Farmers appraisal time!!!

 Finally our Farmers got the report card from our Leaders….

# ”There are power cuts in both Gujarat and Maharashtra. The farmers in Gujarat, just like the farmers here, chew tobacco. But after (having finished) chewing tobacco, the farmers in Gujarat go to work whereas the farmers here sit idly,” Union Textile Minister Shankersinh Vaghela, said during a visit to Akola.

# “The farmers experiment a lot. They add excess water and small stones to bulk up the weight of their produce,” chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh has said.

Is this really justifiable.. Are our farmers really lazy… I was least expecting this statement from our political community at this juncture where our farmers are just struggling to recover from a horrible situation. I don’t think we need to remind our farmers of their duty. Being from an agricultural fraternity i know what a farmer is and his day in n day out.

Our farmers should come of age to answer these petty politicians….!

Height of performance pressure….

The Myths and Facts of Protocol Testing…

I always wanted share some of the thoughts of so called Protocol Testing, thanks to web log which has provided me a podium to share this. Forget about common man, many in the IT arena itself, professionals think that protocol testing is hard to understand and that is the only reason people tend to obstinate from pursuing this as their favorite career. Let me clear some of the doubts for those people who wish to pursue this as their long term career.

Myths:
Am not from CS/EC engg background and hence this is not my cup of coffee. Its hard to learn. Should know every TDH of Computer Communication. Done software testing course and know only application software testing and hence finding this as difficult. Don’t know what the heck this protocol means. Should be expert in scripting languages like Perl, Tcl, etc. Should be sound in C Programming. Have sound knowledge in Protocols but don’t have testing experience and hence my profile doesn’t match the requirement. Not finding any institutes offering this course….. and the list goes on…

Facts:

Though CS and E&C background is necessary for this profile it is not mandatory, I have seen many guys from Electrical, Mechanical,IT, streams who are doing very well in this field. I think it is just a matter of preference. You don’t have to know every networking concept on this earth, Networking basics would be suffice. you can find all the necessary networking basics information from the following link http://cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_documentation.html.

I have been in this field for more than 3 years and i never find it difficult to learn albeit nothing comes without hard work. If you are already did your software testing course then you are half done, now read all the networking basics and put in your resume. You don’t have to know each and every protocol in networking technology just make sure that you know at least 3 protocols (like RIP,OPSF,ISIS,BGP,SNMP,IPSEC etc). You don’t have to be expert in scripting but atleast brush up the Tcl/Tk basics, i think it will take around 3-4 days if you know C program.

Even if you are not good in programming don’t worry, all good programmers will be there to write codes. We are here to test and for testing you don’t have to know programming although it helps in exploring new test cases. I have seen many people complaining about don’t having testing experience but knowing in and out of protocols functionality, my advice for them is to get enroll in one of the testing course institute. I know, not many institutes are offering protocol testing course. My suggestion is just hang on with Google you will get everything, again it entirely depends on acumen of your searching.

Cisco Certifications do matter a lot if you are planning for a long term career. Certifications not only helps you in enhancing your skill/knowledge but also get you recognition which is priceless, esp when you did with your Certifications such as CCIE,CCSP..etc.

Finally, knowing all the above said things will sometimes puts you in soup, unless your CV matches the requirement. At this point of time i urge you to write your resume with utmost care, get sample resumes from Google do lot of groundwork before coming up with your final resume.

I have tried my best to clear some of the doubts, do let me know your comments if you have anything to suggest/share.

India @ 60

Come this Wednesday, India will be celebrating her 60th year of Independence with much rejoice. For many of us it has become a ritual rather than a tribute to our nation.

At the age of sixty for many of us, life will be a full circle, But for our Nation @ 60 is just started off. she is slowly and steadily marking her presence on the global arena.

India is resilient as she has to survive Moghuls, British and yet she is still strong enough to overcome any problems. Someone rightly said India is not at all a country, it is an imagination and the power which is running this imagination is the Democracy.

If you ask me which is India’s biggest strength then i would say Democracy. India is the world’s biggest democratic nation. In fact people lost faith in this very whole process when Indira gandhi imposed emergency in 1975 which sent all prominent politicians into prison and they even snatched fundamental rights of our citizens which our constitution provided.

After this unfortunate event everybody has thought India would no longer survive, But again after the fresh election held in march 1977, Indira gandhi and then congress won with full majority. That incident proved Indian’s have full faith in Democracy.

Some people will always have a tendency to compare India with US,UK, Australia.. etc.
India is unique from all the above said countries. India is a nation where you can get to see different culture,food,language for every 100 kms. India doesnt have one official language as they have, India has 22 official languages. with all these stated differences India believes in unity in diversity.

From the past 60 yrs India is suffering from all problems, Be it poverty, unemployment, Bureaucracy, Terrorism, Corruption, etc With all the stated problems India is growing at an average of 9% GDP. Incredible isn’t it?

India is the only nation where you can win elections sitting in a prison, India is the only nation wherein cities like Mumbai can woke up so peacefully a day after the Blasts as if nothing has happened to it. India has every problems on this earth, at the same time it has the potential to absorb all these evils and still showing the bright way for a millions of youngsters like us.

India is making her mark in all sectors be it Manufacturing, Service, IT, Finance, Agriculture..etc.Its standard are on par with MNCs. Indian companies have literally come of age in buying foreign companies. For example take TATA, Wipro, Infosys etc all are globally proved themselves and even they successfully managed to buyout foreign firms.

Slowly but steadily India is sending strong signals of development to every nook and corner of the earth in every aspects.

I am proud to be an Indian… Don’t you?

Our former president Abdul Kalam’s Developed India will soon be a reality…i wish we will be living in developed India very soon.

Chak De INDIA

Finally King Khan is back with a bang!! After Swades and Paheli, this time with one more offbeat character where he plays as a coach of the Indian Women’s Hockey team. His role as a coach is considered as one of the most challenging character ever played by SRK.

In a country where Hockey game is treated as bad as it can be, Director Shimit Amin did in fact dared to chose this as main theme of his film. He has showed his brilliance in every frame and it even shows how meticulously he has done his research on this game. Thanks to his patience which made this movie so great to watch in every aspect.

Initially i was little bit hesitant to watch this movie which is fully loaded with Hockey stuff as i am basically Cricket enthusiast. But this movie is a eye opener for me which shows every technical details of the game that really made me to think twice before commenting on this game. Director has given equal attention to every actor without any discrimination that shows his prowess.

The Film is based on a real life character called kabir Khan (Played by SRK) who himself an Indian Hockey team captain which loses against Pakistan and he was inturn made a scapegoat for that loss. Kabir khan wanted to disprove all the allegations made against him and for this he opts a daunting task as to coach Indian Women’s Hockey team which is no where near the visible horizon. His only aim is to make this meek Indian team to win the Hockey world cup, which is next to impossible.You have to watch it to believe it.. its really an electrifying experience.

All actors(in fact Hockey players) are indeed putup a great show together, Dialogues are quite catchy esp sattar minute ka. We need to encourage these kind of movies otherwise we will get to see junk movies like JBJ,partner…etc. We really need to appreciate the producers(Yash raj) as well, as they dared to put money on these type of projects.
There is lot more to learn from this movie esp for our IHF, which is on the verge of precipitation.

A must watch for every Indian.. Chak De India!!!!
