Some times with family

Its long time I have spent my time with family.. I mean with any family..
Get up in the morning ... go to office.. come back.. shoot and then study or watch some program in NatGeo .. was feeling like same routine.. every thing same..

Thought to give me a break..

Remembered my young school days.. so many promises... so many friends.. today I find my self all alone in the middle of no where.. where every one is there .. but I dont find any one.. looks like every one is busy .. running after some thing .. I have no idea what is that.. but it is true they have no time for me..


Then thought of some one .. a friend .. who had promised what we will meet again.. because "Dunia Gol hai .. Jahan se nikloge ghum fir ke wahin aake pahuncoge.. " .. ya she was quite true.. out of so many friends.. I think she only continued a true friendship with me..

Last time I had visited her she was @ Vizag .. her hus was a Lt in Indian navy posted in INS Rana..
This time she is @ Bhavnagar.. Her Hus is now posted there.. a Lt Cdr . in Indian Navy .. looking after the engineering aspects of ship bulding for a new ship..

Now she has a young little 2 year old admiral .. Vikramaditya.. going to meet him for the first time.. Admiral sir's demands are .. he likes Cars.. and want one for his collection .. a Gun.. he does not have one .. so desperately wants one..

Okay done dear.. your wishes are going to be fulfilled on 30th ..

Then thought let me take some thing which he will enjoy and both learn out of it.. some rhymes CDs..and alphabet learning CDs. Lets see how much he learns..

I am waiting to meet those people and spend my Friday , Saturday, Sunday, Monday with those sweet family..

I know it is going to be a fun time for all of us..
A lot of talk and old memories.. new learning about navy and other things.. and a lot of fun with Vikram..

MOTODEV Summit @ Leela Palace

It was my great pleasure to be a part of MotoDev Summit at Leela Palace Bangalore on 14th may 2008. After so many years of association with Motorola Inc. it was my first opportunity to be a part of such a big event..

Mobile phones are no longer used as a device for talking.. but with multiple capabilities starting from playing music, scheduling your appointments to e-commerce over mobile (m-commerce) , mobile banking to many hundreds of applications..

To provide all the application by the mobile manufacturing company is very difficult. So Motorola has always encouraged the 3rd party developers to develop software for phones..
This MOTODEV Summit was one more opportunity for the 3rd party developers to learn various aspects of software developments for Motorola Mobile phones.

The event started with grand opening and keynote by Christy Wyatt the Vice President of Software Platforms & Ecosystem.. as usual her confidence and personality always has motivated we Motorolans..

With various sessions by various experts from different group of solutions were conducted..

I was vary glad that MotoMagix and my work WebUI framework was mainly highlighted during this summit and a technology lab session was also conducted for introducing the 3rd party developers with the new tools and technology Motorola offers for them.

I was also accompanied by a friend of mine Akshay who is a gr8 fan of Motorola Phones.

Entrance Exam

Today I was talking to one of my close friend.. Her elder sister's PG in Medical entrance exams results were supposed to come.. but sad.. the governing body have changed the rules.. and so there is a stay..
They are thinking to take MBBS results in to consideration for PG seats..

I remember my student days.. Once we had a subject called "Electronic Components & devices". I had some idea over it..and being over confident I did not study that paper and got avg marks.. I was expecting very good scores out of it.. After the results came I felt bad about it.. and in the holidays I studied that paper again. And without any prep I was able to explain the subjects to my juniors..

If I was supposed to evaluate my standard.. how much I rate from 0 to 5 can I rate my self 3 based on my last exams result or I should rate 5 for my understanding on the subject?

If I feel I should rate 5 then why in the above PG entrance exam, they should consider MBBS marks even after taking the test? Are not they confident on their entrance exam questions?
