All these days I was blind, dumb and stupid. I had no perception of the truth, no idea of the task at hand and no clue of what I stepping (or rather running) into. Today has changed everything for me. Now, I can visualise, sense and foresee. I know how long the distance is and I have rough idea of the time it would take me to reach and believe me I can see myself crossing the finishing line.
Are u surprised of this sudden change in my thought process? Well, anyone would be except for me because this is the way I approach things. I am sure even you wanna know how? Okie, heres the recipe...
Ingredients: Stopwatch and Map.
Procedure: I got up and reached Sea View Hotel (near Pizzeria, Churchgate) the first destination on the map after CST. I jst love this place and believe me I have sat at this very place on Marine Drive for hours (with a cousin of mine, not wid a gal bcoz I dnt have a GF but I do intend to 😉 ). Did sit there for around 5 mins just to get a feel of environment. Now the actual thing starts. I jst started my stopwatch and started walking towards my destination (Mela Restaurant) on the map from where we take a U-Turn return to the start (finishing line). Simple isn't it.
How it looks after all this:
Marine Drive to Chowpatty end: 47 mins (-14 mins bcoz i went the wrong way)
Chowpatty end to Kemps Corner Flyover: 11 mins
Kemps Corner Flyover to Jaslok Hospital: 3 mins
Jaslok Hospital to Mahalaxmi Temple: 3 mins
Mahalaxmi Temple to Haji Ali: 3 mins
Haji Ali to Nehru Center (Haji Ali sea face): 12 mins
Nehru Center to Mela Restaurant (Under flyover adjacent to Poonam Chambers): 8 mins
Total: 1 hr. 28 mins. (Considering I start from CST and do not take a wrong lane)
I m not going to discuss this with my friends because it plays on my mind. Also, I must add that they have been so sweet, esp. because they find the distance tooOoo much but they have a feeling that I would surely be able to make it. BTW: My Mom feels I would make it!.
The bottom line is that today I know what I have got myself into.

Yup this semester is officially now over. Our project vivas finally got over.
A Few highlights though:
- I feel the slides I made jst RoCkD !!!
- Amiya Sir offered me coffee and I readily accepted it (shameless me !)
- Amiya Sir rcommended our project as being something new and different (Thnks Sir).
- Manav started the presentation and after a few slides the external asked for a break and we offcourse agreed. So, Manav did start everything again. (ya and now without any loop holes)
- Surprisingly, the external was knowledgeable (LoL)
- The external demanded an Architecture diagram of the project frm all our previous proj grps and they didnt have any clue of it. They tried to divert his attention by showing him all sorts of diagrams bt this guy just insisted on an Architectrue diagram. On the other hand I designed on one diagram in our project which was the Architecture diagram. (( ;-))
- Convinced him about the implementation details and the rest (was the easiest part)
- The external said GOOD at the end of our presentation (I wanted to shout Yes! loudly bt I jst let that moment pass... self-control hahaha)
- Jst did wait for the last two presentations to get over. Good we did bcoz by the last presentation none of the students were there and the external was full throtle screwing the last grp(contrary to belief voh pak gaya hoga)... even the principal joined in. I m sure if we wudnt have been there toh yeh log unko khaa jaate (...support)
