President of the US

two things i dint know abt gw bush
1.the president's chopper is called the marine one. this is like the air force one
2.the suitcase containing the codes to american nuclear bases is called the football

india longing

the first week back after india has been a long and a difficult one. the longing to see the folks and brothers has been enormous. i am not a very emotional guy when it comes to family. however the thought that i may not see these ppl for some time - my own people - my family. i have spent 21 years with them. not just parents: uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents, brother.
like suri told me: friends are family you choose.
here are family you can choose.
if i had to choose a family, i will choose these people over and over again. the fallacies and the quirks are the things that make me love them more than ever.
the thought of seriously shifting back after a couple of years here is more serious now than ever. sure, you must be htinking, so says everyone else. i wonder if this is the time they say that.i think i seem to be coping with this worser than anyone else. though everyone must be feeling it inside.like me. like amarnath.
the sights and smells of india are intoxicating. as american as i can get in thinking , i am indian by birth and by right. i do not want to loose that right, feeling or that mentality. i dont give a damn if you care or not that i am an INDIAN.

Good programming practice

functionalizing programs in a neat hierarchical manner promotes good software engineering. But it has a price. A heavily functionalized program as compared to a montolithic program without functions makes potentially large numbers of function calls and these consume execution time on a computer's processor(s). so although monlithic programs may perform better, they are more dificult to program, test, debug, maintain and evolve.

return to the us

i have spent the last one month in india. i have thoroughly enjoyed all the sights and sounds of india. all the thrill and frill. i will be returning back by the next week and shud be in full wing back into my fgpa work. i am very sad abt this (leaving india - missing people here) but i have to do it. i can choose. but i am not shah rukh khan in swades. i cant afford to build a bulb and be happy. i need to prove more stuff before i can become a hero.
in other news, i bought a 2 piece suit here at life style. i shud pick it up from altering by tomm.
as for the excuse as to why my blogging and website dev has reduced, i think i have as good excuse as any. im in india and the primary audience for the blog is here, although i have heard good stuff being said about it always.

swades

excellent movie. shah rukh excelled. gayatri joshi was stunning. totally inspiring movie about indians living abroad and rediscovering india. ahsutosh said lagaan is patriotic, swades is nationalistic. thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
in bad news the tsunami killed more than 13000 as of now. i am afraid my trip to vizag cud get cancelled. lets hope it doesnt. i have to call suri and confirm.
i think im gonna drop watching polar express 3d today and go watch it on the wed. rahul and rohit might come along, os i booked 3 tickets.

reg - the assasination of a jerry bull who built the world's largest super gun for the iraqis. the rumor is that the americans cut his(jerry's) funding and jerry started working for the iraqis. he got assasianted by either the israeli mossad or the american cia. he was shot 5 times on the back side. the first on the back of the head. he was probably dead by the time he hit the floor.

India - swades - ar rahman

I'm in India. a little delayed. a little tired. a little jet-lagged. but in one whole and hearty piece. it is a great feeling to visit your home town, state,country after a period of time. the anticipation surrounding seeing your loved ones far overpowers the mental abiltiy to stay focused on the work at hand during the last 15 days.
on another note, i have been listening to swades here almost twice a day. i am scheduled to see this movie on the saturday at sangeet. the songs are amazing. a point that needs not be noted as it is ar rahman.
ar rahman
the aura surrounding this great personality is covered by the humility that he shows. his smile stands out as the first thing you notice. we are indeed fortunate to be an audience to his ever so popular music. i am still proud that he is an indian. i hope the world recognizes the genius and gets to enjoy the man and his music.

Wowwee! Copied from Arsenal.com

'MR ARSENAL' WINS FAN OF THE MONTH

Arsenal supporter Keith Martin has won the prestigious Barclays Fan of the Month Award for November. Muswell Hill based Keith clocked up an astonishing 4,000 miles last month alone watching his beloved team, and owns a ticket stub and programme for every game he has attended since 1963. Referred to as 'Mr Arsenal' by fellow supporters, 50-year-old Keith never misses a fixture home or away including pre-season, and has followed the Gunners for 40 years all over the world. The only game he has missed was Arsenal v Leeds in 2000, a fixture that coincided with the London Marathon Keith was running for charity to support his father who has Parkinson’s Disease. Needless to say he ran round the 26 mile course as quickly as possible, and managed to get back home and watch the second half.

issues

the dps video that has been covered on the news. it makes me kinda sad. the media hype around the incident and the school kis..i repeat kids doing such acts of unwiseness. i always beleieved we(indians) had a sense of ethics while we live in our lives. tell me how different is this from the paris hilton video. this kind of thing is humiliating to the indian public. more shame on the media to have covered such stuff. ndtv has instantly lost a lot of points on thier ethics rating. call me biased, but i think nothing justifies this coverage.not by indiatimes, not by ndtv , not by any other source that has done this, ill have to check what "the hindu" had to say about this. i felt guilty personally when i saw it. i wonder how the parents must feel and not to mention the guilty party themselves.
in better news, suri has left for india by the time i finsh writing this. i have another 5 days to go. i am living on the anticipation. thanks to joe for the drive to the airport(twice in our case).
the irony of life looms large on the spirit of the youth.is this what life is about: the rollercoaster. we surely have some serious thrill issues to be doing this.(riding the coaster)

DIYA 2004

fruits of joy

after a lot of hard work and effort, finally two things have come to fruit.
1. the diya 2004 intro video was shown at the isco festival and we think we got a good applause. it was appreciated and i think it was well worth the effort.
2. the website that ive been wokring on since start of october..the home page is also set. it might be a little complicated to understand what im trying to convey but its nice to see what i can do wihtout with a little hard work and will power.
also this helps in breaking the blogging deadlock that ive had for the last few days.

isco disco :-)

this time's isco's party promisies to be a good one. all the isco guys are working hard as liek th rpevious panels to make is a bigger success than last times. of course i am also involved closely this time although a week back i dint know that. i am doing the intro video and also the sound for the whole show. that will take some effort. i shud have to coordinate with the artists time and their cd's convert into mp3's etc.so cool, shud be fun. though i must admit the vlsi project has kinda gone into backburner.

arsenal's 49

arsenal has left a mark on me. considering that 49 is a number that i fancy, i have nevere evn thought that arsenal's run would be stopped at the 49th match. beleive me i wud like to see the 449th match unbeaten. but when they got stopped at 49 they are more of a team i stand and support esp after the way manu players have reacted on the pitch and mr riley(the referee) too. the list and link of the top goal scorers and most appearances are in the link. click on the title.
now this had to be blogged

naa autograph

after a long time i have seen a movie in telugu which seems to make sense and isnt bad. the movie, is of course already in tamil, stars ravi teja and few other actresses. it is basically a story of a person and the memories he has with all these ppl (mostly women ) and how they always seem to get away from him. he however turns out to be for the better thru the experience. iknow only bhoomika in that movie. the others i have nevere seen though they have a quality that makes u turn back once more just to look at the face. not beautiful. bhoomika looks good. but he other two have a look on their face that has been well put up.well done director dude.
:)
a smile on the face coz today we also got the usb core finally on the fpga to work.it has sent us the info. the lock singal was giving us trouble. thankfully we were saved a lot of trouble by not needing to go through the process of simulation in the core.

MANU v/s ARS

The annual spat between the two best premiership managers in EPL : Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson. I am myself an Arsene(al) Wenger fan. But its fascnitaing and the EPL wudnt be the same without these two fighting and bickering.

quotable quotes

amtrak has their monthly magazine for reading in their trains. while i was travelling on them i got hold of this article which has the title " RE-IMAGINE, IF YOU WILL.... - A reading list for history's other leading minds"
i am going to quote some of the names and thier "motto's"

• socrates (469-399 BC): answer every question with a question
• confucius (551-479 BC): be humble. learn. don't traust fast talkers.
• leif eriksson aka erik the viking (970-1020AD): vatch out for that iceberg! ( no spelling mistake in the v)
• niccolo machiavelli (1469-1527AD) : sometimes you have to step on a few heads to get to the top
• benjamin franklin (1706-1790): never fly a kite during a lightining storm
• sigmund freud (1856-1939): tell me about your mother, and I'll tell you about you
• mahatma gandhi (1869-1948): fight the good fight - without actually fighting

there you go!what do u think?

tv /dvd

we got a tv and dvd now. one of the first things we watched is a yankees-red sox game. and also the third debate in the presdential elections. the tv is an old one and we have to find the cable to fix the dvd and also a place to put these. as of now they are on the floor.

smoke all you can

keeping up with the tradiotion of travelling in the long weekends, we bewaarz, went to the smoky mountains in north carolina/tenessee.
we went to a lot of places. there were 9 of us. 2 cars . we dorve 550 miles each way
highlights of the trip:

• we met anjani on the way back thru lexington,ky
• we got to spend quailty time together and know each other more closely than we wanted probably.
• the lost sea (an underground cave of water abt 4.5 acres in size)intriguing
• ripley's acquarium where we saw fish of evry kind and even got to topuch some of them.
• the drive itself was a frenzy of excitement and anticipation
• me and srikanth have only temp's ( so sailu and vinay had to be with us all the time)
• vinay ran into the door of sailu's car while parking.ramki opened the door while vinay was parking.one of those freaky accidents. luckily we were completely covered thru enterprise
• we took almostr 700 photos. of which i have to go thru and sort and edit and filter etc etc before i can post them.

bewaarz consists of: me, chintu, vinay, sailu, srikanth, surendra, ramki,tilalk, ananth,midhun and inthe future anjani. of these surendra and anjani dint ocme with us. suren coz he was visiting friends in NH and anjnai coz he's in KY busy with assignment.so we visited him instead.

on the whole the trip was a success of sorts like every trip i undertake.

the mountains were amazing to look at. apart from the above stuff we also went hiking , camped in tents , eat from a grill(felafel-veggies and chicken-non-veggeis), dint take bath for 4 days as there are no facilities there.and a lot of stuff like that

update: i have put up the photos using banana album at http://www.eng.utoledo.edu/~sbhimava/my_photos/smoky/index.htm

springfield

ive been to the osc technical symposium over at their springfield office. it was held in the marriot. i learnt a lot of stuff and a lot of interesting ideas were presented by ppl at the lead of their respective fields within the fpga world. venki came with me and vince met us there.
the food was abundant.if nothing , i felt that i eat enough to cover my general fees that i paid at toledo. cray sposnered the event. cray gets money from osc. osc is made of colleges thru ohio. and ut is one of them. and i paid gen.fees at ut. so i paid for the food there indriectly. rather a very bad way of putting it.
