My first ever Demo..

Hi friends,

This time Im going to present the things happened to me during my first ever demo.. That was held just today evening!

Actually in NCST, one of our popular faculty Sachin Sir asked us (just for the sake of our personality developent) for volunteering to conduct an industrial visit in our campus. At first, I was hesitating in giving my name cause I was thinking it would be different from Presentations in front of known faces since we have to put the things across the people we never ever even know.. But later I realised that surely it's going to help me for future when I'll be presenting some thing as a software Engineer in front of our clients or seniors so rather that thinking for doing some extra efforts then for that, it'd be better if I use the arrived opportunity and resources available just now...

Anyways I accepted the offer and late night we(all the brave volunteers) were called in for the preparatory-session by Sachin Sir for the same visit. He gave so many tips for the better demo and suggested us to not to fear, in case of any mistake done by us he'd be there for handelling that. Afterwards we decided our roles which we have to play at the time of real demo.

We were ready with our decided howework done before 3 pm which was the scheduled arrival of the "Mother teresa college" from Koadikanal with 46 PG students and 4 members of staff. As soon as the college arrived we had started our process in our decided manner. Soon our nervousness turned into comfortable attitude, we were easily taking their queries and providing them a suitable solution! It took 30-40 minutes in the whole process.

I was thinking the right step, I took at the right time because it was quite relaxing that my fear of giving the demo has gone far far away from me forever, thanks to Sir~ And Im openly requesting you, my friends that you should also take such initiatives in future, there are going to be many such visits which will enhance our communication skills, which ofcourse wil be going to serve its purpose definately in our career sometimes...

Last lecture of TCOM..

Hi friends,

As it seems by its title, this blog is dedicated to the last lecture of the Technical Communication module of the FPGDST course.

It was 11 oct '07. Sawani ma'm was going to take the lecture as usual. Somewhere in everyone's mind, this was going on that we were going to free from this module anyways. Some were happy for the completion of a module but some were upset as now onwards we'd not be able to be in regular touch and care of Sawani ma'm..( But later on, ma'm made it clear to all that she is not going to leave us, whoever wants support is just needed to call her...)

In fact the lecture was quite fruitful as Ma'm discussed over the ways we're supposed to give our interviews for the positive results, whether it's a technical one or a HR one. Definately some golden rules in the form of DOs N DONTs came out of the discussion after several examplifications. Some of them as follows:-
  • First of all, believe in hard work but let the result be decided by destiny. Dont be depress for the negative outcomes, as "SUCCESS HAS NO ENDING BUT FAILURE HAS NO FINAL.."
  • Dont be nervous before appearing for an interview, but it's obvious to be therefore for the removal of it (which is ultimately required) start thinking about the fields you are good at so that you can direct your interview in the orientation you want.
  • You'd have the clear cut idea about the job you are applying for.

Some of the things which is peeped into you while interviews are:-

  • Attitude - the way you think/react/present
  • Aptitude - the way to analyse the possible solution
  • Confidence - which comes after a lot practice and knowledge of the domain
  • Technical skills - basically stress upon it then focus to improve upon your communication skills as both are required equally
  • Respect for the chance - respect each and every oppotunity as there is no such a small or big opportunity

I hope, I did my job to try to write those rules so that others can take it as a "useful blog" for gaining the benefits. I wish that Ma'm would correct my mistakes , if there any..


Thank you and best of luck for your interview!

1st journey, close to an end..

Hi friends,

Again a blog related to NCST as Im unable to stop myself to write for a institute cum MyNewHome.. When you spend maximum hours in a day while living at a single place, it tends to look like your home. A home away from home!

Our first module is going to end this week on 18th oct, it started on 6th aug'07. It was just a span of 2 1/2 months but whoever went through this course, is the only person knowing the difference between that person existing before 6th aug and the same person becomes by now!

There seems a lot of distance(in terms of knowledge and practicality) travelled so far within this short period of time. You wont believe it I m telling you there is the solely responsible thing which is none other than the pattern of this course who changes the way we see the World..
Only three modules were there in this very first term ie OPAD, DSAL & TCOM. We have come a lot ahead to solve the problems by computer using JAVA, we are now able to visualise the problems and applications related to DSAL(which used to seem like impossible task earlier) and ofcourse now we also more comfortable in expressing ourselves.

There we faced PARIKSHAK in that time, which totally changes the manner we try to solve the problem. We used to see the limited scope of a problem but now we think that we can see the real size of the existing problem by exploring its each n every possible dimension. We went through the process of several tests some were like winning but some also brought distress. But here the distress came with a learnable outcome!

But no surprise a hell lot more to travel. There are four terms overall in this course that means 3 more to go. The level of difficulty is no way goin to be easy whereas it going to increase EXPONENTIALLY...Anyways now we are NCSTians(supercomputing people, ready to face the challenges ) so we'll be back with lot more enthusiasm to face the battle which is going to be more terrible or say DO n DIE like and we have to do it..

So Best of luck friends!

Bachpan ke din..

Hi friends,

Here the topic I choose for this week is :: KIDS.. Such a topic on which anyone hardly can express as much as he can wish to do!

Actually being a kid is the phase, faced by everyone existing in the world.. Almost everyone remembers the tasks he did in his childhood like the games in which the most of the time used to pass, getting involved in masti all the time and so on!

In my views, the best ever time in life! You are free to do whatever you want to do even in front of everyone or behind the curtains because no one has the dare to stop you; actaully stoppers or hurdles are everywhere and everytime but the thing is that at that time and age we are not a bit concerned for that silly happenings. Hav'nt you spent such kind of childhood? if yes, you are lucky because in this uncertain life, you've atleast enjoyed that independence in which you have to take care of none...Else, what do I say?

You know that a kid is doing the things in a wrong manner which ultimately making him forced to doing that thing again and again but you love to see them learning by themselves and during that span of time you feel so overwhelmed that this is same thing someone did observe when you were in your childhood!

It's not only a matter of just the learning, enjoyment and the independence of that kid but we know that it gives the more enjoyment to his/her parents or grandparents! Only a parents knows the real means to be a parent, and then think how much do they feel delighted when their child doing such kiddish tasks by which none can stopped themselves to get attracted.. Moreover the grandparents becomes the kids while playing with their grandchildren just to enjoy the life again in that way.

Once a person grown up well(the things happened before to be a parent even), he then starts seeing himself in the kids surroundings as it's a fact that "once a time went away, won't be back to you again..and you've no other options left rather than doing this above mentioned kind of activities.."
