Submits assignments on time.	Ahhhhhh! REPEAT : Never submits assignments.
Has an attendance of over 90% (not to the canteen, but to the class).	He has an attendance of less than 9%.
He is different from other students, who manage to come to college or stay only in hostel, maintain an attendance of 100% to college and only 50 % to the class.	His attendance to the class is a single digit number, aided with proxies. However, attendance in the canteen is quite healthy.
He asks doubts in class.	He almost never goes to class. Doubts??
He takes notes in class.	Again, he rarely goes to class and sometimes carries a pen. Not always.

He sits mostly in the front rows.	Rejected! Last row only.
When he takes a leave to college, he submits a leave letter.	He cuts classes, almost two hours a day. He has to submit over 200 or 300 leave letters. China pulla thanama illa iruku.
He also copies notes from other fruits for classes he was absent.	Aiyo! Aiyo! . China pulla thanama illa iruku.
He moves with quite a number of girls in the class, takes print outs for them.	He does not take a print out even for imself.
All girls ask him doubts.	All girls hail him a poriki.
He goes to the library quite often.	He does not know where the library is…
You can never see him at the canteen, unless he waits there to exchange a reference book with a girl.	He resides many hours at the canteen and his lunch break spans over 5 hours. He scores quite poorly in exams.
He never wears jeans.	He always wears jeans (read unwashed jeans)
He never comes late to the class.	Ahhhhhhh. He hardly comes to class, but whenever he comes to class, he is usually late.
He wishes staff, when he crosses them in the corridor.	The staff looks the other side, not intending to see this poriki’s face.
He has a separate notebook for every subject.	Why blood? Same blood! Many notes? Same note.
He uses the internet to search research papers on the net.	{{{{{{{{{censored – this line was removed by the author}}}}}}}}
He never smokes nor drinks, nor participates in sports.	He usually does both and participates in sports, at least for ON DUTY certificates.

GOOGLE BUYS DOUBLECLICK FOR $3.1b [VIEW FULL POST]

Google Adsense is one of the trump cards, Google is riding today in the internet business. It is by far, more superior than the other lesser known competitors. But a massive deal was signed after business hours on Saturday. Believe it or not the deal was more than what was considered a BIG DEAL some time ago – the deal with YOUTUBE.. The YOUTUBE deal was involved a transaction of $ 1.76 b. This time, Google buys doubleclick for $3.1 b.[[[continue]]]

The Double click website was less inviting and was not famous enough to attract much people. Basically this was because, the ad marketers basically targeted medium and large websites, and not blogs. Adding to this, it is a New York based company. The other rivals yahoo and Microsoft were also edging on this deal and Google emerged victorious with its largest acquisition in the history of the giants.

Despite the transaction boosting a healthy morale among the owners, the stock markets took a different view on the issue. Google shares fell a $2.52 in after hours trading.

The beauty of Google was the interactivity it provided with the user and the flexibility. Minimum payouts were also quite low. These were the basic things lacking in double click. Will Google be able to merge double click with Adsense or “the owner’s say” They might probably have it aside and still count on it.

Hearing this, a small portion of my brain putsporth that Google has the same idea, which the operating systems giants had in mind when buying “STAR OFFICE”. The basic idea was to buy it and leave it aside, no more development, no support, and it died over a period of time. MS OFFICE gained over the seats in the PCs. Is Google eying the same? I guess it is an analogous situation, but $3.1 b is too big an amount to leave it aside. And Google is not Microsoft!!

Indian Shares and stocks [VIEW FULL POST]

The BSE index was a little under 10000 January 06 and it was almost one way up and hit the 14500 mark around the start of this year. (peak in first week of February) This is considered a great progress, considering the facts that no other standard index has moved up by almost 50% in a year.

If you had read it keen, you would have noticed the peak. So what follows the peak? The fall of course. Many contribute this fall to the post budget month.

I did a small research and I find that with the data in the past seven years, the index has always taken a blow in the month of march. [[[continue..]]]

Feb 2000 -> 5447	mar 2000 -> 5001
Feb 2001 -> 4245	mar 2001 -> 3604
Feb 2002 -> 3562	mar 2002 -> 3462
Feb 2003 -> 3283	mar 2003 -> 3048
Feb 2004 -> 5667	mar 2004 -> 5590
Feb 2005 -> 6713	mar 2005 -> 6492
Feb 2006 -> 10370	mar 2006 -> 11279
Feb 2007 -> 14090	mar 2007 -> 12938

February is the time to sell your stocks. ( Dont listen to me, seek the expert’s opinions in shares and stocks.)

You could also have seen a tremendous growth in the indices in the past two or three years, and the reason is pretty obvious. SOFTWARE.

Because of this boom, markets are floating too high and will continue to grow higher in the years to follow.

I thought of plunging in to this gambling zone, thought twice about it, and almost set my right foot inside. This was the time, when a very experienced shares and stocks dealer, also my dear uncle, stopped me from plunging in to this gambling zone.

I knew I had to gain some experience and a lot of knowledge in this domain, before jumping in. This is not a grocery shop purchase. There are a lot of jargons you ll need to know. You think you them already?? [what is eps? ]. Probably a starter guide would be of tremendous help. These guides are not text books, but more like a handbook for a starter and are of great use to people, who are getting ready to plunge in here.

Also a share market simulator like moneycontrol.com would be of great use for a student or a fresher.

P.S. If you make a wrong move , or get in to a tight corner , acclimatized by this post, I am not responsible. However, if you gain something out of it, you owe me some. You can gift me anything – cash, cheques, car, paypal, jeans, chocolates and many more. To find out if your gift will be accepted, please e mail barbi.bruce@gmail.com. :-)

BACAMP 3 BANGALORE [VIEW FULL POST]

I had never participated in a unconference. (Microsoft word puts a red line under this word..), not a very popular word. Anyway, more than half the people who registered at this wiki, turned up for this BARCAMP, yours truly and his brother included. My brother, being a member of the KNOWLEDGE FOUNDATION, traveled all way from Chennai to the Silicon Valley, and he was the only person I knew at the barcamp. But I made up a good number of friends, whose blogs I have read, but never met them in person. I have not been to the previous barcamps or any other camps and so I cannot relatively tell you the experience. But on the whole, it was a great experience. The sessions and the people I networked with, and more importantly the thirst for innovation, barcamp3 was truly amazing.



There is even a book by name “UNCONFERENCE”, authored by kiruba and 75 more authors from around the globe, across 8 countries. There was also a session by kiruba and syed at the barcamp3, about this book. Anybody including you, can author that book, coz that book is being written in a wiki as of now. If you have any questions or ideas, you should visit this page and contribute to this wiki. The feeling of having contributed to a book is really great. And to author a book personally, would take a loooot of time ( you know we don’t have it). Also this book can be starter to you. You can author this one and swim on this experience to write your own. This book will be on sale in amazon.com by the end of this year.

Okay, jumping on to this barcamp3, it happened at IIM-B. And the organizers were friendly. All classrooms where the sessions took place were wi-fi connected. They provided all participants with a sticker to write my name on it and paste it on my t-shirt. The sessions were categorized as mobile, internet and social networking. I spent the whole of the day attending sessions on mobile. The innovation I saw at these sessions was mind blowing. One session on active mobs and one another on mchek really was the talk of the day. Highly innovative. It was a two day event, of which I managed to attend only the first day. They also provided free lunch and a YELLOW t shirt, considering the fact that there was no registration fee ...[[view full post]]

Besides these, I networked with a lot of bloggers and innovative people. First I met sagaro and satish. And then I met gitu, and discovered he is also from my organization. Then I met blog king kribs, syed and many others. We had a great time together, in sessions, and off the sessions too. This funny fella, nicked sagaro told stories about my brother and also accidentally uttered one another statement, which still provokes doubts about this fella’s se^ual orientation. On the whole, barcamp3 was great, and things I gained out of it

1. The knowledge from the sessions on mobile
2. The innovation
3. networked with other bloggers
4. YELLOW tshirt

Looking forward for the next unconference. Mostly it will be blogcamp at Chennai around june.
