Holidays and stuff...

Yeah, summer time, vacation time. The second semester ended and it was a huge relief as with that, the first year of Engineering also came to an end. I had a BIG TO-DO list for the upcoming 2 months.

After 2 semesters, my CGPA stood at 9.52 on a ten point scale. The semester contained much ups and downs at random intervals. Anyways, that didn't change my music listening. This time i was trying out indie-electro bands, like Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service and Owl City. These bands had some amazing tracks like Marching bands of Manhattan, Soul Meets Body, Such Great Heights, Fireflies, Saltwater Room and many more.

Other thing that i would like to mention here is about a clear-type font called Calibri. Calibri is of Sans-serif typeface now widely adopted by Microsoft as default font in their applications. My liking for calibri began while i was reading through blogs. It's currently my default font in Windows, IE, Firefox and other applications.

Regarding gaming, i think i mentioned in some previous posts that my integrated video chip could not handle much, so i got some games for my Playstation 2. I got NFS Undercover (yes i know it's too late but i can't help it), Tennis (A new version), and Gran Turismo 4 (Long awaited :)) The PS2 has been around for 10 years since it's release in 2000 and these were some of the last games to exist on this platform.
