I am blogging after a long while after joining BEL. We had VC++ training from 22nd Oct to 05th Nov. Well right now I am about to jump into a project at BEL (Bharat Electronics Limited) classified as RESTRICTED and am not supposed to make public. The Software Technology Center at BEL is real cool and plush but we are getting tired ( YAWN ;-) ) reading the proposals and users requirements etc. The work atmosphere is also kinda good with amiable and friendly team mates. The inducted new comers like me have varied reactions on the projects alloted to them. Ill be assigned the project probably tomorrow and BEL uniforms (cream shirts and brown trousers) are to worn worn ( oh very dull !!! ). Bought a few books from a local book fair today. Thats about it for now. Gung Ho ! Project work and coding from tomorrow.
The newspaper DNA (Daily News and Analysis - http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore ) seems to have involved in not verifying its sources of photographs and having used my photographs (does this amount to plagiarism? I think it does) after it carried some of my pictures in the 'After Hrs' section of its newspaper on 31st January 2009, which I had taken at the IIMB Yamini 2009. It is good that they covered the event but they should have cited/verified the sources of the photographs. In all probability they or their sources just picked up the photos from my blog, with the belief that no one would notice anyways - seems they could not escape as luck would have it, I spotted them in the DNA paper on Saturday. It was early in the morning when as I flipped open the last page of the supplement that I was stunned to see my pics, which I was able to recognize immediately - however there were no credits anywhere in sight! Please check the photos below from the e-paper version on their website...
