The Changing Face of Education
It’s been almost two years since I’ve been out of college (experiences), and more than two years since I’ve actually sat in classes listening to lectures. What gives? No I wasn’t the spoilt college kid, who roamed around corridors, sat in the cafeteria watching people pass by! If anything my college life was a brilliant experience of learning something new everyday, and...

An Year Gone by at Chennai
The Beginning of Last November, saw me pack my bags, and head out to the land of anna’s and kutti’s. Chennai. It was hard bidding goodbye to Manipal, and it remains the one place I always want to go back to. Who knew that fate would bring me back to the place, where I grew from a kid to an young adult. Life has its own many ways of saying things you’d never hear otherwise. The...

Steve Jobs - A Tribute to the one man who changed...
I first heard of Steve, back in 2005. Back then iPod was the gadget everyone wanted to have, and not many did. I was in high school back then, and when I first hit the Apple website, they just came across as an arrogant American Corporation, overcharging for what was a simple Music Player. Those were the days I would flaunt an Sony Discman, and carry a bunch of Audio CD’s everywhere I...

roboteti:
As you may or may not know, this is my 8th grade year. My school goes to 8th grade, so this is my gaduation year. It would be worth mentioning that I don’t have any nerdy friends at school. I’m the only nerd in the whole 8th grade. I have an iPad. I’m the only person in my class who has one (at…

A Tale of Customer Service : Apple vs Nokia
A little over a month back, a friend of mine, had her brand new Nokia E5 suddenly go blank at her face. The Nokia E5 was her first smartphone, which is also the fastest growing segment here in India. One fine evening, the Nokia just stops working.
The next day the Customer Service Executive at Nokia Care, say’s its an issue with Water Logging. Keep in mind that the phone is only a month...

PayPal Developer Meetup @ Chennai
Over the last weekend, a friend of mine at PayPal invited me for what was being dubbed as “Meet the Leader Series.”. The only catch was that it was in the middle of the week. Either ways I managed to drag myself to Hilton Chennai to be a part of the meetup.
My whole reasoning of being a part of the meetup was simple. I wanted to put my views forward on how the world of commerce is...

Hello 2011, Bye 2010 [Rewind!]
It’s been a good five months since I first started to write on this blog [1]. 2010 is over, so I thought it’d be apt to wind up the year with a post outlining the major events of this year. When I set out writing on this blog back in July, I’d set out to find back my long lost habit of writing something daily. Have I succeeded in doing that? Not quite, but what I’m sure...

Revisiting my 22nd Birthday!
On the 15th of December, I turned 22 and I think that’s so far been the best birthday I’ve ever had. Partly because, for the first time in my life I wasn’t writing an exam like in school or college.
It’s been a almost a couple of weeks, but I wanted to write this post, so as to capture the memories forever,and someday in the future I’d be able to look at it, smile...

The Life of a Software Professional - Thoughts
A little under a year ago, I got placed in Tata Consultancy Services, India’s largest IT Company. After a rather long wait, this November we were asked to be a part of the Globally 150,000 strong workforce. It’s been 3 full weeks of working so far, but those of you looking to hear lavish praises, be warned, it isn’t all rosy as its made out to be. The work is good, but...

The Art of Momentum: Why Your Ideas Need Speed
Excellent article from 99 Percent on the importance of momentum, carving out consistent time to work on your project, and working on your project every day.
It’s just like Newton’s First Law of Motion: The tendency of a body in motion is to keep moving; the tendency of a body at rest is to sit still. In other words, it’s a lot less work to keep moving once you have some momentum, than it is...

Placement Blues @ Nitte
The placement season is in full swing at Nitte, and the current final year bunch are facing a dilemma of their own. In the coming few days, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, and Wipro are all set to visit the campus, and they intend to do it on the same day.
Most students are honestly shocked by this, because this way of placements is totally new to them. But at the end of the day its a...

What have I been Upto?
Apologies for the lack of regular posting for the past couple of months. I’ll try and get back to writing here regularly here. It’s been a nice three months sitting at home. Being the extra curious and impatient person that I am, I decided to do something productive in the holidays. After Yahoo! Open Hack at bangalore, the mood to write code more often really kicked in. So that’s...
