Heard about that geek who screams “Add New Hardware?” to compliment his friends newly acquired outfit?Welcome to the world of your-work-takingafter-you syndrome.
Living more than 8 hours with your work and studies occupies a very large portion of ‘RAM’(??!!) of your mind, so much so that it unconsciously seeps into your hard drive(?? What am i talking about??)
Like when we started our course on ‘C’programming during our 2nd semester in Masters of Science(Electronics),we used to talk in a new language -apna(our) ‘C’ Language.
…Written in a chit passed to a friend:
Me:printf(“Have you brought my pendrive\n”);
My friend:printf(“Reply=%s”,no);
Me:printf(“Idiot\a”);
Some weirdo even wrote a C program to propose a girl..(i got this in my Orkut scrapbook).I am thinking of writing a C program to propose a guy(good coding time pass).Am quite good at that and am best at imagining things.So much so that if some weird thing happens to be described and if i react by ‘aww..’ or ’shit’..then they would tease me by what i must have imagined. A special description for this is that i have ‘the best imaging software installed’(ofcourse in my head)And when they ask for a copy i just give them an evaluation software(not the full version and no updates either)..Ha ha..
We are a small class of 11 students and addicted to laughing at silly things most of which comes from associating what we study to normal day to day life..
And e have developed our small private versionof messenges.No its not software..its hardware.And howz that?? Simple.One of my friends bought a small diary,which,interestingly has a picture of a raccoon on it.So we named it raccoon messenger.Now whenever we happen to have a boring lecture,we pass our raccoon right under lecturer’s nose.Talk about instant messaging,huh?
And whats more we even have facilities like the stuff on Yahoo! or so..offline messages,buzz!,voice messages,etc..Told you we are crazy,creative bunch of weirdos.
On some days when server is not available(my friend forgot to bring raccoon),we message in our desi(=rustic) paper way. Some lectures back, i passed an empty paper chit to a friend.Guess what was that??
It was a missed call!!
We also have call waiting and network problems when our lectures faces us but when he faces away,we have a wonderful network which follows us everywhere.
Am surprised you are still reading..OK after reading such an article,to pacify your miffed nerves,because the Homosapien, who is sitting in front of your computer screen, commanded them to read and obviously that was because while surfing your eye got a glance of this article and your retina sent a message to your olfactory nerve(oops sorry that is for smell)..i mean to your optic nerve..and something stopped your reflex system from closing this browser window, go and have a cup of coffee(I am not talking about JAVA here).
Phew..That was really a big sentence full of sub-ordinate and co-ordinate clauses..
No no stop bangng your head..Am really tired after writing the last para..
OK see ya folks..bye
