Changing the template... A pain

Goshh... Its killing me.. Trying to get the previous links (of frnds) on here.. But, could not get them.. So, a new lesson learnt.... Do not change the template of your blog until and unless you are sure that you know what to do next.. :P

!@#&*()_ )(*&^%$#@

Hmm

After a looong gap am here again.. (Ya.. its abt a movie again).. :)

Last night, I happened watch this movie called "Green Street Hooligans". I generally have a habit of getting TOO much involved when I watch a movie and so only prefer watching HAPPY ENDING movies.. I did not enquire abt this movie and had to watch the tragic ending which I never expected would happen.. Did not sleep well yesterday night because of this.. :(

This again makes me feel watching non-realistic telugu movies would be better which 95% have a happy ending (May be thts how people frm my place want movies to be.. :P)

Iron Man

Watched Iron Man today. Was a nice movie. Worth watching it atleast once. A nice techie film and am sure the ones who have interest i n techie stuff will love this one.

Waiting fr Narnia. :)

Mixture of Emotions...... :)

Now my exams got over. But, this time the feeling was a bit different. Overall I worked well for the two projects I got to complete fr my course. They were awesome projects and I really enjoyed doing them. Experienced a lot of emotions while doing the project. May be that's common for those who keep working hard fr their projs or work. But, it is really something new to me. Overall, the last 5 weeks were a mixture of excitement, frustration, enthusiasm, happiness and anger coming one after another in a cyclic sequence.

But the best part was that I was able to submit something in the end. I am sure I will someday forget abt this work. So, I thought of just posting it here so that may be after some days reading this post will give me some nice feelings.. :) :)

A day to remember.. :)

Its 4:30AM on a Sunday and I just came back frm the lab. Nyways comin back at such times is not uncommon (considering the previous 4 weeks).

But today, I spent more than 17hrs at a stretch to work on my project (which I never thought of).. which is due the comin Wednesday.. Guess, this is th first time tht I happened to sit in frnt of the comp workin fr so long...

My eyes got screwed.. and I feel them pleading me fr some rest... Donno when I am gonnaake up, but these 17hrs were so efficient.. tht I remembered Uncle's statement AGAIN "The efficiency to work is inversely proportional to the time remaining fr the dead line".. :)

Hmmm

Hmm.. Got bored watching my Gmail Inbox all the while.. (without a single genuine email frm the past 7-10 days).. Seems like time has come fr me to shut gmail fr a while and return back after some days.... Plannin to do tht in a while if I still feel the same abt tht..

Spring Brk 2008 - aka - A small get-together

My Spring break 2008 went successful. A report on my Spring brk.... 5 days in 5 paragraphs.. :)

I started to Chicago on Friday midnite and reached on Saturday. I met my friend Praneeth there. It was nice to meet him as I met him after a gap of arnd 21 months. We had lunch in an Indian Restrau. and we had enuf that kept us away frm being hungry until the next morning. That day we also watched a movie called "Bank Job".

The next day, I had to catch a flight from Chicago to DC, where 3 of our classmates (Ritu, Mungeri and myself) planned to meet. I met Mungeri in the airport. It was a long journey from Baltimore airport to DC. It nearly took us 2 hrs time to finally catch the third one, Ritu. It is always nice to meet our close pals especially after a looooong gap. After some intial comments abt each other ("Ritu.. U did not change", "Mungeri.. U started getting a nice belly", "Siva.. U got shrunk", etc), we went to a river bank.. where it was so nice that I just felt like sitting there and just pass on time. But, the weather made us move frm the place back to the room. The remaining day we spent chatting abt all the silly and stupid stuff we used to do in BHU.

The next day, we watched The Capitol, The White House, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Memorial and Jefferson Memorial(lots of Mem.s huh..! ). It was a lot of walk... but yeah it was fun (May be its bcoz, I forced them to walk at my pace tht they don't realize the effort they put to walk).. ;) Also, we had been to some lakeside place, which was Ritu's fav. spot. The place was so nice that I just felt like sitting there and keep watching the planes take off one after another. Tht nite, due to lack of gud movies in Hollywood ;) (no unanimous decision), we finally decided to watch Om Shanti Om.

The last day in DC, we went to a park. I loved the park very much. May be next time, if I happen to go to DC, I will plan to spend one day there... Just keep walkin all along.... Later, that day, we went to have dinner at an Ethiopian restrau. It is in Maryland and we had to commute fr arnd 45 mins to reach there. But, after getting into the restaurant, I felt tht it was worth comuting fr 45 mins. The dinner was amazing. The bread(thts wht they call) looked similar to DOSA and also tasted like tht. It was so nice that, the more bread I had, the more I wanted to.. Had them till my stomach finally gave up.. but the tongue was ready to accept.. if there was any place left.. :). Later tht nite, Mungeri left to NY.

The nxt morning, I caught my flight back to Chicago. I had my bus to Ames at 9:45PM. So, I had abt 11 hrs time. As I cudn't meet Praneeth, I decided to check out Chicago. I was lucky, as tht day it was not as windy as it was when I went b4. So, walked along Lake Michigan for abt 3-4 hrs. After taking some rest, I started walking on the streets of downtown Chicago for abt 3 hrs amidst those TAAALLL skyscrapers all around. Then finally came back to the bus station and slept there until my chance has come to catch the bus to Ames.

So, the tour to Chicago and DC went very well. Credits to Ritu fr her planning and making the tour an enjoyable one....
