My BTP - a big MESS!!


My BTP: (B.Tech Project) is seemed to be big MESS!! We are putting ourselves hard (not really) on final year B.Tech project. Our project is on - "Study of various variables in cementation of copper on iron". First few days we tried to come to common analysis method for determination of copper in sulfate solution. After a lot discussion we come a method that I'm stating below:

Take copper sulfate powder and dissolve in a water completely. Add about 2 grams of KI in it. Solution will become brown. Titrate it against N/10 sodium thiosulfate. When solution become faint in yellow color add freshly prepared Starch in it, solution will become blue. Continue the titration till solution become white. Calculate the amount of sodium thiosulfate consumed.

% Cu= N/10 sodium thiosulfate consumed * 0.6345 / amount of copper sulfate ( in grams)

Cementation reaction: Cuso4+ Fe = Feso4 + Cu (On iron)



We perfomed this experiment many times. Prerna help me through her presence and cold water. Chandak & Shiv tried to be there in lab and that is enough for me. They are also putting efforts to complete the stuff, afterall it is their project too. Prachi, Nandu and Parul are also doing some experiments in same lab so sometimes we feel happy that we are not the only one who are suffering.

After doing many analysis test on different samples every time we got the result which was absurd. Even in samples we are not getting any results. Our project guides Narang sir and SKG sir everyday instruct us to do different what we have done in that day. So it is becoming a complete messsss now. I dont know how we will going to complete it. God save us we have to write the report too.

Rajasthan Royals Team Anthem - Halla Bol

Rajasthan Royals - Halla Bol

Rajasthan Royals vs Punjab Kings XI
Rajasthan Royals Rocks!!

Breathtaking – if there’s one word to describe the match of the DLF Indian Premier League (IPL) that took place at Jaipur yesterday, that would be just the right word. This is my first experience of any 20-twenty cricket match in stadium. SMS Stadium is completely occupied. I purchased a 500/- ticket in 250/- only as they were selling them at lower price due to no rush. But soon as this price was lowered every ticket is sold out. We reached stadium before 1 hour of starting time of the match.

Ila Arun performed the anthem of Rajasthan Royals. Whole atmosphere was just fascinating. Dance by Sameera Reddy was too sexy and what more I can say:
बस मज़ा ही आ गया . IPL is Sheer Entertainment . The Redskins Cheerleaders, dressed in red, yellow and white, and flashing their red pompoms, were an instant hit among the spectators. Style razzmatazz, scurrying lasers, resplendent fireworks and dancers/cheerleaders from around the world, set the tone for the tournament.

Match:
Nail Bitter
Rajasthan Royals romped to a six-wicket win against Kings XI Punjab in the sixth Indian Premier League match (IPL) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The Jaipur team chased the 167-run target, set by the Punjab team, at the loss of four wickets in 18.1 overs. For the home team, Shane Watson slammed his first IPL fifty, as he scored an unbeaten innings of 76 runs. In their match here at Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Shane Warne cast a spell on Punjab's batsmen, finishing with 3-19 in his four overs.

Preity's prayers fails to show colors @ IPL
Preity and Ness may be upset with their team's defeat but the match was a pura paisa wasool for the crowd as they got to witness a spectacular innings. But it is only the beginning and more games, more entertainment and more twists and turns will be seen in the coming matches. So, Preity should not be disheartened.

My IIM shillong interview experience

Hi everyone
I appeared on this 18th April for IIMS interview. My interview was scheduled in IIFT Delhi.

I reached at center about half hour earlier. In my group there were 10 people shortlisted for the interview but only two were present(including me) so we are merged with other group.

In first round there was a GD based on a case study: 5 mins to read and think. 15 mins to discuss and 5 mins to summerize.
Case: There is railway dept in some swapiland and there were a lots of complaints from customers as well as media about punctuality of trains. So MD appointed Robert to solve the problem. He gave him one year to solve. I told him if he succeeded all credits will be his if failed he is responsible.

Robert take survey and called all drivers and station master and warned them if they are not in schedule they will be fined. When it was nearly to complete the year he come to know that nothing changed as such. Drivers and SM blames bad track and old engines.
Meanwhile he was called for review meeting with MD.

What should Robert do???

Discussion was quite good. Everybody take part in discussion. I also gave three four markble entries.

Interview::
Panel- 2 profs from IIMC and 1 from IIMA.

P.1: What r u doing?
me: i'm persuing my B.tech from MNIT jaipur in metallurgical engg.

P1: So tell me something about your btech project.
Me: explained something which I had not done. Trying to show that I'm doing something ( all engineers know that I really have to do nothing in BTP)
P2: asked me to show my certis for verification

P1: Give me the equation of the curve that u draw?
Me: I draw a parabola but forget the equation ( How fool i'm)

P2: What do u think abt reservation policy?

P2: be specific about your point of view
Me: Should not be there
P2: What do u think abt govt policy to waveoff loans of 60000 crores of farners?

Again on same parabolic curve
P3: If I through a stone what will be the curve of force vs distance
Me: draw a parabolic curve
P1: Write its equation?
Me: (how do i remember I studied this in 12th std.) I write Y (sqaure)= 4aX

Moments - 2008

Moments - the annual photographic exhibition @ MNIT Jaipur

Photography can be a means of capturing special moments, fascinating places, interesting objects or even captivating faces. But beyond that, there's also another dimension to a photograph. When delving deeper into the pixels, it triggers thoughts and expressions that go much beyond the frame. This is the same thing one can notice at MOMENTS -08.

Photographs are categorized in categories like
Campus life, Nature, Issues, Abstract, Engineering Marvels , Portraits and story with photographs. Nearly more than 200 hundreds of piece of work is shown on the walls of exhibition hall. Some of these photos are such that one can be amused that these are clicked by engineering students not by a professional photographer. Photos in abstract category are much better. They really seems to be very professional.

A very interesting story by Gurudatta is worth mentioning. This story have 8 pictures of Dheeraj Agarwal (Neta) doing some stunt on a tree. Caption for the story is "
हम आज भी बन्दर हैं ". Story is descriptive in a very nicely written poem. These photo seems to be funny but carries important message that where we are heading for. I will publish the whole story with pictures soon.

A interesting thing happen with me is that due to some reasons i was not able to submit my entries still I think I was too able to make my presence in the exhibition. I'm posting some of them for your viewing .Please lemme know whether they are good enough to be there or not.

Review - Krazzy 4


In one word - A bit bore

I went for the movie for first show. I found Jaideep Sen's directorial debut more thriller than comedy.
Plot of the movie is on
four madmen of varying mental disability out on the town and involved in a kidnapping. Movie has Angry Arshad, Freedom-Fighter Rajpal, Irrfan the Compulsive Cleaner and Menon the Mute, all heading out to watch an India-England cricket match on Independence day, something Dr Juhi Chawla thinks would teach them the value of teamwork.

Doctor Juhi is then kidnapped by some cops as they want that she prove Mukesh Rishi ( terrorist) mentally ill so that he can be easily made free from hospital. Also her husband also involve in this conspiracy. These four crazzy men after a lot of boring sequels finally open it all.
There are a couple of well-conceived sequences, like a mall-full of shoppers standing at attention during the national anthem hitting out at goons for not doing the same, and the idea of a begging song, but the jokes are lost in the execution.

First half of movie is seriously boring as Comedy is not that situational and also fail to catch viewers nerves. Second half is more promising as Rajpal and Irrfan are cracking some madness that really made people laugh.




What that should discuss here are ITEM tracks. Movie has three songs-- one on Rakhi Sawant - has skinny show , nothing special about music , Second on SRK and last one on Hrithik. This Hrithik number is seemed to alarmingly have a 'bit of a Michael Jackson thing going on'. SRK's track has very poor choreography. I'm searching who choreographed this track?

I said, it's not horrible. You can watch the film without cringing.


I rate this movie **

मैं कभी बतलाता नहीं...

मैं कभी बतलाता नहीं... पर semester से डरता हूँ मैं माँ ...|
यूं तो मैं दिखलाता नहीं ... grades की परवाह करता हूँ मैं माँ ..|
तुझे सब है पता ....है न माँ ||

किताबों में ...यूं न छोडो मुझे..
chapters के नाम भी न बतला पाऊँ माँ |
वह भी तो ...इतने सारे हैं....
याद भी अब तो आ न पाएं माँ ...|


क्या इतना गधा हूँ मैं माँ ..
क्या इतना गधा हूँ मैं माँ ..||

जब भी कभी ..invigilator मुझे ..
जो गौर से ..आँखों से घूरता है माँ ...
मेरी नज़र ..ढूंढे qstn paper...सोचूं यही ..
कोई सवाल तो बन जायेगा.....||

उनसे में ...यह कहता नहीं ..बगल वाले से टापता हूँ मैं माँ |
चेहरे पे ...आने देता नहीं...दिल ही दिल में घबराता हूँ माँ ||


तुझे सब है पता .. है न माँ ..|
तुझे सब है पता

I'm back


From last few days or I say from nearly a month I'm not posting anything to this blog. I'm working on another blog on wordpress which is my tribute to Hindi Poetry.

Past few months in my life are not that great as I'm expecting. These are the months of Music and drama in college so time passed very quickly. I love such events. Rajasthan also celebrated his 60th anniversary.

Some how in last few days a build up an interest in hindi poetry. I like to learn more about it. My next post will cover that part too.
