Its My Life ....

2011-06-02T23:41:00.002+05:30

last 5 months have been an eye opener for me.... :)

I've seen things that i thought would never happen in my life....

yes, I've been heartbroken, I've been deceived by someone whom i believed more than anyone else.... :)

Girls will cheat someday... u cannot believe anyone other than your mom, believe me....

now i know that life won't always be fair....

I wish I could turn back time and live my life as a gentleman, loving and caring for the one I love...

Just want to tell the girl I belived: I never expected this from you, I thought you were different from anyone else....

Kung Fu fighter.... :)

2011-06-02T23:33:00.002+05:30

we recieved our "Yellow Belt" for kung fu today....!

It was awesome feeling recieving belt, kneeling down, from the master.... :)

we've been learning Kung-fu for the past 3 months, and, mind u, kunf fus is far better and lethal than karate.... ( I've learned karate 8 yrs ago, for a few months)...

Yamaha FZ, a liability

2011-05-15T12:03:00.002+05:30

Its more than 2 yrs since I bought my yamaha Fz16 bike...

Gotta tell you, for the first year or so, she was a beauty....

But after that, its got lot of maintenance problems... and the engine performance is too bad... yes, u can blame the riding style, but still.... I've seen pulsars and apaches with lesser cost and them giving far better milage than my fuel guzzling girl.... (she gives only 30kmpl....!!!) ...

WTF....!

And the consoles of FZ are too bad, compared to pulsar...

Final verdict on FZ- Do not buy... The girl's got only looks.... nothing else.... Go for apache/pulsar..

Nostalgic

2010-12-20T18:47:00.003+05:30

just happened to see my friend anoop's profile in orkut... Its his b'dY tomorrow and so thought of leaving a scrap...

checked hi photo albums... he has actually segregated his albums in such a manner that each album corresponds a period or phase of his life... like he has one for his friends, one for his HMT days and another for his L&T days in MP etc...

As i went through the HMT album, I became nostalgic, like its almost 5 months since I left HMT and joined CET for MBA.... I really cherish the days I spend there... it did help me grow as an engineer and as a person... We did have so much fun there, and I learned a lot about mechanical engg. Made a lot of friends ... It really helped me to learn how to behave in a company....

Actually, as my course ended by july 2010, I had made up my mind to do MBA... Cos its from HMT that I realized that getting a Masters in management is essential for career growth...

Ok, think i drifted from the point, so from anoop's album, I got this idea of segregating each album according to the period when it happened... so we can see how we changed... and seeing those photos is really a worthwhile experience....

Why did i do MBA?

2010-11-06T18:59:00.002+05:30

Me being a Mechanical Engineer, never wanted to do MBA.... Why?

Cos I feared that whatever I've learned in my Engineering would be just waste.....

And we Mechies have a special bond and passion to our field....

Ok, first of all, I am very passionate about Mechanical Engineering.... and I really want to work in some Automobile firm in the future.....

Yeah, so the main reason for me doin MBA is just this- I Found that MBA is essential for career growth....

How?

Well , working in HMT taught me a lot of things ... One was that " If u want to be on the Top, u need a management degree...."

And Technical doesn't help much to climb the ladder to the top....

In HMT I've seen many Genius's .... Best, Rank Holders.... But they never go beyond a point in their career.... Like, say, if one is good in design, and has a B.tech degree, the most he's gonna be in his career is " The Chief Of Design"

On the other hand, even if one is a B.com guy, with a management degree, he might as well become the GM...

I hope u got the point...

Now that I've joined for MBA in one of the most prestigious Institutions in Kerala, I'm gonna make the most out of it.... n am gonna be a Gr8 manager in two years....! :)

Champions League

2010-05-23T01:18:00.002+05:30

Ok, now i'm watching Inter-Bayern Final of the Champions League.... Inter lead 1 goal after half time....
I am seeing champions league final like after 5 years or so...
I think i didn't get chance to see football after leaving home for doing my engineering...
Before that, me and my bro used to watch almost every match of EPL, n champions league...
we used to play football everyday...

now life is different... I Don't find time at all....
I still remember joining HMT for my apprenticeship, and today, I've less than 2 45 days to complete my training.... Time moves sooooo fast....

Guess I'l just quote Pink Floyd's "TIME"

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

BREATHE REPRISE
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

so true........

The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

This song must be an inspiration for lazy lunatics like me who waste time....

So long...

Is this Real Communism?

2010-04-28T22:46:00.002+05:30

Yesterday again a hartal for nothing. .. . By the ever stupid and ruling party. . . The reason, rising prices. . . A simple question, will the prices come down if these guys do hartal?? Ok, i can understand, lame people, lame concepts, lame and stupid ways of doing things. . . . These wackhos thought that it will bring down prices. . . . But my question is different, why are these people forcing others to join, when others don't want to??? I didn't join, i went for work. . . No one stopped me. . But these pimps were deliberately forcing others to go back home, when they wanted to work. . . Is this right way of doing things, Mr. Achumaman? I can understand you are a school dropout and illiterate sick *&^%$%. . . But you being a CM, are you not obliged to follow the five directives issued by the high court? You know what, You are the only reason why Our state is not developing. . . . My advice to all people, get out on hartals, kill the %$%%# who stop you. . Do it two times, they won't dare again to stop. . . .

PS: These views are purely personal... I respect the Old communist Ideology... but I sincerely think that todays communist leaders are not living up to that ideology... I sincerely apologise if I hurt anyone's feelings...

Happy Vishu...!

2010-04-15T23:17:00.002+05:30

Wow, today was vishu.... I had a good time... spend almost all the time in home today with my mother and bro... Mom made us a wonderful "sadya" with all the curries.... and her special " semiya payasam" .. had a good time.... my friend Femshad joined us for lunch....
Though I could not go to temple in the morning, I did go in the evening....

then my friend Abi had come down from Bangalore.... Had a chat with him... we discussed about how our peers were going the wrong way ... just wasting their time and youth.... I don't want to tell this, but my village morally sucks... u see lazy people all around just loitering... If you have an aim in life and if you are a hard worker, this is not the place to be...

We were telling about the importance of friends in our lives.... Our friendship can make or break us.... If you are with good friends, who are ambitious and driven by passion, you tend to get that habit from them.... But if your friend circle is bad, mind u, you're screwed...

Thats it folks....

Life is beautiful...!

2010-04-11T11:18:00.002+05:30

I jsut saw Life is Beautiful.... and what a movie.... How can anyone forget Guido and the little boy Joshua... and the story is simply fantastic....

This is the kind of movie which makes us think how fortunate we are to live in the wonderful place... rather than thinking about the negative aspects of life, we should make use of our time to see and explore the wonderful things that surround us... Life is indeed very short, and we should make the most of it... Love

He he....

this is one thing i keep tellin myself from the past, say 2-3 yrs....

Why, cos I'm the laziest person whom anyone will ever meet.... Just take the case of this blog, its been almost 2 months since i blogged....

OK jokes apart, I'm a really lazy guy, lazy in a sense that I don't have a definite goal or anything like that... I just love to enjoy day by day as it comes.... I kno this is not the way to treat life... I know I've to be serious at some point in life, the earlier the better or else I'm screwed for life....

I really don't know what happened to me, I just don't have that fire in me anymore... I still remember myself as a active, never-say-die attitude guy in my college... But, I guess I've lost it, but I also know that I've to bring it back to life if I have to survive....

A typical day in my life is like this : I wake up late, Go to HMT 15 mins late.... Work there with a sleepy mind, FUCK me. Come back, see some movies, chat, talk on the phone for like hours, blah blah, eat something, sleep.... Thats it.

Guess I'm totally screwed up, eh?

I don't know.....

I know this : if i'm like this, I'm gonna be screwed up...

So I've decided to change.... " ( it will be a long time when this decision

Gulmohar....

2009-12-20T22:33:00.003+05:30

I saw Gulmohar, Malayalam movie.... Its a very good movie I'd say....
Its the story about a few young revolutionaries, with communism in their blood and a gutsy heart, ready to fight against injustice.
It actually takes us back to those days when Kerala was a communist states.... Mind you, If I would have been living in that era, I would have been a communist too, that was the influence and clamour communism had in those days....
but now, communists have lost their way. Its just a bunch of people who do not know what they do or say.
My father was a communist, I see lot of Lenin books which belonged to my him. On the other hand, my mom is congress... Its hereditary...
If you ask me what I'm, I cannot give you a definite answer.
I'm definitely not a comrade... I just don't like the way the party works, or how the leaders show themselves to the people. I started disliking the party when they tried to pull down UPA over nuke deal. What a shame..... And I started liking congress after Manmohan miraculously pulled the party up....!!!!
I am not a VHP or RSS guy. But I like them, ... But of course, I hate them for their anti-muslim campaign, how they brought down Babri masjid and Gujrat riots....
I loved BJP when Vajpayee was PM... He was jus awesome....

Ok ok, I'm out of the subject.... Gulmohar, nice film, 7/10.

Farewell Mininova.... :(

2009-11-26T22:27:00.000+05:30

Today is a very sad day for me.... Mininova, the biggest torrent site is no more.... They have reduced their torrent distribution for copyrighted content only following a court order..... This means that we cannot get anymore free s/w or movies or anything for that matter....

Mininova wrote :

Hi all,Today is an important day in the history of Mininova. From now on, we are limiting Mininova.org to our Content Distribution service. By doing so, we comply with the ruling of the Court of Utrecht of last August.Unfortunately the court ruling leaves us no other option than to take our platform offline, except for the Content Distribution service. According to the verdict (Dutch link) we have to prevent uploads of torrents to Mininova that refer to certain titles or to similar-looking titles. We’ve been testing some filtering systems the last couple of months, but we found that it’s neither technically nor operationally possible to implement a 100% working filter system. Therefore, we decided that the only option is to limit Mininova to Content Distribution torrents from now on. We are still considering an appeal at this moment.We launched our Content Distribution service in 2007. This service allows producers and artists to easily publish and distribute their content for free through Mininova. The launch of Content Distribution has proven to be a success. Countless content owners have used Content Distribution to distribute their content (e.g. albums and documentaries) for free to millions of users. For example, the Dutch band Silence is Sexy released their complete album on Mininova and received the Interactive Award 2009 for doing so. The Dutch television broadcaster VPRO decided to start using Content Distribution in 2009 in order to distribute documentaries.We would like to thank you for your support. Especially everyone that contributed to Mininova receives a big “thank you!” for the effort! We hope to keep welcoming you on Mininova and our other projects (e.g. Snotr, Dispostable).Thanks! The Mininova staff

Sad, isn't it...?

Gone ore those days where we could get virtually any software, movies, games or anything thru P2P network....

I am so much thankful to mininova for giving me all those thisngs which I wanted, surely it wouldn't have been possible without you....

I still hope yow will rise again when, just like mininove was born when supernova was killed....

Mininova : Internet = MJ: music....

Rest in peace.... Love u, miss u....

Love & friendship....!

2009-10-11T17:54:00.003+05:30

Guys.....!
I'm having a very rough time right now.....I'l write abt that sometime....
Okay, so I was surfing, ans got struck at a very interesting blog.... by a guy called Macky...
I think the blog's pretty cool( http://mackyunggoy.multiply.com/journal?&page_start=40 )... He's in my blog list, check out if you want.... this piece, I thought its good.... have a read....

If you are afraid to love a person because of
friendship, you have two choices either tell
what you feel and let the heart takes place forever
or hide the feeling under a friendship
full of pretensions. Sometimes I've asked my self,
what would make me happy? To think
that I have everything else, I get what I want…then
I realized it was you, too bad because
it's you I can't have… love can never be beautiful
without friendship. One leads to
another and the process is irreversible…the best of
lovers are the greatest friends!
Love doesn't have to have a happy ending because
love doesn't have to end at all. A man
realized he wanted his love back not wanting to be
hurt again, the girl said, "no!" The
man cried out to God "If we were meant to be, why
did I lose her?" God replied, "you did not lose her …you let her go."
When you love someone don't expect
that the person to love you back the same amount.
One of you will be ahead, the other
behind. It's either you catch up or the other waits.
What if someone tells you this? "I don't
believe in courtship, it's just a waste of time" If I
love a person, I'll tell her right away but
for you, I'll make an exemption… just love me now
and I'll court you forever. Never be
afraid to fall in love it may hurt you a lot it may give
you aches and pain, but if you don't
follow your heart, in the end you will cry even more
for not giving love a chance. I'm sorry if you can't
love me the way you have loved the person before
me so I let you go to
find her. Think of this: have you ever cared for
someone more than you expected? Have you ever
tried to love him in spite of all the pain? Will you
love him as he whispers someone else's name?
True love hears what is not spoken and understand
what is not explained, for love doesn't work in the
mouth nor in the mind but in the heart. When you
love, you must not expect anything in return for if
you do, you are not loving but investing. If you love,
you must prepare to accept pain, for if you accept
happiness, you are not loving but using… I like you
because you are my friend and because you are
my friend, I care and because I care, I LOVE YOU I
don't love you because you are my friend, I love
you because I do!!! Food for thought: it's better to
lose your pride with someone you love rather than
lose that someone you love with your useless
pride. I can't choose whom I'm gonna love, but also
I can't just love who chooses to love me and you
can't blame me in choosing to love you as much
as I can't blame you for not learning to love me.
How can I say goodbye to some one I never had?
Why do tears fall for someone who was never
mine? Why is that I miss someone I was never
with and I ask why I love someone whose love was
never mine? It's hard for two people to love each
other when they live in two different worlds…but
when these two worlds collide and become one,
that's what you call… MAGIC! Don't love a person
like a flower, coz a flower dies in
season. Love them like a river because a river
flows forever. "Love may leave your heart
like shattered glass but keep in mind that there's
someone who'll be willing to endure the pain of
picking up the pieces so you could be whole
again". The most cruel thing a guy
could do to a girl is to let her fall in love when he
doesn't intend to catch her fall.

hope u like this....
ok.cya

Roxy Music.....!

2009-08-21T18:14:00.003+05:30

I saw " Flashback of a Fool" just now and what a movie....!
Its the story of a fading hollywood star, Joe.

Its set in the 70's... The movie is pretty good, but this movie introduced me to " Bryan Ferry" , the UK musician.... and know what his one song " IF there is something" is awesome, we can sense his passion for music and love in this song. I downloaded his discography, and know what, he's the best of the best. His songs are awesome...

Check out the lyrics, hear the song if you can:
If there is something that I might find
Look around corners
Try to find peace of mind I say
Where would you go if you were me
Try to keep a straight course not easy
Somebody special looking at me
A certain reaction we find
What should it try to be I mean
If there are many
Meaning the same
Be specific just a game

I would do anything for you
I would climb mountains
I would swim all the oceans blue
I would walk a thousand miles
Reveal my secrets
More than enough for me to share
I would put roses round our door
Sit in the garden
Growing potatoes by the score

Shake your hair girl with your ponytail
Takes me right back (when you were young)
Throw your precious gifts into the air
Watch them fall down (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The hills were higher (when we were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The trees were taller (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The grass was greener (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)

Awesome....!!!

First month in HMT....!

2009-08-07T21:57:00.007+05:30

Well, its been more than a month since I joined HMT as a graduate apprentice.... And mind you, the whole factory is awesome....! A mechanical engineer's paradise..... There are soooo many machines, a variety of them....and they are so large.... Mind you, I never thought that I could ever see machines like which are here.... There is a printing machine which was made in England back in 1879....!!! I enjoy every moment in here... True, there is no AC, its not so clean place., my hands will be filled with grease Oil nd metal.... but I still feel that intimacy, or rather a satisfactory feeling that only a Mechanical sector can give me....

Ok, I made quite a few friends and a lot of foes in here....

I've to tell, this is the first taste of what real life is... So you meet all kinda people, some are good, some are sweethearts, some are neutral and some guys simply SUCK.... As someone well said, " Life is a lesson and you'll learn it when you're through"

This is the first sign that life's not gonna be easy in here, but I'm gonna make 100% out of this one year ....

Lets see, I just saw Angels & Demons... I had read the original book, and mind you, it was rocking....! And now when I saw the movie, I think its pretty close to the book... Like when you see the movie, you feel like you've seen it before..,( If you had read the book, of course !) The VFX are damn good, the reconstruction of Vatican City, St. Peters basilica, Vatican archives, man , u can't guess they'r just sets.....

Verdict : Must watch.... 4/5

Ice age 3- Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Wow....! this is the one awesome movie....!

Best of the three... There is this new charecter called " BUck", who is very cool and intelligent and all... The comic content is at the fullest on this movie....

The Apprentice.... better Late Than NeVeR

2009-07-12T23:53:00.003+05:30

So, after more than an year of soul searching, I've decided to stay in my field... I have quit Sutherland, n on 10th July, I've officially joined HMT as a Graduate Apprentice....

Making the decision was very easy, cos I now know that Mechanical Engineers has a face value that no other engineers have.... But, leaving Acer was very tough.... cos I've loved the process, I loved the way everything is done there, I have learned a lot during the four months I stayed there....

But as they say, " to gain something, you've to loose something"

Now about HMT, man that company is a monster, there are so many machines... n they are so BIG... I hope I'm gonna enjoy staying there.... and by the end of one year, hopefully I'd be a qualified and experienced Mechanical Engineer....

My TL and Program manager says that Mechanical feild sucks and I'm making a stupid decisison. Cos they think that my growth will be very slow and blah blah... They were surprised that I was leaving an 8k salary job to a 2.6 k stipend job.... Well, what they don't understand is the call of a Mechie, the fell & pleasure that one gets when he is doing the job that he had learned.... I'm not telling that IT is bad, but Mechanical is something else, that I love and can't explain....

" Its in your moments of decision that your destiny is made"- Anthony Robbins.

Its not that I've learned every bit of hardware... Its just that i know a lot more than the average Mechie...
After being here for two months, I've developed a respect for all those networking guys.... I thought that it was quite easy, but actually there's lot to learn
Yes, i'm gonna write a full blog about my life in Sutherland... about the friends i made, about some wackos i met, about love, how i put on weight (), how my biological clock stopped working, n how life is in an IT industry....

Real friends never part....

2009-04-11T22:04:00.001+05:30

Hi... I just had a little party wit my old friend midhilaj... He's my friend since my school days... We were together in high school.... Its 5 years since we studied together, and still we keep in touch. Tellin about him, He's not an ordinary guy. People may not like him in an instance.... He loves being wit women... Women are part and parcel of his life.... Means, he just like meetin new gals and makin love wit them, if you know what i mean... I won't consider him as a flirt, its just his instinct to make girl friends, and make love wit Them . . Lot of my fiends hate him for that, but He's a real good guy in heart, and he is a person honours friendship.... The big story is that, he fell in love, he can't think of leavin this gal... He's even thinkin of marrying her... Gosh, thats somethin totally unacceptable from him... Well, he finally agreed that real love do exist, thanks to that gal.... I mean, he would have fished atleast 100 odd gals till now, how can he tell something like this? Well, thats the magic of love. Guess, he didn't meet " The One" till he met her... Well, i think I'l change the heading to somethin like, 'love will find you someday ' or love from heart' . . Later...

How to get apprenticeship in INDUSTRIES (kerala).

2009-03-28T22:01:00.001+05:30

So whats the big deal of doing apprenticeship for just 2.5kpm when you can easily find a job anywhere with minimum 6-8 k's....

dude, what do you think. Is there a difference b/w learning kung-fu from bruce lee and from another master who just got his black belt?
There is difference, rite?
These industries were started in 1960's or 70's, so they have all the machines and mechanisms of that time. Remember, I'm telling this from a Mechanical Engineeer's point of view.
All you CS and IT guys, get lost n come back later.

ok, so if u guys wanna do apprenticeship in HMT, FACT, IRE etc, first of all you gotta register in Supervisory development center in Kalamaserry, Ernakulam.

First, you have to go to Sub Treasury, Aluva to get a chalaan. To reach sub-treasury, if you are coming from ernakulam, catch any bus to aluva and get down on "zeenath theatre" bus stop. From there, treasury is just 150 meter walk. You will get the account number of SD centre from treasury. Get a tresury seal on the chalan. ok/

Second, to remit the cash ( only 50/-) , you have to go to State Bank of Travencore, Aluva branch. That is also walkable distance from treasury. Remit the amount there. Then catch any bus which goes to Ernakulam.

Get down on HMT bus stop. Ask anyone the way to primary health center, walk past primary health center for another 100 meter, on the left-side, you will find a building with a yellow board " Supervisory Development Center". Just show your original marks cards and submit the photocopies. The guys there are very helpful, the whole process won't take more than 15 mins.
Thats it, everything done.

Whwn vacancy comes, those guys will call you.

FZ 16, my awsome hot bike!

2009-02-05T11:26:00.004+05:30

red-FZ 16
black- fz 1

i bought an Yamaha fz 16 on 20th jan..... i bet she's the most hot lookin bike to hit the indian roads....

she's very smooth, its a pleasure to ride her..... i just enjoy the glances of passers by, adoring her....

handling - she's one of the best machines to handle... she just flows thru the roads... diamond frame does improve handling....

power - her 153 cc heart just pumps power to the wheels.... at 14.4 bhp, she equals cbz in power n torque....

mileage- i keep her within 50kmph, n she gives a decent milage of around 50km/l....

she is a fantastic bike.... her extra broad rear wheels give a formidable grip n balance, u can zoom thru the city traffic like a bolt....

its time we act aginst terrorism with iron hand

2008-12-11T17:28:00.002+05:30

today i saw "a wednesday". its a very good film. the theme of the story is common man's revenge aginst the terrorists who blew up the train in mumbai....
the story released b4 the latest mumbai massacre which took 200 lives .
the story has a very good moral that terrorism should be tackled with brute force,not soft hands....
everyone knows that pakistan is giving supplies and support to terrorists thru ISI.... india shouls not be soft this time, we must attack those terrorist bases workin in POK.
otherwise , there will be many more mumbai massacres.....

first job @ unilever

2008-10-16T21:41:00.003+05:30

well at last i got a job.... i had send my resume directly 2 the company & i had 2 rounds of interview b4 they gav me the seection order,,, stipent of 8k durin 6 months training & there after 14-15k.... i joined on 10th this month.
about the company, its a bread manufacturinng unit, Modern bread, part of hindustan unilever.... my post is of a safety engineer(looking afer the safety aspects of the company) ... i enjoy this job the least...
the sad thing is that my job has nothing to do with mechanical engineering.... i thing even a +2 passout can do this job...
anyway something is far better than nothing atall...
so here's my plan... i'l stay here till i get a better job....
mind u, production & maintenance feild really sucks... after the first 2 days in the company, i've decided that i'd rather go 2 design feild...
in prod & maintenance u just dnt use ur head... its just plain paper work... its in design that u can use ur head & even use something that u hav studied for 4 yrs,...

2008-09-08T13:47:00.000+05:30

the consultancy which i had registered myself is not a good one by any means... i think all the consultancies will be same... they can get u a BPO or IT job, but i dnt think any constancy can help u with core companies...
so here's what i did,
one
i went to peenya industrial area in Bangalore.... its a mechanical engineers paradise by any means...
my plan was to give my CV directly to companies...
first time i went there, it was raining hard... so i couldn't give CV to many companies....
next time i went with my friend nikhil. we covered around 15 companies in the span of 3 hrs... walking beneath the hot sun made us exhausted... but we atleast applied to those companies.
next, we went to dobaspet indutrial area... this place was undscoveres by the bangalore job hunters... so we had a better chance. we went & gave CV to some companies. one company even took our written test. .
two
there were a lot of reputed companies in bangalore which i culdn't cover.so what i did is that, i collected the adress of these companies from net and posted my CV along with a cover letter(i cost me 5/ per post+ printing charge of CV = 7 / approx)
i think i've posted around 25 letters... and around 5 of them responded.... that included Tyco, hindustan unilever, mysore electricals.

so i think that consultants are a waste f money, just go out & u can find lots of jobs for yourself....

how to crack VTU (Visvesvaraya Technological University) exams, if u r a five point sm1.....

2008-08-31T11:13:00.005+05:30

yesterday the second year results came.... many of my friends and juniors lost another year....

i asked them how they write the exams etc... from what they told me , i knew that they don't know the basic techniques to crack VTU exams....

here are some facts about how the examiners examine answer books.... they have 2 xamine some 200 papers a day. lets hope they do it for about 5 hours a day... that means per answer book gets only about 2 mins..... 2 mins!!!!

yup, thats the time they take 2 correct an answer book of 40 pages.....!!

so, lets think from their point of view..... wht would u have done if you had a book in your hand and only 2 mins 2 correct it......????

obviously, you will just skip thru the pages and if the student has good handwriting , filled a lot of pages, and attended 5 full questions, you will definitely give him 35 marks..... of course, u won't try 2 read all the pages, u just guess that the student has written all correct...., right?

here are some tips 2 help u crack vtu exams....

you should have gone through at least 80-100 marks of the subject (means, u must have a basic concept about 100 marks,that's all), so that u can attend all the 5 questions( 100 marks) & write something that's related to the subject....

you must attend all 5 full questions,no matter what you know or what u don't know.... ( more questions you attend, the examiner is forced to think " this sucker seems to know something, i'l hmmmm make hip pass, poor chap " :)

you must & must fill at least 25 pages of the book with this 5 full questions.... its all about the pages, buddy... this is VTU...!! THE MORE THE PAGES, THE MORE CHANCES U WILL PASS...!!!

be in good relation with the lecturers and particularly, the HOD.... its important that u must have 15 marks internal... cos, examiners will sometimes make u pass (even if u didn't write anything, based on the pages ) and will give u 35 (minimum pass mark), reckoning that u have 15 marks internal.... got it? so its ur social contacts & the way u behave with the lecturers that will fetch you this free 15 marks....

so, that's it.... follow these steps, and i can guarantee you a pass....

all the best, do well

job hunt is tiring...

2008-08-29T17:00:00.003+05:30

i stay in tumkur... some 70 kms away from bangalore...
so a trip will take 3 hrs in bus( ticket- 42 rs) & by local train it takes 2 hrs (12 rs)... so i'd rather prefer going by train.... but train arrives @ 7.15, the station is 4 kms away from where i live... so if i'm 2 go 2 banglore, i've 2 wake up early(by 6 am), get ready and reach the station by 7, stand in queue for buying tickets....its not so easy 4 me(i usually get up at8am)
i did this for 3 days in a row from tuesday....
day 1. i found a consultency & registered myself for 500 rs. they told 2 come next day...
day 2. i went, but interview was on next day.
day 3. i went 2 majestic, boarded a volvo 2 the whitefeild,which was 28 kms away from central... and the volvo ticket cost me 55/-... and when i reached the company, i was told thet they are not taking freshers... just imagine how fished up i'l be.... i'm quite exhausted......

i love Tumkur

2008-08-22T13:18:00.001+05:30

tumkur,this is the place i've spend my last 4 years.... and i love this place,it just feels like home....
its quite different from my village in kerala....
,in tumkur ppl are always busy in their work...
ppl here are very friendly too...
thats why i'm back 2 tumkur..... i feel myself here...
how can i forget the place that i lived for the past 4 yrs...
the streets of SIT, the strong tea of Narayan tea shop, busy back gate, the ice cold mornings, the cool afternoons & the beautiful evenings....
you won't feel bored in here... when i came here 4 years ago, i hated this place, it took a couple of years 4 me to look into the cool side of tumkur.... the food here, though, is not so tasty....

morbid mentality of kerala politicians

2008-08-02T15:26:00.000+05:30

Hmmm... I was simply wasting time today... I'm becoming okay now. I'm thinking of doing lots of things tomorrow like posting some applications and things like that. Leave it...

i read some stories in ' chicken soup for the college soul' mind you,its very good... Very inspiring stories... There were stories about receiving the degree in a convocation,i wish i could do like that.... And i wish my mom will be there to see it... It will be nice...
I saw "santosh subramaniam" the movie today,its a very good movie ,i think the best after boys... A very good story and acting is good... I'm a jayam ravi fan now... Tamil film industry is growing very fast,but malayalam is still like old times... I think that films represent the mindset of the majority of people in a particular region,like kerala and TN... So that makes tamilians very modern and ambitious... And mallus morbid and pessimist... I really don't like the mentality of politicians in kerala,they are killing the future of kerala, they are not at all allowing any foreign industries to step in kerala... I just can't believe that TN got BMW factory,which was to come in kerala... God help these people... This is the main reason why i don't want to look for job in kerala... Grow up people.,before its too late...

election loss for VP = cash loss for students

2008-06-01T15:40:00.000+05:30

a very very unlucky rafeeq ahmed lost the election by a mere 2k something votes.... poor guy,my condolences 2 him.... its estimated that vp invested around 2 crore for the campaign.... he lost it all...

but that's not what we are concerned about.... vp is trying 2 get back the cash he lost in election by imposing heavy fines on students of hmsit in the name of absence. he has fined every student irrespective of their semester ...some students have got fine up to 10k... great going sir... you have yet again proved that you are the greatest shithead of tumkur city...(i think, the 2k something voters knew this before, that's why they dumped him.... lol)

why VTU ruins students life.....

2008-05-24T15:42:00.000+05:30

hi...
i'm wating for my 8th sem xams.... it was supposed 2 begin on this 31st,but they changed it due 2 election... the revised date was on 7th june....
i was a little relieved,cos i can study something in that one week ... but after a week,they again changed the xam to 14th....
now whats this...?
and today when i looked into univers site,there is no time table at all.... what a nice university...
do they know that what goes in a stud's mind when he doesn't even know the dates of xam that he's gonna write next month..?
another thing-
in other universities,they allow for writing the exam again just after the completion of xams,so that students can pass the failed subjects or even improve the marks if they want.(i would never think of improving,can't imagine sitting in that exam hall for full 180 mins).
but,in VTU,its not possible... if u fail a subject,u can't write if for the next 6 months(till next sem exams)... this is a double whammy fot students who lose more than 4 subjects in even sem,cos,according to VTU rules(most horrible rules in the whole universe),one wont be allowed 2 pass to next year(say,1st to 2nd yr),if he has more than 4 failed papers....just imagine a student who couldn't write his xams because he was ill.... i've seen lots of students lose their one year(future) just because they had 5 back papers....
i'd say vtu is one of the toughest universities to pass out from...
but...if u can pass out frm this university within 4 years,i'd say u r nothing short of a genius....(here the word genius applies 2 studs who are trying hard 2 reach that 60% , )

jeffry archer: KANE & ABEL...

2008-05-20T15:43:00.000+05:30

hi..
i read kane & abel ... mind u,this is one of the best novels i've read.... jeffry archer has done an awesome work... you can't keep the book down till u complete it....
The book tells the stories of two men born worlds apart. They have nothing in common except the same date of birth (April 18, 1906) and a zeal to succeed in life. William Lowell Kane is a wealthy and powerful Boston Brahmin while Abel Rosnovski (originally named Wladek Koskiewicz) is a Pole born into desperate poverty who eventually emigrates to the United States.
the rest of the story is awesome as they grow up & time makes them enemies.....

i recommend u read it

aamir is no gentleman afterall....

2008-05-17T15:45:00.000+05:30

i recently read aamir's blog... i was shocked & surprised 2 see what he had written...
here's a piece from his latest blog
"Shahrukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?

Now, before you jump to any conclusions let me add that Shahrukh is the name of our dog. And before you jump to any further conclusions let me add that I had nothing to do with naming him. In fact Shahrukh is the dog of the caretakers of our house. When I bought this house it came with the caretakers and their dog! Apparently Shahrukh (the actor) was shooting for a commercial in this house a few years ago, and that very day the caretakers bought a pup…, and named him Shahrukh. What are the chances of me buying a house which comes with a dog called Shahrukh!!!

Some of my friends claim that I bought the house just because of the dog. I would have to be a serious fan of Shahrukh’s to want to do that. Your guess…

All I can say is I’m waiting for him to come over, .

Well Shahrukh is once again begging for my attention, so let me get back to him. He is smelling too much, I think he needs a bath. “Heel boy, heel.”
-aamir

can u belive this...? a well respected,reputed,established aamir is publicly trying 2
make fun of SRK....!!!!
I never thought that aamir had any ego probs like most of the actors....
i was a fan of this guy,now i'm not...
and SRK was cool abt it and tod that he didn't have any prob wid sharing his name wid aamir's dog... thats professionalism...aamir,learn something frm SRK... & please dont make any more publicity stunds ike this again.... and make ur remianing fans(i'm sure their numbers have come down after his blog) feel ashamed that they are ur fans....

history of all the interviews i've attended...

2008-05-02T15:49:00.000+05:30

this is a brief history of all the interviews attended by me....

i went for placement in 6 companies.....

6th sem

1. CARITOR.
first time.....well,i didn't prepare 4 the aptitude...so,i couldn't clear the apt test....no pain,no gain.
so i didnt hav any regrets....
good thing is that 5 of ma frnds got selected......i' am really happy 4 them....

2.INFOSYS
i didn't hav much impression abt IT companies,until i saw the presentation of infy....i bcm a fan of infy after that...4 this too,i didnt prepare,and i lost in apti..i did regret 4 not preparing....3 got selected in infy...one was lingaraj,my good frnd...he really desrvd it.....

3.i-flex
same old story....didnt clear apt.....

4.satyam
i did prepare 4 this....and i cleared the apt...yihaaaaaa....
but,i threw away GD wid a silly mistake....,
but,then again....."EVEN IF YOU LOSE,DON'T LOSE THE LESSON"
i'm sure i'l be perform better nxt time.....insha allah...

5.L&T
wow these guys r paying 3.7 pa.....cool... i was all hope and went 20kms to the coll where we had interview.... but, they didn't even consider me for ritin tst....(NOT QUALIFIED)
they were strict abt %...i had 59...cut off was 60....cool,huh?

after this i decided that,i wont be satisfied wid a just pass in each sem.....i gotta get FCD.... will i?

8th sem

6.Wipro BPO
hmmm....t\swear,this was the last company on earth i wanted to join.... well we had this phone interview wid a lady(who was very good 2 me),i had 2 read some 3 paragraphs,then she asked some q's...thats all... i was selected 4 the final round...
final round eas just formality,they asked some q's and gave me the offer letter.... coll... at last,nish's placed.... i've still not decided if i'l go or not....

7.Mann-Hummel-Bosch Filters
well,these guys called me one morning and asked me 2 attend the interview next day...i told OK. i went 2 net and searched for the company profile...i was amazed 2 know tht this was one a German JV of MANN+HUMMEL & MICO BOSCH....!!
two of the most reputed companies in mechanical/auto field....i heard that they are giving good salary during training and even u may get a chance 2 visit Germany...!!
i committed in my mind that i'l try my level best 2 get selected....

day 1 of interview... only aptitude & technical test.... around 25 were present for the test... aptitude was a bit testing... i was sure i'l get above 90% in that... next came mechanical test... my God,it was full of manufacturing process,its a subject that i don't like much...but, i did it somehow... i had some hope in mind that i'l clear this round , cos i did the apti well...

call came after two days that i was selected for final interview.....!!!

i'l come back with that most wonderful interview i had ever attended... cos i knew after the interview i'd be selected... :)

a letter to the vice principal of HMSIT

2008-05-01T15:52:00.000+05:30

respected sir,
i'm a student of our collage since 2004,and i think u recognize me as well. i' was thinking of writing this letter 4 a long time.congrats for being selected as the congress candidate for tumkur...now u won't be available for a long time,right?... take this as the letter of hundreds of students of this collage who are suffering because of ur appetite for money and more money.... when i came here in 2004,the coll had 2 buildings,mess,and hostel. 4 years have passed,what is the change? only one library block ?(thanks 4 that anyway)... how much students have come 2 this collage since 04? you would have got hundreds of crores as profit till now...(i know this because one agent[we call him the black shit] alone got around 2 crores as commission from coll)...what are u doing with all this money,saving for ur life in heaven?(err,hell?)
at least can't u build a road and most important thing,can't u make a gate in front of the coll?
leave all that,the most important thing is the student should get the encouragement and environment 2 study.... i think u don't take into account that B.E is a professional course... and without the support of management students will suffer...
what kind of waste lecturers are u recruiting for teaching us? do u think we are some piece of shit(like u),who will be satisfied with anything? do u have any idea that 95% of our lecturers(all branches) are just bull-shit who doesn't know how 2 even spell the word" English"?
thank God that we are capable of studying ourselves..... but think of others who are helpless,who are dependent only on lecturers.... who are taking 6-8 years in completing B.E... their curse will follow u,4ever...
we are mechanical studs,and we have not seen any industry till now in our life... i was really embarrassed when in am interview,the interviewer asked,"how many industries have u visited so far"? i had 2 tell with a frowned face that ours is a developing coll,and though we didn't get any chance 2 visit industries,hopefully,our juniors will....
do u have any idea what sridevi coll,(which was established much later than ours) is doing 4 their students? they take students regularly 2 ind visits,the provide projects for students in leading industries.... what the hell r u doing...?
u know what is the most shitting thing that u r doing? i'l tell...what all things have u written in our website....? we have this ,we have that... don't u feel shy? u r showing our little mess and written that it is a cafeteria.... cool!!!
and the most fu@#^*g thing- why have u shown the pic of Yokohama stadium and written that it is" HMSIT International Stadium"...? shame on u sir....
making money is ok,but once in a while,think of the students who come here with lots of dreams,who thinks that one day they will become an ENGINEER,who take bank loans because of lack of money.... one day u have 2 give answer 4 their tears in front of GOD... Till then,enjoy sir... wish u best of luck 4 the elections....

YOURS FAITHFULLY,
A STUDENT OF HMSIT.

there are some type,who will just stand by even if someone is fighting u,who will flash the secrets which u told them cos u thot u could bliv them... these are the ones who will back stab u when they get a chance....

i'm fortunate enough 2 have both type of friends....

3 THINGS I'D LIKE 2 CHANGE ABT INDIA

2008-04-27T15:54:00.000+05:30

recently,i was thinking about our big India,and about the contribution that young ppl can do 2wadrds the development of the country.... if i'm given power 4 a day , what i'l do ? i'd do 3 main things....

1.delete all corrupt officials from the system
our country is one of the most corrupt countries in the world....even after this much corruption,our country achieved 9% growth for the last 3 years... just think,if we could stop all this corruption,our india will bcm a super power witinin the next 20 years....

2.abolish reservation based on caste
you know what is the most disgusting thing about india? its the fu$%#ng caste system and the reservation based on it....i do strongly belive that reservation should be solely based on economic basis. where on the world can you find ppl fighting for becomng under caste???? this system is the curse of india.

3.indian hockey
just see the pathetic scene of our national game,first time in history,india is out of olympics....!!!!
reason?
the ruling of some sardar,he's eating all the money and doing nothing for the upliftment of the game...
hockey players are payed only 1/10 the salary of cricket players...will youngsters come forward for playing such a downtrodden game which doesn't have any future? never
government should come forward and do something about this,after all ,its our national game....

public presentation...?? no sweat...!!

2008-04-14T16:02:00.000+05:30

wow... i did a seminar on automated highways last week....
mind u,it was the best seminar of the day....as the presentation concluded,there was clap and whisle all around... after the uttr failure of my last presentation,i never thot i could do this much better....
the lessons i learned...
1. be thourough in the subject,it will reflect when u present it.
2.interact wid the audience.
3. be cool,don't giv a damn about others think of u....

now i'm realizing my potential,i can do much better than this...,i'l do it.
yhere is no turning back...

crossroads of life....

2008-03-24T16:02:00.000+05:30

there is a point in everyone's life,where he will be standing in a junction,and he has 2 choose between those roads..... this one decision will decide his future..... i'm in that junc.
8th sem is just about 2 b over,and i'm not placed in any companies,(its my fault as i was not at all serious in my studies....)
well the damage is already been done,i've got to recover,get a very good % in my 8th sem,and i've 2 search 4 my job. a job means a mechanical job. a good company will give a head start 2 my career.......but,am i good enough? i think so....
i've decided that eventhough i've 2 suffer for one or two years with low salary,i'm going for it...

God bless me.....
