FAR IMAGINATION

It was a great day today, as the computer technology giant, MICROSOFT INDIA visited our college for a seminar. It was an honor for us to have them in our university. They showed us where the technology has reached. You just need to think of the action to be performed and its done. They made us learn how the Artificial Intelligence can be connected to the human beings. It included how a piece of paper can be used as our computer. We can make the use of the wall to perform certain tasks like making pictures,sending emails etc. Al it requires is a head mounted projector and a camera that records the movement of our hands.
It was Er. Rajeev Bhatia and Er. Tarun chough from Microsoft India who came all the way from Banglore to address us.
Er. Rajeev Bhatia told us about the upcoming product of Microsoft called Microsoft Expression Studio where one can create various applications very easily like in Adobe Flash. He also told us about various technologies about which we had never even thought of, showed us some really exciting videos and a small quiz was held on Microsoft.
Next was Er. Tarun chough from Microsoft India who told us about the Robotic Study. He told us how one can create a simple robotic application with in minutes without any need of assembly language. All you require is Microsoft Robot Studio. He also told us how a robot works, what is the mechanism used behind its working. Like sensors are used to sense the area where it has to move, infra red rays act as its eyes and again some sensors are used that hear a command given by the user and it has to work according to it. These all motions are controlled by the brain of the robot called Accelometer. But after it started becoming lil boring and many were interested in moving back home.The guys sitting behind us started playing games.
But it was Er. Rajeev Bhatia back with something really interesting. He told us about the initiatives taken by the Microsoft like Microsoft Student Business, Microsoft Student Partner, Imaging cup etc. The best was the imagine cup where one can show his/her imagination in the fields like photography, softwares, robots etc. But the imagine cup 2010 is almost moving towards its end, as its finale is set to be held in Poland and six engineers from India have been selected there. As we all know that Microsoft don't come for the in campus placements, as they have there own criteria, all you need is to go for Microsoft Student partner, where there are five different levels for the selection. The first level includes a small written test in which only 10% students are choosed from the number of participants and the end only five are provided with the job in Microsoft.
So overall it was really an awesome experience and a life time opportunity for us.

But the journey is not over yet. Now it was time to return back home. Had some snacks in Phagwara and boarded the bus for Ludhiana. Five KM away from ISBT, driver told me that bus will not go to the bus stand and will have to leave the bus here only. It was nine in the night and was left alone on the road with some ugly faces passing by me. Don't know what to do...? Cannot board an auto as its risky going by an auto late night. So I called the cab service but in vain. Kept myself calm and came an idea to call one of my friend who can drop me to ISBT. He came at around 9:40PM and we moved to the ISBT and reached home by 10:30 PM.

With Regards...!
