Time Limit Exceeded..

I believe, everyone is familiar with this term, TIME LIMIT EXCEEDED. As soon as this status(You know what I am talking about) appears in front of me, I find myself in the middle of nowhere. Completely baffled, I have no idea as to what is to be done next. All the knowledge starts appearing meagre and insufficient in front of a problem that I considered very insignificant. Time just slips away and I can't think of nothing.

But this is not the case only with me, as I felt it during Effy'MM9-Limite de Plazo. It was just another online coding contest, I being the organizer. The time limit was very stringent this time and many intellectual minds found themselves ill at ease, scuffling with the problems.

Till here, it was just a consolation for all the guys who love programming.

Lets keep programming aside now. In the real world also, I am experiencing a same kind of problem. And I think everyone of us is in a similar situation right now. There is so much to do and time appears to be so less. I just can't decide as to which path to follow and where to concentrate more. Even though the credit hours in our curriculum have decreased but this doesn't bring any relief.Semester projects, Labs Assignments, Electives and daily lectures are too much to be handled by a single soul. I must say, I've never had a more hectic schedule than this.

Moreover, there is a lot of confusion about the future options. Research, Management and Experience(Job) are a few that I know of. I am sure, many of us would be finding it difficult to decide from among the many options that we have.

Actually,
3Idiots,the movie did encourage many and left the others confused.

In the end, I would just like to inform you to get geared up and be prepared because the worst is yet to come and the time limit is indeed exceeded.

Perfection..!!

Perfection.....a word, I think most of us would find very appealing. In today's world it's the one thing, anyone would die for. A guy would put in his heart and soul just in order to gain perfection.
But what actually is perfection?? According to the english dictionary, perfection or paragon means
the state of being without a flaw or defect.

Since I am an engineering student, one good thing I learnt is about Expert Systems. Much efforts were made to construct a general purpose problem solver, but nothing could be done. The solution was an expert system: A system which could act as an expert in a restricted and fixed domain.

What I feel is, that is the way how one could gain perfection. It's very disheartening but the fact is, today a guy don't give much attention to his interests just so because of the competitive world.
There is no such thing known as hobbies left today. Everyone wants to follow the herd. There are very few examples of people in this world, who did what they wanted to. But they are the one who became successful. There are a hell lot of people who love to criticize others. But this should not bother you. Look, this is the thing that I like about Aamir Khan's movies. Apart from being very entertaining, they are very inspiring too. Take for example: Taare Zameen Par and 3Idiots. These movies tried to tell us one thing and that is 'Interests leads to Success'. No wonder Aamir Khan is known as a perfectionist today.

This is the best part: I think that If you want to be a perfectionist, be selfless first. I don't care what others feel. According to me, a guy who comes first in the class is not a perfectionist. For me, a guy who helps others in studies or in any other way is a paragon. There are a few people whom I really admire for this. :)

Blogging...!!

Blogging….sounds kinda interesting. What does a blogger do? First and foremost, he keeps his eyes and ears open all the time and try to publish any meagre information with a lot of hype and exaggeration. Most of the time, he talks to himself coz he has no one else to talk to. And if he comes up with something interesting from his talks, he would like to share it with others. Like one of my friend says, it’s a way to express yourself and that too to a larger group of people. Obviously you don’t talk to such a large group everyday unless you are a professor or you don’t have anything else to do.

But still, I find this sharing of feelings much better than the deliverance of lectures by a professor, coz it’s just a one confused soul trying to miguide other wandering souls :) .
I follow many blogs, thinking I might find something useful, humorous or rather something intellectual. Most of the time it’s the author lost in his own world. I know there’s a writer hidden in everyone.
Finally, I reach to a conclusion that a good blogger is one, who not only is a good writer, but also a guy who loves to type. :)
