That's my city
This is what my HOD Dr R. Nadarajan had to say about my college,
"As far as PSG College of Technology is concerned, there is no gap between theory & practice. But in addition to what is thought in curriculum we provide some extra training, which are actually very much required by the industry. In that way our students are salable in the market."

short trip to Tech
Its a great feel to walk across those blue gates wearing a round neck t-shirt and jean. :) Also not with a dumb indentification card hanging around one's neck. This time the watchman didn't stop me! Its always said that Tech will grow only vertically, and they are keeping up their word. Lot of changes after the flyover across the NH.
- My favourite bike stand is removed and a 5 floor building is coming up. I will be the last one to run and hand over the token to the security and take my bike outside.
- Another 5 floor class rooms (F-block) are fully functional over the canteen.
- The production department industry is swept away and 4 floor class rooms are coming up. This means E-Block, M-Block (towards the far corner), J-Block, F-Block will be interconnected across in the 2nd floor.
- One more new block is coming up in the industry area adjacent to canteen.
- NMB has improved 3 folds and interesting you find girls inside. :P
- VG mess is renamed. Guess someone acquired it. ;)
- Roads are really spacious, but yeah no trees! :(
- Some kind of ID card reader is placed at the CC, OCL doors.
- More than all, a new arc has come up for the Management block. That will be the main entrance for PSG IMS and Hostel.
A locked HOD room, Green land, NMB tea and the Xerox shop are those that has not changed!

My Best Professor
It's two years since I'm out of college. All through five years, there were one or two papers that interested me each semester. Many reasons for the interest, either the course itself or the professor who handled it. Of them here is one of my favorite professors at PSG Tech.
Dr P. Navaneethan. He is a professor and Head of Electrical and Electronics Department (EEE). He was professor in Mathematics and Computer Applications department when I was studying and usually used to handle Computer Networks and Computer Architecture. But being bored of taking the routine, he handled Java and Windows Programming. He always carried hand written notes for a subject. Just that. I seriously envy my seniors for whom he handled Computer Networks and Microprocessors.
He is one professor whose classes I did not want to miss. In fact I was present for all his classes for the entire semester except the last two classes I had to miss 'coz I fell ill. I have preserved the notes for Java. That would be my all time reference. I can still vividly remember the Consumer Producer problem he explained. He always had answers for questions. If not on the same day, it will be the next time we meet. Once we had a question in Java streams (if I'm right) and the next day he came back with solution after working until 2am that night. You dont see that from many professors! Also once he had a hand written proof for a problem running for pages and handed it over to us.
His evaluation of how students grasp his teaching is astounding. Most of his question papers will not be direct questions. Questions will always be based on the understanding on the subject rather than mugging capacity. Also once myself, arun and karthik were in a team demonstrating a Windows Programming package. After all days of late night coding we got ready for the demo. Just during the demo, there was an exception and it crashed. Each of us were confused as to why it happened. It's a bad impression when you are demoing it to your professor. But he said humbly, "Even Bill gates got a blue screen when demoing Windows.So take your time fix it and call me again.." We fixed it and had a great demo that day!
Also on of his work along with some of the brains of my dept that interested me was Panditham. An optimal character oriented protocol for Tamil and Multilingual computing. Also the brain behind last week @ PSG tech news letter.
A humble and down to earth person. He is celebrating his birthday on April 25th. Wishing Sir a very Happy Birthday! Feeling lucky to learn under you sir!

He is one of the two teachers, whose class room scenarios, I remember vividly, even after these many years.
At the end of each class, Selecting a person for: "To quickly summarize ..." is something I never forget. I use this same strategy in my company meetings (so that nobody sleeps ;) )
While correcting answer papers, he spots and mentions about mistakes in not just in the subject but also in the English grammar.
In the multitude of Indian lecturers who just talk theory and don't do anything practically, he is an achiever with his actions.
A humble and honest person who does not look at students either with ego or with "You are inferior to me" mindset, which is prevalent in Indian teachers.
The other person whom I mentioned in the beginning is Mr. Robert who handled Operating Systems for us. If I were to ever become a lecturer, Dr. Navaneethan and Dr. Robert on some aspects, will be my role models.

I remember the BIS, DIS and the DataReader things he taught in the class. For my final project I told him that I dint code at all(i generally don't!) only my team mate Revathi coded. She in-turn said the ideas were his(like always :P). He immediately said not everyone code in a team and I got full credit from his side.
I asked him for the reco letters. I wrote him a template. He ignored that and wrote an altogether new thing and it was all about how I interacted in the class and my performance. I was amazed with words about me. It was a real privilege..
Apart from his professional career I simply love him for the social responsibilities he has. Everyone knows about this aspect. He hasn't changed one bit after he has become the HOD of EEE.
Happy Birthday Sir!

Indeed he is our best prof. The great characteristic about him is to put forward his thoughts with a practical approach.
Personally i had the privilege to attend his class and i can proudly say that my practical approach took a drastic change because of his classes.

I can never forget his first week of Windows Programing class, the way he started and finally linked the whole workflow, too good...
Arun Ragavender said:
I was truly mesmerized by his teaching and he is the example I quote when ever I discuss something about lecturers/professors. His approach of taking a example application and explaining things based on that is what makes him amazing. He can think of examples that can help us learn a topic end to end.
I still remember when experimenting his example of RPC in Java, I called for help as his example was giving some runtime errors. He couldn't figure that out immediately, but the next day when I was in hostel I was flooded with messages from classmates and Juniors saying "Prof. Navaneethan is looking for you". When I rushed there, he said the problem is fixed now and gave me solution. The best part is he told me that he was working till 2AM the previous night to fix this issue. Where else in the world will we get such a good Prof. who works the whole night to fix a students doubt.
Great Job and Happy Birthday Sir!!
The whole student community needs a Prof like you. Keep Rocking.

Login 2008
The expectations were meet this year again is how I would like to begin. Only four things come to my mind this Login. First time I was standing in my Hod's room for not doing anything wrong. Just a friendly talk with sir and few other Alumnus. It was great talking to him and meeting few other faculty, unfortunately Dr. Navaneethan sir had his classes so was not able to spend much time with us.
Being the Judge of Software presentation for Login 2008. It was a honor to sit in the first row and judge some really cool algorithmic implementations. Firstly thanks to Senthil for inviting me. Also I was thrilled and privileged to sit along side with Dr. Anitha and my first batch Alumnus. To be frank, I was bit tensed on going there. Since I din do much preparation of solving it. But really an awesome job done by the software presentation team. They had gone in and out of the software that were submitted and provided the judges with a summary of each software. Whats the pros and cons of the implementation, what the algorithmic design used and a rigid set of test cases with their pass/fail status. This made life so much easier for me. CIT and NIT won the first and second place. CIT took it for a good algo and software UI. NIT won for his solid algorithmic design and presentation skills. Others either someone else project or had the worst implementation. Even ended up having a debate with Anitha mamm about an implementation and was even questioned by some juniors of how I found an approach in the algo interesting. :) Signs are good.
There is less space in college to walk even. Every where multi storied class rooms are coming and they are connected by steel structures in air. Even the two-wheeler stand is vanished and a 5 floor building is coming up. Production dept industry is wiped off, some parts of the industry are converted to class rooms. :) No chairs to sit in cafe and have long chats. Had my lemon tea finally after 2 years.
Entertainment, the synonymous thought that strikes when Login is told. Even after sleeping for 1 hour their spirits and energy level was go great. :) Esp the first years and second years were stunning. Ping me back so that I would share the rest of the photos and videos. :)
After so much hesitation decided to bore my juniors with some lecture. Just another routine of what my seniors did to us. (Though it was not boring, I know laks would kick my ass if I said so :) ) We had some questions to answer. Thought Sri was in full flow we had our peanut time slot to talk. :) Altogether it was great fun going to Tech soil again.

Batch Day July 8th
July 8th 2002 was an important day bookmarked in my personal calender, Since it embarked the beginning of a fantastic journey in my life. I really feel it was worth to take the road not taken. I think I had spend this 3rd 8 in my life with a purpose and feel its fulfilled. I think such sweet things have a quick ending, since now I feel how this 6 years passed by, it was too quick. Still remember the day when I waited in front of the principal room (oops for a good reason) for getting officially flagged my journey by giving everyone a chocolate.
So many friends, so many lectures, so many assignments, so many exams, so many lab sessions, so many trips, so many of crushes, so many tea+pakkoda, so many proxies, so many lunch boxes, so many lunch outs, so many teasings and get teased, so many seminar, so many night outs, so many hardship, so many problems with funny solution, so many farewell, so many clicks and so many of everything. I better publish a book on it.
Happy Batchday dear all.
Love,
Vijesh

Nambikai Dhesam - Poetry
Nambikai Dhesam, is a collection of small Tamil poetry authored and compiled by Dr. Arumuganathan. Dr. Arumuganathan is a professor, PSG College of Technology. He is one among the most respected and I'm an adoring fan of his probability, I still remember his class on 'Queuing Models'. He is also famous for his role of Hostel warden. Here is one other endowment from his life, 'A collection of Poetry'.
On a brief note from Damodarakannan, It book seems to reflect small aspects from college life and day to day happening. A very good read for Tamil lovers. The book was released March 25 and you can have a glimpse here.
The dear thing about this book is the money raised by selling the book, will be for a charity. Hats off. You can comment on this post or call (9900185925/Varunkuma

Nostalgic Weekend – PSG Tech DOMCA Alumni meet
December 29th and 30th had been marked as two exciting and important days in many of our calendar. No guess why? Department of Mathematics and Computer Applications (DOMCA) held their Alumni meet. Most of us got the news few months back from our beloved HOD when we went there for Login 2007 as guests. Ticket booking and preparation :-P started for many asap.
A note of thanks, to all faculty members, dear DOMCA juniors who made arrangement for every sec of this meet. Also a special thanks to the senior Alumni’s who filled our stomach with some delicious food.

Oct 6th - Oct 7th
This week has been calm so far! :) I came down to Bangalore with poor health and slowly recovering. Still, I'm not in great spirits to move around, work and be normal. Tiredness shadows me always. Still, collecting my best spirits and getting ready for my Department picnic to Wayanad. I had already been there last year with my college guys (read here). Only one new place I'm going to visit from my last trip. So its not that much fun. Still my Canon is pending so my eyes and fingers don't have much work again in this trip. Will write my travelogue if it was interesting. :P
Will be missing the Alumni meet in Bangalore. (Esp Tekmusic). Even the weekend cricket planned with Juniper Network employees.
Signing of from a sluggish Friday evening! Cheers

Musings
I want to write many thing but where do I start. Ok let me put them in the chronological order!
Date: 25th May 2007
Place: Madiwala
I was to board the bus from Bangalore to Coimbatore. Due to the heavy pour in the evening buses arrived late. Until then it was supposed to be a boring 60 minutes standing there. But then I noted the things around me and entertained myself. First thing I found mobile phone users. For every 10 person standing there 4 of them are talking in their mobiles. Talking with, their loved once, some engineers still helping & directing their colleges to fix bugs, some call their parents and inform their safe arrival to the bus stand and their arrival time to their home town and some even call random friends and have a talk with them to pass time. Next time try to observe people. :) Its fun.
Date: 28th May 2007
Place: Q-angle, PSG College of Technology
A most memorable day for us! We graduated on this day! We were declared as degree holders and took a pledge. I would never feel like saying our days in Tech soil are over. Its just a change in designation from Student to Alumnus. The Vice Chairman of Cognizant preceded over the function. Photos uploading delayed.
Date:30th May 2007
Place: Microsoft
My feed reader said, Microsoft Surface has been announced. With the usual inquisitiveness I opened a new tab. Once I went to all the presentations and navigated the site, I would say Microsoft Surface has taken users beyond their expectations. Its awesome. Do check out and find more. Yet another fancy stuff from Redmond after Photosynth is this.
Date: 31st May 2007
Place: Bangalore
Yet another designation change! New challenges, new crew!
