Hi Everyone, In my yester-years of engineering, I got to study various Laws that govern our physical world. While the rote learning took a toll and helped me clear my exams; I always wished if at all there was an interesting way to answer or depict any law that, I have studied. This article is dedicated to one such piece of work that, I came across which sort of quenches my thirst to find the quality and not the quantity. Please do read and leave a comment behind. Dr. Schambaugh, of the University of Oklahoma School of Chemical Engineering, Final Exam question for May of 1997. Dr. Schambaugh is known for asking questions such as, "Why do airplanes fly?" on his final exams. His one and only final exam question in May 1997 for his Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer II class was: "Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof." The following is an actual question given. The answer was so "profound" that the Professor shared it ...

It has been Three years that, I have graduated from my Engineering College. Life has come a long way since then and yet there are miles to go ahead. In my very short ongoing journey in the corporate jungle; I am blessed to meet people from various streams, attributed to the melting pot nature of the IT Industry. Yes, you guessed it right fellas, I am a Computer Engineer like the scores of other Comp Geeky guys!! :P ;) In my journey so far, I always wondered why did I choose Engineering and what did Engineering gave me in return.   The wise say:- An Engineer cannot be judged by his grades. The above line doesn't means that I have poor grades duh!!. There are many qualities that an engineer possessees, but might not found in his CV.  Below are few of those qualities that gives the engineer an extra edge over others the Edge-neers. 1. Career Scope An engineer can become anything they want, software developer, bank manager, IAS officer, Business...

Well this week I have something petty interesting. I was taking a stroll around my locality when it struck to me the happening phenomena with us. As if the early 90's where back I saw a lot many Bullet's (Royal Enfield) Well I returned to my abode and did a bit of my search for a bullet till I struck Gold. The same thing also compelled me to say Incredible India! The legend goes as such. Om Banna (also called Om Bana and Bullet Banna ) is a shrine located in Pali district near Jodhpur, India, devoted to a deity in the form of a motorcycle. It is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Pali and 50 kilometres (31 mi) away from Jodphur on the Pali-Jodhpur highway, near Chotila village. The motorcycle is a 350cc Royal Enfield Bullet. Hundreds of devotees turn up every day to pray for a safe journey. Om Bana's Bike   In 1988, Om Banna (formerly known as Om Singh Rathore) was travelling from the town known as Bangdi near Sanderao of Pali to Chotila when he ...

So This week there is something new that has come up. We all carve for an extraordinary life big bucks and all the luxuries of the world. But not all of us get what we want and those who get it do not value it or over see it. Well amidst these war of thoughts my mother asked me a question one fine day, "Uddhav ! Bill Gates created Microsoft when are you going to do something like that to be a Multi Trillionare!!!". Well as a self respecting Boy, I tired to defend my self and tired making her understand how IT Industry works. Now all Indian Mom's think that all Computer Science Graduate (Basically a Computer Engineer) gets minimum Rs 50,000 as a salary per month. Yet all in vain As a recourse to the shame I walked into, I resorted to the good old pal who is common to all "Becharas" like me The Internet. Please do leave your comment behind.

So Language Brings us to gather but also Divides us. While I am Still Coping with the thought provoking,flabbergasting and at times completely dumbfounding words of anecdoes. I and My Mother always have a long discussion over the pronunciation of word with the syllable phony which make them sound alike. This also reminds me of the scene from Chupke Chupke (A Hindi Movie Block Buster from 1975) wherein Dharmendra (one of the lead actors) recites a dialog "Sir To to ho sakta hai Do do ho sakta hai toh Go Go kyun hota hai GOO Kyun nai?" Let's face it - English is a crazy language There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England . We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, gro...
