Interest, Money, available education.. and the requirement of society..

The education, Disciplines .. reminds me one thing.
When my Bro was doing his Engineering Dad suggested him to do Mechanical Engineering. Bro was also interested in that.. he did best there. But during his final year (1997) everyone thought IT is the best thing. Even though he was very good at computers did not join Infy or Wipro.. or did not go to US to fix Y2K bug..

There were 20+ Steel plants for which MoU was signed between My State govt+Govt of India and foreign investors.. He was expecting to be placed in one of those..

But sad ... those did not start in right time.. and after almost 15 years when they have again re-planned to .. the situation is changed..
There are many IT engineers.. even engineers from core streams (mechanical electrical and all that) score good marks in C++ but get OK like marks in the core subjects because they know they are going to work in software or will do their MBA.. they are now not interested in working in dusty environment near the blast furnace ..
Today companies are recruiting core engineers from other states.. Maoist and other groups who are against progress say you are not recruiting our local graduates.. provocating every one to carry out strike..

We need to understand and create balance between different type of education and discipline...
We need to think about it..

Best Home UPS / Inverter guide

Hello All,
This is one of the best Home UPS/ Inverter guide I found in internet.

Sapna book store of Bangalore is one of my favorite book store. Starting from my student days i keep visiting this store. From last 3 years they have started a branch near my home. So often i visit there and get some good books ..

But today i came across this web site. I have received some good review about this web site and looks like the store gives some good discount and free shipping through out India..

Thats not bad for the known books i want to purchase..

Closing Orkut

Answer to Sonal's blog post....

I dont know why I cannot forget anything.. and miss everything when those are not there..

Remember once when I was in Bangladesh, in front of the Parliament a small street girl of 7 - 8 years old presented me a beautiful rose. She was selling roses .. ten roses only 10 Taka. (Indian Rs. 8 equivalant on those days)

She came asked me "dada tumi ki hindustani?" (brother are you Indian?)

I said yes. Then she was so happy that she presented me a rose. I said I dont want to take.. she explained me that she always dreams of going to Kolkata. In her mind India is the most beautiful place to live. Said now as I called you my dada(brother), I want to give you this. Dont say No.

I had kept that rose along with my all other mementos received from different Bangladeshi dignitaries.

Last time when I had visited home found mom had cleaned the cupboard. and the dried rose was missing. Felt very sad...

Few days back ( i think 4-5 days from now) when I searched you in my friend's list did not find you. Understood that you have deactivated your account.

It is upto you. But some times those small scraps in orkut reminds me some stories related to me and many other people. Many times I have tried to close those accounts.. but could not..

Where The Mind is Without Fear

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow

domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the

dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought

and action--

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

-- Rabindranath Tagore

Ghunghroo Toot Gaye by Pankaj Udhas

Just surfing in Youtube found this song.
What a beautiful song. And Pankaj Udhas is in his best in this..
Really loved this song so much that I tried to look for the Pankaj Udhas's version in you tube and I could listen to more than 30 versions of this song and many instrumentals
Though I did not find the version I was looking for, but please view this instrumental.. it is just wow..

Mohe Aayi Na Jug Se Laaj
Main Itna Zor Se Naachi Aaj, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Mohe Aayi Na Jug Se Laaj
Main Itna Zor Se Naachi Aaj, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Kuch Mujh Pe Naya Joban Bhi Tha
Kuch Pyaar Ka Paagalpan Bhi Tha
Ek Palak Meri Teer Bani
Ek Zulf Meri Zanzeer Bani
Liya Dil Saajan Ka Jeet
Liya Dil Saajan Ka Jeet
Vo Chede Payaliya Ne Geet
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye,
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Main Basi Thi Jiske Sapnon Mein
Vo Ginega Aub Mujhe Apnon Mein
Kehti Hai Meri Har Ungdayi
Main Piya Ki Need Chura Layi
Main Ban Ke Gayi Thi Chor
Main Ban Ke Gayi Thi Chor
Ki Meri Paayal Thi Kamzor
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye,
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Dharti Pe Na Mere Pair Lage
Bin Piya Mujhe Sub Gair Lage
Mujhe Ang Mile Armanon Ke
Mujhe Pankh Mile Parvanon Ke
Jub Mila Piya Ka Gaon
Jub Mila Piya Ka Gaon
To Aisa Latchka Mera Paon
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye,
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Mohe Aayi Na Jug Se Laaj
Main Itna Zor Se Naachi Aaj, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye,
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye

A song for my marriage video :D

This was one of my favorite songs during my college days and it is today too...
What is so special about this song?
It was i think 1994 i had been to a music store to select few songs to give for recording in to a cassette.
There I found one other fellow browsing through all the list of romantic songs to put in his marriage video. His marriage had happened on a full moon day and wanted to select some special song which has moon a and all that. But was not finding one ..

Some how I suggested this song and he really liked this song.

That inspired me so much that I also decided in my marriage video I will also put this song.. hahaha..

I am not sure if this movie was ever relesed.. :( but a really nice song.

Luck

He worked by day
And toiled by night.

He gave up play
And some delight.

Dry books he read,
New things to learn.

And forged ahead,
Success to earn.

He plodded on with
Faith and pluck;

And when he won,
Men called it luck

I wish

I know what i wish today is very difficult achieve. But yes I wish this. I know this will make me very happy than any other thing.

I wish..
1. To be very busy that i dont have time for any one else. Just me , me and me..
2. I wish to spend all my free just in studying micro controllers, Operating System, Algebra which I have forgotten, algorithms, experimenting on many new things, related to sensors and Aircraft.
3. The other thing I want to do is shooting. shoot shoot and shoot.
4. While doing other things I want to listen to some instrumentals.
5. Weekly once / twice I want to prepare some good food for myself.
6. I want to go for a long drive once in a week for 4 hours.

I think this much should make me happy..

Did I ask some thing more?

Cornell University AVR student projects Atmega

Hi All,
Even though I keep following this page from 2000, but I always forget the url and then google it for that.
So thought let me document it some where.
http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/ee476/FinalProjects/

I think I studied the basics of Atmega ( or any Micro controller ) from going through this page and reading the codes here.

At the end of academic year ECE476 Cornell University students produced about 40 new projects mostly based on Atmega32. As every year students have their responsibility to choose their own final project. So there you can find various interesting ideas and designs including video games, robots, MIDI synthesizers, clocks, speech recognitions and so on.
The best I liked is the prototype board for Atmega32 ( 40 Pin megas)


I have often surfed inside this pretty big knowledge base and found ideas, solutions and inspiration for my own designs.

The World's Fastest Indian

It so happened that I had been to a DVD store. Two young guys were talking among other about a movie.. named The World's Fastest Indian They first decided to take that DVD and there were no 2nd copy of that. So I asked them if I could see that DVD. I saw that and found interesting. Quickly checked its review in my mob and found that it is based on a true story.

By that time those guys found Forest Gumps and did not take this one..

Lucky me .. I got it and it is really very very heart touching and inspiring.

It is about a man who at his old age, kept his dreams alive and made the it not just true .. but broke all the existing records.

I love this song

aankhon mein sapne liye
ghar se hum chal toh diye
jaane yeh raahe abb le jaayengi kahaan
mitti ki khushbu aaye
palkon pe aansu laaye
palkon pe reh jaayega yaadon ka jahaan
manjil nayi hain
anjaana hai kaarava
chalna akele hai yahaan
(tanha dil, tanha safar
dhunde tujhe phir kyun nazar) - 2
tanha dil....

I know rose is not in my luck

I dont know why I always land up in trouble.
But its fine. It that way i try to do some work. Else sitting in front of computer I believe I would have made my self a living stone.

I know how big is my dream. To achieve is not at all easy. As you all know the uparwala and me has some panga. What ever I try to do he will definitely show his leg. N e way who cares.
30 years have passed fighting with him .. lets fight some more years.. I know i am not going to loose.

If I understand correctly for shooting you really require a good healthy life. Supporting family members and loving friends.. You require Shanti.. forget about Shanti......

Just read the following..


Where they all gone for me.. or Am I blind? I thought someone will definitely help me out in this. but looks like that person has some thing own in mind which does not match my requirements.

Any way. Its life. Up and down are always there. Though I know my downs are bit more down, but can not help.

I speak to myself. I talk about sports. And I know I have to win. And people those people will know that day. About what I have in my mind.

Today I am not able to write what I am interested to write. But that day I will speak and they will have to listen.
But I wish things to change and hope I will praise them for doing good to me.

God I want that person to be a good person. Tell them to be just 1%good. I know that will boost me so much that I will return them rest 99%.
I am trying my level best. Nothing seams to be working.
But

Raat hai to savera bhi hoga
Hai Safar to basera bhi hoga
Gum ke aage muskurake
Gaye hummm

Cheers

Give, Give and Forgive.......

Ho agar kabhi koi gum

Ho agar kabhi koi gum

Bas rehe yakin yeh tumko
Kushiyon ko to hai aana
Ta ra ra ra rum tararumpum 2

Raat hai to savera bhi hoga
Hai Safar to basera bhi hoga
Gum ke aage muskurake

Ta ra ra ra rum tararumpum 2

really a nice song.. I think the lines I like in this is "Raat hai to savera bhi hoga
Hai Safar to basera bhi hoga " . Thanks for this +ve hope..

Must Do & Nice To Do

Yes.. many times I promise to do some thing and as usual I forget..
But this time I am not going to forget.. After all Nokia has taught me Agile process you know..

The best thing which happened to me being in this software profession is i can learn many things And.. And.. yes And..
I can use that for myself..

I think I should spend min 5 days in a month to do some thing other than my day today work.

So here comes my list of pending tasks.. which uses agile process and technology..

1. A simple Home automation system to help me save some electricity ( and its different)
2. Renovate my lab and setup a fully FOSS based AVR lab
3. Complete the half done digital power supply
4. Trouble shoot the software Oscilloscope
5. Purchase a Acer Laptop and give that to mom. Will try to give her a feel of Linux this time. Hope that works else same old Windows..
6. Purchase some new plants for my indoor garden.
7. I think I should spend some time to sort out my old employment documents and other important documents and other documents

So first sprint (month of July, duty days 5)
I am going to pick
Must do
3. Complete the half done digital power supply (1 day)
2. Renovate my lab and setup a fully FOSS based AVR lab (2 days)
6. Purchase some new plants for my indoor garden. (half a day)
Nice to Do
7. I think I should spend some time to sort out my old employment documents and other important documents and other documents (half a day)

BUT BUT .. SHOOTING is the priority 1. Nothing can change its priority

Tum chale jaaoge to sochenge... Gazals

Thank you Amit..
for telling about Gazals in in.com

The first gazal was Jagjit Singh's Tumko Dekha To

in that the stanza which I like the most is

tum chale jaaoge to sochenge - (2)
hamane kyaa khoyaa- hamane kyaa paayaa
zindagii dhuup tum ghanaa saayaa...

Wah wah.. I think it is quite true..

I miss you much

I can't lie, [ I miss you much ]
watching everyday that goes by, [ I miss you much ]
til I get you back I'm gon' try, [ I miss you much ]
you are the apple of my eye, [ girl I miss you much ]

Thought to sing a song..

I thought to sing a song..
tries to sing 2- 3.. but what is this..
I dont think any of the songs i am trying to sing, is my mood.
dont know how is my mood and what it wants.. :(

Just thinking about freedom

Many times I have thought..
To delete the Orkut account.. not sure why could not delete..

may be some old memories.. some old true / false scraps..
.000001 % of my past..
some how some thing is there..
If it is possible to back up orkut.. then sure.. I will just back up and delete.. and will never return..

some times.. or you can say most of the time I think I am really a very free man..
No worries, no bindings
free to do any thing and every thing I want, all possibles and impossibles..

Actually I am afraid of loosing my freedom... can not justify why, but some where i am afraid.

Yes some times I do feel that some one should be there to appreciate my shooting scores, my electronics experiments, discus about my ideas, my thinking
But yes.. this confusion has no end
I have to live like this.. whether I am free or not.. but this is worst, bad, OK, good, better and best for me because I have no other option :(

Mallya' gandhi giri

Gujarat is a dry state.. here a liquor manufacturer purchases Gandhian stuffs..

Dont be surprised by his act.. he has made history before.. He made a hospital out of the money earned from liquor business..

If you go to Sabarmati you will hardly find any there..
Gandhi had taught us how to do our work ourselves.. Money was not a big thing for him.

But Again in front of entire world we proved that money is every thing.. He does not live in our heart but in those junk stuffs which we will never see..
Its very sad.. If he would have spent that much money in some good work.. Not for free.. but in return of labor.. I would have appreciated him.

But thank to Indian Govt, who did not spend our money in all those things..
Who cares where Mallya spend's his money.. We got some stuffs fine.. good..

Best option is to blog it. That is the best way to express what I want to tell. And I know hardly any one reads my blog. so no issues.

But you people must be thinking what I am going to write. If i can not tell that then how can I write that?

To make it simple let me ask myself a question. Should I believe myself? Sounds very odd know?
Yes that is what my question for today whose answer I am searching but not getting at all.
Now dont tell me I have a junk question. It is a valid question.

You know when you are kid, you grow up with your family, your parents. They are your every thing. Starting from taking care of you, thinking about you, to every thing they do for you.

Then when you grow up little, you realize that you have brother and sisters. You care for them. You love them the most. They are your best friends. You share every thing with them.

Then you go to school. There also you make friends. During school hours, you forget every one but your friends. You play with them, you share your tiffin / lunch with them.

You join college. You again make friends there. In front of them you keep your heart open. you fight for them. They help you in every need.

Today is my birth day. How many people wished me?

Now answer me.

Where are my parents?
Where are my brothers/ sisters?
Where are my school friends?
Where are my college friends whom I loved so much?
Where are my other friends?

If I remember, I always loved them cared for them the most why they are not there with me today?

So if they are not there with me then how can I believe that I really loved them from my heart?

If I remember I always wanted a small family with people around me, going to park together, joining for picnic. Parents, bro, sis, friends

I remember, I call up whom I love, I wish them.... May be that is just one line. But I think about them not just for mins but for hours. I go back to those old memories. Every single incident with them comes live.

No one wished me today.

Then How can I believe myself that I really love them, cared for them

You know God.. you dont have a phone no. I really feel like I should call you up and ask you, where I was wrong?

God you know what I am talking about. We both know I am not wrong. But if every thing is programmed by you then you have to tell me how correct is your program.
And remember God, I don't quit.
You do what ever you what to do. But you have to prove that you are right.
Good Luck.

You are my best friend Jiggi

Hey I just felt like writing some thing for Jiggi and in 10 mins I could think and write this following poem.. not bad.. I think I am ... no I will not tell it to her..
but you people read this poem.. hope you like it.. Its all true..

Well I hope that you're happy,
now that I wrote this dumb poem for you!
Remember that junk key chain I gave,
from years I had kept that for you too.

Though we never realized
When we became friends
I just had asked God a friend,
God gave you as my best friend..

I think of you
and my phone rings,
At the saddest moment also
my heart sings.

You comfort me when I am in tears,
Have I done the same when you are in fear?

Rail tracks are parallel,
they never meet
From source to destination
They are friends, they never quit.

Cant we do the same,
Lets play one more game..

You on one rail of the track,
me on another

Lets balance ourselves holding our hand
And walk further further and further..

This poem continues..…..
Till the last breath, you and me

We love each other more more and more
there is nothing else to see....

You are my Best friend....

What is this called?

I am really surprised, always tried to believe what is happening.. but could not believe.. but it is happening..

I think of her.. I wish to tell her some thing.. when she speaks her first lines are same as I had in my mind..

I realize that my mob is not in vib mode while driving and I miss out many calls.. I put the phone in vib mode and get a call from her..

I think of calling her. Pick up the phone.. and before I call her I get a call from her..

She wants some help from me.. I design the document for her.. and when I present her that.. she realizes that what ever she was thinking it is already documented in the doc..

Is this called telepathy? Is this called very high level understanding? what is really this is called? It has not happened once.. twice.. but every time..

Some times with family

Its long time I have spent my time with family.. I mean with any family..
Get up in the morning ... go to office.. come back.. shoot and then study or watch some program in NatGeo .. was feeling like same routine.. every thing same..

Thought to give me a break..

Remembered my young school days.. so many promises... so many friends.. today I find my self all alone in the middle of no where.. where every one is there .. but I dont find any one.. looks like every one is busy .. running after some thing .. I have no idea what is that.. but it is true they have no time for me..


Then thought of some one .. a friend .. who had promised what we will meet again.. because "Dunia Gol hai .. Jahan se nikloge ghum fir ke wahin aake pahuncoge.. " .. ya she was quite true.. out of so many friends.. I think she only continued a true friendship with me..

Last time I had visited her she was @ Vizag .. her hus was a Lt in Indian navy posted in INS Rana..
This time she is @ Bhavnagar.. Her Hus is now posted there.. a Lt Cdr . in Indian Navy .. looking after the engineering aspects of ship bulding for a new ship..

Now she has a young little 2 year old admiral .. Vikramaditya.. going to meet him for the first time.. Admiral sir's demands are .. he likes Cars.. and want one for his collection .. a Gun.. he does not have one .. so desperately wants one..

Okay done dear.. your wishes are going to be fulfilled on 30th ..

Then thought let me take some thing which he will enjoy and both learn out of it.. some rhymes CDs..and alphabet learning CDs. Lets see how much he learns..

I am waiting to meet those people and spend my Friday , Saturday, Sunday, Monday with those sweet family..

I know it is going to be a fun time for all of us..
A lot of talk and old memories.. new learning about navy and other things.. and a lot of fun with Vikram..

MOTODEV Summit @ Leela Palace

Akshay (center) with Alex Ralph and Piyush at MotoDev Tech lab.

It was my great pleasure to be a part of MotoDev Summit at Leela Palace Bangalore on 14th may 2008. After so many years of association with Motorola Inc. it was my first opportunity to be a part of such a big event..

Mobile phones are no longer used as a device for talking.. but with multiple capabilities starting from playing music, scheduling your appointments to e-commerce over mobile (m-commerce) , mobile banking to many hundreds of applications..

To provide all the application by the mobile manufacturing company is very difficult. So Motorola has always encouraged the 3rd party developers to develop software for phones..
This MOTODEV Summit was one more opportunity for the 3rd party developers to learn various aspects of software developments for Motorola Mobile phones.

The event started with grand opening and keynote by Christy Wyatt the Vice President of Software Platforms & Ecosystem.. as usual her confidence and personality always has motivated we Motorolans..

With various sessions by various experts from different group of solutions were conducted..

I was vary glad that MotoMagix and my work WebUI framework was mainly highlighted during this summit and a technology lab session was also conducted for introducing the 3rd party developers with the new tools and technology Motorola offers for them.

I was also accompanied by a friend of mine Akshay who is a gr8 fan of Motorola Phones.

Entrance Exam

Today I was talking to one of my close friend.. Her elder sister's PG in Medical entrance exams results were supposed to come.. but sad.. the governing body have changed the rules.. and so there is a stay..
They are thinking to take MBBS results in to consideration for PG seats..

I remember my student days.. Once we had a subject called "Electronic Components & devices". I had some idea over it..and being over confident I did not study that paper and got avg marks.. I was expecting very good scores out of it.. After the results came I felt bad about it.. and in the holidays I studied that paper again. And without any prep I was able to explain the subjects to my juniors..

If I was supposed to evaluate my standard.. how much I rate from 0 to 5 can I rate my self 3 based on my last exams result or I should rate 5 for my understanding on the subject?

If I feel I should rate 5 then why in the above PG entrance exam, they should consider MBBS marks even after taking the test? Are not they confident on their entrance exam questions?

Anisuthide from Mungaru male

Anisuthide

Here is Anisuthide lyrics

Anisuthide yaako indu

Olavu Yelli Kudiyoduvudo, Tiliyadagide
How love is grown..i dont know...

Mungaru Maleye..
Yenu Ninna Hanigala Leele

Bhuvi Kenne Tumba, Mugilu Surida Muttina Gurutu
There are marks of the pearl fall ..On the cheek of this earth..
Nanna Yedeya Tumba, Avalu Banda Heggeya Gurutu
My heart is full of her footsteps..
Hegge Gegge Aa Savi Saddu, Premanadavoo
Every step has that anklet sound...love tune?

Yede Mugilinalli, Rangu challi Nintalu Avalu
She poured colour all over my heart.
Baredu Hesaru Kamanabillu, Yenu Modeyoo

I'm fortunate for this, is this a new birth?

Mungaru Maleye..

I am bit concerned

I am bit concerned.. Yes I am ..
Oct 11 to 22 GVM will be there.. So I have started Practice..
My self motivation is up.. Every day trying my level best to practice.. but..
I think after a day full of hard work and more than that almost 3 hours of bike riding during the day.. at the end of the day I am becoming bit tired. So not able to concentrate more..

If I check my logs.. over SCATT.. looks like my position and my aiming is perfect.. just the last .1 secs spoils my score.. my point of aim is on the 10.9 but just in last .1 secs it moves out of 10.9..

Looks like I have to concentrate more on my breathing, Trigger operation, and right hand grip.. I think this will give me the solution which I am looking at..

Also if I manage to be at home at 19:30 Hrs and eat some thing I dont feel comfortable to shoot at 20:30 Hrs.. if I dont eat.. I feel energy less, tired and hungry..

Not sure.. what to do.. I think if there is some one to talk to me .. keep me focused on my shooting it will be gr8..

I think from today instead of normal water, I will keep Glucose water next to me.. hope that helps..

Kho Na Jaaye Ye......

Yup.. Kho na jaaye kahin.. Life is like this.. there are many things take birth in this world to give their valuable contribution... but some where they are lost.. this busy life, this self centered life.. forgets to think about others..
Actually the director, the story writer and screen play have played a very beautiful role in the success of this film. Most of the kids in todays world are more or less like Ishan.. I am not talking about the problem Ishan had.. but the other angle of the little boy.. why just a little boy.. but I must say it is with every human being.. we need love, care, affection... in a different different way.
And no one has time to understand others.. or we dont have the time to find the right angle to look at the object..

I think the film has tried to expose a big picture of current life style.. which needs to be guided and then only this human can live in this world as the most intelligent animal.. with Pride..



There is one another aspect of "Kho Na Jaaye Ye......"

The other file of my choice also talks about that.. "Chak De India.."
It is also one of the finest movies I have ever seen..
The first film was about the discovery of talent..
But this film talks about the talent and its proper use.. with motivation..

this post will continue.. ....... ......

Ae Shareef Insano ..... (Sahir Ludhianvi)

khoon apna ho ya paraya ho,

jang mashriq mein ho ya maghrib mein,

aman-e-alam ka khoon hai aakhir.

(Nasl-e-adam : humanity, mashriq-maghrib : east-west)

jang to khud hi ek maslaa hai,

jang kyaa maslon ka hal degi;

aag aur khoon aaj bakhshegi,

bhookh aur ehtiyaaj kal degi.

(masla : problem, ehtiyaaj : needs)

bartaree ke saboot ki khatir,

khoon bahana hi kya zaroori hai?

ghar ki tareeqiyan mitane ko,

ghar jalana hi kya zaroori hai?

(bartaree : greatness)

Bomb gharon par giren ke sarhad par,

Rooh-e-taameer zakhm khati hai;

Khet apne jalein ke auron ke,

Zeest faaqon mein tilmilati hai.

(Rooh-e-taameer : spirit of construction, Zeest : Life,Faaqon mein tilmilati hai : wrecked by starvation)

Tank aage badhe ke peeche hate,

Kokh dharti ki baanjh hoti hai;

Fateh ka jashn ho ke haar ka soug,

Zindagi maiyaton pe roti hai.

(Kokh : womb, baanj : barren, Fateh : victory, Jashn : celebration,Soug : lament, Maiyaton : corpses)

Isliye ae shareef insaano,

jang taltee rahe to behtar hai;

aap aur ham sabhi ke aangan mein,

shama jalti rahe to behtar hai.

Again one more Flop reality show

Trying to digest the MTV Roadies 5.0..
If you look at all the TV channels in India.. all are flooded with different different reality show.
MTV Roadies is one among them..

Just trying to see if that show has any thing other than people scolding each other with F*** words or similar to that..

So called heros of the show Raghu and his team could not select people who could complete a task assigned to them.. Roadies always have failed in all the immunity tasks.. there is no strategy .. I think people who apply for SSB in India could have done much more better than these junks..

N e way I dont blame the roadies .. because they are not the same at their normal life. It is the Roadies environment/ tradition which forces them to speak F words .. fight among each other.. But there could have been a better environment which gives the producer the MASALA they want to catch viewer.. and would have raised the height of the reality shows..

I am just thinking about those kids.. ya they are..
They have their entire life to do what ever they wanna do .. why they go there and spoil their career? On the audition day .. the audition is too shit.. if you by luck got selected.. ..more shit..

You should have a GF /FB .. that is the main topic in audition.. (man as if without a GF / BF human does not called human) hahaha..

Game means take people who are good.. and let them play and find a way to win.. but here.. at the age of 18 - 21.. they are broke off with 3- 4 people.. says that they are really kids..

I think those producers and all those people of MTV Roadies should go and see one SSB interview.. and then prepare for Roadies 6.0..

I dont know why many people are just mad behind this show..

I just see this as a critic.. just to see up to what extent our TV program can go down..

Conclusion.. F*** words rules (in that program..)
( sorry I did not find any other conclusion)

Fauji .. I can see it again

Hi Friends ..

I am very very happy today..
after a lot of Google.. I found a site Rajshri.com

In my entire childhood, I had played Fauji game with my friends.. in the streets of my neighborhood.. always used to take Lt. Roy 's role..

I had a wish to see this serial again. Never managed to get the CD/ VHS or any thing..
Today found that it's media stream is free at Rajshri.com. If you wanna download .. you can do that by paying $1.99 / episode.

I am happy I can see that serial again..

"Jang to khud ek maslaa hai,
jang kya maslon ko hal degi...

Jang talti rahe to behtar hai,
Aap ke our hamaare gharonme shama jalti rahe to behtar hai...."

----*----
Its been 20 years.. But I have not forgotten the above words which was said in that TV serial..

Planning Vs Quick Fix

My friend, a very good rifle shooter, who is studding in US, his old Air rifle was not performing good. Asked my suggestion on which rifle to purchase.. I suggested him to Purchase FWB 700..

I was expecting he will purchase in next 2 - 3 days..

But..

He raised fund to purchase the rifle.. by working @ library for 2 hours every day, and 1 hour in the hostel for 6 month. saved 50 % of the amount . 25 % collect from his father and rest 25% on loan from the rifle company to return with interest in 1 year. In the following year, he participated in 3 matches and from prize money he paid back the loan.

Wow.. what a gr8 plan..

Think about India.. Indian govt.. (I dont know how much ) exempted the loan of poor farmers..

Mr Kapil Sibbal said in one TV interview " It is not required to have provision to get the money back in this budget. We will be returning the money back to the Banks in next 3 years.. so in the following budgets we will try to manage the money.. "

Wow .. what a gr8 idea sir ji..

Who knows you will be again be in power or not.. if the next govt. imposes some tax to get this money back .. then blame game will start..

Now you will give loan exemption. But the fact is

My dad was telling at Orissa currently Tomato is just Rs1.00/Kg, ( I pay avg. Rs.15 ) at Bangalore.

Cabbage is Rs 2.00 @ orissa, Bangalore it is Rs.10.00..

Can not govt regulate this and bring some balance.. every where.. farmers are just crying because no one is there to purchase their stuffs.. and you give them loan exemption.

Is that going to solve the problem for coming year?

Where is planning.. we are just trying to fix todays problem by just doing some thing which does not help in balancing the situation.

There must be at list 1 person who was capable to return the money.. but he also became a cheat.. did not return the money to bank..

What are we trying to do ?

God help India..

No one knows why farmers are not getting return from farming.. govt has no plans to deeply think about this issue and fix this.. If this issue is not resolved, from where we will get food to eat?

Blogging

Blog.. a friend asked me whether I have a blog or not.. yup I have.. this is the first time I told about my blog to some one ..

When I was new to Blog.. I visited many blogs to understand it.. and tried to find out what most people blog..

Most of the blogs explain views which author has not expressed to others and blogged it or found that this is a good way to let people know about what they think..

correct .. but if I directly want to say what I fear the most, is .. do we have enough people around us to listen to.. are they sensitive enough to understand our feelings.. are we so lonely that we have to talk to these web pages.. ?

I think as the progress is very slow, we are not realizing that we are becoming more and more lonely.. New year wishes.. we send e-cards.. Rakhi e-cards, letters.. emails.. Just tell me.. can you hug that e-card when you miss your bro/sis/friend/relative?

Just imagine.. we are back in 60s 70s 80s .. Father comes from office.. we sit together with some snacks and chatting with our family.. its raining we have some pakoda in our hand and enjoying the rain...

Is the above way of sharing of view was good or blogs is best?

Progress is must .. but .... it is up to you to choose where and how much you need progress..

What should I tell them?

"When I took over 11 months ago, I had said I would resign if I cannot deliver results," Carvalho told Indian media in Santiago. "So now I am keeping my word. I am as disappointed and hurt as any other Indian hockey fan."

Why we took such one -ve minded person as coach, the person who knew what to do if he fails, even before taking up the task? How does his resignation help Indian hockey players to join other India athletes at Beijing?

"We do not have an instant coffee machine to get results instantly," Gill told the Press Trust of India. "It takes time to regain your position. We have put the process in place and the results will take some time."

Till that time .. Thanks to Mr. Gill.. our Hockey player will get chance to see the Olympic games.. over a Ultra Wide screen HDTV.. other years they used to play only.. wait a sec.. do they have money to purchase a TV?

A Very sad day today...

A very sad and shameful day today for the sports lovers and followers of India.. I remember a dialog in Chak De India " angrejon ko angreji sikhadi " .. sorry Chak de girls .. our boys failed in front of English people..

I know how Politics is affecting the sports in India.. I can just call them bloody how can you do this.. to your country? our boys trying so hard.. but these people are not providing proper coach, facility, they have to beg for money..

If you can not help them in any other way then at list give them the minimum support to gain fame for them selves...

I saw the match .. I found that our boys were trying their best to gain control over GB.. but at the same time felt that there were no help from the bench, from the technical side to help them over come Great Britain .. they were just playing a normal game.. I don't think they ever studied the weak points of GB team, player by player.. position by position..

How can a planed strategy fail so badly.. was that ever made? God knows..

Chk out the link below..
http://www.bharatiyahockey.org/khiladi/2000/gagan.htm

Gagan Ajeet Singh a famous player playing for India from 1999 till date and you will find that Police DG is gifting him a Scooter.. Sad.. Sad.. reserve players in Cricket get 58 Lakh .. some how managing to win a game among 3 countries.. Hockey players play with so many countries.. 35 K Bajaj scooter for them?

Orissa Provides few of the best Hockey players.. we dont have facility in my state.. What the junk is this?

I think Time has come.. At list in individual sports we should start looking at excelling to the maximum.. and it comes back to me.. as a sports person myself.. I think I should spend more time in shooting than writing blog..

God help India.. Jai Hind..

Microsoft OneNote for linux

Hi I found a very good package called Basket (http://basket.kde.org/index.php) it is a KDE project.
I use Microsoft One note and really love it. But as most of the time I am under linux .. using this is a difficult task. So thought let me search some thing like that under linux.

Hope this is going to help me a lot.

Fedora 7: "Add/Remove Software" from DVD

Hi,
This is my method of solving the add remove program problem in Fedora Core and Fedora 7.

After first installation

1. create a softlink to the Fedora cdrom 's root directory inside /media directory so that /media/fedora should show the content of /media/Fedora 7 DVD drive .
2. Now insert the DVD and mount that ( by default it will be mounted)
3. Edit /etc/yum.conf and put the following line there



reposdir=/dev/null[MyLocalRepo]
name=local
baseurl=file:///media/fedora
gpgkey=file:///media/fedora/RPM-PGP-KEY-fedora ( and may include other files too)


--------------
4. There is a bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzill...g.cgi?id=241604 So need some modification in a .py file. So add the following two lines in to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/packages.py at line 485


so the section becomes


   def getDiscNum(self):
       if self.basepath is None:
           return None
       (scheme, netloc, path, query, fragid) = urlparse.urlsplit(self.basepath)
       if scheme == "media":
           if len(fragid) == 0:
              return None
           return int(fragid)
       return None
--------------------------------
Remember not to change any indentation of the .py file. Python uses indentation for the loops

5. Now when you restart the Add Remove program it will ask to import the PGP keys.
   

Thats it.. It is done. Now any time it is required to install some software from the DVD .. just put the DVD and start Add Remove Program.

(Note you must run the first yum command as root even if it is just 'yum list available', since yum needs to create a directory in /var/cach/yum for the local repo)
