Those Broken Resolutions

So its February, the time of the year when you look back at those delightful ambitious resolutions you make in January… and as usual find them all broken. To refresh your memories, my resolutions were not to get angry, not to complain and to update this site often. So far this year I have gotten angry more than once already, started complaining right from week one and you definitely know

Munnar and Marayoor

One of the most beautiful places I have seen is a paradise called Munnar. So, when some of my friends suggested that we go for a trip to the place, I was more than happy to YES. I had been there just once before but I had already fallen in love with it, at first sight.    [![Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us](http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3481/munnarlake9oo.

Rusty's Zietgeist 2005

Zeitgeist is something Google does every year. It is a German word that means roughly “spirit of the season”. Google digs deep into its search history, to provide us with very interesting stats about the general trends in the world. So today was digging into RustyShack’s stats page and decided why not have a Rusty’s Zietgeist! Yeah, I know Google gets a million hits everyday and mine struggles

Goodbye 2005

Looking back, 2005 wasn’t that bad a year for me. It started off pretty well with Dishaa and I had a lot of fun before and during the event. But only two weeks later, a major social disaster followed. That had a big impact on how I viewed things for the rest of the year I guess and had the potential to ruin my whole year. It was downtime

The Road Not Taken - Intro

I am someone who always loved to travel. Despite this, till not so long ago, I never had many chances to fulfill this desire. But once in college I was lucky enough to get a group of friends who were as interested in exploring new lands as I was, if not more. Over the past year and a half we have made some memorable trips. We have not travelled far

Aazhimala Beach - The First Trip

Read the   Intro  first :) It was sometime in July last year. So this one day we had a shortened college day for some reason. Someone suggested we go somewhere. Subhash I think, came up with the idea of a very little known beach called Aazhimala. Our first of those several “dynamic” plans began there. 6 of us squeezed ourselves in my car and 4 more followed in two mobikes. Driving

Euphoria - The Language

Let me introduce to you, a little known (probably even unheard of) language called Euphoria. It is a flexible and powerful language that is surprisingly easy to learn and claimed to be simpler than BASIC and more powerful than C. Well that’s something to live up to! Euphoria is a relatively new language developed by Robert Craig in the early 90’s. It was probably envisaged as a cheaper

How to evaluate an Engineer?

My semester exams are going on now and I have been (supposedly) spending most of my time studying for it. Not really studying, its more like mugging up. That makes me wonder how good an evaluation system our B.Tech examinations are. From what I know, an engineer must be someone who applies his knowledge to engineer some ingenious things. Does that mean he needs to remember every theory in
