The Shawshank Redemption!!

2007-09-05T15:51:00.000+05:30

After long time, my mood is now set towards Hollywood Celluloid. Last night i did get an opportunity to saw this movie. A movie with a high voltage drama based on the legendary writer Stephen King. Earlier i didn't knew that this movie is going to be my all time favorite.. really a gem.
This story is about a soft spoken Banker who is charged with the murder of his wife and her lover and his life in prison. Plot of the movie is here.
A powerful story of hope, friendship and strength. The Shawshank Redemption stars Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne and Morgan Freeman as Red. The original story Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption was written by Stephen King and appeared in the collection Different Seasons. Frank Darabont wrote the screenplay and directed the movie in 1994.

The remarkable journey of our national flag

2007-08-31T12:39:00.000+05:30

SALUTE THE SYMBOL: First Indian flag was designed by Vir Savarkar and was hoisted in 1906. In the year 1931, August 31 was declared as India's national flag day.

The resolution to adopt a tricolour flag in 1931, clearly states that it bore no communal significance. Saffron stood for courage and sacrifice White for truth and peace. And Green for faith and chivalry.
It also carried a charkha in blue on the white band which was later replaced by Ashoka's Dharma chakra symbolizing dynamism and constant change. It echoed the words of Sarojini Naidu - "Under this flag there is no difference between a prince and a pauper, rich and poor, man and woman. I bid every Indian to rise and salute this flag."

Waynad - A trip to remember

2007-08-24T18:54:00.000+05:30

For the first time on this blog am penning down my travelogue on Waynad trip which we went Last weekend.
After so many rhetoric discussion on mail threads finally we decided to go Waynad last weekend. We were 8 members, all are our childhood friends which i am going to introduce you shortly.

From the above pix: Rakesh(Timmy), Sharath (Cha cha), Myself (Muni), Arvind(Kaddi), Pramod (Haali), Pramodh S- Behind(Bakery), Naveen (Bhatta), Sachin (kariyaa/Kaage).. Infact this team is named as SKP-BOYS after our very own famous home town SHIKARIPUR

We set our trip on a white Innova, which our very own Pramodh(Haali) booked after careful consideration. We all assembled in our Home and left Bangalore on Friday 8:30PM for our Waynad journey hoping to see God's own Country. We had to stop for dinner on the Highway Dhaba, which provided an amicable atmosphere to open Chivas Regal whisky that Arvind brought it from Dubai. We had a nice time discussing all the things right from Politics to Cricket, India to Dubai, Girlfriend to Wife (future) and what not.
Subsequently we had to wind up from Dabha and took off our journey past midnight. On the Mysore highway we called for a pit stop in CCD where we had a hot cup of Cappuccino and departed from there within half an hour. Everyone took a small nap here n there till we reached Sultan Battery @ 6:00AM.

Day 1:
Straightaway we headed towards Hotel room, thanks to Sachin's friend for helping us to find out the hotel. The funniest part of that hotel lies in its strange name “CHAKKALAKKAL”. After refreshing there for about an hour or so we set out for a Edakkal caves crusade. It provides a fantastic trekking experience, which we will remember for a life time. Its almost 4000ft above from sea level and once we reached the top we were able to see 3 adjoining states (Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu). Only 3 of us reached the pinnacle of that cave and the moment we reached the top, the feeling was as if we had conquered the whole world. It took almost 4 hrs to complete this cave crusade. By 4:00PM we refreshed ourselves with some Kerala food at Sultan Battery and went to see wild sanctuary. We hired one local jeep for Rs.600 and started our journey in the forest hoping to see some wild animals which went in vain. We got an opportunity to see no other creature apart from deer. One thing which was most fascinating about this sanctuary was the road which we took, it was so horrible that everyone got pissed off from the jeep. We are all dumbstruck watching the amazing driving skills of that jeep driver.
By the time we wind up our wildlife sightseeing it was almost 7:00PM. We went to our rooms, relaxed for quite sometime, had our dinner in a near by restaurant and by 10:00PM we decided to call it quits and went for a deep sleep.

Day 2:
We all started our day with full vigor, checked out the Hotel room by 8:00AM and had our breakfast @ Hotel Regency in Sultan Battery.

So What are you Gonna 'DO' ?

After Windows Vista.. what Next for MS ?

2007-08-23T13:56:00.002+05:30

Wondering what next after Vista, then there is lot more than just this.
Microsoft revealed a new name for the upcoming operating system: "Windows 7" - as it is built upon the 7.0 version of the NT Kernel. The name, however, is similar to what "Longhorn" was for the Vista operating system - a codename that will be changed soon before the release of the final version.
Windows Vienna is going to be a major release with a totally revised GUI, Microsoft made a bold statement: by the end of 2009 Vienna will hit the shelves

Many Say it is one more move from Gates to imitate Steve Jobs just like in "Pirates Of Silicon Valley". Bcoz Windows 7.0 is similar to Mac Vienna OS in many ways. If you haven't seen that movie, Just go n watch you wont get disappointed (you can find it on Youtube).

File Transfer through USB Ports

2007-08-22T17:57:00.002+05:30

Last night one of my friend(Suresh) came with an interesting doubt. His doubt is to transfer a file from PC to PC using USB ports. Initially i thought how the hell on this Earth one can transfer file using USB ports. I knew some methods which am listing below to transfer files from one system to other.
> First option is using floppy disk(if you have) and secondly writing all contents
into your DVD and copy to other system.
> Both machines should have Network Cards and then a simple Crossover Cable will do the job
> You can get a Flash Disk (16MB) which you could plug in to USB port and use it like large Floppy disk.
> Wireless but again depends on your system whether it supports or not.
Those were the things which i knew before. Actually his question made me to stop and think for a moment. After some slogging on the Google, i finally found the solution which i didn't knew before, thanks to Suresh.
Actually you can transfer file using USB ports through USB Network cable. Amazing isn't it?
Just Plug and Play. I think its time to update myself!!

Chak De INDIA

2007-08-20T17:02:00.001+05:30

Finally King Khan is back with a bang!! After Swades and Paheli, this time with one more offbeat character where he plays as a coach of the Indian Women's Hockey team. His role as a coach is considered as one of the most challenging character ever played by SRK.

In a country where Hockey game is treated as bad as it can be, Director Shimit Amin did in fact dared to chose this as main theme of his film. He has showed his brilliance in every frame and it even shows how meticulously he has done his research on this game. Thanks to his patience which made this movie so great to watch in every aspect.

Initially i was little bit hesitant to watch this movie which is fully loaded with Hockey stuff as i am basically Cricket enthusiast. But this movie is a eye opener for me which shows every technical details of the game that really made me to think twice before commenting on this game. Director has given equal attention to every actor without any discrimination that shows his prowess.

The Film is based on a real life character called kabir Khan (Played by SRK) who himself an Indian Hockey team captain which loses against Pakistan and he was inturn made a scapegoat for that loss. Kabir khan wanted to disprove all the allegations made against him and for this he opts a daunting task as to coach Indian Women's Hockey team which is no where near the visible horizon. His only aim is to make this meek Indian team to win the Hockey world cup, which is next to impossible.You have to watch it to believe it.. its really an electrifying experience.

All actors(in fact Hockey players) are indeed putup a great show together, Dialogues are quite catchy esp sattar minute ka. We need to encourage these kind of movies otherwise we will get to see junk movies like JBJ,partner...etc. We really need to appreciate the producers(Yash raj) as well, as they dared to put money on these type of projects.
There is lot more to learn from this movie esp for our IHF, which is on the verge of precipitation.

A must watch for every Indian.. Chak De India!!!!

The Myths and Facts of Protocol Testing...

2007-08-18T11:31:00.000+05:30

I always wanted share some of the thoughts of so called Protocol Testing, thanks to web log which has provided me a podium to share this. Forget about common man, many in the IT arena itself, professionals think that protocol testing is hard to understand and that is the only reason people tend to obstinate from pursuing this as their favorite career. Let me clear some of the doubts for those people who wish to pursue this as their long term career.

Myths:
Am not from CS/EC engg background and hence this is not my cup of coffee. Its hard to learn. Should know every TDH of Computer Communication. Done software testing course and know only application software testing and hence finding this as difficult. Don't know what the heck this protocol means. Should be expert in scripting languages like Perl, Tcl, etc. Should be sound in C Programming. Have sound knowledge in Protocols but don't have testing experience and hence my profile doesn't match the requirement. Not finding any institutes offering this course..... and the list goes on...

Facts:

Though CS and E&C background is necessary for this profile it is not mandatory, I have seen many guys from Electrical, Mechanical,IT, streams who are doing very well in this field. I think it is just a matter of preference. You don't have to know every networking concept on this earth, Networking basics would be suffice. you can find all the necessary networking basics information from the following link http://cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_documentation.html.

I have been in this field for more than 3 years and i never find it difficult to learn albeit nothing comes without hard work. If you are already did your software testing course then you are half done, now read all the networking basics and put in your resume. You don't have to know each and every protocol in networking technology just make sure that you know at least 3 protocols (like RIP,OPSF,ISIS,BGP,SNMP,IPSEC etc). You don't have to be expert in scripting but atleast brush up the Tcl/Tk basics, i think it will take around 3-4 days if you know C program.

Even if you are not good in programming don't worry, all good programmers will be there to write codes. We are here to test and for testing you don't have to know programming although it helps in exploring new test cases. I have seen many people complaining about don't having testing experience but knowing in and out of protocols functionality, my advice for them is to get enroll in one of the testing course institute. I know, not many institutes are offering protocol testing course. My suggestion is just hang on with Google you will get everything, again it entirely depends on acumen of your searching.

Cisco Certifications do matter a lot if you are planning for a long term career. Certifications not only helps you in enhancing your skill/knowledge but also get you recognition which is priceless, esp when you did with your Certifications such as CCIE,CCSP..etc.

Finally, knowing all the above said things will sometimes puts you in soup, unless your CV matches the requirement. At this point of time i urge you to write your resume with utmost care, get sample resumes from Google do lot of groundwork before coming up with your final resume.

I have tried my best to clear some of the doubts, do let me know your comments if you have anything to suggest/share.

Excellent article on India's tour to England....

2007-08-16T21:02:00.000+05:30

I just stumbled upon to see this article in Cricinfo.....Nice one!!

Author is an assistant editor of Cricinfo

It takes two to Tango

In some of their warm-up games on this tour, India have used the 'retired out' option. Batsmen crossing fifty have trooped back voluntarily to the pavilion to give their team-mates more batting time. The tradition seems to have spilt over to the Test match arena, although with a slight modification. The first part, 'retired', has been forgotten - possibly because India's oldies are fed up with all this farewell tour talk - and replaced simply by 'out'.

India's plan, throughout this series, has been outstanding: reach a half-century, look good for a hundred, walk back, and watch the next person do exactly the same. No big gulps from anyone, just small bites from all. You get your fifty, I get mine. Liberty, equality, fraternity. Anil Kumble was obviously dead against this egalitarian policy, carving out a most memorable maiden century, but the rest have stuck firm.

Four years ago India's batsmen shone so bright in Australia that experts compared them to England's Bodyline-winning batch of 1932, one that included Herbert Sutcliffe, Walter Hammond, Maurice Leyland and Eddie Paynter. In four Tests Sourav Ganguly's men ransacked six sparkling hundreds, all of which were over 140. Batting feasts rarely come tastier.

This has been a series for hard-nosed cameos. Since they landed in Ireland, India have played ten matches, both first-class and international. It's produced 31 half-centuries and just two hundreds - Sachin Tendulkar's 171 at Chelmsford and Kumble's 110 here.

There's been lazy elegance (Wasim Jaffer's 62 at Nottingham and VVS Laxman's 51 here) and youthful exuberance (Dinesh Karthik's three fifties); controlled assertion (Dravid's 55 here, Ganguly's 79 at Nottingham) and single-minded accumulation (Tendulkar's 91 at Nottingham and his 82 here); guarded run-gathering (Jaffer's 53 at Lord's, Laxman's 54 at Nottingham); uncharacteristic stodginess (Mahendra Singh Dhoni's fifty at Lord's) and clinical destruction (Dhoni's 92 today).

Partnerships have been crucial. Batsmen have clung on to each other dearly with a staggering 16 50-plus stands. Unlike in Australia, where they rattled off one masterpiece after another, none of these innings will be termed 'great'. Yet they've made a collective statement. Like a swarm of bees, they've combined to make life hell for the opposition.

Jaffer and Karthik have gelled well at the top, both compact and fluent; Tendulkar and Ganguly have been like soul-mates out in the middle, chattering incessantly; Ganguly and Laxman have had to get through some crucial final sessions; Laxman and Tendulkar brought back memories of Sydney 2004 this morning - where the first brushed and the second sculpted; Dhoni and Kumble have gallantly shepherded the tail; the rest have chipped in at various points. Somebody should suggest a motto for the series: 'It takes two to Tango'.

Ganguly has been crucial. He's been the most composed of the lot but, more importantly, he's the only left-hander in the line-up. Partnerships involving him read: 28, 21, 59, 96, 67, 11* and 77. Batting at No.5, he's split the right-handers perfectly. It's put the bowlers off rhythm. His own scores haven't been outstanding (thanks to two poor umpiring horrors) but his presence invaluable.

India's lower-order didn't promise much before the series but Kumble has led a resurgence. RP Singh slugged it out as a nightwatchman at Lord's. Zaheer Khan took his batting so seriously that external objects on the pitch fired him up for a matchwinning spell. Watching Sreesanth juddering three successive fours off James Anderson was like watching a batsman in his prime. And Kumble's strung together vital partnerships: 17 and 16 at Lord's (the second helped India save the match), 50 and 9 at Nottingham (the first made a difference in the eventual result) and four special ones today: 91, 62, 21, 73.

India have long relied on individual brilliance, this one came with awesome synchrony. In batches of two they waltzed, when one left the other took over. Four years ago, in a series decider, India amassed 705 for 7 declared at Sydney on the back of Tendulkar's towering 240 and Laxman's magical 178. Here they almost matched that, with a partnership bombardment like few others.

India @ 60

2007-08-13T16:08:00.000+05:30

Come this Wednesday, India will be celebrating her 60th year of Independence with much rejoice. For many of us it has become a ritual rather than a tribute to our nation.

At the age of sixty for many of us, life will be a full circle, But for our Nation @ 60 is just started off. she is slowly and steadily marking her presence on the global arena.

India is resilient as she has to survive Moghuls, British and yet she is still strong enough to overcome any problems. Someone rightly said India is not at all a country, it is an imagination and the power which is running this imagination is the Democracy.

If you ask me which is India's biggest strength then i would say Democracy. India is the world's biggest democratic nation. In fact people lost faith in this very whole process when Indira gandhi imposed emergency in 1975 which sent all prominent politicians into prison and they even snatched fundamental rights of our citizens which our constitution provided.

After this unfortunate event everybody has thought India would no longer survive, But again after the fresh election held in march 1977, Indira gandhi and then congress won with full majority. That incident proved Indian's have full faith in Democracy.

Some people will always have a tendency to compare India with US,UK, Australia.. etc.
India is unique from all the above said countries. India is a nation where you can get to see different culture,food,language for every 100 kms. India doesnt have one official language as they have, India has 22 official languages. with all these stated differences India believes in unity in diversity.

From the past 60 yrs India is suffering from all problems, Be it poverty, unemployment, Bureaucracy, Terrorism, Corruption, etc With all the stated problems India is growing at an average of 9% GDP. Incredible isn't it?

India is the only nation where you can win elections sitting in a prison, India is the only nation wherein cities like Mumbai can woke up so peacefully a day after the Blasts as if nothing has happened to it. India has every problems on this earth, at the same time it has the potential to absorb all these evils and still showing the bright way for a millions of youngsters like us.

India is making her mark in all sectors be it Manufacturing, Service, IT, Finance, Agriculture..etc.Its standard are on par with MNCs. Indian companies have literally come of age in buying foreign companies. For example take TATA, Wipro, Infosys etc all are globally proved themselves and even they successfully managed to buyout foreign firms.

Slowly but steadily India is sending strong signals of development to every nook and corner of the earth in every aspects.

I am proud to be an Indian... Don't you?

Our former president Abdul Kalam's Developed India will soon be a reality...i wish we will be living in developed India very soon.

The Nine Biggest Myths of the Workplace by Penelope Trunk

2007-08-10T22:32:00.000+05:30

This is the excerpt from the Interview with the author of The Nine Biggest Myths of the Workplace

Here it goes..

I liked Penelope Trunk's interview so much that I asked her for more material. Here's her list of the nine biggest workplace myths:

1.

You’ll be happier if you have a job you like.

The correlation between your happiness and your job is overrated. The most important factors, by far, are your optimism levels and your personal relationships. If you are a pessimist, a great job can’t overcome that. (Think of the jerks at the top.) And if you have great friends and family, you can probably be happy even if you hate your job (imagine a garbage collector who’s in love).
2.

Job-hopping will hurt you.

Job hopping is one of the best ways to maintain passion and personal growth in your careers. And here’s some good news for hoppers: Most people will have eight jobs between the time they are eighteen and thirty. This means most young workers are job hopping. So hiring managers have no choice but to hire job hoppers. Ride this wave and try a lot of jobs out yourself.
3.

The glass ceiling still exists.

The glass ceiling is over, not because people crashed through, but because people are not looking up. Life above the glass ceiling is 100-hour weeks, working for someone else, and no time for friends and family. And it’s not only women who are saying no to the ladder up: Men are as well. People want to customize success for themselves, not climb someone else rungs. So if no one is climbing to the top, the glass ceiling isn’t keeping anyone down.
4.

Office politics is about backstabbing.

The people who are most effective at office politics are people who are genuinely nice. Office politics is about helping people to get what they want. This means you have to take the time to figure out what someone cares about, and then think about how you can help him or her to get it. You need to always have your ears open for when you can help. If you do this, you don’t have to strong arm people or manipulate them. Your authentic caring will inspire people to help you when you need it.
5.

Do good work, and you’ll do fine.

For one thing, no one knows what the heck you’re doing in your cube if you’re not telling them. So when you do good work, let people know. It is not crazy to toot your own horn--it’s crazy to think someone will do it for you. Also, if you do good work but you’re a jerk, people will judge your work to be sub par. So you could say that good work really only matters if your co-workers enjoy hearing about it from you.
6.

You need a good resume.

Only ten percent of jobs come from sending a blind resume. Most people get jobs by leveraging their network. Once you have a connection, the person looks at your resume to make sure there are no red flags. So you need a competent resume and an excellent network. This means you should stop stressing about which verb to use on the second line of your third job. Go talk to someone instead.
7.

People with good networks are good at networking.

Just be nice, take genuine interest in the people you meet, and keep in touch with people you like. This will create a group of people who are invested in helping you because they know you and appreciate you. Use LinkedIn to leverage those peoples’ networks, and you just got yourself a very strong network by simply hanging out with the people you like.
8. Work hard and good things will come.

Everyone can put in a seventy-hour week. It doesn’t mean you’re doing good work. So here’s an idea: Make sure you’re not the hardest worker. Take a long lunch. Get all your work done early. Grand thinking requires space, flexibility and time. So let people see you staring at the wall. They’ll know you’re a person with big ideas and taking time to think makes you more valuable.
9.

Create the shiny brand of you!

There is no magic formula to having a great career except to be you. Really you. Know who you are and have the humility to understand that self-knowledge is a never-ending journey. Figure out how to do what you love, and you’ll be great at it. Offer your true, good-natured self to other people and you’ll have a great network. Those who stand out as leaders have a notable authenticity that enables them to make genuinely meaningful connections with a wide range of people. Authenticity is a tool for changing the world by doing good.

Sachin Tendulkar

2007-08-08T12:16:00.000+05:30

Child prodigy!!....
Thats how i used to call Tendulkar 17 yrs ago. A boy hailed from a typical middle class family in the suburbs of Mumbai then Bombay, played the game at the age of 16. His debut at Karachi in 1989 produced just 15 runs but he signaled the advent of legendary cricketer of all time in the cricket history. From then on he never looked back in his career spanning more than one and a half decade.

At the age of early 20's Tendulkar was not just a player but has became an icon for a millions of young adolescents like me. I always wonder how a person with so much already achieved at that early age and still held his head firmly on his shoulders.

I always admired Tendulkar for his simplicity rather than his game. I used to imitate Tendulkar in many ways without knowing what i am doing. Like me many millions of indians adored him worshiped him.

Thats why there is a saying " In India cricket is the religion and Tendulkar is their god". This is absolutely true in my opinion. Cricket is the only game in India where people mix with each other forgetting all sorts of barrier.

Wonder how can a movie without any big banner to name, without any big stars involved and the director already with 2 back to back flops in his 4 film career went on to become a greatest commercial hit in Kannada industry.
Hats off to Yogaraj Bhat, who really made this movie a phenomenon in film industry.
What one can watch in this movie.. well if i am not from this land, then i would say Music. Bcoz this is what i heard from all non-kannadigas who watched this movie.

Yup, u r right... i would say every bit of this movie is enjoyable. Take lyrics for that matter, after
Chi.Udayshankar , Jayanth kaykini is the only lyricist in kannada industry who took the audience over such a big storm. Thanks to Mano murthy for his soothing score.

Yogaraj bhat has used his 10 yr industry experience very carefully and shot this movie using all exotic locations of our state. Cameramen has showed his brilliance while shooting a song in Jog falls and one in north Karnataka.

Finally our comedy time Ganesh's dialogues made all the difference to this movie. He proved what people expected from this guy...

A must watch for everyone..

A masterpiece of our generation after Bangarada manushya by annavru..
