Caravel Labeled Parts

My internship

I'll try to explain here the reason I came to India. I am a student at EPITA and I had an internship at the end after my 3rd year. The latter, in this school is pretty special and we work very much. The first two weeks are particularly famous for containing 20H 140H is working daily on the week. The rest is not a sad person either with weeks of work in applying theory about 85H. And even if we do that ¾ it is still quite tiring. I do not regret at all this year because I learned a tremendous amount of knowledge and that thanks to the great atmosphere and good humor of countless teachers I keep good memories. In summary it was a great experience but nonetheless challenging. But why I mention all this? Oh yeah I wanted to say that a change of scenery and do something really different before starting a new school year. I had a 6 months to do so I told myself I was going from foreigner. The United States and India tempted me well but the latter was preferred for several reasons:

  • I really wanted to come to India for more than holidays
  • My girlfriend had to come to training Professor of Dance in South India and was able to move its dates to stick with training. Thus we can still see.
  • The cost of living is much cheaper and I can live very well with my own training allowances.
  • The climate in Bangalore is perfect, it is between 19 and 29 following the period after the site of the Indian weather. Since my arrival he made between 21 and 26 degrees which is very significant.

So I went looking for an internship in India and my school gave me very quickly put into relationship with Business Objects, the world leader in business intelligence (BI search on the net if you do not know not). They asked me to manage the deployment of a project between India and France and I quickly accepted. I do not know what I'm allowed to say on this subject but I can come back a little over the top. I spent two months in Levallois-Perret to start and I arrived in Bangalore at 3:45 am on September 27.

Chicken Pox Virus Survive In The Air?



Namaskar,


This blog will try to retrace my journey to Bangalore.

It is intended e to all who wish to live in this city and especially to epitéens. Many courses are offered to students of this school Blore but few bother to take an interest because India remains a rather mysterious country has their eyes.
It also allowed my family to have my news and view photos.

Last year 3 students were gone al'ITK (3rd best university in the world) and Siemens. This year, two are from Siemens and for my part, I work for Business Objects. I regularly see Ugo and Roman, the other two epitéens, and it also has a blog: stagebangalore.com I suggest you read.

Both have had the courage to leave to the discovery of a country they do not know pas mais j’ai un peu moins de mérite puisque mon père est Indien et que je suis déjà venu une dizaine de fois. En revanche je suis originaire de Gonda un petit village au nord de Bénarès et je ne connais donc pas du tout Bangalore. Mes précédents voyages m’ont amenés à Delhi, dans l’Himalaya et un peu partout dans l’Uthar Pradesh mais jamais dans le sud de l’Inde. Je tiens à préciser que l’Inde est un pays immense et que les différences entre le nord et le sud sont très importantes. La langue, la cuisine, le physique des habitants, les coutumes n’ont absolument rien à voir. De plus il n’est pas aussi aisé qu’en France de ce déplacer inside the country. Thus the Indians of another state are considered foreigners if they are not in theirs. But in Bangalore, things are a little different from the dimension of the cosmopolitan city. I'll go into more detail in a forthcoming article.

I know I should have taken me a little early to start this blog (I arrived on September 27) but better late than never. The first news will be very dense.

For those who do not know me here is my description:

I tried to put up pictures but I only have a phone with k750i camera 2MégaPixels. The quality will not always go. However I would try to tax and photos Ugo Romano.

Of the two pronunciations of my name you can read the address this blog as Ram or Rama Blore Blore :) .

Enjoy this blog

Blisters In The Vagna

The Karen

Enfin me direz-vous. Il tient enfin sa promesse de nous parler du peuple karen dont on sait si peu de choses. Cependant je n’en sais pas beaucoup plus et ne pourrais vous donner pour l’instant qu’un aperçu sommaire.
Les lecteurs assidus se souviendront de l’épisode de la cuite a Winamyeh (les autres peuvent consulter les archives), première relation que je fis d’une spécificité of Karen culture, welcoming people from all as you could you know it. Although they admit frankly
appeal to the virtues of brotherly sharing drunk, know that the hospitality of Karen does not stop at the initiation rites ethyl. Always ready to receive guests, Karen you will rarely faulted.
Even though it would not be able to have you at his table before her neighbor, never mind, you will be leaving for a second (or second) meal at home, once the first end (some days Christmas, Father Alain Bourdery, missionary to Karen eat up to five meals ...).
Some serious news though: the Karen are from Burma, living between Thailand and Myanmar and is nearly half the population of the hill tribes. They are monogamous, animists, Christians or Buddhists, proudly thick V-neck tunics of various colors (white for unmarried women), and most live in rice cultivation.


I will not comment on the situation of the Karen in Myanmar, because I do not know her well enough, but know that the refugee camps along the Thai-Burmese border were built for them, when chased by the army, they had to flee the country in the 80s.


There are two alphabets Karen, the novel (Latin) and the Burmese. Both were created in the last century in order to al'écrit speaking a language that even the oral presentation.
Singing movements accompanied folk guitars today, has allowed some literature to keep alive while I defy you to ever see Karen dancing. It appears that it is like seeing the snow falling on Thailand (which also want a lot of Thai). Finally, a
romantic note.
The Karen live in relatively small groups and their number does not exceed the amount of mouths that will feed the next crop. Thus, it is essential that reigns entente cordiale between the inhabitants of a village.
To solve the problems that can not fail to bring life in community, the village head supported by a council of elders to decide the fate of villagers wanting. And until recently still time, each village had its own killer, responsible for discharging the member's account for the benefit of deviating more ...

Ibuprofen And Heart Burn

Back-Rentree-Routine

After several weeks of pious silence return to the relationship of a life now properly installed in a routine.
Moreover, the month of September is conducive to returns, these beginnings annual and regular layers on the school agenda.
On reflection, I realize that's what I aspired to since I arrived in Thailand daily. The feeling that every day is an opportunity to make a new piece has an ordered structure, whose essential symmetry is guaranteed by a formal repetition of an organized life.
In a homogeneous universe, formed around the observance of established schedules a reasonable one-day errors are corrected the next day or next month, under the long extension cord that is routinely continuity.
Indeed, the period over which it exercises our schedules no longer appears as a succession of time units (days), but as an inclusive system or the day seems to last for one week, one month Five years even.
Considering that this is the design of a virtuous relationship of our time, when life seems endless and what we have done the day before, we can make a day that can be also well next week in a year.
This does not break this order what some perceive as a limit certainly has the freedom or the assurance of inevitable boredom. On the contrary, nothing seems to me healthier than spontaneously decide a change of time program, provided it does not prevent a return to what is undeniably a source of balance.
Finally, I will not make you forget the indignity of that routine in Mae Sot, a border town between Thailand and Burma, or subway is a word denoting exotic perhaps an astronomical reality, does not necessarily correspond to the train train Paris. However, getting up every day at the same time every morning and devote themselves to the same hygienic rituals are things we do together ...
