A Brief about this Website

Piyush Kansal

Hi Friends,
I started developing this site as a part of fun. But my main aim is to make this site a useful resource for community of SW Developers and students hunting for some information on C, C++, UNIX and some general stuff. Most of the material which I will be putting up here will be the one which I have really worked on. The rest will be the one which I have read from somewhere and found it useful. I will try to describe all the concepts described here in as simple language as possible. Hope you will have a great time. In case you have any doubts/suggestions, you are always welcome because that will indirectly contribute in making my website a better one.

Something About Me

Well, my name is Piyush Kansal. I am from the Meerut (Uttar Pradesh, India), the city well known for its sports goods, jewelery and obviously crime too.

I successfully landed up this planet on Nov. 13, 1982. I enjoyed the first 3 years to the maximum in sleeping, eating, crying, giving sleepless nights to my parents, my uncles, my aunties and obviously my neighbors too, breaking a lots and lots of good things, as my mom told me, by using my highly destructive mind. But, at the same time, I was also given a full fledged 5-Star hospitality by everyone. But, since good days never remain forever, which happened to me as well, I was finally thrown into the school and then suddenly the beautiful life of beds-n-roses turned up into something really dangerous, something from which you can never come out.

I started my schooling from a nearby school. After sometime, I joined a co-ed school, Guru Tegh Bahadur Public School (Meerut Cantt), where I studied till XII and that year was 2000. I then entered into a new phase of life from where one's career is decided. I moved to U.P Technical University, Lucknow for doing B.Tech in Information Technology which I completed in 2004 with good score. I then did Diploma in Advanced Computing (Jan, 2005) from Advanced Computing Training School of Center for Development of Advanced Computing, Pune, in short, known as CDAC, ACTS, Pune. From CDAC, I got placed in Zensar Technologies Ltd., a mid size company, a JV between RPG Group and Fujitsu on Feb. 15, 2005 and that is how I started an another phase of my life, the Professional phase on Mar. 8, 2005(my first day in Zensar).

I worked in Zensar for 1.5 years in two domains, Embedded Systems and System Programming. In Embedded Systems, I worked in C, VxWorks and in System Programming, I worked in VC++. I had a great experience in Zensar(knowledge wise) but I quit Zensar on Sep. 15, 2006 as I was not satisfied by their HR policies and 'Zero' employee care. I then moved to Amdocs on Sep. 20, 2006 and I am currently working there on Shell scripting, C++ and Unix.

I am also active in social work. I like doing it. I feel that one should always give some time to it. I think a good way to do it is on your birthday because this is one day which God has made special for you. So, lets not waste time and money on your friends partying but rather spend some time with people who are rather not so lucky. Lets make them feel happy rather making your friends happy. Lets bring some happiness in their life for some time and be their buddy. At least this is what I am doing since childhood. Special Thanks to my parents who incorporated "this thing" in me. I am a member of Teach India and have taught in slums for 3 months. I also made them aware of the ITI, a Government of India initiative post independence to ensure that the uneducated people can earn an honorable living by teaching them skills like carpentry, mobile repairing, computer repairing etc. To tell you the reality, none of the adults in that slum were aware of this institute. I saw a lot of smiling faces when they came to know they can also learn computer and can get a good job which was one of their distant dreams.

I am also a member of TiE. Not sure why but there is something inside me which always tells me that I can do it. What, when and how, I don't know. But yes to achieve that I need to equip myself with the required skills and I have already taken the path to achieve that. Will update about the progress somewhere around Mar-Apr 2011 :)
