From ORKUT to FACEBOOK

I look back to the the day for which i waited impatiently.Yeah it is of course, the first day of my college life.After watching a lot of movies,It is quite obvious to find students expecting their college life to be like that,so was I.Thanks to the then famous  ORKUT,i was able to easily find my college friends even before the start of college.Having a cousin studying in that college and lots of friend through social networking sites,my first day was not that difficult to spend .I was completely shocked when i was taught lessons on the very first day unlike in other colleges where they had orientation programs.For the first 10 days,I would have told very bad things about my college to whoever I spoke to.I was blessed with many friends and that made me enjoy the days ahead.I enjoyed all the E.G classes (thanks to Punnagai Arasi).I thought all in my class were studying too hard even for class tests,may be it was because of the long holidays after their 12th.After taking my 1st semester exam  I realized that whatever I studied just one hour before sitting in front of the exam hall had a major portion in my question paper and to my surprise till my last semester exams this practice continues.With the 2nd semester,things dint go that easy for me.Electronics and Electrical subjects were puzzling me totally(I was happy that I dint take any electrical stream).Thanks to B.C.M(boys kaga class edutha master) subject,I cherish each and every class and the fun we had in that class.I was in II year,now i was no more a junior and this phase indicated that i was not going to learn my favorite subject-physics anymore.With the start of the II year, more computer science oriented subjects,more bonding between classmates ,Life was very very pleasant.All the tricks I used to play in the ADC labs will always make me feel nostalgic about college life.II year was quite hilarious,It must be mainly due to 2 reasons-the okay va OS mam and The best English speaking EVS mam and each of them competing among them for providing more laughter in class.Pre-Final years was the new title given to us.I wondered how i had spent 2 years in the college i initially hated to the core.I was completely for a shock for this was the shortest semester in my college life may be it was like that because of the Strike in my college.I realized that my class which had a three-forth of girls population became very much united in this semester which resulted in the kodaikkanal trip with ma classmates(Mini Iv).With the Pre-final stage going to end,6th semester Aca classes were eagerly awaited upon.We had the best discussion,gosips,games,assignment writing sessions,talking over a phone,taking as many pics possible,doing whatever we wished to in the presence of a teacher in a strict college was quite surprising.Now we were called the Final years.I was happy that mathematics was not going to be with me that semester.With the placement fever,I was happy to see each of my fellow classmate working very hard to crack the aptitude tests.Another surprise was the initiative taken by my college management for enhancing communication skills for the first time as told by my teachers.I was happy to find more percentage of students recruited from my class and equally sad that many of my friends couldn't get placed.With all these placement tension,We had to do all our record works in such a hurry.I had finished 19 labs successfully.I terribly missed them ,for i always liked practical sessions.With just 4 months more for my college life to end,I wonder how much I am gonna miss it.Hope FACEBOOK or the new GOOGLE + will  help me to be in touch with my college buddies.Thus the transformation from ORKUT to Google + i should rather put it :P:P

Praying and NOT Paying !!!

It is very difficult to find a HUNDI-less temple or a temple where there is no entry tickets for darshan  or even for archana tickets.I did find one in the outskirts of Andhra Pradesh(Chilukur Temple)also famously called as the VISA temple.Wherever you go in India,money plays a vital role in darshan of god.We never find a temple which has not been commercialized.Many people are quite unaware of this temple(Chilukur),in which the presiding deity is none other than Tirupathi Balaji,who has come here to give darshan to one of his favorite devotee.I recently visited this temple and it was my 2nd visit to perform the 108 pradakshinas.It is believed that anyone desirous of seeking a wish fulfillment from chilukur balaji  must first make 11 pradakshinas at that temple and after its granted,one must return to perform 108 pradakshinas.You wont believe me if i say that the darshan takes hardly 5 minutes but doing the pradakshinas are a tough task.We can see young students to grandfathers coming here to do 108 pradakshinas.Since the temple is quite small,you can see a minimum of 2000 devotees daily.I cherish each and every moment i spent in that temple and did want to write about it.So those who have belief in god can visit this temple where you only have to pray and not pay!!!

Travelling in Train!!!
  For many who like to travel to very long distance places,Train is considered to be one of the most interesting less expensive means of transport.With the recent price hike in the bus services in TN,people would definitely consider this as a best transport means.Moreover in the future too,Metro Rail and Mono Rail  may take over our bus services.There is lot of pleasure in enjoying the cool breeze standing near the door in a train.If you are with friends ,you can enjoy roaming from one compartment to another,playing cards,other games etc etc..Our Govt. is going to introduce the insulated,ventilated train only for transporting flowers and fruits from Mumbai to NewDelhi which is not going to be like an ordinary freight train.Namma Metro can be compared to metro rails around the world.We can drink our coffee without even spilling a drop.Metro rails run on a standard gauge and not on a broad gauge or narrow gauge.Trains are Wi-Fi enabled allowing us to use our laptops,tablets or mobile internet.Passengers are provided with voice communication system as well as there are cameras installed inside the train and stations which are monitored continuously.I am eagerly waiting for Metro Rails to be introduced in Chennai,in view of the large volume of traffic,I would prefer travelling in a train .!!!!

Project Mania !!!


With the final semester gonna start in a few days,many students  have been on the lookout of a decent project center which would offer them a less expensive,interesting,easy to understand kind of project which would be agreed by their college.Its high time that students should realize their potential and start thinking about innovative projects that they can do rather than buying them or paying high cash for projects which are not updated with regard to the recent industry needs.Students should not underestimate themselves and try to bring about innovations in their thoughts.We have to realize that  instead of paying such a expensive amount,if we try to do on our own,we l be definitely spending less.To those who have a less knowledge about the  latest projects and their domains-here u have the info ~~~
->Online leave management system
->Online help Desk
->ORS
->Optimal rule delivery(java)
->Lossless watermarking for Image authentication
->Data Hiding in binary images
->Online handwritten script identification
->Projective clustering by histograms
->Image transfer protocol for internet
->Sims
->Search engine for a college
->Java based Banking system
->e-Post office system
->Development of Online testing System
->Development of defect tracking system
->Web based meeting scheduler
->Speed cash system
->Miles Acquisition system
->Budget approval system
->Web based meeting scheduler
->mobile shop management
->advertisement tracking using soa
->proxy server
->media streaming
->GPS data logger
->voice diffusion system
->autonomous self parking car

With recent updations ,projects done using these concepts are more likely to be awarded more according to me.i would say blue ray disc which is gonna eradicate dvds in some years can be a very good topic for students to work on.Artificial intelligence concepts,Quantum computing,Image processing,Space time adaptive processing,DNA computing in security,JMX,Touch screen technology,Face recognition technology,generic visual perception processing are some other concepts which can be applied in projects..With lots to explore,Hope you guys choose the best!!Good luck :)

Google-My Favorite Search Engine
  • Google started in January 1996 as a research project at Stanford University by Ph. D. candidates Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were 24 years old and 23 years old respectively.
  • Googol is a mathematical term 1 followed by one hundred zeros.The term was coined by Milton Sirotta.
  • The name Google was an accident.A spelling mistake made by the original founders who thought they were going for Googol
  • Google consists of over 450,000 servers racked up in clusters located in data centers around the world.
The first tweet from Google looks like this:
The first google storage looks like this:
