Is black money all black? | BlankBored
https://blankbored.wordpress.com/2011/06/20/is-black-money-all-black
Personal blog of Suraj Srinivas. Is black money all black? June 20, 2011. India has suddenly become all energetic in the past few days. There is the crusade against corruption, fasts, so-called satyagrahas, and what not! It’s a festival for journalists! Amidst all this drama and commotion, it is easy to forget the real issue- why does black money exist in the first place? This post of mine is an attempt of mine to make sense of it all. In this context, this type of black money is truly a huge crime that ...

The ultimate penalty | BlankBored
https://blankbored.wordpress.com/2013/11/28/the-ultimate-penalty
Personal blog of Suraj Srinivas. November 28, 2013. It is indeed mysterious as to how this happened. Traditionally, human beings have always feared for their lives. The last time that a death penalty was taken seriously by the media was about 300 years ago, when a world-famous psychopath killer was hanged. What had happened to humanity since then? It is true that the United Nations World Government had added Internet Supply to the basic rights of man, but scientifically, is it really essential? ThereR...

Ten commandments to help survive engineering | BlankBored
https://blankbored.wordpress.com/2014/06/04/ten-commandments-to-help-survive-engineering
Personal blog of Suraj Srinivas. Ten commandments to help survive engineering. June 4, 2014. A title like that fundamentally assumes that the author has survived his time at undergraduate engineering. Surely, having just received his final semester grades, he can finally heave a sigh of relief. And indeed I am. I mean, practical records, seriously? What is this, 1980? Read at your own risk. Thou shalt not learn by rote. Thou shalt not take classes (or labs) too seriously. Knowledge from the teacher (and ...

The Ear project | BlankBored
https://blankbored.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/the-ear-project
Personal blog of Suraj Srinivas. May 20, 2011. Now that my second semester of college is over, looking back at it, I feel that it was the semester of projects. I got involved in quite a number of things and some of them were quite fruitful. I’d like to think of my ‘ear project’ as one of those, although partially. There were three of us on this project: Praveen, Pramukh and myself working it. And unlike any project, it had the strangest of beginnings. Then came second semester. Enter Praveen Kumar...

My experience with GATE | BlankBored
https://blankbored.wordpress.com/2014/07/13/my-experience-with-gate
Personal blog of Suraj Srinivas. My experience with GATE. July 13, 2014. Before writing GATE exam, and before preparing for interviews, I’d always looked on the internet and found blogs from people who described in detail about their experiences. I found such blogs very useful, as they gave me an idea of what to expect. So here is my attempt to document my own experiences and insights. So what GATE score should you aim for? What score will get you into IITs/IISc? If 1500 AIR 150, the game begins. You...

The facebook theory | BlankBored
https://blankbored.wordpress.com/2011/06/07/the-facebook-theory
Personal blog of Suraj Srinivas. June 7, 2011. I’ve been reading a lot of articles lately, and I found out that many good blogs, magazines, newspapers had at least one post about facebook. Apparently, it’s ‘cool’ to write about facebook. So I thought, why not have a whack at it myself? Your ‘friends’? Lets see. Everyone is on facebook because everyone else is on it. And why is everyone else on it? Because it had something that they thought was good. Something that appealed to them. What is. Also, faceboo...

Is hockey, India’s “actual” national sport? | BlankBored
https://blankbored.wordpress.com/2011/03/20/cricket-national-game
Personal blog of Suraj Srinivas. Is hockey, India’s “actual” national sport? March 20, 2011. There have been debates going on from quite some time on the same topic. Should we steal the title from hockey? Or should cricket be where it is, and not try to go beyond? Does it happen with cricket? What about the ‘other’ sports, like kabaddi, kho-kho, badminton, chess and carrom? We do play them almost as much as we play cricket, right? I don’t think so. Cricket is well-known in very few countries, and doesn&#...

The wait ends…or does it? Part4 | BlankBored
https://blankbored.wordpress.com/2011/08/16/the-wait-ends-or-does-it-part4
Personal blog of Suraj Srinivas. The wait ends…or does it? August 16, 2011. Its been a while since I blogged. And considering the fact that it was the holiday season, I should have definitely blogged a little more. Well, I AM blogging now, at the fag end of the holiday season. In fact- at the end of the season exactly. Today is the last day of my so-called “summer” holidays. Now what in the world is Arduino? Allow me to explain. Arduino is an open-source. Electronics prototyping platform. In simpler ...

The circuit that didn’t work | BlankBored
https://blankbored.wordpress.com/2011/11/05/the-project-that-didnt-work
Personal blog of Suraj Srinivas. The circuit that didn’t work. November 5, 2011. Its not usual for a PESITian to be blogging when it’s not in his summer holidays, and more so when his second test is approaching- closer and closer by the day! Its even more unusual to blog when he has a lab test at just around the same time, and, the final exam being just a couple of weeks away from there. So then, why am I blogging now? We decided to construct a programmable code lock. You know, a circuit. All right, we t...
