Hathoda Beating Hathoda

Well you must have guessed what this post is about, since I was stressed out much due to whole day exam study, I decided to watch Karthik calling Karthik and get a little stretched (since I am missing Episode 20 in HIMYM, so…..), I thought because its Deepika, it would be at least not regretful.

****SPOILER ALERT**** : Following details reveal the suspense of the movie, so those who want to feel the Hathoda please do not read

The movie is about a guy who is losing everything in his life and pretty much reticent, to that extent that everyone uses him. One day when he is about to suicide,a guy named Karthik calls him and decided to help him. His life takes a U-turn and he is on the Cloud 9. But when he divulges this secret to his girlfriend, the phone Karthik does not like this and ruins his life again. He runs to a different city, and back in Mumbai, Deepika and his psychiatrist dig up the mystery behind “Karthik Calling Karthik” and come to know that he is schizophrenic and has been recording conversations and using alarm in phone, and then they help him recover.

That’s it, end of story. Full stop. It seems like movie is going in a right direction until the mid, but then waaayyyy to awkward during the end. That Karthik calling on phone seems like he is Yamraj, his voice is outstandingly villainous. And c'mon, recorded conversations ??? Ok, the concept is good, it’s an all-new concept, but the end disappointed me. It could have been better.

Besides the story, the thing I liked in the movie is Deepika and Farhan’s acting. He is a natural. Any role suits him, this film would basically be a boost to his acting career, but this film won’t do any wonders either a Box Office and the audience.

1 for Farhan’s Acting, 1 for story (not the climax) and 0.5 for Deepika, 2.5/5 would be my rating.

07bce_ _ _@nirmauni.ac.in - A Revolution in Itself

Thanks to NAAC !!! Atleast we got our Nirma Mail ids…..

You can, or lets say, you “will” definitely argue what is the advantage of having an extra mail id, if you have your own cool “youname_yourage_yourpassion_somecoolquote@gmail/yahoo/hotmail.com/co.in” thing, this thing sucks as its based on your roll number, which obviously you won’t be using to “represent” youselves.

As a matter of fact, if you didnt know, apart from your own name, there a few stupid things in this contemporary world that represents “you” and is considered as a part of your identity:
1. Phone Model (“oooohhhhhhh…..you have the Nokia 5 blah blah blah model thats cool” Every model is the same)
2. Phone Number (“oooohhhhhhh…..you have 3 9s and 4 7s in your number, so lucky” I never understood numerology, and hate it too)
3. SIM Operator (“oooohhhhhhh…..you use the Vodafone, the puppys sooo cute, BSNL sucks….but i have a girlfriend so I use Reliance” Whats puppy got to do with the usage, and ya BSNLs cheap and Reliance sucks)
4. Free Message Scheme (“oooohhhhhhh…..you have 10k messages for 100 bucks, i only have 5K messages for 50 bucks…..” DUDE ????)
5. Your Email (this one is not that much hyped….but i cant still find this thing a reason to represent your identity???)
6. Social Networking Sites Profile (NO COMMENTS)

So, not digressing further, this “thing” that a mere roll number represents us drives us crazy and brings out our long lost ego back to full fledge “HOW CAN A STUPID COLLEGE ROLL NUMBER BE OUR IDENTITY???”. But trust me, the pros far outweigh the cons.

1. The main advantage is, you are not drilled in labs for checking your emails. You can always tell your faculty “I am checking the assignments and class test results”. This is infact the best one…

2. YOU DONT NEED INTERNET IN THE LABS TO CHECK THIS OUT. Should’ve been in the first place, but, you know, the faculty issues. Any normal user will think you are a dumbass if you say you dont need internet for checking out mails, but since this service is available from a local server in Nirma, you can access internet from ALL LABS spanning the Entire Institute of Technology (or whole NU ??? PLZ CHECK). This rocks !!!

3. We dont need to remember the email addresses of our classmates/batchmates, a simple roll number or name would suffice. This is one of the most awesome features of this revolutionizing technology, everyone agrees remembering email addresses is a pain in the head, although we can save them, but, this one’s even better.

4. A Little Lazy Loophole - never have to do the practicals on your own (well actually 99% never do it), and you dont have to copy from others too, just open the practical list at some free time at home, and mail all the readymade programs from the internet on your account, and since there you can access it from any lab, well it gives you something to brag about…(if you are lazy enough to do that also…copying still is an option)

5. People can chat with each other across labs (Chatting through mails, too much exaggerated right ???)

Apart from these cool advantages, the overall pros about going B.Tech Online are:
1. Dont have to write the questions of assignments
2. Download ppts and material directly instead of begging it from the faculty in a pen drive
3. View test scores of everyone (go screwing around, have fun)
4. View test papers and solutions
5. View exam papers (solutions ???)
6. Share documents

So, I think apart from the Faculty, HODs, Peons, Toilet Cleaners, the Colosseum ‘10 team and a girls group who also took pain in the ass during the NAAC visit, I think the visit has made our life in Nirma a little more comfortable…….Finally we feel like “WE’VE GONE TECH”, Thanks NAAC !!! May you visit every year and add such new wonderful features to our college. Tally HO !!!

The Worst Subject - SE

SE (Software Engineering) is by far the most complicated theory subject i’ve ever come across, it is so bad that it is impossible to device a strategy to “mug it up”, let alone understand it. The facts are conquering one another in the realm of one’s understanding domain.
Its hard to distinguish between the chapters and the facts are published in a so subtle manner, one cannot tell whether he/she has already learned this previously or not, everything looks so afresh.
And the modelling chapter, OMG, all the models look the same to me, not even a slight shade of difference.
We dont even come closer to writing our self created fiction in the exams because everything is so technical, yet so stupid.
Taking a bunk today for learning SE will be one the greatest mistakes of my life…and I hope everyone who did the same thing will agree…
