Operation Graduation

Well guys yesterday was pretty much an amazing day for me. It all started when i left Karachi Shipyard round about about 2:30 with my friend Sanjeev (we both doing iternship there). Actually i had to attend a meeting of IEE at Avari Towers with my friend Whiz who is doing internship at State Bank these days. So i left Sanjeev in the bus and went into State Bank to meet Whiz. It was an amazing atmosphere there. The IT department is superb. I met some of my university fellows there. Whiz took me to their server room ..it was amazing…i saw the server room of that scale first time in my life. That network was connecting all the branches of State Bank within Pakistan. Ok..enough of this..then me and Whiz went to Avari Towers for our meeting. Whiz went to the hall. Our Karachi head told me to accompany our meeting guest. I went to the main entrance and found the Vice Chancellor of our University Engr. Abul Kalam. I took him downstairs to the meeting hall. But some of the people in the meeting were late because of the traffic jam in the city. So the meeting had to be delayed. I went back to the Avari Hotel reception to confirm that any guest that come there should be directed to the Wood Pecker lounge where our meeting is taking place. Ok as soon as i did that…my eyes suddenly moved to the entrance and i saw Pakistan’s Cricketing Legend Wasim Akram. I couldnt believe at the first instant that it was wasim but i said to myself ..”yeah man its wasim” the cricketer who has done so much for your country is right before you….Ok i decided i will talk to him…I went forward and shook hands with him. He was probably coming from Tennis Court. I requested if i can take a picture of him. He said “Yes”. I asked him whether he will come on ESPN or not and he said “haan aaonga”. He and I went inside the hotel and there i gave my cell phone to the reception guy . I told him to take the pic and he took it. Too bad the pic was a blurred one …he was a bit far and he also moved the camera while the pic was being taken.but i was too much delighted to meet Wasim..Ok there was no time for the second one. So i said Wasim “thanks!” and left. The pic is still in my cell and will transfer the pic on my computer when i will get the device. So after that i went to attend the meeting…and after 15-30 mins..there came the snack time…there were Kabab’s , Chicken & Cheese sandwiches, Samosas, Pastris and other snack stuff. Actually it was IEE who was financing it so we the meeting guys ate them like nuts ….Hmm..after another hour the meeting finished. Me and Whiz and some other mates of our university went to see the Tennis Court incase if we can meet Wasim again but lightining never strikes twice at the same place…so all of us left Avari to our houses. It was indeed a pleasant day . I came back home on Whiz’s car which needed some water on the way back but all in all it was a one fine day!

Its our great leader Birth Anniversary today as well. Quaid-e-Azam who came, who saw and who realized the dream of muslims. It was because of effort of millions of muslims under the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam that we now see Pakistan on the map of the world.

The picture below shows the mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam.

Merry Christmas to all my Christian fellows and blog readers.

The only country you will find “some” people rioting against a Dam is Pakistan. Let me tell you the whole scenario. Pakistan’s province Sindh is an urgent need of a dam so that the water obtained due to rain doesnt get wasted and can be used for a longer period time. Punjab is the province through which the water reaches to Sindh. So if excess rain takes place in Punjab, they have to open the gates of their dams so Sindh gets excess water which gets wasted. In sindh, rain doesnt take place so much whereas in Punjab it is the exact opposite of it. So the need of a dam arises for Sindh. Unfortunately when rain doesnt take place in Pakistan, Punjab sometimes dont give the due amount of water to Sindh due to which Sindh suffers…this is all due to personal gains of people because some stupid feudals have forgotten that its their country which comes first not their personal lives.

God save Pakistan. Amen

Abraham Lincoln once stated a doctrine for successful democracy and leadership …
“To the people, for the people, by the people”

In Pakistan, the doctrine of successful leaders is:
“Throw the people, far from the people, buy the people”

I finished one poll from my blog and the results are:

71% people voted in favor of talks with Israel.

29% voted against!

So now we got the answer what to do!

VLSI is Very Large Scale Integration and is one of the three optional courses we will have to choose from in the Final Year (other two are Artifical Intelligence and Internet Computing). It is basically related to ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). ASIC are IC’s which perform particular operation and they have all the logic stored in them. This logic can be produced by two ways. Firstly by using Verilog and secondly by VHDL (obsolete). Programming in Verilog according to my final year seniors is an art to learn and intriguing to perform. VLSI is basically related to hardware type computer engineers who wants to work and play with IC’s.You can develop any sort of IC’s by developing your own logic and implementing it through Verilog. GSM technology can also be implemented through it so just giving an indication that IC’s made using Verilog can be used in communications.

But i am kinda confused…the teacher who teaches VLSI is not satisfactory one according to my seniors….So whether I should take the course or not..i am in dillema regarding VLSI…it all depends on the time that is ticking slowly and slowly ….however i am also thinking about the other two courses as well Artificial intelligence (related to Process models and Robotics) and Internet computing (network security). Which one to choose?..its a tough time for all my university fellows…
