A lot of people asked me how London's treating me. Well, London's been pretty nice to me, atleast till now. Its been just two weeks, so not yet time to draw any conclusions. One thing I like is that we can see all kind of people here, from different cultures, from different parts of the world; and they are everywhere! Second thing is the freedome one has. Everyone's busy, trying to keep their lives running, so they dont really have time to bother others. When in a crowded street, you can experience it. Everyone's walking/running very fast, not even looking at the sides. Tourists are an exception And not to ask about the climate. Its really dull, you dont see the sun much. Its already very cold, and to add to the dullness, it rains sometimes! Soon winter will be taking its toll and the sun would then be coming! Eagerly waiting for that..

Anyway, its really weird that I haven't taken any good photos yet. Maybe its time I should start clicking them and putting them online.

Today, Aug15th, we celebrate our 59th Independence day in India (India became independent in 1947)

Domain names have always been my fascination. If I'm right, my first domain name was kailashbn.com, which got FREE from namezero.com in 2002 or something. After that, I have had many a number and most of them disappeared with time.. Let me try to list out the ones i remember

Yep, its been 10 years since Yahoo has been online. I bet there is no single Kid in this world who knows what internet is but not Yahoo. Such Yahoo's popularity. Yahoo emerged as a hobby site and its now one of the biggest companies in the world. From College to Multi Billion $$ company. Phew..

I clearly remember, when I logged on to the internet in 2000, for the first time ever in my life, the first thing I did was visit my ISP's site. And believe it or not, the next thing i did was goto Yahoo.com ! WOW!

Ok, now all of my practical (board) exams are over. The computer exam was damn easy. I was asked to write a program to check whether a number is palindrome or not in C++ . Did that in minutes

But there was a small problem. The program wouldn't just work when you input numbers starting with 0, say 0112110. That happened because the stupid C++ thinks that numbers beginning with 0s are HEX values. I hate C++

Anyway, the overall exam was easy and I hope to get 97% to 99%

Now the big ones are coming, my theory exams. I'm scared. March 09th is just 9 days away!

Today has been a busy day for me. From morning 10 AM to evening 4.30 PM, I was at Unni's house, trying to study physics. But it didnt work out as good as expected. Infact, a full day got wasted I am now somewhat worried as the second terminal examination beings the coming Wednseday and I have an ocean of lessons to study !

Yesterday also I didnt study a single lesson as my friends (Azif, Rohith, Unni, Shaheer) were at my house and all we did was eat, play, fight and have fun

Also, this week, boastology.com was defaced by hackers many a times That really gave me a lot of tension and it ate many of my precious hours. Anyway, I've fixed everything and I hope everything goes fine from now onwards.

Hoping for the best...
