Only if I could stop the time!

I wish I could stop the ticking time!
This beautiful moment, I just don't want to pass it away...
This instance of love, I wish I could live for ever.. and ever..
I wish we could be together in this moment... for ever and ever..
Never would I start it again.. never.. ever..

How wonderful it would be if time was in our hands, and we could start it and stop it at our own wish!
From the most beautiful moments we live in our life, to the worst and depressing times we have seen,
what if we could just slow down time and enjoy the happy moments..  or just fast forward it in times of sorrow!

In circuits, there are these elements called Flip-flops which have memory and can store or remember a single bit(0 or 1).
I wish I had some element which could store or remember time too!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could to go to my childhood, sleep in the arms of my parents, play with my brothers and sisters, steal chocolates from the kitchen, play whole day with my friends without worrying about all the worldly problems and just relive myself once again, just for a few seconds??!!

What if I devise an instrument with the help of space-time equation and have the ability to stop time from ticking away.. from taking away precious moments with the best people in my life? with the most loved ones in my life??

I wish I could.. I really wish I could..! 

Is this the right time to take up issue of corruption on a primary note?

Note: The following views and thoughts are strictly personal. Neither do I belong to any political party nor do I support any. The views may vary from person to person.

Arvind Kejriwal may be right that after many years, there has been a current of wave to drive away corruption from this country. He is taking measures to any extent to achieve a non-corrupt India.
But just stop and think for a moment, a middle class man who has a daughter wanting to become a doctor, a son who wants to become an engineer, a wife who wants a new saree, and his parents who are suffering from some kind of illness. Now, what in the world would affect him if the JanLokpal Bill is passed or not?  Why would he even care if Modi is helping Ambanis or not?
Mind well, I am talking on a very thin line of demarcation between what is right and what is wrong.
Please try to understand and take this positively. I am not saying that if the middle class person does not care, people are free to indulge in malpractices. NO. Not at all. But also, sometimes yes.
I was learning Principles of Economics, and there I came under this concept called 'Trade-Off'.
Today, if you notice, this concept of Trade-Off has crept in our daily lives in disguise of our actions, our virtues, our necessities, our everything!
The point I am trying to convey here is that, there hasn't been enough opportunities for the middle class population in the last 7-10 years. There is this devil called corruption, which has suppressed those opportunities.
There are two types of corruption, one which creates opportunities, and the one which destroys them.
Again, I am talking on a very silver lining, so e.g. If a person is indulged with the business group of India, and is helping them creating opportunities, our GDP increases, foreign income increases, imports and exports increase, and in the end it is the common man who gets benefited.
This is not corruption actually, its a trade-off. Sometimes, it is taken in the wrong sense.

Also, the realization that we are in 21st century and the fact that technology is evolving at a lightning speed nowadays, we can see countries like China, Japan, USA,... hell lot of research work, newer technology day by day, inclination of people towards science and innovation,etc, etc... when was the last time you saw an innovation or a technology in India creating a breakthrough in the field of Science and Technology? We have companies like Google creating Google Glass, Google Watch, companies like Sony,Samsung, spending loads on R&D. I am not underestimating India, but we need to open our eyes. Within 2020, there will be a whole new world of technology and innovation, super computers, augmented reality, and infinite many things. India will have to push its limits if it wants to be there on an equal footing with other countries.
What I am saying is that, this is not the time to take up issue of corruption on a primary note.
We need to create opportunities, make a breakthrough, invest in R&D, create job opportunities, make the business policies flexible, and much more.

The irony of life

"The most unfair thing  about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot  of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a  bonus?

I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first,  get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked  out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You  work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You  do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to  grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities,  you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last  nine months floating …and you finish off as an orgasm."

How to configure Windows8 App Store for lan at IITM

With the introduction of metro interface in Windows 8, you can install and use the apps from the App Store.
But it requires a direct internet connection. For using the app store on a Proxy Server like in IITM, it has to be properly configured.
I will show you a few methods for it.

1. Go to Start. Type cmd. Right Click on it and select 'Run as Admistrator'.
You will see the following:
C:\windows\system32>

Now run the command:
C:\windows\system32>netsh

It will reflect as:
netsh>

Now type:
netsh> winhttp

netsh winhttp>

Enter the following:

set proxy hproxy.iitm.ac.in:3128

You will see that the WinHTTP proxy settings have changed.
Try to run the app store.
If not, go to the following method.

2. On Desktop, press windows+R.
Type wsreset.exe and run the command.
Try the app store now.

The IITM forest-Experiences in a jungle

When you enter the campus, the fabulous flora and fauna welcome you in their own style!
The birds singing, the snakes hissing, monkeys along with mongooses- climbing and chattering,
and of course, the deer bounding, alongwith blackbucks, the white blackbucks and 'black' blackbucks.
There are also their predators.

There are only few tigers left in the forest now and the numbers are fast declining since the number of students have increased recently... (joking!)

Campus is divided in three major zones, the residential zone, academic zone and the hostel zone.
The residential zone is for the professors.
There are some avenues like Bonn avenue, Madras avenue and Delhi avenue.

These avenues meet up at the heart of the campus, the Gajendra Circle.
Its basically a statue of two elephants with a fountain, but its beauty is more than I have described.
The circle becomes alive, in the sense that the G.C. reveals its elegance during the insti festivals-
Saarang and Shaastra and also during the Convocation ceremony.

Also, there is a lake at IITM which is in residential zone. There are frequent cases of students roaming at the lake at around 2a.m...

I could have never discovered a temple near the lake, unless I would have gone 'exploring' the campus with a map in hand, torch and a water bottle in my bag. Wish I could have a fedora on that exploration!
(Note: Fedora is a type of hat.)

The GC connects all the three zones.
All the hostels, the Taramani Guest House, Student Facility Centre,etc. come under Hostel zone.
The hostels are named after the rivers,e.g. Saraswathi hostel, Godavari hostel.

There are five mega messes. The food at the mess is too awesome to describe.
I do not know the quality of food these days, as my lunch has mainly been in fruit shop consisting
of bananas and watermelons.
With this, I want to show the people, who did not manage to get in here, that there is at least
one thing they are better off at.

There is a Student Activities Centre(SAC) at which, programmes like Freshie Night, some Tech-Soc events,
and also Convocation, are held.

The various Departments like Electrical Sciences, Computer Sciences, Chemistry, etc. come under
the Academic zone.
Most of the classes for first year course curriculum are held in the Class Room Complex(CRC).

There is also a workshop, that students use to realise
what hard work is all about. By the end of the course,
the student will be a qualified construction worker,
painter, miner, carpenter, electrician, moulder, musician, beautifician,
lift-boy and of course badly injured.

Apart from the above topics,
there are also topics worth discussing like festivals (Shaastra, Saarang,some unknown management festival),
the labs at IIT Madras, the library, Schroeter, Tech-soc, Lit-soc, Centre for Innovation, Sustainability network but i just ran out of ink and hence won't be writing about any of the above topics.

MyFirstPost

Hello Guys!
This is my first post on my first blog(in fact, second, the first one was just a name...).

I have my quizzes going on at IITM and there's a kind of mini vacation before the last quiz.
So I thought to get my hands on learning some HTML and Javascript.

Here I am at the library, the thinnest book on HTML I have got, and made a couple of webpages... "Hello World!" sort of.

As I was surfing through the web (viewing the sources of the web pages),accidently(!), I came across a blog. It was all about presenting the situations sarcastically. I found it quite humorous.

Heyy, what about creating my own blog, I thought.
And, I landed up here.

Right now, I am not getting what more should I write.
I will think of what all to be posted on my blog in future.

Till then, Enjoy.

Congrats to me, on creation of my debut blog, and successful posting of my first post!
