Pal Sez . . .

Exactly 2 years before, this was the conversation between 2 Students of the Computer Science Department, let us call them Student-1 and Student-2 (or simply s1 and s2),

S1: Do you know Yesterday, Some of our seniors were placed at Infy, but I dont know the exact number

S2: Is it ?

S1: I dont know the exact number, but One senior from my bus named Jackson was also selected

S2: What did he say ?

S1: He said, During his interview, he was asked Why was he named Jackson

S2: What did he say for that ?

S1: He answered that His parents liked Pop Singer Jackson very much and that is why they have named him Jackson

S2: I do think this is a stupid question

S1: You will get all sorts of questions (like this) in your interview

S2: The only way to punish such companies is to get selected in their Selection process and reject their Job

On hearing this, Both laughed. And today, after 2 years, they still laugh !

Undoubtedly S1 was ravi and S2 was me.

Many students come to Engineering colleges with great ambitions. But only a very few live with that. Your ambitions should not be compensated for any reasons. I dont think there is any flaw in our education system.  Here is the proof for that.

I am happy that Indian kids are posing a great threat to “World Dada” !

The latest comment I received for my previous post is “Update de Damn blog dude-Hariharan”

Believe me I am still alive.

Many guys asked me why I was writing GATE for the second time, I replied them that I wanted to improve my scores, (As I only know that the previous scores were definetly not enough to get a disciplined course in any IIT). As Joel rightly said last year, there was 764 guys before me and I wanted to reduce that number.

I have made atleast 50 students to write GATE this year.

I was expecting around 5-6 students from my college to clear this year but only a couple did. My best wishes to both of them (Thileepan and Nirmal).

Though I planned to teach my friends for GATE (atleast) at the last moment, the hyderabad Interview was unexpected and because of that I wasn’t able to do what I wanted.

And for those of you who wanted to know what My improvement, here it is:

My percent has gone up by 3 %, My All India Rank has improved by 125 ranks, and finally my GATE score has improved by 175 points. ( I am Intentionally not telling my absolute marks ! )

I am getting more and more exposed with GATE, and I am gradually getting more confidence in this exam.

I still believe that I can make anyone clear GATE exam.

My predictions are going in the right directions. An interesting news about GATE,

GATE CS 2007 saw around 19K aspirants,

GATE CS 2008 saw around 21K aspirants,

Well this time GATE CS 2009 saw atleast 42K aspirants. I never know Recession would make this great impact on GATE. I am unable to predict cutoffs because of this great increase in number of aspirants.

Whatever be the case, Arjun Singh, Sonia Gandhi, and the whole of the UPA government is going to play some part of my game.

I dont know whether I have crossed the “Well” or not. I repeat:

க‌ட‌ல‌ள‌வு கிடைத்தாலும் ம‌ய‌ங்க‌ மாட்டேன், அது கைய‌ள‌வே ஆனாலும் க‌ல‌ங்க‌ மாட்டேன் !

It is Nothing unique if I simply say the Seventh Semester Exams are over. But the exams are over only for me and Ravi, and not for others. And this is something unique.

Lots of things to be done in this holidays. I should teach Ravi on How to catch a fish ( I and he only knows what a fish here is ! )

And one silly wish of mine is fulfilled. Though me sathish and ravi have never written any exam ( may it be monthly, model, practical or semester ), today that 3.5 year long wish was fulfilled. We three wrote the exam in our class itself.

And last but not the least thing, I have changed my Profile name in orkut to “Battles not yet over ! ! !”

Actually speaking I am more than 50 now.

No No, not in age but in domain count.

May be I should I have become more stronger than before. In English “A tiger which is hurt” refers to weakness, but whereas in tamil “அடி ப‌ட்ட‌ புலி” refers to Strength. No doubt I am a “த‌மிழ‌ன்”

For those who require a concrete proof here is it and one more here.

I should be thanking all the ones who have made me come to this stage. I never fell prey for some cheap bucks paid through Reviews.

For the first time I have seen a 3 digit Paypal figure last year. But now a 4 digit Paypal figure Seems to be nothing for me. And everyone should be keen to know my 50th domain. It’s

www.Joker.Cc

This has a lot of potential. It could have a TradeMark Dispute with other companies who have Registered their TradeMark for the name “Joker”.  As you all know, I always like :

• Disputes
• Fights
• Being Betrayed ( I love being betrayed )
• Cheating
• Pain ( Pain is always my secret of Success )

This domain has a lot of Potential, and everyone should be aware of this by now. I have got a lot of confidence and Security after I was being “Hammered”. Thanks to all those who have helped me to come to this level. Especially I want to thank my international friends, they are Yohene, a boy from Jakarta and Le Thanh Ai, a girl from Vietnam.

I am not sure, if I could have come to this level If I was not “Shammered”.

1 is nothing before 50+

I might have lost 300+ Bucks but I have gained the knowledge of Demarcating between What is Good and Bad, and Where the true Friendship lies.

It reminds me of a song in KamalHasan’s Aalavandhaan film:

ஆப்ரிக்கா காட்டு புலி ஆள் தின்னும் வேட்டை புலி
முன் ஜென்ம‌ம் மோப்ப‌ம் தேடி அலையுதே !

…….
அப்போது இறையாகும் மானாய் வ‌ந்தேன் !
இப்போது இறைதேடும் புலியாய் வ‌ந்தேன் !

நீ ஆகாய‌ம் சென்றாலும் ப‌ழி வாங்குவேன் !
உன் இர‌த்த‌த்தை கொண்டு செவ்வான‌ம் செய்வேன்
My domain counts are as follows:

.cc - 25 ( My favourite Extension )

.com - 14

.org - 7

.net - 4

.info - 4

.biz -  3

.name - 2

.tv - 1

and still counting.

I never add any restriction on myself at any time. I hope my count will touch the 100 mark very soon. As I promised Hariharan, I will get him one RS 1 year account, as a treat for buying Joker.Cc

With Pain,

Joker

“Prem Ananda Swamigal”-Whispered Rose mam in my ears.

That was when the whole class was playing Grand Master in System Software hour with Rose Mam as referee. That was the day when I came to know that he was badly struck in his hand and he always used to cover that with Full Hand Shirts or T-Shirts. Severely injured guy !

With his permission I am writing this post !

Coming back to the gift matter, He actually tipped me a 25 Paise coin. It was me who is making this a big issue. I strongly believe that huge things have very simple Background. I consider this 25 paise as the “Appreciation” for my thought and act.

Currently my thought is just worth 25 paise.

Let us see if that becomes larger in upcoming days !

Wait and Watch !

This should seem like an exact translation of “Batsha’s Dialogue”. Ok lets come back to the Title,

My name is Gopal, I have another name too, and That’s Raja.

If you come near my residence and ask where gopal resides, many may find that difficult to tell. But when you ask Where Raja is, anyone taller than 1 feet, will (should) guide you to my home. I like both my names very much (Gopalakrishnan named by my Mom, Raja named by my Brother). But this post is completely dedicated to the one, who named me “Raja”, my Brother, Vishnuram.

He is elder than me Only in Age. There cant be two children in any house without fighting, and my home was is no way exception for that. Whatever be the situation we never bother and concentrate only on Fighting. Now my Brother had departed to UK for his PG.

My brother is calm, quiet and somewhat reserved. Though he is 4 years elder to me, I have never showed him that difference, neither did he. We both are much similar in many things, except in our characters.  He has always silenced critics on him. Both of us has touched both ends of our life. There had been times, when He was badly defeated, and there had been times when he was rocking the Whole CEG.

It really makes my eyes moist, when I think on how I could spend this one year without my Brother. I still feel the pain of this Sudden Loneliness. Both my parents and me had cried at the Airport. Here goes my message for him:

“The one who dares to Fail Greatly, Will Achieve Greatly”

Go and Prove that you are my Brother !

Take care, my dear Brother !

I was enthusiastically waiting for the Newsletter. Anything gets hyped to a higher level when it is released late. I think the SIM team had heard this. They gave us the newsletter only after the Second Break.

Just now saw the post in Avenger’s Blog and thought I should post something on that.

Sorry guys, I am not satisfied with your “Error-Free” work. I think I should be the first and the only person to publicly declare like this because I dont know to hide things. I want you people to reply to this.

Errors and Lamp Holding

Dont say that you made an Error. Error is something which is done un-intentionally. And everyone is prone to do some Errors like that. But I am here to say that you people have done something more than just “Erroring”

First try to know the difference between an Error and “Lamp holding”. Let me tell everyone one thing: In my article, I have intentionally kept some statements(Actually 3) like this:

“The important thing which our teachers fail to notice is that…” and some Statements which are against our Teachers.

The thing which made me annoy was that none of that 3 statements were published. I think those statements were removed Intentionally. You people should really feel bad for this. I dont know why you people still hold “Lamps” to teachers like this. I believe this cant be said as “Error”.

Violence is better than cowardice, because a coward cant defend his stand nor himself

-Gandhiji

I never found anything other than TAGS, TWIGS and SIM. Great way to advertise your stuffs. Even I asked for one, but you forgot that.

The first thing I was asked from Joel was “How many times your name appeared on the Newsletter ?”, Rather than concentrating on How many times your name appears on Newsletter, you should have concentrated on giving some more quality.

A company gets started only when it is “Registered”. You can state that as a Company (and give name) only when it is registered. If that were a company then I have a Dozen of Companies along with Sat and SambaSu. I am pretty sure that “Our Company” had earned more than that “Company”.  Publishing such news exposes your Immaturity and childish behaviour. These things may look nice for you, but will look childish for business people like Me, Sat, SambaSu and many others. (For your additional Information:Our college ECE guys have a company which is a registered one).

“What Students expect from Teachers” could have been renamed by “What SIM expects from Teachers”

The ultimate thing which made me arouse is when you failed to publish Lakshmikant’s Article. This really made me dejected (and so for him). I always expect and help those, who are in the “Downtrodden level”, to rise up (Even I am one like that). Please dont tell me that you lacked space. You people would have published that if someone else had written that article. I am sure that he (Lakshmikant) has got some great knowledge on Hardware and related stuffs. This Newsletter should be unlucky to miss his article (and also from many others).

Infosys need not be given that much importance. Its one of the several companies that we Attempt (or gonna attempt).

You might have thought that the readers would think in a “SIM” way, which many of us cannot (and wont). I think that is where you (might have) went wrong. Kindly, remove that (mis)conception (atleast now).

Article on Mother Terasa was Excellent. Hats off to her. Last page Be Indian and Buy Indian was also nice. And a poem was also nice.

I dont know to hide things. All these are written by me. I am not posting on What others commented on your Newsletter.

Nobody can be perfect. And at the same time Nobody could be Error-Free.

Who said you made Errors ? (Idiotic Numbs !) I dont think you did any Errors (because things done Intentionally wont come under Errors right ?)

Hope to see TAGS, TWIGS and SIM at National Level. All the Best !

Try to be Matured in your Next Issue (Atleast !) and come out of your SIM’ful thoughts.

“A lot of hard work, wasted on for a few worthless people . . . “

Never expected such a comment from the Editorial Team. Sorry for being Worthless ( ? ? ?). In no-time you will get to know the “Worth of the Worthless People”

With the grand success in release of his previous versions (1.0.1 and 2.0.1) Pal felt really happy in releasing his third version today. Never mind the other two, but this was done intentionally.

This time everything was pre-planned, and even the Victim was aware that this version was completely for him. Thanks to all the techniques I learnt for “Self-survival”. I am gradually becoming a Qomputer Science Engineer. Everyone in my class is scared of me. Here is my message for that private Group:

“When something has to be public, it has to be. I wouldn’t have interfered if that was a private meeting (even I know you people are going for one). That mail was sent to you with the intention of forwarding to everyone. It should be informed to all others. It is not a crime if you fail to inform everyone. But it is certainly a big crime (atleast in Pal’s Dictionary) if you inform only ’some’. Even if it is a simple C program Hari used to inform everyone. And That’s why he is “Hariharan”, and you are simple *********. This clearly shows that you cant be Hariharan by any chance.”

I repeat “When something has to be public, It has to be public. It cant go Private at any cost”

In seeking the Good of others We find our Own

-Plato, Gandhi, Jesus, Budha, Vivekananda and add me to that list !

I used to thank everyone who stand against me. I never thanked Google for giving me (my blog) PR-3. But now I am thanking google for dropping my Page rank to Page rank-0.

It wakes me up. I am still growing stronger and feeling alive. Only when you feel the pain, you will realize that you are alive. I was given PR-3 for no reason. And my PR dropped for no reason. Now I will investigate this matter, and get to know many more things.

Anyhow Google is making me learn many new things and become a successful Webmaster.

I am sure that I would become “the Most successful Webmaster” in No time.

You wont understand anything if you were not present in my class on Friday(1-8-08) during the 5th Hour.

One new staff came to my class and she was giving us tips on how to crack an interview. I tell you she is in her last days. She should be counting her days. Actually it was 12:50 and the bell has just gone. I stood up and about to go for lunch(I was in a hurry because it was already 50 minutes late for me). As I was sitting at last I couldn’t come out and find my way, because the guys sitting next to me never moved. I was the only person standing and she saw me. I had no other choice other than sitting. She came near me and she scolded me like this. These things are usual earlier but it is becoming a great joke nowadays. Here it goes:

“Why did you stand in the middle of the class. I never expected this from you. I am very much unhappy with your behaviour. Behaviour is the important thing for a final year student. Do you know Why only some are getting selected and others are not selected ?”

“I dont know mam !”

“It is only because of their behaviour. If you behave like this-You will never get selected in any company !”

After a relatively long pause, I said

“I am placed already mam !”

Nowords from her ! The whole class were giggling after this. Now comes the conclusion.

I dont know why these people link completely different things.

What is the link between Studying, behaving and getting a job ?

Do you find anything common between these things ?
