On Training...

In Oracle Applications Framework training, this architectural training is very similar to J2EE. But need to know the coding standards and all those usual stuff. Not that much interesting, bored with practice sessions :(
But i m interested in learning the MVC (Model View Controller) architecture in detail after this training and this is very much related to SOA architecture whereas the first is tech stack and the later one is biz functionalities stack.

When you look deep into all those hi-fi technologies the concepts are really seems big but whereas the real implemenation may be done using very simple technologies like HTML, JavaScript, CSS or just calling some functions in inbuilt java classes which are provided by SUN.

Recently you people might be hearing about AJAX, i think thats a great cutting edge technology but implemented with hidden frames in html + Javascript.
(Most of the google tools are built using AJAX and thats made me to talk abt AJAX here ;)

Moral of the story: Eventhough the source is small, the familiarity is from its usage

Alma matter (contd...)

2001-2004

Adhu oru azhagiya kana kalam, there were lot of trees in each side of the departments. Figures waiting for college buses near the department and guys are standing and kidding those figures. "Machi un aalu enaiku enna da pakkava dress panitu vandhiruka!"
"dei vennai adhu yen allu ella da, adhu madam da :D "
Still i couldnt forget those days, I was started my 2nd year with Electrical and Electronics engg and then got group changed to IT dept. So, it was 3 months i was playing with all those transformers and motors. Today I dont anything about those, but it was very easy for lateral entry guys, they simply love to do those practicals.

Then gr8 escape from EEE to IT in Oct-2001, I believe. No faces are known to me in IT department. Ellarumaye groupa irundhanga, naan mattum begabega nu muzhichaen!
That too there were two brilliant Trainee Madams are there (machi name gnabagam ella, muruga or manoj or vk mite b knowing)
People are very crazy at that time, keep answering the questions for the programs they ask. Especially EV used to write all the programs, even today I remember 1 tough program, "Area of the Square of the Circle". noone knows the formula to write it!
(hahahaaa..) To be honest, i dint know to write simple programs like Prime numbers, Fibonacci and etc in my 3rd semester, used to mugup the code and go n vomit it in exam!
Kalangal mela mella nagandhichi...
oru oru computer labbum main practicallum enaku oru oru yugum irundhichu,
upto 4th sem....
yeah i remember my 4th sem algorithm lab, the main practical lecturer was Kanmani Madam, she has given some program on Finding all the possible paths for the given two nodes on a graph! I knew all pairs shortest path algorithm (nalla kadam adichitu poiten) but i dont know other programs. i was struggling to alter the program to get the correct output. Finally she was checking my output, she selected some two nodes the output is correct and she has given some other inputs. for that also its showing the same output! total fun! gr8 escape, eppadiyoo pass ayitaen!

Jst thinking abt these programs and comp labs. i found the cause is bcoz of not practising those in the lab classes, so slowly start doing some programs in lab classes from my Fifth semester. I slowly picking up, gainin some confidence there, good preparation of internals was boosted my scores. thats it rest of the semesters went like that, but nothing innovatively i did except by choosing this department in which you dont do anything! yeah ours is easiest of all departments i believe to get a job in the current industry. i know many of my friends who struggled in other departments like eee, mech, ece, e n i....

Here's is our department front view,



Then in final year 2003-2004, our class got one mail and all started thinking about the relationship between class girls and boys!
So things slightly changed here, guys started talking to all girls. but enakku edhaiellam roomba pazhassu pa, bcoz i started this in my first year itself.
but we have some pairs jst for fun in our class and relationships started growing here, believe all the classmates i got are really unique, all are highly talented, especially good attitude.
At the end of the show, yeah in last semester our classroom place is slightly changed and its moved to Cricket ground near OAT ( we call it as Open Air Theatre)
Its really fun-loving in PEC IT 2000 class rooms!

Alma matter...

* Pondicherry Engineering College is one of the premier technological institutions in the southern part of the Indian sub-continent.

* Established in the year 1984 under the seventh five-year plan, Pondicherry Engineering College is recognized as a benchmark institution.

* National Board of Accreditation has accredited the majority of the departments of our institute.

* Highly qualified faculty members are recruited through an Open Competition system on All India Basis .

* The institute admits the students to various courses though an All India Based Entrance Examination.

These are some of the lines preached by T&P officer in all placements about our college, we used to start laughing after hearing those sentences repeatedly!

Adblock of my college
2000-2001

I am gonna tell about my life in PEC! Started the journey someday in Aug 2000, I believe. It was pleasant to sit in Function Hall (near Mech Department) and all First year students and their parents were sitting n watching all the stories by College Principal n faculties. Also they called some of us, I remember one was Ashwini and other was E.V.Ramkumar's parents was there in stage to light the Candle for inaugaration festival!
First year life is coolest of all the four years to me!



My first year class room in Civil department..
Especially went with lots of Kadalai, some funny subjects like English, Maths.
Also was carrying the drafter 2days/week and looks like a professional engineer.
we were supposed to wear the kakhi dress for two days for our Mechanical workshop there we have lot of fun like welding, fitting and carpentary (most coolest one, even still i remember my Dove Tail joint, it was total fun with lots of gaps!)
Got some good friends in my life in the first year of PEC and i m happy to say that still i m in touch with so many of them (refer orkut :)
I love Mathematics in first year and i hate engineering drawing, engg mechanics though they are very good subjects, but in those subject we need to think a lot(thats why dont like those).
Coming to the lecturers I got in my first year, awesome! Especially Pazhaniraja for Engg drawing, fun-filled guy, make everyone laugh in his slangs.
Eg: * Anandaraman, go and take the solids
(showing a pentagon n explaining a problem for hexagon)
* Assume this is a hexagon, after dont come and ask where is the six side?
* Enna edhu ellipsela evalova periya ottai, poi vetula aaani adicha maattu!
* enna edhu diwaliku vetula murruku sudalaya, paperlaa erukku?? hahaha

Coming to sports, eagerly participated in Cricket Ist years team and also in Badminton. Both the games, got silver medal! anna padipalaa naan classla atleast more than 45th rank out of 66. First year admission proc,etc..,
some of the places used to spend lot of time,
kutti severu behind civil department
college canteen (most fun-filled place in our college for all)
Open air theatre and ground near to the place
Vasanatharaja bus (while going to home, 1st year i dint get Buspass)

And lot more fun in 1st year, it was the first year in my life which is totally different from all the above years and also diff from rest 3years of college life.

Next 3years in the rest of the posts...

I was JAMmed

Usually I like to sit in audience side in any stage shows, because there we are more comfortable and also make fun of others. Its cool!
But this time I just wanted to participate and test myselves how I am JAMming, ok its not too bad. But unable to speak in a topic for long time. These are the general rules for the JAM,



General Rules

(*) Each participant would be give a topic to speak on, on which he/she needs to speak continuously for a minute, unless interrupted by other participants.

(*) Other participants may interrupt the speaker with objections like ‘grammatical mistakes’, ‘speech defects’, ‘time wasting tactics’, ‘deviation from the topic’ etc.

(*) Once the objection is made the JAM master decides whether the objection is valid or not. If valid the objection is sustained and the person who objects gets 4 bonus points and the chance to continue speaking. If not, the objection is overruled and the person loses 2 points and the first speaker continues.

(*) For every second spoken, the speaker gains one point. The JAM master might provide addition bonus points for humour and may penalize the speaker for bonus negatives for any malcontent.

(*) JAM masters decision is final and binding.

Prelims

Each participant would be given a topic for a HAM (Half a minute) in groups of 5.
Thus we would have 7 * 5 rounds of HAM from which we would select the best 5 speakers who would go thru the finals.

Finals

5 speakers, get one topic each for a JAM (Just A Minute)

Guys! what do you say, shall we JAM in our room? ;-)
