Stub: A Collection of Best Bits of Lyrics – Part II, U2 ed.


“And every shipwrecked soul knows what it is

“Are we so helpless against the tide?”                                                  ~ Every Breaking Wave

 The sea throws rock together but time leaves us polished stones”                ~OrdinaryLove

Placement Season Log 2025

This is a retrospective log/account of my placement season (2025) at IITB. 1. Resume Rush : July-August: My 2-page core elec/ semiconductors resume looked good. I scrambled at the last moment to put together a 1 page non-core resume. I am semi-satisfied with the latter, as I made an inadvertent error. However the proof verification process allowed me to upload an updated resume, so all's good.  Note: Experience now shows that this is actually an incredibly important time, especially for consult domain job seekers and for other roles which mainly have resume shortlisting. Even in tech and core it often goes down to the wire and your resume can make or break it for you. Thus this becomes a very crucial phase of the process . 2. Incentive Points & PPTs : Post-midsem : This is a warm-up to the placement season. Incentive points are clerical needs of the PT cell that you are expected to satisfy. This time it involved taking domain-wise assesments on a platform called pod.ai. This a...

The OG list of Iconic Food Experiences (INCOMPLETE)

Image
This list contains places I visited that were either: 1. The birthplace of a food item or a product; 2. Incredibly popular for a particular dish; 3. Is an iconic food institution; 4. Home to an industry FMCG giant All of these are more or less top notch places. Like literally 10/10 must-haves. There might be places that are a shell of their former glory, but I'll be gracious enough to indicate. DEVANGERE  | KARNATAKA | INDIA Shri Guru Kottureshwara Butter Dosa Hotel Devangere, Karnataka, India What: Devangere-style Butter (Benne) Dosa  My Take: There are a lot of great dosas in the world. Crispy, thin, foldy, long, soft, masala, Mysore Masala, Rava, and on and on and on. And while that may be good, you are entitled to have your preferences - stop right there. The best type of dosa is the Devangere-style Benne Dosa. Why? There's no compromise. You get insane flavour. You get BOTH crispy and soft textures (mind already blown) in the same dosa. And oh the buttery goodness of tha...

Connexions by AB

This stub entry serves the dual purpose of documenting a phase of obsession in my life with NYT's Connections word game, and at the same time, memorializing a trio of college mates with whom I discussed the puzzle every day for almost an entire semester. If they read this, they know who they are. Cheers, A and S! In the recent past, my imagination has been gripped by the New York Times' viral sensation word game, Connections. It has become an affliction of sorts of mine to daily break my head over this puzzle; although the varying difficulty also causes you to feel a different genre of annoyance, succinctly expressed by the thought "Why was this too easy today?" accompanied by a momentary feeling of emptiness, because mentally you plan to allocate a certain amount of time to the thrill of solving the puzzle, and you then can't help but feel short-changed when the lack of complexity leads to a zippy solution. You won, but you feel lost. At the peak of my obsession ...
