Dairy Milk

From last few days I am eating 'Daily Milk' a lot. As if I am addicted to it.

I eat Dairy Milk at every small or big occasion.

It started with few lines of conversation along with my friend during Ind Vs NZ matche :

'aare india match har gaya cry'

'kuch nahi hota New Zeland to jeet gaya na razz'

'to fir meetha hona chahiye wink'

And at last I ended up with meetha i.e. 'DAIRY MILK' with my friend cool.

I am eating a Dairy Milk nearly every week even though there are no IND Vs NZ matches.

I don't know why I am writing this post, but I just want to bring out the thing in me that 'I love Dairy Milk' lol.

This is one of the video of Cadbury Dairy Milk ad, but I dont know the correlation between the ad and Cadbury. Still watch it, you will enjoy.

Save water

April is one of the hottest months and in this burning hot summer we are not having water at our place. This is the most disastrous thing we are experiencing this summer- 'WATER SCARCITY ' redface.

I am living on first floor and to bring the well water from the well obviously to first floor we made the arrangement of the machine. The required water is stored in the small tanks at our specific homes. This is possible only with the start of a machine i.e. with just click of a button. We are using this well water only for the external use. I hope I don't have to mention that external uses razz. We are having different water arrangement for the drinking purpose i.e. 'nal ka pani'.

Everything was going perfectly, but suddenly the machine crashed. It suddenly stopped supplying water anymore. This may be due to the reason that near about 5 families are depending on one single machine(I am living in a combined family). But I hope it might have not crashed in this burning summer cry. Now we all are realizing what water scarcity is.

Daily we went down just to switch on the machine but from few days we are going down to pull the water from the well with the help of a bucket and a rope. This is truly not happening twisted.

One person is pulling the water from the well and the other person is standing on the first floor with another bucket and rope and to pull the same water from the ground floor to the first floor. This is one of the toughest job I ever did. May be because I am lazy at these kind of works mrgreen.

But still I made my mind and body and went down to pull the water from well, so that at least we can bath eek. I pulled near about 18 buckets at a time and was feeling very enthusiastic and was ready to pull more. Pulled more 3-4 buckets and sat for a while, my mom felt pity and she only said 'that's it, we don't need any more'. But I was still ready to pull more 5-6 buckets. But stopped because I was tired after that.

I felt nothing at that time but when I woke up next day, I realized my body was paining tremendously and was not able to sit, stand or move any body part. I told this to my mom and we both started laughing lol.

At that moment I realized and felt bad for those people who lived in the areas where there is water scarcity at much higher rate and there efforts for bringing water from miles only just to fulfill there daily necessities neutral.

My body was suffering from pain only because I never perform any physical exercises. But this taught me one thing, "Never waste water, every drop of water is like 'jewel', use only the required amount of water".

I hope our machine gets ready to perform its daily activities as early as possible. I will never forget the pain and will always remember the lesson we got from it biggrin.

Project

Continued….

6 minutes with the external

At last done with the Project Presentation and the External viva yesterday.

We started with so called Project Subject from near about 2 months from now. From that day onwards I was waiting for yesterday's day i.e. PROJECT EXTERNAL VIVA. Working every day with the same thought in mind. As mentioned in the previous post, my project was 'A mini project', but we added few of the features in it to make it a project from our side. I was very much happy with it, but yesterday I realized after meeting the external that it was still a 'Mini Project'L.

We struggled for it for at least a month, so that its each and every module must work correctly. But before going for the external viva I was very much afraid for only one thing, 'Will I be able to express everything in just 20 minutes?'

Before the day of the external viva I was very much confident with everything. But the moment I entered the lab, the confidence was at no level. There were many other project groups who were with there mega project and ready to demonstrate it with many external attachments. Our project was nothing in front of there 'Mega Projects'.

But still somehow managed to raise some of the confidence level and impress the External that we made it ourselves without any external help. My Project Group no was 7. And we were ready to present it after Group no 6.

From Group No 1 - 6 we realized that the External is taking viva for near about 35 minutes of each group. I was in state of shock or surprise, what are they doing for 35 minutes? Group 6 completed there viva and it was our turn. We made external sit on the chair in front of the PC and displayed the first GUI of our project, he noted down the name and roll numbers.

He started with the question related to the project to one of the project member, next question to another member. Then it was my turn, I was eagerly waiting for the question and was ready to explain everything. He asked me one question whose answer was simply "YES". So, I ended up with just saying "YES".

He took our viva for only 6 minutes and in those 6 minutes I just said "YES". 3 minutes he questioned the other two members, 2 minutes he compared our project with other projects, 5 seconds he wasted in questioning me and getting "YES" in reply. And the rest 95 seconds in thinking 'What is this?', 'Is this the 3rd Year Project?'

He asked nothing else, showed no interest in knowing anything else. So we got only 6 minutes to explain what we did in the past 2 months. I am still confused with the thing, what marks or what remarks he is going to give me on my simple "YES".

Even though our project was nothing in front of others but still it is perfect of me. And before ending the post, I would like to say one thing to other project groups who made a MEGA project, if you made the project yourself, if you did the programming then hats off to you guys. You people are born intelligent and are god gifted. Hope you are proud of yourself. What are you doing here? Go get into some software company or develop your own business, you guys don't need anything.

Proof !

In this competitive world it is very important to be strong and confident among yourself. The best line which can explain my feelings is 'survival of the STRONGEST'. There is no place for the weak people.

Participating in various competitions is one of the major act which helps you to build these few things.

I always keep shouting that I participate in the events or competitions just for the sake of Certificates. I keep saying this just to create humor, but it is taken in many different or serious ways. But it is completely fine, because may be not the first but my third or forth point is just the 'Certificates'.

Today's world demands for proof. No one believes you. Therefore, just to present proof in front of everyone we need certificates. And yes I need it.

People, who say that they are not participating or taking part in any of the events for certificates, just try few things, throw away or burn your certificates of your state or national level competitions and prove that you were the participant. Let me know how many people believe you.

Certificates are not only for the competitions but the world even demands you for the 'Caste Certificates'. When some one is born their family members keep running here and there to make their 'Birth Certificate'. When someone dies, their family members keep running for making there 'Death Certificates'.

No one admits you or consider you a citizen till you don't have a valid caste certificates. From this I just want to say that certificates are really important which proves that you are the valid human being.

If people are ready to accept anything without proof. Then I would like to mention below few thing which I haven't told anyone yet.

George Bush is my Grandfather,

Hrithik Roshan is my Uncle,

I am from US,

I have completed my education from Australia,

I have invented Nano,

Google is my search engine and I have sold them to Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

This is just a trailer. If any one demands for the movie I am ready with it too :-p .

Are Birthdays really Special?

Can't write anything under this. Because I am still confused with it.

Project !

My blog was totally untouched from last month. This is truly a long gap. But what to do? This is because I was busy in some other work, so called "PROJECT", The Third Year Project. No time to eat, no time to sleep, no time to sit even for a while without worrying about anything, nothing but a hectic schedule.

Project at Diploma level are given just for the few good reasons - to have fun, to learn something from it, to be able to manage things easily. From these things I just realized the so called 'FUN'. What fun I had along with my friends is known only to me and my friends those who were in my Project Group.

The very first thing we did was to decide the Project Group. Which I guess was the most difficult job according to my friends. But there are many other difficult things we did after that. So, this was nothing. The next big thing was to decide the project. 3 project members and innumerous ideas. So, again a great problem. We came with the final 6 projects. We submitted our synopsis for one of the topic among them, but late changed it again three times.

We started working on the project 15 days before the presentation on the project was declared. In nearly 7 days we completed so called a 'project' from our side and a 'MINI PROJECT' from the others point of view. It was mega from our side because we made a line to line coding by our self. Without seeking anyone's help, without having much knowledge about the language, without knowing the various database options.

The worst thing we did while deciding our project was we were totally confused with the language, because we not having command in any of the computer oriented language, inspite of being a Computer Engineer student. I am not at all ashamed of telling this because no one is perfect by birth and no one becomes perfect at diploma level.

After our presentation we decided to enlarge it little bit. So we added various features to it. Instead of using the word add, we actually changed our project completely in 2 days. We made new GUI, new lines of code and a completely different project.

We faced many difficulties in the period of development of the project, we even faced Mental Harassment from some of the people we came in contact with, specially by one person I don't want to mention the name and spoil my whole blog and in turn my whole life.

The problem was not only while coding but it was again a total dimak kharab situation while making the thesis for the same. The thing which turned me off the most was watching the each and every page coming out of the printer, while the printing process of the thesis was carried out.

At last we are free today and away from the project, completing it up to date from our side. Let's see what the external is going to do with it. But we are totally ready for any damn thing because we have experienced more than worst thing during the whole process.

At last I just want to say few things to my reader:

  1. Never ignore anyone.
  2. Never pretend what you are not.
  3. Answer every call on your cell phone.
  4. Be truth full to yourself.
  5. And the last and important thing - always have a PRIORITY LIST for yourself.
