One of the Articles Written by my Batchmate -Siddhart
http://www.facebook.com/Siddharth.Fofo.Janarthanan
If I am to talk about women based on the experience with my mother, I would have to say they are extraordinarily (sometimes irritatingly) stubborn, supremely far-sighted, thankfully atheistic and with an amusingly messy room. But my mother does not represent the world of women. She is just one oddly wondrous piece among millions of other equally amazing ones. And that is how everybody feels about their mother. Whatever said and done, as long as mothers exist in this world, women will never lose their place in the hearts of all, irrespective of gender. Does that mean this writer thinks motherhood to be the sole attribute and purpose of womanhood? Of course not. I have just said motherhood is one attribute of women that no one cannot think of; a forte no man can ever take up for himself.
History is full of examples of outstanding women across all known human fields. Science, politics, arts, sports, religion, administration, education have all had the privilege of having been shaped and nourished by hundreds of astoundingly inspiring and courageous women. My own personal favourite is Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen of England who revolutionised the English way of life against many odds and established the country’s Golden Age. A highly passionate and resolute monarch with brilliant administrative capabilities, she reached the heights that none of her predecessors nor successors (male or female) matched up to.
It is well known that women have had a tumultuous standing in society. It is believed that in the ancient civilisations, men and women were considered socially equal, but somewhere in the middle, things changed. And not for the good. Women faced repurcussions just about everywhere; inside the house, at the work places, in the arts etc. The feminist movement then came into being, to bring about gender equality. Its been a long process and its still ongoing, and thankfully things are changing. While true gender equality will be achieved only with a fundamental shift in the society’s perception of women, policies are being made in the right direction.
Sadly, in the developing Asian countries, I feel women, more often than not, are their own biggest obstacles to overcome in order to achieve liberation. Many a time, I have seen families where the girl’s own mother, aunts and grandmothers end up being the most prominent dream-snuffers and oppressors. One would think that these women will be the beacons of hope who will provide the support they never got, to the girls, but unfortunately that’s not the case.
So what do I think of women? Well, they come in all shapes and sizes and shades alright. Pretty things with an astounding depth of heart (men do too, but they aint that pretty if I may say so). They are the only species on the planet who physically torture themselves to look good; and have such hope and tenacity they put me to shame. The one thing that I will not say about them is that, “they complete men” or, they are “the perfect balance for men” etc. I find the idea of attributing their very existence and purpose to support men or complete them highly offensive. And well, also because, men are quite complete themselves :D

2nd Year - 2nd Semester
First Day at NTU
Senior : Which Course ?
Me: CE
Senior : Full Form Nahi Aaata ?
Me: Computer Engineering
Senior: Kaha se hai ?
Me: Ranchi
Senior : Acha Bihari hai ?
Me: nahi , Jharkhandi ( I shouldn't have said that)
Acha chal CE meh hai isiliye chor raha hoon.
This was the respect or you may call it sympathy you get from people when they come to know that you are in CE. This is all due to just one Semester. Which is - 2.2. It has become my slogan kind. 2.2 hai yaar!!
A semester where other non CE Students get angry as you generally don't go clubbing with them. Your batchmates become sarcastic if you are not seen for a few days.Mom-Dad finally start realizing the distance inspite of Skype and phone. Brother feels amzazed that how come I dont get enough time even to make a phone call. GirlFriend is happy with saying the three Ultimate Words that a GirlFriend says that makes you feel so happy. Any guesses? No, I am not talking about expressing those words of love, but I am talking about " KOI BAAT NAHI".
This semester you are given two bags. Both of them equally interesting when you go to issue them initially with lot of LEDs. You also have to make Public Bus Simulator which is fine but when you have a Canadian Professor then it makes it worse. Besides this you have subject like Operating System which I hardly consider as part of this semester's workload, not because its damn easy but I hardly get time to realize its presence.
This is not it. At this stage, you are expected to have a lot of knowledge about different companies around Singapore. This is the time you are also expected to apply for Industrial Attachment( A semester long internship in the 3rd Year, Sem1/2). The only hope for some rest is the coming Summers. Oh wait. Don't you wish to do something fruitful this summer?How can you waste the summer. So,time to sacrifice your India Visit. Time to Sacrifice the food that gives you orgasm even when you even think about it. Time to sacrfice everything you wish to do in Summers(Censored).
Is studying everything? Is finishing your projects enough. Oh wait! You wont get an on campus accommodation if you don't go for ECA's. With the shitty system, hardly anyone expects getting a room except if you have won some elections and have enough points.
This is one of the Projects that I did this semester. A Micro-controller Project, Kinect sensors were the additional feature I used which was the coolest thing for the Proff.

Lesson 1: Naked Wife
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,…
“Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the administration clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii,relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”
Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 3
A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”
Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Lesson 4
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him,”Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.
A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.
Lesson 5: Power of Charisma
A turkey was chatting with a bull “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.
Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Moral of the story:
1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!
