I got this forward in my mail ..... hope u havent read it somewhere ;)Newton 's Method:

Let, the lion catch you.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.. Implies you caught lion.



Einstein Method:

Run in the direction opposite to that of the lion.

Due to higher relative velocity, the lion will also run faster and will get tired soon. Now you can trap it easily.



Software Engineer Method:

Catch a cat and claim that your testing has proven that its a Lion.If anyone comes back with issues tell that you will upgrade it to Lion.



Indian Police Method:

Catch any animal and interrogate it & torture it to accept that its a lion .



Rajnikanth Method :

Keep warning the lion that u may come and attack anytime. The lion will live in fear and die soon in fear itself.

Acres of Diamonds

One of the most interesting Americans who lived in the 19th century was a man by the name of Russell Herman Conwell. He was born in 1843 and lived until 1925. He was a lawyer for about fifteen years until he became a clergyman.

One day, a young man went to him and told him he wanted a college education but couldn't swing it financially. Dr. Conwell decided, at that moment, what his aim in life was, besides being a man of cloth - that is. He decided to build a university for unfortunate, but deserving, students. He did have a challenge, however. He would need a few million dollars to build the university. For Dr. Conwell, and anyone with real purpose in life, nothing could stand in the way of his goal.

Several years before this incident, Dr. Conwell was tremendously intrigued by a true story - with its ageless moral. The story was about a farmer who lived in Africa and through a visitor became tremendously excited about looking for diamonds. Diamonds were already discovered in abundance on the African continent and this farmer got so excited about the idea of millions of dollars worth of diamonds that he sold his farm to head out to the diamond line. He wandered all over the continent, as the years slipped by, constantly searching for diamonds, wealth, which he never found. Eventually he went completely broke and threw himself into a river and drowned.

Meanwhile, the new owner of his farm picked up an unusual looking rock about the size of a country egg and put it on his mantle as a sort of curiosity. A visitor stopped by and in viewing the rock practically went into terminal convulsions. He told the new owner of the farm that the funny looking rock on his mantle was about the biggest diamond that had ever been found. The new owner of the farm said, "Heck, the whole farm is covered with them" -
and sure enough it was.

The farm turned out to be the Kimberly Diamond Mine...the richest the world has ever known. The original farmer was literally standing on "Acres of Diamonds" until he sold his farm.

Dr. Conwell learned from the story of the farmer and continued to teach it's moral. Each of us is right in the middle of our own "Acre of Diamonds", if only we would realize it and develop the ground we are standing on before charging off in search of greener pastures. Dr. Conwell told this story many times and attracted enormous audiences. He told the story long enough to have raised the money to start the college for underprivileged deserving students. In fact, he raised nearly six million dollars and the university he founded, Temple University in Philadelphia, has at least ten degree-granting colleges and six other schools.

When Doctor Russell H. Conwell talked about each of us being right on our own "Acre of Diamonds", he meant it. This story does not get old...it will be true forever...

Opportunity does not just come along - it is there all the time - we just have to see it.

Praharsh!!

Guys from Hema Park .... have started a new festival for a span of 5 days from 25th Dec to 31st Dec. Most Anticipating thing this year by all the people in our complex. Several Events are being hosted and we are sure that everyone is gonna have a fun filled New Year ahead of them. Here is the banner that we have designed, quite attractive i should say .....

Advanced Microprocessor Paper on 15th December 2007, Mumbai University Engineering Course

Hey guys, its really been a long time since i have posted anything, I have loads of stuff to voice my opinion on, just didnt get the time and motivation (the most important thing), since my exams are going on. Not that I am busy studying for it, but I sure would love to pretend that way, makes me feel better placed while writing them papers.
First of all, I think Mumbai University wants us Engineering Students to get lazy, which is very much evident from the number of holidays (read: timepass days) given between the exams. If you are wondering, its like 10 days between each paper. I just gave one paper on 5th December and the next paper i have is on 15th December!!!

I agree its a gift, since i can score better marks with the holidays, wherein i can study better and all that crap, but people who have gone through their Engineering Course would very much agree with me that, no matter how many days are given for us to study, we are bound to get only 40 marks (there are pretty much many exceptional cases for this rule though, as it is for many cases in this world). Its actually, our habit, or should I say, our "Kartavya" to just get that magical figure in our papers. Here is something to think about. In the entire portion of "Advanced Microprocessor" a Subject that we have (which is the next exam on 15th, matter of fact), we have 5 chapters. The first two Chapters are all about the Pentium Architecture, the third one is about the Alpha AXP Architecture (another RISC processor), the fourth one is about SPARC Architecture, whereas the last one is about the various type of buses that are used in our PC, like the PCI, IDE, etc.

The first 4 chapters are so vast, i mean sooo vast that we dont know where to start from, and where to end, not to mention the stuff in the middle. You would tell me, u have so many holidays, then what the bloody hell are you whining about?? What I am telling you, boss, we are humans too, how do you expect us to remember soo many facts and figures and those block diagrams. And i just dont mean those simple facts like, processor speed, processor bitsize, etc, we are supposed to even know the Instruction Sets of all the 3 processors, which is a real Pain!!

Same is the case with pretty much all the subjects that we have, all of them have such huge scope of study, that its not possible for average people like me to mug it all up. I have an advice to the Mumbai University, esp. those who manage engineering stuff, Please Sir, introduce practical based studies for Engineering, just plain theory is, I feel pretty useless. Since we just mug it up, vomit it out in the exams, and later forget it like it was some kind of ex-girlfriend (Oops! wrong example, the latter part is pretty hard to forget about, lol!!).
