avec un software enggineer.

One day, a Mechanical Engineer, an Electrical Engineer, a Chemical Engineer
and a Software Engineer were driving down the street in the same car.
The car broke down.
The Mechanical Engineer said, "I think a rod broke. We can check the rods."
The Chemical Engineer said, "The way it sputtered at the end, I don't think it's getting gas. We shall check the gas tank."
The Electrical Engineer said, "I think there was a spark and something is wrong with the electrical system. We shall check the circuitry."
All three turned to the Software engineer and said,
"What do you think?"
The Software Engineer said, "We shall get out of the car and get in Again."

PS: 1.probably he;s using windows system..or no kill command in car process list :P

pragyanified

According to me, the most awaited moment of the year was Pragyan so far(not even Sensors, though I’m VC for it).So far I’ve seen three Pragyans, but this one was very special b'cos of the trust imposed on us by the Jk(jai kishen, the Overall coordinator, Pragyan).Me n ppl have always stuck to jk's words . The respect he has earned amongst us, his commitment towards his work makes him an inspiration to his juniors. The entire framework was drafted & committees were put up, with me in Venue Management, Organization. Though my team had three coords. Hari was busy with stalls & printing, Visshnu maams taking up photography manager post, I was the lone coordinator under Arun ,the manager of the team.

Speaking of Pragyan’08, there was array of events including astavigyan, Nitro, Foxhunt, Contraption, micro mouse, biz quiz ,circuitry, Anvesham, Ventura, byte code, Sanrachana, Dexter’s lab, many more. 10 new events were introduced in this year’s edition. The guest lectures by eminent personalities like GK, Subramanian Swami, Noam Chomsky, Trilochan Sastry n others illuminated us. The infotainment by Tony nash(I guess.. I’m rite..) Took us to a world of virtual reality n 3D. Though I was in organization, I participated in circuitry biz quiz.. Both flopped. The GL by Dr. Swami was the best, giving us the economical perspective. Unfortunately I didn’t even have an opportunity to attend Pengufest workshop, conducted by our pengu man, ‘silver prince’ suren. :P

My organizational skills has grew along with the pragyan. I headed a bunch of enthusiastic, understanding, energetic, comical juniors. Frankly speaking, I’m skeptical whether I would find such a team in the future. On my single SMS , they would be at my service. This Pragyan was a big mountain built using pack of cards meticulously, I’m happy that I was the footsteps of that event being a card at its basement. May the next team learn the shortcomings of this event, overcome it successfully.

As the logo of Pragyan says, “ Lets Celebrate Technology” , I celebrated this pragyan thoroughly and learnt new things. :-) pragyan go.. :-)

the colloquial chennai senthamizh. :)

Travel by any auto in chennai,u'll find them use "Vootle solltiya? Saavugraaki!". Or the common lingo of college people, " Figura paathu frienda cut panradhu ". From Laadu labbaku dhas' petr to saroja saaman nikalo ,the lingo is quite unique .

Madras baashai is a mixture of tamil,telugu(gu-lu-te), english(peterr) , malayalam( figures). Its quite difficult to understand for the strangers, but its really close to oneself when it comes to speaking. Not surprisingly it had its say in Kollywood movies, especially with double meanings.

For high range peter guys, the chennai tamil speakers might seem to be a locals( porikkis) but these people are really kind hearted, i'm sure u don't need to be in suit n coat to be kind hearted. But in a problem, Daar than..Dharma adi.. No Jagaa vaangaradhu. U learn quite a lot of these during ur gully cricket childhood days, especially area matches. Not to forget the local kaalachifying & lollu of the natives. With modernisation, even girls 4m Aminjikarai speak as though they are from America. Pull anyone's socks in chennai, u'll find a dictionary of bad words as in other languages.

If ur those people who have stayed in chennai for more than three years and still not got an opportunity to have a grip over this lingo, u can checkup, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madras_baashai.

Moral of the story.. Bazarlai ushara illaina nijara kalatidu vaanga . hehe .. :P
Chennai is never complete without its madras tamil..A small tribute to chennai tamil.. :D

2008 beckons me ..

A really crucial year for me , especially from my career perspective...most decisive moments.Where am i headed next after college.
1.Is it gonna MBA thru CAT??
2.IS it MS thru GRE?? if so which area of specialisation...
3.Then the placement opporunities?? Tech or softy job..
Three unanswered questions of my life... i hope to answer them by next year.

->My cpc exams starting next week make me devoid of my time. I need to squeeze time for my CAT and GRE preparation.
->Also my wish to play topcoder regularly and get out of this grey color.
->Study well , to improve my CGPA to boost my career interests. :(
->The Sensors Symposium should not give me any problems. I guess it should help me in understanding people better and give the real picture about myself to others.
->More importantly to get a good summer project to aide my MS chances.
->Apart from these , my usuals like hockey,volleyball,movies,writing,cricket,counter strike,FIFA'08,read more books.
->My mess food should be eatable.

I pray to god to give me good health(depsite my injury woes..), in achieving my desires.finally

Be good , do good , keep others happy.. :-)
Happy New year :-)
