Guitar Jinx

I'd to write this post much before, I mean, in September when I actually broke my jinx of not buying a guitar for long. I always had dreamt of playing an instrument right from my childhood days. I can remember, I'd gone so much crazy behind Tuttori (Sorry, I can't remember right now the English translation of it - it's the instrument that Big B had played in the movie Sholay) that I persuaded my mom then to buy that in our trip to local fair. I did try learning to play Tuttori for some time. After few weeks, my Tuttori fell into water and started producing unpleasant tones whenever I played that which was very obvious. Somehow, I lost interest in Tuttori later. During college days, flute seemed to interest me; But, I couldn't go to flute classes either. When I slowly started developing inclination towards Western Music, "Guitar Jinx" started happening.  

Ahaa Moment. Finally, after five years from the origin of "Guitar Jinx", I broke it in this Septmember when I bought my acourstic guitar. Thanks to videos in youtube.com, I've learnt few scales, chords as well! As they say, teaching through a Guru is always the best way to learn things, at least the basics. I think I should join classes, after all, I've a handful of guitar coaching centres in the vicinity of our house. 

What say?

    

                         

MS

I'm not referring to Microsoft Corp. as most would guess what MS refers to etc. It's Master of Science Degree; In particular, my MS Program in Software Systems that I'm pursuing from BITS, Pilani. 

I'd my term exams over the last weekend of September. Destiny had it that I'd to fall sick, soon after my exams, after all it was a strenuous study-schedule that I'd experienced myself over the previous week. That signifies the natural consequences of tight study schedule that "student-professional" relies on; Unlike a full-time student who can sustain low-energy levels both physical and mental post such exams, a student-professional cannot; I was no exception! The last 5 months had had me learn some new things, had my mind progressively employ techniques learnt, use engineering common sense, attain a commendable knowledge on Software Engineering and Management. Having studied courses like Pervasive Coputing, Data Structures & Algorithms has resulted in a higher degree of inclination towards research arena.

To sum it up, I've had terrific learning experience that could potentially add so much to my technical skills and confidence levels when talking about various software engineering topics in general.
