Hi All

We have moved to a new host Hostbig.com

I am going to continue with the long lost blog once again . This time it will be a little different. We’ll see a collection of photos clicked by me on this blog here.

I decided to put some time and money into photography, which has always been my hobby. I started as a kid with a small Halina film camera, and ever since then I have always been the one behind the camera.

A my first personal camera, I did not want to go for a mere point and shoot one. Of course they take nice snaps, but I wanted to learn, and have a little flexibility. DSLRs are obviously awesome and the professional cameras, but i did not have the kind of budget to buy a decent DSLR camera (the one I liked was for $1200).

So I looked for a nice bridge camera, and found Fujifilm FinePix S2950

It is a really nice camera, and truly value for the money. You can get in online for about INR 9,000-10,000 and from the stores you’ll get it for INR9,999+. The camera offers a lot of options, and basic features of a semi-pro camera, that will help you learn how to use manual controls. You can find more if you google for it.

As i needed help I found this group on Flickr of people using this camera, and they are really doing wonders. Let’s hope I can learn to do the same with it.

So we are going to see what the camera does for me, or rather what I do with it.

For more, keep coming back.

If you are facing any problem related to folder options or show/hide hidden folders i.e. You changed the “Show hidden files and folders” but the hidden files are still not coming. And when you check the folder options again it has gotten reverted back.

To resolve goto this link , download the Registry file and merge it to your registry (just double click the file you have downloads)

Hi All

My apologies, i have not been able to keep my promise of keeping the blog updated. I have been too preoccupied with my work, that I could not give attention to this.

Currently working on a Telecom project, as a Siebel Administrator and Associate, busy working for long and odd hours.

Learning new stuff each day, will post more about my “Adventures in Mumbai” very soon.

Till then, take care, play safe!!

Hi all
I am in Mumbai now
will be continuing with the blog as soon as I can.

The moving process is over now. Took lesser time than I anticipated.
Thanks to the export/import feature of WordPress, and numerous tutorials on the web, that tell us how to move your site and all permalinks without losing visitors (and to some extent the PR)
I am gonna start posting stuff soon.

Just found this picture making rounds over the web.
the picture is so unbelievable that i almost feel its altered.
Well technically it isnt.
I find it hard to believe that the bachchans can do that.
I am a fan of Big B, and i don’t think his family could be that naive to do this on camera

checkout for yourself.

The server at my office crashed this week. We had moved all our projects onto it just 2 weeks back. And the worse thing is we had no backups. As it was supposed to be stable and was going to be equipped with a RAID partition soon.
But alas!!
Now we’ll have to do most of the work again right from the start.
So I guess I am going to be even busier in the coming weeks.
But this has taught us a lot, now we’re going to be prepared for the future

I was just surfing around and found out the official latest version of the Constitution of India, owned, maintained and updated by Legislative Department, Ministry of Law and Justice.

Here’s the link : http://indiacode.nic.in/coiweb/welcome.html

It provides Index wise as well as fulltext search facility and the text is available in Hindi & English.

And in case you wana download the ful pdf version you can get it here, again a governmental website so its all official.

So, “We the people of India..” can access the constitution anytime and use it for our reference, with pride.

So, Tech Mahindra has done it. It kept saying no-no all the time, and finally Tech Mahindra is the company that has bagged Satyam, the ill-fated Software Giant.

Whatever Raju did has worked out great for Tech M.

Tech Mahindra(formerly Mahindra British Telecom) the software arm of Mahindra & Mahindra Group, ranked 6th in the last NASSCOM rankings, has so far been focussed on the telecom sector only, and has been a pioneer there. Now it is foraying into the big sea with huge infrastructure of Satyam, with the experienced employees which were a strength of the company that made it big, big enough to shake world markets when it went down itself.

This is special for me as I am waiting for my joining with Tech Mahindra, since last September (which was postponed due to the recession and projects getting delayed). This event can change a lot for people like me. Nobody can actually say whether it is going to be good or bad. Now when Tech Mahindra gains control over Satyam it will have to take care of an emancipated beast that once roared the jungles of IT world, but once it gets better it will strengthen Tech M a lot. The number of engineering passouts of 2008 batch waiting for their joining in Satyam are huge in number, while the existing employees of Satyam seek some consolation in this acquisition by Tech M.

All I hope is that people like me get to join their dream jobs soon.
We have waited to long. I hope things turn out good for people at Satyam as well.
