places i visit

Missing my friends!

Its been two weeks since i was out of my native place.I sort of got adjusted to the new environment and new people with different mindsets,But i still cherish my college days where i could mingle with loads of  people.I have always been a fan of orkut and facebook,not only are they helping me to keep in touch with my family and friends but they also help me to share pictures,videos and scraps.



I am not able to have a constant touch with anyof them,but ocassionally ,I do get to know about their status and what they are up to through orkut.Our college community is buzzing with loads of posts after we left it 2 months ago.Thanks to the rise of social networking i feel like being next to my friends when i get scraps or pictures from them.When some of us went to pakal a beautiful tourist spot near to our college for a change,we were able to share with other people who are not familiar with the native place of mine,or are curious to know about some wonderful places here

.Orkut is helping me in many ways though-I can now share blogs  and join communities which i am fond of like the SuSE and some bollywood film communities.Its a nice place to share our thoughts and exchange our views!

Interning at Ogilvy and Mather India

Being a part of India's IT industry is a dream for any budding tech graduate as me.I  wanted to get an experience of the tech world as it was,and take up and work on some core areas in which i was interested a lot.Though i could not make it to any of the companies due to some unavoidable circumstances,I got an exciting opportunity to work for Ogilvy and mather,one the most respected PR  firms we have known

.Life at Ogilvy is both fun and exciting.The  Ogilvy and Lenovo hub at bagamane tech park in Bangalore provided the  experiences which i have dreamed of .

This internship program not only provided me the exposure required to be a part of a large organization,but also improve my socializing  mechanisms with other people from various backgrounds.



The creative stuff made at ogilvy is truly amazing and of high quality.

I feel lucky to be part of such a team which not only creates but also provides new and interesting concepts for ads regarding lenovo and IBM.

Things which have influenced me

Il be sharing a few things which have made a huge influence on me in one way or the other

READING BOOKS -The harrpotter mania

In the beginning when the potter phenomenon was being discussed online and on televison,i had no clue that why would people love to read a story  about an orphaned boy which also includes wizards and spells.

I still did not have the habit of reading books, Later during my 10th grade  I was introduced the word of harrpotter by my grandmother.She brought those books hoping that i would inculcate good habits  like reading, and shun other activities like playing computer games which were not so constructive according to her.

It took a week or two before I could understand the plot of the first book,two or three times a week I used to read the complete book not knowing the flow of the story.But after I had gone through the 3rd book The prisoner of azkaban,My interest of reading the series increased exponentially,i mention this coz from that day till I completed reading the final installment  it was some sort of a chore  for me to go through the book perhaps countless number of times.

Even today 7  years after I started reading the series,I still read them with the same enthusiasm and excitement as I had on the first day.The magic cannot be explained by pen, but it is something that a pottermaniac like me and others all over the world  enjoy and cherish

Not only it has been an impetus in my book reading habit,but also gave me a few morals regrading life and decisions we take in it.

J.K rownling's life before the publishing of the potter series moved me,when I got to know about the way in which she crossed several major obstacles regarding her personal life and the life that she adored from her childhood(writing books).

Thanks to J.K rowling and my granny,I have become a bookworm eversince,and some of my best friends happen to be books!

Life as a Netizen

By the time i joined graduation,visiting the local internet cafe had become a habit for me,i wanted to grab as much knowledge as i could.Being a computer science graduate i was intrested in the technical know -how about various technologies which made everyday computing more fun and easy.

As my quest for knowledge grew,so did my intrest in reading and exploring emerging technologies in some key areas like microprocessors,linux,information security and operating systems.

It was during these initial days that i started to frequently participate in the compaq user forums seven years ago.At that  time known as the "compaq community" ,which was provided as a support link in my compaq desktop.Once i was there i had a chance to broaden my knowledge about computers and help other users out when i could.

The sudden rise of social networking sites made more number of people to interact with each other in their very own user- initiated communites within orkut , which were dedicated to a particular topic or product.

When i brought a new lenovo desktop 3 years ago,naturally i joined the lenovo community there as well and became a bit of a serious player,logging in many times a day and helping out as many people as i could.

Online collaboration could never  get easier than this!

The best of the chorus group

During our schooling,we were trained to sing chorus songs in many languages like english,hindi,bengali,assamese and telugu.This is one of those songs which i would like to share with the  blogging community,since it happens to be one of my favourites :)

Song one:

Thank you for giving me this morning

Thank you for everyday thats new

Thank you that i can know my worries,can be cost on you!

Thank you for all my friends and brothers,Thankyou for all the men that live

Thankyou for even greatest enemies so i can forgive!

Thank you god your love is boundless,Thankyou that i am full of you

Thankyou for music,light and gladness

Thankfull as i do.....

There was another song which was adapted as our school song,since it exactly fits into our school moto!

Song two (School song)

Also famously known  as the VITAI LAMPADA ("They Pass On The Torch of Life"),through out canada and Great britain,this song was written by Sir Henry Newbolt during the late eighteen hundreds.

There's a breathless hush in the Close to-night --

Ten to make and the match to win --

A bumping pitch and a blinding light,
An hour to play and the last man in.
And it's not for the sake of a ribboned coat,
Or the selfish hope of a season's fame,
But his Captain's hand on his shoulder smote --
'Play up! play up! and play the game!'

This is the word that year by year,
While in her place the School is set,
Every one of her sons must hear,
And none that hears it dare forget.
This they all with a joyful mind
Bear through life like a torch in flame,
And falling fling to the host behind --
'Play up! play up! and play the game!'

I AM A PC!

Microsoft's "I am  a pc!" marketing campaign  was a different approach it made to rival apple's constant noises  about windows vista and the "pc world".I joined the campaign by registering at www.imapc.lifewithoutwalls.com.

The approach of this campaign was simple,give  a unique name to your pc and explain in a line or so about why we people would love to use a "PC"

I joined this campaign out of curiosity and never imagined that  i would be on windows.com,but there I was! on times square and microsoft.com

Its a clever campaign which microsoft is showing to its rivals,that it's still a formidable force to reckon with in the industry

Well still though,I would correct my stand and say i am a  Linux! :)
