Hillary vs. Obama

The battle to become“The most important person in the world” has begun. As far as the democrats are concerned, the answer would be the survival of Hillary vs. Obama. Hillary Clinton, a former U.S first lady, is now fighting to get back into the Whitehouse. But this time to make her husband the first gentleman ever in the history of America. One of the best things about her campaign is that she makes herself independent from her husband. She never mentions about the Mr. President Clinton in any of her addresses. She has been in politics for more than a decade and could certainly have experienced the feel of being a President. But will it become reality?

Obama-The face of young Americans!. Wherever he goes this magic man makes the people feel that he is striving hard to do something for their welfare. Three years ago most of the Americans don’t know that he existed, but now the popularity he earned in this short period of time is amazing. Recently in a meeting while reading a report instead of saying “Osama bin laden” his fellow American read “Obama bin laden” by mistake. Once the speaker finished he got up and said “I think that was Osama” and started to drink water coolly. The crowed went on cheers. This attitude of him shows how efficiently he could handle things. In either case, if democrats win this time, irrespective of their candidate, it would turn out to be historic because America never had a lady or a black leading it.So who do u think will be the winner in the battle Hillary vs.Obama?

IDENTIFICATION OF REAL SEBC FROM OBCs

The Supreme Court has come out with a historic the verdict that 27% of the seats are reserved in IITs and IIMs. This again along with existing one makes a total of 49.23%.But it has also clear that it is not applicable for OBCs but to SEBC(i.e.) Socially and Educationally Backward Class. The point is how efficiently the imbued SEBCs could be identified from the group of OBCs. As per the norms of Supremecourt this cream layer forms those who get an annual income of more than 1lakh, off-springs of Ex and present MPs and MLAs, huge land owners etc..
Out of the states in India, the state of Tamil Nadu is one which has produced huge positive records by offering reservations around 65% of the U.G programme for the needy. But in reality this is not going to the real needy. The idea of the government is highly appreciative but the fruit is enjoyed mostly by the CREAMY LAYER as far as states like TN is concerned. To make the fullest use of these privileges it must atleast be based on the range of the standards and the zone of the educational institution they come from.It is very obvious that a student from a school located near a village like “MANJINAYAKKAMPATTI” will have a very less exposure when compared to a student from a city like Chennai or Kovai how ever rich she may be. So it must be seen that she is given a preference which is lacking in the present system. It is also obvious that with the city itself a student coming from schools like DAV, PSBB etc are very well privileged both socially and educationally than an ordinary Government school student. These are some of the methods to identify the real SEBC among the population. Do suggest some of your ideas.

SOME SOULS THAT CHANGED ME IN THESE FOUR YEARS…

Four years ago I entered the campus of sairam engineering college as vasu and am now vasu-BE.. There are many souls responsible to add that last two letter to my name. It would be crime on my part not to mention about them…

Mahendran Sir…

He is one of the most important person who made a gr8 impact in me. He handled us DBMS and we gained a lot from him. We as a class would never allow any staff to take class. We would shout whenever they try to take. That would happen in his class too. But when he takes the chalk piece and goes near the board, all of us would automatically become silent. That much of control he had on us and we a sort of passion towards him
.
JEGI sir…

Jegan sir from the Dept of ICE handled us Microprocessors. We usually call him JEGI…
One of the friendliest sir I’ve ever known. In a short period of time he moved with us very nicely. He is presently not in Sairam and we miss him a lot. He thought us many difficult concepts in microprocessors and micro-controllers easily and the exam was a cake-walk for us. Thank u very much sir.. where ever u are.. We miss u a lot!

Our Placement dean..

Our placement dean come our HOD Ms.PM.Beulah Devamalar is the magic woman behind my placement. I personally was very carefree about these interviews n stuff. But for her motivational speech I would not have taken things as seriously as I took them and be in the place where I am today.


Manikandan sir…

One of the gem of sairam group of institution. A down to earth person, who is ready to do anything for his student, with high degree of sincerity. He handled us PQT and most of the questions in the paper seem to be very familiar. In case of any problem we could approach him at any time. He would see to us that we get a solution to it. Personality like mani sir could never be forgotten where ever we are.

Caleb sir…

Caleb sir handled physics for one of the sections. For those who missed him, u have surely missed something really big at sairam .A person who is more than a staff. A great friend! His style of taking class is absolutely stunning. In first year we used to wait for the acoustics class done by him. A wonderful teacher & gr8 a person to move with.


Chandramohan sir…

We call him C.M. He handled us only lab sessions. He never behaved to like a teacher, but as a very good friend. He is not in sairam now. We miss him a lot!

Each one of them has contributed some5thing for my growth. I extend my sincere prayers to the almighty that I must never forget them in my life.

IS STUDIES IN INDIA RESERVED FOR RICH?

One of the most expensive and money making field in India as of now is education. Especially Fee for the courses like B.E, MBA etc… has hiked enormously in the past two years. I’m a B.E final year student and four years ago the fee structure was fixed around 45000 to 60000 per annum depending on the college we get in. But now a student getting into a self-financing Engineering College need to pay nearly 1 lack as FEE (If management seat, then additional charges apply*).This does not restricts to the self financing colleges alone. The recent hike in the fees of IIMs would serve as a best example. IIM-B doubled its fee while IIM-A increased nearly two and a half times. A massive hike from 4.5lacks to 11.5 lacks has made many of the middle class IIM aspirants of this country think twice. Though Education loans are offered, its interest rate is around 11 to 12%. What could be the possible reason for education turning “difficult” to middle class and a “dream” to poor? Do express your view.
