A Tamil student... ( Sorry Mr.G.U.Pope)

Yup.. Its me, believe.
The victim is my colleague kiran, Fuel cell expert. This chap is good at learning tamil quickly. Nonetheless, Hez from vjwada.

Though we have lots of work, we two used to amuse ourself under the esteemed supervision of Anand-san (He ignites everything). We make our office hours very interesting and exciting simply by ottify-ing everyone at our office. Even to our President(India & US Operations) - No clemency.

I normally, teach him some tamil terms. Whatever we prattle, what we do more often, Kiran grasps and cogitates it. He will not stop there-But he improvises it and reverts back to us. Once i told him, the Tamil counterpart for Baby is Kuzhandhai. His out-of-the-box thinking lead to the invention of a Tamil term for Chicken - Kozhi Kuzhandhai.
And Ezhilni for tender coconut. He scolds (especially me) pichakaara paambu - This also, is one of his invention.

Sometimes, he hears to juntas chat and without confirming he starts using some words, which ultimately ends up in clowning. Consequently, he'll get caught by us. He sometimes casually say - muka man neram (Ya.. He means 45 mins..) - nalla irukku - The fact is he doesn't know that the exact words are mukkaal mani neram & Nandraga irukkiradhu. Then i taught him some slang and their originals. After that, he sometimes corrects us while using such slang.

Recently, we taught him the brahmin slang, which our man (manager) often uses. Now he has reached a good level; After running some simulations and getting the results, he says simulation panrachha result nandraga vandhuduthuuuu....

Enna koduma sir...!!!

Crazy filenames...

After pretty long time, Got a while to blog.
I, perhaps you too, often wonder at the names of files and folders created by ppl.
Especially, in my office - It will be too crazy. The thing is, Even, top management ppl use to christen the files and folders in a crazy manner. I've come across many such instances and wanted to share.

I noticed a file named book_got_from_net.pdf inside the folder books. Further, empty.odp, which contained nothing. :-)

We deal with modeling and simulation of physical systems. I wonder at the model names too.
Tank_Pipe_Tank.mo - It is a model of a hydraulic system which contains a pipe in between two tanks. It deserves, right!!!???
Now you can understand the model named - Tank_Orifice_Pipe_Hose_Pipe_Orifice_Tank.mo !!!

After simulating the models, we need to store the result files. We simulate for an array of experimental conditions. So, for each result file, how we name?
Direct_AtoA_WithMass1000kg_damp100_force70N_L745mm.mat
Hope you don understand.
This represents a test case result at the specified parametric conditions. Direct means a direct connection between two hydraulic cylinder and AtoA means acceleration to acceleration.

I used to laugh at these names.
If you understand, you too, will.
