31 May Naruto and now Fairy Tail

I had mentioned last year in one of the very first posts in my blog that I watch a lot of anime and I like them even more when they have story. Till a month back I was only following Naruto on a regular basis. Usually the manga is released once in a week unless there is a weekly jump. I read Bleach from beginning till almost the end. May be another 10 or 20 manga would put me up to date. But then I don't get that feel "Bleach Manga might have got released I should go check out". There have been days when I had opened internet during Thursday lunchtime just to see if Naruto got manga had released and now that Naruto is aware that his friends are fighting to save his life he is heading towards the battle field along with Killer Bee. After somewhat dragged yet interesting descriptions of the war (it would be awesome when the episodes of the war come)  the story is getting more and more interesting slowly. I couldn't start One Piece so I don't know how good it is, so I wouldn't comment on it. However there is this other Anime I started watching recently which I find as exciting as Naruto. It started in 2006. Authored by Mashima Hiro there are 236 manga and around 80 episodes have been released.

The Kingdom of Fiore. A neutral country of 17 million people. It is a world of magic. Magic is bought and sold there everyday. It is an integral part of people's lives. And there are those who use magic as their occupation. Those people are referred to as wizards. The wizards belong to various guilds and perform jobs on commission. There are large number of guilds within the country. And in a certain city (Magnolia) there lies a certain guild. A guild from which various legends were once born or rather, will continue to be born long into the future...and its name is : FAIRY TAIL.
Lucy is a celestial wizard and wants to join Fairy Tail. She meets Natsu (and Happy, Natsu's cat which can talk and fly) who comes to her town in search of Igneel. Natsu Dragneel is the Fire Dragon Slayer, the so called Salamander of Fairy Tail. By the end of first episode Lucy joins the guild. The remaining story is all about the incredible guild, Fairy Tail. Right from the background music to perverted comedy to the lovely bond they have with the guild everything is simply superb. I couldn't stop myself from reading manga after I finished all the available episodes. In case of Naruto there were episode which I didn't bother to watch as I had read the story in manga, but in case of Fairy Tail I look forward to watch all the episodes whose story I have already read. Though it is the second one to add to the list somehow I have got attached to it more ( that might be because I have watched too many fillers in Naruto :P )
Natsu, the fun he has on a job, guts to never give up, will to protect the guild and his search for Igneel along with all the comedy that he does for not being able to handle transportation :P . Its just brilliant along with Happy, Lucy, Erza, Gray, Gildarts, Mirajane, Master and the list goes on.. If you like anime I would say it is worth watching; actually you would love it (provided you don't mind some perverted comedy :P ).

Cheers

26 May After So long

It has been really long since I wrote an entry in the blog. Was busy sometimes and sometime that flow of thought wasn't there. Not that I have something special to say today but there are a lot of things to say. Now where do I start. I will try to mention things in the chronological order, that should be best. Last I wrote was on 7th April. Then there was this SOLVE project review during which me Supreeth ( now the IE Convenor ) and Shravan Gurukar (another Pro Macha) had so much fun. This review was on a simulation lab on mechanics of machines, and we created things in Adobe Flash using ActionScript3.0 Well it was sure a great experience though we were working at the last moment as usual :P . That was on second half of the week as far as I remember. I worked till Sunday afternoon and finally got back to my room from SOLVE lab to study for my end sem exams which were starting the next day. Exams went well and ya the review was a great success (it was more successful not because we did great but because others didn't do much :P ). Then I stayed back after exams for a few days to work both for SOLVE as well as for BAJA. oh ya I am now in BAJA team of my college and Vivek got into team FSAE (sad that I haven't been much useful to the team. Hopefully I will do better in the coming months).Taught a few things about ActionScripting and Flash to few juniors who (hopefully) will help us in creating simulations during summer. 
Then finally I came back home on May 7 afternoon and started on the same day to attend a housewarming function of relatives. Then came back home on Tuesday and on Sunday came here. I am right now near Bhadrachalam (in Andhra Pradesh) doing my Industrial Training at ITC Paper boards and Speciality Papers Division and will be here till June 15.  That's pretty much what happened till now. Then of course there are things that happened which I haven't mentioned, like FSAE car unveiling ( something really sad happened, I heard the car was stopped at customs department at Chennai airport and got delayed for the event don't know the full story yet) and then the union elections and the placement coordinators elections (which were to happen before, but supposedly got postponed because of union elections :P no comments ) and of course the major project groups for which I tried to bring M1 and M2, the two mech classes together for a meeting which ended up being flop because there was some reluctance in informing people. Now our Department has taken some decisions due to which looks like everyone is facing and going to face the music. Well mention of the meeting flop reminds me that there is this thing called SEARCH which I started. no comments please :P.. it will be embarrassing as it also is in a near to flop stage :P . But my 9.38 sgpa for this sem tells me I haven't lost it yet. It tells me I can still achieve if I want to and I try hard and then of course there is this one of my favourite lines from my Prof. "Find a reason to do it" . Coming up is the one Final Year of my B. Tech., my last one and only chance to do some things joyous, useful, fruitful and worth remembering for everyone at NITK and I look forward to make it the most happy and memorable of all years at NITK not just for me but for everyone.
