I am currently in Hyderabad staying with Rahul Priyedarshi. Joining at CSC was delayed but not denied. I am here from hyderabad gate (BHU) to Hyderabad 7 month after graduation. I stayed in city of nawab, Lucknow for long time and city of nizam, Hyderabad welcomes me with honor and distinction. City seems to be nice and full of joy. It seems paradise on first glimpse. First day of work was 'no work' really. Few paper works and interaction with fewer people were done. I have now become full time CSC employee. Feeling is great and working environment seems fine. Talking in crude language, domain is anti hacking and networking. PM (Project Manager) looks like a cool and chill person. 29 jan 2009 is on the verge of end with my entrance in professional world. The last man standing without job in our batch(me) will tell you work experience in coming times. Hail CSC!!!

Never let your college interfere with your education. This altered statement of Mark Twain is self-realized guideline in mine learning throughout past years. I am giving you a little disoriented but true thought of my mind on this jolly topic. My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects. There is only one Education, and it has only one goal: the freedom of the mind. I felt that more you give attention to the academics ,greater will be the intellectual property loss. Academics in India (Partialy IITs &IIMs) is like Wahhabi Islam . You have to submit to teacher with blind faith(closure of mind) and complete loss of scientific temper. Most of the teachers do not change with time and makes education boring. They ensure that more emphasis on written work than learning concepts. They bring same yellow pages of notes to dictate lectures over years. Student feel academics as:' 'The sad mechanic exercise, Like dull narcotics, numbing ...

I am enlisting the names of books read by me in 2008 with their background and my feedback. I also embed here their original language of creation and mine language of study (either Hindi /English). This is done because I believe that the thinking pattern of author is reflected much in original language of his writings. The emotional binding content between reader and book is somewhere lost in translation / transliteration. Ratings are highly personal. A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini-English -7.5/10 Slow paced and Heart wrenching story of a woman in Afghanistan. It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life -Lance Armstrong-English--8/10 Inspirational autobiography of a sports person. Lajja -Taslima Nasreen-Bangla(Read in English)--8/10 Story of Hindu family living in Bangladesh in religious riots. Midnight's Children -Salmaan Rushdie-English--8/10 Facts interwoven with Fiction. Beautiful art of story telling with post Indian sub-continent independence ...

Swades:We, the people(2004) ...aka Desam (2004) (India: Tamil title: dubbed version) ...aka Our Country (2004) (International: English title) (USA) Swades is a kind of movie which grows bit by bit after watching every time… Personally,anything good spoken about Swades is less;For me its SRK’s career best till date. I did not watch it with the help of download culture of college but walked into theater for first show. I walk out of the hall being a different person. Three hour feels like a journey for rediscovering of own roots. A masterpiece in Indian Cinema;Why? Cinema is an art. Art express truth by false symbols. It tells us about abstract ideas or ground reality through eyes of filmmaker. Film is technical artistic medium. Art provokes our thinking and emotion.The medium can be cinema, literature or painting. It brings a change in our thinking pattern and view of the world. Swades has changed the life of various NRI and they return to India for making it a better place. It p...

I have got a mail from the Nitesh ;It was a manifesto about Indian cinema and cinephiles.; Content--- Our manifesto is up on Indian Cinema, do read it chip in your support and spread the word. The more we can gather over the months will help in the cause of seeing cinema in the right direction. Original Link THE DELHI MANIFESTO Our cinema screen has become an ill-constructed, and conventional portal to a world we aspire of, rather than a mirror, which reflects us. Our emotions are guided by leitmotifs placed deftly, and religious beliefs exploited. Our spirit of inquiry has become dead and we have been reduced to mere receivers in the process. Cinema and television has replaced interaction with imposition of thought. Its thought. An artificial, fake and ill-created thought, a manifestation of our needs to escape ourselves. The medium has become a symbol of cheap entertainment, devoid of any examination of the form, and a victim of our collective need to create personalities, perfect al...

You cannot imagine what it feels to stuck into the body of Himanshu Rai. It is like burning desire to become free from the clutches of emotional attachment. To carve a niche for something, neither fame nor money. It is constant pursuit to search for true meaning of life. The abstract feeling of escapism with the relations, materialism and world. Something inside is pushing me to rebel against mundane and sensible. On seeing images, videos or natural beauty, a feel of transformation through barriers of time and space is achieved. The characters of the image get me hooked to their life through emotions. I rise and fall with their hopes, dreams and struggle. We have become vast in our information about past and future but our present has become limited somewhere during this process of discovering time. Time experience becomes relative and feeling of pulse/second arises i.e. I became time conscious. When you are trapped in a remote situation, there is loss of sense of time and place in...

Y2K +9=2009 I finally woke up on blog-land to wish my readers happy new year. All of us human suddenly go into mass hysteria about a 'much talked and less known event' (like Y2K ),then one by one recover from the impact.Same rule is applied for this new year celebration also. About previous year: What might have been abstract, the remaining is perpetual. A wonderful void in professional life.. New Year 2009 : No Resolution or Commitment for anything. It is well said that things which matter most should not be at the mercy of those things which are of least value. I am fighting with me for priority list of important things. Only an idea to start a new blog to gather interviews,speeches and thoughts of parallel India/World is in my mind. Technology can only provide time and cost saving solution but its about old habits. Even after the advent of newer technique, the implementation fails due to lack of will power. Knowledge can be generated by gathering of information both tac...

Those who are interested in reading the article series of: Wah Kanpur, Ahh Kanpur!  Please find their weblinks - 1st and 2nd . They were on the funny side of life at Kanpur, this one on the reality side... This is an edited compilation of discussions on an online forum.; " Kanpur is a microcosm of what most of India is like in a nutshell; The vast majority of people are too caught up with making with their economic and caste problems and a little time to realize the importance of basic civic sense (keeping the city clean, obeying the law, etc.). The solution to the problem, like the rest of India lies in uplifting the poorest sections of society(which also form most of the population!) through education and health careIt'sts sorry to, say but the most educated residents of city for don't pay tax or electricity bill, etc but still Kanpur belongs to one of the largest revenue generating cities of India. Shamefully amazing.... No city in India, however big, is completely f...

What's in the name? Really, if you agree, then read further from the  previous post about Kanpur ... The turning point in the history of Kanpur came when it was made one of the most important military stations of British India. It was declared a district on 24 March 1803. South of were the British infantry lines and the Parmat parade grounds. Indian infantry occupied the space from the present Chunniganj to the Christ Church College. The Company Bagh  was laid in 1847, and the construction of the Ganga canal was commenced in 1854. In 1862, the  British built a church called All Souls' Cathedral in memory of those killed in the 1857 mutiny; renamed the Kanpur Memorial Church, it still stands at what was the north-east corner of Wheeler’s entrenchment. The marble Gothic screen with the famous `mournful seraph’ was transferred to the churchyard after independence in 1947, and in its place, a bust of Tantya Topewas  installed at NanaRao Park . The British contributed...
