I was toying around with some Winamp skins and I came across this sorta spyish thingy color. The best part is the aqua [modified] on black. It just looks sexy! I am trying to make such a theme for my mob as well. So, welcome to the new look of Ramblings of an Eccentric Soul... The best part??? Well, it's just about half an hour's work =)!

Long long time and here I am back to typing something into my webbie! Well, it's not that I didn't want to, but it was 1- had work, and 2- SISL had kinda blocked my site again. However, it gave me quite some opportunity to harness some talents that I thought I never had! I am talking about sketching! I mean I thought I sucked at drawing, and just check this out.... :)!

Then I tossed and turned in bed until about 2:30am and then thought that I had to expend my energy into something and well this is what turned out! :D! Hope ya enjoy it!

Why? For one, how about this, I find that something creative, especially a humorous quote/meaningful/touching statement, MUST be repeated [A harsh word against "Golden words are said once, BS]. Beauty needs to be appreciated, yeah I have already written about it. So, well here are some of my favorite ones - they are NOT categorized as depending on the context, I use one or more of them, and well some including in my signatures :)!

Feels good to finally type in something. Am at the Siemens library and am finally checking my mail after about a week or more. The weirdest thing about Siemens net access - blocked by Websense [what?]. My site cannot be accessed unless I use a 60 minute quota time where in it opens sessions of 10 minutes so that I can type. It's blocked essentially for the reason that i can't access Webhosting sites as I may be able to copy data on to the web - and SISL has a lotta data to be protected.

The place that I was brought to after being born in N. Parur [near Ernakulam]! I will definitely miss this place. I have had a taste of big cities, and well honestly, other than the hang out joints, the cool places, the stuff you get and the well places you get to see, I generally am NOT a person who likes cities adorned with people.

I hate being a cynic, and attribute a lot of it to how I lead my life now. No one in my family is like that! I mean, they are generally cynics, they can't take life to be FUN and cannot frolic and all. They aren't that BAD as the previous line might make you interpret, but well, they aren't the hep hip Life's all Bubbly fun either. I knew this completely!

I am done with rains for this season! The wonderful pitter patter sound [which unfortunately comes only when u actually listen FOR it] has lost its charm. Now it's only the mundane evaporation-condensation cycle playing its monotonous, boring efforts.

Never in my life have I written a story before, esp with dialogues although I devour one after the other. Anyway, the more I read these "stories", the more that I felt that the web can always do with some more humor, as most of these stories involve quite a stretch of emotion and sentiments. Humor, altho subtle, kinda completely evaporates off the scene, even if it were intended.

I am amazed at how I have fared through it through the 21 years of my life. It has had everything. Ups, downs, plains, meanders, oasises, what not? It was a mild introspection that led me to the conclusion that I am absolutely, undoubtedly happy with my life. Contented to live it the way it is? The answer to that is NO. I have never wanted to live my life any particular way, and that is part of the reason why I am so damn happy that I have tried most that life has to give.

A briefer into what me and Gautam usually sing: Iron Maiden, Metallica [often ends up in a medley, with me playing the song in my mind and waiting for the drums and guitar and Gautam crusading along :D]. So, then one day I remember she asking us as to what do _we_ think is a romantic song?

A Metal truck? But aren't those already there with a lot of wood? No, I am talking about a Rock Show aboard a truck! Well, it hit Shanghumugham Beach, here in TVM on the night of the 1st of May. No, it has nothing to do with the May Day, well maybe it did, coz I saw a commie flag aboard it. But, bah humbug, who cares about the flag when you see some cool rockers, playing heavy covers like Can I Dance with Madness [Maiden]. The band callin themselves "Rage" really set the stage on fire.

Unlike other things in life, time has not rubbed its monotonous paw over "learning". Well, I think possibly that is one of the reasons we move on, strive, and hopefully in the end thrive.

A reality check just hit me, and made me take stock of my life today - it was the last day of regular classes for my undergraduate studies. It's all over. Now all that remain are a string of internal and external evaluations to get me the glorious degree. It was a pretty fun day today. Probably the most FUN day in the whole of B.Tech - I met EVERYONE today in class and said my Buh Byes [altho I will be seeing all on Monday, when we have to take the impending doom, termed "series exams" - session 2].

It is the perfect recluse from the hot humid days. And all it speaks of is - laziness, lethargy, snuggling close to your someone in bed [or for the (un)lucky ones like me, with my blanket]. Add to it a nice book, and incessant sips of coffee, with the fans at _full blast_, life's a bliss. I am more the cold weather liker than the hot weather liker.

Easily the most charismatic professional wrestler I know of. Hell, I have been completely adulating him for some time. Everything about him has this amazing "F *.*" attitude. Be it his trash talks [altho these days John Cena is taking that track, and doing it pretty well also], his finishing move - the Stunner, or his beer guzzling antics in the ring.

Been waiting for it quite some time. Star Wars III : Revenge of the Sith I have been quite fascinated by the Star Wars Saga. Although it's the typical "A New Hope" story. But, the complex, cohesive universe setting with some beautiful characters make this quite a beautiful movie series [save for Attack of the Clones]. I even managed to read the script/dialogues version of "The Phantom Menace". I should say that Lucas was indeed going somewhere with that.

But, what to do, I kinda realized thatdespite me likingit or not, MySQL is a powerful tool.So, I will hopefully be spendingsome time on that tohelp me manage my site. So far, the hols have been nothing great...

I have completed the quota for this sem. Now what?? A single day into the hols has been aterrible experience so far. I am BORED beyond comprehension. I cannot even force myself to think and get started on something. Is this what happens after the xams??There is no denying that the xams create a void after theirdeparture, at least for me. It keeps you busy while it lasts. You would be exercising your mind continuously, if not studying, at least fretting about the xams....Your mind is being continously used.Today I dunno if it was due to nothing to http://members.lycos.co.uk/gurupanguji/comment.php?blogstamp=2003-12-16%2000:00:00 renganathan@gmail.com (Renganathan Ramamoorthy) Mon, 16 Dec 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Wow, I am really impressed with myself.. well that happens most of the time I decide to do something. hahaIt feels really nice not to upload documents anymore as I can easily addblogs thru the net now. yay!

So, I decided to start working of "Blog It!! V0.1" a PHP script that will help me blog by just adding contents into a form via thenet/house server. So, wish me luck and in 2-3 days, I should be able todo it! Anyhoo,I am going to stop bloggin at Tripod coz it sucks.... and itis way too complicated to actually go to Tripod, and hope thattheir server is not overloaded to blog!! haha. So, in 2-3 days, I should have setup my first Blog Script! Yahoo!!!.

Computer Hardware Designmarked the endwith a big low! I found that studying at the last minute does not help in anything but muddle up your concepts.. make it a muddy puddle!!! Oftenuend up thinking about something else... most ofthe time.. what plans after the exam. How many times have I thought that I would study some time before the exams and prepare myself for them? But, I have realized it time after time that Icannot keep up ther resolutions...[Don't evenget mestarted on my newyear resolutions....].Well neways at the end of the http://members.lycos.co.uk/gurupanguji/comment.php?blogstamp=2003-12-12%2001:00:00 renganathan@gmail.com (Renganathan Ramamoorthy) Mon, 12 Dec 2003 01:00:00 +0530 I have made some changes to the site design..mainly in terms of blogging and stuff.

The big music symphony carefully marked with its superb crescendos and minuendos, through the strong forte afterthe first series, and the gusto after the secondseries are allovershadowed by the finshing note - often the wrong one as I mentioned before! Why do we always keep the thingsto the last minute is a question that I have asked myself often [previous day/ dayof the xam ofcourse].

How true isit for the current generation? Most of time I find thatI am doing much better time-spending late atnight, while others areasleep... Some peaceful time for myself. I can almost feel that I can accomplishanything during this time. However, almost any time that I spend extra into the night, I have to make up time for it by biting that much into the day time. Also, everytime I supposedly "oversleep" asit is so caressingly put by my mother, it ends up in a big dispu http://members.lycos.co.uk/gurupanguji/comment.php?blogstamp=2003-12-10%2000:00:00 renganathan@gmail.com (Renganathan Ramamoorthy) Mon, 10 Dec 2003 00:00:00 +0530 With the advent of Open Source systems, there is a technology boom happening all around us. How do we cope up with thistechnological boom? There are twoways people react to this - 1.] Be Blissfully ignorantand 2.] Try and cope up by a constant update. Imyself felt this jump of technology recently and I wasblissfully ingnorantof this boom myself. Why are we notin touchwith technology and why are we not feeling bad about it? Right from our early days, we havebeen spoon fed by the education system - subjects taught in the class with one sole obje http://members.lycos.co.uk/gurupanguji/comment.php?blogstamp=2003-12-02%2000:00:00 renganathan@gmail.com (Renganathan Ramamoorthy) Mon, 02 Dec 2003 00:00:00 +0530
