An engine is a mechanical device that produces some form of output from a given input. When the purpose of an engine is to produce mechanical power from a fuel source it is referred to as a prime mover;
The core of the engine is the cylinder, with the piston moving up and down inside the cylinder. The engine described above has one cylinder. That is typical of most lawn mowers, but most cars have more than one cylinder (four, six and eight cylinders are common). In a multi-cylinder engine, the cylinders usually are arranged in one of three ways: inline, V or flat (also known as horizontally opposed or boxer), as shown in the following figures.

JOB FAIR -UTTER DESPAIR!!!!!
The angst and agony just does n seem to have deserted me yet.That justifies me penning it a day later.No its not some kind of a relationship breakdown,nor an utterly disappointing flick.but strangely it was this job fair,(don know who coined that term for this utterly insane event ) that i woefully chose to attend in a nondescript college called Dhaanesh Ahmed in an equally nondescript place far out of the saner city limits amidst thick jungles.
Thankfully i had some wonderful friends who took me in a bike. but on the flip side it was this kind generosity that made me go there n tested my endurance.Equally ironical was the fact that we chose among all days this occasion to be punctual!!!(in accordance with murphys law i guess!!!)
So we reached there by 9 AM and were greeted by a loooong (don know how many 0's ll suffice) spiralling queue of faces that mirrored anxiety n anticipation.We were made to mercilessly stand under the scorching sun outside the gates for about two hours,this was inspite of the fact that there was ample space inside.Thankfully the rain gods spared us !!!Then we were allowed inside in the most haphazard manner ever possible. With all students makin a beeline for the entry , it was literally the survival of the fittest .Unfortunately i m not one among those macho bods around.!!!Then there was another literal carnage for the company chits ,which u need to have to write the tests. Though this rule was relaxed when they ran out of it.
After this epic struggle which would have made stalwarts like Gandhi and King proud, the test was a damp squib.Only quants n they claimed that the results would be mailed to us.the only consolation was a wonderful lunch with my wonderful friends and a new acquaintance.(guess that desrves a separate post)!!!!Yes it was a girl and unfortunately it din happen there.. So it was an utterly useless Saturday.
So the next time u come across a job fair ad, be wary of all these and please go thru blogs like these and decide well before embarking on ur journey ....VAZHGA AND VALARGA CAMPUS RECRUITMENT!!!!!

ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE!!!
Hi readers
Since this being my first , let me start with something thats really close to my heart.Movies.that might sound a bit frivolous for some but they have an integral hold on me,especially the old classic flicks from hollywoods golden era.Well, i do accept that they may seem anachronous to our times- where technology and graphic gimmickry have subverted the need to have a challenging script.So might be the values they exude, out of context in a modern day world where they are a mere synonym for illusion.
Movies like "its a wonderful life", "it happened one night" ,though utopian in content offer an escape from the sordid reality that we are being subjected to in our present times.They carry strong messages of the need for goodness in oneself and the power of reaching out to people in want.They carry an optimistic view of life unlike the cynical vision embarked on by its present day successors.
Its just a direct imagery of the legendary John Lennon's astounding single "Imagine". A world caught in a time warp with abounding goodness, amidst the terror and bloodshed that is hogging the headlines everyday.
So, i strongly recommend readers to go through the above movies and many more that exude happiness and make us realise that life is nothing but a funny , simple movie which you can never walk out alive.
