'The month of' February

 The month of the big 'L' word - LOVE, but for me it was a totally different 'L' word this month; laziness had got a very firm grip on me. Nothing was more pleasing than the company of my sweetheart, my bed. Everything seems perfect when you just lie down and go floating away into the awesome hazy world... just love it!

I didnt have a very good start to the month, didnt expect it either 'cause I was having my mid sems right in the beginning. All my preparations went in vain; none of the tests showed mercy, well except comp sci (I love that subject)! The results arent out yet, but I have this very eerie feeling that they arent going to make me smile.

We had the all expected technical fest - ENIGINEER. Sadly it wasnt as great as it was claimed it would be(supposedly the second best technical fest in India). Well but there were a few events like the laser show, velocity, automata, robot show, perfect machine, hook line sinker which did justice to the 2nd place. Another fest, a cultural one, is coming up this week; I hope this one atleast lives up to all the hype that is being created.

Just when the hostel was looking like a good place to live in, the problems start kicking in. This time it is water problem. Hours of no water and just 18 bathrooms for around 320 students is a perfect recepie for nightmare. This was the perfect time for me to be creative and thus was written 'The 101 Ways to Escape from Bath' (selling like hot cakes... do buy)! Just to give you a hint of the book, here is a tip - When you feel too lazy to stand beside a dripping tap, why not try the awesome pool that you have in your college! It serves both the purposes; you end up clean and you have fun too!

I finally visited the beach this semester and it was just as gorgeous as ever. The sunset always leaves me in an awww....


Amazing place to sit and watch the sun.














Its so awesome to have beach in the college!

Ambigram : Swap

This was for a friend of mine. It took me sometime to figure out how to put the 'w' and 'a' together 'cause I was just starting to draw back then. After going through a couple of other ambigrams I decided on this style.

Ambigram : Computer

When you see the cover page of 'Angels & Demons', what do you notice. With any doubt I can say that your answer is the awesome ambigram that is printed on the cover! A masterpiece I must say. Any layman would surley be carried away by the idea that you can actually write words such that they look the same even when inverted. 

I was totally amazed by the way John Langdon had created those ambigrams. They were not only good looking bt mainly they were legible(the hardest part in making of an ambigram)! I tried my hand in this and surprisingly I didnt find myself very bad at that ( ;) I consider myself good at everything!). 

As of now I have made around 6 to 7 of them and i love every single creation. My best creation yet is that of 'computer' , which was created thanks to my computer teacher in NITK, who always gave ample of time for absolutely anything you wanted to do! I have put the ambigram over here:
