Life is what you make it.! indeed!

******** ***** ***** Life is what You Make It ******** ****** *****

I ordered this buk from indiaplaza...after reading many reviews and hoping that it would kick some sense in to me about Bipolar disorder...thinking i could connect myself to the protagonist, and how she changed her life, and what did she really make out of it...?
This books tells us the story of ankita(a few significant years of her's) who recovers from a bipolar disorder..
A tale, at its core a love-story that makes us question our beliefs, about ourselves and our concept of sanity and forces us to believe that life is truly what one makes it...it was told that this was actually bits of real experiences stiched together...

people wish, they think, they try, they act and finally they just keep numb to the situations and expect them to be conducive to what they want. Life is not always like this...It is not about you anymore, it never was...actually...
we should never forget that we are always accountable to some one counting on us...

I never believed untill these times that there were actually people who regard happiness as pocession and those very small incidents kept as souveniers in their memories....

Even after so many problems, life is so great....I'm a CONTENT living being..Let the headache and anxiety attacks come...let the hurdles come...let the claustrophobic ordeals i faced repent on me...let not sleep come to me...let not achievements come easily to me...let the people around regard me a failure...let my peers boast on their achievements...le me be surrounded by condescending jerks...I'm still satisfied...I'm still Happy....Because I'm still 'ME'...So what if there are is a large group of baddies around? There are a few good people who make this place a better place to live in, isn't it??

Life was never about to live for satisfaction but to live with it, what makes it a worth...

Life is how you take it and it surely is HOW YOU MAKE IT

definetly a keeper...

PS: Never thought 57 rupees would be sooo inspiring...as they say..you'll never know...!!!

The MIT challange

OMG... Look at this fellow.. I am trying hard as much as i can... not to end up in a mental intution by having just 3 loads of coursework. and this guy seems unreacheble..

This is the story of scott who promissed himself that he would comlete the whole bachelor degree curriculum of MIT's computerScience Engineering.

violin @ Music college..

Finally... childhood dream check..

ii saari for sure... last time lagaa edoo join ayyeesi.. nela tarvata naaluka karchukuney scene leedabba...

Enrolled myself as a student in Government Music college, Nellore.

Now I have one more thing in my already hectic schedule... Nikhil.. You're busy again..

College, violin, Mooc's. now that's what i call a life... :) oops..  a little bit of Spanish as well...:P

My experiments with MOOC's..! 2

Introduction to Artificial intelligence.. the AI-Class.

i alwasy used to say... Being smart or being logicial is in no way different to being lazy. logical thinking is lazy thinking.. :D. all you need is to hit the right cords...and that's it.. problem solved. and so i felt that there was his sense of aptitude for diving into artificial intelligence.. :) (there by making people more lazy..)

Ironically this was the first class announced on the to be called MOOC platform, sadly many people couldn't make it and dropped.. party because of the wide range of audience 100,000+ :P. It looked like the course wasn't intersting at the start and that made people uncomfortable with basic dicrete math, probability and logical thinking. we were given a crash tutorials with these pre requisites. :) though. I was happy because i was one among those lucky who completed the course..
the only thing that differed between this online and the real stanford class was that we were not given any priogramming assignments to work on... although there was an end programming contest that was inked to other sites. It was optional.. and logically i wasn't that proponsed towards doing it.. watched some code snippets though.. python looked interesting. :).

the class also offered a free membership to AAAI for those who complete the class in top 10 percentile..though i was not in in the top 10. i did manage to get among the top 25 herd. :)

I even volunteered for working on subtitles for the videos..:) mixed reactions about this though.. :(


Overall my first experience with open courses. A rare chance to learn from the real masters -- Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig. Although, there were not much coding , the class was enjoyable and intellectually challenging.


a more comprehensieve review on the first ever online classes from the ivyleague universities..:) from a student of stanford university goes here.

New Year Resolutions.. :)

As always.. i hope this year would go as bloody dirty as it can get to me.. just stopped being optimistic.

had a dumb newyear celebration yesterday with neighbours... people are testing me. how far can you poke a person about a subject he is least interested in.. well come to my neighbourhood...

we have ***** who doesn't even care to complete his graduate degree in science, Mr. ****** who's primary motive in life is to feast on other's happiness..(Dementor kind from HP.)
and people who never cared for me during times when i needed them much and now suddenly out of nowhere they come to ask me about how's my life.. well for you callous fools i care less. Burn some day you will relise..but hey wait wait..who are you to me...ou never trusted me, you never believed in me, you never had faith in me and you nevr loved me or cared for me. so please get out my life.. never come back poking at me. ever again..
uhmm.. settling with that..
This year marks some thing special in my life... I'm at college finally.. thanks to my uncle for the funding..I hope i would repay you some day.

Now to the mundane New Year Resolutions...

1. learn spanish... this time more of it...get off the training wheels for god's sake..
2. The Mooc's (massively open online courseware's) as they are called now, seem pretty interesting, why not  develop an alternate curriculam myself..
3.violin for sure this time..:P
4. make my father and the drunk planets to set a correct muhurtam for my upanayanam... been waiting fro this since 4 years... damm..
5. Get a passport, a Driver's license.
6. Give IELTS and set everything for admissions next fall intake.
PS: 7. let our book (my brother's book...come to certain shape).

God please make atleast, 3 of the above come true.. :)
