DREAMS narrates the journey in life. It deals with a painful journey that makes one into a great star. But the achievement comes with a bitter lesson: when you get into the top, you realize that there is no one who is truly yours – that’s a price you pay for being ‘star’.

Do you know that your path can wind, go over hills,
through dales and glens, pass through sleepy hollows,
cross rivers and oceans and babbling brooks?
Know you that it can go under the sea, over the sea,
or perhaps to the other side of the moon? How will you
know if you are on the  right path? When you've a
smile on your face; when what you're doing makes you
HAPPY.
The right path is wherever you are happy. And if the
path has a fork in the road and you have an option ,
and neither one makes you happy, and you're confused,
do not make a decision.
Do not! Stand there with a smile on your face, right
where you are, and allow the confusion to subside. It
won't take a century, only moments.

Never make a decision when you are confused. Allow the
answer to come.
When you ALLOW it, the path will become clear because
it will FEEL good.
It may not be right for others, but it will be for
you. Understand?"

Writing Attractive Resumes

A resume is an advertisement, a selling agent through which you present your self as an obvious choice to your future employer. Make claims about your abilities, qualities and achievements. Show yourself a perfect fit for the company.

To write an effective resume you should focus on the employers specific needs. You should set yourself a truly exceptional candidate for the position. With your resume the employer will visualize how serious you are yourself and the job you are eyeing for. Bring out a topnotch resume so that employer can glance how successful you will be in the new position. Your resume should inspire the prospective employer to set forth an interview.

Be specific to the job title and the employer's specific needs. Before writing the resume get clear what the employer is looking for. If this is your dream job highlight your professional skills. Describe the most relevant skills and experience you have for this position. Describe the jobs you held before. Don't just provide information. Provide enough evidence for your claims. Make the reader excited while he or she goes thru your resume. Project yourself as the best product for their money.

The elements of your resume

Personal Information:

Include your name, contact address, telephone numbers and e-mail.

The Objective:

Your resume should have a clearly stated objective, which makes you standout as a truly exceptional candidate for the specific job. Do not use fluffy, vague and broad statements even though you are not clear about your target. This gives the employer a sense that you are not sure this is the job for you. Decide a specific job title for the objective. Make sure you are up to the point. If you are not sure about the job, craft separate resume for each one. There is nothing wrong in doing so. Clearly stating your objective you are telling the employer you are seriously thought about the job and have a positive work attitude and you are well prepared for the job.

The Summary:

You should have a very strong and convincing summary that highlight you best among the other candidates for this position. Briefly describe your professional expertise, unique skills and accomplishments. You can also describe your appropriate personal characteristics here. Give a clear picture to the employer why you are the best to untangle the issues they have and how the company benefits from your presence.

Accomplishments & carrier experience:

List your major skills and what you accomplish using that in the chronological order. Highlight the relevant ones for the job you are looking is demanding.

Professional Experience:

Focus on the most recent jobs. If you have a long list of jobs bring attention to the most relevant ones. For the rest just give the job title you were holding or Summarize them into a paragraph in which you are explaining all you did. On the other hand if you don’t have a very good job history try to bring out the volunteer work or small jobs you have done for supporting your education. No matter what job you did. All it counts is the experience you have. Also don’t forget to give the Dates for each job. It is good idea not to provide the months until a job title is held for months. Also try not to leave gaps in between. Say what you were doing in between.

Education History:

List your Education in chronological order.

References

Don’t include actual reference name. Reference requests are made when there is actual hiring interest. Just write “ Reference available upon request” .

Additional Information:

This is an optional title. You may include a variety of information under this title such as
Publications, personal Interests, volunteer Experience, Leadership roles etc.

Appearance matters:

Write briefly and clearly. Write in professional tone. A two-page resume is always better than a tone of paper.
Your resume should be formatted appropriately. It should look good both electronically as well as on paper. Try to avoid fancy layouts. Make sure it looks good in recipient’s end too. Try to see your resume in different browsers.

Be consistent with the use of italics, boldfaces, bullets etc.

Check your resume for content and spelling before you send it off.

Try to use powerful action words like accomplished/ achieved/ customized/ constructed/ Organized/ Restored

Your resume should be a well organized, well presented, easy to read piece of advertisement and should convey the message “Hire me. I am the best product”. Bring out you have a strong commitment to the job and you will well fit into the organization. Also make sure that the employer will get the message that you are worth for the money they are paying.

Garbage Collection

The Automatic memory management .NET frameworks Garbage Collector manage allocation and release of memory for our application. (Hey do you know, Application memory is divided in Stack and Heap).Garbage collector is a low priority thread under normal circumstances. When memory becomes limited, Garbage collector becomes high priority and release memory automatically. But we do not actually know when Garbage Collector does the job.

Finalize, Dispose, Destructor

I hope, by this time all of you is aware of the term MANAGED and UNMANAGED. For the majority of the managed objects garbage collection will work almost close to perfection. But when you create object that encapsulate unmanaged resources (Egs:-file,network connection) garbage collector does not have specific knowledge about how to clean up the resources and here comes Object. Finalize method. By default Finalize method does nothing. You must override Finalize method to work’s# provide destructors as the simplified mechanism for writing finalization code. Destructors automatically generate a Finalize method and a call to the base class's Finalize method.

The following code example is written for a destructor.

This code implicitly translates to the following.

The garbage collector keeps track of objects that have Finalize methods, using an internal structure called the Finalization queue. Each time your application creates an object that has a Finalize method, the garbage collector places an entry in the finalization queue that points to that object. The finalization queue contains entries for all the objects in the managed heap that need to have their finalization code called before the garbage collector can reclaim their memory.

Using FInalize methods or destructor can have a negative impact on performance.Reclaming memory using Finalize method require two garbage collections.(So you should prevent users of your application from calling an objects Finalize method by settin its scope to protected)

To properly release  unmanaged resources,it is recommended to implement Dispose or Close method.A Dispose method should call the GC.SuppressFinalize method for the object it is disposing. If the object is currently on the finalization queue, GC.SuppressFinalize prevents its Finalize method from being called. Remember that executing a Finalize method is costly to performance. If your Dispose method has already done the work to clean up the object, then it is not necessary for the garbage collector to call the object's Finalize method.

Dispose(bool disposing) executes in two distinct scenarios. If disposing equals true, the method has been called directly or indirectly by a user's code and managed and unmanaged resources can be disposed. If disposing equals false, the method has been called by the runtime from inside the finalizer and only unmanaged resources can be disposed

For implementing a close method,just call Dispose without any parameter

You can have a control over GarbageCollector by calling the collect method of GC class
GC.COllect method.But you should avoid calling collect method and allow GarbageCollector to run.Before GarbageCollector perform a collection it suspends all currently executing threads.

There I found a joke like this ,its really conceptual

i was going thru a data structure book and in the chapter of dynamic
information structures , i got this story, pretty interesting, so i am
typing it here for you.

the story tells a man who describes the misery of his life in the
following words:-

" I married a widow who had a grown-up daughter. my father, who visited us
quite often, fell in love with my step daughter and married her. hence, my
father became my son-in-law, and my step-daughter became my mother. some
months later, my wife gave birth to a son, who became the brother in law
of my father as well as my uncle.
The wife of my father, tht is my step daughter, also had a son. thereby, i
got a brother and at the same time a grandson. my wife is my grandmother,
since she is my mother's mother. hence, i am my wife's husband and at the
same time her step-grandson; in other words, i am my own grandfather. "
i guess thats why we don't have pointer in Java...

A friend is someone to behold, to laugh with and chat with, when warm or cold, someone to comfort you when you're blue, to talk about the old and new. One has many acquaintances in life, but when there is sorrow or strife, a friend is someone who will understand, to lend an ear or a helping hand. It matters not where you are, whether you are near or far, around the world or across the street, a friend is someone we like to meet. So when life's little troubles get you down, try to smile, do not frown, turn on the computer, or pick up the phone, with friends, you are never alone.

 

That the friend I need...............
