Crack the VMC exam!Tips Tricks And Questions (I Qualified!!)

Sorry for not posting for so long, but there was so much going on, me qualifying for VMC(yay!!) etc..etc… but i’m back(for now) and will be posting!

Due to the fantastic response that i’ve got recently regarding my Vidyamandir post, i think i’m going to expand on my experience there(I dont think i mentioned that i’m a student there did i?? ;) )
well anyways, for all those guys thinking of qualifying next year here are a few tips and tricks (i know how much i needed some during my preperations for the VMC exam)
And alson i’m going to give you readers a free treat, Some actual Questions that appear in the exam!!!

BTW dont try and search for them on the net…you won’t find more than two, i know becoase i did so myself!

So here are those Golden rules that will help you gain entrance
to one of the toughest coaching entrances out there!-

1) Dont rely on NCERT/CBSE if you want to become something in your life, if you do so you will not be capable of anything, those of you in ICSE board are still better of…but only a little.

2) Dont waste your time solving the complete RD Sharma or something like that.

3) Join 100percentiles IITJEE-(your iit exam year eg. my year 2010 ) foundation course, ( i didn’t take it but my friends told me that they are really really good and help a lot in the real exam)!

4)Dont get demoralised….most chances are you wont be able to solve more than 15 questions in the real exam( I solved 22!) but that is enough, The cutoff for ECC is 50/100 and Regular is 70/100

5) Board exams SUCK! A student with 95% may not qualify while a student with 65% may, so never take your board exams as a serious indicator at all, they are only meant to be passed.

6)Believe in your ability(Even if you dont qualify for VMC it doesnt mean you wont for IIT) but if youe taken
non-med under peer or parent pressure then i advise you to leave it, you cant qualify for IIT unless you are
willingly ready to do so.

7) Dont think that you can’t solve a Ques. Questions are meant to be solved, they are made by the examiner in that way

8) And lastly…but not least HATE the CBSE BOARD for ruining 10 years of your life whithout teaching anything worthwhile!

Ill post the questions pretty soon and will keep posting more so dont worry!

Will you be the next “American Idol”???

With The recent buzz of singing auditions on reality TV like American Idol, “So You Think You Can Dance” and so on, there seems to be a growing trend for aspiring singers or performers to go for auditions.If you want a career in pop music or stage performance then you are going to have to audition. Most singing auditions are on a small stage and modelling auditions are usually in a small room also.If you’ve watched the early singing auditions for some of these shows,

If you’ve watched the early singing auditions for some of these shows,you might well have wondered whether you could do a whole lot better.It’s great seeing all these singing auditions on television, but make sure you also notice how much stress and pressure is involved.

There are many resources that will offer to help you find singing auditions in your local area and there are many internet resources to help beginners find singing auditions.

But just like how churning the ocean can also lead to a lethal pot of poison turning up, singing auditions can also inadvertently shine a glaring spotlight upon the malodorous dregs of society who walk this planet secure in the misguided belief that their singing talents lie somewhere between excellent and divine.

You can’t be successful on talent alone, so when you go to singing auditions, you must know what to be prepared for.You should know all facets of singing auditions from gauging your skills and preparing your songs, to handling the audition itself and also what to sing in any given situation, and how to sing it.

One common pitfall that is frequently seen from most auditions, that seemed to make almost everyone nervous is: what the song is about, what show or singer it is from , who is the original singer of the song, all the words of the whole song and not just the 16 bars that have been chosen,and how to work with a background singer at singing auditions.

At the singing auditions the judges are looking for potential and enthusiasm as much as experience and a “‘finished product’.

You will likely be judged on the following criteria: -Tonal Quality: Does the voice sound focused, clear, open, warm and mature,Presentations:How you present yourself to the judges and Singing style and uniqueness.

In other words, singing auditions are held in order to choose the vocalists who will be presenting the “individual flowers encompassing the garland of songs that is the show”.

To cheat or not to cheat?…That! is the question

You dig cheating or playing nice? Because if you’re playing GTA: San Andreas and you’re playing nice, you better call off the holidays and stock up on canned food. It takes time and more time and then some. Now, if you’re an average gamer, with average responsibilities and something like a life, you may need to get a grip and get a set of GT: San Andreas cheats. Don’t let restart after laborious restart get you down — get the cheats. Come on, you know you want them!

You dig cheating or playing nice? Because if you’re playing GTA: San Andreas and you’re playing nice, you better call off the holidays and stock up on canned food. It takes time and more time and then some. Now, if you’re an average gamer, with average responsibilities and something like a life, you may need to get a grip and get a set of GT: San Andreas cheats. Don’t let restart after laborious restart get you down—get the cheats. Come on, you know you want them!

GTA: San Andreas cheats can help you find new shortcuts and unlock extremely difficult levels. Oh, did we even mention the really cool stuff? Like more life, more ammo and more weapons? “Say hello to my little friend!” Need a lift? Unlock all the nifty vehicles and put the pedal to the metal! You look good in a convertible. Look out for those pedestrians! Wait - did you hear about the “God” mode? Well, let’s just say some things are better left unsaid.

So you may be asking the perennial question: to cheat or to play nice. If you’ve got 600 hours to invest into a video game, then by all means, play nice. I’ll phone you in 2010 and see how it’s going. For mere mortals, with responsibilities like school, work, and family, using a few GTA: San Andreas cheats to polish off another stellar GTA offering is fair game. Stock up on life, liberty, and the pursuit of cops cars—with a few select cheats, you can use all the best weapons, armor, and vehicles. Cheat away, bask in the warmth of victory and get outside for crying out loud!

Before you waste your life away in that mole-hole you called a room, grab a handful of San Andreas cheats and get a leg up. Your bones will thanks you for it later.

Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0

The new Hot Rod from the Kaspersky Labs is sure going to set your Desktops on fire. With almost a 99% catching rate with month old signatures this baby will keep your computer Virus-Free and RootKit-Free.

OVERVIEW

I just got my hands on this baby and I must admit this is cool! Just after installing this on my hardware it had caught around 120 viruses on my PC with month old virus signatures which my Norton 2007 couldn’t do with up to date signatures(in your face Symantec!).

The program’s generally light with not much system resources required.Though it says it slows down the PC 10% I reckon its much lower than that…,maybe around 5%-6%(wow!that’s the first modest company I’ve seen in years!).So lets start with the review.

INTERFACE

They have streamlined the new interface which is much more sleeker and attractive than the no-frills KAV 6.0 approach, though it looks the same while scanning, the KAV labs have retained the close window option while scanning and also feature an emergency automatic resume function that really helps.

PERFORMANCE

The major gain over the other applications in the pack is it’s low system requirements. once installed it isn’t even detectable on a low-end PC(by low, I mean at least 256 Mb of ram and a 2.5 Ghz+ Processor).

Another positive is the bundelled rootkit scanner which makes sure you have a healthy PC.though it must be said that the firewall is extremely irritating at times asking for instructions at every point(It asked me if it should delete explorer.exe as it affected application integrity…). Kaspersky retains its title for the fastest and smallest updating service in the world and is dream.

CONCLUSION

If you are ready to spend some time teaching the firewall how to work the i’ve got four words for you-

Go & Get It

Microsoft Word 2007

Yeah…Yeah…I know I’m a little late with this one but as they say “Better late than Never”.
so to start off with office 2007, ill just give you a summary of what’s new in it in Advance-

Microsoft Word

new, results-oriented interface presents tools to you when you need them, in a clear and organized fashion:

  • Save time and get more out of the powerful Word capabilities by selecting from galleries of predefined styles, table formats, list formats, graphical effects, and more.
  • Word eliminates the guesswork when you apply formatting to your document. The galleries of formatting choices give you a live visual preview of the formatting in your document before you commit to making a change.
  • When you are working on a document from a particular template type, such as a report, you can select from a gallery of preformatted cover pages, pull quotes, and headers and footers to make your document look more polished.
  • If you want to customize the preformatted content, or if your organization often uses the same piece of content, such as legal disclaimer text or customer contact information, you can create your own building blocks that you select from the gallery with a single click.
  • New charting and diagramming features include three-dimensional shapes, transparency, drop shadows, and other effects.
  • When your company updates its look, you can instantly follow suit in your documents. By using Quick Styles and Document Themes, you can quickly change the appearance of text, tables, and graphics throughout your document to match your preferred style or color scheme.
  • Quickly compare two versions of a document
  • Remove unwanted information

  • Convert your Word documents to PDF or XPS(Master Stroke!)

  • Instantly detect documents that contain embedded macros

  • Reduce file sizes and improve corruption recovery

  • Connect your documents to business informationWord

Ok..so that was all listed in the Help file of the word program. Now when I used office 2007 on my PC there’s one thing I noticed instantly. It works like a snail on a low-end PC, so its better off with 2003 if you aren’t lucky enough to even have 512 Mb of ram(I’ve got 256…ouch!).

Barring that the new look and interface breath a new life into the word processor, it may take a little time to get used to but after an hour or two, it works like a dream. The new Ribbon style as compared to the old drop down menu style gives a lot more accessibility without much hassle, and the increased file compatibility is a sureshot winner!Another new addition to the program is the option to “Theme” your file through which you can change the look of Word itself!

Another new and exciting feature is the Smart Art option where you can add interactive tables and images to your document-

smartart

Here’s an example of how it actually looks!!!

Conclusion-

Bold and Beautiful, Definitely a must have!!!

TV not on a TV!

It’s hard to believe that there was a time when there was only one way to watch a TV show: with your television set. Your options were limited to one of three networks who dished out safe and dumbed down programming to the masses.

If this is your current situation, you might try some of the methods outlined here on how to watch TV on the computer.

1) One popular way to watch TV on the computer is to use BitTorrent networking to download a movie for free onto your PC. BitTorrent networking has been around for years and is a type of Internet peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing used to download movies and music.

In a peer-to-peer network, the file containing the movie is split up and the pieces are distributed among the different people in the network that want to download the file. Then everyone in the network supplies each other with the various missing parts that they each need until everyone has all of the parts of the file.

This process was ‘seeded’ by the person who supplied the original intact movie. Before you can download movies like this, you will have to install what is known as bitTorrent client software.

BitComet is a client software that’s been around for a while and is more than adequate for the job. Next, use a torrent search engine such as torrentz.com and enter a search query related to the movie you wish to download (like ‘Clint Eastwood’).

Then click on a search result that appeals to you. You should arrive at a page with the movie title and a ‘Download Torrent’ link or button.

Click on this and the download will commence. When the transfer is finished, it is your turn to become the ‘seed’ and to allow other users to share your complete file.

This is done simply by leaving your client software running for several hours. Note that this description is just an overview and leaves out some of the details of the process.

Be warned that it is illegal to download material with a copyright. Some people using P2P networks for illegal downloads have been prosecuted.

2) If you are interested in transferring the TV programs from your television set to your computer or laptop it can be conveniently done with a USB TV tuner. This is an external device that simply connects into your television and PC.

This external arrangement is quite different from the TV tuner card which is installed inside your PC. Signals from your TV’s output ports are transferred to the USB TV tuner input ports.

These signals are modified and sent on to the USB port of your computer. As with most USB TV tuners, the television shows can be saved to your hard drive as well as paused, rewound and fast forwarded.

Some models will also allow you to burn TV shows to DVD. The price can vary from $50 to $200.

3) A very quick method of watching TV on the computer with no learning curve or hardware is through the use of a special software download. The software gives you access to thousands of streaming TV stations directly off the Internet.

The requirements are fairly basic: a computer with high speed Internet access and a few freely available media players. Given that you probably have these basics already, the only cost is the price of the software itself, between $50 and $100.

Now that you know what’s out there and how to get it, its time to take action and try out few of these goodies for yourself. Hopefully this article has opened your eyes to the incredible entertainment opportunities available to anyone willing to take them.

Bored of this life???…Get a Second!!!


By Harshyt Goel

I’m on a holiday in Milan. It’s a lazy day: I’m shopping in a luxury supermall, after which I go for a fancy dinner. There, I meet an Italian bombshell chick. That when my mother knocks on the door, the hot chick vanishes, who my avatar met in the virtual world of Second life….www.secondlife.com
Tired of your first life? Try to get a second one. Just like I did. It’s the hottest online Virtual revolution. You get to create your own Avatar, you could be James bond, with a license to kill…or just plain you!
You could be married to anyone, and she could be the woman of your dreams (literally and legally!).Take this: millions of people around the globe have a second life - second families, second cars, girlfriends, wives and careers! The bitter truth: It’s all virtual. From the moment you click, threes a new digital continent waiting to be discovered. You could make new friends, a new family, or even do a new business. If you really like your second life. You could even buy land!! According to Secondlife.com since it has been opened, there have been 8,608,489 visitors.
The big debate is, adults are experiencing a world that doesn’t really exist. In fact, people are buying virtual clothes, cars, swords, windsurfing lessons, even lap dances! Anything! You can dance undress, giggle, gamble, stroll through art galleries, spank you loved one (or a complete stranger!).And oh yeah…you can fly!!
Because second life is the new fad, your avatar has the will to do anything. Buy, sell. Do transactions and become e millionaire. The buying currency in Second life is Linden Dollar(LindeX), and has created many real millionaires, you can Xchange LindeX for real dollars and Vice Versa. If you are in an adventurous mood, second life is just the thing for you, where you could shop, fly or teleport your avatar to anywhere in the world, using video game style graphics. If you’re in a mood to play around, you can just chat with others. Many real people work in second life to earn money: you could be a striptease artiste, lecturer, detective or casino operative. Currently there is a retail boom in “Second Life”
The success of the game is largely due to the “power and control” feeling of the game. Your avatar could be you, or someone you always wanted to be. Another definition could be- A new Market, you could buy and sell LindeX, the official Linden Lab Currency, for real currency at 250 linden dollars(L$) to the US dollar.
So, if you want a second life, that you have full control over, what are you waiting for?
