A Grimy year old post!

29th March 2012 I found this super old post in my hard disk that I'd written as a sticky note. Just tells me how it was this time of the year, last year! Today. Was very eventful indeed. I am now in the AC lab feeling a bit better, but - nature literally chose to attack me today. :( I feel terribly dirty. First the canteen fellow used the same cloth he used to wipe the window sill, the rust under the stove etc. to wipe the tawa that is used to cook the dosa on. And I actually ate it! I'm getting immune to the bad hygiene. These days I switch my brain off so I stop caring about whats being put in my mouth. Later today I played Frisbee and a fly went into my nose while I was running! And I tried to blow it out, but I dunno if it managed to escape what would seem like a tunnel of grime to the insect. Another one bit my lower right eyelid for some unknown reason and it started to sting! By now I was having a really hard time telling myself all this was a co-incidence. The din...

New friends

I should try some too!) I remember the first time I actually spoke to Rhutu. I saw him when Shivani was talking to him in NID, during the first Chitrakatha. I didn't pay much attention to him, because I was too busy soaking in the environment. There's so much energy in NID, it was overwhelming. I had a wonder...

Google wishes me!

22nd Oct 2012 How wonderful to login my google account and find this!!! It's totally made my day. I'm already teary! Here's another photo which really touched me by my fellow HP fan mamta. :) This is absolutely 'wunnerful'! :)

I'm learning French!!

14th July 2012 I have always wanted to learn french, but I never got the time or the opportunity! Luckily I was going through the TED videos and I found this AMAZING site called Duolingo that helps you learn different languages for free!! The only way you pay is with your time and you help translate sites like wikipedia, and you learn by translating! :) Isn't that cool? Here's a video explaining how it works: Here's the video through which I got to know of its existence - a TED talk of Lui von Ahn who invented CAPCHA!
