Monthly Archives: May 2008. May 10, 2008 · 3:08 am. It’s been a year since I decided to relax my non-archetype ideals and blog. It was (surprisingly) my lab-mate Aneesh’s blog ( Whimsical Musings. That kinda inspired me. But the acclivity of the path that finally resulted in this post was enormous, as I shall currently make clear. The ordeal began with naming the blog. As I spent the long atrophic hours at IISc, Bangalore last year trying to figure out why I wasn’t actually doing anything (aha! The chris...

The Break →. January 2, 2009 · 10:25 pm. Yeah, I can hear you saying At last! It’s about time I wrote something here to keep this blog alive. So here goes. Here, Tux presented his funda-of-the-session: Dude, look at the power of abstraction. Does Balaji Rao have to worry about electrons clattering around inside PCBs when he’s hacking at the speed of light? I had to agree. At least the second point Tux presented was true. Is this the Supreme Material that unites the individual soul and God? Discover anoth...

I either felt like hugging him or cursing him: a. One moment, a. But that scoreboard was important. Because on so many, many days it showed R Dravid. Either he had batted all day and was battening down the hatches. Or he had walked in after an early wicket late in the day. Either way, it was so reassuring to see him&...Adding to the...

Monthly Archives: January 2009. January 17, 2009 · 10:20 pm. It all began that fateful day as I waited in the porch of the department of mechanical engineering at IISc. It was after an hour of dreary waiting that The Vysyan strode into the entrance hall of the department carrying a smug expression that I’ve now learned to associate with being The Vysyan. My academic career suddenly decided to dump my instincts and tag along with The Vysyan’s. January 17th, 19:30 hours has passed. I haven’t yet ...It’s ab...

Few books get down to fundamentals and these are books that are written by authors that really love understanding those fundamentals. I strongly maintained that FM White was far beyond reckoning in presenting basic fluid mechanics. Till I read Kundu. And this description of viscosity simply sent me overboard! Why I began discussing viscosity with this article in my FM class last year. Forget the dashed line thingy.

It might probably have been the predisposition towards an academician or merely the approval of simplicity. Whatever. It spoke a message – a simple and nice one. 8221;, regarding his book release.

Capricious Reflections: Serious Discussion!? A flashback
http://abhibv.blogspot.com/2008/06/serious-discussion-flashback.html
Monday, June 2, 2008. Venue: Room no 87 5th block. Time: Arbit day in 8th semester. What happens when a chemical engineer, a few mech engineers and a comps guy sit together and have a GD on Future, Career etc etc. There was no result whatsoever.howmuchever we tried to arrive at some solution we miserably failed. Several options were considered. 1) To work for a few yrs and do an MBA. 2)To do an MBA right after BTech. 3)To Do an MS with or without work experience. 4)MS PhD (out of our bounds i guess).
