Book

 

 

Yesterday I read a book – Chuknyapurvi. It’s a non-fiction, written in Marathi. I had read it 1-2 years ago too. I had liked it. Today while arranging my books properly, it came into my sight. And I felt like reading it. It’s very nice. While reading, 60-70% times I felt it is written for me only. It’s a kind of psychological book, small and divided into 15 sections. Each section focuses on the particular nature of a human. I liked it because it answered my questions. And we like every that thing which reciprocates us as per our need.

            I got to know a new term in psychology – Type ‘A’ personality. For such personality, work is the worship. They never get bored. They keep doing something. So there must be Type B and Type C personalities too. I would love to know what kind they are of. This post will be edited when I will get to know about them. 

Strom

This was written on 4^th Oct.

 

Today we met with a small storm. It was around 5 in the evening. I had come to Mumbai on weekend. I was taking a nap. And suddenly I got up hearing the noise of stormy wind. I shut all windows and was observing the things happening. All trees were struggling to hold their existence in ground. Lightening had made a spark with the electric tower in front of my home. I was watching all these things from glasses of my window. Suddenly thought of clothes which were kept to get dried out in the balcony, struck to me and I opened the door of balcony. As soon as opened it, all the drops of water started breaking into the bedroom. Anyhow I managed to collect all the clothes and books which I had kept in a cupboard in the balcony. After all this happened, a thought came in mind. How strongly we are protected in home!! A minute before opening the door of balcony, I was safe behind the walls of home. Just a step out of it made me realize the existence of safety under the roof. I Hat off to all civil engineers for this reason. (Though we always fight that software engineers are better than civil ones :D)

            Same way, we are safe under mother’s roof. But when we enter just a step out of it, we realize the absence of it. This phase in my life has showed me lots of things that I didn’t have imagined also. 

Start in amdocs

I had written this post on 4^th Oct. But due to server problem I couldn’t publish it.

 

 

Two months over in amdocs. I joined on 4^th august. That day was the start for two things- days in amdocs and days away from home. I got very less experience of training as compared to others as we 4 got the project very early. That was decided according to our project requirement. Other 3 were from different colleges than mine. The day when we got into project was the first surprise in amdocs (As far as I know, I have had very few surprises in amdocs). I call it surprise because I had never thought of getting the project so early. Then on the same day I got the first assignment in amdocs. Handling some difficulties I could finish the assignment but with some delay. So the start was not so good. Still I was little bit happy that I could finish the assignment. Who knew that the way I had made it was not the required professional way, which I came to know just yesterday when I saw the actual required format? After around 1 or 2 week we got one more assignment. I finished that also with some delay. I was not satisfied at all with that one. My colleagues had helped me in that. In fact, when I finished that I didn’t feel that I had applied my brain in an effective way. Before I had finished that assignment I had already got the other new assignment. That day I realized the tension which approaches when we have more than 1 thing to accomplish and all are not so easy. Then again as I have said earlier that my colleague helped me, I could complete it. Anyway, to let somebody see that I have done my work (though with some delay) was important at that moment instead of how I had done it. I was not satisfied at all. But there was another assignment in my sight. The assignment was divided among our group. So now this time I was to achieve it on my own. But I had to take help from somebody for some or other reason. This is also true that without taking help we can’t achieve things when they are new for us. I still haven’t finished that assignment. Now the chain of assignments is going to continue. The important thing is how much I learn from them. Till now I could have only realized that if I am able to make myself aware of the things in my project as early as possible that would be better for me. When I can’t achieve things on time, I get frustrated. At such times we need some inspiration (At least I need). Some people can inspire themselves, others like I need somebody to inspire. I need to change this attitude.

            There are lots of things which I need to learn. It’s essential for me to learn them as early as possible, if I want to survive in this world of competition.

 

            I have written this post, when I’m frustrated. So it may appear that I’m under great strain that I don’t get to live happy moments in amdocs. But this is not true at all. I have got good friends. I am really enjoying this new era in my life.

visual studio 2005

While searching for avoiding warnings in visual studio i came to know that when we double click on the warning or any error, it navigates us to the actual code due to which the warning or error has occured. Good info!!

To avoid warnings we can write a macro

#pragma warning (disable: 6011)

in the source file.

The code to treat warning as error is,
#pragma warning (error: 6260)

This is for a particular source file. Now i have to find it for the a project containing many source files.

Project, submission, exam.. everything over!!! result out!! got distinction (according to our unpredictable grading system). Then i continued teaching which i had started in January. I got a student to teach c++. I joined classes to improve communication skills, GDs, debates etc. Huh!! So many things happend in these 2-3 months. So i dint get bored in these days as everybody gets in vacations. I had so many experience to share. But dint get time to write them here! In the last week i left teaching or i can say i finished it. But this is just a break. Whenever i will get time for this, i will try to do it.
I had very good experience in this profession. I learned lots of things while teaching- knowledge as well as confidence of expressing it. The most important thing i got here is Respect. It matters a lot for me! i was happy that my students used to give me respect and they trusted me. and hence i always tried to fulfill their needs. So i did it till i get satisfied. That was completely new era of life!!
And now... huh!! i m little bit excited and scared also for next days in my life!! They are going to be completely different. I am gonna stay away from my home, from my parents. This is going to happen for the first time. I am going to enter the professional life!! Now student life is over. I am going to join amdocs. Its in Pune- Hadapsar (Magarpatta). Now i am looking for flat on rent. Little bit tensed. I will take atleast 2-3 months to adjust with new people, new place, new work. Lets see what happens and how it happens!! Just 12 days to go!! huh!!! :-ss

Project!!!

We are supposed to submit aur last year project in coming week. The main part is implementation. We had started it 4 months back only. But still its not completed. There are lots of things remaining to do. Our topic is Webtop. We had divided all its components among aur project members- Pranit, Sachin, Sarika, Omkar and me. Pranit and i are doing File System, bookmarks and image viewer together. We wanted to do Email system also. But now it seems impossible to do it as we have not started also. We started with file system. We tried to built each and every function which we see in our normal window's My Computer. Building each function not so easy. Something i get irritated with errors. Initially i used to be dependent on Pranit for error solving as he is a technically very much sound. But now i try to debug on my own. It takes so much of time. But when i solve some error or when some function works, I become so happy that i feel like jumping on my chair!! I remember i had done image viewer completely on my own or very little help from Pranit, I was too happy when it worked. Its really true that when we do something it makes the difference. I am really enjoying this work.

Our Trip

I had gone to picnic with 35 of my friends from my class. We left early in the morning. 4-5 from our class had organised the picnic and it was oraganised fantastically. The hiring of a proper bus, arrangement of food, the resort for refreshment, leaving all of us, specially all girls back to home and doing all these in a minimum required cost, the whole plan was fantastic. There is no doubt about it.
My day was awesome in all respects. Though the journey started from Dadar, some of us boarded the bus from Vashi. Sarika and trupti had boarded thana-vashi train in thana and i from airoli. We met in the train and had some gossips. I came to know few things i was not aware of which. thanks to Trupti for it. Hehehe!!! Then we boarded the bus at vashi. Real picnic started from there. Before we board the bus, others were already playing antakshari. I love to sing songs in a crowd. And i had got the chance after long time. So i enjoyed it a lot. My voice is very bad. Though i know it, i dint stop anywhere. Even, after sometimes my voice was breaking very badly. That was just for sometime. In between we had Idli-chatni and sambar. I appreciate arrangemnt of fresh snack so early in the morning. Around 11, we reached the the Vikram Vatika Resort. There we got refreshed and then we moved to our next journey toward korlai fort. Our bus stopped 1 km away from the fort. So we had to cross this distance on feet. We came across the residential area of some fishermen. We could see the different house-style. The people were typical fishermen. Their dressing style and all was telling that. All of them were observing us as we are some foriegners. Then we came across the sea shore. That was very clean and so beutiful that anyone can get fascinated towards it. I could not believe on my eyes that i saw such a clean sea shore at a place near to Mumbai. My eyes became content to see that sea shore. We watched the fort and then we returned to the resort to have lunch. In the resort, we took some fotographs. That was all just show off, wearing goggles and different different hats. But still that was also a part of fun and a tool to store proofs of our fun. Then we moved to Kashid beach which was the main attraction of our trip. initially, i and sarika had decided to not to go deep inside water. we were gonna wet only legs. But then after sometime Pranit and Dhiraj came to wet us more. We did lot of fun there.At some moment,we- me and sarika were literally floating on the water. There we found a bliss of heaven. A bliss of forgetting ourselves. This was the day without everyday's trouble, without duties, responsiblities. The day was fantastic. Then me and sarika lay down on a swing of net. That was also the moment of piece, a moment of relief. Then at around 6:30 we left the beautiful beach and moved towards birla mandir. I had already seen that temple, but was visiting it after a long time. The temple is very beautiful. We could experience a moment of piece after spending the whole day with all naughtiness. Then we moved our bus back to home. We played truth and dare. Vipul told his amazing story. He brought tears from my eyes.
At 1130 i returned to home with all memories of a bright, beautiful, fun-giving day.
