Check this out..

Hey..

Recently I stumbed upon this cute little software called "Stumble" (wow what a coincidence- "I stumbling upon stumble "- ok that was PJ, even I didnt laugh for it), anway what this software does is (ok purists its actually a plugin for my browser, & not exactly a software), once you set your area of interest it stumbles upon some interesting site of the web , which you normally wouldn't know exists.

This one is really amazing I am already addicted to the plugin, you should chk out some of the site it turned out to me recently.

1. Click here to reach the site, where I heard your voice ( seriously ppl, It was a pleasure to hear you after so very long).

2. Click here to see some seeing very good applied art work ( beg you pardon.. did I just say, applied art work- whatever it means)

3. Click here to find out if you girl friend / boy friend (or friends as the case may be).. is lying with you. ( ok that was seriously a typo, I meant lying to you.. C'mon it was really a typo, why would you need a website to tell you if your G/B friend was lying with you, can't you figure that out yourself).

ok.. thats all for this edition of Times of Sathish.... cya till we meet again.. ( "cya till we meet again" isnt that Ironic).

One Question?

I was just thinking about this today.... was wondering what you all would say if it was asked of you.

If you are not who you are.. who would you rather prefer to be??

( C'mon dont say yourself, I said you are not to be who you are, so choose somebody else. and dont choose me too, I am already taken).

Regs.
Sathish yet again.

Atlas Strugged - the plight of poor me...

woof... this article might look a bit exaggerated (but then everything at this school is an exaggeration and working hard to make the exaggeration a reality, thus it is no longer remains an exaggeration).. so where was I, yeah.. I was saying it is getting very very tough and tougher for us here.

Acads:
To just give you a feeler.... we have about 8 papers ( To call the paper related to the same domain would be like calling all Indians are brothers and sisters. Yeah sure, of course all Indians are humans, and thats where the commonality ends), so we end us studying really diverse papers and start making funny combinations (maybe there actually exists a relation who knows) such as Managerial economics applied in organisational behaviour, Quantative techniques in Personnel Managment, Marketing in Basic Financial Accounting. and what not..

Infact its so bad (or so good, depends on whos side you are)...is you are expected to be in a expert in the subject (seriously guys) in flat 2 months (in a neat 20 class each). you can imagine, well for people like me (who know as much accounting as a average tamilian knows hindi - incidently I am a tam.) how tough it is to go from absolute scratch to advanced theories in 2 months time. - Frankly I have never done so much in life in 2 months as much as I am doing here.

A typical day:
Also considering that the college is world famous for its personnel management course- they got some pathetic work times (ok.. I cant blame the college here, its we should take the credit for this one), but it gets you to sleep at 4:30 am and wake up at 7:30 am and then catch a half a breakfast, half tea, half dressed (I mean fully dressed, but no so well done), then catch half of whats taught in class (here too I mean, we more or less figure out which subject class we are attending to.. -btw listen guys, my measure of half's are very different yours ok).

And by then you are awake, it lunch time and guess what by then since you are fully awake, you realize how sick the mess food is and end up eating only half of whats being served and as for the sleep part - you realise that for a normal sane humanbeing needs atleast 6 hours of sleep (that is 3 hrs less what you had). so you try to catch up for it by sleeping a quick 1 hr during lunch break and hopefully the rest after your 7:30 pm class.....

and guess what at the end of all this you really ignore "Time" as a factor in your life and dont mind if its really morning, when you wake up or is it lunch time you have food. so basically you get back to stone age and eat when you want, sleep when there is time, work when you got work.So to put it the other way, the sun, come and goes when he pleases, you get up and do whenever it pleases please you.

so that being that..... I am reminded of the book Atlas strugged ( which incidentlly is my most fav. book, I would have read it like what,, 30 times..), I knew what the phrase meant, but now I know what exactly it feels like.

Why Do I Blog?

Recently a friend of mine, asked my why do I blog?

Well I have been blogging for sometime now, but havent really sat about thought about why do I such a seemingly useless thing. why do I want to spend time on something which most probably nobody is going to ever read and if anyone reads, adds absolutely no value to them.

Well for starters, If I didnt know why I do, I atleast knew what not to do, First I dont intend to make my blog a personal diary of mine and jot down everything that happens to me. Which is why I got absolutely no qualms as to who reads my blog and who doesnt, but it sure does make you a much wiser person if you do read my blog.

Anyway " The raison d' tere ( which is some forign word-french or latin or whatever- for purpose) of my blog is ( Heck.. does everything in this world has to have a purpose, why cant it just exist for what it is), that It just makes ME feel good, when I look at something at a different perspective and put it in my blog without having to really bother whether somebody is interested in hearing it not.( like a vent out for your thoughts which you cant normally say to anyone else)..

The other option if I hadn't start my own blog, is to have thought of all the funny things I normally think of - and keep talking To myself and laughing alone... Woof thank god, somebody invented the blog concept, before I got insane..

So guys, now you know why I type in all the crap I type in, Its because the person who visits my blog the most is myself( I outnumber my next nearest visitor by 20 times - if that is some kind of statistic), and guess what, I get a different perspective/ mood of things everytime I read the blog I post in and I love blogging.

PS: I also want to prove a point here( yeah again to myself), that If I need be, I can write about even nothing for a page-just as this one.

Luv.
Just Sathish - nothing more, nothing less.

Tribute to Trina

Hi Trina: This blog is for you, ( I know you never get bored, so I shall try to make this as boring as possible)..

For others, why am I dedicating this post to a friend whom I don’t know, well for starters, she happens to be my first blog fan (do I need to add that she’s only person who I don’t know, who reads my blog). but other gals don’t get disappointed yet (and spoil my chances), She’s already engaged and has been steady for over 6.5 yrs (wooof, Congrats Tina, I didn’t know, one could go steady with a person for 6.5 yrs, Just for the record my first crush lasted for all of 5 minutes ha ha..)

Well otherwise if you are interested in GRAX (Gossips and Rumor Association at XL), long long ago, when I first started blogging, you all know how I used beg, plead, mail, message everyone that I know to visit my blog. (basically that’s kind of become my auxiliary hobby, the first being typing the blog, second is pleading everyone I know to visit my blog- C'mon how long can a person write in solitude, I am no Shakespeare to be recognized long after dead,). but somehow Trina, without being cajoled came to my blog and supposedly liked it ( what a change, for all the criticism I've received for my writing). She even said I have got a fluent language and it doesn’t seem like reading somebody's blog, it’s like talking to the person. ( guys, believe me I am not making this up, I got proof, somebody actually wrote good about me).

So what’s the moral of the story.

1) Guys and gals you better visit my blog, I can’t plead any more, I am already deprived of sleep & food at XL.

2) Any new fans of mine, please reveal yourself if you want a blog dedicated to you. (Not that it means anything, but tell me does anything in this world really mean anything, so in that sense my dedication should matter a lot to you).

3) Trina is engaged (at least going steady). so my purpose of starting this blog is still not accomplished.

Ok then thanks trina for coming here, and cya all others later..

Sathish

What I do, when I got nothing else to do.

One of the things you do pretty regularly at XL ( ie, when you are not doing the thousand other things which guys do here) is watch loads of movies and it is some kind of a sin here, if you dont watch a movie a day. - for them, it is something like "watching a movie a day keeps your acad nightmares away".

So to stop my nightmares and regain my sanity, I watched Anniyan the other day, but the prints were so aweful that I could have sworn it was Kovai Sarala who was the heroine of the movie. But anyway what the heck, we knew it was some kind of mix of Indian + Mudhalvan + Kung Fu Hustle + Gentlemen and we have watched all those movies, so it didnt really require the brains of XL guy ( ma boasting.. ) to figure out the story.

TBC ( To be continued)...

Ok.. to confess, I am really half asleep ( now that is a lie, I am fully asleep now and am sleep typing this), and its now 4:00 am midnight, and my brain cells are all in sleep mode. so I shall try to finish this blog later. ( didnt want to delete this post either).

The Equation called Life...

Having read a bit too much of Quantitative techniques, Managerial Economics, Basic Financial Accounting, Organisational Behaviour, Managerial Communication ( Sic.. Yes I got 8 papers for a term, ie's roughly 2 months of work days for 8 papers, viz is on an average finishing a full subject start to finish in just a week -- talk about hectic schedules, I am my class representative to add to that).

CONFUSED:
Anyway having read, all that I have read. I am utterly and throughly confused as to whats what and more broadly where one subject starts and where one ends. So I start getting weired thoughts such as - should a particular person get credit for the work which he researches from others work and writes ( or rather be debitted for his work) and then What kind of a behaviour is it, to just study for the exam and score marks (instead of understanding the subject) is it Cognitive, Analytical, practical or what. and thinking -as I am - I finally arrive at my master piece, The equation of life. (where I have apply concepts of Eco, a bit of QT, a bit of OB, and PM to get this).

It goes somethign like this and dont joke on this, I strongly believe this is true ( Think deep and you too would realise this)

EQUATION OF LIFE:

YOU (Depedent variable) = A + B.x1 + C.X2 + D.x3 + E.x4 + F.x5 + G.x6 + H.x7 + I.x8

Where Constant 'A' ( which is essentially your academics + Experience)
x1=Your Friends ( They again are a dependent variable ( upon thier own eqn of life)
x2= Your home ( your parents, your kids),
x3= your current job (or college as it might be)
x4= your material possesions ( Ipods, Mac's, food, Money, etc).
x5= your girl friend ( your wife as the case might be)
X6= yourself ( how motivated and self centred you are)
X7= God (how religious you are)
x8= (The unknown variable, called fate and lucK)

PS: A is a constant coefficient and B, C, D, E, F, G are coefficients of thier respective variables and take values from negative ( like a bad wife) to Infinity (a very deep love)

Explanations and Key points:

1) This equation exists for all people, but the coefficients are what that makes all the difference. Eg. for somebody who is very religious, the coefficient of H might be very high, and other coeff might be negligibly small.

2) Independence is a fad YOU are always dependent on something,(on any of the variables above), unless you decide that you nothing can affect you and your academic and experience is all that matters to you- typically like the " Jesuits fathers" )

3) your current Mood depends on this equation, and what weight each variable currently carry, ie If you are too depend on other variables then your life is totally depend on other people,

3.a To counter this effect of over depency, I have introduced a new variable called G ( feedback loop variable), where if you are self centred, and self motivated, you might negate the other variables effect to a large extent.

4) It is in your hands to increase the coefficient of some variables so that other variables effect might be reduced in relation, eg.. you might wish to concentrate on studies, and thereby reduce the importance you give to your friends and other entertainments. etc.

5) all these variables are interdepent ie, you can increase all things parallely - indefinitely, if you increase some indepent variable, then others reduce the coefficient of others

6) a successful person is one who is able to manage the equation very good and maintain a high output of it.

7) a miserable person is somebody who is being pulled down drastically by one or two of these variables, whose effects negates everythign else and pulls the person down.

8) Equation ends with the variable "I", where inspite of all this talk, you need to have tremendrous luck to pull your net worth up.

Ok... lemme stop here, before I get psychic of studying too much.. Hick hick hick... I am already choking... SMS S ( Save My Soul Stupid)
