EIIT Lab

hai hai

I am now in the Electronics Instruments and Instrumentation Technology (EIIT) Lab . I found this comp which was offered for interfacing the microprocessor to the measuring instruments with a LAN connection . Unfortunately the LAN was disconnected . With a good deal of toiling , i sumhw managed to get a patch chord and got myself connected . yoyoyo!!!! i m browsing the net now . Since blogspot was blocked in the hostel , my joy knew no bounds when blogspot worked in the LAB . The lab is deserted with no faculties inside and a lonely "smart" lab assistant who is just a couple of years ( i doubt that ) elder than me desperately watching us browsing . Some of the dejected boys who didnt get the output were busy browsing orkut while a couple of my frds visited the Insti Cafe ( IC ) to break the morning fast . Today we are supposed to learn the role of microprocessor (VIK 8080) in the control of measuring devices ( ADC , LVDT and steppermotor ) .The concept was quite interesting - you control the working( reduce or increase speed , switch ON and OFF ) of various intruments using your keyboard . The last experiment was something similar to the current one but we hard a very hard time comprehending the current expt . Even Dr.D.B .S was not present in the lab for our rescue . We watched in despair Dr.Singh enjoying his usual viva-screwing , browsed through the page long program code again and again and ended up writing the "so called " report of the expt which we never did . Its high time the System of Education changed . The authorities should try to make the lab sessions "learning oriented " rather than being a machinelike execution of comands /instructions given in the manual .

Mathematical Jugglery

2:55pm

There was a loud bang on my door. Breaking away my beloved afternoon nap , i realised it was time for OPRE lecture . Within minutes , i got refreshed and started running towards the lecture theatre (LT) along with Srihari . The instructor of the course was a man of sincerity and hardwork, Dr.P.M.P. Moopanar (hereafter will be known as Dr.P.M ).When we reached the LT , Dr. P.M was already on the dias ,adjusting the overhead projector which will be engaging us for the next 45 minutes . We sat in the third to front row ( the second and first being empty ) , to avoid special attention from Dr.P.M,whose usual targets are back bench boys . Well not precisely back bench guys but he selects his victims randomly . Two things qualifies a person to become his victim , one being staring at his face and the other being staring at the screen for long time pretending to think on some mathematical concept deeply . The immediate response will be " Yes ***** , can u explain this concept .....tell me what do i mean by random variable ". Varied victims have their own varied answers . Once he gets convinced by your answer , he will move on to the next concept . Queuing theory was the topic of the day . I was just blinking over all the alphabets ( which in Dr. P.M terms are parameters of queuing system ) displayed on the screen . He started off with the assumption of three axioms , slowed moved over to calculation of some probabilty , then proved some resuts, which he calls " elementary " . First we were asked to" assume " certain things , then calculate some crapy probability using "predefined" formulae and finally what we "prove "are corallaries with the help of our assumptions . His face was shinning like a bright star with pride as he proved the corallary using his assumptions and calculations . The unfortunate thing was no one in the LT was able to understand what happened and why it happened . Everyone was busy filling up their notes with what they gazed at in the projector screen . " MATHS " has always been an enigma to me . I never understand what i do and why i do but still i continue doing my assumptions , calculations and proofs. Something struck me suddenly when i was giving this thought ,"MATHEMATICAL JUGGLERY ", the words of Dr. V.K.D. Well Dr.V.K.D is one another interesting personality on whom i shall speak later .

Long Live the "MATHAMATECIANS " !!!

First Blog

First part of every work should have a dedication the "To my beloved.... and For my deceased.... " kinda stuff .Well i would like to dedicate this blog to "Dhuja", the one whom i admire most (Pray this blog comes out decently )

Hi ppl

This is raghu, doing my third year of "so called " engineering in BITS goa campus . I am really late for blogging . Thought could try my hand in blogging after reading so many of my friend's blogs . Well i look really nasty when i am asked to tell about myself .Hope you will get to know me through my blogs. i guess thats decent enough for the first blog .
cheers
