Curious Happenings!

Well a curious week just passed away boosting my Mood Swings to the limit....

• I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in continuous 16 hours (full night) and i can safely say that it is the most wonderful creation of J.K.Rawling. Previously my favorite was Goblet of Fire but it surpasses that without bounds and limits. It had the most unexpected and the wonderfully twisted end that none of the Fan Fiction could even guess...It intricated the whole series in an exemplary fashion and kept me in a good mood for atleast a couple of days. Just one thing i would like to mention is that, i didn't like the Epilouge at all, she could have given a much more broader outlook as she was ending an epical series. Anyways Mille fois Merci J K Rawling!

• I have finally decided on doing MBA and now am gearing up for CAT, thinking of joining Career Launcher, CP Centre in December (Any Comments??)

• I completed my 45 days long Summer Training in NEC-HCL and my final project code surpassed my humble expectations (As i never knew i could have done such stuff).

• I took an IQ test on Tickle (PhD Certified) and was wonderfully Amazed by being termed as a Complex Intellectual with IQ of 133 :)

Well, next week College is opening so i had complete fun this week, and enjoyed a lot with Friends....with some little bursts of Passivity and Pessimism coming in between which took a lot of time conquering.....

Au Revoir et Bonne Nuit!

Je parle un peu de Fraçais!

Bonjour et Salut!!

Well friends these days I am learning a teeny weeny bit of French for Time Pass....And believe me, its real FUN and engaging to incorporate some kewl French words in daily speaking. I discovered some interesting facts too, viz. one third of English words come directly from French :) So you know English and thus you know One Third French (Nice feeling naa..).

I discovered a nice site which gives wonderful French Tutorials for beginners entering from English. Well I liked is that it gives you e-mail tutorials also, like it sends you daily email for 1 week describing basic info about French Language and let you grasp Basic French within a week...

For the uninitiated the title means "I speak a little French"!!

So Á la procháine, Au Revoir (Until next time, Good Bye) !!

Mussoorie Trip

I had been to Mussoorie this Summer, after settling my Internship, and it was a pleasant experience going there second time (First time I went with School Trip in 11th :) ) with parents...

We also went to Haridwar in between and saw cool-splashing Ganga River, and stayed for one night at Rishikesh. In Rishikesh, I saw Ganga Aarti, which was a nice sight, and also had a holy bath in Ganga. This time Ganga was not so clean though, as due to recent rains, the water had been muddified, but anyways, it was still GANGA.....

After that we straighted out to Mussoorie, where I had booked a hotel suite from Delhi only. It was very hot in days but got to nice breezy evenings and nights. We visited Kempty Falls (where amazingly they have installed a new trolley, which relieved us of a plight of approx. 1000 stairs :) ). After departing from the falls we caught hold of a beautiful Traffic Jam which scorched me for arnd 1 hour. Our Hotel was on the Mall Road only, so we spent most of our times roaming about aimlessly on it, and enjoying the scenic beauty.....

I also discovered a famous Omellette Shop there, which India Today has reviewed to be the best in India. It simply had the most delicious Omellettes I have ever had...We departed Mussoorie after 3 days, and visited Company Bagh in the way, which was a very superb and awesome garden.

This trip certainly relieved me of all the tensions and boringness of the 4th sem final exams and filled me with new vigor to start some kewl new Project...Hehe

Summer Internship

Finally after months of hard labour I managed to achieve a good Internship at a big IT technology company for 1.5 months. Now I am working as a trainee in NEC-HCL System Technologies, a collaboration between the technology giants of Japan(NEC) and India(HCL) both, located near the Taj Express Way in Noida.

I will be working in an Image Processing Project which inputs 2 slightly displaced aerial images of a region and produces a good 3-D plot of the place. Awesome isn't it!!!

My job is to improve the algorithm to upload the heavy Images (worth around 500 MBs) on Internet Web Server of the software called "RealScape". I will have to learn ASP.NET, C#.NET, AJAX and Web Services (Whoa!!) to get some knowledge about the field.

So Best of Luck to Me!!

Free Tickets at Fun Cinemas!

Hey friends I again won at Fun Cinemas - "Two free Silver Class movie tickets". This is the 5th time I won the free tickets. It is the prize of a quiz contest which takes place at the Fun Cinemas Site. Now I can watch any movie of my choice with a friend but only on Monday-Thursday.....

It really feels very exciting when you get to watch free movies which actually cost something about Rs. 130 per ticket. Chalo bye for now as I get down to think which movie to watch this time.....

Image Data Hiding

Hi!
Many a times, you may be wishing to exchange or share some secret information. When you try encrypting your data, anybody can get suspicious that you are trying to share something secret.
But I have a very cool alternative to that. Why don't you hide all your data in a naive looking Image File and send that to your contact. Send him the required Security code and VIOLA!! he can get back your data as easily as possible....And in this case : Nobody even came to be slightly suspicious that you may be sending even a bit of data......

So, to entertain this fact, I created a C++ Program along with few of my friends Nipun and Mukul that serves this purpose very successfully. (Its Free but not Open Source)!!

Program Executable !

This Concept is very popularly known as Steganography - The art of hiding data in images.....!
Presently the program is in Natal stages and I will keep on updating it as and when we will add a new functionality to the program.

PLAN - We plan to change the platform to JAVA, so that it can be used in Windows platform, which will be very Cool looking rather than the DOS platform. We also plan to port it to Mobiles, so that you can send your precious SMSes using MMS (Seems costly, by think how lovely will it look, if you send an image to your LOVE, hiding "I Love YOU" in it ;) )....

So, Download the executable and check for yourself. But please leave your comments, on how you liked the program and what else you would like to see in it.

Orkut Helper

Many of us are Bedazzeled by Orkut and feel ki there should have been some tool bars to make it user friendly. Many a times we feel ki there should have been a tool which could save us an eternity of times if we just wanted to scrap everybody a 'Happy New Year', thats it...

Well i found a very helpful and cool Firefox Add-on, which just lets you do that, and many things more.

ORKUT HELPER

Well it can help you send multiple scraps at the same time, ping you any time you have a new scrap, and always keep you logged in among many things. Do install it and share you views.
