			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So we have our FT test tomorrow and we are studying&#8230;..<br />
Just got bored with all the stuff, so I thought y not put a little<br />
effort in here also.</p>
<p>SO we missed our movies ,this weekend in the Infosys Multiplex, for the test.<br />
The test will be from topics like Databases, Programming Fundamentals, Operating Systems<br />
, Algorithms etc. and they have given us study material for the same.</p>
<p>And also we are finished with our induction classes&#8230;.<br />
Infosys now has started ILI ( i.e. the Infosys Leadership Institute )<br />
program that they have, to develop soft skills. There we had the English edge<br />
and other soft skills programs.<br />
So hopefully by wednesday we will be done with all the initial stuff and<br />
our technical training will start. The result will be out hopefully by tuesday.</p>
<p>Chalo, wish me all da luck. Let&#8221;&#8217;&#8217;s see whether sacrificing<br />
the movie, for the test, really pays off :).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well they say there&#8217;&#8217;s no use writing and keeping a blog if you aren&#8221;t regular&#8230;<br />
So I asked myself today what I could do to keep it going!!<br />
and I found the best solution I could&#8230;..</p>
<p>I will write an entry here every week.. because that would be a generous time gap in this busy schedule that I have.<br />
Ofcourse now that is only an upper bound value. I will try to gather info from any source I can trace and I feel that is worth including in posts.</p>
<p>But let me confess guys&#8230;&#8230;blogging is an easy way of expressing yourself, and life ain&#8221;t that simple.<br />
It only takes 1 misunderstanding to break realtions that you were cherishing the most.</p>
<p>oho where am I going.. I sometimes have so much to speak then suddenly I realize this world ain&#8221;t a place to speak out blindly&#8230;..<br />
coz some people are always on lookout of searching you inside-out and then find anything that could go against you.<br />
People if you really can&#8221;t help others in something at least have mercy enough not to destruct their life&#8230;..</p>
<p>Atleast that way you are at peace with God.</p>
<p>Help yourself become a better person.<br />
Prashant Bhargava</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well the orkut fever had started to grow big on this world. The social networking sites had grown so much out of proportions&#8230;.. there was Hi5 (where I first registered) offering full customization of the content you can add..i.e. videos, sparkles, custom html tags&#8230; well all that just started to ruin the interfae they had and I no longer like this site. Myspace which has its domination since long long years I don&#8217;t even remember.. Myspace has also been a platform for the local artists to grow, xzibit their creations, songs, documentaries etc&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>Then the Orkut&#8230;&#8230;. Orkut have this scrap feature I really like. Get in touch and talk to other people&#8230;just leave a scrap and they will reply you. Prettty much like the voicemail on Telephone I&#8217;d say..but isn&#8217;t that what already existed on various IMs&#8230;.but that&#8217;s the beauty of social networking sites.<br />
You can not only talk, but search through the users that are present&#8230; search the content in their profiles and check whether they really are your old lost friends. and oops even if they aren&#8217;t the ones &#8230;.. make new ones in the processs..</p>
<p>So this was what I took up&#8230;.. create our own social networking website&#8212;- ROOBAROO &#8212;- with not some dynamic out of world features.. but just test our capabilities if we could actually create one!!</p>
<p>So it was decided, we were making a  social networking website as our ___Minor Project___ for college. Me and my team partners Rahul and Anupam started off with some designs on how the site must look in the first case&#8230;. Then we added the sections that I would say as features&#8230; The Create your Profile, Edit it, Scrap feature, Testimonials, Recieve/Send Frnd Rqsts&#8230; well that pretty much sums up the functionality that we were looking for.</p>
<p>After this started the process which many find very boring (fingers crossed) programming (fingers crossed).. Hey but not us!! (After all we would have lost marks had we done so :)&#8230; So the databases, the HTML markup, the CSS&#8230; yep we were learning all of these for one single project. So by the time our application had started taking shape &#8220;the SQLCommand.ExecuteReader was all over us&#8221;.</p>
<p>So after around a period of 2-3 months which included our 9-5 classes at college + some desi masti which we did&#8230; our project had finally taken shape and was working perfectly after all the bugs had been removed, constraints added, cross browser testing done and visually attractive and easy layout made.</p>
<p>Now it was time for making it online&#8230;Our team guide had repeatedly asked us to this and this was really a great idea from him. So since as usual we were low on money we searched for some free website that could provide us some temporary .Net server to make our website online&#8230; and thanks to &#8212;vwdhosting.net&#8212; we were able to publish the website well in time before our final presentation of the Project was held.</p>
<p>ahhhhh A  &#8212;&#8211;they lived happily ever after&#8212;- end to the story!!</p>
<p>Keep Trying,<br />
Prashant!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hmmm&#8230; well back in 2006. Our second annual college fest. It had been just 3 years since our college had started and we were preparing for an extraordinary fest with some extravagant events. Being an engineering institute, the aim was to design unique mix of cultural and academic events that could serve maximum number of participations.</p>
<p>The fest was to be held in Feb. 06 and the preps had already begun since December. (Ooooo the chilly winters that are here in north of India.) Mind it, the whole colllege was gearing up for the fest. With great efforts from teachers and students, we did make the whole event a grand success. There were participations from various colleges across the country. </p>
<p>So my job was to design promotional stuff for the fest. And that included posters, flyers, banners etc&#8230;<br />
There were many categories.. Main Poster for the fest, the cultural committee, the technical events + the one for the event &#8220;Rendezvous&#8221; where we had invited eminent speakers from companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Aditya Birla and more.</p>
<p>Click on the image above to have a look&#8230;&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here I display some (to be exact) skills of mine. I dedicate this section of world-wide-web to work that I have done in different areas. Mmmmm well they might not be related to each other much but I will try putting here as much as I can of my work.<br />
I love programming, learning new things, a bit of designing too coz that lets my creativity flow.<br />
I also love admiring nature..Its one thing that has got so much variation but still is evolving!! That is very fascinating.<br />
I have worked in a couple of projects, did some self-learning on various softwares, languages..<br />
Oh Yes,, before I forget&#8230;.for all the first timers (in anything) the best way to learn something is just dig into it and start using it. You will do some really nasty job first but your mistakes are the best teachers. So just use it, play around with it get hold of some ebook(in case you were talking about computers)&#8230;. and then let yor innovation flow.</p>
<p>So lets go offline for now..<br />
Tomorrow I will be uploading my stuff to start my blogging experience too!!</p>
<p>And ooooo yess!! plz do comment on my work&#8230;Any feedback is appreciated.</p>
<p>P.S. I love getting +ve feedbacks..</p>
