IIMB PGSEM PICNIC @ Club Cabana

A caricature session was done by Raghupati Sringeri (an extremely talented caricaturist) from 2 to 5 PM amongst the fun and frolic at Club Cabana last Sunday, 28th March!

Members of IIMB PGSEM (batches '07, '08 and '09) queued up to get their and their family members' caricatures done and the evening ended with special awards for the Most Enthusiastic Man & Woman!

Prior to that played some cricket in the hot sun after I dont remember how many years... and bowled well too! Got caught trying to bat; this was followed by some pin bowling; lunch was followed by soaking in the water pond, then the water rides and the tidal waves simulation. A whole day of downright fun ended with a couple of friends back home where we watched the movie 'Rann'.

Quantum Contrapt - Part 01

First short story in the 'CSlueth files' series. Note: This is purely a work of fiction! 1. The dead body Wednesday, Chalmers tekniska hogskola, 6:30 PM He had just walked out of the classroom in the V building. For the past forty five minutes he had been coding an exciting dynamic systems simulation after having completed a late and rather boring simulation exercises session class. He had to take the road in front of the Chalmers Bibliotek library as he wanted to meet a friend staying nearby. As he walked past the Information Sciences department building there was a gust of cold winter wind that struck his face and he raised the collars of this jacket, sinking in his chin into its warm, furry interiors. It was December and it would get dark really early. It was dark now and hardly anyone else around. He hummed a tune as he ran up the flight of stairs, the library was at an elevated level from the V building. He found himself humming some r...

DNA newspaper plagiarizes my photographs!

The newspaper DNA (Daily News and Analysis - http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore ) seems to have involved in not verifying its sources of photographs and having used my photographs (does this amount to plagiarism? I think it does) after it carried some of my pictures in the 'After Hrs' section of its newspaper on 31st January 2009, which I had taken at the IIMB Yamini 2009. It is good that they covered the event but they should have cited/verified the sources of the photographs. In all probability they or their sources just picked up the photos from my blog, with the belief that no one would notice anyways - seems they could not escape as luck would have it, I spotted them in the DNA paper on Saturday. It was early in the morning when as I flipped open the last page of the supplement that I was stunned to see my pics, which I was able to recognize immediately - however there were no credits anywhere in sight! Please check the photos below from the e-paper version on their website...
