My 64 days of life in CDAC

I joined FPGDST course at CDAC Bangalore on 6th August 2007. As I was new to the city, I had come a bit earlier i.e. a day before the joining. I made a special attempt to come earlier so that one day I could go around the city and familiarize my self with the city. Accordingly, I spent my day on 5th going around the city. I also visited to electronic city to have a look at the facilities that are available in the neighbor hood. I visited the hostel and various other locations.

On 6th I came in to CDAC at the scheduled reporting time i.e. in the morning at around 9 A.M. I was highly impressed by on that day by observing every thing was being done as per schedule indicating the importance being paid to the punctuality that was maintained in every task

At 10 A.M we had an inaugural lecture. The lecture was nice enough except for the harsh realities spoken in few words by Raman Sir which at that point of time seemed to discourage a fresher from pursuing the course. The words spoken were,” if any time you feel that you cannot cope up with the course you must leave and go”. The actual lectures were delivered on the right on the first day itself.

Right from the first day we had started implementing what we learned. Every thing had to be done on time. We could not be even a minute late for our tea or dinner or the only answer we would get is over form the person present there.

We had already started sitting at nights till about 1. Initially I found a lot of difficulty in sitting at night as I did not have the habit of sitting at nights. I used to work the whole day but would never wake up
at night. The reason for this was that I have migraine problem so it was suggested by the doctors to have ample sleep. But slowly I started adjusting and within a weeks time my sleeping time had changed from 10.30 in night to 1.

I had already done java in my graduation so initially I did not find difficulty in making small programs. But as the programs started getting complicated I some times would have the feeling that I would never be able to do those programs. The main reason for this was that my friends used to make those programs very quickly and it took me a lot of time thinking logic for these kinds of programs. The thing behind this was that we had never been doing such kind of programs before so it took some time before I got adjusted to such a level of programming.

By this time our MGPAS had started. I easily cleared my first MGPA. After this the trouble and a period of frustration started. I could not clear any MGPA from second to fourth. I felt so disappointed and often started feeling that I would never be able to see the magic figure of 4 MGPAS. But fortunately with God’s grace I could clear the next 3 MGPAS to reach the target figure and then I cleared one more. That made my total to 5. With the MGPAS running we also had maths exams and tcom evaluations. This was the first time in life that we were having such a lot of work load. There are still a lot of topics that I have still not covered and I am struggling to complete some subjects....

I have learnt a lot in this trimester. A lot about life..... And a lot to learn is still left in coming period

My Future Dream...

Often a question comes in my mind what am I going to do in future? In the first instance life seems to be a dark tunnel. I then feel a ray of light appearing from the farthest end of tunnel. I always think that tunnel is equivalent to unknown part of life. At the end of the tunnel there is a source of light. This is the goal of the life. One has to move with the help of the ray of the light.

Our hard work and sincerity is nothing but this ray of light to achieve the goal. It is therefore of utmost importance to set the goal. Means can be found to achieve the goal. Efforts to achieve the goals are nothing but the means.

In line with the above philosophy I am trying to find the answer to the question I have put at serial number.

• I have set a goal to become successful man in life।

• To me success means not to be only a successful professional but also a person of set principle.

• For this I have set certain principles like truthfulness no-drinking, nonsmoking.

• I have tried to learn from the life of great people.

• On the professional front I want to be a successful entrepreneur.

• The route to be followed is first do internship with some leading concern.

The area of interest for me is software development. This is the reason for me to first pursue a carrier in Computer Applications. Subsequently, I have taken admission in this course. In the beginning I felt very uncomfortable in the atmosphere here. The schedule was very tight. The food was not of the kind we are used to. We have to put exceptionally long period in class and lab.

To me it seemed that I am cut off from the rest of the world. Slowly I started adjusting with the surroundings and life style. I started enjoying long period of working in the lab. Not only this I found that the feeling that though the names of course are repetitive there is a lot to learn. I have also become more confident now. The best thing I have found here is the method of communication. This method of communication is through blog writing.

I am hopeful that if I can complete the course successfully, search for the job shall be automatically over. In such an event of my becoming an entrepreneur after facing real life situation can be met. This will be coming out of tunnel to light. The light of joy and happiness which like any young man is also my dream. I request every one to pray the almighty for successful completion of the course to enable me to achieve my goal.

Youth....

An analysis is often carried out about the antecedents of the members of the winning team. On the analysis of the cricket team which won T20 world cup, it was found that a good number of members belonged to tier cities. Even the members of Metros belonged to lower and lower middle class cities.

Similar is the case of the winners/top ten members in various reality shows. One of the jury member of recently concluded popular show of Indian Idol has said again and again that the participation of the entire country has proved to be threat to the monopoly of the metros. As a matter of fact, it will be appropriate to say that the glory being achieved by the country in recent past is due to spread of awareness in tier II and tier III cities.

This is still to be spread to ton and village areas. The reason for awareness seems to be revolution in the field of communication. With the introduction of TV even at block levels, information has not remained the monopoly of a few.

Earlier the opportunities used to be grabbed by few powerful people. Since the persons representing in various fields were there not because of capability but because of resources, the country was lagging behind in all fields. Spread of means of communication like TV, telephone, internet has not only spread awareness but also has worked as binding force among different region. Through various TV serials, the constraint of language has been overcome. Respect for the tradition and values of different community are now being appreciated by one and all. All this has resulted in the cordial atmosphere in the society.

The children and youth being more adaptable have given a new direction to the country. As a result noticeable progress has been made in all areas. Number of persons living below poverty line has come down substantially.

There is tremendous creation of wealth in the country. A lot of this has been created by the youth who have come from urban background but belonged to lower middle class family. In spite of this the dream of our freedom fighters of making the country as Ramrajaya has remained unfulfilled.

The meaning of Ramrajya is a country where basic facilities are available to every one. Even today, there are many villages which are not connected by road There is no water, electricityand sanitation facilities in these places. There are no medical facilities. People go without food.

What is the solution? The solution lies in making the facilities to farthest end. How is it possible? It is possible by changing the attitude. Changing the attitude from living under any circumstances to live in the best. It is possible by increasing the expectation of one and all. For this efforts are to be made to follow the policy of involvement instead of exclusion. Involve the youth from all corners of the country in developmental work. Involve the youth in decision making. Evolve the feeling of belongingness. Develop team spirit.

This will give new direction top the country. There will be peace and prosperity in the country. New heights shall be achieved.

Blogging Habit

In this blog of mine I will like to bring light to one of the habits that I have learned from CDAC after joining the FPGDST course। I used to write blogs even when I had not come here. But the entire motive of those blogs was different form what it had been here.

Earlier I used to write blogs on some topics which were of my interest and some of those which were in my course. I would usually make some notes on the topics of my course and post them on my blog so that everyone in the class can benefit from those. We had various kinds of subjects like some were computer related, other were management related. I would always prefer to surf the net and make notes for the computer subjects and post them on my blog space from where everyone could just access them. I return I would take management subject notes from my friends. Also some times I used to write about some topics that interested me.

My blog writing was confined to just getting some interesting topic of my choice and then searching about it to increase my knowledge and then write my own views about it.

After coming here I followed the same practice of writing the blogs with topics that interested me by searching about them and writing my own views about those topics.

One fine day we had our MGPA(machine graded programing assignment test), after coming out of the exam hall I found that many students had gathered around the student notice broad. So naturally I also proceeded towards to find out what has happened. Our TCOM grades for the blogs evaluation had been put up. Mostly everyone was shouting that they had failed. I thought I might have passed in the subject as I had been doing this for quite long now. But to my surprise I had also got a FAIL grade.
Also along with the grade I had a remark stating that I had copied. Also the name of the web site from which I had taken the points of my last blog was written there.

Later in the evening I located my TCOM faculty and discussed with there that what was wrong with my blogs that I had completely failed in the entire evaluation. The only thing I was told that because I had copied something in even one of my blogs thats why the whole evaluation will be
considered as a big zero.

I felt so frustrated for failing in the evaluation even though I had not copied much as compared to my fellow colleagues some of whom had copied the entire pages. I also stood on the same ground as they were on.

Since then I thought of writing my blogs more sincerely and with some better topics. So that I may pass in my next evaluation. I chose some topics of interest and till now have written on them hoping for a good result, till one fine day we nearing our term-end and I happened to question my faculty that how many more blogs I have to write in order to satisfy the needs for the evaluation. The answer I expected from here was to be some particular figure. But the answer was 'You have to Write blogs all your life now so that the world will know you and know what You think.....'

I have read a lot of Raman sir's blogs. I am deeply impressed by the way he maintains his blogs even after a tight shedule and is able to convey his views to the world.

I would also like to inculcate such a blogging Habit in me so that people can know more about me....

Indian IT business --- A Perspective.

Nowadays everywhere in the country a statement is often made that Indian IT business is fast enlarging the globe. This is due to the fact that the growth in this sector has surpassed all the records in the country. Not only this, the growth in this sector is comparable with fastest growing economy of any country in the world.

The growth of the economy is supported by IT software and services which inter-alia includes System Integration, IT Consulting, Application Management, Infrastructure Management Services, Software testing, Service-oriented architecture and Web services.

This has resulted into outsourcing in all the services sectors by the developed country in India. It has been estimated by Nasscom, that the revenues amounting to US$ 39.6 billion were earned by Indian IT-ITeS industry in 2006-07. Thus, in last financial year, the growth in this sector has increased by 30.7 per cent against a projected growth of 27 per cent. The growth rate in software as well as services export has been sustained over the years.

There is sufficient growth in domestic sector as well. This has resulted in the growth of Indian IT industry at a rate well ahead of the global industry, which is growing at about 10 per cent a year. As such the big names of the industry i.e. TCS, INFOSYS and WIPRO have maintained their position as top IT exporters. This has resulted in increase of the wealth of all the shareholders. Number of persons has become millioners just because a few shares were purchased by them in the initial days of these companies. This has also resulted in creation of number of jobs both in IT industry and other industries.

According to a study, the investment of amount equivalent to one rupee in the IT/ITES sector on indigenous goods/services adds amount equivalent to two rupee in the economy. This has prompted top Indian companies to earmark funds for incorporating and development of IT and It related services. Even all major Public sector companies have started making sufficient expenditure on this account. Contrary to popular view of abolition of jobs due to automation, study shows that for every job created in this sector, four to five jobs are created in the other areas. It is expected that this industry, if kept the pace of growth, shall create approximately 12 to 15 million additional jobs by 2010.

As the opportunities are being created not only by top notched companies but also by small and medium enterprises. The software development has become a short of small scale /tiny scale industry in which every member of the family gets involved. This is the reason that this industry has become one of the largest employers in a small period of time. To keep the pace of growth, it is necessary to maintain the quality of services being provided. This will necessitate identification of the areas where improvement can be done. After identification sufficient funds are to be earmarked for research and development in such areas. Besides the country is to be showcased as the best destination for carrying out the R&D activities.

Some of the largest IT companies have already seen this potential and have invested for creating global R&D centre for them in India. All the above factors put together have given big hopes to private equity players. They are investing in the country generously. This type of development has thrown a bog challenge to the country in terms of requirement of inputs. The major input is in the form of continuous availability of proper manpower both in the field of software and hardware. and their retention in the country.

It is difficult to have latest indigenous hardware. The stress is to be laid on developing the in-house hardware and their maintainability. The software professionals are to be strengthened in skill. The conducive atmosphere to software professional in the country is to be developed. While we are ready to meet the challenge, we have to be careful about the threats that may arise because of the envy by other countries. For this sufficient education for development of hardware industry is to be imparted, besides creating conducive environment for retaining Software professionals in the Country.

Importance of 2nd October

Since childhood, I have enjoyed three national holidays namely 15th August, 26th January and 2nd October. National holiday on 15 August is on account of Independence Day as on this date in 1947 we became free from British Rule. National holiday on 26 January is on account of Republic Day as on this date in 1950 the constitution handing over the power to people was adopted. 2nd October was initially declared as a national Holiday on account of the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi the father of our nation.

Later on this was found that our second elected Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahdur Shastri was also born on the same date. Of late, even 14th April is declared National Holiday every year on ad-hoc basis. This is declared on account of the birthday of Dr.B.R.Ambedkar who is considered as the author of our constitution.

I always used to wonder why the birth dates of any leader should be declared as a holiday. More so in line with the people of my generation I was little knowing about Mahatma Gandhi or Shastri or Ambedkar. Curiosity to learn about Mahatma Gandhi was generated after hearing the word Gandhigiri from a popular Hindi film.

In the fist instant I thought this is a code word being used by the gangsters. On watching the film, I found that actually the word has been used for a lifestyle preached by Mahatma Gandhi.

This year 2nd October is being celebrated at United Nation as INTERNATIONAL WORLD NON-VILANCE DAY. Mrs. Sonia Gandhi the national president of present day congress shall address united Nation on this day. All this made me more curious to find out more about Mahatma Gandhi depicted as an old man in the film.

Actual name of Mahatma Gandhi is Mohandas Karm Chand Gandhi. He was born in 1869 into the family of the Dewan of Porbander. His early education was mostly in English. His father has died when he was still in his teens. Due to this, he was handed over the charge of his father i.e. Prime-Minister of Porbander state. However, due to British takeover of the state, he had no other alternative but to pursue higher education.

For this, on advice from a family friend he moved to study law at London. He has taken a vow not to touch meat, wine and woman. This was followed by him in letter and spirit throughout the life which had a greater influence in shaping his character. He became a barrister after completing his education and being admitted in bar at London.

However due to the death of his mother, he came back to and started practice in which he failed. He soon left for South Africa which was a turning point in his life. Here on account of various circumstances in conjunction with his experiences in childhood and influence of his mother gave birth to the lifestyle what was termed as Gandhi an Politics. Due to the discrimination on the basis of color and race resulting in horrible condition to indigenous people and Indians, he joined active politics.

Initially, he was only writing letters articles in the news paper, organizing lectures and debates etc. His activities were appreciated by all the parties in India as well as South Africa. He got warm reception during his tour to India. Later in South Africa he started non violent protests against various discriminating laws. The movement had wonderful impact as it was a total new method of opposition the weapon against which was not known to the oppressing class.

The unique way of protesting by fast unto death not picking weapon speaking the truth, cooperation and non cooperation as per the need of time made the British and other rulers to think in a different direction. He used the same weapon in fighting independence in the country after return to India. This weapon of truth and non-cooperation was also used to spread the message of social upliftment and brotherhood. The weapon was as well used for communal harmony in the country. This had wonderful impact on British who left the country for local rule. People of our generation can not imagine the period of slavery. The society can fully transform in case the message of Gandhi is spread even if as Gandhigiri.

As the amusement about celebrating the birth anniversary is also clarified, I pay my homage to Mahatma Gandhi on his 138th Birth anniversary with the above words.

Lakshya - The Film

The film is directed by Farhan Akhtar. Farhan Akthar is one of the youngest directors.

He has the skill to merge the real life situation into a film and keeping it entertaining. The main cast of the film consists of Hrithik Roshan, Priety Zinta, Boman Irani, Amitabh Bacchan,Om Puri,Sharad S Kapoor,Sushant Singh,Prashant Chainani,Nawab Shah and Amish Puri. The story,screenplay,dialogue and lyrics are by Javed Akhter. Music in the film is by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. It may be considered as a Hindi war movie.

Though the movie is actually about a boy belonging to an affluent family having no aim in life but gets matured once felt by not being heeded by near and dear. The film Lakshya depicts Hritiik Roshan as an easy going chap. He has got an attitude which is not serious about anything. He has not made any aim in life. He wants to achieve goals without putting sincere efforts and planning.

His father is a rich businessman with a tough attitude. Brother of Hrithik is well settled in America. Hritik is confused though not satisfied but is drifting along.

Priety Zinta is his childhood friend. They are now looking towards the marriage. To achieve this they feel that Hritik should have a carrier of his own. However, in absence of a direction, it seems rather difficult that Hrithik Roshan shall be in a position to have stable life by choosing an independent carrier.

All in the peer group have started settling resulting in a feeling of being left behind in Heretic. Under the circumstances, on getting the opportunity to join Armed Forces, Hritik decides to join the Army. He takes entry into the Army against the wishes of his parents and critical analysis by his companion Priety Zinta Thus, he has landed himself in a carrier because of feeling of being left behind instead of going for chosen carrier.

Since Hritik Roshan did not know much about the life of Armed Forces, the strict physical and mental training at the Military Academy made him to run away from their campus. He thought that he would be welcomed at Home. However, both his Father and friend Priety Zinta started scolding him. This led to conflict between Hrithik and Priety as well as within Hritik.

After lot of thinking, Hrithik go backs to the Academy with a determination to become a successful soldier. With time, Hrithik comes out from the Academy with full colors.

Priety Zinta by this time has become a Television journalist. This is the time when a war has broken between India and Pakistan at very high location.

Hrithik depicts unusual courage in fighting for the Country in this War and puts the National Flag at the highest location. Priety was there for the live coverage of the war for her television. Once again Hrithik and Priety Zinta become friends and decide to live the remaining life together.

The depiction of maturing of Hrithik from a focus less young man to a focused young man is heartening. The scenes from the battlefield really show the realities of war. Performances by all the characters are outstanding. There is lot of impact of the dialogues in the movie.

The writer of the story as well as the Director of the story deserves lot of credit for doing such a good movie. The movie seems to be technically very sound.

I strongly recommend everybody, particularly young generation like me to watch the movie at least once. It may be concluded that besides entertaining, the movie is successful in giving message to young man that for achieving the goal it is of utmost importance to find a direction and sense of purpose to life.

Setu Samudram Project

Setusamudram Shipping Canal Project is a project of creating alternative shorter route to cross the Gulf of Mannar. The concept of the project is more than 150 years old.

The idea of the channel was originally put forward in 1860 by a British commander named A D Taylor was. In 1955, the Sethusamudram project committee set up by the Government of India to look into the feasibility of the project. The committee identified five routes for the project which were discussed at various levels till 2001.

The study of the feasible routes was started in right earnest in 2001 when the Government of India has earmarked funds for its study. Effort has been made to describe the purpose of the project in following sentences

1. To reduce travel time for the ships going to ports in south and east of the country after coming from the west of the country.

2. This will be possible by reducing the travel distance o n completion of the project.

3. To improve navigation within the territorial waters of the country. the total cost of the project is Rs 2,427 crores (Rs 24.27 billion).

4. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh with United Progressive Alliance Chairperson Sonia Gandhi inaugurated the project on July 2, 2005.

Commencement of the work has given birth to many controversies as the present route involves destruction of a bridge believed to have been built by Lord Rama and Muslims and Christians believe it to be Adam's creation. It is believed by Hindus that this bridge was built by the friends of Lord Rama using floating stones and Rama's army marched over it to Lanka to rescue Sita and destroy the evil regime of Ravana.

It is further confirmed by the photographs taken by NASA that ADAM' bridge is visible from the space and seems to be confirming a belief that this was built by some supernatural phenomenon. The reference to the bridge is also found in the Encyclopedia Britannica. As per this 'Adam's Bridge also called Rama's Bridge, is chain of shoals, between the islands of Mannar, near northwestern Sri Lanka, and Rameswaram, off the southeastern coast of India.

The Adam's Bridge is thus revered not only by Hindus but also by Muslims and Christians in a different manner. It is however believed by some people that it was nothing but a natural formation with a series of parallel ledges of sand stone and conglomeration.

Whatever the opinions, it is felt that the dredging of the Bridge to make the channel shall destroy a great world heritage site. In addition to above issues, issues pertaining to security have also been made due to destruction of the Bridge. The sea between India and Sri Lanka has been recognised as historic waters and not as International waters. Of late united States have refused to accept the sea between India and Sri Lanka as 'historic'. If the new channel is created through the present Rama's bridge, international ships would pass through. This will make it make a de facto international boundary between India and Sri Lanka, giving strength to the views of America.

Besides, passing of ships of all the countries shall require increased defence expenditure. The local population of the area irrespective of cast creed and race are opposed to the idea fearing the loss of livelihood. As per them the present route shall destroy marine life and corals. This shall badly affect the trade in shells having a turn over in cores and giving job to thousands of local people.

It is understood that huge quantity of thorium deposits is available in the area which shall be removed in case of dredging of the bridge. Thorium is essential for nuclear power requirement on which lot of emphasis is being put of late.

It is felt that with the destruction of Adam's Bridge; ecology of the region shall be severely affected resulting. This may lead to many more Tsunami in the region. All this does not mean that the project should be shelved even if it is economically viable.

The economic viability of the project and the issues involved should be objectively deliberated. After reviewing all the aspects the project should be completed with alternate alignment which should not hurt interest and sentiments of anybody.

The best solution seems to change the alignment instead of stopping the work on the project.

Reforms in Education System

India is having a large pool of young educated people. Many of them remain unemployed. The unemployed people include professional educated graduates such as Engineers. The main reason for such a situation is mismatch between the skills set needs of Industry in the Country and the output of education system.

There seems to be lack of assessment of the needs of industry both in terms of requirement as well as skills. Due to this many educated Indians have moved out of country in search of jobs. Such people after very humble beginning have become persons of reckoning in no time. Some of the educated persons of India have proved themselves to be knowledge bomb. This is corroborated by the fact that that several Indians who have moved out of the country have excelled in their fields. It seems that they have developed this capability not because of education system but because of their own trade. They have indicated the potential of human assets available in the country to the world.

In spite of this fact, India is hardly considered as knowledge superpower when compared with the developed Western countries. To retain the talent in the Country and to become as knowledge superpower, it is necessary that the education system should be reformed in such a manner so that output of education system fits in the industry within the country itself. This is a pre-requisite for any Country to become knowledge power that their young people are gainfully employed.

This is possible only if skill based education is imparted. Further, in order to become knowledge super power, it is required that education system in the country should be able to support and sustain the growth in the country.

In the present education system, there is a desire for all the individuals to pursue job-oriented professional courses. However, it is felt that in order to become knowledge super power, it is necessary that the focus should be on development of in-house technology with a vision to have zero-dependence on borrowed technology. To achieve this, it is required that most of the educated people should be employable who should be contributing to the development of the society, country as well as humanity. The education should be made goal oriented with emphasis on developing the definite skills after identifying the individual trade. For this education system should be reformed in such a way that, in collaboration with the industry, it should support Research & Development.

For this purpose, modern regulatory methods should be employed instead of controlling the education through various institutions like UGC, ACITE etc. The knowledge base developed in this manner shall be more effective in sustainable development of the society, country as well as humanity, at large in the long run.

However, while making such reforms in the education system, the short term needs of the industry should not be ignored. Hence it is necessary that such reforms should not only be specific and time bound but also be gradual and fruitful.

Industry should play a very vital role by sharing the experience with the educational institutes. For modernizing the education system, heavy investment of funds shall be required. It may not be possible for the Government to spare that much of funds. So the education should be privatized. However, before privatizing the education, sufficient regularly mechanism should be developed so that education institutes does not become a source of profit making activity.

The participation and collaboration with Foreign Universities may lead to dramatic improvement in the educational system of the Country.

Curriculum of the higher education should also include of needs of rural India. Special courses on agriculture and other related activities need to be included in various courses. This will increase Penetration level of education the best results.

In a nut shell to make India a knowledge super power, reforms in the education system involvement of the industry collaboration with foreign institutes and emphasis on ancient culture of the Country and agriculture is the need of hour for the country to remain prosperous and become Knowledge Superpower..

 

IMPACT OF SURROUNDINGS ON PERSONALITY

I was born on 3rd September, 1985 in a middle class family. I lived in the
capital of the country i.e. Delhi in a posh colony known as VASANT VIHAR.
I have done my schooling since nursery in a very reputed school known as
Delhi Public School, Vasantkunj, and New Delhi. As such our batch was the
made in batch for this school. Before this I have joined a play
school known as SHISHU VAN being run by a German lady.
All the things required by a middle class family were available
with us. My vivid memory to the earliest possible incident is regarding my
request for purchasing a video game. My parents may be due to the economic
constraints did not purchase the same for me.While all the children of my
age were enjoying number of video games and such gazettes at that time, I
feel that I was deprived of the opportunity which had an impact on me for
quite a long period. When I recollect and reconcile it with the
circumstances, I found that the fellow students in my class belong to some
of the richest families of Delhi.
I feel that the items, games, gazettes, available with them which I at
that time had a feeling to possess were not possible to be arranged by my
parents.
However, Company of such people has both positive and negative
impact on my life. I could not make many friends in my childhood among the
class mates as the standard of living was different. However, due to non
availability of sufficient funds I could save myself from falling in the
bad company in line with the proverb It is to better to be alone than
fall in a bad company.
I am proud to be a non smoker, teetotaler without addiction to any
drug inspire of staying all alone for last five years for pursuing higher
studies. I am a loner and like to keep my self aloof. The psychological
reason for this seems to be the atmosphere in which I was brought up. I
had no brother or sister till the age of nine years. Thus at home, I was
monarch of all I survey. There was nobody to share the love and affection
with me.
However, when I was nine years old, I was fortunate enough to have
a sister. The attention of my parents was diverted to her and I started
feeling a bit neglected. At that time, I was studying in Class IV. Prior
to her birth, my Mother used to teach me and help in home work. However,
it was not possible for her to take care of my studies after the birth of
my Sister. My Father being busy with his official work, I felt lot of
difficulties in coping with the requirement. Even today I remember that in
my childhood all the neighbors used to tell that the best companion of
Prashant is his Mother. I started feeling hurt as Mother was not paying
that much attention as she used to pay earlier.
By this time, we have moved to a bigger house where the neighbours
were affluent. We also could afford to have some of the items of envy.
However, by this time, Cable TV has become a craze. We could not afford
Cable TV and have to satisfy our self with the National TV channel. My
favorite programme used to be MOUGLEY. It has given a lot of strength to
me in shaping my future career.
When I review my past, I feel that the gap in the age of me and my
sister did not have a very positive impact on my future. Similarly, the
different economic level in the fellow students had adverse impact due to
superiority and inferiority complex feelings. However, this gives an
exposure to various facets of life. One can choose any path which
otherwise remains uncovered for lower strata of society. I am grateful to
almighty that in spite of such adverse circumstances, I am pursuing my
career in a reasonably reputed Institute and have been successful in
obtaining my graduation degree at a reasonably good score.

The most unpredictable disaster : Earth Quake

The most unpredictable disaster : Earth Quake

An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are measured with a seismometer. The magnitude of an earthquake is reported using the Richter scale with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being hard to notice and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas.

At the Earth's surface, earthquakes may manifest themselves by a shaking of the ground. Sometimes, they cause tsunamis, which may lead to loss of life and destruction of property. An earthquake is caused by tectonic plates getting stuck and putting a strain on the ground. The strain becomes so great that rocks give way by breaking and sliding along fault planes.

Earthquakes may occur naturally or as a result of human activities. Smaller earthquakes can also be caused by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments. In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates seismic waves.

I in my life have witnessed 3 Earth Quakes. The most fear full of all was the one which I witnessed in 10^th standard. This was the Earth Quake occurred on 26^th January'01. It had its epicenter in Gujrat Bhuj.

It was Over 8.5 on the Richter scale.

At that time I was in Delhi. It was a holiday for 26^th Jan so I had just got up from my sleep. The first thing I could feel as I kept my foot on ground was that earth was shaking under me. Before I could realize that what had happened I could hear people shouting from some where that Earth Quake has struck. Our flat was on the fifth floor. I could see the fan shaking above my head as it would fall of the sealing. It felt as if I was having some tremors. But it was god's grace that we were not in Gujrat. It stopped after a minute. By this time many people staying on the ground floor had already arrived on streets.

Before that also I had witnessed Earth Quake once at night 1AM.

People say that animals have sixth senses by which they can predict what is going to happen in some time in near future. This is a real thing I have experienced. Before the Earth Quake I could hear crows shouting at night, Dogs making noise different types of noise.

If earth quakes can be predicted by anyways then many precious lifes can be saved..

D Language...

D is an object-oriented, imperative, multiparadigm system programming language by Walter Bright of Digital Mars. It originated as a re-engineering of C++, but even though it is predominantly influenced by that language, it is not a variant of C++. D has redesigned some C++ features and has been influenced by concepts used in other programming languages, such as Java, C# and Eiffel. A stable version, 1.0, was released on January 2, 2007. An experimental version, 2.0, was released on June 17, 2007.

D is being designed with lessons learned from practical C++ usage rather than from a theoretical perspective. Even though it uses many C/C++ concepts it also discards some, and as such is not strictly backward compatible with C/C++ source code. It adds to the functionality of C++ by also implementing design by contract, unit testing, true modules, automatic memory management (garbage collection), first class arrays, associative arrays, dynamic arrays, array slicing, nested functions, inner classes, limited form of closures, anonymous functions, compile time function execution, lazy evaluation and has a reengineered template syntax. D retains C++'s ability to do low-level coding, and adds to it with support for an integrated inline assembler. C++ multiple inheritance is replaced by Java style single inheritance with interfaces and mixins. D's declaration, statement and expression syntax closely matches that of C++.

The inline assembler typifies the differences between D and application languages like Java and C#. An inline assembler lets programmers enter machine-specific assembly code in with standard D code—a technique often used by system programmers to access the low-level features of the processor needed to run programs that interface directly with the underlying hardware, such as operating systems and device drivers.

D has built-in support for documentation comments, but so far only the compiler supplied by Digital Mars implements a documentation generator.

Programming paradigms

D supports three main programming paradigms—imperative, object-oriented, and metaprogramming.

Imperative

Imperative programming is almost identical to C. Functions, data, statements, declarations and expressions work just as C, and the C runtime library can be accessed directly.

Object oriented

OO programming in D is based on a single inheritance hierarchy, with all classes derived from class Object. Multiple inheritance is possible from interfaces (interfaces are a lot like C++ abstract classes).

Metaprogramming

Metaprogramming is supported by a combination of templates, compile time function execution, tuples, and string mixins.

Memory management

Memory is usually managed with garbage collection, but specific objects can be finalized immediately when they go out of scope. Explicit memory management is possible using the overloaded operators new and delete, and by simply calling C's malloc and free directly. Garbage collection can be disabled for individual objects, or even for a full program, if more control over memory management is desired. The manual gives many examples of how to implement different highly optimized memory management schemes for when garbage collection is inadequate in a program.

The langauge is still under a devlopment phase.

JAVA

Java refers to a number of computer software products and specifications from Sun Microsystems that together provide a system for developing and deploying cross-platform applications. Java is used in a wide variety of computing platforms spanning from embedded devices and cell phones on the low end to enterprise servers and super computers on the high end. Java is fairly ubiquitous in cell phones, Web servers and enterprise applications, and somewhat less common in desktop applications, though users may have come across Java applets when browsing the Web.

Sun Microsystems referred to Java as the "Java technology" but has used the word "Java" as an adjective about "technology." In practice, many programmers have used the word "Java" to mean the programming language, while the execution platform was called the "JRE" (Java Runtime Environment) and the compiler-system was called the "JDK" (Java Development Kit), rather than a "Java compiler" as such. The word "Java" has often been used as an adjective, but the formal term "Java technology" should be noted.

Writing in the Java programming language is the primary way to produce code that will be deployed as Java byte code, though there are compilers available for other languages such as Java Script, Python and Ruby, and a native Java scripting language called Groovy. Java syntax borrows heavily from C and C++ but it eliminates certain low-level constructs such as pointers and has a very simple memory model where every object is allocated on the heap and all variables of object types are references.

Java has non-object primitive types but every other data type is an object. The Java class libraries provide wrapper objects for the primitive types, and since Java SE 5.0 the Java compiler automatically inserts conversions between a wrapper type and its corresponding primitive. Memory management is handled through integrated automatic garbage collection performed by the JVM.

The current version, Mustang Java SE 6.0, is bundled with a database manager, facilitates the use of scripting languages (currently Java Script using Mozilla's Rhino engine) with the JVM, has Visual Basic language support, and has native UI enhancements to support the look and feel of Windows Vista.

Sun Microsystems has made the bulk of its implementation of Java available under the GNU General Public License, although there are still a few parts distributed as precompiled binaries due to intellectual property restrictions.

Java has been put to various uses:

Desktop use

On the desktop, stand-alone Java applications remain relatively rare for several reasons.
1. Java applications often use more memory than native applications because of the overhead for the Java runtime.

2. Graphical user interfaces for Java applications tend not to follow the platform-specific Human interface guidelines the user is accustomed to.
3. Tools used to develop graphical Java applications are fragmented.
4 . Installation of the Java Runtime Environment adds an extra step to deploying Java-based applications, since Microsoft Windows no longer bundles a Java runtime environment. In addition, there are multiple versions of the JRE, which can introduce compatibility issues for

Java applications installed on a system

Mobile Applications & Other Net Applications are there.

Cryptography

Cryptography derived from Greek kryptos "hidden" and graphy "write" is the study of message secrecy. In modern times, cryptography is considered to be a branch of both mathematics and computer science, and is affiliated closely with information security, computer security, and engineering. Cryptography is used in applications like the security of ATM cards, computer passwords, and electronic commerce etc.

Earlier,cryptography was concerned solely with message confidentiality i.e., encryption — conversion of messages from a comprehensible form into an incomprehensible one, and back again at the other end, rendering it unreadable by interceptors or eavesdroppers without secret knowledge , the key needed for decryption of that message. In recent decades, the field has expanded beyond confidentiality concerns to include techniques for message integrity checking, sender/receiver identity authentication, digital signatures, interactive proofs, and secure computation.

The modern cryptography can be divided into several areas of study. The main ones are listed here:

Symmetric Cryptography

With secret key cryptography, a single key is used for both encryption and decryption sender uses the key or some set of rules to encrypt the plain text and sends the cipher text to the receiver. The receiver applies the same key or rule set to decrypt the message and recover the plain text. Because a single key is used for both functions, secret key cryptography is also called symmetric encryption.

With this form of cryptography, it is obvious that the key must be known to both the sender and the receiver this,is the secret. The biggest difficulty with this approach, of course, is the distribution of the key.

Secret key cryptography schemes are generally categorized as being either stream ciphers or block ciphers. Stream ciphers operate on a single bit byte or computer word at a time and implement some form of feedback mechanism so that the key is constantly changing. A block cipher is so-called because the scheme encrypts one block of data at a time using the same key on each block. In general, the same plain text block will always encrypt to the same cipher text when using the same key in a block cipher whereas the same plain text will encrypt to different cipher text in a stream cipher.

Public-Key Cryptography

Public-key cryptography has been said to be the most significant new development in cryptography in the last 300-400 years. Modern PKC was first described publicly by Stanford University professor Martin Hellman and graduate student Whitfield Diffie in 1976. Their paper described a two-key crypto system in which two parties could engage in a secure communication over a non-secure communications channel without having to share a secret key.

PKC depends upon the existence of so-called one-way functions, or mathematical functions that are easy to computer whereas their inverse function is relatively difficult to compute. Let me give you two simple examples:

Multiplication vs. factorization: Suppose I tell you that I have two numbers, 9 and 16, and that I want to calculate the product; it should take almost no time to calculate the product, 144. Suppose instead that I tell you that I have a number, 144, and I need you tell me which pair of integers I multiplied together to obtain that number. You will eventually come up with the solution but whereas calculating the product took milliseconds, factoring will take longer because you first need to find the 8 pair of integer factors and then determine which one is the correct pair.

Exponentiation vs. logarithms: Suppose I tell you that I want to take the number 3 to the 6th power; again, it is easy to calculate 36=729. But if I tell you that I have the number 729 and want you to tell me the two integers that I used, x and y so that logx 729 = y, it will take you longer to find all possible solutions and select the pair that I used.

Thus multiple implementations are present such as RSA, DSA etc..

Hash Functions

Hash functions, also called message digests and one-way encryption, are algorithms that, in some sense, use no key.Instead, a fixed-length hash value is computed based upon the plaintext that makes it impossible for either the contents or length of the plaintext to be recovered. Hash algorithms are typically used to provide a digital fingerprint of a file's contents, often used to ensure that the file has not been altered by an intruder or virus. Hash functions are also commonly employed by many operating systems to encrypt passwords. Hash functions, then, provide a measure of the integrity of a file.

Hash algorithms that are in common use today include:

Message Digest (MD) algorithms: A series of byte-oriented algorithms that produce a 128-bit hash value from an arbitrary-length message.

MD2 (RFC 1319): Designed for systems with limited memory, such as smart cards.

MD4 (RFC 1320): Developed by Rivest, similar to MD2 but designed specifically for fast processing in software.

MD5 (RFC 1321): Also developed by Rivest after potential weaknesses were reported in MD4; this scheme is similar to MD4 but is slower because more manipulation is made to the original data. MD5 has been implemented in a large number of products although several weaknesses in the algorithm were demonstrated by German cryptographer Hans Dobbertin in 1996.

Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA): Algorithm for NIST's Secure Hash Standard (SHS). SHA-1 produces a 160-bit hash value and was originally published as FIPS 180-1 and RFC 3174. FIPS 180-2 describes five algorithms in the SHS: SHA-1 plus SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 which can produce hash values that are 224, 256, 384, or 512 bits in length, respectively. SHA-224, -256, -384, and -52 are also described in RFC 4634.

Voice Over IP

The technology is changing fast. Now the new technology is saying Talk Talk.....VOIP.

VOIP: Voice over IP.

Get ready for a change in the way you think about long distance phone calls. Voice over Internet Protocol, is a method for taking analog audio signals, like the kind you hear when you talk on the phone, and turning them into digital data that can be transmitted over the Internet.
VOIP can turn a standard Internet connection into a place for free phone calls. The practical upshot of this is that by using some of the free VOIP software that is available to make Internet phone calls, you are bypassing the phone company and its charges entirely.

VOIP is a new technology that has the potential to completely rework the world's phone systems. VOIP providers like Vonage have already been around for a little while and are growing steadily. Major carriers like AT&T are already setting up VOIP calling plans in several markets around the world, and the FCC is looking seriously at the potential of VOIP service.

Above all, VOIP is basically a reinvention of communication. We can find about the principles behind VOIP, its applications and the potential of this emerging technology, which will more than likely one day replace the traditional phone system entirely.

The interesting thing about VOIP is that there is not just one way to place a call. There are three different versions of VOIP service in common use today:

Some of these versions are:

ATA - The simplest and most common way is through the use of a device called an ATA analog telephone adaptor. The ATA allows you to connect a standard phone to your computer or your Internet connection for use with VOIP. The ATA is an analog-to-digital converter. It takes the analog signal from your traditional phone and converts it into digital data for transmission over the Internet. Providers like Vonage and AT&T CallVantage are providing ATAs free with their service. You simply crack the ATA out of the box, plug the cable from your phone that would normally go in the wall socket into the ATA, and you're ready to make VOIP calls. Some ATAs may ship with additional software that is loaded onto the host computer to configure it; but in any case, it is a very straightforward setup.


IP Phones - These specialized phones look just like normal phones with a handset, cradle and buttons. But instead of having the standard RJ-11 phone connectors, IP phones have an RJ-45 Ethernet connector. IP phones connect directly to your router and have all the hardware and software necessary right on the set to handle the IP call. Wi-Fi phones allow subscribing callers to make VOIP calls from any Wi-Fi hot spot.


Computer-to-computer - This is certainly the easiest way to use VOIP. You don't even have to pay for long-distance calls. There are several companies offering free or very low-cost software that you can use for this type of VOIP. All you need is the software, a microphone, speakers, a sound card and an Internet connection, preferably a fast one like you would get through a cable or DSL modem. Except for your normal monthly ISP fee, there is usually no charge for computer-to-computer calls, no matter the distance.

If you're interested in trying VOIP, then you should check out some of the free VOIP software available on the Internet. You should be able to download and set it up in about three to five minutes. Get a friend to download the software, too, and you can start tinkering with VOIP to get a feel for how it works. If you are using a Linux version like Fedora then you have the software already installed.

Virtualization

In computing, virtualization is a big term that refers to the maximum use of computer resources.

One useful definition is a technique on which other systems, applications, or end users interact with those resources. This includes making a single physical resource such as a server, an operating system, an application, or storage device appear to function as multiple resources; or it can include making multiple physical resources such as storage devices or servers appear as a single resource.

Platform virtualization involves the simulation of computer environments.
Resource virtualization involves the simulation of combined, fragmented, or simplified resources.

Platform virtualization is performed on a given hardware platform by software which creates a simulated computer environment (a virtual machine) for its guest software. The guest software, which is often itself a complete operating system, runs just as if it were installed on a stand-alone hardware platform. Typically, many such virtual machines are simulated on a given physical machine. For the guest system to function, the simulation must be robust enough to support all the guest system's external interfaces, which may include hardware drivers.

There are several approaches to platform virtualization, listed below based on how complete a hardware simulation is implemented.

Emulation or simulation:

the virtual machine simulates the complete hardware, allowing an unmodified guest OS for a completely different CPU to be run. This approach has long been used to enable the creation of software for new processors before they were physically available. Examples include Bochs, PearPC, Power PC version of Virtual PC, QEMU without acceleration, and the Hercules emulator. Emulation is implemented using a variety of techniques, from state machines to the use of dynamic recompilation on a full virtualization platform.

Native virtualization and full virtualization:

the virtual machine simulates enough hardware to allow an unmodified guest OS to be run in isolation. Typically, many instances can be run at once. Examples include VirtualBox, Virtual Iron, Virtual PC, VMware Workstation, VMware Server (formerly GSX Server),VMware ESX Server, QEMU, Adeos, Mac-on-Linux, Win4BSD, Win4Lin Pro, and z/VM.

Virtual Drives

A virtual drive is a term used with respect to computers when a drive is emulated in some fashion. The drive being emulated could be a hard drive, floppy drive, CD/DVD or a network share among others.

A virtual hard drive can be created from RAM for fast read/write access.As well, there is software that makes one's Gmail account act as a virtual external drive.
Virtual DVDs are often mounted disk images via disk image emulator software. This allows one to read a CD or DVD from the disk image on a hard drive, rather than from a disc drive. This allows users to run software requiring the CD or DVD without having to swap discs, or even possess it.

Virtual burner

A virtual CD burner is a device driver that emulates a CD/DVD Burner. It appears as another drive in the system with writing capabilities. When information is written to the drive, it creates an ISO Image representation of the CD that would, under normal circumstances, be physically created.

This allows you to use any CD burning software to create what can be later mounted as a virtual drive.

Some Examples of Virtual CD/DVD Softwares are Virtual CD, Nero Image Drive , Alcohol, Daemon etc....

These software are very use full if you want to play games without the headache of maintaining the original CD/DVD. They can also be used for installing rapidly over network and usage as you don't have to manually go at each place and insert the CD'S to achieve your Target.

ThereFore Virtualization is very nessary and usefull in our daily life.....

Ethical Hacking. . .

HACKER :

1. A person who enjoys learning the details of computer systems and how to stretch their capabilities—as opposed to most users of computers, who prefer to learn only the minimum amount necessary.

2. One who programs enthusiastically or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming.

Hacking is something which is always considered as wrong and something that is very bad.
The reality is something different. Hacking maybe done for good or bad or just time pass purposes.

There are many companies today that hire professional hackers. These companies require these hackers for various purposes which may vary from saving their own networks from other hackers and hacking others networks for business purposes.

As computers became increasingly available to general public user communities began to extend beyond researchers in engineering to other individuals who viewed the computer as a curiously flexible tool. Whether they programmed the computers to play games or to help them with the more aspects of their daily work, once computers were available for use, there was never a lack of people wanting to use them.

With the growth of computer security became one of the most important concern of the governments and business. The people wanted to take advantage of the available recourses for increasing their business and profitability but there was always a risk of being hacked. Also people were worried about their personal information like user names password credit card no and passwords etc.

For preventing the hackers from accessing personal information there was need of people who have the knowledge of hacking and will be able to test the client systems against these flaws. The ethical hacker is thus a person who needs to be very trust worthy. During this testing period the hacker holds the most imporatnt position in the company as he has the access to aall the key information in the company. If he is not a trust worthy person he may sell all the valuable information to some other party. This is also a reason that the ethical hackers are most highly paid professional in the industry.

Ethical hackers typically have very strong programming and computer networking skills and have been in the computer and networking business for several years. They are also adept at installing and maintaining systems that use the more popular operating systems used on target systems. These base skills are augmented with detailed knowledge of the hardware and software provided by the more popular computer and networking hardware vendors. It should be noted that an additional specialization in security is not always necessary, as strong skills in the other areas imply a very good understanding of how the security on various systems is maintained. These systems management skills are necessary for the actual vulnerability testing, but are equally important when preparing the report for the client after the test.
They also have a lot of patience and working skill by which they are able to find the loop hole in the system.

Thus ethical hackers are very important for the security of the company.
The other kinds of hackers may be one who want to destroy the other competitors networks. They mostly do so by flooding the client networks servers with garbage requests so that their servers get busy in handling garbage and important request or business loss take place and many clients are not able to access the information they required.

There are many other anti social elements who may be busy in hacking various frequently visited sites an d replace them by pornographic or such type of data. The may even replace the logos of organization and misuse them for promoting various suspicious brands.

Thus hacking has may advantages and disadvantages.

CDAC E-City , SomeThing Different

C-DAC Bangalore
I came to CDAC on 6th Aug 2007. The fist day we were introduced to the one of the best course possible in software technology. After the introduction session it could be said that we have been jailed for a period of 1 year. The lectures started on first day itself.
This place has an excellent campus and infrastructure. Specially the 24X7 labs which will take away all the nights sleep. The Air Cooled classes will provide you all the missed speed. The Excellent faculty is always present at your rescue.
Food is one of the best things you will be tempted too after the days work load. The cafeteria is one of the worst as it is time bound... so no food at night or if you even get late by a 50 secs.
The campus is lush green soothing eyes after sitting in front of the computer. It is one of the best campus I have been to in my life.
In past weeks we came to know about the pace of life and course. What content of course took weeks to be was completed in a one or more sessions. This is one course which surly requires a lot of determination.
I have my interests in software and networking field. I further want to work in R&D area. This was the main reason of joining this institution.
I computer graduate and have done Bachelor of computer application. I have my core interests in open source development. I also like playing computer games and visiting various places.

The environment here is such that you will never be able to feel that how much time has passed.
We can realy enjoy and learn in this enviroment.


I have done my graduation from Pune. It is a nice place to live and enjoy. There are many locations near by which you can visit at weekend and enjoy. The most common and known locations are Lonavala and Khandala. There are many other locations also but they are not known to many. The region is best in the time of monsoons. The memories can surly be long lasting specilay if you are visiting with a group of friends.
