Back With RAC....

-

Yes I am back today.  Well not for long coz I shall be leaving to  handle a already messed up assignment.  But about that later.  I was out for program and I got back today morning.  Good news is that I got a chance to attend Oracle 10g RAC training. Initially I didn't like the idea much as I was expecting some hurdles coming up as I was not attending this training as a normal student.  On a special request,this opportunity was given to me and as there is no free lunch anywhere, everything comes with a price and the price of this favor was that I was not allowed to ask any question in the class and was not allowed to do any hand-on too as there was no cluster setup done for me.  Well when I got there at the premises, I came to know that the instructor is Guru Parsad who attending one of my trainings and we gelled well with each other. So it was a little comfort for me that Guru was there. And the best thing that could happen to me was that Guru allowed to me attend the training as like any other normal student which was really needed for me to understand( in the very initial stages) this complex technology and also with a little power of my nature, I managed to get a working cluster also for me ;-).Don't ask how I did that coz that's a trade secret :-).Guru was taking this class for the 2nd time only but he did a good job in the explanation.  Though he still needs a lot of work to be done but with just 2 classes that he got to attend for himself, with 10days preparation, it was a brilliant job that he did, I must say.  On the last day, he shared his experience with me in break that how he was not allowed to speak a word even, not to bring his books in the training room, not to do any hands on and also how, even after the class he was not given much time to clear his doubts?And that's why he didn't want to do the same for me as he himself knew how hard it is when you are just sitting with your mind getting filled with  doubts but you are not allowed to ask a single thing.  I know this can be a disaster for a fresher who is going to understand and see this complex but great piece of technology in action. Well I am really thankful to Guru to be kind on me and clearing most of my doubts. It was a long due thing for me and its one of the most wanted technologies also at the moment. I have just taken first step towards it.  Hope I shall be able to understand it some what. Lets see how things go?

A Poetic MasterPiece By Faraz.....

-
I am a big fan of good poetry. I am not a poet myself  but where ever I do find anything good written, I try to collect and share it. Surely enough, my first preference would always be Punjabi poetry. But there is no such thing that I wont read from any where else. Whatever is good, I try to make sure that I don't miss it! There are some poets which have created history with their writings. Late Ahmed Faraz is among those handful which wrote timeless pieces from his pen. Saying anything about him would like showing torch to the sun. So without wasting any more time, I would like to share a poetic masterpiece from him which I read today only and instantly fell in love with it. This is in Hindi and I shall translate it English in a while. Please note, this does has lots of words from Urdu as well.I shall put the meanings of those words in the end of both Hindi and English versions. First, in Hindi, Dost ban kar bhi nahin saath nibhane wala, Wohi andaaz hai jaalim ka jamane

Feelings Revealed Truly & Musically....

In music, out of the most pure forms of it, one is Qawalli . This is that form of music which is sung by the people who are not mere singers but devotees of God. This form of music was not a part of commercial music industry some time ago but due to its magic, its now very common to hear this in almost every where. Despite its used now in the commercial music industry, still the original form of it with minimum music instruments and claps of the singers while singing is the most popular one and remains untouchable. There are many singers who sing this form of music but some have made it a household name due to their singing. Late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan   is among those very few who singers who are known as the masters of this devine music form. Out of millions of Qawalli songs available, there are some which hit straight in the heart. There is one that I am listening from some time and thought to share with you all. This one was specially recommended to me by my friend Sumit who himsel

Hello From Singapore….

-
Yes, I am at Singapore . Its been a while since I have come to this office where I am sitting right now, Suntec Tower 4 . The last time when I came here was in 2006. That was the first time when I came overseas for delivering a training program and this time again, the reason is same. Its so good to be back here and meet few persons whom I had met long time back and who actually taught me the few of the first lessons about the tactics of delivering a sessions. The session which I am handling right now is a VERY tough one and I am trying my best to keep things running smoothly. Hope all remains and goes fine. Its time to go for lunch. Been very long that I have seen food courts here at Suntec . Hope will find something to eat :-) .
