DON

After Dil Chahta Hai and Lakshya, Farhan Akhtar’s remake of the 1970s hit Don is set to release this week. While the original version featured superstar of the day Amitabh Bachchan, remake has the one and only King Khan Shahrukh in the central roles. The film was written by Farhan’s father Javed Akhtar with his partner and Salman Khan’s father - Salim Khan.

The craftsman Akhtar says it’s for sure that the new age ‘Don’ is going to be one hell lot of a roller coaster ride! Priyanka Chopra, who has been getting the best of the projects launched this year got this one too in her kitty and did the Zeenat Aman act.The promos are very stylish and exciting. The film is bound to generate comparisons and judgments.

I saw its trailer and its awesome. I am waiting for this movie.

India WinZ>>>

Well Finally India defeated Pakistan in India after 24 years I think. The series ended 3-2 for India. I guess it was mainly because the Pakistan side was weaker one in this tournament. Once again Sachin missed his century and this time by three runs. Last time he missed it by one run. This is the 6th time he missed his century in this year alone. Total number of times he got out in 90s moves now to 16!!! Its the highest number of times. The second highest is 9 times. Well Sachin is indeed creating records in everything. He by this time was supposed to have 48 centuries or so. Well I guess Sachin likes getting out in 90s. His shot that gave his wicket to Pakistan when he was in 97 was not the shot that a player usually plays when he is in 90s. I guess he was desperate to score the century and thats why he went for that shot. He could have left that delivery. Well India should think of surviving in Australia when they play against them in Australia. Already they are punishing Sri Lanka with everything they can. The new opener for Australia PA Jaques is doing the job of Langer. Lets see if India can win there.

F1 RACE!!!

Kenneth pointed out the Force India F1 Team website in a Twitter update so I decided to check it out.

The page loads with a rather dull intro and the actual page is decent looking. Nothing fancy. The tricolour animation on the menus was a bit silly.

Force India F1 Team


Even though the team is going to flop badly in the next season (all new teams do) it is still nice to see India competing in such an expensive international sporting event. The only other team to have the name of a country in its name is BAR (British American Racing). Now we have a home team to cheer, even though the only things Indian about the team are its owner and its name.

DSP!!!

DSP. Also known as the Degree Stopping Paper (since you just can’t pass the damn thing).

I had such a hard time studying for it. It was a vile mixture of filters and signals and functions with formulae thrown in here and there to make the whole thing more painful. See Vinod’s post here. It was literally painful studying for the subject. I was sitting with the book open well past midnight unable to concentrate for even two minutes on the subject.

So not worth it, man.

Bastards.

What possible use could I have for DSP? I will never use it in my life. My career is not going to suddenly require a knowledge of signal processing. I’m in the computer science stream for a reason. To learn about computers and software engineering processes. Not electronics. If I wanted to learn electronics I would have taken ECE or EEE!

I only fear that he will be considered less evil than Bush.

Speaking of Bush… saw this on you tube yesterday. An interview with a dead terrorist.
Damn good.

Sony W810i

My old cell Nokia 1100 (more than one million of it were sold and its still being used by many around the world) had some problem. I was unable to talk for more than 15 or 20 minutes whenever I used to get calls from someone even when the battery charge was full. After 20 minutes it shows battery low. So I decided to change the cell. My brother was telling about buying motorola razr for a long time. But I insisted him to go for this model because I knew that he will give the cell after few months to me as this happens usually. So I went through some models and finally decided to go for Sony W810i. Its really a nice model with cool features. I have to download games and some themes for it. I am checking its features. Its not that difficult while typing message in Sony. Just one problem compared to Nokia 1100 is that its taking a bit more time as the keys are very near to each other. Camera is nice and the interface is good. Well I guess i wont use it for sometime. My bro gave me on the very first day. Then he said he’ll use it for few weeks or months and will give me later. :)

International Students’ Day

It seems today is International Students’ Day. I never knew this ;) . I was just going through wikipedia just a while ago and I came across this. But it seems some universities celebrate it some other day because of some political reason. I don’t know whether Anna University celebrates it. I am sure our college wont celebrate it ever in future also. I’ll be surprised if our college celebrate even a small function where students can enjoy for a while.
