Freaky Friday

This had knocked my brain around 10-11 months back but the lazy soul wasnt geared up to pen down something on it.This actually was a result of a gyrating long languid class of object oriented analysis and design,this might sound a very eminent part of software engineering and infact it is ;but the bloody wild bear never let us fell likewise.By bloody wild bear i ve all ma fingers pointing to Gunasekaran,the lecturer oh!!correction he got promoted,the Senior lecturer who screwed us all.Besides all these things i wud owe him one thing, that this was the only time where the creativity and brains of the backies ran faster than a Micheal Owen spree(with his legs all recovered obviously) or may be even a pulsar 180cc with castrol GT fueled in it.Give us any tough,smart mind boggling sudoku with one class of object oriented analysis and design and ur bound to get the solution in moments that too served hot at ur desk.

Now coming back to the fact which i thought i was the first one to find out,but it wasnt that infact was a figment of ma imagination(this metaphar is ma recent creation),finding on the innernet i could easily locate 8-10 sites stating the same thing i was and thattoo in decibels much louder than mine and with speakers that had true value bass and rock genre.

Consider the code:-

#include
#include
int main()
{
clrscr();
struct tm *gmt;//object of the structure tm with acts as actual parameter to asctime()
time_t t;
t=(time_t)0x7FFFFFFF;//the POSIX time_t object
gmt = gmtime(&t);
printf("GMT is: %s", asctime(gmt));
t++;
gmt = gmtime(&t);
printf("GMT is: %s", asctime(gmt));
return 1;
}
OUTPUT:-
GMT is Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038
GMT is Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901 !!!!!The name freaky friday co-realates here)!!!!!

Now the output should have time somewhere pondering around in the year 2038 but its not so.The reason behind is that POSIX or for that matter any other time service uses co-ordinated universal time(UTC) and this counts the number of milliseconds since jan 1 1970, and we predominantly use a 32 bit computing system so the maximumvalue that time_t object can take is 2^32,that counts to be 4294967296.Exceeding thislimit the object tends to take the most negative value possible and that ofcourse is -4294967297.Now this corresponds to jan 1 1901.So we might be getting a problem in the year 2038 wherein all the 32 bit based software or programs will be set to the year 1901.
The solutions that are in place are implementing the ifs and buts control statement to reengineer the code of legacy systems but by far the most optimal solution had to be to change the storage paradigm of time_t to 64 bit.

Aspire To Despair

Once upon a time
A paraphrase started with the same old chime
Nobody wanted the mess to dine
VIT wasn’t a place so sanguine

I still regret the college I choose
But truly speaking had none other option to disclose
A place where the teachers aptly define bellicose
I can finish in no time a 500gm glucose

A place to learn, a chance to grow
Buried in a deep furrow
& still you got meters to burrow
The rules being beguiling callow
What is that the girls love to swallow?
Red, blue and the shitty yellow
Notices conferring the dirty fellow
“Pending enquiry” is what they embrace
The virtual management dealing with all the case
Hide the face & screw without trace
With Federor hitting all the ace
Is Nadal still in race?

Tis square you gotta drive
Coz there are fielders elsewhere to hop and dive
With the girls being so anorexic, ll turn a blue litmus green
All I want is the heart of queen
Why is the queen of hearts always in her teen?
Common stop complaining to the dean
The chancellors’ bequest is all they win

In the confusion of guna’s psycotism
Emilie Rose wud definitely affirm exorcism
All I want is guna in a museum
All I want is a tint of freedom
All I yearn for is a hint of freedom

N.B:-Guna is one of our horrible faculty members.. i hope u people too ve a tryst with him.. afterall y shld only we suffer

Pre-Scripted Answers

The Placement season has just struck reality and the atmossphere is still hot with the uncanny warmth of the most FAQ "Are u appearing fo Placement in TCS?".I got dumbstruck when the hostel supervisor too asked me the same question, such is the impact of TCS in our college,with we getting mails from our Aluminus in TCS stating the lakhs of ruppes that we ll be earning per month and all yout to do to avail this jumbojet package is bid one year of yur time in TCS.With students being made to mug up the questions and a pre determined answer to the questions so that u look damn confident and not whimsical in ur interview for life.

Are these pre-scripted answers going to help other than making it tuff for the interviewers to recruit the students or God knows it may even make things easy for them, the way Dean Andersen found it easy in kavya Vishwanathan's "How opal mehta Got kissed,Got Wild, and Got a Life " even though the weight of her resume was far more than she would weigh given the gravitational force gets doubled.I have a stong intution that as HOWGIH almost ruined the chances of her getting into her dream College, where she cud not cite one human friend of hers nor she cud say anything about the romances she had with boys(coz she had none),the same is going to be repeated in the interviews.Twas pathetic,atleast i felt so,seeing people around jotting down points to say to the hackneyed Interview chap(this word is in hindi) question--"Where do u see yourself 3 years ,5 years and 10 years from now" and the answer which we were taught was "i wud be a project lead in 3 years a manager in 5 years and an even senior manager in 10 years". I doubt if it cud get me through the interview and i regret that all these efforts to teach us will stochastically go in vain coz i dont think i ll ever use these trademark banality answers.

All for one ,One for all ,Divide and rule -its not cool

Well the catch line itself is self-explanatory showing a vista of my blog. This was one of the many posters endeavoring to stark reality to Mr. Arjun Singh .Going by figures five out of ten people coming under the scheduled caste/OBC are illiterate while when the ball comes to the other side its even gloomy, three out of ten are literate. Is our government that bad at statistically analyzing data, if yes then why don’t they employ intelligentsia of the Indian Statistical Institute instead of people who are more interested in minting money rather than succor to take the path of a developed nation.Caste was something that existed too many years back, and such rulings can only gait as a spark to a keg of petroleum whose cost too has erupted in a cataclysmic explosion. It’s only oblivious of our “democratic” government, which focuses on egalitarianism, to abide by such a petition and I may prophecise that its implication may lead the formation of a new terrorist party inconceivable if not a political one, coz the young guns of today having been deeply influenced by “Rang De Basanti” believe in bringing the government to stark reality through the so called dhamaka. Even the remarks of witty politicians have been a surmise. By the statement-“Both sides have valid points” I don’t have any idea of what Rahul Gandhi means but what I think is that he, or for that matter any politician/Indian related to politics, wants to argue on the two sides of a mobius strip –a twisted ring of paper which technically possesses only one & that is this ruling is not going to help India in near future. Apparently, this is just going to raise the percentage of education in India and not the technical or managerial caliber level of the Indians.Everything I had ever believed about the demise of the caste system was suddenly looking like a brilliant sham with such insensible plans. The castes scheduled as SC, ST, OBC, EBC & any such BC are not facing any pariah or ostracism from the society, which they were a decade before and which to an extent supported the Mondal petition, in the current world and the new generation can in no way consider reservation to be their legacy or hereditary right in the country. Their parents had their share of luck to improve their economic condition and prove to the country they were not bane and their children too should do it but without any share of reservation and truly speaking they don’t need any, coz they avail all the facilities that the general countrymen do.The government should realize that such decisions could not only make the SC/ST/OBC‘s complacent towards their career but also lower the level of students in esteemed institutions and on top of it sow seeds of dissension. It’s high time for the ministers to consider the peaceful processions by students of various colleges and the protests in Nepal as a warning to the upcoming tempest which could not only lead to their downfall but also create mayhem and pandemonium along with smashing its goodwill to smithereens and this act could only be synonymous to invincible Dhoni screwing the Australians at pitch Perth.

The Indian Way

This is something that had a bell ringing in my head yesterday while going through a newspaper article. Most of the Indians and I would say almost all who are providential to know Hindi do possess of a habit, which quite craftily says a lot about our behavior and mindset. We try to end up every sentence in a contradictory sense like:- "hai na", "tum phir aaoge na" etc and sometimes ,though totally unaware, we use the same intonation while speaking English too like:- "I am Right no" instead of saying it "Am I right". Both have a tint of question mark associated with them, as we engineering students have with the first sight of the question paper thinking if we have ever come through the inauspicious, infact it becomes quite inauspicious if u don't know the answer to it, word during our one night struggle but a philosopher may cunningly unearth the difference between the two. Isn't it ironic that we have an irony associated with a bulk of communication we do.Looking at the other side, are we really having a sanguine start but ending in a pessimistic way. Do we infact get cajoled with the slightest hint of success but tenaciously have the consequences of failure at the back of the mind? And if you endorse with me, is this the basis of the "no" being appended to the lines we speak.Something even disparate hung by my head as I kept walking on the lane back to my house in the stormy evening i.e. is this consequence of failure or the thought of what people around us would say, engulfing us to a hibernation where our creativity get clogged and we become precarious to make changes in the way things are going resulting in a precisely slow up gradation of the economy and society. Though I know I am quite far from the affirmative where I could say "Bingo" I got it and could draw out an explanation for the same but yet seeing the way life has gone for me or the way I have looked at life and for the others around me, I can substantiate quite a lot of instance and I think you would too be in a position quite similar to this after thinking about the gibberish that I have scribbled so far.

A Chance !to be Wasted

The English soccer team is by far the best squad they have ever had and on top of it, Wayne Rooney's return could be earlier than anticipated as recent scans have shown rapid progress and he could be fit and rocking for the opener agains Paraguay.However if he doesnt then the paucity of a good striker will definitely haunt Sven for the days to come. Keeping an uncapped player Theo Walcot in such a prestigious and swashBuckling championship will definitely bring a grim to the punters who ll see it as a sanguine gift from god.Though i havent seen him play but to receive a call from Sven that too to replace Rooney speaks volumes by itself.If he fails then then its all upto the talismanic Owen, my favorite, too deliver the goods.Having just recovered from a fractured bone his form is neither too good and was almost eking a bare existence from farming in an arid land when he came on field to play for Newcastle United after a hiatus of over two months.Its wasnt a good sight at all seeing Owen Limping in his twenty minute play but he is a player who has taken the batan to the opposition in crunch times before and hopefully wont let the expections of the fans turn squalid.

With a country known to produce esteemed midfileders, midfield domination wont be a problem for England.Gerrad,Lampard,Joe Cole,Bekham all are in prime form.Gerrad after a match winning performance against the westHam, after being 3-1 down, came with an unmatched performance to set the gait for victory.Even Bekham scored a free kick against Sevialla few days back and also came up with another goal minutes later.Defence is also no worry for england as they have experienced campaigners in that department too.

With world cup at the door step and England in group which isnt that difficult sven Could prophecise a long lasting stay in the world cup.However, its him who has too decide the strategy to replace his most lethal front man, Rooney,with either Joe cole coming into the action as a Center forward or Theo walcot which ought to decide whether England will reach the nadir of fortunes coz of the anathemic demonic forces or the zenith of their football history with the exuberance of youth coming in.
