Google Doodle Competition

Today when I was surfing my way through Google I found the Google doodle being changed being a fan of those little pictures containing facts I checked out and it turned out to be the  most interesting thing. Here we go, For this children’s day Google has done a great job by igniting young minds and helped them bring out their artistic talent and expose it to the whole world.

A Little Thought On Library Day

KNOWN is a drop, unknown is a ocean

To Know that drop start reading!!!

Well If someone asks me when did you start reading I would say a few years back, Yes only a few years before I have started reading books on my own conscience and then only I came to know about the real taste it carries with and the immense enjoyment I got after completing my first book within a month or so. I don’t regret for starting at such a late time because most of the people around me haven’t even started reading on their own conscience. All we do is that we memorize the text given to us in our syllabus which happens during our school time and in college we try to understand the concept which for half of us eventually leads to the same process of memorizing. Seriously the information you gather when you read a book by your own willingness is vast and infinite. Whatever the book maybe just start, I’m not saying that you have to start with Encyclopedia Britannica's twenty volume just start with a novel which is at the reach of your hand. Then you will understand the power of reading for me reading helped me to concentrate on the work at hand, gives me a peaceful mind, helped me to know where today’s billionaire’s and renowned people came from, inculcate a lot good habits, helps develop a nice character. The above said is for me and its different for lots of people. This is just a small look back on the celebrations around me for the coming Library day in my campus.

So what are you waiting for look around for the one to start with, My wishes :)

MICROSOFT OFFICE 2010

Most of us have heard that Microsoft office 2010 is out for a technical preview if you want to check out the cool environment of office here we go…having downloaded the software for myself, I have been using Office 2010 for the past one month well technically it is called as MICROSOFT OFFICE MONDO 2010.It’s been updated with everything you need have during the time you spend in a document. Firstly it has been built with a elegant design uncluttered from unnecessary stuff. Mondo on the whole comes with Access, Excel, Designer, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Project, publisher, SharePoint Workspace, Visio and finally with Word. Some of the features included are TRANSLATE option, 

you can even load a complete document and then select the translate document to any language you wish,within seconds you will find the text in that language. If you wish to attach screenshot of the page you are working on you don’t have to go searching for a separate software there’s a screenshot option provided for you. There is lot more in the new version of office 2010, just download it make your lot more simpler. There is also a problem going on in the background that Microsoft has been banned from selling Word, since word can open XML format documents. This is a case filed by i4i a content solution and Technology company, and i4i won that the verdict is as follows, “On May 20th 2009, Judge Davis and his court's jury ruled that Microsoft is banned from selling any Microsoft Word products and it owed i4i a $200 million”.

Lets see if this can stop Microsoft from selling its well known Word.

Expression Of Love

After a really tight week I'm back now(I'm free now) and I had a mixed kind of experience from the past week, I have done a lot of useful things read lot of books spent a great amount of time with friends usually I used to hang around with my laptop but i have changed my habit. Well I have spent the last two days thinking about the topic for this post and I had been presented with an excellent one. Here we go I watched one of my junior having a nice time with his family a bunch of people came by to visit him (most of us know that it is one of the traditional customs in India to visit their children in their college) and the whole family was completely enjoying the time with their son or grandson or whatever relation it may be everyone hugged him asked about his college affairs his health and started sharing their family affairs even the small child in the family where playing happily nearby everyone is laughing and and the whole place is filled with an enthusiastic look, everyone expressing their true love and having a look at them itself made me feel delighted by their love and how much they have missed their little buddy from home. well after some time he took the whole family on a tour around the campus. well actually there where lot of other families and I felt really surprised how did I miss this thing in the previous three years of my study I have seen it a lot of times before but today only I have noticed it with such an insight, there is always a different point of view in each and everything we see. The next I did sorry doing is writing this post....

One more thing I want to share at this is moment is that I have asked my friends and friends and friends of friends to have a look at my blog and share their views about my blog. I'm extremely delighted by their response and suggestions. I have planned to do a great job back here with my blog in the years and months that follow. Thanks a lot guys for all your support.

Trekkers Destination

Hello everyone trekking is not an easy task, if you hear someone say that it is a complete lie, and I have discovered this after trekking on the Yercaud hills this weekend, I don’t think all of us know that there is a hilly way especially for trekkers to reach yercaud town. Well there is this way and if you want to shed down some sweat out of your body then you sure have to take this one.

The total distance is around 12 kilo meters roughly, as you all know you have to take your basic trekking kit, if you need you can also take a forest officer with you or some local guides. Now about my trekking experience, we have started at around 8 in the morning no need to mention the fact that it is not the best time for trekking, well we have planned to start at 6 but due to Gods gift of  undisturbed sleeping our plan has been changed, coming back after having our backpacks filled with food, water and first aid kits we have started and it seemed to be a normal road but then it started to ascend and my friends are all started asking for a stop but having made up our mind to stop after covering half of the distance we have continued on our trekking , to be frank I was completely exhausted within 20 minutes of the start and thanks to Glucose (My Life Saver) which saved my day by providing sudden boost up when I started to go down on energy. On the way there’s not much of animals you can find but a good place for photography you will find stunning sites surrounded by hills, Unfortunately I have missed my cam so I was unable to provide you with some visual treat of my trekking experience.After reaching half of the distance we had our break fast in the middle of a bamboo forest on the ascending hill. On the way you will be able to see a lot trees for sure you would have never seen them before. since we took the trekking as a group it was completely filled with fun and of course a sense of adventure. At a rate of 3 kms an hour we have reached our our destination at around 12’o clock. The first place we visited was rose garden, I’m really astounded to see that much varieties of roses. Well the trekking trip was really good to be frank it was one of the best weekends I have spent in the recent times.

Are you a book lover--Hers's a Fest

Are you a regular reader residing in Erode? Then if you haven’t visited the book fest that ended this 11th man you have missed a great treat. I’m sure the publishers will be really astounded by the response, and the book fest ended with our Former president APJ Abdul Kalaam giving away the keynote address. Well there was as usual The Best Sellers, New arrivals, Famous Autobiographies and of course flooded with discounts. And I had the opportunity to be there and buy some books since the place is flooded with people we doesn’t have any time to review the books (one thing I don’t like about these Fests) except this everything was superb almost every famous publishers had their stalls, there was a separate stall for books written by and about Mr.Kalaam if you are his follower then you are cornered there. And if you are a regular novel reader then you have a double fest!! Yes 5 novels for Rs 200/- I’m sure that is a good deal.

So everyone will be thinking of which book to select when you have lots of choices left all around you, Novels by Agatha Christie, Sidney Sheldon, Jeffrey Archer etc-Self development books by Robin Sharma, Paul Coelho and lots more-Leadership Books-And my favorite “Biographies”. So my choice was so simple since I found a book written by one of my best political leader as well as a renowned speaker, if you think like me then you could have guessed him yes he is Barack Obama. The book I bought was “THE GREAT SPEECHES OF BARACK OBAMA” and to my surprise this book also accompanies an audio CD of those speeches.

I’m almost half way through the book, every speech is just simple but got an in-depth message for every word he spoke, I suggest everyone can have a glance at this book then you will know how he won presidential election. Only one thing comes to my mind when I read this book

You are the Master of the Unspoken Word

&

You are the slave of a Spoken Word

Commitment- A Shortcut To Success

Most of you will disagree with me saying that there is no shortcut to success well there isn’t but this will be a lot easier than the others. Commitment simply means a conscious choice to do something, not that whenever we like to do it but doing it regularly.

Well a sudden thinking about commitment comes to my mind afterI have attended a training program organized by the Society Of Automotive Engineers, to my surprise around 40 colleges from Tamilnadu attended the program and everyone one of them right from the start of the program kept it alive as if it is a conference. I’m already dumbstruck by their active participation and in-depth knowledge about what is going in the society, coping up with all this I went on listening to the discussion and the chairman of SAE was explaining us about how to increase the membership of the club and the main qualities needed for being a good Leader or a business person or to be a person with highly organized goals and targets.

There are mainly two qualities that shows your commitment

Focus and Personal Sacrifice

First you have to show a single-minded purpose in what you are doing, simply everything you do should be directed towards the purpose, And the second thing is show some personal sacrifice.

I can tell an example for this and this happened the very day. Around 5 pm that day everyone of us have been assigned some work that none of us have ever heard about, but thinking that all we do is for the SAE everyone accepted their work sincerely, after assigning the organizer announced that if we want he will help us out with our work at 10 pm after dinner, to my surprise everyone turned up at 10 and it went on till late night. we have of course missed little sleep but I would say this is the commitment that everyone out there had towards the Society of Automotive Engineers and this is what leads directly to success. Irrespective what you are working on or whom you are working with,  if you commit yourself completely to the work you do the result for sure will be the success and the feeling of it is completely different. Try it yourself.

Have you ever tried the worst of your “Worries or Fears”

Well most of us do not want to try that out because we have  unconsciously given it a big tag in our mind  saying that DO NOT TRY THIS OUT--it is a kind of impulse that our brain sends when we see those things tagged as said above by us, well if you are that kind of person having a long list of Worries and Fears that taunts you on your way to success, I suggest you start trying out the list one by one starting with an easy one.  Because once you have started doing that then only you will be able to concentrate more on the future that lies ahead.

To start with I have always had feared about taking responsibilities thinking that what if something goes wrong and then people will blame me for the mistake, after watching how other people handle their responsibilities and the mistakes for years and learning from them, here i am taking as much responsibility as i can with the work available around me and learning constantly on how to avoid mistakes. The next  one I had once worried about is conversing fluently with people who are branded expertise in it, after some really nice work outs I'm now ready to talk to anyone and develop a friendly relationship. well I’m not a Pro in that but I’m sure I’ll come out quiet successfully. And the list goes on and on you don’t have to wait for eye opener to help you out with your worries and fears, just have this one thing in mind.

What have we brought into this world—To lose it or to take it back

What I'm trying to express here is that all those things that seems to be so big for us to worry about is nothing but a thick mist covering everyone of us, all we have to do is search for the light and not sit around waiting for someone to bring it to you. This is a world which has a placard firmly attached on it saying Survival Of the Fittest so those who dare finds the light.

Birthday-What's So Special In Getting Older???

The day when everyone around you wishes you “Happy Birthday” makes you feel delighted right, obviously everyone of us should be because you are the hero of that day. Well whatever the reason maybe here are some of the funny reasons i have come across about birthday…

4. Birthdays are like busses, Never the number you want.

3. When I have a birthday I take the day off. But when my wife has a birthday, she takes a year or two off.

2. Inside every older person is a younger person - wondering what the hell happened.

1.Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and

says, "Ted, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?"

Ted says, "I feel like a newborn baby."

"Really? Like a newborn baby?"

"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants."

Well thinking about all this i have celebrated my twentieth birthday today, showered by wishes and blessings from almost everyone i knew this is one of happiest birthday i ever had. Let see if this happiness comes along with me this whole year.

Expect The Unexpected

The topic sounds a bit odd right, well to put it in a nut shell this week was packed with a lot of unexpected stuff for me. To start with i have been selected as a event coordinator for one of the national level technical symposium Futura 09 in our college i was already confused with what to do to as a event coordinator as this goes on, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has asked me to attend a club officers training in Vinayaga Mission deemed university, to take the unexpected thrill to the next level i have been unanimously selected as a overall organizer for the ISTE students chapter 2009 one of prestigious engineering society in India and being an integral part of it is one of the dreams of every aspiring engineer. Well today my dream has come true.

To be frank i do know that my leadership qualities are not up to the mark for thrusting me with such responsibilities but i do have the guts to face anything to complete a task given to me and as everyone of us know Experience is the best teacher one will ever come across, so having this in mind i do hope to complete the task in my hand successfully. One more thing comes to my mind looking over these things i clearly say “Opportunity can knock your door thrice in a week”. Ha ha ha.

If your are interested you can check out the details about our college symposium from the following link.

Tour Diary….

Well as the title suggests its about a place i have been to recently,not to simply think of it as a place its more than that a serene natural beauty still uncovered by human not much of it are opened up.Ok the place is Nelliyampathy this sounds like a little village in some forest but guess what its not,its a place hidden between two hills.Let me tell you about the journey and the bumpy ride to reach the destination.

To be exact the place is located in kerala a tourist spot still not known to many i suppose, its a 70 km drive from palakkad in this drive you will find nothing but farms and hills and after half of the journey the ride is on the hills,well you have to know this that i am not much of a traveler but this one really turned me out. On the way towards the hills you have to stop by a large dam it collects the water from the mountain streams,this place is has a stunning view with hills all around. Now lets ride in the hills, once you have started to climb up the hills you will feel three things first a temperature change then lots of small streams running wildly and finally you can find the freshness in air. So the next 15 minutes goes on like this till you reach nelliyampathy.

Once you have reached nelliyampathy you have to park your ride there and take up a four wheel drive because the next 20 minutes will be a bumpy ride you have ever enjoyed in your life, I’m sure you will have your “heart in your throat”. During the ride you will be able to find lots of wild animals if you dare you can stop by without disturbing the wildies. Once you go deep into the hills all you can find is heavy mist and a very cool temperature, after all this you have reached your destination.There are four resorts around there you can check in any of those, now all you can do is explore the thickly covered mountains and enjoy the climate you can also go for a SAFARI arranged by the resort and see the extinct wild life. This place has another reason to be serene because there will be no electricity, no network coverage (don’t worry every resort has its own backup power system and network in case of an emergency) so there is no barrier between you and nature.

I wish it is one of the ideal place for exploring and touring in the wild especially during this season.

Attitude Matters....

Hello everyone this my First time experience in Blogging i have read lot of blogs before but never before i had this idea of trying out myself so based on your feed back let me see how far this goes on.

So when i was in fifth grade i'm not good at maths so i have attended an extra maths classes taught by a college professor once in a test conducted by him he asked "WHAT IS MATHS" none of my friends had a clear idea so he asked me to find out the answer from anyone who taught maths at my school. As a try i asked two of my teachers the same question.One of that teacher answered me and also gave me some references to other definitions from varoius books and for the other one who thought i'm testing his knowledge in maths started humiliating me like anything since he was the one who taught maths to me in my school this issue became so big that every one of my staff came to know about that and make fun of me.Till now i dont understand what was wrong in asking such a question but i found out one thing that ATTITUDE is what gives a difference between people and that is what takes people to great heights..........
