Project at NPOL
In most engineering colleges, the students in their final semesters are suppsed to do a project. We (CUSATITES)choose to call it the ' Major ' project because it is worth 300 marks. I am doing mine in NPOL(Naval Physical Oceanographic Laboratory) along with Varun M, Srijith and Dias.Npol is a laboratory of our DRDO(Defence Research Development Organization).They specialize in building SONARs. No readers, our project has nothing to do with SONARs and submarines .We just need to dabble with their database.Nevertheless,it is a live project which they promise will be implemented if completed successfully and help us in fetching certificates from the ministry of defence.
Srijith's father is an employee of NPOL which helped us to get to do the project there. It is quite amusing to see Srijith smiling from ear to ear when he meets any employee , right from the hindi speaking guards to the countless acquaintances of his father. The security regulations there are very stringent. No mobile phones are allowed inside. They don't seem to have any problems with CDs and Flash drives(actually it is disallowed but they don't check our bags).
We have two project guides:-Mr. Ananda manoharan and Mr.Gopakumar.The former is an eminent scientist of the IT division and a very cordial person with a lot of energy running through his veins. But unfortunately he must be the most inarticulate person I've ever met.It takes great levels of concentration and imagination to discern what he is trying to say. But despite his apparent weaknesses he takes great pains in making things clear to us .
The other guide is mr.Gopakumar who unlike his senior, has no problems in talking coherently. But he has great expectations from us. In that regard the patron is loads better than the protege. However, both are warmhearted people and greatly pleasing to work under.
My expeditions to NPOL will be incomplete if i don't mention the qualtiy of the food provided to us in the canteen. Half baked chapatti and tasteless Dal(or at other times chana or peas curry) .
Simply awful.
