so in astronomy. Therefore, the approximations to pi serve a purpose in knowing the approximate movements of the planets. Such are the problems concerning the measurement of moving bodies. As soon as they have been measured, they have already moved from that measurement.
When we observe the measurements offered by Tsu Chung-Chih given above, it becomes obvious that ancient approximations were at times far ahead of latter day computations. And, then there is the problem that one may obtain pi to the nth decimal place, but such decimal expressions are beyond the human capacity to measure or even observe matter-energy to such a minute degree.
In our analyses, we cannot cite any specific ancient documents for the computation of pi among the ancients. Yet, the historically significant numbers that do exist within the ancient reckoning systems may reveal some partial aspects of the computations themselves. No matter which contemporary studies we examine, pi is always given in relation to the number ca. 3.1-something, as a guidepost. Yet, it may be the case that the ancients conceived of pi in relation to the number of divisions that made up the circle; the number of degrees or segments contained therein.
The concept of pi refers to the constant ratio of the diameter:circumference of any circle; irrespective of the number of degrees contained within that circle. Historically, the Babylonians came to use the number 360 for the divisional segments within a circle, and we have employed that same number ever since. The abstracted universal circle, then, would have a constant diameter of one (1.0), and the length of its circumference would be pi (
Now, if we consider the circumference to be divided into 360 degrees (or segments; angular divisions with lines cutting through the center of the circle as we know them), then using the contemporary figure for pi (3.141592654), the length of the circumference could be 360 units, while the length of the diameter would be 114.591559 (i.e., 360 /
Now, let us suppose that the circle is divided into 260 degrees (something that we are unaccustomed to considering, in fact). If we employ the same length of the diameter of the previous example (114.591559), then the relational figure for pi for a 260-degree circle would be: 2.268928028. With that something very intriguing developes. Within ancient Nineveh, there exists an historically significant cited as 2268. One could imagine that the 2268 fractal number may relate to the concept of proportion (i.e., pi) regarding a 260-division circle. The number 260 is relevant because during ancient times there existed in various cultures a calendar based on a 260c day-count. Furthermore, the Great Cycle of the sun, known as Precession, also involves a fractal of 260 (i.e., 26000 years). Now, were we to consider the Nineveh number for representing pi on a 260-degree circle, then the constant value for the diameter would then be 114.638448 (i.e., 260 / 2.268).
The use of the reciprocal of seven number (114.284714) for the length of the 360 and 260 circle would offer the following values for pi, respectively:
| 360 / 114.285714 | = | 3.150000008 | (pi proportion for 360c circle) |
| 260 / 114.285714 | = | 2.275000006 | (pi proportion for 260c circle) |
Note that the 3.15 number offers a mediatio/duplatio series based on the 63c, which was significant in ancient reckoning systems: 315, 630, 1260, 2520, 5040, 10080, 20160, 40320, 80640, 161280, 322560, 645120,1290240, 2580480 (a Precession number/fractal); and, 63, 126, 189, 252, 315, 378, 441, 504, 567 (kemi), 630, 693 (Sothic), 756 (Giza), 819 (k'awil; maya), 882, 945, 1008, 1071, 1134 (Nineveh, 2 x 1134 = 2268), 1197, etc.
Note that the 2275 fractal number is relevant for the computational series within the ancient reckoning system of the 364c day-count: 2275, 4550, 9100, 18200, 36400, etc. Also, note that the difference between the Nineveh 2268c and the pi-like number 2275 is seven (2275 - 2268 = 7); which could be easily translated from one series to the other by remainder math based on multiples of seven.
Many of the distinctive historically significant numbers of the ancient reckoning system reflect a relationship based on the reciprocal of seven. Consider the maya long count period number of 1872000, which has received so much speculation regarding its beginning and ending date. Also, consider the period called the k'awil of the maya cited as consisting of 819c days. Now, notice the number that obtains from the division resulting from half of the long count period figure by the k'awil: 936 / 819 = 1.142857143. The same figure obtains regarding the constant length of a diameter of a circle based on a pi-like number in relation to the reciprocal of seven as explained earlier.
Other relationships obtain regarding similar historically significant numbers from other systems. The Great Pyramid entails the number 756c as its baseline. Also, there exists the 432c number/fractal associated with the Consecration. If we double the 432 figure and divide by the 756c, the same result obtains: 864 / 756 = 1.142857143. Consider: 360 x .864 = 311.04 (31104 being an historically significant number for China and Mesoamerica).
The significance of seven and its reciprocal becomes obvious throughout the historically significant numbers/fractals. Even the obvious relationship, of the 364c day-count of ancient Mesoamerica, which was employed for computations, reveals a direct basis of seven: 364 / 7 = 52. Immediately, one will recognize the 52c that is so well-known in ancient Mesoamerica as the calendar round (52 years times 365 days = 18980 days; and 52 years times 360 days = 18720! days). And, the ancient kemi appear to have employed a 54c in its place: 7 times 54 = 378 (2 x 378 = 756; or, 7 x 108 = 756). No matter where one turns, the number seven and its reciprocal make their appearance. The reasoning behind this procedure may be rather obvious, although we have not discerned it previously.
The number 1.142857143 concerns the ratio 8/7ths. The Aztec Calendar appears to be based upon a spatial division that reflects the logic of 7:8 or 8:7, depending upon the rings and segments to be considered (Cfr., Earth/matriX No.88). If one were attempting to consider the diameter of the Solar System, or the Universe, knowing that these events consist of imaginary circles (ellipses), then the use of the unit 1.0 for the length of their respective diameters would not be of much value. And, furthermore, if the ancients had employed the contemporary (and possibly past) concept of pi (based on a close approximation to 3.141592654, give or take a fraction), then the numbers would have been unmanageable and not very attractive.
The apparent relational aspects of the many different historical numbers found in the many distinctive ancient reckoning systems suggest a common origin and reasoning. If the length of the diameter of the solar system or the Universe were assigned a value consisting of the reciprocal of seven (i.e., 1.142857143), then this would be the next best thing to working with whole numbers for computing the time cycles of the movement of the planetary bodies and the stars. Furthermore, knowing the actual measurement of pi (the exact proportion of the diameter:circumference ratio) could be compensated with remainder math adjustments quite easily. Consider the following computations:
| 1.142857 | x | 819 | = | 935.999883 | (936) | (maya long count fractal) |
| 1.285714 | x | 819 | = | 1052.999766 | (1053) | |
| 1.428571 | x | 819 | = | 1169.999649 | (1170) | (Venus sidereal count) |
| 1.571428 | x | 819 | = | 1286.999532 | (1287) | |
| 1.714285 | x | 819 | = | 1403.999415 | (1404) | (kemi count; 351c) |
| 1.857142 | x | 819 | = | 1520.000298 | (1521) | (39²) |
| 1.142857 | x | 315 | = | 359.999955 | (360) | (360c; kemi; maya) |
| 1.285714 | x | 315 | = | 404.99991 | (405) | (1296000c; kemi) |
| 1.428571 | x | 315 | = | 449.999865 | (450) | (maya long count; 9 base system) |
| 1.571428 | x | 315 | = | 494.99982 | (495) | (99c lunar count) |
| 1.714285 | x | 315 | = | 539.999775 | (540) | (kemi count) |
| 1.857142 | x | 315 | = | 584.99973 | (585) | (Venus synodic count) |
One of the most interesting realtionships of this nature concerns the 2268c Nineveh count:
| 1.142857 | x | 2268 | = | 2591.999676 | (2592) | (Platonic Year, 25920 years) |
Scholars consider the figure of 3 1/7ths to have been an erroneous computation for pi. Yet, we have never really known how the ancients computed their mathematics. The few documents that remain (such as the Rhind document of the ancient kemi) concern everyday matters; not the mathematics and geometry of the study of the Universe. By employing the reciprocal of seven in the computations, which is what an initial analysis of the historically significant numbers reveals, the ancients may have been seeking an easier method for arriving at their knowledge of the Universe than what is offered by the precise unending fractional expression of pi, the proportion of the diameter to the circumference of a circle. This may be further understood when we realize that the comings and goings of the planetary bodies and the stars throughout the Universe do not travel on perfect pi-like circles.
The ancients may have employed distinct constant fractals/numbers for adjustments in their computations: the length of the diameter may have been based on 114.2857, 114.591559, 114.638448; etc; the distance of the circumference ay have been related to the 260c, 360c, 378c, 936c, etc.; and, the pi ratio (proportion) of the diameter:circumference may have been 2.268, 3.15, 3.1416, 3.142857, 819, etc. The distinctive historically significant numbers reflect different aspects of the computations and their corresponding adjustments. From this dynamic perspective, the historically significant numbers may be communicating to us a much more precise knowledge of astronomy and mathematical and geometrical computations than we have been willing to concede to the ancients.
The Fundooest living man .. I really Respect Him
| Stephen William Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 (300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford, England. |
Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe. With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein's General Theory of Relativity implied space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes. These results indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great Scientific development of the first half of the 20th Century. One consequence of such a unification that he discovered was that black holes should not be completely black, but should emit radiation and eventually evaporate and disappear. Another conjecture is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time. This would imply that the way the universe began was completely determined by the laws of science.
His many publications include The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime with G F R Ellis, General Relativity: An Einstein Centenary Survey, with W Israel, and 300 Years of Gravity, with W Israel. Stephen Hawking has three popular books published; his best seller A Brief History of Time, Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays and most recently in 2001, The Universe in a Nutshell.
Dhoom and Don .. A trendy new Bollywood ...
Clever … very clever. That’s the impression you come away with from this sumptuous package of gloss, glamour, glitter and oomph quotient. If you’ve seen the first instalment of “Dhoom”, you would know Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra carry forward their characters. And that’s not an easy thing to do.
Don ko pakadna mushqil hi nahin, namumkin bhi hai". (It's not just difficult to catch Don, it's impossible).
Abhishek is saddled with an aura of solemnity while everyone else has a rollicking time.
Make no mistake. “Dhoom 2″ is about letting your hair down as far as it can go. The carnival-like atmosphere is carried all the way to Brazil where the sweaty tropical mood is imbibed into the characters as they play an ambivalent game of cat and mouse.
Yes, there are the law-enforcers and the law-breakers. But how do we tell them apart?
Certainly not by the glamour quotient, which is, applied to the antagonist Aryan (Hrithik) and his moll Sunehri (Aishwarya) far more intently than the cop-hero Jai (Abhishek) and his sidekick Ali (Uday Chopra).
And if you add Bipasha’s double role to the heady brew, you’ve got a film that’s the equivalent of a glossy calendar.
The film moves from Mumbai to Brazil in undulating movements and fuses furious action and svelte skin-show in a mix that leaves you dizzy.
Movies were never meant to be so heady, unsteady and ready to rock. Aishwarya’s doll-like movements in the song “Crazy kiya re” drive one crazy indeed.
The fast-paced and superbly crafted moments of aerial and ground stunts are all centred on the one and only Hrithik. “Dhoom 2″ is bigger, brighter, sexier and sassier than the earlier film.
Director Sanjay Gadhvi doesn’t try to please the audience. A sense of renewed and engaging d�j� vu is created by the film’s own volition. All the chutzpah and chirpy glamour from the first film is back with loads of oomph. The storytelling careens from the downright clownish courtship (Bipasha and Uday Chopra) to the outright passionate.
Aishwarya and Hrithik are arguably the best-looking couple Bollywood has ever seen. They look good and vibe so beautifully together.
The light falls just right on each actor. I can’t think of one film since “Sholay” that has showcased a bunch of top-notch actors in a more flattering light. Bipasha’s double role as a no-nonsense Mumbai cop and a sexy Brazilian girl is a little absurd.
Hrithik implements the series of heists in a spirit of twinkle-eyed mischief. When the crime-caper turns into an intense love story, you marvel at the actor’s ability of taking the plot from one level of engaging diversion to another without losing the rhythm pattern that governs the narration.
The film, however, never goes over the top in pursuit of stunts and thrills.
Of course there have been other more well thought-out capers. But has there ever been a caper as good-looking as “Dhoom 2″? Has Aishwarya ever looked and acted more authentically in any of her masala films? Has Hrithik ever given more substantial proof of his magnetic star power? Has Abhishek had a bigger chance to act in a film where’s his male co-star gets the author-backed role?
The answer to all the questions is a big no.
“Dhoom 2″ is a slick flick with stunts that flatter Hrithik’s star presence, only to deceive the audience into believing it’s all very easy.
As far as DON is Considered ....Don ko pakadna mushqil hi nahin, namumkin bhi hai". (It's not just difficult to catch Don, it's impossible).
You could say that again! Farhan Akhtar, who once made one of Indian cinema's path breakers "Dil Chahta Hai", slips into a gamine groove to recreate Salim-Javed's script from the original film of the same name.
Let's not play the blame game. But whosoever thought a slicker version of the clever 1978 script would work better when packaged in gallons of gloss has a vision that just stops short of being audacious.
This is a cheeky and chic homage to the earlier "Don". It goes to places the earlier film couldn't have dreamt of.
What has happened to me ???
Well I have been thinking for the past few days that what has really happened to me ...
I have stopped going to the MAlls... stopped watching the movies ...
I have become a dedicated worker ... No late night parties with the friends ... Well I am seriously surprised by the changes ...
well everyone else thinks that some girl is responsible for it ... But girl .. naaaaaa
..
Then why am i changing ....
Have started taking dancing classes and play football daily ....
But whatever is happening is happening for good anyways ...
.. No matter I bought a brush for 500 rs. but how does it matted until it cleans my teeth properlyy .. haina ???
Anyways as i keep searching for the cause or motivation for changing my life ...
You too try to help me ...
Bbye ...

What Stuff Is BARCA made of ???
Hail the champions after early birds Barcelona advance
No side has retained the Champions League since its inception 14 seasons ago but the odds on Barcelona doing so shortened after they swatted Germany's Werder Bremen 2-0 on Tuesday to avoid becoming the first title holders to exit at the group stage.
Two goals in the opening 20 minutes - a Ronaldinho freekick and an Eidur Gudjohnsen effort from a pinpoint Ludovic Giuly cross put the visitors, who needed just a draw to reach the last 16, firmly in their box, where Barca ensured they stayed.
Given that victory was achieved in pulsating fashion, even if the Catalan club eased off the accelerator in the second half with Giuly having missed a sitter before the break, it bodes well for Frank Rijkaard's side that by late February the line-up will be considerably reinforced.
My new GADGET
Well i had been thinking of getting it for a long time .. It certainly took some time but I did get
it anyways...
A lot of hours of work and savings at my end , so as to get me th New MOTOROLA - A1200 (Motoming) ...
One of the most costliest things I have ever bought for myself ... First gift from me to myself ...
Am really happy ...

ADMISSION @ NITJ
Well my admission in NITJ was more of a shock to me than a nice surprise...
I can't say whether i deserved to be here or not but in the earlier days when i had just got into this college .. i never felt like joining .. The simpliest reason being I thought i deserved more than this....
It all started with CET J&K in which though the papers went great and I was sure to be amongst the top few students to be into .. NIT Trichi Or Suratkal .. but destiny wanted something else... You really never know what it has kept in store for you .... ( But as they say .. whatever god does that is great .. and only benefits you ..) ..
Before this my dreams of going to BITS had crashed as even after scoring 93.2 % in CBSE I couldn't make it .. while the state toppers at 88% made it... Thats is altogether a different story ...
We come back to The CET results which were a complete shock ... My rank was 20th which apperas to be a good one but in a city like J & K where not many people appear for this .. was not acceptable ... That was the fitst time in my life that i felt like not facing my parents or friends as i had crashed their dreams and mine too.....
But one thing that was good was that many of my friends had really made it... Some kinda satisfactin ...
Seeing the rank i didn'e accept me to get CSE or some goodbranch in any REC (at that time) ... but may be god wanted to help me as i was able th get CSE which was some kinda relief after all this.... I always wanted to take this branch as i had interest in computers from before .. so i accepted it gracefully and decided toget admission here only @ NITJ ... I called one of my Seniors to enquire how the college is and was happy to hear wat he said ..( Frankly i myself had heard the name of this college only at the time of counselling ...) ..
It turned down the seat that i would be getting in some good college at mumbai or pune as we being kashmiris have got a quota there .... ( I needed me to do something on my own ..)....
So i along with my father and some friends went to Srinagar .... (to get the letters from NIT Srinagar ) ... We'll there i sniffed what was going to come as i joined the college .. as there i was ragged for the first time...
We got our letters and joined NIT Jalandhar ... I decided to join after somesays so that i can stay with the parents for some time... as i never had remained out of home for more than 4-5 days ..
I joined on 17 August and the classes had started by that time ....

FIRST CLASS @ NITJ
We'll after I had got admission into this college some people were happy with my decision while some were not but I decided to go on with what I had chosen and try to prove out a point....
When I had entered the campus earlier I had found it really beautiful... Being the most recent NIT the infrastructure was really good and also the buildings were well designed and planned.... First impression was a rather good one hence .... The first year hostel was also very beautiful with a garden surrounding it ... The managers sitting in the bottommost room of the hostel were looking like yamrajs ... trying to get most out of the new students as they don't have any idea of what is happening around .... Damn I think if i ever get a chance tomeet them again ... I will surely beat the hell out of 'em ...
My first day at the College was not really great as I after taking a room in the the first year hostel had to directly go and attend the class after the lunch break and how would you feel when in the first ever class that you attend in a college you are made to write down ... ( On a blackboard 4 pags from a book non stop in june with the sun at the top burning and the temperatures around 42 degrees ) .... I was sweating really profusely ..with all the classmates lookin at me and probably thinking... this man has got a really bad luck to be attending ...Mr. Thapars lecture ...
We'll that happened and I got the first chance to interact with the classmates who ... were wearing the normal attire as any fresher has to ....
1) Shirt ( Full Sleeves ) tugged out....
2) Only black shoes .... that too formal
3) Pants need tobe formal as well .... you should be able to see the crease perfectly ..
4) No belts allowed..
5) No wrist watch ...
6) Hair cut (army style .. we used to call that NIT cut .. even the barbers here knew about that)
7) Nothing in the front pocket of the shirt ...
8) Nothing in the pants front pocket ....
Thats it... huuuhhhhh .... Disgusting na... 'll at that time you think so ....
..............................................
Then I went to the hostel with the other class mates .... and spent my first night in hostel ....
This time around my father was also with me ...
Read the next blog to see how i spent the first night and how I felt . ....

We'll that happened and I got the first chance to interact with the classmates who ... were wearing the normal attire as any fresher has to ....
1) Shirt ( Full Sleeves ) tugged out....
2) Only black shoes .... that too formal
3) Pants need tobe formal as well .... you should be able to see the crease perfectly ..
4) No belts allowed..
5) No wrist watch ...
6) Hair cut (army style .. we used to call that NIT cut .. even the barbers here knew about that)
7) Nothing in the front pocket of the shirt ...
8) Nothing in the pants front pocket ....
Thats it... huuuhhhhh .... Disgusting na... 'll at that time you think so ....
..............................................
Then I went to the hostel with the other class mates .... and spent my first night in hostel ....
This time around my father was also with me ...
Read the next blog to see how i spent the first night and how I felt . ....
FIRST NIGHT @ NITJ
Well friends me back again ... and what you are viewing is the photograph of the academic block ... seeing this really inspires you to be in this college only....I have in my lifetime gone to many educational institutions but this building is amongst some of the best ..
Leaving all that apart I will go back to where I was ... My first day at NIT Jalandhar and the first class that I attended .... I returned back to the hostel at 5 ... that is the time when our classes used to end those days and went directly to the mess to have a cup of tea .... Before this I had met some of the seniors from my own state who were looking very helpful (May be because I was along with my father at that time ... ) .. anyways they told me that they will help me in any way I needed them to and assured DAD as well...
Being in the hostel mess for the first time was really a mixed feeling ... looked like someold resturant.. where all the tables had been joined together ... Some pictures were hanging on the walls as well and they tried to create a nice impression ... though you could feel the reality when you went in.... anyways I had my cup of tea and went directly to my room ....
.. The rooms were the temporary ones that were alloted to us and would be changed after some days as the students will be pouring in .... I arranged the bedding and DAd asked me to get acquainted with the students who were there ... I went to the terace and saw that a bunch of people were studying there talking about the sessionals that were scheduled to be on the 8th of next month ... well there was not too much time left as today was the 27th and it was my first day .....
I met some guys from punjab and a few guys from UP as well ... they were also discussing physics topics and i really got worried as there was not much time to prepare (.. though those sessionals never happened and got postponed by more than a week ..) but if you hear anything like this on your very first day you really don't know what to do ...
My very first roommate was a guy from AIT.. mechi guy... We stayed together for only three hours though when I shifted to some other room ...
There was no light in the room .. as we had to arrange our own tubelights or bulbs ... We got them after some time from a shop on the DS .... Then we had dinner(me and my dad) .. and went to sleep very early ...
I did not feel like sleeping so I decided to go to the neighbouring rooms to see who lived there ... I met students from Tamil Nadu..(First people I talked to at NITJ) ... then Imet a guy from goa and one from amritsar who also was staying there....we talked for along time on different topics and went to sleep at around 2...
I really could not sleep in that room as I had never had an xperience of sleeping in such a place but I closed my eyes and never knew when i went to sleep .. I was awoken by my father at 6 in the morning and then after getting fresh .. went to take breakfast.....
My father was leaving at the same time to jammu ..... I went along with him to the main gate and then came back and ate those delocious parathas.... (Never try to eat them ... I don't know how they make them) .. and then went to the class .....
Wellin thenext phase I will write about the friends that i made here in the first year ...

FIRST SEM @ NITJ
The first sem seemed to be going rather pathetically owing to the ragging and a lot of pressure of studies on us ..( though it isn't really like that .. the only difference was that we needed to appear for exams once in every six monthe rather than an year ) .. Anyways PDP really led to a lot of interaction with the seniors of various states and years and I would really like to add the seniors of our JK group were awesome ..( One of the deadliest GROUP at thet time ) .. In the beginning it seemed a bit awkward but then we got used to it ....
One of the major reason for the homesickness to go away was the admission of Chaitaniy Razdan in this college .. ('ll he is the coolest guy I have ever known ).. he really made the life at NITJ easy and we became a group .. (We 3 from jammu) .... Made a lot of friends in that semester from all over india... Some from South India .. Some from North east ..central india ... every place you can think of on the map ...
We got our room on the topmost floor .. though we never slept there during summers ... Met Sheetal,Rajat,Anmol,Vatsy,Loru,Akshay,Vineet all in that sem ..... and can never forget the fun that we made of Keshav (kela) ... A Highlight of first year ....
First sem contained everything from making mockery of kela TO the fights we had with haryanivis , GT people TO having bath in the tanker on the terrace TO playing cricket during the exams TO go to CHAIL with seniors TO make new friends TO sitting on DS waiting for the girls TO making calls from the telephone to the girls hostel TO playing football in the lobby and breaking the window panes TO get ragged ......
The best day however of the first sem was the freshers party at ranbir when we felt like being free .... danced a lot on that day and then real life at NITJ began...
The only moment that i think of changing though in that semester was the day when we made mockery of some of out teachers and were made to pay heavily for that ..( HUNTERZ ) .. cannot forget the name of thet team .... (We did what no one even in final year would have done .. )
The sem came to an end with the exams with me and vineet studying physics from eight books...(Oh god) .. and Vineet topped in that exam ... It was the only sem .. which I think we all studied ... I had learnt that you have to perform only one time and then it is all yours...
...... The next sem was even more interesting and I would be writing about that in the next post ..

SECOND SEM @ NITJ
The second semester started with a bang .... The strikes that we did in our college made it NITJ from RECJ and so the pattern of the examinations also changed ... We were free from the cluthes of pathetic PTU and I can still remember the slogan "PTU hai hai " ... this all happend in the first sem though but the after effects were to be seen in the second semester....
I got my first result in this college and to my surprise I had topped in the batch ... ( One thing I had never thought ) ... Anyways was a nice feeling to hear that sitting in the hostel mess ... People congratulating me .. was really great ..
I spend most of this semester in exploring the Jalandhar City ... Went to Amritsar with the friends and then to the wagah border ( .. Was my first trip with the friends and a kewl experience ..) .. How we made a mistake by boarding an auto from wagah to amritsar .. 26 Kms. in an autu rickshaw .. Uhhhh
Had a crush on a girl in the college for the first time ... Late night parties with the friends .. Working hard with the seniors to make Sanganak 2k2 a success and then seeing the movies in the seminar hall on the projector.... Got to know a lot of seniors in CSE during that period only...
The interaction with the branchmates also increased as the ragging period had ended and we were coming more closer day by day.
During the summer sleeping on the terrace and sometimes even pouring water on the matresses and then sleeping on them .. Playing cards with the friends in molas room and going unprepared to give the vivas.. Going home in the Press Vans (.. you weer never sure whether you would reach Jammu in those or not) .. going to see of vinnet on the railway station at b2'O clock and then returing back to hostel on Cycle+Truck+Car (DRiven by some drunkards) at 7 in the morning nad the interesting thing is thet vinnet reached jammu before we reached back to the Hostel...
Again preparing for the semester exams .. though this time not too much .. and then being happy on Surpassing jaggu to be the overall topper giving me a chance to change my branch ..( Which I eventually didn't do and i am happy not having done that .. ) ...
Then the training period of 1 month in the college in different departments ..(All the years gone and we alone ..) .. Making a lot of images for the MP file and then falling ill before going home and the file eventually being completed and submitted by my dear friends..
The only thing that I want to change in this semester was to awake chaitaniy every morning so that he didn't get detained in one subject .. ( Though amongst the ones appearing for it 50% failed ) .. but i still think he should have been given a chance to appear for it.. May be we were partly responsible for it..
Then it was the turn of the third sem .. the sem we all would be seniors .. Gettins a new hostel .. Finding new galz and ragging them ... It would be really interesting...
The next post would be on how the third sem at NITJ was..
