This might be my last blog for T-COM evaluation because, we are expected to write twenty blogs for this and this is the twentieth one.
Blogs are what, which I never tried before coming to NCST. Earlier I used to think that it is simply wastage of time and only those people who have ample time can write it. But, I was wrong.
During our T-Com. session, we were told that it is part of our evaluation and it is compulsory to write it. So, every one started creating their blog id and started writing blogs.
We were unable to understand what to write as a blog. We were unable to think any topic, so, we often used to ask others about topics. From there we get habituated to write blogs.
While writing blogs, we often have to appear for some exams, so it seemed to be a burden for us. Most of us then did a copy and pasting technique. We used to copy from net and paste it there, without realizing that writing blogs are there to improve our English and essential for our evaluation. I had always written blogs on my own, but see my bad luck the first time when I copied only few contents from net for my blog, madam selected that blog to read. And as a result of copying I was failed in my first evaluation. The second one was my own write up. But what to do? nothing. Hope to get good grade this time.
Then I read those blogs which got "A" grade in evaluation. There I realised that no need to copy from net, write your own feelings. Blogs are the best way to express yourself and it also improves your writing skills. It is something like writing your diary. But your personal diary is somthing which is personal to you. No one is supposed to read it without your permission. But blogs are open to every one any one can read it.
But the best part of writing a blog is to receive beautiful comments from your friends. I mean, it really brings a smile to your face when you see "1 comment" posted on your blog. It gives the feeling that some one is there to appreciate your work, to tell you about your mistakes. The efforts which you have put is not going in vain at all.
Now we often read each others blogs and post comments over there.
I think I am going to miss this part when our evaluation will be done, because I feel no one will take interest in writing blogs due to heavy studies and projects coming in next terms. But still it is really nice to write blogs.
Hope I could continue this blog writing after T-com evaluation too.

Super-Natural Powers.
"Supernatural powers". Do they really exist? I think it totally depends on our faith. If one believe in it,then it exists, otherwise not?
Some body relate it with science, but I personally feel that, it has a broad domain. Where science ends its boundary a new expansion of domain starts which we call supernatural powers.
Most of the times we often hear doctors saying "only prayer can save his life"(like:-" ab inhe dava ki nahi dua ki zarurat hai"). This simply indicates that even medical science has to rely on the existence of God.
I think most of us has never seen the God, but sometimes his presence is realized, and we tend to believe more and more in his existence.
One of my neighbour says that if you really want to feel that power and want to see the miracle happening in front of your eyes, just once visit "oneness university" at Verdepalam.
What is that?This was the question that came in my mind,first. He told me that this is an university which provides different kinds of preachings they call it "diksha".
Their main aim is to guide the youth to correct direction. They provide healing, which is there to solve your life problems. They provide you with solutions of problems occurring in your life.
But the charges he told me for all these kinds of dikshas are too high.
I thought that if this university is there for helping mankind then why to charge so much? There might be some reason behind that, which I am unable to understand, right now.
But, someday I would definitely go there to see the miracle happening in front of my eyes. Because people who visited that place have said so much about "healing" that it has increased my curiosity. They say that healing is that phenomena which resolves any kind of problem whether physical or psychological.
Physical and psychological ill health is caused by the imbalance in energies. They get disturbed due to various reasons such as life-style, dietary habits, living environment and emotional condition.These energies are embedded in different sheaths or layers of consciousness known as 'Koshas'. Healing works on these Koshas.
I do not know that whether it is true or not. But it has worked in several incidences, which forces me to believe its existence.
If you could find any thing interesting about these facts please share it with me.
Till then....

Hawthrone effect
"Hawthorne effect" is also known as demand characteristics, which means slight change in people's behaviour when they are observed by others.It is the phenomenon which is thought to occur when people observed during a research study, temporarily change their behavior or performance. It is generally used in studying organizational behaviour. But I want to relate it with our day-to-day life.
I want to cover it under the topic "projecting our self".
"First impression is the last impression."Is it always true? No, not in all situation. I mean to say that sometimes it works, but most of the time it does not.
As we start spending time together we often realize that what we previously observed about that person, is not exactly true. It is human nature that we often try to project our good qualities to others and try to hide our bad habits.
We all like to be appreciated, that is why sometimes we behave in extremely good manner(that good manner might not be inculcated in our nature, but just for appreciation we do it.) . And the person in front of us is bonded to praise and think good about us.
One incidence regarding this:
Once there were some guests were invited at my aunty's residence. So, she was very busy in cleaning and cooking. My younger cousin was watching it deeply. She was unable to understand why her mummy is doing lots of work. My aunt changed the bed-sheet of her bed-room too. Though the guests were not expected to visit that room. They all arrived on time, everything was successfully done. They were about to leave and were praising my aunty for good food and keeping her house so neat and clean. Then suddenly, my cousin interrupted saying, "you all have not seen those bed-sheets which mummy has changed today, previously an older one was there".
Every one was laughing on the spot.
This is what most most of us do when we get to know that someone is watching our behaviour. We try to project only our good qualities, trying to hide our bad qualities.

Favouring 20-20
Favouring 20-20 this was my stand in my Group discussion. Though I do not have much knowledge about cricket, still I favoured 20-20, because it gets over in short period of time.
Basically, 20-20 is that sort of cricket in which each team is allowed to play only for 20 overs( instead of 50 overs as in conventional one-days).
Now, everyone has to perform well in small span of time. That is everyone tries to give to give their best, and what comes out of this effort is a total entertainment, which audience and spectator enjoys.
What happens with earlier one-days or test matches is that due to their long innings, everyone gets bored, and excitements and enthusiasm is not maintained through out the session.
Whereas 20-20 is more output oriented. We get results within few hours. And today everyone wants results ultimately.
I have seen many people wasting their time in watching day-night matches and next day when they do not get result according to their will, they scold our team.
At least this does not happen with 20-20, due to its limited time constraints. Most of the time we get result. And also we can involve our self emotionally to the match. Since 20-20 is of limited time our players do not get much tired and they get ample time to relax and rest. By virtue of this, we can have more cricket seasons to see, instead of one or two in a year.
As we have transited from test matches to one days, there is no doubt that 20-20 is going to take place of one days, too. As it is more output oriented every body enjoys watching it. I mean, even I would definitely support it, because I have seen my brother sometimes watching matches in night, with low volume sound and next day he feels sleepy.
So, definitely 20-20 is a better option than others.
Following are the points in support of 20-20.

So, definitely 20-20 is a better option than others.
Following are the points in support of 20-20.
- It gets overed in limited numbers of overs, so saves time.
- It involves lots of energy and enthusiasm than test matches and one-days.
- Our players get ample amount of time to rest and relax, so they do not get tired or injured frequently.
- We get more cricket during the season, so more entertainment.
- Test matches are boring, and today no one wants to see boring games.
So, ultimately we can say 20-20 is the better option than one-days or test matches.

Group Discussion At T-com. Part II
Welcome once again. I have to tell you that what happened next. That means what happened in our group discussion.
When our turn arrived, everyone took their place according to roll number on the chairs kept in the center of class. Anupam started the discussion, he was favouring 20-20,so do I. Then I decided to grab the opportunity, by supporting his points. I was the second one, who took participation in the discussion. I supported my points by saying one days are very tiring and sometimes boring also. It is a wastage of time. In contrast 20-20 is more output oriented and it has more excitements involved as compared to one days.
While discussion I never hesitated to raise my points. This might be because, I have always interacted to rest of the team members out side the class, so I could express myself without any hesitation. Everyone was listening my points and was allowing me to speak(but, I know that, this will not happen in actual G.Ds.). Though I did not have much to contribute to the discussion, still I participated and tried.
My friend Nikhil and Monika were supporting me from back-bench, where ever they felt I am performing well. As I could see them from my position. That encouraged me.
Discussion was over after 10 mins. Now it was madam's turn to give her comments on our performance. I was nervous, because previously it was not good.
Madam was giving comments one by one. When she came to me, saying good. I was so happy and relaxed. Because I was not expecting this. Her comments really increased my confidence and willingness to perform well. Thank you Sawni madam (I thanked her there also.).
Hope to get these kinds of good comments on good performances, always.
Then my friends and batchmates, Nidhi, Poonam, Shipra, Pratibha, Moni, Abhijit, Amritanshu, Ajit, Nikhil, Monika, Chandrashekhar and all congratulated me on my performance.
It was really a nice feeling. It reminds me of my school friends, who always encouraged me on my good performance in my school.
At the end I would definitely thank my group members, Anupam, Chandrashekhar, Bhartendu and others for listening me, co-operating and supporting me.
Thank you Sawni madam for conducting G.D. Please do conduct some more group discussions, so that we can overcome our group discussion phobia.

Group Discussion at T-COM Part I
Group discussion is an important part of any recruitment in s/w indusrty and also for our T-COM evaluation. It is required not only in software industry but also in other industries. SSB conducted by army, air force etc. also include group discussions as an important selection criteria.
We had a group discussion last week. Before that I never participated in any G.D. Though I have participated in several debates and extra-curricular activities in my school days, but with prior preperations and practice.
Madam distributed the topics on the spot, to eight different groups. Mine was second group and topic was "doing away from one-day cricket". That means our group had to discuss either in favour of 20-20 cricket or in favour of one-day cricket. This topic is considered to be from male dominated field(but now-a- days females have also involved themselves to this).But I myself do not like watching cricket. So, I have little knowledge of it. My brother loves cricket. So, he often tells me about techniques and rules of cricket now and then.
Based on his details,(which I could remember there) I listed some points.
I was nervous, because my previous presentation was a disaster for me. I was not able to present it properly, because of lack of practice. And because of nervousness and lack of practice I could not perform well that day.
Anyways, I thought, "I have to do it". I was the only girl in my group, and the topic was not all of my concern, so I decided to speak whatever I know with my past experience and rest is up to the god.
First group did well. The discussion went on for almost ten minutes.Madam was ready with her comments and suggestions, which we had to follow. We listened all those suggestions and tried to implement it.
Now, it was our turn. I did not have much to say, but I was ready with few points. I decided not to begin the discussion, first I have to listen others and then speak.
So what happened there I will tell you in my next blog, till then..................

Resembling People
"Resembling people", I know that this title is bit confusing, but, if someone is taking interest in reading this blog, let me tell you in brief that what is inside the content.
This blog is about those people, with whom we meet daily and some of their activity resemble with persons in our life. And then we start finding some of their common behaviour. Like, we often say that this person is just like my father or brother that means, some of his behavior resembles to my father or brother. We try to find out similarities between two persons.
Activity of one person reminds us of another person(who is close to us).
Hope by now, it is clear that what this blog is all about.
So, if you want to read it further, go ahead or else you can leave it here.
I think that we often resemble people with those who are very close to us. Like, I resemble others with my brother Anupam. As my brother is very close to me, so if anyone does activities like him the first thing that strikes my mind is that o! he is doing just like my brother.
But most of the time I do not tell others about this fact, because people might not want to be compared with other. So, I keep it to myself, or sometimes I tell it to Poonam(my room-mate).
Here at C-DAC some boys are there, whom I resemble with my brother, but I would not disclose their names.
I think this is the quality of human mind to observe people and try to identify it with what you have observed or seen previously.
Sometimes instead of resembling a person to another one, we try to identify them with something funny, like animals, birds etc. just for fun. And then we keep their nick names, after that, their original name is forgotten by every one and those nick names are always remembered.
This is what, we all have must done in our school and college, with our seniors,batch mates, teachers or professors. All the teachers must have their nick names which is very popular among students, but that teacher himself does not know about it.
This reminds me of an incidence:
In our school our history teacher was nick named as "Changez Khan" by our seniors, and now, I have forgotten his original name but see the magic of nick name that it is still residing in my memory. And once I was about to use his nick name in front of other teacher, and then I stopped myself. So, nick names sometimes put you in difficulty also.
Here at C-DAC some nick names are also kept for our batch mates, with which everyone is familiar. One person is called Pogo channel, because he is very funny, other one is called Narial,
next chinti, next haathi etc. and many more...............
So if it is just for fun, without hurting any ones feeling or emotion then it is nice.

Laughter
“Laughter is the best medicine.” I think everyone agrees on this point. This is the one phenomenon, in which everyone wants to involve themselves.
I myself love laughing, but it is very important to know, where to laugh and how much to laugh, without hurting anyone. If we are sitting with our friends, having chit-chat in some casual mood, then there is no barrier to laughter. But the scenario becomes different if some serious discussion is going on, for example if we are in some meetings or discussing something important, then, there we have to maintain some decency, and control us.
Now, this is a big demerit with me. I find myself in difficulty, when I have to control my laughter, and situation becomes even worst when there is restriction.
One incidence regarding this:
My grandfather was a very strict person, he never liked any noise specially when he used to watch news on television. Once he was watching news, me and my brother Anupam were sitting beside him. Then, something happened funny, we both(me and Anupam) looked each other and ran to bathroom. Why? Because that was the safest place to laugh. We were laughing continuously there. And when all our laughing was done, we came back.
Since there was restriction in laughing I was not able to control it, there.
But that was a childhood incidence, now I am trying to remove this bad habit.
Anyways, laughing is that action which distresses us. It plays an important role in everyone's life. Imagine the world without laughter. Can you Imagine? No comedy show, no comedy movie like Golmaal, Partner, Andaz apna apna, Munna Bhai etc. no Laughter champions, that means no Raju Srivastav. How boring? Isn't it?
Now a days people in big cities are going through so much stress that, they have to join some laughter club for taking care of there health. So, no doubt it is essential for all but of course in correct amount.
For me, laughing is like another necessity of living. And by God's grace my room partener Poonam is just like me, when laughter is considered. She herself laughes and makes me laugh, whenever I am in tesion.
Sometimes we laugh so much that tears come to our eyes. But all this happens in our room only.
So at the end I just want to say that,laugh as much as you can but at correct place and situation, otherwise you will be in trouble.

Orkut
Orkut is the word to which everyone(specially youngesters) is familiar with.It is not just a word, its a site which allows us to create our own profile and facilitates us to add new friends. It is the way to be connected with our friends and family.
Though we have e-mails, mobile etc. but orkut has its own place.orkut is an Internet social network service run by Google. It is designed to help users meet new friends and maintain existing relationships. Similar to Friendster, orkut goes a step further by permitting communities of users. It is also invitation-only: Users must be invited to join the community by someone already there.
The things which I like the most about orkut is that besides interacting with our friends one can see their photographs,know their likes, dislikes and can check their profile time to time. No matter how far they are from us, when we log on to orkut, distance does not matter we can see them, chat them and interact them.
It works like a post box where our mails are stored and we read it, the only difference is that our scrap book is open and anyone can read it.
One can invite our friends to grow our friend network. But sometimes it irritates when some unknown to you sends friend request and send scraps.
Earlier on receiving such request I wait for few days, if that person is really a genuine person and friend to me, he/she asks me otherwise I ask them about their identity, if that is known to me then I add them to my friend list. Sometimes it happens to me that on asking about their identity, they react in a different manner, probably they might think that I am triying to act smart or I am a proud person. But it really bothers me that how can I add a person whome I never interacted and whome I do not know.
But anyways every one has their own mindset and standards. But in contrast to this now there are few persons in my orkut friend list whome I seldom interacted. Probably this is the latest trend, with which I am not aware of earlier.
Besides all these demerits I like my presence on orkut and I am enjoying it.

It is designed to help users meet new friends and maintain existing relationships. Similar to Friendster, orkut goes a step further by permitting communities of users. It is also invitation-only: Users must be invited to join the community by someone already there.
The things which I like the most about orkut is that besides interacting with our friends one can see their photographs,know their likes, dislikes and can check their profile time to time. No matter how far they are from us, when we log on to orkut, distance does not matter we can see them, chat them and interact them.
It works like a post box where our mails are stored and we read it, the only difference is that our scrap book is open and anyone can read it.
One can invite our friends to grow our friend network. But sometimes it irritates when some unknown to you sends friend request and send scraps.
Earlier on receiving such request I wait for few days, if that person is really a genuine person and friend to me, he/she asks me otherwise I ask them about their identity, if that is known to me then I add them to my friend list. Sometimes it happens to me that on asking about their identity, they react in a different manner, probably they might think that I am triying to act smart or I am a proud person. But it really bothers me that how can I add a person whome I never interacted and whome I do not know.
But anyways every one has their own mindset and standards. But in contrast to this now there are few persons in my orkut friend list whome I seldom interacted. Probably this is the latest trend, with which I am not aware of earlier.
Besides all these demerits I like my presence on orkut and I am enjoying it.
Last Sunday class.
Classes on Sunday? Isn't it surprising?But its true, we had a class on last Sunday. That was our data structure class. Raman sir teaches us data structure. He took class that day, that class was basically for a revision.
He started from the very beginning. The first topic discussed was array. Markandey one of our batch mates had raised a problem on two dimension array, so, that was the first topic discussed there.
Next he moved to stack, queue and recursion. Almost everyone has some problem with recursion.
We do not have much problem with stack and queue, but when our MGPA question was asked on queue, I was not able to do it, though it was not a tough one.
Anyways, later he discussed link list and tree. He started with a quick recap of difference between a binary tree and BST. All the operations in a BST is not so tough as compared to deletion. Here is the process for deletion of tree.

Deletion in tree:
- Determine Node to be deleted is the left child(LC) or the right child(RC) of its parent.
- When leaf is to be deleted-First findnode which is to be deleted, then findparent, check LCorRC. Then delete it.
- When Node to be deleted has only one child-First findnode. then findparent, check LCorRC. Finally delete it by attaching LC (or RC which is not nul) to its parent.
While teaching he often asks the complexity of insertion and retrival of data in each and every data structure. So, I think by now every one has remembered the complexity of link list, queue, tree etc.
Sir always tries to make an interactive conversation with students.Earlier, I have never coded for data structure, but here at C-DAC I have learnt how to code for stack, queue, link-list and tree.

Flowers
Flowers...Flowers...Flowers. It is really nice to see flowers around u. I think flowers are a beautiful way to express your feelings. We can wish our near and dear ones with a bouquette or just a single flower with a sweet smile,(on the days important them) that works wonderfully.
Even in our prayer and worship we use different kinds of flowers. So, there, flowers are the way to send our feelings and prayers to the GOD.
Today I want to tell something about roses as these are my favourite ones. I have collected some interesting facts from internet about roses and I want to publish it here.
Roses are one of the most popular garden shrubs, as well as the most popular and commonly-sold florists' flowers. In addition to their great economic importance as a florists' crop, roses are also of great value to the perfume industry.
Many thousands of rose hybrids and cultivars have been bred and selected for garden use, mostly double-flowered with many or all of the stamens mutated into additional petals. As long ago as 1840 a collection numbering over one thousand different cultivars, varieties and species was possible when a rosarium was planted by Loddiges nursery for Abney Park Cemetery, an early Victorian garden cemetery and arboretum in England. Twentieth-century rose breeders generally emphasized size and color, producing large, attractive blooms with little or no scent. Many wild and "old-fashioned" roses, by contrast, have a strong sweet scent.
Roses thrive in temperate climates, though certain species and cultivars can flourish in sub-tropical and even tropical climates, especially when grafted onto appropriate rootstock.
There is no single system of classification for garden roses. In general, however, roses are placed in one of three main groups:
Wild Roses — The wild roses includes the species listed above and some of their hybrids.
Old Garden Roses — Most Old Garden Roses are classified into one of the following groups. In general, Old Garden Roses of European or Mediterranean origin are once-blooming shrubs, with notably fragrant, double-flowered blooms primarily in shades of white, pink and red. The shrubs' foliage tends to be highly disease-resistant, and they generally bloom only on two-year-old canes.
Alba — Literally "white roses", derived from R. arvensis and the closely allied R. alba. These are some of the oldest garden roses, probably brought to Great Britain by the Romans. The shrubs flower once yearly in the spring with blossoms of white or pale pink. The shrubs frequently feature gray-green foliage and a climbing habit of growth . Examples: 'Alba Semiplena', 'White Rose of York'.
Roses are the most popular flower among youngestes. They definitely use it in different occasion.
People says that different kind of roses has different meaning so according to the meaning and ocassion one can use that rose. I have found something from net and it is published here.
Red: love
Pink: grace, gentle feelings of love
Dark Pink: gratitude
Light Pink: admiration, sympathy
White: innocence, purity, secrecy, friendship, reverence and humility.
Yellow: Yellow roses generally mean dying love or platonic love. In German-speaking countries, however, they can mean jealousy and infidelity.
Yellow with red tips: Friendship, falling in love
Orange: passion
Burgundy: beauty
Blue: mystery
Further information: blue rose
Green: calm
Black: slavish devotion (as a true black rose is impossible to produce)
Purple: protection (paternal/maternal love)
The rose also has various supernatural and literary attributes.
Beauty of Hindi movie.
Every one likes seeing movies, does not matter hindi or english. But I prefer to see hindi movies, because they are related to us, though some of them are remake or copy of english movies. I think when a director copies an english movie he moulds it to the taste liked by an Indian audience or spectator.
I think the real beauty of a hindi movie are its songs(besides its story, location etc.). Songs are liked by every one.
Songs are really the refreshing one, especially the Hindi movie songs. No matter how tensed are you, listen a good melodious song, definitely you will feel refresh for few moment. For some time one can forget all our tension, so thanks to all our singers and composers.
I think everyone likes the songs, but some times we listen people saying that songs composed now-a-days are not as good as those composed earlier, which is true up to some extent, because most of the songs now are mixture of hindi, punjabi and english and also the music is bit noisy, which is acceptable by youngesters, but not by others.we often hear elder people critisizing Himesh Reshamiya's songs, but he has a very big fan following of youngesters and kids. Now-a-days he is a hit composer and singer too.
But anyways the music which is pleasent to ear are good to hear.It is true that the songs composed by the music directors in old days were more melodious and pleasent than that of todays' song, but even today songs composed by A.R. Rehman, Shankar Ehsan Loy and many more are good to listen, but again it depends on your choice, everyone has their own choice.My father likes the old songs, my younger cousins like Himesh Reshamiya's kind of songs, Disco and dance number, so all have different tastes according to their choice.But one thing is commom among all is that all likes songs.when we are talking about songs how can we forget to talk about Lata Mangeshkar. She is the melody queen. Everbody likes songs sung by her.But one thing I can say that songs are liked by everyone and it has a big role in uniting the indian, there are lots of encouraging songs in favour of our nation, likes and sung by all irrespective of cast, community and religion.

Rastrapati Bhawan
Rastrapati Bhawan is not just a building, but it includes a history in itself.It is the pride of India and each every Indian is proud of it. That huge building tells its story. I do not know that what ever it has seen till now (from inside and outside). But, I have tried to search all these facts. So here are those facts.
The splendour of the Rashtrapati Bhavan is multi-dimensional. It is a vast mansion and its architecture is breathtaking. More than these, it has a hallowed existence in the annals of democracy for being the residence of the President of the largest democracy in the world. Few official residential premises of the Head of the State in the world will match the Rashtrapati Bhavan in terms of its size, vastness and its magnificence.
The present day Rashtrapati Bhavan was the erstwhile residence of the British Viceroy. Its architect was Edwin Landseer Lutyens. The decision to build a residence in New Delhi for the British Viceroy was taken after it was decided in the Delhi Durbar of 1911 that the capital of India would be shifted from Calcutta to Delhi in the same year. It was constructed to affirm the permanence of British rule in India. This building gave the impression, in the words of a critique, the setting of a perpetual Durbar. The building and its surroundings were supposed to be 'an empire in stone', 'exercising imperial sway' and containing in it, "the abode of a disinterested elite whose rule was imposed from above". That 'empire in stone' and the perpetual Durbar was transformed to be the permanent institution of democracy on 26th January 1950 when Dr. Rajendra Prasad became the first President of India and occupied this building to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of India. It was from that day that this building was renamed as Rashtrapati Bhavan - the President's House.
Apart from Edwin Lutyens, the Chief architect and Chief Engineer Hugh Keeling there were many Indian contractors who were involved in the construction of this building. While a Muslim contractor Haroun-al-Rashid did most of the work of the main building the forecourt was built by Sujan Singh and his son Sobha Singh. Surprisingly the names of these Indians did not find a place in the official biography of Lutyens.
The sanctioned amount for the building was earmarked at 400,000 pounds. However the long span of seventeen years required for the construction of the building raised its cost to 877,136 pounds (then Rs. 12.8 million). The actual amount incurred in not only the construction of the building but also the Mughal Garden and the staff quarters amounted to Rs. 14 million. Edwin Lutyens was reported to have remarked that the money invested in the construction of the building was smaller in amount as compared to the cost of two warships.
It is interesting to note that the building which was scheduled to be completed in four years took seventeen years and on the eighteenth year of its completion India became independent.
This vast mansion has got four floors and 340 rooms. With a floor area of 200, 000 square feet it is built by using 700 million bricks and three million cubic feet of stone. Hardly any steel has gone into the construction of the building.
The most prominent and distinguishing aspect of Rashtrapati Bhavan is its dome which is superimposed on its structure. It is visible from a distance and the most eye-catching round roof with a circular base in the heart of Delhi. While Lutyens ostensibly acknowledged the design of the dome to the pantheon of the Rome, it is very strongly believed by informed analysts that the dome was structured in the pattern of the great Stupa at Sanchi. The pre-dominance of Indian architecture in the dome is evident from the fact that it is encircled by railings of Sanchi origin. In fact the whole of Rashtrapati Bhavan embodies in it Indian architectural patterns such as Buddhist railings, chhajjas, chhatris and jaalis.
Chhajjas are stone slabs which are fixed below the roof of a building and are designed for the purposes of preventing the sunrays from falling on the windows and protecting the walls from the rains in the monsoon. Chhatris adorn the rooftops of the building and make an exception to the horizontal line through their elevated positions. Jaalis, like chhajjas and chhatris, are also of typical Indian designs which add beauty to the architecture of the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Jaalis are the stone slabs containing lots of perforations which are designed with delicate floral and geometric patterns. Lutyens very carefully used chhajjas, chhatris and jaalis and skillfully harnessed the utility of these designs by deploying them at appropriate places. In few of the jaalis that are installed in the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Lutyens also blended European styles to further enhance their aesthetics and utility.
Another redeeming feature of the architecture of the Rashtrapati Bhavan is the use of Indian temple bells in its pillars. It is well known that the temple bells constitute part and parcel of our composite culture, particularly that of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain traditions. Blending these bells with the Hellenic style architecture is a fine example of the fusion of Indian and European designs. Such bells are conspicuous in their absence in the North Block, South Block and in Parliament House. It is interesting to note that the ideas to adopt such bells in the pillars of Rashtrapati Bhavan came from a Jain temple at Moodabidri in Karnataka.
When Chakrabarty Rajagopalachari assumed the office as the first Governor General of India and became the occupant of this building he preferred to stay in a few rooms which is now the family wing of the President and converted the then Viceroy's apartments to be the Guest Wing where the Heads of State of other countries stay during their visit to India.
The might and authority of the people of India, which pervades this Republic is represented by the President of the country, whose official residence is the Rashtrapati Bhavan and the architecture of which fascinates as much the ardent architects as the common people across the globe.

Family
Everyone needs to have a family. It is the supporting pillar in everyone's life. It consists of mummy,papa, brothers, sisters, grandparents, uncles, aunties and cousins, but what I am talking about is of a joint family. Now-a-days, nuclear family has taken the place of a joint family and it is growing day by day.
What does a family mean? Is being together, or living together under one roof is family?NO. A family is tied together with the bond of emotion, respect, love and affection. If one is not living together still one care for our loving ones, then this is the family.
Sometimes we might come across that people are living together, still they seldom talk each other, though they are family members(so called). They are family to outside world but for themselves they are strangers.This is not the family in real sense.
I think what makes a family happy, is how strong our relationship is, with members of our family. If relationship is very strong everything is fine, otherwise it will collapse someday.
By that strong relationship I mean to say, that how much do one talk to our family, how much do we share our feelings and how much we listen to them patiently.
If I talk about my family my parents are at Patna, me and my brother are residing at hostel away from home, though we are not living together but still we are family. We care for each other, we often talk and share our feelings.This mobile technology has really helped us in being together.
Now a question arises, why do we need to have a family? This question reminds me of a proverb "man is a social animal". We are living in a civilized socity, and sometimes we need a support in the time of crisis. That time we essentially need our family. It is the family which does not let us feel down, and encourage.
So, ultimately I can say like, air, water and food, family is essensial for the survival of human being. So respect your family members and take care of them.
Bye.

Friend
With that FRIEND word, a very old proverb is associated and that is "A friend in need is a friend indeed", and I think that this is a very good technique to judge anyone that whether he or she is your friend or not. If someone is always with you in your good as well as bad days, that person is your true friend, and one can trust them.
Friendship is that relationship which is always precious to everyone. This is the only relationship which we choose on our own by interacting and judging the people.
Friend is that person to whome we can share everything, even all those talks which we cannot share with our parents too. Because the friend is the one who understands our feelings in our own ways.
Everyone needs a friend to talk, laugh and to share moments of joy and sorrow.
Discusses the meaning of friendship. Describes the importance of having cherished friends.
Friends are the pearls of our life. This word bears its great meaning only to those who could understand the greatness of its meaning. Its some thing sacred, it needs to be cherished and build up for many years with much care.
A friend is friendly, happy, and playful, too. A friend doesn't yell at you. You play with each other all the time.
You try not to fight with a friend. You help each other when you get hurt.
A friend is someone who goes with you in the good times and bad times.'
Good friends are always by your side. When you're playing they don't walk away.
They never fight with you because then they aren't your friend.
If you don't have any friends then you aren't friendly.
God bless, friends.
A friend is a person who comes and won't judge a flower by its color.
A person who will never give up on you.
A person who will comfort you when storms of tears are in your mind.
A person who will just have some fun with you and give you a good laugh.'
A person that doesn't mind expressing their happy or sad feelings to you.
A friend is someone you can depend on. Someone who you can talk to. A friend could be anything like a person, dog or cat. Whatever a friend is it doesn't matter as long as it's your friend. Many people don't know that. A friend is a friend and that's all that matters.

Time
When somebody says TIME, the first thing that strikes my mind is the proverb "Time and Tide waits for none." This is true, because almost everyone of us has experienced this. Time or opportunity missed once, is very difficult to regain. The opportunity may be regained for next time but, the time lost once, is impossible to regain.
So, one can say that time is more precious than money, money once lost or spended can be earned later but time cannot be earned back.
The most suitable and current example is of MGPA. That first hour time is very important and crucial, if anything is missed there, cannot be recovered in next hour.Most of us feel that during our examination time always run short, so, the value of time is understood there only, by students.
But, I would say that time is the most precious and beautiful thing, because as we spend times, it keeps on adding to our memory.
Memory can be of our childhood, schooldays, college days etc. It can be good or bad. But anyways, these are now part of our life. So, times spent are our abstract belongings and most of them are private to us.
When we are talking about Time, to get correct output, time management often plays an importent role. Everyone talks about time management, but when it comes to implement to ourself we often fails.
Time allows people to perceive motion. Furthermore, people perceive it differently. One might feel that his perception of time and its manifestation is within a timely context and its justification, regardless if near or far. On the other hand, another person might perceive time as a hand on a clock that moves along minute by minute, validating each change as a sequence of time. It is utmost important to understand that the concept of time is not easy to explain and not easy to comprehend; even among each other. Especially complicated it will get if one introduces the concept of an afterlife and the probability of time existing in those spheres of existence. The question arises, if time does not exist in an afterlife: How can communication take place between the two spheres?Hoping to better demonstrate the events that take place, I would like to introduce a model to shed some light on this important aspect of exploring the afterlife.First of all, it is important to distinguish between the existence of a physical - mathematical term of time and the existence of a consciousness term of time within each human being.All of us are aware of the phrases: "Well, that took a long time!", "That went fast!", "How much longer will that take?" and so forth. No conflict arises with the physical term of time, since we do have scales to monitor time, as we know it, with explicit accuracy. But, does time exist without the existence of a human being, who interprets what time is - with his human consciousness? Simply put, does time exist without someone reading the clock?
So, one can say that time is more precious than money, money once lost or spended can be earned later but time cannot be earned back.

The question arises, if time does not exist in an afterlife: How can communication take place between the two spheres?Hoping to better demonstrate the events that take place, I would like to introduce a model to shed some light on this important aspect of exploring the afterlife.First of all, it is important to distinguish between the existence of a physical - mathematical term of time and the existence of a consciousness term of time within each human being.All of us are aware of the phrases: "Well, that took a long time!", "That went fast!", "How much longer will that take?" and so forth. No conflict arises with the physical term of time, since we do have scales to monitor time, as we know it, with explicit accuracy. But, does time exist without the existence of a human being, who interprets what time is - with his human consciousness? Simply put, does time exist without someone reading the clock?

Songs
Songs are really the refreshing one, especially the Hindi movie songs. No matter how tensed are you, listen a good melodious song, definitely you will feel refresh for few moment. For some time one can forget all our tension, so thanks to all our singers and composers.
I think everyone likes the songs, but some times we listen people saying that songs composed now-a-days are not as good as those composed earlier, which is true up to some extent, because most of the songs now are mixture of hindi, punjabi and english and also the music is bit noisy, which is acceptable by youngesters, but not by others.
we often hear elder people critisizing Himesh Reshamiya's songs, but he has a very big fan following of youngesters and kids. Now-a-days he is a hit composer and singer too.
But anyways the music which is pleasent to ear are good to hear.
It is true that the songs composed by the music directors in old days were more melodious and pleasent than that of todays' song, but even today songs composed by A.R. Rehman, Shankar Ehsan Loy and many more are good to listen, but again it depends on your choice, everyone has their own choice.
My father likes the old songs, my younger cousins like Himesh Reshamiya's kind of songs, Disco and dance number, so all have different tastes according to their choice.
But one thing is commom among all is that all likes songs.
when we are talking about songs how can we forget to talk about Lata Mangeshkar. She is the melody queen. Everbody likes songs sung by her.
But one thing I can say that songs are liked by everyone and it has a big role in uniting the indian, there are lots of encouraging songs in favour of our nation, likes and sung by all irrespective of cast, community and religion.

MGPA
MGPA is the word to which every FPGDST student is familiar with. Till now I have faced two MGPAs, and both were failure, because of my silly mistakes.
It is Machine Graded Programming Assignment in which, for certain set of inputs PARIKSHAK checks our programmes and wants desired set of output described earlier. This is a very new concept of testing anyones' programming skill, I have never gone through this kind of test, this is totally a new experience for me.
Now I am trying to cope with this new technique, but I am bit scared also, because there are only 10 MGPAs, out of which Two is already over, and these two were the simplest one. Next problems are not going to be so easy.
A question is given to us, which is to be understood thoroughly and solution is to be prepared within first hour. Next hour is for writing our programme to PARIKSHAK for execution and testing.
That first hour which is given for problem understanding and logic development is very crucial and critical, if anything is missed there, then nothing can be done in next hour to change the logic.
It needs a lot of practice to develope a sound logic skill to understand and write code within an hour. We have to think in all the aspect.
For the first MGPA I was even not able to compile my programme, and the time was over. For the next MGPA I was so sure of running my programme successfully, but again I failed, It was working correctly for the first set of input but for second set of input is was not working.
I got 2 Ys and rest Xs after submiting it to the PARIKSHAK. The problem was there in logic but I was not able to correct it.
But I can say that this one was better than that of the previous one because this time at least I was able to submit it to the Parikshak and I was able to compile it and correct it atleast my errors.

Is being nostalgic correct?
I personally feel everybody becomes nostalgic in few moments of life, but before I proceed further I would like to define the meaning of nostalgia, nostalgia is feeling of home sickness or remember ur past beautiful days, but if someone is taking interest in reading this blog, please find correct meaning and post it here.
I have taken this topic because almost everyone of us are residing at hostel away from our home or native place, and I am sure, there must be atleast one moment where we have gone through that feeling. If anybody wants to share his or her views they can post it here.
Comming back to my point, "Is being nostalgic correct?" My answer would be "NO", I mean to say that it is ok for sometime, but if we are becoming too much nostalgic, it would not help us in our walk of life.
Everyone must have heard that hindi phrase" Kuchh pane K liye kuchh khona padta hai."So I feel that one has to look forward in life, make adjustments and accept the situation (if we are not able to change the situation).
I know it is getting boring, even it is boring for me too to write this blog, but cannot help it, as it is a part of our assignment of T-Com, and we have to write 70 lines for each blog.
But sometimes we really miss our family, the beautiful moments spent with them and many more.
Here what I missed the most is the food cooked by my mother, that canteen food is ok, but not as good as those cooked by my mother, but no option is there, I have to accept the situation.
One more thing that I missed here is group of my friends, laughter moments spent with them and emotional moments too.
Now what I do to get rid of this nostalgia I try to make a phone calls to those whome I missed, talk to them and enjoy that moment. Orkut.com has been my support also, this is the way to communicate with those ones whome I do not call by phone, or they are residing abroad. So, thanks to internet technology.
Sometimes I also go through my photo album to re-enjoy my past memories.
Now I am at C-Dac, till now everything is ok, and I hope it would be all right through out my stay here, and these moments will become part of my nostalgia in future.
I hope so.
If any one from my batch want to put her/his Nostalgic moment can post it here, I hope it will help you to get rid of that situation.
Also we can read your views and comments.
I tried to make this blog interesting, but if anyone did not enjoyed it please, put your comments also.
Bye-Bye.
