WAKE ME UP AT 8.00 AM. . .

Many times I leave a note for my mother, which tells her at what time to wake me up. Yesterday, I thought, let me write her a different kind of note - a poetic one. So I wrote her this, at 2.30 am (after studying Computer Architecture):

Before you come to wake me up, WAIT!
Owing to my sleeping late,
Plz wake me up at eight!
And while you are waking me up,
I hope to give you least trouble,
and I promise, not to grumble. . .
This is the best that I can think of,
When my eyes have begun to close,
But I thought it'd be better,
to start your day with a poem,
rather than the usual prose!

And she liked it!

Wow, what a coincidence! Everybody liked it!!!
Thanks, Smitha, Sudh, K! Your appreciation means a lot, it takes care of the Leo in me. But watch out! If you say you liked this poem of mine, there'll be more coming... Maybe I'll post all my earlier poems too! Right from 1st std...
Sudh, no, I don't read Hamacher, whoever he is.

I'm waiting, I'm waiting.

Your poems will do me good. They will take care of my lonely boring nights, all alone on the internet, waiting for somethign to happen. Some activity, just some activity. If you post, I'll have something to read!

Jeez... whatever that was ;-)

The other day, Sat sends me a text msg at 10 a.m or there abouts which read "wake me up at 2:30". I'm still trying to figure out what that meant and if it was for me, or her bf which got to me by mistake.

And with the rotten manners i got, I still haven't called her up and asked whom that was for. If it was for me, the poor thing didn't get woken up,but then again that was the first time. I'm still waiting to be enlightened on the subject. Now I know what they mean when they say, "ACK, and you shall receive"!

D.. I didn't read his book either :) Read just the notes which our assistant prof gave us.

Do you mean Hamacher (or whoever) is an author for Computer Architecture? I thought it had something to do with Dan's poetry!

K, ROTFL. I am such a lazy guy that I read books just to fall in sleep. And u r asking me abt poetry...? :)

LOL! I too thought Hamacher was someone who wrote poetry like me! (Let's hope his Computer Architecture book had something poetic in it :P)
Sudh, we read good old Bhutiyani, I'm sure you've never heard of him.
K, how are the preparations coming along?

Yeah sudhakar, we read Bhutiyani, although the university recommends some guy called Hwang and another fellow called Briggs. But then again when you read those guys you get your share of daily humour, like they're not going to talk of *genuine* data dependency. If there is some dependency, it would have to be genuine... I can't see anyone designing some pipeline for alleged dependency!

So there, you will never get such genuine(!) pearl of wisdom from the original foreign texts, and so we read Bhutiyani. Its a different issue I don't even do that, but then again, no one gets grades as screwed up as mine either :D

Danny, af far as preparations go, I'm still (as always) on Ground Zero, hoping to make some progress today! Hope, is the keyword, one that makes the world go round!

"Hope, is the keyword, one that makes the world go round!" - reminded me of Cape of Good Hope, the opening of a route to the east.

K, I also found one more reference to hope from Smaraa's signature.
That there's a small place inside of us they can never lock away, and that place is called hope.
- Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption

Thanks so much Sudhakar... Thats a lot of hope for me. I shall use it at the earliest possible :-)
