Ehsaas

My this blog is all about feelings.Life is full of feelings,there are various different type of feelings.No one can live life without it,We live every moment with any of the feeling,we can't live with blank thinking even if we are not doing anything and taking rest.Everytime when we do something or if we take rest or if we think something ,there will be a feeling in our mind.
FEELING OF SADNESSS when things do not go as we want or someone hurts the emotions of us any how then we feel sad always.life seems like it is not having any interesting thing and the smiling faces becomes sad.
FEELING OF LOVE this is the feeling which is shared with many different relations means parent loves child,husband loves wife or friends love each other etc.this is the only feeling by which we all are living in this world like living in a heaven if we are having it. love sharing makes the life happy.when someone does something which we like most then there comes a feeling of love in our mind,we think that s/he loves me a lot and want to make me happy ,that's why h\s/he is doing so.
FEELING OF LOST many times we feel this feeling .when we do hard work to find something but do not achieve it then life seems like lost,then comes the feeling of depression that we can't do anything ,we feel like a looser.
FEELING OF ACHIEVEMENT this is the feeling which increases the efficiency of doing the work.when we achieve something then our moral boostup and we try to find anything bigger than it.
FEELING OF HATE this feeling comes in the mind when anything or anyone interacted with you seems like disgusting or if anyone do such a steps that can hurt us.
FEELING OF SATISFACTION after getting something by anyways we feel the feeling of satisfaction .the small small achievements gives the feeling of satisfaction.suppose we fail in any of the exam but we had done alot pf effort for it then there will be a feeling of satisfaction in our mind that we tried our best.
FEELING OF HAPPINESS when all the things goes smooth and favourable then we feel happy.when we find something then we feel happy.this is the feeling which is directly related to feeling of finding anything most of the times.but sometimes the situation goes like we feel happy even if we are a looser.
There are various more feelings which we live in every moment of life as FEELING OF PERFECTION, FEELING OF CALM,
FEELING OF BEING SAFE and many more.when I write anything by heart then we feel a feeling of inner satisfaction.now can I ask you HOW ARE YOU FEELING NOW by reading this blog of mine?

My Performance in GD

Hello Everybody.....

This blog going to describe my performance in GD. The topic given to me is 'Regular job or Research job'.

My GD group consist of nine students. I was sited just middle in my group. Sawani Mam judging us. I decided that I will speak on Research job. So I made my points. My friend Deepak( Guru ji of our batch) took initiative means he started GD. He gave his thoughts. He spoke for Research job. We all listened his points. Then my friend vineet interrupt him and gave his views. He stood for Regular Job. His points were really strong and remarkable.

Now it's my turn to speak. When I put my thoughts to my group then it's like GD is only between me and vineet. Sometimes some of the students like sushant , shabbir gave their thoughts. They all supported for Research job. Only Vineet's thoughts different from us. I think that's good when someone cut your points. By this a healthy GD can run. Thank you vineet that you are against me.

When vineet said that by regular job you can earn more then I opposed him by saying that Research job can give more satisfaction and I think that's right. Anyways again vineet said that number of jobs are less in Research job as compare to regular job then I replied that Research job gives pride to us. vineet said less responsibility in regular jobs, I said that by research job you can serve the nation and lead the nation. vineet counter my points by saying that regular jobs are flexible and have very much scope. I said there is larger scope if your research got success. After few minutes mam said "OK Stop".

So after our G.D. mam gave her views on our G.D. She said our G.d. was good and gave the grades as per our performances and that we will soon came to know.

Let's hope for the best....

Proud to be NCSTian

Today is 16th October 2007; it’s almost the end of first semester in NCST. It’s around two and a half months past since I joined this institution for pursuing advance software course. I confess that before joining this institution I didn’t had much idea about what exactly the institutions is or what the course is and I did joined this course because I didn’t had any other choice of what I am going to do after my graduation I didn’t had any job as I lacked the basic criteria of IT companies of sixty percent in my B.Tech (I used to be an above average student during school times but somehow in engineering I was among the weakest student of the college.) So as I told I didn’t have much idea about the course and institution I joined the course because I joined it as I heard that there are almost hundred percent placements there but at the same time I was told that the course is tuff too. Never mind this was the only choice I was left with or the worst option was I should go to Bangalore and search for the job there but I didn’t preferred it.

Now here I am in NCST since last two and a half months and when I look back since when I joined the institution I feel that I have learnt a lot since the first day. Really this place is not just another computer course or training institute making profits of the fees. This place is different the people working over here that is the one doing research and teaching are very much talented and knowledgeable in every field. They seem to have wealth of knowledge and are always performing their duties sincerely. In NCST a lot of attention is paid on the students. We are made to code more and more so as to excel in this field. Student is made to emphasize more on the logical part of the problem. Here the basic part is the practical implementation of the problem. The assignment and exams are such that one has to really use his brain to solve the problem. During the projects time we are really made to work hard to complete it. The teachers here are smart enough to judge if the person has worked hard on his work or not.

Thus I really feel proud that I am part of this institution where everybody is talented and hardworking and I wish to be someday like them.

About Myself

Well, I am Utkarsh Kumar pursuing Full time Post Graduate Diploma in Advance software Technology from Cdac (Formerly NCST) Bangalore. I did my high schooling from City Montessori School, Lucknow affiliated to ICSE board in 1999 and did my intermediate from same school and same board in 2001. I did my graduation as bachelor of Technology from Computer Science and Engineering branch from A.K. Garg Engineering College recognized by Uttar Pradesh Technical University in 2007.
Regarding my family my father is private secretary in U.P. Power Corporation and my mother is a house wife. My elder brother is a Industrial engineer from I.I.T. Rorkee and is currently Branch Manager in PEC Limited.
My hobbies are playing table tennis, dramatics and listening to rock music. My strengths are communication skill, good team leader & member and hard work. My weaknesses are I am bit workaholic and I often suffer from bad health because of this. Many a times I concentrate on details so much that fall short of time and have to rush to finish it on time. Then I have a bad handwriting.
During my engineering I did three software projects. The first one was done as part of academic curriculum and it was LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, the front-end used was Microsoft VB .NET and the back-end was Microsoft MS SQL Server 2000.The team size was five and My role was as a team leader and GUI developer. As my first project it helped me develop my team member skill. Next project was done as summer training after sixth semester. It was on the topic FILE AND LETTER MONITORING SYSTEM, the front-end used was Microsoft VB .NET and the back-end was Microsoft MS SQL Server 2000.The team consisted of five members and my role was database connectivity and it helped to understand the office environment and get comfortable with it. The last was in my last semester as a part of my major project module. The project was ONLINE TEST AND EXAMINATION. The front end used was java web technology used is java servlets and HTML. The container used was Apache Tomcat Server. My role was of Team Leader and coding of servlets. This project helped me develop my skills in java.

PGDST COURSE

This is about Ncst that stands for National Center for Software Technology. It is the government organization for research and development in software technology. It has a course for students in software field called pgdst for graduate and diploma holder students to make them experts in the field of software technology. The course is not so easy. It is said that part time pgdst is the full time pgdst and full time pgdst is over-time pgdst.
The atmosphere and environment provided by the NCST is the most important aspect of the course. It is said the teachers that it is all about coding. What is required by the student is to three things 1.Code 2.Code and 3.code.It may be java, it may be C, or C++, or html. This place provides a hard time for students so at the end when the student gets out he is a complete professional. The people not too serious are not able to bear the level of strain generated and leave the course at once.
The course helps in development of overall personality of the person of overall personality of the person. Like communication skills and ability to lead and ability to work in a team.
The course covers almost all the subjects that are thought in engineering. Then there is twenty four hours lab facility so that the students can practice coding whenever then want to.
Now most important which the part the institution should have is teachers. Here the research people itself teach the student who are very much Knowledge and talented.
Another special and unique feature of this course is the way the code is evaluated by the software named “parikshak” which fetches various inputs to the code and checks if the correct output is coming or not.
Overall the course helps the person to develop his Knowledge in the field of software technology that he can easily perform any software engineering job efficiently and effectively.

My friend BABA

This post is dedicated to one of my friend and a special character named Dadhichi Kabeer Sinha.Yes, this is the name of single person.Soon you will understand why I called him "special character". This guy is nicknamed as DK,baba(baba ........),Peter (Peter ...................) ,Sant poopla ,Baberh,Kalu,Khuri etc etc Ohh! yes these all names belong to the same person dadhichi.

This guy is a very jolly natured , fun loving and a friendly person.About his habits he didn't had any as he hardly moved from his bed until he felt hungry or had pressure in stomach.but yes he had a habit a habit of sleeping sleeping and sleeping.
He had a unique accent which was a bit hard to understand but was really cute to hear(but made no sense if you somehow understand it).He had that tendency of frequently going into some kind of sad mode which that always contained some hidden mystery in and made others guessing that what had happened to him.

Next comes a very special and important chacterstics of so called baba,"THE BABA BOOK OF FACTS".sounds interesting...yes it is .These facts are collected by baba after deep and hard research from serials like "KAAL KRAPAL BHARATI" and off course discovery channel. To explain iss speciality.I should rather qoute some of them.The most interesting is this fact that ' 30% of jari-buuti of the world are discovered and 70% are still undiscovered and lie in the bed of Himalayas.Your obvious question would be "If 70% are undiscovered then how could one say that it is 70% ?",no matter that is why this fact is special. Next one is no less it is regarding Yeti.It says that Yeti (an hypothitical animal some similar to gorilla) still exists in Himalayas but its yet not seen because he is too shy to come out in front of someone.Ther is another about Komado dragon which is yet not exactly revealed completely to us.

There the best part was baba's pc which contained a big database of garbage data and huge collection of hindi songs which we enjoyed a lot in our chitrahar sessions at late night.We had a nice time teasing him and discussing on the topics not very comfortable for baba so it is not wise to mention them publicly.

Last but not the least it was believed that he had some sort of power of harming anybody just by thinking of it.But it is the fact that baba was the center of attraction to all of us and we can never forget him.

MY COLLEGE DAYS

I Utkarsh Kumar have done graduation with B.tech at Ghaziabad, U.P. from computer science and engineering. My college days were really memorable days of my life and it would be really hard to forget it. My college was situated far from the city so the environment was neat and clean with very low pollution level. The college was spread in a large area with lots of greenery all around. Overall it was a nice environment for both studies and enjoyment. Regarding class timings we had classes right from morning 9 ‘o’ clock to 5 ‘o’ clock in the evening. Although we rarely attended all lectures. After attending the classes from morning to evening we rarely had energy to play some sport or any other thing of that sort. We use to have a lot of assignments to do but I rarely did any assignments seriously and just copied them from topper students or even gave it to juniors to copy it.

Our main time pass was playing pc games single player and multiplayer on LAN and then playing card quiet a few times with friends in hostel. I use to enjoy these activities a lot. Around 8 to 9 we used to take dinner and then roam in the campus and sit on the campus uphill and chat usually our best time pass was chatting and that is what l like most. After 10 ‘o’ clock in the night we had a daily session of ‘chitrahar’ is what we called it in which we watch video song of Hindi and English movies and private albums and made funny comments on them for an hour or two. Now we felt hungry as the food in the mess was very bad and it hardly satisfied our hunger so at night just outside our hostel we had a ‘khokha’ (local term for a sort of small restaurant) we used to have some parathas and maggi come back Now what to do so we looked for some English movie in the pc and start watching it by the time it got over it was around 4 to 5 ‘o’ clock usually now we had some discussion regarding current affair and issues and we really took that discussion seriously and tease the other person if the first one prove him wrong. Soon the hunger strikes back in our stomach and it becomes hard to sleep if the stomach is empty so we had no choice but to wait for the breakfast at 8 ‘o’ clock in morning after that around 5 we use to get outside the hostel with our digit cam and use to take photograph of sunrise then have breakfast and go to sleep around 9.00 a.m. to get ready for the next day.

MY COLLEGE FRIENDS

I had a really nice friend circle in the college. They all were my true friends in the way that everyone was ready to help each other no matter what the situation is or the problem is. We altogether had a lot of fun and enjoyment which will always be a part of my good memories in my life.

We were a group of around eleven-twelve boys. All with a great mind and big heart. We mostly were hostler and were neighbors and belonged to the same branch i.e. computer science. In our regular schedule we never studied but during the exams we were on fire. Although we all had different calibers and intelligence level but no one was less than the other in his own way. We all belonged from different city of Uttar Pradesh and quiet a few times we had healthy fights among as because of that but we enjoyed it a lot.

As for my friends there was a guy named Shashank very intelligent and understandable person we used to call him scanner because of his grasping capability. He had a unique habit of making his cloths dirty while having food. The other one was Utkarsh (don’t confuse with me he had the same name) this guy had a great talent of commenting on others and making other person laugh. He the person who could help his friends to any extent and never look back on it. He was too good in math! Then there was Sanuj, many a time he used to comment on himself and make other person laugh. He had a sophisticated mind that full of enjoyment and experiments and great friendly attitude. He had a nice height and fair complexion that made him look good although he was very thin. There was Shishir the man of morals, emotions and hard work. Although he was very aggressive he had a great common sense. He a dominating loud voice which helped him to overpower anybody, Now about Sharabh a mega pack of entertainment and sometimes treat, as you never when he can make fun of you. He had a dominating personality and great academic & social mind. Even though we had a bit short height, he was good looking. Then Kunal a cute nice looking boy who we always used to ease on that on that He had a great memory and most simple way of solving the problems. Then there was Rakesh a bit odd a feel when I call his name as we use to call him Bihari as he was originally from Bihar. He had great aptitude mind and very responsible person and caring too. He was a great player of card games like 29, lakdri, court piece and hearts and was a big cheater too in these games. The last but not the least these was a creature named Dadhichi he was a quiet philosophical person we had a unique view toward very other thing. He was a very emotional person.

This was all about my friend so unique in themselves that it would really impossible to find such friends again in this life.

My journey of eight mgpa

After completing the first mgpa the next was three days later, this time I was a bit relaxed as the problem in first mgpa was quiet simple. This mgpa was on dsal. As obvious we were expecting this mgpa to be very simple too. So I was a bit relaxed as we had covered topics on Stacks and Queues. On the date I had prepared stack and queue, but somehow had not covered circular queue. Eventually day before I read in my module book that the code we write are crosschecked the concerned authority so if we are not implementing the code in correct way regardless of software giving it right ,it will be considered wrong. The day came I got the problem it was on queue I solved it and did dry run on it for the first sample input the output was coming correctly so I executed the code in the lab I got the correct output for the first sample input

And now I tried it for the second sample Input it gave the output wrong then I noticed that the problem was actually of circular queue it was already forty minutes past and I had just twenty minutes left for it I got very nervous my mind stopped working I tried with few changes few times. I started panicking and my mind fully stopped working as the time passed. So finally the time got over and I was not able to do the problem. After the paper we had the meeting with corresponding teachers they asked what was they told that we just have to get the answer right no matter how we get it. I felt sad of missing it although only seven students had cleared it. I kept practicing the problems although that zeal was lacking that I had before. The break was almost of one week. I tried to study but I had lost that pace. In the third mgpa the easy but was of better level than the first one during I wrote the code well as according to me it was correct but on computer it gave error but this time I was a bit prepared to it I kept my cool I was in on hurry but still I felt that can’t overcome my nervousness which stop my mind from working properly I tried and tried till got the it was almost complete but then just I was looking at the code “5 minutes left” warning appeared on the screen I tried once more and it got correct I submitted it and it got all Xs I understood that it was a printing mistake so removed and type submit and just then I was about to hit enter the time over message came on the screen and I had nothing left but to leave the lab. I was now broken felt like I was what to do.....(continued..)

My first mgpa

Hello, now I am going to tell u about my story about my story of how I managed to clear four mgpa in my fpgdst course but at first I should tell you that what mgpa is, the mgpa is the abbreviated name for Machine Graded Programming Test. In my first module we have a subject OPAD that covers Object Oriented Programming in Java, Data Structures and Algorithms so we have ten mgpas that are the basically programming tests that are held and we have to clear four out of ten (We have ten mgpa five on oopj and five on dsal alternately) as a necessary part to clear the module. So the first mgpa was on 21st of August. It was on Oopj as it was our first mgpa we had no idea about it’s standard as obviously I was very scared although I m a computer science engineer and I had studied java in my last semester of my engineering but you the extend to which the practical are implemented in graduation. So I started working hard for it, as a part of our exercise we are provided with self assignments to solve just for our practice therefore I kept solving them.

Finally that date came I was excited and nervous at the sane movement and a lot of questions were arising in my mind i.e. what type of problem will come? Whether I would be able to solve it or not? If I can avoid any silly mistake that I usually do? At last I got the problem. It was too simple I thanked god for it I wrote the code and managed to complete the code very quickly, then I again and again checked the code it was working fine. After the completion of an hour we were asked to go to the lab to implement that code. In lab typed the code without even looking into the paper, then I compiled it, it had few syntax error I corrected it and it got successfully compile it but during execution it was not giving the desired output. i.e. it had some logical error I looked into the code slowly and carefully and I noticed my silly mistake that I had made, at once I corrected it and executed it once more thanks to god it was running correctly and got all Ys (I didn’t tell you about the Ys this is the output provided by the software i.e. for checking of the code developed the institution had developed software called PARIKSHAK, this software has set of inputs for the corresponding output so the inputs are redirected to the code made and checked if the output is matches. for every matching you are rewarded Y and N if not. If you get all Ys your program is correct.) So my program was correct and cleared my first mgpa. I was happy about clearing my first mgpa and felt confident. Now it was the time for the next to prepare for…..

Cricket and politics

Cricket and politics, are like heads and tails in India. Some times politics wins, some times cricket wins. Though politics wants desperately to be the same two sides of the coin, it goes to the credit of the non- playing politicos, controlling the Board of Cricket Control India, that they have been able to maintain their side of the toss up. So on any given Sunday, it's either talking cricket or playing politics.
Indians are sensitive to both. Unlike the English, from whom we inherited, these subtle sensibilities, of playing the gentle in-cutter with a straight bat and understanding the middle ground between the left of center, right of center political approach. That's the Indian spirit. To live, laugh, play, fight, and then forget.
Leather and willow fighting for supremacy, as eleven, 22 hands go up together shouting howzzat! To become an international cricketer is a dream that all young Indian men nurture at some point in their life. Some ape Kapil's bowling, some perfect Sachin's front-foot drive, still others dive like Rhodes on rock hard surfaces -- bruising elbows and knees to the cheer of team mates. Cricket matches be it between city clubs, or two cricket playing nations, are keenly discussed, final word always reserved for the expert, who most of the times is a veteran of the game, much experienced, in his understanding and choice of words.
Indian politics is full of veterans -- past masters at playing one against the other, disrupting the middle order, sledging with impunity, tampering the seam, bribing the third umpire, and always aiming at the opponent's balls instead of the bails. Politics is a serious cup of tea here, caste and religion, add sugar and spice to the ever brewing cauldron. Politicians are always dressed in white. Politics is played day and night. Eyes focused as if facing an Andy Roberts in-swinger, politicians can be seen swaggering between aisles of parliament, shouting, demanding, questioning the basic amenities which are always lacking.

Every session of parliament throws in a new player, who bats, bowls and fields for the treasury benches, forward defense of the finance bill or back foot late cut of the amendment, has nothing to do with the real numbers game being played on the floor of the house. Politicians by virtue of their stamina to play politics have steam-rolled into cricketing boards. These boards have become grooming grounds for budding politicians; their knowledge of the game is limited to endorsement cuts, and cable television rights. Players become nine pins, favorites rule the roost. Talking cricket and playing politics pays. Wish it was the other way round. Who cares? It's just another manic Monday. Wish it was Sunday. Playing cricket and having a fun day.

My Roompartner in NCST.....

Hi to all......

I am writing this blog on my room partner in NCST. I have got Room no- F5 in NCST. I knew before I came to NCST that I have to share my room with someone else. I always wanted that my room partner should be of my type in nature. Soon I got to know I have to share my room with a boy named Arun Parmar.

Arun is basically from Harayana but he lives in Delhi. He has done BA (Maths.) PGDAV college of Delhi university. After his graduation he also worked in coaching center as Maths teacher. As he has done graduation from maths that's why his maths subject is very strong.

We are in NCST for improving our knowledge in computer languages like java , C and other computer skills. What I am trying to tell that one who is in NCST should have at least little knowledge in computer languages but He is completely new in computers. He don't knew C of computers before he came to NCST. He was facing very much problem in the beginning of our course but he works very hard for overcoming his problems. When ever he feel any doubt in java he comes to me without any hesitation and I help him up to my level means What I can do for him...

Whenever I think about him as a room partner he is as what I want as a room partner. He is very good boy. He believes smile and make smile others. What I like about him he know how to be cool, calm and happy in any situation. I know he does not feel comfortable in NCST just because he is new in computers

Sixty Years of India....where are we going...?

I strongly feel that a few of high flying self proclaimed ambassadors of India, glorifying soon would be Superpower India, who has not been able to answer a common man’s question why Indian State even 60 years after independence has miserably failed to provide economic security, equal land distribution, corruption free environment without victimization and suppression, decentralization of powers to people at village levels, making poor stake-holders in economic development and provided them with food, shelter, employment, self respect and oppression free existence. Question is how India can think of becoming a super power when 75%of 1.1 billion citizens live on less than Rs 80 a day, 30% live on less than Rs 40 a day, 50% children get no school education; 25% of victims of commercial sexual exploitation are below 18, 1.2 million children under the age of 5 die of malnutrition every year; 90 per cent of working children live in rural India, where majority of population don’t have access to safe drinking water, proper sanitation, qualified health services, with ever increasing threat of malnutrition, tuberculosis, rabies, water bourn diseases and malaria, where majority of population suffer from anemia, worm infestation and dental diseases leading to increase mortality and morbidity. Nations development can’t be judged by growth rate, mobile phones, cars or information technology but is judged from how majority of population live, prevalence of poverty, law and order, availability of safe drinking water, sanitation, public transport, corruption and infrastructure, which show progressive deterioration, is certainly not the reason for celebrations but real brain storm thinking, where we are heading for. I strongly feel that if "inclusive India", instead of being a term of abuse, name-calling and contention of a few high flying power brokers, henceforth becomes the top priority of media and all political parties, the 60th birthday celebrations would have more than achieved their purpose.

Movies are Fashion

Watching DVD filmmaker commentaries can be an insightful experience. The good ones will always leave you more knowledgeable about a particular filmmaker's process, craft and philosophy. Some commentaries are so accomplished that they almost become an artform unto themselves.

My favorite commentary is by director David Fincher and his star Brad Pitt for the special edition DVD of the modern classic film "Seven". I remember being utterly floored by the flow of their report together and by the simultaneously analytical and anecdotal nature of their insightful conversation. One particular statement Fincher made in this commentary truly stood out. It is the type of comment you never forget, because it is as truthful as can be and yet somehow you managed never to think of it before.

"Seven" is one of those films that broke new stylistic ground and set lasting trends for a number of films that were to come out afterwards. I remember how for years many other thrillers tried to replicate the style of its title sequence, the dreary lighting and muted color palette... I believe Fincher was discussing the unique look of the movie, which cinematographer Darius Khondji helped create, when he simply observed that "movies are fashion". In films, one trend gets replaced by another, which in turn is put out of circulation by the next trend.

Without words.....

Can we Imagine a world in which there are no worlds...... A speechless world.How difficult will be living there.The only thinking of it seems like a hell.The picture appears in mind as no one is talking to others.Every person is totally speechless.Since there are no words so the voice doesn't have any meaning.The voice can be used to any only because if there are no words then how can enjoyment take place ? Mostly we laugh on the talks of our surrounding people while in gathering but without words even laughing is not so easy .Think a social gathering in which no one is talking to each other.Every one wants to express their feelings but they are not able to do so they trying to convey their towards many thing by body language and signs.Imagining this scenes would be really though.
If words will not be there then how will one would judge the attitude of any people. Generally we predict any one's nature,behaviour,attitude etc by predict anyone 's nature,behaviour,attitude etc by talking with his or her but without words how come is it possible.How will we enjoy funny talking with Friends how will we enjoy funny talking with Friends how will we express our love towards our beloved ones.It will be quite difficult to express it without words for him and will not be easy for him to understand too.Imagine a situation in which a person is injured and just in any serious accident and no one is there to help,then how he will call to anyone to save his life because if words are not there then he can't talk on cellphone too, he can't type even a message because words are not there .
Without words we can not learn any thing how will be the improve our knowledge or our personality.There will not be schools colleges or any learning institution.Ther will be no difference

My city Lucknow

hi....... I utkarsh resident of Lucknow wanna share the importance and greanace of my city lucknow although i dont live in lucknow now it was great pleasure growing in lucknow As from the informaton Lucknow city is popularly known as the 'the city of Nawabs'. Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, was founded by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula. In the olden times, it served as the capital of the nawabs of Awadh and it is one of the reasons why it is also called as the city of the Nawabs. The era of the Nawabs bestowed Lucknow with the courteous culture as well as mouthwatering delicacies for which it is famous today.
Even after witnessing tremendous modernization, Lucknow has managed to retain its age-old charm and glory. The warmth, the hospitality and the formality of the city have still not been lost. The era of the nawabs also gifted Lucknow with the literature, music, dance and arts and crafts that draw tourists here. Infact, it was in the streets of the city only that Tabla and Sitar were born. Lucknow tourism brings one closer to the glorious days city, through a visit to its numerous monuments and ruins.
The city of Lucknow has a magical charm surrounding it. Be it its delicious cuisine or its heart melting culture, the city leaves an everlasting impression on its visitors. It is one of the few places where one can still find people saying 'aap', 'janab', 'pehle aap', etc. Even though flats have replaces Nawabi mansions, the city is still as charismatic as before.
Lucknow is the most populous state of India.Lucknow is also the administrative headquarters of Lucknow District and Lucknow Division. Located in what was historically known as the Awadh region, Lucknow has always been a multicultural city. Courtly manners, beautiful gardens, poetry, music, and fine cuisine patronized by the Nawabs are well known among Indians and students of South Asian culture and history. It is also known as the Golden City of the East, Shiraz-i-Hind and The Constantinople of India.
Today, Lucknow is a vibrant city that is witnessing an economic boom and is among the top ten fastest growing non-metropolitan cities of India. The unique combination of its cultured grace and newly acquired pace is its most promising feature that augurs well for the future.

MyPC

I had always been interested in computers that is why i took computer science and engineering branch in my engineering.After talking admission in the b.tech i decided to buy i computer at that time i had little knowledge about the computers so as to enhance my knowledge and enjoy with it as well. So i got a second hand Compaq computer for 10,000 actually very cheap at that time. It was a low configuration pc with celoron processor 64 mb ram and a simple cd reader but i engoyed with it a lot stored a lot of song with that 20 gb memory but after some while its conditon got bad and due to it low configuration i was not able to install new softwares

I used to regularly install different versions of windows in it. From windows 98 to windows xp. My friend used to enjoy watching me installing me. They used to call my computer “PARAM”. I was not able to play games in it nor able to store songs due to its small memory .but it did helped me a lot in increasing my knowledge of the computer. So they I decided to buy a new computer with a nice configuration. So I searched a lot about the best configuration in a nominal prize and came up with best valued configuration that comprised of Amd Athlon 3000+ processor , two 256 MB Ram in a dual channel mode 80 GB SATA harddisk nForce4 motherboard and NVIDIA Geforce 6200 graphics card

I used to live in hostel and I was about to by first AMD pc in the hostel never ever before I or any of my friends had watched amd’s performance. So I was about to take a great risk .Finally got the money from my parents and buyed it from Delhi. The rest configuration was not much important to me. So I decided about rest configuration then and there .I brought it back to my hostel all of my friend’s were waiting then and there for the new computer. I installed windows xp professional edition in it. The computer was working fine and more exactly great. Soon I installed games in it they ran with great graphics and the display was really nice I stored my English songs in it and started to enhance my collection. It was a perfect multimedia pc with songs, movies, games and videos in it. But after some time I started collecting some interesting e-books too regarding my course and other materials too.

The best part about it was that I used to play a lot of games on it like strategy, mission, racing, first person shooter, third person shooter and many more and the most I enjoyed was that I and my friend had connected our computers through a hub establishing a LAN network we used to play Unreal Tournament, Age of Empires and Counter strike: condition zero on it ultimately we had a lot of fun on it. I love my pc and I find it hard to live without it. It gave me enjoyment and knowledge

both as did some programming and made projects on it as well. love my pc and I find it hard to live without it.

Cell processor

During my engineering i gave a presentation on the topic cell processor.So i thought of sharing this information regarding this technology.This is as follows Cell is a microprocessor architecture jointly developed by a Sony, Toshiba, and IBM alliance known as STI. The architectural design and first implementation were carried out at the STI Design Center over a four-year period beginning March 2001 on a budget reported by IBM as approaching $400 million. Cell is a shorthand for Cell Broadband Engine Architecture, commonly abbreviated CBEA in full or Cell BE in part. Cell combines a general-purpose Power Architecture core of modest performance with streamlined coprocessing elements which greatly accelerate multimedia and vector processing applications, as well as many other forms of dedicated computation. The major commercial application of Cell is in Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3 game console which is slated to launch in November 17, 2006 (in the US). Mercury Computer Systems has a dual Cell server, a dual Cell blade configuration, a rugged computer and a PCI Express accelerator board available in different stages of production. Toshiba has announced plans to incorporate Cell in high definition television sets. Exotic features such as the XDR memory subsystem and coherent EIB interconnect [1] appear to position Cell for future applications in the supercomputing space to exploit the Cell processor's prowess in floating point kernels. The Cell architecture breaks ground in combining a light-weight general-purpose processor with multiple GPU-like coprocessors into a coordinated whole, a feat which involves a novel memory coherence architecture for which IBM received many patents. The architecture emphasizes efficiency/watt, prioritizes bandwidth over latency, and favors peak computational throughput over simplicity of program code. For these reasons, Cell is widely regarded as a challenging environment for software development. IBM provides a comprehensive Linux-based Cell development platform to assist developers in confronting these challenges. Software adoption remains a key issue in whether Cell ultimately delivers on its performance potentialDespite those challenges, the latest research in this field showed that Cell is capable of performing any type of precision scientific calculations 3 to 12 times faster than any desktop processor at a similar clock speed.

SonyPlaystation 3

The Sony Platstation 3 is one of the latest gaming console lauched last year.The console was first released in Japan.The PlayStation 3 is based on open and publicly available application programming interfaces. Sony has selected several technologies and arranged several sublicensing agreements to create an advanced software development kit for developers.This gaming console gave a new meaning to the word of gaming.
Regarding the configuration it comprises of following:
Sony also confirmed the PlayStation 3 will use Blu-ray discs as its media format. The discs can hold up to six times as much data as current-generation DVDs. It will also support CR-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats.
Sony also confirmed that the machine will be backward compatible all the way to the original PlayStation.
It will also have slots for Memory Stick Duo, an SD slot, and a compact flash memory slot.
Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2GHz, giving the whole system drasstik improvement of overall performance. It will sport 256MB XDR main RAM at 3.2GHz, and it will have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700MHz.
Sony also unveiled the PS3's graphics chip based on Nvidia technology. The GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution--some of the highest HD resolution around. The chip also has 512MB of graphics render memory and is capable of performing heavy operation. As for the facts it also has more than 300 million transistors, larger than any processor commercially available today. It will be manufactured using the 90nm process, with eight layers of metal. The RSX(Reality Synthesizer-the graphic processor also termed as GPU i.e graphical processing unit) is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 Ultra video cards, which would cost roughly $1,000 total if purchased today.
The main feature of the PlayStation 3 is its processor the Cell processor :The Cell Broadband Engine—or Cell as it is more commonly known—is a microprocessor designed to bridge the gap between conventional desktop processors (such as the well known Pentium/PowerPC families) and more specialised high-performance processors, such as nVIDIA and ATI graphics-processors (GPUs). The name belies its intended use, namely as a component in current and future digital distribution systems; as such it may be utilised in high-definition displays and recording equipment, as well as computer entertainment systems for the HDTV era. Additionally the processor should be well suited to digital imaging systems (medical, scientific, etc.) as well as physical simulation (e.g. scientific and structural engineering modelling). In a simple analysis the Cell processor can be split into four components: external input and output structures, the main processor called the Power Processing Element (PPE) (a two-way SMT multithreaded Power 970 architecture compliant core), eight fully-functional co-processors called the Synergystic Processing Elements or SPEs and a specialised high-bandwidth circular data bus connecting the PPE, input/output elements and the SPEs, called the Element Interconnect Bus or EIB.
Thus Sony PlayStation 3 is not just another gaming console it is the revolution of the one of the great usage of the multiprocessor from dual core to 12 core processors.

My24thBirthday


Hey, i m utkarsh and i want to share the experience of my 24th b'day experience . It was the 6th of August 2007 my b'day and eventually this was the same date for the joining of my course for my post graduation course the post graduate diploma in advance software technology the name it self denotes the difficulty of the course in one of the India's reputed institution in India.
The institution was CDAC (Center for Development of advance computing) and Formerly NCST( National Center for development of advance computing ) .On this birthday woke up in the train and the trail arrived to the Bangalore at the 11.00 a.m. i some how managed to reach to e-city by auto .There I, my father and auto person in his auto were roaming in the e-city to find the c-dac campus from post to pillar some how we managed to reached the campus and discovered that the name of the campus was not c-dac but ncst ok...!! fine i looked at the campus was nice and spacious. i registered and got the kit and found the books the books were big and fat i was from c.s. background so i found the books quit similar but Unix was new to me. but i found it good because i think that no other educational institution provide market books except from library with restricted usage. Then i went for claiming of the hostel as i was already allotted the hostel, to my big surprise i found the hostel very nice , well furnished and maintained. I was allotted room no F5 in sharing with one other person later found him to be nice person.
It was 1 'o' clock i received few papers for today timetable and i was shocked when i read that the introductory class was already over and the class of Unix is from 2 '0' clock i just sat down for 15 min to rest for a while after my two days journey then i took a quick bath and went for the class.and one thing i want to tell you that till now i haven't eaten anything from the morning on my birthday.I attained my first class of ncst found it well organised teaching from the slides but too precised. ok somehow i managed to finish my class.
It was then i came back to the room foud my father had already had lunch in the mess . and was praising it . The i went to the market took some food ate after buying some genral thing for daily usage came back to the hostel. I and my father sat for half an hour and then my father left with tears in his eyes of missing me. I also felt sad but not much i had already been away from home for four year for my engineering . I went back to the room .My room mates was not there he had alredy left for his local gaurdian was to return next day. So i sat alone in the room feeling lonely after i while i went to sleep.
That was how silent my birthday had finished.The one big days of the year gone away just like that still that day i got the greatest gift on my birthday i had ever got i chance to study in a institution like NCST.
