The Dust Bin

Filed under: Uncategorized — Hrishikesh @ 23:16

This is going to be a weird post.
 
There is a new shiny dust bin, or if you want to call it that, the collective karchra peti, to dump garbage from the various societies, collected by the kachra-walli, typically found on the roadside, provided by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.
 
Anyway, this new shiny dust bin that I talk about, is really shiny. It’s metallic gray and blue. Well, it is metallic gray, not aluminium gray but steel gray. That explains the shiny part. And it is encased in some sort of a HDPE trolley, which is painted blue.
 
It looks damn smart, is very compact, and can be picked up and the garbage eaten up by the Yellow Garbage Compactor. But I digress.
 
The whole point of this blog post was to comment on the new shiny dust bin, which the BMC has gladly given a number. And that number is (no, not 42, that is rapidly becoming a cliché) 1024.
 
Well, that’s such a perfect power of 2. I could not resist blogging about it. I mean, come on, it’s a new shiny dust bin… But what a number! 1024!
 
Oh ok, I did say this was going to be a weird post.
 
=========================
 
UPDATES:
  • I am going to be jacked by my project mentor. Nothing done, absolutely nothing done in quite some time!
  • Swapneel got a 1510 in his GRE.
  • Started off with JSP today. Beans too!
  • Going to attend a two-day workshop on Embedded Systems organised by the IEEE Gujarat Section and DA-IICT on 24th and 25th of September. Details here. The basic problem is procuring train tickets!
  • Was going to blog about something far more serious here, but will push it for some other time now. Maybe I won’t even blog about it, it’s kinda personal.
  • Sagar’s hair has been feeling strange since quite some time now. I have no clue why.
  • My college decided to clear some 10 odd people who were massacred by the Sem 6 results. Good job. Congrats to those who cleared.
And now, with more sleep deprivation than ever, I end this blog post.

  • Ah yes - the famous 1729 = 10^3+9^3 = 12^3+1^3 story...

    For those who don't get maths - it's the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of two cubes in two ways...

    DA-IICT has quite a few topcoders - I suspect some of them might do embedded systems, so you should run into a few...

    Sent congrats to Swapneel - that's the highest score I've seen in a while. Was seriously tired of hearing of classmates and other ppl score in the 1200-1450 range...

    As for Sagar's hair, I forgot to tell him in coll, but the problem clearly lies in their roots, since the rest of the hair lacks a connection to the nervous system, thereby making it impossible for his hair to feel strange - or feel anything else for that matter...

    Clearing 10 ppl - that's really something. I'd offer congratulations, but they're probably still reeling from the shock...

    Sleep deprivation - there's something I can sympathize with! Only four days of college a week - and I'm still sleep-deprived! For the past three years, I occasionally took a nap on the bus to or from college. Now I do it every single day...
  • I remeber some story about Ramanujan analysing a taxicab number. Seems you are headed that way too.
