The Utterances of a Peculiar Mindset

Yesterday, my first oral was BE second semester finished. The oral was based on three subjects namely Information Retrieval, Distributed Systems and System Operation and Maintenance.. The external was from IR field but he asked me mostly on DS. I guess he was satisfied with my answers.
Now, my next oral based on Real Time Systems will be on 8th May. Hope I do well..

Finally I got the Shehnai tune of Swades. Was looking for this instrumental for long time. Downloaded many downloading sites but couldn't get.. Finally I got it with the help of limeshare pro. And I've heard it minimum of 15 times today only. There is really a magic in that tune..

Btw, try out this site. It provides lot of mp3 files for downloading. I've downloaded lotz of Marathi mp3's from this site..

Check out the image..
What you see? A soldier pointing his gun..
Now press ctrl + A and you will spot a girl instead of the soldie..
(PS: This effect won't be visible in Firefox. Atleast it doesn't work on my comp..)

Finally my submissions are over. Now I've my orals on 30th April and 7th May. Already started preparing for the orals. I've to prepare 3 subjects in next 10 days. Hope it works out well. Friends, I will need your best wishes. Be with me..

A Patel family in Gujarat was puzzled when the coffin of their dead mother arrived from the US. It was sent by one of the daughters. The dead body was very tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no space left in it When they opened the lid , they found a letter on top addressed to her brothers and sisters:

Dear Chandrakantbhai, Arvindbhai, Smitaben and Varsha,

I am sending Ba's body to you,since it was her wish that she should be cremated in the compound of our ancestral home in GUJARAT. Sorry, I could not come along as all of my paid leave is consumed.

You will find inside the coffin, under Ba's body, 12 cans of cheese, 10 packets of Tobler chocolates and 8 packets of Badam. Please divide these among all of you. On Ba's feet you will find a new pair of Reebok shoes(size 10) for Mohan. There are also 2 pairs of shoes for Radha's and Lakshmi's sons. Hope the sizes are correct.

Ba is wearing 6 American T-Shirts. The large size is for Mohan. Just distribute the rest among yourselves. The 2 new Jeans that Ba's is wearing are for the boys. The Swiss watch that Reema wanted is on Ba's left wrist. Shanta masi, Ba is wearing the necklace, earrings and ring that you asked for. Please take them off her.

The 6 white cotton socks that Ba is wearing must be divided among my nephews. Please distribute all these fairly.

Love Smita

PS : and if anything more required let me know soon as Bapuji is also not feeling too well nowadays...

शिवकालीन मुत्सद्दी रामचंद नीळकंठ अमात्य यांनी साडेतीनशे वर्षांपूवीर् दिलेला ' परम सावधपणे असतील त्या गडकिल्ल्यांची यथोक्त मजबुदी करावी ' या सल्ल्याची जपणूक करण्यासाठी सरकारला उशिरा का होईना जाग आली आहे. किल्ले आणि स्मारकांच्या देखभाल-दुरुस्तीसाठी कॉपोर्रट क्षेत्राची कुमक मागवण्याचा निर्णय सरकारने घेतलाय. मात्र , या निमित्ताने कॉपोर्ेरेट क्षेत्राच्या जाहिरातबाजीचे आक्रमण गड-किल्ल्यांवर होऊ नये , असा इशारा इतिहासाच्या अभ्यासकांनी दिला आहे.

राज्यातले ऐतिहासिक किल्ले तसेच स्मारकांच्या देखभालीसाठी कॉपोर्रेट कोऑपरेशन घेण्याचा मानस सांस्कृतिक खात्याचे मंत्री अशोक चव्हाण यांनी नुकताच विधिमंडळात बोलून दाखवला. इतिहासाचे अभ्यासक निनाद बेडेकर यांनी या कल्पनेचे स्वागत केलं. ते म्हणाले , ' कशी का होईना , किल्ल्यांची अवस्था सुधारत असेल तर चांगलंच आहे. आज हालचाली केल्या नाहीत , तर 60-70 वर्षांनी या किल्ल्यांच्या जागी फक्त डोंगरच राहतील. मात्र कॉपोर्रेट मदत घेताना किल्ल्यांवर डोळ्यांना खुपणारी जाहिरातबाजी होऊ देता कामा नये.

गिर्यारोहक हृषिकेश यादव यांनी देखील ही घोषणा स्वागतार्ह असल्याचा अभिप्राय दिला. किल्ले राखण्यासाठी अशी काही पावले उचलायलाच हवीत. मात्र , त्याचवेळी गडांचे पावित्र्य सांभाळले गेले पाहिजे. गडाच्या मूळ वास्तूची हानी होता कामा नये , असं यादव म्हणाले.

आज पुरातत्त्व विभागाकडे पुरेसा पैसा नाही. मग किल्ल्यांची वास्तपुस्त होणार कशी ? आता कॉपोर्रेट क्षेत्राच्या साह्याने ती होत असेल , तर काही हरकत नाही , असं गडभ्रमंतीचा मोठा अनुभव असलेले ' चक्रम हायकर्स ' चे माधव फडके म्हणाले. कॉपोर्रेट क्षेत्राचा मदतीचा हात प्रसिद्ध किल्ल्यांच्या मदतीसाठी पुढे येऊ शकतो पण त्याचबरोबर दुर्गम किल्ल्यांनाही त्याचा फायदा होईल , असे नियम करावेत , असं फडके यांनी सुचवलं.

गड-किल्ल्यांच्या वाटा धुंडाळणाऱ्या ' क्षितिज ग्रुप ' चे श्रीरंग वैद्य यांनी देखील किल्ल्यांचे पावित्र्य राखले जाणार असेल तर कॉपोर्रेट क्षेत्राची मदत घेण्यात काहीच हरकत नाही , असं मत नोंदवलं. रायगड जिल्ह्यात पालीजवळ सुधागड किल्ल्यासाठी सीमेन्स कंपनीनं असं काम केलं आहे , अशी माहिती त्यांनी दिली.

The lovebug has struck. The cupid's arrows are working. My friends are getting settled one by one.
And I'm just tooooooo happy for them all. Congrats my dear friends. My best wishes are always gonna be with you..

Here, I am putting up my thoughts about this organisation through a poem. Those who were part of TROOP will understand depth of the poem..

जस्सं च्या तस्सं राहील का सारं?
हाक नुसती ऐकून थांबेल का वारं?

TROOPमधील हे दिवस येतील का परत?
मिळतील का मला ही तीन वर्षे परत?

परेड च्या वेळी चढलेला जोश
होळीला केलेला जल्लोश
NCC show साठी रात्रभर जागणं
आणि हार्दीकच्या रूमवर जाऊन movie पाहणं

Trek साठी location शोधत राहणं
आणि location सापडल्यावर जल्लोशात नाचणं
Rotational साठी Donors शोधणं
आणि Emergency ला धाऊन जाणं

Main drive ला झालेली धावपळ
आणि wafers खाण्याची चंगळ
hall समोरची सुंदरसी रांगोळी
Blood donation ला येणारया WEC च्या पोरी

Trad day ला केलेली मजा
आणि अंकितचा द्रौपदी अवतार
हातात तलवार घेऊन
परिसचे म्हणणे खबरदार

अजयसोबत भांडण, अलोकसोबत संभाषण
आणि ते सर्व Group Discussions
Blood Donation चे पोस्टर्स
शंतनूचे attendance मस्टर

ट्रेकसाठी केलेली shopping
ट्रेकपूर्वी केलेली Packing
गड चडताना मिळालेली साथ
व अडखाळल्यावर समोर आलेले हात

canteen मध्ये जाऊन चहा टाकणं
CIPLA टाळण्यासाठी कारणं सांगणं
प्रत्येक B'day ला पार्टी घेणं
आणि सगळ्यांच placement celebrate करणं

छोट्याशा गोष्टीवर सारंगला रागावणं
आणि परत तोच येऊन sorry म्हणणं
मित्रांसोबत खूप खूप भांडणं
आणि परत त्यांच्याच खांद्यावर रडणं

मिळ्तील का मला हे मीत्र परत?
सापडेल का आयुष्याचं सूत्र परत?

खूप दिलं या troop ने मला
खरे मीत्र इथेच गवसले मला

आज मी जात आहे
troop पासून दूर
पण मी नेहमीच असेन
एका हाकेच्या अंतरावर

On April 2nd, we got send off from MIT NCC TROOP. That day, our beloved juniors dedicated us this poem.

माझ्या भावना

प्रिय सीनियर्स,

बघता बघता वर्ष संपलं
कालचा नवा मी आज जुना झालो

तेव्हा फारसं काही कळत नव्हतं
सर, तुम्ही सांगुनही बरंचसं काही जमत नव्हतं
तरी तुमच्या मनात माझ्यासाठी कायम प्रेमच होतं

तुमची ती कणखर वाणी
त्याहून करडी नजर
वाटत नव्हती मला भीती
पण होता केवळ तो फक्त एक आदर

उद्या कदाचीत विस्तारेल तुमच्या माझ्यातलं अंतर
पण तरीही मनात कायम दरवळतील
तुमच्या स्म्रुती निरंतर...

--आपल्या जूनियर्स कडून
