Short film & My interview experiences

2007-05-04T23:56:00.000+05:30

Short film making - I heard this from my friend some months ago. He is an aspiring cine director. we did our college together. Now he works for a networking biggie. Seems that he is free most of the times now and using the time, he prepared an one-liner story last week. The complete story and the scripts are getting ready. Tidbit is:- I am also acting??! in that ;)
So, adhu oru comedy subject thaan.. hehe
I will post the status of this sometime if we start the project (ore technical jargons thaan po)

Interviews:
I think I will get enough experience with which I can go write a book on the above mentioned topic.
So far, I have gone through 37(Did I miss any numbers??) interview processes after completing my graduation in 2004.
Interviews are unarguably an unavoidable part of every professional's career. Everyone has their own way/key of cracking inteviews. I wonder, how no one is left jobless at the end of day.
Luck plays a significant role in anybody's life. I started believing the luck-factor completely now-a-days.
I read somewhere that, attitude impinges the luck factor of a person!

Hmm, back to my interviews...
I definitely had some good experience in being interviewed by programmers, leads, technical managers, program managers, HR managers, HR associates, consulting companies, Client-of-the-company-for-which-I-have-applied-for, recruiting agencies, and the list goes on...
Some were funny, most were serious and few were one-sided ;( (not my side obviously)

My overall perception is, If one is technically competent, we can crack almost all the interviews for our job role.
If we are not, still we can make it through proper preparation + good attitude + shrewdness.

More about this topic and my success rate in interviews in the forthcoming posts.

bandh hay bandh !!!

2007-04-01T22:55:00.000+05:30

weekend special post;
Nothing special in this post ! Just my musings.

Yesterday was called off for a full day bandh* by the ruling party and allies in TN against the supreme court's verdict on the reservation case issue. And they said later that the bandh* was a great success. what the heck !
No commutation within tamilnadu. Guess how it would be. And It was great fun driving in chennai city yesterday. Absolutely no traffic, no mamas. jolly o jolly... I touched my maximum speed in my pulsar yesterday (within city limits) - Guess what? Just 110 kmph - I guess it is a big speed for 150 cc machines within city since we cant get the road stretch like freeways!
And in the evening, took a drive on the lovely ECR with friends. played beach cricket for more than two hours. (could see lotsa couples smooching and loving hard on ECR beaches !@!@#E$#@ huh !!! now-a-days)
while returning, interestingly i had a non-official race with some anonymous bikers... it was really thrilling. It continued for a long distance and ended when I took the road to guindy from madhya kailash.

idhukkellam sethu today evening, myself and my friend went to bodygod muneeswarar kovil to put poojai...

all set now ! poojai pottachu !!!! no harms hereafter :)

* bandh - a non english word. donno where from we got that ! could be hindi... It can be related to something like a group's refusal to work in order to press their demands.

1 month - what did I do?

2007-03-07T22:49:00.000+05:30

Huh ! It is almost a month since I blogged. Was I busy???yes... a kind of. but not with office work :D
Past one month, I can comment on two happenings. One is the completion of web component exam and the other one is the kerala trip with my mom and dad. A small vacation after quite a long time. We visited guruvayur, thrissur and kumarakom. We stayed on the banks of vembanad lake. The climate was very hot (chennai is better :( )... But we enjoyed the greenish country a lot. Native people were very good and friendly...
vembanad lake is a huge freshwater lake that connects to the Arabian sea at one side. It is a huge lake with lots of birds staying on the banks. There is a bird sanctuary nearby. One unbelievable thing is that vembanad lake is just 5 / 6 feet deep all over. I tried swimming for some time... but the water was not good near the resorts. It was full of weeds.

BTW, I took this picture myself... Nalla irukka?

folder lock without using any software

2007-02-11T23:54:00.000+05:30

Trick to lock your private folder

Suppose you want to lock the folder games in d: which has the path D:\Games
===>In the same drive create a text file and type

ren games games.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

===>Now save this text file as loc.bat
===>create another text file and type in it

ren games.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} games

===>Now save this text file as key.bat
===>Now you can see 2 batch files loc and key.
===>Press loc and the folder games will change to control panel and you cannot view its contents.
===>Press key and you will get back your original folder.try it out!!!!!!!

PS: I took this from a site...Not my own stuff. This actually seems to be a windows utility. I saw this in that site one guy is claiming that this is his stuff ;) kinda weirdo...

Rock show - IITM saarang 2007

2007-01-30T00:38:00.000+05:30

Just back from Rock show in IITM - SAARANG fest. It was great. We managed to get 120 Rs ticket for 150 Rs (black :( ticket)... The show on a whole was awesome. Amphitheatre was hell packed with dudes and dudettes dancing, jumping, screaming, hugging(Am I in chennai???) for the rock, hip-hops :D numbers from two bands - one is Indian(named Junkyard groove) and another one is french(named Merzhin). I liked the french band much., They made my feet to tap. But the performace of the Indian brand(Junkyard groove) was commendable. They are going to compete with several other international bands like prodigy soon in dubai... Chennai rock band going international :) huh that is great !!!

Karthick's augury :)

2007-01-28T23:33:00.000+05:30

Some twenty years from now:
- Software companies / culture would have spread across most Indian states, atleast to all the cities

- We can expect decent politics and politicians than now. But still the scams, bribing kinda acts wont vansish from the scene completely.

- All other departments in India would give salary in competance with software. Or software salary would get stabilised in the market. By then, software engineers will not be rich. They will just lead a normal life.

- Many foreigners will likely settle down in India than now. Major cities will be truely cosmopoliton.

- Indians will lately realize the importance of agriculture.

- Indo-Americans will be playing some vital role in American politics

- number of Cars will be equal or greater than the number of two wheelers in India

- Caste / Religion will always exist.

- There will not be any need to keep Cell phone, Laptop, Watch, digital camera, music system, TV seperately. Single device with seperate accesories would do everything. Will we call it as camphuter - CAmera + Music + PHone + compUTER- Cost of living will be very high in India than many other countries.

- Indian Work permit (like H1 in US) will be very hot in the market :)

stopping now as I feel sleepy. will update it once I find time. meanwhile readers (yaaravadhu idha padikireengala??) can also post their thoughts.

First entry

2007-01-27T15:14:00.000+05:30

Finally, I have opened up a weblog. I have known the existence of blogs and their usage since 2004 end. I never thought of opening one so far. First time in my life :) , yesterday I felt like writing a haiku(in tamil) and unfortunately I could nowhere store it. Huh ! yesssssssss it is the time to open up a blog.
BTW, for me - Haiku means just three lines of text that gives out an acrid message. It probably wouldn't stick with the traditional haiku rules. And I will be posting it here shortly.
Watch out for all my scribblings, my experiences with the world and all the sh*t that I bother about posted in the coming days!
