Ideas Lost!

In fond memory of all those ideas lost. All the ideas which could never see the face of this world. Maybe because the thinker wasn't brave enough or the circumstances around him were too intimidating. Either way, things happened for the worse and all that is left to say is this poem

So what if this world is a place where ideas rain
What if something spectacular comes out of this brain
Who cares if there are ideas on which one can think
and things which one might want to link
at the end of the day, everything goes into the drain

Machines with wisdom?

Prof : You can't be an experimentalist! Do you really think you can think of an algorithm which works in all the cases. x-(

The fact is everytime I see myself trying to solve a problem in AI (Vision to be specific!) and trying to make the machine think, I somehow get a feeling that I've adopted the machine and now I'm morally obliged to take care of it and do everything in order to make it think. Do you know what that means? You have to slip into the boots of the machine. Think in the same way as it does - sequentially, one thing after the other. And this is where problems begin. I can't seem to think straight. Crazy it may sound but more frustrating is the fact that each and every guy seems to be thinking straight!

People sometimes ask you of the thing you are most afraid of. This is what I'm afraid of... that a day might come when you would have lost your confidence over yourself. Let alone think of the solution to a simple problem, you can't even think systematically. :(

Today If I would have got a chance, I would love to go back in time and do things differently, undo the damage of some of the decisions I've taken this far. But then it's life rite! It's an adventure!!

On movies

A few days back I, Srirang and Bhargava were having this discussion on bollywood movies when I realized that I had missed out on a lot of good movies. For example, till yesterday I didn't watch Rang De Basanti. Not that I never got the time to watch it. But then better late than never!!

The film was awesome and would very easily be one the best movies I've ever seen. But the most impressive were the dialogues in the movie. I felt they were kinda inspirational. It was the first movie of Soha Ali Khan that I had seen and so I don't know whether she is really a good actor or she acted very awesome only in this movie... I guess it was the talent of Aamir Khan which inspired everyone to act really well.

So what's next??

I plan on covering a few more movies which are tagged as a "must see" like

1. Munnabhai MBBS
I really wanna watch this movie. They say it has a mix of everything and it's a bit senti towards the end too! It might seem a bit amusing but I have seen Lago Raho Munnabhai. Lago Raho... was nice. I actually saw it bacause I sorta like Vidya Balan :D

2. Dil Chahta Hai
Another cult movie. People sometimes laugh that I never saw this movie. The problem is I can't get hold of the movie!!

3. The last 45 min of Lagaan
Actually I was watching this one at home when power went off and I could never see the last 45 min... as above can't seem to find this anywhere either!!

4. Taare Zameen Par
My cousins actually stopped talking to me for a week or two when I told them I didn't watch this movie!! This will be the movie I'll cover first. By the time you are reading this post, hopefully, I would have covered the movie!!

5. Chak De India
One more of those inspirational movies, Srirang calls it a must watch movie and has also told me that I should cover it immediately after Taare Zameen Par.

I'm planning on covering these movies and then maybe i'll check on a few hollywood movies too. Did I ever tell you that Forrest Gump is the only movie of Tom Hanks I've ever seen?? :D

Crappy Point#1 : This post has been as a draft for quite sometime now... Thought let's post it!

Crappy Point#2 : Went to attend a Blogger's meet in MS campus yesterday. Nice Campus, nice food, nice people, boring session... :(

what happens next?

I enter my room. The room is dark, so I go and switch on the tubelight. An instant later, the room is lit and I suddenly look at the shabbiness of my room. NO PROBLEM!! I'll just go with it. Maybe just switch off the light and have a nice good sleep.

So, I switch off the light and get under the blanket. It's too hot now and I realize I forgot the fan. SHIT!! Get out of the bed and switch on the fan. Now it's better, but you don't feel like sleeping anymore... Pick up a book and start reading it da! So I pick up and switch on the light (yet again!) and start reading it. You start feeling drowsy... your eyes drooping... you are about to fall asleep... you are almost there... that someone knocks the door!! SHIT!!

Wassup man! Did you check that mail? Did you talk about that thing... did you check out that girl... did you know Pepe Jeans is having 50% discount... bc, bc++, bc 2.0!!! basically another night gone awry :(

moral of the story -- neva mind! :)

Days back then...

Time :: Maybe when I was in my 8th class

I and my gang of 4 others, we would run to our friend's place and grab a stool or a chair and sit in front of the TV and tune to Star World. We would all wait with our mouths wide... very wide... extra wide open.... Why??? Because it was BAYWATCH da!!

Pamela Anderson and Yasmine Bleeth were two people who made us look forward in life and expect some really good things... And then there was another favorite of ours... V.I.P!!! How can one ever forget that show which used to come on AXN!! Totally friggin' awesome it was!

Back in those days, I was a confused guy, but life was great back then... I wish I could relive those moments... :( Just for once.

Arbit Musings...

1. The moment a person loses his self-respect, he becomes a corpse... A Walking Corpse.

2. The only reason a man looks at himself in the mirror every morning is because he either finds himself great looking or is in need to prove something...

3. Life is an MST. The points are your various goals in life and you need to construct an MST. Some people plan their journey using their instincts and take a decision which appears the best at that particular time(Kruskal's Algorithm) while others take a decision which will prove beneficial in a long run(Prim's Algorithm.) All I want to say is people following Prim's algorithm need to get a life.

4. Human being by nature is not a sadist but if someone drives him up the wall, he would do a anything to piss off the other guy and totally f**k his case.

Amen x-(

Strange, Stranger and fubar!

An intellectually stimulated guy after watching Om Shanti Om had his own views on the matter.

Sharukh Khan : Agar tum kisi cheez ko paane ki koshish karo to saari kayanat tumhe use milane se nahi rok sakti"

However, this guy X had something else to say here. "The harder you try to achieve something, double the effort is put by the world to completely F**K your case!!"

Think about it, it's actually right! None of our plans ever materialize. Partly 'coz of our laziness but mostly because things around us are so very pissing off... :X

Thanks to Hawkins, the pressure building around us has become so intolerable that upholding on'e Prestige is an uphill struggle.

Phatta of the day
Me (in Amitabh Bachchan style) : Mein orkut mein hoon, mein Facebook mein hoon, mySpace mein hoon, Flickr mein hoon, Photobucket mein hoon, Youtube mein hoon, blip.tv mein hoon... Tu kisme hai bey??

Him (slightly shocked and looking around) : Mein apne room mein hoon...

Till then...
xoxo CRAP BOY :D
