Well to be very specific, I did my internship from Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradun which apparently is a part of the ISRO. I have a computer science engineering background, but I know about the procedure to join ISRO as a research trainee (that's what I was told when I joined the organisation). To get an internship in ISRO is not a cup of tea. You need to have a solid link who can atleast refer you to some divisional head and process your request, unlike in my case. There are very few centers of ISRO such as IIRS Dehradun, SAC Hyderabad, another one in Ahmedabad which provide internship programmes for the undergrads. Do check out their websites for online application, for example refer to this link: External Projects/ Internship for IIRS Dehradun.Most importantly, you should be mentally prepared to face interviews and answer well when they call you. In my case, I had applied online and had a referral from my department's head which helped me to get a call for the internship. Start looking out for centers which offer internship programmes for mechanical undergrads and try to link up with the scientists/engineers who work there. Send them a professional email with your resume and tell them how you signNowed to them and why do you want the internship position. Good luck ahead!

My ex husband and I married for over 10 years.When I first met him, he was too good to be true. Loving understanding, generous, kind and promised the world to me. His well respected cops admire by everyone at his town and colleagues. He was a hero to other. He was the first guy I’ve ever been with. I fully trusted him just like my parents relationship trusting, respect and always have your back. I always knew I’ll marry a good man, since I am a happy soul.I Left my life back home to start a new fresh life to a new land and new culture with the man I married. I was excited to start a new beginning.Few weeks after moving in to his place as a married couple I saw the very first red flag of the wonderful man I’ve thought, I found a bunch of naked photos he collected from different women, He gave me a beautiful re-assurance as to why he had those photos.. it’s believable he cried.I was young inexperience 19 y/o, living thousand miles across the country away from my family and friends, Naive enough to believe in everything he says, well I supposed to trust my husband he’s a lot older than me so I figured I’m safer, If he wasn’t a cop he would be a great life speaker. He has the skills to convince anyone to believed everything he said.Within the same year I got pregnant with a beautiful girl she’s a blessing to me. His cheating became evident. Calling names became his favorite word. He is a good player and a Dangerous one I felt bad for the women who fell into his lies. He used them to feed his ego.A part of his strategy is to make sure i know nothing about the world I’m living in, staying dumb and clueless is what he likes, he acts like Mr. Google and everyone is below him.He made sure that my name is no longer what my parents gave me, he granted me a new nick name(cunt, whore, dumb,ugly and more) I didn’t like it but he sure gets the joy out of it.From being happy and positive young person I am, I become isolated, sad and Angry. His negative words start to have power over me.He knows how to laugh…laugh at me, he has the needs to remind constantly that I should be well aware of my confidence should be diminish and not meant to flourish. His ego is huge when my confidence is low.Over time I developed anxiety due to his abusive behavior. Regular conversation become frightful. You never know what insult I’m a getting.One sunny day, he took me shopping I got too excited, yes, I have no access to our bank so I have to constantly ask money from him for my personal expense.I picked the cutest outfit, i’d love to think I have a good sense of style, but the excitement replace with embarrassment when he found out my cloths cost him a little over $60, he started belittling me in public, I put the cloths back, too embarrassed to continue shopping, I ran towards the car to hide my self from people staring at us. They felt bad, I felt worst, But those dress though..such a cute outfit that could add a little spice to my confident that’s slowly fading away.I started to make new friends and let me tell you how awesome that felt, I finally found someone to hang out with, well Ofcourse Mr. perfect man cannot handle the positive relationship around me so he has to Interfere, either ruin it or hook up with friends. i lost a lot of friends but few stick up for me and become a family.Years goes by my ex behavior become eradic, abusive, manipulative, he’s extreme pathological liar, and mentally ill. How did I manage to stay positive it was tough but I always knew I am better and stronger that his words.One day he told me to pack our belongings and we’re moving to different states, I don’t want to, I created a family( friends) to where I was and my daughter made a great friendship, but do I have a choice?We moved to another state no friends starting all over again not knowing he planned carefully to divorce me far from my good friends who consoled me. My suffering gives him satisfaction.Slowly regaining independency made him miserable, I fought to go back to school and learned how to drive (thanks to YouTube, no kidding). The more he isolate me the more I tried to become outgoing, I long for connection.It was a bitter sweet mistakes bringing me to the desert I met great new friends, I kept going against his will. I wasn’t scared anymore, I learned to endure his abusive behavior. He was furious to see how quickly I adjusted.He’s on the job to ruin my relationship to any of my friends. He reminds me of an alligator sitting quietly waiting/observing for its prey, All the lies he put out there to destroy my inner peace, this time he will not succeed. I figured out to make sure he know nothing about my new friends.I started working out,it was my to way to de-stress, yoga has been my favorite and outdoor Camping gave me an inner peace, I slowly gained all my confidence back, I spend less of my time or possibly no time at all with him. I made myself busy to help me get rid of the negative thoughts, I don’t want to entertain self pity. I deleted all sorts of social media to avoid comparing my self to other’s happiness and unrealistic lifestyles I couldn’t afford, rather, focus working on my own self progress.One day after I got out of school I went straight to work a gentle man came asking for my name and serve me the divorce paper,I felt a little embarrassed everyone at work knows my business.I had to hire a lawyer when Mr.Respected ex started to create lies and accusations to make sure the judge will favor towards him, his manipulative skills always benefit him, I wish I can speak like him. I don’t see the needs to speak poorly against him infront of the judge, all I wanted is a smooth process stating on the paper I’m no longer connected to him and Grant me my daughter’s custody, but he is born nasty, no compassion. I truly believed he was born heartless.Eventually, he gave up because guess what this little naive girl will never surrender my rights to my beautiful daughter!, even if it means I have to sleep 2 hrs a day to support my expensive lawyer.I work soo hard to make sure my daughter feel safe and do my best to provide all her needs, Its not an easy transition but I kept going, depression has no chance on me. I stayed strong and focus. I cried at times not because I’m depressed but it made me feel better afterwards.Finally, he came into terms, we both signed the divorce paper… I ran downstairs carried the biggest smile on my face and did my happy dance outside the court ( i created my own happy dance) it was the most happiest day of my life. I called my family about the awesome news.I was soo excited, I ran towards the homeless guy sitting on the bench and told him how happy I was, I don’t know him I just needed a friend and he’s kind enough to Listen to my happy ending. It was a beautiful emotional day for me. I used to just wish for this day to come and here I am In front of the court signing my way back to my freedom and peace.Words are powerful, before I left my old town, I told few of my friends marked my word I will be divorce before I turned 30 and if it won’t happen please come find me and slap me in the face, I said jokingly and here I am divorce before 30.I walk away without asking a penny from this man, I could use alimony but I just want peace and my daughter. I let him keep all his money.Hours after signing all the documents he called to say“ I still love you and our family and how sad I am to make a decisions because you have changed. I miss the old you, the way we used to be”.my daughter was sitting next to him so I just had to hold my tongue but I really wanted to tell him to “fuck Off” I wanted to puke with annoyance.I’ve never been soo excited to sign a paper like that in my life.. I could sign that paper all day long, every signatures is a sign of freedom and I made sure to carry extra pen with me Im afraid I will run out of ink.Tears of joy… joy that he will no longer have the power to hurt, belittle and abuse me. The marriage tittle gave him the right to destroy me but it’s over.I will do my best to Live happy and mentally healthy. We are not meant to live sad nor scared everyday, life is not supposed to be that way.Marriage should be a relationship where you feel safe, strong , accepted, and love.I am working progress to be the person I used to be and I wanted to be.I become wise, strong and unapologetic.He brings out the lion out of the cat in me..Life experienced truly mold me of who I am today.Got my own flat at the nicest safe neighborhood. my daughter goes to one of the best school in the states with her good friends, found a great job and happy with my freedom, Still working to finish my degree. Im traveling more often, It is safe to say I am strong attracted women who been through soo much but no one can break me.I never stop reminding my 10 year old daughter one day she’ll step into the real world and I’ll never want her to experience what I went through but a strong lesson to remind her about the values of self love and understanding what healthy relationships looks like.I want her to be happy,confident and strong educated women.Mr nightmare ex is heading to his 4th marriage this year. I wish I could tell him to re-evaluate himself before destroying around another soul. I felt bad for that young women, she doesn’t know what’s coming.

The teaching staff of my department didn't help me much. Out of 30+ lecturers who have taught me ~50 courses in my 4 years at NITK, only 2 or 3 have genuinely helped me. That limited help was mostly in form of motivation, encouragement, support and appreciation. I received very less technical help from faculty members.This is my last semester at NITK and a lot of times, I have felt that I could have taught the course better than the lecturer. Some of my classmates have more exposure and experience in the subject than the faculty member. A lecturer once confessed openly in classroom that he had no idea about the course he is teaching and that he is doing so only because he has no choice. Such is the state of lecturers in NITK.And I would also like to point out that some faculty members who are secretly active on all social networking websites (including Quora) ensure that students don't write their opinion about them. Basically, there is no way to give feedback and faculty members do not handle negative feedbacks well. You can't even approach a mentor of your choice (even if both the mentor and you have a mutual agreement and interest) because the other faculty members would protest. There is dirty politics and corruption. Some faculty members have proved beyond any doubt that they are sexist and hypocrites.The faculty members have only prevented me from exploring more. They didn't aid my learning rather they prevented me from learning. However, I think this extra struggle helped me. I learnt self-learning. There were few genuinely good lecturers whom I respect and I will forever be indebted to them. The department and the institute is highly understaffed and they are doing the best they can to fill up the positions. It's easy to complain about the problem rather than do something about it. Considering that my education at NITK was highly subsidised, I think the situation wasn't as bad as it sounds. Plus, the situation in most Indian colleges including NITs and IITs isn't much better.I chose to do online courses and found out useful ways to utilise my classroom time effectively.

“Customer acquisition nightmare”Hacking an effective way of getting your first paying users, needs a sound strategy, planning, and intelligent execution. Selling your first SaaS product is one of the hardest challenges any SaaS startup has to beat. However, the idea of making a sale anytime, anywhere you are (even when you are asleep) gives the providers such a liberating feeling.Here are Hot 9 strategies to lock in Initial Saas product customers:1.Focus on sales explorationStart with your network. Tap into the network of the people you know. Your acquaintances, friends, friends of your friends, co-workers, alumni, past employees. Remember to ask for introductions before banging them with your product.What is the objective of doing this?You are not aiming to close a deal at this point (there is no pain if you close one too). The essence is to focus on early stage sales exploration and sales engagement. Take your time to listen and understand your customers better. Make sure you get what their pain points are.2.Figure out who your customer is and where to find themIdentifying your real customer is not an accident. Don’t just be a product or service guy. B2B selling is harder and a little bit complicated. Look for forums where people are looking for your product. Here is a list of platforms where you can find your customers. You can also hit freelancing websites (Up work, Guru, etc) and look job postings that are relevant to your niche.3.Leverage on targeted traffic.We are talking about the power of advertising. The competition is stiff. Lots of noises out there. If you need to go through the clutter, you have to pay. Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Adwords, Facebook or any other method of airing traffic that works. To be on the safe side, start off small and make sure you measure the progress of your campaign. Otherwise, you’ll lose a lot of money and achieve nothing out of it.Put up a landing page and drive targeted traffic there.Now that you have a good source of traffic. Put up a landing page. You can use a different domain name than the one your product is hosted on. Do a great sales copy, not a vague one-liner. Make the copy a bit long and describe in details all of the benefits and the features. Most importantly, the pain points it seeks to resolve. If you don’t have an exact pricing, mention that would be a premium product. Otherwise, let the readers know what your pricing plan is. Provide email opt-in form at the end to get in on the launch and secure a spot in the free beta.4.What to do with the list(Email ids)Personally, email each one of them and schedule phone calls to dig into exactly how they expect your solution to help them. During the first 2-3 months of using the free software in beta, send your list about 3-4 emails and simply update them on the progress of your team and let them say what they need. Let them know that by joining the free beta, they will enjoy a lifetime 10%, 20%, 30 % discount later when you launch publicly with paid plans.After 2-3 months, send an email to your beta users and give them a 30-day window to log in and upgrade to a paid plan, with certain percentage discount locked in for life.Why this option works.It is open and up-front about where we were at every step of the way.The customers will have sufficient time to fully evaluate your customer support, the product, and the rest.Personalized service and over-delivered every step of the way.A lifetime discount to take advantage of it is a good incentive to make those first sign ups happen.5.Cold emailing and calling.Check if you have a mailing list? Use it to get paid users. Craft a winning cold email and sent it to your list. Do not expect lots of positive response from the emails you send. Sometimes you have to send more follow up emails to get them responding. Prospects’behavior tracking tool would be a booster for your sales team. Schedule a call, if possible. Personally, I have seen many startups close deals with calling. If done well, you can’t fail to close several sales.6.Referral programsMany SaaS providers get their customers from referrals. If you have paying users, you can request them to refer their friends or acquaintances to your software. You can give them a link and let know what percentage they will earn once they refer new users to your site. Your first 4-6 users can bring in another 4-6 users and you’ll be looking at around 18-12 users. However, not all users go for such arrangements. If you are not sure how to do it, you can use something like referralsnip.comto help you get it out there quickly.7.Capitalize on 3rd Party IntegrationsIt is difficult for startups to make a mark on the noise-filled, mass-appeal marketplace like the Google Apps store. To beat that challenge, most upcoming applications have resorted to creating their own ecosystem play. Now they are coming with their own APIs and directories of integration partners. As a SaaS start up, invest your time and resources on where you can be discovered: that means integrating with other smaller apps than with Google App store. Some companies, for instance, integrate Evernote via its API and use it a platform to advertise with. Below is a list of other apps you may be interested in integrating with.BufferiContactEventbriteZendeskBasecampCampfireShopifyConstant ContactHighriseWufooFormstackYammerZohoMailchimpFreshbooksHubspotStocktwitsMiteYou can dig up for more.8.Media, Blog mentions & Expert “Endorsements”This is about getting expert social proof, a very effective way of getting your 11 paying customers. Blog mentions by industry leaders or expert “endorsements’ can generate the trust customers need to take up your product. As a result of the trust, many targeted users will come looking for your site.What you need to do:Offer a case study for industry top analysts.Be awesome and get on mixedenergy.com. This applies mostly to founders.Guest post on KISSMetricsConnect with industry insiders, be awesome and get mentioned or featured on industry rags.For more information about expert endorsements, you can take a look at this post.9.Give out freebiesBefore you ask for anything from your customers, be on the first line of giving. You don’t have to give ‘just anything’. Give out VALUE that people will want to use or share.Mirasee.com does this beautifully with their, 10 Rules of the VISIONARY BUSINESS e-book. You’ll see a call to action box on their first page. They update it regularly and it’s one of best free e-books on list building. The Benefit is not to convert their first-time visitors into paid subscribers. Their target is getting the brand out to many peopleFreebies accomplish several goals.Deliver value and demonstrate knowledge on what you are doing.Freebies build trust in your brand or product.If the freebies are good, they are shared across different networks, giving your product more exposure.Give out these freebies if you want to signNow out to many people.Beginner’s Guides,InfographicsWebinars,Free consultations,Interviews,Podcasts,E-booksBlog PostsWhite Paperstwitter.comDid you know giving your #SaaS product free for use at the beta stage is also a strategic freebie?CLICK TO TWEETStart with your launch with a private beta which is free. This is a common strategy adopted by many SaaS startups. And, it is very effective. Launch your product in private and offer it free for use to select few who you are targeting for use.Another way is offering free sign up for up to 3 months. This gives ample of time for brands to interact with your software solution and the support team before letting them upgrade to paid subscriptions.Summing up…Simply developing an awesome SaaS product is not enough. You need to put up solid strategies to make it stand out and close the first few sales. However, this is not a cheap task. It requires meticulous planning, crafting killer cold emails, making cold calls and aggressively looking for expert endorsements. Where possible, you may come up with a referral program that can help bring on more and more user to your product.Now, over to you…What strategies have you used (you are using) to get the first few paid users?

I was fired twice from the same job, both for ridiculous reasons.I worked for a lead generation service that sold qualified lists of homeowners over the telephone to financial advisers. I was at my desk one evening when I pulled out my flip-phone and checked the time (this was circa 2009, so i didn’t have to even open the phone i just checked the tiny screen on the top). As I was putting it back into my pocket I heard a voice behind me say, “Is that phone call you just took more important than the one you were supposed to be on?”I turned around. There were two men in suits behind me. One of them was the general manager of the company, the one who hired me three weeks before. The other one, the one who spoke, was the owner and president, who I had never met.“Oh,” I said to him plainly. “I wasn’t on a call, I was just checking the time.” I had my phone in my hand still so I raised it up to show him. The screen on the front lit up blue, displaying the time and date. (BTW, it was five minutes before the end of the work day)“Get the fuck out,” He said to me.“Excuse me?” I asked. “You mean like leave for the day?”“No,” He said. “You’re fired. Get out of my sight.” He called for my department manager. “I just fired one of your guys for being on his phone.” He told her.“Wait,” I begged. “Please, just let me explain.” I held my phone up to him and tried to show that I had not been on a call.“Get that shit out of my face,” He said, waving me away. “You’re done.”“But I wasn’t on my phone!” I whined. Around me I started to hear snickers and muffled laughter from some of the people in the office.“You want me to call the cops and have them remove you?” He bellowed. “Get the fuck out!”After I left I called the department manager. She told me right away she knew I wasn’t on my phone, not just because other people in the office who saw the whole thing told her what happened, but also because I happened to be good at my job and wasn’t on my phone slacking off when I was supposed to be making sales. I asked her if that meant I was still fired. She said yes. The boss is the boss, and this particular boss has a habit of doing these things, she said.Finding another job was hard, and I was forced to take work cleaning people’s houses. The girl I was dating literally called me a maid and stopped seeing me. My power got shut off and I was running an extension cord out of my window to siphon electricity from the neighbors. My dog got lymphoma.After about a month, I got a message on my phone from the general manager. He told me to call him back whenever I got a chance. When I did, he told me that he was sorry about the whole thing, and that he wanted me to come back to work. It turned out that even after getting fired I still ended up leading the department in sales. Also, my manager was related by marriage to the boss, and over the 4th of July she had apparently drunkenly confronted him over the episode, to which he finally acquiesced and told the GM to re-hire me.I worked there for almost another year. During that time, I saw plenty of people get fired for things that were much more trivial than checking your phone.I saw a guy get fired on his first day. Over lunch he told us how he had been out of work and was so glad to have a job because he had a wife and a kid to support. He was instructed to phone a financial adviser whose file he was taking over, and the adviser asked him how long he’d been with the company. When he told him it was his first day, the client requested that his file be taken over by someone with more experience. The guy got up from his desk and relayed that message to the boss. He was fired immediately for not lying to the client and telling him that he’d been there for years. The guy's eyes rolled up into the back of his head and he passed out onto the floor. The boss didn’t call an ambulance, he called the police.Every African-American employee in our building got fired one time because they all happened to be friends on facebook after one of them posted something bad about the company. He once fired a girl as a joke, and when he told her it was a joke she got mad, so he fired her for real. There was a period of about three months where the training video for new hires was a DVD of the stock fraud film Boiler Room.Eventually, I hit a bad spell, and ended up near the bottom of the sales chart. I was given a sudden death-type probation, which was not uncommon there. The next day, though, I performed well. My numbers weren’t fantastic, but they were thoroughly decent. That didn’t make me feel any safer, though. I got called in to the boss’s office at the end of the day.He told me that my “talk time” was low, which is a metric which shows how long you spend on calls while working. The number that he quoted was absurdly low, so much so that if it was accurate and I had posted the sales numbers that I did, then I would have to be the greatest salesman of all time. It would have meant that I closed my sales within seconds of making contact with the customer, which is just not possible. When he asked, I told him that I didn’t think that metric was accurate. In fact, my exact words were, “I’m not sure those numbers are entirely accurate.”“Get the fuck out,” He said.I got up from the chair and left his office. I had told myself before that if I ever got fired again I wasn’t going out begging like the last time. The GM followed me out into the hallway and into the elevator. After a long and awkward silence, he finally turned to me and said, “I’m sorry, this is messed up.”“I know.” I said to him. I went to my desk and gathered my things. I wasn’t ready to get fired this time, either. I had just bought a brand new computer. I had committed a signNow amount of free time to a community theater production that was to premiere in a month. My dog was in the middle of chemotherapy treatments for her lymphoma.I was on unemployment for about two months. It really sucked. I had to break out the extension cord again. I finally got a job waiting tables during the graveyard shift at an IHOP an hour away from where I lived. The restaurant made an error on my paycheck stub and said I started earlier than I actually had. The Dept. of Labor accused me of fraud and eventually garnished my tax return to take back the money they thought I stole. Two years later I got a letter acknowledging that they made a mistake. They returned $36.
