They say, if you don't have any aim in your life , you tend to become lazy.
So I have decided to put down my targets(immediate targets)....
1 Getting a placement in google
2 Preparing a virtual stock market for tathva 08
3 Clearing CAT 2011
4 Starting my own firm in 2025..
I have my reasons here....
1 Google is the best company to work for as ranked by many magazines. Also the name is widely recognized. So I wont have to explain much when somebody asks.
2Stock markets have started to amaze me from the time immemorial(at least from the time I started to read news papers) Also I wish to learn some serious pgming. Both together, A virtual stock market is the answer.
3 This something that I am not really sure of.So comments later.
4 Well this my ultimate aim.I am not kidding.The reason My principle" Doing own "kappalandikachhavadazm" getting a 1C salary under someone.
Well that's it
Thank You
PS: Please write some comments. If u Don,'t have any comments Write asdfg.... as comment . I want to make sure that at leat somebody is reading my blog...I really beg you...

The man who turned Chrysler
Pooja days are over...back to college..
This time too I entered the train and took a side seat.It's more than 10 times that I 've been returning through the train...A not so crowded shornur passenger...But not a single time did some beautiful girl sit within my eye sight...Isint it really pity?Hey bagavan theri maaya...
Sad to note that nothing productive did happen during the period...it always used to be like that....
I plan for twenty hours and end up doing not more than twenty minutes....Have to change a lot....
I've started reading Lee Iacoca's autobiography. Brilliantly written that I couldn't help reading it
in the previous period.Thought to continue it this hour too. But sadly teacher didn't turned up.
So ran straight into SL lab, and writing this post.Next hour is PD. Can't afford to play any prank over there.The teacher is so demanding...Very few teachers are like this...They not only take class, but ensures that you listens...

my career thoughts...
Wrote lot about careers and is going to take classes on career opportunities. The interesting part is that its time for me to decide abt my own career. Well the options are a lot.
Get a placement and do an MBA after two or three years.
Go for M-tech and end up teaching, doing research etc.
And it is time to start the preparations. Well if the option is the first one, then I will have to invest in programming and in improving my English. Also a bit of corrections in the personality is required. And certainly I love programming but management I don’t know whether I will fit into. I love switching over to finance or perhaps finance plus programming. May be an MBA in finance will suffice.
And for the other option, I can bear with two more years of routine book learning. The brand NIT will surely fetch me a pedagogical job somewhere and I love teaching, but certainly the research part I don’t like.
Well these are the conventional options. But what I truly dream is to have a start up of my own, to become my own boss. Certainly the challenges are a lot. I will have to invest thoroughly in personality grooming, to change myself from an introspective guy to a high energy extrovert. Somewhere in my life, I hope to fulfill this dream. Praying for Guruvayoorappan’s blessings …It’s signing off,

Career education .....
As I had posted earlier, we plan to take class on career opportunities in the local schools. The reason why we selected such a topic is something that would constitute this post.
I am a person of the opinion that each and every job has its own respect. So what is the point in going to schools and asking them or motivating them to be engineers or doctors or other high funda professionals, as, a country also need farmers, fishermen and all the like. Well here are my staggered thoughts on the subject.
Inequality in the society is something that is incurable. In the 60’s, 70’s, or in the early 80’s, the options where very few, that everyone, whether economically poor or good, went to the same Govt. schools. Scholarships were quite handy at that time that deserving meritorious students could even spare something for their family. Most of them from the backward classes (economically or ethnically) got somewhat the same opportunities at least in terms of primary and high school education.
But today the education sector is witnessing stark inequalities. It is impossible to compare the best school in a city with that of the worst. Education is supposed to be a man making process. But no molding is taking place in schools. Everyone tends to become the product of their own circumstances. Is this what is expected of education? The answer is exactly no. They should be guided to become the product of their own choices. For that there should be enough motivation from the schools that each and every one will be daring to dream high. The top priority should be for motivation and inspiration. And I suppose everything else will follow automatically.
There is a huge difference in the exposure that a student from a good family gets and the one from a not so well off family. This exposure will compensate to an extent for the lack of motivation in the former. And the result is that, majority of those from the local schools will stop studying after 10 or plus two. The attrition rate is an alarming 93% in India.
Perhaps the luckier ones among them may end up doing a degree course with no purpose. I am not under valuing the degree courses. But what I think is that, only those with real interest in the subject should go for such courses and they may take up research and pedagogical jobs in their future. Other than that there is no point in doing a degree for the sake of doing it. One should investigate for the hidden talents and should select a course that would polish these inborn qualities. Or at least he or she should select a course that would fetch him a job. Instead what is happening is that much of the youthful energy during the period is wasted in Pancharayadi, vayanottam and watching each and every chavaru filim that turns up in the theatres. And when it comes to job taking, they become completely at loss. Having betrayed by the education process, in a desperate move to fetch a job they spend enormous amount in computer education and the like,
only to realize that they are cheated once again. This is the main problem we target at.
Other issue is perhaps the craze for engineering. Many are entering into this field without any taste. There are several well paid jobs in other fields like that of commerce and arts. But sad to say, that we don’t have not a single college in Kerala that will fulfill the minimum standards. And naturally we will have to go out and should try for the best ones. But what are their cut off’s? It is 95+ for the best colleges. Had it is known to the local students, I suppose there would have been at least a few, who would have given a try. (And I might have not seen the steps of NITC, would have been happy to be in SRCC or St Xaviers).
We know that all these not simple problems that could be solved overnight. But as it goes “Annankunginum Thannalaayathu’.. Now have to prepare for it. Hardly two days are left. I’ve got a career education directory and two or three INDIA TODAY’s copies which contain their annual rankings of colleges. Way back I was the story teller of my class in my LP . But after that I have always remained pretty silent. Now it is time to open my mouth. A bit of fear and excitement, to sum it up.

T2 over
Every time I finish my series of exams, I run to the nearest computer centre , to put down the ecstasy of having completed the exams. Perhaps right from the childhood this was one moment when I feel something inexpressible., a sense 0f independence or something like that,
which suddenly overshoots in you at the moment you hand over the answer paper of the last examination to the invigilator. May be because of this, that I came out early from the examination hall today. Not many had left the hall by the time I decided to put a full stop.
Simply I couldn't wait anymore and the 2 or 3 marks that I may lose as a result ,appears to me so insignificant at that time , though I may regret on getting the answer sheet back.
Any way that brings an end to the T2(test 20)....Now into the most valuable days of the year..The pooja days... rightly hailed as the independence day of the students academic calendar...
I am going home today itself. My roommates had already left and I was alone last night..
my pooja plan?
Well, have to prepare for a seminar on career guidance which we r planning to do as a part of our value education project. We plan to visit some schools in the locality and share with them our experiences...I am pretty excited abt this as this is something that I was eagerly waiting for...

I am back
It's 10.45 pm now and I am sitting in front of the computer to do the Program design assignment that I have to submit tomorrow.But not in a mood to Program , so planned to write the blog.
Our software lab(one with 60+ new dell systems and round the clock high speed internet ) had been closed for sometime . Somebody had stolen a mouse from it ..and the result..it was decided to close the lab until the mouse is obtained back...I think everything is fine now.So you can expect some frequent posts from now onwards although my T2 is starting next week.
Tathva is over it saw a 250+ outside participation.A great improvement compared to last years 60 or so.
I was in the registration and hospitality committee and had expected to some beautiful gals from outside but nothing happened according to my wish ....((certainly not sad as Ragam is on the way..))
Just now I read the blog of somebody from GEC thrissur compsci...they certainly rock and it makes me highly envious..I don't find such an atmosphere here..Don't know whether its my fault or not?(may be a mixture of two)...or may be the students here are from diverse background perhaps , as diverse as you
can never see such a variety in any in other part of the world..
Got bored by typing
