As most of you are aware, I am in the top 20 of Code4Bill and currently interning at Microsoft India (R&D) as a part of this contest which aims at sending the top one to work with Bill Gates at Redmond. The final presentation and interviews will be on the 31st of July at Hyderabad. There have been minor presentations every week, with the next one scheduled for the 11th of July. On this day, there

I've finally decided to break my long silence at Microsoft, which must have got people wondering about Microsoft's confidentiality policy, and share a couple of MS secrets with all you people out there.First secret that not many of you know about is that MS is a great place to work in. Well... to be honest, I don't know if it is a great place to work in, but it sure is a great place to be in.

I haven't been active lately, and each time I come after a lull, I promise to be active; by now you must be wary of my promises. But this time, I am bent upon making an exception, I will not promise to be regular - in fact I am promising not to be regular.But first let me take some time off to let you peek into my current affairs.First, my practical examinations start Monday and extend through

"When you copy from one paper, it is called plagiarism, when you copy from more than one, it is called research"However, this definition is not universal, research can also mean actual research. But research papers are not always based on research, are they? Well, this is a story of a short research paper that was...My friend and room-mate, Asankhaya Sharma was the researcher. After long

The placement record of National Institute of Technology, Warangal's Department of Computer Science and Engineering is well known and documented. Ranked 7th in India by a NASSCOM-Dataquest survey, the college lists placement as its major strong point. This has only been strengthened in the current year by a rare accomplishment that left the department and the college proud of its faculty.A

Well, it has been a long time - well, nearly a month. In the space of this one month, a lot has happenned in and out of my my life. Let me list them out to you...We'd a college tri-departmental fest in which I was in organizing committee for an event. The event (Debugging Contest) went on really well. But what I am really proud of is not this - it is winning the 1st prize in Hacking Contest with

Find anything amiss??Consider looking again at the picture! Now you notice, don't you - and no - I checked - there is no plugin for IE tab viewing - the IE error page shows up in Firefox without a IE View plugin for a Microsoft page! This is my friend T's computer - his e-mail address is shown - but this is not a license to spam.

Today is the 10th of Febraury, 2006, the date of birth of my dear friend N - Happy Birthday 'Nero'! Many happy returns of the day! This post is dedicated to Nero the Burning!!It is bad enough that our HoD resorted to marks for attendance to bring students to class - after all he beleives that students should be brought to class - contrast these views with mine - every student has a right to go or

Just check out www.code4bill.com.As you must have known/guessed, I am one of the eager participants; I know I already have an internship offer at Microsoft India Development Center, Hyderabad, but then it wouldn't hurt to have a go at working with Bill Gates Technical Assistants team, would it?So let me tell you how it went off. With a flying start two weeks back, one attempt on Saturday and one

Its been a long time since I last wrote to this blog. As a matter of fact, I was out-of-station. Now you might say that there is no such thing as an out-of-station in the online world (unless, of course, if you are on the moon) and I'd have to grudgingly concede that you are right. What I meant was that I was so away from my computer that I just found no time to keep you updated.Anyway, I'll

Surprising!It is surprising that teachers can surpise you with a surpise test! After all, aren't surprise tests meant to surpise? Our DWDM teacher must have had exactly that in mind, when he unfolded the surprise in class today - the announcement of a surpise test! Being one of the one-third that actually turned up for the class, I could count myself lucky I didn't miss the test. I was sorry for

When the Head of Dept (he takes Lang. Processors course for us) announced that it was now a rule in the college that any teacher who goes on leave, must offer a substitute, it did not invite much reaction. Till he announced that to cover the syllabus, he would be constrained to take extra classes. Extra classes in the very first week of the semester! Can you imagine that? But what is to be

When the Head of Dept called me and Asankhaya Sharma into the room for a (no, not a hot cup of java) new goody for the website, a computerized form for entering details about subjects and teachers -like, who encouraged doubts (or evaded or discouraged).1, which course was irrelevant, and so on!... it seemed just so simple.Major problems, however were waiting to ambush usStudents: this class of

Pursuant to my promise to return, I am back, with a minor problem - what to write, what to hold dear and what to share. I went through a lot of blogs, liked some, _____ others, and finally am back to square one. What do I write?So, let me attempt to give an intro of myself, without boring you to death. Since I have read that enumerating ideas leads to easy comprehension, I'll attempt to do the
