Know your CEan - Suyash
Link: #-Link-Snipped-#
CEans, We all know CEan Suyash through his posts on CE Forums. CEan - Patty aka Prateek got in touch with Suyash and grilled him for "Know your CEan":
Suyash, first of all, congratulations on completing your B.Tech. You have been an active member of CE for quite a time now. We would like to learn more about you for the benefit of the future generations of CE (and for the present too!) -
Q. What are your most memorable experiences in college?
Suyash: VNIT (Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology) has indeed been a great chapter in my life which has made me what I am today and I will continue to draw inspiration from the various events that occurred with me during the wonderful four years spent here. Amongst the most unforgettable experiences in college, I can list quite a few of them: hanging out with my friends, eleventh hour exam preparations and spending quality time to continuously upgrade my technological knowhow... and of course campus placements also have been an exciting phase in the final year !!
Q. Tell us something about your Engineering Trade i.e. Metallurgy and Material Science.
Suyash: Metallurgy and Materials Science Engineering (MME) has always bought me mixed feelings (mainly due to the highly theoretical approach in some courses and some of the really advanced modern applications of the others). Nanotechnology, which will definitely be at the core of the things to come in future, promises scientific breakthroughs never imagined before. Selection of Materials has never been so crucial before, given the stringent requirements based on modern applications. My final year engineering project too gave me a very critical insight into Materials Science and it will be really great if aspiring graduates turn up their sleeves for research and development in this field.
Q. How have you planned your future now that your graduation is over?
Suyash: Despite my engineering trade, I've always found myself fascinated with the world of Computers and programming in general (which can be associated to my penchant of playing games from a young age). As a result, after being placed in Oracle India Pvt. Ltd via the campus placements, I'll be looking forward to enhance the technical skills that I learnt during my engineering curriculum to the fullest extent. I've planned to complete an MBA program affiliated with Software Enterprise Management and then return back to IT industry. Ultimately, it would be dream come true if I could be a part of an organization which deals with high end gaming development for the PC platform!
Q. Tell us about your extra curricular activities in college.
Suyash: VNIT provided me a plethora of activities to indulge into and they have been a really great source of entertainment, learning centers as well as a pathway to let the academics heat out. I have been involved in managing and organizing of Aarohi - Cultural Festival (coordinator Quiz), Axis - Technical Festival (Manager - Lan Gaming Contest) as well as being part of the college Cricket team. Besides these, I am also involved in participation of quizzes, programming contests etc.
Q. When not studying, how does Suyash Joshi kill time?
Suyash: When I am not studying (which occupies the larger section of my 24 hours) I indulge myself with reading books ranging from fictional to biographical and other great works. I also heavily pass time by playing games on my PC, which I upgraded recently to give a performance boost. But Crysis still demands more juice out of my gaming rig L. Other than that recently I've developed a keen liking for solving puzzles (began during campus placements) and of course CE and other such great sites ensure that I never get bored. Watching movies and playing Cricket with friends ensures that not a single day of my life can be labeled as a boring one![[IMG]](proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crazyengineers.com%2Fforum%2F..%2Fplugins%2Feditors%2Ftinymce%2Fjscripts%2Ftiny_mce%2Fplugins%2Femotions%2Fimages%2Fsmiley-smile.gif&hash=f29f335fc75c82c257ceaee9bc79ac1f)
Q. You shamelessly ask(ed) people (your friends) to subscribe to your blog (Time of your life). Why do you think people should read your blog & what makes you think that you are maverick - blogger?
Suyash: Ahem... I knew this one was coming![[IMG]](proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crazyengineers.com%2Fforum%2F..%2Fplugins%2Feditors%2Ftinymce%2Fjscripts%2Ftiny_mce%2Fplugins%2Femotions%2Fimages%2Fsmiley-laughing.gif&hash=d20aa96f584d1701f4cdb99f57bd0759)
. I think that in my blog I post articles based on absolutely anything, from my personal idiosyncrasies to diverse topics like sports, entertainment, computers and gaming, jokes and whacky ideas. Given the range of the crap that I post, I feel that my blog is an entertaining read for most of the people (my friends ) and hence the title "Maverick" - since I am someone who feels it's necessary to exhibit great independence in thoughts and actions. I ask(ed) people to subscribe to my blog via email so that they don't have to check my blog every now and then for a new post. Though, these days, services like Google reader serve the purpose very well, but still I feel email subscription is one of the best ways to keep your readership alive and kicking. Anyways, there is always an option of unsubscribing at a later date.
Okay here is a Rapid Question Round
Q. What do like the most about CE?
Suyash: CE - the conglomeration of crazy engineers from around the globe, gives me an opportunity to interact with some of the great brains of the world, to share ideas and actively participate in some really interesting chats about the latest path breaking technologies, scientific discussions and lets me have real fun, and most importantly, is one of the best platforms for an engineer to be himself.
Q. One thing you don't like about CE?
Suyash: Not much really. But it would be great if we can have a better participation from the elder generation of engineers (Since I feel that the majority of members on CE are youngsters like me or just about to be engineers). Having a record of the experience and wisdom of the tried and tested hands is always beneficial whenever you try to innovate or create something. But I'm sure, with the given track record, the average age of CEan's is definitely going soar real high in a matter of time.
Q. Name three CEans that you would like to meet in person
Suyash: Since I've already met Big K in my college, I feel it would be great if I get an opportunity to meet Kidakaka (hopefully in Hyderabad in the latter half of 2008), Maro (don't know when the trip to Egypt will materialize, at least in the near future) and Mahul (I'm still yet to complete the NFS MW Challenge Series dude, stuck on #61)
Q. Describe yourself in 1 word
Suyash: Maverick
Q. If not an Engineer then....
Suyash: I always wanted to be in the Indian Air Force, but certain unfortunate events made it sure that I became an engineer instead. In foresight, not a bad alternative career though.
Q. Your best achievement till date
Suyash: Campus Placement in Oracle India Pvt. Ltd.
Q. Your most embarrassing moment
Suyash: Scoring negative marks in Data Interpretation in one of the Mock CAT (Common Admission Test). That was a rare blunder though, which only happens when you give an exam in a sleepy state.![[IMG]](proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crazyengineers.com%2Fforum%2F..%2Fplugins%2Feditors%2Ftinymce%2Fjscripts%2Ftiny_mce%2Fplugins%2Femotions%2Fimages%2Fsmiley-embarassed.gif&hash=af0e6200d6e4b69324cd22a6d0756dd3)
Q. One thing you would like to change about yourself
Suyash: It seems that the world wants me to be less impulsive in doing things the haphazard way, to think for a moment more before taking that last step, since I believe in the "never-fret-about-anything-ever" policy. Of course, I'm still trying to work on it.
Q. One thing you wish you would have invented or discovered
Suyash: It would be great, (and it's high time) if someone works with me to find a shielding material for the obstruction of disasters caused by nuclear radiations emitted by atomic bombs.
Q. Suyash is a Crazy Engineer because:
Suyash: There's no point in living life the ordinary way. And to obtain extra ordinary results, you have to be crazy enough to venture into that unexplored territory. Believe me, it's really a wonderful combo to be an engineer and be crazy to think about seemingly impossible ideas and to actually put them into action.
Patty: It was a pleasure talking to you and getting to know you better. Have a nice day and a great life ahead. And enjoy your vacations.
Suyash: Thanks for providing me space in "Know your CEan" section on CE. It's been a real pleasure to be a part of CE.

I guess CE's the best place where you can interact with people on such topics. Who know, maybe we all will convert your ideas into reality one day.The_Big_KLink: #-Link-Snipped-#

I wish you all the best, Suyash. Do spread the word about CE in Hyderabad 😉
PS: Kidakaka - you've a new gaming partner now. How about participating in gaming contests as Team CE? 😉 -
Ashraf HZGood interview!
Hopefully you can work with other CEans here on the atomic shielding project 😉 -
suyash
Thanks everyone !!The_Big_KI guess CE's the best place where you can interact with people on such topics. Who know, maybe we all will convert your ideas into reality one day.
It would be really great if one day CE, indeed shares the center stage for being a part of solutions for the vital problems faced by us.
As far as what ash said, I'm totally game for starting a discussion related to atomic shielding, but will have to delay the good cause by a week due to a long awaited trip with friends. In the mean time, if anyone starts it, it will be good as well ! -
suyashAnd of course, naming the gaming team after CE would put tremendous responsibility on us fickle part time gamers , don't you think so Biggie??
but nice idea, none the less !! -
mahulNice knowhow about Suyash.
Nice to know that you are interested in meeting up with me, i'm honoured.
I do hope that u move ahead with NFS MW 😀 -
just2rockWe never know that so many talents are their...but only its the person who find them out...here its CE...so wish many more interesting fellows to catch up with innovations that i bear to share and can smoothlly with such guys ...am iI right BigGIE?
iam impressed:smile: -
Kaustubh KatdareWatch out for CEan Patty 😉 . He hovers over the forums and haunts CEans 😁 He may get in touch with anyone of you soon.
-
Mayur PathakOh Cool. By the way biggie, we had conducted few other interviews under this banner as well. Where are they?
Can we not have a K.Y.CEan archive? -
Kaustubh KatdareAll interviews are available here -
#-Link-Snipped-#
Patty will be doing more of these on regular basis. -
Mayur PathakOh yes. I missed it.
Time to make some additions on it. Patty are you reading?
You are reading an archived discussion.
