Jain University
I strongly believed that the gap between
our today’s academic and the industry requirements is very huge. The course syllabus
especially in various Indian Universities for Computer science is very outdated
as compared to the technology trends & innovations that are happening.
When I was offered an opportunity to
change the above situation I just accepted with honors – Glad & very grateful
to be appointed in the Board of Studies for the Department of Computer Science
at Jain University.
The Board of Studies
under the department of Computer Science is constituted by the competent
authority for going through certain proposals for introducing new and
innovative programmes in the field of Computer Applications and Information Technology.
As I am committed to give my best to this role I plan to
bring in the following:
- Computer Science syllabus updated with the latest web & mobile technology
- More of practicals, workshops & lab sessions.
- Industrial live projects for students to build experience.
- Best practices of programming & IT management.
Taking this opportunity to thank Jain University
for the belief in me & for driving the change in academics that’s very much
needed in the best interest of the students & Industry.
Strengths & Challenges in India
These days there are a
lot of talks & announcements from all the major operators about 4G.It’s too
exciting as Fourth generation, or 4G technology offers mobile internet access
at three times the speed of 3G.
4G offers:-
- Higher bandwidth with a very quick access to the internet
- Easily watch TV, streaming videos, albums, and also get access to social media, information, entertainment and online stores
- Valuable Service: Multimedia games, HD videos, e-commerce, mHealth, mCommerce, mobile vault
- Video conference
- M2M (Machine to Machine)
4G Top challenges:-
- Voice and SMS not supported on 4G
- Uses USIM (Universal Subscriber Identification Module) which is different from current SIM since it is a 128 KB SIM thus needs a change in mobile number
- Launched in only few citied of India eg: Blore, Pune, Koltata etc
- Limited area coverage; 4G roaming
- Lack of connected devices; few 4G supporting handsets & datacards
It will be very exciting to see the incredible changes that 4G can bring into India....I can’t wait to see!

25 THINGS TO DO
It’s nearly been seven months since I completed 27 years. As you grow
older, there is some kind of emancipation you get that allows you to
experiment with lot of things. I am probably in that phase right now.
There have been several things that I always wanted to do, but somehow
couldn’t manage to do it. Keeping in mind the fact that I am getting
older day by day, I rather pull up my socks and go on a massive spree to
achieve it.
It’s been quite a while since I thought I should pen down the 27 things
to do before I turn 28! Surprisingly, it took nearly half a year to even
jot down what I want to do the next one year. This is more or less like
a test for me to see whether or not I am able to achieve the things I
wish for! So, here’s the list... (In random order)
- To lose weight. (I am working on it )
- To write clean copies. (Not even a ‘comma’ should be edited!)
- To learn Hindi.Arabic
- To meet my favourite celebrity – Rajinikanth.Aishwarya rai
- Meet my first crush and tell her that I still couldn’t find a girl(swe....) like her
- To get purple streaks.
- To get a butterfly tattoo on my shoulder.
- To go on a blind date.
- To join Jane Austin’s/ Nicholas Sparks $ chetan Book club.
- To travel all by myself and enjoy a trip with strangers (I am done with this).
- To learn an instrument, preferably, guitar.Drums
- To take my dad for a rock concert.
- To invest some good money in a Sony camera and go on a photo trail.
- To learn the art of cooking.only veg
- To learn a new language.
- To learn the art of managing finances.
- To fight my laziness.
- Learn to drive a car. (My friend tells me that if you learn to drive a car, will then you become an independent person).
- To watch a movie alone in a PVR theatre.
- To learn kickboxing.
- To stop being a compulsive buyer.
- To live a life in my own rules.
- To fall in love.
- To marry :)
- to start own company

TULUNADU LIVING STYLE
PEOPLE
This
city has given shelter to people from all walks of life. People of
various professions and crafts have migrated to this region at different
times. Kannada, Marathi, Konkani and Malayalam speaking people have joined those practicing the same profession here. The migrants have joined the mainstream of Tulunadu through marriage and professional relations. Hinduism
is followed by about 60% of the population. Among the indigenous
Hindus, the Billavas, Bunts and Mogaveeras from the biggest groups.
Besides the Hindu pantheon of gods, the Mother goddess, Naga (the serpent god) and divine spirits are worshipped throughout the district.
Around 12% of the district population are followers of Christianity. The ancestors of many Mangalore Christians are Goans who were welcomed by the rulers of Bednore for their skill in agriculture. Konkani speaking Catholics Christians , Konkani's, Bunts, and Poojari's are the highest in number. Muslims
constitute about 18% of the population. The arab traders who came in
7th century to Mangalore married local women and their progeny were
named Bearys in Mangalore (Mangalore is also called South Kanara). Here you can also find sizeable group of people who were basically land owners, following Jainism. Some famous Jain centers of pilgrimage are located here like Gomateshwara Betta in Karkala and Dharmastala and some more Jain temples in Moodbidri. Buddhism also flourished here in the early centuries. There is evidence for this in the caves of Kadri Temple in Mangalore.
Mangalore is a small place even though it has many interesting places.
It has been a tourist attraction place for many years. Mangalore has
got some of the good hotels with comfortable Boarding and Lodging for
the tourists at reasonable prices.It makes any tourist feel Home away
from Home, that is the reason once visited would like to come back again
and again.

Mangalore is rich in Tradition and Culture. Mangaloreans are not very orthodox. All the Festivals, rituals and customs are very unique from rest of India.
Traditionally, men wear Panche or Lungi (Mundu as called in Tulu), usually most men wear white colour mundu only. The women folk wear Saree and Blouse, young girls wear langa and blouse. The older women wear hand woven saree (Maggada saree). These days due to strong city influence young girls have started wearing nighties and Chudidars.

Their hands are decorated by coloured glass Bangles (kuppida kaaji in tulu), ears with gold ear rings, finger with the gold wedding ring (Voddi Ungila) and nose with a single white stone stud (Moonkuthi in tulu). Men as such do not wear any gold, but these days you can find men wearing gold chain and finger ring.

pickle and butter milk. This region is famous for its unique seafood

curries to pungent masala fried fish, grilled or curried Tiger Prawns,

Google Glass
146

Google Glass isn’t
ready for prime time. Even Google knows this, which is why it hasn't
shipped to the masses yet. Instead, Google floated a few units to “Explorers,”
glorified guinea pigs who can enjoy the joys and trials of this
cuttingest edge of cutting edge technologies. But nascent or not, Glass exists, and it works.
Or at least it "works." Developers are still getting their feet wet,
high-profile apps like Twitter and Facebook feel more like experiments
than finished products, and bugs aren’t the exception, they’re the rule.
But, you know, the thing turns on, and hears you say "Okay, Glass," and
eagerly awaits your next command. Beyond the home screen, it’s up to
Glass Explorers to wade through the good apps, the bad apps, and the
broken apps, and we're right there with them. We went exploring, and
this is what Glass can do; right here, right now.
And for those of you without
Glass, hopefully we can help you live vicariously through our
misadventures and humble GIF illustrations. Glass is a strange beast,
and it can take a while to get used to and understand what it’s trying
to do. Maybe we’ll make you jealous, or maybe you’ll decide Glass is a
worthless piece of trash. Either way, we hope we can shed light on the
mystery, the wonder, and the social awkwardness that is Glass.
We’ll be updating this list as
new apps come out, and old apps are updated or made obsolete, so keep
checking back. And if you see an app we haven’t covered yet, make sure
to let us know!
Glass basics
Glass’ basic paradigm is one of
a "timeline" full of "cards." Each card, when tapped, can reveal more
cards, or present actions like "reply" or "delete." Some cards can be
"pinned," which places them to the left of the home screen. Otherwise,
cards are sorted chronologically to the right of the home screen.
While Glass’ best known
interaction method is the verbal "Okay, Glass" prompt, most of the UI
can only be operated by swipes and taps. Outside of the homescreen, the
only time you’ll be speaking is when you’re composing a text reply to a
card in your timeline (like an email message, or a tweet). While voice
might seem like a gimmick, it’s actually preferable to the
hypersensitive touchpad at times — we’ve accidentally tapped to share a
photo with the wrong Google+ contact a dozen times, simply because Glass
registers a tap instead of a swipe. At least when you’re talking you
get a chance to cancel the action if you’re misheard.
Glass’ very simplicity means
there’s actually a steep learning curve: You have to use Glass how
Google wants you to use Glass, or it just doesn’t work. Also, you have
to be really good at swiping and tapplove & respect the women
In a society like ours, being a man is more difficult than just having a
male body. If you cannot taunt on a woman's body, you aren't man
enough. If you can't embarass a woman for her sexuality then your own
sexuality shall be questioned. If you can't make fun of a gay friend,
then you must be a gay yourself and hence you should be made fun of. If
you are managing your career in order to accomodate your wife's career,
you are weak and if you get your wife to quit her career so that she can
cook for you and rear kids for you, you are a man. if you do well in
life and are 'eligible' for a heavy dowry but decide to marry to a woman
you love, outside your caste and without any dowry, you are a fool who
has been trapped by a girl.
Every one will teach you in school that you should treat women with
respect and that woman is a 'devi' and we worship her. They'll teach you
that she is a mother, a sister, a wife and a daughter and hence love
her. But just no one bothers to say that love her just because she is
just another person. If you are to be referred to as just you, why
should she be referred as someone's mom, or sister or wife. She is what
she is. Why is it so difficult for you to accept that.
You must have been a great success in life, but so can she be. Intellect
is not a function of sex and neither is stupidity or morality. Just
because you have a very good career, you will tell your wife to stay at
home as she doesn't need to work anymore. Why the hell do you need to
work then, if she has a good job? If you are in a job that means a lot
of transfers, why should she quit working and move with you? Why can't
she continue her career and you manage accordingly? Oh sure, because you
are a man, and she is not. You are the breadwinner, despite the fact
that she can not only earn the bread better than you can but also can
make that bread and feed it to your kids. At all of these you are worse
off than her. But never mind, you are a man. You are supposed to feel
superior though you know that you are far weaker than her.
If you get drunk, it is okay as you are a guy, but if she drinks, it is
not good, bcause our 'national tradition' does not prefer women
drinking. If you eye other women, just because you can never get over a
woman's body, it is normal, but if she dresses up in manner to catch a
man's attention, she should be corrected. You can fanatsize about a
woman whether she is a teacher dressed well or a housemaid dressed
poorly, but if your girlfriend dresses in a manner that appears
revealing to you, you surely will feel humiliated and insecure. Because
no one knows the other men better than you. You just can't accept the
fact that all other men will look at your girl in the manner you look at
other girls. And since you are feeble and weak to stop other males, you
would try all tricks to control your lady.
Why does it take you so much effort to see that she is just a person,
very much like you. She can have a different body, a different
physiology and a different psychology, but why don't you just let it be.
She also has the freedom to get drunk and make her career the way she
wants it to be. She has the right to dress in the manner she wishes
because she is doing it for herself and for you. And if she does want to
attract other men fight the other men, if you will, let her be what she
is. Love your lady for what she is and stop giving a damn to what the
world tells you.

Treat Women With Respect- Make A Promise
Women have always played an important role in improving the
conditions of the society. Woman is the eye of this world, woman is the mother
of this world, and woman is the symbol of sacrifices. An educated lady makes
whole world educated. If a man is educated then only one or two persons might
be educated, but if woman is educated, then the entire family will be educated.
There is saying in Sanskrit “yatra naryastu pujyante ramante tatra devata”,
means Gods live in the place where, women are respected. It means, Gods will
not live in India as there is no respect for women in the land of “Mother India”!
My Painting Describing Women!
By looking at the today’s scenario, I doubt Am I in the same
India, where women are used to treat as Goddesses? Forget about Goddess, they
are not even treated as humans! The recent studies in India say that
·
- In India, 1 crime is committed against women every 3 minutes.
- 1 Molestation case every 15 minutes
- 1 Sexual Harassment Case every 53 minutes
- 4 out of 10 women have experienced violence at home
