Clothing

Clothing means the way of covering human body wearing garments and clothes. People prefer wearing varieties of clothes with styles. The way one gets dressed reflects what personality he/she has. Depending upon seasons and occasions, people get dressed differently so they look good and attractive in front of others along with protecting one’s body.

Talking about myself, I tend to wear those wears that comforts me whether it is in fashion or out dated. As I prefer simple and comfy clothing, I really don’t wish to follow the latest trends being a fashioned girl.  Usually, I wear jeans and t-shirt with outer on top of it and flip flops which gives me a casual look and I like dressing casual while visiting out with my friends as well as going for classes.

When it comes to seasons, in winter, I prefer wearing jeans and a jacket on top with a pair of closed shoes on and I get ready as I always do. I love dark colored clothes whether it is jeans or t-shirts. I feel it gives me a real cool look when I wear chose pants and cool t-shirts with pair of converse shoes.  But when I get ready for party or some kind of special occasions, I would prefer wearing pretty clothes and get ready in a very different way which makes me look cute and beautiful. Likewise, every person has their own way of clothing and styling themselves in a way that comforts them and keep them at ease.

Even though, every person wants to look cool and fashionable to others but it’s not worth if you are not really comfortable with the one you have come up with.  Sometimes you can’t pull up yourself and really wants to change your outfit giving a different look and it’s kind of cool and refreshing doing it.

Difference between Fear and Respect

Respect is when someone treats you with kindness and love along with the strong bond of trust and honor whereas fear is the feeling or condition of being afraid of someone you don’t know much about whether the threat growing inside you is real or just an imaginary one. Albert Campus, a French philosopher, once said, “Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.”  Likewise, for any person to give respect, it should come from the inner self not by threat. ‘Fear’ and ‘Respect’ are two different perspectives by which people obey others but sometimes may be attached to a certain level. For instance, a child will obey his father as he respects him but will also have a low level of emotional fear.

Fear towards a person makes you feel afraid of their action and you will have the feeling of the intimation towards that person. Physical fear leads to people following others as they are scared that they will hurt them. Fear tries to find the way of getting respect in a very twisted way. Fear is something that destroys the self confidence whereas respect enhances the self confidence. Respect is totally willful and voluntary and a person gives respect on the basis of what he feels in the others. They built a trust on them and feel secure on their supervision, as a result they feel they are trustworthy and respect them. Fear is gained by learning. Respect can be earned and it is our choice whether we have it or lose it.

In conclusion, respect leads to people creating a trust and understanding towards other while fear creates recognition that someone or something has the potential to harm us and nothing else.  So, if we have to choose between fear and respect, respect is obvious option for us as it will lead us to develop our personality in the society and have a glorious life. People need to give respect in order to get respect and look upon people equally and not letting them feel pressurized. As a result, people will respect you.

Difference between Confidence and Arrogance

There is a thin line between confidence and arrogance but the result that the two gives are very different. Confidence is a positive term that boosts a person's self esteem whereas on the other hand arrogance is a negative term that acts as a hindrance in our personality development.  In other word, arrogance is overconfidence. Our confidence level reflects how smart we are while arrogance shows how stubborn we can get to prove our point. Self confidences is good but over confidence or arrogance can only do badly to oneself.

People have confidence inside them when they know about something and have full belief about it. And if a person is too proud to be confident and thinks he knows everything than anyone then that is called arrogance. A person with confidence does something up to their ability in order to prove their potentiality and they always try hard to make things go better. They know their abilities and also their weaknesses and they are not afraid to be themselves.

But an arrogant person never thinks about working hard as they think everything they do will go perfect and also they think that they are always right. They try to make people feel that they are not good enough which is offensive to those people.  That person has got confidence inside him but that too much of confidence leads him to be an arrogant one. Arrogant person never seeks for his weakness. Instead, he becomes too stubborn to prove his point of view without acknowledging the opinion of other person. He only tries to find out the weak side of other people.

Person with confidence are loved and respected by everyone whereas a person with over confidence and arrogance are only neglected and they only gain hatred from every person. Thus, every person should develop self confidence and try to stay away from arrogance in order to achieve success in life and get appreciated by others.

Green IT




IT is most important in today's century as lives have been more comfortable with these increasing technologies. But at the same time, it has been a disastrous as well because of the unwanted production of carbons and over utilization of the power or energy consumption. Green IT also known to be green technology describes the study and the use of the Information Technology in an efficient way which helps in reducing the waste as well as the consumption of the energy or power. According to the given article, it is said that power is consumed even when any companies or buildings are unoccupied. Different technologies consumes large amount of energy even if the equipment is switched off. So, in order to prevent the power from being wasted, we need to switch off equipments at the plug every time we switch it off. We need to aware every people about the effects that can be caused by IT equipments if we don't help ourselves as well as everyone by saving the energy. Excess usage of equipment leads to the production of unwanted carbon and gases that will degrade the environmental condition and may even cause global warming. So starting with us, with the knowledge of Green IT we will have to start saving the power and consumption of energy by directly switching off at the plug.
The energy calculator PC equipment helps in identifying the electric power consumed by the PC in a whole year that will help us find out the solution for consuming the power in a very less amount. Using this calculator we will be able to find out what can be done for further least consumption of energy. Also it calculates the electric consumption when the PC is in off mode or idle mode or on mode.

First Week Experience in Second Semester


With the beginning of our second semester our courses has been started smoothly and efficiently. On the very first week, we attended lectures of this course "Personal Development for Computing", where we were described about the introductory part. I found this course quite similar with that of the previous one at that time but with the passing days I felt this course is more advanced and different. We also had an orientation class where we were told about the plagiarism and academic misconduct. 

As we are already familiar with the presentation and the group work, it won't be hard for us to work as a team and present ourselves in a better way. This time we will be having two final presentations in this semester which will be grading us. Also we will be creating websites which I found really interesting. On the workshop during our first week, we were given different topics that would describe the ability of a graduate in computing where we had some discussion within a group and we presented our views in front of the class. While studying computing, we are taught how to know certain problems and how to approach those problems. And for solving those problems, we are taught different techniques for finding solutions to those problems within certain criteria. As we now know about these skills which are useful in our day to day life, I think it will be quite useful in our near future.

With excitement and curiosity of learning many new things we have been sincerely studying hard and co-operating with our lecturers and tutors. "Personal Development for Computing" was really helpful subject for us to develop our skills in our first semester and we are having same kind of course in this semester as well that will be beneficial for us to increase our confidence level than before and which will probably make us be like a professional IT(Computing) student.

My view upon choosing the subject:Computing


The world of computer is growing at a very high rate everyday and computers has been the most influential tool in every human's lives. They are the most important part of our present as well as future. I chose to study Computing as I was interested in this field and I find it really fascinating. So, I decided to take this path leading to the field of I.T for my future plans.

We had to study different modules and those modules were Study Skills for Computing, Logic, Problem Solving IT, Introduction to Programming. Though it was not so easy to deal with the coursework of those particular subjects, however with lots of hard work and sincerity I did it quite well. I learned about many interesting topics. I was able to p[resent myself and work in a group which helped me increase my confidence level.

We had different modules where I could learn about different mathematics techniques, set theory, logical relations and functions as well. I also came to know how computer solves their problems using various structures in a very systematic way that the computer understands. Adding more to this, I have learnt about Algorithm and Flowchart and also learnt to use database and spreadsheets. 

"Introduction to Programming" was the hardest module for me. Despite of this, I practiced different questions from the workshop again and again, asked for help with my friends, tutor and finally overcame the difficulty I was facing. Java programming and coding languages was the best part that was quite interesting as well as most  difficult part that I have learnt with lots of effort and lots of practice. Bluej was also quite interesting and was more advanced topic. This module has helped me a lot increasing my skills in writing and tackling problems related to programming.

Over the past few months, studying Computing at this university has increased my knowledge and developed my interest in this subject more and more. With the knowledge I have gained from this subject, I will be able to make my future much bright and build a successful career. Utilizing the skills I have earned till now at the University, I believe I can see myself as a very successful person in my near future.
