Towers are good.

Towers throughout history has provided its users with an advantage in
surveying defensive positions and obtaining a better view of the
surrounding areas.

We need similar towers to improve our skills and knowledge.

When we are too close a problem and get more familiar with a problem
or task, we fall into a lazy trap. We slack.

This is when we need a tower. A mental tower to climb up and detach us
from our immediate worries and tasks at hand and remind us of the big
picture.

Fallen into a rut is a common expression and if you don't have this
periodic tower retreats, you are heading towards that rut.

Be it a aesi student, or a trainee or someone in the corporate world,
schedule this tower like retreats.

They help.

Interested in combat fighter aircrafts?

If you are interested in combat aircrafts, if you interested in multi role combat aircraft design process and if you are interested in the conception of Rafale, the winner of the MMRCA, then head to the following link.


https://sukhbinder.wordpress.com/2012/02/08/the-birth-of-rafale-integrated-design-of-advanced-fighters-lecture/

The link there points to a PDF technical lecture which will help understand what is the thought process that goes behind the design of a multi role combat aircraft like the Rafale.

Very insightful stuff, especially for aero engineers among us.

Two things to aim at...

Someone sent me this quote today.

There are two things to aim at in life:
First, to get what you want; and second, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second!!!

Loved it.

Under promise but over deliver

This is what Seth Godin had to say in a recent post.

"The mistake is when you put more effort into the promises and less into what you deliver. Promise a lot but deliver even more."

This holds true not only to what you promise others but is even better if we apply it to ourself.

Under promise to yourself but over deliver. How?

That you have to find out for your unique situation.

I am trying to do the same by promising myself to write 2 posts per week and trying to do more. Promising to exercise thrice a week and doing it more.

Let's be Hackers.

Yes let's be hackers. Before you guys chain me read this snippet by Mr Zukerberg, the founder of facebook.

This text is from a recent letter from him to potential investors for the upcoming facebook IPO.

The word "hacker" has an unfairly negative connotation from being portrayed in the media as people who break into computers. In reality, hacking just means building something quickly or testing the boundaries of what can be done. Like most things, it can be used for good or bad, but the vast majority of hackers I've met tend to be idealistic people who want to have a positive impact on the world.

The Hacker Way is an approach to building that involves continuous improvement and iteration. Hackers believe that something can always be better, and that nothing is ever complete.

The emphasis is mine. Continuous improvement and iterations that's the key. If you are learning a new language, building a new skill or learning a new subject, aim to be an hacker.

Instead of meandering with the programming book, write a program; Instead of pouring over the tutorials, try a real life example.

Start early, fail fast. Improve continuously. That's the hackers way

Now it's your turn, just don't read this and move on. Pause and reflect on how you can apply this in your life, in your work.

Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics was my favourite subject in AeSI. It made intuitive sense to me and perhaps that’s why i was propelled to take up propulsion stream in section B.

Posted a post titled Thermodynamics and propulsion on www.sukhbindersingh.com

If you promised yourself that you will really learn that subject when you have time, then the link there is for you.

Go ahead and enjoy.

Programming Language "C"

I'm sharing one interview question asked to me at Hewlett-Packard. 
Program :
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main ()
{
      int a=3;
      printf("The value of a is : %d",a);
      printf("\nAddress of a is : %u",&a);
      getch ();
      return 10;
}
Question :
Run this program, you'll get the address of a as 65524, however the maximum decimal value_16 bit is 65535 (unsigned). Why the address at the output is 65524 not 65535 ?
Question :
Prove using DOS that the return value of the above program is 10 ?
Hint : (echo %errorlevel%)
