I have started a new blog, http://psdiary.wordpress.com/ for writing down a complete experience of my Practice School this summer, basically the internship at M-Tech Innovations.
So, for the most part, I will be posting over there the next month, and I will be posting very frequently. That blog is a diary, and I will be making daily entries.
Enjoy!
PS: Content out there might not be as random as this, as it is dedicated to my internship at M-Tech Innovations.
Life:
Since I have been a kid, my parents have told me that I am a Hindu by religion. So, I just checked up what life means to a Hindu [cited from Wikipedia]
The purusharthas are the canonical four ends or aims of human life. These goals are, from lowest to highest importance:
- Kāma (sensual pleasure or love)
- Artha (wealth)
- Dharma (righteousness or morality)
- Moksha (liberation from the cycle of reincarnation)
My aims in life, although not clearly defined, are not close to what this reads like when you read it for the first time. If I were told to write what I feel the meaning of life is, I would write something more like this:
It is something that we understand when it is over, which then has lost all of its relevance.
Now, I sometimes do also feel that it is the time we spend in Death’s waiting room, and just like any other waiting room, its upto us to make ourselves enjoy our stay. Whether that means talking to someone else in that room, reading a magazine, a newspaper, listening to music or thinking what will happen once the wait is over, is totally upto us.
Most people who know me, that is who read this blog, know that I am incapable of thinking so deep, and that I am a very shallow person. So for them:
Basically life means nothing but accomplishment for me. This need not be materialistic or even something I can talk about. It can be as simple as feeling nice about doing something stupid.
The Universe:
The broadest definition of the universe is found in De divisione naturae by the medieval philosopher Johannes Scotus Eriugena, who defined it as simply everything: everything that exists and everything that does not exist. Time is not considered in Eriugena’s definition; thus, his definition includes everything that exists, has existed and will exist, as well as everything that does not exist, has never existed and will never exist.

So now two things in my title are merging to one? Weird eh?
Even I did not expect this to happen. I thought the Universe had something else as a meaning than everything. Everything is just plain everything. A bit disappointing yes, but its cool. I guess we all can live with the fact that the title to this post is a bit misleading. Well, for me the Universe does not really mean all this, and for me, the two things are different, so I have kept them separate in the title.
The Universe is the set of all things that I know, be it living or non-living. The Universe happens to be a huge set. So I normally work with a set called “Friends” for saving memory in my head.[*non-living things can be friends]
Everything is fortunately simple enough, even in my life, it still means every darned thing.
Before I forget, I should complete the formalities and wish anyone who is reading a warm and wonderfully happy New Year. May you all enjoy 2008 to the fullest. Resolution Ideas for all readers:

Ever had the feeling that you have absolutely no time left in your life for yourself, and yet got the feeling of joblessness at the same time?
That is the way I am feeling these days. People tell me that I am lost, and do not pay attention to what is happening around me. They tell me, that I am not keeping track of my life socially. None of my friends back home know whether even I am alive. People blame me of neglecting them, and suggest that I should take some time off for myself in life. They say I should take a break, take it a bit easily.
I feel like I have reached a completely new level when it comes to joblessness. I am getting a “I am useless in society” feeling. There is nothing to do. All I do is sleep, eat, and spend nights at my computer playing/reading/writing. I get this feeling of emptiness inside me. I have a thirst of doing some work, whatever it might be.
This is a very confusing situation I have gotten myself into. As I get more absorbed into the semester, my parents remind me to drop by sometime. Looking at the calendar, I realize that even that is not possible. What am I doing in life?? Currently, well

Apart from that, I have no idea. I have become a confused timeless jobless person.
Its been a long long time since I have written anything here, it almost seemed like the place was dusty… but then looking at the blog stats, I realized that I do get a decent 3 hits per day average, which is amazing considering the fact that the last post written on this blog is dated back in July. I am not sure what brought me here, back to write a post, some of the possible reasons are:
I would give a bit more weight to the second reason, owing to the fact that the song is clear evidence (:D). On brighter side of things, nothing exceptional happening in my life since July up to today. The only thing I can be proud of is the linux users’ group that I started off in campus.
This is the mailing list of the group. I know that the fact that the mailing list is a Google Group is an insult to the concept of LUG, but then that was not a decision I took, or was informed of before it was taken.
This is the way I pass my time, except for excessive doses of World of Warcraft :D. So now that I have actually overcome the initial inertia of blogging, I hope that I will continue to blog this time around, without any huge gaps in posts. The only problem is that well, my college likes me so much that they think I should study, and so they do NOT allow me internet access at random times, which is a very good thing according to me :P.
When I was in school, I always used to think that the school should be giving longer holidays, so that I can enjoy in the holiday time. Since I have started college, that feeling has vaporized, and I can’t put my finger on exactly why this has happened. As an example, my current holiday is so long, this is all that happened in it upto now:
and I am still here on vacation. Although this might seem boastful or something, trust me, it has been more like mental torture to be ripped away from daily life for so long. Believe me, I still have one more month of holidays to go.
I have tried to invent ways to spend time. Some attempts at that have been:
But somehow, I still have this empty feeling with me, since the time I have come home. I dunno what I do in college is so time taking, that I am still feeling jobless out here. Maybe it is that I do not do work with the same dedication level at home and at college. Or maybe I should attend college more, so that I learn to value holidays better…
