LUCKY CHARMS


HIT THE BULL’S EYE“HOW TO SOUND

SMARTER”

IN THESE DAYS OF TEXTING,Twitter and “1daful” brevity, wouldbeing grammatically correct andusing English elegantly matter whenyou speak, e-mail or apply for a job?So watch out for these common slips.

LOGIC & USAGE

YOU DON’T MEAN: bachelorsdegree

YOU ALWAYS MEAN: bachelor’sdegree

WHY: Even people with degrees getthis wrong. It’s not a plural. It’s adegree that is possessed by anindividual who earned it. Theapostrophe indicates possession(Tommy’s supper; Jack’s pail). Andthere’s just one person owning it, sodon’t write bachelors’. Don’t writeBachelor’s of Arts degree either. It’s aBachelor of Arts [Science,Engineering, etc.] degree.

YOU SAY: way back in 2013

YOU MEAN: (back) in 2013

WHY: Way back means a long wayback in time. Yet even somenewspaper reports say things like“way back in 2013…” That would fit ifwe were insects that lived for just fora few weeks. There’s no definedminimum number of years requiredfor choosing this term, but “way backin the 1950s” or “way back when I wasa boy” would sound quite right.

YOU DON’T MEAN: late Mr Patel

YOU MEAN: the late Mr Patel

WHY: If you said “late Mr Patel” youcould be implying that the dead manwas unavoidably delayed and mightwalk in at any minute. This is

probably the most common errorfound in our wedding cards. Its fine tosay Mrs. Patel’s late husband (no the)but you must have the late before thename of the departed soul. Also thelate…. Should ideally describesomeone who died fairly recently—lately. Even so, it’s all right to add,say, “grandson of the late Mr. ArvindPatel” in a wedding card, even ifArvindji died way back in 1948.

YOU DON’T MEAN: my salary isvery less

YOU ALWAYS MEAN: my salary isvery low

WHY: “Less” is mostly used tocompare one amount with anotherand is usually followed by than. Evenso, this line “Investors’ appetite forequity is very less…” actuallyappeared in a top business newspaperin June. Some idioms with less are notto be followed by than: less and less;no less; less is more. And be equallycareful with lesser. Saying “lesserthan” (instead of “less than”) wouldbe about as bad as saying “morerthan.” Lesser is best saved forphrases like lesser degree; lessermortals; a lesser woman, lesser-known artist; the lesser of two evils.Lesser is also used to describe aspecies that is smaller than othersimilar types, as with “the lessergoldfinch.”

PAINFUL PLURALS

YOU DON’T MEAN: I have takenmany leaves

YOU ONLY MEAN: I have been onleave many times

WHY: Although certain humanresources (HR) departments, toohave started wrongly using “leaves”in memos and interviews, you’d leavea sorry image if you said so. Leave,when it means “days when you areallowed to be away from work,” is

best left like that be it for one day ormany. Otherwise you’d be pluckingleaves off a tree.

YOU DON’T MEAN: we boughtsome furnitures

YOU ALWAYS MEAN: we boughtsome furniture

WHY: Furniture is both singular andplural just like sheep, equipment,aircraft, deer, fish (although fishes isright for different kinds of fish just likepeoples is sometimes used to coverraces or nationalities), offspring andseveral other such words. For moreon this, Google irregular Englishplurals.

YOU DON’T MEAN: I’m an AITSalumni

YOU MEAN: I’m an AITS alumnus

WHY: Alumnus, like several otherwords that came from Latin, can beconfusing. Alumnus is the singular,and the word refers only to a formermale student of a school or university.A lady would be an alumna, and thefeminine plural used to be alumnae.But alumni is accepted collectively forboth men and women. Watch out forother words from Latin like data andaddenda (already plural, so don’t say“datas” and “addendas”).

YOU DON’T MEAN: With regards toyour work ….

YOU MEAN: as regards your work….

WHY: Regards is used to conveygood wishes, as in “Give our regardsto Auntie” or when signing off a letter“with kind regards.” But “as regards”means concerning something orsomebody, much like “with regardto.” Even so, “with regards to yourwork” is getting increasinglyacceptable, especially on account ofits wide use in North America.


AVOID SUCH IRRITANTS

YOU DON’T MEAN: basis ourdiscussion

YOU ALWAYS MEAN: on the basisof our discussion

WHY: Simply because it’s in everyother office memo there’s no reasonto accept it. Using it means you’ll givethe impression that you’ve learnt yourEnglish from semi-literate memosrather than from good books. Basisshould have some basis in grammar.Use: “on the basis of yourqualifications”; “on the basis that ….”;“will form the basis for….”

YOU DON’T MEAN: he is a faculty

YOU ALWAYS MEAN: he is amember of faculty / the faculty

WHY: This used to be heard amongstudents. But now those samestudents have evolved into journalistsand editors, and a professor orlecturer is called “a faculty” inmultiple news reports. Funny,considering that the first and mostimportant meaning of facultiesdenotes physical or mental abilities.So if you are in full possession of yourfaculties, you can hear, speak, see,smell, understand, etc. But at auniversity, the faculty describes allthe teachers there. Not a singlefaculty member!

YOU SAY: Having said that….

YOU MEAN: Even so … / But …

WHY: When you start a sentencewith that phrase, it means you’reseeking a transition, and arepreparing your listeners to expectthat you may contradict yourself,maybe in the interest of logic andaccuracy. Having said that, why mustyou avoid it as far as possible?Because if you Google out any list of

the most irritating phrases in English,you will find it there!

YOU SAY: He’s a 10th standard passout

YOU ALWAYS MEAN: He’s passed(the) 10th standard

WHY: This usage is more than“faintly” clumsy. Yet it’s increasinglyseen and heard everywhere. Avoid it.One reason, because it’s onlyacceptable in phrase like “passing-outparade.” Otherwise, “pass out”means to fall unconscious.

YOU SAY: I went to USA

YOU MUST SAY: I went to the USA

WHY: With the names of certaincountries and provinces, you need thedefinite article (the). “If so, why notthe India?” you could ask. It mayseem a bit mad, but there’s method init. The United States of Americadescribes a certain union of states.You’d use the if you spelled out ourfull name too: The Republic of India.The same rule holds for the UnitedKingdom, the Netherlands (meansthe low countries), or the Punjab (thefive rivers).

YOU DON’T MEAN: To be honest….

YOU PROBABLY MEAN: Frankly ….

WHY: Every language has fillerphrases, and to be honest wouldmake your English sound quitenatural. It’s usually a way of startingto give your frank opinion, whichmight cause some mild surprise oroffence. “To be honest” could soundlike your normal behavior is far fromit. (Warning: Never say it to theauthorities if you’re the subject of aninvestigation.)

YOU SAY: At this moment in time….

YOU ALWAYS MEAN: Now …

WHY: Don’t utter that irritant unlessyou’re doing a thesis on relativity, orwriting a line of poetry that rhymeswith a word like grime. People whouse “at this moment in time” insteadof “now” are padding their speech tobuy themselves time—they’d getabout five times as many moments tothink. But you’ll sound far lessannoying if you paused and resumedwith “Now….”

YOU SAY: According to me….

YOU MEAN: I think … / I feel ….

WHY: After he wrote Hamlet,Shakespeare could have said,“According to me, brevity is the soulof wit.” But you don’t have to say thatunless you, too, have an immortalquotation of your own. Or you’d onlyreflect the wit who wrote: “Accordingto me is the only ‘according to’ thatmatters.”

SCRATCH YOURMIND


Sanghani Prithvi

B. E. – I. C.

Selected in TCS

For achieving anything there shouldbe work done. Now, which work is thequestion..!! ‘Hard work’ or ’Smartwork, both have their importance intheir own place. But, the best way isto ‘work hard smartly’. It is simplythat for achieving anything we shouldmake effort; as the effort made isimportant, knowing where to makeeffort is also much important.

Knowing oneself interest in anythingis the not the one day task, it is thelong process. Mostly our journeytowards our career starts after 12thitself. After completing 12th, I wassimply interested in applying Mathand physics, so I decided to joinengineering. Now after that the maindecision was to select information, soafter gathering informationregarding different branches andputting my interest an all informationall together I selectedinstrumentation and controlengineering. After all process I tookadmission in AITS.

This institute has given me manythings; especially my department hasalways helped me to improve myselfand also to mold self in any situation.During this journey I learned to facemy fear and also improved mynegative points. My eagerness tolearn new things always helped meachieve whatever I desired. Mainthing I learned is that only bookish

knowledge is not important; themost important thing is the practicalknowledge. But by this statement Idon’t want to state that the bookishknowledge is not important, it is thatmuch important because it is thebasic block for practicing anything.For me marks never made anydifference as the few figures can’tjustify what you are but as it is thegate pass for starting one’s careerand to get in any field of work.

With the help of Training andPlacement Cell of our institute I gotthe opportunity to appear in TCS. Ithas the aptitude and email writinground for filtering, which can becleared by its regular practice. Thesecond round was Technical roundand Managerial round. The best thingto clear this round is to presentoneself simply without exaggeratingyourself. There is no need to bluffanything which you don’t know thebetter way to overcome thatquestion is to simply accept that ‘Idon’t know’.

As we know the most important thingin any interview is communicationskill, it is very important butcommunication skill is not to useextraordinary words, it simply meansthat to speak in such a manner thatthe person who is listening canunderstand easily. The final roundwas HR. The overall thing one shoulddo in interview is to be clear with theconcept and to give answers to thepoint.

At last all I want to say is ‘Don’t waitfor extraordinary opportunity, seizecommon occasions and make themgreat’, so it’s upon one how he/sheuses that opportunity.

Lastly, I am hearty thankful to all thepeople those who were part of myjourney up till now. Special thanks tomy family to support me; our

institute for providing me platform toexplore myself; Training andPlacement cell for giving me greatopportunity to begin my career; allthe faculty members to guide me andto support me in every situations andall my class mates for helping me inevery situations.

DhavalKansagra

B. E. – Mech.

Selected in TCS

My name is Dhaval Kansagra. I ampursuing B.E. Mechanicalengineering from AITS, Rajkot. It wasone of the unexplainable momentwhen interviewer announced theresult of the Campus Drive.

Basically, I am from Gujarati medium,so, English is one of the challengewhich I faced. "TCS visiting ourcampus" I got this news from TPObefore 20-25 days. I was qualified asper TCS criteria, so, I registeredmyself for the0 interview. Training &Placement cell organized extraclasses for the interview preparation.I was not at all prepared before 20-25days. We learnt email writing,aptitude, HR and technical topics.Even mock interviews were alsoorganized by the faculties. I attendedthese classes without any seriousnessbut then as the time passed by,pressure started building up, andmoreover, this was my first interviewso I was very excited and worried too.

Then I used lord of technology"GOOGLE" and read people’s opinionon TCS campus interview. I foundthat TCS used one software wherequestions are of similar type and I


went through these questions and foremail writing, I practiced online onvarious sites.

One day before interview, thepressure was very high. I read HRquestions and many blogs. I got toknow that interviewer ask questionsfrom resume and most importantthing is that they give priority topractical knowledge, so I gaveanswers as much as possible withpractical examples.

I improved a lot due to mockinterview sessions. The day ofcampus interview was awesome andthe moment before the results wereannounced is mesmerizing. I willnever forget it. I never thought that Iwill crack my first interview.

I am really very thankful to TPO andfaculties. Their preparation of 20-25days help me to crack this interview. Iand my family is very happy. Only onething helps in achieving great futurethat is "You get result as per yourdeeds". But one thing is sure, that inmy journey of education andselection in TCS, college supportedme a lot.

SantoshZalavadiya

B. E. E.E.

Selected inTCS

Hi, I am Santosh Zalavadiya. I amfrom Junagadh. I got selected in TCS.It feels great to have an offer letter inyour hands before the completion ofengineering. It is the most amazingfeeling ever. If I want to give theformula to get selected in TCS, then

it would be, TCS=Goodcommunication skills+ Basicknowledge about your core field+logical thinking

It takes really hard work anddetermination to get selected in anymultinational company. I think themost important thing to get selectedin TCS is communication skills. It issomething; you should start workingon it from today onwards.

For personal interview ‘BEINGYOURSELF’ is the key. Our collegearranged several sessions onaptitude, e-mail writing and personalinterview. Tips from those sessionsreally helped me.

As far as the technical interview isconcerned, you should be preparedwith basic concepts of your core field.I referred some reference books and Ihave gone through some websites fortechnical questions.

For HR interview, ‘Being confident’ isthe key. Good research about acompany is also very important thing.It will help you to create goodimpression. It shows that you areserious about a job.

Getting selected in TCS is not astough as it sounds. What worked inmy case was, I worked and put effortsin the right direction.

I am thankful to our collegemanagement, T&P cell and all facultymembers for their guidance andsupport.

“Today knowledge is power and itcontrols the opportunities andadvancements”. I am Pooja Mahamuni,

I stillremember how the professors hadgiven advices pertaining to shaping upany thoughts and ideas about thecorporate culture. I have alwaysreceived a platform to present, enhanceand learn only thing that I did was.

Discovering your forte, focusing on theskill and practicing for perfection.Working with Times Group – TOI is anextremely big opportunity. Right fromworkplace culture to work ethics isexactly what any fresher would dreamof. Learning expeditions for me hastaken a huge elevation and newhorizons of my skill set are expandingwith new value addition. Being BCCL(Benett & Coleman) member is privilegefor me.

I would take up the opportunity to thankmy mentors (Atmiya Professors) andAtmiya to enable me this platform toflourish on.

CAMPFIREMOTIVATIONAL STORY

“Value”

A well-known speaker started off hisseminar by holding up a $20 bill. Inthe room of 200, he asked, "Whowould like this $20 bill?"

Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this $20to one of you but first, let me do this."He proceeded to crumple the dollarbill up.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?"Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?"And he dropped it on the ground andstarted to grind it into the floor withhis shoe.

He picked it up, now all crumpled anddirty. "Now who still wants it?" Stillthe hands went into the air. "Myfriends, you have all learned a veryvaluable lesson. No matter what I didto the money, you still wanted itbecause it did not decrease in value.It was still worth $20. Many times inour lives, we are dropped, crumpled,and ground into the dirt by thedecisions we make and thecircumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless.But no matter what has happened orwhat will happen, you will never loseyour value. You are special - Don'tever forget it!

.

“Choosing a Career”

One doctor became the greatestsurgeon in the country and becamethe president of the Nationalsociety of surgeons. For this reason,a celebration in his honour was held.But he was sad. His friend came upto him and said: You achievedsomething that others can’t evendream about you became thegreatest surgeon. Why are you sosad?

The thing is that I achievedsomething that I didn’t evenwanted, the surgeon said, I neverwanted to be a surgeon and now Ican’t escape from it. If I would suffera failure then maybe I would have achance to do something that I reallylove. And now I am chained to athing that I don’t even like. Youmust be joking? The friendexclaimed, the biggest honour for asurgeon is to become the presidentof a National society. Your wife ishappy, your children are happy.

Everyone has the highest respectfor you! But I don’t respect myselfthat’s what bad. I wanted to be adancer, but my parents wereagainst it, and I’ve listened to them.I was weak. I became a greatsurgeon, but I am very mediocre inthe field that I wanted to dedicatemy life to. That is why I am unhappynow.


Our career paths seem so cut and drywhen we're children. When askedwhat we want to be when we growup, our responses are simple:engineer, teacher, firefighter, doctor.

But as we grow up and head tocollege, we're exposed to all sorts ofother career options in fields wenever have had exposure to in a directway. While we work to earn degreesin fields we're interested in pursuing,we're still left a bit unprepared for thecorporate world upon graduation.

Here are 10 facts your college degreedidn't prepare you for whengraduating:

1. You're not limited to jobs in thefield you got your degree in. If youhave a degree in journalism, youmight assume that means your onlyoption is becoming a journalist. Butarmed with great communicationsskills, you could also qualify for jobs inPR, marketing, or businessadministration. It's all how you playyour cards and where you get yourexperience.

2. Your degree isn't always thatimportant to employers. Despitewhat you'd like to believe, manyemployers won't care where youwent to school, or even what youearned your degree in. They'll focusinstead on your skills: whether or notyou seem trainable enough for thejob you've applied for. They'll alsolook at experience. You'll have thehardest time in regards to experience

just out of college, as you won't yethave much detail on your resume.Focus on getting internships andvolunteer positions to round out theexperience employers will be lookingfor.

3. Some employers won't evenrequire you to have a degree. Thiscan be an eye-opener to anyonewho's spent four-plus years earning adegree, but again, employers look forexperience and trainability. Andwhile having a college degree doesdisplay your ability to be taught, it'snot the only path to a professionalcareer.

4. There are jobs you've never evenheard of in your field. Like manycollege grads, you probably receiveda brochure listing all the amazingcareers you could consider in yourfield. But there are often many morebeyond that list. If you have a degreein English, you've likely alreadyconsidered the obvious option ofteaching or writing, but publishing,proofreading, speech-writing, orbecoming a paralegal might not havecrossed your mind.

5. Grades don't matter. It is highlyunlikely an employer will ask for yourtranscript, at least not to check outyour grades. That's not to dissuadecurrent college students from tryingtheir hardest, but the fact is:employers don't care about grades.

6. College is about networking.Make the most out of your alumninetwork and see what opportunitiesthere are for you professionally.Speak to professors in yourdepartment about what they'drecommend for you career-wise.

7. Some degrees pay better thanothers. And liberal arts degreesaren't at the top of the list.Biomedical engineering, math, andscience, however, are. Something to

consider when planning the massiveamounts of money you'll make withyour philosophy degree.

8. College does not prepare you fora job. Nothing but job experience cando that. And, of course, you need jobexperience to get a job. It's a viciouscycle to which you've got to find yourown solution.

9. Employers don't want to trainyou to do a job. That's why they'remore likely to hire people not freshout of college. Do yourself a favor andtake on an internship or two duringcollege so that you've already gonethrough the experience of being in awork environment and having someexperiences to help guide you. Thiswill make you more hireable aftergraduation.

10. It's okay to change your mind.Many graduates start working in theirfield of choice only to find out itwasn't what they expected whenthey were cracking the books on thesubject. It's okay. You don'tnecessarily need to start over and getanother degree; just open your mindto other career options your degreemight make you eligible for in thefuture.
