Was trying to compile a program today when i was reminded of this funny incident while in Shanmugha...
Disclaimer: All shanmugha faculty are not as knowledgeable as the below-mentioned..

We were doing our c++ lab in 3rd sem..1 guy got 14 errors in his code and so called the lecturer to help debug..
Lecturer vandhaar,paathaar, pethinaar ! He deleted all lines which contained errors in the code and re-compiled it..It showed 3 errors this time..U must've seen the victorious smile on the lecturer's face ! Adengappa..! Indha oru pethalukku ipdi oru punnagai..
His leaving comments to the student - It's now upto u to reduce the remaining 3 errors..!

Adhe lecturer , another time... For 1 guy, the program showed no errors but dint execute properly..Prompt came the reply from the pethal lecturer - "printer cable seriyaa connect aayirukka pa".... What a kidney, oops..brain..

College was a laugh-riot...thanx 2 ppl like the above who made it possible !

I jus stumbled on this article which infact was from our univ itself
Warren Buffet is incredible..Must b 1 of the biggest extroverted businessmen( oops..read tycoon) around..
My interest in doing an MBA is only growing..I had planned that i would do it part-time after i get a job here(which BTW is not 2 easy )
But i somehow feel that the intensity that is there in a full-time MBA program is unparalleled..
I saw this rating sometime, not sure if its accurate enuf..Owens school,my friend in Vandy, tells me is pretty good..Lets c how things go..

Today, missed my Imaging class..dint feel bad though.! The class is anyway getting uninteresting..Atleast had some interesting dreams as i slept within the sweet confines of my home sweet home!
The rest of the day, when i dint sleep, ARR with his Faanah..caused enough trouble in that i had to listen to the song atleast once every half hour compulsorily.! Things r getting out of hand !!

Had a job-fair today at our univ..There were seriously more tech companies who came to Shanmugha(my UG) than those who came today here..Most of the companies - Marketing,Logistics, Supply-Chain,Sales..The only tech company relevant to me was National Instruments and they said they do not take Masters for internships..But they said they r looking to hire Masters students for full-time positions at Austin..That was encouraging..Maybe, the first company i'll apply to when i start my job-search would be NI.
Atleast collected lotsa freebies at the fair..Tht way, it was not a bad outing..!
All the same, looks like the economy is slowly picking-up after all..Jobs r slowly coming up..some1 i know in my univ jus got a job coupla days back in NC..Lets c..

Today's match was nice..jus saw the last 1 hour or so....Sachin's catch of inzy i thot was a gr8 effort which kinda turned the match to an xtent....

Maddy in Ayudha Ezhuthu looks like Ajit in 'Red'..Ajit bombed after that movie..Hope the same doesnt happen with Maddy..He's a neat actor..His performance in AnbeSivam i thot was outstanding..AnbeSivam in itself is a big topic for me to blog abt..The best movie i've seen to date..Will do that soon..
Here in my univ., there r some desi ppl who contact u for being part of some marketing (something like multi-level marktg)..I guess this is there in all univ's here in US...I hv not gone to even 1 meeting for time-constraints...But the funny part is that all of my friends uniformly rubblish this kinda concept saying its crap and that u only lose money in the bargain..they say this only 'coz the seniors hv told them so..i dint like that..it pays to have ur own opinion on stuff rather than being influenced by ppl..i think its time v investigate things better b4 voicing our opinion on things....

Saw today's indo-pak match....was almost fuming when dravid dint get the man'o'match ..What the heck's going on?..He, honestly, deserves an award better than that infact..Time n again, of late, hez pulled us out of trouble and infact, won matches....For me, dravid's india's # 1 batsman whatever ppl may say of sachin's genius,laxman's flamboyance etc..
Sachin again fell early in a match we won..I hope those ppl who always say he wins matches and that india collapse after sachin falls will eat humble pie sooner or later..Not that i have any grudge against him..i like his play infact, but a great batsman is 1 who delivers under the most daunting of circumstances..Lara and Steve Waugh, in my opinion are 2 of the best contemporary batsman 'coz they fire in times of need and fire really well..Of corz, tugga has bid farewell..Lara also would follow in mayb and year or two..Sachin still has some time left..Hope he turns in something magical soon..
Another thing today was Inzy's batting...Majestic would b an under-statement...Boy, he smacked 1 six off balaji with such effortless ease, i was left wondering y he's not a much-talked abt batsman..Once he gets settled, he deals only in boundaries..Singles r for lesser men..looks like..when hez batting..
The last thing was that balaji's trade-mark gopal toothpodi smile was missing today for watever reason i dunno..mebbe dada gave him an appraisal !
