Festivals Festivals in America are celebrated more with the family and we can rarely see people outside on streets. On contrast Indian festivals are more with the community and we have festivals round the corner. I can hardly see people on roads for Christmas. It can be possibly because of cold also. People Greeting strangers with smile is a very common thing in America. It was hard for me coming from India to adjust this thing here but I got used to it because it made me friendlier. Safety A very contradicting point to be mentioned right after people but this holds a good position. As much as I say that people were friendly I have been warned that I have to be careful to go out in dark. If it is difficult in downtown I cannot possibly think of other places that can be safe. More number of guns than people in the USA . Food This is point that anyone who came from India would agree with me. Indian food or ingredients are very costly and everyone craves for this ...

I just wanted to start this with the saying, " Happy new year ." But just go back and realize what is it with the saying that almost each and everyone says to each other even though they don't know you or don't even care who you are and how you are for the rest of the year . I may sound skeptical in the harmony that others try to bring with you on this day, on this special day that comes once in a year but the fact that it is only for one day disappoints me and makes me think beyond the routines. I would only want you to do things that you would want to do on this day which you might find excuses for doing on all other days. You might clean your room and arrange things in your shelves (dusting included). You might find yourself going to your balcony and enjoy your surroundings by closing all your electrical gadgets for the evening. Meet your friend whose meet you are postponing for weeks together due to your works and appointment...

Times are those when politicians are hungry for power and would do anything in order to get or maintain their positions. It is matter of ego for them. There are no villains or heroes in this era. Welcome to the modern Mahabharata. Arjun and Dheeraj are the upcoming politicians who are sons of the leading politicians. Being studied in same college, there is always a rift between them from long time. Dheeraj is a stud and excels in cultural activities and has been a charm in his profile while Arjun is a sports person who is extremely trained athlete. Both have a huge following in the college and the competition between them started in the period when both of them wanted to become college presidents and followed till the elections in the city for member of legislative assembly (M.L.A). Both of them have started to make their propaganda in the city. Arjun, being a sports fan have promised to build a stadium with state of arts facility in the outskirts of the city and has b...

This post that I am going to write is not a travel trip. It is going to be strictly for those who are going to come Chennai for a living and plotted according to my experiences . Chennai is the city which has fascinated me with its travel mode all around to important places. Train route is possible for the major places. While one can go to important places in AC metro buses and good deluxe buses, there is a bus always from anywhere to anywhere. The only thing that irritates me is the negligible buses after 10 in the night. Yes, Chennai doesn’t have a night life . It halts mostly after 10 in the night. But I am having a good weekends (day time I mean) with malls , beaches , temples , cricket and sleep in home. Though it is sultry in the days with high humidity you can get coconuts all around to quench the thirst and beat the heat (at nominal prices). Autos are the nightmare (as it can be in any city). It is quite tough to bargain with them. They normally mock...

I was actually thinking about the short films which made my day and it struck to me this short film which is not only great in its story but also the execution. It is beautifully crafted to give the correct sense of humor. I laughed like anything not only the first time I have seen it but for the second third fourth and even the 1000 th time I have seen it. It is very close to normal day happening where a boy meets a girl by Facebook. Ah, I won’t tell the rest of the story. Please do watch it when you have free time. The actor is Raj Tarun (@ facebook profile ) & actress is Chandini ( @facebook_profile )  P.S. : This blog neither endorses nor a PR towards  Mr. Productions . It is just out of sheer interest and love towards the short film that made me to put up this.

"If computer programming is to become an important part of computer research and development, a transition of programming from an art to a disciplined science must be effected." Computer scientists are taught to program properly, just like linguists are taught how to write literary texts. However, not all computer scientists are programmers , just like not all linguists are writers, although most of us program regularly. For some reason, many programmers seem to think their role is to write code that makes things work. It’s not. Your job is to solve a problem with code in the most elegant way, such that your solution is easy to adapt, modify and reuse . Just like “the grass is green and the sky blue” is not literature, although it might perfectly describe the environment, coding something that just works is not programming. It’s fiddling. Most people do the wrong thing correctly and think that it is correct. Here is the post which illuminates such things and guide ...

This is one of a post that I have recently given a read on the Internet shared by The Logical Indian page on Facebook. While it says only facts, there are two faces for any coin. I just comment with the boy’s side because it is purely written by girl (another face of coin).
