~ ^ * ^ ~ Tsunami relief efforts ~ ^ * ^ ~

One of my friends is going to Tsunami affected area called Nagapaatinam. I with some other friends collected 4 huge bags of cloths, blankets etc and contacted about 25 houses to prepare chapatis. We arranged for arround 500 - 600 Chapatis.

Had gone to Three Quarters, Chinese for the team Lunch. It crowded like hell.. but food was good.
One snap taken there:

* * Friend was there * *

One of my colleagues, from chennai was in Chennai yesterday when Tsunami
hit Chennai beach. He said, he was in deep sleep when Monster hit the
coast, ( uff very bad... lazy boy.. sleeping till 7:30 ??? ). His mom felt
that she was going in hectic train in her dreams. (Aunty bad too ..
sleeping till 7:30 ?? hmm ). After a major wobbling she got up and woke
this guy up. Every one realized its an earth quake..... Oh my God.. run run
run ... All vacated the apartment complex towards the street. Stayed there
for 30 min then got back in. Then he said, he went near Marina beach to see
the tragedy.. Many people are missing... I am feeling vey bad :(

Octa means 8The word Octa is derived from Sanskrit word 'Ashta' which means 8. :)
Let me try to comment on october, which is supposed to be 10th month of the year.

Septa, meaning 7 ( derived from sanskrit Sapta), So September means 7th month
Octa, meaning 8 ( derived from sanskrit Ashta),So October means 8th month
Novem, meaning 9 ( derived from sanskrit Nava)So November means 9th month
Deca, meaning 10 ( derived from sanskrit Dasha)So December means 10th month

Having this logic continued Jan and Feb will be 11th and 12th month respectively. This means March will be First month. But somehow, in the history, this convention of starting the year from March has been changed to Jan. Actually Indian Calendar starts from around Mid March. Also even today Financial Year in India starts from March.

~*~ CSQA ~*~

Ufffff ... its all over..

I took an a certification exam.. It's CSQA ( Certified Software Quality Analysist) conducted by QAI (Quality Assurance Institute). It was a tough exam. It required me to sit and study a 300 page book called CBOK. I had taken a week's vacation for the exam. Exam contained 4 papers, 2 objectives and 2 subjective papers. 3 papers were easy. The last one was little tough. Somehow I finished it.. :))
