C: We got screwed man, That AL was taking our thing and HOD suddenly walked in because he was terribly pissed off with some other group. He checks all code, everything and be careful.

Wednesday 16:30 -
K: Maga, how was project submission?
S: Don't ask maga, HOD came. We got raped.

Wednesday 20:00 -
Call from M : Let's meet and discuss about the project. I'll explain the code and stuff so that we can confidently tell HOD about everything.

Wednesday 21:00 onwards -
A: Any idea how the others did?
K: Most did okay, but whoever got HOD, better not talk about it.
Sources: You are group 25, so you will get HOD only
M: Maga, full tension if HOD comes, I don't know what to say only.
A and K : If you only don't know what will we say man!
All : Okay how do we divide functions? You do destroy, I do Load, He'll do select. No man, I can't do this.
A: Okay I'll do Select Insert and Join, He'll do Create,Load and Project and you do Describe Drop and Print
M: What about delete!? Delete is bevarsi maga. lol
All : Hey Let's make a PPT and go show him, might be impressed and all. Ohh nice idea!

Thursday 8:30 -
A: I've started making the PPT. You'll present it to him?
K: Yeah okay.
M: Don't take tension maga. Whatever happens will happen.
A: Yeah, let's just distract him and be confident so that he doesn't get the feeling we haven't split it.
M: After today, whatever happens let's go put Golconda in Garuda!
K: Sure!

Thursday 10:30 -
M: Cha, I wish this help file would work, that way we he'll be more impressed.
K:Okay, arbit idea, lets open the ppt when you click on help file. But is it easy to do?
M: Shit, yeah man, let's do that! AJ How do you open PowerPoint in DOS Prompt?
A: powerpnt
M: This isn't working man.
K: Ayyo, chuck it da, big deal.
M: No da it will be sexy if this works!
A: Idea! Create batch file and call that.
M: Fak! Sexy maga, yeah we'll do that only.
M: Works!
K: Shit, this is the first thing that all 3 of us have done together!
A: Haha, that's why you need three people.

Thursday 11:00 - Enter HOD
HOD: You all look very happy. Why is it so? Completed the project?
All three: Yes sir
HOD: Let's see. Okay why do you need a PPT?
After some explanation and some time
HOD: Good work. But tell me just for argument's sake why are you using this load?
M: Sir, you can't access physical memory, so we load it into the RAM
HOD: But you have to go to a lower level for that.
M: Sir, that is a typical C approach. The purpose of using Java is defeated if we go to low level.
HOD: Who asked you to use Java?
*Shock*
HOD: Just joking, I wanted to just listen to what you have to say.
All Three: Sir, these are the join, project and delete functions.
HOD: It's okay, I don't think I need to see it. Proceed.
All Three: Sir, some extra features are there that we couldn't implement because we didn't know if it was apt.
HOD: No you have done everything. You want me to cut marks?
*Silly Smile*
A: Sir, what about the implementation of the other part?
HOD *Smiles* : No need. I'm sure you would have done that. Just copy your project in a CD and give it to me.

Thursday 12:00
All : Yess!! *High 5's all around*
M: Maga today GB for sure! Once again, for the second year in a row, DM's project gets stored in the dept.
M:That's enough maga. Now balls to end sems.
A and K : Haha haha.

Thus ended our dramatic project story. So much for all plans we had in case HOD was in belting form. With all the imbalanced fun we had and even more imbalanced code of the Java Guru this is something I thought I'd pen down to read sometime and feel nostalgic.

Colour v Color

I just logged in to my facebook account today, and there was this new translator tool that popped up to choose my language. Just like I always do, I chose English (UK), which led me its page where there were forum topics, one of which was Americans cannot speak English. That made for quite an interesting reading. I personally prefer the Brit version. It's what we grow up learning and it's what we should talk. American English has its own merits as well, considering they spell how they hear which makes things simple. But the reality is that basically an average American is not very smart and that's why they very conveniently made spellings simpler. Brit English on the other hand is complicated, yet a beautiful language. I may not exactly be the best person, or anywhere close to good in proper English, but I'd try to sound(not with the accent of course) and write as much British as possible. Frankly calling trousers pants, or boots trunks does not make a difference, or neither is the usage of color for colour and zee for zed too much of a crime, but it's just the portrayal of may be this new dialect 'American' as the correct form of English through different forms of media that tends to put people like me off. I once had a friend in school say, India should follow American English since it is a whole lot easier, easier it might be, but is it right? Perhaps eventually one day 'American' might take over English, but I hope that day is far away, for English English is how the language is supposed to be spoken, written and used. God save the queen, and her language.
