It was a get together of sorts with even the 3rd yearites doing EEE electives being present for the announcement of the new president. It is Rachit Chandra taking over from Nakul Jamadagni. I just can't help feeling so lucky to be amongst some of the best people on campus...CELites. This is something I wanted to say at the end of the meet..... but I couldn't.... I don't understand why I can't tell people what I want them to know.

The first time I saw Nakul was during the first interaction I was a part of after the CEL recruitment in my first semester. It was room no. 3115, FD III building. My first impression of him wasn't all that great. In fact he seemed to me as an extremely hyperactive guy and a misfit in a centre of excellence in entrepreneurship. I ended up being a part of the bootcamp for which Nakul was one of the lead. The other lead was Soujanya. Those 15 days were one of my best in BITS-Pilani and by the end of it realised that Nakul was someone whom I could connect with. A year later, the respect has only increased. He is the cool guy.....jnacool is very apt. He can deal any situation with utmost calmness and composure. It has been a great experience, learning from him to respect others opinion, be a team leader and overall have fun!!

Rachit Chandra, if you have read my first post is my inspiration to blog. He has been my friend, guide and philosopher and continues to be one of the most influential personalities on my life. I can spend days talking about him. I try to grab every opportunity to go to his room and spend time listening to him for this is one of the best ways of learning I could find in BITS-Pilani. I am looking forward to more of these sessions this semester. Hope all the CELites especially the first yearites learn a lot from Rachit.

Everything I have written here about Nakul and Rachit is not just as a CELite. I feel gifted to have them as friends and take great pride in being their student.

]]> <![CDATA[Tasty bits - Nokia 5800 (Tube)]]> http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/?p=554 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 07:01:56 +0000 tnkgrl http://tnkgrl.ta.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/tasty-bits-nokia-5800-tube/ I was recently hanging out with Matthew Bennett of Nokia Daily News, and we ended up filming each-other while discussing the awesome new Nokia 5800 (Tube) - how geeky :)

His video is here. My video is there.

As I pointed out in the videos, the 5800 is not the first production touch device running Symbian. That title belongs to the Nokia 7710, which is a Symbian-based (S90) phone with a touch screen that uses Hildon, the same user interface as the Linux-based (Maemo) Internet tablets.

The 7710 was way ahead of its time. Sure it was rather slow, but in late 2004 it featured a 1.3 megapixel camera, tri-band EDGE, an MMC slot, a web browser with Flash, Bluetooth keyboard support, location-based services (A-GPS), VoIP (SIP), and many other modern N-series features we take for granted today!

Likewise, the Symbian-based (S60v5) Nokia 5800 - incorporating a 3.2 megapixel Zeiss camera (with auto-focus, macro and dual LED flash), 3G, WiFi, a micro-SDHC slot, and GPS - could (should?) be an N-series device today.

As I mentioned in the videos, I was not expecting this many hardware features on such an affordable mid-range phone. Likewise, I was not anticipating the software to be quite as polished. I'm impressed with the direction Symbian is taking with touch...

The resistive touch screen and lack of multitouch are a bit disappointing, although I understand Nokia's desire to cater to a broad range of markets. Ultimately, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the 5800 as soon as possible.
