Change in time ..
When i was a kid, an elderly person had asked me few questions. Namely :
Q: If a japanese guy opens a school in maharashtram what wuld he name it ?
A : Ya shikha
(For those not understanding marathi,it means "come and learn" ).
Q: If a chinese guy opens a tea shop in maharashtra, what wuld he name it ?
A : Phun kun pi
( Again,in marathi, it means "blow air before you drink" the hot tea)
Right , so those PJs felt a great deal at that time and i enjoyed telling it to everyone i could get hold of. Even my alien friends !!! .
Today i met a person, who had named her baby girl "Yashika" !! .. My first reaction was laughter .. How times change ? . People first named there kids with meaningful names. These days kids names need to be unique, meaning has got less or no importance at all. May be there will be time when absurd things like chemical formulaes would be used to name kids.
Hmmm ... what should i name my kids ?? Just Incase ? Dan Druff? he he ..

I wish .
My life looks in complete turmoil these days. Nothing is going right :( since the past few days. It is making me think all over again as to what have i done till date . The more i think, the more it makes me realize that am doing things the wrong way. Sounds depressing ?? .. yeah !! .
But then,the people who know me would agree that this is just another mood swing and the phase would be over pretty quickly before i jump to some another useless thought to ponder over for days !! . Right, so in the mean time i have thought of job alternatives that i wish i was in now and believe that i could pull off, with the kind of qualification i posses to support my daily bread and butter.
- Not exactly an astrologist, but somehow i would predict people's future :-D.
My first prediction - The ongoing champions trophy will be won by Australia !!.
Also it will be a Australia vs Pakistan finals ;)
- I will become a farmer . ( Too much of farmville on facebook has influenced this decision)
- I will open a books library in my area.
Typical business minded observation that there is no books library in 8 km area of where i stay. So what if i live at the end of my city, surrounded by hills and animal grazing all around. Infact owing to my prime location of livinig , I might apply for living life as a nomad and get the certificate too. Life is bliss !!!
Ok, the mood swing is getting worse. Now am depressed again :(. Why am not doing these things !! . .Why god why ?? .. Ahh ... please grant me my wishes ... But then, if wishes were granted as shats , i would be one happy bloke ..

A thought ...
While having lunch the other day, the topic of social service cropped up and suddenly a friend popped up a thought that:
"An organization,that even in these recession times, goes to different countries , sets up their base there and recruits local people is doing a nevertheless pretty good job which is no less than a social service."
We all agreed unanimously , with few errant noises here and there made by the over enthusiastic people, that indeed these organizations are doing a noble cause from one point of view.
However the organization in question turned out to be: Al Qaeda
After the usual "Tch Tch" responses we did find out few points in this regard where we started discussing its pros and cons:
1. It not only recruits people with exceptional talent in their fields but even those people who aren't educated and don't find any job. Thereby creating employment.
2. As mentioned it gives job even to local people where it plans to set up its "industry" and expand its business.
3. There are frequent on-site "visits" in place. You might get to go to a new place if you return with "success" from the first visit ;).
4. People recruited are ready to give up their life for the cause. It takes a great deal to perform some work when u are sure that death is eminent and there is no looking back once you get in. The employees are motivated to such an extent that they are ready to lay down their life. Contrast this with a software company, a PM can't even make his sub-ordinates to work till late night consistently. All top management people should be sent to Al-Qaeda to take practice and learn how to motivate people.
Even though we were all joking around with this topic, these points are so true. Only wish that Al-Qaeda had a brain cleaning session and used its resources for a more better outcome.

Exporting shell environments via scripts
More of a technical one this is.
Recently, while creating a release package, i was facing a problem which, after some tries, I finally figured out the solution for. So here it is.
The need was to setup an environment by running a script, after which application can be run seamlessly. One of the entries in the script looked like =>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH= $(pwd)/../lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
The step was needed as the the package did install libraries in a separate path than the default one.
However even after i executed the script as " ./load.sh" , running applications still gave me error:
":error while loading shared libraries:: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
I was able to set the path inside the script and running the application from within the script worked, but from the terminal (parent process) which executed the script (child process) i was not able to set the env. paths.
The reason for the failure was that the settings done by the child process are not visible in the parent process.
Solution-> Execute script as part of parent process instead of forking, as:
. ./load.sh OR source ./load.sh
Happy shell scripting :)

Curious case of Mr. Singh
It was the evening when celebrations were in full swing to mark the end of a long , tiring journey of being the judge of supreme court and starting of a fresh, comparatively sedate one for Mr. Arun Sanyal. 28 years at the helm had not only made his hairline recede but also thought him a thing or two about life and human nature. Sipping wine at the pool side Mr. Arun was engrossed in talks about "what next"? with his close friends , just when a petite young girl in the group popped up a question.
"In all this years, you must have been through cases which were not as straight forward as they seemed. Do you remember any such case ? "
What followed next as the reply not only baffled all people there, but it also left people astounded with the complications of a bizarre death.
Mr Arun started recalling each and every detail of the case.
On April 14, 1984 the medical examiner viewed the body of Shekhar Singh and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head.
Mr. Singh had jumped from the top of a thirteen story building with the intention of committing suicide. He had also left behind a note to the effect indicating his utter sadness and having no resolution of living.However, as he fell past the ninth floor his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a window, which killed him instantly.
Further on.... neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware that a safety net had been installed by the building constructors just below the eighth floor level to protect some building workers carrying out repair works. Hence, had he not been shot, Mr. Singh would not have died as per his plans, would have be injured at the maximum, but not died.
"Technically," Mr Sanyal continued, "A person, who sets out to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even though the way in which it is achieved might not be what he intended, is still defined as committing suicide." That Mr. Singh was shot on the way to certain death, but probably would not have been successful because of the safety net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a homicide in his hands and not a suicide case.
Further investigations revealed that in the room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun blast originated, was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was threatening her with a shotgun.
On that particular day, the man was so upset that when he pulled the trigger he completely missed his wife and the bullets went through the window, striking Mr. Singh who happened to jump at the same instance. When someone intends to kill person "A" but kills person "B" in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of person "B".
When confronted with the murder charge the old man and his wife were both adamant and both said that they thought the shotgun was unloaded. The old man said it was a long-standing habit of his to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her.
Therefore the killing of Mr. Singh appeared to be an accident; that is, if the gun had been accidentally loaded. The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident.
It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son's financial support and the son, knowing the habit of his father to threaten his mother with the use of shotgun,loaded the gun. It was an ideal plan on the son's part wherein he can get revenge from his mother and also be not caught. In the course of the case, it transpires that since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he was guilty of the murder even though he didn't actually pull the trigger.
The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Shekhar Singh.
Now comes the exquisite twist. Further investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Shekhar Singh. He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother's murder. This led him to jump off the thirteen-story building on April 14th, only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing through the ninth story window. The son had actually murdered himself, so the medical examiner closed the case as a suicide ......
How interesting it could get ? :).
Update: As pointed out by my friend, this is an indianized version of a story. Link to the original one shortly. Or look at comment sections if i get lazy to point it out here

#1 -> #28
In a bid to blog more regularly i have always tried to think out of the box and try things to increase my regularity ..but nothing has helped me to press that publish post button more often. So herez one trick i was suggested and would like to implement it. Every title should go with the blog number. Increase in the number might help to encourage me to write on more stuffs regularly and over time i can stop including that # numbers. Right so here we go. But wait... i can't blog just statments like this. So here one joke:
Two bats are going for their midnight feed.
After an hour or so, one bat gets tired of looking and goes home with no blood.
The other bat comes home with blood dripping from its mouth. The first bat says enviously, "Where did you get all that blood from?"
The second bat replies, "Follow me. I'll show you."
After awhile the second bat leads him to a tree with blood spots on it. e says, "You see that tree branch over there?"
The hungry bat excitedly says, "Yes!"
Other bat says, "I didn't."
And the next question is ...
By now, we all know abt the marriage proposal of Rakhi Sawant. The glamorous doll has found this innovative and rather bizarre way of publicly searching for wannabe-brides who would get the umpteen punishment of marrying her. Well ..i saw an advertisement where she is asking us to send across questions to her which she would ask to the chosen candidates to find her numero uno lover, someone who loves her and not her money / fame / looks /blah /blah /blah . (U know what those blahs are ;) ).
Right, so being this good (looking),helpful, kind hearted, family valued (?),well cultured citizen of india ( NO !! .. am not one of the candidates of the show .. just using the opportunity to blow my own trumpets :p ) i decided i should help rakhi and came up with few questions from here and there which Rakhi should ask on her shows. So lets start the show !! ( AB in KBC style ..)
1. Can you dance ?
This is pre-requiste. Atleasst he should match the steps with rakhi on the dance floor. Else it would be so boring. Also then Rakhi can make her hubby dearest dance to her tunes ( Ungliyon pe nacchana types ;) ).
2. Can i hit you?
We all know what Rakhi did to Abhishek . Those 1 and half kg muscles do make a sound when hit hard .Hence the guy should be ready for such "physical" closeness :p ... preferably have a health insurance ..
3. Can u cook for me if i come home late?
Late night parties and the hang overs of it would not allow Rakhi to cook food u see. Also ghar ka khana is the best khana. Doesn't matter who makes them, but has to be home cooked, hence the better half has to pitch in ..
4. Can u take controversiries with pinch of salt ?
Rakhi and controverseries are synonyms. He should be ready to accept every such news and not make a big cry out of it. Atleast he should support Rakhi all long (no matter whether shez right or wrong)
5. Are u ready to go under the knife ?
Rakhi is supposedly fond of plastic surgeries. Might ask her would be to alter some parts she is disinterested in..
And last but not the least:
6. Will you allow me to wear skimpy dresses after marriage ?
Marriage with a guy might break someone's heart but not "performing" would be so bad ..
Jokes apart .. i seriously think that at some level this is surprisingly very interesting... also another thought says that this is just a attention - seeking gimmick performed to increase the TRP ratings.. No matter what, but with Rakhi hosting the show, one would definately be looking forward to see who does most of the talking this time. The host or the guests?
Your guess is as good as mine .. :-P

Tax woes
I recently calculated the total amount of tax am supposed to pay this time around and was astonished at the whopping figure !! .. Don;t understand how i have to pay so much tax when am getting paid peanuts . I have had my share of visits to the Tax department last time around and am not really interested in going back there. Also my accountant scrached every hair of his head and used all his mathematical experience gained over the decade before coming to the conclusion that this is the least amount i will have to pay. Hmm ... no wonder am so poor :p Nevertheless i remembered this joke about the Income Tax Department .so here it goes :
The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man
around that they had a standing Rs 10,000 bet. The bartender would
squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the
lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice
out would win the money.
Many people had tried over time but nobody could do it. One day,
a scrawny little man came in, wearing thick glasses.
"I'd like to try the bet," he said in a tiny, squeaky voice.
After the laughter had died down, the bartender grabbed a lemon,
and squeezed away. He handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to
the little man. But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as
the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into
the glass.
As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the Rs 10,000 and asked
the little man what he did for a living. Was he a lumberjack,
or a weightlifter, or what?
"I work for the Income Tax department."
Just wished that i come into some special category where upon i get to decide how much amount of money i need to pay as tax to the government . I promise i will honestly pay some amount. Is any "law rules maker" listening ;)

The great Indian Team
IPL has started and evenings are no more boring. With IPL comes the joy of making up your own "fantasy" team and see it winning ( mostly losing :( .. but still ..) amongst other teams in the league. But then elections are coming up too. As always i will cast my vote to that precious candidate whom i think is the most deserving one. But, if my past records of voting are to be noted, the person i have voted for never won. Infact, i once voted for a ruling party candidate and even he lost !! . Hmm .. opposition parties that want to win should contact me ;)
Anyways, with so much of prachaar and all going around, i gave a serious thought as to who should win. I realized that which party wins is not important as to who is nominated to the minitries is more important. So, i thought what the government would look like if some "dignitaries" come up to the different ministries of india. So here we go ..
1. Education Minister: Arjun Singh
If i have a son, he will face serious problems in getting admissions in institutes all because of this great !! (Or i wander around and figure out a way to get reservation certificate :p) . After all its the competetive environment which brings out the best u see :p
2. Foreign minister : Lalu Prasad Yadav.
Lets teach the world how english is spoken ;)
3. Sports Minister : Toss up between Jayalalita and KPS Gill
The first would Lead by example as in how atheletic one should be. and the later can make cricket suffer so badly that the lost sheen in other sports would be recognized.
4. IT Infrastructure : Mulayam
No computers, No english , No problem
5. Law And order Minister : Toss up between Varun gandhi and Raj Thackeray. I think half term for each :p
6. Animal welfare minister: Rabri devi
She would feel homely with animals around
7. Health minister : manmohan singh
Flexing muscles, he can promote better
8. Finance : Harshad mehta !!
Though he is no more, he would be the most apt person for the post. Did such a big scam but went almost unrecognized. Great brains
9. External Affairs:
Salman Rushdie, very good at "affairs"
10. Textile Minister: Ram Dev Baba
Less Clothes = Less money spent = rich individual = rich country = Everybody happy !! ..
(Hmm ... bollywood actresses should be considered for this post ;) )
11. Ministry of Sound: Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Pause ...... Pause .... Enough said :p
12. Food Minister: Adnan Sami
14. Prime Minister - with ministers like these, a PM is not needed .. However applications are accepted for the post

Ghajini -- Review
“Itni Shiddat se maine tujhe paane ki koshish ki hai; ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saajish ki hain”.
This is a dialogue from the OSO delivered by SRK. However, while watching the movie ghajini, i felt the dialogue more apt here. Right, so i have seen this movie and also read countless reviews people have written. Infact i read the review first and then watched the movie ( hah ..kya dude huin na main ? ). But then, i would also like to point out few things about this movie.
First, anyone who still believes that this is inspired from the movie Memento, then my friend you are correct. But the similarity ends at the fact that our hero also scribbles onto his body small details and uses photos to manage his memory as he is suffering from "short term memory loss" or referred to as the 15 min. guy as he lasts for 15 mins. I mean, his memory. Thatz it. Rest of all is the old Indian love story masala. Rich guy falls for poor girl, girl is killed, hero takes revenge !!!.Overall i would say, a bit bloody and gory movie, some scenes were really cruel. A good one time watching type.
Also have a look at this .. its self-explanatory as to why women should not be allowed to watch ghajini ..
He he ..
New Year .. new begining !!
Happy new year (to any1 who is reading this !!). New year means ..celebrations .. fireworks .. and making of new resolutions which are meant to be broken within few days or months for most of us. As i lie in that category of breaking resolution ( in few hours sometimes ), i have decided not to make any new year resolutions, instead i have made a wish-list :D.So here it goes ..
1. Around the world trip in a personal jet.
2. At least 10 servants to help me out.
3. Around 5 people whose job is to carry out my office work.
4. I want a swimming pool filled with chocolates and all sweets :-D ( still a kid u see ;) )
5. I want the prime-ministers and presidents of each country to read out news to me every morning.
6. My house should be on a hill top from where one side shuld be ocean ..and the other side should be mountains ... with the best scenery on offer ..
7. My music system should have access to all radio stations all over the world ( May be extra-terrestrial too)
8. A round the solar system vacation for me and my frnds :-D
Thatz all ... i am not greedy .. i just want everything u see :)
