Howard Roark

From the Fountain Head,
From this simplest necessity to the highest religious abstraction,
from the wheel to the skycraper, everything we are and everything we have
comes from a single attribute of man - the function of his reasoning mind.

The Final Year Project ! !

Huh ! !

Was such an EXPERIENCE working on the Final Year Bachelor of Engineering Project !
We, i.e
Chinmay A Limaye - THE person ( people who know him very well know that there in no word to describe this person )
Niranjan Hasabnis - Again another THE i guess :-)
Nikhil Firke - NO WORDS ! !
and myself worked at Persistent Systems Private Ltd. on Feature Enhancement of Asterisk PBX, and did some intresting ( meaning : Whatever , but not really the expected meaning ) work on IP based Private Branch Exchange..
i wont go into the technical details ( was there anything that we did technically ??? -- better ask my partners because i do not think we did any ! )
ok ok.. so the journey began way back in January 2005... all set to form groups for the final year ! first i was gonna do project with Adish - Mwanko Mbuki
Saket - Jester
Amar - Infinity ! ( sister of Trinity ../ He is a guy )
but then things turn out that we get selected for interviews at GS labs.. but unfortunately do not clear it...
i get selected for Persistent .. and then we 4 do the so called project !
Meanwhile we did get selected at different places for interviews like Codito, Concepts... but then we decided to work at PSPL..
What an experience it was ! ???
After the event Impetus & Concepts we do regret to an extent for working at PSPL.
Not that we did not get recognition for the project.. but the overall experience was not as rewarding as it was for our fellowmates...
we ( Nikhil , me and Nirya ) did try for projects on N/W and O.S. related stuff.. but ... Neway...
We would have very well liked to be getting some offers from SMALL companies.. Remember we did get recognition... but not the way we wanted ...
We learned a LOT in terms of working on a project and some issues of dealing with THE MAN ( Chinmay ) but . .. at the back of mind there still is that unsatsfied self .
( i do plan to put my words together and then write about THE MAN soon.... )

Hope i continue it from here..

always i try to continue posting on this regularly but some how i cannot ! !

too lazy... i guess.. or not too committed to writing...
anyway.. i think i will certainly try to be more regular on this stuff !


Cheers !!

The Common Man-

Saw an intresting movie "DOMBIVALI FAST"

Director: Nishikant Kamat
Language: Marathi.

A story of a common man who loses his sanity in the everyday rut of life.
The story of Madhav Apte, the film's protagonist who travels by the Dombivli fast everyday, is a tale which a common man can easily identify with.
An honest middle-class banker, Apte, disgusted with the system, loses his sanity and takes it upon himself to set things right, resorting to violent ways, thereby causing tension and strife to his wife and kids.
Great acting skills being portrayed again by none other than Sandeep Kulkarni (Dr.Sane in Shwaas) and all the other co-actors.
A hard but true view of the way the common man lives his life ..
watch the movie and you can understand it better..
Though the hero ( common-man ) in the film, is forced to take action against the system in a voilent way, ultimately to be remembered only in the police records..
is there no way that one can change the ongoing things..?

yes yes yes.. individuals need to change themselves ..

Let's begin..

atleast give it a try once..
