October rambling

Straight enough*
Hockey

It is true that Hockey was never India's national sport, or that India never had a national sport. But to abandon a sport which brought such glory to us in past is but a sin. I don't remember last time I saw any NEWS media, print or digital airing the success story of India in Newzealand as much as random guy with mic yelling at MS Dhoni! Do you realize the amount of negativity the media is dumping on us these days, wish I can go back to DD era.


If not cricket the Bollywood and money plays us around ISL! Goddamn! one guy wanted to know who plays quarter-back for Chennai !meh! Yes Google results are polarized, you should probably search for soccer and learn the position :@ Why would you even want to? you are fat and fag get back to photo-editor and update it in all networks


Sleepless Nights


Yes I know Dr. Kamala Hasan is making a Tamil movie based on the Sleepless Nights of Hollywood, but no I was not talking about it. Its our lovely prince, I know that feeling of being bulled by over-expression of the affection in social networking sites by almost every parent who showers love on their child(at least before camera). Lets get it straight IT IS NOT PRINCE, ITS IS SON. So this adamant guy who sprung in my bedroom, won't let me sleep!


For all the wet cloth and stinking diaper and for the goodness of giggles and charm 'Give him some sleeping dose!'. Intrusion has gone to such a level that I'm not allowed to watch movies anymore as he clings onto his rhymes. Laptop? huh... I don't understand how but these newborns are so hooked up to Smart phone and Laptop at least we were not so till 15 years old or so. My niece loves to see breaking phone, dopamine or something... she tap on phone, picks and smacks till the back cover, battery and phone are visibily apart.


Holiday


Holiday is suppose to give you relaxation, I just gave up by content by using the word suppose. Surprisingly I'm not using "any adjective" that which is considered as a common problem with bloggers, yeah I know you don't even consider me a blogger. My holidays are spent on cleaning home, AC, bike, garden and occasionally toilet. This holiday was bit different that we actually went out on a trip, no price for guessing the type of trip of course pilgrimage with my mom in tow even if I take her to Andaman she first locate the temple and then food. Surprise surprise we paddled to hospital since our return, Dad fell off and broke his spine, bills came tumbling after.


Rambling


How do you ramble about a ramble on a ramble? The first ramble is the rambling that I took with my colleagues to Nagalapuram, it was exciting awesomatic wondrous trip were you get to see people enjoy themselves in fresh water and you get to sit in 2 ft depth as you won't survive the depth without the knowledge of swimming. The second ramble is what you just read and third is the collective of all the above and below that follows.


Cooking


It is that thing done by mom everyday in the morning so we can live another day. I realized it is not as I did some dishes myself! You probably know my culinary skills on Maggi, Dosa, Milk and Fruit Salad. I have added a few more like salad, bread toast, coconut chutney, nachos! Yes nachos, I'm still far from making a perfect dip or a sauce but trust me it is OK to buy them directly from supermarket and arrange them in plate you can still say you made it (maybe not cook). Thing with me is that I always get the ingredients right but tastes weird.


Being Developer


I yearned to be a developer and now I earn by being developer. It is not easy I tell and you should believe! if you are still watching you neighbour son going to USA or Australia or even Uruguay and not coming back for extended period of time, most probably he works in a service industry dusting rusty old code that was wrote a decade back. I broke out of that limbo to learn something exicting and here I am not sure if the decision was right, as every other guy I know has took off to some nation :-/ but here I am consoling myself by saying "its not about international activity its about github activity", actually that hurts me even bad as I succumb again to my own consolation as I'm not active in both havens of developers as the outside world measures you.



Piracy


For the first time since I was introduced to windows in school with background image reading "This copy of windows is not authorized" then to my everyown PC where I proudly use some key or other that I get in internet of some freak tool. But it all changed when I bought a laptop with pre-installed windows my first piracy-free OS (apart from various linux distro that I have tried). Lately I upgrade the laptop to all new Win 10 and what a misery it need microsoft account login to even sneeze... feel like faggot. * Image used is from simplycharlottemason.com. I don't know if putting this out saves me from law suits, as if I'm bother about it. 


Recognition

It is not the party hosted in the office where non-promoted people are begged to stay by giving some flipkart vouchers and sheilds made of brass or glass. Recognition got a new dimension when Nestle decided that their charm brand Maggi has pulled everything when it drowned. So they have compiled a video showing different era in India and Nestle's association, it looks pathetic when a conglomerate begs on knees with sad music playing in background. I think it is kind of cute, well played India! you have tuned you negative to positive - popullation.

Puththu kovilum Putho tilesum, as they are built

Its the grand Aadi season here in Tamil Nadu wherever you go you'd be followed by awful noise from no mercy speakers masqueraded as a devotional song. Yes, this is the first post dedicated to it. Hindu is not a religion but it's idealism, a way to unite people, that's perfectly constructed by assuming separate task to every God, no single God worship. Hindus moved from nature worship to idol worship, but that doesn't mean that we don't have nature worship we have created an idol for them and continued to worship them in a different form. Snake is a beautiful reptile, I have made friend with few too... Our ancestor found the natural law, 'every living creature on earth is important for the ecosystem to be balanced'. Maybe to make sure snakes are not killed fearing their venom they made them as God too! Not just idol snakes, they are worshipped as they are at their  conquered (from rats and termite)   nest or  puthu . Puthu...

When would the thriller end in Group B?

Chennai, 18/01/2011 World Cup 2011, the final four from Group B is to be decided in the last league match of the tournament. If the last played match in Group B between England and West Indies on 17/03 was won by West Indies there would not be any problem. Now I'll discuss the possibilities! If Bangladesh is to Exit This is the simplest of all, if BAN is going to lose against South Africa they'll make their way out from World Cup. If West Indies is to Exit This is next possible if BAN wins SA, and India wins West Indies they are out with 6pts while team ahead of them will have 7pts and 8pts. If England to Exit This is next in list, If BAN wins over SA. If Ind Vs WI match ends with WI winning by small or moderate margin. If India to Exit The most impossible to happen thats why I say India is already qualified! After BAN wins SA, WI must achieve a target over 250runs in 25 overs or target over 300runs in 30 overs. If India is going to chase West Ind...

A trip to Meluha alongside Shiva

I never comment about his attitude or his grin face very ill tempered guy… no one wants to mess with him. He was breathing heavy probably he just battled out someone near our lake’s bank or was he resting after his regular practice. Why does the blood stains are still there in his sword probably he just put few life to end, just before I could ask him to wash them we heard some announcement deep from Manasarowar. Couple of strangers were using some bizarre tools to shout, actually they are inviting us to their town. I wanted to warn of letting strangers inside village but Shiva had other ideas, he was sure they are not part of local barbaric tribes. May be our ancestors mustn’t have allowed other tribes to fetch water from the holy lake, their thirst was for blood not water. I thought he can discuss about foreigners to him but he was so depressed about next barbaric attack from local tribes. Before dusk another attack we were not able to prevent the murder of kids and women. Ruthl...

How to make Recycle bin understand your mood? Delete operations made easier

I know the title is bit void ;) but i can't come up with better. With the internet age on high we are finding it difficult to actually delete outdated items. So here is way to make your Recycle bin to understand you. How? Properties dialog box of it :) Recycle bin Properties dialog box Right click Recycle-bin icon to access Properties , at the bottom of dialog box you'd find a check box (Red box in image) whether to ask for conformation un-check it when you are on week-end PC clean work. Delete operations are now just a button away ;) cool isn't it, but beware of consequences. {Sorry for the old-look image I use windows classic theme, as I heard it will use only minimum processor so speed will increase you can try this too } Still not enough you want the file to go away... just go away instead of sitting in recycle bin watch the pink box. Click configure for independent drives, every drive tab will have options similar to as Global settings except for '...

The MFRP @ Best

The training that I experience here in Cognizant is good, after clearing all those modules I was waiting for the MFRP final review. At the first review our team was not able to perform well because we were not working as a team. It was more a single handed project, it was regarded as structured but not Object oriented programming by our Mentor these comments made us realize that we are struck deep and in dark. In the extension or the final phase of project we followed agile methodology in which I played as Business Analyst / Tester. Predominantly I was to be involved in resolving bug, code analysis and design, but nothing stopped me from helping in coding. I worked on bringing a program with BLOB data type that could handle all binary formats and a new theme/look for our project to make the interface look cool. I accomplished both the task on time with sincere guidance from Yusuf and Viswa (the two M.Tech grads in my batch with extensive practi...
