Fireball

Thats the name of habit I’m having and something I can’t stop.

Wikipedia says,

“There are some physical remedies for nail biting, such as coating the nails with a bad-tasting substance (sometimes in the form of a special nail polish). Other ways of stopping nail biting include making the biter aware of their actions and finding other things to do. Keeping a record of when one bites may also be helpful in finding the root of the problem.”

I’m still trying to stop it, but I lost my control during the tough papers of II Cycle tests.

Without nails,

• no ability to keep the correct time
• time mismanagement / late
• piss off friends
• no more friends
• depression
• not eat / eat too much
• unhealthy
• die!

That is what a malay blogger says! Gosh, I should really stop biting nails!

Just finished Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Its still hard to believe that Dumbledore’s dead.{Sob.. }

We had huge debate whether Snape was really Dumbledore’s man or not. On the whole, the book gave me rather Impressive introduction of Voldemort rather than showing him as evil.

Just finished my internals. Got really screwed up. I expect around 3-4 out of 15. My department has bluntly refused to conduct another cycle test which leaves me helpless. Mathematics was Ok.

May be I’ll ask my HOD again for conducting 1st cycle test for me.

Days are getting miserable.

My last blog dates 2^nd August. Its around 2 weeks I blogged. Lots of things happened in
last 2 weeks. We went to an Industrial Visit to Coimbatore,PSG Industrial Institute. After the IV, we went to Azhiyar Dam and Monkey Falls in Pollachi. We enjoyed a lot in the waterfalls.We returned the next day morning.

Last weekend, I went to Cochin. Three days, I enjoyed the pleasure of laziness.Me,my sister and amma saw a lots of movies(though I’m seeing most of them again).

• Kannathil Muthamittal
• Morning Raga
• Arinthum Ariyamalum
• Anbe Sivam
• Avai Shanmugi

Among the list, Music of Morning Raga by Mani Sharma was most impressive.I’m sea
rching for the mp3’s of them, hardly any of them are available on net. Just finished consuming Digital Fortress{Another Dan Brown}.

Abhay showed me Bit-Torrent today. It was very impressive. We have planned to download some good movies and watch it the weekend after Cycle tests.

Parijat wrote his first test yesterday. But, my Dept. is still extending its decision whether to conduct a cycle test for single student {and that’s me}.Our Class Co-ord has informed that it will be discussed in the Class Committee meeting{and that’s tomm}.So, my cycle tests are really not back.

First years have arrived this week. College is full of new faces. Shopping centre busy with Drafter purchases, etc..

New faces,new experiences. I could recall the usual ways where you begin the talk with new-faces.

New face 1:Hey,you are from Anna Nagar right??
New face 2:Yes. Which room are you in??

New face 1:I got Compscee in Anna University, but I took my seat here just out of interest.
New face 2:Even I got a seat in BITS Pilani. But I felt NIT Trichy better{Really??}

New face 1:Are there any girls in your class {Ahem..}?
New face 2: Lots.. I can’t just concentrate the class.

New face 1: Is she from your school??
New face 2: She was my class mate da!
New face 1: {Face red!}

These were usual when we were in Firsty. Dunno what, the current first years may be talking more useful rather than these funny stuffs.

A spotlight of happenings @ NITT:

• Post Graduate Admissions started, new people are found asking the way to their departments.
• Anna University Counselling is going on in the campus.Vignesh’s brother got his seat in Anna {Compscee}
• NIT Trichy get its Swimming Pool re-opened, which remains almost full during the evening hours.
• {Nerdy} Second years have started two new clubs (or organisations)
  • RMI(Robotics & Machine Intelligence) - II yr Compsceez motivated by artificial intelligence
  • CodeLabs(Weekly Online Programming Contest) - The same batch organising weekly contests in NITT Intranet.

While people are too busy & creative, I’m still waiting for my cycle tests.
