Is this life????

I started to get bored of my day to day activities. Everyday I am forced to meet stupid people just for a simple reason money . This machine life is making me get irritated. No time to spend with dear ones and not even do my other personal works. Office office office is this how I should live? I just started to think of a better way to make my life a happy and loving one. But I wonder how I can do it

Blog Adda – The most annoying way of verification

Many of you may wonder what the last post is about and why I wrote it… This is how a blog managing service “Blog Adda” verifies the blog. Their whole idea of helping the bloggers is great. But isn’t this way of verification annoying? They will verify my blog only if I post something about them??? I think this is a very bad idea. Hope those guys will find a better way of verification soon…

MBR Recovery

I recently tried to install Ubuntu in my external hard disk using my laptop. The installation was successful but the gurb (a boot manager) got installed in my laptop hard disk’s MBR. So I was not able to boot my laptop without external hard disk .
Then I found something called super grub disk. If you ever have problem with MBR just download it  and write it to a cd. Boot from the CD and follow the instructions. Using it you can fix MBR or configure it. Hope this will be useful

NetBeans IDE

I just checked the NetBeans IDE for python. Its really cool. This one supports syntax highlighting, auto-complete, and also checks for syntax errors for most languages. Its convenient than most other IDE’s that will be specific for a particular language. The most exciting thing is that it is a open source software . Check out the links below for the latest release of NetBeans:

Uniphore- A good place to learn

I am now working in Uniphore, Chennai. Its a start-up company in the field of telecommunication. We are a team of 10 people. I think start-up companies are the best places where you learn things. They don’t waste time in name of training. Self learning is the only choice you have. So things are going interesting here I am sure one day these guys will be one of the top companies and i’ll be one among them

Am back

Sorry every one. Its long time since i made a post. I was busy searching for a job these days so didn’t post anything. Now am back…

My Interview At ALCATEL

ALCATEL is a leading MNC in Tele-communication field. One day I got a mail forwarded by my college’s placement officer. I was asked to mail my resume to a person working at ALCATEL. Our college friends didn’t have any idea about that company and we just forwarded our resume. Then we just left that topic. One morning I was shocked to see that the 1st round (Apptitude) was at Chennai on the next day. I was in my home town (Nearly 500 km away from Chennai). Then I packed my things in a hurry and started to Chennai that afternoon. I planned to go to Madurai (my nearest city) and then go to Chennai from there. Unfortunately I got into a government bus. I reached Chennai the next day. I refreshed myself and went to the venue as they mentioned in my mail. Actually I was the only person from my college. All others taught it to be a worthless company. But after going there I came to know that they are the No.1 in Tele-Communication field. I went to the exam hall ( It was actually their canteen ). Then they gave me the question paper. “1st round had 3 sections. 1st section had 30 questions from C-lang to be completed in 30 min. 2nd sec. had 30 ques. from C++ to be completed in 30 min. 3rd had 60 general aptitude questions to be completed in same 30 min “. They gave the ques. for next section only after the time alloted for the previous section was over. I forgot to mention a thing. ” Wrong answers will be awarded negative marks “. I did C and C++ sec on my own. Then the 3rd was mostly guess work because I was sure that I will never complete 60 ques. in 30 min. The exam was over and we were told to leave the hall. They told me that they will intimate the selected candidates before 8 p.m. of that day. I then went to beach to relax myself Then by 7.50 p.m. I got a call that I’m selected for the next round and was told to come to their office the next by 1.30 p.m.

I went there the next day. “The next phase had 3 rounds- 2 technical and 1 H.R. round. In 1st Technical they asked about the project done in our final sem. Then some ques. in C and C++. They also told me to write a few programs and to debug some programs. They also asked me the size of variables such as INT, FLOAT,… I managed it. In the 2nd technical rnd also the concentrated on C and C++ only. Then the H.R. round was a bit like stress management round “. I managed to answer them. They told me that they will intimate the selected candidates within a week. But I didn’t get through the process. Bad luck for ALCATEL Hey friends “make sure you will be able to answer any questions in a language you are going to tell them that you are good in and if your project is in computer field make sure you will be able to answer any questions they ask”. All the best
