Today it was the 9th MGPA.....

It was the 9th MGPA today...... and it was already intimated that one of the Student Assessment Assignments(SAA) was to come for the test...... At one extreme, it was a matter to be happy about..... because these problems were already worked upon and I was familiar with them...... but at the other extreme, some of the problems like the 14th, 15th and the 16th assignment problems... I still have difficulty in solving them.... But then.... nobody has yet solved the 15th and the 16th one..... They are really tough stuff... and must be out of place if given in MGPAs......!!!!!!!
I've heard that some people have got over the 14th one.... but still that stuff is yet too good for MGPA.. In the rest of the assignment problems I found the 8th one (permutation problem) really wierdy.... because I got the recursive code from the DSAL book and yet it didn't work fine at all....!!!!!!!! The 12th problem (Maze problem) is somewhat tricky, yet managable.
Yesterday I kept praying and guessed that the last three problems should not come in the MGPA9.. I revised code of all the OOPJ programs I had done so far.... and then I mugged up Sushant's logic for the 8th problem (Permutation problem) and Ravi's logic for the 12th problem (maze problem)..... and went to sleep not quite late at night....... because 'Gyanesh Sir' did warn me in the previous MGPA not to look sleepy in the class..........
It was the today morning..... and as usual, I woke up around 9'O clock.... I got ready for the test. It was so nice to see that it was problem number 7 (Removing zero rows and zero columns from a given matrix...) it was so easy that it took just 12 to 13 minutes to solve it...... the rest of the time I had to again sit idle in the lecture hall and wait until it was 11'O clock....
After that all of us came down to the lab at ground floor..... I typed my program... but not in a hurry..... I didn't want to repeat the mistake I made earlier.... then I compiled it for it might contain typing errors.... but all was well... then I hit a submit on it.... and it simple came out with all the Y's......
Now I have 9 MGPAs on my record..... and I feel I have a good impression on Raman Sir... All this necessarily work good for my future....

What rubbish are we getting for our meals ????????

It's really a mess out here in CDAC as far as the meals are concerned..... Could you imagine getting meals of such a bad quality in the mess that I have had been vomiting regularly for the last two weeks and.... not only me..... most of the others are experiencing the same...... The meals... whether in the afternoon or at night..... are never upto the mark..... they are simply rubbish.... Especially today night......., I couldn't at afford to go for the meal after having the very first sight of the ingredients ....... there was something bloody-red....., (nobody ever could guess what all are they given to eat.... it's simply put..... close your eyes and have it inside..... without applying any thought or reasoning....... because it's the mess of CDAC......) and something grassy..... and CHAPATIs like PAPPADs ....... and PAPPADs like CHAPATIs............ and watery DAHI (curd)................
Oh.......! It's simply toooooooooooooooooooo.............................. good to nibble and get inside.......
I'm taking medicines all the way to keep up my digestive system....... but alas.........! it's not working..... but how could it actually work.......????? After all the food must be something like that for the humans.... not the hoofed creatures........

I certainly need to go ahead and make a complaint against all this..... oh.....! but today it's friday.....!!!!!!!!!
Need to wait another two days..... because it is the weekend and nobody would be there to make a heed to what I and the others have got to say.......
Ok....... let's see.................

Mam's superb presentation......

Today was a very busy friday..... as we had classes right from the morning.... MFCS class in the first session..... then the DSAL class ....... and then somebody came up saying there was to be a TCOM session too..... I was so tired and so unwiling that I just did not want the TCOM session to happen that day at all...... Then some students opted to go and ask the admin staff if the TCOM session could be postponed to some other day.... probably the very next day if possible..... and lo......... Uma ma'm came up and declared that it was meant for the staff only.... however any student if interested could very well attend the presentation and that Sawani Ma'm was to the one who was to give the presentation... and the topic of her presentation was "Rhetoric Structure Theory"..... that is the relation among various sentences of a whole paragraph, in fact, a whole lot of text.....
Now, this was something irresistible at all..... firstly because Sawani Ma'm was to give away the presentation... and secondly it was related to the "Artificial Intelligence". The session was concerned with "Natural Language Processing" through computers....
A lot of this I could infer from the presentation at all..... that there can be sentences or even parts of sentence.... and they may be related to each other in different forms depending upon the intent of the author.... what all the author wants to convey....
A single piece of text could be broken down and a binary tree could be constructed as according to importance and precedence of its parts...
Then I came to know about what is called..... nucleus and the satellite. nucleus is the central idea or the theme that the author want to emphasise upon...... while satelite is that part of the sentence or a different sentence at all... which may be present to support that central idea....
And what could be the cause behind all such things that Ma'm said was to help computers be able to translate not only sentences from one language to the other, but also to translate the ideas of the author into the target language.....
It was really.... an informative session..... and I think it's quite a loss for those who didn't attend the session..... They could have learnt so much out of it that it can never be accomodated in this blog.....

A little hurry... got it all down......

Yes, it was all in a hurry..... and what a bad luck.... I could better not do what i did....
Last week, I was short ofone blog... and what more happened was that the gnyan server went out for the whole days right on saturday and sunday.... the days on which I used to devote time for writing blogs......
However, on Sunday night, it became available for sometime..... and it was the time I and every other student in CDAC could do his or her blog-writing..... But I was so sort of words, in fact, I was not able to think ofany topic I could blog upon.....
Finally, I decided to try google search on some random words.... because the time was running out..... and I had to have completed my blog....
I tried some words arbitrarily.... to see if I could find some good stuff on it. Finally, I found some really good and informative stuff by searching for the word 'confidence'.
I was really fascinated by whatever was written about it. Ithought this could serve the purpose well.... and what I did was that I copied the content and pasted it in my blog.
But, now I can see that copying is no way going to yield anything other than harm as far as TCOM assignments are concerned..... even if there are reasons for it.

Yet, I can see the ground beneath this harshness and which is very much justified... if I stand on the other side of the table.....

I should really appreciate the way Sawani Ma'm handles things and the way she answers questions put to her is so nicely placed that it really wins her listeners..

At times, I feel that that if I were in her place, might be that I couldn't tolerate some of the incidents that take place and the way they take place.......

Really, tolerence grows with experience...... and this is very very evident from Sawani Ma'm....

The 6th MGPA... could be a blow storm for me...

Really......, this time I was really stuck up during the 6th MGPA... I knew the code was superb... it could never fail... but the wretched "Parikshak".... it can't even tolerate even a subtle difference... that i knew ... but where was it finding that little a difference..... ?
It was all before me.... I did insert print methods in the code.... the code did show what all was getting out of the logic of the program.... but it was just a slip of my eyes that I couldn't notice that the program was actually producing 'two' line-breaks instead of just 'one'.....

And,... do you know how I got into all of a sudden in this kind of a situation.... It was all because I wanted to kick 'Bajaj' behind by submitting my code earlier than him... so that he could no longer boast of this and that..... a very sheer of me .... and i typed by mistake, an extra '\n' which took all the show down to ashes......
I wondered though the code up and down...... trying to find out what went wrong actually.... but alas... i couldn't find the minute fault in my code....
Then I felt that it was the time to change the approach... I implied a 'static' string as the instance member of the class and stripped out the extra space at the end of it using the substring method of the 'String' class and then directed it to the display using the 'System.out.println' method....... O'................ what a mistake I was fooling around.... I felt it this moment that all of my previous code was exactly correct.... except for the extra '\n'. But still, I didn't have the patience to rework and submit it... After all... the present code was still consistent; and I simply wanted to all the 'Y's at the earliest....
Hence, i did submit the code right away and felt greatly relaxxed after getting one 'Y' and all the other 'Y's following in the line....
In the meanwhile, I could see Anubhav Sir and Sachin Sir disappointed at the fact that I was behaving so careless... I think I got that warmth from them that I didn't remain stuck for long.....
I wrote the very previous blog on the topic 'competition', but this time it was a great lesson for me that competition can be at times, hazardous...... and it's you who must decide whether a competition is healthy for you or not.....
I would always carry Sachin Sir's warning after the MGPA was over... that I shouldn't be so careless again....
Yes... I would take my own time, and get my code ready patiently.... after all there's so much of time... and what could I achieve by submitting before or after...? Getting all 'Y's is all that is required.... So, I expect all my readers to learn the same lesson that I did after reading this blog of mine....
Bye for now...

What is LOVE ?

Love is a constellation of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection or profound oneness.
The meaning of love varies relative to context. Romantic love is seen as an ineffable feeling of intense attraction shared in passionate or intimate attraction and intimate interpersonal and sexual relationships.
Though often linked to personal relations, love is often given a broader signification, a love of humanity, of nature, with life itself, or a oneness with the Universe, a universal love or karma. Love can also be construed as Platonic love,
religious love,
familial love, and, more casually, great affection for anything considered strongly pleasurable, desirable, or preferred, to include activities and foods.
This diverse range of meanings in the singular word love is often contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for love, reflecting the concept's depth, versatility, and complexity.

What is competition...

Competition is the rivalry of two or more parties for something. Competition occurs naturally between living organisms which coexist in an environment with limited resources. For example, animals compete over water supplies, food, and mates. In addition, humans compete for recognition, wealth and entertainment.
Competition can be remote, as in a free throw contest, or antagonistic, as in a standard basketball game. These contests are similar, but in the first one players are isolated from each other, while in the second one they are able to interfere with the performance of their competitors.
Competition gives incentives for self improvement. If two watchmakers are competing for business, they will lower their prices and improve their products to increase their sales. If birds compete for a limited water supply during a drought, the more suited birds will survive to reproduce and improve the population.
Rivals will often refer to their competitors as "the competition", and the term competition can also be used as to refer to a contest or tournament.
