Rarely,has a movie been capable of soothing your senses and instigating your mind simultaneously.... One such impact was delivered by this serene but profound Biographical movie about the adventures of of Christopher McCandless.
The movie reaches out to you in a manner which is more than just an experience... Every frame is a meticulously taken picture, every emotion is profound and reaches out to you in an appealing way... The dialogues and conversations are highly idealsitic,but proven by the man himself as pragmatic too...
The best scenes are when a casual chat in a bar with a companion and the protagonist about 'people' turns into a real outburst of frustration,which i personally felt that we all have within us but are hypocritical about...
The next favorite scene is when the rubber tramp calls Alex-Are you a Jesus or something !!!, for his simple but deep analysis of the rubber tramps problem...
It is a master piece of sorts,but not belonging to the conventional lots...
But more than anything, when I think that it is the life of a man which has been portrayed, I felt all the more close to the character,and distanced from myself.... The weak human bonds, the false truths, the hypocrisy, the herd-like competition, the hatred towards the self and the fellow beings-all these make our lives futile...
I just wonder there is so much within us which is never expressed at all,and we perish unfulfilled,haunting ourselves through life ,and to death...
Live the moment to the fullest-is the best philosophy in the world.... Ironically, we have made it the toughest one to follow also...

Maximum of 20 minutes on any task has been the concentration period off late,the shortest duration as far as I can remember. Reading books, writing posts or essays, watching a movie, coding for project, listening to music....All these have been affected by Raghu's Restless Mind Syndrome....
Although, i seem to know the reasons behind, I have been unsuccessful in nullifying their impact on my performance... It seems weird to feel this way...The question I ask myself is-Then what else will cling me on.... !!!
In hot pursuit of a solution to this condition....
Nice caption...Isn't it... This was one of the analogies which emanated from one of our cool FSMK activist, while he was trying to motivate us in building the team...
This analogy has a profound value in itself... The efforts each of us(guys mainly...cos girls seem to care less about us) have taken until now,to grab the attention,impress and to get the girl we like comes from within the core of us...
The passion,the perseverance, and the ever increasing creativity churned out of us while doing something we really want has a huge-should i call it USP !!! (cos,USP is the closest term to what i wanna convey)....
And if you really want to accomplish a task in the best possible way, you've got to fall in love with it,in a way you are mad about your girl....
After doing our routine rounds of work at the lab for the project,the best time comes when both the shift students get together for dinner. The sense of freedom we experience during such a time without any hinderances from anyone or anything is unparalleled.For instance,today we converted our discussion table in our Software Development Lab into a perfect dinner table.
The team members felt that this was the way to celebrate independence,with Independence Day only a few minutes away.And,they also insisted on me blogging about it....
A bowed percussion instrument made of a half coconut shell, a stalk of wood, three steel wires and a bow made of- I could not guess what.... The musician was a 12-13 year old boy with deep,but volatile eyes...
He starts playing very famous Kannada track-Aadisi nodu..,then a Hindi song and another for around 15 minutes in a very crowded bus on the Hebbal ring road...This is my second encounter with him,although I've travelled only few times on that route...He seems immersed in some deep thoughts,playing his music mechanically but perfectly...His eyes are wandering from point to point in a fast moving bus...
I wonder what his future would be-Would he continue playing it for very little money he gets in these buses, or would he give this up and take up something else ,or become a professional musician!!! I feel, he could be any of these or anything apart from this depending on his will power and perseverance....
Ideas-are-immortal: These were the lines formed in my mind while I was watching one of my favourite movies -V for Vendetta...
I had later pondered over this phrase for sometime and realised it was one of the universal truths.... Ideas emanating from great minds have revolutionised the world by making their eternal presence felt -in and all around us...
Ideas of Science, Philosophy and Creation-these have been our lifelines,which have helped us to reach up to this point in the conquest of the Self, and consequently ever thing else,including nature.
The first thing which hit my mind when searching for a caption for my Webpage was Ideas-are-immortal. From then on, it has become my mantra. Now, that I have shared my ideas with a lot many of you on many occasions, even those have attained the status of immortality....
Ideas are the fuel which keep the world going. So, contribute in running the world, by providing your share of fuel !!!
People close to me must have heard me say often-The worst of all laziness is the laziness to think. Just this feeling of someone being reluctant even to think makes me furious. It isn't that I am talking about some fictitious characters,but unfortunately I have happened to know a few of these antagonising creatures.The worstpart is that,they don't even realise that someone is trying to convey something important to them.The paradoxic reason again being the problem itself-they don't think.... In Stephen Covey's book-7 Habits of Highly Effective People, he mentions that no person can be changed without his consent, as each person guards a gate,which we need to open and enter to change them...
I say, beyond this gate is the mind, and the gate itself could be a prejudice or a belief. The process of opening the gate is inquisition and thinking.
Now, for our specimen under consideration, the most unfortunate thing is he doesn't seem to know that he is guarding a gate or at the first place has something beyond that gate which is worth guarding.
Until now,in various instances I have wasted lots of my valuable efforts in trying to convey something which should have been very natural to them....I need to devise a better way of tackling this problem...
The way things are turning these days, I am amazed at the rate of reversals... There have been instances where I had made a few amateur decisions, and when I was fearing that they were wrong, just then those have automatically been undone... It is as if, someone has done a CTRL + Z over my activities...
Even though, I will remain a bit hesitant in endorsing this course completely,I shall do justice to this encore...
"The secret of being a good cook is to keep tasting your preparation at regular intervals"---Regularly repeated by a TV Show host...
And today, when for the first time i prepared chicken,I implemented this mantra.... It was a nice experience of cooking and eating something you love so much,all by yourself and also feeding it to the rest of the family..
Everybody loved it... I enjoyed both- the process and the product....
There have been lots of instances in History, wherein a superior being has lost to a mediocre one,just by the act of pure chance. A loser doesn't necessarily mean is a failure.He could have been an unfortunate victim of mishaps.And likewise, a winner needn't be a flawless personification of abundant talent, he could be a product of synchronised favourable events.
In many cases the amount of efforts put in by a so called loser,is very slightly less than that of the winner.The reward for which is not very consoling,and adds to the feeling of being called a loser.
In true sense, the amount of sincere efforts put in should be the gauge of deciding the rewards. But, this is a hypothetical criterion, as we are programmed genetically to take events as winning and losing, which is never an absolute in the very relative frame.
I had been thinking of posting on my blog for long time.... But, I had no sufficient emotional strength to do it....
This would be the third obituary post since 18th of June, about people I admire, love and adore....
We take people around us, their contribution to our lives for granted... But, when suddenly the life of one such close person is taken away,we feel their importance... The sudden void created makes you confused in all manners... You are suddenly made face to face with a Harsh reality, the one you know exists, but we always hope it would never reach us...
In such an encounter with death, my adorable cousin who was someone very close to us had to part us...Although,I understand death is inevitable, unstoppable and blah blah,this was a sudden and unexpected blow to us...
We haven't been able to accept it yet... I hope that he lives on forever with us, with the evergreen memories he's bestowed on us....
This is the name of a chapter in one of the popular books I'm reading now... As soon as I read this- a spark struck in my head...
I started wondering if this was right...If yes, then what about the philosophies about Synergy.... I began to conclude after some amount of thinking that, the two were actually different, but true...
An individuals strength is explicitly exemplified and amplified when left alone to strive for a task....
But when talking about synergy, it is always the law of averages which is functional.... You can't get a throughput better than that of the sum of the individuals' throughput.
We,the FSMK volunteers cum trainers, along with members from few other organisations were training Government School teachers to use and get comfortable with Free Software,in a Pilot Program by the Karnataka Govt.
I was expecting reluctance,hesitation,mild levels of ego and confusion from the participants...But all that emerged out of these teachers was an extremely high level of enthusiasm, an equalling curiosity and tireless efforts for the first two days...
We were able to break the dogma of The Cyberphobia(Fear of working with computers) from these people the very first day....The joy they subsequently found working on the basics which we taught them,so that it would eventually reach the kids was just heart warming....
The second day was more about trying to make them feel more independent, which is being pursued and will go on to the third day as well....
The kind of awe they were in, while undergoing these sessions puts a big question about the IT revolution India is supposedly going through...In a city where all the major IT players of the world have an establishemnt is ridiculously unbalanced. Its own teachers are literally scared to work with computers... Blaming the Government is something which is eternal...And we've got used to it...
The question is what each of us can do? I genuinely feel that we as a literate community have a lot to do with a sense of sincere concern towards the society we are a part of....
Since long time,I've had many complaints and dissatisfactions with the way any democratic parliamentary government runs and,also in the way it is formed.... Although in principle it is-people ruling themselves,I wasn't convinced with the system and its operation.... There were many other flaws forming lacunae, which I wasn't able to formulate entirely....
Now, recently I have started reading Mein Kempf ,and when I was reading the chapter on Hitler's political views,the inability of my mind to formulate my complaints were very well quenched with the extensive analysis(which is very convincing)presented by him...
Using the concept of majority in making decisions as a protection for their own ignorance and cowardice, and also as a means of shrugging responsibility and accountability by the politicians...
The paradoxic efforts being made to make the stratum of our leaders 'as mediocre as possible'....
The genre of dim wit, but good convincers becoming successful politicians...
The lack of expertise amongst the decision making faculty about the subjects of national importance
The desire not to vote.Reason being-my principles do not match either with the to be elected member or his party...
And undoubtedly,a huge compromise to be made-our country's progress....
By saying these,although I whole heartedly endorse Hitler's views, the solution what he sought for wasn't the least good thing to be done...
I am still in deep thinking-as to what the solution could be !
Lots of possibilities out of the numerous options, and an exponentially increasing confusion....The best solution at a particular moment is bettered by another very soon.... Mind is as if on a pendulum,oscillating between the extremes and never resting at the mean position...
After letting my mind sway on its own accord, I have now resorted to listening to another trustworthy companion- my heart...Making decisions,which are favourable to myself, are a lot easier when listening to my heart... What i mean is- to make decisions which initiate a simple, sweet joy running through the mind and simultaneously a sensation as if a knot has been untied in between my lungs...With implications such as these, the decisions taken will definitely make oneself happy forever...
So, I am moving ahead with one such major decision,which i think is the best thing I've done until now to myself... :)
After four quick years, I have completed my engineering and the path taken happens to be quite amusing,seeing from my end....
When I started B.E,as quoted many times,I used to be a stereotype student,your 'nerdish' character,whose world revolved around academic books,exams and cracking those exams in a manner what now I call 'A ridiculously silly' method to pursue education.
After a late realisation,I have since my start of B.E have been trying to contradict myself in many actions of mine....These have now accumulated and moulded a self proclaimed maverick out of me...
But, now when I look back and try to join the dots backwards as Steve Jobs mentions in an inspirational talk, I see that the decisions I have made during these four years will be the foundation for a new and adventurous life....
B.E in retrospect looks the most beautiful period of my life,thus far......
Physical, physiological and psychological hurdles:Although active only for a short duration of time, each growing like a chain reaction coupled mutually have come to a stop... :)
After making few important decisions and giving time for those to settle down, the best time for me to get back into my life has arrived...
To start with-I enjoyed this easy going and effortless read....This has been one of the rare books which I have involuntarily and effortlessly read through...
The subtle sarcasm which runs through the entire book was initially entertaining,but later on it started hitting me.... It was like standing in front of the mirror and mocking at oneself... For, the entire book brings into light the facets of India each one of us are well aware of but we try not to acknowledge it... The things about our country we do not mention to others and do not consider ourselves, hoping that a miracle will cleanse it all....
The problem with the entire system, the two Indias we try to hide away from, the backbone of our Democracy-Corruption, the need of the moment for India-Entrepreneurs,the competition between us and the yellow men, the tendency of us remaining stuck in a Rooster Coop....Its all there in a well woven tale of a protagonist from a Dark India trying to make it to the Bright India of Light....
Read it, for its entertaining as well as thought provoking...
I don't think we,humans have groomed enough to comprehend many acts of nature...Even if we have understood them,I consider ourselves victorious only when we formulate them into our terminologies- In the language of Math....
Lets see how successful we have been in accurately formulating a few very simple acts of nature:
The ripples and waves created on the surface of water. The enormous patterns painted by the white clouds on the blue sky. The gulping of gusts of thick smoke emanating from a strong fire. The unrhythmic(or should i call it rhythmic !) orchestration of the leaves fluttering. The enigmatic and barely discernible intricacies on our finger tips. The awesomeness in the power of imagination within the hemisphere hoisted upon your neck !!!
There are many more such manifestations of power of nature which would leave us intimidated :)
In the end, the superstar and the recluse were not so far apart. MJ built his stardom on paradox. As a child star he was precocious;as an adult,he was childlike. His only competition was himself.... TOI
A personality known world across, the music surpassing all barriers, the moves causing a surge of disbelief and astonishment.....
Who can forget the starting beats of Billie Jean or the Moonwalk in his performances or the shrill joyous shout in all his songs or the futuristic videos.....
No equalling tribute can be paid to this naive star who sunk in his own stardom....
Michael Jackson- you will continue to be the next word which comes to mind after music and dance....
The genres of forces acting upon my mind right now from diverse directions has just become too much to handle. I've always listened to my mind with a final consent from my heart for all actions emanating from me.... But now, the constraints have tightened and narrowed down options, which are mutually opposing in nature.... I shall give myself some more time to analyse and solve them my way....
It has taken me time to understand the things going around me for quite sometime now....I hadn't realised until very late that many of the things which have happened would be for the last time in my life.... Be it sitting in a noisy class with peers of the same age group, or the regular long commute to my college, or trips to meet friends in other classes, or sitting in first bench inhaling chalk dust and texting,or singing badly incessantly or bragging passionately about A R Rahman to you guys,.... Also i just realised i would not be seeing a many of you for long time....When you all saw me last i wasn't missing anyone of you or anything,but now this excruciating pain caused by the parasite of nostalgia has already started crawling up into my head.... I won't miss all of you or these beautiful things,I'll keep wanting it all..... :(
Four years under your guidance,and even after today,it will never be true that you aren't with us....You are the most beautiful person I have known until now.I doubt if there could be anyone else who could surpass you in any aspect....
You will live forever with us, and can never be separated from our thoughts or actions....
Although you have been an embodiment of immense sensible knowledge and huge accomplishments, the humility that was yours is one of the many many things we need to learn from you...
You will live forever with us in the principles of life you've taught us.....
The lessons you have taught us,will always remain the basis of whatever more we are going to assimilate into us....Electronics at BMSIT wouldn't have been the same without you....
You will live forever in every utterance of electronics by us...
The courage you have shown battling your condition will remain the source of inspiration to fight and rise in our lives.... Every moment of you defying your pain will be invaluable lessons to us...
You will live forever in every courageous step we will take up in our terms of life.....
The pure and impeccable father-like love you showed to us,without any barriers or hindrances will help us believe that love does exist beyond our family....Your love has been like,a pseudo white noise- the most wanted signal covering the entire frequency range.....
You will live forever in the love we will carry and propagate until we join you....
Today, when i saw you,the message of defiance you were conveying, when your ocean deep eyes gazing at a vista unseen to us, were being forcibly closed one after another will be in my eyes throughout my life....
You will live forever in our lives as an important part of our lives....
Although i haven't been able to convert my emotions into words fully,
On behalf of all of us -We love you Sir....
(In remembrance of our beloved Dean,Bandopadhay Sir.........)
Eighth semester of my Engineering and the exams until now consistently have been going on well...But this time, it hasn't been the best....Its not because of my preparation, but i think VTU has somethin in store-A special farewell to us by giving twisted and coiled papers.... Anyways, I ll take them without any complaints- I'm now prepared to untwist and uncoil any thing given to me by VTU :)
I text a postcard sent to you Did it go through? Sending all my love to you You are the moonlight of my life every night Giving all my love to you
My beating heart belongs to you I walked for miles til I found you I'm here to honor you If I lose everything in the fire I'm sending all my love to you
With every breath that I'm worth here on Earth I'm sending all my love to you So if you dare to second guess you can rest assured That all my love's all for you
My beating heart belongs to you I walked for miles til I found you I'm here to honor you If I lose everything in the fire I'm sending all my love to you
...........Song by Green Day in their latest album-21st Century Breakdown,Song-Last Night on the earth.... Listen to the song and the feeling of it, makes these lines much better....
This was a T shirt quote i recently happened to observe.... Today being the World Environment Day,this is apt i guess.....
Because the extent of damage we have already caused has pushed us to a point of no return.... Killing ourselves for the sake of the planet is definitely a permanent solution but by the nature of it it is a highly hypothetical one...
Talking practically, i think if not the above mentioned solution atleast we should kill our current lifestyle, curb it and pin it down....The pace of at which we are living our lives,and the demands we place in front of Mother Nature have certainly gone past the permissible level....We have to play our roles at the earliest in healing Mother Nature,its our first and foremost duty.....
The final set of exams in my Engineering career(hopefully ;) ) are arriving and i'm starting the preparation to welcome them.... I, like always hoping these guests to be pleasant ones and not annoying....
After the eventful period of project work now time to get a bit more stereotypic and start studyin ...
I Wish the very best to those of you taking up exams....
To feel relieved from all the expectations and the pretense of almost a grown up even for sometime,feels like heaven....And when there's an ample amount of good company to share this feeling, its much more than the hypothetical heaven itself...
This was the feeling i carried back home from a 'get-together' today at my friend's very homely home.....I'm sure none of us were conscious of how silly or stupid we had been for that period of around 6 hours....Quarreling over the guesses in the games, accusing others of cheating in the play,having peeped into another's set of cards-its relishing to think of it now....
We weren't the B.E grads who are passing out from college...Just pure fun and there wasn't anything else running in our heads.... Nothing else atleast crossed my mind; although when i was returning home i started getting drawn into the tide of my pending tasks...
Many of my friends as i've heard from them have got the concept of having FUN terribly wrong...It isn't about shrugging your responsibilities and carrying a careless attitude...It's the contrast switch between feeling occupied in some work you really love, and the same level of engrossment in any kind of activity with the right kind of light minded people(the last italicized part is the most important requirement)
Its just amazing how you feel when you are with the right company,having fun...The sensation is unparalleled...So, i call it the school days,when everything was pure, without motive and "just like that" ...Most importantly no justification required for your actions and 'without reason' being the only reason.... :)
In the following argument i am targeting all of you who have done the project in the so called project institutes or more precisely not entirely by yourselves....
Its highly unfortunate for having to see this silly trend of getting your projects done under the highly helpful guidance(sarcastically of course) of your 'Project Institute guides'....There is no need to hide it,cos we know what goes on there..
I shall be giving you a detailed analysis of all the beautiful and important things you've missed out in doing so...These are the things you've missed:
1. The feeling of coming up with an 'idea' of your own, a coagulation of your own thoughts to give form to some abstract thing...Instead of choosing between the tested models of someone else....Sorry, you've lost a great deal of course in honing your brain to think productively...
2.Next comes choosing your plan of action and path of execution: Literally there are 'n' number of ways to bring life to an idea...Selecting the path most comfortable to you could be the best teacher you could ever encounter....Cos, thats when you introspect your real technicality and choose between all the probables.... Here again, unfortunately you have only a road trodden by many to walk through and not a path of your own....
3.Then comes the warm blooded emotional surge of desperation, frustration,helplessness as you realise your ignorance about the things you are supposed to know....Then it is followed by the most beautiful learning exercise-learning for applying....You won't forget these things ever in your life....But, unfortunate again for you,you are made to learn these things before hand like preparing for your internal tests....
4.Then comes the best feeling,atleast my own personal best feeling till now....The inexplicable feeling when you see your idea coming into life slowly, module by module, part by part and the orchestration of all these together-I have no words to describe it...The air of euphoria amongst the team members, the sigh of relief and the anxiety to go and celebrate....Just superb!!!
Well apart from these, the rapport between the team members increases to a great extent, and you discover various hidden flavours of your own personality...
I pose an open contest to those of you who disagree with this- Try defend yourselves.....
I was overjoyed to see my friend so happy on her birthday yesterday...Days like these are essential for us to show how we perceive our dear ones and for them to realise how important they are for us.... The small gifts and very few words make so much of pleasantly positive and mutual impact.... Instances like these soak your heart with emotions and in times like these i find it necessary to say it is touching....
I was listening to the swearing in ceremony of the cabinet ministers and it actually was inspiring,to see my iconic-politician role models like P Chidambaram and S M Krishna endorsing the ministership..... I have frequently asked myself questions- if i would want to become a politician?And the answer affirmed every time by my intellect is an emphatic YES,but only if i have a profile like that of the above mentioned role models and also one more great Indian mind Shashi Tharoor... I admire these great men of intellect functioning for the country....The mind blowing profile each has and the amount of work they've done is intimidating.I think of accomplishing it and it definitely motivates me to do something more,really more...
I myself am amazed at this chain i wrote down....The entire human world has emanated from this chain... Each and every word mentioned above is the basis for our survival until now,and quintessential if we need to live truly a life to be cherished.....
Read it again, give a second extra to each of those and you'll discover the secret which we ignore and search else where....
The latest album from Green Day-21st Century Breakdown, has an amazing collection of tracks which carry all their distinct signatures.... Vocalist Billie Joe sounds the best in this album... Soothing voice standing out in a rock orchestration.... Tracks like Know the enemy and the title track will be instantaneous hits...But, there are few other special tracks which sound very different like 21 guns, Peacemaker, Restless Heart Syndrome,Last Night on Earth which slowly cling on to your mind and reverberate.... They start off with an inro called-Song of the Century...For a Green day fan like me,they've given more than a single song of the century... :) Rock on Green Day !!!!
After a good start on Saturday,the second day of the session continued with the same momentum... We started off with the Free Software Philosophy by an inspiring FSMK volunteer.... Talking about the knowledge barrier,the monopoly of Information products on the market as well as our freedom... Many who were unaware were instigated for sure...
Then about the sessions by IBM-LTC: their train of good talks and sensible exercises continued even for the second day....Kernel primitives,kernel debugging tools,device drivers and so on....The interaction amongst the participants and the IBM-LTC people were the most fruitful....The extent of clarification given on a paricular doubt was way too good....
Then there were mementos from IEEE to IBM-LTC volunteers for the sessions and we wound up by 5:30 pm...
We,FSMK volunteers had a real nice, at the same time very useful time interacting with various people from industry and academics....It has been a very fruitful two days.....
Today ,the much awaited encore workshop on 'GNU tools and Linux Kernel' organised by Free Software Movement-Karnataka(FSMK) and IEEE conducted by IBM Linux Technology Centre kicked off.... After a very formal inauguration with most of the speeches being uninteresting, the session started at 11 am.... FSMK had its stall where our T shirts, posters were sold and sample packets of our philosophy were handed out as pamphlets.... The sessions spread over the entire day upto 6.15 pm covered wide range of topics related to the Kernel Technology and associated GNU tools like GCC,GDB and others... The hands on session sticking to their basic attributes were chaotic and confusing initially but mellowed down subsequently....Two main hands on sessions of 45 minutes each duration were conducted;one on Linux kernel building and its programming,while the second one on Filesystems.... The speakers from IBM were very knowledgeable in whichever topic they handled....The participants as i observed were working professionals in majority while the rest being students... So far, it has been good, but requiring a few more betterments...The only complaint from the participants in general was that too much was crammed up into too little time.... And at the end of the day, we the FSMK volunteers had a very sensible discussion, touching upon the growth path of each of us in this journey of Free Software and our roles in it....
I knew i had been pushing myself a bit harder than what i had been hitherto...I thought my body would comply to my mind's orders.It did...But,ultimately it had to show me that the relation between the two was symbiotic....So, it almost broke down.... I have been involuntarily down,and at home for a full 36 hours,delaying all my works....Just using all the saved up energy to converse on phone and to mail.... My body just sent an alarm asking me to give it some well deserved resting... And now,I feel the new rush of blood(that's obviously because its carrying more oxygen) and a precious relief from an eternal mild pain on my right temple.... Hoping that i won't be reminded of my body's importance in such awful ways again, I'm back on track....
Talking about the course being completed and departing from college,these have actually overshadowed the excitement each one of us, or atleast i personally am feeling about exploring the society at a different level,with less of social and financial security ....Because until now we have not been able to exercise our freedom to the fullest and take risks on our part...
Now, that we'll have a basic requirement namely an engineering degree, it is possible to function independently and to decide the actions we want to take up...The degree of freedom to be exercised would have increased substantially....
I'm actually looking forward to these things and a spark of excitement has already started to glow and is increasing gradually....
A river of vivid emotions and torrential memories,these being held back only by the dam called lack of words. I'm here to share this mixed emotion we are going through and to unload the heavy weight of the memories from ECE 09 batch.
We at he department of ECE are in a dilemma, because the best part of our Dept-Bandopadhay Sir is unwell. We know he will recover soon.
There have been accusations on our class saying that we haven't shown unity for any single cause. Yes, i do agree, but only until now. Here we are- united, showing our love, respect and affection towards Bandopadhay Sir. We love you sir for every beautiful thing you've done to us. You have been an entity closest to both our hearts and minds. We will make you proud by excelling in whatever career we will take up, that's our way of showing you our gratitude. Thank you sir.....
ECE 09 ,BMSIT- this is the tag we bear proudly now and will bear it even in future. For all the opportunities given to us, in all streams of life-the proactive learning environment and the stable platform for growing personally. We have been cocooned during these four most vulnerable years of our lives. The vulnerability being in our career path, our personal lives and personal growth. Not all of us have been lucky enough to have learnt the lessons without making mistakes. But these mistakes made now have cost us a nominal price only. If committed in future it would have cost us a great deal more,because we had the teachers and many friends to fall back and seek support.
Talking about our time spent here, I can tell you not all of us have completely understood the rules and regulations or the motive to which we were being conditioned to by VTU. Nevertheless, we have only one hurdle left, and this seems an antagonising one,for once we've crossed it, we will be leaving behind this institution with all of you. Its definitely a tough call, but we have groomed enough here at BMSIT to survive.... ok, i won't call it survive but to flourish in the highly competitive society, where the demands from an individual have shot sky high. We believe that we can deliver every sensible thing expected of us and the products or results emanating from us will carry an impression of BMSIT.
When I say BMSIT, it includes the good infrastructure, the loving teachers, we the students and the quality symbiotic interactions between the three of us.
It has been a great race of four years with quite a few pit stops( hang outs and outings), few driver changes( break ups and patch ups), engine malfunctions(Phases of depression each of us has been through), retirements from the race(failures at certain tasks not necessarily in exams) and bouncing back. And when we bounce back, we've seen to it that we are at the top. Thanks to all the race stewards-our teachers starting from Bandopadhay sir, Ambika ma'm,Mala ma'm, another Ambika ma'm,Mamatha ma'm,Anil sir, Ramesh Babu sir,Rashmi ma'm, HamsaVani ma'm,Sowmya ma'm and all the teachers from all other departments as well... You have supported right from day 1 not only until now,but we hope this will continue even into our future,because we will always be your students. A heartfelt and sincere thanks genuinely on behalf of ECE 09 to all the teachers who have taught us.
I personally owe a lot to BMSIT, of which I'll always be a proud member,for having given me opportunities which have transformed a timid,shy,good only at exams kind of a guy into an able event organiser and a sensible engineering student. The opportunities like conducting three quizzes- Test Your Common Science, The Opera of Grey Matter and recently The India Quiz. Also the opportunity of becoming a part of the student pico satellite team-STUDSAT, volunteer for FSMK, where BMSIT is playing a key role now, ISTE,Utsaha 08. It has been an amazing journey.
Penultimately, I would thank the management of BMSIT starting from the BMS Trust to our Honourable Chairman-Justice R Gururajan, our beloved Director Dr. A C Bhaskar Naidu and our dear Principal Dr. S .Venkatesvaran. I thank every other individual who is a part of this organisation.That was the penultimate thanksgiving.
I have saved the ultimate one on behalf of all of us at ECE 09 to you guys....The so called Juniors . We are going to miss you all big time...Thanks for all the support you've given and the admiration you've shown towards us. We wish you a bright future......
And thanks to all my friends from my class. We started off as classmates, today we mean different to each other and lets hope we interact life long and remain the same life long....
This was Raghavendra S also known as 1BY05EC030 funnelling the thoughts, emotions and feelings of all of us from ECE 09.
Recently a friend of mine reminded me that our Dean used to say "Electronics is fun",which is true to the core and is getting bigger and better as time progresses.... I must have written entrance tests for some 6 companies of which most of them used to ask programming based monotonous questions.... I naturally love cracking MCQ based tests...But the types of papers I've been answering during my B.E have substantially reduced the fun.... Today i compensated for all of it by trying an all core Electronics and Communication paper by ISRO. It was a thirst of four years....I just loved it,although i haven't done really well and all... But this again proved that Electronics is fun... When few of my friends could not complete a single run through the questions, I did 3 iterations and 15 minutes to spare... The problem for me as i see now with its results are my over excitement will cost a lot of my marks as negatives...In any case the fun was what i loved more than any other prospects....
After being inspired by all the free software activists for the past 10-12 months,it was my turn to do the part.... The venue being HKBK college of Engineering, and after getting a slot with some effort,I with the other volunteers did our best to motivate the students..We had real good audience who were very interactive and enthusiastic....
The session contained GNU philosophy,Eye candy stuffs and a technical review of Free softwares...It was for ISE dept. this time..But, we have been asked to organise future sessions and workshops for both ISE and CSE from FSMK side....
At the end of the day,I see a prospective active GLUG and a good team comprising of students and teachers emanating from HKBKCE....
I have been lying on my bed trying to prepare my farewell speech....Recollecting four years,a long time which actually just flew away.... Memories are flowing incessantly,which i'm unable to hold nor put them down onto paper with ease...Its a sweet pain of recollecting the memories.... I now feel that the words are so powerless....The harder i try to convey my memories out ,its getting tougher by the passing time....There can be nothing on this earth to explain you all what i'm feeling right now.... :)
Accidentally a policeman happened to sit next to me in the bus today morning....He must have been a constable of around my dad's age.....He was the one who started off the conversation enquiring about my phone and we then reached the talk about the notorious China made handsets,it was a feeble argument...But, it was i who was against it and he seemed to support it for his own simple reasons.....
He has been one of the most friendly strangers i have ever spoken to and this has lead to a paradigm shift about these 'until now antagonistic policemen'...
He spoke about his son, his aspirations and being a father his apprehensions....
Then came the shocker,he said he was returning from night duty and we happened to discuss his pay and he was genuine in saying that,the government pays him only Rs.200 per day !!!!!
What value does that little money hold today in Bangalore???He was a well built,tall man with a son of around my age.... Even if we consider the benefits given to these people by the government,the monetary funds being so low is definitely a matter to be reviewed thoroughly.....
Although today's GLUG session was for getting acquainted with a Free and Open Source Content Management Tool-Drupal,i learnt much more than that.... Learning from mistakes,not personal but technical ones push you through a different level where your ability increases....Having made a few mistakes today, i learnt a lot 'technically'....
Instead of yelling at my helplessness like a cry baby, I expect my peers also to make use of such ad hoc opportunities....These teach you the most...
The chances of me forgetting today's session's content is high if i don't pursue it further....But, not the ad hoc solutions learnt from the very friendly guest of today's session... One of my teachers had told me a thing which made a radical impact on the way i perceive learning;he had said-Not knowing is not a mistake,but not trying to learn is a big mistake.... So people, embrace the sudden chances of learning, rather than sitting and waiting for somebody to force something into your head....
It was as expected,a light ambience with no sign of responsibility and a carefree attitude... My once a while visit to the back benches as a refreshment happened today... Jokes,although not very hilarious but the involvement of all the B cubed makes them very funny....Loads of fun within a small duration made me forget that i was sitting in a class.... Class in seminar hall made it much better,i haven't had this amount of fun even in a movie theatre.... Poor faculty member kept on ignoring the nuisance being created by us...Altogether, it was a really nice experience but I'm sure it suits me only once-a- while... B Cubed people, you are cool....
For quite sometime now,I'm having a bug creeping in my head.... I, for long have consciously ignored a particular thought process running in my head.Now, i tend to call it an ambiguous bug putting me in dilemma very often.... Whenever it surfaces up ,it creates a pleasant and vibrant spark in my mind,making me forget its impact on reality...Then, after mellowing a bit from this hallucination I think of the various pros and cons of bringing that into life and ultimately bury it back into the fully alive grave of my mind.... I do this for, if i bring it into total reality, I have a feeling many of the people i don't wanna hurt will be hurt deeply.... So, let this potential bug survive until I get myself a fully functional ICD(Not an In Circuit Debugger,but 'In my Conscience' Debugger)...........
Having a smile on your face always helps you a lot- to cheer up others,and also to lighten up yourself ...But, this is one thing i was really bad at..Even now, you may find me carrying a long face for the smallest or silliest troubles I face...Actually,I am trying to change myself so that i am able to take silly and small mishaps lightly .... The Inspiration being- one of my friends.... This person is one of those rare and gifted ones who can naturally lighten up the moods of people around...An eternal smile on face,augmented with pranking eyes ,and complimented by a light-hearted jovial persona .... I have definitely absorbed a lot of traits and have already been reaping the benefits... Keep it going :)
This is my 100th post on my blog Silence before the Storm on my webpage Ideas_are_immortal. Now,when i read my previous blog posts, i see how much i have grown from there on... I can't believe that few of the posts have emanated from my thought process; few just scare me off, if i try imagining the the mindset i was in while publishing those,and few just remind me of the various intriguing events behind those posts..... Altogether it has been a wonderful journey with you all....So, thanks for your company... In all these posts i have been very honest, trying to reflect whatever i have had in my mind and this has helped me a lot, to see myself as a third person...
And in case, if anybody has been offended by any of the posts,then it was meant to offend you,so no apologies ;)
Will give you all more to chew on.... (And by the way I know John Galt;) )
Doing what you like is so very easy than being forced to do something which you aren't convinced about...After long and torturous time of uneasiness i think i'm geared up to deliver my best with all my efforts... It feels so light and easy to learn new things and do it the way it ought be done.... Now, I realise the importance of always doing what you feel is right....
I have promised myself i wouldn't put myself into a situation ,like i was in a few days ago, ignoring my own reasoning...
Any happening relationship is an exchange of values....Be it friendship or love... If there is no balanced trans-reception of values,then, it is a shallow relation...In such cases you have an evil dancing between the two-"hypocrisy".....That is much worse than even hating each other.... Once you start feeling that you are having to put in substantial amount of efforts hesitantly to keep the spark alive,you've already reached the end of the road. This is a scenario which happens due to the incongruence of personal values of the two involved. And changing atleast one of them would lead to a basic flaw in the way you had imagined each other to be, together....
It hasn't been just a dream...It has always been an instinct which keeps reminding me as to what i am going to accomplish-An enterprise of my own...
It, like all mammoths will start humbly...And when it is there, this will be my logo...
It signifies the pride in myself, a towering level of confidence, a hint of satisfied smile, superficial simplicity and ultimately ,its a metaphor to me....
The only sport i follow whole heartedly is here.... Although my loyalty to Ferrari has declined post Schumi....I still love this sport which is the fusion of technology, adrenaline and trends.... The costliest sporting affair driving technology.... They're here for this season...I'm already there following them..
It has been a bit weird from a few days now....I feel as if i'm hovering over all things around me, not physically but my mind seems to be at a level where noone is...
I have a feeling as if i don't belong to many of the places around here...I seem to be lost in my own world...There is lack of concentration in things i'm doing and lesser concern for others and I seem to be just drifting away from the reality... Not many things seem important, except a few selfish possessions of mine...
Although it hasn't been evident from my behavior, it may soon be noticeable.... But,I'm also trying to see if this is doing good to me or not...If yes, I'll continue with this ,else will retract back....
As if for now, I'm liking this light sensation of hallucination, if you wanna call it so... :)
That was a good question imbibing a hot issue...Wasn't it??? But,He's just trying to grab the attention of political heads by speaking things which even he would disagree with...Futile issues of targeting the Muslim and Sikh population would make him the protagonist in his backing political party's eyes, but not amongst people... Although people in India are divided on 'n' reasons, this attempt to gain attention using religion as a platform is transparent like lens...He is just trying to use his family's reputation....Growing above that reputation and to gain importance would have been like climbing up a steep hill,instead he's chosen the other option-Slide down that hill by going against their convictions... I don't say that he's not supposed to have his own convictions, but his current endorsements seem very artificial.... Lets see whats in store for him (....from us)....
Those of you who know me personally would have sensed the air of lightness i bring about in our interactions(atleast most of the times if not always)... I try to make it a point that this happens most often...I used to do it with some effort initially, nowadays it just flows out of me...
I started thinking about this when i used to feel bored while talking to many of my peers...There would be lengthy dry conversations which i began to repel....It used to be the same even with me...
Then i started adding a tinge of mockery, sarcasm, some not so good humor and a wide variety of subjects to converse about-but it turned out to be a success(another point i'm conscious is of the duration,which i try to reduce without your notice ;)) Although i carry a light persona most of the times ,my work is always done with utmost responsibility and care, and to some extent- seriously...
"So you think that money is the root of all evil?" said Francisco.
"Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?
"Have you ever looked for the root of production? Take a look at an electric generator and dare tell yourself that it was created by the muscular effort of unthinking brutes. Try to grow a seed of wheat without the knowledge left to you by men who had to discover it for the first time. Try to obtain your food by means of nothing but physical motions-and you'll learn that man's mind is the root of all the goods produced and of all the wealth that has ever existed on earth.
"To trade by means of money is the code of the men of good will. Money rests on the axiom that every man is the owner of his mind and his effort. Money permits no deals except those to mutual benefit by the unforced judgment of the traders.
"Money demands that you sell, not your weakness to men's stupidity, but your talent to their reason; it demands that you buy, not the shoddiest they offer, but the best that your money can find. And when men live by trade-with reason, not force, as their final arbiter-it is the best product that wins, the best performance, the man of best judgement and highest ability-and the degree of a man's productiveness is the degree of his reward. This is the code of existence whose tool and symbol is money. Is this what you consider evil?
Is it really necessary we love all our fellow human beings??? By asking such a question i'm not implying that we should hate them. Can we not just stay inert about everyone else except the ones we love and care about...I feel it isn't a matter of shame or guilt if you are not able to embrace all your fellow beings as the world would want you to.. "Love your neighbor, as you love yourself", is an absurd statement.... No normal human can treat someone else equal to himself..You can't treat everyone the way you treat your loved ones...It is a personal and selfish feeling which cannot be shared with everyone... By reading these above beliefs of mine,don't presume me to be an anti social creature...I just say that we cannot love everyone seamlessly, but we can very well make a choice of hating none... Thats my policy, derived obviously from Ayn Rand,whom i admire so much....
Everyone knew what kind of a relation we shared... You were almost the equal half of me.... You chased away my loneliness whenever i sought your company... You had acquired my traits after sharing your life with me for atleast 18 months. You were always the first with whom i'd share my brainstorms.... You were the mediator between me and the rest of them.... You have been with me for every joy and the very few sorrows of mine.... You even shared my interests, be it AR or Angie.... You were a footprint of my personality... I know you remember too,that we met first on my Bday in 2007..... Now,when forcefully you have been separated from me.... I realise how much i miss you.... May the cause which separated us feel a pain, although it won't be more than what we feel now.... You hold all my memories,.....Now i have only yours.... I shall definitely do what you will want me to do- 'If you are not mine, You shall not be anyone else's either....' ---To my cell (It wasn't only a cell,it was an organ of my body and mind)-Nokia3110 which was robbed off me today...
Bidding you a heartfelt goodbye..... With love- Maverick
We, the male population owe a lot to the other complementary population in the society....For they are the ones who facilitate us do whatever we aspire to do, by playing all essential roles in our life.... I personally attribute whatever little I am till now, and whatever I aspire to become to- my mother....She has done more than i'll be able to express it in words....Seeing her i know what women are capable of.... Further, I personally have derived inspiration, motivation and instigation to better myself from many of the ladies i interact with....A special thanks to you all.... :) A lot of respect,a bit more admiration and a true sense of gratitude is what i am offering you all women on this Women's day..... We know that the world is still moving because of you and because of the support and care you bestow on us.... So,keep the world moving by playing all your vital roles....
I've been recently getting a lot of compliments from all sectors of society i interact with, about my show off of energy.... But, i think its all in the mind....Recent activities of mine have required passionate efforts....When efforts are put in with passion, the energy flows naturally, continually and serenely like the lava out of Mount Etna in Italy..... It feels good when you do things you like to do....The pleasure you get in such a case is unparalleled....You feel no strain, no pain, no fatigue...just work and finally a sense of accomplishment....This appears as an inner radiance, which few of you have called it 'I've never seen you this happy before!!!'......
Sphagetti Nepolitan, Lagna Florintine, Sphagetti Burmese,Mushroom Saute......and lots more were on our dinner table....Curious after reading their description, each one of us decided to try out a new continental dish at Woodlands....Courtesy- Satyabama University ;) We are having a nice gala time here-good food,little work, meticulously care taken hospitality....We feel good.... Shouldn't we??? For we are their guests and we are being treated as Gods..... :)Anyways, we have done our part to the best....interacting with their faculty and students to whatever extent is appropriate and necessary.... We are leaving tonight,after catering to few more important committents ...
Last time you might remember the atrocity which i complained about our stay in Satyabama...This time, they've mellowed....We were put to stay in Woodlands with a Tavera taking rounds around Chennai.... :) Then we did what we came to do....A Special addressing to the team of students and teachers of Satyabama to help them out in configuring their satellite....They have been treating us really well.... The 40 mins seminar talk which i gave, went on well.Everyone was listening patiently, it had a tinge of my signature sarcasm and humor. -;) Then we had an extensive questionnaire, in which i almost dozed off.....Ultimately, with a corner full of pity to their team we've genuinely tried to help them out.... About our stay here.......So far Soooooooo good........
I'm posting it now, but i typed it at 2 in the morning today.... We started at night 11 and.......I don't remember anything but slowly drifting into deep sleep. Random and unusual thoughts had been flashing in my mind. I remember them vaguely ,they were something very different.... I donno as to why, but i tend to call these thoughts unprecedented and hallucinatory of small durations and of varied ideas....I can't remember anything concrete to explain them further.... This was like the first time i remember my uncontrolled impulses of random thoughts.....It was really different.....
Yeah......We were participants last time we went...This time Satyabama University has invited us to address a group of their students about our project...We will be giving a Guest Lecture kind of a thing.... Of the five going,i'm one...Probably i'll be giving the seminar talk..... I missed a few things about Satyabama last time i went....I hope to capture those things this time..... Lets see whats in store -;) We are leaving tonight, will get back on Wednesday....I'll try to be in touch with you, even from there....
After almost 6 years we see each other...Initially everyone is hesitant to talk freely with each other...We had been away from each other since school and during the mental metamorphic phases of our lives.Now, we all did feel a bit uneasy to open our minds and to exchange our feelings. But, all of it lasted only for i'd say some ten minutes... At the end of it, we realised we hadn't changed relative to each other.All of us had grown to another level simultaneously, still feeling the way we did when we were in school... The teachers who spoke so sweetly about us were more sweeter than their words..Many incidents started flashing in our minds, few funny, few embarrassing and few personal.... Not all our friends could make it,but it was sufficient to churn out the underlying memories... The most reminiscent thing which happened to me was, the attendance list of my class.It was kept to see which of us had come...I read through all the names and it was a great feeling, mixture of longing for all of them and joy of now meeting a few of them.....
The India Quiz.........I'll never forget this event my entire life....It turned out to be unbelievably successful,the response- just overwhelming, the affection- heart warming, the admiration-tightened the rope of responsibility :) Thanks to all of you who were a part of it..... Special thanks to the very able and talented friends who made it possible(They are in the pic with me).... The amount of passionate efforts put in duly paid off..... The air of euphoria amongst the participants, the number in which you turned out(I had 85 teams!!!!!) was just incredible..... Finally, thanks to Kattimani Sir for paving the path to the show.....
According to me, the most creative lines ever written in a song which i believe to be the zenith of imagination are by Bryan Adams in his song-Have you ever really loved a woman...
To really love a woman Let her hold you - til you know how she needs to be touched You've gotta breathe her - really taste her Til you can feel her in your blood N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes You know you really love a woman
This picture says it all....First time but with a double treat... I don't consider these Oscars to A R as his achievement for Slumdog....These are his Early Life Time Achievement awards... The world will start following up AR's musical journey and realize how ignorant they had been,for having not recognised AR much earlier.... Each and every molecule of those awards deserves to you AR....Congrats... As a tribute to you, I'm dedicating you my next event-The India Quiz..... :)
My brainchild of 8 months-The India Quiz,is being brought into life next Friday on the 27th of February...It has been on my mind ever since i finished my last quiz..... After initial hurdles, which have gone past at the speed of light,now i see a clear picture of it coming into life.... I discovered a vibrant peck of energy for helping me in organizing it, he is doing his part in the best way....And with another new talent( as far as i'm concerned) is also on board for hosting the quiz with me..... I hope it'll get a better response than my first and the very successful quiz-Test Your Common Science.....
Suddenly from a few days,and after a long time, a particular short but eventful period of my life which was buried in my mind is surfacing incessantly.
It was one of those times, which has made a huge impact on me.It made me better and stronger.....Although, I got better, there were few events which occured I'd rather not think about again...I had to bury it by putting in a lot of effort...
I attribute a new 'me',whom most of you know, to be to the transformations i underwent then....I hadn't been what I am today before atleast three years...
I'm scared now, for everything around me seems to be reminding me of those days....Not because I'll be hurt by it or any such thing.....But i don't want to be drawn onto that track again....For now, I feel that I am very vulnerable in doing so....
But, I'm trying my best not to let it happen.....I think i'll come out successful in this test of reminiscence.....
Introspection has been at its peak after many influential encounters. My career path is one thing i'm really thinking of right now. I could easily realise that i wasn't made for making software. From there on,i've been trying to reinvent myself as a core electronics guy.Even though i'm good at it,i realise i can perform some other tasks in a much better manner. It has been evident with my recent ventures, that i am more efficient( and happier....) in doing creative pieces of work,be it arranging a quiz or organizing any event on a substantial scale or hosting events.
I am good in front of a comp trying to code, I'm better when it comes to interpreting and realizing electronics, I'm at my best when given a stage or a dais......
I'd conclude that my technical creativity is not at par with my otherwise creativity.
(I have spoken about my creativity here, and not about the dedication or commitment to any of the tasks undertaken by me,which are always at zenith....)
Although i had been tolerating these people belonging to an antagonizing group of humans,they crossed the limits.....
You can counter 'Logic and reason' by a superior level of the same.... What is to be done if you are to counter an attack of futility instigated by purposeless use of power!!! I was rendered helpless, infuriated, desperate to retaliate.... I, after a long time was furious. I could feel the sudden and strong surge of hot blood to my head....Unable to stand in that situation...My teeth grinding against each other, making me really angry....There isn't an efficient way to counter such people,who are unfortunately at a high position(definitely which they are not worth of)....
Another kind are the leeches or the parasites depicted in Ayn Rand's works...The parasites who feed on your ideas...They seem to be in an illusion that my idea is it their right...They don't even acknowledge that they are the flag bearers of Plagiarism....I had to show them their own color, although not in a pleasant manner....
I don't understand how people of these two and many other ugly facets of humans stay with even themselves....I'd hate myself to the core,if i were belonging to any of those herds......
I can't categorise myself as an atheist or a believer.........I do believe in a fictitious supreme spirit which is necessary for my mind to remain motivated and to borrow strength from. I know it is just deriving energy from myself, but through an indirect belief...I, like many others feel it necessary... Further,I don't believe in idol worship. I'm a devotee of only a saint after whom i've been named...Although i participate in all rituals conducted at home, not because any of those makes sufficient sense...Its only for my mom's sake... I believe that we have made God as an answer to all our Obscurities....We attribute all unexplainable events to God...A common notion implied to God in all religions by us is to attribute our helplessness, our ignorance, our suffering, sometimes an undeserved success also to God... I don't believe that God is light and ignorance is dark...I believe that ignorance is a state of mind when we are close to God....Reason is the tool we have evolved to possess and drift away from ignorance or God... If there were a God, he also would want us do the same...Follow the path of reason, even if his own recognition between us would diminish...
So finally the final semester of my B.E is here. I'm not sure how far i have been transformed into an engineer who can defy nature and make world a better place( only in a human perspective). The past 3 and a half years have been-as the cliche goes 'a roller coaster ride'. I would attribute these years as the ones to have influenced my personality the most till this point of time.
I read this statement in a newspaper. I felt that the second half to be absolutely relevant to all the absurd and atrocious demonstrations of the so called 'moral policing'.
I believe it is the immediate consequence of narrow mindedness and manifestation of absurd,ridiculous,stupid logic. The justifications given to these indecent acts of policing are paradoxic to what it ideally is to be.
On the first hand, we do not require police to monitor our morales and behavior,whereas ironically there is acute shortage of the actual police to inhibit these acts of idiocracy.Each and every incident like the Mangalore pub one,are the reminders of how crude our society thinks. I say that because not everyone is against these criminals. These self proclaimed policemen have support starting from the government to our fellow citizens.
Now when an evil without form such as this is creating havoc,what is that we can do except to complain!
The problem is the loophole in our administration,legislation and the security. For,the government has share holders in its majority from these sections,the laws passed intentionally are left flawed so that they are acquitted as it happened yesterday,there is no immediate action taken by the police.
We need to stand together for we can't allow our freedom to be lost again,this time to ignorance and acts guided by blind arrogance and not by reason.
