Elephant Ride

Elephant one of the largest mammals is like one of the gentle creature around in this planet. A ride on the elephant is a very enjoyable and I am sure that most of us might have gone for a ride on the elephant. Well my elephant ride is with a blue elephant now. Blue Elephant whats that ??? Well Louis Gerstner Jr called IBM an elephant ,so now most of you would have figured out that the elephant ride is about my 15 day experience with the Big Blue.

Rewinding….

Nearly one month back I was still bustling around to get my papers right for TCS. When a call came like a bolt out of the blue sky (Well I guess my association with BLUE has jus started).It was from IBM asking me to come for a written test. I immediately packed my bags with books and started for the garden city .I cleared the written test and interview and the moment came when the interviewers came into a room and said congrats u are into IBM. I was flying in the air.

Back to ground zero now fast forwarding to present….

Its now 15 days completed in IBM. It has been a great experience so far. I am given a laptop and working in a department which develops one of the leading UNIX based operating systems in the market. Well the freedom the work culture here is amazing. One would never want to leave this place. Well like all companies the life for a fresher begins with a induction program which deals with all inside knowledge u need to know about IBM. IBM’s legacy and how a baby elephant became the BIG BLUE JUMBO.I would say this one of that kind of place where you will join the league of INNOVATORS.Well my transition has been smooth so far and lets see what is coming around. WORK IS WORSHIP AND MANAGER IS GOD :-)

Butterfly Effect

Hello folks I'm back after a long hiatus in writing my blog.Well I was fortunate to watch Ulganayagan's latest creation Dasavatharam. I was dumbstruck seeing the technical quality ,the screen play,kamal's getups ,the story and the list goes on.Wait wait this is not a review of the great movie but this is something related to the movie(spoiler:I have revealed the plot).After coming back from the movie I still did not understand what a butterfly was doing in the opening scenes of the movie.Well thats the central theme 'butterfly effect'.To tell in a single line the small variation in initial conditions of a dynamic event has a great impact in its eventful result.Is it confusing ? Well the theory says that a flap of a butterfly might well change the initial conditions for occurrence of a tornado by stopping it or changing the direction or even changing its speed.Still more confusing? Here we go again let us consider a ball set on top of a hill it might run down in any direction that depends on the initial conditions.So now in the movie Dasavatharam which is about chaos theory the events like the immersion of the 12 century idol can be taken as an initial condition for the occurrence of tsunami(chaos) and thus the plot.So in the movie thus from Govind's perspective the idol was just part of the chaos theory but from Aandal's perspective its GOD's will at which the events have happened.So next time when the butterfly flaps remember some thing might well be on its way.

Tour Diary

After a long deliberation I have penned down a few pages from my Tour Diary.As I flip through my Tour Diary the latest is the trip to Sivagasi and Thalavaipuram.We had planned to goto Ramesh's sister's marriage and planned a single day trip to sivagasi via Thalavaipuram.The trip had a lots of firsts the crucial being the mass bunk (something rare in CSE dept).Well the trip began with its share of confusions.Me and Ambi were at different bus stations and the hostel group was still on its way.The third of the trio was still stranded at the bus stop waiting for the rarest bus species(S1) which tricked him and had to seek assistance from his father to get himself to the bus station.After a few inquiries we learnt that we were at the wrong bus station.Soon we got to Singanallur to pick the bus to Madurai. With a careful inspection of the buses standing there we decided to get into one of them because it had satisfied our basic requirement(it had TV!).Soon the bus began and so was our first leg of our journey.Unfortunately terror striked belying all our hopes, the TV did not work!.So we had to resort to other forms of entertainment.Within few minutes the co-passengers slept but the day for the HEXA had just began.We were bringing the roof down with our comic timing.The bus went along and as it neared semapatti our Guide was perpexled ,he was still expecting Dharapum. We quickly updated our Guide that he had fallen asleep.It was morning four when we reached Madurai.We had a cup of hot tea except our Guide who took a cup of milk.Guide again had a lapse of concentration, alarm bells rang, we now realised that we had the responsibility of guiding our Guide safely to his home.I feel every thing needs a break in life.The rest continues in the next post.BREAK........

Nano Technology

When I was figuring out the meaning of technology this is what I ended up 'an application of science' to be in short, to add to that I found this 'Economics is a branch of social science'.So then an application of Economics can also be called a technology right.So lets take this we produce some thing at a low cost and expect to sell the item in large numbers in a market that is often driven by competitive pricing.So now you might be wondering why I am telling all this as most of you might be knowing it.One such application is the NANO the new car from the stables of TATA MOTORS. My initial reaction to this car, when it was announced long back was that it might be more like a share auto,but I must confess that this one is not of that kind .I am sure it will give sleepless nights to other automobile companies especially the Maruti Udyog.I am extremely astonished by the fact that Ratan Tata has taken this challenge and has come out extremely successful.I Salute him and his team.Tatas have once again proved that the word TATA means TRAILBLAZERS.Having talked about the brain behind the project lets now shift the focus to the brain child.The design of NANO looks stylish,it claims a mileage of 20kmpl.The most important point is the price 1Lac that makes it a value for money car.The new kid on the block is sure to rock! This will surely be a car with both MASS n CLASS.The only problem with its launch is that will there be space on the road to drive it ? Lets see.

I'M BACK !

Its been long time since I last posted in my blog, then all of a sudden a bulb glew over my head and here I am trying to revamp this blog.All along in search of good ideas I could not write much(Being lazy does become an obsession and finds good reasons for not doing anything).While writing this I have got this one, look at it Being lazy or not to be is a transitive state it might change upon the intervention of external or internal force or both.Hmmm now I understood one more thing thathuvum sollaradhu evlo mokkae nu. Ok so folks in the coming weeks I don know what might happen rain or no rain ,election will be held in pak or not whether Ultimate Star will announce the name of his next project but one thing is sure the post on this blog will be rocking(How was the punch? wait the finishing touch) and one more thing I have got to tell I'M BACK!

What do I do next?

Many people in the world at some point might wonder what to do next in their life,I am not an exception to this, starting from writing assignments to deciding the career. Well when do u get this thought when you have too many things to do or nothing. I was confounded three years back as to which stream of engineering I might join and also the institution. But then as God has said in Gita what ever happens, happens for our betterment. Since joining engineering I am still not able to resolve what I am going to do and in the tide of time I am moving with it.I began blogging which gave me some sense of achievement but then the question again prompted what shall I write next. At the height of this I am also wondering as to what I am going to write this post.Thats when the bulb glowed which showed the path of PayPal.Well for those bloggers wondering what to write next, here is the solution.If we register ourselves with this website then we are given opportunity to write sponsored reviews for the products they give us thus earning money for ourselves.Thats all I heard of it so I am still trying to find more about it. But there might be a big traditional drawback in this, that is we might not get the question what do I do next. This is a drawback since questions such as this make us explore and find new things rather than sticking to what we have or know. But since the offer is a bit tempting let me try this may be something great may be in store for me.

Caught in a Mystic World-Maya

Maya has often been a word which pops up in Hindu mythology,which most often refers to the materialistic world.But this Maya,is in itself a kind of a different world.Well it is the animation software with which you can create anything and everything only your creativity and off course your computer specification are the limits.Talking of Maya, it is one of the wonderful software package I have ever used kudos to the creators of Maya.This software has a wide range of functionality which can make all of you who are using it a Walt Disney.Just imagine we can create our own animation movie in our house.You will be the director ,camera man ,script writer ,screenplay, dailouge writer etc(In short U can emulate TR).So now the question may arise why caught in Maya ,Well there lies the irony that so huge the software but unfortunately did not get the adequate time to really explore this one and master it.Ultimately did worthless assignment as a part of the curriculum and now story is over with the lab test.So why then write about it may be your next question, well I just wanted to share my thoughts abouts this amazing software.One important point, do make sure you have a compatible system which should ideally have 1GB RAM and a compatible processor.So I wish happy animating with Maya and till I meet you in my next post,from the world of Maya Its Lights Camera Action!!!!!!!!!!
