I am writing this not to show my love or hatred against anyone. But, to express the truth. If any student/teacher finds my words/views/expressions offensive then feel free to drop your views.

Guest faculties at CTAE are not visiting faculties from other colleges. But, they are fresh college graduates of engineering (B.E. / B. Tech.). 

Dear Sir/Madam,

We, the last benchers, absentees, students with backlogs or so called “ignorant and failure” students are not so. Not attending class doesn’t mean that we are ignorant, care less or we don’t respect you. We respect you just like we respect any other teacher/elder in this world.

The reason for not attending the classes could be different. One major reason which is common to all of us is that when you are reading out books, it doesn’t really mean teaching. We do the same on the last day of our mid-sems and sems and score pretty well. [Read more...]

3 Things I don’t like about PVR

pvr-cinemaToday, I was planning to take my 9-year-old sister for recently released movie “Tin Tin” and since, PVR Cinema is about 8kms from my home, I thought it would be better to get my tickets online or by phone. I tried using both of these facilities and all I got was disappointment. Their IVR, Internet Booking and even the website is a complete failure in the name of a brand and services.

Here is a list of things that disappointed me and will of course disappoint anyone else who try to use these facilities:

1. Inaccessible Website:

pvrcinemas1

 

In today’s world when almost all the websites are accessible with or without using “www” before the domain name, pvrcinemas.com doesn’t work. You don’t believe? Try clicking this link http://pvrcinemas.com and now try http://www.pvrcinemas.com [Read more...]

new-ut

Nearly a year back on 25 Sept 2010 we changed the look of UT and if you remember, we said that time “change to anything freshens up the mind and thoughts”

Today, after a year, we are back again to freshen up all your reading experience on UT with another string of up-gradation, unlike the last design, this new look will help you to find more interesting news and articles, all in the front page without that long scrolling down.

I apologies to all of you for any inconvenience you have faced or still facing or might get few more in coming 1-2 days while browsing UT.

I also request you to keep pouring your suggestions, ideas or if you don’t like anything in this new design by commenting or mailing us.

Thanks Giving: This new design could not be possible without the help of a very good friend of ours Talib  who is a web developer and programmer and also a regular UT reader.

In times when I was busy in my studies, college projects and travelling, Talib was the one who coded and customized many features of new UT. While giving the final touch I am thankful to our founder and chief editor Zaheer Abbas who as usual worked hard in ‘thinking’ day and night.

At last but not least, it’s all our readers, subscribers, friends and colleagues who keep the ball rolling and I wish the ball continues to roll.
