Infosys trip from our college

On 5th March 2011, 30 of us went to the SPARK program conducted by Infosys from our college ISiM. SPARK is an initiative for students  to enlighten students and prospective employees of the company.  We were late by an hour and we learnt about time management .With us were a college from Satara and a college from Kannur. In the session we learnt about the history of Infosys which was inspirational.  In between they screened videos titled as "Leader Speak"  from leaders like N.R.Narayan Murthy and Nandan Nilekani. 
After a short tea break we re-entered the hall to know more about Finacle. The Finacle song in the end entertained us.Shortly we were accompanied by yet another college CMRIT who joined us as latecomers. Now we learnt about a centre called PmCoe – Project Management Center of Excellence in Infosys, which has developed an approach called Project Think Approach. This approach is towards taking every task in our daily lives as  a project and following certain steps to make it a success. They are:

1. Identify the objectives.
2. Identify assumptions and constraints.
3. Address those constraints that really count in the end.
4. Identify what needs to be done (the scope).
5. Determine the plan of action.
6. Identify the risks.
7. Anticipate the risks and reduce their effect on the goal.
We were then asked to give feedbacks. From each college a faculty member and a student were supposed to give feedbacks and unfortunately the student who gave feedback for ISiM gave a back answer to the host of the program which made us all get upset...
Later the lunch and the tour of the campus cheered all of us.
Overall, the SPARK program and Infosys visit was awesome!

Zodiac signs

Zodiac signs' dictionary meaning is: "an imaginary area of the sky containing the positions of the sun, the moon and the main planets, divided into 12 equal parts, named after 12 groups of stars. It is interesting to see how these stars effect the life of each individual living on Earth. This study of stars is an ancient science which rises curiosity in everyone. The study depends on the date of birth of the individual in the western countries and on the birth star in the Hindu astrology. The zodiac signs plays a vital role in match making and other aspects in Indian arranged marriage. Some people have strong beliefs in the forecast of these zodiac signs. However I do not believe in the predictions of the zodiac signs :) Jahnavi Participating in A to Z challenge

Bangles and Bracelets

Bangles are one of the most attractive and beautiful jewellery that I have seen. Having born and brought up in South India, I have seen almost all women wearing bangles. Bangles and Bracelets are auspicious and also very trending in the fashion industry now. Bangles are enchanting and are worn with style by women for special ocassions these days. There are several types of bangles in India but the ones that I have come across in Mysore and Bangalore are the single cylindrical shaped bracelet called kadaga which is usually made of silver, Glass bangles usually in the colors red and green , Gold bangles with various designs ( my favorite is the pepper corn design) , Gold bangles studded with diamonds and wooden bangles which are painted with designs. The kadagas are now mostly worn in the village areas compared to the cities like Mysore and Bangalore. The wooden bangles made in channapatna is popular amongst young girls. All these bangles are round in shape whereas the modern ba...

Vintage letters

Vintage letters are treasures for me. The art of writing letters was in practise since 300 A.D. After 16th century writing letters became an art. Letters were not just used for communication but it became an art also. The design of the letter took a uniform design when the British came to India and started ruling over. Even to this day in some villages of India, the post man or the teachers of the school should open the letter and read it. Today,some vintage letters are preserved in the families, in the Government offices, Parliaments and the collectors who fancy collecting vintage letters. I have preserved letters from Great grandfather and my GrandFather.  I feel that these vintage letters are some sort of treasure that I have. Funniest part is, it takes a long time to come to the matter itself because the starting two- three sentences is to be polite enquiries and whereabouts of each other and ending the letter used to be with elegant words. I will post some pictures of the ...
