The video I found in youtube about Marissa Mayer impressed me more. And for those of you who are reading this, please do go and check about Marissa on youtube.

She told in one of the interviews that when all her friends chose to go for modeling, she wanted to do something different, explore new things and wanted to achieve greatness and she thanks herself for taking that initiative to deviate from modeling and go into the technical field.

What I learnt out of this is that you are never too young, nor too old to achieve something. She is a technocrat which is something I aspire to be and one of my role models.Be brave to be different.believe in yourself

“If not now!. Then when?”

Thank you Shwetha(my sister) for asking me to read about this wonderful women.

Mark zuckerberg

“who is not on facebook?And the whole crowd starts laughing”

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) is the founder and CEO of Facebook . well, who doesn’t know mark? He created facebook along with his roommate during his studies in Harvard University and after many controversies facebook was finally his!.He had always been fond of computer since his childhood and created “Zucknet” when he was in his school wherein neighboring houses could communicate .mark’s father once said “when others were playing games, he was creating one”. He was interested in literature, poetry and psychology. He dropped out of Harvard once he developed facebook and is the youngest billionaire. He knows many languages (communication and also programming).the movie “The Social Network” was made on mark and the world then came to know that truth behind the whole making of facebook.

I also saw the documentary on facebook by the discovery channel and the next one by the history channel and there they have clearly shown about his controversies, how he overcame them,facebook cool workplace, and his pure love for the poets!

The change from orkut to facebook was the biggest turning point in the revolution and we are now in the “facebook era”. Facebook is still the number 1 social networking site because they keep upgrading it and add more features into it making it additive to the users. Today, it is the place where a lot of competitions are held, networking skills are tested, and start-ups have originated only from marketing in facebook. It is in a state where any company that exists for real should exist virtually through facebook too. It not only acts as social networking sites for friends, but also as a business site. There are experts who guide only on how to market company well in facebook, manage the page and update it!.

If you have to make it the best, then never stop working on it!

Hectic Day! ah!

“When you start to love yourself, the world around you starts loving you”.

Today I had a very tough lab internals-“microprocessor”. I was lucky to get the first program .and my internal marks was revealed and I stand number 1 currently am going to ensure I remain in this position even for the external exam.

Last night there was too much workload. I had to meet with the LI2 company deadlines (work on raspberry pie) for which I worked from 5 to 10, write about the novel I read from 10 to 11, blog about yesterday’s activities which I wrote from 11 to 12, finish up editing of college newspaper which I did from 12 to 2.I slept after that and I woke up at 5 and studied for my microprocessor lab internals. Last night I read only 25 pages of Varun Agarwal’s “How I braved Anu Aunty and co-founded a million dollar company” and I apologize for that. I am going to promise you that I will finish reading the book tonight and start with the other 2 tomorrow. 

Today I read in Wikipedia about

1)Mark Zuckerberg,founder of Facebook

2)Marissa Mayer,CEO of Yahoo

3)David karp,founder of Tumblr

All of them are super achievers in their fields and are highly passionate about their work.

Smile a lot.It will shoo away the pain!.

Page 1-25 of "How i braved Anu aunty and co-founded a million dollar company"

Well, now I understand why all youngsters love this book. In the beginning of the book he says “Thank you Mom for your support and if you are reading this, please don’t read further, you know I love you” adding a little humor and making the readers laugh silently before starting the novel.

The book starts with the chapter named “He Got Only 95 per cent, Ya” wherein the author tells about his mother’s friend “anu aunty” who is cribbing about her son not doing well and getting only 95% .in the contrast, varun has scored just average and his mother has no words to tell. So I think in this whole book anu aunty is the villain or a negative energy in his life. He explains about how anu aunty always comes to his house only to brag about herself and her son. She keeps telling about her son’s promotion in his company, how well he plays violin and how obedient he is. Whereas, varun in the other end has no job, plays no music, has made some short movies which anu aunty tells is no-use, and doesn’t obey his parents.

He explains about Bangalore, it’s beautiful weather amidst traffic, it workers all over, how important is weekends and how friends meet up in the weekends ,discuss about their work, recollect old memories, miss them together and have lot of fun.

On one of the weekends when his friends assemble, one of his friends tells him that he has got an extremely good GMAT score and Varun tells his friend who works in KPMG about his plan of starting a company which sells pullovers to school with the school logo on it and his friend is very impressed by it.Later when Varun tells anu aunty’s husband that he is planning to start a company, he mocks at him and asks him to search a job instead of waste time in non-sense.

What I learnt out of this is that have the ability to dream. Even when the whole world discourages you, never let your dreams die. Don’t worry about what others talk. Be crazy enough to think different and move away from the normal line of life. Even when everyone around you stop you, get up and keep walking.

You and only you should protect your dream and never let it die
