VLSI -> Yes or No! December 20, 2005

Posted by FM in Random Thoughts.

VLSI is Very Large Scale Integration and is one of the three optional courses we will have to choose from in the Final Year (other two are Artifical Intelligence and Internet Computing). It is basically related to ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). ASIC are IC’s which perform particular operation and they have all the logic stored in them. This logic can be produced by two ways. Firstly by using Verilog and secondly by VHDL (obsolete). Programming in Verilog according to my final year seniors is an art to learn and intriguing to perform. VLSI is basically related to hardware type computer engineers who wants to work and play with IC’s.You can develop any sort of IC’s by developing your own logic and implementing it through Verilog. GSM technology can also be implemented through it so just giving an indication that IC’s made using Verilog can be used in communications.

But i am kinda confused…the teacher who teaches VLSI is not satisfactory one according to my seniors….So whether I should take the course or not..i am in dillema regarding VLSI…it all depends on the time that is ticking slowly and slowly ….however i am also thinking about the other two courses as well Artificial intelligence (related to Process models and Robotics) and Internet computing (network security). Which one to choose?..its a tough time for all my university fellows…

Well my university got some winter- internship offers and they sent me to Karachi Shipyard. Its at hour long drive from my house. First day, i dressed formally…went to take the bus…my friend Sanjeev was waiting for me at a point at least 25 mins away from my house…i was late in getting up so i messaged by friend you take off for the shipyard..i will join you ..[my friend also got the internship at Shipyard]. So i took the bus …saw some never seen before industries on my way KESC, Mercedes Benz, Dockyard and many others. I was an hour after my friend reached there. At first i was wrongfully sent to the wrong location in Shipyard. There they told me to teach the students some Mechanical engineers stuff which made me shocked. I told them thats a mechanical engg. stuff ..i cant teach that and i thought within myself [i am here to learn...not to teach anyone..grrr]…I saw the letter that university gave me again and i saw the cheif name whom i had to meet and that made me realized i was at wrong place inside Karachi Shipyard. So i took the letter and fled away from there. I then searched for the cheif whose name was Sabir and eventually i found his office and infront of his office i found my friend Sanjeev who was waiting for me as well. He was there for at least 2 hours. We then together waited to see Mr. Sabir but he was busy in meeting. We waited and waited and together we waited at least 2 hours more and then we met ….wait wait we dint meet Mr. Sabir but we met Mr. Jabir…lol..dont think they are brothers…maybe they are..but me and sanjoo were totally shocked to see their names..Sabir and Jabir. Mr. Jabir is from a Top Brass from Navy. I will discuss his interview after some days…;) dont worry it was an exciting one. After a long hour meeting me and my friend went to the Computer House. Karachi Shipyard still maintains its record in files and not electronically i.e still living in historic ages. Most of the computers are old…i saw only some brand new computers…..Well they told me and my friend that there is some networking stuff to be done for which they might need our help and that will start from monday…..let see …waiting for monday! :)

Yes…i never watched a match before in the stadium but i made it history by watching the match live at National Stadium Karachi today b/w Pakistan and England. It was one heck of atmosphere guys. Well unfortunately no cameras, cell phone were allowed. So i left my cell at home otherwise i would have taken pictures and would have posted it on blog. Anyways back to the action!. Pakistan batted first and we wanted Afridi first up but it was not to be. All the time Pakistani team batted, we had loads of fun in the stands. I was at Waqar Hasan enclosure…Gee never heard that cricketer name before…anyways…it was fun all the way….I danced, errupted in joy, hit the bottle hard on chairs with the crowd….i dont keep my emotions inside me :D ..so i kicked them all out today…the crowd went beserk on every English wicket, Pakistani six and four, we danced,danced and danced all the wayyy. However crowd did support English team as well. The crowd was a modern and educated cricketing one as you can expect in Karachi…being a metropolitan city….

But one thing really made the people of my row and the back row angry. There were two ppl in the row ahead of us who were constantly smoking. One was in his 50’s and one was a young guy maybe in 20’s..they were regularly smoking and their smoke was ripping our hearts. I was ..like most of the ppl in my row and the back was clearly pissed off by this…i told the guy to stop smoking but he continued. Well as the guy changed his seat we were all very pleased to see him leaving…and it was like “ab waapis nahi ana”….lol…but the uncle continued…and we had to absorb it….:(…

Back to action…..the crowd waited for Afridi’s arrival ..and when he came, it was all fun mania…Afridi hit 2 sixes which made the crowd crazy….Well i missed them both..and my friends too….well when we went for prayers akmal and yousuf were playing…and when we came back from prayers afridi got run out…it was so disappointing to see the guy whom we waited so much to see…well i guess it was all luck :) …nothing else…Khair…Razzaq stole the show….he did what afridi would have done …Hit 3 massive sixes…and took the score to 350

Lunch time , we ate Student’s briyani…cost Rs. 50..the quality was not good..back to action….English team disappointed us….they dint bat well and match became one sided. Rana boy bowled superbly again. It was one heck of celebrations when wickets fell…We danced on the song ” ay oooo ay oooo ay ooo aaa…aa lay aaa lay ooo” remember which song i am talking about ?..that world cup one sung by Strings.It was great fun guys. I dint meet any of my fellow bloggers there…hehehe thats a long shot because i hardly have seen any ..just know some…..yes we were all so happy and delighted for the Pakistani victory….Thank you Team Pakistan!

Its the name of the film which i watched yesterday night and its horror 100%…not for light hearted people…I bet if you watch it in night you wont sleep all night….its too much suspense, horror and thrill. The film gives a moral “Life is a gift, dont take it for granted!”. If you loved the movie Phonebooth that was made in a phonebooth, you will definitely love this movie as well….its made in a washroom where two men are tied seperately. Actually what the theme is that the killer gets his victims and put them in a tricky situation where they have to save their lives either by taking other’s life in process or going through pain and agony through which the victims can get killed too. The killer dont kill anyone yeah..actually the situation is such that the victim gets themselves killed in order to save their lives. I wont tell everything about the movie but i can tell about one victim of the killer.A women’s mouth was covered with a trap (shown in the picture) that could blow up after a set time. The key to open the trap was in a stomache of an alive guy who was drowsing that time.Both were locked in a room. Women had only one option, to kill the guy with the knife and to get the key out so that she can open the trap that is fit on her mouth. So she had to kill the guy inorder to save herself. Isnt that creepy :S..its sure is…

i wont tell what happened to two guys that were in washroom tied seperately as the whole movie is sorrounded around them…so you guys better watch out this and make sure kids are kept away because that can go around their minds for a long time :) .

So now as my papers are finished..will enjoy these days with my friends and will post about it.

Bayern Munchen and Weder Bremen Go through! December 8, 2005

Bayern Munich through to the next round of Champions League, but they had to settle for a draw with club brugge 1-1. However Bayern would have won the game had the last second goal had been allowed by the Umpire.

Bayern have a chance to get English teams now. I would love to see all of the English teams go out of Champions League!.

Man United out…yess!…Benfica did a great job. They beat them 2-1. Man Utd are not only out of Champions league but they are out from UEFA cup too.

Bremen beat Panathanaikos 5-1. Infact they burried them. Udinese lost to Barca and that resulted in Bremen going through to next round of CL and Udinese to Uefa cup.
