Some facts about me….
Akshay.N.R is my name. N.R is what people call me. Done my B.Tech in Civil Engineering from NITK Surathkal. Now on my way to do my MS at Virginia Tech…
This Blog has been my best friend ever since it’s inception. The only thing that doesn’t interrupt me when I want to say something-anything.
I have my own way of doing and seeing things-that also includes the lack of doing and seeing things. I am drawn towards the cults. They have always amazed me and I find myself increasingly drawn to explore new ideas, music, thoughts, philosophy etc.
I am really passionate about whatever I do. What this also means is that I do only things that I like. Yeah obviously I have been at the recieving end due to this attitude of mine. But this is what gives me my identity. And I am proud of it.
Tell you what all I really like…
Pink Floyd: By far, the best discovery of my life! God only knows how often I listen to them and one of the few things that has kept me in my senses all this while.
Alcohol: Don’t mistake me! I am not a drunkard or anything. I just enjoy my whiskey and like to meet over beer. After Pink Floyd, I have to say this has been the best discovery of my life!
Soil: Ah! My future, my passion. I hope to open my own Foundation Engg Company someday.
My Bass Guitar: My latest passion… the first thing I hear when I listen to any song is the bass. Then everything else falls into place!
Books: There was that time when I just stopped reading good books. But now, for whatever reason, I find myself immersing myself in a whole load of books.
Ayn Rand’s Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged: God only knows how she was able to put into words all the things that I have always felt but was never sure as I was just looking for some assurance. And I got more than that! Atlas Shrugged – This is John Galt speaking-literally saved me from drowning myself in doing things so that I have a better after-life;and instead I decided to celebrate this life and LIVE.
My Two years at Joseph’s PU COllege: Man that was simply the best two years of my life! Nothing can be better than those times that I had there. Made friends for life there. I passed out of that college in April 03..I maybe studying in one of the top Engineering Colleges, but today even before I am anybody, I am a Josephite. We guys still meet up some two times a year and relive all those times. And we will continue to do so every damn year!
Acoustics: Good sound effects is something that will always turn me on! BOSE Speakers rock! I also want to specialize in Bass guitar. The bass just makes my day!
Lamborghini Murcielago: Trust me when I say I will buy that damn thing one day.
So there you have it…Me in a nutshell..may be not exactly but thats about what I have to say abt myself. And of course, in my blog you will find all the things that happen only to me.
Dude/Bro,
I graduated from KREC 16 years back. My wife graduated from KREC 15 years back. My brother and my sister in law graduated from KREC 14 years back.
But we all were into Pink Floyd, Ayn Rand and Led Zep.
I am really surprised that some things never change.
Its kinda creepy.
U have heard about this thing called Rap. I killed of rock about a decade ago only cuz it is way better than all the old classic rock shite. Try it.
So long.
Ping me just for old times sake.
How are things at NITK.
Rgds, Yogi

@Nachiketa
Well I am afraid I am using a different blogging platform than you as you must have now noticed. I use wordpress while you use blogspot. It is simple to do in wordpress. You will find it in the widgets under presentation. But I am not aware of how you do it in Blogspot….
Good stuff man – I am one of the many like us – Ayn Rand, Rock, Beer, books and blog. Just that I am not a tech chic, thats it. Good stuff on your blog. So glad Tull is coming to India. And I totally agree, worth the dough if they play Aqualung!
Thank God You are not a Tech Chic! I have seen too many of them. Come to think of it, most of the chics u see are in some or the other engg college and end up in some or the other software company.
And yes, Ayn Rand, Rock and Beer did turnaround my life a couple of years back. And there has been no looking back ever since.
And in case u are in bangalore, will see u at Tull concert!
I think you are very cool as a soil engineer. You have many ideas, smart, and open person. Why don’t your share your thoughts and ideas with other civil engineers?
best regards,
sure will do
