I happened to watch Yuvraaj yesterday (out of boredom and no other handy choice) and it looked like the movie has been shot just because they had to. It seemed as if towards the end, the director got bored of directing the movie, so ended up with the abrupt hospital scene and ended it right there. Not the sorts of things Mukta arts produced in the Past.

बिछड़ गया हर साथी देकर
पल दो पल का साथ
किसको फुर्सत है जो थामे
दीवानों का हाथ
हमको अपना साया तक
अक्सर बेगार मिला …

What do you do when you feel very very tired, very sleepy and have some important task at hand? Especially when the known solution - Caffeine doesn’t work?
1 Ltr of juice and coffee later, it still doesn’t help much. I got to find new alternatives to stay awake. The jaagrans have started, and exams are nowhere in sight.

Dear Lazyweb,
With all the idiots that I end up talking to, and all of them giving me different answers, I resort to you, O Lazyweb!
Q: Do I need a transit visa?
I’m travelling on a French type D visa, to Nice via London Heathrow. The time between the two BA flights (BOM-LHR and LHR-NCE) is 2h 40 mins. I don’t change airports, but I do change terminals and go from t5 to t1.
Quite a few people commented that I don’t need a transit visa, then some said I do. If you do know a definite answer to this, please leave a comment. You could also point me to some phone / email id that you think might help. Any help is appreciated!

can be as naive as “forgot to put the brackets” to as buzzy as “left the scope undefinied”.

And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
No longer blown hither and thither;
The last lone aster is gone;
The flowers of the witch hazel wither;
The heart is still aching to seek,
But the feet question “Whither?”
Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?

I wish I was as disciplined as I was in school.

- The talks at Lala lajpatrai college went well.
- Spent more time travelling on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway (and the Chembur-Sion-VileParle Mumbai darshan trip that comes free with it) than attending talks at Gnunify’08 at Pune. Reached just-in-time for the linuxchix-india talk+BoF.
- Finally got a chance to be at the Kala Ghoda Arts festival this year.
- Had awesome fun at the Freemap India workshop in Mumbai. (This calls for a separate entry)

A new word that I came across today:
SNAFU: Situation Normal, All Fscked Up.
P.S. I think I need to re-read the jargon.
