It's Time To Get Lucky!!

Welcome to my personal blog. This blog is like no other. I am a one-of-a-kind in this world. Who knows? Reading my stories here, some movie maker may just make a documentary about me. Prepare to be entertained. Prepare to be blown off your feet. Enjoy your time here.

Procrastination and pretence

It’s the weekend. And it’s over. Tomorrow is the start of the last week of August. I hold no pride in saying that I have seriously wasted another weekend by staying at home and not studying much. The 1st test will be held in a week’s time and I am yet to prepare for it. Of course the usual pretence of studying was there. I hadn’t been to college yesterday because it was a holiday declared to honour the death of U R Ananthamurthy, an eminent Kannada writer. Sadly, I got to know that he existed only yesterday. How ignorant I am of the world around me! On Friday, I had gone to buy the books to fill up my arsenal. So that I can feel comfortable that I have something to show that I am studying atleast lol. I bought the following: Optical fiber communication by John M Senior and another by local author Hebbar, to add up to another by Bagad Digital circuits by Anand Kumar GATE aptitude I have bought 3 books in total for OFC because I am already scared of that subject since last year 2 of my friends had failed in it. I also ended my search of finding a good digital electronics book to study for GATE. The book’s contents matches with the syllabus. Finally, I bought a presumably good book to study for GATE aptitude. Sweet dreams.

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

#FAIL

Should I be back here writing my fail stories? Should I document my life of being a failure? I don't know what to write. People always read success stories. Are people interested in reading stories of failure? Sure that failures are the stepping stones to success. But when is my time to step on the stone of success? I see no light at the end of the dark tunnel. Musigma aptitude test was a disaster. It was a hard slap on the face of my ego. I couldn't even answer 2 or 3 questions properly out of the 15 questions asked. I couldn't manage time as well. I spent nearly 5 minutes on one question. The bar graph question was ridiculous. Don't want to discuss it now. I was sure I wouldn't get selected to the next round, but had simply gone to see the process of recruiting by musigma. The PPT was given and questions answered by a lady who was the HR in it. I learnt that musigma is a decision sciences company which serves many Fortune 500 companies and helps them increase their profits further. Today was another day wasted in my more than 22 years of existence as a human on the face of earth. Didn't study much for the test approaching. Need to get serious. Need to struggle hard. I'm a GATE aspirant and this test has certainly revealed my overconfidence and zero preparation for a highly competitive and tough exam. Not in a mood to write much today. Epic fail day. Epic failure in life as well.

We are each free to believe what we want and it is my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization. There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful.

The diploma dilemma

Another day at college and I have a mild headache. Dilip sir just told me to make minor corrections in my VLSI lab record and he was more friendly with me when compared to other people. Guess I have already put up a good impression. Met a junior on the way back home and was curious to see his neat notes of field theory. Also learnt that Nakul sir takes that subject and it was his notes which he had taken for Xerox. Had a nice conversation with Narendra, the junior, but I ended up scaring him that he might fail in FT because he studied diploma and they don't teach vector algebra and basics of electromagnetics in there. I advised him to study maths and physics of PU so that he can gain a grasp of what he should study. He himself told that the notes seemed like Greek and Latin to him and that he was going to mug up the derivations, which I strictly forbid him from doing. Told him that VTU twists questions in every exam of almost every subject and it would be of no use at all if he doesn't understand what he is studying. Also told him to skip the 1st internals of FT by asking permission from Nakul sir, for his own good. After coming back home, I instantly got hooked on to tumblr and decided to customise this blog. I tried various good themes, but they all ended up giving links to annoying ads by highlighting random words in my posts as well as the introduction. Finally ended up choosing optica with column layout and changed my header and avatar pics, but still the same problem of annoying ads persist. Later, I had a look at the textbooks which I have bought to see whether they are sufficient for scoring good marks in the exams. Turned out that the optical fiber communication book by V Bagad doesn't explain about brillonin and Raman scattering. Guess I will have to refer to the prescribed textbooks from the library for this one subject. Also got to know of the circular that only those who are eligible for placements on a day are only exempted from attending classes on that day, but others will be marked absent if they don't attend. I'm worried that I might have missed many classes and I may risk being not eligible for the 1st internals. I have still not attended even one class of DSP algorithms. I hope I get attendance for it from SP class, of which I have missed about 2 or 3 classes. One more deadline remains. Need to prepare for the aptitude test. I have hardly started. Only good news is that the headache has now disappeared. All thanks to tumblr.

It's all about the time

As I sit here (rather lie down) to write my first ever proper blog post, I wonder what title is suitable for what I am going to write down here. I guess I will decide it after I complete my blogpost. It's already 9 pm on Sunday, aug 17, 2014. I'm exactly 22 years and 2 months old. But it still feels like I have just turned 18. I just couldn't keep track of how time flew past during my dark days. The days when… well I don't want to remember those days. Need to move on with life. Forget and forgive myself. Lot of work is lying unfinished now and I am writing this blogpost to relieve the stress from the strenuous writing work since the past two hours. Doing something you like is better than doing nothing when you want to take a break. Maintaining a personal blog is one of the things I like, but I guess I was too lazy or busy to start a blog of my own and here I am. Deadlines are nearing. Work is still pending. Need to submit VLSI lab record tomorrow but till now I have done only the schematic part. Need to write and draw (that too with colour pencils) the symbol part, transient analysis, DC analysis, parametric analysis, layout and conclude it. Not to forget, need to prepare for my mu-sigma placement process on 20th aug and I have barely studied anything for that. Fortunately I have written the CV and taken the printout. Oh yes, there's another deadline nearing but I won't talk about it now. Let it remain a suspense for sometime. That's a deadline that I have set for myself. To achieve long term goals, we need to take one step at a time, for we may trip down and fall if we make haste. It's been 20 minutes since I have started to write this. Time really flies even now. Guess I will have to make 'time catching machine' as my major project next semester. LOL. Time is precious more than anything in this world. If I invent a machine that holds time 'for some time', then I would arguably become the richest person in the history of mankind. LOLZ. Guess I will have to go to sleep now. Will complete my record work tomorrow morning hopefully before I leave for college. I am sure nobody will have written their record, so I will have to ask my classmates whether I should show my record or not. Nevertheless, I will submit my record and receive praise from Dilip sir, and some sticks from my batch mates as well LOLZZZ. Time taken to write this blogpost-30 mins. Man I should seriously start considering my idea for my major project. Or start doing things in a faster and more efficient way. Good night friend. Thanks for reading my post. Hope you didn't get bored. I promise you that I will be writing more interesting posts in the near future while I slowly reveal my thoughts and tell you about my past. Believe me. It's worth it.

My first blog

Thought that a blog might be useful in the near future and tumblr is the only good blogging website which has an iPod touch app. So it will be easier for me to blog on this device. Give me some time to get accustomed to this site and I promise you that you'll be blown away by what I write… Nimma Preethiya Krishna
