New year, New Hopes...

New year mornings are almost always not too special. Late wake ups and a rush to the school or college. Thankfully it is sunday today. So I can relax my ass today. New year brings with it a lot of new hopes and fears as well. Engineering Life will be dead and buried by May and I have got an uncertainity over my future. Lets see how things work out. I am optimist and I hope for the best.
Last year was pretty important for me. I have blogged about it in the fellowship blog. It is not that bleak as I wrote in that article though.
This year I hope would be good for all of you out there and for me as well. Haris and me have started a new newsblog. Web Vibz. It gives you information on all happenings on the internet and web scene. It has stemmed from our frustration at not able to find web news from one spot. It is not just for geeks mind you! I hope we will not be discouraged and carry on the work even if there is poor response. By the way I wanted the blog to be called 'Newt' and have a Newt as the mascot. But Hary just trashed my idea :-(
Hary has done an amazing design job in the site. Check out the collapsible posts and the integration with delicious.
It has currently got two posts and some information live from various sites. Please check out and please spread the word so that people visit the blog...

Scholarship!

Found this is Friday Five and liked it. 1. If you were to have a scholarship created in your honor, what qualities would you look for in applicants (leadership, service, GPA, etc.)? GPA is bullshit. People with high GPA can be both muggers and geniuses. There can be people with no real "definitive talent" having a high GPA. Also, some can be flatout arses with no regard for the society. I would never create a scholarship in terms of GPA. Service is paramount. IQ and EQ both are equally important. Abstract thought counts. Creativity would be a defining factor. Enthusiasm is a must. There will be personal interviews. 2. Who would be eligible to apply for your scholarship (members of a certain major, ethnic group, sexuality, etc.)? No discrimination except there would be a weightage given to economically disadvantaged. Their need would be greater than that of a well to do kid. 3. Would it be need-based or not? Why? Need-based is contentious. Whose need? Some may need the money ...

The End...

This is the final post in this blog. Nearly five years ago, I started this blog from an Internet Cafe. 5 years on, the blog has probably chronicled my state of being. The triumphs, losses, disappointments et al. All this while, I have been experimenting with lot of things and even tried to switch the blog multiple times. This time the switch is for real. I want a fresh start without the baggage. You could even say I am a little inspired by Up in the Air. I don't really have an ETA for a new blog. I could start posting today, tomorrow, or never. Go to: Idle thoughts and update your references. See you out there! Signing off with these words from Jim Morrison: This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I'll never look into your eyes...again Can you picture what will be So limitless and free Desperately in need...of some...stranger's...
