Know Your CEan-Shubhankar Deshkar

Posted: 30 May 2011 09:38 AM PDT

Hello CEans we are back once again with our KYCEan series and this time presenting the one of the very active CEans a CE Maniac and a VoiCE author,his areas of interest are Electrical Machines & Power Station Practice. He is an active participant in CE’s Electrical & Electronics Engineering Section,he is none other than Shubhankar Deshkar.

 Read the following interview to know more about him.

 Cooldudeiet : Hi shubhankar, you are a Crazy Electrical Engineer, tell us more about yourself.
Shubhankar : I have appeared for the third year exams and willing to do my PG in energy management systems because it is the need of the hour. I love to meet new people.

 Cooldudeiet : How did you get introduced to CrazyEngineers (CE)?
Shubhankar : I met The Big K at the silver jubilee function of our college last year and this is how i came to know about CE.

 Cooldudeiet : Why did you take up this particular engineering trade? What do you like the most about it?
Shubhankar : Electric machines have always been fascinating to me right from when i could understand them. Even in childhood, i used to play and experiment with the small dc motor driven by a pencil cell. The Vastness and the gigantic nature of this field (huge towers, plants, transformers) is the thing I like the most.

Cooldudeiet : What is the biggest achievement in your life so far?
Shubhankar : Amongst a team of 26 people out of 40 who managed to reach the pinnacle of the Hamtah pass, i was the first member to reach there and i still cherish those spine chilling memories. :)

Cooldudeiet : Who are your idols or inspirations and Why?
Shubhankar : Our Guru Maharaj is my idol, my source of inspiration as he has been the guiding force in my life. Though not completely, i have been learning the correct way to deal with the people. Benevolence is another important thing which i have learnt in the process.

Cooldudeiet : What's your favorite pass time?
Shubhankar : I love to read inspirational and leadership quotes. But they are not restrained to mere reading. I try to follow them in my life. moreover I like to hear songs and play tabla.
.
 Cooldudeiet : What is your aim/goal? How you are preparing yourself to achieve it?
Shubhankar : I won't say that i do not want money. Yes i want money to help the poor and the needy. I want to be the richest person only because I want to be a charitable person and a philanthropist. I want to help the underprivileged children so that they get educated and become the bright future of our country so that India becomes a superpower in near future. I worked with Zero Gravity which is a Shrikant Jichkar foundation for some time. They help the children in the orphanages.Though the time i spent was not substantial, I could get the Crux of the process.

Cooldudeiet : What is your plan to start a Business related to
electrical consultancies and contractorship? Can you let us know something about it?
Shubhankar : The business is established. I wish not to just continue the legacy, but to extend the horizons of the company. I want to open branches in different cities. Electrical contractorship is the process in which you get the contract from a Mall or a Township Or row houses or anything for that matter. then you deploy your men to work on the building plan for complete electrical wiring of the structure. Consultancy is doing an energy audit of the sight and just giving the wiring layout and plans to the people. they get it executed from elsewhere.


Cooldudeiet : As we got to know that you want to help the village people,which type of Strategy do you have in mind and to achieve this?
Shubhankar : I will approaching the NGO's. There are various Self help groups (SHG) in the villages which are trained by the NGOs which in turn educate the people. I will try my level best to provide resources to the NGOs as direct help by going to the grass root level at each and every village is impracticable.

Cooldudeiet : Share your Himalayan tracking experience with CEans ? How you enjoyed there and difficulties you faced?
Shubhankar : It was one hell of an experience. I could feel the purity, simplicity and power of nature in the Himalayas. It was great that we learnt how team work is important in day to day life. Basically, you learn to move out of your comfort zones and stretch your limits. I had an acute stomach ache for two days during the trek. But i was not given any medicine and i was left to myself to bear the pain. i trekked for two days with that stomach pain and the third day it was all gone. only then i realised that i have the power to bear so much pain and move on. The one thing i learnt from the mountains is that you have to be humble. You can't climb a mountain with your spine straight. You have to stoop forward lean down to respect his greatness and only them you can climb (or succeed in life)

 Cooldudeiet : You are involved in so much Extracurricular activities? what are those and how you manage your time?
Shubhankar : I love to sing and i have been singing in the college orchestra. I love playing tabla in my spare time. I am also the Music Coordinator of the college and a member of the Students' representative council. I have also won paper presentation competitions. I believe every moment is meant for learning. may it be mild or rigorous. one should keep learning till the end of the life. So try to optimally utilize my time in the best possible way and that does the trick. If you have your priorities set, you are bound to waste less time.

Cooldudeiet : What changes you found in yourself before and after joining CE?
Shubhankar : There is a drastic improvement in my Vocab and my general knowledge also. I thank CE for giving such a great platform to the budding engineers.

Cooldudeiet : If you were given a chance to take a role in CE, what would you like to have and What would you do for CE?
Shubhankar : I would like to and i am an author for CE for the voiCE section and I would like to continue with that and I would do everything possible to Make CE the number 1 engineering website over the globe.
