Happy Days with Chak De India

Its been a month since I jotted down in this blog. "Happy Days" and "Chak De India" dragged me to write this blog. They are movies, that I watched recently. One is in Telugu (mother tongue) and the other in Hindi (national language). Both of them need big applaud from audience and the whole crew deserves it.

"Happy Days", a sekhar kammula film. It is his fourth movie and all of them are heart touching and close to real life in some way. This film story is all about engineering students life. From the first year to till they graduate out from the college. Ragging, lecturers, friends, seniors what not everything is shown in three hour film. Hats off to Sekhar...... At some moment I felt that movie is realistic and I was a character in that movie...It touched my heart... and stays forever there....

Hie previous movies are Dollar Dream$, Anand, and Godavari. I have seen all of them except the first one. Which I hope I would see it some time.

Since I don't know much about Hindi film base, I would talk less about crew and more about movie. "Chak De India", is I would say sports, and patriotic movie. It gives a glimpse of the "Indian Women's Hockey Association" status in lucid way. The politics, sponsors, myths, no team spirit what not every element is shown in movie. On one hand, it was like watching Hockey match watching in theaters on other hand, it was like watching a movie with patriotism together with status of India National game.

One year to go for Silver Jubilee Celebrations..........(25 yrs)

It's been 756 864 000 seconds since my mother gave birth to me on this holy earth. I don't know exactly how many seconds I spent in sleeping, studying, njoying, and etc.......(don't ask me!!). I have been celebrating this b'day since my birth (obviously !!!).

My parents used to get new clothes on the occasion of every b'day in the early days. Early morning I used to have head bath, pray GOD (don't remember wht?) and get blessings from parents. I used to distribute the chocolates to my class mates in the school.(till 1997)

All this recurred till I get out of my schooling. In +2, I used to have all above mentioned things except distributing chocolates (Chocolates are not sufficient to College age!!!). (1998,1999)

Then comes my engineering phase..... 1st year.. celebrated in home. I don't exactly remember about 2nd and 3rd years and I am very much remembered the final year b'day. Because it is very special to me and celebrated in grand manner.....(2000,2001, 2002, 2003)

Getting into IITM gave me a new birth on this earth (thts how Indians feel and its true !!!). It added variety to my birthday celebrations. First bday was not actually celebrated with my IITM friends rather with my girlfriend (which I feel bad now!!). Second bday at IIT, new friends and new environment and missing old friends, but their wishes are always there with me (that made me to enter IITM and its my (their) dream to see myself (adi aka malli) in IITM). Third bday was as exciting as second bday with new set of friends added to the old friends.........(2004,2005,2006).

And now, 2007, in Bangalore. Though there are many friends in and around the city, I celebrated it only with my room mate. New environment, no new friends, not much of excitement, busy life .........

Am I getting older???.......NO.........I am getting younger day by day and on.....................

Evolution of Web Design

I am completely changed and I am growing exponentially guess who am I??........You spend lot of time with me everyday!!!!!!! Didn't get yet........I am your dearest web..........since my birth to Internet........people have been relying more on me these days than the olden days.......and so my evolution..........

Following is my evolution stages in simple understandable form...........

The Evolution of Modern Web Design

Year	Coding style
1999	The Nightmare: A jumble of content, scripting and formatting information
2002	The Advance: Formatting (CSS) is separated, but content (HTML) and scripting (e.g. JavaScript like 'onclick') are still tightly interwoven.
2005	The Future is Now: Behavior (JS), formatting (CSS) and content (HTML) are easily managed from entirely separate files.

One Week !!!!

This post truly reveals the IT professionals day-to-day life in a week. I wondered when people forwarded some mails about how IT professional life looks like in a week. They typically start with Monday and ends on Friday, weekend follows. As a IT professional, I would like to put the same thing in different way. I will start it with Wednesday, since it is in the mid of week (2days from weekend and 2days to weekend) its a neutral day, as we have cherished moments of weekend and eagerly waiting for the next weekend. Thursday, one day to go. Friday, weekend begins from the afternoon :). Monday morning hangout of weekend ;). Tuesday, sad day. Again it continues............................................... So Start with Wednesday............................

A true IT Professional :)

I wondered once, when people said you dont find time once you get into IT industry. At that time, I thought it was not true. Now you can see this blog how much I am busy after I joined into infosys. No time to blog, orkut, chat, browse........etc.

It is not because I didn't find time, it is because my company will not allow me to do them in the office hours ;)

Infosys Vs MorgaStanley

Bit tough to answer this question. It is also incomparable sometimes. These are all with respect to my context and my opinion.

• ------- Infosys ----------- Morgan Stanley

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Pay ------- Less-----------More
2. Relocation- No relocation---amount Rs.80,000
3. Location--- Bangalore-------Mumbai
4. Work------ Same at IITM--Finance domain/Technologies

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have chosen the last points as advantage to me and joined Infosys.

Its been a month that I joined SETLabs, Infosys, Bangalore as a Junior Research Associate. Rush starts at 6AM and ends at 7PM daily on week days. Weekends going either to native or to IITM. It took a month to get the formalities done at IITMadras and I am still waiting for the relieving letter. Things are quite settled now and I am planning to settle myself. Our mind always thinks ahead of us and looks for what it wants, even though they may not be satisfied practically..... The following question is unanswered till now.. "Joining Infosys leaving MorganStanely".

That was my stupidity to say eureka in the last post. Some things are worthless if they end normally or so easily. Lets come to point, who is responsible for what, I guess everyone....It should be otherwise....we cant keep blaming others..before that we should blame ourself.............confused.............Hmmm this is what I wanted you to be.................... :).

Eurekaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Do you know why people say Eureka? when they are in high spirits. I am done here..........I am happy .............

Things are not as they shoould be :)

At least few of them I have complete from the list I have given here. Rough draft of the thesis is out. Work is communicated to one conference and one journal. Now all set me to relieve from the institute, which is not easy though. One more meeting is still pending. Got some other offer (which I have not mentioned any where in the blog) apart from Morgan Stanley. I was fixed to choose one from the other, but again in dilemma which one to opt. Other thing, I have committed myself to some other work whose results are unpredicted for the next one month. Hoping to get done things in smooth fashion without any risks.
