This is a first time feeling. The more you tend to know people better, the more is the scope for you to improve. Well, I have always intended to compare myself with my own self but, I realize that I am a human and therefore I cannot keep thinking the same thing always. I have always compared myself with others. I am not consoling myself that I was trying to find out loop holes for me to improve but I also realized that others see it as a rat race. This is so real and what I want to convey in this post is hunger is within and anger is what is seen outside.
It’s almost two months now and I have got acquainted with new people. It’s almost two years since I started blogging. I claimed in the past two years that I wanted to have an online visibility and that was the reason why I wanted to have my own web portal too. When I reached Bangalore, I knew that I had to become a passive blogger. I became more of a reader of others blogs and I realized that I had to write quality content so that I can sustain the blogosphere. It is more than three months, there have been a lot of meaningless contents, more meaningful to me but might mean less to others. Now is the right time for a transition. More serious topics starting from alchemy to Zetas will be narrated in detail in my blog.
The more powerful is the content, the more reaching the blog as well as my voice will be. The mood is about to change!
A lot of us would like to redirect to another page after showing some loading animation to the end user. Well, this does not involve great animation skills. For a developer, a simple HTML and Java script would do well
I just implemented one and thought of sharing it. I attempted to use setTimeout() to call a function that redirects the current page to another page. In the meantime, we can show some gif animation stating processing/ loading to engage the user. This will provide an illusion to the user that something is happening on the page.
I am a bachelor in Engineering. This is something that I am proud of, but being unmarried also puts you in a situation where you are a bachelor. This blog is a glimpse about the glitches that I faced in the past two weeks!
It was really sudden news. Something that I expected and craved for happened all of a sudden. I was displaying a mixture of reactions on my face. My mind was telling me one thing and the heart was telling the other. But it was decided that I no longer cheer for Chennai Super Kings and I had to support Royal Challengers Bangalore.
After the training, it was something that I was expecting that people will be posted to Bangalore. I had to move to Bangalore within a few days. It was exciting as I felt that it was a new beginning. I did not know that I was moving towards a blind curve but the thrill continued to excite me. What is so exciting in this?
I am moving out of home for the first time and I am going to stay alone, “Happily ever after” – This was the thought in my mind and I constantly felt that it was an understatement. After reaching Bangalore, I heard people telling me that, they were feeling home sick. Well, I didn’t have time for that as I was desperately searching for a house. I didn’t even feel comfortable talking with my parents who were unable to digest the fact that I am no longer going to stay with them. Till date, I didn’t feel home sick the only reason is because; I didn’t get a house to live.
I could see people trying to cheat me and trying to get money from my wallet, the simple reason is I did not have a place to stay. As my guru says, “You do good things, good things happen to you”. Well, I really do not know what good I did or my parents did. I ended up getting in touch with someone whom I know through my father. He had a house in a place which was about an hour from my office. I was staying at my friend’s place but I really wished I get a house for rent. So I opted for the same.
There was a dog in the house. I am afraid of dogs but purpose is more important than process. So I chose the house and told myself “This is where I am going to live”. It wasn’t all that easy for a bachelor, first time free bird to get a house in Bangalore. Now, I am inquisitive to see better problems in life.
India is a secular nation is the first thing that strikes my mind when I think about my civics book. This is reality and every India believes this. It is almost after 60 + years after Independence, there are politicians who still talk about minorities. Islam, Hinduism or any religion for that matter preches the same thing and it is only we humans who interpret it differently. Yes, no two fingers are alike but the reality is that, we make it like a Business.
Couple of days back, Faizal was arrested in America for the terror attack near the New York Time Square. A community of Muslims in the states are being looked closely and are always screened and suspected as terrorists. At this moment, I am actually proud to state that, my brothers in India who are muslims are probably leading a more safer and secular life in our country than others Muslims in other countries. Dr. APJ Abdul Khalam was widely accepted as the President of India which is the #1 Citizen position and the Indian citizen respect him with a great gesture. The rulers of the Indian film industry are the Khans. The Mozart of Madras AR Rahman who has brought the golden globe and the academy awards under his kettle is a follower of Islam. Muslims are given priority even though politics run stating that they are the minorities. It is also an irony that, Indian muslims are a part right from the parliament till the cricket team.
They are indeed our respectable friends! Proud to be an Indian.
It is almost a year since I started working for corporates. I have had opportunities to work with people who dared to dream big and those who realized their dream. My bosses were brainy and appreciated skills and talent. At the end, I wanted to recollect one of the key learning in the last one year. It is with great difficulty, I have identified this.
As a baby, I didn’t learn to walk on day 1. But since I am a kid, it was easy for me to tell “Sorry”, “It’s not my mistake”. I think, what differentiates exceptional people is their urge to take accountability. A thorn never gets stuck to your feet. It is you who actually stepped on the thorn. Before pointing a finger at others, it is very important for us to realize that, there are four fingers pointing at us. Very similarly, I transformed myself into a person who takes accountability when something goes wrong. I was being recognized as a learner.
This is a very good leadership quality as well as the pro-activeness of an individual is clearly visible.
A lot of times, my friends used to ask me a reason why I deny to drink. There used to many reasons and at times there used to be none. In the name of religious principles, I used to dodge and escape from the place. Well, this has been in my mind for a while as to why, Hinduism tells you not to drink.
When I began to surf through the internet, I came to know about the fact that, there lies a mythical story behind why I am advised not to drink. I don’t question spiritual beliefs. So I thought of writing a blog about this. Indian mythology is way ahead of Indian history. So I believe that, good thoughts have to be portrayed to people.
There was Sukracharya who knew “Sanjeevini” mantra which brings the dead alive. He was the guru for the Asuras (Deamons) and Brhaspathi was the guru of Devas (Good side). The disadvantage of the Devas was, Suklacharya brought all the asuras to life who were killed in the war. So Kasan (son of Brhaspathi) becomes the disciple of Suklacharya and is being the lover of Devayani who is the daughter of Suklacharya.
Knowing this, the asuras killed Kasan and Suklacharya brought him back to life. When the same happened third time, the asuras burnt kasan’s dead body and mixed it with the alchohol (soma banam) and gave it to Suklacharya. He also drank it. Now in order to bring Kasan back to life, Suklacharya had to die as Kasan was in the form of ash in his stomach. So Suklacharya ended up teaching the Sanjeevini mantra to Kasan who brought Suklacharya back to life. From that day, people are advised not to drink as you are just don’t know what you are doing.
Indian Premier League – According to me is a perfect Business model of Cricket. It is formed in the nation where the game which is no way related to the national game is the most celebrated one. People treat their favorite cricketers as equivalent to demi gods.
In a nation that treats Cricket like this, the most intelligent brains have worked together to form IPL, which is a typical Business model of Cricket. Wow! This is interesting. How can sports just transform? These are the days when the IPL fever is at peak during the summer. Its like a Rajni film released for the new year. There are another group of people who have began to state that, this IPL is all about Match fixing and making more and more money out of the game. I don’t believe in prophecies but still I have brains to understand things around me. The blend of entertainment + cricket is a perfect equation that strikes the bulls eye.
Whatever be the case, this is the only form of cricket that unites players across various nations and develops a bonding which is very healthy for international cricket. Yes, Kudos to Lalit Modi for the same. I am sure, this didn’t come to reality over night and this is indeed a very good achievement.
A lot of our friends would be interested in exploring good editors on Linux. Eclipse is a very good editor that speeds up your development process with the IDE. However, the Windows user do not have much a problem as the the archive can be unwrapped and used.
For the Linux users, there are small glitches as Eclipse doesn’t understand where Java is installed by itself. I thought of sharing the solutions that I adopted:
1. Simplest Solution: Use the apt-install in your terminal/Konsole.
sudo apt-get install eclipse
2. If you have downloaded and installed Eclipse on your Linux box, then you have to set the environment variables on your OS for Java so that Eclipse recognizes it. For this purpose,
Open the terminal
Take a backup of the file containing the environment variables.
Use this: sudo cp -p /etc/profile /etc/profile_backup
This has been there in my mind for the past one week. Why is Google giving me more than a million results for a Search Query?
Is this what I really wanted? Well, to be frank, I had to take some pains to understand how Google works and to my surprise, I came to know something known as Surface level search. Google uses Bots or web crawlers to get to know information about Web pages.
Hey, Do I really want so many search results when I am intending to get a solution. When Google is thinking about GOOG-411 and other services that yeilds exact instant results, they should not set the web in loose. Yes, it is an era of mobile communication but still internet is a part of our life.
I am not a great programmer to comment on the algorithms used by Google. But to the best of my knowledge, Google should also incorporate deep dive algorithms that also fetches post results in the search query. This will be more intrusive than a surface level search.
