Reminiscence

This post describes the entire working of Quadcopters in a nutshell. The steps which my team followed during the entire process are shown below in a general format. It only describes the pre-requisites of each phase. As a final year project or any engineering project, "Autonomous control of an Aerial platform" has taken heights, right after the advent of Drones. However it is really difficult to realize such controls. Moreover few people like Jeff Rowberg, Oscar Liang have worked on it and that too on Arduino Platform. Before going into the complicacies associated with the research here is a brief description of the objective. The aim is to construct an aerial platform and embed certain algorithms which can autonomously control the platform when on flight. Here the platform is selected as a Quadcopter. After construction of frame and mounting of parts like Electronic Speed Controllers, Brushless DC Motors, it is required to get the sensors and controls ready. Sensors

This post is dedicated to the tiresome journey that I had to face for getting “Passport”. As graduation came to an end, the very next thing that I initiated was to appear for Aspire Modules (For TCS joining date) and also in the meanwhile apply for a fresh passport. I had heard a lot about the passport procedures. Different people come out with different opinions when it comes to a single topic. And so it happened with "Passport" too. Nevertheless it was me who had to take a decision. So I opted to search for the right procedure. Guess what Goggle helps!! And so it was me and Goggle in an endless interaction over passport. On 3rd July 2014, I applied for the passport online through normal scheme. It was very simple and things went smoothly (no power cut, no problem with server etc). After all the formalities I received an appointment on 8th July 2014. So as such I got my documents ready for the appointment. This was my first venture to Passport Seva Kendra. I don

As the timeline speaks (23rd July 2010)"Welcome" --->"Goodbye"--->"Welcome back!!!"--->"Come back soon"--->............................--->"Farewell"(30th June 2014) --->"I am back!!"(16th July 2014) I left hostel with all my luggage on 30th June 2014 and travelled by bus to Guwahati. But I can't term it as a final goodbye because I was habituated to go by train and final semester results were still left to be served on the table. And so I had to come back. And so did me on 16th July 2014. On reaching Jorhat, I found that I had kept my spectacles and mobile phone on the train which already left to Mariani. What a welcome!!!!!! I had no option but to catch a "magic" transport to Mariani Station. Meanwhile Ankit was on contact with the passengers who found my things. Finally, after an hour of unexpected tensions, I got my things back. I reached hostel at 9.30 AM. I felt as a "fresh

Days at TCS ILP Hyderabad could be best described by the best weekend visits by the best "Weekend Hangouts" group. This group was dedicated only to food-experiences in the city.This post is dedicated to Divyesh, Sarvanan, Vikash and Swastik. Char Minar Weekends are worth "weekendful" only when we can get to know about new places to "eat". And so was the weekend dated 1 st November 2014. With four co-travelers, I started off the journey by catching 116 number bus from Q City(TCS ILP Training Centre) (Nanakramguda Village,Gachibowli) to Kothi. Kothi can be described as one place full of markets in all the directions, where one can look for. However the main destination was ‘Char Minar’. So we took 75 number bus to Char Minar. We reached the place by 4 pm. One could only find tourists in the entire. The place was illuminated in Muslim community dwellings. There were shops all around with various things ranging from food to clothes. All these mar

" Its been three times that I have appeared for AFCAT till date but till now not even a single did I study for more than a day. I am sharing this post citing one of my experience before the exams. So here it goes " Registration opens: June 13, 2013 Motivation widens: After disqualification in UES entry (March 2013) Admit Card: July 2013 Exam: August 25 th 2013 Preparation Date: 24 th 2013 via skipping classes 9.25 AM : Well this is what I call last day before exams. I slept at 2.00 AM with an aim to wake up at 5.00 AM (pathetic planning) but woke up at 9.00 AM as usual. I shall not be going to classes today because I am thinking to sit back and start preparing for tomorrow’s AFCAT. My roommate is still asleep, in fact he is dead. He really encourages to me fulfill my temptation of sleeping so after an hour or so I will retire back to my bed. Moreover I have many works to do.. Firstly I will have to go outside for a lunch sized breakfast. Thanks to our hostel

             It dates long back when the only means of communication were words in different forms embedded in different manuscripts, distributed among the mass. Society grew with media. Right from the pre-historic periods when fire, beacons, smoke signals, drums and horns were predominant to the advent of mail, pigeon post, semaphores and heliographs saw an abrupt change in the science and technology arena of society. In the later stages Graham Bell made it possible to introduce Telephone, the second means of electrical communication after the Electrical telegraph. But the world does not only run on science; commercialization is its staple food. Renaissance period rocked the world with revolutions. The world was soon to be captivated into the hands of capitalists. This led to the first commercial radio-telephone service by U.S. After that whatever happened is crystal clear to all the people. Now, the term is no longer inclusive of mere words, but its spectrum has expanded taking i

" What you are going to read now are woes of a poor miserable human being. It describes his struggle while appearing for TCS exams. The other creatures who were with him in this race were Ankit(Pota), Rahul, Sourav, Brajen, Banajit: all are my batch mates "     It all began last month when I came to know that TCS was about to launch Placement drive for the year 2014, basically for the freshers. GATE was a disaster so how could I miss this opportunity, so as everyone did I too enrolled myself for the same. On March 1 st 2014, maximum of the students received hall tickets for the exam to be held on 8 th March 2014, with many left behind, bearing no mail for the hall ticket. Obviously how could I have got things easily done; even I was among those, who didn’t receive the hall ticket.  Ankit and Sourav told me to call on the toll free number and also mail to the TCS support email id. Trust me it was a horrible experience to call these people and enquire. Firstly they don’
