Poem : Her & Me.

Hi fellas!

My college kept me really busy since my last post with a spate of seminars, quizzes, tests, reports and what not! Well, now I am done with my II sem-end exams and so, I'll be updating my blog frequently. It feels so frustrating to apologise and/or make(?) excuses every time you can't take time to blog! I don't have access to net from my hostel, so it just makes it so much harder than it already is. Probably I have to start MoBlogging :P.

[PJ:

Q: Why do they call Mobile blogging as MoBlogging?

A: WHY??!! Try doing BileBlogging. YUCKK!!!]

OK, OK, I know I digress. It was just a futile attempt of mine to catch up with the PJoKings of our class. I guess they are on a different level altogether. Don't even dare to ask me about my lecturers ;P.

SJCE's ( i.e my college's) magazine titled 'Jayzine' got released during the college fest 'Jayciana'. I had my two poems published in it. ( Had? I am in the Ed Board, remember? :D ) Well, one was my lengthy, lonely, sad and angry poem - 'Perfidy', and the other was named 'Her & Me'. I also did a part of the achievements section and collected the one-liners for filling up. I thought of 'Her & Me' when I just sat outside my home in Bangalore gazing at the hazy stars. She had visited my home only a couple of weeks before. I completed the poem while shuffling between B'lore and Mysore.

Her & Me.

She stepped out of the car

Avoiding the puddles with care.

Soft lips curved as she saw

Me looking at her face fair.

Beautiful glittering eyes looked into mine,

Joyful tears dissolving in the rain.

As I lifted her up in my arms,

She enveloped me with her charms.

The fragrance of the pink flowers

Bedecked on her soft hair

Refreshed me like a cool shower

And knocked me out of air.

We played together,

We laughed together,

And when we danced

It was I who tripped.

Sometimes I was a horse, sometimes an elephant,

And a victim to many an endless rant.

Funny that a cute tiny child three feet

Can tame a wild man six feet.

The source of inspiration for this poem was my very little cousin, a cute toddler, Vaishnavi who bounces around for a whole day whenever she sees me.

PS: I am not six feet tall. Her father is that and more :) .

PHEW!!!!!!

Sorry pals!

I know I have sinned and committed the Himalayan blunder of the blogging world. I should have posted a simple "Hi fellas" at least. But I had my reasons - my sis's engagement, my sem-end exams, her marriage, monthly tests and a bit of laziness on my part have all conspired against me and kept me away from my own "thoughtful self" ;-) Well, I am glad its all over now.

Now that I went through my blog again, I saw that I have loads to upload and I really don't know where to start from. Well, that Stallman's speech was awesome. The special thing was that there was a hoax call telling that a bomb will explode at 1.30 pm that day but the seminar went on without a hitch, except for the cancellation of the Q session. Anyhow I only got to know about the bomb at 1.45 pm ( after I got his autograph - "Happy Hacking!!" ;-) and questioned him outside about Microsoft's infant Open Source OS - " Singularity" but he did not have any inkling of what it was ). Anyways, I am hale and hearty now - so don't worry! I am in one piece too :P !

Then, my sister's marriage!! Well it went on real good and it was a lot of fun - at least for me ( my parents were relieved when it was over :-) Boy! They were so tired! ). Of course, they had so much on their hands and I was of not much of a help staying in Mysore. The strict attendance rules of our "Autonomous" college prevented me from being of any significant help. Well, I would not be of any help anyways, being as lazy as I am ;-P .

My exams went ok too, though not too good. The recent test went well. Well, in the meanwhile, I managed to win both the tech quizzes held by LCC ( Linux Campus Club) of my college. It was a lot of fun. I managed to learn a lot and keep apace with the seniors in the CS dept. I still have to learn a lot though. I had no idea of the things the organisers deemed elementary while asking questions.

And here is good news! My article titled "Mobile Operating Systems" came in the IEEE magazine "INTERFACE"! I will post it shortly. It was just an intro to the various mobile operating systems making waves today. And I made it to the Editorial Board of my college magazine "Jayzine". I am in the English section. I hope I can improve my creativity by mingling with the great minds of my college.

Oh, I have written a couple of poems too though not for the magazine. I shall post it when the time is ripe.

Well, that's about it. Stay tuned for further updates :P.
