Chimp plays pacman! Aseem N wrote this at 10:40 pm • Filed under WOW •

Certainly there are a hundred things that you can do better than any chimp. But don’t relax… they are not too far behind in competition. Agreed, not all of us are the best in scoring in pacman, a classic game that ofcourse does not demand a high IQ. But sure for this chimp with whatever IQ he owns playing pacman is far more fun than just jumping around from one tree to the other.

Here are a couple of pics out of the video:

For those who have the better net connections or cannot resist their curiosity to see the chimp in action this is the link to the video:

I wonder if one day I will see chimps playing action games like Half Life 2, Call of Duty and others. Sure it will be more fun than playing pacman! Finally it’s all upon the game developers to design games requiring higher IQ’s so that I can tell a 5 year old kid… see this is how I am different than that chimp! ;)

Poem: A Shredded Soul Aseem N wrote this at 3:03 am • Filed under My Writings •

I have been trying to rhyme words since my childhood. Most of what I wrote has gone down the line to the bin, but whatever that I thought made sense got added into my poetry archive. I compose more of Hindi poems, though I have a few composed in English under my cap. But have not really penned down any for more than 2-3 years now… This is what three years of engineering studies can do to you. Technical mindset and Literature attitude don’t really go hand in hand.

Today while cleaning my book shelf I accidentally dropped my Poetry book off shelf. It opened up to a page titled ‘A Shredded Soul’ dated 11/10/1994. One of my first few poems, I guess from my 5^th grade.

Thought I should share this piece of work with you guys here. It’s about the scientist (in first person) who devised the nuclear weapons.

This is how it goes…

It was I who showed man, how things explode,
contemplating that he would persue the success road.
Instead it took lives!
Nothing breathed but empty bee-hives.

My soul rips in shame,
because it is I whom they blame.
- The eyes of the father,
the tears of the mother,
the affection of the wife gone in vain,
and children left in pain.

Unwillingly these curses I sip,
to my feelings they always nip.
Me and my contribution shall remain immortal I thought,
but wretched lives plummeting I forgot.
What aroma does man breathe of blood flown? Once in action,
the weird war is just momentary satisfaction.

Charred are my wishes and aspirations,
Forayed is the innocence in my intensions.
I have been left in lurch between cries hounding,
slept are the beats of my heart pounding,
Whom shall I tell, where shall I cry,
The culprit? It wasn’t I, it wasn’t I…

- Composed By: Aseem N

Raining Aseems Aseem N wrote this at 2:05 am • Filed under I, Me and Myself •

Every time in school when my name would be called out by my teacher for maintaining the attendance records or just while strolling in a park if I would hear it called out, I would gladly tell myself that ‘it’s for me’. And it certainly was. :) Living in a sparsely populated state of India, Goa, it was certain that there was no other Aseem around. There was no reason that I should not feel special about my not so common name. I couldn’t thank anybody else other than my parents for it!

The only problem I ever had was when people would make unsuccessful attempts in spelling out my name. Most thought that I was a Muslim and often wrote it as ‘Asim’, ‘Assem’ and all myriad more spellings. :x Then I had to get busy explaining these morons that Aseem is a word of Sanskrit origin…meaning one who does not have any boundaries! The very opposite of Seema. Well I really don’t have anything against any religion but then when it comes to my name I did like it to be how it is supposed to be…

Ok so coming back… I thought that I had the most unique name and there was no one else with the same. Wow!

But this belief was sure not to last long. I tried a search for Aseem on orkut. To find 350+ results. Whoa! Those were surely quite many and not to forget the Non-Orkut Aseems. Not the best numbers that I would like to count on my fingers. After brooding over the fact that there were more Aseems around, than I thought there could be(now should be :(), I was struck by an idea :idea: of networking all into a community. So I started a community The Aseems on Orkut to which I invited quite a few who shared the same name as mine…

2 days and we had about 90 members, all astonished to find more Aseems as they all thought they were the only ones. Ha… but I guess we are still better off. With every third person being a Rahul or a Sanjay, I guess it’s more a pride to be the lucky few as the Aseems. Having many Aseems in the community, from Amritsar to LA… we pals have a happening community in which we never bother of who posts as all are Aseems for sure. So can’t really differentiate! 8)
