Voice of America

hey that was cool interview.. well, by next week I am gona give this exams.. MCAD and MCSD.. just a few days b4.. I was at IDF (Intel Developer Forum), there was a stall of Microsoft, and some of them from Microsoft, Sanjay Shetty, Homi Bharda, Rajiv Sodhi, Piyush Shah knows me... as soon as I reached there one of them asked me did u appear for the M$ exams? I said no.. and they scolded on me.. and told me like.. by oct 30 u give exam u will get discount... but I was not able to.. coz of time probs and lots of projects.. but by next week I am gona complete 3 exams of MCAD and then 8 exams of MCSD and MCSD.NET..

its not a big deal - it was four years ago - then only two institutes taught the course and the tution fee was way to high.. now its damn accessible and cheap. The syllabus has changed much too.. Good luck with your exams - but y'no what, I know you'll pass in the first go.. so you dont really need it :)

but u gave MCSE.. now MCSE got got to pass 7exams need to pass 3exams for MCP.. MCSE is on Windows Server 2003 and need to pass 2exams for Windows XP Pro.. courses are still not available for Windows Server 2003, buit books just came in market.. exams are now costly.. 2,500rs per exam.. but I am giving MCSD, MCSD.NET and MCAD.. materials are available.. course price are tooo high.. 1.5lacs for MCSD with certification and 60,000rs for MCAD certification.. but me not goin for any courses.. and exam fees are same.. but hey I got a special discount of 25% on MCAD exam, b4 I had 30% but now 25% lol.. 5% doesnt matter.. well, the main exam in this MCSD.. which is analyzing system and software architecture is erally tough job to complete.. even not much experienced ppl like who having 10yrs of xp in software industry are not able to pass that exam.. now I got 6yrs of xp in software industry so lets see..

hey one more thing.. why dont you upgrade your MCSE certification to Windows Server 2003, and also try out some other certification in system enginering field like, MCSA, MCDBA and also if you are interested in networking then try out CCNA and CCNP..

Congracts! Well spoken. I've already heard the entire interview five times over!! You have no Idea how much that interview means to me...even If it wasn't mine..;)Sorry, can't tell you why :P

Congratulations Lime 4 that interview...it was damn good!

Dhaval: I agree - MCSD and the likes are on a much higher standard. I don't want to upgrade the certification simply 'coz networking is not my area of interest.. anymore. I want to go ahead in design and multimedia instead - not spend more time now for all these degrees ;) But man, you sound like you're going to face damn tough exams - are they still multi-choice? The flukes do well then ;)

Rohit: Boy, Rohit, you have me blushing there! I couldn't hear it more than once :P was fighting with my mom for putting it on again - don't like the interview for some damn reason...

Kartik: Thanks man! Glad you liked it ;)

So u are on AIR again..I am downloading the MP 3 at the moment..would be hearing u for the first time.. :P and I do hope it's great...Anyways..It has to be great...ROHIT has really made me eager to hear it...catch u at MODEM :P

again? :P On air for the first time man! Do lemme know how corny it is - coz I really find it a very corny interview! Oye.. why are you coming to Modem though?

hmm, hey so u can go for some graphics related certification courses, oh and by the way.. Microsoft have developed a software which is a killer of Macromedia Flash and Director.. this software will be available bundled with the next version of Windows Codename Longhorn which is due in 2006, right now its in alpha stages.. but from alpha stages only its making cool miracles.. if you want to know more you can email me for this.. I got lots of screen shots.. and lots of things.. and also leaked version of Longhorn.. and also one official version of Longhorn which was got published in the PDC03, and abt the exams.. well, MCSD, MCSD.NET and MCAD got the options.. but not as many as MCSE.. so I think its better.. coz it doesnt confuse me what to take and what to not.. :p

Yea graphics sounds good.. you know of a good one? Man how the hell do you get all those softwares.. shh... ;) you might get caught.. these public websites are friggin' dangerous man! But I remember you had MSN 6 long before it was released.. damn you! :P

ya I have got some links for the certification in graphics... and well, no I wont get caught.. coz all IDs are like hidden well.. and actually very secure info is.. shhh.. will tell u.. heh yeah this sites are dangerous but cool also.. and yeah MSN Messenger 6.1 too b4 releasing.. anyways.. do one thing.. give me your e-mail ID.. which u check often.. I will add it in my address book, and will send u links on the various certifications dealing in graphics.

Thanks Dhaval - send it to lime@gursimran.com - check it most often :)
