16th August 2011.

All of the country seems to be sitting on a boiling pot named “JAN LOKPAL BILL”.  The way Congress launched venomous campaign against Anna Hazare , it clearly shown Congress in a bad light and also Indian democracy. All the Congress spokesperson talked like they are in a Akhada and willing to do any rada. The senior minister like Kapil Sibbal , Ambika Soni were totally out of their conscience.

               Even today in the parliament Congress  party MLA’s were adamant that the house will not run. What message this act of cowardice give?  People should remind that these are the people whom they elect. How come common people believe that the bill will pass unscathed?

               It is the rulling party who has all the right, what bill they will present. Cleary I felt ashamed to witness all this, in a country where democracy is the supreme.

                If at all congress felt that the proposed bill is not worthy, then let us have a fair parliament session, why govt is so afraid of the bill , since they have all the ultimate power.

                Even Anna said that, Parliament is supreme authority. They just want to make sure that the support for this bill will grow.

Enter: SAS

          Based on my experience at University (Dept. and Hostel) I wrote few SAS codes….( Don’t  try these codes at home. :))

1.      Refractory:- Earlier the only way out for food was Refractory. The food used to be too awesome! (Pun intended). After few months even you can predict which vegetable you going to get served.

Data Refractory;

                Set  Univ.refractory;

                if vegetable = “green”  then

                put=’impossible event’;

run;

2.       Grades:-

Proc format lib=marks;

                Value grade

                <40 = ‘F’

        40-45=’E’

       45-50=’D’

      50-55=’C’

     55-65=’B’

    65-75=’A’

     >75  = ‘O’

;

Run;

Data grade_sheet;

                Set grades_details;

Format  marks  grade. ;

Put= last.subject;

Run;

OUTPUT:              E  D  C  E  E……E  D  F

                                D  D  C  E  E……E  D  F

                                A  D  C  E  E……F  D  E

                                E  D  C  E  E……E  D  F

                                E  F  F  F  E…… F  D  F.

                                Life contingency.

 

3.       Tiffin:-  Pay anything, quality and quantity will remain intact.

Proc  Optimize data= tiffin;

                Var     limited_subji   paperthin_chapati   tiffin_time;

Time=scan(tiffin_time,1,1);

If time < 9 then;

run;

Output:  The dataset contains zero observations.

4.        Girls Cricket Team :- Being a coach for 2 years, it was real fun to work with

                                      Them.( No pun intended…Lol)

Proc report data=Gcricket;

                Define number / max  ‘No of players interested in playing’;

Run;

Output:  No of players interested in playing= 12.

(Selection criteria were very tough. :) )

          

They say its 25, and here......

THE LAST DAY!

  Today is the official last day of my academic carrier. Its not like, i am not going to appear for Actuary paper, but its end of an so called exam era.

                    I am so happy today that henceforth i don't have to suffer the enigma of my irregular study pattern. What i observe in last few days of my academic life is that, i just don't study unless and until it becomes inevitable. So i was pretty relaxed for this exam. I studied Risk theory, Econometrics, finance and survival on the last day only. It was thrilling experience. ( not for faint hearted) All papers were good, and i have gained a world of confidence that given any topic i can crack it in a day or two! 

                 Now since exams are over, the frenetic job search starts immediately. I got to brush up some Statistics and i am sure i will be through. I will miss this relaxed lifestyle a lot. Even during exam period i managed to finish "Durgbhramangatha" by Go Ni Dandekar. Masterpiece!

PS: Next assignment- Raigad.

Motorcycle Diaries 1.0

After finishing my internal I headed straight back to my home. Yeah, literally I was desparatily in search of a place where I can find point blank chaos.


This morning I returned to Pune, but this time I was with my OGF ( old good friend) Sandip, he brought his bike to home and we were travelling back to Pune. We all love long rides a lot. Last June I went to Matheran on a bike with few friends, it was hell of a ride. This time though we weren’t test the speedometer much, but in all it was fun.

The road was all too smooth, ( strange but true!) We stopped at Saradwadi, near Shirur. The place is famous for Bhel and misal. We had them. It was really good, still the taste is lingering on my lips. (Considering the fact that I am a stern critic of food).

We also went to Mahaganapati at Ranjangaon. It was serene. Felt enchanted out there.



PS: This time I didn’t had my camera, loved to click some shots. Anyways next 2.0 will be more interesting.

काळेभोर डोळे
अन हसरा चेहरा
लाघवी हास्य
अन खट्याळ नजरा
वेड लावी साऱ्या चराचरा | 


जणू काही ठाव नसे असा अविर्भाव
अरे हट !
साफ झूठ,
हि तर जाणिते सर्व तंत्र-मंतरा |

Curious case of Bablu.

We may all wonder that what happened with Bablu so that all of a sudden he is behaving like a guy from other planet! ( yeah, tanu u heard that) So here is in depth analysis done by our own Unipune’s Suresh Kalmadi .

I think that you people are quite aware that, since he has extend his semester, so I his own books he may find it difficult to mix with people who are passing out this june. So question may come up, what about other group? Don’t they going to pass out on the same date? Yeah, according to BCUD rule its right. But still he may want to change his taste. (here conversation type) One hint that Bablu given to his own departure from the group is that , people has changed!( again tanu) I think, he is right. People change every second. If we see through the biology aspect and some application of statistics every second we create dead cells, growth of different species leads to changes every second. So I vehemently support Bablu. People changed.

Other reason he cited for departure is that there is no fun remain in this group. Yeah he is right, because of company of other so called highly intellectual and witty people, there is high probability that his sense of humor peaked new scale. And jokes you people shared in your group are just nonsense. ( chandan jokes!!!)
Also one allegation is that, old group people don’t explore much. (Places like Good luck!!!) . Yes he is right. Change is only constant thing in this universe. One of my ex-student from 2001 batch left his house and went to Gujarat because he didn’t like the taste of water out here. See, this example. People can go to such level; he is just leaving your group. I damn support him. In fact I will tell him to write a letter to Vice-chancellor and propose some innovative ideas like swimming pool in the dept, CCD besides OC…1 number idea.

No adventure remains in old group. I think he is right. You people showed a lot of promise by trekking Rajgad and Harishanadragad in the beginning but it wasn’t enough. Promise has to be like a 5 year plan. You should follow it throughout your MSc. So you can’t blame him to shift his focus to more adventurous (!) people.

The reason cited for departure is that, there is dearth of innovation. out of box names like, zingarya papya , chandan, madan, nandan, sunandan, vandan, sadan, harbhajan.
So I think that, you people has to raise your bar in order to stand in front of Bablu. Mind it!!!

PS: This post contains lots of mystic fragrances. I, being amateur, tried my hand at something different. I appreciate the fact that people understood me, it happens; because of some constraints my hands were tied. Though, I tried my best. I have full respect for those people whom I mentioned in the post. This was just a stress buster!!! Love you all :)
