Knee deep in SEA

I was busy lately with all my projects and class assignments, so I could not post any stuff in the past week.
Well, 3 days ago was truly a great evening. I submitted all my works and my game(on which i've been working since May). After that me and my friends(Manas, Jefery, Matachan, Vikram n Sisneh) went to beach. Its been almost an year since I am in Chennai and I went to beach some 4-5 times in total, but never experienced how it feels to be in(or to touch) sea water.
Like perverts we were watching other couples making out on the beach, they were unaware of the world. ;) It was gr8....
Well, me n jeff(Jefery) removed our shoes n folded our jeans till knees n ran for the wave.
Neither do I know swimming, nor did Jefery knew. HAH! It was 8:30pm and we were knee deep in Sea. The waves were beating up against us. I am not afraid of water and on that particular evening I was enjoying a lot. It was almost half hour since we were playing in water and I finally decided to get out of water. While leaving I saw a couple kissing, they were the same ones whom I saw kissing some 30-40 minutes before....I was wondering that how people can go on kissing for this much time. It suddenly came to my mind that the record of longest kiss is 46hrs(or 48hrs, not sure).
We hired an auto-rickshaw and went back to our hostel. We all were tired.....That night, I got a nice sleep and I saw dreams of people kissing. Ehhh....Why can't I kiss in my own dreams??!!
That's all for now. I am gonna play WoW(World of Warcraft).

Adios....
Take Care all.
Have a GR8 NIGHT.

Insomnia

I rarely sleep these days. The projects are taking my sleep away. Its not because of tension. The matter is I've been given a lot of work. I just want this semester to end and then I wanna go home. I'll sleep in my own room and for as many hours as I like; this thought makes me sleepy, but I can't....Ahhh....
Earlier I used to be one of those who loved to work at night(graveyard shift :D ), but after coming to Chennai I became dull(though i still finish n submit my works on time) coz of the heat n humidity. I feel sleepy but still I can't sleep. The room is not comfortable, the bed roars(n makes various other sounds) whenever I get on it. My room-mates are jerks. One of them thinks that other people in this universe have some kinda hearing disability, so instead of speaking he shouts. Second guy laughs at random situations & occasions and the third makes stupid jokes about other students' English speaking ability, but when his time comes to speak something in English, I have to translate what he speaks for others to understand. I don't know whats wrong with him. He has one lazy eye. He scares me with his toothy grin and his eye. I've never been lucky with room-mates.
I just want this semester to end as soon as possible, so I can go home n rest in peace.
That's all for now.
Take care all.
Adios.

Design for Game Development

My projects are killing meeeeee...........
As a game Development student I am being forced to concentrate more on ART/DESIGN than on Programming.
This is one thing i hate about my college.
According to me a programming student should concentrate on writing codes and solving problems logically.
Basic knowledge of Art wont kill, but why sooooo much of ART n DESIGN STUFF!!!???
I tried to address this problem of mine(n also of all the Game Development students) to our head of college, but he never gave a convincing answer. He always dismissed the meetings and never gave a solution for this problem. I need a convincing answer.
I don't understand what has gotten in to the minds of my college's administrative department!!!!
They are telling the staff to teach us ART n DESIGN stuff....Its been almost an year and what I've learned till this date is - What a Pixel Art is and how to create one on Graph sheet.
I also learned what is actually an Object Oriented Programming. The classes for this programming module was over within two weeks.
Programming module for Game Development students lasted for two weeks and Design module for Game Development students is still in progress(its been almost an year).
My projects concentrate more on design. Programming part is almost nothing in it.
I sometimes get irritated, but still I do what I am told to.....
