Basic Manufacturing System

((Pic I shot after cutting these two iron bars,phewww!!!!)
All the first years of Computer Science branch have a subject called “Basic Manufacturing System”. In this we have to complete four jobs. There are four sections namely Turning Section, Welding Section, Carpentry Section and Fitting Section. In the fitting section, We have to cut the metals(iron bar) from hack saw and then file it with filer and then shape it to hexagon by again using the hack saw. Then we have to drill a hole in it and then we have to cut a iron rod of 4 cm(you ‘re right, with the hack saw of course!!) and put it inside it. In the carpentry section we have to cut out the plane metal sheet made of an alloy of tin and lead called solder (from a big foil provided to us!). We have to again cut it according to the dimensions we have been provided and then shape it into a container. Then we have to solder its sides. In the welding section, we have to cut the two identical iron bars of 6 cm and then file its sides and then weld them together. In The fitting section we have to shape a round metal bar according to the given dimensions. It is not at all easy!!

(using these tools )
At first I asked myself “Can I do it?”. But now as our classes are over, I think that I really enjoyed the classes as it gave me a brand new experience. I did the work that seems to be impossible for me some months before. It also helped me realizing the potential in me. The classes are really nice and give you the feeling of working in a real workshop and the teachers are also nice who helped us in completing our jobs safely and successfully. I realized that it helped me to gain confidence. It was really nice to have those classes.

Chetan Bhagat

Chetan Bhagat is the author of three blockbuster novels, Five Point Someone (2004), One Night @ the Call Center (2005) and The 3 Mistakes of life (2008). All the three books have remained bestsellers since their release and have inspired major Bollywood films. The New York Times called Chetan the ‘the biggest selling English language novelist in India’s history.’ Seen more as a youth icon than just an author, this IIT D/ IIMA graduate is making India read like never before.

Chetan also writes op-ed columns for leading English and Hindi newspapers, focusing on youth and national development based issues. Many of the issues raised by Chetan’s columns have been discussed in Parliament and among the top leadership of the country.

Chetan quit his international investment banking career in 2009, to devote his entire time to writing and make change happen in the country. He lives in Mumbai with his wife  Anusha, an ex-classmate from IIMA and his twin boys Shyam and Ishaan.

His new novel “2 states” His book – an autobiographical tale about an inter-caste love marriage was launched by Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor. For learning more about this book release, please click here

His official website is also rocking because it is his personal blog. You can leave a comment and it will directly reach him. I left one comment there and it got published in the guestbook and I was really happy but my happiness became more when I received a e mail from him and it was really the lucky day for me when I saw my inbox had an e mail from info@chetanbhagat.com and the subject was “e mail from Chetan Bhagat”.He thanked me for the appreciation and wished me to have nice time in Ranchi!!

He is truly a nice man who take care of his fans as well. Looking forward to watch the new movie “The Three Idiots”,based on his novel “Five point someone”.

Cheers

Snapshots

Reading books is my greatest hobby because it is a wonderful source of knowledge and reading good books will definitely quench your thirst for knowledge and information if you are interested. Photography is my passion and right from childhood I used to click images of my family, home and other things. Then I did not had what we call a digital camera and so I had to control myself and I used to take snaps occasionally, because after that we had to run to the studio to get the photos printed! But now I can take as many photos as I desire Especially the camera in mobile is a wonderful feature that has really helped me taking some special and sudden moments into my album. I have a collection of photos I have downloaded from many sites that I would like to share with you and also I’ll share my own snaps clicked by me but that some other time. Right now enjoy some of my favorite snaps from my collection,

Diwali in a Hostel

Hi everybody,

It was my first Diwali that I spend far away from my family.I got up early in the morning (as usual), got freshed up, and did puja and wished my family ‘Happy Diwali’ first and then waited for the others to wake up. The morning converted into afternoon and we spent all the time wishing others Diwali wishes. I was wearing the new cloths but this time I was not happy because I was missing home a lot. Few girls went outside for roaming but there was strict instruction from home for me to stay away from crackers and all those stuffs and stay in my room only!! I was decorating the idols of God and Guruji’s photos with the garland I brought from home and then me and my roommates were busy in the net for long. It was really impossible for us to study anything because the Mid Semester completed the very previous day. Then after having lunch,we talked about different issues and then took rest. In the evening, we got up and again after being fresh, we were ready to celebrate Diwali with each other. Calls were coming from our homes and we were really missing our home very much, which could be easily pointed out by looking at our gloomy faces. But then we started cleaning the room and then we made rangoli with colourful chalks in front of our door. We wore Salwars and did Laxmi Ganesh pooja, we sang Ganesha Aarti in unison,putting our odhni above our head to cover it during puja and then lit candles on each table before God’s idols. After that we offered Prasad to God and then went outside (within the hostel campus). Every body was having fun and there were usual sounds of anars, bombs and other crackers. Our Hostel warden came and she wished Diwali to us and I went to her and touched her feet and took her blessings,she kissed my forehead and then I felt as if this hostel is like my second home!!.It was altogether a nice Diwali,I will take it as one of the new experience of my life

Happy Diwali :)

Happy Diwali to all of you!! This is one of the festival I love and celebrate with enthusiasm. But this time I am having my Diwali at my hostel. I am thinking about my family back home and the preparation for Diwali and also the sweets I used to select Ganesha Laxmi idols every year. Life is nice here as it is a new experience for me to be with the unknown faces and adjusting with them. But as I have developed friendship with many of them and having nice time but then also home is home and missing my home very much at this moment. Anyways Happy Diwali,enjoy yourself and yes please have a safe and eco friendly Diwali. Don’t burn crackers and create pollution, instead just light beautiful Diyas and candles,decorate home with flowers and rangoli and enjoy this event. Cheers

Durga Pooja Vacations

Hi,

I am back home at DP Vacations and finding my home really very comfortable after staying in  the hostel for the first time in my life. Now I know why people say this line “Home Sweet Home”. Well we had a rocking Fresher’s party at the college and we the freshers of CSE branch got a gift from our seniors- A Coffee Mug!! I kept it unpacked and opened here at home. Its a nice one and really happy to have it.

Lots of things to say but right now just looking forward to enjoy the vacations with family. I bought all the three novels by Chetan Bhagat in the station and now time to read all these three!! But yes not to forget about the Mid Semester going to take place after the DP Vacations and ofcourse all the assignments given to us. You know when I went to the hostel I had only two bhajans in my mobile along with the Limca song, and now I have a good collection of music (a big benefit of living in a hostel   ).And also not to forget about the snaps we took here and there at juice point, in the hostel room etc.

Today I am going to take rest and also will decide the routine and set the time table for my studies and assignments!! Lots of thing to write but this much for the day,take care,bye

Cheers

Limca Fresh Ho Jao Advertisement

This is my favourite adverisement!! 

Trivia: The composer for this commercial’s track is R. Anandh and it has been sung by Cara Lisa Monteiro of Phir Dekhiye fame.

Let me share the lyrics with you,

Fuhaarein, bochharein, nazaaare chura lo na,
kuch boondein chura lo na;
Thaki si zindagi se, ruki si zindagi se,
kuch lamhe chura lo na…;

Kuch yaddein, aur sapne, apne chura lo na;
ooo Ruki si zindagi se, thaki si zindagi se,
raftaarein chura lo na…

lukka chupi khelti hai,
bheed mein hazaaron kaliyaan (hazaaron kaliyaan);
mmmm galiyon mein yun bheed banke,
chup gayi hain saari khushiyaan (saari….saari khushiyaan);
Khushiyon ko bula lo na,
muskaane churalo naaaa…
sulagti pyaas hai toh,
machalti pyaas hai toh;
ek limca churalo na.

Kuch yaddein, aur sapne, apne chura lo na;
Ruki si zindagi se, thaki si zindagi se,
raftaarein chura lo na…

wow!! I just love it

cheers
