Google Gone Mad....

-

Yesterday, in the evening I was searching for ALG(Application Layer Gateway) executable's information. Why? Well, it was another day of my digg-for-no-use attitude :-) . Actually, I saw this executable over my box and I couldn't find the relevance of it (I did find it afterwards though) so as being a techie, I started looking for it over Google(where else). And that was the moment where I was greeted with this message by google with every search result, This Site May Harm Your Computer! WTH! I couldn't understand it at all so I searched for something which I was dead sure about, won't be harmful at all because if it is than half of the world is already  effected, Oracle.com! And guess what, google didn't do any partiality with Oracle even and it marked Oracle's corporate website and all other oracle related sites too harmful! Voila, now that's what I call "being really proactive"! Nonetheless, I called up my friend, Amardeep to confirm that is it an issue with me only or he has also seen something like this? He immediately did check over Google's browser, Chrome and indeed, without no mistake, the same message appeared there too. He checked it over another friend of his who uses Firefox and to our amazement, this message was there too! So we were assured that there is something wrong with Google now! And we were right because after some time, google posted a blog on its official blog, that they messed up indeed with a "/". Great! Well good thing is that after some time, google did correct its error( still not sure what actually the error was) but it got resolved in a short time , so things still didn't go too bad! And in case, you need a proof that google did indeed mark up Oracle's website also as harmful one, you may want to look at Amar's blog post where he has posted a screen capture of the same( check the url posted in the pic).

Oh and before I conclude, the alg.exe , which actually caused me to experience all this Google's not-so-good-experience, its not harmful but is a required service which is used by IM clients! So in case, you are also worried about this executable, you don't need to be! Be cool, its not harmful in anyways!

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 :-) .
