BT Grapes and artificially induced sourness.......

A small scoop of a past chat...

K:What the hell?? M: I do not mean to insinuate anything against him,
M: but the only way they know you have done anything at all, is what you tell on your r****e and S**(in caps!)solving an assignment problem can magically transmogrify into 'Designed a logic circuit for use in high-temperature furnace controllers as part of a term project'
K: aah
but isn't tat faking
M: its never a step function its always a gradient

So, what's legal and what's not? What if I just get hold of a couple of reports and engrave (or rather get a calligrapher to do it) my name on them? Would I be better placed? Alas! I know not any faking! The maximum extent I could ever go is push my standing in the class rankings a couple of places. And any of these rankings aren't even official for none is bothered of any number more than 5 (whooh! 5 is indeed a large number) Maybe, and just maybe, I'll turn a better faker next time. Till then, the rest of the world can have my grapes!

Update 1: Well! Even people who ask questions like "Is PhD allowed after MEE" get into the best of the universities. And yet my grapes show no signs of ripening nor sweetness. Damn!

And by the way, whatever happened to this wonderful social networking site called Orkut?? Till date, know for its simplicity and googleness (its a good adjective already!) suddenly decided to throw in n! number of apps. So while we had newbies scrapping in their own scrapbook "Hi, how are you" or often coming across a testimonial stating "Haven't seen you for long" (is that supposed to be a complement??), we are now being bombarded with projectiles of rotten tomatoes Mr X throws at Ms Y (and thats supposed to be yuck! as orkut states), updates of X being confused, Z being happy and R being tired, people buzzing at the unearthliest of times, 2am in the morning (what the heck?) In its eternal competition with Facebook, orkut is turning out more to be a lazy man's paradise. Well almost! for some lazy men still write blogs about what the rest do!

wonderful social networking site?? I wonder whats so wonderful. But you've got to agree that competition drives the whole world around. You can see how things are changing, lets say cricket, its no more a gentleman's game. On your face garish advertisements, cut throat competition(not yet) and millions of dollars from corporates. Its the same everywhere, only the name changes.
We can't do much but complain and write blogs.. :) :D

It was indeed wonderful in the beginning, you could get in touch with people you'd lost long ago, but not anymore...now its more of a circus...

As with the cricket, Rahul Dravid's comment that 20-20 is bikini cricket is apt :D
