What is animation?

Different Definitions for Animation:

In the simplest sense, animation is something that makes slide objects move on a slide. And slide objects

can be anything on a slide; these include text, pictures, charts, SmartArt graphics, shapes, even movie

clips.

Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2‐D or 3‐D artwork or model positions in order

to create an illusion of movement. It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of

persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in a number of ways.

Animation is a visual technique that provides the illusion of motion by displaying a collection of images

in rapid sequence. Each image contains a small change, for example a leg moves slightly, or the wheel of

a car

turns.

When

the

images

are

viewed

rapidly,

your

eye

fills

in

the

details

and

the

illusion

of

movement is complete.



Animation Types:

Clay animation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or

background, is "deformable" ‐‐ made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay.

Clay animation

is

not

really

a new

technique

as

many

people

might

think.

Clay

animation

began

shortly

after plasticine (a clay‐like substance) was invented in 1897, and one of the first films to use it was made

in 1902. Now, clay animation has become more popular and easier to do. Later on, more clay

animation films were made, such as the Wallace and Gromit series of movies, the advertisements that

were made for the California Raisin Advisory Board and the Celebrity Deathmatch series.

The background image is taken from AMARON Battery advertise which was a good Clay Animation.



Computer Animation:

Computer animation (or CGI animation) is the art of creating moving images with the use of computers.

It is a subfield of computer graphics and animation

Computer animation

has

also

become

common.

Computer

animation

began

about

40

years

ago

when

the first computer drawing system was created by General Motors and IBM. It allowed the user to view

a 3D model of a car and change the angles and rotation. Years later, more people helped make

computer animation better. Movies that used computer animation are: The Abyss, Jurassic Park, Forrest

Gump, and more. Also, computer animation was used differently, as in the show 'South Park', which

used stop motion cutout animation; recently it uses computer animation. A well‐known computer

animation company is Pixar. They are responsible for making Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc.,

Finding Nemo, and more. Also, video games have used computer animation as well.

:

3D animation are digitally modeled and manipulated by an animator. In order to

manipulate a mesh, it is given a digital skeletal structure that can be used to control the mesh.

This process is called rigging. Various other techniques can be applied, such as mathematical

functions (ex. gravity, particle simulations), simulated fur or hair, effects such as fire and water

and the use of Motion capture to name but a few, these techniques fall under the category of

3d dynamics.



Microsoft Certification QuickStart Guide : By Kiran Patil

Overview

In this article, we are going to talk about Microsoft Certification’s importance, benefit, how to prepare, and how to give

exam.

Introduction to Certification

Knowledge is power, especially in the current job market. Documentation of your skills enables you to advance you

career or help you to start a new one. Getting a certificate proves your commitment to upgrade your skills, gives you the

credibility needed for more responsibilities, larger projects, and a higher salary.

Seventy‐five percent of managers believe that certifications are important to team performance. Forty‐five percent of

employees

strongly

agree

that

when

their

employers

pay

for

exams,

it

provides

a

strong

incentive

to

stay

in

their

jobs.

In short, Certification shows that you are a self ‐learner, and you are keen enough to update your knowledge and it

shows your passion about technology. It also validates your skills from Microsoft.

Sounds interesting? Would like to be certified? Here are the steps to get Microsoft certified.

Step 1 : Choose a Path (Which exam should I give?) Ans: First, you have to choose your path in which you need to give your certification. Currently, there are three main

paths available for you.

1. Visual Studio 2005:‐ If you would like to get your skills certified for .NET Framework 2.0 then this path is for you.

As shown in diagram 70‐536(.NET Framework – Application) is a required for any sub path. Once you pass 70‐536 then

you can choose any sub path(s) to go for.



First sub path is for Windows Developers – If you would like to get your skills certified for Windows applications you

should choose first sub path (70‐526, 70‐548).

Second sub path is for Web Developers – If you would like to get your skills certified for Web applications you should

choose second sub path (70‐528, 70‐547).

Third sub path is for Distributed application Developers – – If you would like to get your skills certified for in distributed

applications, you should choose third sub path (70‐529, 70‐549).

Now, you must be thinking why two exams for each sub path? Good question. Let me answer it. When ever you give any

first exam from any of these sub paths like 70‐526/70‐528/70‐529 then you will be MCTS (Microsoft Certified

Technology Specialist – In that Field) e.g. If you clear 70‐528 then you will get MCTS – Web Certificate. In addition, afte

that whenever you clear next exam from your sub path then you will be MCPD (Microsoft Certified Professiona

Developer) – In that field e.g. If you clear 70‐547 then you will get MCPD –Web Certification.

2. Visual Studio 2008:‐ If you would like to get your skills certified for .NET Framework 3.5 then this path is for you.

Just

a

note:

70 ‐

536

exam

is

common

for

Visual

Studio

2005

and

Visual

Studio

2008

exams.

You can choose any sub path from above given diagram. The certificate pattern will be same as discussed in VS 2005

section.

Upgrade Path from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2008

If you have cleared your certifications with Visual Studio 2005 Path and you would like to update your certification skills

for Visual Studio 2008 then you have to give update exam for that. E.g. If I have MCPD – Web(70‐547) in 2005 and

would like to upgrade it to MCPD – Web 3.5 then I can do it by giving one exam with exam code – 70‐567



7. If you have cleared an exam. You can go for a party!

Step 4 : After exam (What will I get after passing my exam?) Ans: If this was your first exam then after 7/more days you will get mail from Microsoft on your email ID (Which you

provided while registering for an exam at PROMETRIC Center) with your MCP ID. Using which you can register yoursel

on MCP Portal.

Following are

few

things

that

you

will

get

after

clearing

an

exam:

Industry recognition

Access to technical and product information directly from Microsoft

Discounts on products and services

Microsoft paraphernalia like

o Logo: ‐ you can download your Certification logo from your MCP Portal. Which you can put on you

resume, blog anywhere.

o Certificate: ‐ You can download your Certificate from your MCP Portal. In addition, if you need hard copy

from Microsoft then you can order it by paying some nominal charges.

o Transcript: ‐ Transcript lists all your certification exams that you can share with employers by URL.

However, the immediate and most important benefits of certification are as follow, it increases in market value

importance of the person, and boost in his / her career meant for software professionals.

FAQ



Can I clear exam using dumps?

Yes, But It will give you certificate not knowledge.

Benefits of Certification?

By earning a Microsoft Certification, you gain relevant skills that employers respect and you get the opportunity to

connect with a global community of other certified professionals. The Microsoft Certification Program also provides you

with access to valuable Microsoft resources and benefits, such as access to the member Web site, career‐building tools

and training. Explore the benefits of certification—and start your journey towards your ideal career.

What do 70‐536/70‐528/70‐547 numbers mean to say?

It is exam code for each exam. Microsoft has given exam code number for each Microsoft exam as 70‐536 is for .NET

foundation like that. It is good to know the exam number because while buying/downloading a book you can search by

exam code, while registering for exam at Prometric center they may ask you exam code.

Is there a negative marking?

No negative marking.

What is passing score?

700 out of 1000

What is

MCP

portal?

It is your personalized portal where you can download your logo/certificate etc.

What is Exam Fees?

50$(2500 INR). Nevertheless, always some discount offers are available from Microsoft. So, you can ask for that at you

prometric center. Also sometime Microsoft offers second shot offers as well – Unluckily, if you cannot clear exam in first

shot you can give second shot free.

Still have questions? You can post them at my blog: http://kiranpatils.wordpress.com Or drop me a line at

[email protected] I will be happy to answer them!

Online public

access

catalogues

(OPACs)

are

the

interface

that

helps

users

communicates

with

the collection of a library. Typically OPACs allow users to search the library’s catalogue, and

also provide some other facilities, such as checking borrower recodes, reserving materials,

library news bulletins, and so on. Such systems offer the advantage to the user of

sophisticated information retrieval technology which can process tens of thousands of

bibliographic records in a matter of seconds. Many libraries of all kinds have electronic Online

Public‐Access Catalogs (OPACs), one of the major forms of intellectual technologies that

libraries and other information agencies offer their clients. These intellectual technologies are

important tools in the inter‐mediation that information professionals have traditionally

provided and continue to provide:

Transactional mediation ‐ providing advice to the client or user, often in real time and

often while both parties are in the same place

Social mediation ‐identifying and providing reliable, authenticated information

Intellectual mediation ‐organizing and distributing information, often linked to major

value‐adding activities.

The OPACs that are available through the Internet, Web, often rely on the Z39.50 information

retrieval standard, which, in turn, integrates the MARC record into OPACs. Library catalogs,

whether online or not, perform several important tasks. First, they list materials in the

collection(s)

of

the

institution(s).

They

identify

the

physical

or

digital

locations

of

those

items

and provide systematic descriptions of the materials. Lastly, library catalogs bring items with

similar characteristics together, e.g., author, title, and subject heading. Thus, OPACs and

other catalogs facilitate the finding of known items as well as unknown items.

It is clear that the concept of adding value to OPACs is one of their great strengths.

Links to full‐text, multimedia, composite documents

Links to journal titles, especially Tables of Contents as well as full‐text versions of

papers

Ability to order, reserve, recall, and renew materials online

Links through subject headings, authors, and publishers, especially professional

associations, to

similar

material.

THE BCA BOOKERS

“BCA Teachers Do N o t only w ri te on Boards for us”

We happily present the books written by our Teachers :

Dr Aarati Mujumdar & Pravin M Jain.



SWITCHER

* Provides 3 different styles of display: you can choose the default style to use or switch at will via the F1‐F3 keys.

See the image to the right for a quick overview of these styles.

* Select by number keys: quick and direct. You can also scroll across the displayed windows using the arrow or tab

keys.

* Switcher Screenshot ‐ search functionSearch function: once Switcher is invoked, you can key in a keyword or part

of a keyword to filter your windows. The search box will appear once you start typing. See the screenshot to the

right for an example whereby Switcher filtered my nine or so windows to hone in on the two browser windows

related to my keyword. An interesting use of this is that you can set Switcher to remember your keyword filter

across sessions,

such

that

it

would

always

only

populate

the

Windows

that

you

are

interested

in

and

exclude

any

others.

* Low on resources: at less than 10 megs in memory on my Windows 7 64 bit, this app will not tax your system .

* Portable: you can download an installer version as well as a portable unzip‐and‐run version.

* Customizable: you can customize how Switcher is invoked (keyboard hotkeys, mouse placement, or a

combination thereof). You can also customize other aspects, such as the color scheme used, etc.

* Win7: plays extremely well with Windows 7.



FILES TO FOLDER

Just a few notes about this software

* Filtypes handled: the context menu entry will handle any filetype you select; the GUI interface will handle

any of the filetypes defined in the “Filter” field.

* Multiple files with the same name and different extensions: are moved to the same folder. For example,

“Charlie‐Brown.avi”, “Charlie‐Brown.jpg”, and “Charlie‐Brown.nfo” will all end up in the same folder

(“Charlie‐Brown”).

* Context menu: works on both 32bit and 64bit Windows explorer. Add or remove this from the main

interface.



CCENHANCER

Most of us are familiar with CCleaner, probably the world’s most free popular hard drive (and registry)

cleaning program.

But if you have a lot of apps installed, there is a high likelihood that a lot of redundant and useless files are

accumulating on

your

hard

drive

anyway,

despite

CCleaner’s

cleaning

activity.

The

reason:

for

many

apps,

CCleaner has to be told where to look. Although CCleaner offers support for a handful of very common

applications, such as MS Office or Adobe Flash Player, for many more applications, such as most alternative

internet browsers or apps such as uTorrent or KMplayer, etc.. CCleaner simply has no map to guide it.

This is where CCEnhancer can help. This CCleaner add‐on adds support for hundreds of extra custom

programs to CCleaner, beyond the handful that it supports by default. It simply scans your system to see what

programs you have installed and adds support for many to CCleaner in seconds.

With CCEnhancer,

definitions

for

a wide

range

of

custom

apps

can

be

download

and

installed

within

CCleaner

in seconds. More notes on this program below.

* Programs supported: over 270 as of this writing. Note that it checks your installed programs first, and

installs support for only those programs that are on your machine. As an example, see the screenshot on the

right for a “before and after” for my system.

* 1‐click operation: all you have to do is run CCEnhancer and press the “Download latest” button.

* Works for CCleaner portable as well



Aerofoil: extends your notebook's battery life under

Windows Vista and Windows 7

This is one of those programs that ostensibly does so little, but in fact can have a significant impact on your

notebook’s battery life. Aerofoil is a small, free app for Windows Vista and Windows 7 that reduces your

computer’s power consumption whenever it is running on battery. It does this by automatically switching off

some features, namely the Windows Vista/7 Aero glass interface, the Windows sidebar, muting the sound

whenever your

notebook

is

running

on

battery.

More interestingly, it can also switch across different Windows power plans, enabling one power plan when

plugged in and a different one when running on battery.

The Aerofoil icon in the system tray also provides a very quick and easy way to toggle the Windows Aero

Glass interface on and off, useful for conserving CPU resources if and when you need to.

KEY FEATURES :

1‐Manages your computer’s power plans

2‐Windows Aero Glass interface

3‐ Consumes minimal resources

4‐ All services are optional



Cameyo

virtualization app can create portable executables from any application

Cameyo is a free software virtualization program that runs on both

32 bit and 64 bit operating systems.

How it

works:

Cameyo

takes

a snapshot

of

your

system

right

before

you install a new software, monitors the install process, and figures

out all the modifications that were made to your system in the

interim. It then wraps the installed program and environment in a

virtual layer that is accessed via a single executable.



BBox

organize your files, folders, and URLs within a virtual environment

Box is a free program that can organize files and folders within a

virtual environment, allowing you to group with your files and folders

into categories and work with them without moving the actual files

and folders from their locations on your hard drive.

BBox can manage files and folders as well as URLs and notes, and

supports drag and drop from Windows explorer.



RECUVA : Data Recovery Tool

Accidentally deleted an important file? Lost something

important when your computer crashed? No problem! Recuva

recovers files deleted from your Windows computer, Recycle

Bin, digital camera card, or MP3 player. And it's free!



PIXRESIZER

Uploading your Pics on Sites or filling forms online .?

Most of the time there are pre‐resolutions specified.

PIXRESIZER comes to the rescue than. Which is a simple yet powerful

tool to convert image formats and customizing image resolution.



TEAMVIEWER

THE JUDGEMENT

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in sumMer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.

The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.

The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment. The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be Measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Moral: Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge life by one difficult season.



Intel Core i7 vs. i5 vs. i3

- Brief :

Although they’ve been out for a while now, Intel’s Core lineup, Core i7, Core i5, and Core i3

processors,

are

still

considered

relatively

young

(for

processor

line

marketing).

And Being an IT Friend of yours, Here, I will review the three processors, explaining the technologies

behind them, Intel’s philosophy, and help you decide the best for yourself.

Rather than taking the traditional processor comparison route by showing you a bunch of benchmarks,

game performance specs, etc. This review of mine will focus on explaining the “core” of Intel’s core

lineup.

Although benchmarks are useful for heavy computer gamers, they pretty much mean jack to the

average computer user.



Why would the Inspiron computer be cheaper than the Studio?

- Aside from Inspiron being Dell’s base line, and Studio being Dell’s mid‐range line, the Core line

of processors (i3, i5, i7) are actually being marketed cheaper than the older Core 2 Duos and

Core

2

Quads;

strategically,

making

them

more

affordable

to

the

consumer.

Most likely, this is due to the struggling economy, and to put more pressure on Intel’s rival company

AMD, which has earned a reputation as being a much more affordable processor manufacturer than

Intel.

We’ll start at the bottom and work our way up.

Core i3:

Core i3 is Intel’s latest budget processor. Even though the Core i3 is the lowest of the bunch, it’s

still a very good processor that has received good to outstanding reviews by the majority of experts

and customers alike.

The technology behind Core i3 processors includes dual

core base, hyper threading support, and virtualization. Core i3

processors do

support

64

‐bit

versions

of

Windows.

By taking advantage of Intel’s new chipset and 32nm

technology, Core i3’s have even been known to perform closely to

lower end Core 2 Quad processors(4 processors ).

Should you buy a computer with a Core i3 processor?

‐ Well it depends. If you use your computer for basic tasks such as word processing, email,

surfing the web, etc., a Core i3 processor is more than enough to handle all of that with ease. A core i3

processor is a solid, affordable choice for the heavy majority of people.



Core i5:

Core i5 is the latest “mid‐range” processor by Intel. A step up from the Core i3, i5 processors

will give you a noticeable difference in speed, depending on what type of applications that you run. If

you are playing solitaire, you aren’t going to be able to tell a difference between Core i3 and Core i5

processors. If you are editing multiple files in Adobe Flash, with virtualization software, you may notice

the Core i5 to be snappier.

Technically, Core

i5

processors

are

marketed

a bit

differently. There are two main types of Core i5 Processors, dual

core, and quad core. Dual core i5 processors have 32nm

technology, hyper threading support, virtualization support, and

Turbo Boost technology. Quad core i5 processors have 45nm

technology, virtualization support and Turbo Boost technology,

but do not have hyper threading support.

Do the two types of Core i5 processors offer similar performance?

‐ Yes, in most situations. However, one may be better than another when running multi‐

threaded applications. Be sure to take note of which specific Core i5’s are dual core vs. Core i5’s that

are quad core, if you are looking to buy a specific processor.



Should you buy a computer with a Core i5 processor?

‐ In most situations, a Core i5 is a safe bet. Core i5’s offer enough performance to do stuff like

video editing and gaming, and more than enough performance to do basic stuff like word processing,

internet surfing, and email. A Core i5 processor is a great, mid‐range priced processor for people who

use their computers frequently and often multi task. Hence, made for us kind of (at least right now …).

Not so fast. You haven’t read about the fastest yet.

Core i7:

Last, but not least, we have the Intel Core i7 processor lineup. Core i7’s are the

current top of the line, out of all the Core series

processors. They are also the most expensive.

Technically, Core i7’s also come in two different

varieties.

The notable difference between the two?

‐ Chipset. Core i7 processors are available in either a LGA1156 chipset or a LGA1366 chipset.

Both chipsets offer quad core performance, virtualization support, hyper threading, and Turbo Boost

Technology. However, the i7 9xx series processors, which utilize the 1366 chipset, are considered to be

slightly faster, and the “best of the best” out of all processors, even AMD.



Both variations of the Core i7 CPU will offer similar performance in most cases, and that performance

is screaming fast. The i7 9xx may perform slightly better in heavy gaming.

Should you buy a computer with an i7 processor?

‐That would be up to you. For most computer users, an i7 processor is far from necessary. But if

you want the latest and fastest, that’s what the i7 is all about.

Even if you are doing some above average video rendering, Intel’s cheaper Core i5 should be able to

handle that.

If

you

know

what

the

term

“overclocking”

means,

the

Core

i7

may

be

just

what

you

were

looking for. If you have the cash to dish out, you could even consider going the Core i7 Extreme route,

which will put you at light speed… Not light speed, but pretty darn fast.

Possible Future Releases:

Intel’s Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 processors should be here for a while. However, if you are

considering purchasing an i7 processor, and want the best of the

best, you may want to hold off a bit longer.

Many tech enthusiasts have noted that Intel will release a

new top of the line processor dubbed “i9.” Most likely, this will

not drop

the

price

of

the

other

Core

i3,

Core

i5,

and

Core

i7

processors. Rather, it will be offered as an ultra‐high performance

processor. A Core i9 is definitely possible in the near future,

possibly by Q3 of this year??

Conclusion and Advice

Whether you

decide

on

the

Core

i3,

Core

i5,

or

Core

i7,

you

will

be

getting

a quality

processor

(Note that intel core i7 920XM extreme edition is the Fastest laptop processor on the Earth !!!). All three versions in the Intel Core series have received outstanding reviews from all major tech experts

and review sites.

The differences between the three processors are quite obvious, and price reflects that. Get a

computer within your budget. But don’t get a high priced computer with an older Core 2 Duo or Core 2

Quad series processor.

Not that these aren’t great processors, but the newer Core i3‐i5‐i7 series offers better

performance at

a lower

price.

The

newer

series

also

runs

on

a newer

chipset.

In

turn,

these

processors

will be more “future proof.”

It’s easy to choose between i3,i5 and i7 but What about AMD V/S Intel ? well amd v/s intel is very hot topic to discuss , you can decide that by analyzing

various benchmark reports for various applications.

NOTE: Please make a backup of your folder on which you are using this trick bcoz you might not

be able to use this trick correctly for the first time.(Works only for windows XP) Yes thats right. You can lock any folder without using any software. Follow these

steps.

1.Suppose you have a folder named abcd in D:\abcd.

2.In the same drive next to the folder create a new notepad file with

the exact statement

ren abcd abcd.{21EC2020‐3AEA‐1069‐A2DD‐08002B30309D}

3.Now save this text file as loc.bat

4.Create another notepad file and type

ren abcd.{21EC2020

‐3AEA

‐1069

‐A2DD

‐08002B30309D}

abcd

5.Save this as key.bat

6.Now there are two batch files . Double click loc.bat and your folder

will change into Control Panel and its contents cannot be viewed .

7.To open the folder double click key.bat and you get back your

original folder .

8.For more safety keep the key.bat in another location .Only for

unlocking copy

paste

to

the

original

location

and

double

click

.

Concerned about logic behind this??‐well it’s pretty simple This will rename your folder so it will point to control panel when you

open. And while unlocking it will remove characters after “.” so it’ll be normal folder again.

You can do Same thing with command prompt also.

Note: This trick has some drawbacks . well most of the securities can be breaked.. so this one also.. you

will find ways to break this protection as well !!!!

Another Trick

!!(works

on

windows

7)

‐ add this behind folder name to lock .{2559a1f2‐21d7‐11d4‐bdaf ‐00c04f60b9f0}

Eg. If u have “abcd” then rename it abcd. .{2559a1f2‐21d7‐11d4‐bdaf ‐00c04f60b9f0}

‐To unlock remove that part after “.” So simple ! Eg. make it again “abcd”



Bring Back The Time….

I walk to places where we’ve been, Thinking will see you somehow. To arrive early than expected,

Will not occur now. Hope never dies to be with you.

Bring back the time when you used to hold my hand, And console me that I’m not alone.

Bring back the time when you used to make me blush,

And make me feel your own.

The soft gentle touch of your body, And your essence still pulls me.

I wanna have your glimpse my baby, Coz you own my heart’s key. Hope never dies to be with you.




The inaugural of bright sunny day, And those never ending calls. Now all seem to be despair, And wanna cross all walls.

Hope never dies to be with you. Bring back the time when you used to hold my hand,

And console me that I’m not alone. Bring back the time when you used to make me

blush, And make me f eel your own.

Though i know we gotta say good bye, Your memories is what will keep me alive.

Your smile,your love,your care, Is never gonna make me die. Hope never dies to be with you.

Dogs truly are one of the greatest gifts that God ever gave us. They

give us unconditional love just as God does and remind us daily that we too can love this way if we choose.

There is a joyous ringing in my house since past one year. She comes from a bouncing, jumping, running, tail wagging, face licking bundle of happiness with a bell on her collar. It comes from a rapidly growing four- legged, innocent faced, brown eyed ball of energy that has made its home in our house and hearts.

Yes, I have an adorable, cute, furry dog called Amo. It means love in Latin and the name fits this very lovable pawl.

Why do we love dogs so much?

May be because they love us so much. Whenever I am sad, the way she comes to me wagging her tail and showing how much she cares and how much she is happy when I give her attention, just pure unconditional love.

Well that is the best thing I can expect in this world. I can’t even picture my life without her. The big surprise for me was how many activities I can do with her. The variety of sports, games, and just the simple good times was also an eye opener.

Sometimes I just take the unconditional love given by her taken for granted. I should have not done that because there may be a day when she mite not be waiting for me at the door because god has decided to take her.

Well that would be one of the worst day of my life.



W

Miss You Teachers : By Tuhin Goswami(Alumni)

life is always crazy, many things left unsaid,

memories turn hazy, words remain unexpressed.

mischiefs done are forgotten,fun were made.

mimicking teachers, but hurting them was never intended.

Even they never took us for granted

respect was not just what they always wanted.

someone's birthday and everybody celebrated,

where have those days gone ? are they really faded ?

eating chocolates were pardoned mind you sometimes we were also punished,

and the good thing was our internal marks were never published. :)

in our final projects, when we were misled,

you came to our rescue and saved many of our heads.

tired with the idiotic extra curricular activities,

it was you who encouraged us to start our studies !!!

many seniors have come and gone, many got love, many gave respect

while many juniors are yet to come, hope they dont change the aspect.

it is not possible for all the thousand,

to be present at the same time and make the ceremony from huge to grand.

a small statement that we all wanna say

we really Regard that you taught the batches of MSU BCA... ♥♥♥



Rishte me to apke students kehlate hai hum..

Par mata‐pita ki chavi aap me paate hai hum..

Kabhi sahi,,kabhi kuch galat keh jate hai hum..

Ek anutha rishta aap sang sajate hai hum..

Teen saal yaado me liye yaha se chale jate hai hum..

Aapko hum mese kuch yaad aaenge jyada..kuch aaenge kum..

Aaj mila hai mauka to ek hi baat kehna chahte hai hum..

Aapke aage humesha apne aapko natmastak pate hai hum.

Music aficionados, can you visualize a life void of music? Absolutely NOT! Whether you

accept it or not, music affects our daily life, weaving its beauty and sensation through our

thoughts,

activities

and

memoirs.

Music

is

harmony

and

music

is

beauty.

Music

has

the

impact

of conveying the ineffable. One cannot approach music with one’s own peculiar likes, dislikes or

tastes, which are all a part of one’s own conditioning. Music is something both astoundingly

complex and unbelievably simple at the same time.

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain

silent. - Victor Hugo

The genesis of World Music Day:

World Music Day, also known as Fete de la Musique, was a music festival that began in France

in 1982. The idea was conceived by French Minister of Culture, Jack Lang, in 1981. Since then

June 21st has been celebrated every year as the World Music Day.

On this day, the musicians perform for free in open areas. Free concerts are organized in parks,

museums, train stations, castles etc. This helps in making all sorts of music accessible to the

public. It gives an opportunity to commune and share a special bond through music. There is no

restriction for noise on this day.

The term ‘World Music’ includes both traditional as well as non‐Western music. It is folk music

of any culture, played by indigenous people. It is also a classical music along with traditional

ethnic instruments. Some of them are – Japanese `Koto` music, Indian `raga` music, Tibetan

`chants ̀and South African `township ̀music.

World Music Day is celebrated in Argentina, Australia, Britain, Luxemburg, Germany,

Switzerland, Costa Rica, China, India, Lebanon and several other countries. This is done to

promote peace and spread goodwill through music. Musicians from across the world are also

invited to perform on World Music Day.



Genres of music: India being a land of diversity with varied cultures, traditions and art forms, every region has its

own unique musical form. While there are various genres, Indian classical music has been

divided

into

North

Indian

traditional

known

as

Hindustani

music

and

Carnatic

music

belonging

to South India.

Apart from these, there are wide‐ranging forms such as Bhangra, Bhajans or Devotional,

Ghazals and Qawwalis, Indi‐Pop, Folk, Tribal, Film Songs, Remixes, Fusion etc. While Bhangra is

a dance oriented folk music, Bhavageete (devotional song) is a form of expressionist poetry and

light music. Qawwali is a Sufi form of devotional music based on Hindustani classical.

In the West, we have Metal, Punk, Rock, Hip‐Hop, Hard Rock, Alternative, Experimental,

Country,

Disco,

Funk,

Classical,

Progressive,

Trance,

Techno,

Ska,

Reggae

music.

The deeper meaning of music:

Music is a vital form of communication. It’s a manifestation of society in a particular time and

place. Music needs no restrictions, boundaries; it bonds us irrespective of who we are, and

where we are from. It’s a source of entertainment as well as platform to put across past,

present and future messages.

Music also helps socialize and meet new people. Music can do wonders on overall well‐being of

the mind and state. It is said, listening to music has positive effects on us. One can ease off

mental illness by listening to soft, soothing music. Bid adieu to depression and anxiety by tuning

in to your favourite track. It promotes sound sleep as well.

Music helps us unite for a good cause. Various artists jointly raised money for the quake‐struck

Haiti by recording MJ’s song ‘We are the World’. It sounds beautiful as well as inspiring, as it

echoes noble thoughts. John Lennon`s song `Imagine` can be cited as a sweet remedy in this

trouble‐torn world:



Various music festivals:

There are many World Music festivals and jazz/folk/roots/new age crossover events. ‐ The Ariano Folkfestival in southern Italy

-The California World Music Festival

-The World Sacred Music Festival in Olympia, Washington State

-FloydFest in Floyd, Virginia, USA

-The Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance in

Trumansburg, New York, USA

-Rainforest World Music Festival in Malaysia

-Stern Grove festival is a San Francisco celebration of musical and

cultural diversity

-The Starwood Festival in New York
