A confession of a Btech student... the things I forgot to follow

Really I wasted lot off time in Btech life. When I joined in the Electronics & comm department , I thought I would get everything from teachers itself. But in Btech 90% of things, a student need to study by himself... that is fact. It is possible... easily possible. But you should follow whatever principles you followed in the schooling time. Wake up early at least 6 am. Give half an hour to every subject in every day. .... every body will have one time table in school time.One thing that is different in college, teachers will not take portions everyday . So we have to study ourself to cover that day portions. Main problem for students failing to follow these principles in Btech ( from my experience and problems me faced) are .....
Following some superheros..... Those are coming in car to college or showing that they have some money or having 3 or 4 girl friends to talk...haha. Don't follow them. They are only showing their father's money or what they got before coming to college. Believe that you are the superhero. Show your hard work and abilities in studies and helping others. You can show things that you learned after coming to college. For that you must try to clear your weaknesses..... struggle for that.
Wasting time . ... In my college life, I stayed in hostel. In that days , I didn't get interest to study, because no portions of subject were moving. ... Nothing to study. The subject that taking in classes were not interesting. But one thing I can tell, if you try to study subject daily , you can create interest in those subjects easily and you can follow teacher's classes also. But Btech study culture is, only studying in exam holidays. I will tell, you can pass exams with that study, but it will not give satisfaction in study. Don't follow that culture , follow the study culture you got from your schooling. My mother is a teacher, so I know how strictly I followed sch ool time table and my own time table , including weekly revision of subjects.( i really confessing. ) . I forgot to tell how I wasted my time in Btech life. Actually i didn't get my own private time. Always some friends wil be there.( these are not their problem only , I also included in disturbing others ) .. playing cards , going for movies, talking about waste things...... etc. These things are needed, I know . But no limitations was there in my Btech life. “ Better you take single room or come from home to college . You should get your own 5 hours time daily“ this is my first advice to Btech students.

Make use of everything in your college... attend your teacher's class.. I least go and attend the classes. If you are following the daily portions then that classes will be helpful. Attend seminars , technical talks of every subject ,including other department. “Don't think I am a electronics student so why should I attend a computer science or mechanical subject talk”. Attend... attend. No need to understand everything . Make use of your library. Read books.... Don't read for exam. Study to get some extra knowledge. This was the No:1 mistake I did in my Btech. I didn't take even a single book from my main library.... I am really regretting because of that. But I usually go and take magazines from my department library . There are really good books and magazines that you can not subscribe or buy. My favorites are 'linux for you', 'PC Quest', 'electronics for you'. Go and participate every technical programs in every college.

The things that you must follow other than you followed in school are you must make a habit of browsing Internet 1 hour daily . Relate the subject you studied and the information you got from Internet . Try to acquire knowledge,technology,computer programming language from Internet. This is not for CS ,ECE but for every Btech student, Every day you should try for some new thing from Internet. At the same time you should not go back in your college subjects.

Every week or month you should try a project with the information you get from college, internet, magazines, books. In electronics there are lot off magazines and projects avaliable . Try to do those things monthly as group( with your friends) or individual.

Try to read English news papers daily and discuss daily news. That will improve your English as well as communication skill.(second mistake I did)

Blog - giving me some interest in web design

Actually I had no idea about what is html and css. But after starting this blog and blog reading , i understood that lot off people are interested in blogging and they are also keen in decorating their blogs. With in 2 months I studied lot of html and css stuff that we can insert into our blog. More than that blogging taught me how to increase traffic to my blog and how to increase my blog page rank.Because I need more people to read my blog( dialy i search for some new idea to get one more viewer to my blog)and click my advertisement. Adsense money - www.google.com/adsense - is my one of the motivating thing for blogging.Actually this motivation gives me more interest in internet world. I even scrapped my blog address in orkut and my communities... ha ha. With in these days I got some good response as well as more bad response from my friends. But one thing I understood is more people from outside kerala are intersted in doing these kind of internet activities. You should update your blog daily base or weekly base and give some good information to your readers then only they will come again.This is not at all time wasting or money loosing. But it is improving my self study power, English and knowledge.

IIT Madras .... My dream place

Thank you God. ... Last Sunday , I got a chance to visit IIT Madras. In my plus two class time,IIT Madras was a favorite subject in my dream. (now also).... But I didn't get. ... In chennai IIT Madras is standing as a separate place when we compare with other places in chennai. The campus climate is that much good for studying. You will not feel you are entering into a college , but it is like a forest... full of trees and greenish. That much silence is needed for a student who comes to IIT. ... amazing. But you can see cricket ground and other out door game's ground. Actually I didn't get time to see full IIT-M. Next amazing thing I had seen in IIT-M , is a hundreds of cycles parked in front of the library. Students are utilizing maximum of IIT library. I had seen ,every body is going with some thought in their mind .. It was not a normal walk. they are going like they have to do some work.... Entirely different from my college . Hostels are named as Indian river's name. ...... And I found one “CENTRAL JAIL “ board.... I dont know what is that ..I think , it may be the main hostel....ha.ha. We ( me and hostel mate ) had a coffee from the restaurant inside IIT-M.

... It was a good Sunday for me and my friend.

7. There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey! Where am I?" To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 180 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out. The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."

SPAM TURNS 30-YR-OLD

see the deccan chronicle news .....
Spam, the scourge of the Internet, is celebrating its 30th birthday. According to tech historians, the first spam message was sent by a marketing executive of a computer firm on May 1978 to users of Arpanet, an earlier form of the Internet. The spam was relatively innocent and welcomed the users to the showroom to see the firm’s new range of computers. Though spam is over 30 years old, it was given its name only 15 years ago by Joel Furr, an administrator of Usenet, to refer to unsolicited bulk messages. At present, spam is pervasive danger for Net users. It is believed that about 90 percent of all emails are spam.
