No !! I won't fix your computer !

"Dude, my computer's busted, can you fix it?"

"Hey, do you know why my computer won't boot up?"

"I keep getting this same error message, what's the deal?"

Have you heard any of these before? Well I have, and if you have a hobby with computers or a Gamer or passionate about computers, chances are you have too. This may come as a surprise to many people, because they believe that if I cannot fix their computer, then I don't know a lick about computers. I'll get the usual responses:

"Aren't you good at it? Obviously not a very good one!"

"Don't people pay you to do this? You're the only friend I have dude"

All this time I've been passionate about "Computers", but I'm really just a know-nothing without a computer science degree. For a while I mistakenly believed this, and thought that I should know how to fix a computer. So, I started reading up on some troubleshooting practices and the like, but I did it because I liked it, not because I thought I should be doing it.

I spent a good part of my college years trying to help people with their computer problems, but then I realized something...I am neither a computer repairman nor networking consultant. I did not spend my time studying computer diagnosis, network troubleshooting, virus prevention/recovery, VPN thingy, Windows specifics, nor anything associated with computer repair. It was natural to me to get to the root cause. So get it through your head, I won't fix your computer!! So here's an answer to all the questions:

"Dude, my computer's busted, can you fix it?" - - Google "yourself" !!, Yes literally Google "YourName"

"Hey, do you know why my computer won't boot up?" - - Google your BIOS setting !!

"I keep getting this same error message, what's the deal?" - - Google the error !!

"Aren't you good at it? Obviously not a very good one!" - - Then "DIY" -- Bug off!!

LOL !! Did I actually write that..?? :D

The 4-year holiday called engineering...!!!

The 4-year holiday called engineering


20 things common to all engg colleges:


1). The lecturers dont teach.The students dont study.The only guy who benefits is the one who owns the 'dhaba' next to the college.

2).Rules are made to be broken.

3).Promises are made to be broken.

4).Deadlines are made to be extended...ALWAYS!

5).Guys always think the chics in the college next lane are more beautiful.

6).The geeks are the most pampered lot during the internal exams.

7)The lab assistants are the most respected people(during the lab exams i.e)

8).The watchmen are the people most bribed.

9).The HOD is the person most respected(heights of sycophancy here).

10).The principal is the person most abused and insulted(behind the back i.e)

11).Dropping subjects is 'cool'.(drop the idea of dropping subjects plzz).

12).There is always a lecturer in the college who cant speak proper 'english'.

13).Night-out is the second most important tool to ace the exams.

13).The most important tool..the bhramastra..is the 'chit' in which the words can be understood only by the person who wrote them(in most of the cases i.e)

14).The freshers are the most sought after..be it in the canteen,the 'free' periods or for completing the records,assignments.

15).The seond-years are the ones with the 'I am the don-of-the-college' feeling.

16).The third years are the ones with the 'so-many-backlogs' feeling and the poor souls get down to studying after bossing around in the college for so long.but the fun still continues.(I gave 19 exams last year!!).

17).The fourth years have no connection with the college whatsoever...with no interest in ragging,pulling each other`s legs,the bday parties,the bday bums et al which they enjoyed so much till now.All they want is a good placement and a '1st-class' tag attached to their memo.

19).The first three years are spent in cursing the college,the people there,the system et al.

20).But towards the end of the fourth year,people tend to feel nostalgic abt the pure unadulterated fun they have had for 4 years.Now the very system they disliked,the very canteen they cursed,the time that they spent there,the bday bums they suffered..all these seem like heaven to them.
