Focus and how it can create wow effect for our life

My friend is visiting me and i am using his canon 1000D camera a lot.

It's ability, unlike my digi camera, to focus on only the focused
object and blurring the rest makes the pictures so great!! They look
so nice.

And we all are enjoying the undecided focus.

This is lot like the focus in our life, if we try to focus on two many
things in our frame, we won't capture anything worth wowing!!

But just like this camerra, we need to focus on the subject and blur
the rest. And it creates that wow.

The camera uses its own technology to acheive this and we can use our
minds self discipline.

So get going. Focus !!

How to Break inertia?

Easiest way to break the habit of inertia is timeboxing.

If you are stuck in a rut. If you are not studying as much as you
scheduled or if you are not practising the required amount in your fav
CAE tool, and it feels like you are in a 'daldal' of time wastefulness!!

This is the time to timeboxing!! What is it?

Take out a timer. Set it to 8 minutes or so and start doing the task
you are avoiding for the next 8 minutes untill the timer beams!

This simple exercise and working against time can be very useful.

Don't worry what you are doing, don't judge how you are working. Just
put in the time and you will see how you break the bonded chain of
inertia!!

So try it next time when you feel you have lost your motivation. Try
it when you feel you are wasting your time.

I just did that to break my inertia of writing to this blog. In the
past week I had lot of inspirations to write for the blog. But somehow
the initial inertia prevented it. So today I timeboxed.

Different ways to study for exams and which you can choose?

There are lot of ways to study for exams. Different people have
different inclination and routes.

So what's your way to study for exams?

Do you prefer learning by mouthing all the words you are reading or do
you study in complete silence?

Do you enjoy studying indoors or outdoors?

Do you love working with a textbook or a rough copy?

Do you like Reading from notes or from the book?

Do you read the difficult subjects before the simple onces?

Do you keep syllabus book with you or you do not?

Do you simply follow class lectures or have your own reference
materials?

Do you use Internet in your studies or you do not think it's not much
of use?

Do you study with examination paper or without?

Do you devote complete attention to one subject or you mix and match?

Do you study early in the morning or late at night?

Do you study with pen or paper or just read everything?

The point of the post is there are as many ways to study for an exam
as there are students. So it doesn't matter how, where, and when you
study.

What really matter is that you are consistent in your approach
whatever it is.

If you like studying early in the day, so be it. Be consistent with it.

If you love Reading on the rooftop all alone, so be it as long as you
are consistent.

Consistency is the magic!! The ingredient for success in any practise.
So aim for that and every thing else will fall in place.

Good luck for your exams!!

From ouraesi-on job training in IIT after AeSI

Many times in this blog I post links or posts that originate in the
ouraesi group. This post is one of that!

Nishant asked about OJT in IIT and here's the very useful response
from mr
Kamanasish Biswas!

Hi Nishant,
As far as i know for getting OJT (Through AeSI) u have to secure at
least 60% in Sec-B. only IIT kanpur provides OJT (Among all
IITs).Apart from on job training (OJT) u can try for Project assistant
or JRF position at various IIT. For that u can browse through the
website www.Freshersworld.com. then u can prepare for GATE Exam or u
can try for MS programme at iit.

With Best Wishes
Kamanasish Biswas

This interaction is what makes ouraesi a great place to be. Hope you
are a member of this group!!

God is Real, unless declared Integer

I love FORTRAN language and as days go by my love increase. 

For the last 50 years this language has been supporting the engineering and computational communities. 

This language is rich in history and every great engineer and scientist that you know of will have used this language. such is a legacy of this language..

So when I find something interesting about this language, I don't miss that opportunity to showcase this here.


*God is Real, unless declared Integer. J. Allan Toogood, FORTRAN programmer.

*FORTRAN, the infantile disorder, by now nearly 20 years old, is hopelessly inadequate for whatever computer application you have in mind today: it is now too clumsy, too risky, and too expensive to use. -Edsger Dijkstra, circa 1970.

*"The sooner the world forgets that FORTRAN ever existed, the better." (imputed to Joseph Weizenbaum)

*"95 percent of the people who programmed in the early years would never have done it without Fortran." - Ken Thompson, circa 2005

*"The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change." -Early FORTRAN manual for Xerox Computers

*"Consistently separating words by spaces became a general custom about the tenth century A.D., and lasted until about 1957, when FORTRAN abandoned the practice." -Sun FORTRAN Reference Manual

*"People are very flexible and learn to adjust to strange surroundings - they can become accustomed to read Lisp and Fortran programs, for example." -Art of PROLOG, Leon Sterling and Ehud Shapiro, MIT Press

*"Warning: Go directly to Jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200." - Easter egg in the SDS/Xerox Sigma 7 FORTRAN compiler, when the statement GO TO JAIL was encountered. The message is from a Chance card in Monopoly.


*"A computer without COBOL and FORTRAN is like a piece of chocolate cake without ketchup or mustard." - a fortune cookie from the Unix program fortune.

*"The determined Real Programmer can write FORTRAN programs in any language." - Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal, Ed Post, 1982

Being an engineer is not just about having an engineering degree, it's
about being able to solve problems, it's about creating solutions and
its about making something.

Engineer needs to

Be creative

Have intellectual horsepower
Have perseverance
Be able to learn on a fly
Be capable of dealing with ambiguity
Be able to make timely dicisions

Seek problems

Learning catia, learning solidworks, learning hypermesh, learning
ansys or learning anything, seek problems once the basic tutorials are
complete!!

Solving problem is the best and fastest way to learn and become
confident in any software tool.

Faced with a problem, the mind is extra receptive, more creative and
wide open to try out things.

Whatever stage you might be in now, from training to learning on your
own. Once you have gone through the basic tutorials. Seek real
problems. Use the tools to solve real stuff.

Design catia models of your own formula one car, model a pressure
cooker and mesh it. Do a CFD analysis of your table fan. This out of
the box projects will get to you the edge of what you know. They will
present opportunities to explore the tool.

This is where the real learning will begin. So take this to heart, if
you truly want to master a tool, seek problems!!

One practical tip to help you learn better for the exams

Shun book reading! Take up a copy and pen. Draw on it. Play with the
concepts. This is what I have done throughtout my aesi days.

Take any notebook of my aesi day, and you will find it scribled with
cartoons, sketches of the concepts that I read.

This simple exercise not only imprinted the concepts in my mind but
were very useful for quick revisions.

Exams are approaching. You might be pressing your study accelerator
now. So this is the right moment to get started in this.

Keep the book aside and start doodling on the paper. Understand and
study the concepts not by reading but by putting them on the notebook!!

If you do this or something similar do let me know.

Cheers and good luck

Ham kare travelling and tum Chalo walkin

This is just a quick note to let you know that I am travelling and so
posting on the blog will be a little slow.

By the way, If I remember correctly my last post was about a walk in.

Don't miss it. I know many aesi graduates that got their first jobs by
just attending walkin's.

Walkin represent a tremendous opportunity. It always means the company
has a real need. Take full advantage of it.

So get that self respect in order, drink a can of confidence and chalo
walk in

Best of luck

Do share your walk in experience with me.

Every single day.

If you can and will spend an our on one skill. Every single day from
the start of your aesi semesters. You will acheive many things.

It's not about time management. It's simply a decision to spend an
hour fruitfully on one important tool of your choice.

I wish I knew this earlier in my aesi days. But when I got a hint, I
applied it in my last and second last semester of AeSI!

I discovered I have no skills to really confidently project in my
resume and I took stock and found that C was a computer that I have
some tiny experience and that's the only real software I had access to
via the Internet.

So on that day I decided that no matter what, each day from now on, I
will write at least on program of c. I took a diary and began the
exercise.

With few exceptions, I kept the promise to myself and concistently
carried that one program writting rule for two semester.

Whenever I got a chance I translated the program to the computer and
ran it. So even without a system around, on holidays, in train while
going home, I kept writing a program a day!

That single consistent act of mine is paying for my expenses and have
got all the exciting work that I am previledged to do now.

So take a lesson from this and take up a tool and consistently put an
hour on it everyday. You will reap 100 times more rewards than the
effort you put on every single day!!
