Time magazine's quote on Sachin


Time Magazine's quote on Sachin:

"When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam.When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy.It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will."

interview



Interviewer said "I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult question. Think well before you make up your mind!" The boy thought for a while and said, "my choice is one really difficult question." "Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice! Now tell me this.
"What comes first, Day or Night?"
The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depends on the correctness of his answer, but he thought for a while and said, "It's the DAY sir!"
"How" the interviewer asked.
"Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!"
He was selected for IIM!

Technical Skill is the mastery of complexity, while Creativity is the master of presence of mind.
This is a famous paper written for an Oxford philosophy exam, normally requiring an eight page essay answer and expected to be backed up with source material, quotes and analytical reasoning. This guy wrote the below answer and topped the exam!

* OXFORD EXAMINATION BOARD 1987* *ESSAY QUESTION*
Question: What is courage? (50 Marks)
Answer: This is courage

Driving in Bangalore/India


This hilarious article was written by a Dutchman who spent two years in Bangalore, India, as a visiting expert. A little long article but worth reading it!!!        


Driving in Bangalore / India


For the benefit of every Tom, Dick and Harry visiting India and daring to drive on Indian roads, I am offering a few hints for survival. They are applicable to every place in India except Bihar, where life outside a vehicle is only marginally safer.        
Indian road rules broadly operate within the domain of karma where you do your best, and leave the results to your insurance company. The hints are as follows: Do we drive on the left or right of the road?
The answer is "both". Basically you start on the left of the road, unless it is occupied. In that case, go to the right, unless that is also occupied. Then proceed by occupying the next available gap, as in chess. Just trust your instincts, ascertain the direction, and proceed. Adherence to road rules leads to much misery and occasional fatality. Most drivers don't drive, but just aim their vehicles in the generally intended direction.
Don't you get discouraged or underestimate yourself except for a belief in reincarnation; the other drivers are not in any better position. Don't stop at pedestrian crossings just because some fool wants to cross the road. You may do so only if you enjoy being bumped in the back. 
Pedestrians have been strictly instructed to cross only when traffic is moving slowly or has come to a dead stop because some minister is in town. Still some idiot may try to wade across, but then, let us not talk ill of the dead.           
Blowing your horn is not a sign of protest as in some countries. We horn to express joy, resentment, frustration, romance and bare lust (two brisk blasts),or just mobilize a dozing cow in the middle of the bazaar. Keep informative books in the glove compartment. You may read them during traffic jams, while awaiting the chief minister's motorcade, or waiting for the rainwater to recede when over ground traffic meets underground drainage.

Occasionally you might see what looks like a UFO with blinking colored lights and weird  sounds emanating from within. This is an illuminated bus, full of happy pilgrims singing bhajans. These pilgrims go at breakneck speed, seeking contact with the Almighty, often meeting with success.      
Auto Rickshaw (Baby Taxi): The result of a collision between a rickshaw and an automobile, this three-wheeled vehicle works on an external combustion engine that runs on a mixture of kerosene oil and creosote. This triangular vehicle carries iron rods, gas cylinders or passengers three times its weight and dimension, at an unspecified fare. After careful geometric calculations, children are folded and packed into these auto rickshaws until some children in the periphery are not in contact with the vehicle at all. Then their school bags are pushed into the microscopic gaps all round so those minor collisions with other vehicles on the road cause no permanent damage. Of course, the peripheral children are charged half the fare and also learn Newton's laws of motion en route to school. Auto-rickshaw drivers follow the road rules depicted in the film Ben Hur, and are licensed to irritate.
Mopeds: The moped looks like an oil tin on wheels and makes noise like an electric shaver. It runs 30 miles on a teaspoon of petrol and travels at break-bottom speed. As the sides of the road are too rough for a ride, the moped drivers tend to drive in the middle of the road; they would rather drive under heavier vehicles instead of around them and are often "mopped" off the tarmac.           
Leaning Tower of Passes: Most bus passengers are given free passes and during rush hours, there is absolute mayhem. There are passengers hanging off other passengers, who in turn hang off the railings and the overloaded bus leans dangerously, defying laws of gravity but obeying laws of surface tension. As drivers get paid for overload (so many Rupees per kg of passenger), no questions are ever asked. Steer clear of these buses by a width of three passengers.     
One-way Street: These boards are put up by traffic people to add jest in their otherwise drab lives. Don't stick to the literal meaning and proceed in one direction. In metaphysical terms, it means that you cannot proceed in two directions at once. So drive as you like, in reverse throughout, if you are the fussy type. Least I sound hypercritical, I must add a positive point also. Rash and fast driving in residential areas has been prevented by providing a "speed breaker"; two for each house. This mound, incidentally, covers the water and drainage pipes for that residence and is left untarred for easy identification by the corporation authorities, should they want to recover the pipe for year-end accounting.     
Night driving on Indian roads can be an exhilarating experience for those with the mental make up of Genghis Khan. In a way, it is like playing Russian roulette, because you do not know who amongst the drivers is loaded. What looks like premature dawn on the horizon turns out to be a truck attempting a speed record. On encountering it, just pull partly into the field adjoining the road until the phenomenon passes.   
Our roads do not have shoulders, but occasional boulders. Do not blink your lights expecting reciprocation. The only dim thing in the truck is the driver, and with the peg of illicit arrack (alcohol) he has had at the last stop, his total cerebral functions add up to little more than a naught. Truck drivers are the James Bonds of India, and are licensed to kill. Often you may encounter a single powerful beam of light about six feet above the ground. This is not a super motorbike, but a truck approaching you with a single light on, usually the left one. It could be the right one, but never get too close to investigate. You may prove your point posthumously.

Football: Important message

Extremely important recommendations for wives, girlfriends, fiancées, mothers, sisters and daughters who have a football fan at home. :)

1. From 11th June to 11th July, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. The remote control will be fingerprinted each night, any sign of your fingerprints and all shopping trips will be cancelled for a month.

2. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, for an important reason such as preparing snacks or getting in the beers, I don't mind, as long as you crawl along the floor.

3. During the football season, read the sports section of the newspaper so that you get the flavour of the football season.

4. During the games I will be blinkered to match. You cannot expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, it won't happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. Please, please, please!! if you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say ' get over it, it's only a game', or 'don't worry, they'll win next time'. If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called 'words of encouragement' will only lead to a break up or divorce.

7. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.

8. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because I will not go, I will not go, and I will not go. However, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.

9. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. The daily football season highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even say 'but you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch?

10. And finally, please save your expressions such as: 'Thank God the football world cup is only every 4 years'. I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Premier League, Italian League, Spanish League.

Thank you for your co-operation.:)


WISHES TO ALL FOOTBALL FANS ON THE EVE OF SOCCER WORLD CUP SOUTH AFRICA 2010 :)

NITC has 2 annual fests: - a techno-management fest, Tathva and the cultural fest, Ragam.

The spectacular cultural festival of NITC- Ragam is set to be staged on the 24th to the 27th of March. For this cultural extravaganza, we expect over 4000 students from over 200 colleges across the globe to participate, in addition to our own students who are 5,000 in number. Ragam '10 plays on the theme of 'hue'manity, linking the campaign against climate change with the colours of youthful hope and determination. We the students of NIT-C took our fight against global warming to the streets, by launching two rallies which were held in Calicut and Ernakulum on 13th and 14th of February respectively.

Ragam events have always scaled the heights of unmatched success with regard to its standards and all these years we've had a swarm of participants rushing in for our competitions. This year Ragam portrays an array of events which includes dance, dramatics, music, fine arts, vogue or if you have the gift of gab, you have literary and debating events, still if you feel that it is not your cup of tea, then we have a handful of workshops and a set of enthralling exhibitions and gaming arenas all awaiting you at this Ragam.

As the sun sets by, the Open Air Theatre will be alive with the energy of thrilling live performances every night. There is something for everyone over the three nights, beginning with the Choreo Night, followed by the two Popular Nights, and culminating in the Rock Show. For the previous Ragams, we had musical nights by the popular Bollywood musical maestro Shaan, the legend of melodies- Shankar Mahadevan, and a rock concert by "Raghu Dixit Project". The new generation singers from South India like Karthik and Benny Dayal, in addition to an international performance by Breathe the Floyd and the white metal band- whitenoise had mesmerised and dazzled the viewers.

Continuing with the trend, this year we will have proshows by the bollywood sensation K.K on the 25th of March,


Naresh Iyer on the 26th of March,



and a tribute band of Iron Maiden, the Higher On Maiden on the 27th of March, all the way from London.

Why women are so special? But be Greatly Special by Understand








This is a beautiful article:

T he woman in your life...very well expressed...


Tomorrow you may get a working woman,
but you should marry her with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as
you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as
much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook
food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,
and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother,
a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as
to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

One, who can be late from work once in a while
whendeadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important,
relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some
and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this.......

Please appreciate "HER"



I hope you will do....


Respect Her
.

Forward this to as many women as possible... they'll love you for it!
Forward this to as many men as you can so that they'll know why women are so special :-)

Calicut University style of "Computer Science Engineering" !

 

 

Calicut University style of “Computer Science Engineering” !

As we all know, engineering is getting much much popular in Kerala; rather all over India. We have numerous institutions for engineering aspirants in our state, which include Government, Aided and Self Financing institutions!. My college is affiliated to Calicut University, the most prestigious university in Kerala State, providing education in a large number of courses like engineering, arts & science and more.

We had Semester 4 university examination yesterday and the paper was CS04 405 : Computer Organization and Design. We never knew that Funny things were awaiting us on the question paper from the great Calicut University. I draw your attention to one or two questions among them !

  • Define Elaboration.
    • Google search ” elaboration computer science” gave me a variety of answers, but none connected to our subject Computer Organization and Design. I found some thing related to Ada Programming Language etc.
    • Another thing is that, In our textbook by Patterson and Hannessy, Page No. 88 ( and more; see page 128 etc. ), there is a subheading called Elaboration where authors try to explain a bit more on topic they are now dealing with !
    • Is this a mistake from examiner that he just took a heading he saw while looking in the textbook for questions and asked us to define that?. Or my mistake that I didn’t find ample time to try a google search before my examination and study what is Elaboration ?. I don’t know !!
  • Write short notes on Fallacies and pit falls
    • For the kind information of the examiner, Fallacies and Pitfalls are present at the end of each and every chapter in the textbook by Patterson and Hannessy. So which one should I write for your question ?.  Authors have used this section to describe those errors/misunderstandings which may occur to their readers while going through the concepts.
  • Computer Science Engineering student being asked to add 6 and 7 in binary !.
    • I thank the examiner for asking me such a simple question for 5 marks, I took the pain to write 32 bit patterns for both 7 and 6, got the answer 13 in binary, then took the pain to show him the steps that convert binary to decimal. I did the last step since the question showed me 6 and 7 in decimal.

In short, Computer Organization and Design answer papers will be the creative works of Engineering Students!

Bottom Line : Calicut University ( I don’t know much about other universities ) question papers are full of wonders. Sometime they give papers which are really  tough/hifi stuffs, else paper contain things like above. Both  will lower the quality of students. Our mathematics 4 paper is a best example, the questions were really tough, and we were unable to understand the questions. Atleast, in the case of students like me in Govt. college, the portions covered in lecture sessions are so small that we have to mug up the rest of the modules ourselves. We do that without knowing what we are doing, none of us have the strong foundation in our core topics. Now, we are preparing for CS04 405: Electronics Circuits and Systems, our professor has taught us only 2 or 3 topics in module 1. We don’t even know what the other modules are dealing with, but we have to study that. It is only our need to score marks and B Tech. degree !
