I am a member of the same team of Aces who have already given some impressive and shocking intros! I was one of those people who didn’t care about the final marks but still worried about it. And always being distracted by my ideas I would read for exams on the last days or in some cases last hours. I have a record of never finishing writing all the answers that I knew in the exams. I was jobless when I finished engineering, but one thing I never gave up was programming and designing in flash. And thanks to that I got a contract job in a company for a huge flash based project. I loved that project because it required not just the programming skills, but also creativity and imagination. It also taught me leadership, management and communication skills. And right now the same flash experience is helping me manage my expenses while studying.

When I was in school I wanted to be a scientist and i was planning to write a book about my inventions at that time. Later I decided to become a doctor for it is the most noble profession and I thought I could serve people. But I got admission into Computer Engineering instead (because I missed by one mark) where I met my best friends and my lovely life partner. However, I ended up becoming an artist when I realized what I should be doing with my skills, what job will be more fun and what will help me do what I want to do in life. Over the time, I have found that I love working on anything that has a scope of creativity and imagination. It can be a software program (especially GUI/Architecture) or music or animation or a mathematics problem. I chose animation not just because it’s magical and cool by itself, but also because I know it will teach me what I need to learn in life and it will help me open up my imagination to understand not just myself but others as well.

My ultimate goal in life is to conquer my mind.

Oh! I just realized today is 08-08-08. And the time right now is 08:08:08 pm (EDT)

Here I come, Jigar Contractor (Jagira). I did my BE in Computer Engineering from Nirma institute of technology and now I am about to start my MS in Computer and Information Science from Temple University, Philadelphia.

I have been working in software industry since 2004. Major areas, I have explored so far are Digital Cable Television and Casino Gaming/Accounting System. I am not good at specific thing but I do my level best at everything that I have to do. Though I am the person with no aim in life, I always wanted to see myself end up doing something innovative and interesting. About success in life, I believe that “Success is Jorney not Destination“.

About the creation behind the “Silent Ideas”, I would like to refresh following quote from “Swami Vivekanand”.

“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.“

                                                                   – Swami Vivekanand

This is what the “Silent Ideas” may end up proving in future.

I am personally very much angry and stubborn in nature, however for friends and family I can leave everything aside. I may be shooting so many “hathodas” on this blog, please forgive me if they are not sustainable. This one might be a good example of it .

Hi Guys/Gals,

Myself Nirav aka Bhagat, did my B.E. in Computers from Nirma Institute of Technology. One of my quality/habit (good/bad) is laughing… I get immense pleasure in laughing and making others laugh. Recently I and my wife Darshana were blessed with BOY - JANMESH…So entered a new phase of life with extra i mean too much of responsibility. Thats all about my personal life…Moving onto Proffessional.. I am into software development/design specifically for Mobile handset and have worked on almost all the Mobile handsets (not all though, iPhone is missing in that list).

One and only motto of life is…”JALSA Kar (dont worrry about the result, do your karma)” and for me Jalsa is work and work is jalsa. I love watching movies, long drives, thrilling rides(Six-Flags, Vallejo,CA) and foremost is harassing people. At some point in fact currently also…people sometimes dont believe me what I am saying…

Thats it folks…rest everyone knows…and can post your queries..which I wont Answer…hahahahah…

Happy friendship Day to all!!!

I am Bhagwati Prasad Maheshwari, quite a long name, but people call me Bhagwati or Bhags. People in US call me “Baugwhati” :). This is my first blog. I have read many blogs and wanted to write one day myself, but always came up with the excuse that I dont have enough time to do so. With Silent Ideas being born, I can give it a try and stop being lazy, hopefully .

I am a computer graduate from Nirma Institue of Technology, India. I am currently working as a Senior Project Engineer in a software company in Florida. I love challenges, love watching and playing Cricket, love travelling. Reading books is a favorite pastime too. I love to interact with different people and share ideas and thoughts - not on technical concepts, but things which are related to culture, society and traditions.

Enough of this introduction - I had an interesting conversation a week back and wanted to share with you guys. I am currently working in Philadelphia for a client of mine. One of my client colleagues came to know that I am getting married. She came up to me and asked would it be a big wedding? I said yes. She said, “How many elephants?” I did not know how to react and started laughing. I said there will be no elephants in the wedding. She said, “Oh, so it’s not a big wedding”. I said what you see in movies, is not true…I dont know which movie she saw, but I did explain, we do come on horses though for the wedding. It was interesting to see different perceptions about Indian culture. She had seen Bollywood movies and was telling me and the other American guy that there is only one theme - the guy chases the girl in a garden full of trees, they fall in love. The guy comes forward to kiss the girl, the girl runs for the other tree or the movies shows 2 birds kissing. It was funny to hear all this, but she was right. These were the bollywood movies, I guess some 7 or 10 years back. We have moved on and there are better movies being made. She though enjoyed “Monsoon Wedding” a lot.

Though I am into technical field, I am more intrigued by social, cultural things. Silent ideas would be silent debates about these topics in my blogs…will see you soon in my next post, till then your comments are always welcome…

I am Tushar Dave,

Computer Engineer/Researcher land into machine world in 2ooo. Hacking and Tinkering (’sometimes destroying’) machines to understand mechanics behind ‘em and moreover, to get best out of ‘em is what I do/think almost every time. After graduating from Nirma Institute of Technology, I stepped into embedded field and created my first footprint as Software/System Engineer where I worked on Biometric systems for a year. Gradually the passion and desire for revealing obscure world inside black boxes became more furious hence I stepped forward to higher studies and enrolled into CSUS (California State University, Sacramento) for MS. During this time I worked extensively on operating systems, embedded (‘intelligent’) systems, and networking. Currently I work for a company and do all fun stuff ranging from writing device driver to hacking kernel – From debugging bugs to sharing “silent ideas”

I love to stay in lab till late night especially during weekends. I tend to be in workout center during free hours, (It pumps tremendous confidence in me while I pump muscles). In addition, I like to travel, have dream to travel the entire world. I do shooting and hiking for adventure. Apart from all these, sometimes I sing and continue singing until my neighbor start knocking on common wall

Designer Engineer Programmer Researcher Wit

I am Kumar Ahir.

Done my graduation in Computer Engineering from Nirma Institute of Technology and then went to taste the work in Industry. I worked as a Software Engineer at Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. for two years during which I came across varied technology platforms and managerial experiences and encounters. I learnt project management and technology adoption and adaptation from the grass root for a project. During my stay in Industry I realized that there is a dire need to understand a term called “Design”. And then began my journey as a designer. I did my Master of Design specializing in Interaction Design from Industrial Design Centre, IIT Bombay (one of the most reputed design institutes across world). My focus hence shifted from just making a good optimal system to user centered good optimal system for the end users.

My interests lies in designing new systems and applications and working to make it possible. Well I do trek and scribble and shoot (photographs). In my leisure I like to take doodle with small naps in between which takes me in dream world where I see what I am supposed to do
