I've had a very, very long day. These two days in themselves have really taught me the importance of holidays. Now I will surely appreciate the free time I get much more than before.
Reached school at 9:00am from where we headed for Modem '03. Reached around 10:15. On the way, had a major argument with the teacher-in-charge and an eleventh-grader. The issue was participation for the 'Digital Video' event. This guys just popped in from nowhere and claimed that he had been selected to represent the school for the event when Vaibhav & me were already assigned long back.
Anyway, it took me a whole hour, in vain, to try and convince him to go back home. Eventually he ended up participating anyway. Which is good, since I left the event a half hour earlier because I had a tremendous back-ache sitting on a very uncomfortable chair.
Participated in 'Web Design' - the site totally ruled. Used a lot of sensible photoshop - but I guess the judges were not looking for that. Blasted that totally too. Was a disappointing day seriously, everything backfiring bigtime. Infact our entire team couldn't do anything. I don't know who to blame - since I myself couldn't do anything - what can I say about anyone else at this point?
The nice thing that happened to me while I was there was that I met a girl called Gursimran Arora. That freaked me - never in my life could I have imagined there was another girl in Delhi - leave aside the rest of the world with that name. Have come across quite a few Gursimran's... but Arora? Nevah! I took her number and told her I'd call her soon - I will really. I need to convince her to change her name ;)
I also met Arnab & Aadisht who were quizmasters there. I have a feeling both of them were extremely uncomfortable talking to me - I could've sworn Aadisht thought I bite. He was saying something about this blog being very bitter when someone interrupted. I wonder what else was in store for me :P
Met another nice girl called Ridhi who apparently was in 10th grade but talked high philosophy. In the beginning I battled out her philosophical findings - but realized I was a bit too tired and a lot too unarmed to go ahead - so I spent the next few minutes just nodding and agreeing. But she made me happy for the simple reason that she made sense.
Its been long I crashed into someone who made sense - and who was female. Anyway, lunch was a Subway sandwich and although it sounded good - it didn't taste all that well as it normally does. Anyway, we got free around 6:00pm and I didn't have the energy to stay on for the prize distribution - yea, like I was getting one ;) - so left right then. Then went to GK to buy some clothes - but didn't find anything and ended up with nothing. Plus I was in school uniform and that was very uncomfortable in the night (It turns night at six nowadays).
I don't know where the car went next for I reached home at 9:00. And its practically 2:00am right now. I hope there are no more symposiums lined up for me - my studies are suffering terribly and so is my health.
Tomorrow people, my eyes won't see the morning - they won't open until afternoon. Just imagining all that sleep is making my eyes go heavy. Good Night.

three or four days sitting at home doing nothing sounds like paradise :D seriously! I am going to be under a lot of pressure myself because of examinations and crap... ugh! I guess its justified genetically to look like an exact copy of a parent - or sometimes, even a grandparent... Maybe even i'd look like my mum when I grow older :P we'll find out not very far from now... Sleeping? :P I wish sleep could come and go when we desire.. but sadly it has an end.. when I got up this morning - I wished I could sleep another hour.. but just didn't feel sleepy.. was really disheartening.. anyway - tomorrow's school again, and the very thought makes me sick!

lol right its like paradise.. but when u get to to your daily routine.. you will feel like paradise for 2 or 3 days.. but then after, you will search again for your daily routine... no not sleeping, got lots of work, ya tommorow I will need to go to college, as since a week I have not attended college, and also assignment have to submit, I am sure will get late remark.. but doesnt matter, and also tommorow is test.. but I am fully prepared, as its on Flowchart :p, well, I have sent you email check it out and reply me as soon as possible.

What Can i say abt this situation? I rarely do fall in for HECTIC schedules, The thing is that I am too LAZY to work, and so it's always postponed, Life is EAZY...man...But yeah u should take of your self, I mean working is nice, but sleeping is too necessary, so what's up with this new gursimran, I have seen a lot of clone's, and many with name " SARTHAK" but not a single one a perfect "SARTHAK TANEJA" that's what makes me unique,
About finding sensible people, It's again rare for me, One's stated, I don't chage :P (I know it's bad)
Sarthak.Net is about to be launched, but this MT would kill me, Howz grey matter? is it good?

It must have been one hectic day.Talking of a double , I did meet someone at IIT Chennai who looked just like me.Even our freckles and glasses matched.Must have been a long lost twin of mine ;)
I also happened to meet somebody who actually made sense.Yeah the somebody also happened to be a female.

Sarthak: Whats bad about MT man - I told you to check out the link, thats the best way to install. Or just gimme a time and an Instant Messenger ID - and I'll guide you through the process... dont loose hope so soon man :P
Rohit: I won't ask why - but why not?!
Linus: Didn't you talk to him? Would've been an interesting find, you know! You should've dragged him back home with you and showed him off around.. oh well! Who was that female making sense - do we see sparks flying? ;)

Of course I did ..Infact all we did was stare at each other.But the fact is this guy is everything I am not and vice versa.We did hang out together for sometime before we got tired of each other's company. As of this girl Samprata ,we get on really well ;)
made cooler by Linus on November 9, 2003 3:42 PM
Nice name - Samprata... :D

Linus: I hope its a good thing, liking that name :)
Dhaval: Gimme some time - I am yet to check out in details the links.. and read your mail a couple of times over - don't want to miss anything :D

There can never be a duplicate with my name. It's the most unique last name anyone has. Can't say it in the open. I'm sure Lime's read my full name in my mails. Right?
made cooler by Rohit on November 9, 2003 9:19 PM
Rohit: I don't recall Rohit - lets have it out in the open :D

No actually Dhaval, it is quite interesting - but not something I can relate with much you know, since I'm not in that field - also I don't try all these softwares - I am stuck on windows 98 and too scared to experiment with my OS :( But i really appreciate you taking out time and writing to me.. means a lot!

made cooler by Dhaval Faria on November 9, 2003 10:09 PM
Its the same as before Dhaval - yep, I login as offline and barely chat - don't get enough time :P
made cooler by Lime on November 10, 2003 1:52 PM
How do you login as offline. Don't you have to go public and then go on Appear Offline. If there's a direct way I'd love to know it since I never chat myself most of the time.

I think she must be using Trillian for that, or any other software, coz MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger doesnt support it. well, I created VBMSN Messenger in VB, which does that thing, let me know if you want it.
made cooler by Dhaval Faria on November 10, 2003 7:18 PM
oh sorry, I forgot to add something.. well, I developed two apps for MSN Messenger, one is stand alone MSN Messenger, which is itself a messenger, but its interface is toooooo dull, so no one likes to use it, neigher me :p and the other one is just a simple API application which calls MSN Messenger's API and before you login in MSN Messenger, it allows you to login as invisible.
made cooler by Dhaval Faria on November 10, 2003 7:24 PM
Why don't you gimme the link Dhaval? Please..please?
made cooler by Lime on November 10, 2003 8:06 PM
aah a real mess has done with the application which I developed, now MSN Messenger's protocol is changed so that stand alone MSN Messenger is not working, I will need to develop it once again, and the API accessing application is not working with the MSN Messenger 6.x, so for that also I will need to work on it again.. so give me ur email id.. I will mail it 2 you.. as I got ur mail ID Lime so Amrita if you like you can give me ur email id, and I will post it to you, as I complete development on it.
made cooler by Dhaval Faria on November 10, 2003 9:59 PM
Hey, Dhaval include me too ...pls :D
made cooler by Sarthak on November 10, 2003 10:30 PM
I don't like Trillian or any of the other substitutes' interfaces..tried a lot of them. Could you mail it to me whenever it's ready at amrita[at]e-lusion.net. Thanks.
made cooler by Amrita on November 11, 2003 12:11 PM
Yep - Dhaval, lemme know as soon as its done - and we'll send out the link on this blog too :) So that everyone gets a copy of something that cool :D
made cooler by Lime on November 11, 2003 2:36 PM
ya added all urs emails in the list of sending software. well, actually nothing have done, I will need to redevelop everything because protocol has been changed ans MSN Messenger APIs problems, so as soon as any one of them gets complete, I will surely send it 2 u all.
