AK ( Akhil Kumar ) - Unlimited

This man deserves standing ovation for the spirit he has shown in the Olympics.
In India, life for a sportsman is not at all easy, lots of hard work, lots of patience are required to become a professional sports person, let alone winning something.
And especially if you are coming from an average family background.
But after you beat a world champion, when you are so close to your life time dream ( Winning Gold Medal ) it is hard to accept the defeat.
Still this man has shown guts, by saying after the defeat,
"If I can celebrate victory, then I should have the heart to take defeat also".

He had said that don't forget me.
Yeah man will never forget you. I read in the news, he is now focusing on London Olympics and the coming events in the next year and so forth.
This should also teach us that, NEXT opportunity is the best opportunity. :)
I wish All The Best, to this exciting boxer from my country :)

I donno who the author is, but kudos for him for uploading something like this.

Audio format.
If some one really want to know meaning, I may ask someone to translate this into english.
What I like about wiki is, it allows you to share something that you know; very easily.
so will write about wiki soon lets move onto poem. Do visit the audio format if u like following poem

प्रत्येकाच्या मनात एक मस्तानी असते,
अरे हळु ही गोष्ट फक्त स्वतः शी बोलायची असते.
लग्नाची असली तरी ती फ़क्त बायको असते
आपली मस्तानी कोणालाच सांगायची नसते
लोक म्हणतात हा व्यभिचार आहे
जाणुन बुजुन केलेला एक अविचार आहे
बोलणारे लोक खोटारडे असतात
स्वतः पासून सुद्धा काही तरी लपवत असतात
करतील तरी काय सगळेच बाजीराव नसतात
लोक नेहमी असेच वागतात
बाजीरावाचे प्रेम ' great' म्हणतात
तुमच्या आमच्या चारीत्र्यावर शिंतोडे उडवतात
येता जाता नैतिकतेचे डोस पाजतात
प्रत्येकालाच ठाउक असते मस्तानी आपली होणार नाही
सगळ्यांचे नशीब काही तेवढे थोर नाही
तरीही आपली मस्तानी जपायची असते
मनाच्या कपात खोल खोल दडवायची असते

Today is a gift, that is why it is called present

I just watched movie 'Kung Fu Panda', believe me I could not wait to share this dialogue.

You are too concerned with what was, and what will be .There is a saying 'yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift, that is why it is called present.'

What an inspiration this dialogue this gives you !
I mean, OK , films are fiction nothing like that happens in real life. But what is wrong if they motivate you to do something good.
It is said in Marathi, 'Grantha hech guru' ie. books are teachers, but in modern world, you can definitely say that,
' If a picture says a thousand words, then multimedia says a billion '.

I enjoy those billion words which films want to tell me, I mean every one is not that fortunate or that deserving to get company of great people. Your attitude, your background many other stuff may stop you from learning some thing directly from people, but movies, plays, books, blogs etc allows you to do that.

Ok. fine if you have not watched this movie and like to watch some cool animation and good timepass, go for this one.

I know it may get boring but still, another dialogue,

'To make something special, you just have to believe its special. '

Cool. I mean you make something very ordinary very special, and that's what makes you special.

Engineering Vs Medical

When I was in my school, I always used to watch ads of education plan by LIC etc,
characters in da ads used to say ' main banoonga doctor '. Obviously becoming a doctor was considered to be best profession because of it's noble motive ie. saving life and amount of money involved.
So obviously, I used to think those who are doctors are working for human kind, and it is THE best profession which will enable you to do that. I used to think Engineers only work for commercial requirement like buildings, cars, software etc.
But last year I did a project at IITB Techfest, which was in health care domain.
ie. how engineering can be employed to improve life of millions of people.
Isn't that interesting, I mean even after being in engineering I can do some thing that will save life of millions of people or something that will make people more healthy. So rather than thinking Engineering Vs Medical, now a days I am thinking about ideas like, Engineering in Medical domain.
A huge field of innumerable opportunity right from software to mechanical to electronics.
Personally I think, student in the engineering colleges in India ( forget India , at least in my college ) , should be made aware of the fact and opportunity in this area, I am planning to have one lecture about this, to inform my juniors, lets see how it turns out to be. But I think this field has huge potential to make our lives better and who wont like to be part of it :)

IBM ISL internship

IBM ISL internship at yerwada, was one of the very good experience in da college life.
First of all my project was Web based, for which I have been working almost for one year, so I could directly start of with main working, rather than doing some preparation or exploring kinda work.
Experience was great as it had free culture, focus was the work and innovation in it. You were free to have your own working time and ( almost :P) anything that will give better results. People @ ISL were very encouraging and co - operative, enjoyed working there for two and half months.
One more interesting thing @ ISL is playing pool :P.
I mean on the first day, Ayush ( one of my friend from college at internship) and me had decided, we donno wat we will be learning from ISL , but we wont leave chance of learning pool lol.
People @ISL were frustrated finding us every time there, near pool table :) , but we used to forget all our work once we start playing pool. Great fun. Some things don't last for too long and some one broke ( I hate that person who ever that may be) the stick and we could not play pool in the later part of internship :( .
I learned one important thing here ( apart from pool :P ),
Good programming practice ie. style of coding, regularity in the pattern etc will always save your efforts, ie. in finding bugs , to extend code etc, hope so this will help in me in BE project.
One must have internship experience, so that he will come to know importance of week ends :P , college and one year that he will be having in his hand.
Some times you have to come in formals @ISL, so at least for one year I am not gonna wear formals :)

DESIS da DreaM Part II

31 st July was da last day of my IBM ISL internship, so finally got time to complete the second part :)
I was just discussing about this with Nikhil, that we have got two excellent things ie. placement and the project@ CRL, its like we have been given every thing that one expects to have in his kitty. Lets see how we make use of this.
To mention about internship, I was so much involved, so that there was almost no partying, or rather I was not knowing what it really means, getting a good placement.
But now, after attending college, I came to know that, D E Shaw ( Package obv.) is so much appreciated :) . Really funny, but I am not at all used to do 'maaj'. Lets see if I am able to learn that also before I leave COEP :P
OK. So one year left so many things to do, wanna do AI wars, AUP, CAT, CRL project(A2C2). Won three villages in Tribalwars.net , ll win many in coming days. Have to complete BRMS project,...........
One more important thing, people have many myths about me( :P ), will break many of them.
