I still feel nostalgic when i pass through the by lanes of Malleshwaram! I miss my school and my teachers who are the sole sculptors of my career today... They made my life, they taught me life... i will cherish these memories for a lifetime...
The best thing they taught me was"May our learning be illuminative"

All members of the Garage!I recently found my Quake III installation CD ROM while cleaning up and organizing the huge pile of CD ROMs in my room! Suddenly I was hit by a nostalgic feeling of missing all the fun me and my friends used to have in college lab while playing Death matches and CTF(Capture the flag) missions in Quake III when we were in our final semester of Engineering!
The game play used to go on for hours! We used to take small 5 second breaks by either by pressing Alt+Tab or by turning off the monitors when the lab managers/instructors or even our lecturers came around!
Best of such situations, One fine day, we were playing Quake in the laboratory in the last row of computers, me along with 3 of my friends 2 per team. The whole lab was vacant. We were half way through the game and suddenly the Head of our Department showed up in the laboratory and headed towards us! All of us managed to somehow switch off the monitors before he came to the last row! He had a doubtful expression like what we did in the last row when the whole lab was vacant! For our lucky fortune, each of us had a pile of documents related to the projects we were doing and we reasoned out that we were sitting together and discussing about the implementation of the project since the lab was vacant ;)
Then came along like bullets, a series of questions related to the project! All my friends looked at me with a scared expression on their faces and they all relaxed and smiled when I answered those questions at the same pace not giving him a moment to doubt, for we still had quake running on the systems with only monitors turned off! Finally, he probably felt our reasons and my answers were reasonable, he wished us all the best in achieving the goal we set for ourselves on the project and left the place.
We were very fortunate not to have speakers on any of the systems in the lab, else we would have been probably thrown out of lab and the lab manager would have checked upon us every time we were in the lab!
Everything rolled over my thoughts in a moment! College days were the last when i played Quake death matches and Need For Speed races! We even used to have contests in the college fest for these games!
The last contest in which I played, we had Quake with the Afterwards 2 mod. Afterwards mod is the best Quake mod I have played till date! We generally used to play for a limit of 100 frags with over 12 people running around the Arena! We had sometimes even played for 200 frags!
Quake has been the most addictive gave I have played ever! I was fully into gaming till i was in college and have played all sorts of computer games, the very first game I was hooked onto was Wolfenstein 3D which is probably the great grandfather of Quake, and one of the best FPS games of its time! I was so addicted to the game that at a point of time, I had around 80 mods of Wolfenstein! Some other games which were of my interest are Roadrash, Need For Speed and the whole of the Age of Empires series!
Now I wonder if I will ever play Quake 3 death matches with my same gang of friends over a network! I guess dream is finally turning into reality as one of my friends is setting up a computer training center and I have suggested him a Quake death match challenge between us friends for the inauguration ceremony of the center! ;)
Frag 'em!
When fiddling around with wikipedia recently, i got to an article accidentally which defined why Java sucks inspite of being the best. The article written by Jamie Zawinski can be found here.
Since it has an awesome explanation of the fact that java has it's own drawbacks and limitations, i had to rethink on those and conclude the same even though i was/am/will continue to be an avid Java fanatic.
Feel free to jot down your thoughts as comments...
Finally something's here which deserves to be called the best digicam you would have ever seen... Despite being weighted at around 3 kilograms, the Seitz D3 digital camera and Seitz 6x17 panorama camera rock! It has a 640 x 480 color display!
Check this out here fellas... it rocks!
A sample pic taken in this dream is given below...
I took these snaps also along with the ones showing my other Trophy.
The silver background in the snap below is actually my Philips DVD Player!
The snap below again shows the same trophy with a new stage ;) The red background is a Hardbound notebook in which i write the notes for my Carnatic Vocal classes ;)
I like the shadow casted by the Trophy on the red background :), looks cool!
PS : Sorry but i have smudged the name of the company for obvious reasons ;)
A couple of days back, i finally somehow made myself free for some time and took a snap of my Trophy, which i recieved for "Excellence in Execution of Work" from my company.
By the way, this is the very first snap for which i did some stage setup for the subject of the photograph ;)
If you could not read what's written on the base of the trophy, check this...

In the end of all the official talks for the evening, we played a wacky movie which we filmed at office with lot of effort... It had some concept related to international peace! I played the role of the "National Security Adviser" in the movie ;)
The movie was a good hit among the crowd, and got accolades from all the audience... After this, we had lunch at the resort's dining hall called *Ettukettu*(In malayalam it means a house with two courtyards...)
It was a tiresome day due to the journey, and more due to sitting for a couple of hours at the conference hall so headed back to the room and hit the sack! and did not open eyes till the next morning ;)
Some stills from the movie:
As i wrote in my previous post when i come back from Kumarakom, i will be writing the experience in a series of posts. I couldn't write the posts throughout the week since i was a lil busy with work at office...
Relaxing...
