bvm global trichy reviews

2017-08-08T07:54:00.000-07:00

We enrolled our kid at bvm global trichy in Dec 2015, thanks! they enrolled us in Dec, but they charged us full term fees around Rs.1,00,000 for last 4 months of the academic year.

Lets see some of the pros and cons of this school

Pros:
1. Safety for your kids, once you drop your kids they will take care of your kid with utmost safety.
2. Maximum of 25 students per class room, only one or two class have 40 kids in a class room.
3. Classrooms are spacious with A/C & fans.
4. Here they give receipt for all payments and payments can be made online.
5. Morning and evening prayers in the classroom

Cons:
1. Most of the middle school Teachers in bvm global trichy are INCOMPETENT. Only one effective MATH teacher there, she too got additional responsibility and unable to focus on effective MATH teaching.
2. English teachers does not know spelling for simple words.
3. Tamil teachers teach Tamil from KONAR TAMIL NOTES, they emphasis students to buy KONAR NOTES, they won’t teach from Tamil syllabus book.
4. Music, Robotics teachers mostly engage the designated periods without teaching Music or Robotics. Kids will mostly play or chit chat in those periods.
5. No separate LIBRARY in this school, LIBRARY is part of 4th Grade classroom and if your kids want to lend books they have to come Saturday during the Library period. No previous year question papers in Library.
6. Classroom has 2 A/Cs most of time both will be in Switched OFF. If you kids want to Switch ON the A/C they have to come and contact the watchman in the ground floor.
7. No TREES, if you ask them to plant TREEs, they say to water them we incur additional expenses.
8. No SHED for parking kids bike or two wheelers.
9. Physical Education teachers are not FIT, they won’t teach Games or Sports during the sports periods, they allow kids to play “oodi pudichu” RUN & CATCH games for middle schools kids and they will stand on shade.
10. For Sports Day, Republic Day & Independence Day parade practices these Physical education teachers pull middle school kids during class hours and practice them for the parade during Mid day in the Scotching Sun. Your kid will come home like a burned wood after the parades.
11. During Sports Day kids where asked to sit in the scotching sun, since there is no separate multipurpose room in this school, they arrange few benches, cover them with clothes and the Chief Guest and the Principal will sit on the temporary stage.
12. During “Raksha bandhan” school will arrange a bus and take middle school kids to nearest BSF office and ask the kids to tie the “Rakhi” to BSF Jawans, as per the tradition the Jawans thank the kids and give them return gifts, some will give cash, some Jawans will give Pencil, Pen etc. Once the kids ties the Rakhi and retuned to the bus, all the teachers accompanied the kids ask each and every kid to give all the cash, gifts they got from those Jawans. I don’t know what they will do with those gifts and cash.
13. Principal will always sit in his office. He will be under three tier protection, If you want to see the Principal first you need to sign the register, then they will ask you see Office In-charge an unethical, biased, backbiting women, she will ask you all the details if she is not able to provide answer then she will get permission from the Principal and finally call you inside to meet the Principle.
14. Principle will never allow you to talk. Its a one way communication always. He talks and you need to listen.
15. If you want to talk to the class teachers, you have to come between 3PM to 4PM. They don’t have email, whatsapp or phone access.
16. Teachers compare marks of the kids and discuss the marks of the students in the class room openly and make you kid feel miserable in-front of others if they scored little less.
17. SA1/SA2 questions will be discussed secretly without even informing the kids during the revisions and kids mug up those questions and score high marks.
18. If you are travelling and want to get TC in the mid of the year, you need to pay full term fees to get the TC.
19. In order to keep the strength they will send a cut-off date in January for applying TC, if you miss the cut-off date you need to pay next year half term fees to get the TC.
20. If you are an NRI, want to enrol here you need to get TC from previous school, get it ATTESTED in the Indian Consulate otherwise they won’t give TC when you leave this school after a year of study.
21. Every year they arrange for Foreign tour to Australia & Singapore, one of the kid attended Australia Tour said they booked MOTEL at Perth for the Kids to stay and didn’t spend much for the kids during the tour.

Overall bvm global trichy is an extended day care for kindergarteners, elementary, middle & high school kids with safety but if you expect QUALITY, STANDARDS & EXCELLENCE in EDUCATION THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT SCHOOL.

There is difference between Really being Smart & acting Smart. Bvm global trichy acts as if they are SMART but in reality they are not.

Bvm global trichy focus mainly on Money Making, Cost cutting, getting High fees and spending little for the cause of Education.

Protect your identity online, browse safe

2016-01-20T09:53:00.000-08:00

After moving back to my own Country from United States of America, i tried couple of sites on my homeland, they are either blocked or that particular feature in that site is not accessible from my Country, they restricted the access only to US locations.

After spending sometime online found ZenMate Plugin for Firefox. Using this plugin you can protect your identity, browse safe, change your Country of preference and your traffic is encrypted as well.

You may be in your homeland browsing a site and if you want the traffic from your connection has to appear as USA to the serving host, you just need to have ZenMate Plugin and set your location in ZenMate. You can change your location to USA, Hong Kong, Romania, or Germany these options are available for free for rest of the Countries you need to have Premium plugin.

I tried google.com/voice and want to port my mobile number to my google voice number on google Chrome browser as in Fig1, it seems the porting option is available only to US locations and the error message also is not very clear, then I tried the same url with ZenMate plugin enabled on Firefox and changed my location to USA as in Fig 2, the porting option was going through fine and Im not getting any error message from google voice :-) as in Fig.3

Compared to VPN & other proxy sites, ZenMate seems to be a great option. Enjoy!

office email for communication not for cursing

2012-12-26T21:59:00.000-08:00

Office email is just for communication and for business use, but some of the so called leads in the team misuse their email and send foolish content in their email.

In the year 2006 we were working in an office in Augusta, Bangalore. One of the so called lead use to irritate every team member in the team by cursing individuals in the team and using harsh words in his email above all he will copy the entire distribution list and the client people as well.

Once he sent an email to the whole distribution list copying the System Out logs, using Times New Roman, with size 18, bold, he has typed "System.out.println()" in Red color and saying "i am tired of telling this to you guys don't put System.out.println in the java code, you guys are doing it again, remove them asap", this mail was copied to the client manager as well, seeing this email the whole team was stressed and depressed. On the other hand what the client manager will think about the team? this guy went to onsite from our company and degrading the team in front of the client from onsite. How come client will have confidence in the team?

On another occasion, he want to save his friend staying with him in Charlotte, NC, so he sent a list of concerns with me in his email, putting false blame on me for which his friend was responsible for, and copying the whole group. Later i came to know the issue was caused by his friend staying with him.

This guy is a classic example for poisonous team member, he used his office mail mostly for cursing the team and never used for constructive purpose. This sort of guys in the team are poisonous to the team and they kill the morale of the team instead of boosting it, because of him so many team members left the job and moved to other companies.

This guy lacked the basic culture and doesn't know the email etiquette, even though he can code in java, he can't do and deliver the whole project by himself, he thinks he is the one doing everything in the team, but its not the case, each and every member in the team is responsible for the success of the project and contributed from their part, he never understood the feelings of the individuals, he treated every member in the team as a bonded labor.

The HR team in the company should take strong action against such poisonous team members in the team and save the organization from this foolish people.

Lets use office email for the purpose its meant for, every member in the team is valuable lets not hurt or offend the team members by using harsh words. Words once uttered can never be taken back and they will leave a lasting scar on the person who received it.

How to connect MySQL with Mojito

2012-05-16T20:13:00.002-07:00

Mojito is a open source MVC framework from Yahoo! This framework is a cocktail of HTML5, CSS, JQuery, YUI and build on top of Node.js, the unique feature of Mojito application is, it works in the browsers, even if they doesn't support JavaScript, the server and client application can be written in the same language JavaScript. The framework support multiple devices, there is no need to create a separate application for Android or iPhone, single application works on the web browser and also on the smart phone web browsers.

Mojito libraries does not ship with MySQL libraries, we need to install the node modules for MySQL and include them with Mojito.

Below command installs the node modules for MySQL. (assuming Node.js is already installed in the system).

$ npm install mysql

Once the node modules for MySQL is installed, just copy the mysql folder in the node_modules to the mojito node_modules folder. (bit hacky ).

cp -Rp /home/umatg/node/node_modules/mysql /home/y/lib/node_modules/mojito/node_modules

Since Mojito is a MVC framework written in JavaScript, we need to write the model, view and controller code in JavaScript. The folder structure for a Mojito application looks like below. Please refer the Mojito documentation (http://developer.yahoo.com/cocktails/mojito) for creating a Mojito project and your Mojit.

To establish the connection with MySQL, we need to create the MySQL client object and invoke the query method. The methods to create the client and execute the query are in the mysql.js library file.

The MySQL client object has to be created in the model and the methods in the model can be invoked from the controller and data sent to view in the form of a JSON.

The code below, establishes the connection and query the product table in the ads database in MySQL.

/* models/foo.server.js */

YUI.add('DashboardModel', function(Y) {
    var mysqlCli =require('mysql');
    var mysqlClient = mysqlCli.createClient({
        'host' : 'localhost',
        'port' : 3306,
        'user' : 'root',
        'password' : 'root'
    });

/**
* The DashboardModel module.
*
* @module Dashboard
*/

    /**
     * Constructor for the DashboardModel class.
     *
     * @class DashboardModel
     * @constructor
     */
    Y.mojito.models.DashboardModel = {

        init: function(config) {
            this.config = config;
        },

        /**
         * Method that will be invoked by the mojit controller to obtain data.
         *
         * @param callback {Function} The callback function to call when the
         *        data has been retrieved.
         */
        getProduct: function(callback){
          mysqlClient.query(
            'SELECT * FROM ads.product',
            function selectCb(error, results, fields) {
              if (error) {
                  console.log('getProduct Error: ' + error.message);
                  mysqlClient.end();
                  return;
              }
              var result ={
                    meta:{
                        totalRecords: results.length
                    }
            };
              result.results = results;
              callback(result);
          });
        }

    };

}, '0.0.1', {requires: []});

We are creating the MySQL client object by invoking the createClient() method from the mysql reference object, by passing the connection details. Here the password is hard-coded, we can also encrypt the password and retrieve it from a file.

The query to select the products from the table executed by invoking the query method by passing the SQL Select statement and invoking the selectCb callback function. The result of the query is sent back to the callback in the form of JSON.

Heart Vs Mind

2011-11-11T10:48:00.000-08:00

During production support on call duties, I have the opportunity to work overtime and can bill extra hours for the work I did. If I charge more hours I will get more money.

Mind tells to claim more hours and charge more money, but heart doesn't. Heart says charge correctly, claim for the hours your worked.

I am at peace and have contentment if I follow the heart. But sometimes somebody may think I am stupid and doesn't know how to utilize the opportunity and make money and wealth. Somebody tells I am gentle and professional.

I think true professionalism comes by following the Heart not the mind.

Can we escape from these Private school atrocities in Chennai?

2011-01-21T11:18:00.000-08:00

Parents from middle class family like me should admit our children in Government schools in and around our residence. The amount we spend in private schools can be saved and utilized for our children’s training. We can arrange the training classes outside the school after the school hours, what these private schools are having in their syllabus. In Government schools there are fewer syllabuses and less homework, the child can concentrate on extra-curricular activity. The child can learn computers, a foreign language and martial arts outside the school in an affordable way. There are additional benefits as well, you can avoid the morning stress to you and your children, the transportation charges from home to school, the heft donations and of course the class room teacher and the principle atrocities.

By putting our children in Government schools we can save a lot of money every month, part of this saved money can be spend for the welfare of our Government schools, like providing class room materials and sanitary materials. The able and available parents can volunteer themselves once in a week to take care of the school sanity, the supplies for their class room and can work closely with the teachers to improve the quality of the classroom and the teaching methodology.

The parents here at California (USA) are not sending their children to Private schools. Here they are sending their children to Government schools and the highlight is every classroom has a room parent every day. Parents can volunteer as room parent, they can work closely with the class teacher and help the children in various classroom activities, this helps in bridging the gap between the teacher and the parent. We are following the west in most of the things, why don’t we take this idea from the west and implement in our schools to eradicate the private school atrocities and the stress it’s causing to the middle class parent community.

The time has come to revamp our thinking. Our children can’t grow alone (isolated from the society) and be happy in a society where there are poor and uneducated children around. Instead of thinking about our own son or daughter and her high-tech education, we have to think about the children in our street, the school in our street and the way to improve the school and its standards.

I think by changing our thinking a little bit, we can overcome the troubles we are facing today due to these private schools.

Feel free to challenge this post with your comments and brickbat.

Project experience - Chennai Vs San Francisco

2010-12-30T20:04:00.000-08:00

Chennai (CHE): Not attend after hours call from office, not a big deal. Next day you can go and tell no signal or do some adjustment.
San Francisco (SFO) : Not attend after hours call it becomes a big issue. At-least you should have enabled your voice mail. Should listen to the voice mail and expected to respond back.

CHE: Even though if you don't have work you cannot leave by 5.00 pm. Wait until the manager leaves or on the 8.00 pm cab, whichever is earlier.
SFO: Even if you have work you can leave by 5.00 pm and continue tomorrow. If you have to complete the work after 8 hrs, you can charge over time.

CHE: If you discuss or talk little bit extra in team meetings, colleagues may comment your attitude and criticize (by saying too much scene).
SFO: You need to talk more, ask more questions, clarify each and every concern you have, you can stop them, if you don't understand anything. The guy who asks more question considered to be the bright and intellectual.

CHE: If you had any late night issues you have to come to office next day (bit late may be).
SFO: If you had any late night calls you can work from home next day.

CHE: Work allocation and time allocation is dictated by the Lead
SFO: You can decide and negotiate the task and its time.

CHE: You can do your work and if you are reserved nobody cares.
SFO: You do your work and if you don't interact properly, it will create a big mess and it is considered as a biggest issue.

CHE: You know when your project is going to complete. (enough time is there to get next project)
SFO: You never know when you will come out of the project. (always be prepared)

If you have a 30 years of mortgage, encourage your team members to buy group lottery ticket $1 each and if your team wins the Mega Million, with your share you can pay your mortgage and enjoy your rest of life in Hawaii... ha ha ha...

Force your team members to speak in your mother tongue, if anybody doesn't speak, try to release him from the team... ha ha ha...

You can lead a team of developers for a WebServices project without having any idea on Java. Tell him in our days we use to code in C language, which is far better than Java, and this Java is not even allowing to update a Collection... argue with the developer C is better than Java.. ha ha ha...

You can tell the Spring developers, that you can create the front end screens using Spring ROO in ten minutes, exactly within ten minutes... ha ha ha...

Your friend will be a Cell phone architect, means always having cell phone stickied to his ears, will see some demo video on Spring source and explains it to his people who speaks his mother tongue and will act like the super star architect.. ha ha ha...

Your another friend is a Facebook designer, means he calls himself as designer/manager/architect everything and always on face book, twitter and gmail during office hours, he tells Eclipse doesn't support debugging like RAD.. he is the superstar designer of the team... ha ha ha ...

If somebody works hard and questions all this and doesn't speak your mother tongue, release him from the team saying budget constraints and that too give three days notice to him... ha ha ha...

God bless you with more and more wealth and happiness Parota

My recent experience in a project

2010-07-09T20:12:00.000-07:00

மெய்வருத்தம் பாரார் பசிநோக்கார் கண்டுஞ்சார்
எவ்வெவர் தீமையு மேற்கொள்ளார் - செவ்வி
அருமையும் பாரா ரவமதிப்புங் கொள்ளார்
கருமமே கண்ணாயி னார்.

It may appear like this poem is not applicable for software developers, if some developer follows this poem in his life and work, he will be considered as an dump guy, not so smart etc, etc..

Always talk about others, compare others, criticize others, talk about yourself more and your accomplishment, read tweets, don't do your work in time, then you will be considered as a smart guy (developer)

But you may need to face the consequences later. So always follow the poem, follow the principle the outcome will be rewarding.

So called designers and architects i came across..

2010-07-01T07:40:00.000-07:00

1. Say something stupid in the team meetings and backing it up by saying " just kidding.."
2. Reading tweeter during office hours and discuss those tweets with other team members in scrum room.
3. When they have a little work put on their headphones and concentrate on the work, if they doesn't have any work read tweets, facebook, rss and disturb others and invite other teammates for the discussion and if they doesn't join, tease them and say doesn't have team spirit.
4. Get all the completed artifacts and knowledge from developer who burns himself for more than 10 hrs everyday and send the final delivery mail to the business owners and other stakeholders as if they did everything.
5. Asking the team members to bring snacks every week, talk nice to them only on the day they bought the snacks.
6. Discuss various types of sweets, snacks and finding the Indian restaurants in google map for the weekend party during business hours.
7. Often go and meet Senior managers, Architects and update them as if they did everything and gave all the ideas to the developer.
8. If the developer gets angry, create a bad opinion about him with peers and senior managers.
9. Use office laptop to see movies online during weekends.
10. Get license and install all the costly software like RAD 7.5, Informatica Client, XMLSpy and never opened it during the sprint lifecycle.
11. Advice everyone and when it is unavoidable to write some code on java, use goto statements, continue statement and other C style code in java.
12. Never allow others to talk in the meetings.
13. Even if nobody asks brag about themselves their past achievements and todays leading customer websites are running because of their design ;-)
14. Use to have big friends circle to get them next project, forward their resume to the new client, and ask their friends to conduct the interview for them in case the management finds and kicks them out of their current project.

Me Chart and its significance

2010-05-02T21:58:00.000-07:00

Me chart is a pictorial representation of one self, with short term and long term goals and ones mission in life. I learnt this concept from a Jaycees trainer, during a training session he want us to draw a Me chart, at that time i did not understand the significance of Me chart, i just created my Me chart and displayed him. He asked me to paste this chart on my house and wants me to look at it often many times in a day. I did paste on my house and started looking at it often, but never had much trust on this, time went on nothing happened, we vacated our house and moved to a new place (May 2005), i forget to paste my Me chart on my new house and i forget it once for all. I went to my native place, last month (Mar 2010), while cleaning my room i accidentally noticed my Me chart on my suite case and i opened it after five years, to my surprise i realized most of the things on my Me chart happened in my life and it continues to happen.
What is a Me chart?
Me chart hast four parts with only drawings or pictures on it without any single letter or character. Take a white chart and draw a horizontal and vertical line and split it into four quadrants, on the top left portion of the chart represent your name by drawing or pasting any picture, without using any single alphabet, on seeing the picture one should decipher your name, on the top right portion draw your short term goals without writing any letters, on the bottom left portion draw your long term goals in life and on the bottom right portion draw your mission in life, paste this chart were you look often and start looking at it everyday, i bet your dreams will come true within a short span of time. Have a try, it worked out for me, it should workout for you!

Things to know before starting from Chennai to USA

2010-01-16T20:59:00.000-08:00

First and foremost is to know car driving. Learn car driving at India itself and if possible get an International driving license. Its both time saving and cost effective.
Bring with you a flat pin adapter to charge you laptop and mobile. Here the round pin what we use to have doesn't fit into the plug points.
Keep your email id as short as possible. Here you have to provide your email id for each and every thing and you need to pronounce each and every letter of your email id (eg. In case you have a email id like umamaheswaran@yahoo.com then you have to pronounce like this "U as in umbrella, M as in Mango, A as in Apple, M as in Mango, A as in apple, H as in Henry, E as in Edward, S as in Sam, W as in Whale, A as in Apple, R as in Rock, A as in Apple, N as in Nancy").
If you have kids bring along with you all their medical prescriptions, immunization certificates, you need them for school admission and medical checkup.
It takes a minimum of one month to understand the US accent fully. Get used to US accent by watching some movie or TV shows.
Bring along with you, your subject books and technical books. Here books are more expensive.
Its better to have scanned soft copies of your certificates, passport and visa. Otherwise you have to search for a scanner or fax machine, every time you want to send a copy of them.
Switching job is not easy, like uploading resume on naukri.com and getting the interview call next day morning and getting the offer day after. Here some employer has to hold your work permit.
Take adequate tablets and medicine for fever, head ache and if you are wearing contact lenses, buy adequate stock at India itself. Here you cant buy lenses without prescription, also they are expensive.
Learn to cook in case you don't know how to. Indian restaurants may be far from your hotel.

Enjoy your trip!

தேடிச் சோறுநிதந் தின்று

தேடிச் சோறுநிதந் தின்று
பல சின்னஞ் சிறுகதைகள் பேசி
மனம் வாடித் துன்பமிக உழன்று
பிறர் வாடப் பல செயல்கள் செய்து
நரை கூடிப் கிழப்பருவம் எய்தி
கொடுங் கூற்றுக் கிரையெனப்பின் மாயும்
பல வேடிக்கை மனிதரைப் போலே
நான் வீழ்வே னென்று நினைத்தாயோ?

Beware of MLM guys at shopping MALS

2009-06-20T17:28:00.000-07:00

You will be shopping alone or with your family at a famous shopping MAL and most of the time discuss with your family in your mother tongue (TAMIL). All of a sudden, somebody coming into that aisle, will smile at you and start talking to you.
I am just translating the experience I had at one of the Indian Grocery store at California.
MLM guy: Oh you are Tamil? isit?
I : yeah I am from Chennai.
MLM guy: Which part of Chennai? Next question follows.
I: I am from Manapakkam.
MLM guy: Oh really? I am from Guindy! See how close we are?
MLM guy: When did you come to US?
I: I came here on January.
MLM guy: Where are you staying now? Here in SunnyVale.
I: Oh no, I am in San Roman.
MLM guy: Oh is it? I am going to San Roman now to meet my friend, Come let me give a ride to your home.
I: Oh Thank you sir, (I am happy, no need to go by bus right?)
MLM guy: Give me your contact number. I will add to my contact list.
I: Oh sure (I gave me number).

(Note that guy is not allowing me to talk and think, and keep on asking subsequent questions. Thats their skill)

He drops me at home and went, some days later, called me and said we are having a business meeting at San Roman this week Saturday at 6.30pm, can you join us? It will be helpful to you and your family.
I did not attend that meeting. The next day he called me and said we have been waiting for you and went to the meeting late. Its okay no problem, will let you know the next meeting schedule; please try to attend that, without fail. He keeps on disturbing me like that and I end up changing my mobile contract.
So beware of people, who are talking voluntarily to you at any Shopping mall, they are talking to you with some hidden agenda. They are trying to add you into their MLM network. They will force you even if you are not interested and keep on wasting you valuable time.

We can forgive people who have stolen our money but not the one trying to steel our TIME.

Traveling is a journey not only outer!

2009-04-02T22:27:00.000-07:00

Moving from one place to another for work gives us lot many trouble like packing, shifting and arranging, for these reason most of us do not want to shift from our comfort home. On the contrary, moving from one place to another teaches lot more lessons then one expect.

The place we just moved in would be entirely new to us, we are forced to meet new people, new challenges, we need to understand their culture, we have to learn the local language. Migration gives us fresh air to breath, new places to see and above all it attacks our ego at its very root.

When i first moved from my home town to Bangalore (High tech city), there was a huge difference in life style, work culture, calling seniors by name everything was new to me.

Now, when i move from my home Country to another country, everything is absolutely new. Right from my work to the community i live. Everyday there are new challenges, in those challenging situation i turn my attention towards GOD, towards my internal self, there would be an absolute surrender to the divine self, this surrender to the Self, gives the internal guidance and ability to face the challenges, and increases my faith in the divine self.

I feel traveling helps a person to evolve, make him versatile and above all shatters his ego and makes the person more humble, gives him an opportunity to remember and surrender to GOD, reinforces the connection between him and his divine Self.
