Necker Cubicle

I am here in Calicut for about a week now and the following lets you know how it had been.

1. Figured out most of the hang-out places in Calicut as well as the Campus.

2. A girl asked me on the third day of class, “Are you here for some kind of joke?” (NO NO, I did nothing naughty :~ )

3. There were a lot of instances when i realized the shallowness of my knowledge in computer science and mathematics.

4. Attended the talk of Dr. Manoj Franklin of Maryland University and am really excited about it. (More of his talks to be attended in the coming 3 weeks).

5. I am talking 3 languages right now and am handling all the three very badly! (Malayalam of this part of the world sounds like Greek!)

6. Two of my B-Tech teachers are my classmates now! (They might have cursing the moments they gave me pass mark just to get rid of me but now to have me more closer…)

Apart from those, the campus is cool, classes are good (some of them are really good) and stay (i mean hostel) is not that great.

YES! I quit my job and am back to college once over again. One more week and I will be a student again. I decided to do M-Tech in Computer Science from NIT Calicut.

I seriously doubt I lost the ability to study and to write examinations. That is the only fear I have right now.

Well, nothing more to write now.. Will update you all later with hot/cool news.

Anyways, All the best for me..

I have seen a lot of bad movies. Back in my B-Tech days I used to see every movie that was released in Thrissur but lately I am watching only the bad movies!(not knowingly) And the latest among those is ‘Love Story 2050′.

Harman Baweja, the hero of the movie, who looks similar to Hrithik Roshan tries desperately to mimic Hrithik Roshan by similar dance moves, facial expressions and even the accent. And the acting skills of this chap is pathetic, but that can be improved by time as he’ll be getting more offers being a director’s son.

The first half of the movie presents the silliest of love story (the usual bollywood one, or is it a worse?) and the interesting thing is that the second part is also the same except that it happens in 2050. Priyanka Chopra (heroine) dies in the first half of the movie and immediately after that the hero’s scientist uncle (Boman Irani) who was working on his time machine for last 15 years turns out successful. And the hero sets off to the future (2050) in search of his REINCARNATED LOVE!!! and successfully brings her back to the present. , Why cant they just go a couple of days back and avoid the accident??

Well, Boman Irani was impressive (maybe I felt so because I am his fan). His einstein looks and crazy scientist’s behavior was cool.

Another twist in the story is the villain in the movie, who is the greatest scientist in 2050 who wants to get the time machine. The villain has the same habit of making sounds with his ring worn fingers as our old ‘Muqambo khush huwa’ villain except that he does that in his shaved head. And to make the villain the futuristic villain the director has attached two rows of 8 legged IC chips in his head!

The death of the villain is not so convincing which indicates the possibility of a second part.. Not again, Baweja…..
