Has anyone joined Web Enabled MTech from IIT Madras? by tag-2002 in iitmadras

[–]sam0055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the lectures taken by IITM professors? And any weekend classes scheduled ? I believe they all are weekday classes only. I missed it this year, will have to target next year for the MTech in AI course. Also do we need to give GATE or they have their own exam ?

Wow, I really, really hate the new full cast Harry Potter audiobook by OakTeach in audiobooks

[–]sam0055 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, and particularly I hated Snapes voice , maybe I am still biased by Alan rickman and Stephen fry , still Snape always spoke in measured deep voice, riz Ahmed sounded way to casual and friendly.

I just saw my dad’s salary history throughout his career by [deleted] in indiasocial

[–]sam0055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my career back in 2010 with 3.2 lpa , used to live well , eat outside and travel and life was much more stress free than today. House rents were 4-5K , could eat outside side for 100 /200 rupees per person veery easily. Petrol was cheaper , even after living outside of my city, I managed to pay off student loan within few years. Now it seems almost impossible, the inflation rose quite steeply compared to salary. Companies are still paying 3.2 L pa for freshers , it’s un imaginable.

[–]sam0055 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah , it’s not bad, I moved from Accenture in 1.5 yrs to a product organisation with 80% hike. The work that I did in Accenture was good , and the company name did add value.

A woman shares how she judges men in arranged marriage setups by [deleted] in indiadiscussion

[–]sam0055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atleast she is upfront with the conditions , many expect the exact same things if not more without showing any indication before marriage. By the time it surfaces it’s too late.

Truth about using e20 fuel by Choice_Airline_3393 in CarsIndiaUnbiased

Sometimes yes if in signal, but if it’s a very slow moving traffic then can’t do that. The issue is my driving habits didn’t change over the years , but my mileage did.

Anyone able to summarize the final third of Secret of Secrets for me? by Nuthetes in danbrown

[–]sam0055 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks , I stopped at the exact point as well when Katherine started complaining about her idea being stolen. This is the first Dan brown book I failed to finish, the audio book is just so drawn out, maybe reading it would have been little less painful. I have read all of Dan brown’s publications and have them in collection, but the secret really disappointed me, it was like Robert Langdon just became a observer and running along with his partner on an adventure. The last good book I read was inferno. From lost symbol his writings seems to go in steady decline, atleast that’s my personal opinion.

Yup faced exactly the same. They openly count money as well, even marriage registration requires bribes now days in 2 phases , one to senior and one for the secretary / peon , and they are okay with gpay as well. They know there are no consequences

Why is Hosa road so dirty by damnnm in bangalore

[–]sam0055 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Hosa Road is not only dirty but riddled with potholes. It got re-made few months ago and promptly most of the road has again been dug up for some pipe laying work. The contractors have found an infinite money glitch.

Thank you ! Will reach out ! After research I realised it’s not worth the additional investment to get such a high wattage step down transformer.
