PerFect Engineer

Studying at the last moment for midsems this time ,thanx to the placement season , reminded me of an interesting incident told by my friend. There was a presentaion in his college by some successful(!!!) Software Engineer(forgot his name ),an Ex-IITian . He started his speech asking about the definition of an engineer,and how should we be as a prospective engineer in college. Breaking the silence of the PPT hall, A student stood up(very Kapil like) . According to him being a student,we should be obedient , attend all the classes. Study all the subjects with due sincerity before hand and bla..bla..bla.. .Well every thing u can associate with a student like Kapil.After he was done , Engineer said "These are exactly waht u should never do :-P".Every one broke to laughter. Studying at the last moment , handling the pressure of doing assignments(usually just before exams :P) , multitasking actually transforms us into students to engineers . Engineering colleges,apart from studies , also train us to perform for adventitious events.He continued telling his stories of IIT and what all an engineer(esp. computer engineer) has to face in life .There was much more , but the crux of his speech was how we should prepare ourselves ,to excel where u r not prepared.You can do well if you are prepared well for a task . But Life is an Extempore .

Well if we believe in him , DCEites will certainly be the best Engineers .This is what we actually learn in our four years of college ;-) .

GULAL ............a review NOT ...

This weekend i got to watch movie : GULAL by Anurag Kashyap . and i must say i wasnt disappointed by this Bolly flickat all. I just cant stand those songs running around trees :P . If you came here searching for some formal review of gulal movie giving u teasers of the movie you can stop reading it , and google another page . Itz my perspective of the film . As i said i rarely watch bolly movies , particularly hate those meaningless songsand item numbers (which account for major earning of movies ;) ) ; this was not much different in that respect , but the way songs(1 or 2 only in the film ) were mixed with the storyline , the way story moves with it , it seems a perfect way of presenting the complex plot. Movie deals with student politics , local rebellion to gain Back Rajputana , lead by Dukkey Bana(Kay Kay Menon) and the brother-sister couple (Aditya and Ayesha(Kiran ....forgot the name of brother :P)), the illegitimate children of an erstwhile Rajput king, trying to get the name o...

My Desktops New Look

After bearing up with the boring look of ubuntu , for quite a time , primarily due to lack of free time (dont think m a completely vella now days) , I decided to spice my Ubuntu a bit . Above is the snapshot of my latest desktop .Isnt it Cool ? Without going into technical details(I plan to keep this blog tech free , as much as i could, but no one knows the future ;-) ) Let me point out sm special things .First is at the right , displaying all specifications of my pc ,dynamically .Moreover i can change every thing there by just a small script . Next is the cool look of the boring terminal . and if u noticed , kde apps on ubuntu(amarok and ol ). I have kde installed on ubuntu too :-) ,Never forget noticing the panels and system theme . Mind you for all this , i havnt put much of extra resouce hungry apps. So not much loss in ubuntu speed . In fact for all practical purposes , loss of resources is negligible . You can say a perfect balance of look(eye candy) and performance. There'...
