Practicals...!!


As usual, this is a post after a rather long time, owning to the fact that i do not get time to sit, think and type at the same time due to lack of time. Just had my S3 survey practical yesterday and with that done, S3 is all wrapped up(hopefully) though in order to confirm it we have to anxiously await the results which will be arriving shortly. Yes, and yesterday morning, well i was tensed, come to analyse, its pretty interesting.
The first time I had to do practicals was back at school, in my 9th standard i believe, where we used to have chemistry and physics practicals, I must admit I was never all that impressed by those, maybe because of the sole reason that all the things we did were pretty inefficient. Anyway I dint have a practical exam back then, so we used to consider lab hours as free hours, nd have a gala time. But slowly as we entered the 11th standard, we realised the reality, that we had to give an exam at the end of 12th. I was least bothered initially, but slowly realisation dawned and i started becoming serious with it. Neway i soon realised the hard way that having a serious and studious "study" can in no way help you in practicals, its an entirely different deal alltogether.
Finally we were there in the exam hall, and for chemistry i still remember loosing all my patience and finally resorting to copy from my adjacent guy's answer sheet who had in turn done the same from his neighbour :| All of us were busy trying to fool the external teachers, finally after a combined effort by all the 30 students in that hall, all of us managed to pass :) Remember the fact that this was our board exam, if we had in any way been caught.....
The I was into college, at my arogant , ignorant best I was, least serious and all casual in my 1st year(result was not too good obviously, but still it was not that bad !!), and I went and wrote all the exams without even realising the fact that people fail in exams :| The point is that i was least concerned. But then at the end of it all came the practicals(workshop to be precise), and that was the 1st time since i entered college that I felt a certain kind of uneasiness, had I taken my casual attitude a bit too far? would I fail?? supply ?:'(
But I was lucky that time as well, I guess everyone was, as none failed( i think..) All that anxiety was for nothin. And the latest time i felt such a thing was yesterday, my surv. practical, well, im keeping my mouth shut on that, let the results be out, mayb then i will say somehting on that ;)


Note: I had a much better emotional thing in my mind yest morning, jus before i was about to appear for the exam, but seems Im overwhelmed now that its over, nd hence can't convey it with the intensity i wanted :'(

Decision Sciences - Post 1

#ShortPost - will cover it all over a period of time With the increasing importance of data in making decisions, let us look at some of the data related terms used in statistics which can help you make data driven decisions. Types of variables: Two important types of variables which should not leave you stunned are: Categorical (or nominal) variables Ordinal variables Categorical:  A categorical variable (sometimes called a nominal variable) is one that has two or more categories, but there is no intrinsic ordering to the categories. Ordinal: An ordinal variable is similar to a categorical variable.  The difference between the two is that there is a clear ordering of the variables.  Interval: An interval variable is similar to an ordinal variable, except that the intervals between the values of the interval variable are equally spaced.  Check the following link for more details: http://stats.idre.ucla.edu/other/mult-pkg/w...

Telangana: Do or Don't

I write this just a few minutes after a discussion with my team at work. Well it was a heated as well as a humorous debate but I was just a silent spectator as mostly Andhra guys were speaking and for the record, we had people belonging to Seemandhra(Non Telangana) and Telangana side as well. My honest opinion in this issue is that a state should not be divided. I have not done a detailed research about this topic so far. Today I heard some claims that Telangana people have been deprived of many resources and opportunities for a long period of time. If that is the case then a lot more has to be understood by myself before I pass a statement on this issue. However my general stand that a state should not be divided remains firm. What is this issue all about? Why did it come up for discussion today? The basic reason is the fact that, today in all leading national newspapers, the headline is: To quote Times of India: " Protest continues; trains, airports, hospital services...

How Flickr Did It Right

First of all, I would like to thank Chris Brogan for giving bloggers like me something to write about. Yes. In his blog he has given a list of 100 topics which he hopes that bloggers write about. In his blog he has clearly explained how some people approach him and ask about how he manages to get topics to blog about each day. He has explained how his situation is quite the opposite as for him, he has too much to write about. Not boring you anymore with my reporting. "He said, He hopes, He explained" Ok no more. So one of the topics I got from that list was: "How Flickr Did It Right" There were  a variety of topics to choose from but I chose this because I wanted to do some research before writing. Let me be honest here. At this moment when I start writing I have no clue what it is. Yes I do know its part of the popular new generation networking band wagon and that it has something to do with sharing. Maybe pics or reports or articles. I donno. In fact, I dou...
