Amazing G O I

My examinations are completed and so now I am free. Hurray! On the evening of the last exam we friends went to a lifestyle and had a small get together. And on the next day I went for sight seeing (Gateway of India, Marine Drive) with other friends. I saw the building of BSE from outside. The buildings architectures are amazing and the guys who built that part of Mumbai are really great. The moon from Marine Drive was a spectacular view.
Need to think about my business ideas too.

Tough exam? - Never lose hope

Today, I gave NN examination. It was such a tough paper that I couldn't write even a single letter literally in the first one hour. I was reading the textbook (Open Text Book Exam) just to understand the question. For a small question which carries 3 marks I read, tried and struggled a lot for 45 minutes. Solving it gave me some hope and with that I partially finished the 1st question. I passed on to the next question. Absolutely no idea at all. I have nothing to do but leave it. But I thought why not give a try, then read the text book again and tried to build up some idea. At last I could able to write little bit.

Then I moved on to the third and final question. The answers which I have written for the earlier 2 questions gave me some confidence. Last question was completely new which I never read in the whole course, but I remembered that I read similar one in my graduation. Again read other text books for the hints. Just 20 minutes before the end of the examination I got some hint and you know, I cracked it - 12 marks in my basket. At the end I was in ecstasy.

Now I shall compare my experience to this expression "0 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 12 = 25". Hey, why "0" in the expression? Yeah, initially when I looked the question paper my mind was blank (of course thinking whether I will pass or not). Then "+" which symbolizes my trying and not giving up the hope made all the difference to score about 25 out of 50. Ultimately it’s a nice lesson from a tough exam.

Got an Idea!

Making an educational software tool: But what it is, what it does, how can it help me, does it solve some problems? If so first of all what are the problems? Hey! there are many questions but no answers.

First of all lets remember what are the subjects that we have in the school education?- Languages, physical and natural sciences, mathematics, social sciences. Can we build simulation software for physics experiments, making students easy to understand? Not a bad idea, but need to work a lot to build the complete product.

I have got an idea …

For a while let’s get back to days of my schooling. Geography subject was the most boring subject during my school days. And so I read very less just to meet the requirements to get passed in that subject. What is its aim? After all to know various places in the world – Location, mountains and rivers, climatic condition, minerals and other natural resources availability, commerce hubs, transporting, soils, crops and animal husbandry, forests and culture of people

So how would it be if we have a computer game by which we can learn concepts of the subject just by playing it!

Yeah, create a story line for the game like starting a business in some continent or being a leader or CEO of the place. And then in the course of achieving some goal, player should act according to the explored place and its climatic conditions, natural and other resources, culture & traditions of the people.

I think Microsoft has already done and is doing some concrete work in that area. Can we compete with that sort of giant companies? Hey Shri, don’t think of competition first, think about the product. Any thing in this world is conquerable with will. Get down to work, you will do it.

I think it seems ok. I will think again to become more concrete. But at first I will try to write some requirements.

Product making Requirements:

• Sound Understanding of the places (by textbooks and material from the internet)
• Good Story Line
• Graphics and game making software
• Narration Scripts
• background music score & Sound effects, dubbing
  
• Most important of all is the “Expertise to manage and make the project” and Creative Writing and thinking.
