How to avoid nervous breakdown during exams ???

Most of us often get tensed and get on to our nerves during exams. The exams may be of a school level or a competitive exam, which might decide one’s job and future also. Getting nervous during the exams makes the situation even worst. Lacks of preparation, anxious about the results, not being in the exam hall in time are the common reason for the nervous breakdown.

Let’s see what all we can do to avoid it

Preparing from the first day...

It may be any kind of examination, but we will be having a gap of at least 4-6 months minimum from the day we take the exam to the actual examination day.

Rather than working our back off on the last moments, from the day 1 , if we spend a specific amount of quality time. We will be able to complete the portion sooner than we expected.

Studying daily at starting few days may be a tough task. When you make it as a routine, as days go on, even if you’re doing any other activities, your mind will drag you to study. In other words, your activity turns into habit. This can be the biggest advantage when you’re studying.

Doing exercises and a regular routine of physical activities.

“All work and no play, makes jack a dull boy”... These lines just cannot be denied. To focus and concentrate your body should allow you to do so. You need more strength to study for more time. If you won’t involve in any physical activity and just keep sitting with books. You will start feeling your muscles being dull and you feel lazy to do anything, which in the worst case you can turn lazy on your studies also. By adding physical activities in your routine, you can relax yourself, you will be stress free, healthy and your concentration increases.

Avoid anxiety

Framing goals is good. But, they have to be proper and definite. Aiming to get good mars is not at all bad, but aiming to get cent % will definitely lead to stairs of downfall. One should come out of “what if’s fantasy first.

What if I read well and won’t score well?

What if the paper is too tough to crack?

What if others score more than me?

What if I won’t get a job?

Rather than answering to the question which appear on the paper, these questions can screw your confidence and everything. Before even trying to make the attempt, thinking of a failure is disgraceful.

Time Table

“If you’re are failing to plan, then you’re planning to fail”. Planning is the first good step towards the exams. Dividing time for the respective subjects, topics etc., is very much important.

If you are good at mathematics and if u keep on solving the problems for the whole day, you are just making fool out of yourself. That is not an efficient way of studying. Dividing the study time equally for each subject, allotting more time for the topic, which u find hard, makes you balanced.

Taking tests in regular interval

Testing our preparation is a key factor before attempting an examination. By facing tests, we will come to know how much we remember, what are the topics we need to focus more?  if you’ve done wrong, you can rectify it before appearing in the examination.

Stop comparing with others

The worst culture in most of the people is comparing. He is the topper; I’m just an above average guy. It can turn bad for the both kind of people. For those who look others as superior, it can destroy the confidence within u. if you are having better marks than your previous attempt you have succeeded and you have every reason to celebrate it.

In the same case, the ones who look others as inferior should be more careful. You may be the topper of ur school or universities. When you are going for the higher level, you will meet the same level of yours, indeed most of them will be better than you.

So, you need to keep preparing and never give up on ur faith and marks.

Be happy with your efforts. When your efforts are sincere, then the results will make u smile. Believe in yourself. Never fear to attempt.

Open Android and Google’s Android ...

The significant dissimilarity that many appear to ignore or they are acknowledging now: Android is an open source. Any person can freely use the open source code to create an Android build and run it on any piece of hardware. If I wanted to implement android platform on an old phone or tablet assuming that, I knew how to do it – I could. So can you. This is exactly what handset makers in china have been doing. Taking the freely available AOSP, or Android Open Source Project, code and selling phones that run on it.

Amazon has been doing this for a few years till date. That Amazon Kindle Fire tablet runs the freely available version of Android. Amazon has built its own interface on top of Android and its own apps as well. We can browse the web with the Silk browser or check our Gmail with the Kindle email app.

But android phones, tablets or the open source android products cannot run Google’s own suite of apps, unless they are licensed. That means paying Google a fee for Gmail, Google Maps, Google Calendar and access to the Google Play Store. It also means that Google has authority over what devices can have such access through licensing. In other words, it can set minimum device requirements for licensing. Amazon is a perfect example of a company choosing not to license Google’s apps so it enjoys total freedom for its hardware design.

Let’s have a look at the software licensing. In the manner how Google licenses its mobile apps, Microsoft licenses Windows and Windows phone. Microsoft is paid by the companies to put the software on their devices. And Microsoft has minimum requirements for each, just as Google does.  We cannot run Windows Phone 8 on a device with a core processor.Microsoft requires a dual-core chip. The handset must have a GPS radio and a minimum of 512 MB of memory as well.

The reason for Microsoft to do this is identical as Google’s. To create a minimum common hardware denominator that guarantees a certain user experience. If Microsoft were to let budget handset makers put windows phone on cast-off hardware, it would make windows phone itself look like junk.

Android has indeed been open since 2008. And Google has had a licensing program for its android apps since that time. The program may have changed over time as the market matured, but that is to be expected. The major concern now is that reported details of Google Android app licensing is showing up. With irrespective of the reasons, many think that android is not an open source.

In 2010, mobile location company Skyhook accused Google over four patents and claimed that Google was not contending fairly by trying to push its own Wi-Fi location services on hardware partners. Internal documents later emerged showing that a Wi-Fi location database was integral to Google’s own Android strategy.

While incidents such as these do little to answer the question of Google’s own openness, the fact remains that Android itself is open to those who wish to build their own smart phones, tablets, watches or other devices.

Alaindair -The New King of Game of Kings !!!

Alaindair, a new charismatic star for all equine fans in country. He is a fantastic foal of new freshmen sire, Multidiminensional. Usha stud farms have every reason to party throughout a week to have such a stallion and a foal which will be remembered for many years, for his Derby winning run at Mahalakshmi Race Course.

Being the significant and highest stake trophy in Indian Racing, Mumbai Derby has been one of the huge bounty, which all the trainers, jockeys and owners want to be recognized with.

A pack of 15 runners from all over India participated in the derby race. Being unbeaten in the Mumbai race track, Murioi was considered as the favorite to win the cup.

Isn’t she special was the one to lead all the runners, where Srinath on top of Alaindair settled on inside of the railings. Alaindair, who cantered along the rails all the way, he was directed to outside and at the seizing moment, jockey Y S Srinath made his path clear and started riding aggressively. With cadenced directions and proper use of whalebone, Srinath made the gelding to be a big bounty hunter.

 In the final 400mts Murioi was loosened up from the hands of C D Hayes, It seemed like Murioi was heading for the post too earlier. Srinath had been correct and his decision of acting foxy in this game proved to be conclusive.

Alaindair not only won comfortably, but also set a new course record by clocking the fastest time ever on the turf – 2:28:05 bettering wonder filly Jacqueline’s timings. Y S Srinath also broke the streak of foreign jockeys winning the Indian derby from past seven years.

Alaindair has promoted trainer Altamash Ahmed into the big league. Alaindair has won Bangalore colts, the kingfisher derby Bangalore 2013 and now the McDowell signature Indian derby, the highest honor in Indian racing.

Alaindair’s owners Dr Nevil R Devalaliwalla, Miss Ameeta Mehra and Mr Gaurav Sethi proudly received the Golden “Man on Horse” trophy, which valued  Rs 150,000/- presented by the United Spirits Limited along with the winner’s stakes almost 2 crore.

It gave the taste of Mumbai derby for the first time to all the crew linked with Alaindair. Jockey Y S Srinath, got his first Mumbai derby Success after waiting a long time.

 Trainer Altamash Ahmed was pleased to join in the elite group of trainers who have won Indian Derby.

Manipal to Microsoft : Satya Nadella

The Tech Hulk Microsoft is in the saddle to name Indian-born Satya Nadella as new Chief Executive Officer, crowning the couple of months search for present CEO Steve Ballmer’s stand in. Currently, He is the executive vice president of Microsoft’s Cloud and Enterprise group, responsible for building and running the company’s computing platforms and cloud services.

Nadella’s father was an Indian Administrative Service officer, B.N.Yugandhar, who was a member of the Planning Commission under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

 He got his Bachelor’s degree from the Manipal University, Karnataka. After moving to US, he earned his master’s in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Chicago Booth School Of Business.

Nadella has played vital role in bringing some of Microsoft’s most popular technologies, like its database, Windows server and developer tools, to the cloud, called Azure.

Nadella also helped Microsoft bring a cloud version of Microsoft Office to the cloud, Office 365. Microsoft says Office 365 one of its fastest growing products ever. Nadella, if he emerges as the chosen one, would be the only third CEO in Microsoft’s history after Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer.

As president of Microsoft’s server business, Nadella boosted revenue to $20.3 billion in the fiscal year through June, up from $16.6 billion when he took over in 2011. That unit became cloud and enterprise when Ballmer restored Microsoft’s structure in July to focus the company on devices and services.

The Microsoft Hyderabad development center campus is the corporation’s biggest facility outside the U.S. and the first one in India. We cannot just neglect the role of Satya Nadella, in this outstanding step of Microsoft in India.

 He is well-regarded as an energetic, visionary top-level executive. He also has an advantage as an insider, that he completely understands Microsoft’s complex culture and layout, likely to be aware of its weak points as well.
