nothing and everything!!!

now that the placement feelinghas finally sunk in,its time to look at the world around again.
its really gloomy scene i might say!!well i'm not talking about anythingon personal level( na...)

its actually what's happening in our country that bothers me..

first of all the news channels havesuddenly woke up again to the sabrimalatemple incident..what a shame 2 our global image??imagine a country called as a hub 4 IT boom,country of modernists ,country having foreign investors lined up 4 trading..imagine such idiotic acts of discrimination against women of certain age group..i have no comments but 2 say its patheticthat such acts are still prevalent in society!!!

then when one starts looking around its not hindu religion who's been actinglike this! there are arguements like whyhave we never seen a female pope or female padri!!!(i can go on nd on nd on ..)


then one comes across plight of farmersin maharashtra. the very fact that thesuicides have continued even after PM's latest announcement of financial aid sayz a lot!!!its again really dispiriting 2 see farmers giving away their lives succumbing to financial pressures :(


then comes then news of indians struck in lebanon and fighting 2 make their way back 2 their home nation!!!


all these plights make our own appeargrotesque !!! how can we be cribbbing over our petty problems when there's so much to worry about!



all we are supposed 2 do is study during examsand manage good percentage!get a job somehow and start working@@while there are others fighting hard 4 basic necessaties@@how can we be complaining about right to informationwhen our right to pray has'nt even been granted!

there are girlies making statements like"one can never b too rich or too thin" well how can u be concerned with how u lookwhen ppl are dying in front of our eyes and u're nothing 4 that!
i have no idea what i want 2 convey from thispost!i just wanted a vent 4 my feelings and this one's the best available!


i am suggesting no reforms ! well i don't know any@all i wanted 2 do was tickle those jammed brainsto see what's happening all around!!it tells me i've been blessed with such great environment to live in with everything i'll ever need around me@@i don't want to spoil things by making any wrong decisions in life!

and if someone wants 2 take something gud from this post read on....
i've seen ppl fighting over such non existentissues that make u feel like slapping both andshaking them hard till they realize they are just wasting this beautiful life over absurd isues!!!
as far as i can recall most preposterous deeds areoutomes of clashing egos ! if one could just learn 2 cut out their attitude life would be so much moreendearing :)



so just chill!

CSC unleashed !!!

there were 5 rounds
-aptitude
-technical written
-extempore
-technical interview
-hr interview


i'm writing detail of interviews


TECHNICAL INTERVIEW !!!
my technical interview lasted about 10 minutes and ppl had there's lasting till half an hour so i was not sure wheather it was gud or not . but now that i have checked it seems i gave most correct answers :)
I WAS ASKED THIS

1.
INT I=5;INT J=7;INT K;K=++I+++J; COUT<
I SAID ERRORBECAUSE lvalue is requiredas ++i+++j will be reduuced to
++i++ +j
++i++will give ++5++which becomes 6++now it should have been 6=6+1but this is not true as 6!=7
we require a variable on left hand side hence lvalue required!!

then he changed the question to what will be output now
i+++j
ans is 12

2. what are deadlocks ?i gave a definition of system halt and 4 deadlock conditions!!!

3.write functions on call by value and call by reference

4. 3NF ??

2nf + there should be no transitive dependency
5.what is RDBMS ?

6.heap sort
i just said the upper key has higher value then lower key valuesin a heaprest i had no idea but i guess i defined heaps right so he
did'nt bother

7. binary tree ??


ABOUT PROJECT:::i had made an online testing software "analytica" using ASP.NET and ms access
he asked me to explain what i had done in that that was easyyyyy
may b there were more that's all i remember!


HR--educational background--family background--did u have any breaks in ur studies??--again he asked about analytica?( nd this was supposed 2 b HR) -he asked whether i did as part of some project or extra curricular activity--do u have any problem with our bond?? ofcourse not!!!


some more questions i heard.....something called aloha, all normal forms, mux-demux, arp, some crap about java,scope resolution opearator, abstract class, virtual class, os


will write more if i remember!!!

and yes i was selected :) !!!

Fountain Head Revisited !!!

before i forget all that i had read this summer i thoughtits better 2 make it permanent on the net!

so i read this book called "THE FOUNTAIN HEAD" (although the reason why itwas called so is not clear to anyone i know! i'll give my interpretation later).
the protagonist here is a banda called howard roark (an architect whonever finished college ) who's portrayed as an individual who's really rare to find these dayz!

the story unfolds different situations of roark's life nd gives the reader his perspective of looking at things and how other characters look at things.

roark is presented as a person who does'nt give a damn about what peoplethink about him! he believed that his college had nothing gud to offerhim. he believed that architecture should not be about creating fancy buildings but cheap affordable accomodations.


but these were not the qualities which made him different the thing which struck me most that it did'nt mattered to him what others felt of his work.he has been shown completely stoic to what he believes in and changed for nobody!!!just nobody!!!

well this kind of ideology might look as a daring one BUT..Is It Really Feasible???
can any one of us today just abandon the society we're living in and start living as we feel is right!can any one in today's world neglect the importance of group activities and find oneself potent enough 2 deal with anything?????

Audacity may appear as a gud quality of an artist, as he dares to try out new things but where do we draw the line??howard has been shown as a person who defies all norms that exist of present day society!


as we'll be part of the corporate world in near future we are supposedto dwell in groups and work as teams so i have some serious doubts whether there are any howard roark's in today's times??


well anywayz, he comes out as hero in the end and the book is gudreflection of how a person is exploited at hands of some smarter ppl!!!


advice:: ppl who wish 2 read the book must be ready for a boring start but as the story progresses u'll b totally into it!!!!!!!

rating:: ***(out of 5)


and about the title::well i think it was "fountain head" because howard roark was an abundantsource of knowledge!!( compare with fountain having abundant source of water).

don't expect any head with a fountain as i did!! :)

Muzic Unlimited!

sometimes i feel what would i do if there was no muzic in thisworld???
that's a really scarry thought....

with holidayz on verge of completion and placement fever runninghigh the one thing which made me feel gud all through this scorchingheat was gud muzic.though i know i can listen anything to anything under the sun(that just suits so perfectly !!) but this time round i fell for some really nice mesmerizing no's which i thought i must write down ,so that in case if i see this blog after sometime i can some tips 2 feel good!


the list goes like this..

->celine dion-beauty nd the beast
well this is what's written as song title but it has no beauty or beastin its lyrics.its a bewitching song nd these dayz i can listen 2 it all day long.

->james blunt-u're beautiful
although this banda is pretty freaky but he sings really well.this is one of those rare songs u'll like on the first go..(exception being there if u're deaf yr 2 gud muzic)

->ankahee- aa pass aa
the first time listened 2 it i was like wow..but alas i did'nt had this song although i had the whole movie'ssongs.that's when net came in handy nd i had it in no time nd enjoyed it thereafter..

->ricky martin- private emotion

though its hard 2 believe that the livin'la vida loca boy can givea soft song but this one though old is one of my all time favourites..

->enrique- hero
no list can be complete without enrique and his latino accent...though his videos can not be watched with ease(nd i really mean that!)but his songs can b listened 2 all day long!!!!!!!!!

some good albums..well there are ones like of raghav and jay sean which have all the nice songs. ppl like latest indian idol(don't know his name..) orthe zee's assamese invention stand no where near them.their muzic has touch of hip hop and nice tunes all in all a gud package!and there are many more but i'll need more space 4 that nd i've gotbetter works 2 b done so.. the list ends



its surprising infact shocking to see ppl existing without having a sweet tooth 4 nice muzic. well i've got a complete set of them!so ppl chill the hot weather with this sm cool muzic as i do!!!!

ciao
