Its Hi-time...

        This is my last Sunday being free, from next week, i will be either in Speed class or writing an exam for the next 7 or 8 months. Its about time I start my preparations seriously and get settled in the so called study groove and claim a good seat of my choice. If i score a high rank, then its my decision. If i dont, then surely, its not in my hands. It will be their decision. Thats one thing i don't want to give up to them and decide my fate. I want  to decide myself whatever good or bad it is, and not regret for it later.
 
         My laptop is doing all sorts of problems, getting hanged constantly, that too when i watch some youtube videos.. And suddenly, i get some strange sound from the fan. It can be compared to only one thing. High noise producing water motor pump.

         I wanted to change my laptop before it dies out, and if that happens, there wont be any selling price for it. Also, its been 3 years since i am using an age old historical Intel Celeron processor with Windows Vista Ultimate, and the laptop that has seen Europe and USA seriously deserves some rest from me. But still, it works like a champion except for those strange noise, and the heat that it produces like a furnace (seriously if u keep it in your lap, then i can't guarantee anything for your future, actually, i have to worry about it ). Hard disk problem, Fan cooling unit problem, if i go for repairing it, i will spend 5000 rupees at the minimum, but i want to sell it for some good price and get that Sony Vaio that captured me.. But unfortunately, when i think about it, I know i haven't done anything useful for my family, and therefore i don't want to put unnecessary burden to my family on this also. ( yeah, already i am )
   
          Thing that can be obtained in life for free of cost.. Tons and tons of advice. Its always irritating to listen to them especially when it comes from people who don't know about it. And thats what i am facing right now. They speak like they know everything ( ofcourse, all youngsters speak like that, and i am no exception, and don't ask when i became an youngster) and irritate you to the core. That has actually made me to take a challenge of not going to my native place till I have got a PG seat to my name. Also a challenge of not speaking to many friends till i have the same. Not everyone, but many.

          You need extreme amount of patience if you want to drive in Nungambakkam station subway and also, chetpet bridge.. Drive after 6 pm till 8 pm, and you will know what i am talking about. Heavy traffic, pollution, summer time, first gear and lots of petrol consumption, it will push you to the core of patience. Same applies to V.N  Road after 5 pm.

          As i told, this is the last Sunday i can spend my time at home and for the next 8 months, I will be out. To be honest, everyone would enjoy this day, but in my position, i don't even have the will to enjoy and all i can concentrate is one thing. Studies. I am dreaming for a day when i can tell my parents that i have scored a good rank and i can get my specialty of choice in a good college. All that matters is positive approach and strong will power, and if i can achieve it, then i can read with a mind that a good thing awaits for me in the horizon. But one question remains.. When?????

       

    

After a long time...

     Well, its been a month since i posted my last blog. The reason was, I was depressed, and i was preparing for an exam. I got depressed because i didn't get a seat. But thats life. Time to move on for next year.
      Now anything happened interesting? No, i am sure about that.. Apart from my nephew's naughtiness, nothing was new. He is getting naughtier day by day.. You can deduce from the fact that he made us to change our LCD tv to another ordinary TV given by the Tamilnadu Govt. One more minute, and that LCD would have been history. The sad part, I don't get some important channels because it doesn't have all the bands it should have.
      Kids, now a days, are more interested in electronics than playing toys. But, i realized that they play with electronics rather than toys. My nephew actually walks on laptop ( now i know, why it is called a LAPtop  :P) and also toppled the computer monitor.. Then he pulls out all the wires, batteries, and all medicine bottles. We need to constantly monitor him, otherwise, the house will be in disarray. Already it is. But we love it..
      Time for some technic titbits.. First of all, I need to know what Google chrome has in mind, because they introduce newer versions without significant changes. Firefox has released their RC, and finally, finally and finally, cool iris is back with it.. ( Its an add-on ) Apart from that, there are no other significant changes.
       I recently came across a browser named Rockmelt, and i am really stunned with the features it has. Rockmelt is a social browser, where you need to log in with Facebook account, and you can add twitter and youtube to the sides. Really guys, give a try.. Its awesome. And it uses the same Google chrome base. I mean chromium open source. ( Never, ever ask me what is chromium; i also dont know ) After installing the browser, i realized i spend all the time in internet in social networking.. Yeah, call that productive... Seriously, useless to the core... Social networking sites eat time. But cant help it. Yes i am addicted to it. Dot.
       My friend told me about an app called Joiku spot, for Nokia mobiles.. Its an app that converts your mobile internet to wifi tethering. Seriously, i needed that.. So, if any of you have nokia wifi mobiles, try it. You will love it. And i realized the speed of 3G today. I have an airtel connection, and that wifi tethering gave me a speed of 2.5 MBPS. Well, there is a way to spend money even with 3G... :) Its upto you whether to purchase full version or the light free version. I belong to the latter. ( For those who don't know wifi tethering, its just that your phone will act as wifi router).
      I watched movies like Black swan, 127 hours and some others. ( they dont even deserve to be named ) 127 hours was awesome, Black swan, same old psycho story, but Natalie deserves full credits to it. Her acting was simply amazing.. Next is Kings speech which i will let you know after i see it.
       World cup cricket has reached its Q/F stage. And India are shaky. Sachin's jinx is on. And our Dhoni, he is blaming others as usual rather than concentrate on his batting. ( seems he is working on his vocabulary) And India's nightmare in the form of reverse swing showed its head against westindies. We may see its full form soon against quality bowling attacks.
        Well, its high time for some serious studies.. Like that of Vodafone zoozoo... :)
