"Revolution 2020" - Do you believe ?

Liked chetan Bhagat his novel revolution 2020. I have no doubt that chetan bhagat has guts to attract and publicize his stuff. In effect i could not resist my self to finish it as early as possible. Good amount of suspense and obviously if there is chetan bhagat then there would be a love story too ha ha :). Pointed out the corruption done by the political leaders but at the same time that honest persons and poor are helpless.
            The question raises that do you believe on Revolution 2020, whether there are persons like Raghav and Gopal in india. I was comparing Raghav with Anna Hazaare there is some similarity between them but still the difference is age, a generation gap is there in there age whether the youth think same like him don't know by the way i don't think like this truely speaking.....
               
                     Is there any message from the novel if yes then what?

           And what Gopal did at the last i don't think anyone of us will do like this (exceptions are everywhere) and at the last who is the Hero the same question i was asking to myself when i was reading "3 mistakes of my life" and i figured out very strange and here in this it was difficult to figure out that who is the hero?
            When  i was reading the novel i was placing myself on the place of Raghav but when the end came and when raghav ditched aarti i was saying myself  "nahi yaar mein raghav nahi ho sakta" ha ha .. :)
             Last but not least about aarti was thinking that whether there is any aarti in my life or not? ha ha ha :) :) ...
     

         hey how much you remember?

the school's name where aarti and gopals's friendship started?
Full name of aarti ?
aarti's father's name?
which coaching institute gopal joined ?
in which locality gopal stayed in kota ?
 gopal's tayaji name?
state university vc name?
and many more......

But at the last we forgot about the revolution 2020.
 bye bye ...........

Launch of "AAKASH"

5 OCT., 2011 DELHI 

It was 5 Oct.,2011 day when "AAKASH" launched officially by Kapil Sibal HRD minister. I was one of the witness @ Delhi Vigyan bhawan.

Preparations started so many days before the launch and from IIT Rajasthan they arranged 4 AC buses from jodhpur to delhi for us to attend the function and those who want to go by train IIT was bearing expenses upto III AC.  Feeling was awesome as we received official cards issued by HRD ministry.

Journey was fantastic and we enjoyed lot during the journey. Faculty members were also with us and they were also enjoying. Some were smoking they were in casuals not in formals. They have done very good arrangements for our dinner. But journey was tiresome because we were going by bus.

In morning we reached Vigyan Bhawan and i was watching it like wow. There was huge media it was first time i was watching huge media personalities lively in front of my eyes some were arranging their cameras, some were talking on their phone, some were busy in preparing their notes, some were taking interview of guys like us and some were busy in preparing their copy and pen to write something. So this was the scene there about media personalities and with them there were huge number of students from all over india were representing their respective colleges.
 Scene was like perfect filmy scene a big auditorium, so many reporters and journalists standing with their cameras and waiting for a minister to come for  a press conference, waiting to click for a historical moment.
 Ya the special thing was that we were having a special designation in front of our seats as "Device Trainer" because we tested this device and we know how to operate it hence if any student face some difficulty then they can ask us for help.
At the last Kapil Sibal came with 2 more dignitaries and our director too. They took their seats and now kapil sibal launched the "AAKASH" with so many flashes of camera and flashes lightened the whole auditorium. Data wind founder some Mr. Tuli also gave his opinion and about manufacturing of this device. Devices were distributed among several students who came from several colleges and diversified background. After the end of the speech media personalities attacked on Kapil sibal and fired their questions on him. It was the time of interview and Mr. Tuli was running and media was running behind him.

So it was awesome to be part of it and we were like spectators there and were only for clapping and cheering and making the environment crowdy that' s all but still we discovered some enjoyment in it and helped and interacted with the guys who asked us about this project and vision behind it ...

Awesome  enjoyed ..

"AAKASH Inside Story "

"AAKASH" made enough news in media and so called worlds cheapest tablet pc made by indians.Rumors are that it is totally made by indians. Actually this is not true. Telling you when this idea conceived. First MHRD ministry took the initiative to make a cheapest pc that can be distributed among the poor kids and in rural areas. Then all directors of  IIT'S and prestigious administrative officers in HRD started to meet to make strategy on this project.

                           IIT Rajasthan Director Prof. P.K.Kalra proposed a master plan and now the first part of the project started @ IIT Rajasthan.

 the interesting part is ...........
IIT Rajasthan published tender in newspaper and invited several companies to bid on the project several companies came to IIT Rajasthan including intel. Now the challenge was to bid lowest for the project. Intel declined and they said that they can not make a tablet in 1500 Rs. and now a US based company Data Wind accepted and they agreed to make a tablet in 1500 Rs. (includes government subsidy).

Data wind it is US based company but the owner of this company is NRI Sardar and company has it's branches in india too with manufacturing plant in Hyderabaad. This company accepted the deal and now the beginning of this project started.

Facts are iit's are not involved in the manufacturing of the AAKASH it is totally made by this company the second even the chips and technology used in this tablet not unique and not even suggested by IIT's.

Still I am happy because the first consignment of all the "AAKASH tablets" appeared in IIT Rajasthan for testing and we are fortunate that we got "AAKASH" even before the launch of it. We as a whole tested these tablets and we are provided with the full checklist (those things) we would have to check in AAKASH. It was really fantastic that world was dreaming to have it in their hand and it was in our hand.

At the last i want to say it is initial step and there are so many shortcomings in the tablet but please accept it because it is a initial phase and everything takes time with time it would get improved. Various improvement are going on in this project and soon we will see better version of this tablet  in market. Improvements are going on and IIT Rajasthan is setting up very advanced lab on the processors that is used in this tablet (ARM processor lab) and soon the technical work will start here on "AAKASH". Definitely we will make it better we need support from all over india and that's all about the AAKASH.
