Abhivyakti'16

2 hours of full entertainment. Dance, drama, music - Abhivyakti this year was as good as if not better than Addiction! All the FE's simply rocked the stage(literally rocked - the band was about to fall at a stage:P). Together with art exhibition, Abhivyakti gives us the glimpse of our peers' talents and skills. Their devotion toward their performances and towards Art circle is magnificent. Hats off guys.

PICT Art Circle

No words...

INC

A couple of things about PICT INC (Impetus and concepts)
1) Most of the projects are from PICT BE students (the same they submit as their final year project). They also have a some other college submissions though.
2) Try to stay away from the college if you don't want to attend the inauguration ceremony - that means a speech from the pricipal, Comp HOD and the chief guest(s). If you stay you'll see teachers and guard forcing students to sit for it and they have the classic give your Icard weapon if you refuse(so unfair).
3) There's a possibility that you might think that the projects are only on the basketball ground(this year I think they had a selected projects that could turn up into startups there). Well go inside the college almost every room has at least 4 to 5 projects!
4) The fist year students might get many bouncers in case of the computer projects but it's a great motivation, you'll know what are the possibilities how judges evaluate the projects and the best of all that PICT students are cool!
5) Sure the project makers will tell you in detail about the project if you ask them, but tail the judges. Often they ask questions that make sense to you and well bottom line, the judges will make an impression on you.
6) It's easy to ignore this event. If you don't go to college for 3 days you would never know it happed! Do yourself a favour. Just browse the projects list and them scan though a couple of rooms you'll be amazed :)

A few years ago

a few years ago there was a boy who wanted to change the world for the better. He wanted to explore it to the fullest to know everything and to use his knowledge then for the greater good. help people. Make the world a better place as they say it. Normal right? But then he joined the like minded people. The race began. He found reasons to keep going and to persuade himself that he has not deviated but guided towards his dream, that this race was just a stepping stone towards it. Years passes and he was just a man in the crowd. Well he didn't care for the praise any ways in the past right? So that shouldn't matter! when he thought about it he always said yeah it doesn't matter. But the environment was making him see things differently. At times it was about the winning strategy. cracking the job interviews, socialism and being cool and happy. The true happiness was fading away somewhere. The thirst to know things buried the kind child deep down... The child who knew love who saw people smile and would call it a day. Who'd like to hug a stranger who needs a hug. Who'd define happiness by the number of people he made smile. Who'd talk random talks to  the stars and his sis and get all senti. That innocent little boy with the best heart! love that boy, bring him back, make him teach the present adult what's life and let there be light:)

Redefine Happiness

There a Taylor Swift slide when he says singer :) <3

Really! Is that called beginner level?

The 4th simplest problem on CodeChef looks like ....(sorry 404 metaphor). I skipped the third one cause the fourth looked simpler(X-/).
I don't know if this is normal for a starter but this competitive coding thing looks sexy...
"Stick to it", said our seniors at the workshop. Lets see where it takes me :)

The Man Who Knew Infinity Official Trailer #1 (2016) - Dev Patel, Jeremy...

Some are born with what it takes to be what they want to be.

Brave

A & B were best friends for 4 years if their engineering from IIT. A did his B.Tech CSE at IIT Bombay and B did Mechanical Engineering in the same college. Both of them were hired in a multinational company with fat salaries. A was the top developer at apple and B was in Hundai.

Years passed… A soon traveled abroad and the friends were no longer in touch. A quit his job at apple and joined another reputed company and became the company's CEO in a few years. 10 years after his graduation he got a chance to come to India. He decided to go on a long drive on the outskirts of Bombay and so he was all set. As luck would have it his cars tyre was punctured just a short distance from a garage. He got some help to get his car to the garage to fix it.

And there was B in greased clothes ready to service A’s car. Stunned, A asked B how come he landed here! He could have been a billionaire by now and most likely a CEO of some multinational company. He knew B well enough, becoming a CEO would not be at all difficult for B.

B smiled and answered, “I left my job just a month after joining bro. I always wanted to use my own hands to repair and design stuff. I wanted to fix peoples cars and bikes all of my own. Here I get to do that and I love it.”

A was in tears, being a CEO has nothing to do with success he knew that he always did. He also knew that his heart was in becoming a full time open source developer. That’s what got him into CSE. He knew he should have followed his heart and he would be happier even  if he was just among the thousands contributing. He knew it all, but he never dared to go against the flow.
