Radio is one of the most common forms of entertainment in the world. A week cannot go by without someone in your family turning the radio on. Did you ever know that you can broadcast radio instead of just being a listener? <\/p>
That is what a scientific activity amateur radio aka HAM radio is all about. Amateur radio operators aka HAMs communicate with each other over a wide frequency spectrum (radio spectrum) using many different types of wireless transmitting modes like text, morse code, voice, image, etc. When all other services fail HAMs can swing into action assisting emergency communication service during times of emergency. <\/p>
\"In a time when internet and social media didn't exist, HAM was the way one could go about networking internationally,\" says NIAR Executive Vice Chairman & Director Ram Mohan Suri who has been a HAM for more than 30 years now, having received his licence at the age of 14. \u201cFor me, HAM runs in my family as my father founded the National Institute of Amateur Radio (NIAR). When I first received my licence, I used to communicate with many HAMs across the world and this made me explore a lot in the field of communications,\" shares Mr Suri.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1562915889448","data":"5d2862b4a8b48"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1562915889447","data":"
\"Learning the amateur radio at a tender age will help children to develop communication skills, technical experimentation in the field of wireless communication, understand the techniques of voice, data, digital, image and satellite communications,\" says Mr Suri who conducts a lot of workshops to promote amateur radio, talking about the examination he also adds \"trained students would have to clear a written examination for getting a license which will be issued by Centre\u2019s Department of Telecommunications to operate HAM radio.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1562915889444","data":"5d2837d8e855d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1562915889445","data":"

\" You should have a story when you complete your degree!\", says Srinivas Aluvala ( CSE HOD- SREC). <\/b>What's the story not college stories! Eager to know... here is a small conversation regarding with HOD of CSE department.<\/p>
Qualifications and career:<\/b><\/p>
Sir has done his schooling in the government school (HNK) and later completed his intermediate from Govt. Junior College (HNK). Then, he did BSC Mathematics in KDC(Kakatiya Degree College). In 2002, he joined MCA (Master of Computer Application) in Tushara PG School of Information and Science (Rampur - Kazipet, Hanamkonda) and completed in 2006. In 2007, he started his career in SR as an Asst. Professor in dept. of MCA(Master of Computer Application) and even served for CSE. From 2014, he was totally shifted to CSE and worked as an Asst. Professor till 2017. In 2017, he was appointed as Head of Department(HOD) of Computer Science Engineering department. <\/p>
Now let's come to the point... Have a story when you complete your degree!<\/b><\/p>
Sir says<\/b>, \"Having your own story is very important as it would be the proof of your struggle. These stories give good weightage to your resume and thus your resume will be lying on the recruiter's table rather than in the dustbin. From the 1st year, I have done this, in the 2nd year I have completed this technical course and done this, the 3rd year I have done this project by putting all my innovation creativity in it. These should be your stories revealed to the HR's when you face interviews then definitely the success will be your's!\"<\/p>
Academics+Other internships or creative projects in SRIX<\/b>... It looks great to hear... but when comes to the execution - it seems like unable to balance both<\/b>. So with this question in my mind, I asked how to manage time?<\/b><\/p>
Sir says,\" As students, you are capable of doing everything. There is no question of time! As an engineering student when you come to college from 9:30 Am to 4:00 pm, completely dedicate time to listen to the classes and practice at least 1 or 2 hours - more than enough to get a distinction. Marks are only filtering criteria by industries. Percentages are neither criteria to judge or measure one's talent. Then what's your talent! Show me your talent in terms of professionalism. Do something different. Apply whatever technical things you have learned in terms of creative projects. That's what makes the difference! That's what makes you distinct in a cluster. That's what the talent. If you aim big and truly dedicated, you can manage the whole stuff.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1562759839315","data":"
Srinivas sir even says, \" I know better about the mentalities of the students. <\/b>Because I have even seen students right studying their schooling. While I was in my degree and PG, I used to teach Physical Science, Maths, Computers to school children(5th-10th classes). So, I know what's their psychology. Maybe some faculty have not experienced school children but I did. Students at that age will be really good. Though they may not be too fast to grab things, their eagerness and excitement are really appreciable! But, as they grow they are losing all that spirit. A student should always be a studious and explorer as he was at his schooling.\" You are growing! You should grow all those qualities! competency should increase!<\/p>
By hearing all his words, I was like truly... remembering my school days... how actively I used to participate and learn... When sir was questioning me like, In your school days did you repeatedly quarreled with your teacher even for 1 mark? Did you work hard rigorously to secure those so-called 1st rank and 2nd ranks? Yes right! I think everyone would agree with me. That curiosity! That zeal to learn! should even be continued throughout our whole career, no matter what we are pursuing. That's what I have learned.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1562759839316","data":"
Sir thoughts and suggestions to students regarding programming skills:<\/b><\/p>
I would say whatever programs you are learning... if I give the same thing to a 7th standard students... they will be able to solve or I can say that they can mug up in a better way! So here the point is that don't mug up the programs- understand the concepts, key up the logic and work practically. <\/b>Nowadays due to the boon of the internet, learning has become easier. Everyone says - \"I know Java, I know python\"... But, how come you are able to solve and complete a full-fledged project by applying those skills you have learned! <\/p>
So I would strongly suggest applying the things that you have learned in real time is a good idea. Because it gives a better and deep understanding of the technologies and helps in enhancing your skills. Active participation in different competitions like Smart India Hackathons, Abhivyakta... really would help in enhancing skills and those all the things that would actually be your stories.<\/p>
At last, again I would strongly stress that You should have a story when you complete your degree! <\/b><\/p>
That's what real achievement! The real Satisfaction! Ultimately the real joy!<\/b><\/p>

Since the holiday season is at its end and college is going to be back in full swing in a few days (if it already isn\u2019t), I thought it might be helpful to give a few tips for a better college experience and an overall lesser stress quotient.<\/p>
College can be stressful with all the assignments, notes, labs, extra-credits and workshops, leaving less to no time for relaxing, fun, a social life and hobbies.<\/p>
So the following are the many ways and apps that can help in keeping assignments and dead-lines in order and also help keep work up-to-date.<\/p>
Planners\/Study logs:<\/b> These help in keeping the work in check and the timeline in which it needs to be completed in. Planners can be in the form of a book or an app, where the amount of work done can be recorded with the timeline of all the assignments and the submission dates. And most also have a place to save your time-table which always comes in handy.<\/p>
Habit trackers:<\/b> These help in keeping track of how much time is spent on what. This in turn help in time management and for keeping things on schedule and on track.<\/p>
Question papers:<\/b> There are a lot of apps for previous question papers that help in exam preparation and to give an idea about how to go about writing the actual paper.<\/p>
Instagram:<\/b> There are many accounts that give tips for studying and exams. They also have motivational posts to give a bit of inspiration when needed.<\/p>
Podcasts:<\/b> There are a lot of podcasts that have a lot for motivation and inspirational content when you feel a bit down.<\/p>
Blogs: <\/b>Following blog that post content for your field helps in staying up to date and in touch with the innovations and the new things that come up.<\/p>
Internships app:<\/b> one of the most important things about the full college experience is working in an internship. Having an app for this helps to see what the employer wants and the skills needed for a job.<\/p>
<\/p>
Tips:<\/p>
Plan your assignments and schedule study sessions. Limit the studying time to 45 minutes with a 15 minute break. \n<\/p>
Pace your work and give enough time for relaxing, finish say 5 questions of an assignment per day and skim the days notes for half-an-hour.<\/p>
Completing the assigned work in the set time help to save time in the end of semester to study. \nDon't forget to exercise at least thrice a week to stay focused and fit. \n<\/p>
Meditation helps concentrate and unwind. It also helps in improving memory and performance.<\/p>
Keep a reflection time for 20 minutes or so, before you sleep to reflect on what happened today and what needed to be done the next day.<\/p>
Finish the work at least a day before the submission date so that you can scan for any missing items and add them before handing it in.<\/p>
Don't over work and exhaust yourself, getting good sleep and rest is also important in remembering better and having better mental health.<\/p>

It was a random Facebook post by Sriram Karri that triggered the thought process that led to me writing this now. The post spoke about how many people are grieving the closure of Walden, a popular book store, without having bought a book there in ages. Having grown up in the Old City of Hyderabad in the 90s, Walden was the only proper bookstore apart from the Sunday market at Abids and it was almost as if I went to a different city altogether the few times I visited the place.<\/p>
What Sriram posted is absolutely true and more so when it comes to students of the late 2010s. Most of the students now don\u2019t bother picking up a book to read, going to a classic bookstore to browse through endless rows of books is perhaps something most students today have never done. Even the few ones who read, prefer buying online. That said, what is it that makes students run in the opposite direction when it comes to reading?<\/p>
I feel it is because of a system that focuses on testing a student\u2019s memory rather than a student\u2019s learning and a system that puts emphasis on studying instead of reading, that we have an entire generation of students who seem to loathe reading. In some countries, there is extensive emphasis on inculcating a habit of reading right from the early years of schooling. Should a system like that be put in place in our country? I can just wonder.<\/p>
Whatever I am today is only because of the knowledge I acquired by reading whatever I could get my hands on. I didn\u2019t go to an elite school, I didn\u2019t go to a top college, I didn\u2019t do an MBA. What I am today, as the CEO of a student oriented startup, as a person featured in Forbes, as a known speaker and more, has been possible only because I read extensively. I just devoured books and newspapers, whether it was a Reader\u2019s Digest or an editorial in The Hindu or biographies of eminent people or self-help books. I read them all and that is what I suggest to a student of this day.<\/p>
With that, here\u2019s a list of my favorite books that every student should read:<\/p>
You Can Win by Shiv Khera - Buy Now<\/a><\/p>Shoe Dog by Phil Knight - Buy Now<\/a><\/p>Zero to One by Peter Theil - Buy Now<\/a><\/p>Art of War by Sun Tzu - Buy Now<\/a><\/p>"}]

The modern computer science world is filled with programming languages like C, C++, Java and now the most popular language Python. Many of the CS students or enthusiasts always keep buzzing about these so called most common or familiar programming languages. But, being a CS guy myself, I was shell shocked to know that two programming languages now in their 60's still continue to play a key role in running many real life proceedings and to be precise there are two old, in fact two very old programming languages that still continue to exist even with this amount of technological advancement. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1563028970916","data":"
Let me bring down the curtains, FORTRAN and COBOL are the programming languages that I was talking about. So, how did I come to know about them in the first place. There are two instances that led me to this article, the first was when a university professor from USA was taking a guest session for us. At the end of all the fancy talk about abroad studies and technologies like AI, the professor asked us whether we know anything about COBOL, like most of the modern CS students we had that null expression on our faces, other than just going through that name in some book or so we have no clue of what it meant. He just gave us a smile followed by a very brief info about it. After the session, I tried doing a bit of research but the so-called ignorance struck and I never went deeper to know more about it. The second time I heard that name is from an uncle of mine. This time I felt like it's better to know more about this not-much spoken about programming language. He gave me great info that let me to dig up more details about COBOL online, and that's exactly when I was amused to know about this language and also about it's vintage companion FORTRAN that is still out there. So, what exactly are these languages and why are they not extinct yet? <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1563028970921","data":"5d2a0d454a65b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1563028970917","data":"
FORTRAN<\/b>, which stands for FORmula TRANslation was designed by John Backus in 1957. The language turned out be a savior to programmers and other qualified people who spent many painstaking hours of coding with machine level or assembly level language. FORTRAN, termed as the higher level programming language took off to a huge success. It became extremely useful for researchers who are in need of performing complicated numerical and scientific calculations. They even found it easy as this language didn't demand any high end programming skills. The existence of this language even after 62 years is mainly due to the release of updated versions as the years passed by and the other important factor being it's feature of parallel computing. The language continues to be used for astronomical purposes, research in the fields of science and so on.<\/p>
COBOL<\/b>, which stands for COmmon Business Oriented Language was designed by CODASYL in 1959. Straight after it's design, COBOL has been incorporated in to many banks mainframe as they were in need for a sophisticated mainframe technology. That's where COBOL started becoming the backbone of all the financial operations and managing banks were dealing with. According to many sources, even now many reputed and very crucial banks have COBOL as their mainframe and changing their roots of managing from COBOL to the latest languages cannot happen overnight and it is ridiculously high price issue to alter their methodologies from roots. So, it is kinda clear that COBOL cannot be replaced that easily ensuring a secure future of existence and also a growing need for young COBOL developers makes it a promising career choice as well. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1563028970919","data":"5d2a0b0c139d8"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1563028970920","data":"5d2a0ccf37910"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1563028970918","data":"

\"Creativity requires input, and that's what research is!\", <\/b>says Dr. P.Sammaiah <\/b>(HOD of Mechanical Engineering Department - SREC). Everyone has a turning point in their career... For Sammaiah sir entering into the field of research was his turning point.<\/p>
Research! seems interesting... With the ease to know about that shift of interest...<\/p>
I asked, \"Sir, By whom were you inspired to cope up with projects regarding research?\"<\/b><\/p>
A: Actually not like sort of inspiration but, (gesture: laughing) I was pushed into that field by my guide. He is the one who forced indeed! Later I recognized the importance of it and felt thankful. I would say that he is my role model... my guide... actually my real guru who changed my entire attitude towards research. He is now the great director of the Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory - DRDO. He helped me a lot in doing my M tech project in Defence metallurgical research laboratory. And under his guidance, I have written many proposals and got the chance to present my project and gained appreciation from NASA president. I even published 67 articles in different journals and submitted 5 patents. Later on, based on my experience- I have written 2 books on Engineering Technology. I could proudly say that I am a student of such a great person!<\/p>

He told, \"My career at first started as an Asst. Professor in VRK College of Engineering, Jagithyala. Later I heard about the open interviews being held in SR to recruit. I curiously attended and got selected and was directly appointed as HOD of Mechanical Engineering department in 2005. Such trust in me has always encouraged me in every aspect! \"<\/p>
Teaching is the best profession! Sammaiah sir says, \" I enjoy teaching and motivating students. Thus, whatever positions I lead till now, teaching students always rejoice me!\"<\/p>
So, I asked to share his experiences regarding his teaching days.<\/b><\/p>
(gesture: Laughing) Truly handling students of Mechanical Engineering was very difficult for me at the start. It used to be like a big challenge for me to teach and train them. But patiently, I handled things by motivating them. My classes used to be more interactive ones rather than totally subjective. As I am mostly connected to DRDO scientists, I used to share their profiles in the class as live examples and used to tell how they dedicated to their work and achieved success. <\/p>
Regarding projects being developed by SREC students, Sammaiah sir says<\/b>, \" Students should apply in real time all those they learn in their engineering and should serve their prior responsibility. SREC students in this aspect are very active and even college is supporting them and encouraging them. Even I guided many students in doing projects with my research experience. Somehow the other even I got to learn many new things from them. One of my student Arun Reddy did a project under my guidance on strengthening the roads - One of the polymer material is discovered to be added to the thor to strengthen the roads. So this is one example.\"<\/p>
Motivating the whole staff is also important apart! <\/b>Let's see how Sammaiah sir does this?<\/p>
\"Staff... Having experienced in that field, I know their mentality and what do they expect. So, I never regret them and always support them.\" The faculty of Mechanical department is truly talented enough and our unity on a whole is wonderful and is the only reason behind my successful career as a HOD. When comes to motivation, I will always be supporting them and even help in handling the issues. <\/p>

At last, how would you like to see the college in the next few years?<\/b> <\/p>
\nIn these many years of my service, I have never seen such a good supportive college. A special bond has been created with this college. The whole team of SREC is hardworking nature. Our only goal is that our students must get settled. So, I would like to see the fame of SREC spread all over and our students get benefited and crack their goals.\n\nThus, this is a small talk that we had with the HOD (Mechanical Dept. SREC). Hope it's inspiring :)<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1562762088469","data":"5d28cda28d213"}]
Among all the instruments in Carnatic music, Veena is perhaps one of the instruments requiring a high level of skill and considering its size and shape, it is mesmerising to see a Veena player gracefully holding it while plucking the strings and making intricate ragas emanate from the instrument. However, K.D.B. Madhavi, a Hyderabadi Veena player is also known for playing film songs, western compositions and even Hollywood movie soundtracks. This 21-year-old musician with over 150 shows to her credit is known for her soulful fusion compositions in her concerts. <\/p>
\n\nHaving started off learning carnatic vocal music at a tender age of 6 because of her music loving parents, she later picked the Veena up, as she shares, \u201cMy parents love music and when I started humming songs when I could barely speak, they realised I\u2019m inclined towards music and when the time came, they enrolled me in classes. I learnt singing for a few months but later felt I should pick up an instrument after seeing my mom play the Veena and that\u2019s how I started learning the Veena from D. Lakshmi Tulasi garu. It was through her consistent encouragement that I was able to grasp the nuances of this complex instrument .\u201d<\/p>
\n\n\nA few years later, through a reality show conducted by a TV channel for instrumental musicians, she turned towards fusion music \u201cIn the selection rounds and later rounds, I was asked to play film songs on the Veena. That was when I started attempting to play songs that I heard, on the Veena. The fact that I learnt the basics of music twice (for vocal and for the Veena) helped me a lot as I had a strong base to go ahead with and I could easily play by-the-ear and improvise,\u201d says the musician who graduated from VBIT. <\/p>
\n\nPlaying by-the-ear is how she was able to play a lot of different genres on the instrument. \u201cWhenever I listen to a song for the first time, I instantly feel like playing it on the Veena and that is how I feel I got into fusion even after the reality show,\u201d says Madhavi who is known for playing popular soundtracks from Pirates of Carribbean, Harry Potter and more to captivate her audiences at her concerts. <\/p>
\n\nThe best part of fusion, according to her, is the freedom that one has in fusion music, as she explains, \u201cThe freedom of fusion is why I love playing live as opposed to making videos to put on the internet as I can improvise live and play it slightly differently each time, challenging myself and also entertaining my audiences.\u201d<\/p>
\n\nHowever, it hasn\u2019t been entirely smooth for her as she has faced criticism for her choice of music. \u201cI am constantly asked why I play western music or film songs on the Veena. I believe music is music irrespective of the genre and in fact, it is highly challenging to play different genres on this instrument while retaining the same beauty. It is challenging because the original tracks are usually loved by many and I have to do justice to that. I enjoy the challenge and it helps me overcome the criticism,\u201d explains Madhavi, who has taken part and secured the top slots in many state and national level music competitions and has also been a recipient of the highly prestigious Indian Raga Fellowship.<\/p>
\n\n\nShe is currently pursuing her Master\u2019s in music and plans to do a lot of fusion concerts in the near future. \n\n <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1562928817078","data":"5d28698d26e88"}]
