The 20-Point Guide to Looking Busy at Work 😄 One may genuinely be very busy at work most of the time . But during that 5–10% of the time when you are NOT busy , it is extremely important to look busy, feel busy, and make sure everyone knows you are busy — otherwise, you may lose the rhythm! Follow this simple 20-point To-Do List : 1. 🎧 The Earbuds Rule Always have your earbuds/headphones on. Every few minutes, nod your head thoughtfully or move your hands animatedly, as though you are deeply engaged in an important call. 2. ☕ The Busy Coffee Walk Once in a while, take your laptop in one hand, keep your earbuds on, and walk to the pantry for water or coffee. Continue nodding occasionally. The “meeting” must apparently continue even during hydration. 3. 🍱 The Early Lunch Exit Always have lunch with a group/team. Finish about five minutes before everyone else, suddenly look at the time and say: “Excuse me, I gotta go for an important meeting.” Leave briskly. 4. 📅 ...

. சோம்பேறித்தனம் என்பது பண்டைய காலத்திலிருந்தே இருந்து வருவதாகவும், டைனோசார்கள் சோம்பேறித்தனத்தை விட்டுவிட்டதால்தான் அவை அழிந்துபோயின என்றும் நியூசிலாந்தைச் சேர்ந்த விஞ்ஞானி பிபா நுப்ர சாது அவர்கள் மிகுந்த ஆராய்ச்சி செய்து தெரிவித்துள்ளார். எப்போதும் தியானத்தில் இருக்கும் அந்த சதாசிவனின் தேஜஸில் உள்ள பரமானந்தத்தின் ஒரு பகுதிதான் இந்த சோம்பேறித்தனம் என்று பிரபல உபன்யாசகர், தத்துவஞானி, ஸ்ரீ ஸ்ரீ ஸ்ரீ ராப்போலு ஸ்ரீகாந்தாசார்யுலு அவர்கள் அருளிச்செய்துள்ளார். யோகாவில் “சோம்பேறி ஆசனம்” என்பது யோகசாஸ்திரத்தில் எப்போதோ இருந்தே சொல்லப்பட்டு வருவதாகும். சவாசனத்தில் உடலை அசைக்காமல் எப்படி ஓய்வெடுக்கிறோமோ, அதேபோல் சோம்பேறி ஆசனத்திலும் மனமும் உடலும் ஓய்வெடுக்கின்றன. இதனால் உடல் உறுப்புகள் அனைத்தும் நீண்ட நாட்களுக்கு ஆரோக்கியமாக இருக்கும் என்று பிரபல யோகா நிபுணர் ஸ்ரீ ரங்க சாய் அவர்கள் தெரிவித்துள்ளார். உலக மக்கள் தங்களுடைய அன்றாட வாழ்க்கையில் சோம்பேறித்தனத்தை ஒரு பகுதியாக ஆக்கிக்கொள்ள வேண்டும் என்றும், அது சமூக நலனுக்கு பெரிதும் உதவும் என்றும், சோம்பேறிகள் அனைவரும் ஒரு கூட்டமைப்பாக உருவாகி, சோம...

  Let there be obstacles o Vighnanayaka…if our karma has been bad..:and am sure of engineers have a huge wns and tns of karma..let the synth give elab issues and iterations with rtl..:let the area be not enough and struggle to meet the reticle die sizes…let there be congestion which is quite adamant to go blue…let the derates and ofc have a huge laugh looking at the useful skew used…let the routability struggle like poor commuters on the blr orr…let the IR drop more than the Sensex…let the correlation with signoff tools be as bad as a newly wed couple…let the equivalence be so bad like checking Aadhaar card photo…let there be functional bugs, let there be crashes and server downs…let there be mistakes and misses…let all these obstacles come in the early phases, give us buddhi and help to resolve these by the final phase…let them all come only in the pre silicon…let the Tapeout and post silicon be obstacle free…avighnamasthu…gam ganapathaye namaha 🙏 Happy Vinayaka Chavithi 🙂🙏

  Inherent in PD engineers to just meet the setup time without violating the hold time 🙂 also ask for some waiver on setup uncertainty but never violate hold 🙂 Metal DRCs can be left out for presentation time let the base get through... Start the gds out while the final sta and PV runs are still on... Submitting in time is an NP problem for Engineers in general and PD engineers in particular... so when the time is 'on time' they wrap it up with bare minimum aspects met and stop the algo... 90% of timing violations converge in the eco stages...the real work starts with the war room or the dungeon... But then what's the fun 'in time'..:the fun is in the tie breaker./.the super over...the Argentina scoring to level and more in the last of the extra time... The real fun is in the last picosecond...

  आलस्य महिमा आलस्य प्राचीन काल से ही अस्तित्व में है। न्यूज़ीलैंड के प्रसिद्ध वैज्ञानिक बिभा नुप्र सादू ने वर्षों के शोध के बाद बताया कि डायनासोर इसलिए विलुप्त हो गए क्योंकि उन्होंने आलस्य छोड़कर अधिक सक्रिय जीवन अपनाया। सदैव ध्यानमग्न रहने वाले भगवान सदाशिव के तेज में स्थित परम आनंद का ही एक अंश यह आलस्य है, ऐसा प्रसिद्ध प्रवचनकार, तत्त्वचिंतक श्री श्री श्री रापोलु श्रीकांताचार्य ने कहा। योगशास्त्र में “आलस्यासन” का उल्लेख प्राचीन काल से ही मिलता है। जिस प्रकार शवासन में शरीर को पूर्ण विश्राम मिलता है, उसी प्रकार आलस्यासन में शरीर और मन दोनों को संपूर्ण विश्राम प्राप्त होता है। इससे शरीर के सभी अंग अधिक समय तक स्वस्थ और टिकाऊ बने रहते हैं, ऐसा प्रसिद्ध योग विशेषज्ञ श्री रंगा साई ने बताया। विश्व के सभी लोगों को अपने दैनिक जीवन में आलस्य को एक अभिन्न अंग बनाना चाहिए। इससे समाज के कल्याण में अत्यंत बड़ा योगदान मिलेगा। सभी आलसी लोग एक मंच पर आकर आलस्य के लाभों का व्यापक प्रचार करें और लोगों में जागरूकता फैलाएँ, ऐसा संकल्प लेने वाले प्रसिद्ध समाजसेवी आलस्यब्रह्म श्री ज्ञानेश्व...

 A new born baby demands continuous, restless days and nights to the extent that becomes the norm and the parents forget the ‘normal’ days. As a PD engineer with days and weeks and months of restlessness and night outs with new rtls, timing closure, ECOs is well trained to handle this. Giving a short run and a fix and waiting for the update timing and report timing and taking a few minutes nap is akin to the baby sleeping for a few minutes windows and waking up all energetic in the nights…the crawling baby or a just learnt-to-walk baby goes anywhere pulling anything on the way with a lot of energy demands the parent to be continuously vigilant, keep putting the baby back to safety…a small distraction will create a lot of rework as the baby spills the milk or similar things causing lot of rework…a small mistake in the settings or inputs or files creates a lot of rework in PD too…there is absolutely no idea what the baby wants and all it does is to cry…only the mother knows what it n...

 There is so much we learnt from our father being with him, looking at how he worked, with so much dedication to his bank, to his work, honesty, responsibility, how he handled everyday issues...while our mother took care of everything else at home and of the family, a typical day during our Dad's working period is nothing short of a thriller movie...Dad needs to be there at the bank on time as one set of the key keys are with him and they cannot afford the public to be waiting for the bank to open even a few minutes late...that being the setup time to be met, the distance to cover with the traffic still had quite an uncertainty...while the start time of the bank is to be met, the end time hold time is quite long...coming home very late every day, the next day starts slightly late and then there is a heavy push to meet the timing...Eenadu needs to be read fully...and any interesting political event or a good article (there was no dearth of those then) will add to the OCV...one stron...

  A relation between any two individuals is an asynchronous clock domain interface with two different clocks on either side. Very rarely the interface is synchronous. The power domains, voltages, signoff corners can be different. Each following a different protocol. To make it work still, a suitable synchroniser logic needs to be built as a bridge with sufficient depth. One may be running at high voltage at some point but Level shifters need to be added to get along. One may be down, power gated sometimes and isolation cells may be needed with appropriate controls. Retention helps to maintain the relationship. The interfacing logic still need to be placed closer with max delay constraints and skew and latency requirements so they listen to each other still. The setup has a cushion but hold with a lot of patience need to be closed at cross corners covering the extremes. Temperatures may rise and cold wars may arise but hold needs to be closed to maintain the functionality. It should...

 Everyone has a buffer in their vocal cord…if you use a high drive strength and shout, it may drive the signal farther and deeper but it adds lot of xtalk, noise violations, power wastage, needs lot of shielding and can sometimes violate hold which we cannot take back with an apology buffers…always use optimal drive buffers, set high drive buffers as don’t use…for a longer reliability in relationships.. some people have an entire 8 bit octave control bus with DVFS and power gating installed and when they sing, the signals switch simultaneously and melodiously.. normally one should use inverter pairs so the duty cycle distortion is balanced...the inverter pair indicates whenever the voltage rises, we better fall it back to reduce the distortion of the meaning what we want to convey... if one has an odd number of inverters, obviously the lec fails and to make lec pass, more inverters are added which makes it difficult to debug and fix the lec eventually... very low drive buffers do n...

 Many people build strong careers and reach very high positions and roles like VP, SVP, Sr Dir and all. They would have started from deep nwell and substrates and built a strong foundation with their talent, skills, capabilities like active, non linear devices. They would have built strong drive strengths that can handle large capacitances, transitions. Over a period of time, they move up the metals, layer by layer, through the competitive congestion, networking on the way with useful xtalk, collaboration with others. They reach to the top layers with strong via pillars. At the top, they draw the required power and current from the bumps and distribute to their orgs and teams. The resistance at the top is lesser and congestion is lesser. They normally then are used to talking more, giving instructions and not much of listening. The top layer widths are more and they can handle more current and the people at top handle lot more pressure. so far so good but the issue comes up when th...

  Dear PD fellas, a) in PD, 1here will be lots of pressure. We handle it normally but dont take stress. keep a sensor out there and the moment it is crossing a stress threshold, reduce the voltage and take it easy.  b) Always enjoy your work. Most of the work will be routine and needed but I am sure all of u like PD and enjoy it. Take a break when it gets overwhelmed. there will be incessant things that keep coming from all the PVT corners. just inform that u will get back or u need time or just take time to respond is all fine. Hold it..hold time is ur best weapon..  c) manage your breaks, off times, as per your timelines and way of work. If any meetings r not convenient, inform ahead.  Health  is priority. Make sure there is an architectural clock gating for all work with enable directly coming from the health. d) always keep a secondary owner for things that you drive. so, help each other out and cover for each other. Like the Gladiators team up in the arena....

 What we r seen outside is our abstract view; with pins to connect to, where can be routed and where not. What we r inside is deep, detailed layers with more accurate timing. But eventually the signoff timing, equivalence, lvs should all match Whether it’s a 2ghz or a 200mhz design, they hv their own set of vios to fix. Wr it’s a billionaire or a commoner, they hv their own worries The tapeout date is the day when the tapeout actually happens. Not a day before and not a day after - satyase, since 1999 Any issue that goes off without actually fixing it will come back in the most critical and least expected stage  ~satyase The probability of the release getting postponed and postponed and postponed and falling on the exact date of long planned travel date is just 1ps less than 100%. ~satyase All humans and PD Engineers have certain amount of luck for life. While others utilize it for better things in life, the PD folks use it but by bit for Drc fixes, timing fixes, better weekly...

 Chash was our college topper. Our college itself had the best rankers and many of them themselves big thopus (for high iq fellas) but everyone was unanimous that Chash is above the higher threshold. he is now a professor at iisc but we always knew and he behaved like one even in the college. Howard landman was brought in as a PD manager when in house it was getting difficult to manage us. Soon we realised pd was just one of the many, many things he is an expert on. At 65+ now he still submits new papers on a variety of topics whose titles I don’t understand. Very recently met two other such friends ; one of them I call stg (tg stands for the great) and they belong to that voltage domain too. Our own Avi fits right in that high threshold category and it is always a pleasure to listen to him talk everything in everything with a deep nwell depth…ash is supposed to represent nothingness but he finds Audio Video in Ash too…happy birthday my friend…have a great year ahead 🙂
