Hello Kishore,

Interesting thoughts. But you know what makes a great computer engineer is not a single track mind like a race-horse but a fair amount of breadth.

So, coming back to your blog. Dont write away those subjects on Engineering, you have no idea how useful they are.

Well here are my comments, so to speak. No offense meant. Nice Site Btw. Well arranged. Green also happens to be the color the eye is most sensitive to in the Visible Spectrum (I didnt learn that in CSE :-d)

Regards,
Mayur

@Mayur: Thanks, I will keep that in mind. That was what some others told me as well, so I am going to now take things positively ;)

Be glad that you don’t have workshop. Being a girl, it was the toughest subject for me. What’s the point of sawing steel for an electronics student?

@Ed: Hold on… I believe it is part of the Engineering Graphics. Atleast that was what I remember hearing. I have taken carpentry as a subject before in Singapore. However, that was around 5 years ago. I found that much better than Home Economics, which was about cooking and sewing!
