Andromeda

When i came to NITC i was excited to see the LINUX operated systems here in all the labs than later on we were given Andromeda logins. yes, Andromeda MCA's student-faculty server where all of us MCA's have our own space to work on. and then i met two fundoos in our super-senior batch Shivendra and Abhishek. I was in love with linux and i have spent a huge amount of time struggling with my linux so many re-installation and many times data loss. i learned so many things reading tutorials from internet and in case i got struck anywhere than the fundoo's consult. later we got chance to set up LAN in our hostel unfortunately i missed the chance to get administration but ultimately it came to me as the appointed student was from non-computer side and he used to consult us in case of problems and finally some days after he handed over the server room key to me, and i got chance to do some research sort of things, after two or three days i installed linux on the machine being fed up with the virus attacks, and later on with help of another fundoo we did NAT ing on the system and everyone in hostel was enjoying internet thereafter. from that time i was into linux, and same time i got Jayant interested to do similar things and then we together did so many experiments sometimes success and sometime failure i don't remember what it was exactly but day before discrete exam i had solved a great problem, i was into linux googling for the things and when i got the things corrected it was 5am at about and after some time i have top appear for my final exams. it was my foolishness or addiction i can't describe it but i lost my discrete exam in first semester.

learned so many things under guidance of those two fundoos than we organized Nakshatra (All INDIA MCA MEET) for the first time, that was a start we got from our super senior batch. being part of Technical team with Shivendra, some more things got cleared, whenever i went to him with some doubt he has cleared it in minutes as if he has worked a lot on that problem., and then time came when they left the college after finishing MCA now andro administration came in hands of Sunil and Bineet. i didn't had much interaction with Bineet but i have seen great dedication in Sunil and after those two fundoos he was the next person to get things, again in the even the 4th semester we presented second version of Nakshatra and whole event was learning process, this time we worked more than previous.

another interesting thing i would like to point out, during first semester Andro Admins were having long hairs styles , at that time we both myself and Jayant have also kept long hairs, continuing Shivendra and Abhishek, Sunil Saini also kept long hairs for a long time. later jayant has cut his hairs but i am still having the hairs i starting growing at that time, and i don't have any future plans to cut my hairs , i am having longest hairs in the campus. of course among boys , but there are girls having short hairs than me ...

now at the middle of this 4th sem finally all the wait is over and i have root password of ANDROMEDA, yeah myself and Jayant has been chosen as the admins for this coming year

and this is the first work i have done on Andromeda is cleaning of the machine, it was too much dirty, prashant appointed DELL engineerer in the campus helped for that and now publishing this post from Andro machine ..


will be back with another post very soon ............

Merry Christmas 2007

This time Christmas will be unforgettable for the Khalbalies (We call our class members as Khalbalis) who had a bike Tour on the Christmas eve.

Well feeling bore in the hostel, simply passing time , nobody was getting another idea to waste some more time... many khalbali members (B side) were already on the trip to Ooty-Mysore. and the others girls Khalbali god knows what are they doing in LH. now lying in the G lawn we planned a bike ride tour but no body was able to define the target for the drive. Ultimately with lot of destination points we have started out our journey. a great missing our Netaji was not with us this time that because of some previous fixed appointments, which is not good for relations.anyway Neta agreed to be with us in another way(that's secret). Hats off to Neta. then Shinu-Fahad had to attend a compulsory meeting in the G hostel near Kiran sir's room so again busy.
then Jarhead he has so many viewpoints to make him understand that he will not go out of his singlet.
now remaining members from girls Khalbali, we didn't waste time to ask, with preasumed decision. i have one complete semester experience they never even join me for Shangri-la in day time, how can they come for outside trip and thats on the bikes.

In hurry we got the bikes hired from the cheta near to KMCT college. then a sleeping bag with three bedsheets and some other things we have to roam more than a night. so many plans, which to follow has to be decided,
we can travel upto a Guruvayur or some more to Thrisur. One idea to spend night on some beach, other to stay in church celebrating Christmas. so many things in mind. We all came to on decision that we will visit Jesny's home. It will be nice experience for us and great surprise for her.



And we started the bikes from G hostel. the first Khalbali in tour, one of the bike run out of fuel, Pavan was on the bike may be that is the reason he always get something unexpected. Guddu got some petrol from nearby petrol pump and journey started. Our first break was on a Bridge reason to click some photos :)... here are some pictures taken on the bridge












Then we speed up further without knowing the exact destination, i mean we don't even know her home place we just had an idea that its somewhere in between Guruvaur and Thrisur that's it. we than next stopped at a small town in the way where my bike tyre got puncher. it was exactly in front of a Bajaj showroom and gave it to the shop for repair, we had fruit juice at the place and tried to get the name of the place from Ranju (Jesny's friend) without telling her that we are on the way to her home. the name of the place is difficult to pronounce when i cut the phone i forgot the name, i called again and got the spelling which pavan has written on atm slip. then he pronounced the name of place to his best to the shop owner, and after some two three try he got the owner got the name, then he directed us towards the place. then after moving another hour we called Jesny and opened the surprise, at this time we were around 30 Km far from her village, we talked to her father and he directed us the way. the journey was great road was full of traffic of vehicles heading towards Shabrimala temple. Then next we stopped at "Chetua" a small town after Guruvaur. There we purchased a Christmas gift on behalf of Kahlbali, and moved further now next we have to search for the MI Hospital as we were guided by Jesny's father.







After reaching M.I. Hospital we called her and were waiting for her father. We haven't seen jesny's father so by the
time he came to us we were just thinking from which way he will come, and just guessing on the people passing from there, after some minutes of wait, he came and we move to her home. it was great when we entered the village, houses were decorated with lights with some area resembling the Jesus birth scene. it was not only the Christians houses even some of the Hindu's house were also shining with the stars light up in front of there houses.

we reached her home and after that we spend our time in eating cakes, fruits, and some other dishes names i don't know including the my all time favorite "white spongy cake". then we visited her relatives houses in the village there also we got so many things to eat but what to do no place left. then we came back to her home, now its time to have dinner.

Already we have taken so much how to have dinner, but we finally took the chairs on the dinning table and started some of the things were prepared by Jesny herself and was not much difficult to trace when we found more chilly in some of the things. oh ! food finished now what to do next, after having a discussion among ourself we decided to move back to nitc after visiting Church at midnight. some more pics taken at home















After some more gupshup it was time to go to church. and at mid-night almost every christian in the village was at the Church. Prayers started and after saying our heartily wishes to Jesni's family we started our journey. This time we were on air with more than 85km/Hr speed. with a tea break at one fuel station in the way, we reached back to NITC at 4am. Everyone enjoyed the tour to Jesny's home

Merry Christmas

The Third Semester !

By the end of third semester I have found something to add to my blog, before starting it i want to say that this all content is my personal opinion, some people may find it wrong or some of you might be agreed to me . if it is good i expect nothing from you but if u feel that i am wrong somewhere in my opinion please do write a comment... after i wrong things should go out , they always create a difference....

Our batch has a bad name in NITC that this batch is not good in studies and it is true also, in boys there are very less people who really want a to have all bookish knowledge and most of us are like not taking any kind of tension and fear about studies, and there are some people who are really working hard but because of some or other reason not able o score higher grades. Although there is a group of people who are extremely good in grades and knowledge but majority is not so there are spots on the batch's image.

Let me start from the start of this semester we all have a idea in our mind that this semester we have to do somewhat better, this year we wont be wasting much time in extra activities, and so many things . Though it is very normal to have such things in mind of a student at the beginnings of session, it depends on him/her how far he/she maintains the words. I started the semester with the same view and this time i am the class representative as no one came out for that job so i thought to try it, i planned some things for the semester to make it different from the previous semesters.

During our first semester all of us have enjoyed the programming subject under Saju madam , this semester she was back for Networks so many people were happy to have a class with Saju madam, as it an odd semester a new batch has to join the MCA Family@NITC. At out joining time we had missed so much time going to seniors and spending night with them learning the life@nitc. this time we all had that thing in our mind and everyone has decided to have fresher party in a week of joining of the junior batch, and to conduct some constructive classes for them.

We planned to have Linux classes for them, for which i have done some preparatory work with some of my batch mates. The content of lectures was also decided and distributed among us. Other than this we planned to have web designing classes for them, Juniors were excellent people, but fresher party was delayed reason: actually our seniors who were getting nice placements at starting itself want to give placement party to us i mean our batch according to tradition of MCA Family. now if fresher party for juniors is arranged before this placement party seniors must invite to juniors also so we were asked to delay the "welcome party".

now three weeks gone waiting for the "placement part" at last we had a great party from Seniors in TAJ Hotel party was nice we enjoyed the food at the hotel and later on the Calicut beach, that was my first visit to a beach, before this i have seen beach from far distance some two times. Happening of the party gives green signal to "Welcome Party" for juniors, and proceeded for that. we took permission from Dept, aryabhatta out lecture hall was booked as venue for the party. after permission work over one night i called all juniors boys to my room at hostel for asked their interest. we do some cultural activities during fresher party so it was the time for their talent. but unfortunately time was not in ours, Our chief warden came to visit our hostel and we were caught conducting a meeting with juniors. i tried my best to say the actual situation but they were new to nitc who is going to believe in such a situation, anyway chief warden didn't took any strict action for that, he has to inform to our department about the issue and he said all to our Head of Department i was called by HOD sir. i said all things and with a warning we were out of his room, but another bad thing happened fresher party has to be shifted to next month, i am still confused with this decision, i mean if some ragging is going on it will be there before fresher party and taking fresher party to next month means giving more time for ragging. Anyway it was shifted and we have to put out plans on a pause for another month.

HOD sir was convinced with my words but when Nazeer sir got this thing he was angry with us he called me and said so many things i was not allowed to say anything, and i do have(not only myself , we all) respect for him so we can't go against him, as MCA coordinator he is always there for MCAs. but another day he got some news from girls hostel and after that he came to our class and there was an unforgettable Lecture by him. i will remember those words forever, i don't know who said him things that made him against our batch.

Now this was the time we can't even stand next to our juniors but still we helped them to best of ours. Now u might be thinking how this helping word coming. After coming to NITC campus many of juniors were not feeling well, few of them suffered with jaundices and were hospitalized also . during those days my classmates were the only people who used to go to them for food, in rotation many of us spent night in the hospital, all moral and financial support we can give we have given. I would like to mention two of the incidences during this time.

one fine day a junior was suffering from headache and we got that he had some problems of tumor in his past life. two of our batchmates took him to BM Hospital in the city, we had a test on the day, and they had to left that, our good luck at the last of the semester they got a chance to write it again with some less weightage of marks contribution.

another incident one of the boys feeling abdomen pain, already he is had some symptoms of jaundice and he had taken some prescription from nearby health clinic. now as soon as we got the information about him one if us, Girish went to get an autorikshaa so that we can take him to the clinic, but time was too late to get an auto, ultimately the he made some policemen convinced for help and he came to juniors hostel in a police deep.
