Wow!!!
I could not believe when i looked back and saw that it is more than 4+ years now, since I am writing. I will reiterate the reason for starting to write blogs.
Thanks to the on sight assignment and my boss (who irritated me a lot), that I had thoughts, but no one to share with. I thought of writing it to a place. Ended up writing a mail to self.
Later discovering to put it on blog. I have hidden a lot of material on the blog. But can't help it.
During these years, i have came from rediscovering myself through thoughts, poems and some technical stuff on the blog. The journey of my life is, I can say documented in the blog.
My friend asked me why I stopped writing poems... truely speaking, I don't get time to do so. Earlier there were those saturdays and sundays dedicated to it.. filled with thought and waiting to be penned down... Now the saturdays and sundays are occupied by mundane activities.. leaving no time to think...
Hope fully I will come back to self...
The poems are written by me whereas other content are borrowed with credit and are personal views.

Defining Transistor
In of the pdf I was reading through, I found the best definition of "Transistor".
It is a curious structure composed from carefully chosen chemical substances with complex electrical properties that can only be understood by reference to the theory of quantum mechanics, where strange subatomic particles sometimes behave like waves and can only be described in terms of probabilities. Yet the gross behaviour of a transistor can be described, without reference to quantum mechanics, as a set of equations that relate the voltages on its terminals to the current that flows though it. These equations abstract the essential behavior of the device from its underlying physics.
