Tough time

Today I had the zeroth review of my Final semester project. We(our batch) took a lot of effort to get the data from our guide, formulated the presentation and we did present our topic well but what happened there was quite unexpected, the head was in no mood to understand may be his level of understanding is such (thats usual in Anna University). We tried our level best to clear the doubts and at one extent we really got frustrated with the stupid questions being posted at us.

I really don't know how the heck these people become professors when they have this little knowledge. We had our review for 20 minutes approx, and none of the questions were sensible. I really had an irritating passage of Q&A session as this is the first time I am in for such a process. May be I get used to it. Finally the hard work done by us was made a mockery. I am really confused how to prepare for the next review to tackle these men.


Cheers!!!!!

Festival of Exam

     Its going to be the month of October which marks the start of the grand festival of Examinations. Its really too hard to be an engineering student facing these exams. It all starts with a quiet Model exam then comes the model lab which is followed by the  university lab and last but of  never the less least the University theory examinations.

   In schools this period will be the working days of the second term between quaterly and halfyearly exams, but for us its just exams for this period. Its too hard on us man. Its only 1-2 year difference between school and college but the type of exams ? 

   It will be better if the system is changed by awarding the degree for the students on the basis of their thinking capacity and approach towards their branch of study rather believing in the vomit on the answer paper.

Cheers!!!!!

Implant training at Railways!!!

     I got an opportunity during the 5th semester vacation to visit the EMU workshop @ Avadi which is under the control of Southern Railways.  It was really a tough job to get the permission for this programme.  Once when I entered the workshop I realised that hurdles crossed were of no waste.  It was a well organised training school/workshed where the workers were sincere unlike the other government offices.  I really felt the importance of Industrial visit which was denied by my dept staff members.

Some of the topics which I learnt there was......

• The operation of Traction motor and its importance in EMU.
  
• The testing and working of the compressor.
• The assembling of the compartments.
• The drivers cabin and the equipments which he use to control the train.

     It was a pleasant experience for me to learn the concepts from a set of good hearted workers.
I really thank The Railways for giving me an opportunity to undergo Implant training which really helped me to know the depth of electrical dept...

St. Joseph's Rocks!!!

      TMS is the best!, I am not talking about the alltime great singer but about the best teacher I have ever seen.  His name is Mr. Thayumanavasamy. He handled Chemistry for me for the last four years of my school life.  He stands apart from other teachers as he is the only teacher who taught us about life along with chemistry.  The best part of him is that, one can ask any question in his subject, surely you will be answered.

     The other noticeable fact about this great man is that, if he knows anything completely then only he will speak about it.  We the students of Doveton Corrie are really gifted that we had TMS to mould us when we were in our teenage. If he was not there with me for those four years, then surely I wont be the way I am.  
The qualities of punctuality, honesty, abiding the rules were not taught to us by him but injected into us............

     Important fact about him is that, he is from St. Joseph's College, Tiruchy.  I really want to visit that college which produce gems like this.  Its not only TMS, my biology teacher is also from the same college and lastly my maths lecturer in college is also from this college. These people always stand apart from others and you can feel the difference in them.  ECE students and CSE students in my college will also know about this.  I heard that, the process in that college is very systematic and thats why the students shine really well. I expect even my college(atleast in future) to produce gems like that...

    It started with TMS and went on till my maths lecturer, I hope 
that I will come across many more students of this great college.

   St. Joseph's always rocks!!! 


Cheers!!!!!

Future seems to be dark!!

        In our country the majority of the people belong to the students community.  There is a famous quote stating that, todays children will be tomorrows citizen.  But what is happening to the students, is there anyone to bother about them. Thats why i say that the Future seems to be dark.  People wish that India should become a developed nation.  We all know that it lies only on the hands of the students to lift our standards or to put it down.   But the society expects a lot from the youngsters and don give them what is necessary to them.

      In my point of view,  the most difficult of all times for a student is to attend a class on saturday when all the folks around their house enjoy the weekend.  Most of the Engineering colleges and the schools work for 8 hours a day and five days a week.  The student who attends all the classes without fail will surely be on his knees by friday,  at this juncture if you ask him to work for one more day,  it makes no sense at all.  Yes i agree that hard work should be put up by the students but continous work without rest 
makes them good for nothing.

       There is a famous saying which states"Something is better than nothing", by following this the management makes people work on saturday thinking that they will do nothing at home.  But what i mean to say is that"Nothing is better than Non-Sense".   The student could stay at home rather being physically present in the class due to compulsion. Will it do any good to him or his health..?  The managements can think about the mindset of students and act accordingly..

       Another difficult situation is the holidays with the assignment.  I really don understand the concept of giving assignment during holidays and that too during festivals.  How these staff memebers expect the students to be with their books when they themselves want to enjoy thier holidays, after all everyone is a human being.  Very easily they will say that we had holidays. Does it mean that every student should sacrifice all what he has in order to learn.

       The most pathetic issue is the working saturday as a compensation for a holiday. Fine they are doing this in order to maintain the number of working days. But how is that possible for them to have a compensation for Independence day, don they feel ashamed to do that.  Is this the tribute which we show to our motherland...

       Engineering students are supposed to be professionals, do they get treated as a professional...?
They are been treated as worse as a donkey which carries load for its master.  They are trying to force certain inhuman activities in the name of discipline.  

       But if this state continues then the students of future will surely become lunatic before they get their degree........

       I wish that govt. should take steps in saving the students from the hands of institutions in order to save the country's future.
