Software Engineers Life-An example in programming

Here comes my post about a sample of a software engineering development ....

1) Break down large modules into smaller modules .
2) Because smaller modules are easier to test , reuse ,inspect (bla bla bla)
3) This may eventually result in a large number of modules
4) But this is not a problem since the server can handle it

Here comes the peak

5) Large modules are sometimes difficult to spot ,so always on the lookout.

See how contradictory the points are but still software engineers make it out ...ha ha ha WE ROCK!!!!!!

(hope everyone understand the critical phase of development a software developer is into ...)

OMG poor software engineers....


Do share your views about software engineer's(our) life...

keep watching out for more such hilarious rules(may be we are not still completely into it so we may not know.....lol [:P]........) in software development....

Catch you in my next post buddies.....

Present Situation Of VOLVO in our city

Hi folks ,

On going arnd the city in a volvo in such a fast moving(lol) traffic in chennai is really great ...All these were once when first the volvo were introduced in the city ..

But what is the present situation of those buses really damn bad in maintenance

MTC Volvo(When introduced)

The buses have many passenger friendly features including

- Tilting the bus on left or right side and increasing the height of the bus according to the requirements. (volvos need this to run on our roads :( )

- The suspension would also ensure jerk-free travel for commuters

- Physically-challenged and elders can board the buses with their wheel chairs.

- provision for wheel chairs to be fastened with the seats.

- LED scrolling boards will also be in place in the front, rear and sides of the vehicle for route information.

- Automatic doors in the front and rear with sensors, provision for laptop connection and mobile phone charger, channel music system and public announcement (PA) system to give information to passengers will be the other attractions.


But what is the condition of these WORLD CLASS buses ..

Only our people can break down such a bus within a year it is bought (a bus named for its creditability and durability ...)

Now the glass panels are broken and that they have been covered with packing tapes (is this meant for a VOLVO ...OMG [:(])...and the driver at times keep their windows open ...

One fine day when i was traveling in the car ...there was a very big buzzing sound ..we started fearing its from our car when we were about to stop the car , so we tried lowering the window shield and found at the reason ...ha it was a volvo behind us which crossed us .....Where in the world does a volvo make such a noise ....

Its not a property we own we should maintain it...Though our government has provided the people with such a comfortable travel , is it not the work of the concerned authorities to take care and maintain the product ???????? Who is responsible ? Our people will only point fingers......

Will the concerned authorities maintain the world class VOLVO buses??????

Adaptability

I glanced through my friends post abt being perfect in life enjoyed reading it where at the same time other friend has put forward the reality of the reality shows ....

And after switching off the monitors i was surfing the tv for some good stuffs to hang on with (as no news channel available from our cable operator except for the tamil channels) ..it was full of reality shows i came across what my friend has put in his blog ..i found myself with a smile in my face seeing a bit of the show (awful not to hurt anyone ..) ...

Advertisements ...yeah really a great thing created by some great marketing manager ..really to the core a person who has guessed it right ..What a brilliant idea to give something he wants to share when we are eager in something else.... sooo interested as we sit at the edge of the chair to know whatever it is ..be it the result of the supersinger or the election result or the break of a serial ...huf the idea has worked out well when people don wanna loose even a bit of their show by switching a channel even for second ...so they stayed glued to the tip of the chair and the same channel....

There someone has come with idea of the ads ..great people i appreciate the marketing technique ....But when it goes beyond limits -- people get irritated where the show in order to get a good revenue turns like anything as telecasting its shows in the middle of a hectic queue of ads instead of showing ads between the shows ..people reach to their heights of temper still they stay glued to the channel(funny people)...


And now i continue with my story ...as i was tuning in the available channels i came across some interesting ads..yeah a brilliant company had turned its idea so well to market its product really a wonderful idea ...a pop corn ad in which the brilliant idea is ....the ad starts with a word to the people saying

"Do you know why there ad between shows " continuing with an answer saying " its because you can make pop corn in this 2 min break "

i really was amazed with that idea ...i don exactly remember the company name...This is what marketing is all about make people at least look what their product is ....

And i again started switching channels seeing some movie buffs and again came across a very good implementation of an idea ...hope you people would have seen it
...The Accenture ad

It starts of with some 75% ratio of Tiger Woods kicking off a golf ball after which his bag falls into the water and he has left with only one golf stick...huf they came with the great idea of saying adaptability and there he shoots the ball into the hole with the only left out stick.....

another nice ad showing a great idea and vision of the company may be...

and you may think what connection does this post title bear with the above stuffs

yes am gonna talk about the word "adaptability "..hope we had a nice introduction [;)]....

What is adaptability ?

the ability to change (or be changed) to fit changed circumstances (i got this by google )

So are we adapting ourselves ? Of course yes we do ...We have been doing it since generations and generations and what we are now (may be its evolution but it came from adapting to the environment ...may be here i have given "Venkat's theory of Evoltion " (lol)....just joking)

So we need to adapt to all situations ...From the day we were born ...at times we seem to be more fragile by easily undergoing the adaptive capability and at times very hard to undergo the change ...

hey people does it mean if i give a title that i should keep repeating the same word a ten times in each para and a hundred times in the post ...nope [:P]

because am now adapting myself to the changed circumstance as am moving towards a natural state of bodily rest observed in humans and other animals....

As Cervantes’s Sancho Panza sang its praises as “the food that cures all hunger, the water that quenches all thirst, the fire that warms the cold, the cold that cools the heart ... the balancing weight that levels the shepherd with the king, and the simple with the wise.”

ha ha ha don get frustrated people ..am adapting to sleep...ll catch you in my next post ....till then keep adapting whenever a need arises but stay what you are and what you want to be never change just depending on the circumstance ...Think before you act....


Wait in for my next post abt the great great search engine ....

Drop in your comments ... Signing off with a good night and sweetest dreams.....

RULE 1 :

Wear helmets(NOTE : For two wheeler riders)....

Experience speaks ...Whenever you start in your vehicle check for all documents and do wear helmet ( if in two wheeler ppl ...don start commenting how can i wear in four wheelers)...

Just now came back veing caught in police for not updating my insurance after it got expired ...He started to ask me 1300 bugs ....and i said sir i don have so much with a sorry face and said its been paid but did not attach my documents (in fact that's the truth)...

He started off to reduce the amount ( As in one tamil film by senthil " Sir taxi lam vachi kadathirukom pathu potu kudunka " ha ha ..)..like that he came down to 300 bugs ....i said sir don have that much ...

Alas our trick that has been working for all these years in all places for making our work to be done...yep alas he asked me to give 100 bugs and left me warning me to wear helmet (ha ha )..as usual i removed it after a few distance ...

But its safe to wear helmet and take proper documents ..Lets follow the rules....

Information

hey ppl in this place you can watch out for the good and bad things i come across in and around the city ....i hope its rightly name under the label ...watch out in this area ...And you can also discuss , share , argue your views and the ideas about our city....


My first post under the label here it goes ....

I just came back from a travel through the busy roads where the metal machines emit their huge outlet as smoke and disturbing the waves of air by creating noises .. Fair enough we cant still get stuck to the old bullock cart to avoid this ....

we have traffic signals ..All have to obey the rules....but do they ? to put it in a better way - "DO WE OBEY TRAFFIC RULES?"

No , most of us don't follow

why cant ppl wait for a couple of seconds for the signal..Its not hours or days which cause accidents ...its just by a fraction of seconds it happens .. why cant we obey the rules ..just a few seconds or a couple of minutes is not gonna cost much , though it may cost ...nothing is costlier than our and any one's life .....Be safe Drive safe

The Day i regretted for my degree

Hope before you continue reading this do read my previous post about My First Walk-In because its the same day after the interview i experienced the bitterness of the words "NO VACANCY" , "NO JOBS"...

Starting from my previous post , as we were enjoying the comfort of the seats given by the local representatives of the people , we had a thought " WHY NOT BPO ? "..I always had a thought of getting into development only but the recession pushed me to think so...

We started off with the conversation whether to go to the BPO named after some modification to a pet famed for its astrological power (May be due to numerology ..(lol) just kidding... ) ..I was in dilemma , gym boy said OK , as usual ayya was tired so he went for a water bottle which we used quench all our thirst ...

Our INFO as usual said " Dey feeling sleepy , We can go another day " (i really wondered what does this boy have at home...Is he really feeling sleepy or is he hiding any stealthy secret from us..)..Myself and gym boy asked it to him ..he replied " dey really sleepy da" ...alas we somehow decided to go after missing a good number of buses to the are where poker boy lived ....

There came a bus we in a huzzle buzzle got into the bus ...Myself , gym boy and info got through the back door ,,ayya went in through the front door ...Thank God gym asked the conductor or the stop he said get down wrong bus ..we got down in a hurry shouting for ayya ....he came down smiling and saying " Nalla vela ...nan matum thaniya comedy piece airupen "....

The problem was with the bus which mentioned one route in front and at the back it had dropped a different route ..Only our MTC people can confuse people so shrewdly (Had a lot of experience [:(] when i wait for hours for a bus and getting into it they ll change it to a cut service ... my anger goes to peak ....)

Alas there came a bus we got into it ...the driver had a commotion with a two wheeler where the biker (not as like in those bike shows ..ha ha) had so much guts he stopped before a big bus and started shouting ....

We know our people , everyone inside the bus started moving towards the driver ..our gym tried i said " Dey prachna irunthathan da nee ponum ..these are small things they ll manage " ...he smiled and stopped...i know people ll be curious .....but never knew they are so curious , a man who came from behind me , really pushed me aside .Without even noticing he had pushed me, he went to enjoy the verbal war ...

Bus started (there were even some good girls to watch on..though i was not particularly interested in them , i had a glance to see them when i was looking for the stop...... lol..hey don laugh its true ppl not a story .)..we went on talking about the interview ( its interview season people [:)]...its the hot topic..)..there we reached ,our gym boy's restaurant...

His dad came and greeted us ..he is really nice person he talks to me well..we entered to give a small retreat for our great appetite ..We were given the great briyanis and to really mention the lolipop wow it was wonderful ...So we finished a great lunch ...Do u have some time and a great appetite for non-veg and also money (the prices are really nominal and more in quantity )do stop at the restaurant named "ARASAN"

Wat next ...its the the job search in the noon ...Uh i sobbed (but without tears and sound )to myself "how after a great meal instead of sleeping under 16 degree ..should i roam in the hot sun .....but have to" ..I decided to update my resume ..(the reason is that in the morning walk in i was asked why didnt you update your resume???? )..so i repeat

KEEP YOUR RESUME UPDATED

We went into a net center ..even my friends needed to take photocopies of resume...when asked for a system they asked to enter address phone number etc ..( good rule by Govt to trace people but ll it be effective???? lets wait and see)..i don wanna mention mine there next to me was standing the savior INFO i put his name and asked for his number he said "adapavi " but being so good he gave his number ...(though he is considered Mr.Perfect by our coll ppl ....People to you all i would like to say " ONLY WE KNOW HIM FULLY " (don worry da i wont let it out ha ha)) ..

I went in edited my resume ...got the soft copy from gym copied our project abstract (Thanks da)...then went in for printout gave the money ..we were likely to start aya was siting even not hearing that we were calling him ( he was busy overlooking the conversation between the shop owner and a customer )..

We started ..Thank God uncle got his bike and one from his friend ...myself and our biker( aya ..as usual he was sitting behind) started off in XCD and uncle gym and info in another bike....We went for companies ...here started my bitter experience [:(]

First ..i don't remember the name of the company( to put it correctly i can't get the name may be its something in Chinese or some other Lang)...i opened the big gate to see cylinders of oxygen ..i was shocked , seeing it closed the door ..then there was a security ...on inquiring the soft company was in first floor ...with a big sigh of relief we started to the first floor ( WE ENGINEERS FINISHED IN THE UNLUCKY 2009 RECESSION )..seeing wall hangings of NASA .. saying to ourselves if only HI-FI boy would have been here ..he would have started crying seeing the photos....

It had an automated door we pressed the bell it was opened from the cabin ten foot from inside by the press of a button there (thanks to the technology ..but may be its making us soo lazy adding our extra pounds [:(] )..we entered ..no vacancy but to console us he asked for our resume ..we gave as usual keeping INFO's first (as we do in coll for assignment submission )...we came back ...


Second ..started then there came a company whose infrastucture i was amazed (actually the architecture not inside because u ll know why bot inside in the coming lines)...Its named after the "the control center of cell or the heart of the cell " ...we with a hesitation entered (because the working people ,who were releasing their stress using the same technique of "fire at one end and a fool at the other end " , they really saw us like aliens )...there came a voice " Ena pa " from security ..we not even started "job" , he said " athelam ila pa ..poitu vanka " (hope now u understood why i was not able to see the infra [:P])...OMG what to say my Engg degree.....

Third we came to the BPO i mentioned above which we had actually planned but as uncle knew many company we went to other places also ...then we saw a good number of people under the red cloth with a name "JOB FAIR " ...( "Is it really Fair ?" you ll know why i ask this question soon..)..same place security ..on seeing us he asked gym boy where is ur shoes ...next he asked " Ena pa padichirukeenka" ...we said raising our chest with a pride B.E ..

The next answer was " BE klam vela ilapa ponka ponka "....i felt like like like ( Don how to express)..i don wanna give up (because after doing so many assignments "5 assignment per paper 6 paper per sem 8 sem nearly 240 + 20 (for first year 4 extra paper) + 5 for (the EECS we had 10 units) ====== 265 assignments and a great number of test exams" ..i wont give up noooooooo..) ..i asked him who the people where he said they are degree candidates and said we take only degree (thinking to myself has BE lost the status of being considered a degree )....i saib " BE yum degree thana " [:P]....he answered " Apdi ila pa ...BSc , BCom , BCA , BBA ...laike that" ....

With a heavy heart we regretted ourselves for being 2009 pass outs and holding a BE degree at the present situation we started back.....we went through some number of small companies uncle knew where without spoiling our hope they accepted our resume saying " we ll call u wen we need intake "....

Huff everything got over ...we returned to the restaurant ..Uncle always used to take me to kitchen to look how things were being made ..we had a good insight of really a nice restaurant ...(Both veg and non-veg ) ...then we talked about people who became great people after having lots of failure and insults ...we made up ourselves saying one day we ll also get into a good position ....

Again we started back to home really tired to the core ...got into bus having talks and gossips of info's girl friends and gym's..it was time to alight in a place to take buses in different directions to home ..we said bye and started off to home...

Without being able to control my thirst a bought a minute main pulpy orange which i like had the full bottle in a sip , got my bus ..reached home i slept for nearly two hours because of the tiredness......That day where i really regretted for my degree also turned me into an experience and also made me stringer in heart to never give up...

As vivekanandha ( one of my fav ) said " Arise , Awake ...And stop not till the goal is reached " .....Keep going ..take insults as experience never give up ...

Catch u in my next post ...signing off for now....

Drop your comments.....

My first walk-in

As my blog name suggests i have been a bit lazy in keeping my blog updated.....so here goes my next post abt a personal experience of My First Walk In ....

The day started off well , it was a good opening with a brisk wake up call from my old mobile ...I prepared myself to face the so called art of the fight between the don't knows (because most of the time i really feel how do they get such questions )interview which i expected alot...

Then as we planned, myself along with three of my friends started from our respective home for the interview ...

Huh look at my guts starting off to an interview not even having a hard copy of my resume ...it was like a funny thing when i started thinking of interviews as in tamil films where they say "NO VACANCY" but i really experienced the bitterness of such a scenario(which ll be coming in my next post)..then i got down near my hometown to take the hard copies of my so called stuffs that i came across my life in these years participating , organizing and all such stuffs so called certificates which they value more than the person we are now .......

After a long run of prints , photocopies of my CV along with mark sheets i boarded the bus with a good amount of doubt of my destination ....then there was a beep in my mobile , i took it to see Huff it was our INFO boy saying with his usual way " Reached , where are u? " ..i text back to him " on my way " ...and asked him for a favour....

It was the most really hilarious part... where i laughed inside alot ...i had asked him to check out whether the stop where my bus ll stop is nearby or far away ...he had enquired the ppl in the bus stop where he was waiting ....there came his big time ...he ,after asking the ppl , realized that he was standing in the same place which i had asked him to inquire abt ....

He had asked me to update where i was nearing ..so i started of with my text giving him a live commentary of my travel ..from the airport to the tea stall in the small corner and the out lander poster ..even from the driver of the bus applying the breaks and accelerations to his steering right and left .. till i myself got down to meet them...hope he would have regretted for asking so to me (lol).

All four of us gathered and as usual being ppl of a great appetite we went in for some fresh juice and there we started walking ...then on our way to office there happened the greatest of ayya's comedy who always makes our stomach ache by laughing ...here goes what happened

We crossed a mandapam ...there was a board which they usually keep for auspicious occasions ..there came a voice from our tamil ayya ...." Payan peruuuuuu ROHIT na ...apa ponu peru UPANAYANAMA da ????"
we thought for a while and we all ended up in great laughter as we saw the board ..it was UPANAYANAM for some boy ....OMG wat to say ayya's ignorance he said "seri vidu vidu " with his usual tone.....

We walked... walked ...walked............................... walked ..........wwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllkkkkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddddddddd..(sorry it was a very long walk [:P] lol)

Alas we reached the destination "the software company named with one of the direction with a collobration of software and electronics"....On our way we were talking abt the funny sms sent by friends abt jobs and how difficult it is really to get a job in this recession.....sweating and beating of the heat with long breaths we took our shelter under a tree for a couple of min...

Our Tamil ayya got very tired bcoz of his all time travel in cars and bikes (not driving but sitting ) as he always say " Driverathu straight uh pakanum but nan nallu side um pakanum cha ore kashtamapa "....

On reaching the office we saw our madipakkam manikam (the man of beauty) and our so called water packet (till date i dunno why they call so) ...they said it went off well( i mean the interview )...we entered the office where they asked us to submit resume ...we were offered tea by the person selling tea ..but with ethics we thankfully said no...(may be also with a fear they may ask ourselves to pay (lol) juzz kidding ..i think none ll take a hot drink after such a looooooooooooong walk on the hot black cake except for our one and only LOGS who asks even at nite 12 for a tea where there is only a single auto left to reach home and even the tea shop trying to close ..he loves tea may be because............ )and we were asked to wait inside ...

Only after entering the office i noticed i have not updated my resume i gave a cheers to myself ..good my friends have done it ...i totally forgot ...

FRIENDS CHECK UR RESUME A DAY BEFORE YOUR INTERVIEW...KEEP YOUR CV UPDATED FROM TIME TO TIME

We were called of separately inside . ...we waited then ayya went for interview ...two of us were sent upstairs myself and gym boy

My friends were done with the interview (as i cant get a chance to peep into their interview i cant say more abt them) but am sure our gym boy did well bcoz i heard his voice even beyond two doors [:P]....

Its my turn now ,in my first question i was asked abt my hobbies ....then i was really amazed wen my interviewer started typing in his keyboard and asked questions from monitor ....Huff the questions for God sake i have never came across ..... i was pretty sure abt certain questions and for some i said directly " Sorry i have not come across this before "

here goes a sample question ( if u know plz answer i am too eager to know the answer)

my interviewer started of
we have #include in c
do we have #include ?file?? in c
where in the hell can i know such an answer i said sorry i don't have any idea but still ..as in a tamil film it comes i think he thought to himself " Aha oruthan sikirukan da " he posted me his next question...can we nest such headers ....OMG i again gave the same reply...

I was asked to wait where i came to see my friends , we had a gossip everyone said abt their experience ...and as usual our gym boy said " dey onume solala da sothapiten " ...its his usual dialogues so we neglected his comments having a sheepish grin among ourselves ...

Here we went for HR ...oh its again hilarious i really don't know why they try to attract ppl with this ..there was a old lady with as much of make ups and a modern dress ..she started with the same piece of dialogue (which we came to know as we discussed coming out...think she was taught to tell to everyone) ...

" I basically believe in your interview scores bcoz we believe in our employees who interviewed you ..and she said ...we don't consider below 5 ..we wanna ppl to take training with 6 and 7 ..above 8 are absorbed directly ..You have to pay 5k for training which ll be returned if u are recruited based on your performance else (its implicit-- burp!!)......"

The same HR story " how much do u expect "... i was eagerly waiting for this question the day long so i said with my shoulders raising "hmmm arnd 10 k" ..i think she didn't even mind to notice wat i said.... she started with some piece of dialogue

" It ll be negotiated . You ll be happy with what we give and Wat u get " ...i asked to myself then why did they ask the question...Huff i went mad so when i stood i directly asked "if u don mind can i know my marks" ...she said 7 ...

I came out ...we ppl started back discussing the dialogues which was recited separately for everyone, which would have saved some of their energy for the rest of the day if they had said to us together...MAY BE ITS THE SECRET OF MANAGERS OR HR

We were laughing at ourselves saying1 mark cost 5k great...Our tamil ayya was tired to the core busily wiping his sweat . We again walked to the bus stand giving us a boost with a soft drink ..

Alas the great travel to the bus stand came to an end ...we sat in the seats that were provided in the shelters ..huh i was amazed Chennai is getting improved day by day ..we were discussing abt "WAT NEXT"...

and here i stop with my experience of my first walk-in ...i ll continue in my next post abt the day(actually it is the same day but it was after noon) when i really regretted for my degree ....look forward for it

drop in ur comments ...
