"Finally Something about me"
Well after some quick copy paste from my other blog and my website, I am going to type something ...
Let me talk about myself.
No no no, don't worry not to long, short simple and sweet. I am "A" person living in Pune, India, who has completed his MS in Software Systems from BITS Pilani.
Well I will begin with my MS...
I submitted my thesis on 30 sept and went to pilani to defend in 17th nov. Project was on Associative Morhping, a new concept for morphing meshed bodies based on ideas presented by Brian Huf (Sr. Director, MSC USA). We all call him GURUJI !!!. He is simply brilliant and very very down to earth. He is presently visiting India, and unlike most foreigner's, he tries out every indian dish without cribbing about anything. He really likes it. He has any outlook of a very curious toddler, who looks at world with total appreciation, read to accept any lesson that world will give him, to learn whatever is out there with completely open mind without any present conceptions. Hats off to Guruji. One must have that kind of attitude and I am very happy I got a chance to meet one such absolutely brilliant person.
Well back to Project trip...
Let for Jaipur on 15th by plane from mumbai. Then on 16th had a 6 hour bus drive from Jaipur to nowhere, A place called Pilani. It is a small town with no hotels or anything. It's not a town, but a village with the university campus probably taking up most of the space. Luckily the university has a nice guest hotel. On 17th successfully defended my project called "Associative Morphing". The examiner was so impressed that he gave me marks right in front of me and showed me the grade, "EXCELLENT" :). Then again one long 6 hour ride back to jaipur. On 18th went with Jaipur tourism one trip bus and saw almost all Jaipur. And back to Pune on 19th.
Some more details about BITS, Pilani.We arrived in BITS Pilani campus on 16th midnight. And thankfully, VFAST is open 24 hrs. After showing our hall tickets, we where allocated rooms. Cost is rs 350 for 24hrs inclusive of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Where nice and comfortable rooms... and clean.
The Pilani campus is huge. On 17 th we had to report by 9.30 to the faculty division 3 of main BITS building. It is around 10-15 mins walk from VFAST. On the way, one passes by Hostels, staff quaters and lawns and grounds... Besides the main building is the BITS science museum. It's very nice museum with number of miniature models of different heavy industries. The museum reminded me a bit of the museum in Bangalore (on Kasturbha gandhi road), don't remember the name though. The museum has it's own miniature coal mine. It's good place to visit.
My viva was at 4 pm. So from 11 pm to 4, I roamed around and saw the museum, Birla mandir (wonderful temple.. must see, but have some weird timings...) Shiv ganga (saw it from distance) and the main building. One has to walk a lot, and because it is Rajsathan and we where carrying our 5kg laptops with us... it was tiring.
After the viva, went to the Library. Thats a superb building and wonderful library. Do note that if your carrying ur laptop with u in bag, then tell that to door keeper and donot deposit ur bag with door keeper. (Actually the door keeper himself told me this...).
But for me library is a place where one sits down and reads... Well generally people arriving have very less time to read books. So my advise is, see the building from outside, go inside and check the Paintings... and then leave immediately, don't waste time.
Now couple of things I would mention is, Roads in Jaipur and Rajasthan. They are awesome. Smooth, flat and dead straight roads. It was amazing. And there are really no turns on the road. Amzing....
And secondly.... rickshaw drivers in Jaipur .... !@#$@!#. For going 12 kms they charged 200 bucks.... Offcourse, thanks my BARGAINING and very very special KAV KAV skills, I managed to pay Rs 90 once (it was midnight so it was ok...) Rs 60 (morning) and 65 (evening). They recognise tourist very very easily. Thats really sad, because Jaipur is well known tourist destination.
Apart from above minor stuff Jaipur is a great city to visit. The Rajathan government arranges one day Jaipur darshan buses. Simply book ticket for one of them and all important places in Jaipur will be covered in one day. They all arrange night buses. This trip is for visiting palaces at night which have beautiful lighting installed.

This is an article published by Yati Doshi on Rediff.com on March 14, 2006. The reason I am printing this on blog site is because people get so used to sending informal emails to their friends, that while sending official email they forget the etiquette of writing professional email.
Communication has come a long way. And, with the ever-rising popularity of the Internet as a vehicle for formal business communication, Netiquette, a relatively new concept, is a must-know for every professional. It is a set of standards of acceptable behaviour you need to follow when online, and includes rules you need to follow while sending and receiving formal business missives.
Why do you need netiquette? For two reasons: It creates an impression of professionalism. And it ensures the correct message gets across. Some simple rules, if followed while sending e-mail, make all the difference between a good professional impression and a bad one.
Why are you writing to me?
State the purpose of your e-mail -- it is a good practice to have a subject line that explains what follows and how high on the priority list it should be. This information has to be in two places:
i. The subject box, which is part of the compose e-mail form. Here, state the reason for your mail. If you are writing it to apply for leave, you could say 'Leave application'.
ii. Subject line in the main e-mail body; just as you would in any formal business letter. Here, you could say: Sub: Leave application, April 1-April 15 2006
Greet me right
Address people you don't know as Mr, Mrs, Ms or Dr. Address someone by first name only if you are on a first name basis with each other; it is okay, under these circumstances, to use first names on a formal business missive.
If you do not know the name of the person, or whether it is a man or a woman, it is best to address the person concerned as: Dear Sir / Madam, Whomsoever it may concern, The Manager; etc.
And your point is?Get to the point.
Verbosity and extreme terseness are two ends of a spectrum, you should try for the middle -- state your point without sounding rudely brief or chatty.
Remember to state your point and what you expect from the reader of your mail in clear terms. There should also be a clear structure -- an introduction, body and conclusion.
2 use or not 2 use...
Never use 'sms-ese' or informal abbreviations in your email. U instead of you, 2 instead of to or too, plz instead of please, thanx instead of thanks and 4 instead of for are a strict no-no.
While are all right for personal e-mail, they show a level of informality not encouraged in formal business communication. Frequently used abbreviations you may use include FYI (for your information), Pvt., Ltd., Co., etc., OK.
The magic of spells
Though using a spell check is a must, don't rely on it completely. The most common areas of errors and confusion are -- two, too and to.
For eg: Wrong: I would like two order too other books two.
Correct: I would like to order two other books, too.
A hit or miss effort with spellings does not help -- use a dictionary.
Write rightGood grammar is very important.
A correctly framed sentence, with proper punctuation in place, is what you should aim at. Be very careful with commas, especially, as they change the meaning of a sentence.
A good example would be:
Wrong: All foreign tea, tree, oils are free from duty.
Correct: All foreign tea tree oils are free from duty.
Use action words and 'I' statements -- they evoke a sense of reassurance in the reader. For eg:
On receipt of your earlier mail, I/ we have already set things in motion and I/ we assure you that you will receive your order on time.
I was responsible for the day-to-day working and administration of the office; planning, scheduling, and achieving targets were my areas of contribution.
Mind your P's and Q's
Though a friendly tone is encouraged, basic corporate etiquette rules do apply. So, maintain a well-mannered, friendly polite stance.
Gender-neutral language is politically correct -- couch your e-mail accordingly. This essentially means you should not assume a person's gender on the basis of the designation. Keep the e-mail neutral.Attachment breeds detachmentWith worms, viruses, and spam, nobody wants to open attachments anymore, not even if the e-mail is from one's own mother. If you do need to send an attachment, confirm this with the recipient first.
Like an arrow shot from a bow
An e-mail is like the spoken word -- once sent, you can't recall it. By the time you press the recall button, chances are it has already reached and, with it, your recall message. This compounds the embarrassment. So, think before you dash off something.
The KISS rules
Keep It Short and Simple. Use simple sentences, words that don't need a dictionary. Use universal formats -- not all systems support HTML rich style, or tables and tabs. You could lose much by way of appearances if your recipient's system can't support all that fancy formatting you spent hours working on.
Smile please
Smileys and other emoticons are a way to add 'body language' to e-mail. When used appropriately and sparingly, smileys do bring a touch of personalisation to otherwise impersonal mail. Of course, due care with regards to the appropriateness of the communication must be taken.
You would not use emoticons in job application covering letters, while delivering bad news (delay in order, loss of job, etc). Use discretion.
Emoticons are generally used to add comfort to the communication or soften the blow. The most common smiley faces are probably these:
:-) OR :) Just a smile / can be used for greeting or making a point gently. :-( OR :( To show mild displeasure or that something is not going the way you want it to. ;-) Equivalent to a wink -- used to convey that a particular comment is a joke and not to be taken too seriously. ;-> To be used sparingly, and with people you know well, as this signifies a provocative comment.
Humour doesn't travel
What seems funny to you may be offensive to someone else. Remember, humour doesn't travel well. Jokes about religion, sports, political figures, and women may come across as tasteless and should be avoided at all costs.
Swift and promptBe prompt in replying. That is why we have the Internet. If a prompt response were not expected, one would use the postal service.
CAPITAL,
MY DEAR FELLOWIF YOU WRITE IN CAPITALS, IT SEEMS AS IF YOU ARE SHOUTING. You could get really angry responses to your e-mail if you do so, and trigger a flame war.
Fw. Fw. Fw. Do not forward chain letters -- simply delete them. Also avoid forwarding them to professional contacts.
Shh...
It's a secretIf it is a secret, don't send it via e-mail -- you never know where it will end up.
Connections
Keep the thread of the message as part of your mail; this will help keep the context handy. The thread is the previous message/s in context to which this e-mail is being written. Last but not least, please, please read the e-mail before you click the 'Send' button. It will save you a lot of embarrassment and misunderstanding.

People who say Money can't buy anything don't know where to shop?
Experience is like a comb that life gives you when you are bald.
Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.
The biggest guru-mantra is: Never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.
There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.
The world's biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.
The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all direction.
A man is great by deeds, not by birth.
Books are as useful to a stupid person as a mirror is useful to a blind person.
Being challenged in life is inevitable, Being defeated is optional...
Life is tough. If you have the ability to laugh at it you have the ability to enjoy it.

I'm on a seafood diet. Every time I see food, I eat it.
If you're too lazy to start anything, you may get a reputation for patience.
I talk to myself because I like dealing with a better class of people.
Never try to drown your troubles... especially if she can swim.
Teachers are those who help us in resolving problems which, Without them, we wouldn't have.
There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning.
Life is Pleasant, Death is peaceful, Transition is Painful.
Hell has no fury like a woman’s scorn
To err is human; to moo, bovine.
A donkey is a horse designed by a committee.
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
If ignorance is bliss, you must be orgasmic.

"Essentially Unessential"
As the name goes "Essentially Unessential", this is what this site is about, some unessential stuff put on website because it is essential.
Well had to come up with some name for the site and could not think of a better name. The reason, well all this stuff is kind of unessential, or shall I say, excess baggage in the day to day life, but essential if you want to live in day, day out in the so called modern era of technology. I personally don't believe in making websites or blogs. According to me they are only for people with no work. But really how can I say that, especially being a person in Software Development world. Now a day’s, every Tom, Dick and Harry have something on internet/web. Tom may have only email while Dick may have email and websites whereas Harry may have both along with blog's. Taking that into consideration, I currently fall in the category of Dick. :) Yup, extremely poor joke!!!.
Technology had already caught with everybody by mid 20th century, and now it is internet technology that is catching up with everybody. Everybody now has to have an email id. Earlier people used to think creating email id, then maintaining it, removing all the spam's is a burden. People never thought that emails would literally replace postal service, but they have. Emails have almost replaced the postal services. It won't completely replace it but bulk of personnel mails which people use to fondly write have been replaced by emails. Even in third world countries (I hate that word, let’s say economically backward countries), all forms that citizens have to fill have a provision for email ids which the government officials supposedly use to contact people. Even elderly people, whom one may have thought would never give up writing snail mail getting all caught up in nostalgia, now have email ids. They may not have grasped all computer terminologies yet they will know how to switch on a computer, connect to net, and check their emails.
Blogging is now the latest fad. Anybody who has a little bit of literary flair, end up opening a blog and start maintaining their e-diary. I always wonder, if somebody gives them a nice diary and "GOLD PEN" to write with, will they still maintain their diary. I don't think so, majority of them will in enthusiasm fill the first 10 pages, then the diary will lie in corner of some bookshelf accumulating dust. The owner will never throw away that diary for just incase, someday in future he might feel like writing again. The diary will remain as a memoir of the "golden literature days" in the life of author when words flowed from his pen. Hmm... now when I think about it I understand the reason why authors need Muse to inspire them. But blog's are different. People get to write and publish all their "stories" and poems on the net and get immediate responses. That in turn spur's them on to write more.
Well finally, is it really all "Essential" or it is just some "Unessential" stuff for indulging brains into rather than wasting them away doing nothing. For me blogging is something unessential. Websites are essential though, they are the best and cheapest kind of advertisement media for a common man and that in itself says a lot. In the end, people can come up with thousands of points for and against blogs, websites and email id's, leaving the exact answer to my question no-where to be found, which in a way justifies confusion indicated by the name for this site.
