Who is your Role-model?

Image
Let me ask you a question first- " Who's your role-mode l?" Everybody aspires to achieve something in life. As by nature, he looks at the paths traveled by the men who were so called 'successful persons'. When he comes across the various turns that they got on their way to success, he starts comparing those with that of him. - This is the first stage of taking someone as your 'Role-model' or 'Noble person'. I'll continue by saying that I don't have any role-models in my life. -What do you mean by a role-model? I have read the auto-biographies of many famous personalities. As I turn the pages of their life, I have found some similarities between my life and theirs. Of course, I want to see myself in the same dais, where they are standing now. Now the question arises: Are they really my role-models? Or, just mile-stones? If you take the spiritual aspects, the image of Swami Vivekananda

I installed Linux [A real tragedy...]

When I came to know that Linux Campus Club [LCC] in association with IEEE-SJCE is presenting a workshop on Linux operating system installation, I was very eager to attend that program. Openly speaking, I didn’t know anything about linux, what are all the features of linux and what are the advantages of it over ‘WINDOWS’. Because I was loving ‘WINDOWS’, which was the platform for me to play all those games like counterstrike, underground, age of empires and even to play 24 hours continuous music, -which I was interested in. Moreover, I didn’t have the experience of working even a single day with linux, -which I thought as a very useless operating system. But, the fact being, some of my ‘panta’ friends and hostelites were programming in linux, even burning the mid-night oil!! I was very jealous about them. So, I was planning that, after installing linux, I will write all those codes and will beat all the ’pantas’. I thanked LCC and IEEE.

ARMAGEDDON

I was standing near the parking lot. A girl came near me asking, “Are not you the youngest movie director of India? Mr.…?” Expecting appreciation, quickly I shook my head. “Can you make me as the heroine for your next movie 2500 A.D?” She begged me. She seemed like an animal of some other planet(Alien?). “A dentist may have to work for months together to re-innovate her face cut!” –I thought. If this girl is the heroine, I’ll be lost in the box-office!!!” “I’ll tell you the story first. If you are convinced, then it’s all right” –I told. “All the shootings in New York city.” –I said. “Wav! Cool!” –she was amazed. “Hero’s father is a scientist. He works for “Advanced Studies In Science And Technologies.” He is trying to invent a ‘future-discovering’ machine, from the last twenty years. I mean, in A.D 2500, he’s doing all these.” “And the hero?” –she

Doubts...

"Papa, what is inflation?" -questioned Rocky. "My silly boy, you won't understand. Go and play with the neighboring kids" -replied his dad, reading the news paper. Unlike all other boys, Rocky is a quick-responding boy. He always comes to his dad with a handful of doubts, which, according to his father is over-matured. "Why papa, U.S has no any contenders in the international economic-level?","What actually is the intention of the terrorists?" - are some of the samples of his doubts. Now-a-days, Mr.John maintains 100% silence whenever Rocky questions. Rocky goes out to play with the other kids, without murmuring anything!!! Silly boy! What could he do??? **** Rocky returned from the neighbor's house too early this evening. Dad amazed, "Why my boy...? Are you O.K?" "Papa, nobody is there to play in Chintu's house; everybody were crying. Some were telling that Chintu's papa is very serious.

What is your strategy?

" Never fall in any affection with anybody in your life. Don't 'feel' anything. Love yourself...!" -This was one of the SMSess I received one day morning. As I never love the messages with some 'feelings', I just deleted the SMS. After a while I started really thinking about the message content. Is that really true? Shouldn't I fall-in affection with anybody? Also, is it wrong to love someone? or some'thing'? Life is not as easy or as difficult as anybody can explain. The real life is the 'experience.' All of us have born to achieve something in life. Now comes the strategy: How will you achieve the things?You'll get two major ways. (i) Love and (ii) Business. If you want not to be 'affected' by anyone, you should go in the second path. I'll tell you one more thing: Love is a minor part of the business. i.e, there also we have to 'love' the things a bit, but there's a limit. Too much is too bad

Self discipline

Image
"How will be your behavior when you see that nobody is observing you? Will you still be following some rules? Will you still be having some manners? Then, you are a self disciplined gentleman. Such disciplines always lead us to success. Suppose that you are given a home work in your class. The teacher will tell you that she would be checking it the next day. You'll surely do the works given. On that same day,suppose if some other teacher will give the home work, and say, he won't warn you, he won't give any punishments. Will you do the work still? If you do, then you are the self-disciplined one. Whenever we think that somebody is observing us, we'll do the best out of us. That's why we say that god is observing all the things. When we are afraid of something, we can give the society the best. If you only are observing yourself, then no need to afraid, you will always be the best. Let's take this self-discipline aspect more seriously...!

|| SHABD ||-2008 ... A fantastic fest!

Day-1: You can't believe unless and otherwise you were there in SJCE -auditorium on 19th September 2008, at 4:30PM! The audi was filled by audiences who were witnessing curiously the inaugurals of "shabd"-08. Even the chief guest Dr.Shreenath of 'Dhwanyaloka' had got surprised to see such a huge number of students for the inaugurals of a literary fest, in a technical institute! The inaugural started at sharp 4:45PM. It was announced in '93.5 S FM' (one of our media partners) that there's a screening of the movie "DWEEPA" after the inaugurals, so many people outside college were calling and asking about it! We got unbelievable response for the movie show! Thanks to you guys! Day-2: It was the "event's day." There were competitions like English debate, Creative writing in kannada and English, painting, Kannada JAM(shall I call it as the 'event of the fest'???!!!), along with many informals like Mysore quizz, cr

|| Shabd || --The inter college literary fest...

|| Shabd || --The inter college literary fest... I t was a beautiful idea of our Ed-board seniors, three years ago, to have an inter-college literary fest. In tecnical educational institutions, as you see, care for literary activity is very less. But it was in our SJCE , the principal and the staff gave amazing support to the fest, and because of this, it has seen a grand success in the past two years. This year we are organising the third year's || shabd || fest, on 19th, 20th and 21st of September, 2008. There'll be events both in Kannada and English, along with painting and photography. For each event, we'll be having resourceful judges. The vents are:- 1.SANSAD-English debate, 2.DUNDUBHI-Kannada debate, 3.MELTING THOUGHTS-English creative writing, 4.CHITTA BHITTI-Kannada CW, 5.DREAMING FINGERS-English poetry, 6.PADAGALANGALA-KAnnada poetry, 7.PUNKHANUPUNKHA-Kannada JAM, 8.CAPTURED FEELINGS-Photography, 9.STALL OF COLOURS-Painting, '10.BOOK SELLER'S QUESTION-E

Is management an art? Or science?

Is management an art? Or is it science? [It was the class room debate in the “Entrepreneurship and Management” class, and this was my argument saying that, “management is an art.”] For the time being, you forget the term ‘management’. Consider this nature. What do you call this nature as? As an art? Or is it science? We say that, this nature is a beautiful art; it’s a great gift to us by god. We compare this to a great painter’s great painting. But what this nature is actually made up of? It’s nothing other than all those chemical reactions such as, condensation, evaporation, deformation, sedimentation, etc. This is nothing but science. Still, nature is an art. In the same way, “management” ‘IS’ an art; but it has ‘science’. We can define art as, ‘production of something beautiful’ and science as, ‘part of the knowledge which are studied in the systematic way’. Then, what is management? When it was asked to a famous management guru, he told us to join the following 9 points with the he

We and our TV channels...

Imagine a TV channel. What comes to your mind?Of course, the breaking news, the reality shows, the serials which have finished thousands of episodes and mainly, the advertisements! Is this what TV channels are really meant for? Or if I ask my mom to imagine a channel, she would certainly tell about good many films, the news or the informative videos -which she has watched out in the earlier times. Why this drastic change? Some of the TV channels today seem very eager to put their cameras only in front of crimes! Breaking news has no longer informative, instead it's been considered as the "break-less news."Nobody has faith in those. Moreover, you'll get the "breaking news" only of some "hot fields." As per a survey, 30% of the today's TV shows are "reality- shows", whichever the channel it may be. By the end of the year 2010, it will be 70% ...!!! My question is, are those shows really "reality shows"? Can you say th

"Books versus the internet"

Image
My mom always complains to the neighbors that I spend more time in front of the PC, in particular the internet, instead of the books.Of course I am. I know most of my friends will be facing such comments. But why?What has made us to get so much interest about internet, rather than books? The answer is that, visual effects affect us a lot:). The internet gives you much better visual effects than books. Most of us feel "bored" while reading the books. But when you get bored while browsing, you will jump to another interesting link. As far as entertainment is concerned, internet stands in first rank(which most of us want). Books can just tell you how to get the entertainment or sometimes, you only should treat "reading" as entertainment. Importantly, browsing directly affects our brain and nerve system in a worse manner. That's where books will lead. Books give your mind calm and peace.So some find reading the books as a better option at free time, rath

Kumara Parvatha- a heaven on the earth...

Image
Right from the day I finished my 3rd semester B.E examination, my friends started forcing me to come with them for a trekking. I was not so much 'psych' of trekking. So, I kept on neglecting the trekking idea. But when my friend told that the place decided is "KUMARA PARVATHA", I quickly agreed to come with them, because I'd heard a lot about its natural beauty! Kumara parvatha, a hill near Kukke Subrahmanya- a very sacred place for Hindus- has its own history. It's the birth place of the sacred river Kumaradhara, which finally joins the Arabian sea. The small stones which you'll see at the top of the hill are peculiar ones. Our troop was consisting of 6 members. Me, my friends Sharan(S K), Praveen(P K), Lakshmeesh(L K),Keshavaram(K K), and Ganapathi maama. We left Kukke Subrahmanya in the early morning, by 6.30AM. To reach the top, we had to walk for almost 20kms...!!! Since everyone had unbelievable zeal, trekking seemed us to be very silly. First w
