GV and Eval

Grand Viva was over a week before and yesterday it was the turn of project evaluation. Frankly speaking never had so much fun before in giving vivas. The profs knew we dont know anything, we ourselves knew our preparation and our standards of answering any question. But still then there is a fear of getting a 'RE' if you had any kind of arguments with any profs before. If you behaved nicely for the last four years, GVs are not going to screw you. Thats the whole funda of the vivas that i gave. Instead of asking loads of departmental fundamentals (which they are tired of coz of not getting any correct answers from me), i was asked to debate on "India's security is threatened by the openess of its boundaries to neighbouring countries" for about 5 mins. "What did u like the most in the last four years apart from this dept" and all sort of crappy questions.

Then came the Project evaluation. It wasnt fun but everybody was nervous coz this was the last thing that will fetch all of us a Bachelor of Technology Degree. So, everybody was trying to avoid an extension in this 4 credit subject. Thanx to the profs that they evaluated us very liberally and now i can proudly say
"Asheesh Maharana B.Tech"

Counting the last few days of stay in kgp. All the emotions attached with this place is pouring out like anything.

KAAL sucked

Just watched the worst print of KAAL, which had created a lot of hype in the near past. Gotto say that indian producers shouldnt think of movies which they visualized as a close version of hollywood thriller. It becomes funny, terrible and everything except interesting. Karan Johar had quite a name of making good family dramas but what he has done with kaal will surely ruin his career. I guess Ram Gopal Verma would have been the good choice for this kinda movie which makes u wait for 1.5 hrs to understand what is going on and when u do so, it ends. Attachments of emotional drama with the most important character getting killed in the end (which happens to be a direct copy from Ring where the husband got murdered) makes all of it a hoch-poch. Guess it might look good in the cinema theatres. If not, the Karan Johar now sucks as all other directors.

Moral: never watch a movie on computer or from a pirated CD. They ruin half of the fun of movie viewing.

Great Loss

My Hard drive crashed!!!!...Nooooooooo....the worst part is, it was the most important drive in the sense that it was of 40 gb. Adding to it, all my project related stuffs got erased. The data, the 3-d diagrams which took me around 3 months to complete and render, the thesis and previous seminars, rare videos which one cannot find in the lan over here, raw videos of making of TDS...bla bla. So damn of me that i was lazy enough to write those important stuffs well ahead. I think i might not now able to make it to pass this semester and pursue my job. Project seminar is in a week and i have got nothing....literally nothing to write and take reference from. It would be very satisfying if some disaster happens and the seminar got shifted for an indefinite period. Amen!!!

Moral learnt: Computers are not reliable....CDs are...so write as much as u can and free the comp
