The computer dept.(comminuty-CLICK) in my college was able to successfully organise an amazing intercollege technical event called ‘CHROME’…actually as it is a sequel of last years event it went by the name..’chrome reloaded 08’ (undoubtedly a matrix immitatioin-who cares..) and to add to the twist, Google comes up with its latest browser named after our very event. Never realised that our little college in the suburbs of Goa would attract giants as Google even though its just a name. but yet, must say, all thanks to the students and staff of (our dept ONLY) great rivals with the rest u see. Healthy competition though.. yeah, so Google has taken a feather from us..isnt that just the topic of our tongues. Looks like we do have some identity after all. Ok, silly jokes apart(lets move on to better jokes :P)..sorry Google, didn’t mean to degrade you though I wouldn’t mind if you guys one fine day actually do take a little from us and make ourselves known to the outside waiting world..you could put a thought into that you know. I’ll have a word with our princey(principal), who knows, we could become partners and then end up havin a Google dept. all together and then you don’t have to recruit any new students just have to stick to the already bright and highly intellectual students of our college..( you guys must have already guessed how intelligent we are-thankx!)
Hmmm, so actually, Google, this goes to you(do guarantee placements if your reading it) :-
Our Chrome event went really well…with over 300+200-300+4-200(just do the math) colleges taking part. Things went as planned..people poured in from every corner of many colleges in the state and did their part as honourable participants. We had events called Orion(treasure hunt which involved debugging codes to crack the clue-a live ‘Da Vinci’ kinda thing-imitation), Sagatious (general quiz), sketching, DJ mixing(one of the guys totally looked like Farhan Akhtar!...thats strike 3 for an imitation!- and he won too..probably coz the judges just watched ‘Rock On!’)..
That’s just a sum-up of the entire two-day event which im proud to say was awesome and well planned and …and…imitation-filled(in a brilliantly good way)..again all thanks to our students and staff,etc…
So now im signing off..catcha later when something interesting turns up..
PS:Google, don’t forget to hire us…or at least pluck another feather(name) from us.. I promise to donate half my first earnings to advertising for the company. Thank You.

Mallu raax!

A special hello to all my fellow mallus(for those who r not familiar with this-malayalees)..!
onakam!..well,i was recently running a little research on how(in the world?!) did my parents come up with my name..interesting as it gets,all of us mallus are only too familiar with these names. My research was so like my profession.After questioning my parents about this name the reply was just as expected: its just one of the common names in our native land.so i turned to my most trusted source of information-the internet. first thing i looked up was what does shinu mean..and heres to the people who still dwell on this question. It means 'to die' in Japanese!!!..
i was clearly taken aback..i mean just imagine one fine day i land up in this gr8 country and greet the locals while introducing oneself.how do i address myself when it has such a ghostly interpretation in their tongue?!..anyways,i will surely narrate that great encounter if it ever comes across in my life.For now lets get back to my interesting research. Actually that was as far as the net could take(show) me.then i turned to my real life and believe it or not....
here's some of the ecstatic encounters i had some days aftr my research:-
1. A wedding invitation handed to my dad said:
'Sissy weds Shinto'(no offense to the mentioned couple..plz if your still offended you may read ahead and im sure you'll be thankful for having such sweet names)..
2.Attendence taken by teacher in shool:
twins in the class...this is exactly what happens:
Teacher:'Prince Joseph'....
Student:'present ma'am'
Teacher:'Princess Joseph'
Student"'pres...."
Teacher:'what??!...oh ok..ya..' (poor mr. Joseph..)
3.A relative whose daughters' names go like this:
DIJINA, DUNO and DANGLEY...(quite interesting)
4. two brothers:Jo an Ji.....you guys rock!

so that was just a brief list of the unusual names which are not so unusual down south..not forgetting mine as well(shinu and shinta)...ya and i also concluded a famous trend.The names either start with the same letter or if not that they have to rhyme..
so you see..all the simble peoples of kerala do not be ashamed of your names...we have company!(:P)

Photography..my latest passion

these actually stand at 2 inches wen held in ones hand..but dnt they look extremely stunning with a trick of a click?!

gud day all u ppl out der....im a regular teen pursuing a computer engineering course...wanted to tell the wrld to beware cz r IT wrld seems to take ovr the Indian economy which is a positive sing for those whose careers revolve around this field.but at the same time this can have drastic effects on the other means of our country's economical sources..let me share with all the people of our country my views on our economy as how it stand today..

Today’s economy = Tomorrow’s disaster!!

Being an Indian,I must say I am proud of my constitution and its implemenatation in the laws of the country. But today,I find a need to put in writing the crazy status of our country,as far as our economy in global terms,is concerned.let me come straight to the point :the IT world has taken over every field of vocation not only in our country ,but also in the world. Information technology,as the word says, portrays the study of technology which seems to have no limit. No objection ,this subject needs its level of appreciation which must reflect in the earnings too. But we have to consider the remaining huge majority of sheep in the flock.
IT professionals are being paid an excellent salary in todays generation,thanks to globalisation. But have we ever taken into consideration what is the impact of this on other fields of income for the country? As the IT professnals’ salary increases by the year ranging from 3-7.2 laks p.a. and ascending further,the officials in the defence academy feel insecure without enough salary comparatively,despite their being at an extremely important reputation which deals with the direct security of the country.
Today the middle class is increasing its numbers and so are their yearly incomes with IT on the rise. But what has happened to the other(remaining 60%) of the country?
The people standing below poverty line are increasing by the dozens(in millions).
On one side of the street, a young software engineer purchases a cup of coffee for 40 bucks in CCD(café coffee day)..on the other side of the street there are no takes for the tea stall which stands on the verge of collapsing. CCD increases its sales from its already existing billions(dollars). Whereas the poor chaywallah retrets home without a pinch of hope for the coming days. This is exactly how our economy stands today. There is too much attention given to the rising people but no attention to the economically deleted masses,which should not be the case.
No study is required to conclude that agriculture is the biggest asset to india’s economy..without which our market will surely collapse.it is because of agriculture that we stand today as a developing country. But despite this fact, our farmers wre not given the priority they need. Taking full advantage of their illiteracy we have the farmers unable to stand for themselves as they seem to have no educational power.the effect of this is clearcly seen as the number of sicides among these men are not uncommon. Feed the people is their duty..but do we make sure they are being fed too?

Well,illetracy may not be the case for soldiers in the defence,but the same story follows here as well. With no hope in a salary raise, the soldiers are quitting by the day and turning to the more attractive IT field,which promises a better lifestyle along with a better pay. This ultimately leads to lack of staff in the defence field and will greatly affect national security status.
The logic is unruly and unheard of. The govt. hasn’t taken precaution while giving so much popularity and raising the stakes for the IT professionals.
Govt. services are also losing their demand , although one can say they are much more secure.
Inflation is on the rise as never before! This should be an eye opening point for the govt. this is the impact of some of the decisions(with regards to priority) of the govt.,the impact of certainly wrong steps. The economy of the country as it stands now can be described as malevolent and one must beware- the time is not far away when we all shall be ,and already are beginning to feel like the victims of the rising inflation,that ultimately will strike every living being in the nation like a poisoned arrow.

In a nutshell, the finance minister and his govt has to make a few changes to the income of every vocation and see to it that no ingredient of the country’s income fails to recive its apt price. Neglecting certain fields can cause drastic changes in the lives of people that fall under poor and much worse..BPL that truly comprise the majority of the India.
