me with new bike :-) 

site on bikes

This one is interesting

bike

Today i bought a bike. its a bajaj CT 100. and black one. i will be getting the vehicle this evening or tomorrow. i went for bajaj CT 100 because it suited for me, i wanted a bike, just a bike. I am not going for any fashion show or have to impress any females with a stylish bike. Hope once i get comfortable in driving the vehicle, it should not eat my freedom on roads. I always liked walking on the roads.

Useful Virus Alert

Hi everyone Sometime back I had mentioned that all of us need to double checko on all mails that come to us. These are normally such type of Warning mails which people react to like Srinivas has done here and it generates some of the biggest spam connections. what u shd normally do when it get these sort of mails: 1. Go to the Symantec/Norton or other tech sites and figure out if they have placed any information on this. 2. Go to any of the HOAX buster or Urban Legend sites and figure out whether such a thing is true. For example, one such site that I go to is: HBHoax Categories 3. In case you figure out that this is a false thing/hoax, just delete the mail and maybe go and tell other people abt it - verbally!!! This is how Spammers work and they enjoy life like this. The same applies to many of those mails like MARS, Mobile phones, Buddhist and Ganesha mails etc. For example, if you look at the Symantec site for the above, u will find this: life is beautiful virus and Symantec

Virudh - A love story

Last night i have seen "virudh" at forum from the first row at PVR. Thanks to suresh gade, because of him i do see movies on regular basis now a days. It was a love story i liked much but ofcourse no spicy stuff or lust. just love of a family. story of a old couple through the words of their lost son. An excellent depiction by Mahesh Manjrekar. the portrayal of love of a mother,a father and most importantly how an accident could take away all the happiness of a blessed family. It was touching movie. Sanjay dutt role was upto the character it required. sharmila tagore and amitab have done well in their role of old couple. Thing that is fascinating in this movie is that how parents could dare to fight with society against all the odds just to prove that their son was innocent. The love of parents for their beloved son who was killed by son of a home minister. Nothing much about lust, though there was some pub scene,which got john abraham his gal. I dont understand why people go

back from hibernation

I was almost in hibernation this weekend, other than an hour stay at office, and couple of phone calls. i was sleeping most of the time. wish there is some requirement in office to sleep :-)

Listen, see and understand

Today we had a conf call with US office big guys about the component i have been working on. it was funny to see their comments. 2 guys from the senior management worrying much about a simple thing, why that particular one is there!. they were not happy with the reason behind it. I was expecting them to be more matured, if they do not like particular part it, they can see other parts isnt it? just blabbering around the same thing for the full session making same point again and again. its like this. 1)why this is there? 2)why this is there? 3)why this is there? and so on.... and irony is that out of those 2 one wanted to have that particular part(Here it is a tree strcture). and he too joined the other guy to blame us, saying that things are not fine. How opportunist that person is?. after all my lead Nanda kishore was saying "Boss is always right". its we the poor developers have to suffer.

Do we need one more god?

share international is a website proclaming that jesus is back. do we really need one more jesus?

Friends Forever

Forever Friends You Promised "Friends Forever" you promised. "together till the end" We did everything with each other. you were my best friend. When i was sad, you were by my side. when i was scared, you felt my fear. You were my best support- If i needed you, you were there. You were the greatest friend, You always knew what to say: You made everything seem better. As long as we had each other, Everything would be okay. But somewhere along tha line, We slowly came apart. I was here, you were there, It tore a hole in my heart. Things were changing, Our cheerful music reversed its tune. It was like having salt without pepper, A sun without its moon. Suddenly we were miles apart, Two different people, with nothing the same. Although we knew deep in our hearts Neither of us was to blame. You had made many knew friends And luckily, so had i But that didn't change the hurt- The loss of our friendship made me cry As we grow older, things must change But they don

no drinks..

I am supposed to be in an alcoholic party now. there is a friend(ramakanth) birthday. though he knows that i do not enjoy alcoholic treat especially. i told sorry for my absence. yes i tried drinking alcohols few times in life. i guess it should be single digit times,even i kept some snaps with bottles in my blogger. But i was not able to enjoy it. i didnt feel much about drinking or not drinking but the ambience of alcohol is making me sick. might be some problem with me, but life got to go with our own comfort.

Big people simple mistakes big problems

Today when i got a mail from my boss asking me to work on something already fixed, because senior mgmt person at VA Office was not able to work with the component. The problem was a simple mistake on his part, he forgot to keep the supporting libraries in the libraries of the product. which has thrown some expected error. It was very simple mistake, but causing distrubance for the full day, but i was confident that there should not be any problem with the work we have been doing. The small lesson in hard way, when we grow big, we should be careful about the small things. Even elephant can be killed by small ants.

Book Tag Bug

I was infected by this particular bug by kiran And the bug prevails.. The books i finished recently are the " Davinci code " and the The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. A fable about following your dream.. :-) Nice book. I have 2 other books pending, one is "neuromancer" and other title i dont remember, I have been struggling to finish the "neuromancer", got to get some time. The one i refer much on regular basis or atleast wanted are. eenadu Hindu Google News Vipula Eenadu sahithyam

Aparichithudu

This week movie is Aparichithudu(And yes not Anniyan but aparichithudu). This particular movie is really good one. Vikram has done it one more time again. I liked the movie. There was great fun, excellent stunts, songs were good and according to the context, there was love, romance and yes the pains and the exhilaration.There was the sound of the oppressed, the inner man of everyone of us, who wanted the society to be better and void of corruption, cruelty and cheating. The Multiple personality disorder, as the doc's in the movie say, means having different personalities in same body, The "Ramu" original personality, "Aparichithudu" the revolutionary and the "Remo", lover boy. Vikram as "Ramu" payed the way for the other two. Director fine tuned the movie such a way that it turned out as a classic. The sanskrit part of the movie "Garuda Puranam" interesting one. i didnt understand when adarsh forwaded me a mail saying "Garuda

AP Govt is a joke

AP govt looks like a joke. I am feeling proud not to have casted my vote till now. I was proud of chandra babu being CM. he was doing something. But this YS Reddy govt is a waste one. The state minister Mr. Botsa was saying "latest 11 crore scam of VW cars deal" as a silly thing. And when the facts seems to be very open Mr.Reddy just transfered this particular minister from his ministry and asked for CBI enquery. This political leaders are just trying to save their face. Ofcourse i do not have any particular enthusiasm or confidence in this guys. What i just expect from our political leaders is that they not to distrub the ongoing development activities. Things will happen on their own as long as govt not involves with the good things. I do understand the govt is a bigger organization and it is simply not that easy to run the govt. But an integrated personality will never make stupid statements like Mr YSR has done. He said He will eradicate factionism and within months he ki

one more hectic week

This week,too has been bit hectic. Mostly of the trouble shooting. Though i was able to fix the issues immediately when i come across them, it was bit painful. we spent most of the time to just figure out what could have gone wrong. At times it was too much boring, i didnt know what to do. so i saw part of anniyan movie in my system and also tried to listen to songs.. My Cardless headphones are working fine. It works with fine with computer/TV/audio devices but the FM is not coming properly. upto 10-15 meters we can easily walk around while still listening to songs. Thanks to my EOM gift voucher of landmark. I was curious to have FM working. it works for few minutes and goes mum for next few minutes. YFiles support guys were of great help. they were quick to my mails in sorting out the issues. seems like the class loader of piie is having problem with relative path of the resource. One surprise was there from Brian Wilkins of VA office. today morning there was a mail from him saying

Kudos to these brave hearts

Today's news paper carried one special news item. Its was a brave act by 2 indian railway linemen. Who stopped Godavari Express(In Andhra Pradesh state, India), from being getting into danger with a destructed railway track because of floods. They literally saved hundreds of people. They are Suryam and Chandraiah. Both are around 50. They made the train stop before the flood affected track. The train drivers backed the train. Unfortunately chandraiah didn nt identity the train coming back, and lost his life. This guys have done a great job. Proved that ordinary people can do miracles when required. Kudos brave hearts.

This week

There is some good rework in Link Analysis Tool code. Brandon's wednesday conf call gave us some new thought of how to handle the passage of mutliple object references to multiple classes. Instead of passing the object references through constructors to other classes which may need those reference while executing some other method. To make this our classes our making a local reference to the constructor parameters. Brandon was talking of having singleton pattern work here. Then we changed the source code, all the places. We created a singleton class, which could contain arraylist of all the passible objects that need to be referred in other classes. Each component now will have an ID, which will be passed to other classes. and when ever an object needs some reference to shared objects, it will look into the singleton class. ask it for the required object while giving the ID of the component. This seems to be some good suggestion. we just tried it which looked working fine. There we

Vacuum in life

I have been involving myself in work all the time, making sure that i dont have any effective free time. but seems like there is big vacuum in life, something is missing severely which i dont know. When i get time to myself, there is a big turbulance which i dont know, but getting me hurt a lot. I am bit scared of being alone. I dont want to run away from myself. But i am trying to figure out what could be missing from me. Any how the immediate run away solution is read more books, and get more tech stuff which could make me busy. Ofcourse this is just a workaround.

Oka Oorilooo....

This weekend,I have seen a telugu movie, Oka Ooriloo.., a typical love story. where director seems wanted to touch a different angle of love, by killing the hero early second half of the movie. I slept for 1 hour to get rid of the headache i bought for 30 rupees in srinivasa theatre,S.G.Palya, Bangalore. I dont know much about love(might be because no body prefered me :-) ). I feel those who have somebody to love them are really lucky. just running around trees and hills and exchanging gifts is not love. True love is one which sustains are the burns and pains. How sweet it will be if somebody pats and stands with you in all your pains, when all the society is against you, and creating hurdles to you. Give and take is not love, Its business. But unfortunately many will be wandering around give and take concept. For your birthday i will wish you and you wish me for my birthday... and if you dont, who ever wishes me is my beloved.. This is certainly not love, i am not sure whether this qu
