First I would like to convey regards to my parents ,lecturers and to my dearest and nearest friends. I got placed at SUBEX after quite a long process of selection .K, let me not bore you by dragging the context.

1st Round was about basic C concepts .It was objective one and 20 Questions were given .No negative marks (so happily you can take the risk of selecting any one of the given options ).

2nd Round was about objective C – 20 questions (20 min )(includes negative marking of .25 ) and for another 15 min was to write a C program (The program which I got was to calculate the number of days given the 2 dates as input in the dd-mm-yyyy format ) .
The objective questions can be found in the net. Some of the useful links that helped me are
PlacementPapers
Geek interview

The next 2 round were technical rounds.
Some of the questions asked were :
1.Write the prototype of Strlen () function and write your own strlength function .
2.What is the difference between the following,
struct test {
int a;
float b;
char c;
};

and
struct test {
char c;
int a;
float b
};

3. Write a function to create memory for a variable using dynamic memory allocation technique but make sure that the return type is void.
(so he expected an abstract function where in you can pass the address of a pointer to a function and in that function you can create the memory . So for the function for which you pass pointer ,the return type is void)

4. What is a void pointer,?

5. Reverse a linked list using a single pointer.

Well that’s it.No more questions.The interview was about 30 min .

The 4th round was also based on technical stuff
The questions asked were

1. What are the difference between LINUX and WINDOWS architecture ( I had written in my Resume that i use both the OS )
Ans: Tell about the thread management, The Security issues, the Storage /Allocation method ,Authorization ,Kernel .
2. What do you know about Agile methods.
3.What Are the different scheduling algorithm in OS
4.What does templates mean in C++? write one example.
5.Tell me about your Project ( I explained him about that)
6.He asked questions based on FILES ,OSTREAM,ISTREAM ,READ and WRITE.
7.Asked me to data bus and memory bus in Computer organisation ( I said ,but I knew it was wrong!!)
8.What do you expect from us. I mean where do you think we will put you ? (huff, atleast one non technical question ..Great ! :) )
9.How do you declare a variable that can hold n-number of rows and columns.
Ans : chat a**;

That’s it.
I passed these two rounds ,so they said to come on next week for HR round,

1st HR round. In this round well it was quite fun .The questions asked were.
1.Assume that one fine day you wake up ,and you see that you are in an island. GIve me 5 options of how you can save yourself from being dead.
2.He gave me a matchstick problem.
By just changing the position of 3 match sticks you should change the direction of fish,
the solution is as follows.
Initial Pic.
Initial PIC
Final Pic Final Pic
3.He gave me this and asked to count the number of triangles,
Triangle
4.He asked to explain the project that I have done in the way explained to a farmer. (Did u Line follower Robot)
The rest were just about my family background, why subex ? tell me about yourself, and stuff like that, quite Informal .

The final HR was actually a VP round, where in Vice president of HR (Technical ) will interview us.
I was really tensed about this round as I have heard that lof of people get eliminated in this round. :(
The questions asked for me in this round were :
1.Tell me something about yourself.
2.What do you expect from us?
3.What is merge sort ,write the program .what is the time complexity and space complexity of merge sort ?
4.What do you know about Software Engineering ?
That’s it.. only 2 technical questions.. :) .
Then some informal talk..of 20 min.

Finally after a week i got the result and I was surprised to see that 3 people from our college were selected and I was one among them.. :)

One thing I would like to say is that , “Please be what you are,Do not pretend to be someone else for the sake of pleasing others. “, and “Answer with full confidence and with a small smile in your face ” . You do this ,I bet the day will be yours.

With Regards

Hello friends, Here is a sequence of steps where in you can auto reboot the Modem UT300R2U.
This is helpful for the BSNL users who have Night UNLIMITED download option from 2 am to 8 am .[:)]
I assume that you guys are using utorrent tool for downloading.

ok, let us get into the task .
Step 1: Go to the C drive and create a folder by name say …tc10 [:)]. { Easy right }. .!!
Step 2 : Inside this folder create a new notepad.
sterp 3 : just type the following command in this notepad.
cd c:\tst10
tst10.exe /r:script.txt

Step 4 :Save it and give the rename as Restart.bat
{.bat is very important.. Its actually a batch file that u r creating. !! }
Step 5: Once done with the above task. now download all the following stuff and put it on the folder tc10 , that u have created. I guess its quite easy job. [:)].
A telnet software .TELNET
A text file that has a script.! Script
A Shutdown software SHUTDOWN
Ah.. I guess 3/4th of the job is done..Now its just scheduling .. that is.. Go to Start-> Accessories -> System tools->Task scheduler..
Now just add the task as follows.
2 :10 AM : add restart.exe
2 :12 AM :add utorrent
7 :55 AM :add restart1.exe (ITS same as restart .exe just two different names,as same name is not accepted twice.)[ :) ]
8 :AM :add shutdown.exe

That’s it .
Keep the computer on standBy .and sleep happily,without any tension.[:)]. {please create an adminstrative account and is required to run scheduling task.} .
I hope the Blog was useful. Any comments accepted! .

Any suggestions appreciated!!

A salute to the Heros!

ಇಂದಿಗೆ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ 10 ವರುಷಗಳು ಕಳೆದವು ಕಾರ್ಗಿಲ್ ಯುದ್ದ ನಡೆದು :( . ಸುಮಾರು 600 ಯೋಧರು ತಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರಾಣವನ್ನು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡರು. ಅವರ ಈ ಬಲಿದಾನದಿಂದ ಇಂದು ನಾವೆಲ್ಲರು ನೆಮ್ಮದಿಇಂದ ಬದುಕುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇವೆ. :)

ಆದರೇ ಇಂದಿನ ಯುವಕರಿಗೆ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರಗೀತೆ ಹಾಡಲು ಬರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಇದು ನಾನು ಕಂಡಿರುವ ಘೋರ ಸತ್ಯ.
ನನ್ನ ಕೆಲವು ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರಿಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ದೇಶ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಅಮೇರಿಕಾಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ, ಲೈಫ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಸೆಟ್ಲ್ ಆಗ್ಬೇಕು ಅಂತ ಆಸೆ. ಆದ್ರೆ ದೇಶ ಸೇವೆ ಮಾಡಿ ಬನ್ನಿ ,ಅಂತ ಕರಿದ್ರೆ ಒಂದು ಮೈಲಿ ದೂರ ಓಡಿಹೋಗುತ್ತಾರೆ.

ಕಾರಣ ದುಡ್ಡು ದುಡ್ಡು ದುಡ್ಡು. ಈ ವ್ಯಾಮೋಹ ಯಾವಾಗ ಕಮ್ಮಿ ಅಗುತ್ತೋ ಆ ಭಗವಂತನೇ ಬಲ್ಲ..!!!

PORT FORWORDING .

Friends here is the step by step procedure for port forwarding the BSNL modem UT300R2U.

Please follow the steps in sequence so that you would not mess up at the end. [:)]
Step 1: First assign a static IP adress in the network connection ,
That is go to start -> Control Panes -> Network and Internet connection ->Internet Connections
->Local Area Connection ->Right click (properties ) ->TCP /Ip -> properties ->
Assign the following details .

IP address :192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask :255.255.255.0
Default gateway :192.168.1.1

Preferrend DNS server : 208.67.222.222
Alternate DNS server : 208.67.220.220

click Ok and exit

Step 2: Go to start- >Control Panes -> Security center -> Windows Firewall ->Exceptions ->
In this you get an option of add port
Click on that
and Enter
Name : utorrent (any name)
Port :6881
Type :TCP

again click on add port
and enter
Name : utorrent (any name)
Port :6881
Type :UDP

click ok
and exit

step 3: Now go to IE or Mozilla ..And in the url type 192.168.1.1

step 4: go to Advanced setup ->Security -> IP filtering ->Incoming ->
there click add
and then type
Filter name :utorrent
Protocol :TCP/UDP
source address:192.168.1.2
Mask :255.255.255.0
source port :6881
Save it

Step 5:
Nat ->DMZ host ->at the DMZ host IP address
enter 192.168.1.2
click save .
Exit

That’s it

The port 6881 is now forwarded and can now listen all the incoming signals.
Go to utorrent -> settings -> Conection ->
In thsis change Port used for incoming to 6881.
click apply .

Restart the computer and your port will be forwarded .
Thus you can get maximum download speed .

ANy suggestion is appreciated .

Wonder-la Trip.. :)

Date.. 12-07-09 ..Time 7 30 pm. ..A call comes from my friend Bhanu.. ” Maga.. Naale guarantee thane…..? “…No response from my side… Again.. “Maga helo.. ? … Hello… U there… ?.. Lo Bhatta… Helapppa… “,…ah.. Ya man..I am here..Where else should i be…. k .Fine maga..Will try my level best to convince my Dad…Thus said..I kept the phone..
Time 8 00 pm.. No power at home ..Thanks to Yeddi(CM) … So that I could be away from my Dads implacable sight ..

Its much more easier to convince Hitler but not my Dad.. God, If I ask something ,in response he is going to ask several questions for that something what i ask.. :( … As if an Army officer is striking his gun against the terrorist….He keeps on asking questions… I guess it goes to an infinite loop if given to a computer..

Ok here the drama begins.. :) ..
Time 8 30 pm. Had dinner together.. Then I started pattering myself.. Suddenly with an Vociferous voice he asked..Cant u eat silently.. How much do u speak..Look in my olden days….I was like…… Ah.. Here starts the boring history.. .Blah.. Blah.. Blah..I hate telling or listening those craps.. .. Finally..i finished my dinner.. And started thinking what should i tell to convince him..?Man, believe me,I have never thought or for that matter worried so much even for my semester exams.. :) ….
Finally at 9 pm , I said “Dad I am going to Wonder-la tomorrow.. and all of my friends are coming with me ..(Its an another issue that we were only 8. Not 80 ..which is our class strength )…At the same time…. Power came there was bright light all over the hall … He saw my face from his Big spectacles .. .. As if a policeman sees a thief… And for my goodness ..He calmly said. .K carry on.. !!!!!!.huff.. one of the toughest job i could ever do was so smoothly carried on.. Great Bhatta.. I bowed to myself. :) ..Hey ,just a minute..What about the money.. 500 bucks.. Is isn’t a small amount to me.. Hmm…k ,I thought , It would be better if I could ask him tomorrow morning..
I texted all my friends that I am ready for the trip..and there were so happy ,i mean,.. At that moment even if the semester results were out.. I guess no one would have been bothered.

Date. 13-07-09. Time 5 am . Woke up early and did Sandhyavandana. Had a hot coffee and waited for the opportunity to talk to Dad.. Regarding the money,for the trip.
At 6 30 am ,Dad was busy with his scanning of news paper,and I went to his room.. It was like entering a Bus, without a ticket. k ,Here it goes.. “Dad I need some money for wonder-la .Pls can you give me..He said.. all right.. Get my wallet . I took his wallet and gave it to him.. I was staring at his wallet as he took 500Rs note .. I was like.. Hurray.. 500 Rs i more than enough ..And was dancing at the place where i stood.. But my excitement was in vain in another 1 min.. Because. .He took that 500 Rs.. Kept aside .and gave me 50 Rs. Damn..50 Rs..Just 50 Rs.. Ayyo.. I dont know what Paapa I have done.. :( :.. It cost more than 50Rs even to travel Wonder-la and come back Home.He gave that 50Rs note and started reading the crime section.. started reading aloud.. “Tande inda Magana kole.. ” Oops.. next.. “Bengalorinalli 3 kade .. Darode.. “….I started thinking…. Yes these poor guys.. start crimes because they might feel shortage of money like me and unable to go to wonderla. .:(. Poor guys.. Yeah ..including me.. I again interrupted him and said..Dad pls give atleast 300 Rs.. He looked at me.. And started his old AIR Radio .speech. .Look When i was like you.. .Oh no.. Not again.. I came to my room..And was about to sob.. When suddenly mom entered the room and gave 350 Rs .to me.. Huff.. Long live mom..I prayed to god.. Yes,I remember a saying that .. “Since ,god cannot be everywhere he created Mother” ..How true it is.. :) I love you Mom. .K So there was 350 + 50 +150 (My savings.. ) all together 550. Hurray.>Time to go.. Packed my stuff.. And went to Mysore road Satellite bus stand…Where we all planned to meet at sharp 9 am.

Time 8 40 am .well ,Its always me to be the first one and waiting for all…. huff.. I messaged Bhanu(KENCHA)..and said “Maga , I am near BMTC bus stand..come fast. its boring here. ” He replied.. that he would be in 5 min. But you know SIT right.. ?..5 min equals 30min.
Yeah..He along with my friends,Karthik J (JK), Avinash (NASA) arrived. I was really busted as the time was 9 20 am.. K, well where are others fellows , man I asked Kencha.. He called them and said.. “guys, It takes another half an hour for them to come.. Let us sit on this bench.” I said.. “Oh.. What’s wrong with them man,,I mean, You said that its sharp 9 am right? ,then why do they take such a long time”..hmm.. , there was no response from anyone as they did not want to take any risk.
At 10 All of them G3, Kru, Shwe,and Arp.. (we call them by these names).Came and yes they apologized to us for coming..late. At 10 :10 we took a bus,that directly went to Wonder-la, And we stood right front of the main entrance at 11 am . Wow.. What a place.. Really..I was like, Am i dreaming or is it true that I am here.. ? ah.. confused.. :) .As we had our college IDs we got an off of 25% ,thus we paid 355Rs for each ticket.

First time I have ever been to such a trip ,that to with girls.. Sounds Amazing right.. ?Yes,Four boys ,four girls and all being best friends, Started looking at one another as from where to start.. ?Yes..our kencha was so excited that he was not even patient to keep his luggage in the locker room .Oh my god.. There were around 19 dry games, 13 water games. and around 10 games for kids.. We were like.. Hey ,where to start and where to end.. Shwe was our guide.. As this was her second visit..For me ,It was like dream come true.. Kencha,JK,NASA,G3,kru,… Everyone.. Started exploring the dry rides one by one.. And at 2 I guess ,We finished playing almost all the games.
It was amazing that I was not scared.Well , I am not boasting myself.. But compared to my pals,, I guess I have a little more courage.. K , Lets stop the dry rides. Coming to the water rides, Here is where I felt a sort of dizziness ,and a sort of shivering which I really did not expected after i stepped into water.I was like,,Something is wrong with me,or something is going bad.. I played in Water Pendulum with JK ,went to Lazy river,Banded Kratts.That’s it. I was unable to bear the pain which occurred in my joints, back and knees.. Oh ,this is killing me,But i remained silent coz..I did not want to spoil the happiness that my friends were enjoying.

So, went to dressing room ,changed my dress and came back to see them .G3 accompanied me ,and we saw our fellow mates playing in the wave pool. My condition was getting worse and worse.At around 5 30 ,all the water games were closed ,and my friends went to the dressing room, changed their dress and came.JK and Kencha took m to the first aid clinic where the Doctor gave me a paracetamol tablet,which did work to some extent. Then at 5 50 there was a laser show ,which was really the best one that I have ever seen in my life.Awesome one .

Then ,Later at 6 30 i guess we left Wonder-la ,hopped on a bus to Satellite bus stand,n then I got down at Nayandana halli ,which is near to the place where I live.I waved goodbye to my friends and reached home at 8 .It was then that i checked my body temperature ,where i found that it was 100 degree Fahrenheit..
Shivering with fever ,mom gave some home medicine ..But it was in vain.Went to hospital and got the treatment. Now , I am as good as I will ever be.. started to listen to my Dads old AIR radio.. (i.e.. When i was like you…. Blah.. Blah.. ) and stuff like that.. But I also remember that this is the last year of my Engineering life and i was always planning to go to some trip with our classmates ,which might be a day dream once you enter the real tough life.

Yours,
Karthik L

ಈ ಘಟನೆ ನಡೆದಿದ್ದು  ಸುಮಾರು 4 ತಿಂಗಳು ಹಿಂದೆ. ಆಗ ನನಗೆ ಕಾಲೇಜ್ಗೆ ರಜಾ ಇತ್ತು .ಸರಿ, ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದಾ  ಚಾನ್ಸ್ ಅಂತ ಸೀದಾ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನಿಂದ ,ನನ್ನ  ಅಮ್ಮನ ಉರಾದ ಪಡುಬಿಡ್ರಿಗೆ (ಉಡುಪಿ ತಾಲೂಕು) ಹೋದೆ . ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಆಗ ಡೆಕ್ಕದಬಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆಯುವ ಸಮಯ.  ಅದು ನಡೆಯುವುದು ಎರಡು ವರುಷಕ್ಕೆ ಒಂದು ಸಲ ಮಾತ್ರ. ಒಂದು ವರುಷ ಉಡುಪಿಯ ಪರ್ಯಾಯ ಮಹೋತ್ಸವ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ವರುಷ   ಈ ಡೆಕ್ಕದಬಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆಯುತೆ.

ಡೆಕ್ಕದಬಲ್ಲಿ ಶುರು ಆಗುವುದು ರಾತ್ರಿ 11ರ ನಂತರವೇ . 11 ರಿಂದ ಮುಗಿಯುವುದು ಬೆಳಗಿನ ಜಾವಾ
3 30ಗೆ.
ಇದರ ಮಜ  ಬಲ್ಲವನಿಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತು. ಆಹಾ ಎನ್ ಅದ್ಭುತ ಅಂತೀರೀ..ಸೂಪರ್ ಆಗಿರುತ್ತೆ. ಈ ಪೂಜಾವಿಧಿಗಳು ನಡೆಯುವುದು ಪಡುಬಿಡ್ರಿಯ ಭ್ರಮಸ್ತಾನದಲ್ಲಿ . ಈ ಸ್ಥಳವು ಪೂರ್ತಿ ಮರಳು ತುಂಬಿದ ಪ್ರದೇಶ..ಒಂದು ಸಲ ಯಾವುದೇ ವಸ್ತು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕೈಜಾರಿ ಕೆಳಗೆ ಬಿದ್ದರೆ ಮುಗೀತು,ಮತ್ತೆ  ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಸಿಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ, ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಅಷ್ಟು ಮರಳು ಆ ಪ್ರದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿದೆ.

ಅಂದು ರಾತ್ರಿ ಎಂದಿನಂತೆ ನನ್ನ ಖಾಸ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಭ್ರಮಸ್ತಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋದೆ. ಸಮಯ 11 15 ಆಗಿರಬಹುದು. ಪೂಜಾವಿಧಿಗಳು ಶುರುವದವು. ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡುತಿರಬೇಕಾದರೆ,ನನ್ನ ಕೈ ಬೆರಳಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದ ಉಂಗುರಾ ಕಾಣದಾಯಿತು.

ಅದು ಅಮ್ಮ ಕೊಟ್ಟ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ  ಉಂಗುರಾದಾಗಿತ್ತು. ನನಗೋ ದಿಗಿಲು ಶುರುವಾಯಿತು.
ಅಯ್ಯೋ ದೇವೇರೆ ,ಏನಪ್ಪಾ ಮಾಡಲಿ ,ಎಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂತ ಹುಡುಕಲಿ? ಅದು ಈ ರಾಶಿ ಮರಳಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಡುಕೋದು ಸಾಧ್ಯವೇ ಇಲ್ಲ,ಛೇ ಎಂಥ ಕೆಲಸ ಆಗೊಯ್ತು. ಈಗ ಅಮ್ಮನಿಗೆ ನಾನು ಏನಂತ ಹೇಳಲಿ? ,
…..
ಆಗ ನಾನು ಮೊದಲ ಸಲ ಭಕ್ತಿ ಇಂದ ,ಮನಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ  ಬೇಡಿಕೊಂಡೆ ,ಆ ಕಾಣದ ದೇವರಿಗೆ ಕೈ ಮುಗಿದು,
“ದೇವೇರೆ ನೀನು ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ಇರುವೆಯೆಂದಾದರೆ,ನನ್ನ ಭಕ್ತಿ ನಿಜ ಎಂದಾದರೆ, ಖಂಡಿತಾ ನನಗೆ ಬೆಳುಕು ಬರೋ ಹೊತ್ತಿಗ್ಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಉಂಗುರ ಸಿಗಬೆಕು. ಇಲ್ಲ ಅಂದರೆ ದೇವರು ಅನ್ನೋದು ಬರಿ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮೆಅಂತ ಅಂದೊಕೋಳ್ತೀನಿ.”  …

ಸರಿ, 4 ಘಂಟೆ ಗೆ ಪೂಜ ಮುಗಿದು, ಪ್ರಸಾದ ವಿತರಣೆ ನದಿಯುತಿತ್ಥು. ನಾನು ಯಾರಿಗೂ ನನ್ನ ಅವಸ್ತೆ ಹೇಳಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗಿಲ್ಲ.
ಸುಮಾರು 5 30ಕ್ಕೆ ದೇವಸ್ತಾನದ officeನಿಂದ ಮ್ಯಾನೇಜರ್ ಒಡಿಬಂದು ಊರ ಮುಕ್ಯಸ್ಥರಿಗೆ ಏನೋ ಬಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರು. ಅವರು ನಂತರ ಸೀದಾ officeಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಮರಳಿ ಬಂದರು.
ಅಷ್ಟರಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಷಯ ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ತಿಳಿಯಿತು.
ಅದೇನೆಂದರೆ, ಯಾರೋ ಒಂದು ಹೆಂಗಸು ಒಂದು ಬಂಗಾರದ ಉಂಗುರ ಅನ್ನು office table ಮೇಲೆ ಇಟ್ಟು ಹೋದಳಂತೆ . ಮ್ಯಾನೇಜರ್ ಯಾರದೂ ಆ ಉಂಗುರಾ? ಅಂತ ಕೇಳಿದಕ್ಕೆ ,ಆ ಹೆಂಗಸು “ಅದು ನಿಮಗೆ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಹೊತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲೇ ಗೋತಾಗುತ್ತೆ” ಅಂತ ಹೇಳಿ ಹೋಗೆ ಬಿಟ್ಟಲಂತೆ…
ನನಗೋ ಸಂತೋಷಕ್ಕೆ ಪಾರವೇ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಸೀದಾ ದೇವರಿಗೆ ಅಡ್ಡ ಬಿದ್ದು ನಮಸ್ಕರಿಸಿದೆ..ಯಾವ ಜನುಮಾದ ಪುಣ್ಯವೋ ಎಂದು ಅಂದುಕೊಂಡು ,ಊರ ಮುಕ್ಯಾಸ್ಥರೊಂದೆಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡಿ ನನ್ನ ಉಂಗುರ ಪಡೆದು ,ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ವಾಪಸು ಬಂದೆ.

ನಿಜವಾಗಲೂ , ಆ ದೇವರು ದೊಡ್ಡವನು. ಇಂದಿಗೂ ನಾನು ಆ ಹೆಂಗಸು ದುರ್ಗದೇವಿ ಆಗಿರಬಹುದೇ.. ಎಂದೆ ಯೋಚಿಸುತಿರುವೆನು..?.ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ನಾನು ದಿನ ಪೂಜೆ ಮಾಡುವುದೇ ಆ ದುರ್ಗ ತಾಯಿಯನ್ನು.

ಇಂತಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ,
ಕಾರ್ತಿಕ್ ಎಲ್
