Talent Genie Wows Again

The Talent Genie Programme at College of Applied Sciences, Vadakkancherry was roaring success. IPSR received a great reception at the college and it has been the best Talent Genie programme so far in terms of audience participation.
The college is lucky to have the multi-talented Pradip Somasundaran as Principal. A playback singer of great repute (Check out his blog), he made us all feel special with his warmth and hospitality. The HOD of the Computer Science Department, Begi K. Mathew deserves special credit for arranging the smooth running of the programme.
The College of Applied Sciences, Vadakkancherry is Govt. of Kerala Undertaking (Managed by IHRD) affiliated to the University of Calicut. The college nurtures a talented lot and this was evident in the students’ performance in the impromptu quiz conducted by IPSR CEO, Dr. Mendus Jacob. Some students like Vino Jose, Sajan P.S. and Sunil S. were knowledgeable enough to answer multiple questions.
Vino Jose is a B.Sc Electronics student and interested in Networking. He likes to keep abreast with the latest developments in IT. Sajan P.S is interested in Networking. His hobbies are chatting and music. Sunil S. is interested in IT related projects. All three are final year students.
The Computer Science Department Students have a website, bdonor.com that promotes blood donorship.

Talent Genie Makes an Impression

The huge turnout at the IPSR Kottayam auditorium on December 10th2009 alone was a testimony for the popularity of the programme, Talent Genie. The audience sat with rapt attention as they listened to IPSR CEO Dr. Mendus Jacob talk about Changing Trends in the IT Industry and Job Opportunities. Three students from the audience got the prestigious Redhat Caps for participating in an impromptu Quiz. They are Nadir Shah from Model Polytechnic College, Poonjar, Eby Varghese from Nedumkandom Polytechnic College and Bivin Damodar from Govt Polytechnic College, Muttom.

Nadir Shah from Vaikom is a final year student in Applied Electronics at Polytechnic College, Poonjar. The college sent 15 candidates to the Talent Genie Programme. Nadir Shah hopes to do Instrumentation Engineering through Lateral Entry Scheme after e completes his course.

Eby Varghese from Alady, Idukki is a 3^rd year Electronics student at Nedumkandom Polytechnic College. Anxious to reach the programme in time Aby set out at 3am in the morning from his home. 20 students from the college took part in the programme. Eby won the prize for answering the question, “Which is foreign company acquired by Tata Steel?”

A quizzer interested in Programming, Bivin Damodar is a Computer Science Student at Govt Polytechnic College, Muttom. 9 students from the college participated in the Talent Genie Programme. He answerd the question, “Who heads the UID Project?” promptly and won the Redhat Cap.

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome Survival

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome is one of the occupational hazards of being in the IT industry. Here is a great survival guide from Darren Gladstone as to what precautionary steps need to be taken to avoid this injury. Learn from his mistakes.

Biju's Mysterious Injury

Why is it that Biju sports some sort of bandage after every Calicut trip? His neck seems injured this time. Anyway, we have to stop sending him to Calicut to avoid these mishaps.

Any guesses? Read this earlier post to understand Biju's injury graph after each Calicut trip.

Anyway he is one of the most frequently photographed guys for this blog.

Georgy's Laptop Trial

Anxious to progress with his blog on Jeevan's matrimony, Georgy decided to buy a laptop. But he forgot to attend the Laptop for Dummies class. The result? He was livid that his laptop was not getting charged and gave Nebin a earful about his. The entire while he had not pugged the charger into the socket. Don't worry, Georgy! We are organising a refresher for you.

Jhanda Uncha Rahe Hamara!

Here is some Independence Day Gossip for you. Hari(Faculty, IPSR) went to purchase an Indian Flag to celebrate the country's Independence. But he was disappointed with India's tri-colour. He pointedly asked the shopkeeper whether he could get the flag in other colours like perhaps, purple or yellow. The shopkeeper is still in a state to shock.

Happy Independence Day!

IPSRians, Happy Independence Day!
Don't forget that the office party is as Jeevan's and Priya's house tommorrow. Sadly, tommorrow signals the end of their independence.

The Mystery Continues...

I am sorry to admit that the poll failed miserably. We still have no one owning up to the identity of Boss the Force. All of us are so caught up with pre-Onam projects that we don't have the time to even vote. Sad, isn't it?
Now we will just have to see what Boss says.
But Jibin has the maximum number of votes.

Onam offer for IPSRians!

You just have to send Onam greetings to your loved ones through Manorama Classifieds and you get a great OK nonstick frying pan. All this for the cost of just Rs. 100/-.
Interested? Just contact Rajuchettan.

Just who are you? We know that you actively comment on interesting posts. In one of those earlier ping-pong matches following the MEB contest, Shiju asked you to reveal yourself. Will you please do that? Or do we have to hold a Guess the identity poll? Now that's an idea.

Check out the poll on the right.

2. You have reasonable fluency in English.
3. You like to write.

Jeevan the Dulha Raja

Jeevan's bachelor days are numbered. Such is the effect of the Most Eligible Bachelor of IPSR Contest. The poor boy is compelled to get married lest he be awarded the ever rolling trophy next year. Jeevan's betrothed is Tintu. The wedding will take place this month itself in Kanjirappally.
Next is Bijumon's chance. Are you listening, Biju?

It Happened!

For all those doubting Thomases (Shiju Alex and the like) and Thomasinas, Transmeet did happen. We started a bit late though due to technical hiccups (Krishna was searching for an apt music compilation and refused to start without the music), but otherwise it was a smooth sail. Cherian welcomed everyone and after that Krishnaraj took over as the MC. Introduction of new employees and Referral system followed. The highlight of the day was the crowning of the Most
Eligible Bachelors of IPSR - Jeevan, Georgy and Bijumon. Jeevan was so overwhelmed with emotion that he cried buckets of tears. (Somebody give him a break and find him a girl, the poor chap is miserable)!

Transmeet ended on a sentimental note when it came time to bid farewell to our beloved Priya who had been managing the Front Office Desk of IPSR for the past 5 years.
We definitely missed our collegues at Calicut and Cochin this time. Hope to see some of you at the next Transmeet. Ciao!

The winners will get exciting gifts at the next Transmeet. Please brace yourselves for this event. Ciao!

Jeevan4Everyone

If you hear Swiss milkmaids yodeling down the Alps, please pay close attention. They are probably yodeling 'Jeevan4U'.

Mummy Extraordinaire

The 84 year old Thressiamma, mother of T.D.Joseph Sir(our Promoter) and grandmother of Benila Mendus (our Course Director) was in the limelight recently when SBT honoured her on Mother's Day.
