Harry Potter
Saw the movie today and it was very very good. In fact so good that I came out disappointed. But then, all Harry Potter movies except for the first have done that to you, or a few of you anyway. The few being the ones who’ve read the book.
I won’t go on and on about how bad they’ve executed it, but let me just tell this. A Fred and George product shown in the movie, is next shown (nearly similar) to be used by Voldemort in his fight against Dumbeldore. Heh, that was the only part I smiled at 
People going to watch it anyhow better find something to do in the first half, cause its gonna be one long and slow ride till the intermission. Am pretty sure almost all the book readers aren’t gonna like the way they’ve changed things in the movie. Agreed its got to be shorter but the critical magical elements like the Fountain, for example, was missed. And Fred and George’s escape could have been a lot better than just fireworks and that little something Voldemort copies later. 
Dumbeldore’s escape wasn’t as cool as described in the book, either. Alright, I’ll stop, go watch and enjoy. 
Sorry
This must’ve been my longest break from blogging perhaps, half a month. Am really sorry, but I had just lost interest in doing anything worthwhile online. My feed reader counts the unread at 700+, let’s see how fast I finish that up.
So my second year in B.Tech IT has started off (6th July). It’s going pretty good till now. Here are my subjects this semester:
- Object Oriented Programming (Lab included)
- Data Structures (Lab included)
- Mathematics - III
- Signals and Systems (Lab included)
- Digital Principles and System Design
- Principles of Communication
For those interested in reading the contents of my syllabus, you can download it here.
Off these subjects, I didn’t quite like Principles of Communication. And yeah, the order of the subjects I’ve written above is based on most and least favorites 
Anyway, now that I feel like putting something up here, you can expect things like features in Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10), some weird cool news and so on ..
