Expectations and Life

When I was doing my graduation, I never imagined that I could get a best in industry job and career growth opportunities. How can a below average student can dare to expect such things? Everybody (my college mates and their parents) used to press more on getting high marks to become a successful engineer. I never took those opinions seriously, may be I was ready to take life as it comes. Though I had dreams, I was little dubious.

Now feeling amazed sitting in a luxurious suite of high class hotel in Minneapolis, USA and typing this post for my blog. As I talked about in my previous post (In This World - 8), my life did not gave me what I wished but it pushed me to the journey which I never guessed. Though I found and lost many great things, I am still living with joy and surprises. Sometimes I feel life is easy, but it is not as straight as it seems.

With little pleasure and slight startle, I am going to bed. Good night Minneapolis.

In B.E, i always found you as unique person. you were not like others who used to copy the project source code and show it in project demo. Your hard work, dedication made you what you are now. You are pretty inspiring guy.

Do you remember, on final day of college you told, why do we always like to work for other company, why can't we start our own firm.

Your such words always motivated me, it has made me to be what i am. I always thought i should be strong technically like you were in VB, if not in VB atleast in any other programming and i found way in PHP.

Why Akbar was Great?

I have fanatical interest to be acquainted with what made Indian emperors take influential decisions during their reign. Few great kings’ valuable decisions created a remarkable history. When Akbar accepts the marriage proposal of Hindu King (Bharmal of Amer), he wishes to make an attempt to set an example for two culture and religions and convey the message of peace. Later, destiny takes him to the critical path of life having most depraved political and family oriented problems. Being a true great emperor, Akbar learns and conclude challenges by demonstrating his exceptional leadership qualities. With his verdicts, Akbar stands as an incomparable king of all time. “Jodha Akbar” – brings 16th-century incidents to life and shows beginning part of Akbar’s married life which was, in fact, a deal for political gain. This decision slowly unleashes Akbar’s loving life, internal dreadful politics, painfully desirous people around him and betraying family members. Jalaluddin Mohamma...

Linux - My Second Attempt

First time when I tried installing Linux on my box, I was failed to appraise it. I concluded that “I am typical ‘Windows’ user and might be not-understanding the Linux way”. I took break; I read some good articles on Linux. Few articles mentioned like “This Linux distribution is so easy that my grandma can use it…” I downloaded few Linux distributions (I would prefer not to mention their names here.) and tried installing one by one on my laptop. In almost all distributions, my first impression of Linux being faster operating system was gone. When I wanted to install new utility software (.rpm package) I had to learn command prompt options and finally ended up with error messages which tells one or the other supporting library is missing. Badly organized start menu always took more than required time to find out what I wanted. Too many small utilities fail to achieve user needs as a whole. Few distributions were good in few things. My overall intention was to get faster Linux on my ...

How a university is saving 2.5 tons of paper every year?

Considering the current environmental imbalances, many non-profit organizations (like The Nature Conservity , SayTree …and many others) around the world working desperately to save plant and trees. It is our responsibility too. We felt starting with universities is the better place to spread the awareness. With this, we also made universities administrative work more manageable and effective. The story I am going to share tells you how a university quietly worked and stands as a role model by saving tons of paper and millions of rupees of its own and its students. In the year 2012, VT University (Visvesvaraya Technological University also popularly known as “ VTU ”) Belgavi (India), has moved its thesis evaluations to online to effectively reduce its use of paper and streamline the process online. University’s this decision made it save several Lakhs of rupees (~ tens of thousands of dollars) every year in paper cost while giving faculty and administrators more direct a...
