RoloKnow, Thank you!

People appreciating your work is the most awesome feeling. Judges, seniors and juniors. Thank you for the overwhelming response at INC '15. The "most popular project" award is a testament to the 8 months of hard work. The three days days were exhausting. But the satisfaction in the end. Worth it.

I could not have asked for a better team and a better guide. Suhel Sir, your advices have always been spot on. Discussions with you have always been interesting. You gave us the freedom any group would want. Glad we got rid of the frustrated developer before INC. Aman, you are the problem solver. I know I can rely on you to take care of any bug. Sidhesh, I'd pay to watch you present again. The responsibilities you took since BITs. We would not have reached here. Abhale, your touch screen laptop got a few judges excited. You are the man of ideas. And Siddhant Patil, great work with the flex and logo. RoloKnow got the face it deserves. 

When things didn't work out, there was one guy outside my project group, I could always talk to. Jeevjyot. You knew the progress of my project at every stage. (Rumour has it, he's still covering something)

Still remember those night outs at Sidhesh's place, and how we targeted Aman, every time things got a little boring. Discussions at Rolocule, in the conference room, on the couch and the stairs outside. More importantly, milk discussions. There I did it again. BTW, We won't be paying for the chairs in Durga Cafe right? Long skype calls, annoying background noise and sad internet connectivity (aman and abhale). I'm going to miss all this.  

Like I had said, in one of my previous posts, Rolocule was always THE place, where I wanted to do my BE project. 

If there's one thing I have learnt over the last few months is- Don't give up. Things happen for a reason.

"Inauspicious" to be a widow?

One of these days, I'm going to write a book full of random rules on how to live. I'll be a bit cryptic, to make it seem meaningful and serious. All rules will be in the form of complex poetry. Because, why not? And I'm going to bury the book a long way under the ground. A hundred years from now, some one will find this book. They'll decipher the rules. They'll sing the songs. They'll make some more around it. They'll create another religion. More chaos. Sounds fun right? Or sadist? Last week, I came across this tweet-   "According to the Skanda Purana , widows are more inauspicious than all other inauspicious things " My ignorance led me to assume that "Skanda Purana" is a person, a politician, I guessed. It's actually some religious text. Either way, I'm not surprised with a statement as outrageous as this. I don't have the whole context of it and I'm least interested in knowing more about it. What I know for sure is

A Word Called Basic.

        I believe this should be the most hated word of the century. And that’s because it never lives up to its dictionary meaning. Its dictionary meaning - “1. Forming an essential foundation, 2. Consisting of the minimum required”. It's always associated with something complicated. Almost all students and teachers in this world use the word ‘basically’ probably every time they start talking about something. For instance, when a teacher asks a student to explain a certain thing, the student will always start like this- “Basically its blah blah.. aa.. blah.. aa.. blah. So basically its blah and aaa.. ummm.. blah”. Its time, we should think about some new way to start with, while saying something. But why do I hate this word so much? Is it because I’ve heard it a million times or is it because it’s a part of a subject’s name called ‘ Basic Electronics Engineering ’. Oh, and ‘Basic Mechanical Engineering’ too.         Basic Electronics Engineering: lectures to exams..

India for a Girl

    Time:- 12 a.m.     Venue:- An empty street, India.     Scene:- A young girl and a less-than-innocent looking stranger(a man), walking down the road. In what  way is the girl expected to act in such a situation? She has no idea who the person is, whether he’s drunk, depressed, pissed with the world or just some random guy with no bad intension. Something really unfortunate and disturbing happened in Guwahati last week, which was nothing less than a catastrophe. This made me think, “What is India for a girl?” or “What a girl should expect from a stranger constantly staring at her?” These questions do have answers. And these answers will put India in the dark shadow of hypocrisy yet again. A certain part of an Indian will still say, “It was the girl’s mistake.. She shouldn’t have been there at that time”, while overlooking the 30 odd people who molested her. Why is that, people first talk about ‘the way she was dressed’ or ‘where she was’ or ‘what was the time’? Shouldn'
