Its hot !

ufff.. hot summers.. its chilling out here
and I am feeling this place.. more like a cage..
this place will always be, the 1 which anyone would like to flee
But this hostel life has not really been totally wasteful
now look here we are taught so many good lessons-

> The calm and cool Birthday celebrations ( i hope u get it.) taught us the lesson of non-violence and brotherhood as never before.. The way we guys congratulate and greet others on their B'days ( well its the time which is much more awaited by all other than only d b'day boy ) .. m talkin abt d birthday bumps yar.. its way of living in a society. It shows the existence of immense intimacy between guys of King's Palace-3 . yeah thats what true friendship seems to me!
> The delicious food ( Oh Paneer!!! yummy. look I started developing a taste for it ). It teaches us to respect the food and be thankful to hostels mess authorities for the little we are getting in our hostels ( mind the word 'little') :)
as such paneer is the only source of energy here for vegetarians like me
> Watching movies even a day before exams doesnt really teach us anything but its just to tell that we are sharp enough to vomit in few tragic hours of exams all what in entire semester's class we never thought of giving an ear to.
Anyways its true that theres a beautiful dawn awaiting after a gloomy night.
> Games !!! oh yes. playing it whole night really helps a lot in building ones concentration and keeping ones mind from silly thoughts and earthly tensions. its a divine thing to do. and yes ofcourse it keeps your laptops from rusting.

I really feel everyone should atleast ones experience this hostel life, full of fun . among all this you really do discover some true friends with whom you would like to hang out ( else they are always ready to Hang you out and then get themselves hung too). u rarely find such idiots!

Netbeans Technical session

I organized an OSUM meeting in my campus on February 28 in which I discussed about various programmes by SUN Microsystems for the benefit of students and teachers like OSUM, SAI and gave a technical demonstration on project development using Netbeans6.5 which was the most interesting part of the session.

Since the audience I targeted were mostly second year students well trained in their curriculum subjects like C++ and Operating Systems but having little or no background knowledge of Java, but were much enthusiastic to learn it. So, I planned to show them how easily and quickly can the projects be developed using Netbeans without the need of having a strong command on the language.

I began by telling them how easy and fun would C++ programming be in Netbeans, and hence can be used for their daily assignments. I introduced Netbeans as the IDE which they shall be using exhaustively in most of their future projects. Bundled with JavaSE,JavaEE, JavaME, JavaScript, Ruby, application and database servers and much more, Netbeans offers support for just anything one can think of!
I developed a sample project each in JavaSE, JavaEE and JavaME by typing down minimum number of Java Code lines by just using other features of Netbeans like drag and drop etc. trying to keep the complexity of the project minimum, so that it can be easily understood by the audience.
Students were really fascinated to see ease of development it offers in Mobile application in JavaME, after watching the development of a 'Login and Welcome' application in which I just typed in a single line of Java Code!
Everyone was willing to adapt Netbeans as their IDE at the end of the session.
At the end their was a usual quiz session with exciting goodies to be won. Netbeans DVDs were distributed among the Club members so than they can experiment, play and learn.

Think anything Code anything
