Know your Mods - ES
First in the series is English Scared AKA Saandeep, Here are the tete I have with him:
[CB]: A brief about Mod – ES?
[ES]: I am first to represent Mod’s in this KYMOD. Thanks for choosing me guys.
I am saandeep, a graduate in Electrical Engineering working as a software professional since 4.5 years, I do write short stories. I sing. I am aspiring to be an Entrepreneur.
[CB]: At one time you were one of the most enthusiastic member on CE; your per day post speed was 3 times Biggi’s speed. What motivates you so to be so enthusiastic about CE?
[ES]: I had lot of time to do so, and I loved CE the questions asked both in Quiz section and Electrical Engineering section were my favorite. I have learnt a lot and contributed more. So that answers my question about speed and enthusiasm.
[CB]: With power come the responsibilities!! Any comments and difference you saw after getting the Mod power on forum?
[ES]: I found a major difference in the way I posted replies, earlier I was not concerned on what others think of my answers or replies. But after becoming Mod I must be cautious on what I post, since mods are the one next to admin who are responsible and who represent forum (everyone represents though) but these people are much observed. (according to me)
[CB]: In Your KYCEan, and past discussion you told that CE helped you in improving your communication and public speak, do you see any difference in 2 year old novice CEan-ES and Mod CEan-ES? Any suggestions to naïve engineers will help a lot?
[ES]: You must say the answer to this question, I guess I have improved a bit in my grammar and 2 years of acquaintance taught me to think out of box and do something more than office work, which aspired me to write blogs , and which is more or less the reason behind the entrepreneur seed in me and public speaking I have improved a lot , I can feel the difference now when I talk in my training sessions.
Suggestions: Be positive on all the comments you receive, you will improve.
[CB]: One thing you want to change in CE? Please do not avoid the question.
[ES]: One thing is the quality of posts, so answering your question here we are not concerned on number of posts anytime. As per me if I look out for answers in any forum I just look for the quality of answer and correctness of it , I never looked at number of members or number of posts in that particular forum. For eg , I never looked at the number of members of sqaforum, but I browse it often to enhance my skills regarding testing tools.
[CB]: Name any 3 personalities you would like to have on CE? Why?
[ES]: a) I would like to have the creators of Volkswagen cars on CE, As you know that is a great group and the designs of their cars Audi , BMW are quite awesome, I would like to understand how they test them and design them to be that accurate.
B) I would like to have our Prime Minister on CE, if he goes to all the threads we talked about India , I am sure he will take strict measures to avoid corruption and brighten the future of India, at least we can design some product instead to be always a service based.
c) I would like to have Einstein on CE, I just love him his thesis and infact everything about him.
d) I would like to have Sachin on CE, he is inspiration to lot of people across the world, and he according to me is the living example for person achieving peaks of success because of his passion.
[CB]: Your friends call you PHYSCO
[ES]: This answer my friends answer better . Yeah they call me physco because of my attitude towards few things, I don’t just go into pubs like them instead I buy some books or photographs which makes them feel so and I am too frank which makes them feel I don’t fit in the world of normal people. I call them at 2 am or 3 am and plan for going somewhere at that point of time , infact I force them to. (We a group of 8 drove from Hyderabad to Chennai one long night just to say good bye to a friend who was travelling to US)
[CB]: Name 5 CEan’s that crossed your mind within 10 seconds(No Cheating Please) and you think are the most potential guy on the forum
[ES]: Biggie , AKD (this girl has a great future), GF( He can market us everywhere), Voltaire ( He is a genius), Bioramani ( He has vast experience which helps lot of ceans to learn things practically)
[CB]: Pardon me,
[CB]: a. If you had a fight with anyone on CE, and the person becomes inactive, what would be your next step? Had it happen in past?
[ES]: This happened in the past , I guess you know it. My next action to say sorry. I wish she come back, she was most talented and active I must say sorry to CE that , we are missing her because of me. No one can replace her. I see Java section is missing her too much.
[CB]: b. What if you un-knowingly disable any spammer (Not actually a spammer)?
[ES]: This has not happened as far as I know. I generally look out on their posts and check the links if they are purely irrelevant I ban them. I check all others posts made by that person, if that happens then I would unban them.
[CB]: c. When you have clash of thoughts with admin?
[ES]: I had clash of thoughts few times, but thinking again after sometime and looking at the bigger picture I understood his intentions. Deleting old members was the one but its of no use thinking for projection of forum which is always good for CE.
[CB]: Fun Zone
[CB]: a. You are a biker, and long drives are your hobby. Did you ever get a chance to give lift to any girl? If not, do you dream to go on a long drive with any body?
[ES]: I gave lift to one of my madam in my Engineering, It was quite memorable. No I don’t dream of going long drive with anyone.
[CB]: b. Any blooper of your Life? On CE?
[ES]: On CE the errors which I have made in English and I saw a post by you saying “I have warned him privately” , I thought it was someone. When I logged in I received a PM, that was the most embarrassing
In life, I had worked in a café (part time) when I was studying my engineering, and when my friends saw me at café and insulted at college that was not so embarrassing it made me feel so bad at that time.
[CB]: c. One thing about CEan ES, not many know on the forum?
[ES]: I am scared of hospitals and lifts.
[CB]: Quickies
[CB]: a. What would you like the most - long drive with - Girlfriend / long drive with college friends?
[ES]: (I think you will call me Physco now) I love long drives alone, I get beautiful stories and wonderful thoughts when I drive. I recently bought a music player which has recording capability such that if I get ideas I just record them.
[CB]: b. Which is a better to deal with - CEan Member / CEan Mod?
[ES]: Cean member is easy as I answered earlier I can post what I want, but being Mod I must think twice before I post anything . But I am enjoying my responsibilities.
[CB]: c. Who you admire the most - A politician / a Social Worker?
[ES]: I admire none. Politician you all know why, they are meant for corruption and a social worker is one who should work like Mother Theresa, but now-a-days a person who has 100 crores gives away some 50 lacks and gets too much of publicity which is of no use.
[CB]: Some advice for fellow CEan’s as an CE Member
[ES]: CE is awesome place, there are group of people who will be active for few months then all of sudden they become inactive , a new group begins. I ask everyone to be active , there were civil sisters who are active for few months they are awesome in Civil Engineering, I remember suggesting a friend (This friend is through my blog) to join CE as she is a civil Engineer, never know whether she has joined though.
[CB]: Lastly, advice to CEans from Mod – ES
[ES]: Do not post spam, I am fed up reading useless posts. I am going to delete threads after giving 3 warning to the posters, please take this seriously. There are many intelligent ceans who are not logging into CE because of this spam. So I think to retain good members we can delete spam.
Thanks Saandeep for all your effort for keeping CE clean and maintained. It was nice talking to you.
