A Brief Introduction

So this is it the first, rather the second time i'm writing about myself on this piece of trap (The first one got lost somewhere).
Well, starting it off more formally, i'm a simple, cool boy (obviously). Good in sleeping, eating and shi----- (you not what). Besides that i have a lot of interest in computers and am presently doing something crazy with the finite knowledge that i have. Being an electrical engineer is never so easy, as you know you will have to toil very hard throught the day and in the end what you get is a shock, a HV(High Voltage) shock, which makes you believe that it was better sittting at my home and doing nothing.This blog, I believe, is going to bring in me lot'z and lot'z of luck. This is the place i will be quoting all the daily life experience and the rigmarole of an Engineering student. I aim to develop a circle of friends whose thinking strategy synchronizes with mine. Let's see how many of you are out there. In a billion i expect a few to be like myself though.
Beside these is something else too i'll be talking about the IT and the ITes world and don't be too shocked too see some of the most interesting and fascinating computer developments articles being produced out here.Well one thing assured out there that the computer lovers will be glued too this blog, I promise.
So all you guys and gals be ready as there is a hotspot comming in your way, in a few days. Till then Keep enjoying and Keep Rocking...
