Yet another Valentine's!

The chill's still in the air and the whole world is dancing to the immortal and frangrant air of love. The air feels different...along with the warm winds fighting to get in and the last remains of chill trying their best to survive,there is yet another element which gives the X-factor-love! Yes love is unexplained coz it needs no explaination,love just happens coz there is no need for it to justify... yes,it is love!

Everyone rejoicing their love and here is a person sitting and wondering what is so special about this day.Do you need a special day for celebrating your love. Love is eternal-a bliss.Do you need a day to remind or celebrate it?Being in love and loving in itself is the biggest celebration of love. Still then we celebrate love on a particular day-not ruling out the fact that we love each day and thus are celebrating it anyways.

Today after logging into gtalk, I saw a variety of status messages from different ppl.Some include-

1. sirf tanhaiyan hain...(Obviously loved and lost and still repenting-a species not to be discussed)
2. I love the one you know who!!! (Couldnt make out what was it all about)
3. No valentines day at NITRkl...Bharat ki sanskriti kharab kar di hain...(Commented later)
4. There are thousands of feelings that can be expressed in thousands of words and few which cannot be expressed in thousands of words...(Bad vocabulary I'll say!)
5. V-day...dihave pe mat jao apni akal lagao(What's this?)
6. For all those who are single....Happy Independence day!(This was the status msg of the most popular guy of the collg-so no comments!)

I spent quite a time wondering about the "sanskriti" wala status msg. Is that true? Is being in love not in our culture or sanskriti. Does our sanskriti forbid us from loving others. Well I am one of those ppl who beleive that culture is culture.No culture is bad or good-those are just two culture. People talk of "American culture" which I dont like. Just coz you have your own culture that doesnt mean that you have got a license to speak bad about other cultures. I just pity upon the choti soch of Shiv Sena and Bajrang Dal who have no work other that troubling people...why cant they mind their own business... Should we conclude that our culture forbids us to love or forbids us from celebratinng love? None of these seem apt to me...

Anyways Valentines in the air and I wish a Happy Valentine's Day to all of you. And as I log off and get along with studies, I write this status msg on gtalk-

"All our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope. All the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect who might be searching for us. "

The incredibly strong and "crap" firewall...

Cyberoam-our insti firewall which monitors all our activities on net whether be it from the college or the hostel. It restricts everything-you name it. It not only monitors how many hours we use the net per week-fucks you if you use more than 30 hours a week-but also blocks nearly 75% of the websites on the web. No not only social networking websites like orkut or websites with objectionable contents but also rapid share or and P2P.

I can understand that P2P can be used for cyber crime but then blocking it means you are not allowed to download ebooks which are either not easily available or else too costly for any student to buy but easily available. i dont know whether the ebooks from rapidshare are legal or not but does it make any difference if we are using that for learning-I mean who doesnt. Cyber crime in India is so prevailing and open that it is almost impossible to curb it.Just look at this- how many of home users have a registered version of Windows?

Today I was trying to download a Data Structure book on Java...so that I can finally study Data Structures...though we had the subject last sem,the prof was crap and we didnt learn anything-we expect one or two people who were sincere enough! But to my surprise and quite to my annoyance I was forbidden to do so.I always thought that an institute is a place where student advancement is placed before everything else but here the processes being in their right place is paid more attention.If I start writing about the non-desirable things that happen here to curb students' enthu then probably I will eat away all the space available on the Web.

I just hope that someone from the administration sees this post and makes necessary and ofcourse desirable changes to the existing firewall-I dont know but I may be rustricated if someone's reads this and oh yeah!punsihing students for little reasons is not alien to our insti...

Till it gets fixed,rock on guys...the insti itself doent want we should study so what's the fuck if we dont?
