Toothbrush and Teacups...

Yet another day in the class. Interesting stuff is what we are doing. Yesterdays assignment was to write the product specs of a toothbrush. Just the headings. Now don’t go ROTFL. It is a tough job. Do you know how intricate a toothbrush is?

We have to write it for a person who has been in coma since birth and has just woke up. Interestingly though, the dude knows English and can understand things! Just that he has forgotten about toothbrush and the details regarding it. So we have to write something for a toothbrush, which is akin to a user manual!
The dude thanks us:
“I have more friends now!”
Yeah sure…people can come within a mile radius of yours now!

Why do we write such mundane things?
A toothbrush!
Why not some cool mobile phone or a new motherboard?
This particular toothbrush it self has around 15 headings…when expanded it would certainly reach around 3 pages.
So imagine a motherboard…dozens of ICs, many a function…it will be a large document…
Wrote the specs of the toothbrush in the morning in a chaayakada (tea shop) sipping on a hot cup of tea... :D

Too bad the university exams are on…I will be missing core classes next week…3 theory papers and our screwed up system in college may give us a very hard time by keeping our labs on the very next day of our exams. God save us all if it happens…
Has to start studying for the exams…but today gone as I have to face a tough battle today. That really warrants another post, as it would be my final outlaw stunt in college.
After the three in next week another three are left…one of them really deadly…Database Management Systems…
I have high hopes of passing what I have written so far…really hope the university will be benevolent as well.

Sigh!

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Get ready for Shyamaprasad's Rithu

His new film, Rithu (Seasons), is a buddy tale that blooms in the changing social and emotional landscape of a small south Indian town. Three childhood friends, who grew up in the same neighborhood and went to same school and college, weave up their dreams about life together. Sarat, Varsha, and Sunny were inseparable in their love, bonding, and innocence. Sarat and Varsha grew fond of each other, in a more internal and less physical manner. Sunny is more like a brother to Sarat. To raise money to achieve their dreams, Sarat leaves for California to live and work. The other two take up jobs in Bangalore. Three years later, they return to the throes of their changing hometown. After an emotional reunion and a sweet build-up of hopes, each finds that beneath their camaraderie, they had actually outgrown their old selves.  via movies.rediff.com My cousin is working on the post production of this movie and he is raving about it. His ravings and my tastes sometimes co...

Amused

Just went through the movie Shatranj Ke Khiladi ( Satyajit Ray ) came upon the following dialogue. Very Amusing and Educational to say the least! :-P Some British Officer: Also dresses up like a Hindu God, I'm told. His Junior: Yes, sir. He also composes his own operas. SBO: Doesn't leave him much time for his concubines......not to speak of the affairs of state. Does he really have 400 concubines? HJ: I believe that's the count, sir. SBO: And 29 muta wives. What the hell are muta wives? HJ: Muta wives, sir. SBO: That's temporary wives. HJ: Temporary wives. - Yes, sir. A muta marriage can last for 3 days, 3 months or 3 years. Muta is an Arabic word. SBO: -And it means temporary. HJ: No, sir. SBO: - No? HJ: It means, enjoyment, sir. SBO: Oh! Oh, yes. I see. Most instructive. Powered by ScribeFire .
