which i read casually was attracted at the end, this is an article about a person residing in coimbatore. Mr Aravind Subramaniam who is aged just 26, has dedicated his lifetime for lord sastha(Incarnation of Lord Ayyappa) and had published the book named Sri Maha Sastha Vijayam.

Am very much impressed to see a complete works on lord sastha, am yet to read the book.Yet I would suggest every ardent devotee of lord ayyappa to visit this site and purchase the book, this book i believe, contains the rarest collection of the lord which every devotee must be proud to have one.

CAPTCHA

2008-05-04T21:00:00.003+05:30

For the last few days, I have been trying to use CAPTCHA on websites . I can’t seem to get it right !! And I don’t know how many people actually do. I mean if we can’t get it right after one, two, three, wait upto five tries, then something is terribly wrong.

While these few images may not be as testing as the other ones I encountered, it at least demonstrates that CAPTCHA is getting ridiculous.

Not all websites are bad. Just some. But it is progressively getting worse. Not so long before someone in the US files a lawsuit against these people for harassment over the Internet.

Approaching the job market

2008-04-23T16:01:00.000+05:30

The most important prerequisite for a job search and to approach the job market is to have a clear,crisp and realistic goal.When you are sure about what type of job you want,What is your salry expectation,in which region you like to work,only then you are ready to face the job market head on.With all these information in hand you can probably make a genine case to the prospective employer to hire you for that particular job.If you are not ready with all these information ,then start finding it out.You should analyse yourself based on your knowledge,experience,qualification your family commitments and most essential your capabilities,talents and skills.Unless you are ready with all these important information you are not ready for job search.

You will be wasting time in searching for something,which you are not sure of.If you know what you want,where you can find it and how you can get it,then you are a success,for which a clear goal is to be set as a starting point and also the target.

In the market of jobs,about 80%of the available jobs are never advertised.Thats put you at real disadvantage in this highly competitive job market.If you are not exposed to these opportunities,you surely have no access to these interviews.How can you increase your chances of the jobs you want.

GOOGLE Data Centres

2008-04-15T21:24:00.002+05:30

Google’s data infrastructure is massive and spread across the world. All that Web crawling, indexing, and searching takes enormous amounts of computing power, not to mention everyone pounding away at Gmail, Google Apps, Blogger, Google Reader, and every other project dreamed up at the Googleplex. But where are all of these data centers and how many are there? Google doesn’t really say. But that doesn’t keep people from trying to figure it out. Here is a map of all known Google data centers, including spaces it leases and that are under construction. in Russia and South America. Future data center sites may include Taiwan, Malaysia, Lithuania, and Blythewood, South Carolina, where Google has reportedly bought 466 acres of land.

E-mail Best practices

2008-04-12T08:21:00.001+05:30

1.Prevent virus outbreaks and spam

Viruses are often spread through e-mail. You can greatly reduce the spread of e-mail viruses by using antivirus software, using only e-mail services that offer automatic antivirus protection (such as AOL, Google, Hotmail, and Yahoo), opening e-mail only from trusted sources, opening only attachments you're expecting, and scanning attached files with antivirus software before opening them.

Spam is loosely defined as unsolicited bulk e-mail and loosely correlates to the junk mail that turns up in your home mailbox. But spam represents more than unwanted clutter. It clogs e-mail accounts—and networks and servers—while trying to sell products, spread jokes, or propagate Internet hoaxes.

Reduce the amount of spam you receive by being cautious where you post your e-mail address. Avoid publishing your e-mail address on Web sites or submitting it to every site or organization that requests it.

Never forward chain messages, which often reveal coworkers’ and colleagues’ e-mail addresses to other parties. Use caution when accepting e-mail offers or agreeing to accept mailings from vendors; subscribe only to Web sites and newsletters you really need and consider creating a generic Hotmail or Yahoo e-mail account for these subscriptions.

Don’t open unsolicited e-mail. If you accidentally open spam, don’t click links offering to unsubscribe or remove you from the mailing list unless the sender is a trusted vendor

2. Avoid phishing attacks

Phishing scams are designed to steal consumers’ personal information. They often use doctored and fraudulent e-mail messages to trick recipients into divulging private information, such as credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords, and even social security numbers.

Online banking and e-commerce are generally safe, but you should always be careful about divulging personal and corporate information over the Internet. Phishing messages often boast real logos and appear to have come from the actual organization, but those messages are frequently nothing more than copyright infringements and faked addresses. If you suspect a message possesses any credibility, you are much safer calling the company directly—preferably at a telephone number printed on a paper statement or invoice—and talking to an authorized representative.

3.Manage your Inbox

Sort messages by priority, subject, date, sender, and other options to help find important e-mail that requires your attention. Proper e-mail etiquette dictates that you respond to all e-mail in a timely fashion. Generally speaking, you should respond to all professional e-mail within a business day, even if it’s just to say you’ve received the message and will look into the matter. Occasionally, you may receive an e-mail thread that contains responses from several people; always read the entire thread before responding.

4.Compose professional messages

Writing subject lines can be tricky, but you should always include one. The goal is to summarize the message without being too wordy or too vague. Long subjects tend to be skimmed or ignored, and they don’t always fully display in e-mail viewers. For best readability, use sentence case for subject lines rather than all caps:

Agenda for meeting on 02/03/2008

Not

AGENDA FOR MEETING ON 02/03/2008

5.Properly use CC and BCC

The carbon copy (CC) and blind carbon copy (BCC) features found in most e-mail clients allow you to send copies of an e-mail to others you need to keep informed but who aren’t necessarily the primary recipients.

When copying others, be certain the e-mail message pertains to them. If you use e-mail address lists, verify that all of the members of the list should receive the e-mail, too, and remove those who don’t need to be included. And use the BCC feature sparingly. If sensitive topics require BCCing others, it may be best to take the matter offline and discuss it in person.

7.Obey etiquette rules when forwarding messages

Before you forward an e-mail, make sure that all recipients need to receive the message. In addition, be careful when forwarding sensitive or confidential information. Never forward proprietary information to external audiences or to unauthorized recipients. Before clicking the Send button, review whether a message’s contents are appropriate for each listed recipient.

8.Don't be a party to a flame war

Flame wars are heated e-mail exchanges that are more emotional than reasoned, and they have no place in professional communications. If you receive a flame or suddenly find yourself in a flame war, take a little time

before responding, if you respond at all. Think about the situation and reply rationally not emotionally.

You may also decide not to reply but to deal with the issue in person. Often, flame wars are started because of a simple misunderstanding. An ill-phrased comment (or even a well phrased one) can be misconstrued by a recipient, who then fires off a salvo in response. Instead of replying, go talk to the person and discuss the message. If talking with the person doesn’t end the problem, involve a manager for assistance in resolving the issue offline.

9.Protect e-mail addresses

Don't divulge your coworkers’ e-mail addresses to vendors, friends, or others outside the organization. Verify that recipients listed in the To and CC fields should be receiving messages and that you won't be revealing others' e-mail addresses in the process. Don't post your or coworkers’ e-mail addresses on Internet forums or bulletin boards, on Usenet groups, in chat rooms, or in other public areas.

Here are a couple of simple ways to help keep others’ e-mail addresses private. First, use the BCC feature when you need to hide their e-mail addresses from external audiences. Second, delete their addresses from messages you forward. It takes only a few moments and will reduce the chances of coworkers’ e-mail addresses proliferating in the wild.

10.Be smart about handling attachments

E-mail attachments consume inordinate amounts of e-mail server space and network bandwidth and are often the culprits behind virus outbreaks—but they're often the easiest way to transfer files. Just be sure to follow these guidelines when e-mailing attachments:

1. Don’t attach large files to an e-mail.

2. Limit the number of files you attach to a message to five or fewer.

3. Save attachments to your hard drive and then delete the e-mail message containing the attachment.

4. Don’t open unexpected attachments or those sent by unknown parties.

5. Always scan files with an antivirus program before opening an attachment. Never click an attachment without first confirming that it’s virus-free.

6. Don't annoy recipients by forwarding attachments they can’t access. If an attachment requires a new or less-common application, say so in your message.

11.Don't include sensitive or potentially embarrassing information

Don't make the mistake of thinking your e-mails are private. They're not. Think of them as postcards. You should never include any information in an e-mail that you wouldn’t want published on the front page of your local newspaper. In other words, never send confidential, proprietary, sensitive, personal, or classified information through e-mail. You should also refrain from making inflammatory, emotionally charged comments in e-mail.

12.Know when to use e-mail (and when not to)

Businesses provide e-mail for professional, business-related use, not for jokes, gossip, or chain e-mails. Also remember that you shouldn't send an e-mail to do a conversation's work. Complicated subjects are often difficult to explain face to face, much less in an e-mail. Instead of firing off a complicated explanation via e-mail, set up a short meeting to address the issue in person.

E-mail is also a poor stand-in for conversation when conducting critical, difficult, and/or unpleasant discussions, such as issues related to human resources matters. Touchy communications are best handled in person.

13.Hoaxes, scams, and urban legends - the downside of email

Email hoaxes are the online equivalent of urban legends. Email hoaxes may entail a variety of subjects from virus warnings to false stories of plans to start taxing email. Often they are harmless in nature, but they can cause unnecessary chaos and sometimes fear. Most people have good intentions when they forward these email messages. They are probably unaware that they are circulating an email hoax.

It is important to recognize when you receive a hoax so that you can play a part in stopping it from spreading. With email hoaxes, it is often difficult to distinguish whether or not it is truth. Many sound like they are doing you a favour by warning you of something dangerous (a computer virus, medical risk, etc.). The email will often look legitimate by falsely citing reputable sources.

Here are some questions to consider if you suspect an email may be a hoax:

· Does the email suggest that you email it to everyone you know?

· Does the email start out by saying 'This is not a hoax'?

· Can you see that the email has already been forwarded through a lengthy chain of people?

· Does the email cite a source (i.e. CNN) but no date that the info was released or link to that source's web site?

· Does the email sound too good to be true? (i.e. Microsoft will pay you $5 for everyone you send this to)

· Does the email have an 'urgent warning'?

· Does the email ask you to delete files?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, you may be dealing with an email hoax.

Before you consider forwarding any email that asks you to forward it to anyone else you should be able to do the following:

· Verify the original date the message was created and sent.

· Verify the original sender of the message.

· Verify any quotes made by any organizations mentioned with specific URL's (web addresses) that backup the claims made in the message.

· If the e-mail is for a cause, be able to verify the date of any action mentioned and/or the specific piece of legislation that is mentioned

· Just Google it to find out whether it is a HOAX or NOT

ONE HOUR WITH WARREN BUFFET

2008-04-06T11:50:00.001+05:30

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Here are some very interesting aspects of his life: 4

1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!

2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.

3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha , that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.

4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.

5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.

6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis. He has given his CEO's only two rules. Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.

8. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.

9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.

His advice to young people : "Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself and
Remember:

A. Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.
B. Live your life as simple as you are.
C. Don't do what others say, just listen to them, but do what makes you feel good.
D. Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in which you feel comfortable.
E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on things that you really need.
F. After all it's your life, then why give others the chance to rule your life."

50 Most common questions asked in interviews with answers.

2008-03-23T15:00:00.001+05:30

1. Tell me about yourself:
The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short
statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound
rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise.
Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to
the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest
back and work up to the present.

2. Why did you leave your last job?
Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major
problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers
or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep
smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an
opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking
reasons.

3. What experience do you have in this field?
Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for.
If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.

4. Do you consider yourself successful?
You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good
explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are
on track to achieve the others.

5. What do co-workers say about you?
Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific
statement or a paraphrase will work. Jill Clark, a co-worker at Smith
Company, always said I was the hardest workers she had ever known. It
is as powerful as Jill having said it at the interview herself.

6. What do you know about this organization?
This question is one reason to do some research on the organization
before the interview. Find out where they have been and where they are
going. What are the current issues and who are the major players?

7. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?
Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide
variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement.
Have some good ones handy to mention.

8. Are you applying for other jobs?
Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus
on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is
a distraction.

9. Why do you want to work for this organization?
This may take some thought and certainly, should be based on the
research you have done on the organization. Sincerity is extremely
important here and will easily be sensed. Relate it to your long-term
career goals.

10. Do you know anyone who works for us?
Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This
can affect your answer even though they asked about friends not
relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well thought
of.

11. What kind of salary do you need?
A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if
you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like,
That’s a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position?
In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not,
say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide
range.

12. Are you a team player?
You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready.
Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the team rather
than for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude. Do not brag,
just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point.

13. How long would you expect to work for us if hired?
Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work: I’d like
it to be a long time. Or As long as we both feel I’m doing a good job.

14. Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?
This is serious. Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you
like to fire people. At the same time, you will do it when it is the
right thing to do. When it comes to the organization versus the
individual who has created a harmful situation, you will protect the
organization. Remember firing is not the same as layoff or reduction in
force.

15. What is your philosophy towards work?
The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here.
Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done? Yes. That’s the
type of answer that works best here. Short and positive, showing a
benefit to the organization.

16. If you had enough money to retire right now, would you?
Answer yes if you would. But since you need to work, this is the type
of work you prefer. Do not say yes if you do not mean it.

17. Have you ever been asked to leave a position?
If you have not, say no. If you have, be honest, brief and avoid saying
negative things about the people or organization involved.

18. Explain how you would be an asset to this organization
You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to
highlight your best points as they relate to the position being
discussed. Give a little advance thought to this relationship.

19. Why should we hire you?
Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not
mention any other candidates to make a comparison.

20. Tell me about a suggestion you have made
Have a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted
and was then considered successful. One related to the type of work
applied for is a real plus.

21. What irritates you about co-workers?
This is a trap question. Think real hard but fail to come up with
anything that irritates you. A short statement that you seem to get
along with folks is great.

22. What is your greatest strength?
Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples:
Your ability to prioritize, Your problem-solving skills, Your ability
to work under pressure, Your ability to focus on projects, Your
professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your positive attitude

23. Tell me about your dream job.
Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you
are contending for is it, you strain credibility. If you say another
job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied with
this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something
like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and
can’t wait to get to work.

24. Why do you think you would do well at this job?
Give several reasons and include skills, experience and interest.

25. What are you looking for in a job?
See answer # 23

26. What kind of person would you refuse to work with?
Do not be trivial. It would take disloyalty to the organization,
violence or lawbreaking to get you to object. Minor objections will
label you as a whiner.

27. What is more important to you: the money or the work?
Money is always important, but the work is the most important. There is
no better answer.

28. What would your previous supervisor say your strongest point is?
There are numerous good possibilities:
Loyalty, Energy, Positive attitude, Leadership, Team player, Expertise,
Initiative, Patience, Hard work, Creativity, Problem solver

29. Tell me about a problem you had with a supervisor
Biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of
your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former
boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and
develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.

30. What has disappointed you about a job?
Don’t get trivial or negative. Safe areas are few but can include:
Not enough of a challenge. You were laid off in a reduction Company did
not win a contract, which would have given you more responsibility.

31. Tell me about your ability to work under pressure.
You may say that you thrive under certain types of pressure. Give an
example that relates to the type of position applied for.

32. Do your skills match this job or another job more closely?
Probably this one. Do not give fuel to the suspicion that you may want
another job more than this one.

33. What motivates you to do your best on the job?
This is a personal trait that only you can say, but good examples are:
Challenge, Achievement, Recognition

34. Are you willing to work overtime? Nights? Weekends?
This is up to you. Be totally honest.

35. How would you know you were successful on this job?
Several ways are good measures:
You set high standards for yourself and meet them. Your outcomes are a
success.Your boss tell you that you are successful

36. Would you be willing to relocate if required?
You should be clear on this with your family prior to the interview if
you think there is a chance it may come up. Do not say yes just to get
the job if the real answer is no. This can create a lot of problems
later on in your career. Be honest at this point and save yourself
future grief.

37. Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead ofyour own?
This is a straight loyalty and dedication question. Do not worry about
the deep ethical and philosophical implications. Just say yes.

38. Describe your management style.
Try to avoid labels. Some of the more common labels, like progressive,
salesman or consensus, can have several meanings or descriptions
depending on which management expert you listen to. The situational
style is safe, because it says you will manage according to the
situation, instead of one size fits all.

39. What have you learned from mistakes on the job?
Here you have to come up with something or you strain credibility. Make
it small, well intentioned mistake with a positive lesson learned. An
example would be working too far ahead of colleagues on a project and
thus throwing coordination off.

40. Do you have any blind spots?
Trick question. If you know about blind spots, they are no longer blind
spots. Do not reveal any personal areas of concern here. Let them do
their own discovery on your bad points. Do not hand it to them.

41. If you were hiring a person for this job, what would you look for?
Be careful to mention traits that are needed and that you have.

42. Do you think you are overqualified for this position?
Regardless of your qualifications, state that you are very well
qualified for the position.

43. How do you propose to compensate for your lack of experience?
First, if you have experience that the interviewer does not know about,
bring that up: Then, point out (if true) that you are a hard working
quick learner.

44. What qualities do you look for in a boss?
Be generic and positive. Safe qualities are knowledgeable, a sense of
humor, fair, loyal to subordinates and holder of high standards. All
bosses think they have these traits.

45. Tell me about a time when you helped resolve a dispute betweenothers.
Pick a specific incident. Concentrate on your problem solving technique
and not the dispute you settled.

46. What position do you prefer on a team working on a project?
Be honest. If you are comfortable in different roles, point that out.

47. Describe your work ethic.
Emphasize benefits to the organization. Things like, determination to
get the job done and work hard but enjoy your work are good.

48. What has been your biggest professional disappointment?
Be sure that you refer to something that was beyond your control. Show
acceptance and no negative feelings.

49. Tell me about the most fun you have had on the job.
Talk about having fun by accomplishing something for the organization.

50. Do you have any questions for me?
Always have some questions prepared. Questions prepared where you will be an asset to the organization are good. How soon will I be able to be productive? and What type of projects will I be able to assist on? are
examples.

Do you use VLC Media Player? Be Careful

2008-03-23T11:20:00.000+05:30

2 days ago TorrentFreak published a post stating that VLC Player might be vulnerable to Remote Hijack which means that if you are one of the users who use VLC player then it is most likely that a 3rd party hacker can take control of your machine while sitting on another machine.

Many users have a liking for VLC Media Player, also known as VideoLAN player, as it can nearly play any possible media file format without the need of extra addons or plugins. It is open-source and that is probably how a hacker must have discovered the security loop hole.

The hole gets exploited from a subtitle file buffer overflow (which means that users who use subtitle files are vulnerable to remote attacks while the ones who avoid subtitle files are safe and secure). The other security hole is platform independant i.e. VLC Player users on both Mac and Windows are vulnerable. To make sure your PC is secure from remote attacks, use the nightly builds or just uninstall it until a security update is provided.

SAVE YOUR COMPUTER FROM USB VIRUSES

2008-03-21T18:23:00.001+05:30

I know how hard it is to keep a PC safe from viruses and trojans as nearly every pen drive carries some undetectable and auto-multiplying virus. Especially in college, where I have to constantly exchange pen drives, it becomes hard to keep my pen drive and clean.

Mostly the viruses that multiply through pendrives use the autorun function of pendrive as it does not require any user confirmation and runs secretly in the background, unlike a CD or DVD.

The best way to keep USB viruses from injecting themselves to your PC or laptop is to Disable the USB Autorun feature and I will teach you how to do it.

Click the Start button, then Run and enter “gpedit.msc” without the quotes
Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System
Scroll down to “Turn off Autoplay” and double click on it
Click on the “Enabled” radio button, then for “Turn off Autoplay on” select “All drives”

This will now prevent any virus from auto executing itself through a USB drive. Additionaly, it is recommeneded to keep a good free anti virus solution too for additional security e.g. http://www.free-av.com

Campus Interview Tips

Interview tips

In an interview the art of conversation is perhaps the most valuable attribute since an interview is nothing but a verbal dues between a selector and candidate.A good conversation is contingent on the rapport a candidate establishes with the interview board. The process of a rapport building must start from the moment one knocks at the selector's door. A gentle, soft knock is always called for before entering the room. A smile and a greeting have to consequently follow one's entry. Developing eye contact from the beginning is very essential to overcome nervousness and hide tension The first impression one creates goes a long way in the ultimate selection/rejection of oneself. One's steps should be measured and greeting formal. The candidate's bearing should be that of a person who is eager to tackle the most difficult questions.
The first step towards improving conversational ability is to realize the basic fact that the other party is a poor listener and one has to exercise all ability and ingenuity to not only hold the party's attention but also to convincingly project a positive image of oneself. There are numerous impediments to good listening.

The most relevant impediment is distraction. Under no circumstance should any action on the candidate's part cause the interviewer any distraction. Distractions are generally caused by flashy dresses, exaggerated and aimless gestures and nervous movement such as frequently shifting one's position on the chair, blinking, drumming on the table with finger tips, wiping perspiration from face or forehead, scratching one's head, giggling nervously, cracking one's knuckles, too, much waving of hands and so on.

There are three primary components in conversation: Voice, delivery and words, Besides these, there are other elements which accentuate one's personality during conversation. Among these are general appearance and manners. A good personality in the context of an interview is the sum total, of all the positive aspects minus the negative aspects.
The interviewer' s business is to try and expose an interviewee' s weakness. Hence the interviewee' s endeavor shall be to project his positive qualities in a convincing and pleasing manner, and he can do so through the spoken word.
The tone of delivery should be normal and the volume should be in accordance with the distance. The delivery pace should be optimal i.e. neither fast nor slow. Proper spacing of words with periodical pauses helps in emphasizing appropriate words preventing the talks from being monotonous and boring. The candidate should not rush his answers. He must let his words and sentences sink and make an impact on the selector. The sentences should be short and the languages simple.

Successful conversation demands clear thinking, expressed in concise and grammatically correct language, which must convey facts in an easily understandable and interesting manner.
The interview panel comprises normally 3 members mostly professors of the IIM's concerned. The normal interview time per candidate is 20-25 minutes. Let us stress the point that the members of the panel, as a rule, have a very cordial; manner and will try their best to make you feel at home, Since your have made it in their stiff written test (You are among the 1,800 out of about 40,000 students) they know that you are a competent student; they are only eager to see you as a person and to ascertain for themselves if you do reflect some of your competence in a face to face situation.
The most searching questions you can imagine during an interview are on :

Your Field of Study
Your General Awareness
Your Career Plan
Your Hobbies
Your Strengths / Weaknesses

Unless you are really dimwitted person (which you aren't we're sure) you should be able to guess realistically, about 80 percent of the questions any interviewer could possibly ask you.

Microsoft crazy facts

2008-03-14T18:02:00.004+05:30

1 :Nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer named as "CON".
This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable. ..

Explanation for 1:

In windows the folder name and the special system variables share the same interface, so
when you create a folder with a system variable name it will consider that folder already
exist!!
these special system variables are available irrespective of path
You cannot create a folder with these names also:
CON, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3,COM1 to COM9 and LPT1 to LPT9....
CON means console, COM1 means serial port 1, LPT1 means parallel port 1

2:This is something pretty cool and unbelievable. ..
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
and then press ENTER

3:For those of you using Windows, do the following:
1. Open an empty notepad file
2. Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3. Save it as whatever you want.
4. Close it, and re-open it.
is it just a really weird bug?

You can try the same thing above with another sentence "this app can break"

Being DYNAMIC

2008-02-17T00:16:00.004+05:30

Being Dynamic !" Dynamic ", What does the word mean and why I have to speak about it now ??As per the standard dictionary, dynamic means " Characterized by continuous change, activity, or progress "I considered myself to be dynamic at my junctures of my life. When I have to take decisions over alternatives I always fluster; not because I am not sure about what to select, but because I am really capable of doing many of the alternatives.Being into 'organizing and managing responsibilites' right from my school days, I rather became a well known organizer than a prize-winning participant. I loved taking in pressure. Even though I din't get proper recognitions or rewards for all my contributions, still my self-motivating attitude keep me going.In my school though i was a hard worker i didnot work smartly.I was not indeed a smart worker.Though i worked hard i could not get good marks in my public examinations, i felt very ashamed.people started to critisize me."I was a fit for nothing".That day, I questioned myself "For whom and why did I took so much pain all these years ? For what reason I wasn't one of the toppers, who took away the credits for all my work ? Why I wasn't recognized ?" But, there were no satisfying answers. That night I decided am going to do no more hard work which made me fail to recognize my dedication.Now am selected in TCS and am one among the top three in my class.Now people,friends ,relatives ...... everyone recognize me. This is a fruit for my hardwork. I often remember a telling within myself and it goes as

Vetriyai thedi alaintha podhu "Veen Muyarchi" endravargal
Vetri kidaitha pin "Vida Muyarchi" engirargal

hlk

I often tell this to myself,I never mind, I live fighting with life and I never let myselves

down.Then now after 2 and half years of struggle Perhaps, I got a *decent* and *interesting* job in TCS. Slowly I became sick of software jobs,and now started calling them "slavery". I wanted to make use the opportunities that come in my way, as Jason Bourne said " Opportunites present themselves, recognize them!"

Ok Ok Ok.. all are confined to security space, but still they are different things... Hence my brain works "Dynamic!".

I be in college from 8.45am - 4.35 pm, leaving the 1.5 hours for lunch, tea and relaxation.. its atleast 6.5 hours I put my brain under different task mode. Once I get out of college i reach home and my brain goes into different kind of mode, it concentration level rises to 200% to wades up and down. Once I am in home, I subject my brain to different activites including a few of the above said books.(only once in a while) And finally, before going to sleep my brain is put into thinking about the most important thing... MY FUTURE! It works DYNAMIC!
