An Engineers Blog

Continuing my previous post about PC's so the next argument would be whether to purchase a monstrous desktop or to go on with a sleeky laptop.So lets look into what each of them boasts about

Cheaper-the prices are far lower than laptops and you could buy loads of the thigs at a price less than half on what u spend on a lappy.

All Terrain- Desktops with so many features can be considered as all terrain and can be handled roughly under all climatic conditions.

Variable-Say 2 years u have a new processor up in the market ,then u need not spend on many other things like monitor etc.Also the greatest advantage would be with regards to the graphic cards and hard disks which can be changed evry now and then depending on your budget.

Professional Gaming-Though there are few gamers who play on lappy's the best gamers would surely love to work on Desktops with all those graphic cards,Lasers mouse, sexy keyboards etc.



Reliability- Since most of the laptops available in the market are from the best competitors like DELL,HP,SONY,APPLE they are famous for their reliability as can been seen from their quality of products and service they provide.

Portability-The thing which makes LAPPY's the best friend...portability...take it anywhere....to any tour..to any college(incase of tech fests and cul fests) while you are on travel...i mean evrywhere...

"Personal" Computer-Lappys mean more privacy making them more personal ( I spent half of my engineering life with my laptop ).The first thing u wish good morning is ur lappy and the thing with which u sleep during nite is ur lappy.

Gaming Laptops- There also professional gaming laptops available in the market like alienware with high end graphic cards and companies like DELL allow complete customization of every part of the lappy(Working on a DELL Inspiron 6400/E1505).

As for my discussion I am sure you are still not clear which to choose from..so herez my adivce..

If your budget permits and if you are on frequent travel and staying away from home and less interested in gaming then prefer a LAPPY.

And in any other case prefer a DESKTOP.

Though practically they are a lot different from one other in terms of the pricing,features,portability and many other factors.... A laptop is no better than a Desktop if it is on a table instead of ur laps.

"A personal computer (PC) is a computer whose original sales price, size, and capabilities make it useful for individuals, intended to be operated directly by an end user, with no intervening computer operator".

So to define it in an engineers way,itz the only non living thing which induces life into virtually every Homo Sapien on the planet earth.They have revolutanized every aspect of human life and been the best friend till date.

So the first question???Do students require a personal computer?

Itz a completely debatable topic and i will try to put the Pros and Cons of owning a PC

Pros:
The best way to spend your free time
Highly important for academics(most of the courses have lecture slides or have lots of related information on the internet)
Make loads of friends and contact people who are in alien land
The best way to earn money in future(So many job opportunities and having a PC helps a lot)
Knowing a good deal about computers often helps in winning girls

Cons:
You dont have free time once you are addicted to it(I am writing this post 5:30 a.m. just shows how idiotically addicted I am to this lifeless box)
You forget about people around you and live in a world of dreams
Addiction to games especially LAN games and flash games messes up your academics
The best way to screw your life during good times
Talking a lot about computers sometimes makes you look like an idiot in front of girls

So what do i conclude and what advice do you get....
Pretty simple...Get a personal computer and get f'd


P.S: Computers are very essential for day to day life.Apart from the movies , the games,the songs,the chat, the gen stuff you learn a big deal about the world around us in a better way.
Personal computers are very very important for any engineering student irrespective of the discipline(branch in some colleges)

Bikes,Personal Computers,Movies,Girls,LAN Games,Chatting,Cricket,One night Stands,Tours and loads of other stuff...will keep editing as i come across...

Though I am not an expert in describing each one of these...i will give my advice to the best of my knowledge....So every post from now,I would be discussing about one of these features a general engineering student must have and how they shld be different from others

ADVICE

Keep track of this blog

The first question I have to ask myself ...y am i Blogging????

Many reasons ...Wanna make the world know about me(Gtalk helps a lot in spreading the message)

Secondly...There is a drastic improvement in our writing skills(helps for future examinations)

And thirdly F.Y.I there are people who earn more than 10000$ per month only thru their blogs(approx 4 lacs p.m INR ) ..beleive me itz per month and not per annum...
So whatz in a blog through which they can earn...
Itz pretty simple..More the number of viewers more the possibility of they clicking the ads and Google (and many other companies) pays every1 in the form of Adsense...

I never beleived that companies pay us...that to in a country like INDIA and that to for students without a credit/debit card...But they do pay...

Proof: Recently seen cheques of 500$(approx 20,000 INR) by Google

So U mite be thinking whatz in it for an engineer and what kinda advice am i getting from here???

Pretty simple start Blogging and earn money


P.S: Waiting for my First Cheque

Ahhhh finally my intro ends...and so i will start speaking abt so many things from now....
And remember i will try to hype things ...so another advice
Lite teesuko

Advice Advice and Advice that's what you get when u became a winner....whom to listen???
Many said i was apt for medicine but i had my eyes on engineering...so joined one the best concentration camps in Andhra Pradesh-"Narayana Junior College"...

As everyone does started with JEE coaching...After studying an year there i decided no more JEE coachin....I am a guy who is good at memorizing things ,then y take risk of an Entrance exam...better prepare for the coolest thing Intermediate Public Examination and get into BITS my dream college(it was indeed my dream to get into BITS from class 6..Courtesy a good teacher i knew)

It was the wrong move i made......when i changed my coll(another branch of NARAYANA) to only intermediate without any coaching for entrance exam came a shock....

To everyone's surprise BITS stopped taking admissions via 12 class marks and started a new entrance examination BITSAT

I was in a No Mans Land....I had to fight back and indeed i did....i took up our state entrance examination(EAMCET) coaching...it was hard work all along....but at the end i was the winner cleared BITSAT and entered BITS with a degree in B.E(Hons) Civil Engineering


So Herez my advice

Life has itz ups and downs and the winners are those who never give up...

As is said before LIFE IS ALL ABOUT MAKING FRIENDS...

I had many but the two guys VENKAT and SADANAND changed my life....ourz is the best trio possible...one who does evrything except studying...one who has girls flocking arnd him...and one who has spent all his time trying to become and engineer(myself).... I enjoy every second i spend with them...

Our first hurdle was clearing the BOARD examinations...Itz never easy to s,girlstudy in such company and worst part making them study.....But my destiny had different plans...I became the school topper(i love hyping things) and they lucky fellows(just replaced the B word)....cleared with a first class...

So here comes my advice

If i had said no to our combined studies i would never had been the topper(no one in my school has broken the record till date)..It was their support and inspiration that got the best out of me...

So itz truly said that a Friend in need is a friend indeed

My initial posts are a bit different from what my blog TITLE says....But spare with me coz i had learnt many valauble lessons..

I was not a typical guy....I had all the bad habits that a school topper shouldnt have..I did my schooling from St.Joseph's High School...another catholic missionary school where excelling at sports and debating like a professional was more important than getting good marks in exams...sadly i sucked at both except getting good marks...
I had my solace in my friends ...I was good at making friends(still i am) and also breaking them..

When i left my school it was one of the worst feelings i ever had...A class of 55 with more than 40 people whom i meet even today shows how badly i miss all of them..

Here comes My advice number one regarding friendship

Itz important to learn that life is all about making friends...never break a friendship even if it breaks you

And Advice number two

They say choose your friends wisely....It never happens.....

Advice number three

I have so many friends who booze and drink and do lots of idiotic stuff...All this crap starts at school level and reaches itz pinnacle during graduation... And many people blame their company for entering that domain..I got only one thing to say "Have control on yourself"

The first doubt to arise after seeing my post...who is this guy who claims to know a lot abt an engineers life...K here goes my Intro

Arvind Thatikonda
M.Sc(Hons) Mathematics + B.E(Hons) Computer Science
Birla Institute of Techonlogy and Science,Pilani

hahahaha...enuf of this crap...i m a guy doin my engineering from the best private college in INDIA (Courtesy :Outlook Rankings)

I have had my high's and lows in this coll...and my blog would be abt advices which i can give on the basis of my experience...

A television pilot is a test episode of an intended television series. It is an early step in the development of a television series, much like pilot lights or pilot studies serve as precursors to start of larger activity. Networks use pilots to discover whether an entertaining concept can be successfully realized. After seeing this sample of the proposed product, networks will then determine whether the expense of additional episodes is justified. They are best thought of as prototypes of the show that is to follow, because elements often change from pilot to series

So let us c how my blog goes on....as my previous experiences at blogging were terrible,this time i decided to blog about what i m best at.... Giving advice....so check out for my advices to how to live life as an engineer with enjoyment as the utmost priority
