I Am Super Hungry

It’s 5 in the morning. I haven’t slept yet. And then I realize that I am feeling super hungry. I need something to eat like right now!

Everything’s so quite. Everyone’s asleep. Not a sound to be heard. I did not want to wake anyone up. I find my way through the darkness to the kitchen. Switch on the lights. Look around in desperation but find nothing. Damn! I remember Pappu had cooked kheer a couple of days ago. Fingers crossed I open the refrigerator. Tons of boxes lying around and any of them could be the one containing delicious kheer for me. Patiently I open each box one by one, always replacing them in their correct place. All boxes checked but no kheer. Huh! The very thought of kheer makes me hungrier still. Cruel. God I need something to eat.

Papad is what comes to mind. Same sad story – cannot find papad to roast. There’s a bottle of Pepsi I don’t want to drink. There’s soda for squash. I remind myself that it’s hunger and not thirst that I need t get rid of.Look around once again just to find something to eat. Heck! There’s nothing in the kitchen. No ice-cream. No kheer. No fruits. I don’t want to eat the cold dinner food.

I give up. I walk back towards my bedroom. That’s when I remember that we have some snacks stacked up in the television cabinet. There it is. A packet of Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia! Get it to my room. There’s Eagles – New Kid In Town playing. A mouthful of Haldiram. Ah! Bliss. If only Birinder Tiwana was here, he could have made a half-fried egg for me.

Well fed and watered, I am feeling sleepy now. I need to wake up for the afternoon show. Going to the movie – Dirty Picture – along with roommates. Good night!

I Need A Break

Yeah, I definitely do. Mostly because of late all that I have done seems to be directly related to my work. I have hardly had any spare time for myself. Contrast this to FICO and I had a lot of free time earlier. I used to spend an hour almost everyday towards Project Euler problems. That is something I haven’t done in a while now. Also I have always wanted to try my hand at an Android App. I have a something that I would like to make for myself, but once again I need more time.

Yea, I definitely do need a break. This long weekend and the trip to Hyderabad could not have come at a better time. It’ll be refreshing to get away from Bangalore and have a couple of peaceful days.

Until then, I’ll just listen to the song by Scorpions – Holiday:

Let me take you far away, you’d like a holiday!

Longing for the Sun, you’re welcome, to the island without name.

My Wishlist

It’s been a long time since I updated my wish list last. I have got quite a few additions to my possessions and new items have been added to my list. First of all, let me start with what I have bought in the recent time.

My costliest purchase was the iTouch 4th generation! I simply am addicted to music. It gets me high and I needed this device to make me complete. Now I am never without my collection.

I’ve got a great electric razor in Philips Arcitec. Though it is no Braun Series 7, but it is good enough for me. I love the smooth feel after a shave :) . I also have bought myself a Royal Challengers Bangalore Reebok jersey and a Ferrari Puma polo. The RCB jersey I wore when I went to watch the RCB vs. MI match, and the Ferrari polo will come useful when I go to the Indian F1 GP later this year. Oh, and I am totally in love with the Ferrari polo. It’s a black tee-shirt, with a red stripe on the left hand front. The prancing pony is embroidered on the red stripe.

Tomorrow I will purchase Chelsea jersey, finally might I add! The new season jersey is a bore. I prefer the 2010-11 season jersey. The red collar with a tinge of white gives it a beautiful look.

New additions to my list include a mobile phone. At present I have a Sony Xperia X1. It’s an outdated handset and I want to get rid of it. Since I already have an iTouch, I am not too keen on an iPhone, however advanced and cool might it be. I am more inclined towards an Android smart phone. But Android is in the initial stages and I would rather want to wait before making a hasty decision and spending 40K. I want to wait till a phone gets my heart racing and makes it an impulsive decision to buy it.

Another gadget I would like to possess is a Kindle. A colleague of mine has one. I quite liked the look of it. At a first glance you couldn’t say if it was a digital surface or a plain paper with text on it. And for a person like me, who has once again discovered his love for reading, it’s a boon.

I have given up on the laptop. I still do miss Ubuntu dearly, but I have learnt to ignore it. I have taught myself to be content with the windows laptop my company has provided me.

I have now been working for two years and have saved enough money to buy a car, taking very little loan. Also I have gotten quite bored of my bike. But I am not in any hurry to get a car. That can wait. However, I can firmly state that I shall not be buying any other bike. My next vehicle will definitely be a car.

I can’t think of anything more right now. Shall update later!

Have I Stopped Believing?

This is something I want to discuss with my grandfather. But he is in Varanasi and I in Bangalore. Of late, my visits to Varanasi have become too few. And he is too old and has difficulty hearing through a mobile. So I will write down here what I want him to know about my conflicts.

I follow no religion and believe in no god. I do not know Pagan properly, but if it is what I think I understand then I would like to call myself a Pagan instead. This is something I need to ask my grandfather. So here I am, a person who does not believe in any divine power. I have had quite a lot of discussions with people who challenge my stance. But I do not budge. I do not want to believe in God and am not going to change my stance.

Not long ago, I was not like this. There was a gradual change in my attitude towards god. At a very young age I would read Ramayan and pray to god. That was a time I was influenced by the society and people around me and let me tell you, being brought up in India, it is not easy to escape the notion of existence of god. I remember visiting a Hanuman temple every Tuesday with my grandfather to listen to priests chant Hanuman Chalisa. I would visit temples of Durga and all with my grandmother.

Then came the adolescence stage when I would question everything in the name of science. I would tell people that even the Church had been questioned. I became agnostic. It was at this time that my grandfather insisted that I read the book Journey to the East by Hermann Hesse. The book made little sense to me and my attitude remained the same.

A few years later and I became an Atheist that I am now. I have my own set of rules and guidelines that I strictly follow. They govern my actions and are what make up my principles shaping up my personality. I am happy and at peace with myself.

Yet sometimes, there are these moments of doubt. They stem from a basic conflict in my guidelines. On one hand I have convinced myself that there is no god to look up to. And on the other hand I have decided to try and have an open mind towards all opinions. Being open minded doesn’t mean I accept them. It only implies that I am tolerant towards the opinions of other people. And it is the latter that has given birth to the doubt.

Let me go back to the book by Hermann Hesse that I have mentioned above. In the book, the author tells us a story of a queer trip he decided to take. It was a group of people wanting to travel east to discover some divine power. Every member had a personal reason for making this trip. Throughout the journey, the group would break up to fulfill their quests. They would always manage to regroup and continue the journey. On one such personal trips, our author and a small group of people had doubts regarding the journey. Simply put, they lost their faith but decided continue the journey none the less. However, much they tried but could not find the group. They assumed that the group had disbanded and deserted the quest. They went back to their home. A few years later, the author was in India and he accidentally came across a member of the group. He happened to be the president of the group. He told the author that the rest of the group, the ones who still had faith, continued the journey and found whatever they had joined the quest to find. It was just the author who had deserted the journey.

Now this story makes more sense to me. It forces me to question whether I have lost that path because I stopped believing. Am I an Atheist only because I wanted to be, instead of it being a logical decision? And this doubt was reinforced by a book by Paulo Coelho – The Witch of Portobello. I now wonder whether I should be more open in my beliefs and be an agnostic once again?

My Attempts At Speed Cubing

This is an old video of mine when I was in my final year of engineering. My brother had just taught me the basic algorithm to solve the Rubik’s cube. The time recorded was some 59 seconds on a Funskool cube. I have a better cube now, I do not have the time to learn better methods and get faster. Sad!

My brother though has made a lot of progress. He clocks within 30 seconds and can also solve blind-folded.

FICO: R&D Team Skit At All Hands Meet

The Research and Development team also had a skit for the first All Hands Meet. Here is the script.

Director and writer: Yogish

Assistant Director and screenplay: Anshumali [He prefers Deputy title though :D ]

A little background first:

A couple of days before the meet, Navin lets us know that he, Prasun and Palla will be on leave!!! As a result Yogish had to alter the script slightly, and we also had to draft in Abhinav Kishore, who has come to FICO from Infosys Chandigarh on a contract.

Act 1

<Kishore sitting in a cubicle filled with a decision tree. Trying to read it with a magnifying glass>

<Anuvrat enters>

Kishore to Anuvrat: I have to give a presentation outlining our strategy to the clients in one week, but I can’t make head or tail of this    <Points to strategy>.

Anuvrat: But don’t you know about this wonderful product called Strategy Designer.

Kishore: No what is it?

Anuvrat: Wait let me call my roommate working in the Research team of FICO who designed it. He will explain it to you.

<Whips out a phone and makes a call>

Act 2:

<Mali and Yogish are sitting in the cafe>

Mali to Yogish: Arre, did you hear that the Large Hadron Collider is finally up and running.

Yogish: Yeah, I can’t wait to find out if the Higgs boson is real or not.

Mali : I hope it creates a black hole which swallows all of earth.

Yogish: ha ha, In that case I’d better take my power nap.

Mali: What ?! Are you going to sleep in the office?

Yogish: Well actually people may think I am sleeping but I am actually thinking.

Mali: Oh, ok …So you are one of those Kekule type of guys who thought of the structure of benzene in his dream.

Yogish: How do you think we have so many patents filed from our team after all? You should start sleeping at work as well….

<Mali gets call from Anuvrat and picks up the phone>

Mali: Hello.

Anuvrat: Hi, where are you ?

Mali: In the cafe, drinking coffee.

Anuvrat: And discussing quantum physics, no doubt ?

Mali: Hey, how did you know ?

Anuvrat: <Rolls eyes> Nerds!!

Anuvrat: Anyway, I want you to talk to my friend here in Citigroup and explain what you did to turn decision trees to graphs.

Mali: Ok

<Kishore takes the phone from Anuvrat>

Kishore: Hi

Mali: Hi

Kishore: Hey, I have this massive decision tree with 40000 nodes. I was told that you guys have a product which can help me figure this out.

Mali: Oh yes. What we do is simply find an EDAG that is functionally isomorphic with the decision tree.

Kishore: What ?

Mali: <Makes a face> EDAG…. Exception based directed acyclic graph

Kishore: What is that ? It sounds intimidating

Mali: Oh no. We have made it so simple that even the guys at AIG could understand it …. HaHa..

Kishore: I used to work at AIG.

Mali: Oh!  <Coughs> …… <Coughs again> …..  I think I have an idea. Why don’t you get your bank to buy Triad 2.0 ? It is Strategy Designer with more intuitive icons for the user.

[[ -- This part was edited out due to Navin's unavailability -- ]]

<Navin comes into the cafe>

Navin: Hey, Shafi just came and told us to prepare a skit for the all hands meeting on the 6th.

Mali : <Looks relieved>  Hey Kishore, I’ll call you back in a while. Have some work. Bye!!

Yogish: Skit! Do they think we have nothing better to do ?

<Navin also sits down to have coffee>

Navin: <Shrugs>  Yeah, those guys are always either in the cafe or taking a nap at their seat….. They obviously have all the time in the world.

Yogish and Mali in unison: Hmmm…..

My First Bike Accident – Claustrophobia

This occurred a long long time ago. It was before Dussera of 2009. Yet I still remember that moment quite vividly. We were riding from Bangalore to Ooty, almost 300kms long stretch. Having started in morning at around 9, it had become evening when we entered the Madhumalai forest. Immediately after the forest we would get to the steep hairpin bends and reach Ooty.

The accident occurred in the Madhumalai forest. To go to Ooty you need to take a left at a point inside the Bandipur National Park. Immediately after taking the left turn, the road narrowed. I was driving and my brother was the pillion rider. He immediately pointed out that perhaps I was going fast for such a narrow road which had low visibility at corners and turns. I ignored his opinion – something I rue till this day.

It was at a blind turn. The road turned sharply right and I had no way of knowing what was coming towards me from the other side. I turned right to see a Sumo come right towards me. I panicked and tried to steer my bike away from the Sumo’s path. But being a narrow I ran out of road width and skid at the edge where the ground was at a lower level to the road. Instantly the bike tilted to my right and I could not control it. Both of us skid along with the bike.

My first reaction was to check if my brother was harmed. Bike mattered the least to me then.  And how glad was I to know that he was unharmed. Luckily, both of us had escaped with minor bruises. Had it been any major accident, help would have been tough to get.

The more I think of that day, the more I become sure of the reason I think caused the accident. Ridiculous or stupid it might sound, but the reason is that I am claustrophobic. I panicked because I ran out of space, and it scared me. This was the only reason why I lost control of my bike while driving at a modest speed of 40 kmph. All my analysis and logic interpretation of the situation points to that only one possible answer.

My being claustrophobic was pointed out by Rohit Mahapatra. I have tested this theory for correctness.   And I am sad to accept that I am actually claustrophobic. I am always reluctant of squeezing my way through two SUV’s or larger vehicles. I feel uncomfortable when I enter the lift of small apartments, the ones having very little space inside the lift. I sleep with my head towards the corridor when traveling in a train.

But now that I have accepted that I am claustrophobic, I try to be more careful while driving. However, I would like to solve this problem from root. I would like to get rid of my claustrophobia. I know it’s just psychological. And if it is something wrong with my brain, I would like to train to think it otherwise. So here’s a realistic mission for myself – get rid of my claustrophobia.

My Will – II (Continued)

To what I have already desired in my previous Will, the one where I wrote about wanting to have A Tout Le Monde played for my funeral, I would like to make another addition.

I have always considered myself to be a student of science. I am an atheist, not influenced by any religion, and do not want my body to be either cremated, or buried. I would rather desire my body to be donated to some medical research institute. That way, even after my death, my body shall be made better use of than being reduced to ashes.

PS: Both the posts that I have written as My Will, I have done so with utmost seriousness. Mentioning such desires under a formal name of Will makes me happy. I feel glad to have formed these thoughts into sequences of words. I shall keep adding stuffs to my Will. I just hope that if I don’t get a chance to formally document my Will, people take these pieces of electronic articles seriously enough.

My Will

Its a funny term – My Will. Not taking it too seriously though, I would still like to add my first wish to the after-death wishlist. Don’t get me wrong, I am not suicidal or depressed.

For some time now I have been charmed by this song – A Tout Le Monde by Megadeth. Dave Mustaine was inspired by a dream of his, in which his mother says that if she had 3 more seconds to live she would have told him how much she loved him. In the song Dave would like to say the same before he passes away. He tells his friends to smile when they think of him.

So as you read this know my friends
I’d love to stay with you all
Please smile, smile when you think about me
My body’s gone that’s all

So coming back to my will, I would love it if this song were to be played in my funeral. And of course, on a repeat :D .

The original video of this song can be found here: Megadeth – A Tout Le Monde (Previously Unreleased).

The complete lyrics are:

Don’t remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it’d cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
I’d love to stay with you all
smile when you think of me
My body’s gone that’s all

A tout le monde (To all the world!)
A tout mes amis (To all my friends)
Je vous aime (I love you)
Je dois partir (I must leave)
These are the last words
I’ll ever speak
And they’ll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There’s nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living all are scarred

A tout le monde (To all the world!)
A tout mes amis (To all my friends)
Je vous aime (I love you)
Je dois partir (I must leave)
These are the last words
I’ll ever speak
And they’ll set me free

So as you read this know my friends
I’d love to stay with you all
Please smile, smile when you think about me
My body’s gone that’s all

A tout le monde (To all the world!)
A tout mes amis (To all my friends)
Je vous aime (I love you)
Je dois partir (I must leave)
These are the last words
I’ll ever speak
And they’ll set me free
