Hi friends,
I come here, again!
I have not posted an article for a time now! I was occupied with lots of work which had piled up owing to my India trip! And, it did take time to clear all the load!
Last month or so has been but an eventful for me!
I had two midterms to write in 4 hours and believe me, it was horror!
And more of it was to follow once the results came out!
Error correcting codes was like OK but Prof. Andreas Molisch, instructor for Mobile communications did screwed me (and for that sake, he screwed whole class, and me is not an exception! A rarity!)
I scored 25 point out of 80 possible points and to pacify me, the news that class average was not more than 25 was but enough! Still, I felt it was the time to introspect! What went wrong so terribly? Was it the anxiety of 2 midterms in four hours or was it just the reflection of amount of efforts I put in?
This question did bug me a lot and I am not able to answer it yet. I felt (Before midterms) that I was learning a lot in the subject but seeing the paper,and more, getting the result as such, I was like, didn't I study anything for this exam?
I don't know what the end result is going to be, but I feel strongly that I might end up dropping the class!
This pretty much wraps up my yelling! I had a lot to say about my India trip, but in few hours, horror of 570-Analysis of algorithms is to strike and this time, I gotta be prepared to face it, and possibly, not allow it to take over!
So meet you guys later on!
Take care,
Jai Gujarat!
Vandemataram!

Change we need!!
Namaste All,
Jai Somnath!
Yeah, Jay Somnath! This temple, in its full glory is indeed the sign of courage our Nation and Hindus as such possess! Everytime this temple of Bhagwan Shiv was brought down, it came up with more majesty, the current one being the best one according to me!! (Alright, I didn't see rest of them and also I am in love with this temple, I might go on to say that it ain't Taj Mahal but Somanth MAdir that should be given a place in 9 wonders of the world as well :))
This thoughts of Somnath mandir came to my mind while I was watching the ghastly acts going on in Amchi Mumbai! Our Mumbai! Mumbai that belongs to Indians and not that of Raj Thackerays!! I wonder where he was and what he was doing while city was held hostage by a couple of Bastards from across the border! :O
Enough of Digression, I know you guys want me to come to main point!
I was glued to my Laptop for 2 days seeing the prooceedings that were taking place at Taj hotel and other prime buildings of Mumbai! It pained,created agony, hatred and almost everything that can be associated with Tamas! :( I had been to the same place on 13th DEC, 07, last time I had been to Mumbai in order to get my visa :( ( I now wish I hadn't got that.) This place, although British in architecture, gave a sense of pride to me, seeing it, I felt proud of bharat, of Mumbai! But went away the majesty with what happened! Although I am sure, Taj will be build up with even more grandeur! ( You guys see, little bit of digression is but necessary.).
We see a lot, hear a lot and analyse a lot but when come the application we hide our backs like an Ostrich :O. This is what I anticipate, will happen in the aftermath of this terrifying acts.
We see a hell lot of people saying we need a change! All discussions I heard ( I confess, I killed a lot of time listening to them!) were useless, aimed to prove only and only one thing- Only people who are responsible for what happened are 'POLITICIANS'. A preferred way by all of us to hide our own short comings. For anything and everything bad, point out the finger at people that occupy the Delhi! If you dont earn, you are hungry, you are uneducated, point finger at Delhi and its policies!
Even I think we need a change, but this change is within us, the way we think, the way we act. We are occupied with the West for wrong things,be it night clubs or live in-s. This is not we need, we need some better things to learn from West, these things inlcude, Planning, Integrity,proper law enforcement, better hygiene etc. etc., list goes on and on, in many ways if we bring this change, I am pretty sure, such acts and hence, the history will not repeat. This is the change I was talking about! :)
see you later on,
Jai shri Ram.

Halat Bigdi!!!!!
Hello friends!
This time here to share the experiences of being at USC!
It is high time for me to study but still just to relax a bit, I thought of posting a new blog.
As the heading says, to describe USC in few words, I prefer to say, "SWEET ASYLUM".
It has been a terrifying experience!
Too much of the hard work and nothing fun!
I never anticipated that it would turn out to be so wierd.
It has been a truely hilarious experience, not in the sense that I hate hard work, but more due to the fact that even after workin hard, I some times ended up doing something that was totally confusing, and that confusion arised from the fact that I was not knowing what I was trying to do!! I think that sums up USC.
It asks you to do the things of which you are totally unaware of! i.e, a total confusion!
I am so terrfied with todays experience that I am not able to write any thing good about USC for today atleast!
So for that, wait for the next post!
See you all later on,
Good Bye,
Vandemataram,
Konark Vyas!

Here I am ! This time from the land of Uncle Sam!
Hello friends!
Again I come . Finally fulfilled the dream of being to US of A with purpose of pursuing Master's in Communication Engineering! As I disembarked Singapore on my way, I was estonished to see such a beautiful place! A fabulous airport I ever visited
(Based on comparision of :
Chatrapati Shivaji international airport,Mumbai, Bharat
Sardar Patel international airport,Karnavati,Bharat
Moscow international airport,Moscow,Russia
Istanbul international airport,Istanbul,Turkey,
Los Angeles international airport,Los Angeles,USA)
All beautiful things too see(although all artificial!)
Its simple beauty at its best. Engineering at its pinnacle! I had a feeling that things don't became more good! Visited all of places that I could but without paying a $$$$$$!
And after a pleasent and memorable stay of almost a day, I headed to the destination! A country where every Gujarati wants to be!A country where references count officially!
I landed at LAX aka Los Angeles on the last day of 2007! The city of Hollywood!The city of stars! The city that houses the Wallstreet of west!The city that is home to Trojans & hence a home to me!
Finally I had the chance to visit the place where I will spend next two years being a student at University of Southern California! "Magnificent architecture and excellent infrasturucture" is what best defines USC! But its same words that define all universities of America!
I first time saw a blend of European and Jeffersonian architecture! It was all beautiful and I must say, affluence shows in everything at this place! Its just awesome!
More of it in next part!

HYPOCRISY AGAIIN!!!! GUJARAT GOES FOR ELECTIONS
Hello friends,
Seeing you all after a very long time!
Well Gujarat heads for polls again and whole country has its eyes localized at single point. No doubt this elections might well decide the loksabha-2009's fate!
MR. CM is flying high and it seems he has forgotten the ground reality. The experimental school of hindutva no more surrenders to such emotions anymore & although the developments are apparent, large amount of dissent among the party people might well prove fatal for the BJP.
Again, the Sadhvi seems to be going on the track which might lead to the division of hindu votes and in all, the congress may well have an upper hand as minority will always render its support to it.
I reckom that it will be nail biting fray and lots of muscle and money power will go in and it may well readicate the fact that MR. CM is against CORRUPTION!
may god save my motherland!

Patibha Patil a strong candidate for prez?
good to see you all friends again..
today i am here to annotate my views on TO BE NEXT PREZ of the largest democracy of the world..
As we all know that our next prez would be Shrimati Pratibha Patil, a long time loyalist of 10/Janpath, for which she was rewarded Rajpath!! Well i feel that just being loyal to a family should not be the measure of one being selected for the top job of the state.. this has definately invoked a serious thinking that we should go for a federal system wherein atlest it is ensured that we are not going to have a rubber stamp. And when Dr. Kalam has taken the dignity of Rashtrapati Bhavan to such new heights i fell it would be the tenure most cherished by people of Bharat. The culmination is achieved and we do not get to see such heights ever again...
Its but the sad part of world's largest democracy that peoples will is not taken into account.
We really need to change the system...

secularism turning out to be hypocrisy?
Namaskar all of my friends,
today i am here to write something about the prevailing thinking of youth in our country.
Many of my educated friends take this,
It should help you for surely re-inventing your own religion.
"I am equally situated in all beings. There is none who is particularly hateful to me or dearer to Me. But those who worship Me with devotion I am in them and they are in Me."[Chapter 9 -Raj Guha yoga,Verse 29,Bhagwad Gita]-Lord Krishna.
