Conscience Constitution

As life moves on and the complexity of life increases.. One starts finding the need for a box of principles he must stand on in short called Conscience Constitution. As every administration needs a rule book based on which decisions needs to be made, human life planning and administration also needs a constitution to move the life in right direction. If not, life will be a small boat travelling in an ocean without any compass. Without a compass like conscience constitution, human life will be directionless boat in an ocean, which moves ahead not based upon its own direction but under the influences of temporary satisfactions and emotional imbalances just like sea winds and tornados.

Why Conscience Constitution?

· It gives life a direction

· It directs our life in our own defined direction

· It makes life’s decision making process simple and effective.

· It provides you better control over your life

· It shields you from societal malfunctions like Mass Hysteria, Visionless influences and many more.

Real Life Scenarios

Have you ever in life confused on how to react to a specific situation and feared taking a wrong decision. For example, from childhood if you are interested in being a doctor and there comes and a point where you need to take Maths or Biology in after your class 12, People start influencing you. They try to scare that becoming a doctor needs a lot of hard work, you need to get very promising rank in the entrance examination, you need to face very high competition, it’s very unlikely u succeed, better take Engineering stream. Here comes the dilemma. Should I choose what I really want and take responsibility later for my decision or should I move on with the crowd choosing a safer option.

Person 1 (Who finds the above example very easy to solve)

The person who finds above example not that complex to handle must be having three principles already mentioned in his Conscience Constitution.

· Follow your heart.

· Don’t get influenced by others

· You have enough strength and confidence to take care of your family even in adverse conditions.

Person 2 (Who feels he is in dilemma in this situation)

This person too has a conscience constitution but he finds the points in it confliction each other

· Follow your heart

· Don’t be over confident about your skills

· Family is your first priority

· You can’t do which you don’t like

This person will be in serious dilemma and struggles to make decision and starts finding answers from others. Most likely he ends up taking the decision of the last person he has consulted before making the final decision.

Person 3 (Who has no concept of Conscience Constitution)

This person either has too many points or no points in his CC which stops him from thinking when he makes decision. These kind of persons just do off things randomly and struggle later to find excuses for their acts and finally end up with a compromising life.

Formulating Conscience Constitution

Everyone has basic CC which has the basic ethics and morals which were taught to us in our childhood. We never think of stabbing anyone or hitting anyone without any reason. We say sorry when we do mistakes. These kind of basic things will always be in the initial pages of our CC. As life in childhood, is pretty simple and is always under constant support of parents, we don’t need much of our CC other than these basics. As life moves on and things get complicated, there comes the need to add more points to our CC to make future decision making effective and less error prone.

So now how to add new points to our CC. Our mind has two power centers for decision making. One is our Mind and the other is Heart. A person is called too practical if he uses his Mind most of the times and called too emotional if he uses his Heart instead. When to use what is purely dependent upon ones social upbringing and one needs to consider these when he adds points to his CC.

The first point by default to be added always is “Never Violate CC at any cost”. If this is not in place, there is no point in having a CC.

The Other Side of the Ball!!!

I came across this in one of the email forwards... Its worth reading ..

In life, a lesson learned in your past that you will never forget completely.When I was in elementary school, I got into a major argument with a boy in my class. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson learned that day.

I was convinced that "I" was right and "he" was wrong - and he was just as convinced that "I" was wrong and "he" was right.

The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson. She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. "White," he answered.

I couldn't believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black! Another argument started between my classmate and me, this time about the color of the object.

The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed places, and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, "White." It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his viewpoint it was white. Only from my side was it black.

My teacher taught me a very important lesson learned that day: You must stand in the other person's shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective .

The Stupidest Exercise Machine You'll Ever See

BEING IN TWENTIES - SOMETHING

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing thatthere are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like.You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two,but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friendsthat you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people youhave ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the mostimportant ones. *What you don't recognize is that they are realizing thattoo, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are asconfused as you. ***You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought youwould be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that youare going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.
Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and findyourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you havecertain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to yourlist of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure andthen the next, secure.
You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone andscared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling onto the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is driftingfurther and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you areor move forward.
*You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do suchdamage to you*. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyonedecent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someonebut love someone else too and cannot figure out why you're doing thisbecause you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and randomhook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot startsto look pathetic. *You go through the same emotions and questions over andover, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannotseem to make a decision*. You worry about loans, money, the future andmaking a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great,right now you'd just like to be a contender!

RSS - My first impressions

Well today by chance i went to gurupujamahotsav and also a milan kind of event conducted by RSS to unite IT related people in RSS and also explain what RSS is to the newbies. After the event i realized that all the impression i had on RSS earlier was purely a misconception. Earlier i used to think that RSS is an organization which acts as a protector of Hindu's just like any other religious organizations, but its way beyond the reality.
I was surprised to see many intellectuals including people from IT holding respectable positions in various MNCS are volunteering the event in the typical RSS uniform. Later i was spell bound seeing a hindu muslim couple taking their seats in the meeting. I was really unable to figure out whats happening. Why on earth a muslim married woman is attending a RSS meeting!!!.
Later the event started and one of the senior associate of RSS has delivered a speech on the idealogies of RSS since its inception. This is the time my eyes started to open.
RSS which i earlier thought to be a pro hindu anti muslim organization is basically an organization which is evolved to bring up a sense of responsibility and patriotism among the citizens inorder to support and give a helping hand in eradicating the social meladies like untouchability, caste feelings, poverty and many more.
Its an organization which believes that the good taught by the hindu mythology must be practised to the betterment of the society.
Later i realized that the puja which is being done is not for any idol or any swamiji but for a saffron flag which symbolizes the idealogies of the RSS. They feel human is bound by limitations but not the idiologies. The following is a small paragraph in the pamphlet given by them during the event which gives us a glimpse of their ideology

"God gives us everything; let us also learn to give something.

Sun gives us light, air gives us fresh life and earth provides us food.

Let us also learn to do something that will benefit others.

The trees give us shade in the scorching Sun.

The beautiful maala gives us the fragrance of the flowers.

Let us learn to sacrifice for others like the benevolent tree.

Let us educate the uneducated.

Let us give voice to the oppressed.

Let us give a helping hand to those who have fallen back and spread the message of compassion and equality.

Let us light the lamps of efforts and illuminate the world".

Its basically whoever bounds their head towards the flag will strive for the betterment of the society and work for the upliftment of the backward and help the needy. Helping the unemployed by finding them jobs is also a part of the social service done by the organization.
After the event, i felt one must not come to conclusions unless he has a clear understanding on what he is concluding upon. From now though i may not be a hard core Rashtriya Swayam Sevak or not even a volunteer, i would atleast encourage one to join RSS if he has true inclinations towards social service regardless of any religion.

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:
"Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
"The world over -- 50 million children start playing tennis,

Recently i have come across a very good networking site called onefamily. Its not the usual friend making networking site, but its connects u to ur relatives. It maintains ur family tree and as the users increases day by day there are chances that u may find ur very distant relatives u never met or ur pals who are actually related to u.
As every human must be a relative to the other at somepoint or the other in the mega human family tree,i personally wish that the extented family tree will trace out in what way im related of my pals...

DONOT COPY & PASTE!!!

A popular motivational speaker was entertaining his audience.

He said: "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn't my wife!"

The audience was in silence and shock.

The speaker added: "And that woman was my mother!"

Laughter and applause continued!


A week later, a top manager trained by the motivational speaker tried to crack this very effective joke at home.

He was a bit foggy after a drink.

He said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my wife!"


The wife went wan with shock and rage.


Standing there for 20 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the manager finally blurted out "... and I can't remember who she was!"

Moral of the story:
Don't copy if you can't paste!

Old Monkey Story With A Twist

It's an old story that we read in Class 3 but with a new ending. I trust you will like it.

A haryanavi jaat hat-seller who was passing by a forest decided to take a nap under one of the trees, so he left his whole basket of hats by the side. A few hours later, he woke up andrealized that all his hats were gone.
He looked up and to his surprise, the tree was full of monkeys and they had taken all his hats. The jaat sits down and thinks of how he can get the hats down.
While thinking he started to scratch his head. The next moment, the monkeys were doing the same. Next, hetook down his own hat, the monkeys did exactly the same. An idea came to him, he took his hat and threw it on the floor and the monkeys did that too. So he finally managed to get all his hats back.
Fifty years later, his grandson, Sukhwinder, also became a hat-seller and had heard this monkey story from his grandfather. One day, just like his grandfather, he passed by the same forest. It was very hot, and he took a nap under the same tree and left the hats on the floor.
He woke up and realized that all his hats were taken by the monkeys on the tree. He remembered his grand father's words, started scratching his head and the monkeys followed. He took down his hat and fanned himself and again the monkeys followed. Now, very convinced of his grandfather's idea, Sukhwinder threw his hat on the floor but to his surprise, the monkeys still held on to all the hats.


Then one monkey climbed down the tree, grabbed the hat on the floor, gave him a slap and said........................

Break Down Rules !!!

Finally...!!!

Well Well Well, ladies and gentleman, bhayiyo our behano.

Finally the day has come!!! The day for which i have been waiting ever since 4 years right after my EAMCET counselling.

The day which gave my parents, my brother, my bhabhi, my friends, my well wishers…the loads of happiness.

The day which gave me loads of self satisfaction. Before you imagine something else, i will jus tell u what it is…its the day when i have cleared all four interviews of oracle.

Well it may not be among the greatest achievements for a student, but for me it really is. There is a valid reason for it. I haven’t studied in a great school, not a great rank in EAMCET, not from premier institutes like IIT's or IISc's and haven’t got great percentage either. But still i have managed to do get into a big product development company...

Its time for celebrations…my next post will be my interview experience from round 1 to round 4. Keep visiting dis space…

Would you like to know if your mobile is original or not ?????

Press the following on your mobile*#06# and the-international mobile equipment identity number appears. Then check the 7th and 8th numbers:

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7 th	8 th	9	10	11	12	13	14	15
Phone serial no.	x	x	x	x	x	x	?	?	x	x	x	x	x	x	x

If the Seventh & Eighth digits are 02 or 20 this means your cell phone was assembled in Emirates which is very Bad quality

If the Seventh & Eighth digits are 08 or 80 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Germany which is fair quality

If the Seventh & Eighth digits are 01 or 10 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Finland which is very Good

If the Seventh & Eighth digits are 00 this means your cell phone was manufactured in original factory which is the best Mobile Quality

If the Seventh & Eighth digits are 13 this means your cell phone was assembled in Azerbaijan which is very Bad quality and also dangerous for your health.

Determining if an integer is a power of 2

Ever wondered how to find if an integer is a power of 2 in a single statement,
this is a piece of code 4 u...

unsigned int v; // we want to see if v is a power of 2
bool f; // the result goes here

f = (v & (v - 1)) == 0;

Note that 0 is incorrectly considered a power of 2 here. To remedy this, use:

f = !(v & (v - 1)) && v;

This is how it works...

Case 1: Let v = 10 ,v - 1 = 9

Lets test v & (v-1)==0

v = 1010, v = 1001

1010 (v)

& 1001 (v-1)
------
1000 v & (v-1)(8 in decimal form)
------
v & (v -1) == 0 -> 8 (which is treated as true)== 0(false)

Hence, false is returned and 10 not a power of two.

Considering the alternative

!(v & (v - 1)) && v

!(8) && 10 -> 0 && 1 -> 0(Remember, any number greater than 0 in C is considered
as true and its negation is false i.e. 0 as '!' is
a logical operator.)

Case 2: Let v = 8 ,v - 1 = 7

Lets consider v & (v-1)==0

v = 1000, v = 0111

1000 (v)
& 0111 (v-1)
------
0000 v & (v-1)(0 in decimal form)
------
v & (v -1) == 0 gives 0 == 0 Returns true

Hence 8 is a power of two.

Considering the alternative

!(v & (v - 1)) && v

!(0) && 8 -> 1(true) && 1 (true)-> 1(true)(Remember, any number greater than 0 in C considered as true and its negation is false i.e. 0 as '!' is a logical operator.)

Hence 8 is a power of 2.

Punctuation Matters!!!




...it really matters..isn't it???

PIL against Rahman, Mittal for ‘slighting’ Anthem

A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Madras High Court against music composer A R Rahman and AirTel Chairman Sunil Mittal on the charge of dishonouring and commercialising the National Anthem.

On Independence Day, the Anthem, sung by 35 persons to the music set by Rahman, was telecast in some TV channels. J Mohanraj (55), a retired inspector of Chennai, has filed the PIL seeking stay on the sale of CDs and telecast of Rahman’s version and direction to the Government to confiscate the CDs.

“It has been stipulated in the anthem code that the longer version of the anthem should be sung in 52 seconds. But, these singers have violated the code by rendering the anthem for 98 to 110 seconds, Mohanraj told this website’s newspaper.

Second, when this “remix” was telecast, viewers were in various positions and thus unable to pay respect due prescribed. This amounts to dishonouring the anthem, V Manikandan, legal counsel said.

Further, the anthem has been “tampered with” for commercial benefits in the garb of patriotism. “Rahman has handled the anthem as if it were a cinema song,” Mohanraj added.

This is the recent news i came across...!!! I don't want to talk much about dis issue. But if i come across the retired police officer who filed petition against Rahman, i will show him the below picture and ask

Windows is Free...!!!

This post is inspired from at article by Dave Gutteridge. You can find the original article here. You might have wondered Windows is known for not being free software, then why the title says windows is free? Well though Windows is priced around 15k bucks in India, I wonder how many home users really buy the original software. The money to Microsoft mostly comes from Corporate and PC Manufacturers who bundle their software along with their pc's or laptops. Well coming to my experience, when I first saw computer and start realizing what a computer is, I never knew that windows actually cost. I started using my computer in my 10th standard. At that time all I knew was windows is a operating system and its cd costs 100 rupees in the computer shop. I have seen every one in our town buying assembled pcs with so called inbuilt windows, which actually is a pirated one. It took about 1 year for me to realize that iam using a pirated version of windows and there is a concept called original software which costs more than the rate to which my computer wala sells to everyone.

Pirating proprietary software became such an easy task that many don’t even bother to know what the actual cost of the software is. I myself downloaded many softwares from the internet with out even bothering about their true price. For a common computer user, the difference between pirated and open source software is that the first need a crack to be downloaded and the second doesn’t need any of such kind.

When one don’t even think of buying a stolen laptop or wrist watch or any other item , why don’t anyone give a second of thought before buying or downloading pirated software?

Its jus bcoz we know that the original owner of the stolen thing is loosing something and we choose not to be responsible for it. But in case of softwares, everyone knows Microsoft is a giant company, bill gates is the richest man in the world, Microsoft doesn’t loose anything if I use pirated windows or I refrain from using windows coz it gets its money no matter what i do.

Another factor which attributes to this piracy-free concept, which I think Dave has missed out in his article is softwares including songs, copyrighted videos and pictures are not real physical entities. They are the things which appear in the computer and disappear when u switch off ur computer. Even in the real world, if a manufacturer has a power to replicate his product without any extra cost or if any other individual has the power to make copies and distribute his Benz car to his kith and kin and if u r given a cover so that no one can see ur real identity and u can hide the things which u steal whenever u feel like, I bet many would prefer stealing the Benz car instead of going for a Maruti, or stealing a Nike shoe instead of going for a normal local made shoe. As this doesn’t happen in real world, piracy of Benz car or a Nike shoe is never found.

I feel there must be mapping the virtual world inside the computer to the real world in order to avoid piracy or any other illegal activities.One has to be tracked of his activities on the net like he is in the real world. One cannot make multiple or fake profiles in the real world, but it’s the computer world, its common. If one knows all the activities he does on the net attribute to his profile, he thinks 1000 times before doing a wrong thing on the net including using or downloading pirated software. The reality concept can be attributed even to the software companies. The number of copies they sell should be proportional to the pricing of the product. The more number of copies, the lesser the price.

Take an example of a Benz car. The brains needed to design and develop a Benz car are more or less equivalent to that of preparing high quality Windows like software. But most of the price which a consumer pays is the costs incurred due to manufacturing of the new car but not the technology developed to build the new car. Here the estimated purchasing effect the original price of the product. This is not the case with soft wares. One builds the software, creates a license for it and sells it to any number of customers with almost negligible cost of replication.

So finally I want to conclude that, the concept of piracy in the software and computer field is not really a piracy unless the manufacturing of the software is really made mappable to manufacturing done in the real world. To all the readers who reached till here, I would like to thank for patiently listening to my thoughts.

ILLOGICAL!!!

Students secures lower grades in the externals, after looking at the mark sheet he asks professor.

Student : "Can you answer any question ? " .

Professor: "Surely I must. Otherwise I would not be a professor!"

Student: "Great, well then I would like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an "A" for the exam. "

Professor: "Okay, it's a deal. So what is the question?"

Student: "What is legal, but not logical, logical, but not legal, and neither logical, nor legal?"

Even after some long and hard consideration, the professor cannot give the student an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an "A", as agreed.

Afterwards, the professor calls on his best student and asks him the same question.
He immediately answers: "Sir, you are 63 years old and married to a 35 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 25 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. The fact that you have given your wife's lover an "A", although he really should have failed, is neither legal, nor logical."

The idea is that only a robot would be stupid enough to enter all that crap when you ask it, so you can reliably filter for humans. Patents pending.

Joke: Interview at Infosys

Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.
Candidate: I am Kondesh Kulkarni. I did my Tele Communication engineering from BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology.

Interviewer: BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology? I had never heard of this college before!
Candidate: Great! Even I had not heard of it before getting an admission into it. What happened is - due to cricket world cup I scored badly in 12th. I was getting a paid seat in a good college. But my father said (I prefer to call him 'baap') - "I cannot invest so much of money". (The baap actually said - "I will never waste so much of money on you"). So I had to join this college. Frankly speaking this name - BabanRao Dhole-Patil, can at the most be related to a Shetakari Mahavidyalaya.

Interviewer: ok, ok. It seems you have taken 6 years to complete your engineering.
Candidate : Actually I tried my best to finish it in 4 years. But you know , these cricket matches and football world cup, and tennis tournaments..It is difficult to concentrate. So I flunked in 2nd and 3rd year. So in all I took 4 + 2 = 7 years.

Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6.
Candidate: Oh, is it? You know I always had KT in maths. But I will try to keep this in mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket matches really affect exams a lot. I think they should ban it.

Interviewer : Good to know that you want cricket matches to be banned.
Candidate: No, no.. I am talking about Exams!!

Interviewer: Ok, What is your biggest achievement in life?
Candidate: Obviously, completing my Engineering. My mom never thought I would complete it. In fact, when I flunked in 3rd year, she was looking for a job for me in BEST (Bus corporation in Maharashtra) through some relative ..

Interviewer: Do you have any plans of higher study?
Candidate: He he he.. Are you kidding? Completing 'lower' education itself was so much of pain!!

Interviewer: Let's talk about technical stuff. On which platforms have you worked?
Candidate: Well, I work at SEEPZ, so you can say Andheri is my current platform. Earlier I was at Vashi center. So Vashi was my platform then. As you can see I have experience of different platforms! (Vashi and Andheri are the places in Mumbai)

Interviewer: And which languages have you used?
Candidate: Marathi, Hindi, English. By the way, I can keep quiet in German, French, Russian and many other languages.

Interviewer: Why VC is better than VB?
Candidate: It is a common sense - C comes after B. So VC is a higher version than VB. I heard very soon they are coming up with a new language VD!

Interviewer : Do you know anything about Assembly Language?
Candidate : Well, I have not heard of it. But I guess, this is the language our ministers and MPs use in assembly.

Interviewer: What is your general project experience?
Candidate: My general experience about projects is - most of the times they are in pipeline!

Interviewer: Can you tell me about your current job?
Candidate: Sure, Currently I am working for Bata InfoTech ltd. Since joining BIL, I am on Bench. Before joining BIL, I used to think that Bench was another software like Windows.

Interviewer: Do you have any project management experience?
Candidate: No, but I guess it shouldn't be difficult. I know Word and Excel. I can talk a lot. I know how to dial for International phone call and use speaker facility. And very important - I know few words like - 'Showstoppers', 'hotfixes', 'SEI-CMM', 'quality', 'versioncontrol', 'deadlines', 'Customer Satisfaction' etc. Also I can blame others for my mistakes!

Interviewer: What are your expectations from our company?
Candidate: Not much.
1. I should at least get 40,000 in hand.
2. I would like to work on a live EJB project. But it should not have deadlines. I personally feel that pressure affects natural talent.
3. I believe in flexi-timings.
4. Dress code is against basic freedom, so I would like to wear t-shirt and jeans.
5. We must have sat-sun off. I will suggest wednesday off also, so as to avoid breakdown due to overwork.
6. I would like to go abroad 3 times a year on short term preferably 1-2 months) assignments. Personally I prefer US, Australia and Europe . But considering the fact that there is a world cup in West Indies in 2007,I don't mind going there in that period . As you can see I am modest and don't have many expectations. So can I assume my selection?

Interviewer: He he he ha ha ha. Thanks for your interest in our organization. In fact I was never entertained so much before. :-)) We look forward to working with you .. welcome to Infosys :-)

Sun Tech Days 2007, Hyderabad - Day Two

Day Two - 22 Feb 2007

Well after the rockin day one, the Day two started with once again a keynote session by da
Blacky. Dis time its not jus da same old tech speeches by famous techies.After the Oracle Key
note on developing technologies,ther was Java Jacket Ipod Nano giveaway. Java Jacket was given to da top performer on the stage among 6 who were randomly chosen by da host. The winner was a girl frm Vizag who has stolen everyone hearts with her "Annamayya Keerthana". The winner was decided by the level of applause they got frm audience. Its was really fun. Then a Ipod Nano was given away to a lucky one who took part in referring his frnds abt dis event. As usual i came out with empty hands...!

Then da day two tech sessions were started. We hav attended the One VM, Many Languages session. Its was awesome. It gave insights on future virtual machine tech wher u can interleave the Scripting and Java programming. Following dis ther was Java Puzzles session. He has shown around 6 - 8 puzzles and was quizzin the audience for da answers. Actually i hav got da answers for almost 5 among them. Initially i felt shy to go to da mike and speak out da answer and later wen i was ready 2 da mike, everyone else felt shy to listen 2 me. The geek who answered da first puzzle accurately with ascii values was given a 100 $ bill by Raghav(the host for dat session).

Asusual after coming out of da session with empty hands, we made them busy in da lunch session .After the lunch we came across a loooooong line into the univ track session. We stood in dat and with few cd's and survey forms entered into da hall.

The first session was " What's Going to Happen in the Next 10 Years and What you Should Know as a Student Today". Its was really an important session for students like me who r confused how to build their career and wat their priorities must be. The main points the host made in da session were

- Importance of innovation
Many developing countries like Philippines,Vietnam r beginning 2 posses da same skills wat indians r possesing nw (i.e. The English Speaking Abilities and Grip on Technology). If dat is da case why shud da US market or other companies outsource their tech projects to india wher da countries like Vietnam and phillipines hav much cheaper currency rates? He said its da innovations dat come out of the country r their future. He suggested all da students to be passionate towards technology, show fast learning skills and more importantly show innovation. Come up with innovative ideas, start a company. Even companies like Google, Amazon were once startups. The more the startups , the more chance of them being ended up in da scale of Google, Amazon or Yahoo.

- The First Step to innovation is to learn da previous innovations
He adviced the students to join da active open source communities and learn how da earlier innovations took place. How da source code of highly performing Solaris or Java JDK were written. Understand the technology, buid ur imaginations with da help of it.
This session was da most inspiring and student oriented. Following this ther were sessions on
Java 2D and Sun Univ Program.

Finally left the Hicc with a cool Java Coffee Cup n heavily loaded material in brain to think abt it.

Sun Tech Days , Hyderabad 2007 ... Day one!!!

Well its over...!!! The Third day concluded few hrs back...!!! Comin to da my review abt da event..let me jus giv a brief overview of da event 2 those who r hearing abt Sun Tech Days for
the first time.

Sun Tech Days is a worldwide developer conference conducted by Sun Microsytems inorder to update the developers and students worldwide abt the latest trends in Information technology,latest advancements in technology, and da future of Open Source Movement. As a part of da wordwide tour, luckily dis time its held in Hyderabad.Dis time da number of attendees are more than 5k and ther was live satellite streaming in Delhi and Pune.Its a three day event with sessions on various technologies..

My experiences...

The Day One - 21 Feb 2007

Well i was always been a fan of Sun Microsystems as i luv da way they brand da technologies...The venue for dis event is Hyderabad International Convention Centre. Hav 2 accept dat its truly world class!!! It has highly sophicticated equipment and spaciour seminar hall which can easily accomodate more than 5000 at once. Right frm da moment we entered the hall and took our seats, we started experiencing da Sun Branding. The Sun Tech Days stage, da Sun Balls running around da audiences, the laser projected Sun logo running all over place on the walls.Then da lights turned off and da 4 large LCD screens activated, ther comes the splashing into of Sun Microsystems and its technologies. It was really mind blowing.Following the intro ther comes the Host of da show...a US blacky more than 6 feet tall n with a "Guru" style body language. Da way he hosted da key note was awesome.There were a brief speeches by Sun Micro India head Mr. Bhaskar, followed by B. Ramalinga raju, and Rich Green( Sun Vice President). Rich Green gave his insight on the evolving Web 2DotO followed by a rapidfire demo session on da hot technologies of Sun.

Later da big hall was split up into two sections to facilitate two tracks simuntaneosly. Track 1 was more of Java EE where as Track2 concentrated on Java SE and simultaneouslyTrack 3 for Java ME,Track 4 for Open Solaris.

We attended the Track 1 initially which was a session on Project GlassFish, an open source project to device the new Java EE 5. It was truly an odd one off all sessions. The speaker Carol McDonald doesnt seem 2 hav gud command on the topic she was presenting. Underestimating da audience she started the Q n A session. As everyone knw indians r rock solid wen in comes 2 technology, they flooded her with ques and she literally gav a blank face n gav it up finally!!!

"Dear Sun Team we love u for ur technologies but dont underestimate standards of indians"

Anyways frm then da session were truly world class. The speakers were truly amazing and presented their technologies with excellent command and answered the audience questions with amazing ease.I have attended da session on Java Derby, followed by Application Development in Solaris,Opensourcing Java etc...

Finally after streneous tech sessions, there comes da mind boggling show of 'KK'. His songs choice was fabulous and it made even da geeks jump around da dias.The final impression on day one can be stated in a single word "Truly World Class". The way they handled the 5k+ crowd was excellent.

...to be continued(watch out for day two)
