Yaadein Chacha Chaudhary Ki...........



Chacha Chaudhary Comics
We all in our child hood would have read comics, but I feel, “Chacha Chaudhary” , would have been loved by everyone of us.
Chacha Chaudhary (Hindi: चाचा चौधरी) is a very popular Indian comic book character, created by cartoonist Pran Kumar Sharma. The comic comes in ten Indian languages including Hindi and English and has sold almost ten million copies.
We would always remember a statement of comics, “Chacha Chaudhary ka deemag   computer se bhi tez daurta hai”.
Chacha Chaudhary was created in 1971 for the Hindi magazine Lotpot. It soon became popular among kids and the elderly alike.
Chacha Chaudhary's attire includes his red turban, a wooden stick, a waistcoat with a double inside pocket, and a pocket watch. His household consists of his wife Bini (Chachi), a faithful street dog called Rocket and a giant called Sabu.
Sabu is an alien from the planet Jupiter, always faithful to Chacha and provides the physical strength in time of need. He is huge and strong, about 15 feet tall. In some comics he is able to increase his size. He wears only a wrestler's kachha (briefs), a pair of ear-rings and a pair of gum-boots.
Sabu decided to stay at Earth with Chacha Chaudhary when he tasted delicious paratha and halwamade by Chachi during his visit to earth. Sabu has a twin brother called Dabu and the giant earrings that Sabu wears had been gifted to him by his mother when he left Jupiter. According to the comics, whenever Sabu gets angry, a volcano erupts at some distant place(this is stated in a panel with a picture of a volcano erupting, which says, "When Sabu is Angry, a Volcano Erupts at some distant place in jupiter"). Whenever he performs an act of great strength, he utters the cry, "Hu-Huba!". Sabu eats 108 chapatis at a time, 12 kilos of halwa and about 20 litres of lassi in one meal. He is not married, and avoids the topic. Sabu has little brain for his size seems to follow instructions obidiently and is never seen using whatever little brain he has.

Technical Writer Motivates Team Work


















The success of a project is usually reflected by the amount of team work and communication that occurs.
Technical writer is a professional who interacts with high level  to middle level employees in a firm. As writer, attends meeting with the client and project managers at initial investigation stage of the SDLC, then with developers to practically use and understand process flow of the product, review the documentation with team lead and finally verification and validation of the document is done by the Quality Analyst.
A technical writer’s primary responsibility is to effectively communicate a technical message. Technical writers are responsible for creating documentation that is accurate and complete, but as concise as possible, and as easy for the intended readership to understand.
Thus technical writers encourage the team to work together. When the team is interacting, they can creatively solve problem, as well as spend their time finding ways to work as efficiently as possible. The team will work harder because they know they’re not the only person that matters. They have a team depending on them too.


Technical writers can add a great deal of value to your products or services because they are trained to:


  • Understand the requirements of the information they produce, not only formatting and size requirements and restrictions, but balancing the need to provide adequate useful information against the danger of providing too much information, which can lead to confusion and information overload.
  • Understand the needs of the audience or users who will be using the materials they produce and become advocates for those users. By placing themselves in the user’s position, technical writers often      identify areas that are confusing or just don’t work the way a user would expect them to work.
  • Arrange the material in such a way as to promote ease of use and fast access to needed information.
  • Alert users to the perils of performing a task incorrectly or of failing to perform a required task or safety measure.
  • Harmonize technical communication deliverable with your product’s or service’s branding and messaging.
  • Look for ways to perform tasks that are easier and/or more efficient or that increase the margin of safety.

Technical writers are not just writers, although that is certainly a major aspect of their duties. They are also user advocates, researchers, testers and publishers. All tasks at the end, are performed to enhance the usability and value of your products or services. In short, technical writers are communications professionals accustomed to working with highly technical information and complex subjects.
