The Drizzle of Her Thoughts

I am just like him, he is just like my synonym

When I’m excited, he always quickly reacted

My life reminds me a missed dream, his interest unfolds like a tidal stream.

Friends for me are passing clouds, but his charisma shows no bounds

I’m like slow drizzling rain and he busts like a morning sun shine

My thoughts swing back and forth in dilemma and his actions appears like an enigma.

I’m surrounded by many with attitude and he appears to be lost in Solitude

I’m grounded in reality with a mind of explorer and he is always looking like a Crazy wanderer

I love wearing some exotic cloths of fashion and he loves writing with Passion

My mind always racing to reveal that love is fertile for which he unfolds himself with an artistic style

My Life passes leaving behind the beautiful moment and his always clasp for another enjoyment

My mind is controlling when the heart is revealing but his every action and move are sizzling.

The shadow of his presence is always with me and his wait for the glory arrived with a glee

Within him the memories of the time is like a stream and within me I felt that I am just like him

Now or never. You decide your fate

If you’re young and ambitious and driven, don’t run from the challenge, run towards it. If you’re terrified of learning something new, go find a way to learn and master it. When you are a student and young you have loads of energy and enough time for learning as much as possible. You won’t stay young for ever and student life won’t stay with you for ever. You spend so much time having fun during college that you miss this vital point, that once you are out of college you are on your own to find a job and succeed in career. Campus interviews may give a job for some but that is the worst job with low pay and high pressure to handle.Those students who are smart enough realize the value of time and work towards their goals early on and once they are ready they also look for jobs they like to do in LinkedIn , twitter and Facebook other than campus interviews.

Life is full of temptations and distractions. When you are young you will have more opportunities to waste time, money and your youthfulness.

Start using your mind on what matters most for your life and for your family.Fate is not decided by anyone. It is you who can decide what is best for you and your family.  Time is precious and need to be spend wisely.  One of the best practice you need to develop is to check how you spent your day and what value you derived from all the activities you did during the day. Spending time on  Facebook, twitter or games or chatting or going to movies should be restricted otherwise it will  only add more junk in to your precious mind.  Networking with professionals , spending time to know yourselves , your strengths, your weaknesses and becoming mindful of all your activities will give you enough mental strength, knowledge and courage to find what you love to do for your career. Positive habits help you with clarity of thoughts when you need direction and guidance to succeed in life. Think of your parents, teachers and friends who you should trust for guidance and work hard to learn skills needed for you to succeed.  You may not love it while you’re going through the learning phase, but you’ll carry that learning and success with you  for ever. Once you achieve what you are aspiring for then you will have wonderful life. May be you will be  visiting exotic places and working on some wonderful and challenging assignments.

In order to have quality life, good food and good life you need to work for  it and  prove that you are eligible for good life.

I worked for that and I succeeded and i want you to succeed too.

You can start with small positive actions such as reading for a hour a day something new, doing yoga /meditation for a while etc and as days pass by they become your habits and you will be in a position to control your life and lead a life rather than living a life.

Similarly for getting rid of bad habits you should start with small attempts and then slowly  get rid of that bad habit  completely after some time.

Steps to protect your Facebook account

Recently I saw many students circulating a link that appears to be a spam regarding free recharge to their mobile. This made me write this blog to help students to avoid falling prey to such tricks and their Facebook page getting hacked.

Here are the steps to secure your Facebook account.

1. Go to your Account Settings. Click the Security icon on the left and select Secure Browsing and press EDIT on the right.  Put a checkmark in the box next to “Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possible.” Click Save Changes
2. 
3. Enable login notification.  Click on the login notifications and check the check box for email. This will alert you when your Facebook account has been accessed from a new device.  If somebody who isn’t you is accessing your account, you’ll get an email.
4. 
5. Change your password early and often.  First don’t have a single password for every online account you have.  Your password should be at least 6 digits or more; should contain a mixture of letters, digits, punctuation and both capital and lowercase letters. Here is a smart way of remembering and  creating passwords  https://skillsnest.wordpress.com/2010/04/20/simple-ways-of-remembering-passwords/

https://skillsnest.wordpress.com/2011/04/01/how-to-identify-spam-emails/

If you see weird posts (free recharge of mobile phones etc) and messages on your Facebook page that you didn’t put there, that means somebody hacked or guessed your password. First step in the recovery process is to change your password immediately.  Make sure your email account is safe but if someone already hacked your email account also then you should not use that email account as your primary email account on Facebook. Click above links to know how to create a secure password.

Be careful with scams and links from friends.

When people on Facebook send you links don’t click on the link blindly. Scammers can hijack your account if you click “Like button” or ” Comment”  on unknown links sent by your friends. For example: The bogus “Remove facebook time line scam”  http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/remove-facebook-timeline-themed-scam-circulating-on-facebook/9989?tag=search-results-rivers;item0

OR recharge cell phone scam now circulating. Clicking “comment” or “Like” on that;  one could allow the scammer to hijack your account.

When your Facebook account is hacked or compromised,  hackers can hack your friends accounts also by sending misdirecting links  to your friends accounts. These could be in the form of wall to wall posts, mass private messages, or even chat communications. Be mindful of any of your friends sending these kind of links. Instead of clicking on the links that your friends sent copy and paste that link in Google.com, bing.com etc  and click search. That will allow you to know if that link is secure or fake. .

Stop trusting Apps.

I see many students using birthday apps, astrology apps etc but many are bad and should be avoided. By using apps you are allowing the apps developer access your account information and private data. They can do anything with your information. They may guess your password or send you some malicious (Nasty ) links

Fake Facebook webpages.

Make sure you type the URL of the Facebook page correctly otherwise your typing mistakes can take you to a fake Facebook page. These fake login pages are usually a near perfect copy of Facebook’s actual login page. Another trick hacker uses is when you successfully logged to real Facebook page,  another login screen link appears and you accidently clicked on that malicious link or application and re-enter your user id and password.   If you are using a fake Facebook page then unknowingly you share your Facebook login details with hackers. To identify the fake Facebook page look at the URL of the page on the top. Although hackers can make exact copies of the actual login page, they are unable to use the same URL. Whenever you login too, or are asked to re-login to Facebook, you should always make sure that the URL is always http://www.Facebook.com. A common way hackers deceive people is by having a URL that may appear to be the same but is in fact slightly different. For Example: http://www.Faccbook.cm or http://www.FacBook.com(please don’t click on this links)

Antivirus and security software.

Don’t log in to Facebook or emails, bank accounts on a computer you don’t know. Make sure that you have adequate security software – anti-virus, anti-malware  software up to date. Most of the PC’s you access in public places, colleges are NOT secure and may have viruses or key loggersoftware to steal your password. There will be key logger software’s (when you type user id/passwords they will be sent to hackers machines) or remote access Trojan (RAT)  on computers that are not up to date on anti-virus and anti-malware security and all your personal information is available for hackers to misuse it..

Don’t confirm any unknown as your friend.

It’s tempting to have many friends on Facebook and all of us will get the occasional unsolicited friend request from someone we don’t quite recognize. Connecting with people is what Facebook is all about;  which hackers love so much and it’s perfectly fine to accept these requests but you should immediately contact that person or do a little research on their profile , photos, timeline to figure out if  they are real or fake,  having any unobjectionable comments, semi/nude photos etc. and if so then unfriend them immediately .

Another trick hackers use is to send fake friend requests. Facebook has measures in place to allow users who lose or forget their Password and secret answer to recover their account with the help of three of their “trusted friends”.

To gain access to your account, all a hacker needs to do is pretend like you and send request to your trusted friends requesting your account password and secret answer. Once they have access to that information they can reset your accounts password.  After a 24 hour freeze out period following the password reset, the hacker is able to have full access to your account.

Facebook use on your mobile phone (sourced from online forums)

It is becoming increasingly more popular for Facebook users to access their accounts via their mobile phones, with many mobile phone service providers even offering free access to Facebook as part of their service. Although smart phones and free access makes it easier for users to check their Facebook accounts it may also be making it easier for hackers to hack their accounts. In many countries, the network signal provided by service providers is not encrypted, so hackers have the ability to access the data that flows between the mobile and mobile operator with relative ease. They can gain access to all of the information that the user is sending out and is receiving.

Facebook messages can wait till you reach your home and use your computer, otherwise always check to see if you service provider offers an encrypted network signal.

Cheers, tears and Campus life

Academic year is in full swing.  The exciting campus interviews are happening, bringing back cheers,tears nervousness and tension for getting that dream job right away. There are several seminars, events and speakers like us who come to university and colleges to give insight into various subjects to prepare you to ever changing corporate culture. These needs to be balanced between fun, frolic, movies and gossiping and enjoying student life to it’s fullest.

Busy student life, right?

While these and many events that happen in campus and other colleges are part of your life, one important thing is missing in all these actions.  That is analyzing, collecting and grouping the knowledge and experiences gained and documenting them so that you can refer it as needed.  How much did you network with a successful professional who came to your college to speak?.  If you did that once or twice do you think that is sufficient for you to succeed in life. Networking with accomplished persons helps you to reach your goals.

Let me give you some guidelines on how best you can maximize  your cheers while eliminating tears by wasting away time and fighting on petty issues between friends. Ego  and infighting between classmates is a major hurdle in learning and enjoying life to it’s fullest during college days together. Life is too short to do that and college life is very very short to waste in petty things and ego clashes.

1. Form a student team from various departments.  Teams should focus on gathering useful information from various seminars, making sure their classmates are sent to competitions,help in networking with professionals  and conduct useful seminars successfully themselves. They should also do post analysis of campus interview successes and failures to help themselves and others. For example : What was done differently? What new patterns or innovations did you notice in the campus interview or seminars or lectures from experts etc.  And most importantly, what new ways of learning — individually or collectively — should be continued?   How can you take advantage of technology tools? What skills you all  still need to develop? What else is new in the events?
2. Identify the most common causes of some of the failures of the candidates who did not get thru the campus interviews and start focusing on that skills sets companies are looking for.
3. Recently many collages are busy conducting events. One example is recent colors festival in Aditya engineering colleges followed by competitions and power point presentations on various subject matters  Other colleges are also having similar events and many of you participated or enjoyed these events. These events give you valuable lessons on team skills such as co ordination, hosting, communications, website development, marketing, presenting, conducting events successfully, getting media attentions etc. If you are smart there is so much to observe and learn from these events. Did you think of all these or just had fun and now ready for another event?

So Life offers much more than what we experience. What is most important is that you should be more observant and have a keen eye on what you can learn from anybody or anything that happens in your day. We have to hone up our skills of observation and analyzing powers. Imagination is a key factor in bringing the impossible to possibility and there is no boundaries that can stop you from imagining what is best for you , and to our nation.  Working smartly and with focus to reach your goals is a must.  We need to build this nation together to be the best on the planet.

I expect all of you to be smart and different and show to the world that you can be counted to be one among the best.    Good luck to you all.
