Thoughts that come to me about St. Joseph college

As soon as I hear the name St. Joseph College very first this that strike me are few past wired thoughts. In the beginning when I was told that my admission would be in St.Joseph I was not much exited this was because same set of people suggested me my previous PU college were my two years was wired. So I didn't get excited when they told me this. Later when I joined this college slowly my mindset changed about this college. One unexpected thing in this college for me was this credit system and rules and regulations maintained to gain it.

To talk about the image that strike my mind as soon as I hear our college name is "quadrangle "with this huge banyan tree. This is one of the favourite spot in our college. this is the place where students exhibit there talents.

I was given a task of finding some interesting print ads. This print ads made me laugh for few sec so I thought of posting this ad and talk about it. In the beginning only the direction of ants were confusing later when I zoomed the image the words written was the reason for ants to move.Chocolates are always meant to be sweet but the term sugar free made the ants to move away from it. That the reason why I choose to do this ad

Graphic novel- Pride of baghdad

Pride of baghdad

Reading graphic novels was a challenging task in the beginning, this is because you should have a keen focus on what your reading and always a second reading is required. While reading a graphic novel though we are interested in doing it we will come across a impatience in completing the book as soon as possible. This was the major problem which I came through while reading the book.

We was given about four sets of graphic novel. In the beginning I went through all the introduction or preface of every novel slowly. I’m a person who is interested on animation kind of things and always select books based on it or any true life incident for that matter. From all the above given novels “Pride of Baghdad” was the one which suits my genre. I liked the way the characters was portrait and different names given to each animal in the comic/novel.

In the beginning of the novel i came across a plan by Noor to escape from the zoo. All the animals have the same feeling to set themselves free from zoo and leave a happy life in the forest. But the curx is when the ready to escape from the zoo the hunters them self started killing them using animal meat. Somehow Zill,Noor,Sofa and others manage to escape and direct themselves to forest. On the way they come to know about the bomb blast taking place in the entire city… their fight to survival continues even after coming out of Zoo. The story ends with a pathos. Though it seems to be like a fight for crown and pride, I felt it’s a fight for their existence and emotions. Every character had love to one other which can be seen while “saving Ali “ from monkey trop. This novel was a mixture of emotions, sense of independence and heroism. That’s the reason why I liked “Pride of Lions” I mean Pride of Baghdad.

selfie......

Selfie……

I would like to call the present era as mobile era. The reason behind this is you cannot find a single person without android mobile or any mobile for that matter. Once mobile started coming with camera inbuilt photo caption became easy and as well as trend in each occasion and outing. Starting from taking a picture in camera, giving it in shops to get ready with print., changed to capture a picture check for clarity and delete it on spot. Similarly the option of front camera has bought a drastic change on our view of looking at photographs.

Self images of a person usual defines his nature is my view on this aspect. Selfi has become so common that as soon as a person gets ready to office, collage or any other place first work before he/she steps out of his/her home would take a selfie to check whether they are presentable and approachable to others. Few common reason for selfi are to check for one’s makeup, hair setting after a long travel, and a matter of joy and entertainment and more often as D.P. for whatsapp, Facebook and other social app. Selfi with friends are also a common on nowadays. Selfi is commonly termed as a girlish thing taken by many girls usually when compared to boys which I don’t totally agree with. According to me selfi is one way of entertaining one selfi without hurting others and also the guts to mock at one self during leisure time.

I would like to conclude saying that we are not far away from celebrating selfi day something similar to sports day and cultural day which we are celebrating now.

Inspiring picture..

Inspiring picture from my mobile

To tell about inspiring picture from my gallery is really an impossible task. I don’t have any images as inspiring but still there are few images which I often see when I feel bored and jobless. Few images remind my home town which I miss every moment when I'm in Bengaluru.

The above image was taken at Pondicherry beach. Though this place was nearly 99% ruined by Tsunami and Thane cyclone the remaining building, wooden houses for tourist and beach resort are still eye catching even today. Sea shore is one place where I can never take off my eye. The way each time waves hits the rock and move back and also the way sand moves along with sea water into the sea is the best experience and happiest scene that I would like to see throughout my life time. This scene always remind me one basic rule of life that everyone should follow in their life i.e., “never give up in life” .this is the only thought that keeps on going inside my mind. I have also heard from my elders that sea never holds any unwanted things inside it, it will always give it out…. This is another reason why I liked this image and often like seeing it…

Comic Book Reader

Comic book reader is a software which is commonly used to read comic books online and graphic novels. This software was developed and slowly improved it. We are commonly used to read comics in books, I mean hardcopy.

In cbr a hardcopy is first converted to softcopy and this is one of the major work that takes place in the development of a graphics novel. First and foremost is that pictures are converted to digital format. Converting to digital format means the image drawn is scanned .Scanning process is done in the above way i.e., jpeg image is converted to binary or discrete language (or) machine language. This is the form in which machine or computer can understand the data. Once it is converted to discrete format it is again placed in order according to the way it was specified.

For eg: I read a comic book called “Pride of Baghdad” in this book the images are first complied that is converted to machine format and then again into the original image that is in the papers. After that it is arranged in order according to page numbers. Once we are down this the first image we can move to other page by the option that is available. Before we start to read the very first step is to download a comic book and open it using cbr software. Once this is done we are ready to use it. We can also manage two pages in single screen similar to reading a book and flipping its pages. This is done with the help of up and down arrow available in the keyboard.

I would say comic book reader is best way to read comic book or graphic novel because of the image quality and the way it is presented to the user.

Most embarrissing picture

One of my embarrissing picture which I always wanted to abort is my school days picture of having my lunch. This picture was taken when I was in standard 6. That was the worst day which I went throughout the academic year. From morning I was busy with my class then I was told to make arrangement for the last day celebration before the lunch break gets over. So after my classes I was left with 10 minutes to have my lunch. So I started to grab it like “Bheema” in Mahabharat.

I was wearing my school uniform white chudi with hair plated up with white ribbon. Since I was in hurry my hair was totally in air it was like I didn’t comb for two days. Lunch box was in my left hand and spoon in my right hand. The moment I took food in spoon and opened my mouth to grab it with eyes opened one of my friend Arjun took the picture. I never noticed when my friends took snaps of mine. Worst part was whenever I use to argue and fight with my friends I was blackmailed using this picture. Actually this picture proves I was upcoming “Bheema” in my class.

There is one funny video of mine which I would like to share here. This video was taken in my native when I was washing vessels and humming 1980’s tune. My cousine brother recorded it and forwarded to my whole family.

Leisure time of St. Joseph..

This image was taken in your collage quadrangle. this tree proves the strength of josephite in all aspects of culturals and academics..

One proof for my sentence is you can see students studying under this banyan tree

FOURTH ESTATE PART -6

Fourth estate part-6 (PRAJA VANI)

This week our assignment was based on regional newspaper. I thought of starting with well know language Kannada so that it would be quite easy to understand read and write. As I started with this newspaper it was quite difficult for me to go in an order-I mean in sequence. Slowly i tried to catch up and continued my assignment. the order in which I followed regional paper was quite different for other paper I read. In this paper my only intension was to complete reading it as soon as possible.

Few interesting news that I found out for one whole week are as follows:

Dental Medical student coming out with 7 gold medal

Daughter of a military man who gave full freedom to his daughter to opt for the subject she want to study and liked to do. She did it with full determination and courage to finish and come out with colours. She was able to achieve her dream. In the end of the article there was few tooth care tips available to.

Flood relief measure in Jammu and Kashmir:

As we all know Sinagar is under relief measure. Though relief measure is in peak , soldiers are not able to rescue everyone due to non stop rain and few unavoidable conditions. The above picture shows us how the rescue measure is taking place in Srinagar from past one week. Government has provided all the required equipments and power to conduct this measure more faster.

Second herd of elephants in Mysore:

AS we know Mysore is famous for Dassara Festival. Jambo safari is one the important feature of this festival. Third herds of elephant will be arriving on 17 of September so that Mysore palace is filled with herds of elephant. Food for elephants- banana,sugarcane etc are arriving from corner of state and 50 members are taking care of these elephant. eagerly waiting for Jambo safari ....

Jyna Peeta awards alone cant help in developing Kannada language:

Jyna Peeta award also know as one of the prestigious award for Kannada writers. Here is one interesting article about it. We all know if a writer comes out with this award in his hand its a recognisation for his work.But there are few things which every writer has to have in mind so that we can develop and achieve a standard our state language .

Israel and Gaza conflict.

Gaza-Israel conflict:

At present one of the issue which drew the attention of people towards it for a short while was - Israel and Gaza conflict. once we try to find the solution behind this conflict we are sent more than a decade back to find the reason behind this brutal act. Gaza which is in between Israel and Egypt.

Since three teenagers where killed in the border of Gaza who was from Israel and as a revenge teenagers from Gaza was killed. As a result of this rockets fires was fired from is both the side for the above reason. medical facility, basic needs, trade everything was stopped from Gaza.

Though Israel launched"Operation Protective Edge" for stopping rocket fires which was not successful. Loss of many peoples, home, siblings property was the only outcome of this conflict is what i felt from this article.

If people or authority from both the side would have been strong in a saying that "past is past" then this massive loss would have been controlled to some extent. At last after 50 days of war ceasefire was agreed by both the side under the terms of -Israel as a part of its Operation Protective Edge involved a ground operation to destroy Hamas tunnels, which have been used to launch attacks into Israel. Israel says it destroyed 32 but acknowledge some may have gone undetected.Israel has also made it clear that it wants Gaza to be demilitarised.

But the fight is not yet over they have only agreed for a long term ceasefire.

The below are the two links which I followed to find about Israel and Gaza conflict.

Fourth Estate... part 5

This time the biggest mistake that i did was selecting The economical times as my newspaper for this week. economical times was really boring to do, but i managed to go with it. here are few notes about the interesting news that i came through:

India opens up to Ubuntu:

Being a computer science student i felt like reading this topic.Ubuntu Linux based operating system which is more efficient than windows and costly, but Ubuntu is not the same. one drawback is it is not user friendly. since it is of low cost and no need of anti virus too many companies are moving towards Ubuntu. Narayana Hrudalaya is also on process of moving towards Ubuntu software.

World's fastest gaming mouse makes it debut:

This is another major step in technology. everyday their is one or the other development in the technology field.This mouse will spend tracking speed of over 500 per sec. This was really amazing. though I don't know much about technology the above news and this one caught my eyes.

Tamil cinema does a sound of music with Kaviya Thalaivan:

This was really an interesting one for me to go through with. i Liked the way the article predicts the role of music in past decades of Tamil cinema. this Kaviya Thalaivan movie is gonna have nearly 14 songs and few short songs to.I'm eargerly waiting for this movie. This is because there is really a change in the way till now Tamil movies had songs and this new one.

No address to Joint session , but Modi to meet Us senators:

Am not sure about what Modi is upto. This man bough many new rules regulation and few more changes in state level and national level. His each action speaks loud. Same thing is followed here to. I this conference in US will have a good impact on India. Eargerly waiting for new amendment to be passed or given by Modi government.

Fourth Estate.. part 4

Now a days reading newspaper has become routine to me. As per the instruction given by sir I decided to take up with Bangalore Mirror. I have heard that Bangalore Mirror is one such paper that covers many aspect of our city. I also found it true after I finish reading the paper.

Few interesting news like the previous newspaper that I found in this paper too are:

More than a Lalbhag has been wiped out from city was another humorous article. this is because as we know Bangalore is also know as "Garden City". Now the same garden city is slowly changing to treeless and garbage city. cutting down of many trees for the construction of metro and no saplings been replaced by BBMP was mentioned sarcasticlly in one of the paragraph of this article. But Siddharamaya was proved again wrong for his statement mention- double the sapling was planted.

Textbook crunch hits blind students: Braille textbook is the only source for visually challenged students. the only Braille printer in state is under repair and sent to Norway for repair. Government spends fund in many issues but some money can also be spent on this issue so that visually challenged students can me profited from this and also a major step taken towards their education level.

Once a nurse, now boss at same hospital: Santy Sajan was working in leading private hospital for more than two years, and then she did her Phd along with MBA. At last she is the manager at the same hospital. this shows determination, will power and hard work brings reward apart from anything else in the world. though she comes from a poor background and single parent, her determination bought colour into her life. This article was really inspiring.

Woman, 2 girls killed in Pak blasphemy row- this news talk about the communal riot in Pakistan. This riot is because of the kabul post in facebook posted my a minority Ahamids boy. Its because of this act the whole Ahamids group was treated brutally and killed many people too. though this act is illegal and can be sentenced to death to but common people taking this in hand seems to be violence

Accident in Telangana level crossing: Many people including 14 school was dead and injured in this incident. This is mainly because of carelessness. Many such incidents take place in level crossing. Hope government takes quick action against this.

These are few interesting news that I came through this week.

Wikileaks...

Wikileaks is an non-profitable jornalistic online web organaisation.This organisation is mainly used to leak secret information. More than 1.2 million documents is published by this organisation. Julian Assange is known to be the founder, editor in chief and director of this organisation. Wikileaks which is know as threat to many government in this world is neither stateless nor under any big shot's control. There is no political influence too for this organisation for maintain the secrets that has reached them.

Wkileaks registered on 4th of october 2006 by Julian Assange who was an Australian internet activist started this organisation successfully. The main goal of wikileaks is "to bring the truth to public" which was nearly successful my them. Wikileaks is mainly used to publish censor issues that was censored in news channels and other news media. "wikileaks is free from censorship". This is the source for historians and other common people to gather information fully. since this organisation is considered to be treat for American countires they tried to control the server from all possible ways and also filed case on this organisation. thought the proceedings was going on they couldn't stop the working of wikileaks. This is mainly because wikileaks had many servers in different part of the world. If one server is closed from one part of the world other server gets activated.

so controlling this organisation is still a dream for other governments. Many issues that was censored was bought into light by wikileaks organisation. Few documents released by them are 12 July 2007 Baghdad airstrike. Granai airstrike, Love Parade stampede etc. Manya times wikileak has announced about the shortage of funds. After many issues the managed to come out of this problem.

On overall conclusion wikileak is stateless politics free organisation used to published uncensored news to public and gains little profit from this.

Fourth estate part-3

Deccan Herald newspaper was totally different from other two newspapers that I did until now. The order in which news are arranged are really interesting. This time the pattern I read paper was totally changed. I followed very linear way of reading the paper i.e., from the beginning to the ends of the paper sequenctially from beginning to end of each publish. Supplements was pretty similar to “The Hindu” paper.

Few random interesting news that I came through this week are:-

“Thank you white stars, for keeping us safe on road was very touching. It is very rare that a police official being felicitated by leaders. For the first time I heard a person felicitating a traffic police for his sincerity and dedication. This picture will speak for itself.

Modi shares his personal number with higher officials: some rapid actions taken by Modi is developing our country day by day. Its like every day at least one news pops out about our prime minister. Today sharing his personal number with ministers and offer of any time call alone with website address put me in little shock.

Not exactly appetizing!

Empty plot in Bangalore is always known as upcoming garbage dumping plot . The curx is one of the land mark in bangalore K.R. Market is also famous for the garbages dumped there.. vendors selling vegetables near the garbage makes people disgusting to buy grossary from there. One of the famous bus stop kalasipalya is also the same. One good rain will make the place slushy and difficult to walk.

I & B ministers sends late comers back home. It’s a common myth that all the government employees and other government officials come late and leave early to home. Surprise inspection by chief minister made everyone to sit on fire. Few people who reached after 10 a.m. was sent home on bases of casual leave. Same thing was held in few other places as per the instruction of Modi

Anna university admits transgender in engineering course: Grace Baue tried her level best to manage a seat in Anna university. This is a first time transgender being taken in to engineering course. She was very happy and also mentioned that if seat is not offered she would take this issue to high court to.

Difference between THE HINDU and THE TIMES OF INDIA newspaper

Difference between THE HINDU and THE TIMES OF INDIA newspaper

One among the major selling newspaper in Bangalore “The Times Of India” mostly covers crime news.People who are interested in thrilling and criminal cases one best solution for them would be this paper.Coming to the way I follow this paper is more or less the same pattern that I followed for my previous paper- The Hindu. One best part of this paper is absence of “editorial page”. Some disadvantages of this paper are lots of advertisement and useless news in second and third page.This sub paper known as Bangalore times is always interesting because knowing about our city is always enthusiastic and this gives platform for discussion too.

A small shop also know as S.S. couriers from where we get newspaper from and it’s the newspaper agency for our area. When I went to enquire Mr.Murali about his newspaper and magazine business he was not interested in talking much to me, since he was busy with his work. At last he was able to answer only two to three questions of mine. Nearly 8 sells boys work under him and they cover full area of “kaggadasapura”. Commonly in my area English paper are in demand, regnal paper like tamil and kannada are in next place.

Some interesting news from The Times of India are:

“music,dance and drama makes maths lovable” here songs and music plays the role of a teacher. Students have particular songs for maths operation. For example BODMAS students have a particular song through with they do sums in an interesting way. In Bangalore mirror one article like Destination to romance the rain was very interesting to read Recipe like Ice cream sandwiches are the hot news dessert was a food of fun combination and innovative too.

One good news was on newspaper which should be followed by many people in Bangalore as well as in India. Garbage solution is in our hand. This is a very simple article which clearly says keep your surrounding clean automatically our area and city will be clean in some days. Now a days approximately all the odd numbered pages are filled with advertisements in times paper. Which was annoying. facial–recognition tool that can help find missing kids was quite interesting.

Healing hearts without cutting through bone seems to be a mile stone in medical field. Bypass surgery without opening chest makes people to come out of these types of surgery though it is costly.

Blast in vishakapatnam explotion of ammonia compressor at pharma city was threatening to the people near by and also people who read this news.

Difference between newspaper and web site

Reading news paper physically and through newspaper website has a drastic changes both in experience and reading method. Once readers remained as passive users. As the technology developed passive users became active users of newspaper and websites. Coming to the assignment given- difference between traditional paper and news website has many changes.

Few of them that I came through was the sub links that is associated with each headlines, which takes us to other links and a detail explanation on particular topic. Here one big advantage is we get news update as soon as possible. But in traditional paper it is only on every sunrise we get the paper in our hand to go through it. According to me news website are suppressing the growth on traditional paper.

Use of graphical images, videos related to the news extensive links makes reader feel much comfortable and active interaction is provided to the user.

FOURTH ESTATE..

Reading newspaper is one of the health habit that was suggested by our parents and elders. In this fast going life we don't have time to spend in reading newspaper. Many of us stick to social app and news website to know the information about this world.

It's always me who decides the paper that I want to follow. After thinking for a long time I decided to follow one of the leading newspaper called "The Hindu" till that I was following news update on Internet. Once when it was told to read a soft copy it was bit hard to follow. Lack of time is one odd reason. I commonly read only head lines first after that editorial page which is time consuming and all the pages that are filled with advertisements. Only after I complete these things if I have time I would follow other news and go detail into it.

Coming to the interesting news that I came through this whole one week are

Published on June 6:

Not so many things was interesting in the main paper on June 6 but sub paper was interesting. One such news was " Behind the veil". Many a times we people don't see things in all the possible ways and arrive to a general conclusion. But this article which was mainly based on the short film Hirja. This film is mainly based on the life style and looking in to the world through a transgender position. Though this article didn't give much information about the topic, it was quite interesting.

Published on June 7:

Many news that was printed was recursive for eg: Mullaiperiyar dam issue, Cauvery water crises and bomb blast issues. One news from Tamil Nadu border Coimbatore where in Ganga hospital was little interesting. Rare palm transfer for contract worker. I feel these type of news and surgeory are rare because no common daily wage worker gains or goes through such expensive operation in critical condition. This article gained my knowledge slowly.

Published on June 8:

Finally June 8 was the day Tamil Nadu was eagerly waiting from many years. Kudamkulam unit 1 was successfully started on that day and no power cut after July was announced officially. Rise of new state called Thilangana and Modi's official international tour list was quite interesting.

Published on June 9:

June 9th paper was more or less senti. Many award functions inaugural programs was celebrated all over the state but one news from Gulbarga district Karnataka was quite hurting- sacrifice of a child for treasure. News became very furious when it was the father of the child who was also a part of this brutal act.

One more interesting news on that day was "Australia to help Tamil Nadu reduce road accidents". If this measure is taking all over India number of accidents may reduce considerably.

Published on June 10:

This was a mouring day for people in all the corner of the world. One side Jinnah International flight on attack. In India 25 students washed way in which four body was recovered. Child labours in Kalamkari. One interesting news was Kamal Hassan open talk about film industry.

This week book review was not so interesting. Commonly book review pages contains at least four different novels or friction to talk about but this time the number was considerably less.

Published on June 11:

Accuest involved in PG rape case was arrested and also the people associated with the crime. Today's paper was filled with Miss Jayalalitha full size picture and her agenda along with other social work images.

How Google could disrupt global internet delivery was much useful and interesting waiting for this to happen soon.

Published on June 12:

Reading paper slowly became boring job at the end of the day. so i decided to find information about football world cup. whole world was waiting for this day from last month.but i forced my self to read about this topic and saw trailer and advertisement.
