Einstine said ' imagination is more powe

Einstine said ' imagination is more powerful than knowledge'.

I an sure you might have heard this many a times but do you follow
what it says? Do you apply it in your life, in your studies, in your
work?

Think of ways to do. If a great man said those words then they
definiely have some worth. Well for studies one of the use is straight
forward. I had applied it my aesi days where I used my imaginations to
see all the theory I learnt!!! Thermodynamics, fluid dynamics,
aerodynamics, principles of flights, propulsion 1 etc. were some of
the subjects and topics that I had mentally played while putting
myself to sleep.

Similarlly finding new connection with known and the new theory, see a
gas turbine engine work in imagination were some of the things that I
did.

So during this exam study time see how powerful imagination is. Apply
it!!

Look under the hood

As I wrote the last post asking all giving AMAeSI exams to have the
syllabus book in hand while preparing, I missed one point, and I want
to make it in this post.

Look under the hood!! Don't just study the formulas or the theory.
Look under the hood. See why it works? How that formulae applies in
practice. See the basics on how it came to that point? This way you
will not only remember it better but you will have much more deeper
understanding of the topic you are studying.

Keep your basics rights everything else will follow. They have a
saying in English, mind your pennies and pound will manage themselves.
Same goes for studies, mind your basics and you are on your way to
good marks and a bright professional career!!

Yes looking under the hood looks complicated, it takes time but do it
anyways it's only when you see the inner working you begin to truely
understand what you are studying!!

AeSI exams: Don't forget the syllabus book

It's may and it's the time when aesi students are mostly attached to
the books, it's the time when books are integral part of aesi students
life. Yes books do feature everytine but this is one time when you see
more books related to studies on aesi students hand. Well this was the
way it was when I was in aesi, hope it's the same now!!

What I want to tell everyone studying for the upcomming aesi amaesi
exams is get the syllabus book in hand when you study.

I have two instances in my aesi exam experience that not looking at
the aesi syllabus book cost me 6 months!! So keep the aesi syllabus
book handy!! If you don't have it, look for it, xerox it but keep it
open when you study for the exams!!! I can't emphasize it more!!

Most of the time questions in exams are on the patterns of how
syllabus is organized. So take advantage of this fact!!!

Good luck with your preparation. Want more exam and study tips go to

Think think and think Before joining AeSI

Think think and think . This is the mantra of one of the cartoons that
my daughter loves to watch. Now what it has to do with this blog which
as you know is for AeSI!!!

Well this is the phase that I get in my mind if someone asks me should
I join AeSI?

Whenever Should I join AeSI question pops up ? Think think and think
is the response I get from inside.

Don't get me wrong, I love my degree and have great respect and pride
for AeSI but when it's comes to some class xii graduate asking me to
join AeSI, I feel more options can be tried before aesi. He has enough
time in his hand and before getting into the AeSI route he must
explore other options, think thrice!!

It's not an easy course, nor are many of the variables associated with
it very promising, so one must think think and think before getting in.

This is my personal view! What do you think, please fill in the
comments. Let's see how many of you agree or disagree with my view.

3 useful tricks for sun solaris system

Operating systems are heart of a computer system. For me dos was the
first operating system I got introduced back in my early school days.
Windows 98 became the first operating system when my dad bought me my
first system. I grew most of my basic operating system skills in it.
Now zoom to today and I have began to trod with the sun solaris
machines. For last 6 months I have exclusively worked on this systems
and todays post is about 3 things that I use extensively in it.

They are preety simple but I wanted to document this for my own
reference.

The semicolon:- you can separate many commands in terminal by using ;
one of the best operator and this makes many tasks easy.

The escape key is another key that helps me a lot in getting the names
of files folders and in my repeated tasks.

I am a power user of dos prompt now but in sun solaris terminal, I am
just taking my first steps hope to master it by the end of this
current work assignment.

Well that's it. This was one of that indulgent post that I write just
to please myself. Hope it will be helpful to you in someways.

And if you are expert user in
Sun Solaris, do mention some other stuff worth mentioning in the
comments. I read each and every comment!!

Cheers for reading!!

Environment has a big impact on goals.

Environment has a big impact on goals. If the environment is hostile
to your goals you are less likely to succeed in your goal but if it's
in in line with your goals then you have much better probability of
getting to your goal.

Take for example my this years goal of writing each and everyday on
this blog. When I began it in January, I had to sttrugleu with it
sometime for coming up with ideas and some times to have to sit and
write a post. But as days went I set into a routine and the all time
net on my phone helped me to get my post done anywhere even if I had
no access to my laptop. The environment there provided me the net and
I setup my routines as discussed in an earlier post and this two
helped me in keeping to the timeline of my goals.

Now the environment and situation has changed drastically, the climate
is lot cooler, days are way longer and luxuary of all pervasive net is
no longer there. So as you can see limited my ability to post as often
as I used to. It's third week and I am still stuggling to get into a
rhythm. Slowly I am moulding routine and habit to adjust with this new
environment.

How do you feel about this? Does environment really affects your goal?
Or do you believe a strong will is all it requires to get things done!

Want a job write a presentable resume

Recently I got a mail from someone who wanted some assistance in
getting a job. I asked the person to sent me his resume with a
coverletter. He did it but here are the list of things that I didn't
like and felt why his resume will not go down well with the HR

1. The coverletter was just two lines and it didn't have any
information what so ever.

2. Yes you are a fresher but don't make your resume a fresher!! At
least craft a resume that looks not just out of college. Even if he
hadn't told me, from his basic all education and subject details I
would have known that he is a fresher. So keep that stuff for the
interview, mention only subjects you want to highlight.

3. Resume's main purpose is to attact an interview. This resume forgot
that. It was a plain bio of what the person has studied in his AeSI
degree. State and present your facts as if someone looking for a
designer will find a design guy on it.

4. It had a generic objective with no regard or mention of field of
interest of the person. The resume shouted that put me in any job!!

5. Another thing that this basic resume declared loudly was I am
cheap, recruit me!!

As far as I am concerned I have to modify the resume before I send it
to our HR folks, so it's still pending in my todo list waiting.... So
if you want to send a resume to someone make sure it's presentable
without any modification!!!

Knowing a software and applying it are totally different

Knowing a software and applying it has lot of difference. Knowing
Catia and Using it to model compressor, fuselage noses etc is totally
different game.

When you apply and are working on a real life problem it is then that
you see how much you wlll learn.

This thing happened with me in solidworks, I used to practise it
everyday but the real confidence came when I actually solid modelled
the mixed flow compressor with it. Till that time I knew what all
tutorials taught me. It was when I was assigned to solid model mixed
flow compressor that I got stuck in several place, in fillet then in
modelling the splitter blades, all this places I learnt a thing or two
about solidworks!

So the catch is always apply and put yourself in place where you can
apply the tool, if you do it consistently you will always learn
something new every time!!

Learning matlab solidworks to solve problems

If you read this blog regularly then by now you must know from the
couple of blog entries of last week that matlab is the tool I am
concentrating on. Its the software that I am spending my most of my
waking hours on!

I already had a good amount of exposure in MATLAB in NAL, this time I
am picking it up again as it's the need of the project that I will be
involved for a couple of months now. As I went through the re
familiarization of matlab, I felt one thing that I did then that gave
me an edge this time.

When I learnt matlab back in the days of nal, I applied what I learnt
to some practical use. Yes I got the opportunity to make an axial flow
compressor modelling tool but before that I used matlab as my software
learning log. It logged and compiled neat charts of all the time I
spent on softwares in NAL!!

This was one of the many practical day to day scripts that I wrote in
matlab! Same way with solidworks I created few my own personal stuff.
So the take away for anyone is if you really want to learn a tool is
bring and apply it in your own life. Apply what you learn to something
useful, something that you need on daily basis. If you can do this you
will not forget anything they you will learn during this process!!
