Know Your CEan - Cranky

CEan Cranky - Male or Female? Studying or Working? Don't know? Hmm Hence CrazyEngineers came up with a very Good Interview with #-Link-Snipped-# to let you know about her. Cranky is one of our CE Maniacs who has contributed about 130+ valuable posts to CE. CEan - Cranky aka Srinithi Srinivasan is a Final year Electrical Engineering Student and a very busy person( I didn't said she is a lazy person ). She likes playing tennis and ping pong, annoying people, getting randomly involved in a healthy argument and try convincing people, occasionally quiz, solve cube(or rather show off that i know to solve cube), follow cricket matches ,anything and everything except acads . I am very very glad to present her words here...

Pallavi : Hi Srinithi, you are a Crazy Electrical Engineer, tell us more about yourself.
Cranky : Hey thanks a lot for featuring me on KYCEAN!!(i still don't believe it)..I am doing my bachelors final year<dance dance ? > at National Institute of Technology, Trichy.One lazy person desperately hoping to be inspired @the rest:The very first line pallavi wrote to me in her mail was"Please don't show your laziness here " and I have already delayed replying back by much beyond the deadline.(Really sorry for that).and apart from that I like math and organizing events<like for coll>

Pallavi : How did you get introduced to CrazyEngineers (CE)?
 Cranky : CrazyEngineers was by accident.I was looking for some concept.And someone had posted the same doubt I had. When I started looking through the site,I was very excited to see the enthusiasm and passion the members had and how they helped each other.I had no reason not to join.

Pallavi : Why did you take up this particular engineering trade? What do you like the most about it?
Cranky : I was in a fix in the counseling.I was certain I wanted a circuital branch<general liking >I had the choice to do comp sci.But somehow,I was convinced to take electrical.But I have no regrets.I am enjoying the hardware and architecture aspects which I realise I might not have in software.

Pallavi : What is your favorite pass time?
 Cranky : sleep eat play

Pallavi : Who are your idols or inspirations?
 Cranky : I don't have idols/role models as such cause I believe everyone has something good and something bad to offer.Family and friends have been my major inspirations.I am BIG fan of sachin and RF.

Pallavi : What is the biggest achievement in your life so far?
 Cranky :What!! Are you kidding me(now don't make me name few subjects that i passed to name as my major achievements!!).I will answer this soon.Just give me a few years

Pallavi : You are a very good Tennis player, Please share some of your unforgettable moments of your Tennis journey!
Cranky : Waities!I am not a very good tennis player(thanks a lot for praising btw )I just enjoy playing tennis. The very first match I played way back in school,I was trashed 6-0,6-1.At one point,I just stood by side and let my opponent serve.And in college,we had a hard struggle getting proper courts in our coll(six years!!)and finally we have synthetic ones.We have won a couple of tournaments and each one have been mind blowing,lesson teaching experiences

Pallavi : You have started one #-Link-Snipped-# on our CE-Labs Section, Hows your experience working with our CEans?
Cranky : That one was one major help I got.My first thread if I am right.It really helped me.Thanks to english_scared,biggie,ash(majorly),lal,kashish,rohan,silenthorde,aj_onduty and all others who helped. I was able to learn and also implement something concrete.

Pallavi : Tell us any 3 things that annoy you the most?
 Cranky : 1.Corruption,dishonesty,betrayal,people who can't stand for themselves
2.No calls returned from sister
3.Sharing my food(i am ready to buy a new one for others but DON'T touch my food)

Pallavi : You have a dream to play tennis for your country in the center court of Wimbledon! Can we get a chance to say Sania, Saina, Srinithi.... How will you feel that day?
Cranky : That would be splendid!!(but i warn you,tennis referees can be very annoying..they keep saying"silence")To play for my country,to see the crowd stand for our anthem.?

Pallavi : In Olden days, discussions on CE were more focused on engineering & technology. Do you think that the focus has shifted a bit to more general topics than engineering? How can we bring back more technical discussions and also get our old-timers back to actively participate on CE? (Biggie, I apologize for asking your question).
 Cranky : That's true.there were more tech discussions then.<but CE is great as ever>.My take would be,have more competitions or challenges <like certain set of questions> and reward people.Biggie hope you are hearing.

Pallavi : Do you want to construct a Tennis court?
 Cranky : yeah.I have heard a lot of people,especially mid aged people say,I wish I played tennis atleast once. I want to make that happen. These days, we have a lot of clubs coaching children or just clubs for adults,but not clubs to coach elders.Those who want to start out when not in their youth days(its never late to learn anything new!).Or those who want to play cause they have passion to learn even after they start to work and enter their busy schedule.<wait!!how many of you are interested if i start one,special offer for ceans>

Pallavi : By seeing all these, I couldn't stop myself asking this question; How did u get into the tennis?
Cranky : Oh god!!This is slightly embarrassing but I will go on and narrate. My mother used to spend a lot of time and effort during my school days to wake me up every morning.my parents figured out that if they put me in some sport,i will get up.And the only one nearby(like next compound) was tennis.And voila,i start playing tennis.The classes used to begin at 6:00 am and yet,I used to turn up only at 6:45 am .Eventually,I shifted to evening classes



 Pallavi : What changes you found in yourself before and after joining CE?
 Cranky : CE has offered me a lot-in terms of thinking in various perspective,relating different branches and also a general idea about different branches of engineering. Each time I come across something I don't know, I have always followed the thread.I am mostly a silent spectator cause most of the times,I don't know the subject!!But totally,it has been an amazing exposure



Pallavi : You are a Very Old CEan, joined, active, left, again came back! What made you to do so?
 Cranky : I never left CE!!The only reason I was inactive was cause of connectivity issues.Otherwise,CE has been one of the few sites I open as soon as I start my browser.

Pallavi : If you are given a chance to take a role in CE, what would you like to have and What would you do for CE?
 Cranky : I want to intern at Ce someday!!<BIGGIE i hope you are listening?>

Pallavi : What do you like the most about CE and Why?
 Cranky : Like I already mentioned,I like the passion,enthusiasm and share of knowledge.
