Circling In My Head #1

....

Hey you! out there on the road

Doing what you're told, can you help me

Hey you! out there beyond the wall

Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me

Hey you! don't tell me there's no hope at all

Together we stand, divided we fall

-Pink Floyd's 'Hey you'

Ba Ba Black Sheep

Ba Ba Black Sheep: Punishing Innocents
(On Nehru Hall GC Massacre)

Black sheep: noun – A member of a family or other group who is considered undesirable.

It was the happiest moment for Nehru Hall of Residence; they won all the three Golden Championships (GCs) that IIT Kharagpur offers for best performance in sport events, social and cultural events and technical events. They got over excited and showed off their joy in some what non-sober sense by entering into some other hostel and ridiculing them, which resulted in some dhishum-dhishum and few noses and few legs got broken.

Obviously Nehru-ites were liable to punishment, a punishment that reminds everyone not to enjoy happiness by break opening some skulls. So IIT barnstormers, uh sorry, brainstormers came up with two decisions – one, not give them any of the GCs; two, not to allot Nehru Hall to any of the new students.

First one is none of my concerns but still I think it is wrong. How easily can you scrap their one year’s fight and probably their future glory of winning three GCs alone just based on one incident which is very common in school lives? You, surely, can come up with a better punishment than that. You could ask them for an open apology to the suffered hostel or you can give them title of winner of three GCs but don’t give them the cups or give them the cups colored in black.

Whatever, it is not what bothered me much.

What made me think pity on their decision is the second part of it. No first year is going to be allotted Nehru Hall. What does that mean? To jury, it is probably a way to stop new talents going into Nehru Hall, but to second year students it is a pain spanning one year. Now, since no first year student will be allotted Nehru, more students will be allotted to other hostel. The problem is that all hostels already crumbling with students out numbering the rooms; and banning one hostel from taking new students means testing the collapse limit of other hostels’ facilities.

This decision will force more students to live with another roommate in a room optimized to live one student. (There is a possibility of putting four persons in double rooms.) Imagine a situation when one hundred and fifty students have to live in rooms which are not even sufficient for accommodating hundred.

I ask a question, who would suffer then? Nehru-ites, who are responsible, or first years, who think it’s a nice place to live…. and learn. Is it Nehru Hall which will suffer water shortage or other hostels who will have to carry one and a half times more people than the designed for?

The question is how long we will be treated as sheep? How many times will we be following the mob? Is there a black sheep (or lamb)?

Mechanical Programming

Mechanical Programming

7ou are not a skilled programmer (but never stopped boasting about 7our programming skills), 7ou have some twent7 da7s left in 7our graduation and 7ou find out 7our ke7board has got a non-adjustable vital ke7 fucked-up. What would 7ou do? (Especiall7, when all 7ou do on 7our computer is chat, read blog and search porn.) Bu7 a new ke7board! Naah!

(7ou must have guessed that the ke7 I am talking about is ‘y’, I had nonfunctional left control, tab and left shift, alread7.)

Probabl7 7ou’ll program some redundant ke7 like ‘tilde’ to print ‘wai.’ Being Mechanical Engineer b7 academics, I chose a ke7 which is close to ‘wai’ and look somewhat like it. I got ‘7’ and fitted a mechanical linkage between them. (Click the image to see it.)

I programmed m7 computer mechanicall7 to print a s7mbol (seven) for a mechanicall7 unprintable letter (‘wai’).

PS. I used same ke7board facilit7 to t7pe m7 sevent7 pages long thesis, then cop7 pas7ted ‘wai’ for each seven from a website using MS Word’s search and destro7 tool. So it is not alwa7s ‘kewl’ to program mechanicall7, some time it sucks.

The Idea behind Virtual Wing

What is the idea behind Virtual Wing?

Virtual Wing is created to develop an on-line community similar to a hostel wing. In Virtual Wing authors can write anything; their daily life incidents, their Views / comments on anything, their ideas and plans and hey, author can ask for help and support. (We hope the community can help you to get out of the shit in same ways your wing-mates used to do!)

The blog is meant to share ideas, life, views and creativity of young people who just entered in real life from their academic life.

Who can join?

Anyone who

1. Have been in college / hostel during last 10 years.
2. Is intended to write something and publicize it.

Who can not join?

Residents of Phobos moon

I have my own blog, already!

You can still join us. You can do two things

1. Whenever you publish a post in your blog, copy paste whole post in Virtual Wing.
2. Just cite most vital part of your new post in your blog, and refer its address (post address not blog address.).

What can I write?

Anything that you think is worth writing.

It can be one line comment on bikini scene by Bipasa Basu or a hundred page long your love letter of unsuccessful love.

How am I benefited?

It is a bounded community; authors are young graduate with a lot of ideas and new experience. They are very impatient to make an impact on the world.

What you get is knowledge in advance. You will know how the world is going to take shape in next five year or probably you can meet next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs before others.

Or perhaps we can make a group, flourish an idea and start up a company.

Can I be expelled?

Rarely!

However an inactive author that is an author who does not write anything for more than nine months (without a cause) can be expelled from the group. Read “The Rule Book” for detailed information.

Still have questions?

If you still have some query, please put it in comments. We will reply you as soon as we can.

Virtual WINGS

First of all thanks a lot to the administrator for making me part of this blog community. I know he is going to pull my legs for being so formal.
As a first note I don't know keeping what in mind this name has been chosen for me its like someone who wants to fly, reach the unlimit of sky but has no wings. So he choses the deermination, willpower and the love and guidance of his friends as his virtual wings. So hope this community acts as another source( among many others) for being in touch with eachother. Hope all of my friends achive great height and success and make ours WINGS stronger. Thankyou all and my best wishes and love always with you.
NOTE: As per my behaviour I start everything with great energy but it dulls with time as I find it boring. But I will try to be regular on this blog.

Posting Tips # 1

Click on '+New Post' link on your dashboard. You'll come to a page looking more or less like image#1. (open this image in new window because you'll need to refer it a lot until you finish this post.)

Image#1: Introduction to Blogger Editing Tools

The best strategy to post a story is to first write it in Microsoft Word with all the colors, links and fonts; and then post it directly in edit area.

Blogger supports MS-Word script so what-you-see-is-what-you-get (wysiwyg), check few line alignments, adjust gap and click preview button to see how it look. Unsatisfied? Click compose tab edit it until you get satisfactory result then publish.

Don't want to use MS Word?

1. Text: Start writing in edit area. (see image #1)
Make sure that you are writing under compose tab. (label#1 in image#1)
As you can see it is user friendly edit environment with button very similar to MS Word.

For new users (refer image#1):

1. Label#6 is title. Whatever you write here comes as header of your post. And goes in side-bar as a link.It is a good practice to keep title short and relevant.
   
   
2. Label#5 is to change font style and size.
   
   
3. Label#7 is to change color.
   
   
4. Note that short-cuts like ctrl+b, ctrl+i can directly toggle bold and italic respectively. You don't need to raise your elbow always to change eshtyle.

2. Image: To add an image to your blog. You need to know three things; one, address of the image you are going to upload; two, position where you want to put the image in the post and third how large image do you want to appear in the blog.

click on image icon to upload a photo. See image#1 label#3.
Once you've uploaded the photo, it appear at the top of your post. Just drag and put it wherever you want to put it in the post.

if you think image is too big or too small, drag-resize it to desired size. Don't worry. It doesn't alter the size of originally uploaded image. You can still click the resized image to see full size photo. As you can do with image#1.

3. Linking and Labeling: You may wish to refer your reader to refer some page. Writing web address directly in Edit Area doesn't make it a link (so sad!). To add a link you follow the procedure given below:

1. Select the text you want to make a link.
2. Click button#8 in image#1. A dialog box opens.
3. give the desired web address here. click OK.
   DONE!

See image#2 for explaining image. It is a good habit to go in "Edit Html" tab and provide image an Alternate name, in alt attribute.











Image#2: Linking - an example
---------------------------------------------------------


Labeling: This is very very vital part of your post. Provide category to your posts. Which makes it easier to browse the content context-wise.

Try to label your post as many as relevant category as you can.

Don't use vague categories like road, scooter, sky.

Don't use categories which are too specific like white underwear, one night with miss infy or anything like that.

Try to limit yourself in existing Label (which can be seen by clicking "Show all" link.) but good new label are encouraged.

More features of Blogger Editor will be discussed in next post.
